Westies in Need - WiN
Success Stories
One of our little rescues was named Lilly- she was the worst case of skin problems we had ever seen when she arrived into our rescue program.
The Pet Network saw her info on our website and asked if they could do a story on our Lilly and our rescue.
Click here to watch the video

..well...where do we even begin! OK, we will start at the beginning...
Late one afternoon the phone rang and it was the Montreal SPCA ... they have a 13 year old partially deaf, visually impaired Westie that was brought in to them as a stray. They've held him the required time for a stray and he's now ready to be released....would our rescue take him???? Of course we would!
Our WONDERFUL co ordinator in Quebec jumped into the car to head over to the SPCA to pick up this senior fellow. She arrived to find a filthy little Westie ... covered in dreadlocks and caked in excrement. So pitiful looking, long hair covering his face ... you couldn't even see his eyes!
Stiff from being caged the last 12 days, it took us a long time, to go a really short distance ... over 15 minutes and we'd only made it to the parking lot.
However, this boy was happy to be outside in the fresh air.
We found a GREAT foster home and he was welcomed with open arms. A bath was next, then gently trimming some hair and crusted discharge from his eyes. Jeremy was very sensitive to anyone touching his face.
Next was a visit to the Vet...bloodwork was done and believe it or not, his blood panel results were amazing, so an appointment was booked for his dental work. Not a wonder this poor boy didn't want anyone to touch his face, his mouth was in a horrific state!!! While under anesthetic ... 14 teeth were removed, the remaining scaled and polished, his nails clipped (they were so long they had curled under into his pads!!) and his paw pads cleaned up ... they were infected from so much tangled hair and excrement caked into them. Anti-biotics and pain meds ... he was on his way to his foster home to begin recovery.
Each day has been a new beginning for Jeremy ... he has been gaining strength and feeling better!
An update...Jeremy has been adopted. We are very excited to share that Jeremy will find his forever home with Susan from Ottawa. It was LOVE at first sight! Susan has been a Westie owner her entire life and is very excited to become a family with Jeremy.

We assured Katie's Ma-ma that we'd take really good care of her!!!
Miss Katie is fostering with wonderful volunteers in Ottawa
An update...Katie had been labelled as not house trained but at no fault of hers, she had been suffering from Hormonal Urinary Incontience from a spay a few years prior.
A medication called Stilbestrol (hormone supplement) has Katie no longer soiling herself while sleeping or standing .. she is dry over night and beginning to get the concept of asking to go outdoors to do her business!!
This sweet wee girl had been experiencing diarrhea off/on for a long period of time and low and behold wasn't her B12 low and folate high in her blood results. Again, at no fault of Katie's she was suffering from SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth). She has responded well to a series of B12 injections to build her up and will continue monthly injections for the remainer of her life.
Katie was also very thin, having several bowel movements per day (7-8). A special blood test confirmed our suspicion that Katie has EPI - Exoocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency and requires a special pancrease enzyme powder added to a wee bit of plain yougurt just before her meals, to aid in the digestion and absoprtion of nutrients. Katie has reached her ideal weight for her petite frame!!!
We are so very excited to share the news that Katie has been adopted (here is an updated picture!) and joined her new furever family! There are not enough words to express our thanks to those who will open their hearts and home to take in a senior Westie and we are elated to share this "happy ending" story!

A family's recently-discovered correspondence provides the inspiration for this fascinating and deeply-moving account of Jewish family life before, during and after the Holocaust. Rebecca Boehling and Uta Larkey reveal how the Kaufmann-Steinberg family was pulled apart under the Nazi regime and left divided between Germany, the US and Palestine. The family's unique eight-way correspondence across two generations brings into sharp focus the dilemma of Jews in Nazi Germany facing the painful decision of when and if they should leave Germany. The authors capture the family members' fluctuating emotions of hope, optimism, resignation and despair as well as the day-to-day concerns, experiences and dynamics of family life despite increasing persecution and impending deportation. Headed by two sisters who were among the first female business owners in Essen, the family was far from conventional, and their story contributes a new dimension to our understanding of life in Germany during these dark years.Read more

Expertly illuminated by Rebecca Boehling and Uta Larkey, it is based on an extraordinarily full set of correspondence between family members with diverse perspectives. Among the many strengths of this superb study is the extent to which it challenges persistent notions concerning gender roles, relations with non-Jewish Germans, and attitudes toward traditional Judaism within German Jewry." -Michael Berkowitz, author of The Crime of My Very Existence: Nazism and the Myth of Jewish CriminalitySee more reviews
"Based on a unique collection of private documents, Rebecca Boehling's and Uta Larkey's story of the fragmentation, destruction and regeneration of the Kaufmann-Steinberg family in the Holocaust is disturbing, saddening and intriguing -- an outstanding book, as powerful as the famous diaries of Victor Klemperer and the renowned letters of Lily Jahn." -Thomas Kühne, author of Belonging and Genocide: Hitler's Community, 1918-1945.
"The authors have eloquently evoked the pain of a family scattered over three continents by Nazi persecution. Using gender and intergenerational analyses of a recently discovered cache of 600 letters, they have shown how increasing persecution forced German Jews to address the heart-wrenching question of whether to "go or to stay." This unique correspondence between siblings and their elders as well as among siblings also documents the ultimate terror of trying to escape Germany as the noose tightened, first around the younger ones, who managed to flee, and then around the older ones. This collective family biography will be hard to forget: it reveals the sheer agony of family decisions, the maddening frustration of emigration and immigration red tape, and the deafening silence of the people left behind." -Marion Kaplan, author of Between Dignity and Despair: Jewish Life in Nazi Germany
"It is scholarship that impresses not only with its vigor, but with its narrative pull and its strong but quiet moral commitment to memory and its power." -UMBC's Alumni Magazine
"The haunting nature of these letters provides great poignancy and makes this collection an outstanding addition to Holocaust collections." -Booklist
"The book is an excellent resource for historical novelists and for anyone fascinated by the decade leading up to World War II in Germany." -Kristen Hannum, Historical Novels Review

text: Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, since this is the most tragic Pistons team in memory, I thought it might be nice to talk about what would constitute a successful season, and what individual player goals might look like. Since that would be a fairly brief discussion, I was wondering what young players forum members might be interested in acquiring. I'm not talking about guys like Blake Griffin. I'm talking about young players with promise, and potential free agents a year or two down the road. I'll start with individual player goals, starting with what I believe to be the most important, and moving down from there. 1. Brandon Knight becomes a legit point guard. I love his athleticism. He's got a nice stroke. He looks like he can get to the basket. Can he be a point guard, or just another in a series of combo guards? His instincts for the game are promising. His defensive hustle is impressive. He's had more assists than turnovers in his last few games, and he seems to be getting more and more comfortable. I would like to see him average 13-14 ppg and 6-7 apg over the last month of the season, and show the poise necessary to be a quality starting point guard. 2. We win the Drummond lottery. 3. Austin Daye consistently puts together two elements of his game. Whether it's consistent perimeter shooting, defensive competence, or the ability to post up swingmen, he needs to find two elements in his game to bring every night. If he can't do that, then we wasted a pick. I still have faith in him, but his time to show improvement is running out. If he can manage to do that, then we've found ourselves a piece of the puzzle. I would like to see Daye earn 20 minutes a night over the last month of the season. 4. Super Collider shows that he can be a high quality sixth man at both guard spots. He's a solid defender. He can handle the point in stretches, but I don't like him there for more than 12-15 minutes a game. He can score with the ball in his hands, but he hasn't shown the stroke to be able to log heavy minutes at the 2. If he can give us 12-15 productive minutes at each guard spot, then he can almost live up to his contract, and help us win games. I would like to see Stuckey give us 12-13 ppg and 3-4 apg off of the bench. 5. Greg Monroe continues to develop. The reason that this is so low is that his ceiling is already so high. At worst he's an 18-9 guy. It would be nice if he could become a poor man's Kevin Love with better defense. I would like to see Greg average 20-10 over the last month of the season. What say you?


text: I have ordered a new supercharger snout for my 2.55 pulley from Lingenfelter. Just wanted to make sure I could revert back to stock and did'nt want to take the chance of the pulley being wrecked, I'm also gonna have it ported. I'm sure everyone knows that they sell them but just in case some don't I thought I would post this. So much for the upper being cheaper.....it's now the same cost. Oh well I have piece of mind now. Oh yeah it was about 750.00.

Today's Oracle takes us to the Gemini monthly for Jan. 9, 2006
For Gemini, the emphasis this year is on water, and a little goes a long way. You don't want too much; it's possible to use water for inspiration, or to drown emotionally. Balance is key. An aquarium would make a great addition to your home (invest in the best lighting you can get, so the plants will thrive), which will remind you of what the world of feelings is really about. At the same time, you need to add something fiery; if you have a fireplace, use it more, or experiment with lighting that touches hot colors, such as yellow and orange.
Note, The Oracle is a random selection from the Eric Francis horoscope archives. Each day we publish one entry from among the 10,000 in our database. It's a little slice of horoscope history — but chosen by our Oracle program, which always speaks to the present moment. New horoscopes are published each Friday plus twice a month in Planet Waves subscriber edition and Planet Waves Light. And for your 2012 annual reading, you'll find Revolution. Revelation. Reality Check.

Nicole is a 16-year-old from Philadelphia, PA. She loves music and can often be found singing or
playing the piano or guitar, but largely focuses on academics as well with aspirations to one day be
an editor or journalist.
Arguments, emotions, and worries about the future can all break down the bonds of what may be even the strongest of relationships. Deceit, shame, and anger may further widen the gap between people who may think they know everything about each other. Unfortunately, all of these things are common feelings, battles, or results of an eating disorder. And even more unfortunately, they consistently lead to the downfall of even the most precious of relationships- parent and child. How does a child that is a victim of an eating disorder cope with this? Isolation. It is often forgotten that there are many symptoms to an eating disorder that have little to no relation to food. Isolationism is one of them.
When I fell into my eating disorder, I didn't realize that I was isolating myself until one of my doctors told me that it was a very common symptom of my disease. All of a sudden I started noticing myself becoming more and more distant from others, specifically my family. I spoke less and less around my mother and father. Family game night became a thing of the past. Even the littlest of things, such as sitting together on the same couch to watch TV, no longer occurred. I was on auto-pilot every time I entered my house– I would make a beeline straight to my room. I couldn't bear to be around people whom I felt I no longer had any sort of connection with.
To put into words the suffering one goes through when fighting an eating disorder is nearly impossible. As a mother or a father, this experience may be somewhat relatable to trying to explain to a child how much you love them. In the end, the explanation often comes down to "you'll understand when you're a parent", for no words can truly convey to your child exactly how you feel for they have not yet shared your experience of having a child of their own. However, when attempting to convey the brutal misery of a disease such as anorexia, bulimia, or binge-eating, a sufferer cannot simply state "you'll understand when you have an eating disorder." More often than not, they cannot convey their despair at all. This failure to have someone understand, this inability of others to relate to them, causes the victims to feel further alienated from everyone around them. Thus, the isolation beings and will continue to be fueled as the disorder digs deeper and deeper into the mind of the victim.
In my personal experience, what drove my need to isolate myself at home was my unexplained anger (later explained during family therapy sessions while I was in treatment) towards my parents. I learned that the only way to temporarily ease my frustration directed at them was to completely avoid them altogether. Thus, my malicious anger created even more distance between me and my family, subtly fueling my need for isolation.
One day, on the way home from a doctor's appointment distended with bad news, my mom and I got into a severely heated argument. It reached the point where I was almost sure that passengers in the cars next to us on the highway could hear word for word my mother's frantic attempts at reasoning with me and my hopeless retaliation of why I felt I could not change. After I had tried in so many ways but repeatedly failed to have my mother comprehend my struggle, I could do nothing more than desperately cry, "You won't ever understand." My mother's reply was something I'll never forget: "You're right, I won't, and I don't know what to do." These few words, this honest truth, restored threads of our relationship that had been long lost. For so long she had felt that as a mother it was her duty to stay strong, to appear as if she knew what the right thing to do was. But her tearful and helpless honesty had exposed a vulnerability that I could so easily relate to. We were now both completely open with each other, and through this we realized that we were just as lost as the other, not knowing how to cope with this disease that was slowly but surely plaguing our entire family. Although our relationship had long been shattered by continuous fights and tears, the fragments were still there, waiting to be picked up and put back in place.
It was after this bout of honesty that I realized that although my parents could not understand exactly what I was going through, this didn't mean that we could no longer connect. Although the struggle of a child with an eating disorder is very different from the struggle the parent of the suffering child faces, both the child and the parents are fighting against the same thing. As a parent, it is important to remind your child that you are fighting this disease together. Be honest and open about how you feel, and through this prevent isolation by maintaining threads of your relationship with your child. What they need most is to know that you are just as vulnerable as they are. It's okay if you do not know what to do next, or how to "fix" the problem, what matters is that you still find ways to connect with your son or daughter.

The Shins
While we waited more than three years for the Shins' follow-up to Chutes Too Narrow, watching "New Slang" blow up, another indie-pop outfit by the name of Animal Collective released two modern classics: Sung Tongs and Feels, the most glorious and far-out pop music since "Good Vibrations" dropped in '66.
Even though critics had originally tagged the Shins as the Beach Boys reincarnate, Animal Collective stole the Shins' thunder -- and the Shins apparently agreed. "Sleeping Lessons," the first cut on the Shins' Wincing the Night Away, the disc we've all been waiting for, unfolds like a Feels medley condensed and rewritten, with Animal Collective trademarks popping up everywhere: swirling vocals fed through mind-warp effects, lullaby melodies, droning ambience, techno-inspired electronics and that slowly building tribal urgency that explodes into psych-pop ecstasy.
This carries into Wincing's "Australia," where the opening la-la-la's tumble down a flight of stairs, only to bounce upward, bursting into playful falsetto -- it's total Sung Tongs. From here, though, Animal Collective's influence recedes into the distant background, while the Shins return to cleverly nicking tricks from the Cure, the Smiths and, of course, those Beach Boys. This is where the two bands part ways. Animal Collective -- like Brian Wilson at his very best -- always looks to the future, while the Shins are content with the retro shtick.

Conservation Area List, Character Appraisals, Management Plans and Maps
Information on conservation areas
Below is a list of all the designated conservation areas in South Oxfordshire, listed alphabetically.
In addition to the initial designation, the council has a duty assess from time to time, the special interest, character and appearance of all conservation areas. We must consider any additions or changes to their boundaries, and present proposals for their enhancement and management.
Conservation character appraisals or studies and management plans are linked below the settlements for which they exist. Unfortunately we do not have the resources to undertake such appraisals very quickly and all those available are listed below.
Interactive Conservation Area Map
If you do not know the name of the settlement you are looking for, or want to see the area in a wider context, please follow the link below for the interactive conservation area map of the entire district:
Current conservation area appraisal work
Wallingford Conservation Area Appraisal
During the last few years a number of conservation area appraisals have been completed, including for Thame and Henley. Wallingford has also been looked at and a draft report has been produced by consultants appointed to undertake the appraisal and to propose a management plan. The appraisal has reviewed the extent of the current conservation area and some changes to it are proposed in the management plan. The draft report does not propose extending the conservation area as far as Winterbrook but it does recommend that there is an area at Winterbrook which is worthy of consideration as a new, separate conservation area. We have received a request for access to the consultants draft report and have released it.
This draft report from the consultants has no status as a council document because it has yet to be formally considered. Before considering whether to adopt some or all of the proposals in the management plan, the appraisal and the management plan must first be subject to a public consultation. We will be looking to take this work forward but it is not in the immediate work programme nor in the Forward Plan.

Ironing Board Cover C, 124x45 cm, PerfectFlow - Bubbles is rated out of 5 by 23.Rated 5 out of 5 by SergeD from Complete Perfect flow cover Bought the Perfect flow cover (grade C) for my Brabantia ironing board with the hope that it will prevent water from leaking on the floor due to condensation. I am using a powerful steam iron and in the past was causing a lot of water dripping on the floor. I have tried it once so far and it does perfectly the job. I really hope it will last for a good while. The cover was also quite easy to fix and the surface is very smooth, making ironing an enjoyable experience. The delivery in Montreal, Canada was very fast, 3 or 4 days only, considering I ordered it online and shipped from Europe I think. I was wondering though why the packaging for the cover was open when I received it as if someone has checked the product. Thanks for letting me knowDate published: 2014-01-09Rated 5 out of 5 by Maydew from Superb I've already purchased this product before and am so happy that it does exactly what it says it does and so recommended to a friend of mine. I think it's a little expensive but what price can you put on something that is in complete control of your ironing never wetting the floor. Replacement top covers afterwards are not so expensive.would totally recommend this product to anyone. Ingenious.Date published: 2016-06-25Rated 4 out of 5 by Didi from GREAT FOR STEAM IRONS Cover is superb, quite thick and the iron glides over it easily. Stops steam drips! String is a tad flimsy for the thickness of cover and makes it fiddly to fit.Date published: 2013-12-14Rated 5 out of 5 by Siouxsiesue15 from Great product Bought this because mine was wearing thin at the edges and I wanted a new one. I use a steam generator iron and after ½ hour there is water on the floor. This iron board cover stops the water getting on to your floor and it's great! Wasn't sure that it would live up to what it said that it would do, but it does and it's fantastic.Date published: 2014-01-06Rated 5 out of 5 by Inno from Happy that I finally upgraded I needed to replace the original one that was app 9 years old , I ordered the cover online and was surprised how fast it was delivered . Much more pleasant to look at rather than a bland or flat cover but the drip proof padding is very imporessive . Installation was very easy and you even recieve a small plastic gadget to help you tie it properly . I have since only ironed a few articles of clothing and there are no issues .Date published: 2015-12-13Rated 5 out of 5 by Angelajanet66 from Perfect flow Glad I bought this brand, I used this before , then for my second cover went to another brand , which slipped about , so happy to buy and benefit from the improved features that have been added.Date published: 2014-05-06Rated 5 out of 5 by 4x1m from Excellently engineered product Replaced a 10-year-old cover to a Brabantia board. The board itself is still as good as new. The new cover is greatly improved, very easy installation. The mechanism for the tightening twine is superb. Web store works smoothly, quick and free delivery to door. (Tip: The rubber band for finalizing the tightening of the cover to the board in also improved, but you can use also the band from the old cover as an extra tightener for even better fit).Date published: 2014-08-27Rated 5 out of 5 by Doggie man from Ironing board cover My wife loved my gift of a new cover for her ironing board I fitted it the same day it arrived followed the instructions fitted perfectly within moments she was back ironing The wife is well pleased that there are no more droplets of water on the floor while ironing She also commented on my choice of design Wounderful replacementDate published: 2016-11-09

Positive Feedback ISSUE 70
SL-Matrix50 Interconnects and SL-Matrix90 Speaker Cables
as reviewed by Robert Youman
It's becoming very clear that we have entered the dawn of a new day in the industry. There are many new cutting edge audiophile products that are just entering the market that can really make a difference in sound quality. My hope is that consumers are realizing this and are taking advantage. It also gives me hope that we can break through to the MP3 IProduct crowd. We need to help these folks realize how rewarding this hobby can be and to keep the momentum going!
The MIT SL-Matrix50 Interconnects and SL-Matrix90 Speaker Cable are perfect examples. MIT and founder Bruce Brisson have an impressive legacy. It all began back in 1984 with some very creative breakthrough technologies and unique product offerings. Many of the industry's leading manufacturers use MIT cables to design and voice their components. Just take a walk through any of the big audio shows and events. You will find MIT everywhere from entry level systems to some of the most expensive state of the art demonstrations. You will also find MIT in many of the finest professional recording studios in the world.
MIT Multipole™ Networks - Overview
It is always impressive when flagship technology finds its way to other price points in the portfolio. In this case we steal some thunder from MIT Oracle product development. The technologies and designs behind the SL-Matrix cables are impressive. I want to get this correct, so I will just quote some of the back story directly from the MIT website. Please see the three paragraphs below.
Related to the studies mentioned above, I also highly recommend that you check out the additional analysis and graphs on the MIT website that demonstrates how correct cable design can impact the audible range of human hearing. These graphical representations describe how articulation poles can be tuned to optimize lows, mids and highs for better cable performance. A picture is worth a thousand words. Very interesting reading!
Review System
Magico Q7 Speakers
Caveat Emptor
System synergy and personal taste are critical when evaluating high-end audio products. This review is based on my subjective requirements, my subjective ears, and my specific system and listening room. These combinations of components are only a few data points of many that exist out there. For further insight into my personal biases, check out the "Meet The Writers" section of Positive Feedback. Please consider my comments and analysis appropriately.
I am going to start from the bottom up as we begin this evaluation. Let's be very clear about the first of several findings. The MIT SL-Matrix50 interconnects and SL-Matrix90 speaker cable provide some of the finest bass production that I have heard in my system. This should be no surprise as MIT has long been known as a leader in this frequency range. In addition to the expected quality and quantity of authority and thunder, there is also a certain amount of newly discovered sonic texture and dimensionality that makes the results so appealing. This last statement also applies to the entire range of frequencies.
Rob Wasserman's Duets CD is an excellent choice for demonstrating what I am hearing. Many would argue that Wasserman is one of our finest musicians on both acoustic and electric bass. He is well known and respected for his solo efforts and his time with the likes of The Grateful Dead, Lou Reed, Ricky Lee Jones, Neil Young and on and on. This release includes an eclectic mixture of different musicians and musical styles with very high production values and sound quality.
"Gone With The Wind" on Track 7 with just Wasserman on bass and Dan Hicks on vocals is a real test. Just inside the left speaker is Wasserman on acoustic bass and just inside the right speaker is Hicks. These are not singular flat representations on one plane. Through the MIT interconnects and speaker cable, both are locked in two distinct three dimensional images with tremendous presence and clarity.
Hicks demonstrates some very entertaining scat skills that may totally surprise you. As he moves up and down the scale, so does Wasserman on acoustic bass—almost like dueling banjos. Even more impressive here is the scope and depth of the lower frequencies. Tone, timbre and weight are spot on. Slam is impressive. You get sizzling dynamics that will have your head spinning.
Next up are mids and highs. When I stated in an earlier preview that "this is not your father's MIT", I was referring to these two frequency ranges. Back in the day when digital front ends were just introduced, I would always run like hell to my MIT stash for a quick and effective solution to the grainy almost clinical sound that was coming out of those CD players. As time marched on and digital became much more representative of the real thing (yet still not the equal of analog just yet), I found these same cables to be missing a certain sense of openness and life.
With the new MIT SL-Matrix line, we now have something very different . If this experience sounds familiar, you really owe it to yourself to check out these new designs. Mids and highs are now airy and extended with tremendous transient speed and articulation. Supplementing this is that wonderful level of sonic texture and dimensionality that I mentioned earlier.
Patricia Barber's Companion SACD on Mobile Fidelity exhibits this well. This is a series of live performances in 1999 at the Green Mill Jazz Club right here in my hometown of Chicago.
Barber is known for her jazz singing and piano abilities, but many of her most interesting arrangements are based on pop and rhythm & blues. Her first albums that took off in popularity, Modern Cool and Cafe Blue, are well represented here.
"Touch of Trash" on track 7 is an incredible roller coaster ride of thrills as Barber demonstrates her most daring and whimsical side. As the song begins, you get another great test of bass as Michael Arnapol surges along and lays down a depth charge like foundation for the other musicians. Barber's vocals come through as breathy and sensual as ever—nicely fleshed out with plenty of inner detail. Jason Narducy, on accompanying vocals, can be slightly edgy if not cold on some systems, but not here. You get a rich harmonic presentation. You gotta love the line "she's just a button short of trash". I have known a few of these ladies in my time - fortunately or unfortunately.
Eric Montzka on drums and Rubin P. Alvarez on percussion jump in and then the mix of cymbals and various other metal percussion begins to fly. All are clearly delineated and properly shaped with plenty of appropriate splash and air around each instrument. No over kill here for effect. You get the excitement but it all sounds very natural and real. Again, this a new MIT in action!
Lastly, we have the Prokofiev "Love Of Three Oranges Suite" conducted by Antal Dorati with the London Symphony Orchestra on Mercury Living Presence records. I am fortunate to own an original pressing given to me by my generous father-in-law. These Living Presence recordings have reached immortal status, and deservingly so. Recorded in the famous Watford Town Hall in London, an acoustic marvel in itself, we get a reading and a performance that is just tantalizing. Based on a fairy tale by the 18th century Venetian poet and author Carlo Gozzi, the score reflects a definite mixture of humor and satire.
The famous "Marche" movement has seen many different arrangements and interpretations over the years. Jascha Heifetz was one in particular who used it often for his recitals. For me it still stands the test of time. I don't mean to be disrespectful to Prokofiev, but it can on occasion sound like something that John Williams might have composed - the words panoramic and commanding come to mind. Exciting stuff!
The key here is the initial interplay between woodwinds and strings. Again, the MIT cables come shining through. When the brass section jumps in to reinforce the marching tempo, you get a colorful collage of separation and several vivid layers of instruments despite a huge wall of sound. The up tempo rhythms and progressions seem to just float in the air and fill your listening room with impressive scope and clarity. Makes you want to pull out your Sabre Laser and hunt down Darth Vader!
Final Thoughts
I greatly enjoyed my time with the MIT SL-Matrix50 interconnects and SL-Matrix90 speaker cable. It has me rethinking all my prior audiophile prejudices and stereotypes. Component matching and synergy are still critical to the success of any system. With that in mind, and when considering changes or upgrades, these products should without question be on your audition list. Definitely a bench mark to compare against all others. Robert S. Youman

ZogSports is the co-ed recreational league that delivers the best mix of sports and social.
The typical Zogger is a young professional in his/her 20s to early 40s. Some of our participants played sports in college while others have no sports experience, aside from a vague recollection of playing hopscotch in elementary school.
People play ZogSports because they want to participate in something fun, convenient and social. We have multiple skill levels in every league, so regardless of your sports aptitude, we'll place you with the right people to ensure you have a great time hanging out, being active and giving back.
Due to our weekly post-game happy hours, participants must be at least 21 years old.
There is no age maximum, but we expect all of our participants to be young at heart, or at least have functional knees.
It sucks to feel like you're not "good enough" to participate. At ZogSports, we promise that will never be an issue! Thanks to our four different levels of play (Extremely Casual, Casual, Sorta Players and Players) everyone can participate in any of our leagues.
If you have any other questions or concerns, drop us an email or contact a League Manager.
There are four different levels of play: Extremely Casual, Casual, Sorta Players and Players.
Extremely Casual: You're happy to give it your best shot, but you're really here to work your game at happy hour.
Casual: You have a drop of competitiveness in your blood and it'll show on the court. Whether you win or lose, you don't care, just as long as there's a rematch over a friendly game of flip cup.
High Casual: You want to have fun, you like the competition, but you're not quite ready to commit to "Sorta Players" yet.
Sorta Players: You love to play and you love to socialize. A perfect balance of sport and social.
Players: You're in it to win it. Whether you want a consistent time to ball every week or just want to stay in shape, we'll make sure that the competition is good enough to keep your skills fresh.
In fact, we require that you play immediately. Create an account, browse our leagues and get out there!
We'll wait…
Comparing ZogSports to the other leagues is like comparing oranges and bowling balls – both can roll, but one is a whole lot sweeter.
At ZogSports, our staff goes through intensive training to ensure that our games are run with consistent professionalism and fun.
Our staff is receptive to your feedback and comments. The #1 priority of ZogSports is to bring people together and create community while having fun. Every day, our team is working to achieve that goal.
All of our teams play for charity. It's about balancing a love for sport and being social with a desire to give back and improve our community.
It's no accident that we're the nation's largest co-ed, social sports league—play one season with us and we're confident you'll be convinced.
Contact a League Manager to find out if there are any games going on that you can check out to get a better feel for the league.
Plus, we occasionally offer one day tournaments and trial events which are a perfect way to experience ZogSports before committing to a full season.
ZogSports doesn't have an attendance policy, but we do encourage you to make as many games as you can. We create rosters large enough so that if a few people miss each game, the team will have enough players to play comfortably.
Remember, we want to make it easy for you to have fun, so if you have to miss a game or two, no sweat! Just make sure you let your team know ahead of time.
Your registration is not complete until we receive payment. We fill our leagues, trips and events on a first-paid basis, so most of our participants pay when they register.
If you are unable to pay during registration, your activity will be in "My Activities" in the "Unfinished Registrations" section and you can complete it the next time you sign in.
You can expect to receive more information via email before your team's scrimmage or first game.
In the meantime, start stretching and contact the League Manager if you have any questions!
We're excited to see you out there!
ZogSports leagues play at a variety of fields and gyms throughout the city. Your specific game locations will depend on the league in which you're registered. The fields/gyms are listed under "Game Locations" on the bottom of the activity page.
It should come as no surprise that field and gym space is scarce. With a high demand for limited space, we do the best we can to get the best playing locations in the city. Despite certain constraints which are out of our control (damn you waning daylight!), we are committed to providing you with the best fields and gyms possible so your ZogSports experience will be top notch.
Specific registration dates are posted about a month ahead of time, but in general registration opens up as follows:
Winter – Early November
Spring – Mid January
Summer – Mid April
Fall – Late July
Click the CHOOSE A SPORT in the header. Click on any sport and you'll see which leagues are open for registration.
You can send our staff your questions on every sport page.
If you register after a league fills up, you'll be placed on the waitlist. If a player drops out, or the league expands, we will invite waitlisted people to play, on a first-come, first-served basis.
To be placed on the waitlist, complete the registration process online. We will contact you when a spot becomes available.
Until our top-secret weather satellite is finished, we will continue to be powerless to the whims and fancies of the weather gods.
The postponement policy for inclement weather varies from sport to sport. For outdoor sports, we will play in almost any weather except a hurricane or lightning or if the particular facility does not allow us to play. In the event of dangerous conditions, cancellations will be posted on our weather alert page on our homepage.
The Weather Alert Hotline (in the website footer) can provide you with an updated rainout status.
Owning a ZogSports t-shirt is a rite of passage. Every member of your team will receive a ZogSports t-shirt in your team's color. One representative from your team needs to come pick up your shirts during designated days and times, which will be emailed to you by the League Manager.
You can find our office location in the website footer.
At least a week before your season begins, we will post the rosters and send you an email reminder.
To view your teammates' contact information, log in to your ZogSports account, click MY ACTIVITIES, and then click TEAM from the drop down menu. When you find your team, click on TEAM DETAILS to see your roster.
We recommend starting a team email chain to get to know each other, take a head count for the first game and figure out who will pick up the team shirts.
You will need to create an account to registering for a league or trip and to sign the waiver. Plus, your schedules and team roster are only accessible by signing in.
You can create an account with the Create an Account link at the top of the page (top right), or you will be prompted to create an account when you register for your first ZogSports league.
To see your registrations: Log in, click MY ACTIVITIES in the header and then select TEAM from the dropdown menu.
If you don't see your team, then most likely your captain signed you up under a different email address than the one you used to create your account. Check with your captain and then if you need to merge accounts, you can do that in your profile (hover over your name in the header and select Profile).
Not the issue? Get in touch with us.
See above on how to edit account information. After you sign in to your account and change your primary email, it will become the new email user name you use to sign in to your ZogSports account.
Your password will stay the same (unless you change that too).
At some point, you (or one of your captains) entered more than one email address for you. In order to merge your multiple email accounts into one primary account, please follow these step by step instructions. All of your previous and current activities will still be visible.
Log into the ZogSports account that you would like to be your primary account
Click your name and select "Profile" from the dropdown.
Click edit in the section above your contact information.
On the bottom of the page, there will be a place to add the alternate email addresses that you would like to merge into your primary account. Add them, and click "Update."
You will then receive an email to the address that you would no longer like to be your primary account. Click the link in the email, which will re-route you back to your ZogSports account page. Confirm that you would like to merge the accounts by clicking the appropriate link.
If the account(s) you would like to merge is no longer an active email address, please send us an email with the subject line "Merge Multiple Email Addresses"
Crack open a cold one and Zog on!
ZogSports has negotiated deals with our official happy hour bars so that 100% of the bar donations go towards our end of season charity awards. Therefore, the more you eat and drink at that bar, the more we can donate at the season's end. Plus, our official happy hour bars have weekly drink specials for ZogSports teams.
If you go to another bar, you won't be contributing to the charity pool, you won't get the drink specials and you won't get the chance to meet other ZogSports teams! It would pretty much be the worst decision of your life.
"Fun is certainly more important than ability, but the competitive spirit has been known to kick in."
"Aside from being extremely fun, the fitness benefits are at the top of a long list of reasons to get on the roster."
The chance to contribute to charities gives you something to play for other than the love of the sport.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced that the University of Maine Center on Aging and the Portland State University Center for Urban Studies are the winners of its Building Healthy Communities for Active Aging: Training and Demonstration Projects grant competition. Each university program has won a grant of $100,000 for programs that seek to improve the quality of life of older residents through community planning and strategies that support active aging and smart growth.
The University of Maine Center on Aging won the training grant for its proposal of a Maine Senior Environmental Leadership Corps, which would provide older adults interested in learning about smart growth and in influencing smart growth in their communities with leadership and civic engagement training that focuses specially on environmental stewardship and smart growth planning. Under the program, elders will be nominated as delegates to represent their geographic regions at a statewide summit for older adults focused on forward-thinking environmental planning to improve the environment and the health of citizens of all ages. Delegates will then use their acquired skills and knowledge to implement action plans within their communities, with support from the Center on Aging.
Portland State University's Center for Urban Studies won the demonstration grant for its proposal to prove the benefits of the Green Streets for Active Aging program. The project will build on the center's work in the area of green streets and active living by surveying residents in two neighborhoods with green street features and two control neighborhoods, conducting environmental assessments of the green street treatments, and analyzing housing values to demonstrate how green streets contribute to the well-being of communities, to the physical and mental health of older and younger adults, and to the overall environment and economy.

lol wsgud FV
Yeah I used to write King for about a month, didnt really throw it up anywhere. I read a lot of Stephen King, in no way do I think I'm a real "king" haha. But yeah I know of Taki 183. I just write Tak now cause he's a character in a Stephen King book.
Is there another KING I dont know about? I know its a toolish/toyish thing to write but I never heard of another KING. And idgaf if it sounds toyish, I used to write a bunch of random shit like "19" and "All Hail The Crimson King", both form The Dark Tower book series, so it just kind of fit.
Last edited by ven0m; 04-21-2012 at 05:09 PM.
That D and extension on the M are a no-go.
King or Tak. I haven't heard of an artist who Calls himself king, at least no one that wasn't a toy. Anyways ur shit is clean so props to that. On the king ur g is too small and doesn't fit well style wise. The Tak your K doesn't fit. Just too skinny. Top of the T looks bored also.
Tasty the oneliner is dope. Like how u did the LD. Couldn't shaped the L a bit more
Dank looks good, i would do something siff with the botto
Of the E, I'm not feeling the D. The M also seems a lil big
some of my first throw ups, just did some today and will try to get some pics tomorrow
Optik : DMA
Everything I post is somebody else's work. I have never been involved in any vandalism or destruction of property, and I assume no responsibility for what my posts may say.
Just finished this one, came out all right except for the e, in my opinion my e has been making me lose my flow. Might respell my name a bit.
Any tips/crits?

If you seriously want to get better you got a lot of work ahead. First off, don't waste your time coloring in anything for a while. Work on making your letter look better. Coloring is a waste of time and you should have got enough practice when you were a kid. Do simples. Practice keyboard style letters... It's harder than you would think. Try writting your name as simple as possable and maybe adding a shadow. If you. An do that and make all the letters the same size and paportions then your on track. If you can't do that, then you better pracites lots.
The only way to get better is to fill pages and pages of your name over and over. Insted of coloring maybe just outline it with marker. Once you have a basic start it will be easier to build your own style that looks dope, good luck.
Tried to keep it simple and straight letter. Thoughts?
A solid fill would be cool. lol. Relax when you paint, if you have enough time to do that random line fill, you can do a solid fill.
Jes - try finding some chill walls. you look rushed
seldom - try tweaking your D a bit. and if you make the extension on the M bigger it might flow better

My house is 7 years old and in a few of the rooms the drywall is starting to show "black lines" where the studs are and also the truss studs on the gable end. My wife used a magic eraser and rubbed it and the lines will clean up but I'm not sure if this is dust settling and if so why just on the studs? or if it is a more serious problem. Any thoughts? Is it just time to repaint? thanks ..By the way the walls are finished in knockdown
Post a close up photo in case its mould.
I took a picture but you can't see the problem in the pictures. The lines are not real dark but you can definately see them
It's not mold. It's a common phenomenom. The studs are colder because they conduct heat better. I can't explain the physics but dust particulates favorably accumulate on the colder surface producing the stripes. If you burn candles or a fireplace you'll get the stripes faster and darker.
Best solution is more insulation in the attic that covers the tops of the ceiling joists.
There's no real solution but painting the walls regularly will cover up the stripes.
Thank you all for your replies, it's a load off my mind to know that this is fairly common

Jokers in the real office are no laughing matter
By Charlie Breslin
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - The office joker, a traditional workplace mainstay, may be on the way out, according to a new report identifying eight key workplace personalities.
The 'T-Mobile Workplace Motivation Report', authored by leading business psychologist Honey Langcaster-James reveals that despite the recent financial doom and gloom David Brent-style office jokers are no laughing matter when it comes to motivating a disheartened workplace.
This is bad news for those who fall under the report's Joker category, as 15 percent of those interviewed said that they found constant gag-cracking -- by people similar to the fictional Brent in the BBC television comedy series "The Office" -- to actually have a de-motivating influence in the workplace.
On the contrary, workers are turning to go-getting "Cheerleader" types to raise office morale, with more than a quarter of those interviewed saying that the 'can-do' attitude of this type of worker was a beneficial and motivational influence in the workplace.
The report concludes that a third of British workers identified themselves as a down-to-earth, pragmatic "Realist" type, likened to straight-talking British entrepreneur Sir Alan Sugar, characterized by their black and white thinking and sarcastic, dry sense of humor.
The report identifies the eight most common workplace personalities ranging from the nurturing and approachable "Mother Hen," always ready with advice and a shoulder to cry on, to the laid back, unflappable "Dude," whose ability to remain unflustered has a calming influence in a stressed-out workplace.
Other personality types include the socially connected "Link," who believes it's not what you know but who you know, the creative and resourceful "Innovator," and the fastidious, technically minded "Geek."
"The trick is to identify which profile most closely fits your own personality and to see if it is affecting the way you work and how you interact with colleagues," Langcaster-James said. Continued...

Essential tips for Morocco
Tips & articles
Moroccans are famously hospitable and love showing visitors their country. You'll meet plenty of friendly folk who'll ease your path, but these tips will make your trip even easier.
- Go in spring when lots of Morocco is lush and green. Don't underestimate the extremes of summer and winter - they can be brutal. Ramadan is an interesting time to travel, but be aware that many restaurants and cafes will be shut during the day. In 2011, Ramadan begins on 1 August and finishes on 30 August. The dates change from year to year, so check it out online (www.when-is.com/ramadan.asp) before you go.
- A few words of basic Arabic will take you a long way. Try es salaam alaykum (hello, literally 'peace be upon you'), 'afak (please - it has a glottal stop before it, like the sound between the vowels in 'uh-oh'. If you're talking to a woman it's 'afik; to a group, say 'afakum) and shukran bezzef (thank you very much) for starters.
- Stay in a riad - a traditional Moroccan house built around an internal garden. Marrakesh, Fes and Essaouria are classic riad destinations. Check out Lonely Planet Hotels & Hostels for recommendations.
- Load up your pockets with small change. Tipping is an integral part of Moroccan life, and a few dirham for a service willingly rendered can make life a lot easier. Tipping between 5% and 10% of a restaurant bill is appropriate. Also tip taxis, guides and small boys who help you find your way out of the complex maze of streets in the old parts of town.
- Don't engage a faux guide (false guide) for the day. They're illegal. Engage an official tourist guide through a tourist office instead.
- Petit and grand taxis are a great way to get around, but be prepared to wait - grand taxis won't leave until all six cramped places are full. If you're a woman travelling alone in a grand taxi, it's a good idea to buy the two places in front for yourself.
- Treat bargaining in souks as a friendly game. It's an intrinsic part of the culture and is always expected of you, so just ignore the first price a merchant puts forward.
- If you're offered a mint tea by a local, sit down to enjoy. Mint tea is the hallmark of Moroccan hospitality, and it's impolite to refuse it. A sit-down tea session takes about half an hour.
- If you're a woman travelling alone, try to ignore unwanted attention. You'll hear cries of gazelle! and perhaps even get the odd marriage proposal, but the best thing to do is to avoid eye contact. If it persists, threaten police involvement. It's surprisingly effective.
Don't head to Morocco without a copy of Lonely Planet's Morocco travel guide, full of tips, travel secrets and guides to local foods and customs that every traveller needs.

Our mission at The Fold is to help families find hope and healing in Christ. We believe that God's word is true and transforming and that the young people's lives will take on new meaning and direction as they begin to understand who God is and their God given value.
The Fold is not a program that proposes behavior modification as the solution. Instead, we believe that only God can transform our children's lives, our marriages and our families into the beautiful creations He designed them to be.
