Welcome the Nike Zoom Brave V to Nike iD! Sneaker News gave you a quick overview of the available options of the Zoom Brave V iD, but before you head to Nike iD now to make your own, check out this quick overview of the options as well as some sample mock-ups below! The interesting option for the Zoom Brave iD is the availability of a Safari print detail on the upper (often used for lifestyle and Nike Sportswear releases), which gives the Zoom Brave V a unique twist. Translucent outsoles are also available in a few colors, as an iD-able section on the medial heel of the shoe. The Zoom Brave V iD is set at $160 a pair, so let's see what dope colorways you can come up with!

FLORENCE – The Latta School Board of Trustees has established an endowed scholarship in the amount of $10,000 at Francis Marion University. The scholarship will benefit students majoring in the teacher education program who are graduates of Latta High School, and has been created to honor the school board's trustees.
"We are pleased to make this announcement as part of the FMU Teacher Education Fund," said Dr. John Kirby, superintendent of Dillon School District 3 (Latta area) schools.
"We whole-heartedly support FMU's teacher education program," he said. "With the teacher shortage we need to do everything possible to encourage good high school graduates to enter the teaching field. What better way for a school board to honor its trustees than by supporting the schools and growing our own teachers? It's a win-win situation for the trustees, the schools and our students."
"We are so proud to honor our trustees and to help our schools develop new teachers," Latta School Board chairperson Lou Ellen Bethea said. "The Latta schools have always enjoyed a very good relationship with FMU. We need good teachers for our students to be challenged to learn all they can and to become good, productive citizens in our society."
The FMU Teacher Education Fund was recently established by FMU alumni and friends to fund scholarships for students interested in teacher education programs. To date, the fund has raised $32,106 for teacher education scholarships. Participating school districts include Florence School District 2 (Pamplico schools) and Dillon County School District 3 (Latta schools).
The Financial Assistance Committee of FMU will award the scholarship to a student majoring in education or to a student seeking teaching certification. Students must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 or higher and be a graduate of Latta High School.
Preference will be given to an undergraduate student, but FMU graduate students who are current employees of the Latta School District may be considered if no undergraduate student qualifies for the scholarship.
"We greatly appreciate and are encouraged by the alumni support of the FMU Teacher Education program," Dr. Robert Sawyer, dean of the School of Education, Behavioral and Social Sciences, said. "We believe the scholarship support speaks to the high caliber of teaching professionals that FMU helps train."

In his first keynote speech since he took over the top job, Mr Salmond told the SNP conference in Inverness that he wanted Labour out of office.
The MP for Banff and Buchan said that he would do it by offering voters "a sense of vision".
He also said the prime minister should be impeached over the Iraq war.
Mr Salmond won the party's leadership election at the start of September after surprisingly putting himself forward following the summer departure of John Swinney.
In his first address to a major party event since the win, Mr Salmond told members that his return was prompted by "anger and frustration" at the failure of devolution.
He accused the Scottish Executive of dulling public expectations, a lack of vision and claimed it did not deliver on public services.
Mr Salmond told the annual conference: "I am back to end the managerial politics of this executive.
"They want to bore the Scottish people into submission. Scotland needs a positive vision and I am back to do that.
"Labour's time in government is coming to an end."
'Beyond the pale'
The SNP leader said Labour had been responsible for devolution becoming "one big let-down".
"If we are to replace Labour as the government of Scotland in 2007 then we have to present principle where there is none and vision where now there is only vacuum," he told the conference.
"We have to make progress next year to win in 2007 and we have to win 2007 to move forward to independence.
Mr Salmond criticised Tony Blair over his decision to go to war in Iraq and claimed he was operating "beyond the pale of decency".
He told the conference: "This is not a question of this prime minister making a judgment call and just being wrong.
"It's not a matter of someone acting in good faith and making an honest mistake.
"This is a man who buried the information that was inconvenient, manipulated the intelligence that was convenient and entered into a secret pact with the
American president to go to war come what may."
'Drummed from office'
Mr Salmond said the prime minister should be "drummed from office", adding he "deserves to be impeached".
The SNP leader described impeachment as "a weapon of mass democracy - the final democratic deterrent against the abuse and misuses of executive power".
"We with others will present the case that he should be required to answer," Mr Salmond added.
"I believe that this prime minister now operates outside the currency of debate, beyond the pale of decency."

I purchased this small chef base refrigerator top for my restaurant in little italy. Our kitchen i is very small, im taking 20' x 10'. I use the chef base for cheeses and such, our over goes on top of this chafe base which is 40" wide. The is a great choice for a real heavy duty item. The design is good for my usage. The delivery was handled well. I now have this unit for about 18 months. I am happy with it and it is an important part of making my dished how i like them. This company has good people, and i like to be more successful with them. I am also writing this review because i am a returning customer, this time small 14" x 24" stainless steel wall shelf. The manufacturer of this chef base is universal coolers, i like them better than the other manufacturers / brands i have used, mainly because they are actually made in the united states. This small unit fit perfectly in our kitchen because we have such limited space. This unit also helped us save a lot of space on our line as well.The unit came up to temperature pretty fast. Overall happy with the products and service.

This small unit fit perfectly in our kitchen because we have such limited space. This unit also helped us save a lot of space on our line as well.The unit came up to temperature pretty fast. It was recommended to wait at least a day before putting food into it. However, it was at the proper temp within a couple hours.

I've been using this Leader chef base for two years now. I haven't had any problems out of it. It is being used on a food truck so it's a pretty extreme environment. The drawers remove easily for cleaning. I wish the temp adjustment was easier to reach (you have to remove the drawers) All in all a great product.

This chef base was a great purchase. This base is able to hold up to seven hundred pound of other equipment. I ordered the swivel casters which helped me move the item around much easier. Elite Restaurant Equipment also gave me FREE shipping. It was definitely worth it.

A new report shows human sex trafficking is a problem found in rural areas of Tennessee as well as urban.
Wednesday the TBI released a study on the geography of human trafficking in Tennessee. Researchers found sex trafficking cases were reported more often by social service workers than by law enforcement.
Knox County is among four counties that reported more than 100 sex trafficking cases involving minors.
Roane County reported between 26 and 100, and Sevier County reported between 16 and 25 cases.
READ: TBI human trafficking study
TBI researchers say children who live in poverty may be particularly at risk.
"Because of the increased awareness, the increased collaboration between non-governmental organizations, law enforcement, and government organizations we're just finding more victims. We're able to rescue more. So unfortunately the numbers are not going to go down. They're going to increase before they start going down," said Christi Wigle, former executive director for Community Coalition Against Human Trafficking.
Twelve new laws went into effect last July which target human trafficking.
If you suspect signs of human trafficking, call the Tennessee Human Trafficking Hotline at 855-558-6484.

Firstly, I would like to extend my most sincere thanks to those who have
contributed so much in making m0n0wall possible; while it is a truly
remarkable product with respect to its features alone, it is furthermore as
a thing of sheer beauty when taking into account its elegant, and efficent,
design and execution.
Second, as the 'search' functionality of the m0n0wall list does seem a bit
lacking, I would like to apologize in advance if my question has been asked
before, however, I have not been able to find anything definitive otherwise.
Earlier this week, I opted to give 1.2b8 a go, and, due to its various
positives over IPSec, I've recently taken a shot at setting up OpenVPN...
only to find that, while I've gotten my connection *working*, and can send
data over it (TUN or TAP) with no problems, it seems that I am unable to
take advantage one positive I had most-eagerly been looking forward to in
OVPN: bridging between the tunnel clients, and the local subnets attached to
the OVPN server.
As I understand it, in order to enable bridging, OVPN normally takes an
additional directive in the server-side configuration file, along with, at
least in FBSD, a couple of sysctl commands which configure the bridge
interface mappings. That said, there are no options on the 'OpenVPN'
configuration page for this functionality, nor, at least, according to the
latest config.xml reference on the m0n0wall site, are there any 'hidden'
configuration options for this. I've also tried navigating to the
'interfaces_opt.php?index=2' page and enabling bridging there, however, this
did not work, nor did it seem an intended operation of this page.
So, my questions are: is OpenVPN bridging supported in 1.2b8? And, if not,
is this a feature that will potentially be supported in the near future?
Barring that, are there at least any options I can put into config.xml in
order to specify *just* my own custom routes? I want to route between the
OVPN and LAN subnets, however I *don't* want to redirect my client system's
default gateway to run over the VPN, and I *don't* want to manually change
my client system's routing table each time I connect to the VPN.
So that's it... Thanks for any help you have to offer; I understand there
are a lot of other things for everyone to keep track of, so I really do
appreciate it!

A Renewed Push for Paid Sick Leave Amidst Severe Flu Season
While staying home MAY be the best course of action when it comes to the flu, it's not a viable option for all New Yorkers.
And as Governor Cuomo declares a public health emergency because of the severity of this flu season, City Councilmember Gale Brewer is emphasizing the importance of paid sick days for more workers in New York City. She is sponsoring a bill that would require employers to provide time off for ill employees.
Brewer says the bill would provide five paid sick days for businesses of more than five employees. "And you take it or lose it during the year. And it doesn't kick in until after some months after you've started your job," she added.
Businesses with five employees or less would not be required to pay ill workers for sick days, but they also couldn't fire them for not working when they are under the weather.
"People really do not take time off if they're sick," Brewer says, "because of lack of pay, needing to pay the rent, and because they're fearful of getting fired."
The Councilmember says paid sick days would prevent people from going to work and school only to infect co-workers and classmates, causing further spread of sickness.
Brewer says that the problem is exacerbated when parents can't afford to lose a day's pay to stay home and care for sick children, so they send them off to school sick.
"I'm sure right now as we speak kids are going to school sick. Their parents cannot take a day off," said the Councilmember.
Councilmember Brewer noted that her bill has widespread support from healthcare professionals. She says that emergency room staff report that they often treat flu patients who never return for follow-up care because they don't have paid sick leave.
A hearing on the bill was scheduled for last fall but was delayed because of Sandy. Brewer says she has been assured by City Council Speaker's Christine Quinn's office that the bill will receive a hearing soon.
Both the Speaker and Mayor Bloomberg have spoken out against the bill in the past, saying it could hurt businesses.

Alex Smith is scheduled to be a free agent this year, but the signs continue to grow that he'll be back with the 49ers.
Matt Maiocco of Comcast Bay Area reports Smith and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh have met several times face-to-face. They've even thrown the ball around on the team's practice field to break the ice and work on some fundamentals.
(Working on fundamentals on the field in February. Wouldn't that violate the CBA?)
"I've had a couple meetings with him," Harbaugh said. "It's been good. And I look forward to continuing that [this week] when he's back in town."

Chancellor Blaine Favel: An advocate for inclusion and opportunity
By Beverly Fast
Blaine Favel (BEd'87, LLD'12) made history this year when he was named the University of Saskatchewan's first Aboriginal chancellor.
The official duties of chancellor include presiding over convocation ceremonies, conferring degrees, chairing Senate meetings and sitting as a member of the U of S Board of Governors. But it's also an opportunity to champion a university that, according to Favel, is making a difference in the world.
"This is one of the finest institutions in the country," he said. "We're leaders in agriculture and science. We're leaders in Aboriginal engagement and scholarship. We've got the synchrotron, the cyclotron, the Global Institute for Food Security, the Global Institute for Water Security. I see myself working closely with the university to grow in all these areas."
And so, in addition to his day job as president and CEO of Calgary-based One Earth Oil and Gas Inc., Favel has been familiarizing himself with the university's vision and goals, its signature areas, recent achievements—all the things that have changed since his days as an undergraduate student.
"My experience as an undergrad at the U of S was nothing but good times. I was fortunate in that I went to school with six of my cousins. We played sports—soccer and volleyball—so I had a very strong sense of community. I had a great time, and I made a lot of friends that I cherish to this day."
The tough part was deciding what he wanted to do. Favel was enrolled in the Indian Teacher Education Program (ITEP) and on track to becoming a physical education teacher when he began considering a career in law. "In that sense, my undergraduate years were a learning process to understand where I wanted to be at the end of my academic career," he said.
He graduated with his bachelor of education, but went on to complete a law degree at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont. He followed that up with an MBA at the Harvard Graduate School of Business—the first Aboriginal Canadian to do so.
Favel has been the "first Aboriginal" to do many things, yet he's not a man who is comfortable wearing labels. This reluctance reflects a life- long focus on inclusion. He is deeply interested in advancing the Aboriginal community, and his work over the past 25 years speaks to that commitment. So while he acknowledges the significance of his appointment as the first Aboriginal chancellor in the university's 106- year history, he's clear that, "I'm the chancellor for the whole university, Aboriginal and non- Aboriginal."

Favel grew up on the Poundmaker Cree Nation, located near Cutknife, Sask. His mother, Lucy, was a community health nurse; his father, Henry, was a rancher and band chief. In the early 1990s, Favel followed in his father's footsteps when he was elected chief. One of the highlights of his term was the introduction of sentencing circles, the first community-based justice program to be established on a First Nation reserve in Canada.
He moved on to a four-year tenure as grand chief of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, where he was instrumental in establishing the First Nations Bank of Canada, Canada's only Aboriginal-controlled bank, and the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA), Canada's first Indian gaming organization.
In 1998, Favel moved from local to international issues when Prime Minister Jean Chretien appointed him counsellor on international indigenous issues. He also served as special advisor to Phil Fontaine during Fontaine's long tenure as national chief of the Assembly of First Nations.
It was Fontaine who suggested Favel when the Toronto-based Sprott Resource Group was looking to create resource-based investment opportunities with Aboriginal communities. The project matched Favel's own focus on creating opportunities for Aboriginal communities to participate in Canada's growth and prosperity.
In 2008, Favel was named CEO of One Earth Resources, an investment company that looks specifically at resource development and capacity building in First Nations communities across Canada.
A year later, he helped launch One Earth Farms, an innovative twist on corporate farming that is building agricultural capacity in First Nations communities across the prairies, while also making them equity owners in Canada's largest corporate farm.
He is playing a more hands-on role as president and CEO of One Earth Oil and Gas, creating resource opportunities in partnership with Aboriginal communities. Earlier this year, the company signed its first joint venture agreement to explore and develop heavy oil projects on Gift Lake Métis Settlement lands in Alberta's Peace River region.
With his business career moving in new directions, Favel's relationship with the U of S has come full circle. In 2012, the university awarded him an honorary doctor of laws for his contributions to scholarship, education, public service and the Canadian public good.
As chancellor, he has an opportunity to be an ambassador for the university and the Aboriginal community. Asked in a Globe and Mail interview what his appointment said to the people of Canada, and to First Nations in particular, he said, "I think it is a very positive signal to the Aboriginal community that the university takes their issues and their interests to heart and it is sincerely advocating for them and will continue to work hard for them … I think what it says to Canada is that it speaks to the best values of Canadians. I think Canadians rightly perceive themselves as being fair-minded and generous in spirit and that everyone has the chance to advance in this country."

First Wins And Clean Sweeps The Story At Winton

First Wins And Clean Sweeps The Story At Winton
IN RACES WHERE passing opportunities were at a premium, Queenslander Jordan Lloyd has added his name to the illustrious list of Australian Formula Ford round winners today at the Shannons Australian Motor Racing Nationals by racing his way to the front.
Lloyd won two races in the ultra-competitive Formula Ford series to secure his maiden victory as six national categories offered a mix of dominating performances and highly competitive racing during round four of the Shannons Nationals, at Winton Motor Raceway.
Ryan Simpson continued his dominant ways in the Kumho V8 Touring Cars while Fraser Ross had to fight all the way to score a home-turf round win in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge presented by Pirelli.
A blinding start from the second row of the grid was the key factor in helping the Toowoomba-based Lloyd win his first ever round of the Australian Formula Ford series.
The BF Racing driver started race two on Sunday morning from third placeâ by virtue of his race one result on Saturday â but flew from the line and passed James Golding and race one winner Thomas Randle on the run into turn one.
That move was key in giving him track position during a tense day of racing where the close nature of the field and Wintonâs twisty layout left overtaking opportunities at a premium.
Lloyd won race two and backed that performance up with victory in the third race to seal his maiden round victory.
A trio of second-place finishes across the three races saw James Golding second for the round with Randleâs race one victory helping him score the final podium position after scoring a pair of thirds on Sunday.
Cameron Walters won the Kent class for Formula Ford 1600 cars ahead of James Garley and Jimmy Bailey. Formula Ford will now enjoy a two month break before returning to action during round six of the Shannons Nationals at Queensland Raceway, in August.
Travis Lindorff won the Dial Before You Dig Saloon Car Challenge, backing up his race one victory on Saturday with another commanding performance in Sundayâs 30-lapper.
The Holden driver led from the start and emerged back in front following the compulsory pit stops and was never headed from there, taking a 1.1 second victory over Gavin Ross with Shawn Jamieson third â the top three cars covered by less than three seconds at the line in the safety-car free race.
Lindorff won the round ahead of Gavin Ross with Luke Westall grabed third overall and ended the day as the leading Ford driver.
The next round of the Dial Before You Dig Australian Super Six Touring Car Series will be held at Queensland Raceway with the Shannons Nationals, in August.
Ryan Simpson continued on his merry way to dominating the Kumho V8 Touring Cars Series this year as he took his second consecutive round âclean sweepâ this year.
Simpson dominated the first round at Mallala in April and the only time he looked like being headed during the three races at Winton was on the run to the first corner â after that the ex-Triple Eight Falcon was untroubled en route to victory.
Justin Ruggier finished second in all three races this weekend and secured second overall with Matt Chahda bouncing back from a difficult start to the weekend to score third in the final race.
The Kumho V8âs return to action at Queensland Raceway this August, with all the Winton action set to be covered in a one-hour special on SPEED TV Australia in coming weeks.
While Simpson was relatively unchallenged in executing his clean sweep of the V8 Touring Cars, Fraser Ross certainly didnât have it all his own way attempting to do the same in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge presented by Pirelli.
Ross, looking to win at his home track for the first time, had to survive nearly two-thirds of race two being held under Safety Car before he could claim victory.
He then had to spend seven of the scheduled ten-lap duration behind season-long rival John Goodacre as the pair staged a thrilling battle for the race lead. Goodacre started second in both of todayâs races however his fast-starting ability saw him take the lead early in both.
In race three he doggedly held out Ross for most of the race before the championship leader could finally squeeze his way through and grab the win. Goodacre finished second for the round with Peter Fitzgerald third
Tim Miles won the B class, for older model 997 GT3 Cup Cars, ahead of Andrew Macpherson and Matt Cambell.
Tony Ricciardello dominated proceedings in the Kerrick Sports Sedan National Series after an early challenge from bitter rival Darren Hossack ended after the first race.
The long warring pair staged another epic duel in race one however fuel pressure issues ruled Hossackâs Audi out of both races two and three â leaving Ricciardelloâs Alfa mostly unchallenged en route to another trio of race victories.
Stephen Tamasi finished second for the round and reigning champion Bruce Banks returned to the podium in third.
Roger IâAnson won his second Australian Sports Racer Series round in a row, backing up his performance on home turf at Mallala with another trio of wins at Winton, across the border.
Stohr racer Adam Proctor recovered from an off in race one to score second for the round with Aaron Steer third in his West.
The next round of the Shannons Australian Motor Racing Nationals will see the series move to New South Wales for the first time this year, Round 5 of the series at Sydney Motorsport Park to feature the Australian four-hour for the Australian Manufacturers Championship, The Radical Australia Cup First Neon 250, the third round of the Australian Sports Racer series plus the Australian Superkart championship.

Will & Jaden Smith's East and West Coast Nights Out
On opposite coasts, Smith boys Will and Jaden each enjoyed a night out on the town.
Decked out in Pittsburgh Pirate colors and baseball cap, the elder Smith went to Prime 112 in South Beach, Miami for a steak. Outside, he was joined by Michael Jordan's girlfriend, while the Chicago Bulls legend made a sneaky exit.
Meanwhile in Calabasas, California, his 14-year-old son took in a movie. The "Karate Kid" star wore leopard print pants and a hooded sweatshirt as he emerged from "Total Recall" with some pals.
Though the "Independence Day" actor's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith was absent, the actress insisted in the September issue of Essence that any divorce rumors are untrue.
When asked, the 40-year-old mother of two explained, "It seems like that happens at least once a year, or at least once every two years. It's rumored that we're getting a divorce. But no. We're not getting a divorce. Where am I gonna go? Where am I going to go? That's my boo. It's like he's another part of me."

Christy Clark, John Furlong, Wally Oppal, and Carole Taylor among those who will roast Bill Good
A who's who of B.C. elites will poke fun at former CKNW Radio talk-show host Bill Good.
The Vancouver Board of Trade's president and CEO, Iain Black, will emcee the roast on September 25.
The speakers' list includes Premier Christy Clark, billionaire Jimmy Pattison, former Vanoc CEO John Furlong, ex–attorney general and former B.C. Court of Appeal justice Wally Oppal, former finance minister and ex-SFU chancellor Carole Taylor, and B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair.
It will be the first time that Furlong has shared the podium with a B.C. premier since he announced in September 2012 that he was suing the Georgia Straight over an article by freelance writer Laura Robinson.
Furlong later filed a notice of discontinuance against the Straight but is continuing his defamation suit against Robinson. She has countersued and the case could go to trial in 2015.
Broadcasters Rick Cluff, Mike Killeen, and Squire Barnes are also expected to throw a few barbs in the direction of Good, who spent five decades in radio and television before retiring this summer.

The ruling class will be pulling their punches on the night, and why not? The guest of honour spent his career pulling his when it came to Liberal scandals. Furlong can thank Good for never asking hard-hitting questions about the Olympics or the Convention Centre cost over-run. And Christy Clark owes him an enormous debt of gratitude for running interference for her on the BC Rail sell-out.

how does one obtain a ticket to the Bill Good Roast ?
Sep 25, 2014 at 7:32pm
I am the tool who commented earlier! I am against everything! So I decided to post against my cynical post above. What kind of donkey asshole criticizes people who have just retired? Guys like me, that's who!
So here's to being against being against everything, and for taking a minute to appreciate human beings, regardless of how we may feel about how they performed in a certain role.
Oct 16, 2014 at 3:57pm
This is the real (original) Stephen here, not the imposter who took me to task for having the audacity to diss Bill Good on the occasion of his retirement.
Contrary to what my namesake suggested, I'm not against everything. When it comes to journalism, I'm in favour of courageous reporters who expose corruption and incompetence, both in government and private industry, and who take it to be their mission "to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted." Nowadays such journalists are few and far between--mainly free-lancers published in alternative media. In contrast, corporate journos like Bill Good can always be counted on to turn a blind eye to Liberal corruption while inveighing against every NDP misdemeanour and running press releases for the Fraser Institute and other right-wing think tanks.

Optoma HD73 Darkchip 3DLP Home Theater Projector
he bottom of the projector has 4 small recessed screw recepticles for attaching a ceiling mount. Optoma offers one for the HD73, or you can use one of many universal mounts on the market. As Optoma chose small (metric, I believe) threading, make sure, if you order a 3rd party mount confirm that it has the right sized screws for the HD73.
That takes us, finally to the back of the projector, where all the inputs are located. Facing the rear of the projector, from the left:
Click to enlarge. SO close
- A 12 volt trigger for operating motorized screens
- A USB service port
- An RS-232 command and control port
- S-video input
- Composite video
- A component video input (Red, Green, and Blue RCA jack inputs)
- A DVI-I connector, which can handle a digital input, or analog computer
- A separate HDMI digital connector
- There is also the recepticle for the AC power cord and the master (hard wired) power switch
- Lastly, a Kennsington lock slot (for physical security).
Click to enlarge. SO close
Review continues below this advertisement:
Of important note, the HD73 offers two digital inputs, a real plus for many users. Of course if you do plan to also hook up your computer, you will need the DVI-I for that. Note, you can buy a HDMI or DVI switch box, but they tend to cost about $250 or more at this time.
The HD72 vents hot air straight out the left side of the projector from vents mounted near the rear. Theoretically you could mount the projector on a rear shelf, but two things make that unlikely: First, the limited range of the zoom, makes it unlikely that most people will find that they can position the projector on a rear shelf in most rooms. Secondly, even if the distance works, the projector needs to be positioned below the bottom of the screen, or above the top of the screen. Below the bottom, shooting across the entire length of the room from a low angle probably won't work, with couches, chairs, etc. being in the way. Mounting up high, would require the projector to be inverted (as with a ceiling mount). That means either putting up a shelf and mounting below it, or building a cradle. If were to build a cradle, it would be extremely important to make sure you compensate for the lost ventilation. As I said, not very practical.
Time to get to the "good stuff" – the Optoma HD73 DLP home theater projectors image quality.

Effective January 1, 2016 Direct Point
Chaining of Dogs or the tethering of dogs to a stationary object is
prohibited per Ordinance 2015-974 adopted on August 13, 2015 regarding
amendment to Title 3 Chapter 2, Dogs and Cats.
For specific details on allowable
restraint options as stated in the Ordinance please
click here or contact Animal
Control at 684-6552.
In addition a complete
copy of the Ordinance is available at City Hall.
Ordinance 2015-974
Pet Adoption Information
The Animal Control Section
consists of certified animal control officers. They are
responsible for responding to all incoming calls of lost, stray,
vicious, and injured animals.
While most of the calls are for domestic
animals, there are calls from time to time for animals running
of a more
exotic nature. There have even been a few calls for cows,
horses, pigs, and turkeys.
The animal control officers patrol the city
enforcing City ordinances and State laws related to animal control. The
animal control officers also participate in the community by providing
animal safety talks to children throughout the city.
Our primary goal is the prevention and eradication
of rabies by education of the public
concerning local and state laws,
promoting animal owner responsibility, and by protecting the public
from stray or dangerous animals.
Our secondary goal is to provide service to the
public and animals through impound of stray animals and other animal
related calls, issuing warnings or citations as necessary,
investigation and prosecution of animal cruelty and abuse cases,
continued advanced education and training for Animal Care and Control
officers, and to strive toward the ultimate goal of elimination of the
need to euphemize healthy, surplus and unwanted animals.
Here's How You Can Help
Keep your pet confined on
your property by fence, rope, chain, kennel or on a leash. Have your dogs and cats
vaccinated at a licensed veterinarian. This will prevent your pet from becoming infected with any deadly and contagious disease.

I just got back to the city from spending some time in Newport, Rhode Island with my son Cyrus. I spent every summer of my youth in Newport with my family, and it is so wonderful to visit each summer with my son. I get to re-live some wonderful memories, and Cyrus and I get to create some new memories as well. Things I love about Newport: the roaring surf, beautiful cliffs, Rosa Rugosa growing in the garden, long days at the beach with our cousins, friends and their kids, and dinners at the Candy Store (where I had my first job). Here are some pictures from our most recent trip!

Back to August 2012 Ed Reporter
Book Review
The Higher Education Bubble, Glenn Harlan Reynolds, Encounter Books, 2012, $5.99.
As former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once quipped, the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money. Today's colleges and universities are facing the same problem. If Glenn Reynolds is right, many of these institutions will never recover from what he believes is an inevitable loss of student dollars.
Reynolds, a popular blogger and a law professor at the University of Tennessee, argues in The Higher Education Bubble that colleges and universities are a part of a still-inflating financial bubble that must inevitably burst, in much the same way that the housing bubble burst a few years ago. "Bubbles form when too many people expect values to go up forever," he writes. "Bubbles burst when there are no longer enough excessively optimistic and ignorant folks to fuel them. And there are signs that this is beginning to happen already where education is concerned… bubbles burst when people catch on, and there's some evidence that people are beginning to catch on."
Colleges and Universities have seen a steady influx of federal student loan money for years. It's easy to borrow federally-backed money to pay for college. It's so easy, in fact, that schools have increased tuitions for decades without suffering from a corresponding drop in enrollment. But as prices and enrollments have increased, the quality of education offered has plummeted — and too many of today's unemployed graduates owe huge sums for degrees that are worth very little.
This can't continue forever, and students are already looking for alternatives. For example, the number of students taking the LSAT, a law school admissions test, has fallen 25% in just two years.
It's only a matter of time, argues Reynolds, before scores of students decide to take advantage of cheap online education, apprenticeships, or trade schools rather than risk going into debt during times of high unemployment. Most universities have planned for dramatic tuition increases to continue forever, but student loan demand is beginning to soften as students realize that expensive degrees will not help them find jobs.
This bubble is not only financial, but also intellectual, as the proliferation of departments in subjects such as diversity and women's studies illustrates. "The higher education bubble isn't bursting because of a shortage of money," Reynolds explains. "It is bursting because of a shortage of value. The solution is to improve the product, not to increase the subsidy."

text: KARACHI - The Sindh government has decided to approach the federal government to transfer the property/land to the provincial government which left by the Hindus who migrated to India after partition, mostly fallen in the district Tharparkar, so that same can be distributed among the occupant farmers, having their names in the Khasra (record of cultivation) in the area. This was decided at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah, to mark the International Day of Minorities, which was attended by the PPP MNA Faryal Talpur and others at CM House on Monday. It was also decided that a bill will be tabled in the Sindh Assembly to pass an act to replace the word of scheduled cast in to Non-Muslims in the official correspondence to avoid sense of deprivations from minorities. It was decided that 5 per cent minorities quota for the government job would be implemented in letter and spirit. Qaim Ali Shah directed the Inspector General of Sindh Police to prepare foolproof security plan to protect the lives and prosperities of minorities. He formed a team headed by DIG Hyderabad Sanaullah Abbasi with SSP Matiari, Badin and other police officers for the arrest of culprits involved into the murder of two Hindu brothers in Umerkot. The CM said that substantial development funds had been earmarked this year especially for minorities and asked the minorities MPAs to submit their schemes to the deputy commissioners concerned without further delay. MNA Faryal Talpur directed that a delegation comprising PPP Public Representatives should visit the victim family of two Hindu brothers and assured that PPP to provide justice to them. He said that security to minority was very important, as he approved a schemes for installation of CCTV cameras at all important worship places at estimated cost of Rs220 million and has directed for recruitment of minority youths into Sindh Police. He said Rs423 million were utilised by the minorities for their development activates last financial year and substantial amount had also been earmarked this year as well. The chief minister said that at least 20 million would be made available to each division for development of minority's schemes. He said that district development committees had also been formed to identify the development schemes without any discrimination and to implement same from the total District Development Outlay of Rs25 billion. Meanwhile, leaders of the Minorities' Alliance of Pakistan Michael Javed, Chief Pattern of Pakistan Sikh Council Sardar Ramesh Singh, Bhero Lal Balani and Sardar Surn Singh while addressing a press conference wore the black bands on their arms to mark the protest against the injustices being meted out with the religious minorities. They also demanded that the religious minorities be given representation in the National Security Council. Religious minorities' leaders also demanded separate electoral system for the religious minorities, abolishing the joint electoral system.This news was published in The Nation newspaper.

The deadline to apply for the NI (National Insurance) Rebate is the 5th April 2010 so don't miss out on this opportunity to take control of your finances.
What is an NI Rebate?
Very few people are aware that the government gives us a choice as to where some of our NI contributions should go. Anyone who is resident in the UK and who pays NI can opt to rebate some of their contributions.
Why Claim your NI Rebate?
Should foreigners residing in the UK decide to return home, their NI contributions will remain in the state pension where they will not be able to touch their plans until the age of 68. Even worse, this benefit is frozen and doesn't accumulate growth with inflation i.e. over time the real value is lost.
For individuals planning to leave the UK in the future, transferring their NI contributions into their personal pensions will present far greater value. This will allow the invested money to grow as well as create increased flexibility to transfer the funds to different countries, and on the whole increase future wealth.
Claiming an NI Rebate is very straightforward. All you need do is click on the following link and follow the simple instructions on the website.
[polldaddy poll=2641085]
The ability to Contract out of the State Second Pension and have those contributions paid into your own personal pension – as suggested above – was stopped on 5 April 2012. This is something you can no longer do, as the Government looks to simplify the state pension to a single entitlement.

Alexandria resident Kristin Levine is the author of two children's books on interracial friendships in the historical South, a former teacher and the mother of two daughters. Kids can meet her at the Centreville Regional Library at 3 p.m. Monday.
How did you get started writing children's literature?
When I started out, I wanted to be a screenwriter. I went to American University and wrote a bunch of screenplays. They did well in contests, but when people in Hollywood would call me, they would say, "We love your screenplays, but we're a low-budget studio and we don't have kids; kids are hard to work with." So I realized my stories were better suited as novels.
Why do you write about interracial friendship?
I grew up in Alexandria, and the schools I went to were very diverse. There was some busing involved. I asked, "Why do I have to ride the bus?" And my parents told me, "This is really important. You can learn a lot from people who are different from you." And they were right.
How do you find time to write with kids?
That is the most challenging part of being a writer. I got really good at writing in short amounts of time. ... I learned that if someone went down for a nap, then I wrote. It was good for me to learn to write on demand and not worry about writer's block.
What's your next book about?
My next book is called "The Paper Boy," and it's about bullying. It's set in 1962, in a little town outside Chicago. It's about a boy who is bullied at home by his mom and is a bully at school. He ends up having to take over his sister's paper route, and through all the people he meets, he learns not to be a bully.

Tires touching on rear fender lip
Can anyone give me advice on what to do....
I recently purchased a set of Staggered Rennen wheels 20x8.5 FR and 20x10 rear from my friend who drives a 2003 E39 M5.
The wheels and tires fit perfectly on his car without any touching issues.
I own a 2000 540i6 M Sport and the wheels fit perfect in the front but the back touches on the inside lip.
I was told to roll the lip but comparing the two cars it looks as if his car sits about two inches higher in the back.
Is the wheel well bigger in the M5 than my car?
Is the suspension interchangeable on the two models?
Can I use M5 springs on my struts?
Are they the same?
I am wondering if I could use the M5 springs to raise the ride height as well as is the springs stiffer?
Thank you all for any advise given.
It looks really good and I will put posts on later
My advice: Have the fenders rolled.
But to answer one of your questions (as I'm not too sure on the others): Yes, the rear wheel wells on an M5 are bigger.
The m5 has different black plastic liners in the wheel well
What was said above. You can search this problem - it has been discussed.
Another issue you're having is that the said wheels are bigger than the biggest OEM wheel. The rear wheel you purchased has a width of 0.5" larger than OEM. Hopefully the offset is within spec. Why did your friend sell these wheels?
20's, really, why?
my friend sold it because he wanted to go back to the oem.I could have seen on the tire there were no rubbing marks.It looks prettycol though I just need to roll the lip
how did the CDV delete work?Im thinking about trying it.Which one did u do?
what size is this?
Cdv delete turns into into a normal car. Well worth it. And free.
Free?? what do u mean? Advise me please
Running 20's can be done on any E39, provided you get all the elements required to do so done correctly. Raising your car is not the right way, it'll look 'wrong'. You shouldn't interchange M5 springs/shocks with non M cars as they're differently rated - those who go ahead anyway tend to find the car sits too high at the front etc. 10.5 rear wheels work on an E39 and are within clearance and tolderances.
Have a look around here on some of the posts I've made about running 20's on an E39, to do it properly, you need to run low on coilovers and the design of the wheel is important as wheels with a deep lip blend in to the aesthetics and sizing of the car's looks much better than 'flat' faced/designed wheels.
You'll most likely need to roll your rear arches and perhaps even have them pulled by perhaps 5mm or so, it'll depend on the shape of the tyre shoulder you have/run into exactly how much.
Here on bimmerfest, you'll have more of the responses above as the views by most members is more of an 'oem' only level. 20's on an E39 and more importantly, done properly is in the realms of much higher levels of modifications and thus, other forums suit better where you'll get good information. Do have a look around online, speak to local reputable wheel/tyre specialists and bodyshops capable of doing this kind of work too.
Cheers, Dennis!
I am running staggered 20's on my e39 and they look great. I had to roll my fenders though and my car is lowered. As long as all aspects are proper they'll fit fine. 20x8.5 20ET 245/35r20 in front 20x10 25ET 275/30r20 in rear. I'm lowered on H&R springs and Koni adjustables.
See more info here in various fixes, to include M5 fender liners, fender lip rolling, and fender pulling.

Haiti; Bellamy & Bellamy The opening scenes of this episode appear to be ripped from the headlines of the Mark Schwartz and Christina-Maria Petrowski-Schwartz murder case. The married couple, both lawyers, were found shot to death in their Marine Park home in July 2008. At the time this episode aired, the crime remained unsolved. The episode may also be partially "ripped from the headlines" of Marie and Willie Pompee who smuggled a Haitian girl into the United States as a "restavek."

Several correspondents have asked me which candidate I back for this year's Student Assembly president, and I've been more than content to keep my hands out of this. As I commented on the yawping last time around:
For a government that manages to be at once self-important and utterly irrelevant, the elections for the most part amounted to an unpopularity contest for
's least-representative representatives. Dartmouth
Just so. And frankly I'd conclude that things have worsened, if that's humanly possible. The clutch of over-motivated careerists who dominate the S.A. go gamboling off with some eighty-grand of campus dues--that's more than most Americans earn a year, I'd add--and then devotes weeks to fantastically petty in-fighting over top-secret e-mail terminals. Come on.
But, for what it's worth,--I'd call Paul Heintz this year. In a most salient qualification, he's not associated with the S.A. Amazingly, this has led to the main violence of his opponents: he's not acceptable because he's never gotten bogged down in the
I don't think Heintz and I agree on a lick of politics; luckily, he's not standing for an actual political office. What's the worst he could do? Left-liberal programming on the new flat-screen monitors that are soon to replace our hopelessly old-fashioned bulletin-boards?
And there is more to life, thankfully, than just opinions. I know Heintz rather well and though we've often disagreed on much, I've always found him to be genial and gregarious, bright and intense and never dull. He is clearly part of Dartmouth's thriving culture of ideas. On the matters important to the enduring vitality of the College, Heintz is spot-on. That's it, you know.

Payday Loan Quick
Sometimes, we all need some help. If you truly need money and payday is often a week or two away, consider obtaining a payday loan. Although their public image just isn't great, payday advances can be nothing less than salvation for many cash-strapped borrowers. Keep reading to learn more information.
Hidden fees are extremely prevalent when dealing with Payday Loan Quick. You have no method of knowing what you're charged if you do not ask. Make sure the questions you have are clear and direct. Some people uncover that they owe in excess of they originally thought once you have a loan. Steer clear of this pitfall by looking into making sure to read each of the documents and asking all critical questions.
Never be dishonest over a loan application! You may be tempted for one reason or another, but it's illegal and could get you into trouble.
Many payday loan lenders will advertise that they can not reject your application due to your credit score. Many times, that is right. However, make sure you look into the interest rate, they're charging you. The interest rates vary according to your credit rating. If your credit score is bad, plan for a higher interest rate.
When determining if a payday loan meets your requirements, you have to know that the amount most payday advances will let you borrow just isn't too much. Typically, the most money you will get from a payday loan is about $1,000. It could be even lower if the income is not too high.
Are you having trouble paying your bills? Do you need to get a hold of some money right away, and never having to jump by way of a lot of hoops? If so, you might like to think about obtaining a payday loan. Before doing so though, browse the tips in the following paragraphs.
If you are considering getting a payday loan, ensure that you have a intend to get it paid off right away. The loan company will offer to "help you" and extend your loan, if you fail to pay it off right away. This extension costs you a fee, plus additional interest, so that it does nothing positive to suit your needs. However, it earns the borrowed funds company a good profit.
You must have an existing work history before you qualify to secure a payday loan. Many lenders will likely need to see proof a minimum of 3 months worth of employment before granting a loan. The lender in most cases require you to submit pay stubs for them as evidence of your valid work history.
There are several companies that you can use to obtain a payday loan. You may be in a situation in which you need money quickly, and feel like you don't have plenty of time for this. However, taking an hour out to research at the very least a dozen options can rapidly yield one with the lowest rate. Doing your research first could very well save you lots of money and keep from making a choice you are going to regret.
Before you sign up to get a payday loan, carefully consider the amount of money that you need. You should borrow only the amount of money that will be required by the short term, and that you will be able to pay back at the end of the phrase of the loan.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Sam Kikla went 4-for-8 with five runs scored and five RBIs and Eric Mull drove in four runs, helping 11th-ranked Cumberland split a doubleheader at 18th-ranked Auburn-Montgomery Sunday.
The Bulldogs (3-2) dropped the opener, 12-6, but Lebanon's Christian Jennings tossed the final two innings to post the save in a 7-6 game two triumph for CU.
Kikla was 3-for-5 with three runs scored and four RBIs in the opener, including a pair of home runs. The Malabar, Fla., native scored twice and drove in another run in the second contest.
Auburn-Montgomery (7-4) scored eight runs in the second inning in the first game to take control in a 12-6 victory. The Senators had the tying run on third in the third and sixth innings and had the leadoff man reach in the seventh in the second game but failed to capitalize.
Luke Whittaker (1-0) pitched in-and-out of trouble for the five-plus innings he tossed for the Bulldogs in the second game, picking up the victory by allowing five runs, one earned, on six hits. CU committed four errors in the contest, all of which led to AUM runs.
Jennings also had runners on base in both of his innings of work, including a two-out triple in the sixth where he stranded the runner at third and then the leadoff man in the seventh. But the freshman lefty induced a 6-4-3 doubleplay and then another groundout to post the save.
Saturday in Montgomery, Robert Post and Adam Sprague both tossed three-hit shutouts and leadoff hitter Sam Kikla scored five runs in the doubleheader, as Cumberland defeated Faulkner University, 6-0 and 15-0.
Eric Mull drove in seven runs in the twinbill, the first two wins of the season for the Bulldogs (2-1). CU won the second game in just five innings because of the 10-run rule.
Kikla, Mull, Matt Holliman, Max Kautz and Will Curry all collected two hits in the second game, while Kikla scored three times in the opener and Holliman drove in three runs with a bases-clearing double in a four-run second inning.
Post (1-0) tossed a three-hit shutout for CU, walking three and striking out five. Faulkner had at least one baserunner in the first six innings, but the Mt. Juliet Christian Academy product induced a pair of groundball doubleplays and the Eagles also lined into another twin-killing.
In the second contest, Holliman doubled down the leftfield line with one out in the first and scored on Mull's single to left. The Bulldogs added six runs in the second and eight more in the third, taking advantage of three Faulkner errors along the way.
In the second Max Kautz and Curry both singled and Blake Simmons walked to load the bases. Kikla drove home two runs with a single and Holliman followed with an RBI single of his own. Mull then belted the Bulldogs second home run of the season, a three-run shot, for a 7-0 CU advantage.
Kautz led off the third with a solo homer. Curry was hit, Kikla singled again and Holliman reached on a fielder's choice, loading the bases. Mull walked to force in a run and two more runs scored after a throwing error by Faulkner shortstop Austin Adams. A Kautz two-out walk forced in another run and Curry cleared the bases with a double to rightcenter for the final runs of the contest.
Sprague (1-0) walked two and struck out four in five innings of work, inducing eight ground ball outs. Again Faulkner had at least one baserunner in every inning but had only one reach second base.
In Friday's season-opener, Zack Diekmann hit a solo homer but 11th-ranked Cumberland managed just five hits in a 4-1 loss at 18th-ranked Auburn-Montgomery Friday in a game called after six innings because of rain.
AUM's Stephen Yates (3-0) picked up the win with six innings of work, walking two and striking out one while allowing the five hits and one run. Richard Timbrook (0-1), the CU starter, took the loss, giving up four runs, two earned, on eight hits in 4.1 innings. He walked four and did not strikeout a batter.
The Senators (6-1) scored once in the bottom of the first when leadoff batter Cody Shields singled in the middle of the infield and moved to third on Shane Moye's single through the leftside. Tanner Williams grounded into a 6-3 doubleplay, but Shields scored on the play for an early lead.
Cumberland opens the home schedule next weekend against Iowa Wesleyan, with doubleheaders on Saturday (12 Noon) and Sunday (12:30 p.m.).

i have light stretch marks on front of my arms and when i pull the skin tight they dissapear im looking into laser lipo because i know it tightens the skin but my questions is am i going to need a arm lift and if so can the scar be placed in arm pit area
Arm Lift or Laser Liposuction?
Doctor Answers 7
Stretch marks and arm lift
Arm lift vs arm liposuction
It's impossible to answer that question without seeing photos of your arms, but generally speaking, liposuction will not tighten upper arm skin. The only way to tighten loose upper arm skin is with an upper arm lift (brachioplasty), which usually leaves a scar on the inside of the arm from the armpit to the elbow. The length of the scar will depend on how much loose skin you have.
I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your situation in detail and I wish you all the best.
Arm Lift or Liposuction
Without photos and physical examination, it would not be possible to give you a definitive answer. If you have loose skin, then arm lift (brachioplasty) may be in order. Otherwise, liposuction may be more appropriate.

Surgical skin tightening of arms is long lasting
This is a great question that is often asked - from your description, the skin tightening that results from a surgical arm lift is foing to give the most improvement in your stretch marks and will be the most long lasting. The toning of skin from laser lipo is akin to shrink wrap and limited in the extent of improvement. As for the location of the incision, if you don't have alot of excess skin you may do well with an arm pit incision. At the time of your consultation and examination, your plastic surgeon will be able to make recommendations for the best result with the least amount of downtime. Good luck!
Arm Lift vs Lipo
It is impossible to give any recommendations without photos and a formal physical exam. If you have a lot of loose skin, then an arm lift may be needed. However, if excess skin is really not the primary issues, lipo may be an option as well.
Arm Lift or Laser lipo?
Thank you for your question.
Without examining you, it is difficult to give you good advice. The quality of the skin on the arm is very important when considering liposuction of the arm. You have to be very careful not to create a larger problem with sagging skin.
Please visit with well experienced plastic surgeons to get the best advice for your situation.
Best wishes.

Arm Liposuction
There is no true evidence that Laser Liposuction tightens the skin to a point that it is clinically visible. Arm skin, especially when there are stretch marks, is just not going to improve with liposuction. In fact, liposuction of arms should be dealt with great caution as the chance of irregularity and laxity of skin exists. So beware of liposuction of the arm unless you have excellent skin quality. Arm lift (Brachioplasty) is often a better choice for arm recontouring. Its true limitations is the scar.

Laws Broken with Bergdahl Prisoner Swap, GAO Says
WASHINGTON D.C. (Worthy News)-- The Government Accountabilty Office, a nonpartisan government watchdog agency, said that the Pentagon broke the law when it swapped five Taliban leaders for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl earlier this year, Fox News reported.
The Government Accountability Office, in a legal opinion issued at the request of congressional lawmakers, said the Defense Department violated the law by failing to notify key Capitol Hill committees at least 30 days in advance.
The GAO said the law in this case is "clear and unambiguous." The agency said that while the Defense Department defended the legality of the controversial swap, "in our view, DOD has dismissed the significance of the express language" in the law.
The report comes several months after the Obama administration released five senior Taliban members from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Bergdahl, who had disappeared in 2009. Under the exchange terms, the five Taliban are to remain in Qatar for a year. -- Source

Two of the nation's top economic policy makers have warned Australians not to overreact to slower growth in China and the sharpest plunge in gold prices in more than three decades.
Treasury secretary
Echoing these remarks, Reserve Bank of Australia assistant governor
The two officials were speaking at forum in Canberra on Tuesday organised by the Melbourne Institute following sharp declines on financial markets.
Gold plunged almost 10 per cent to $US1361.10 in New York on Tuesday after China said its economy grew at a slower than anticipated 7.7 per cent in the first quarter.
"In the broad picture, what happens in China is important to us, but people getting hung up over whether the number comes in at 7.8 per cent or 7.7 seems to be to be just downright silly," Dr Parkinson said.
Taking time out from budget preparations, he said it was important that people took a more holistic view of what was happening to Australia's biggest trade partner.
"From an Australian perspective, a China that's growing something in the sevens is a damn sight better for us in the long term than a China that's growing in the 12s," he said.
"In the 12s you're basically creating massive sets of problems over time . . . that gradually reinforce the risk that you get volatility in the future."
Speaking alongside Dr Parkinson, Dr Debelle said China's current growth rate was in line with official Australian expectations.
Dr Debelle took a shot at so-called gold bugs, or investors convinced that the price of the precious metal would continue to rise as reserve currencies such a the US dollar, Japanese yen and euro were weakened by low interest rates and quantitative easing.
This month's fall in the price of gold has been interpreted in some quarters as a positive indicator because it implies the risks of weak currencies and low inflation have passed, while others argue it is a harbinger of a broader market collapse.
"Gold bugs tend to have interesting ideas," Dr Debelle said, before adding: "I have to be careful what I say here."
The assistant governor said that gold did not have much intrinsic value, but "because people believe that other people think it's worth a lot", it often had a higher price.
"When you describe other markets like that, the word 'bubble' often gets thrown up," he said.
"Now I'm not going to say that here, but you can draw your own conclusion."

Little Mercies
Harlequin MIRA / June 24, 2014 / $15.95 print / $11.99 digital
Veteran social worker Ellen Moore has seen the worst side of humanity—the vilest acts one person can commit against another. She is a fiercely dedicated children's advocate and a devoted mother and wife. But one blistering summer day, a simple moment of distraction will have repercussions that Ellen could never have imagined, threatening to shatter everything she holds dear, and trapping her between the gears of the system she works for.
Meanwhile, ten-year-old Jenny Briard has been living with her well-meaning but irresponsible father since her mother left them, sleeping on friends' couches and moving in and out of cheap motels. When Jenny suddenly finds herself on her own, she is forced to survive with nothing but a few dollars and her street smarts. The last thing she wants is a social worker, but when Ellen's and Jenny's lives collide, little do they know just how much they can help one another.
Heather Gudenkauf writes compelling, affecting books. In the back of the book she talks a bit about her motivation for the story, and what she wanted to illustrate:
I think there are many time when we find ourselves hoping for the big miracles in life such as a cure to a horrible illness or picking the winning lottery numbers, but I truly believe it's the small kindnesses—the little mercies—that really get us through the difficult times.
And that is what this book is filled with—small acts of compassion, thoughtfulness, and caring that ultimately change the course of two individual's lives.
Jenny Briard's father, Billy, can't keep a job or a girlfriend. So she shouldn't be surprised when he informs her that they are moving to Iowa. That night at the bus station, her father does what he always does—chats up to a pretty girl. Jenny is used to women coming in and out of her life:
Women loved her father. At least for a while anyway. He was almost move-star handsome, but not quite, which made people like him all the more. . . In the past six months a parade of woman had come in and out of their lives. There was the checkout girl at the grocery store that always slid a pack of gum into their bag for Jenny.
"My treat," she said, not even looking at Jenny, keeping her smile brightly focused on Billy.
There was the bank teller, the lady who decorated cakes at the bakery and even the nurse at the emergency room, who spent more time chatting with Billy than attending to the three-inch gash that Jenny got when she ran into the metal frame of the opened screen door.
Her father is so busy talking to the woman that he gives Jenny the bus tickets and asks her to find them a seat. Jenny does what he asks, but then sees her father walk out of sight, with two angry men following him. Jenny is ready to get off the bus when she hears the sounds of sirens:
Immediately she slouched low in her seat. Her father hated the police and didn't hesitate to share his distrust with Jenny.
"See the cops coming," he would say, "go the other direction."
"Why?" Jenny would probe.
He father would just head. "Best they don't find you. You don't want to end up in foster care again, do you?
Ten-year-old Jenny is at a loss of what to do, until she realizes that her bus route goes through Cedar City, the town where her grandmother lives. So she stays on the bus and gets off there. She's not sure of how to find her grandmother, but she's hungry and she sees her favorite restaurant, Happy Pancake. It is there that she meets a concerned waitress named Maudene:
"Please," the woman implored, "let me help."
Jenny's stomach gave a sudden heave and she vomited into the street.
"Please, let me take you home or at the very least call someone for you."
Miserably, Jenny clutched at her stomach and began to cry.
"What's your name?" she asked gently.
"Jenny," she wept.
"Jenny, just tell me who I can call and I will." The woman reached out and placed the back of her hand against Jenny's forehead. "You're sick. I can't just leave you here."
While Maudene is trying to help Jenny, Maudene's daughter Ellen and granddaughter, Avery, are experiencing their own crisis. Ellen's job as a social worker is to makes sure that children in her care are safe, but she is paralyzed when something happens to her own daughter:
Jade leans over, tilts Avery's head back and lift her chin. Oh, my God she's not breathing, I realize as Jade presses her mouth over my daughter's lips and pushes her own air into Avery's lungs. . . Jade presses two fingers on Avery's breastbone and pushes down in quick, purposeful thrusts. I should be doing this. Giving my daughter CPR, saving her life. This is something I know how to do automatically, without even thinking. Clear airway. Two breaths. Thirty compressions. Two more breaths. Place your ear against the child's mouth. Listen for breathing. Can you see the rise and fall of the chest? Can you feel the tickle of breath against your check? Check for a pulse. Still not breathing? Still no pulse? Repeat. I know how to do this. Every social worker knows how to do this. It's part of our training. But I just stand here, swaying on wobbly legs until a pair of hands steadies me. I do nothing. Nothing. It occurs to me that I am watching my daughter die. . .
Jade must have learned CPR in the parenting class she was required to take by the Department of Human Services, required by me to complete in order for her to regain custody of Anthony and I am so grateful. So indebted to this woman who was unable to care for her own child for a time. That his suffering has become my salvation.
I don't want to give too much away, because I want you to be as mesmerized as I was. Little Mercies is not a romance, but it is a riveting story about parenthood—the good the bad and the ugly. It also celebrates the people in our lives who make a difference, and who help us carry the load with small acts of kindness.

I will soon be doing a turkey breast mount, which I have not done before. My directions state to skin the whole body from the legs forward, including the wings to the first joint. My question is, is it necessary to skin that much? Seems to me you could simply cut the skin just in front of the wings and save some work. Or for some reason is that much extra skin needed?
Return to Category Menu
I seem to have plenty and don't skin to the first joint on the wings. You can kind of see the "seams" in the feather patterns and use them as a guide.
