If one sees himself alone and naked in a dream, it means that one of his enemies, knowing his weaknesses, is demanding capitulation from him, or threatening him, or blackmailing him. If one sees himself naked during an assembly or a party in a dream, it means that he will be exposed or defamed.

Pus Dream Explanation
— In a dream, pus means a continuous source of money. Puss-filled sore in a dream represents the growing of one's savings, a show of prosperity, a monthly pay off to a band of criminals, or it could mean slander. Anything that runs from one's body such as puss, purulence, sperms, etcetera, in a dream means unlawful money. If one sees pus coming out of a sore or a boil in a dream, then it represents the male or the female sexual
. (Also see Pimple)
Wall Dream Explanation
— A wall in a dream is also interpreted as a mighty person who cannot be managed except through kindness. Jumping over a wall in a dream means reverting from being a believer to a disbeliever, or accepting and following the advice of a disbeliever. Seeing one's
reflected in a wall in a dream means one's death, and that his name will be itched on his gravestone. If a traveller sees himself returning to his house, whereby its walls are renewed, it means that he will get married. Seeping water from a crack in a wall in one's dream means adversities and stress. (Also see Walls of the city)
Semen Dream Explanation
— (Sperm) In a dream, semen represents a growing and a lasting capital, whether there is little or much of it. If one sees a drop of semen coming out of his reproductive
in a dream, it denotes money that will surface. If the man's semen spatters over his wife in the dream, it means that he will buy her a new garment. Owning an earthenware jar filled with semen in a dream means uncovering a hidden treasure, or becoming wealthy. If the husband is spattered with the semen of his wife in a dream, it means that he will satisfy his desire for her and attain his purpose. Drinking water from one's own reproductive organ in a dream means lustfulness.

Accelerated Construction Technology Transfer Toolkit
Sample Materials and Forms: Sample Workbook
Roadway Geometric Design
Skill Set: Roadway / Geometric Design
Highway design elements such as horizontal and vertical geometrics and roadside grading can impact overall project costs as well as construction time frames. Adverse impacts associated with roadway geometrics could include, problematic excavation due to rock, or unsuitable materials requiring excavation and backfill, to impacts to neighboring properties among others. Vertical and horizontal alignments can often result in utility impacts which should be considered during geometric layout. Design guidelines allow for flexibility during design. The designers challenge is to meet state and national design standards while minimizing adverse impacts overall. If all of these elements can be brought together in an efficient manner, the result should be a construction time frame that is as timely as possible with minimal adverse impacts.
Goals for Skill Set:
- Evaluate the horizontal and vertical geometrics to assess efficacy of construction both overall and during various phases of Maintenance of Traffic.
- Evaluate the horizontal and vertical geometrics with regard to access to the surrounding properties during construction.
- Evaluate the design geometrics with regard to impacts to neighboring properties.
- Review all design elements to assure that necessitated utility relocations have been minimized to the greatest extent possible.
- Review key design elements to assess if there are any means of accelerating construction through innovative design techniques.
- Review design elements with regard to the need for permits and the possibility of minimizing or eliminating.

Skill Set: Traffic / ITS / Safety
Traffic management techniques both during construction and in the completed facility will be critical to the overall success of the project. All innovative techniques that will aide in improving safety, traffic flow, communication and overall speed of construction should be thoroughly reviewed for possibilities. Efficiency in communicating to local elected officials, emergency service providers, the traveling community, and local businesses regarding traffic shifts/detours/restrictions and maintenance of traffic phases during construction will help to minimize impacts. Information systems to communicate via the internet and media should be explored. Incident management systems should also be assessed for potential benefit for this project.
Goals for Skill Set:
- Review Maintenance of Traffic Plans for opportunities to improve traffic flow and eliminate phases or shorten durations while maintaining safety practices.
- Assess pedestrian and biker safety, mobility and accessibility during construction.
- Consider truck detours during heavy construction periods.
- Consider working with businesses to coordinate truck business deliveries to non construction hours.
- Assess the benefits of a Public Involvement Liaison and Campaign during construction.
- Review construction phases for work zone safety.
- During construction, consider alternate route detours or elimination of certain movements to maximize work zone areas.
- On hand field resources for Incident Management; special event planning during construction and post construction.
- Utilize ITS into construction phasing.
- Assure current technology for traffic control devices ( signs, signals, VMS, arrow panels, portable signs).
- Post construction – Traffic Demand Management (hov, mass transit, car/vanpooling, work with local business to encourage flex time, telecommuting, etc.)

Skill Set: Structures
The tunnel carrying Randolph Road beneath MD 97, with WMATA rail tunnels located approximately fifty feet below the existing intersection is the focal point of this project. Any effective means of accelerating the construction of both the tunnel and associated retaining walls could have the resultant effect of accelerating the overall project construction period. Review of standard design and construction practices should be performed. Prefabrication or pre-ordering of materials when applicable to avoid delays should be reviewed. Partnering between the owner and the contractor may aide in communications and expediting construction and should be considered.
Goals for Skill Set:
- Design concepts should consider availability of materials. Are there any long lead items?
- Construction areas will be constrained in this tightly urbanized area. Staging areas and accessibility of those areas should be assessed.
- Design concepts should consider the use of early strength concrete or precast materials for tunnel and retaining walls.
- Evaluate impacts to utilities associated with structure foundations.
- Assess the stages of construction and evaluate the possibility of reducing stages.
- Should construction management be considered as a means of improving construction efficiency, owner/contractor partnering and reduction of delay?
- Are there other new types of construction materials and/or techniques that could be used on this project that would speed construction?

Dr. What should the pater noster, and the holy candell do therto?
So was the pater, no end; I mean, my father was an agreeable youth also.
"High time for us—the pater's little infants—to be a-bed," he said, laughing.
And be sure you call on the pater, and tell him the whole yarn.
pater (or pater meus) quod dedit mihi (or mihi dedit), majus omnibus est (or majus est omnibus: or omnibus majus est).
They say I must get the pater to remove Howard from the school at once.
For one thing, he had meant to go to Pershore: and the pater, not knowing it, started without him.
Why, we just said we wished to be as tall as the pater, you know, and it happened.
Had the pater been in the room, this might have set him against our going.
You're bound to listen to me, for what's the use of calling me 'pater,' and all that, if you don't mind what I say?

RICHMOND – Veteran defensive backs DeAngelo Hall and Brandon Meriweather returned to the practice field Monday after missing a week because of injuries.
Hall, the starting left cornerback, had missed five straight practices after spraining his right ankle in practice July 29. Meriweather had been hobbled with soreness in his surgically-repaired right knee and missed six straight practices.
With both players on the field Monday, it marked the first time in camp that the 11 projected defensive starters had taken the field together. Right cornerback Josh Wilson had missed the start of camp while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.
Hall said he still isn't yet 100 percent, but that his ankle, which he originally tested out on Sunday with the intention of practicing fully Monday, is good enough for him to play.
"They wanted me to kind of take another day and go through that movement, but I told them controlled movement – that's the easy part," Hall said after practice Monday. "As long as I can – I know what I'm doing, it's easy. When I have to go on somebody and go on instantaneous movements, that's when it gets kind of tough and that's what we were out there trying to test today. It felt OK. Am I anywhere near being 100 percent? No, not at all. But at least I know it ain't gonna fall off. If I gotta go out there, I can go out there."
Meriweather went through positional drills and the first half of practice and then was held out of the second round of 11-on-11 action as a precaution. He said he felt good, but wouldn't know for sure how much progress his knee had made until he was able to see how it responded a day after the increased activity.
"We'll see tomorrow," Meriweather explained. "It depends on how I feel when I wake up in the morning, you know? We'll know then if it's a step in the right direction or not."
Meantime, running back Chris Thompson (knee) and guard Adam Gettis (hamstring) also returned to practice. Tight end Jordan Reed was out because of a bruise on top of his foot, Coach Mike Shanahan said. And the coach said receiver Devery Henderson was excused from practice because of a death in his immediate family.

House was extremely comfortable for such an old home. Beautifully updated and restored.
Grounds were perfect for a dyi rustic wedding. Cindy and Jill were generous in sharing their farm property and time. Even though Mother Nature didn't cooperate and we had horrible weather and lost power off and on during the wedding and after, we would choose to do it all again if we could.
Would have been perfect if dogs were allowed! 😉
My family and in-laws spent New Year's weekend at the Stoney Ridge Farm and I can't say enough good things about it.
The property itself is huge and we took walk after walk in the surrounding woods, which had picturesque mountains in the background, clear paths, beautiful fields, and absolute privacy.
With that said, I found the farmhouse to be the real star. A lovely redone kitchen (not huge but great with new appliances), a fantastic dining room with plenty of space, and two good sized living room/den type rooms. The wood stove and fireplaces kept everyone warm and cozy and we found a stock of firewood when we arrived.
The bedrooms were delightful. Five in all, each had a slightly different style and were much larger than I expected (with only one being a bit more moderate in size). The bathrooms seemed recently redone and the fixtures were very high quality.
All in all, the farmhouse and property was a wonderfully relaxing and quiet experience. I can't recommend this rental more and for those who need a special place for a getaway or event. I've traveled a bit and can confidently say you won't go wrong at the Stoney Ridge Farm. If you're looking for the feeling of getting away 'from it all' but with all the comforts you'd hope for, I strongly suggest you consider this rental.
I cannot describe the beauty of this 19th century estate home! I'll start from the beginning!
I live in California but most of my (extensive) family lives in New England so it made sense to have my wedding there. We wanted a farmhouse (check) with a lot of land (check), where we could have our dream wedding (CHECK). The owners, Jill and Cindy, were so easy to get in touch with and so welcoming.
The best part about having our wedding here is that it was not a "wedding venue" so they didn't control any part of it, aside from basic rules (like no wedding guests allowed in the house, which is totally understandable).
As for the house itself, it was one of the most beautifully old houses I've had the pleasure of staying in. Each room has a different decorative theme of sorts, and all bedrooms except one have a three-piece bathroom. This was very handy when my family and wedding party were all staying under the same roof!
Sometime in the future, I am absolutely going to come back here with my family for a relaxing weekend away!
We came to the farm to escape the city and ring in the New Year with friends. This was a perfect retreat for a relaxing weekend of board games by the fire, cooking and sharing stories, and winter strolls on the trails through the estate.
The historic home has lots of charm, is very clean, and spacious. There are five bedrooms with double or queen beds, four of them have private bathrooms/showers. There's also a pull out couch in the living room if needed. A large dining room and well equipped kitchen made it easy to share meals. The house was well heated, the owners even started the wood stove for us before we arrived - such a nice touch!
Highly recommend this farm house for a winter retreat with family or friends.
We can't say enough about this rental. Absolutely beautiful grounds, huge yard for the kids (young and old!) to play in, plenty of parking--I could go on and on. The house itself is gorgeous, newly renovated, but keeping the quaint farmhouse feeling. Plenty of bedrooms and baths. Extremely clean--we did not mind having the kids crawling/playing on the floor. The kind of place you can go to and enjoy the peace and quiet. We went for a weekend because our son was competing in the Ironman triathelon so the whole time was very hectic. We are planning on all going back for a vacation that we can just relax and enjoy the house/yard. Hospitality was great. The house is stocked with everything you need and they leave you alone to enjoy it. I would recommend this rental to anyone.
Wow! Words cannot even begin to express the incredible time we had at this rental home. It is a beautiful farmhouse, remodeled with every convenience you can think of. The hospitality of the owners was incredible! With the five bedrooms and plenty of baths, it was perfect for our extended family to get together. The location was just beautiful, quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the family room with the woodstove on the cold, winter days and enjoyed snowshoeing around the property. We definitely hope to get back there!

American Samoa, a U.S. territory, will soon make it illegal for stores to hand out plastic shopping bags -- a step that California rejected earlier this week.
Gov. Togiola Tulafono, who signed the ban into law last week, says it will help protect American Samoa's natural beauty, reports the Associated Press. Its supporters say plastic bags, taking up to 1,000 year to decompose, pollute the ocean and entangle sea life.
The law, which takes effect Feb. 23, exempts shopping bags produced entirely from non-petroleum-based biodegradable plastic and compostable plastic bags.
Other countries, including South Africa, Ireland, China and Bangladesh, have discouraged plastic bag use through fees or bans, according to the AP. But in the United States, such action has occurred only at the local level.
San Francisco became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags in 2007 and several other California cities -- Palo Alto, Malibu, Fairfax -- have since followed. North Carolina banned single-use plastic and non-recyclable bags last year in the Outer Banks. In January, Washington, D.C., began requiring grocery stores to charge a nickel for disposable grocery bags.
On Tuesday night, the California Senate voted down a plastic bag ban that had passed the Assembly in June and drew praise from GOP Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The bill, fiercely opposed by the plastic bag manufacturing industry, would have barred grocery stores, large pharmacies and retailers such as Target and Walmart that sell food from offering plastic bags starting in 2012.

Steven received his MFA from Tulane University. He is currently Professor of Practice in Glass Sculpture at Tulane University. He was a Master Class Instructor at the International Festival of Glass in Sturbridge, England and Education Director and Instructor of glass casting and blowing at UrbanGlass in Brooklyn, New York. Steven's work has been reviewed and written about in Sculpture Magazine, Art in America, Glass Quarterly and was featured in New Glass Review 29, and GlassNotes: A Reference for the Glass Artist. He was also the recipient of the 2007 Glass Art Society Emerging Artist Award.
Artists Statement: My work primarily focuses on large scale sculpture and installation which uses glass as a material for artistic expression, but also includes works in stone, steel, wood and works on paper. Sculpturally, I want to use the inherent properties of glass to convey notions which are not traditionally associated with the material, such as weightiness and mass, or its ability to have raw gutty surfaces that can speak to ideas about entropy and loss. I love the presence and dichotomy created by a material that is at once visually light but physically dense. My primary referent in my work is the man-made object. Whether this is architecture, industrial design, landscape modification or small objects of personal significance I use the world of the created object to comment on notions of personal history, experience, perception and memory.

Teen couple arrested in alleged booze theft
May 18, 2013
A 19-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy were arrested Wednesday afternoon by Grass Valley Police officers after the couple allegedly tried to shoplift booze, soda and condoms.
"They both had hatched a plan to steal alcohol," said Sgt. Steve Johnson. "They went in with large black bags, took several bottles of hard liquor and tried to flee. But two minors running out with large black bags that were clinking caught the attention of the loss prevention officer."
The two were detained just before 5 p.m. and turned over to police officers, who allegedly found two bottles of vodka (Skyy and Smirnoff), a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey, Orange Crush soda and condoms in the bags. The boy was cited and released to a parent.
Sarah May Mooney, of Grass Valley, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree burglary, criminal conspiracy, being a minor in possession of alcohol and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She was being held in county jail in lieu of $11,500 bail.

With the exclusivity period for negotiations between Nufarm and suitor Sinochem drawing to a close today, the target company wouldn't be drawn into the sticking points of the $2.8 billion deal or the potential for another bidder to emerge.
Analysts put a low probability on other parties entering the fray.
China's Sinochem and pesticides manufacturer Nufarm were unable to sign off on a transaction implementation agreement because of issues raised during the due diligence process, prompting the companies to extend their self-imposed deadline to December 23.
A sagging share price also suggests investors are increasingly doubtful of the deal being sealed.
Nufarm is, however, taking the opportunity to be vocal on the indicative offer price, saying after its annual general meeting on Thursday that cordial negotiations will continue as long as the $13 per share proposal is maintained.
Separately, comments made from producers offshore may bode well for Nufarm.
Executives of Mosaic Co and Potash Corp, North America's largest fertilizer producers, have expressed confidence in a recovery in demand for crop nutrients.

Press Mentions
Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 59th Street (excluding Columbus Circle) to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have its own character. The 70s and 80s have their share of "Classic Six" prewar apartments (that's two bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office) as opposed to a "Classic Seven," which has all these rooms in addition to another bedroom. Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views perfectly match the street's name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to have the capability to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.

|Home | Stressors | Altered Hydrology | Water Level Changes

Natural fluctuations in water levels are an important part of the coastal area's ecological dynamic and productivity and can result in dramatic changes within Lake St. Clair's gently sloping marshes and lakeplain. Variable water levels create greater diversity among plants and animals that adapt to and depend on a highly changeable wetland environment. However, some changes in water levels are a result of explicit human intervention and tend to disrupt natural processes.

Six pool records fell as Amherst men's and women's swimming and diving handily defeated Wesleyan. The women won 192-107, while the Jeff men dominated 202.5-92.5.
Amherst's Kerry Weeks broke three more records in the 100 and 200 breaststroke, as well as the 400 IM with times of 1:08.88, 2:29.62 and 4:39.99, respectively. All three times were B-cut qualifying times for the National Championships. The team of Sarah Moran, Sarah Olson, Elise DeRiel and Katrin Stuehmeier also shattered the pool record in the 800-freestyle relay by almost nine seconds with a time of 8:06.85.
Wesleyan's Emily Rauscher also broke the pool record in the 500 freestyle with a time of 5:09.56, enough for a B-cut for Nationals.
The Amherst men kicked off the meet with a splash as the team of Adam Kerstein, Bryan Luke, Flori Fischetti and Brian Porter broke the pool record in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:39.02. Patrick Lahey then took half a second off of the 100 breaststroke record by clocking a time of 1:00.47.
In diving, senior co-captain Becky Watson and sophomore Matt Smith both gained their second qualifying scores for Nationals.

Mischa Barton hospitalized
Mischa Barton was rushed to the hospital last night after suffering an adverse reaction to medication while at a friend's Memorial Day BBQ. She began feeling sick after downing some cocktails which reacted with antibiotics she had been taking to treat bronchitis. TMZ reports:
The 21-year-old celeb was rushed to an undisclosed medical facility in Los Angeles, where we are told she is "resting comfortably" … the starlet is with family and "feeling much better."
I learned not to mix alcohol with medication in the second grade. Although to be fair to Mischa, I also designed a car that runs entirely on water when I was in kindergarten, and graduated from Harvard when I was twelve.
And here's Mischa Barton and Nicole Richie loading up on groceries right before that fateful Memorial Day BBQ. Judging by the events of the BBQ (and my x-ray glasses) the bags are filled with vodka, cigarettes, and maybe some coloring books. You know, for mental stimulation.

Friday is here and we are busy, busy over here at Thursdays. I am wrapping things up and will be hopping on a plane to Indiana for some time with my family and friends. I am especially excited for my little trip down to Louisville where I'll be having my Thursday Night Dinner with Colleen, Emily, and Kate!
Before I take off, I am so please to share today's blog from the the lovely Sara Lowman. Our friend, Raquel, recently held her daughter's 1st birthday celebration! Raquel's tastes are absolutely flawless. After this make sure to check out Raquel's baby shower, DIY wedding ideas, and her daughter's nursery. I promise that you'll go throughout the rest of your day feeling inspired to throw a little gathering of your own!
Thanks Sara! Oh! And happy belated birthday Miss Carolina!
My friend Raquel is one of those people who always gets it right. From her clothes to her house to her little Italian Greyhound, she's devastatingly flawless. So it was no surprise when she whipped together the perfect outdoor birthday party for her adorable one year old daughter, Carolina. And while it may seem impossible to pull off stylish events as effortlessly as people like Raquel, you can't blame a girl for trying.
1. Get Personal
Start with the invitation. Everything from the text to the shape of the paper says that this event will be a playful party with vintage charm. Custom invitations don't have to cost you an arm and a leg. Sites like Etsy.com have many talented and affordable artists who can personalize everything from invitations to water bottles. Raquel used Etsy's Loralee Lewis for her personal touches, integrating the style of the invitation into the party decor.
I wasn't kidding about the water bottles...
2. Decorate!
A little bit of paper can go a long way. From paper flag banners (made by Raquel herself with some fabric shears and colorful string) to paper accordion lanterns, these whimsical touches add color and drama to the space.
3. Remember Who Your Guests Are...
While an outdoor deck can be a great place for adults, it might spell splinters for little ones learning to walk. Raquel covered the floor with soft blankets encouraging adults to kick off their shoes and toddlers to wobble fearlessly.
4. EAt
Finger foods are great for kids and adults, and they don't take hours to prepare. Raquel made it easy for guests to grab a snack by setting up a beautiful buffet table.
5. Drink
We already covered the personalized water bottles which made for stylish hydration, but this party also made sure the adults had a drink of choice in hand. A cocktail or two made the party festive for all parents and guests.
6. Be Merry
Fun is contagious, and it's one thing (amongst many—obviously) that Raquel is good at. All her planning and preparation allowed her to sit back and enjoy her daughter's first birthday. No one wants a host who's frazzled trying to entertain. Relax and enjoy the fruits of your efforts. With any luck, you'll not only plan a party, you'll also make a memory.
~ Sara

AP Headline: Anyone Who Questions Perry's Soft Immigration Record Is 'Far Right'
First, to be fair to Associated Press reporter Christopher Sherman, because there is no equivalent reference in the 3:34 p.m. version of his report on Rick Perry's immigration positions, the headline which will follow the jump does not appear to be of his doing.
But whoever at the wire service decided on the headline to use at Sherman's piece definitely has a problem with anyone who questions the need for illegal-immgrant amnesty, is against the granting of in-state tuition for college students who are illegal immigrants, or supports robust border enforcement:
One supposes that cooler heads might prevail at the AP in due course. But in the meantime, a Google News search on the exact headline in quotes done shortly after 4 PM ET indicates that it has already appeared in 102 places.
Here are several paragraphs from Sherman's report:
For all of his rock-solid conservative credentials, Texas Gov. Rick Perry may have an Achilles' heel: immigration.
If Perry runs for president, as is widely expected, he will undoubtedly focus on Texas' relatively healthy economy and its low taxes and his record in creating jobs in the 11 years he's been governor. What he may have to explain on the stump is how illegal immigrants have contributed to that success, adding as much as $17.7 billion a year to the state gross product and enjoying such benefits as in-state tuition at public universities.
... "Gov. Perry is very eager to appear tough on illegal immigration, but upon closer inspection he's part of the problem," complained William Gheen, who runs the North Carolina-based political action committee Americans for Legal Immigration. The group intends to educate conservative groups about candidates' positions on that issue.
... Texas remains welcoming to immigrants in ways some other states are not.
Illegal immigrants can get in-state tuition at Texas universities. Neither employers nor state agencies are required to run job applicants through a federal database to determine their legal status. Illegal immigrants have access to services for drug treatment, mental health and children with special health care needs.
The fact is, despite the pronouncements from Democrats in Washington, illegal immigration is deeply opposed by at least a significant pluralities of Democrats and moderates as well as a majority of conservatives. One small example which shows majorities across the board comes from from May of last year:
A strong majority of Americans support Arizona's controversial new immigration law and would back similar laws in their own states, a new McClatchy-Ipsos poll found.
Sixty-one percent of Americans — and 64 percent of registered voters — said they favored the law in a survey of 1,016 adults conducted May 6-9.
Strikingly, nearly half of Democrats like the law, under which local law enforcement officers are tasked with verifying people's immigration status if they suspect them of being in the country illegally. While the Democratic Party generally is regarded as more sympathetic to illegal immigrants' plights, 46 percent of Democrats said they favored the law for Arizona and 49 percent said they'd favor the law's passage in their own states.
More than 8 in 10 Republicans and 54 percent of independents favor the law.
Given that so-called "comprehensive immigration reform" aka amnesty was rejected by the Senate in 2007 after a wave of public pressure, maybe the AP's headline writer delusionally believes that the World's Greatest Deliberative Body is also dominated by the far right. Zheesh.
I wonder how many times the term "far left" has ever appeared in an Associated Press headline, at least in the past decade?

- Belfast City Council Belfast, Northern Ireland
Lose tourism dollars
Belfast is a city that pracitices Breed Specific Legislation. Two years ago, they took a dog named Lennox away from his family. Lennox had never bitten anyone or caused any problems. He was issued a dog license. He was ripped from his family because he looked like a Pit Bull. After a long court battle, Lennox was euthanized. Belfast needs to change their laws so this does not happen again. Breed Specific Legislation is wrong. Any dog can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Belfast needs to realize that they will lose world support, starting today, for what they have done to Lennox. I am starting this petition, to let the officials of Belfast know that we, the undersigned, will never visit Belfast, will discourage others from doing so, and will not support Belfast in any manner from this point onward.
- Belfast City Council Belfast, Northern Ireland
I just signed the following petition addressed to: Belfast City Council Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Lose tourism dollars
We need to start somewhere to end Breed Specific Legislation, and the loss of tourism dollars will hit Belfast hard. Their treatment of Lennox and the Barnes family was inhumane, and quite simply unnecessary. I am starting this petition vowing to never visit Belfast, nor support this city in any way, for the rest of my life.
Denise Sprout started this petition with a single signature, and now has 821 supporters. Start a petition today to change something you care about.

Learn the basics of raising backyard chickens from brooder to coop.
Whether you're raising chickens for your family or running a larger scale operation, GRIT Magazine Editor-in-Chief, Hank Will, explains the basics of what you should know to successfully raise backyard chickens. Using his own experience, Hank offers valuable information about the differences you'll encounter in raising chickens for meat (known as broilers) versus chickens for eggs.
Raising backyard chickens not only provides fresh meat and eggs, but chickens can be used as a form of natural pest control — even baby chicks have the habit of pecking. Once they're old enough to be released into a larger area, backyard chickens will graze the yard and field for ticks, grasshoppers and other insects.

Two free performances on the green at the Steam Pump Village shopping center in Oro Valley begin the 2009-'10 Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance Cultural Concert Series.
This Friday, Oct. 30, the Sweet Willie D Blues Band takes the stage at 6:30 p.m.
The four-man outfit has a sound rooted in the West Memphis blues. When he was 12 years old, front man Willie D played the drums in a Memphis blues club owned by the great blues guitarist Albert King. He draws musical inspiration from other blues greats, including B.B. King, Lucky Peterson and Luther Allison.
In the decades since, Willie D learned the guitar and traveled throughout the South with various blues acts. In 2005, the Missouri native moved to Tucson and resumed his playing career.
A second performance at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20 features The Rafael Moreno Quartet and its classic Latin sound.
Moreno has made an indelible mark on Tucson's Latin music scene during his nearly 20-year career. He has assembled a top-notch group of players — Amilcar Guevara (piano), Ian Stapp (bass), Eric Hines (percussion) — to back him for the Nov. 20 concert at Steam Pump Village. The quartet will play boleros, bossa nova, Latin jazz and American Songbook standards with a Latin twist.
The 2009-10 SAACA Cultural Concert Series at Steam Pump features a variety of ethnic, regional and world musical styles. The goal of each free performance is "to broaden attendees' appreciation of various musical traditions and the cultures from which they originate," a release said.
