found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
He is an affectionate little griff who wants a home that can dote on him. He will just continue to blossom into the wonderful intelligent character that he is showing he is. Tad has some of the cutest play habits his foster parents have seen. His favorite toy is the cap from a water bottle. He will throw it in the air and bat it around like a cat, then he will throw it in the air and the game starts all over again. He also uses his hind legs in the most unique way to turn around in place! He is a little Kramer says his foster home, so if you like a dog that has his own way of presenting himself to the great big world, this is the dog for you!
He is hoping for a forever home with a securely fenced yard, another small female dog to play with and a human that will love him unconditionally. Are you the special person Tad is looking for? Tad would do fine as an only pet as long as he gets plenty of one on one with his special person....no exceptions!
Tad is up-to-date on vaccinations, micro chipped, heart worm negative, neutered, and is being fostered near Seattle, in Marysville, WA. He is so ready to meet you!
Please keep in mind that we prefer to place our dogs within driving distance of where they are being fostered. If someone outside the local area is approved for adoption, they must be willing to fly in to get Tad. That can only happen if he will fly home inside the cabin with the approved adopter. We never, ever ship our dogs in cargo.
If you are interested in adopting Tad, please submit an adoption application at www.abgra.org.. If you have any questions, please contact us at the email link below.
TAD in Marysville, WA, a Salem Brussels Griffon dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Brussels Griffon for sale in Salem, or seeking a Brussels Griffon dog from a breeder in Salem.

WWF Scotland director Lang Banks has today (Tuesday 30 August) reacted to the news that testing will begin in Orkney on the world's most powerful tidal turbine.
The WWF Scotland director released the following statements:
"News that the world's most powerful tidal turbine is to begin trials in Orkney underlines the important role Scotland currently plays in the development of marine renewables globally.
We hope the sea trials are successful and the findings are helpful to the wider industry

"We hope the sea trials are successful and the findings are helpful to the wider industry as it seeks to find cost-effective ways to harness the pollution-free power of our seas.
"Alongside measures to improve energy efficiency, marine renewables have the potential to play a significant role in powering our homes and businesses in the future. If we are to secure such a future it's important that the Scottish Government's forthcoming energy strategy sets an ambition to secure at least half of all our energy needs from renewables by 2030. Such an ambition will ensure Scotland maximises the benefits from a transition to a zero-carbon economy."

* Germany one of six powers in stalled talks with Tehran
* Foreign minister says still time for diplomatic solution
* Deems "talks for sake of talks" with Iran unacceptable
By Jeffrey Heller
JERUSALEM, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Germany's foreign minister urged Iran on Sunday to bring "substantial offers" to restart nuclear negotiations with world powers and assured Israel that allowing the Islamic Republic to get the bomb was "not an option".
"We share the concern in Israel about the nuclear programme in Iran," Guido Westerwelle told reporters before talks with Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak.
His visit to Jerusalem followed weeks of heightened rhetoric in Israel over a possible go-it-alone strike against Iran's nuclear facilities and repeated calls by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for world powers to set a "red line" for Tehran.
Westerwelle, whose country, together with France, Britain, Russia, China and the United States, has held three rounds of inconclusive talks with Iran this year, said there was still time for a diplomatic solution.
"But it is serious, and it's crucial, and this means that talks for the sake of talks is not what we are seeking," he said.
"And therefore, we call the government in Iran to come back to the table with substantial offers, which is very necessary and very crucial at this time," Westerwelle said.
"Nuclear weapons in the hands of Iran is not an option," he added.
At a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Cyprus on Friday, Germany, Britain and France called for new EU sanctions against Iran.
The ministers did not say what further measures the EU could take after the bloc already banned imports of Iranian oil and isolated its banking system in the last round of sanctions that came into full force in July.
The sanctions appear to have contributed to a collapse in the Iranian currency which plunged to an all-time low on Sunday. Central Bank Governor Mahmoud Bahmani said: "We are fighting with the world in an economic sense."
"The conditions we are in are war conditions," Bahmani said, according to the Iranian Students' News Agency.
The sanctions are aimed at forcing Iran to curb nuclear activities that the West believes are aimed at developing atomic weapons capability, an allegation Tehran denies.
Iran says its nuclear work is for peaceful energy purposes and that it will not bend to pressure from the West.
Israel, believed to be the only nuclear-armed state in the Middle East, sees the possibility of Iran developing an atomic bomb as a threat to its existence and has said it may use military means if diplomacy and sanctions fail.
Addressing his cabinet on Sunday, Netanyahu hailed Canada's decision on Friday to cut diplomatic relations with Iran over its nuclear activities.
"I call on the entire international community, or at least on its responsible members, to follow in Canada's determined path and set Iran moral and practical red lines, lines that will stop its race to achieve nuclear weapons," Netanyahu said.

Sheri Sergentwrote a review of The North Face Paramount Valley Convertible Pant - Women's on August 23, 2012
Pants don't go smaller size
Boy, I'm glad I didn't listen to the girl who said these pants were true to size. I went with a size bigger and should've returned them, but thought the more I hiked the more loose they would become. Not! I Hiked Mount Whitney and they were easy to get off and pull around my boots...I liked that however; when I went to put the legs back on the zipper, one was gone. So there I was with one leg on and one off. This was far from a fashion statement. Yes, the first time I took them off, then on. I will pursue getting a new pair....since I think there's a lifetime warranty. I brought some safety pins, so that helped as we reached the summit. I kept popping the snaps as I bent over...maybe I've gotten fatter? Im usually a solid 10 and ordered a 12..... Glad I did....probs should've gone bigger.

My Hell in a Cell Card
by, 09-21-2011 at 04:53 PM (2626 Views)
First time blogger but I have tons of posts on the forums, I decided to do this today after coming up with plenty of(if I may say so) great ideas, now it involves most of the titles and some backup fueds as well, while utilizing most of WWE's biggest current stars.
WWE Title:
Either Cena or Del Rio should win this, because C.M. Punk is apparently going to have a match with Kevin Nash down the line and having Nash in the title picture just feels wrong. Now if Cena wins then put over his superman persona, and run with it, in other words don't book Cena any differently than usual. If Del Rio wins put over his desperation and have him go to crazy lengths to win the title back, have him beat down both Cena and Punk after the match etc. Del Rio can handle whatever you put in front of him.
This is easy for me, first have Mark Henry win, dominantly in a decent length match, put over Henry's awesome power and ferocity. I would have him injure Orton(kayfabe of course) and keep Orton out until at least Royal Rumble to freshen up the Smackdown title scene. Henry could do some messed up stuff to Orton to sell this and make this angle look pretty legit. While the workhorse Orton gets some much needed rest and Smackdown gets a much needed refresher we can have Christian, Sheamus, Ezekiel Jackson, Daniel Bryan, or even Justin Gabriel fued with the heel Mark Henry, even turning Wade Barrett face or Henry face to fued with Cody Rhodes could be interesting.
Divas Title:
Now this may shock some people at first but I want to have Natalya go over Kelly Kelly clean, beating her in a good match(which Natalya can more than pull off with Kelly) and start a rivalry between Beth Pheonix and Natalya with a jealousy storyline starting with Beth being jealous that she couldn't take out "the bimbo Kelly Kelly". Natalya made me love the Divas division when she had the belt and no offense to Kelly, as she has done better than I ever expected holding the belt so have Natalya hold it for a while.
Miz and R-Truth:
They haven't been fired and I hope everyone knows that, WWE wouldn't fire their two most over heels for any reason right now I hope. Have them in a match where they win their jobs back against Triple and sayyyyyy Johnny Ace(he was a very good wrestler back in the day and may be able to still go) and have them kill the conspiracy or something like that.
US Title:
Let's get that title off of Dolph Ziggler, he is a good champion but he isn't doing anything of worth, have him drop it to Jack Swagger. Jack can carry a title very well, don't use that bad WHC title reign as a meter as to how good he can carry a title, use his ECW reign, where he had great matches and promos with Matt Hardy, Evan Bourne, Finlay, Christian, and Tommy Dreamer. Jack is(for real) the WWE's next shot at the Kurt Angle character, pure technical wrestler, big size, good mic skills, over the top charisma, and the gimmick to make it happen.
Tag Team Titles:
Have Air Boom fued with someone, anyone and let them win, you have The Usos, Reks and Hawkins, Brodus Clay and Mason Ryan could team and any of those matches sound good to me. If Miz and Truth are not going to have a Tag Team fued then someone should.
I left the IC title off the show because it seems like one title always gets left of Pay Per Views and I can't think of a great fued that Cody Rhodes can have right now without downgrading someone.
Hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed typing it.

Eat Like a Lumberjack
While staying at Sleeping Fawn Resort in Park Rapids, Minnesota, I came across a brochure for the Rapid River Logging Camp. Because my grandmother spent much of her childhood in a logging camp in northern Michigan, places like this and the Forest History Center have always intrigued me so that I could see firsthand what her surroundings were like.
The Forest History Center is a living history museum with an interpretive center, preserving the logging camp for visitors who want to see what the buildings and lifestyles in the camp were like.
Rapid River Logging Camp has some original buildings and equipment that visitors are allowed to explore, but the real draw there is the food, all-you-can-eat breakfast or dinner served family-style in the logging camp mess hall. The combination of the menu and ambience was enough for us to give it a try, so we headed over to the logging camp for breakfast.
Payment is made upon entering the complex, at the gift shop register. For breakfast, which is served from 7:30 a.m. to noon, the price is $8.25 for adults and $5.25 for children ages 3-9, which includes food, milk, coffee, juice, and tax, but not tips. For our family, the total was about the same as a breakfast at Perkins.
After you've paid, you go to the entrance of the dining hall itself and are directed to a table set with tin serviceware just as in the lumberjack days. (During busy times, you may have to wait, but we were seated right away.)
When your server arrives, you place your order, which is basically how many eggs you want and how you want them cooked — scrambled or "softies" — and what you would like to drink. The pancakes, ham, and hash browns will be replenished as often as you like.
The first food to arrive at our table was a bowl of prunes, something that was very common at lumberjack meals. Then the platters of the rest of our meal arrived. Our eyes got big as we saw the huge amount of food placed in front of us.
It was good. Really, really good. Our ten-year-old son took off after the ham, which was delicious, and I dug into the just-right hash browns and eggs. The girls ate pancake after pancake, and when I finally got to one, I saw why they liked them so well. Everything was hot off the griddle and it's the best breakfast I've had in a long, long time.
We didn't think we'd be able to eat it all.
But we did.
And then we asked for more, and finished that as well. (The only thing we didn't clean up was the prunes.)
Finding a restaurant that all of us like is a challenge, so it was a testament to the Rapid River Logging Camp that all the kids wanted to go back the next day to eat again. (We didn't, because my stomach was still full from the previous day's meal.)
After we ate, we explored the outbuildings; marked trails along a creek are also available to help walk off the meal you've just finished.
If a big breakfast isn't your thing, dinner is served from 1-9 p.m. daily, with an all-you-can-eat menu of roast beef, chicken, ham, roast port, and ribs. Sounds good to me!
Rapid River Logging Camp is located on County Road 18 north of Park Rapids, Minnesota; follow the signs. It's open daily from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Call 218-732-3444 for more information. When you go, be sure to take your appetite!

In Move To
21 Things You Need To Know About Pomona Before You Move ThereFrom family fairs to fresh food around every corner to a secretly awesome music scene, Pomona is no ordinary SoCal city.
1. The Fairest Of Them All, Literally
Source: Flickr user victoriabernalThe Los Angeles County Fair is a highly anticipated—and hugely attended—event each year. However, you might be surprised to find that the fair isn't held in L.A. itself, but 30 miles east in Pomona. The Fairplex hosts a myriad of "Los Angeles" festivals throughout the year, including the Los Angeles County Irish Fair & Music Festival each St. Patrick's Day.
2. You'll Being Living Near 20,000 Broncos
Source: Cal Poly Pomona via FacebookCalifornia State Polytechnic University, Pomona (or just Cal Poly Pomona to those in the know) is on the edge of the city, with more than 20,000 students learning, working, and living under the reared up legs of their beloved Broncos mascot. But it's not all about parties at this school: Cal Poly Pomona is currently ranked #6 among the Best Public Schools in the West by U.S. News and World Report.
3. But Don't Bother Looking For Pomona College
Source: Flickr user Dave & Margie Hill/KleerupThough Pomona is home to two large educational institutions, what it surprisingly isn't home to is Pomona College. It was founded here in 1887 but moved to Claremont (four miles away) a mere two years later.
4. Pomona Takes The Crazy Out Of Coachella
Source: Flickr user Thomas HawkIf you're a fan of the musicians who play at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, but not of spending hot, sweaty, crowded, and expensive days in the middle of the desert, Pomona is your oasis. Artists playing during the at festival often make a dash here (usually at the Glass House or the Fox Theatre, and often last-minute or unannounced) for a mellower set and some air-conditioning.
5. Skiing In SoCal? You Better Believe It
Source: Flickr user dsearlsThough Pomona is firmly situated in the middle of Southern California, it's actually only 16 miles from Mt. Baldy and an ice-cold weekend getaway. Situated in the San Antonio Canyon of Angeles National Forest, the mountain range also provides excellent hiking when the snow isn't in season.
6. Fresh Produce Is Just About Everywhere
Source: Cal Poly Pomona Farm Store at Kellogg Ranch via FacebookPomona Valley Farmers' Market takes place every Saturday all year round and the Downtown Pomona Certified Farmers Market is held the second Saturday of every month. If you don't want to give up your Saturday just to get some fresh fruit, you'll find fantastic produce every day at the Farm Store at Kellogg Ranch—where Cal Poly Pomona sells produce fresh from its own farm.
7. It's The Ranch Versus The Rest
Source: Wikimedia user BmamlyukA planned community dating back to the '60s, Phillips Ranch is within Pomona's city's limits and has a Pomona zip code, but most of its residents use "Phillips Ranch, CA" as their return address—and the U.S. Postal Service lets them. This community differentiates itself from the rest of Pomona (and vice versa) due to its relative wealth and elevated social stratification. It's a polarizing part of town, and how you feel about this place simply depends upon whether you live here or not.
8. Beware Of The City's Twitter
Source: Flickr user Aaron EscobarThe City of Pomona joined Twitter in order to share "important Disaster, Public Safety, and other City Department Updates" in a timely manner, which sounds really important. But its roughly 1,200 followers typically get daily reminders about benefits of natural fertilizer and tips on keeping up your yard. You were warned.
9. Pomona Is A Classic Car Buff's Dream Come True
Source: Pomona Swap Meet via FacebookIf you have a classic car you want to brag about—or a classic car you want to get rid of—the Pomona Swap Meet and Classic Car Show is the place to make it happen. Seven times a year, huge crowds of enthusiasts gather as early as 5AM to scope out and buy cars and parts, sell cars and parts, or just ogle those who are doing the bragging and swapping.
10. Donahoo's Makes KFC Taste Like Garbage
Source: YelpDon't even mention the Colonel, because Donahoo's Golden Chicken is the fried poultry ruler in these parts. Those who don't fear cholesterol praise their enormous and well-spiced chicken strips. Those who don't fear carbohydrates say missing out on the biscuits is basically a crime.
11. Pomona Thinks You Deserve A Night Out
Source: Flickr user Master Data ManagementDowntown Pomona has been revitalized with its commitment to Pomona Night Out. One Saturday night each month, the city celebrates with live music and entertainment out on its streets, with plenty of food to sample and arts and crafts to peruse.
12. Your Neighbors Will Try To Educate Or Heal You
Source: Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center via FacebookPomona is a city of citizens who serve their own. According to its 2009 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, the city's largest employers are Pomona Unified School District, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and Lanterman Developmental Center.
13. Pomona Will Drag You Through The Racing Season
Source: Flickr user Scott cutlerThe Auto Club Raceway at Pomona is the oldest venue on the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Full Throttle Drag Racing Series circuit. It's been home to NHRA's season opener (the Kragen O'Reilly NHRA Winternationals) since 1961, and to the season closer (the Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals) since 1984. And with seats for 40,000 spectators—including luxury boxes—it packs them in each time the engines rev.
14. The Birthplace Of "Honey"
Source: Flickr user ThemeplusBefore Jessica Alba danced her way into saving the community center and earned herself a spot on Maxim's "Hot 100," she was just another kid in Pomona. Alba was born here in 1981 while her father was stationed with the U.S. Air Force.
15. Who Says Antiques Have To Be Boring?
Source: Flickr user Ryan BasilioNot in Pomona, at least. Five times a year Pomona hosts the Collectors Street Faire along Antique Row, and treasure hunters from near and far explore, barter, buy, and sell.
16. The Whole Place Is Crawling With Artists
Source: Flickr user Chris ManacopDowntown Pomona is home to the Arts Colony, a collection of galleries, shops, and artist lofts. The neighborhood itself is also a big of a canvas, with murals and sculptures shown off in public spaces. The mural "Pomona Envisions The Future" is a centerpiece, a collaboration of many local artists commissioned by the city.
17. Guasalmex Is The Best Of Three Worlds
Source: Flickr user René MayorgaGuasalmex is hands-down the most beloved, highly rated restaurant in Pomona. If it's name confuses you, let's break it down: It's "Gua" for Guatemalan, "sal" for Salvadoran, and "mex" for Mexican. It serves all three nation's cuisines, with Salvadoran pupusas getting an extra special rave from the restaurant's many fans.
18. You Can Feel The History
Source: Wikimedia user Los AngelesThe Pomona Historical Society has taken great care to restore and maintain its 20 historic landmarks, and most of them are open to the public. Adobe de Palomares and La Casa Primera are amongst the oldest adobe homes ever built, and provide particular insight into Pomona's former way of life.
19. People In Pomona Chalk It Up
Source: Flickr user victoriabernalThis year will mark Pomona's 7th Annual Chalk Art Festival. On the first Saturday in November, students, families and professional artists join together to transform dull gray concrete into impermanent works of art. But since the average annual rainfall in Pomona is only 17 inches, it might stick around here longer than it would in other cities.
20. You Can Be Guinea Pigs For The Perfect Restaurant
Source: The Restaurant at Kellogg Ranch via FacebookThe Restaurant at Kellogg Ranch is chic, romantic, bucolic, and serves up a rotating menu that's always fresh, locally sourced, and delicious. And bonus: It's also operated and managed by Cal Poly Pomona students enrolled in The Collins College of Hospitality Management, so you never know what might be on the menu.
21. Pomona Puts Christmas On Parade
Source: Pomona Christmas Parade via FacebookThere's no question about it: Pomona's got some major holiday spirit. One of its biggest community events is an annual Christmas Parade, which—despite the pervasive sunshine and general lack of snow—brings Yuletide cheer through the downtown streets. What do you love about living in Pomona? Let us know in the comments below.

Alle-Kiski high school notebook: Cheswick Christian track program enjoys strong start
Cheswick Christian Academy's first-year track and field program has burst out of the starting blocks.
The school sponsors boys and girls teams, both of which compete against other non-WPIAL programs.
The boys flashed their team speed Saturday on their way to a first-place finish at the Robinson Township Charter School Track and Field Invitational at Robert Morris' Island Sports Center. They topped the six-team field with a score of 137. Cheswick Christian Academy's girls placed fifth in their seven-team competition.
Junior JaJuan Malloy provided Cheswick Christian Academy with four first-place finishes. He won the 100 meters (11.65 seconds), the 200 (24.3), the 400 (56.06) and the long jump (18 feet, 3 inches).
Senior Andrew Maust took first in the high jump (5-8) and placed third in the long jump.
Freshman Andy Skledar won the javelin (84-10) and placed second in the 100, third in the 200 and second in the high jump.
Sophomore Antione Malloy, JaJaun's younger brother, placed second in the 200, 400 and long jump.
On the girls side, freshman Emma Lovic placed third in the high jump. Freshman Cydney Francis took third in the shot put.
R&R for wrestling star
During previous springs, Burrell wrestler Dakota DesLauriers stepped away from the mat and devoted time to the high school's rugby team.
This spring, however, is all about downtime for DesLauriers, who won his first PIAA title in March.
Partially because of plans to wrestle at Mercyhurst, DesLauriers didn't join the Buckheads. Another factor that led to the decision: A few free months allowed DesLauriers to get some overdue surgery on his left arm.
The surgery, completed in late March, removed a bone chip that was embedded in DesLauriers' left triceps muscle. DesLauriers said the chip stemmed from an elbow injury he suffered before his junior season.
"It's affected me a couple times," said DesLauriers, who lost just once in his final two seasons at Burrell. "I definitely worried because it hindered me a little bit. … But you just get in that mindset where nothing can hurt you, nothing can stop you."
Great expectations
To attain her ultimate goal, sophomore Samantha Smith must stop other girls from getting theirs.
Smith, a Tarentum resident who attends Shady Side Academy, is a gifted hockey goaltender with grand aspirations, which include earning a spot on the women's national team.
"I really want to play in college, wherever that may be, and my really big goal is to wear a Team USA jersey," said Smith, a second-year starter in net at Shady Side Academy. "It's a lot of hard work to get there, and I have a long way to go."
In addition to playing for Shady Side Academy, which competes in the prep-heavy Women's Interscholastic Hockey League of the Mid-Atlantic, Smith belongs to the Pittsburgh Penguins Elite amateur organization. Earlier this month, Smith participated in the America's Showcase event at Robert Morris' Island Sports Center as a member of Team Mid-America.
The Showcase, designed to put top high school-aged players from around the country in front of college and Junior Hockey scouts, featured six girls teams. Smith, who split time in net with Mid-America teammate Laurel Brown, rejected 28-of-30 shots in 76 minutes of action. Her save percentage (93.3) ranked third among the Showcase's 11 female goalies.
Also at the Showcase
Freeport junior Cole Hepler finished with one goal and four assists in five games for Team Pittsburgh in the boys portion of the eight-team America's Showcase. Only three players from Team Pittsburgh, a Showcase finalist, had more points.
Tublin trade
Fox Chapel senior Josh Tublin knows better than to call Andrew Tublin, a sophomore, his "little" brother.
The brothers are big reasons why Fox Chapel boys volleyball might challenge for a spot in the WPIAL Class AAA finals and a PIAA tournament berth.
Josh Tublin is a 6-foot Ohio State recruit who earned All-WPIAL second-team honors as an outside hitter last season.
He moved back to his natural position, libero, this spring. His justification: 6-foot-2 Andrew Tublin can handle those offensive responsibilities.
The younger Tublin, who missed last season with a stress fracture in his back, ranks among the team's kill leaders.
"It's funny, because Andrew is not the type of kid who gets super pumped up after a kill, and I'll jump up and down and give him a huge hug. He'll just be like, 'OK.' He's that type of kid," said Josh Tublin, who added that their older brother, Daniel, a 6-8 redshirt sophomore outside hitter at Stanford, is a high-energy player.
"I'm calmer, but if something is going well, I can get excited," Andrew Tublin said. "I think (Josh) would rather see me shine than himself, which is cool."

Property Description
For the first time in over twenty years, the opportunity has arisen to own one of the most special and treasured ranches in all of Central Texas. A truly remarkable and rare find one hour from downtown Austin, the Twin Creeks Ranch near Marble Falls is a Live Water Paradise.

London, Jan 31 (ANI): Erection-withering ointments made from mouse droppings are just some of the bizarre facts included in 'The Joy of Sexus: Lust, Love, and Longing in the Ancient World', which reveals the wild, weird and at times barbaric sex of the Greco-Roman eras.
Its author Vicki Leon, 70, who is a self-described "historical detective", said that she was shocked when she started investigating how people celebrated love and lust more than 2,000 years ago, the Daily Mail reported.
She writes on The Huffington Post: "No one back then identified as hetero or gay or bisexual. They readily admitted to a rainbow of sensual pleasures - guilt-free."
As she started researching in more detail she discovered a plethora of things that men and women in the First century A.D. were obsessed with.
To get an insight into ancient Roman life Leon traveled more than 6,000 miles from California to Italy where she spoke with experts, studied artifacts and visited archeological sites.
In her new book there are dozens of chapters touching on sexual attitudes and behaviors in times past.
On the subject of breadstick dildos she said that it began in a bakery B.C., where a gal with time on her hands started fooling around with bread dough.
"While lasciviously daydreaming, she created an olisbo-kollix: the breadstick dildo, the sex industry's first green product. From this moment on, lonely widows in Arcadia, unsatisfied moms in Athens, and partnerless gals on Lesbos had a DIY pal, discreet and disposable," she said.
Discussing aphrodisiacs she reveals how some overly virile men actually needed reverse Viagra to "cool their jets".
Some of the stranger remedies included an ointment made from mouse droppings and large helpings of lettuce.
Leon said that the most-skin crawling sexual antics she came across were those of the Emperor Tiberius - who invited young children to entertain him at his palace on the isle of Capri. (ANI)


text: Good evening, I just switched over to the Hero from a blackberry curve. Is there any easy way to find out which applications are running in the background? I go to manage applications and then I try to sort by running but I see no order of which apps are running and the only ones I know that are running are the ones that say force quit. Is this correct? If so, is there any other way to easily find out which apps are running. Is there a way to sort them and be able to find the running applications without having to manually clicking on each app? I have tons of things on this thing and it takes forever to do this. I am trying to speed up the performance of my phone. Thank you for any answers.

Ian Stark's rescue horses thriving in new jobs
Ponies who were among dozens rounded up in Scotland and rehomed by World Horse Welfare in 2001 are thriving in their new jobs for eventing legend Ian Stark.
For the roundup of the nearly 100 ponies on a remote farm in Dallas, Morayshire, World Horse Welfare teamed up with HorseBack UK, the Royal Marines and the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies.
In the above video, Stark explains the circumstances behind the roundup and how the ponies in his care are doing now.
The operation in May 2011 evolved after World Horse Welfare met an elderly farmer who had concerns about his Highland-type horses and ponies and realised help was needed to rescue them.
The herd of stallions, mares and foals had for many years been increasing in size due to uncontrolled breeding, and were running over more than 1000.
The horses and ponies which had naturally separated in different herd groups were rounded up in just two days by eight World Horse Welfare staff who were on foot, 14 Royal Marines, as well as six HorseBack UK representatives who were riding their own horses.
Each herd group was rounded up starting with those nearest to the farmhouse and then driven into a corral and a 'race' which had been constructed in the weeks before the operation. Each horse was sedated and microchipped; the mares and foals were then separated into a different field to the stallions which were then castrated by surgeons and student vets.
The vets dealt with any medical problems, sedated some for hoof trimming, wormed and microchipped the horses as well as providing passports for all of the animals.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/5/2014 (1182 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Six firms join forces
Smith Carter Architects and Engineers has a new name -- Architecture49.
Five other architecture firms across the country are also part of the newly branded national entity. The six members are all part of WSP Global Inc. (Last year, Genivar Inc. changed its name to WSP Global.)
The six legacy firms -- Smith Carter, Arcop, AE Consultants, North 46, PBK and WHW Architects -- all officially became Architecture49 on Monday at their 13 offices from St. John's to Vancouver. The 135-person Winnipeg office -- which also includes some of WSP's engineering-division employees -- will headquarter the 300-person architectural practice.
"It was very difficult to market with disparate brands," said Heather Smith, the national director of business development. "We took a couple of years to work through it together."
Smith said the name, which alludes to the 49th parallel, is intended to underline the Canadian-ness of the firm.
Smith Carter's offices in Atlanta and Washington had previously been rebranded as WSP Lab Planning.
Smith Carter was acquired by WSP (then called Genivar) in 2012.
Growers file rail complaint
The Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) has filed a level of service complaint against the country's two national railways over the backlog in grain shipments this year in Western Canada.
The association said Monday the complaint to the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) was filed under Sections 113 to 116 of the Canada Transport Act, which states the railways shall provide "adequate and suitable" accommodation for all traffic presented to it for carriage.
"The breakdown of the Western Canadian rail transportation system this year is completely unacceptable for grain producers," said CCGA president Brett Halstead, who is a farmer from Nokomis, Sask.
"Ultimately, it is farmers who are bearing the cost of this supply chain failure."
The complaint is against Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway. The association said the CTA will investigate and issue a determination within 120 days of receiving the complaint.

CHICAGO (Dow Jones)--Fund buying and supportive cash hog prices catapulted CME hogs to new contract highs Monday.
Lean hogs began the post-Easter holiday session on a strong note, lifted by Friday's modest wholesale pork carcass price increase. And some packers Monday paid as much as $3 per hundredweight more for cash hogs than they did late last week.
The prospect of fewer hogs because of a normal seasonal dip in numbers, along with the likelihood of increased pork interest tied to grilling, contributed to front months' runup to fresh contract highs.
Meanwhile, spreaders bought April and sold June and October. And, some traders bought lean hogs and sold live cattle on spreads. Spreads involve trading two or more months at the same time while taking advantage of price differences among them.
Nearby-April hogs closed up 2.10 cents a pound, or 2.8%, at 76.22 cents. Most-actively traded June ended 1.67 cents higher, or 2.0%, at 85.05 cents.
CME pork bellies ended up sharply on spillover buying in the adjacent hog pit. May and July bellies triggered pre-placed buy orders after both months surpassed recent highs on their way to fresh contract highs.
Traders await CME's weekly belly storage report that will be available on Tuesday after 5 p.m. EDT.
Spot-May pork bellies closed 1.82 cents higher, or 1.9%, at 98.52 cents. July finished 1.00 cents higher, or 1.0% at 100.00 cents.
Cattle Complex
Live cattle at the CME settled higher on fund buying and cash cattle price confidence.
Cattle contracts rose from the start, spurred by spillover from futures' advances last Thursday. April and June climbed to two-week tops after both months moved beyond Thursday's highs.
And spreaders purchased April and sold June while others bought June and sold August. Traders marked time by working spreads while they waited for this week's cash trade to develop.
No cash-basis fed cattle bids or asking prices were reported. Cash cattle last week brought mainly $96 per hundredweight, compared to mostly $96 to $97 the week before.
Those who were supportive of futures expect no-worse-than-steady cash cattle returns this week, based on the market's positive mood Monday and still-profitable beef packer margins. There was also the notion that fed cattle might be in short supply this week following last week's rather brisk sales.
And an admitted market bull contends that, even though retail beef buying interest has sputtered lately, he sees demand picking up as more and more people focus on cooking outdoors.
Spot-April ended up 0.67 cent a pound, or 0.7%, at 97.32 cents. Nearby-June also closed up 0.67 cent, or 0.7%, at 94.20 cents.
Pit-traded CME feeder cattle closed sharply higher and earlier hit fresh contract highs on live cattle's upswing. April and May feeders immediately triggered pre-placed buy orders above the market after both months surpassed recent highs.
And spreaders bought feeder cattle and sold live cattle.
Nearby-April feeders ended 2.27 cents higher, or 2.1%, at 112.65 cents. Most-actively traded May closed 1.42 cents higher, or 1.3%, at 114.12 cents.

Angel's creative path has included a strong musical background as a flautist for many years, as well as a self-taught career in live musical sound engineering for over a decade. Along with her passion for music, Angel owned and operated her own wedding consulting business, Angelbells Wedding Consulting for seven years. During that time, Angel was a member and webmaster of the (BPW) Waltham/Greater Boston chapter of the Business and Professional Women's organization. Subsequently, she volunteered her time and efforts, as the Adjutant, Associate Membership Coordinator, and staff writer of a local U.S. Marine Corps League Detachment, in support of US Troops, their families, Veterans services and a variety of community related programs.
Angel spent her childhood years in Wooster, Ohio, studied Liberal Arts, and received her degree from the University of Akron, in Akron Ohio. Shortly after, she moved to New England, where she met and married her husband Dana and they have divided their time between their home in Waltham, MA and their getaway in Old Orchard Beach, ME, as the ocean has always been a huge source of inspiration and joy.
While Angel and her husband prefer to live a very private personal life, she does not mind showcasing her professional life as an author and writer, in hopes to inspire other writers traveling along the same journey. Some people outside of the creative world may view the art of writing as a part-time endeavor or a mere recreational activity. However, for Angel, writing is much more than her passion -- it is a dream that has become a reality, it is a full-time profession, and it is a lifelong commitment to the ultimate career!

Math Department Announces Its Annual High School Math Contest Winners
Release Date:
May 2 2014
INDIANAPOLIS— Two high school seniors were awarded a full four-year academic tuition scholarship to the School of Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) as part of the annual High School Mathematics Contest. Sponsored by the Department of Mathematical Sciences, the contest concluded Saturday April 26 with an awards ceremony at Eskenazi Hall on the IUPUI campus.
First prize winners:
- Wil Pirino, 12th Grade, Avon High School. Teacher: Anthony Record
- Gregory Vaughan, 12th Grade, Home Schooled. Teacher: George Vaughan
Group award winners:
- Team Award: Avon High School. Teachers – Courtney Guth, Jeff Osterman and Anthony Record
- Spirit Award: MTI School of Knowledge. Teacher – Heba Elshakmak
Throughout Indiana, hundreds of high school students (grades 9-12) worked through a series of math problems during the early spring. These students studied patterns, analyzed relationships, drafted and refined their solutions, and finally submitted their work to the Department of Mathematical Sciences. Many high school teachers used this as an opportunity to supplement their own lesson plans and provide students with creative and competitive outlets.
Every year, the contest questions and a poster highlighting the contest theme are emailed to Indiana high schools and posted online. One question consists of an essay about an application of mathematics as it relates to the contest theme. Students work on the questions independently and mail in their solutions.
IUPUI mathematics faculty and graduate students volunteer more than 100 hours to judge all entries based on the student's method of finding the solution, correctness, and elegance of solution. Participants are invited to campus for the award ceremony in April where the following prizes are awarded: First Place (two winners): $300 and a full four-year academic tuition scholarship*; Second Place (five winners): $150 and a $2,000 scholarship*; and Third Place: (ten winners): $100 and a $2,000 scholarship*.
*In order to receive the scholarship, the winner must be directly admitted to the School of Science at IUPUI, major in any discipline in the School of Science, and attend full-time. These scholarships are renewable for four years, subject to certain requirements.

London - Rolling around in pain clutching his left shoulder, Novak Djokovic's Wimbledon hopes looked in serious jeopardy against Gilles Simon on Centre Court on Friday but he recovered to win 6-4 6-2 6-4 and reach the last 16.
Leading 3-2 in the third set the Serb was closing in on an uneventful victory against his French opponent when he stumbled and dived to reach a forehand, crashing heavily to the turf.
With the 2011 champion apparently in extreme pain and with concerned coach Boris Becker watching on, it looked as though Djokovic might not be able to continue but after walking to his chair where a trainer manipulated his shoulder, he carried on.
Despite looking a little tentative, he showed no obvious signs of discomfort and finished the job with a smash.
Djokovic will now get the weekend to recover from his fall before playing 14th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France in the fourth round.

James Franco Hears The Sound And The Fury
And he wants Jon Hamm to co-star
James Franco's driving need to work on as many projects as he can short of cloning himself might not always work for everyone – just ask the financiers behind the adaptation of The Garden Of Last Days, which he pulled out of directing recently – but it certainly means he's busy. Franco now has a plan to work on an adaptation of William Faulkner's stream-of-consciousness tale The Sound And The Fury.
It won't be the first time he's tackled the man's work: his last effort on that front, As I Lay Dying, premiered at Cannes.
Set in Mississippi in the early 20th Century, Sound tells the epic story of the Compson family, a group of Southern aristocrats who fall on hard times. Franco wants to play a main role as well as directing the script he wrote with Matt Rager, who worked with him on As I Lay Dying.
He has his eye on several co-stars already, with Jon Hamm firmly at the top of the wish list alongside likely easier scores Dave Franco (his brother) and Danny McBride (who he's worked with several times). Franco is looking to lock down the last few pieces of funding before filming can kick off, possibly by the autumn.
In the meantime, he's set to act for Wim Wenders on Every Thing Will Be Fine and has completed filming on Bukowski, Holy Land and True Story. He can currently be found on our screens in apocalypto-com This Is The End.
