Naturally enough, the rate of rebound for New Orleans' population is slower than it was in the earlier years after the devastation of hurricanes Katrina and Rita and the flooding of the greater part of the city. Yet if it is slower, it's still growing.
We welcome this news and look forward to much more growth in the future.
The nonprofit Data Center — formerly the Greater New Orleans Community Data Center — reported on the updated demographic information about the city's growth nine years after the horrific storms of 2005.
The number of households receiving mail in the city grew by 1.2 percent between June 2013 and June 2014, the data center's figures show. That compares with a growth rate of 1.6 percent in the previous year, 2.5 percent in the year before that and 5.2 percent in the year before that.
An annual growth rate of 1.2 percent, though down sharply from recent years, still keeps New Orleans among America's fastest-growing cities, according to Allison Plyer, the center's executive director.
"The growth we had in the years after Katrina was astronomical because we were starting with such a small base," Plyer said. "But our growth now is actually really strong relative to other cities."
We think it's better news that the growth is attributable to both returning residents and newcomers.
In Plyer's view, at least some of the influx is the result of a relatively strong economy that is less dependent on post-Katrina rebuilding than it was in the immediate post-storm years, which could suggest the growth won't stop anytime soon.
Demographer Greg Rigamer agreed with that assessment, saying, "We clearly have some new people coming here, as well as many people coming back. It really is a combination of the two."
As Rigamer noted, there is a trend toward urban living that has nationally drawn more people into cities where commutes are shorter and walkable neighborhoods are easier to find. That is perhaps in part why, post-Katrina, the centrally located and less-damaged neighborhoods were the first to rebound; now, the Data Center report said, growth is faster in suburban sections of town harder hit by floodwaters.
By the group's count, there are now nearly 180,000 households receiving mail in New Orleans — 88 percent of the pre-Katrina total. That figure squares pretty closely with the most recent figures from the U.S. Census Bureau, which estimated the city's population in July 2013 at 378,715. That's 83 percent of the pre-Katrina estimate of 454,865.
For the city, that's good news, but it's also good for the metropolitan area and the state. New Orleans can and should be a more dynamic economic and social driver for Louisiana; for decades before Katrina, the city's future was a question mark and not an exclamation point.
We like the positive trends on city growth, and may they roll on like the Mississippi toward a broader base for the city's future.

Product Review: Weller LED soldering iron
Many of us own soldering irons or soldering guns. In fact, I have two Weller soldering guns that have incandescent bulbs to illuminate the work area. But, these lights tend to shine on a wide area. My two soldering irons (also Weller), have no lights at all.
Enter Weller's new SP 25 Series LED soldering irons. Three LEDs light your work area, making it easier for those of us who need a few extra lumens to see what we're soldering.
Available in four models - 15W, 25W, 60W, and 80W - these soldering irons will handle just about any job. I tried the 25W version, model SP25NK. See photos below, then see the video of the soldering iron in action.
I received a complete soldering kit that included the iron, two other tips, solder, and a handling tool. The solder was shinier than I'm used to seeing, which tells me that it's lead free. I also got a metal stand to minimize the risk of the hot tip touching the wrong things and burning them. All models are available as soldering irons only, with the 25W and 40W version available in kit form.
A pointed tip - good for soldering on boards - came attached to the iron. For soldering a wire to a switch (see video), I used the smaller of the two flat tips. It provided more surface area for heating the switch contact than the pointed tip. The photo below shows the iron and its tips.
Next, it was time to try the iron and its LEDs. Plugging in the iron, I could see three white LEDs. The next photo shows the LEDs. Don't be fooled, they're bright, as you'll soon see.
I decided to try soldering a wire to a pushbutton switch. Although my work area has a nice LED task light, I turned it off to get the full effect of the soldering iron's LEDs. Room lights were behind me, which created shadows and made the work area quite dark. The next photo shows how well the work area illuminates with the LEDs.
The LEDs really work; they provide plenty of light for soldering in dark places. That can be very useful in making a connection or replacing a part on a board that's mounted in an enclosure.
According to Weller's website, the soldering irons are available through Amazon and Home Depot. Amazon price: $17.38 for the 25W soldering iron kit. That's well worth it if, like me, you need a little extra light on your solder.
Finally, here's a video demonstrating the soldering iron in use:

Does your child(ren) have alone with daddy time?
Since I had my wisdom tooth out this week I've taken some pretty strong pain killers before bed, which has meant that if Charlie wakes up in the middle of the night, he's on dad's watch. Of course daddy has done an outstanding job, he always does. But it make me wonder about the dynamics of other households. Do your kids have time set aside for them and their fathers? I'm not talking about divorced families where dad's have visitation.
My daughter will spend time with her daddy every now and then but we don't have anything "set". Sometimes he'll take her to run errands with him other times I leave her with him while I go out really quick. Sadly his work schedule doesn't allow for more.
I can understand that. I guess "set" was the wrong term. It's not like Charlie and his dad have a date at 5pm every day.. haha. I was just curious if kids nowadays spend time with mom, and separate time with dad, and time with both too? Or of it's just kind of "whatever we can swing" situation.
No, not like a designated time, but they do have some good father son time together. Maybe he'll go to the store with dad or play video games with dad (just watching of course lol.) Or if mommy is extra tired, hurt for some reason or working, then they have time together. Otherwise the 3 of us are almost always together. We get good mommy son time when dad's at work. :)
I love hearing that! As traditional as I am, I think that it's important for Charlie to go get dirty in the garage and get away from mom for a bit since he's with me all day long.
I'm dyin. It hurts bad but I think it's normal still so... just still doing the rinsing and the medications and hoping it gets better soon. Thanks for asking Debi.
My husband likes to spend quality time with the kids. He tries to set aside alone time with each child every week.

I have since cakes that look like a slice of cake is it a pan if not how is it done? can some tell me. thanks sammie
I've not seen a pan. I'm pretty sure it's just a slice of cake.
The only time I've seen something like this they had made it out of rice krispies and they just molded it to shap - didn't use a pan.
I sliced a piece out of the cakes. The covered them with fondant. I pieced the fondant so that the edges would be straight. It's actually very easy.
or take a single layer cake...
cut into fourths (wedge style)
fill and stack for a tall cake slice cake.
Wow Doug, brilliant! I must have misunderstood the question... oops!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
The guy I was dating agreed to pay for the termination of my pregnancy after I find out that he had a pregnant girlfriend , He agreed verbally and I also have text messages of him agreeing to make those arrangements , as from today I haven't heard anything from him , I'm suffering from stress due to this , and at the same time I ended up taking care of the bill myself ........ Do I have a case plz help ......
Yes, for breach of the contract to pay for the abortion. Contracts can be oral, as well as "implied in fact" by the parties' conduct. If you had a contract for him to pay for your abortion and he breached, you can sue him for that - not for the emotional distress of having another pregnant girlfriend or being a jerk to you. You'll prove your case through your test messages and oral testimony, and his breach by showing your payment for the abortion, and tha'ts all you need.
He's getting off cheap --you could have chosen to keep the child and make his liable for child support payments for 18 years.
Maybe you won't have to sue him. Before doing that, send him a demand letter for amount they owe you by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by FedEx or by registered email (www.rPost.com). That way they know you're serious and you'll be able to prove their receipt. Warn them that once you sue, the lawsuit becomes a matter of public record, and give them a firm deadline, 2 or 3 days from their receipt of your letter, to pay you or you'll have to sue them in Small Claims court. If they don't pay you by your deadline, follow through and sue.
Avvo doesn't pay us for these responses, and I'm not your lawyer just because I answer this question or respond to any follow-up comments. If you want to hire me, please contact me. Otherwise, please don't expect a further response. We need an actual written agreement to form an attorney-client relationship.

What You Said: Have You Fallen in Love at First Sight?
Have you ever glanced across a room and stopped on someone who literally took your breath away? This guy didn't just make you weak in the knees. He had you standing there, open-mouthed, puppy-dog-eyed, picturing your wedding day, first born child and golden anniversary. Some would call that love at first sight. A new study at Syracuse University suggests that it that it takes less than one second for someone to fall in love, meaning love at first sight is not just some myth, but really possible. We asked our Facebook friends if they've ever fallen hard in an instant. Here are their stories... Here's what you had to say: Koffee commented via Facebook: "Love at first sight is very rare but when it happens it feels really good!" Brittany wrote via Facebook: "I believe in lust at first sight."

Last night I drunk texted a guy I have hooked up with a couple times and he was texting me back, but pointed out how drunk I was. He said be was sober and was staying in that night. I told him to come get me and he said just to come there if I want. I think I fell asleep then because I didn't text back and woke up in my room. I apologized for texting him in the first place and for not responding to his last text. I also said I'm sure he didn't want me to come anyway cause I was way too drunk. He texted back right away but all he said was "it's ok". Should I take it that he isn't interested? 2 nights ago he came to my room at 4 am and we just slept, he didn't try to do anything with me and then gave me a kiss in the morning. We haven't had sex, our hookups have been just making out although he has tried to make them go further.
Could he like me or should I take this as he isn't interested?

He probably didn't want to possibly be called out for rape if you were drunk and things had gotten to that point. If he likes you in that way it was probably best to keep you away while you can't think straight.00|00|0

Comments about Black & Decker 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven:
Lots of features, cook, bake, broil. Cooks by convection heat.
Even Heating
Cooks by convection heat, very even. Everything we've cooked was evenly done.
Standard safety features. Standard timer. Manual says to unplug when not in use.
Ease of Cleaning
All accessories are removable, manual says to wash in the sink. Can be washed in the dishwasher, but discoloring will occur.
Not sure yet. We own multiple B&D products and have not been disappointed.
We bought the larger unit, thinking that it will serve as a replacement for our oven during summer months (not heating the house). It takes up more counter space, and you need to move it away from the wall (3-4 inches) because it gets very warm.
Comments about Black & Decker 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven:
I bought this for my parents and they absolutely love it! This is not just a typical toaster oven, it also can be used to bake certain things and heat up like an actual oven. This is one of the cheapest toaster ovens that can do many things. I have been using this for more than 5 to 6 years and it still heats up pretty good. This toaster oven comes with a tray that can easily be cleaned and wont mess up the toaster oven. There are two layers that the bracket can be set to; bottom and center. The main problems I have with this toaster is that it doesn't heat up as quickly as I would think. For the oven use, of course you have to preheat but for the toasting, its best to preheat to fully toast your food. Another problem is that it doesn't have a safety lock so any children can easily open this toaster oven but when you do open the toaster oven, it auto shuts off. This toaster also consumes a lot of power so try to separate hooking it up with your actual microwave oven. Overall, I think this toaster oven is pretty good for its price.
Comments about Black & Decker 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven:
this is the best toaster i have ever bought! When i come home from work, i need something quick but good. This toaster oven does that for me. I can broil nachos, grilled vegetables, sandwiches, etc. or reheat leftovers... I have even used this toaster as a little oven to make cakes and cookies!! With my previous toasters, i have had issues with quality and even-baking. This is the best toaster ive had thus far... it has a nice look and i dont mind the fact that it is relatively large because i consider it more of a mini-oven. Sure, you can get a cheaper oven but you get what you pay for. I like the way it is easy to clean... the crumbs tray comes out compltely snd smoothly. Overall, i would say if you want a GOOD oven and not just a "toaster" then this is the purchase for you!
Comments about Black & Decker 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven:
The CTO4500S has had the best mix of reliable cooking and user-friendly interface I've yet had in a toaster oven. I also have had the Black & Decker 6301 which I would consider nearly identical in terms of its cooking results, which I also reviewed, but it had an annoying interface that I have never gotten accustomed to. Hence, I've now moved on and primarily use the CTO4500S at this point, since cooking is just as good. To reiterate from my other review, I do not typically put large foods in the toaster oven, so I can not claim to know how it fairs on its ability to cook through larger foods including the 12" pizzas touted on the front of the glass, but for the everyday smaller quantity of foods, (on bake and broil) does a fantastic job and would easily lead me to believe it is fully capable of cooking the larger foods, especially with using the convection function.
Where this oven does excel relative to the 6301 is that it uses a more traditional temperature/cook type interface that lets me control it the way I want, and not be pressed to use pre-sets that do not match the food I am cooking. No longer does every button (since they're dials) make a beep with every thing I need to change occur, so it is less of an ear-sore.
Because of the improvements in interface, this reliable toaster oven is my top pick and is fully recommended.
Comments about Black & Decker 6-Slice Convection Toaster Oven:
We use this oven for everything. It has exceeded our expectations. Its innovative pizza bump at the back of the oven allows it to accomodate a 12" pizza, while minimizing its footprint, allowing it to fit in tight spaces. The pizza bump also allows a streamlined design that cuts out excessive bulkiness, heaviness, and clumsiness. The non-stick coating on the oven walls make it extremely easy to clean. Its convection feature allows food to bake evenly. The utimate test for us is how well it bakes a pizza, and it does an excellent job--as well as our conventional oven without the expense--with a pizza stone. Its timer, temperature setter, and function (baking, broiling, etc.) setter meet or exceed our needs. The oven door also springs back into a tight seal. The crumb tray also makes the oven easy to clean. Compared to other ovens with the same features, it offers greater value for less money.

Retail POS Technology Transformation High on the Agenda for Top Retailers: Study
Point-of-sale (POS) efficiencies and total cost of ownership are increasingly becoming the focus of cost-conscious retailers, according to a recent study from the Aberdeen Group.
Point-of-sale (POS) efficiencies and total cost of ownership are increasingly becoming the focus of cost-conscious retailers, according to a recent study from the Aberdeen Group.
"Top-performing retailers are establishing highly specific implementations cost criteria plans, as well as short- and long-term benefit lifespan analysis when managing the technology supplier selection process," said Sahir Anand, chief author and retail research director at Boston-based Aberdeen. "Besides rapid configuration and integration with other systems, one of the ways to justify continued spend on POS is to convert it into a marketing tool that increases customer traffic into stores."
According to the report, "POS to Profits: Reviving Best-in-Class Sales and Service in Retail Stores," 73 percent of retailers rate themselves below, or at best sub-par, on their current point-of-service or POS capabilities. The research from Aberdeen, a Harte-Hanks Co., details the business benefits derived from upgraded POS performance and cost optimization."
According to Aberdeen data, as a means to augment POS performance with an eye on costs, the industry's top-performing retailers are more than twice as likely as all others to consider modular improvements, deployment, and ongoing service costs as key criteria for POS upgrades. In addition, the growing list of options to upgrade POS operations, such as data management, help desk support, feedback management, rapid response and ongoing software management, top-performing retailers seek to understand how these capability upgrades will benefit the organization, both currently or in three, five or 10 years.
The study found that 66 percent of top-performing retailers are focusing on the POS as a marketing tool to justify the TCO behind the next phase of technology improvements. To achieve this objective, Aberdeen has found that these retailers are negotiating two major challenges. First, these companies overcome the hurdle of developing an internal mandate and agreement among teams involving store operations, marketing, merchandising and IT, so as to enable such improvements in a rapid manner. Second, any modular improvement at the POS must guarantee secure corresponding data management processes.
"These challenges notwithstanding, converting POS into an effective consumer marketing tool at an affordable cost that continues to provide a sustained level of customer focus is a dream come true for any c-level executive in retail," says Greg Belkin, co-author and research analyst at Aberdeen.

To succeed in business, going 'green' is a competitive advantage
LaserNetworks provides steps for businesses to reduce costs and be better environmental stewards
ONTARIO – Jan. 2008 – Good business practices embrace environmental
responsibility. In fact, a recent article published by the National
Post, suggested that for businesses to succeed in this era,
environmental stewardship is not an option, it's a must.For many
companies, the motivation to get started exists but questions about
feasibility and profitability loom large bringing caution and
hesitation about implementing changes. At first glance, it seems
difficult for a business to become environmentally responsible and
maintain financial viability."The task of becoming a good environmental
steward is large, but manageable if broken down into small steps that
are easy to navigate," says Chris Stoate, President of LaserNetworks®,
Canada's leading print solutions company. "Making the environment a
priority with a clear and comprehensive environmental strategy is a
good place to start."
From their beginning in 1987,
LaserNetworks® has modeled environmental responsibility and has had the
objective to give customers the flexibility to make
environmentally-friendly choices that reduce environmental impact and
carbon footprint.As Canada's leading print solutions company, providing
environmentally friendly print solution services and products to
virtually every sized company across Canada and continental USA
including Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, major chartered
banks, and large law firms, LaserNetworks® is proof that companies can
be both environmentally responsible and profitable."One easy step for
organizations is to look at their large volume consumables, such as
paper and toner, and consider the reduction possibilities," says Chris
Stoate. "For example, LaserNetworks® has recently decided to
exclusively offer the REFLEXION brand of remanufactured toner
cartridges because they're known to reduce the carbon footprint by 74
per cent – a small change that brings substantial environmental impact
and at less cost than regular toner."
Approximately 97 per cent
of the combined components (plastic, metal, rubber, paper, foam, and
toner) in the toner cartridge can be recycled. If it isn't, the
plastic, made of engineering-grade polymers, takes at least 1,000 years
to decompose.A study by PE International showed that REFLEXION toner
cartridges reduce CO2 emissions by 74 per cent, global warming by 76
per cent, ozone depletion by 72 per cent, and provide energy savings of
70 per cent."We're excited about being able to offer clients desiring
to be better corporate stewards, a product such as REFLEXION that does
so much to preserve our environment," says Chris Stoate. "Environmental
reductions such as these are an example of the small, simple steps
companies can take, to become better environmental stewards – a small
step perhaps, but multiplied by the number of businesses in North
America, the significance is huge."

Thinking of becoming a lawyer? Attending law school in Canada? Finally-it's here-the guidebook you've been waiting for. Every year, an estimated 10,000-15,000 people apply to 16 Canadian law schools, vying for just over 2000 coveted spots. The competition is even fiercer when applying for a job as an articling student. Adam Letourneau, B.Sc., B.A., LL.B., a graduate of the University of Alberta Faculty of Law, and former Editor-in-Chief of the Alberta Law Review, reveals many insider tips on how to gain admittance to law school, how to cope and succeed in law school, and most importantly, how to land a coveted job post-graduation. Drawing upon personal experience and the experiences of numerous other Canadian law students, Letourneau shares general insights on the LSAT, applying for law school, study strategies, summer jobs, the articling application process and much more, along with plenty of context-specific information for the Canadian law student. Because the Canadian law school experience is unique, this book is the only full source of relevant information available to prospective and current Canadian law students. Letourneau will save you hours of research, hours of study and tons of stress. Recommended to all students interested in law school, all students applying to law school and to students in all three years of law school.

These bushings are prone to failure on high mileage Subarus. These bushings are full-floating and non-binding which is important when ride height is altered or greater suspension load is required and can withstand all the abuse you throw at them. They help maintain proper alignment for your car, especially under extreme driving conditions! These are a must for lowered cars and are vital to cars with larger than stock wheels where the stock rubber bushings will not cut it.FITMENT:Subaru WRX 2002-2006

It is easy to see that yoga students could approach their disciplines in a manner that is motivated by an aim to physically master each of the classical Asanas. But this is only the beginning.
The system of Asanas was developed through understanding that the attitudes of the body affects the mind just as a mental attitude reflects in the physical stance or position assumed. Body language is well accepted now in fresh awareness of an ancient rule.

Before long, Olivia is going to be making the move to a big girl bed. I've been looking at our options, and I am absolutely in love with the Jenny Lind bed from The Land of Nod. It reminds me of my bed growing up, and it would look adorable with a colorful little quilt. The only problem? They're freaking expensive! Call me crazy, but I'd prefer not to drop $550 on a kid's bed.
So I set out to see if I could find a cheaper knock-off version, and you'll never guess what store delivered … Walmart! And for $300 less than the nearly identical Land of Nod version! Granted, the Land of Nod beds come in fun colors, but it's nothing an afternoon and a can of spray paint can't achieve.
What do you think, pretty good right?!
Now to find a cute quilt!

What Happens to Submissions after the Limit or Quota is Reached?Asked by lsedor on October 30, 2014 at 09:56 AM
I have 3 jot forms on my website. In total they exceeded 100 submissions in a month. My question is if someone's form is number 101 in a particular month, what happens to that data and subsequent submissions?
I went to my website and successfully submitted a jot form but it doesn't show up in my reports. Will it be sent to me on the 1st of the month, or did I just lose that submission???
JotForm Support
If you reached the submission limit, all of your forms will be temporarily deactivated or disabled, this includes your access to your account. You will need to upgrade to have access again or you can wait for the quota or limit reset, which happens every 1st day of the next month.
Regarding the concern, all filled out forms that were successfully submitted and received will stay in your account, this means submission 101 to 106 is still intact.
Thank you.
Thanks Charlie!

You are most welcome.

Jill Stein teamed up with Hillary Clinton over the weekend to demand a recount in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Now, Donald Trump has responded by filing an objection to Stein's recount in Michigan, indicating that he is getting a bit nervous about this.
Politicus USA reported that the Michigan Secretary of State announced that Trump's lawyers have filed an objection in the following statement:
The Michigan Bureau of Elections today received an objection from representatives of Donald J. Trump regarding the presidential election recount that was filed yesterday by Green Party nominee Jill Stein.
Under Michigan law, the recount is halted when the Board of State Canvassers resolves the objection. The board, which by law must resolve the complaint within five days, is scheduled to consider resolution of the objection tomorrow, Dec. 2. If the objection is not adopted by the board, the recount can commence after the second business day following the board's decision. If the board adopts the objection, the recount would be ended.
A copy of the objection is available online.
Because the objection was received, the recount activity that was scheduled to begin on Friday in Ingham and Oakland counties, and over the weekend in other counties has been postponed.
Trump listed three objections to the recount, the first being that Stein wasn't aggrieved by the election results. Secondly, he said the recount can't happen because would prevent Michigan's electoral college votes from being counted, and third, Trump claims that Stein's application was never signed and sworn properly.
The fact that Trump is even taking the time to try and stop Stein shows that he is nervous that her recount movement has gone too far. We can only hope that this is not an indication that Stein may actually win this and put Clinton in the White House…
What do you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

|Re: [jira] Commented: (DERBY-106) HashJoinStrategy leads to java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
|Tue, 21 Dec 2004 03:20:28 GMT
I'm inclined to think that there is still a problem lurking here also. I'm still trying to work through which JoinStrategy is actually being used, NestedLoopJoinStrategy or HashJoinStrategy. It appears that the HashJoinStrategy is being used. Since the default maxMemoryPerTable setting is 1MB per table does this mean the default setting is being applied to decide NOT to use the NestedLoopJoinStrategy? I'm trying to follow the logic of this code and so far it appears that the join strategies are evaluated in the order that they appear in the JoinStrategy array and that the first strategy accepted is the one used. This would appear to indicate that the optimizer is rejecting a NestedLoopJoinStrategy because the table is too big (i.e. larger than the 1MB default). Since the table is larger than 1MB and removing the HashJoinStrategy option allows the query to run then the NestedLoopJoin is being successful and the optimizer is guessing wrong. We still need to work out whether the property setting is being used properly by the optimizer. Intuitively, 1MB does not sound like much memory to me but I don't have any metrics to know how much memory some of these queries typically use in Derby. /** Property name for controlling the maximum size of memory (in KB) the optimizer can use for each table. If an access path takes memory larger than that size for a table, the access path is skipped. Default is 1024 (KB). */ String MAX_MEMORY_PER_TABLE = "derby.language.maxMemoryPerTable"; ----- Original Message ----- From: "Suresh Thalamati" <email@example.com> To: "Derby Development" <firstname.lastname@example.com> Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 6:20 PM Subject: Re: [jira] Commented: (DERBY-106) HashJoinStrategy leads to java.lang.OutOfMemoryError > Gerald Khin (JIRA) wrote: > > > [ http://nagoya.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-106?page=comments#action_56877 ] > > > >Gerald Khin commented on DERBY-106: > >----------------------------------- > > > >The system property derby.language.maxMemoryPerTable is the system property I asked for.

They Help A Homeless Pit Bull Mother, But What They Discover Under The House SHOCKED Them.
Thanks for the swift action taken by the family under whose house they were found. These homeowners took the right step to action by calling for the assistance of a local animal shelter, Hope for Paws. This organization is known to rescue pets (dogs) that are exposed to one harsh situation or the other. The quick intervention of the rescue team from Hope for Paws is also remarkable. They came to location right on time and took the freely roaming puppies to the shelter after rescuing them from under the house
While these puppies have been taken to the shelter, proper medication and provision necessary for their steady growth is been administered to them as they have been nursed back to health. They are now looking more cute and shiny as proper pups do.
However, the story is not yet finished. These pups certainly have a mother who we hope she is still alive and should be searching for her young. You cannot explain how happy she would be when she reunites with her babies. What a blissful reunion!

Kristen Stewart Plays "Whisper Challenge" With Jimmy Fallon – Watch 'Tonight Show' Video
Kristen Stewart was on Tuesday's "Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" to talk about her award-winning role in Clouds of Sils Maria and to play "The Whisper Challenge." See the video below.
Stewart first discussed her film Clouds of Sils Maria, and how she won a Cesar Award for for Best Supporting Actress. She noted how she was the first American actress ever to win what is France's equivalent of an Oscar.
As Gossip Cop has been reporting, Stewart keeps collecting awards for her performance in Cloud of Sils Maria. On Monday, she picked up the Best Supporting Actress award from the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, and on Sunday, Stewart was awarded Best Supporting Actress by the National Society of Film Critics.
Like her previous appearances on the "Tonight Show," once again Fallon made Stewart play a game. This time, the two played "The Whisper Challenge" in which one contestant wore a set of headphones with loud music playing, while the other read a random phrase off a card. The person with the headphones then had to guess what the other person was saying. Stewart, while wearing the headphones with the blaring music, had a hard time understanding Fallon when he read off a card, "Say Hello To My Little Friend." Instead, she said a few words that had to be bleeped.
Incredibly, Fallon somehow or another knew Stewart had said, "How Much Wood Would A Woodchuck Chuck If A Woodchuck Could Chuck Wood." Stewart fared a little better when Fallon read, "Kung Fu Panda." At first, she thought he said, "Call the fruit back," but then she guessed the right phrase. Fallon also didn't struggle too hard when Stewart had him guess, "Alright, Alright, Alright."
Last year, Stewart played "Ring Around The Nosy," in which she and Fallon wore plastic elephant masks and had to scoop up rings with just their mask's trunks. And this past summer when Stewart was a guest, she played "Word Blurt." The premise of that game was Stewart and Fallon each looked at cards with words on them, and had to blurt out the first thing on their minds to see how closely they thought alike.
Check out the video below of Kristen Stewart talking about Cloud of Sils Maria and playing "The Whisper Challenge" on the "Tonight Show."

 Chapter One
 The scream tore through the building like a pregnant nun on her way to confession. It bounced off the walls, rattled the windows, and woke up everyone in the neighborhood.
 Ed Lowry plummeted a hundred feet before he made any noise. The fire escape on the twentieth floor was two hundred feet off the ground, so accelerating at thirty-two feet per second squared, he was falling at nearly forty miles an hour and covered half the distance to the ground before he grasped the real gravity of his situation.
 It was probably the sight of the penguin that jolted him back to reality and knocked some air back into his lungs.
 The penguin was a sculpture, rising up from a fountain that sat dead center inside the main courtyard of Golden Towers Apartments. Baby penguins nestled on either side of the mommy penguin, who had her head back, beak pointed triumphantly toward the heavens. A soaring symbol of the strength and nobility of motherhood, carved lovingly in marble and bronze. It was conical, shiny, and sharp as a mother's tongue.
 Ed realized he wasn't merely going to hit the driveway, but was headed straight for the penguins. He let loose a scream that could wake the dead, though it didn't stop Ed from joining their ranks.
 He twisted in midair and struck the penguin back-first with a sickening, wet noise that one witness described as the sound of a whale being dropped from a skyscraper. Ed didn't look much like a whale when it was all said and done, but he was skewered like a fish by the upraised beak of the penguin. Blood flowed down the marble body of the mother penguin, pooling at the feet of her young, turning the water of the fountain a deep wine red.
 Sam McGowan was on the twentieth floor when it happened, so he wasn't too surprised the cops wanted to talk to him. After all, he'd been a cop himself. He'd worried that he would miss the job when he retired, but so far life as a civilian was full of surprises. Like your landlord taking a header off the top floor of your building.
 Sam's first day of retirement, and already they wanted him back on the job.

 Chapter Two
 Sam could feel his balls getting squeezed and didn't like the sensation one bit. They weren't caught in a vise, but the gentle pressure of guilt was gripping each testicle like a hand and making him squirm. After more than two decades as a cop, he was finding it hard to say no to a fellow officer.
 "I told you, Rodriguez, I'm retired," he said for what must have been the fifth time.
 The man sitting across from him said nothing, just looked at him with those cop eyes. Unreadable, totally devoid of emotion. For Sam it was like looking in the mirror.
 Sam shook his head and pushed himself out of his chair. It was a worn leather recliner, set at an angle so you could face the TV in the corner or the person sitting on the couch to your right. Marie had always spread out on the couch, one pillow under her head, another for her feet, while Sam changed channels and told her about his day.
 Sam blinked away the memory and looked down at his uninvited guest. "You want something to drink?"
 Danny Rodriguez started to shake his head, then checked his watch before saying, "What've you got?"
 Sam walked past the short counter into the kitchen, which was really part of the same room, separated by a change in the overhead lighting and the sudden disappearance of the carpet. Sam's head disappeared behind the counter as he bent down to examine the contents of the refrigerator.
 "Orange Juice, iced tea, and Rolling Rock," he called. "And tap water and ice cubes."
 Rodriguez didn't take long to decide. "Rolling Rock."
 Sam grabbed two bottles, twisted the caps, and handed one over before reclaiming his chair. The room was large, almost twenty by twenty. The wall behind Rodriguez was made entirely of glass, two sliding doors leading to a short balcony. Tonight you couldn't see anything besides a layer of fog against the night sky, but during the day Sam had one of the best views in San Francisco, an unbroken vista from the Bay Bridge all the way to Alcatraz.
 "This is a nice place, Sam." Rodriguez raised the beer in acknowledgement before taking a long swig. "Marie do the decorating?"
 Sam nodded but didn't say anything.
 "She was a good lady," said Rodriguez, raising his beer.
 "The best," replied Sam, tilting his own green bottle in acknowledgment but not really inclined to get into it. Almost two years, and still he forgot sometimes that Marie was gone. He'd known other people who had lost someone to cancer, but it always seemed like they had time to prepare. What did they say in the movies? Get your affairs in order. Marie came home from her doctor with the news, and three months later she was gone. So sudden it was as if she'd gone on a trip. Sam still woke in the middle of the night, convinced he'd heard her keys in the front door.
 He blinked, realizing Rodriguez was saying something.
 "Great location, just a couple blocks from the Ferry Building, in the heart of downtown, connected to the shopping center next door by pedestrian bridges. Must set you back a bit each month, no?"
 Sam shrugged. He couldn't really afford it on his pension but their savings and Marie's insurance made it possible. Besides, he wasn't ready to move yet. "Rent's not as bad as you'd think. The place has amazing views, but it's old. Almost thirty years now. Newer buildings have gone up in the neighborhood, the views just as good. And the landlord, Ed, hasn't done much to keep it renovated. Always said he would, but never seemed to get around to it."
 "Guess he won't be getting around to anything," said Rodriguez. "'cept maybe an interview with Saint Peter."
 "Going to be a short interview."
 "Yeah?" Rodriguez sat up a little straighter on the couch. "This guy was an asshole?"
 "Your cards are showing, Danny."
 Rodriguez held up his hands, the half-empty beer still clutched in his right. "I'm off-duty, remember? Just asking."
 Sam took a drink, watching his old friend over the upraised bottle. He nodded as he swallowed.
 "The first month we knew Marie had cancer, she got really weak, really fast." Sam's eyes turned dark with the memory, his wife unable to lift a carton of milk. "And the front doors to this building are as heavy as anchors, the springs really old. I practically threw my shoulder out just opening the door, and Marie couldn't budge them but an inch or two."
 "So you talked to Ed?"
 "Right, we said something to the landlord. Turns out, a lot of other people had, too, over the years. There's plenty of older people living here, some over eighty, and they'd all complained about the doors."
 "What did the guy do?"
 "Said he'd think about it."
 "Think about it?"
 "How about that?" Sam nodded. "We ask again a week later, and he says it would be cost-prohibitive, and there's no obligation on his part unless the city makes it a requirement."
 "He know Marie was a lawyer?"
 "Don't think he cared." Sam frowned. "He knew tenant law, and he wasn't going to spend a dime unless someone forced him to, and who's got enough money, let alone time to take a guy to court over a door?" That was the one thing he and Marie didn't have enough of, time.
 Rodriguez leaned forward. "But did Mister Ed know you were a cop?"
 Sam smiled, but his eyes were hard. "He found out."
 "You get rough?"
 "Nah." Sam shook his head. "He wasn't worth it. But I did call the local precinct and have his car towed, every day for a week. I heard they scratched it some."
 Rodriguez laughed.
 "By accident, of course."
 "Guess he fixed the doors?"
 "Yeah, he got around to it," replied Sam, his smile fading. That was a good week, in the midst of everything happening with Marie. At least he felt like he was doing something. That had been the hardest part, being useless, unable to change or control a damn thing. "Made me real popular with the old ladies around here."
 "I'll bet." Rodriguez smiled. "But you were always popular with the ladies, Sam. You could always get them talking, anyway."
 Sam grinned. "I'm a sensitive guy, Danny, you know that." He looked at a wall clock before he added, "Anything else you want to know?"
 Rodriguez drained his beer but didn't get up to leave. Sam sighed inwardly. The cop dance. But who's leading?
 Rodriguez spread his arms across the back of the couch. "So I guess he won't be missed, huh?"
 Sam fetched two more beers, handed one across the coffee table. "You're relentless, you know that?"
 "He piss off anyone else?" asked Rodriguez. "More recently?"
 Sam shrugged. "Couldn't tell you, but I doubt he was on anyone's Christmas card list, not if they lived here. I heard there were at least three lawsuits against him."
 "What for?"
 "Don't know, really—Marie had asked around. Small Claims Court, I think. Refusing to return deposits to people moving out, that sort of thing. Chickenshit stuff."
 "But you're not sure?"
 Sam shook his head. "Nope."
 "You talk to your neighbors much?"
 Sam hesitated. "What, you mean about Ed's little swan dive?"
 Rodriguez shook his head. "No, I mean ever. How well do you know your neighbors, the other folks living on this floor?"
 "What do you think, Danny?"
 "Not at all, huh?"
 It was what you'd expect from a cop. Sam kept odd hours, leaving for work in the middle of the night, coming home and sleeping while everyone else went to work. Homicide wasn't a nine-to-five job, and it wasn't conducive to casual banter in the elevator. Sam didn't take it personally. Nobody feels comfortable around cops, even the innocent. Especially when the cop in question reeks of death. Most people just nodded at the man in the rumpled suit smelling of formaldehyde.
 "Maybe they'll talk to you now," said Rodriguez. "You being retired and all."
 "Your guys didn't make the rounds?" Sam already knew the answer but wanted to see how Danny handled it.
 "'course we did," replied Rodriguez a little defensively. "Everybody was home. Everyone heard the scream, but nobody saw anything."
 "Typical."
 "That was your story, too, right?"
 Sam nodded. "Heard the scream, then yelling from the courtyard. Few minutes later, I saw the flashing lights through the window, bouncing off my ceiling. Took the elevator downstairs just as the meat truck arrived."
 "Pretty gruesome, huh?"
 Sam shrugged. "We've seen worse."
 "But not that dramatic," said Rodriguez. "Espectacular! You think the penguin happened on purpose?"
 Sam looked at his friend, feeling the pressure build, wondering when he was going to get to the point. "Danny, would you aim for the penguin, if you decided to jump?"
 "Fuck, no."
 "But?" prompted Sam.
 "But I might try for it, you know, if I was throwing the pendejo off the fire escape."
 "So that's your theory?"
 Rodriguez shrugged. "Just an idea. Not a theory yet."
 "So check it out." Sam thought, here we go.
 "How long you been retired, Sam?"
 Sam looked at his watch. "Not counting the weekend? Maybe twenty-four hours."
 Rodriguez nodded. "Right. So last time you were on the job, what was the Mayor doing?"
 "Busting our balls." Sam replied without hesitation. It was all over the papers. The new mayor of San Francisco was a press-magnet—young, good looking, and opinionated. His latest crusade for the papers was fixing the "dismal" rate of homicide closures. Never mind budget cuts that had slashed the size of the force. Forget that most of the deaths were gang-related, occurring in parts of town that the Mayor's administration had turned its back on, in terms of manpower. There were too many suspects, no help from the courts, and no witnesses. The local residents didn't trust the cops, because the force was spread too thin to have any real presence in the neighborhood. But those were cop problems, not the Mayor's.
 The press took the bait like sharks to chum, and now the police were second-guessed on every investigation, no matter what they did. They were under a microscope until a case was closed. It was a catch-22. No more funding until the closure rate improves, but without more funding, they couldn't get the manpower to work the cases they already had.
 "Si, cabron." Rodriguez nodded sagely. "Nothing has changed since you retired. Our balls are getting busted by that pretty-boy asshole, so a new case just means more pressure. And I must tell you, my friend, my balls can't take much more pressure."
 Sam shifted in his chair as the pressure got passed across the room, invisible but insistent. His friend was asking him for help, and his conscience was telling him to say yes. He drained the last of his beer.
 "You think the guy got some help," he said noncommittally. "Maybe a little push."
 Rodriguez spread his hands. "I'm just saying it's a possibility." He smiled sheepishly. "I say more than that, then I gotta write it up as a potential homicide. Start an investigation."
 "But if you leave it alone ..." Sam let his voice trail off.
 "No paperwork," said Rodriguez. "Not for me, at least. Just another jumper with second thoughts."
 "And bad aim."
 "Maybe, but I got my doubts."
 "The body tell you anything?" It was too soon for the autopsy results, but the crew at a crime scene usually had some theories before they bagged the body.
 "No, and it probably won't," replied Rodriguez. "You saw it, remember?"
 Sam nodded. The penguin hadn't left much evidence. As thorough as the guys in the meat truck had been, he suspected there were still bits and pieces of Ed hanging off the trees and bushes in the courtyard. He eyed his empty bottle before looking Rodriguez in the eye.
 "So what exactly do you want me to do, Danny?"
 Rodriguez drank off the last of his beer and set it down on the table, leaning both elbows on his knees. "Say it was murder."
 Sam shrugged. "OK, it was murder."
 "Easy to say, right? But you and me, we know there's no case without establishing motive, right?"
 "Right."
 "But to do that, I gotta start asking questions. You know, all that cop stuff."
 Sam nodded. "And if the case is open, but you can't close It ..."
 "I'm fucked," said Rodriguez. "Even if I can't close it as a homicide because we discover the asshole jumped, I'm still fucked."
 Sam smiled at the perversity of the situation. "The mayor and the press will say you're just trying to cover up your incompetence by changing your story, claiming it was a suicide."
 "Exactamente."
 "So what do you want me to do?" Sam repeated half-heartedly. "I'm retired."
 "The guy fell from this floor," said Rodriguez. "And there're six apartments on this floor, right?"
 "Yeah, so?"
 "So that's where I'd start."
 Sam asked the question, just to hear the words. "Start what, Danny?"
 "Getting to know your neighbors."
 Sam sighed. "There's a problem with your theory."
 Rodriguez frowned. "What?"
 Sam held Danny's eyes for a long moment before answering.
 "What if I killed him?"
 For an instant Rodriguez didn't react, just stared at Sam with those cop eyes, but then his broad face broke into his trademark grin. "Then I guess it'll be a short investigation."

 Chapter Three
 Larry was wondering if he could stab his brother under the table without anyone noticing. It was only a passing thought, a spur-of-the-moment plan, abandoned as soon as the waitress brought their food, but it kept him calm just thinking about it.
 Larry's brother, Jerome, was beaming across the table, his features obscured by the steam coming off his plate.
 "Fajitas," sighed Jerome, looking like he'd just won the lottery. The plate set before him was iron, heated close to its melting point before a cornucopia of shrimp, chicken, and vegetables was dumped onto its surface. The iron plate was set in the middle of a black plastic tray divided into three sections. On the left was the guacamole and sour cream, on the right black beans and rice. There was no room for the flour tortillas, which were stuffed in a wax paper bag and dropped unceremoniously onto their basket of chips.
 "What did you say?" asked Larry testily.

rainwater harvesting
Components of a rainwater harvesting system
- Roof: the roof surface 'catches' the rain.
- Gutters & Piping: gutters are the horizontal pipes along your roof which catch the water from your roof. The piping transports harvested rainwater throughout the system.
- Leaf Filters: all entrances and exists should be covered by a leaf filter, which keeps larger debris from entering the first flush system and the main storage cistern. Additionally, leaf filters inhibit small animals or insects from entering the system.
- First Flush System: A first flush system separates the first harvested rain from each rainfall to: 1) clean your roof, and 2) ensure the rainwater that enters your main water storage is as clean as possible. It will keep dust, leaves, mud, debris, animal droppings, and potential biological organisms from entering the cistern. Water collected in a first flush system is not meant for drinking and cooking but is great for watering your garden, for instance. There are different types of first flush systems, which can be constructed with barrels, PVC piping, or other containers.
- Cistern: the cistern is the main storage for your harvested rainwater.
- Biological Treatment: Rainwater is free of chemicals, heavy metals, and minerals (like arsenic and fluoride), but it is still at risk for pathogens, bacteria and other biological contaminants. ALWAYS treat your harvested rainwater for these biological contaminants before consuming. Our ceramic water filter eliminates more than 99.9999% of bacteria and pathogens. Other options include boiling, solar/UV disinfection, chlorine, and other biological filters.
Rainwater harvesting in combination with biological treatment is a safe, healthy, and sustainable water solution.

Possible Evolutions of Investment Rate – Error Correction Models Scenarios
Starting from the basic relationship among investment, GDP and the active interest rate estimated as long-term tendency, several short-term dynamics equation are built for revealing the impact of different factors: cost of capital, foreign direct investments, labor (unemployment rate, real net wage, tax burden). The impact of the economic crisis is analyzed in relation to the changes that occur on long term in the elasticities of different factors. Scenarios are built, which allow for previsions on the possible macroeconomic evolutions. Some required economic policy measures are suggested, with the view to diminish the negative impacts of certain factors in times of economic crisis.
