When you want to show your legs a little love, these sinfully sheer stockings are pretty much perfect. These silky ten denier (French for "thread count") stocking are delectably sheer and slinky, with wide bands of gorgeous, scalloped edge lace to finish the top. Meant to be worn with a garter belt, these classics are the exact right thing to pair with your favorite suspender. Our favorite thing? Wearing them under our workaday pencil skirts when we're the only ones who know what's going on underneath.
Fit Notes
May We Recommend?
These brilliant graphic large-scale tights are what Rayanne Graff would wear if she were a successful entrepreneuress. Gorgeous, sassy, and a little bit rock'n'roll.
26.50 - 53.00
This delicious stay-up stocking, with its devilishly slender back seam, perfect no-run stretch, bold stay-up band, and classic pointed French heel make this a pin-up classic.
Starting with a classic French heel, these slinky tights puts the perfect twist on classic pin-up seaming: a sumptuous, Black-Widow inspired, vertigo-inducing backseam. Swoon.
These delicately woven ajouré stockings are an exercise in gorgeous negative space. Peek-a-boo polka dots are the perfect amount of skin to flaunt as temps drop.
With their luxe and tactile 70 denier thickness and a luscious wide waistband (comfortable enough to wear all day) these might be the perfect tights. See for yourself.
These utterly luxurious, sumptuously thick (80 denier…the French word for thread count) stockings feel like cashmere sweaters for your legs. It's chilly, haven't you earned that?
These gorgeous openwork tights are the perfect marriage of fishnet and knit. Subtly tribal and perfectly geometric, these are just right from your Louboutins to your Hasbeens.
24.00 - 48.00
These classic, sexy stay-ups, with their wide lace band and 20 denier (sheer enough to show off, strong enough to resist runs) are sort of the Goldilocks of thigh-highs.
Oh, hello pin-up, that pencil skirt just got a lot more interesting. Divinely sheer and just a bit saucy, an elegantly classic knitted back seam runs the length of the legs.
Classically stunning and totally sexy, these silky smooth sheer thigh highs have us reaching for our heels and counting down the hours until we can take off our skirt suit.
23.50 - 47.00
We've all wanted the slimming effect that control-top panty-hose gives us...
25.00 - 53.00
Under perfectly tailored workwear, these silky perfectly opaque stockings are just classic tights. Only you know that under your demure dress, you are a secret vixen.
19.60 - 28.00
With Spanx' signature shaping paneling, these lovely stockings go beyond your average control top. In fact, these matte-yarn tights are super soft and seriously fabulous.
21.50 - 43.00
Forgive us if we can't stop doing (gorgeous) high-kicks, we're pretty excited about these impeccable 30 denier stockings. They're practically perfect in every way.
A luxe interpretation of the fisnet stocking, these interlocking-knit stunners are openwork at its finest. Plenty of fish in the sea? This is how we recommend you catch them.
Though we most certainly love being naked, sometimes being just almost naked is even better. When that's our get down, we always reach for these gloriously sheer stay-ups.
With wide bands of elastic, perfectly sized fishnet, and backseam adorned with rosette appliques and openwork keyhole details these stay-up stockings are ready to party.
Hey, nice stems. The long lines of the graphic poppy detailing read like mod stripes on the leg while the beautiful blooms at thigh height can be your little secret (or not).

2003 Hyundai Sonata Q&A
2003 Hyundai Sonata Question: I'm having a problem with the charging system.
The car was working fine until a couple weeks ago. Was on my way home from a day of driving and I noticed the clock display was dimming. I turned everything off and the car got me home, but I basically had no battery left... no lights, no signals, nothing. The battery is working fine, the Alternator is working fine, and the CPU was pulled and tested and is working fine with no faults. One mechanic has already spent 2 hours checking all the wiring and can't find a problem. What is wrong with my car??? - elitediner

Answer 2
CK ALT AND SEE IF ITS CHARGING A GOOD 14.2 VOLTS - globalhelper
Answer 3
I had the smae problem this month on my 2003 Hyundai Sonota,2.7. Put 3 Alt.'s in until I found a good one. My problem would happen at speeds over 50. It seems the parts house I bought them from had a bad diode and would check good until at speed. Changed brands and works just fine now. Went with a factory model. Exspensive!!!!!!! - grnberet64
Answer 4
Did you ever find the problem? I am having exactly the same problem with my 2003 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L.I replaced all belts, alternator and a new battery. While driving, first the radio cuts off, then when you turn the ac on, the fan starts blowing slower and slower and lights dim. Did you find an answer? - TonyInFlorida

Mediation in the Brady v. NFL matter resumes Tuesday, and there will be some changes in the people present for the two parties.
For starters, NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith won't be present at the mediation, due to "a family medical emergency," per Mark Maske of the Washington Post.
Meanwhile, Albert Breer of the NFL Network reports that the NFL's negotiating team will feature Commissioner Roger Goodell, lead counsel Jeff Pash, Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, Broncos owner Pat Bowlen, and Packers CEO Mark Murphy.
Out of the owners present, only Richardson -- considered perhaps the lead negotiator for the owners -- is a holdover from last week. And it's interesting that the group heading into the second week of court-ordered mediation is in stark contrast to the group (Bob Kraft of the Pats, Clark Hunt of the Chiefs and Art Rooney of the Steelers) that was in Minnesota last week.
Jones, as you'll recall, allegedly had a bit of a confrontation with the players when the two sides mediated before George Cohen in Washington, D.C. That's not to say this will end poorly, because however the two sides act over the course of the mediation ends up reflecting on their position to Judge Susan Nelson.
And maybe it's a good thing that a new group of owners gets to see the proceedings and gauge the NFLPA's position at this point in time through an in-person experience.
Smith's absence is regrettable, certainly, but a family illness is one of the things that get you excused from almost any mediation. It probably also means that we're unlikely to see any settlement on Tuesday.
But that was likely to be the case anyway -- as our own Mike Freeman wrote recently, this second round of mediation might theoretically hold more water because it's court-ordered, but it's just about as likely to produce a happy ending to this labor dispute as the UFL is to produce football that will satisfy America come the fall.

Jack Worel, a 71-year-old Los Alamos man, was found guilty by the Los Alamos Magistrate court of stalking a former female employee of his who used to work at his cleaning company.
An eight-person jury, which included two alternates, found him guilty of misdemeanor stalking. The charge carries a maximum 364-day jail sentence and/or $1,000 fine. He is due to appear in court for sentencing at a later date.
In court, the prosecution was able to successfully convince the jury that Worel engaged in a pattern of stalking that began in 2010 and only ended on Aug. 13, 2012, when he was caught by the victim trying to install a GPS monitoring device on her car at the former DeColores restaurant on East Road. The victim, now in her late 20s, was working at the restaurant at the time.
After a two day investigation after the incident, which included visits to his house, police arrested Worel. During the investigation police also noticed a package on his doorstep containing equipment to track and monitor cell phone calls.
According to police records, their case against Worel began back in 2010 over an incident that occurred while Worel and the victim were cleaning in the URS building at 1911 Central Avenue.

For the next several weeks we'll be highlighting a book-a-day from the 25-title Best Translated Book of 2008 fiction longlist, leading up to the announcement of the 10 finalists. Click here for all previous write-ups.
2666 by Roberto Bolano, translated from the Spanish by Natasha Wimmer. (Chile, FSG)
What more is there to say about 2666? Earlier this year I claimed it was the "big book at BEA," I also have told various people that it is one of the greatest books to be published during my reading lifetime. It's gotten a ton of review attention, and was the only non-Knopf book to make the New York Times Top 10 Books of 2008 list. It's big, it's available as a three-volume paperback and in hardcover, it's ambitious, it's five novels in one, and it's on our longlist.
A simple Google search will bring you more reviews and descriptions of the book than you care to read, despite the fact that this isn't an easy book to talk about or review. (In terms of Best Translated Book panelists, both Michael Orthofer and Scott Esposito have reviewed this.) Each of the five sections is very distinct, although they link together in a sort of mind-blowing fashion. And at the center of the novel are the disturbing Ciudad Juarez murders. From the "Note to the First Edition":
In one of his many notes for 2666, Bolano indicates the existence in the work of a "hidden center," concealed beneath what might be considered the novel's "physical center." There is reason to think that this physical center is the city of Santa Teresa, faithful reflection of Ciudad Juarez, on the Mexican-U.S. border. There the five parts of the novel ultimately converge; there the crimes are committed that comprise its spectacular backdrop (and that are said by one of the novel's characters to contain "the secret of the world"). As for the "hidden center" . . . , might it not represent 2666 itself, the date upon which the whole novel rests? [. . .]
A final observation is perhaps in order here. Among Bolano's notes for 2666 there appears the single line: "The narrator of 2666 is Arturo Bolano." And elsewhere Bolano adds, with the indication "for the end of _2666_": "And that's it, friends. I've done it all, I've lived it all. If I had the strength, I'd cry. Farewell to you all, Arturo Bolano."
Earlier this month, Words Without Borders hosted a special event at Idlewild books with Natasha Wimmer (the translator of 2666) and novelist Francisco Goldman (who, I believe, was the first person to turn Barbara Epler of New Directions onto Bolano). Sounds like the event was spectacular, at least according to these two write-ups:
I think I could have listened to Francisco Goldman tell stories all night long, despite the heat raditating from over a hundred of us standing, eager Bolaño fans at Idlewild Bookstore Thursday night. While Goldman and Bolaño had never met – indeed, Goldman had not read Bolaño until shortly after his death – he effused passion for the subject of the night's talk and channeled their many mutual friends and admirers for a surprisingly intimate look an author who is taking on the near mythical status he's had for some time now outside of the U.S. [From Bud Parr's report for Words Without Borders
And, one of the most important details from Scott Bryan Wilson's write up at Conversational Reading
Goldman pronounced the title "Two-six-six-six," perhaps emphasizing the Number of the Beast association, while Wimmer opted for the lengthier but seemingly more correct "Twenty-six-sixty-six.
What's even better is that both Natasha Wimmer and Francisco Goldman wrote essays for this event (click above names for both) that are quite interesting. Here's a nice section from Francisco's piece that's also a good note to end on:
Bolaño drew from reality in his fiction, and from his own life, yet his fiction is not really realist. His fiction pointed away from reality, and certainly away from mundane political or moral interpretations of reality, towards something else—poetry, open-endedness, a kind of philosophical and tragicomic shock; his fiction always opens "new paths," as Bolaño said of Borges's writing. And it is partly this mysterious, radical quality, sometimes even a quality of epic parable (someone in 2666, Amalfitano maybe, says something along the lines of "if you could solve the mystery of the murders of women in Santa Teresa, you'd decipher the meaning of evil in our time") that makes his writing seem more kin to the spirit of Borges and even Kafka than to other Latin American writers he also admired, such as Lezama, Onetti, Cortazar, or Bioy.
Founded in 1960 by such creative pioneers as George Perec, Raymond Queneau and Italo Calvino, the Oulipo, shorthand for Ouvroir de littérature potentielle, came about in when a group of writers and mathematicians sought constraints to find new structures and. . .
There's little to say about a series of prose poems that willfully refuse to identify pronoun antecedents. Or perhaps there are a million things. The poems in Morse, My Deaf Friend— the chapbook by Miloš Djurdjević published by Ugly Duckling. . .
The Crimson Thread of Abandon is the first collection of short fiction available in English by the prolific Japanese writer and all-around avant-garde trickster Terayama Shūji, who died in 1983 at the age of 47. This collection would be important. . .
Last year, NYRB Classics introduced English-language readers to Catalan writer Josep Pla with Peter Bush's translation of The Gray Notebook. In that book, Pla wrote about life in Spain during an influenza outbreak soon after World War I, when. . .
"Your bile is stagnant, you see sorrow in everything, you are drenched in melancholy," my friend the doctor said.
bq. "Isn't melancholy something from previous centuries? Isn't some vaccine against it yet, hasn't medicine taken care of it yet?" I. . .
What to make of Vano and Niko, the English translation of Erlom Akhvlediani's work of the same name, as well as the two other short books that comprise a sort of trilogy? Quick searches will inform the curious reader that. . .
The opening of Jón Gnarr's novel/memoir The Indian is a playful bit of extravagant ego, telling the traditional story of creation, where the "Let there be light!" moment is also the moment of his birth on January 2nd, 1967. Then. . .
Mahasweta Devi is not only one of the most prolific Bengali authors, but she's also an important activist. In fact, for Devi, the two seem to go together. As you can probably tell from the titles, she writes about women. . .
The prolific Spanish author Benito Pérez Galdós wrote his short novel, Tristana, during the closing years of the nineteenth century, a time when very few options were available to women of limited financial means who did not want a husband.. . .
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .

Rated 5 out of 5�by Pat the shooter They do thier job the best! I use this product in my M4A1 AEG which is 370 fps. It eats up ammo so 5000 bbs is good for me. They fly straight and far. They are very accurate at nearly any range. I have yet to try them in windy conditions. The white color helps me see where they are going. These may be a bit harder to load into an AEG high-cap with only your fingers. But still great. I am yet to find one of the bbs deformed. I recommend these for spring and AEGs that are 290-390 fps(Only a guess). For the price, this is a great bang for your buck! You won't regret buying these. April 3, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5�by bob the awesomenesssss! AWESOME!! Hits the target everytime! BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!! September 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Norten best crosman bb's these bb's have never jamed my gun. they work awesome in the pulse R76. October 22, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by BUSTER BILL Great product! Not the best packaging! THIS PRODUCT WAS A GOOD VALUE! THIS AMMO WORKS GREAT IN MY CO2 AIRSOFT PISTOL! IT DOESN'T MAKE THE GUN JAM AND THE ACCURACY SEEMS TO BE THERE! I AM SHOOTING INTO A METAL TRAP AND MORE OFTEN THEN NOT THE BBs BREAK INTO PIECES RATHER THAN RICOSHET! MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET THE BBs OUT OF THE PACKAGE WITHOUT SPILLING THEM! YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE COVER OFF COMPLETELY TO DISPENSE THEM! IT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL IF THIS WAS NOT THE CASE! I HAVE SEEN OTHER PACKAGING WITH A SMALL SPOUT! IT WOULD NICE IF THEY MAKE A CHANGE! THAT SAID,I WOULD DEFINITELY PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT AGAIN! February 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Dats it Great product Have been very pleased with the product . I would recommend it to anyone. April 29, 2014

When students are actively engaged in the formative assessment process and have an opportunity to self-assess their work or determine the degree to which they have fulfilled a specific learning goal, their ability to self-regulate their learning and behavior is enhanced (Harlen and Deakin-Crick, 2004). Thus, tools that allow students to participate in the formative assessment process can be effective in enhancing self-regulation, critical reflection and student engagement. These skills are essential to the development of independent, 21st century learners.
Twenty-first century assessment strategies emphasize the importance of
21st Century Assessment ResourcesThe following resources can be used to implement a variety of 21st century assessment strategies by using technology to move beyond simply documenting the end result of student learning and instead use the latest innovations to support the learning process by facilitating assessment for learning and assessment as learning.

I think a few of these added to the Minuteman Kit would be ideal for a cache supply.
- Benefits & Description
Benefits & Description10 Year Shelf-Life | Just Add Water | 15 Servings
• Great For 72 Hour Kits
Be prepared with your emergency food storage. By placing these pouches in your 72 hour kits so you will have food covered for that critical time. • Get the Taste and Nutrition You Need
These Mountain House meals contain up to 14 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber per serving • Don't Waste Your Valuable Time
There is no cooking necessary! Just add water and enjoy. • Versatile and Convenient
The stand-up pouch doubles as cookware and a dish so there is little clean up. It's not enough to have an emergency kit if you don't have any food. These three Mountain House meals are easy to prepare and taste great. With their slim profile it's not only perfect for emergencies, but also for backpacking/camping trips as well! Just heat up some water, pour directly inside the pouch, and in a few minutes you have a complete meal—no dishes required! Make sure your emergency kits include easy to prepare food such as these Mountain House pouches.
Just think of the comfort a supply of tasty and filling emergency foods will be to your family during a disaster. Mountain House freeze-dried pouches only require water before they are ready to eat and have a 5-10 year shelf life so there is no worry of spoiled foods. Don't wait until it's too late to prepare--adding our Add On Kit to your survival bag is one step closer to peace of mind in the midst of a storm.
The Mountain House brand is a Gold Taste Award winner for the quality ingredients and fresh taste of their freeze-dried meals. Unlike other companies, Mountain House prepares, cooks, and freeze-dries their food themselves. This freeze-dry process offers many advantages over dehydrating because it retains the taste, texture, and shape of fresh frozen foods. Freeze-drying locks in the freshness, vitamins, nutrients, color and aroma of your meals. This is why Mountain House is able to consistently rate #1 year after year.
All the contents of a Mountain House pouch are freeze dried to allow for a 10 year shelf life. Mountain House has also tested the pouches 30 years after the manufacture date and they were still good to eat and safe.

This is Luna. She's a pit bull. But she's also quite possibly the world's happiest and sweetest friend. And she's one of the more than 70,000 beloved family pets that The Pongo Fund has saved. Because our volunteer-driven and award winning organization was there for her, and for all of them, when they needed us most. During the toughest of times when they were hungry. And at risk of being surrendered to area shelters. Simply because their own families were temporarily unable to keep them fed.
That was it. For lack of a bowl of kibble they were one step away from being euthanized. Not because they were unwanted or unloved. Because they were hungry.
Be they single moms, veterans, seniors, your grandmother, the hard-working but underemployed, proud grandfathers, the disabled, senior citizens, the unemployed, the neighbors next door and anyone else in honest need, we are here for them when they have nowhere else to turn. Because hungry people have hungry pets.
During the past five years we've provided more than 7,000,000 premium quality meals for more than 70,000 animals. But not just in Portland, Oregon. We've also met the need in dozens of other cities that received food thanks to our volunteer team of Kibble Couriers.
We do this work in a way not done anywhere else. And shelter statistics throughout our community show that what we do is working. Keeping family pets safe at home and out of the shelters.
And that's why we've become a national model for new ways to help both people and their pets simultaneously.
Best Friends Animals Society, one of America's most admired organizations, said this about The Pongo Fund: "The best way to reduce shelter populations is to keep animals out of the shelters to begin with. The Pongo Fund has developed that very program. They're doing something innovative in Portland that's making a huge difference."
But that's not all. We've also been instrumental in facilitating the Spay/Neuter of more than 1,000 family pets.
Quite simply, The Pongo Fund gives a chance to animals that might not otherwise have a chance and gives hope to families that have little else to be hopeful for. Because sometimes a simple bowl of kibble is the force that both keeps a family together and saves the lives of the animals they love.
Sit. Stay. Eat. Live. thepongofund.org
Getting Earl and Pearl to stay still long enough for a photo was my challenge. Because they wanted to give kisses and get pets. But it's nothing compared to their challenges. The challenges they face every day. Because for Earl and Pearl and their Dad Kirby, clean sheets, soft pillows and hot showers are far-away dreams when you're living on the street. Far more important things take precedence. A dry place to sleep. Shoes and socks. Prayers. Dog food.
Some people have been down on their luck for so long that just a little bit of luck seems like a jackpot. Because the challenges that you and I face just fade away for someone living on the streets. They don't complain about their $6.00 coffee drink being made wrong. Or the traffic on the way to work. Or the slow internet connection. They don't sweat it. They just hope to survive.
But the things you and I take for granted are their daily struggles. Yet they still find a way to navigate those struggles with grace. While we may pop dinner in the oven and sit in a comfy chair in front of the TV, their dinner line may be two hours long.
And then finding that the person just in front of them may have received the last serving of their favorite mashed potatoes. The very person that was having an even worse day so they carefully let them cut in front of them in line. But they look ahead.
Because maybe tomorrow they will get the coveted mashed potatoes.
We crossed paths with Earl and Pearl and Kirby during a Pop-Up Pongo. One of those days when we head out into the community and spend some time reconnecting with the most fragile people living outdoors. We go armed with high-quality food for both people and pets. Sleeping bags. Towels. Socks. Collars. Leashes. Coats for two and four-legged alike. And always, always, always lots of smiles.
The people we meet are deeply appreciative. They say we're a blessing. Taking only what they desperately need and leaving the rest for the next person. Because they know the next person may have it even worse. But what really sets the tone is the joy when we hand someone a bag of dog or cat food.
But Kirby was different. When I asked if he needed dog food he politely said he likely would not want our food. Because he was very specific about the food he fed Earl and Pearl. I asked what kind of food he was feeding and he took a step closer to me and said in a soft tone as if he were sharing a special secret, "I only use the Pongo dog food. Because that's the best."
And I about fell over.
Because he had no idea I was part of The Pongo Fund. And that I may have even delivered the last bag of kibble he picked up at one of the many food pantries that we provide kibble to. He didn't know that because he'd never been to our pet food bank in person. And my Pongo tshirt was covered by another shirt.
Rather, he thought I was someone offering him food he did not want. And he was most graciously saying thank you, but no thank you. Because his dogs were his life. And he would not risk feeding them low quality food.
I then opened my outer shirt, happily displaying the Pongo logo on my tshirt underneath. Kirby stepped back for just a second and said "YOU work with Pongo?" And I said yes. And then I said not only do I work with them, but Pongo was my dog.
In a split second this gracious man who loved his dogs more than anything had to clear his throat. The words still did not come. He then cleared it a second time and said "Thank you. You've saved us many times."
And then he turned to the incredibly happy and well-cared for Earl and Pearl and said "That's where your food comes from. Pongo was his dog!"
I then needed to clear my throat a couple of times too. All because of the blessing of a bag of dog food.
Remembering to count our blessings may be the best blessing of all. And today was a reminder of those blessings. Because today is when we met Earl, Pearl and Kirby.
And this is why we Pongo.
He approached the garbage can outside the store in a way that told me he had done it many times before. Gently pulling the lid to the side and peeking inside, seeking the treasure he would redeem a nickel at a time.
But this particular garbage can was messy. The lid was askew and there was garbage on the ground outside the can. It wasn't pretty.
I was stopped at a red light and watched it happen. Lid off. Peek inside. Lid on again. I could quickly see by the man's actions that this can held no treasure.
Yet when he was finished he didn't just walk away. Instead he bent down and picked up the loose garbage and placed it inside the can. And then he made sure the lid was on straight and secure when he was finished.
And then he and his best friend rolled off, having left this little piece of the world in better shape than they found it.
But before I saw any of that, what I saw was the dog. A sweet boy riding around in a shopping cart. That's what first caught my eye.
At the next block I caught up with them, parked and said hello. His name was Tim; he's the one on his knees behind the cart. And inside the cart riding like royalty was nine-month old Ted. They'd been together since Ted was a tiny 6 weeks old.
This happened in Portland, Oregon. But it could have been anywhere. But luckily it was in Portland. Because The Pongo Fund was there to help.
On the road with a dream to get back home to Iowa. But not too fast. First they were going to visit some old friends and make some new ones. And then they'd hit the road for the highway home.
I asked if Ted needed food and Tim said they would be honored. And when he opened his Oregon Public Broadcasting logo satchel to put the food inside, what I saw was a meticulously organized bag filled with Ted's supplies. Food and more food. Water bowl. Extra leash. Vet records. It would have made every organizing expert proud.
And the best part? The food they already had was our Pongo food. Food they'd received earlier from one of the many other groups that we provide food to.
We talked for a few moments but what I really wanted to know was more about Ted and the shopping cart. Because I wanted to make sure that he was ok.
And that's when Tim gave me a funny look. Like maybe I'd asked a question that I should not have asked. Like maybe there was something hidden inside the cart that Ted was sitting on to keep it hidden. But I was wrong.
Because at that moment Tim reached down and pushed on and lifted and fluffed the assorted goods that Ted was sitting on to show me how cushy and comfortable it was for Ted. And at that same moment Ted turned his head backward and gave Tim a smooch. But that wasn't all.
Because Tim then went on to say that it was way too hot for him to let Ted walk on the already scorching sidewalk. Kindly explaining to me that a dog's paws are no different than our own bare feet. Further explaining how easily a dog's paws can become burned and how painful that would be and how we need to remember if it's too hot for us then it's surely too hot for them.
He then said his own feet were hot and he was wearing shoes. And there was just no way he'd let Ted burn his paws on these hot days. And upon hearing that I broke into the biggest grin because it was just what I wanted to hear.
A man living his life in a way that surely was not always easy. Yet making sure along the way that his dog had it easier.
But Tim wasn't a large man, and Ted weighed a good 65 pounds. Meaning that getting Ted into that cart could not be easy. And I asked him about that; how he gets Ted into and out of the cart?
And he looked at me again with his easy smile, and said "we do it together."
Tim and Ted. Ted and Tim. On the road together. Fueled by The Pongo Fund.
This sweet creampuff is Luna. A four-year-old pitbull that's known far more than her share of tough times. But not anymore. Because her life today is filled with love. And that's why she never stops wagging her tail. Wag. Wag. Wag. Hi! My Name Is Luna and I'm A Happy Girl. Wag. Wag. Wag. I Must Wiggle My Butt and Dance. Wag. Wag. Wag. I Must Kiss Your Face. Wag. Wag. Wag.
But without The Pongo Fund Luna's tail would not be wagging. And there would be no more dancing. Because without The Pongo Fund, Luna would be going hungry. And worse.
In many other communities across the country, dogs like Luna don't have a chance. But thanks to The Pongo Fund, things are different in Portland. And that means when Luna's family found her but could not afford all of her needed care, The Pongo Fund worked to get her spayed and vaccinated. And we continue to be here for her during those times when her family is temporarily unable to afford all of the food to keep her fed.
Today Luna is happy and healthy and loved. She has a wonderful home and a family that loves her. A family that she loves very much in return.
Luna is just one of the many hundreds of beloved pitbulls that have been helped by The Pongo Fund. They are alive today because we were here to help them when they had nowhere else to turn.
Helping Luna and tens of thousands more family pets just like her. Keeping them safe at home and out of the shelters. That's the work we do. And your generous contributions keep us going. Because the truth is, we're all in this together.
Peace. Love. Kibble. thepongofund.org
It was back in January when we began the year with puppies in a box. There were four of them, all little girls just a few weeks old. Tucked tight next to their exhausted Mom Freya. A Mom that was only 14 months old. Really still just a puppy herself. All were living inside a small cardboard box, the property of a homeless couple that took them along as they stood on a bridge onramp asking for money. And sometimes they got loose and ran onto the bridge as cars zoomed by. That is where we found them. They were filthy and hungry and sad.
But the sad stories were quickly left behind as all received full vet exams, vaccinations and were spayed. And each one of those puppies found new homes. And so did Freya. She now leads a life of luxury, spending her days going on long walks and eating like a queen. She goes to daycare, gets massage, plays with BFF's and has more beds and blankets than anyone can possibly count. She hit the jackpot. But so did her new Mom. Because Freya is awesome!
Your donations for the Freya Scholarship Fund helped us provide the lifesaving care this little family needed. Food, medical and more. And thanks to you they're all doing fantastic. Just take a look at the photo of Freya, sunning in her backyard. A real backyard. Not a cardboard box. From where she was to where she is…it's a world of difference. Doesn't every animal deserve that?
We've quietly rescued many more since then. And our Freya Fund is now depleted. Please consider a donation to help us build that fund back up so we can continue to step in and save the lives of those little innocents when they need us most. Because you know they would do it for you. Even better, every single Global Giving donation until December 31 will be matched by a generous Pongo donor. Won't you please help?

Mariah Carey + Nick Cannon Renew Their Vows
Congrats to Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon! The happy couple renewed their wedding vows in Paris on Friday to commemorate their upcoming fourth anniversary this Monday (April 30). Too cute!
Congrats to Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon! The happy couple renewed their wedding vows in Paris on Friday to commemorate their upcoming fourth anniversary this Monday (April 30). Too cute!
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg will have company on stage at their 'Coachella 2012' performance, as Nate Dogg will join them from beyond the grave.
Mariah Carey sat down with some real life 'Jenny Craig' women to shoot a promo video for the program.
She also used the chance to show off her post baby body, and claims that she has lost 30lbs since the birth of her twins.
More than a year after the birth of her twins, Mariah Carey made her first trip back on stage.
It was a quick, intimate performance that only featured around 50 tickets released to the public!
Like the entire world, Mariah Carey's heart has been heavy in the past couple of weeks as she continues to mourn the loss of her friend and musical icon, Whitney Houston.
Mariah Carey made a rare public appearance this week on 'Good Morning America', and there was plenty to talk about.
With the death of her friend Whitney Houston, Nick Cannon's health troubles and her new music, it's easy to forget that she still has twin babies at home!
Mariah and Robin Roberts managed to touch on all of the those subjects and more though.
According to some shady gossip blogs, Simon Cowell might be trying to make a power play to boost next years 'X-Factor'.
He reportedly offered Beyonce $500 Million dollars to be a judge on the show for the next five years.
Mariah Carey wants her fans to know that she is committed to getting back to work.
That's why the video of her and Jermaine Dupri in the studio has popped up online.
Watch Mariah prove that she is no tech wiz, among other things in the video.
Nick Cannon honored his devoted wife, Mariah Carey, at the BET Honors on Saturday night (Jan. 14). It was Cannon's his first appearance since being hospitalized for kidney failure — and he even brought "dem babies" along for the ride.
Nick Cannon, who was being treated at an Aspen, Colo. hospital for mild kidney failure this week, tweeted an update from the hospital. The husband of Mariah Carey recently posted: "Currently being transfered to a hospital in LA. Thank you all for all your love, prayers and concern. You know me… I will be a'ight."
Nick Cannon and wife Mariah Carey were vacationing in Aspen, Colorado with their twins when Nick Cannon was sent to the hospital. The media mogul suffered 'mild kidney failure' while vacationing and had to be sent to the hospital.
When Brangelina's twins were born, the couple was paid like a bazillion dollars — actually $12 million — for the first images. Brad and Angelina promptly donated the money to charity, with Angelina Jolie saying she did so in order to control where the images ended up and how. It was a savvy mother-protecting-her-cubs move.
But, if you are hoping to shell out a few bucks for an issue of PEOPLE or USWeekly or any other celeb tabloid to "ooh" and "ahh" over Beyonce and Jay-Z's yet-to-be-born, hotly contested Babyonce, hope again, folks.


text: TheHDRoom: "Aliens: Colonial Marines is not a great game. Actually, it's a stretch to call it a good game. I'm most comfortable in labeling it a "decent" game. Sure, it has it's moments, but taken as a whole, it is very evident that the developers, Gearbox Software and Time Gate Studios, either didn't care, or were too rushed to create what could have been a masterpiece of a licensed Sci-Fi shooter. Now, with seven years since the announcement, and five years since the first screenshots, it is really hard to say that Aliens: Colonial Marines was a "rushed game." So, questions arise as to what went wrong, and why?" 5/10

Yes, John brings a very well-thought-out perspective, and his thoughts are important. However, this forum should not be trying to put people into categories. I believe that every successful artist and/or business person is charged with defining themselves. Then living up to their own standards with integrity. No one gets to decide that for anyone else. All of us who are seeking income from our work fall somewhere between art and manufacturing. It doesn't matter where. The differing points of view are great! I think many art communities (online and otherwise) suffer from a lack of differing perspectives, sheltering themselves to their own detriment. I don't want anyone to leave this forum because they felt like they were being categorized.
I've always found John Baymore to have the most insightful perspective on this subject. And he expresses without putting the less than art less than 100% handmade down. I really think he should establish some classification scheme. He should put us all into categories. Lots to be learned from different groups but a classification would facilitate that. I would like to know exactly where I fit into all of this.
Although I do think it's appropriate to use the term "Baymore standard." But what I understood about John's words is that the Baymore standard is not about the degree of handmade-ness. It means "do things the way you think is right, then be honest about it to your customers."
