text: Spike Jonze's Her is interesting from the POV that so much of its subject matter is relevant to the present. Theodore Twombley's (Joaquin Phoenix) world is set slightly in the future where instead of play station screens your living room becomes a hologram, and where you advise your computer through ear buds to check email and what's trending on your favourite websites. Not a stretch - people talk into their Bluetooth today. Socially the values of the present seem very much the same, with talk denigrating carbs and Theodore complimented for his metrosexual (i.e., female) values. Los Angeles also is dominated by Asians to such an extent that English takes second place on signs. But other things don't seem so real. The cityscape looks like Shanghai, an agglomeration of alienating high rises and unlimited concrete. I thought we were moving to a more decentralized and "green" world. This is a trap filmmakers fall into. Jonze didn't have to use skyscrapers to reinforce anomie. But where the movie excels is the story line and superb acting. Phoenix is a standout as usual. And Scarlett Johansson as the disembodied computer voice is as real as if you could see her on screen, which is the point. Twombley falls in love with Samantha, the voice of his new operating system. (Get ready for the future, folks, when software will have enough intelligence to mimic real persons with thoughts and feelings.) Twombley, recently divorced, lonely and disconnected, warms to this virtual person who seems to like and understand him. Their love affair is believable. The story takes the present version of dating a few notches further. We can already date through websites and have our first connections by text messaging. And there have always been physical objects to substitute for the real. But Samantha is also jealous and even dispatches a real person Isabella (Portia Doubleday) as a surrogate to improve their relationship. Otherwise she acts exactly like someone in a real love affair with all the sweet talk, sexual sighs, and insecure moments of any paramour. In the end the sadness stems from the fact this object of desire cannot be real. She breaks down and tells Theodore she has 641 lovers just like him.

The most important decision you need to consider when building your custom is choosing the right builder. Find a builder you can work with; one that will bring life to your dream home.
Here are ways to help you get the best service provider in the field:
Do your research
If you're not sure where to start looking for a builder, try browsing for portfolios within your area. Ask around – just as you would when you're speed dating. Words of mouth can be a great way to learn about local builders. Talk to anyone you know who had their homes built and make a list of potential candidates for your perusal.
Focus on the quality of work
Your homes will be your place for many years. It will be your place of respite, your family's abode, and when you're old, your retirement home. You will be receiving loved ones, friends, and guests and celebrating many of your life's important milestones. It is very important to make sure your home can stand the tales and times.
Find out more about a builder's previous projects and check testimonials from clients using a parship dating app and the like. You may also want to consider looking into the quality of the materials they use. High-quality products give a solid foundation on your home.
Give importance to clarity and transparency
One good measure of a great partnership is transparency. Your potential builder must be able to talk you through anything that's going on in your home. They will be happy to answer your queries and give you a timeline and comprehensive estimates.
They will tell you any useful information, such as the materials they are using and any other problems that may arise while building your abode. Avoid contractors who do not value this critical character when working with clients. The last thing you'd want to happen is dealing with questionable trades for your home.
Ask Questions
When in doubt, seek for answers.
Working on your dream home project can stir anxieties and frustrations, especially if this is your first time building one. This is a huge investment and you don't want anything on this project to go south.
Speak up when you have any concerns, even if you think you're asking the most ridiculous questions such as having to get into a city tour bike. A good builder will be open to discuss any matter and educate clients along the way.
Building a custom home is not easy. It can be a tricky and rocky road, but working with Donna Lynne Legacy Subdivision Custom Homes can make that road as smooth as possible. If you need help with your dream home, call us.
Be an informed client. Read more tips on our tech blog.

In her article, Estrich notes that although workers' comp isn't specifically addressed in the ACA, universal healthcare will likely have several indirect impacts on the industry.

So President Obama, after three years of hiding his long form birth certificate, finally produces it. That he did this today, of all days, makes me scratch my head.
I mean what was the big mystery? Does it take Donald Trump to make Obama do what he should have done years ago? And why today? The very same day that FED Chairman Bernanke is making the first ever televised press conference with government approved reporters asking softball questions? Weird.
I am listening to Ben now. I will say this. He is full of shit but at least he communicates that bullshit and misdirection clearly- unlike Alan Greenspan.
Transitory inflation. Bernanke says it will go away on it's own. The Bernank had nothing to say about our weak dollar other than saying a strong dollar is good. That's the kind of deep insight one would expect from an MIT grad.
Bernank also said that the FED would keep low interest rates and that they are going to end QE2 on June 30 without tapering it down. He believes financial markets will come to the rescue. That is where Ben gets delusional. That's the shit I can't wait to see. Who's gonna buy our debt when the entire purchasing world is broke and we have no plan to pay off our debt? I wanna see what kind of idiots are going to accept a 4% yield for treasuries issued by an essentially bankrupt country.
I can't wait to see that. The three biggest holders of our debt are China, Japan, and England. Two of those countries are broke or crippled and the third wants to usurp the United States' status. I just don't see China investing heavily in the U.S. At any level. Including dumping two trillion federal reserve notes.
The Bernank did state one truthful thing. He said they can't do anything about high oil prices. He said that... despite Turbotax Timmy Geithner's statement a few months ago... that the FED has a great deal of experience dealing with high oil prices. The inference of course, was that the FED has some magic bullet they can fire to bring oil prices down. More BS from the Treasury Secretary.
Gold and silver making huge upside moves. All in all, this has been a very interesting day. Still evaluating and mining the blogosphere for additional information.
Everything great in the world is done by neurotics; they alone founded our religions and created our masterpieces. ~Marcel Proust

Ahhh! You mean he didn't stick his foot in his mouth even once? I really disappointed.
I guess the falling dollar he caused has nothing to do with oil,and gas ad commodity prices. Imagine that!
He probably made a deal with the bankers that they will now use their excess reserves to buy bonds. You think?

I thought he held his party line and rhetoric perfectly. And yes Jim, Primary Dealers- Banks- the recipients of unused QE3/POMO dollars are the only ones who could buy refinanced treasuries.

A single vineyard bottling - typically made from Corvina, Rondinella, Cabernet Franc and supporting varieties - the Ca' del Merlo is aged for seven years before bottling.
It undergoes a second fermentation in contact with the lees of Quintarelli's Amarone, in the Italian tradition of Ripasso, thereby utilising byproducts of the legendary latter to add a layer of complexity to the already high-quality base wine.
Located in the heart of the Valpolicella district of Veneto, Quintarelli is a renowned family wine estate with a near cult-like status. Founder and patriarch the late Giuseppe Quintarelli was known as the 'Master of the Veneto'. He built his reputation by crafting small quantities of top quality wine made to the highest standards of perfection and released only when ready to drink. Since his death in 2012, the family continue to carry on his remarkable legacy. The grapes are meticulously selected in the vineyards often requiring many passes to obtain only the best, perfectly ripened fruit. Quintarelli wines are always small in allocation, high in demand, expensive but always an exceptional experience. The estate produces an array of top-tier wines including the Bianco Secco IGT, Primofiore IGT, Valpolicella Superiore, Rosso Ca del Merlo, Recioto della Valpolicella, and an Amarone della Valpolicella widely considered to be the very best in the region.

How To: Turn a Photo From Color into Black and White For Free in 1 Minute.
Easy, just use Photoshop, right? Sure, that would be the easiest way. However, Adobe Photoshop can cost anywhere upwards of a thousand dollars, so this isn't something that just anyone can use. Most likely, you would have to be at a company, or a school, or have amassed a golden empire not unlike the master of all that is funky, MC Hammer.
This piece is not targeted to that audience. This advice is for someone without a lot of photo editing experience who wants to turn their photo into black and white both quickly and easily (and for free). Fortunately, for people like this, there is a great free online photo editor at www.picnik.com. Let's say you were MC Hammer, and you had a picture to which you had foolishly applied a golden tone, and now were taking a more artistic direction in your photography, so you wanted to convert it into a black and white photo. How could you do this quickly, easily (and free, most importantly) ?
First, go to the website (http://www.picnik.com). Click on "Get Started Now". On the home screen, click "Upload a Photo" and choose the picture that you want to edit from your computer's hard drive.
Under the "Edit" tab (it should be chosen by default) click on the "Colors" button. There should be a couple of sliding bar options that pop up. The one we're interested in is on the top, and it's labeled "Saturation." Click on the slider, and move the bar all the way to the left. Voila! It's that easy. Your picture should now be rid of any color that it previously had. Now just press "OK".
Click on the "Save & Share" tab on the right side. Choose your file name and file size, image dimensions, and file format. If all of this is too confusing, just leave all the default options as they are, and click "Save photo." This will download the newly created black and white version of your picture back to your computer.
It's that easy, and quicker than slipping into a pair of Hammer Pants. There are a ton of other cool and free photo editing tools on www.picnik.com, so feel free to look around.

The long-studied Cape Fear Crossing project has come to a halt after the N.C. Department of Transportation took it out of its upcoming long-range plan.
NCDOT will not continue planning and design work on the highway bridge project at this time, officials said in a news release Tuesday.
The decision to cross the Cape Fear Crossing project off the list was made this week as NCDOT officials were reviewing the project, said Chad Kimes, deputy division engineer with the state agency's region that includes New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick counties.
The issue with keeping the project going, Kimes said, has boiled down to funding the $1.1 billion project.
"Right now, it is impossible to fund this entire project … ," Kimes said Tuesday.
The Cape Fear Crossing project was a study to find another way over the Cape Fear River between New Hanover and Brunswick counties to improve traffic flow.
The NCDOT was considering six corridor options – down from 12 proposed routes in late 2017 -- to connect U.S. 17 and Interstate 140 in Brunswick County to U.S. 421 near the Port of Wilmington. Road improvements, upgrades and new roadways were included among the options.
Those options, which were under a public comment period this year, received criticism during public meetings from some residents on what the project could do to neighborhoods and businesses.
Officials had been expected to narrow the study down to one preferred route by the end of the year.
The decision to put the brakes on the Cape Fear Crossing project came after a new version of the draft State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP), called Prioritization 5.0, was revised last week.
When the draft STIP 5.0 plan, which covers the years 2020-29, was released Thursday, several projects were knocked off the list due to NCDOT fund balance issues tied to impacts from natural disaster responses and MAP Act settlements.
In that draft plan, nearly $21 million was set aside for Cape Fear Crossing for right-of-way acquisition and utilities.
The funding in the STIP 5.0 plan, however, wouldn't have been enough for right-of-way acquisition on the entire project, which would have been hundreds of millions of dollars, Kimes said.
"Basically, this project is a $1.1 billion-dollar project and the $21 million is nothing on this. If there would have been enough money to go out there and acquire all the right of way, then we would have continued on with the corridor [study]. But the soonest we could receive additional funding would be past 2032, and even then, it would not be a guaranteed that it would be enough," Kimes said. "Based on those facts right now, we are not going to pursue the Cape Fear Crossing project at this time."
While New Hanover County Commissioners Chairman Jonathan Barfield acknowledged some of the pushback the project received from Brunswick County residents, he said traffic needs continue to increase.
"To not have a fourth crossing [over the Cape Fear River] to me is doing a disservice to folks in Brunswick County and beyond," he said Tuesday.
Barfield, who is the longest-serving member on the board of the Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO), chaired the board back in 2010 and 2011 when the project was called the Cape Fear Skyway project.
That project went back to the drawing board after it didn't get backing from the state legislature in 2013. That's when the project was renamed the Cape Fear Crossing, Kimes said.
So far, about $11 million has been spent on the project, with nearly $5 million spent since 2013, Kimes said.
"We would be doing a disservice for the region if we don't try to make this happen," Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo said Tuesday, also pointing to future traffic issues. "You know elected officials get a lot of criticism from a lot of citizens that say we never plan for things, and here we have something that is going to be a serious problem for New Hanover and Brunswick counties if we don't have [another] crossing."
Saffo noted that funding the project has always been an issue.
And with the ever-growing interest in the region "the growth is still going happen whether we like it or not. And I would just hope at some point they will find the funding. But we are going to feel the effects of it. We are already feeling the effects of it," Saffo said.
The Cape Fear Crossing project could still be considered for future transportation improvement plans, if it is submitted by the WMPO, NCDOT officials said in Tuesday's release.
But for now with the project on hold, Kimes said the NCDOT is going to place an emphasis on upgrading existing infrastructure to address the area's ongoing traffic issues, including doing a feasibility study on what the impacts would be for replacing the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge and upgrading the bridge to either a six-lane or eight-lane bridge.
The study would be needed to put it into prioritization in a future STIP plan, which gets revised every two years, Kimes said.
"I think the focus is to look at existing infrastructure, first and, if we can make that work and identify the need for the next 20 to 30 years, that would definitely be less costly," Kimes said. "We're concentrating on existing right of way and existing infrastructure that we have to try to bring the cost down to improve the traffic in that region. We are well concerned about the traffic in that part of the area, and we will continue to pursue some type of project for the region."

Corleonis The Mystic Virgo of Nomad's Rest
Mystic is the latest puppy to join our pack. Steffanie Kennedy, his breeder, was kind enough to send me this beautiful boy from CO. I bred his mom, Reba, so he is the grandson of my RJ and nephew to Saj. He is the boldest, most self possessed puppy I have ever had! He walked right in and took over when he arrived. Aries is happy to have a new playmate but the rest of the pack would like me to send him back! He will be a lot of fun in the ring as he is a very proud little guy who will probably walk right up to the judge and put his paw out for the ribbon!! I am excited to see how this guy develops.

Visiting Villabassa in the Italian Dolomites a few months ago, it was suggested that I try cycling to Lienz in Austria. Not having cycled for many years, I was filled with trepidation at the idea of cycling 45 kms, but was persuaded to give it a go.
Alighting onto the station platform in San Candido, my companion and I immediately spotted Papin Sport with what looked like thousands of bicycles parked outside: from City Bikes to Mountain Bikes to Trekking Bikes to accessories such as canvas dog carriages on wheels.
The hire of the bicycles was €16.00 each, plus a fee of €5.00 to have them transported back to San Candido. (And you have to show your ID).
The cycling path through the beautiful countryside was no problem at all, even for me. It was warm and sunny most of the time, but quite cool in the forests where the sunshine could not penetrate.
Adding to the fun, we overtook – and were overtaken by – many of the little dog carriages, which meant that the trip to Lienz was regularly punctuated by sounds of excited whining noises.
Passing Heinfels Castle we paused for a breather.
We then continued towards Lienz until we spotted a bar, directly on the cycling path, where we stopped for a welcome lunch of bratwurst, chips and ice-cold beer.
Arriving at Lienz, after just a few hours, we headed for the railway station, where we dropped off our bikes.
They were promptly loaded onto a trailer for transporting back to San Candido by road, while we boarded the train back to Villabassa.
A 45km cycle sounds like a lot, but honestly there were small children and people of all ages on this trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves the great outdoors and it's the perfect way to see the beautiful countryside of the South Tyrol.

The Ultimate Guide to Home Theater Installation
Procuring an expert home theater installer is ostensibly the most ideal approach to complete your establishment. The experts that offer Home Theater Services can without much of a stretch be gotten from a Home Theater Installation Company. Home Theater Installation looks and seems like a simple procedure, and numerous individuals are enticed to do it all alone. The procedure is an exceptionally difficult one and must be done by a proficient individual in that area. If at all there is a single wrong connection, that could result in spoiling the whole system. This could prompt significantly more losses. However, you could do it yourself if you were absolutely sure that you know what you are doing. Having some knowledge also comes in handy as you will be able to detect if the installer does something wrong.
There are very many advantages that hiring a professional installer comes with. The first that is the clearest is that it empowers you to spare some cash. This point may not be evident at first since you will, in any case, be paying the installer. However, the saving angle comes in because you will avoid any further expenses. If you decide to install the home theater yourself, then there is a high probability that something will go wrong. In this case, you will have to use even more money to buy different components or even to repair the whole thing. Even if you do it right, there are bound to be problems after some time if you are not a professional. This is bad because, if a professional is in charge of the Home Theater Services, there won't be any complications. The customization of the home theater is another territory where the administrations of an expert installer are required. If you want a custom establishment, then the installer is the ideal individual to call as the procedure is easy for them. Some want the home theater to be installed into multiple rooms, which is something that probably only the best-trained home theater installers are able to handle. The reputation of the Home Theater Installation Company also plays a big role in the confidence you will have in your installer.
The audio and visual systems are other parts of the home theater system that should be in the best conditions possible. This is the section that either makes or breaks the quality of your system, and a professional installer will make it perfect for you. It is a very delicate issue, and if you do not know what you are doing, it is best to keep a distance. The Home Theater Installation process gets remarkably smoother when a professional installer is involved.

A leading Australian sculptors' organisation since 1951. Non-profit and based in Sydney, NSW
Showcasing modern and contemporary sculpture in all media - bronze, metal, stone, ceramic, wood, glass...
GRAHAM RADCLIFFE weblink. (Six Australian Sculpture Parks You Should Visit) Please click on the link below.
Once Upon a Time in Queensland..........................................Graham Radcliffe.23.4.14.
I imagine that had I been born in another time, that I would have ended up in a monastery,for I have searched for the connection between Man and our Creator from an early age.My Mother, bless her, always thought that I was to be an artist, and I was sent to the art classes of Videy Lahey. But my Father had different ideas. Only girls became artists. So I ended up as a fitter and turner.My first sculptures were made in sandstone, and I used to go and camp up at the Helidon quarry, mosquitos and all, and before the age of angle grinders and diamond saws. I actually damaged my right hand from all the hammering and I did not work for some seventeen years after. Divorced, I had two sons to raise and get through University. Secretly I went to classes with Irene Amos. I sought solitude and in 1975, I bought a block of land at Cape Tribulation, and after my boys went on their way, I sold up and went bush, or rather, beach, with precious little in my wallet in 1981.But Fate came along in the form of a beautiful young German girl in 1984, walking on my beach. We married in 1986, and selling up once again, we went to Italy for the first time. I did my first marble sculpture in a studio in Torino. It was snowing. Freezing cold. A famous sculptor Felice Vatteroni worked there. His comment was..every year they come to butcher the marble. I have tried not to be a butcher.
To transpose our thoughts into the three dimensional reality in stone is a challenge. We each develop our own calligraphy, our own way of interpreting emotion and movement. We each experience our own journey through spiritual realms and try to express them, either consciously or subconsciously, into some form in solid material. This is the agony of creativity. How do we reach through the stargate of creativity and return with our inspiration and ability to create some meaningful art. What is the fuel for this journey?I believe it is passion. Passion to search for our connection to the universe.
Such preoccupations are not compatible with earning a living and surviving in todays world of brilliant IT innovation. Computer generated art of myriad shapes and colours are clever and perhaps entertaining for a moment. Installations may present some transient thought.I find it difficult to find love in laser beams, broken glass or found objects.Michelangelo's words..........The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.If we could only achieve this.
We bought our present land at Mt.Glorious, and set about creating the Phoenix Sculpture Garden. We lived on and off in Italy for six years and I made many pieces. I had exhibitions in Munich and at Gallery 460 Gosford in 1988. In '89 I did my 4 metre Phoenix Germania for the Berlin Wall coming down. We tried to sell it for the new Potsdamplatz, but after six years we brought it home, and it stands as the centrepiece in our gardens. The gardens are dedicated to Peace, and we try to create an uplifting experience for our visitors, an escape from our troubled world of wars and conflict, corruption, and deception.
SculptureSculpture must be made of Love…….. from Love…….. with Love.Sculpture must be the essence of Love.It must have empathy with some spiritual vibration from within one's being.It will be a reflection of our inner selves……. our souls…… no matter how we try to disguise it.It is inseparable from our fingerprints……..yours will be yours……… mine will be mine.If it is made from the heart it may be sculpture……… it may live.If it is made from the mind, it will be an ornament……… an intellectual exercise.If it is made of Love it will endure forever……… it will attract like souls.

Now that it's officially May, it's time to start working on your base tan! Instead of baking in the sun, you need to get a spray tan, because you can actually fake a toned tummy & abs when you get one — need we say more? Find out our expert tips on how to fake a toned tummy, here!
If you're heading on vacation but you want a base tan and a toned tummy in little to no time, then you're going to freak out because a spray tan can actually help you FAKE toned tummy and give you a sunless glow — what more could you ask for? We got all of the tanning tips you need to know, from St. Tropez Skin Finishing Expert, Sophie Evans, and you are going to be obsessed. Before we get into prep, application, and maintenance, we need to know: can a spray tan make you look skinnier? Sophie says, YES. "A layer of self-tan will always make you look slightly more contoured and defined but being contoured properly will always win 1st place when it comes to making the body look super toned and defined."
Stars Who've Drastically Changed Their Hairstyles — PICS
How to fake a toned tummy:
1. "You should do an all over base with a lighter self-tan then use a darker self-tan, which will contain more self-tanning agent ( DHA), to really create a defined contoured look."
2. "Using the same color for the base and simply applying more of the same product on the body's natural contours will just blend in and develop the same so you need to use two different strengths of self-tanners."
WOW! Now that we know a spray tan can in fact, make you appear skinnier, Sophie gave us helpful tips on what you need to know before you go for your spray tan, including the fact that you need to get your tan 2 days before vacation to let the tan set:
– "When self-applying the St.Tropez self tan formula, which can last up to 10 days, use applicator mitts so you don't stain your hands!"
– "Streaks and patches are caused by not using enough product and over rubbing the skin with lack of product. Always use enough product so that the tan can easily glide effortlessly over the skin. If you feel you are pulling and rubbing at the skin you are more than likely causing a streak!"
[interaction id="5907603532e5cd871b29ed41″]
– "Exfoliate lightly every 2-3 days while your self tanner is on. This will prevent any tan or color build up and ensure that your tan is always fading evenly. People would not imagine how important it is to exfoliate while the tan is on. You must use a very gentle body polisher, St Tropez Body Polisher, because it will not rip or tear at the skin and will keep the tan even as it starts to fade, which will naturally occur over the course of 5-10 days."
– "Also because of tight clothing and excessive sweating due to exercise, certain areas will fade more quickly than others. A light exfoliation every few days will keep the color even and also prevent darker color build-up from regular self tanner applications."
– "Always bring a light gradual self-tanner with you which will put the glow back into your tan that the sweat, chlorine and excess rubbing of the skin has taken away."
Now that you guys know about spray tans, will you try it out yourself?

Animal rescue groups in the South Bay know it simply as "ABC," shorthand for Animal Birth Control Clinic.
Since it was opened by Dr. W. Marvin Mackie in 1976, the Lomita clinic's sole focus has been to combat pet overpopulation by doing as many spay-and-neuter procedures as it could efficiently handle.
Now under new ownership, ABC is about to get a makeover.
Sterilization and work with rescue groups will continue to be a big part of the practice, said new owner Dr. Michael Zareski, a San Pedro house-call vet who grew up on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. And the clinic also will serve the Harbor Animal Care Center, San Pedro's city-run shelter that has relied on the facility to sterilize its animals.
But the hospital at 1950 Pacific Coast Highway is gearing up to offer much more.
Under the new moniker of Western Veterinary Group, the clinic is transitioning into a full-service veterinary hospital.
"It's a work in progress," said Zareski, 37.
"Everybody knows this place," said Zareski, who bought the practice on April1 and is remodeling the 3,000-square-foot facility.
A grand opening is tentatively planned for September.
"This place is legendary," Zareski said. "Spay and neuter will still be a focus here, but I enjoy doing (other) medicine."
Mackie, 71, is helping out at the clinic during the transition period, working three days a week with Zareski.
Some animal rescue groups, not surprisingly, have been watching the transition closely.
"There are changes and it is expanding, so there's some general angst (among rescue groups) about what's coming," said Mackie, who moved to San Pedro with his wife, Phyllis, in 1971. "But (Zareski) sees the importance of it. He also has great energy and a passion to expand, to take what I've done further.
"It's my baby," Mackie said of the clinic. "I'm not going to let him fail."
Prices will go up by about $20 for the sterilization surgeries, Zareski said. Costs to spay or neuter an animal varies, depending on weight, but Zareski said generally the new prices will put it in the range of $55 to $65 per surgery.
There also will be tighter restrictions on treating feral cats.
In a letter he sent out to his clientele, Zareski urged colony caretakers to make appointments – or at least give the clinic a "heads up" – before bringing in trapped cats.
He also is setting a limit: No more than five cats per day from any single group.
"There was no policy in place and we'd have people showing up with 15 or 20 feral cats when there were already 40 animals in the hospital," Zareski said. "That's just not in the best interest of the animals. We pride ourselves on evaluating and monitoring every animal."
Zareski will continue to offer sterilization/immunization packages for feral cats. He said he is also exploring a future partnership with a feral cat research program in place at a Los Angeles-area university.
Clinic hours, however, will expand from four days a week under Mackie to eventually six or seven days. Currently, the clinic is open Monday through Friday.
A 2002 graduate of Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, Zareski was a teacher – he taught English in Japan – for a while before deciding to change careers.
Since graduating from veterinary school, he has combined his house-call business (surfside vet.com) with filling in at local veterinary clinics in the Harbor Area and South Bay.
The new clinic will bear both signs out front – Animal Birth Control and Western Veterinary Group. And Zareski will continue to offer the house-call service as well.
Among the familiar ABC Clinic features that will remain in place is Mackie's glass window in the lobby that allows clients to watch as surgery is performed on their pets.
"Some people are comfortable watching, others aren't," Zareski said.
In addition to the clinic where there will be three exam rooms and a surgery room, Zareski bought the storefront next door in the strip mall at Pacific Coast Highway and Eshelman Avenue. He plans to offer grooming and veterinary prescription dog foods in that area.
(The main hospital, the adjacent grooming facility and Zareski's existing house-call service make up the "group" in the Western Veterinary Group title.)
He's hoping to add another veterinarian to the staff but wants the practice to retain its personal touch and be community-oriented.
That could set him apart in a field that is rapidly growing and changing.
"Many of the veterinary clinics are going toward a more corporate model," he said. "But there's still a need for a local community doctor."

And Remember The Contest Rule...
Aug 13th 2015, 05:46
That outdated contest rule you are still reading at warp speed is also on Wheeler's agenda as well. Wheeler says the FCC will update the Contest Rule for the Internet age, allowing broadcasters to disclose details online instead of, or in addition to, over the air. Thanks to pressure from Entercom Commissioner O'Rielly (pictured) called for modernizing the rule over a year ago. His proposal received unanimous support. Entercom first petitioned the Commission about this issue back in 2012.

"It's good to save fuel, but for us, it's more important to boost performance," says CEO of Ferrari Far and Middle East, Dieter Knechtel
Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari will not be launching electric or autonomous cars, according to chief executive of the Far and Middle East, Dieter Knechtel.
Speaking to Arabian Business at the launch of the brand's 70th anniversary limited edition models in Dubai, Knechtel said electric and self-driving cars are "not fitting with the brand."
"To be honest with you, I don't see our clients [being interested] in a self-driving, autonomous Ferrari. Electrification is very important for us, but there will not be any 100 percent electric car coming from Ferrari," he said.
However, Knechtel said the brand is working on incorporating hybrid technology across all of its models.
"There is a lot of research going into it. You will see hybrid Ferrari cars across all ranges in the future, I assume. In a couple of years, we will probably launch the first one, out of the normal range, with a hybrid engine. But what is important to mention here is we want to apply the Ferrari approach when using hybrid technology.
"When you look at the V8 engine that we launched for the 488GTB Spider, it has been awarded the best turbo engine of the year two times in a row. It's the best turbo engine in the market, because we managed to produce it with no turbo lag. It is forbidden for Ferrari to have turbo lag. Our clients deserve something more. When we talk about the hybrid engine, the same thing applies. We would like to have our own hybrid approach. We are not followers of any trends," he said.
Knechtel added that the purpose of applying hybrid technology will not be to save fuel, but to boost performance.
"It is also not our ultimate goal to develop a hybrid only for the purpose of saving fuel. It's good to save fuel, but for us, it's more important to boost performance. We want to be the highest performing car. We have always promised to be so. We have fulfilled it and we want to keep our promise. Clients expect that from us and we don't want to fail them," he said.
Knechtel was in Dubai to celebrate the brand's 70th anniversary, where the LaFerrari Aperta and two special edition cars were unveiled to mark the occasion.

RUSSELLVILLE, Ala. – Police have closed the case of a burglary and arson at a Russellville pawn shop.
The September 2016 crime put dozens of firearms of the streets.
The burned-out remains of Mike's Pawn Shop are long gone. For two and a half years, detectives worked to find the people they thought were responsible for the early morning fire which was set to cover up an even bigger crime.
"Technology; the type of things that is out there like cell phones and digital equipment. If it wasn't for those type things we probably wouldn't have been able to make these arrests," explained Russellville Police Chief Chris Hargett.
Prior to the burglary, patrol officers had made a traffic stop for moving violations. The person pulled over was Roscoe Dansby of Marengo County. He was given a warning and sent on his way.
With surveillance cameras, technology and search warrants, detectives were able to place him and Curtis Lewis at the scene of the crime later that morning.
Of the approximately 70 guns which were stolen that night at Mike's Pawn Shop, Russellville police say only two have been recovered; most recently in May of 2017.
"It is a huge safety risk for the public," stated Hargett. "The only thing is, we have gotten two of the guns back – both from south Alabama. So, they are probably spread out all over the state if not other states by now."
Both men have been charged with arson, burglary, and theft of property.
Russellville police say this was a team effort that involved local, state, and federal investigators to solve.
Roscoe Dansby has been released on bond and is awaiting trial. Curtis Lewis remains at the Franklin County Jail without bond due to a probation violation.

The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) is offering $1.5 million worth of scholarship to 1,000 students to pursue science, mathematics and technical education in the country's tertiary institutions.
The move is to ensure there are more qualified Ghanaian technologists in the oil and gas industry capable of contributing constructively to the country's development.
Fifty per cent of the grant would be used to support women studying Engineering as part of efforts to promote gender parity in Science and Engineering education at the tertiary level.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the GNPC, Dr Kofi Koduah Sarpong, made the disclosure last Wednesday in Kumasi when he addressed the Second International Conference on Engineering, Science, Technology and Entrepreneurship.
The three-day conference was to help map out new paths for science and technology in Africa. The meeting was held under the theme, 'Promoting sustainable development through engineering, science, technology and entrepreneurship.'
The support from GNPC emphasises the collaborative relationship between the company and academia with regard to promoting research as a key catalyst for development.
The grant support is anticipated to be preferential towards the study of Physics, Chemistry and Biology and the geosciences.
Speaking on the sub-theme, "The role of science, technology and entrepreneurship in the oil and gas industry," Dr Sarpong said in addition to the scholarship, the GNPC was providing technical support to local contractors and engineers in the oil and gas industry to assist them compete favourably with their foreign counterparts.
"Science and technology are the drivers for any country hoping to develop fast and Ghana is no exception," he said.
Dr Sarpong announced that in order to see actualisation of the investment made, the GNPC was establishing a Centre of Excellence in Oil and Gas to spearhead research into the sector in aid of the country's development.
Research fund
The Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Prof. Kwabena Frimpong Boateng, said the government had increased funding for research from less than one per cent to one per cent of gross domestic product (GDP).
He said there was the likelihood that the amount would be increased to 2.5 per cent of GDP in the nearest future.
Prof. Frimpong Boateng said in its short term in office, the government had demonstrated the will to aggressively support research for the benefit of industry.
He said through research, it should be possible for Ghana to rely on locally produced goods and not to be dependent on foreigners.
"Ghana must be capable of building the capacities of its engineers to begin to build 'our own FPSO," he said.

All national museums in the UK were banned from charging admission more than a decade ago, and they now receive all their funding through government grants and private donations. This is a great thing for tourists, cheapskates, and tourist cheapskates like myself – and it means that if you have to go to the bathroom, it's cheaper to find one in the building filled with famous, priceless works of art than to shill out 30 pence for a pay toilet on the street.
However, thanks to a fair amount of bureaucracy and red tape, multiple historic sites and museums in London don't qualify as national museums and thus continue to charge admission. Most notable among these exceptions is the Tower of London. I was quite disappointed a couple of weeks ago when I traveled to the Tower expecting free culture and was instead confronted by guards expecting me to pay 14 pounds for a ticket. I briefly considered trying to sneak in, but given the Tower's millennium-old reputation as both an impenetrable fortress and an inescapable prison, I gave up on my plan and slunk home instead.
But I returned yesterday, 14 pounds in hand, having reluctantly accepted the fact that if indeed I want to do everything there is to do here, I might have to spend some money along the way.
First, in all seriousness, let me tell you this – should you ever be in London, just go ahead and fork over 14 pounds to get into the Tower of London. The ticket gets you into several different museums within the Tower walls, not to mention an excellent tour by a Yeoman Warder – one of those guys in funky hats who served as a prison guard and now simply condenses 1,000 years of British history into 55 minutes for tourists.
The grounds themselves put me in mind of Disneyland – not just because the whole joint is all ye olde European, but also because it's full of tourists meandering around with people in period costume. And there are gift shops.
For those of you who, like me before I visited, aren't totally clear on the Tower of London's history, I'll try to bring you up to speed. Basically, in 1078, William the Conqueror, the first Norman king of England, built the Tower as a fortress from which to run his campaign against the resident Britons who didn't welcome the invading Normans as liberators.
In the intervening thousand or so years, the fortress served as a secure royal residence whenever the peasants got too uppity, and then as a prison, wherein a who's who of European high society who had run afoul of the royal family were locked up, tortured, and executed. Listing them all would be like listing all the artists on one of those soft rock compilation albums they advertise on daytime TV – Henry IV, Thomas More, Ann Boleyn, Guy Fawkes (as seen in V For Vendetta!) and Edward IV's two sons, commonly known as The Princes in the Tower, who were sent there by their asshole uncle Richard III and later killed.
They probably weren't the inspiration for the Spin Doctors' hit 1993 single 'Two Princes', but I like to pretend that they were.
As someone who is not a huge expert on English history, it was refreshing to see that not only is there a country with a history nearly as violent and intolerant as ours in the U.S., but also that the curators and guides didn't sanitize it at all to try and make the Crown look better, nor did they sugarcoat the 1,000-year orgy of torture and death for the various children on the tour (all of whom seemed to enjoy themselves greatly – in your face, Grand Theft Auto).
They wouldn't let me take pictures of the crown jewels, but honestly, for all the fanfare, I wasn't all that impressed. It's a bunch of incredibly ornate golden plates and crowns, inset with as many precious stones as they could fit on there. It's mostly a testament to the royal family's age-old pursuit of bling. What I did find impressive was the fact that they had the audacity to put a collection box and a big sign begging for donations right next to three rooms' worth of enough jewelry to buy (and giftwrap) Guam.
What I was allowed to take pictures of were some of the highly decorative weapons on display in the royal armory, two of which I'd like to leave you with today. Sure, the Crown Jewels are nice and all, but these are like Crown Jewels that can kill people.

Looe RNLI lifeboat crew rescue a girl on an inflatable being blown out to sea
The volunteer crews with Looe RNLI launched their D Class inshore lifeboat earlier this afternoon, Friday 18 August 2017, to rescue a young girl on an inflatable being blown out to sea off East Looe beach. The girl was picked up and taken back to the boathouse where she was reunited with her family.
Looe RNLI volunteers were alerted at 1.50 pm by multiple reports of a young girl on a small blue inflatable being blown out to sea off East Looe beach. Within 4 minutes the charity's D Class inshore lifeboat Ollie Naismith was launched and made her way out into Looe bay. A local charter fishing boat returning to port, responding to people on the Banjo Pier waving and pointing, turned and made her way over towards the inflatable which had already been blown out further into the bay. A minute later the girl was picked up, transferred into the inshore lifeboat and taken back to the RNLI boathouse where cold, wet and frightened, but uninjured, she was reunited with her family.
Dave Haines, Lifeboat Operations Manager with Looe RNLI says "This type of incident highlights the dangers of using inflatables in the open sea. Blow-up toys and airbeds are designed for pools, not the sea where they can easily and very quickly be swept out far from shore. If you do use them keep close to shore and supervise children at all times. Beach goers should always make themselves aware of the wind direction and strength as offshore winds will blow inflatables further out to sea."
Dave Haines goes on to say that "Fortunately the sea conditions were relatively calm and the inflatable did not flip over in the wind or capsize, it may have been a very different outcome if the occupant had fallen into the water."
Looe RNLI's volunteer Lifeboat Press Officer who was on East Looe beach at the time with his family realised something was wrong and was one of the people to raise the alarm, he commented on how quickly the inflatable was being blown out to sea in the strong offshore North Westerly winds. Others on the beach were calling the Coastguard on 999 and a number of people reported the incident to our boathouse guide at the Lifeboat Station.

What is this research study about?
This study aims to examine the links between the diagnostic criteria for autism and adaptive behaviour (i.e., a person's life skills). It is known that adaptive behaviour strongly influences quality of life among autistic people. However, it is unknown exactly which characteristics of autism influence a person's adaptive behaviour. The project aims to examine which specific characteristics of autism are related to adaptive behaviour.
Why should I help?
The findings of this study will be used to identify which characteristics of autism are related to adaptive behaviour. Since there is a clear relationship between adaptive behaviour and quality of life, this could have direct implications for improving their quality of life. If such characteristics of autism can be identified and then targeted in subsequent interventions, this may lead to improvements in overall quality of life for autistic people., including increased autonomy, better emotional and physical wellbeing, physical health, comfort and happiness. To thank you for your participation you will be provided with an honorarium of a $50 Woolworths e-gift card.
Who can take part?
You are invited to take part in this study if you are an adult over the age of 18 who has a diagnosis of autism, including autism, autism spectrum disorder, Asperger's, or PDD-NOS.
Who is conducting this study?
The researchers are Professor Robyn Young and Emeritus Professor Neil Brewer from Flinders University in South Australia. The study is supported by the Flinders University College of Education, Psychology & Social Work.
This study is funded by a private donation from the Hamish Ramsay Fund to Professor Robyn Young to support the area of autism research.
What will I be asked to do?
You will be asked to fill out seven online questionnaires. These online questionnaires will ask you questions about yourself and you will rate on a scale how much each question relates to you. The questionnaires have questions about (1) the social-communicative symptoms associated with autism, (2) the repetitive behaviours associated with autism, (3) ASD behaviours in general (4) adaptive behaviour (5) social anxiety, (6) interpersonal skills and (7) verbal comprehension. Completing the questionnaires will take approximately two to three (2 -3) hours. After you have started the questionnaires, you can then at any time either take a break from the questionnaires, or stop taking part in the study.
When and where?
The study is conducted entirely online. This means you can do it wherever suits you best, and in your own time.
To find out more about the study and register to participate:
If you read the information sheet and decide you would like to participate, you can begin participation immediately, or else you can save it for completion at a later time.
Please feel free to forward this information to others who might also be interested in participating.

[singlepic=224,500,500] The original shot.
I thought the original shot (while taken a cloudy day) was decent until I dropped into LightZone and made a few clicks of the mouse to create the tweaked version.
[singlepic=223,500,500] The "LightZone" adjusted version.
The LightZone "Relight" tool made an immediate improvement with just a single click. I went a little further though, and isolated the handful of leaves in the photo as a region to add some color saturation. Then, finally, I sharpened the photo just a little to bring out some more local contrast in the details. Total editing time was about 5 minutes.

We hired JWC and Justin to build an upper level deck, we gave a deposit in the Fall of 2018 for the job to be completed in the spring of 2019.
We lost confidence in him and his business after we had submitted 3 different drawings to the town and no non them were correct or able to be understand, the town building inspector actually suggested that we hire a professional company to do the drawing for us, Which we thought we had done.
Justin and I agreed we would pay him $800 for the time he had spent on our project (2 site visits and a few worthless drawings). 4 months later we are still waiting to receive our deposit back. Totalling $4400.
We have filed complaints with the BBB, and consumer protection Ontario.
DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY, they are not competent to do drawings or to perform the work. I wouldn't recommend or trust them at all.
I Love My New Deck
I just have to say that JWC Construction and Justin and his crew were amazing. they did the nicest job i have ever seen. our old deck was rotting and falling apart Justin and his crew dismantled and took all the old rubbish away and replaced it with an incredibly beautiful deck. They added an additional section to house my hot tub and even reworked two flights of stairs. They were professional and friendly and very professional. no issues at all !! i would definitely recommend JWC to all my family and friends.
This guy Justin Chapman was hired and he is the worst person that I have ever have to deal with. He tiled our master bathroom and I have seen the worst tiling job and I thought that I have seen it all. He tried to tell me that " You will not even notice it once the grout is on." He cut pieces of the penny tiles and tried to do a "jigsaw" puzzle on my floor. He blamed our subfloor, walls as being crooked that's why his job was not good. He called my husband and I "like children" and never happy with the things that he did whenever we brought up issues regarding his work. His calculator was probably broken because we found discrepancies and added a couple hundred dollars to the total of our quote. A very dishonest person/ contractor. I will never ever in my entire life wish for anybody else to hire him.
Very unprofessional, unpleasant and just the worst. I could go on and on with regards to issues that we had with him and his job. He even blamed the tiling job to the man that quit on him when we know for a fact that Justin was the one who messed up our bathroom. He refused to finish upthe job and demanded to get more money from us. He told us to hire someone else to finish up the work.
The worst contractor and a liar.
the crew that came out to tear down and build my new deck was very proffessional and courteous they were very pleasant and took great pride in their work would definitely recommend this company again and again. will have them back for sure for more work

The wildlife rotation has been really enjoyable thus far. Sure, it comes with a great deal of euthanasia, but it affords us students with opportunities to work with a plethora of species, all of which have different requirements. One of these requirements is caloric intake. Some waterfowl such as loons need to be fed live fish (which they dive under water to grab in their beaks), birds of prey can be given mice, and other birds are fine eating cracked corn, pelleted feed, and fresh green vegetables. But they all have some minimum requirement for daily calories. We call this value the minimum energy cost (MEC), and it can be found by multiplying a species constant with the body weight of the individual animal to the three fourth's power. It may not be the most intuitive calculation, but it is how we determine how much to feed each patient.
Because all of the wild animals in the clinic would ideally not be in captivity, we try to limit our exposure to them and only perform the bare necessities of cleaning their cages, periodically weighing them, and regularly rechecking their diseased or damaged areas. Otherwise, it is a largely hands-off approach to medical care. That said, our hands are most focused on preparing their meals in the morning to be given at various times during the day. The food may be chopped fish stuffed with Vitamin B tablets and various oral drugs or perhaps, mice, quail, or beaver. No matter how disgusting they may smell, we prepare the food with love because our patients need it!

When you have an excellent outside cornerback like Gareon Conley, you could be assured of a successful game at the end of every season. Despite his on and off-season games, thanks to series of injuries and sexual assault allegations, one could easily find great prospects in the Massillon native. In addition to several other football qualities he has, Gareon Conley is one of the players with good agility and he works well with receivers and keeps them close. Some even see him as a perfect press-man corner. Let's take a closer look at some of the interesting facts you need to know about this American football player.
Gareon Conley's Early Life
Gareon Conley was born in Massillon, Ohio, on June 29, 1995. He is the son of Sherry Stine Robinson and Jameel Abdul Aziz Conley who are now separated. He also has four siblings – two sisters: Maria and Meera and two brothers: Jameel and Ayeee Glenoak.
Conley attended Massillon Washington High School where he also began his football career as a cornerback on defence and as a wide receiver on offence. Before moving over to the university for his college career, Conley made 25 tackles and one interception on defence during his productive years in high school. On offence, Conley also recorded 50 receptions and 16 touchdowns. He played for the University of Michigan for a while before deciding to finally settle with the Ohio State University or OSU, as it is commonly called.
Joining the Ohio Buckeyes in 2013, Conley was redshirted in the entire season but in the following year, he played as a redshirt freshman and recorded 16 tackles from all the season's 15 games. He became a starter in 2015 and finished with 49 tackles and 2 interceptions in 13 games. He also led his college team to a Fiesta Bowl win and subsequently to a second Fiesta Bowl appearance in 2016. This, therefore, earned him the All-Big Ten pick in 2015. Based on his performance also, Conley was, on November 29, 2016, named Second Team All-Big Ten by the coaches and Third Team by the media. After his 2016 season, he decided to forgo his senior year in college to join a professional team in 2017.
NFL Draft Profile
Gareon Conley joined the 2017 NFL Draft and was selected by the Oakland Raiders with the 24th overall pick during the draft. This, of course, was after he joined and completed the National Football League's combine and positional drills. He was compared with the American football cornerback Aqib Talib from Cleveland, Ohio, thanks to his performance. He was also seen as one who has a prospect for the top defensive spot.
Conley signed a four-year contract worth $10.467 million and a $5.752 million signing bonus, with the Oakland Raiders, on July 28, 2017, but his young professional career was battered by series of injuries. In his rookie season, he missed the season opener due to a shin injury. He, however, returned in the second week and played all through the third week before his shin injury aggravated. He stayed without playing for the next six games before he was eventually placed on injured reserve on November 13, 2017.
Returning in 2018, Gareon Conley joined his team in Week 4 of the season, in a match against the Cleveland Browns and he was able to record a spectacular performance, leading to his first professional touchdown. Conley's career stats show he has 44 total tackles, 16 pass deflections, 0 forced fumbles, 3 interceptions and a defensive touchdown.
The future of Gareon Conley's professional career seemed uncertain from the very first start as he, among other hitches, faced sexual assault claims. Just weeks before the 2017 NFL draft, he was accused of raping a young lady in a Cleveland hotel room, on April 9, 2017. Although he strongly denied the accusation, it led to a series of investigations before a grand jury, on July 31, 2017, ruled that he would not be charged.
While many speculated that the rape accusation could lead to his fall out from the first round of the draft, the Raiders, who also conducted a private investigation and administered a polygraph test to Conley which he passed, decided to select him in July 2018, leading to the signing of a four-year deal with the professional team on July 28, 2017.
