Glazed clay casseroles
Posted 14 January 2013 - 02:26 PM
1. Can I place the casserole directly in a hot oven? Or do I need to place it in a cold oven and then turn it on, like is recommended for unglazed casseroles?
2. Can I place a room-temperature casserole under the broiler? Or should I place it in the cold oven when I turn on the broiler? Or should I simply not use it under the broiler?
Any comments are very appreciated!

I prefer the unglazed, that's for sure.
But in any case, i've only seen them use them on an open flame, on a stovetop or some kind of barbecue set up. Not in the oven.

So there is a big difference if you are talking about earthenware like they use mostly in central/south america and the middle east or stoneware. I do own high-fire stoneware au gratin dishes that have survived some broiler use (I think - not my usual cooking). I haven't heard of older stoneware building up stress over time then failing spectacularly like, say, pyrex.
And stay away from the lead glazes. Even though a well designed one won't leach much, it's impossible to know without testing and besides it usually isn't healthy for the potters.

You haven't visited most of Maine—few people have. It's an immense state that's largely unpopulated. Well, try this: fly to Bangor, then drive three hours north. You're getting up there. At the end of an 18-mile dirt road is Libby Camps. Established in 1890, it's been in the same family for five generations. That all sounds promising, and it should. We're partial to lodges and cabins that don't dress themselves up (wall-to-wall carpeting is a telltale warning sign). When you arrive at Libby you know you're in a place that has earned the right to take the long view.
Come in May and June to fish for native brook trout in many of the remote ponds that can only be accessed by foot or, even better, by float plane. Or come back in September when the water falls and they turn red before they spawn. Either way, you fly fish from a 20' Old Town canoe and cast out one of the idiosyncratic flies made by the guides. Or, if you're more classically minded: a caddis or March Brown. You can hope for a trophy 3 pounder, but that's a setting the bar high. Aim a little more realistically, while expecting regular action from strong, healthy fish.

Ex-TV presenter Sam Mason's dash to daughter's side as former husband shot dead
Posted: April 08, 2014|
Former HTV and BBC Radio Bristol presenter Sam Mason has flown out to Spain as the search for her ex-husband's killer intensifies.
Sam flew out yesterday to the Costa del Sol with her 19-year-old daughter Ellie Mason-Bush after millionaire Andrew Bush was shot in the head at his luxury villa.
Miss Mason, 45 divorced Mr Bush several years ago, and only learned of Mr Bush's death when she received a panic-stricken phone call from her daughter. She said she was devastated to hear the news.
Today the young lover of the 48-year-old millionaire businessman told how she hid in a car as the gold trader was shot.

Bristol student Maria Korotaeva said she rushed outside after arriving at the Marbella mansion at midnight on Saturday after realising something was wrong.
But when she heard shots the 20-year-old was unable to get back inside.
Miss Mason, now living in North Yorkshire, paid tribute to her ex-husband in a post on Facebook from Spain.
She wrote: "RIP dearest Andy. We all loved you so much. Our lives will never be the same again. I promise I will look after our baby for both of us xxx"
A police spokeswoman said: "I can confirm that an investigation is under way after a British citizen was found dead in a property near Estepona.
"So far no arrests have been made."
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are aware of the death of a British national in Estepona, Malaga, on April 5.
"We are in touch with local authorities and we are providing consular assistance to the family."
Miss Mason added: "Although we were no longer married, everything was fine between Andy and I. We'll miss everything about him and our lives will never be the same again.
"When I was down in Bristol a couple of weeks ago we were out having dinner and we saw him driving past so we waved, went out and had a chat with him."

As the second anniversary of 9/11 nears, 14 jurors sort through 5,200 competition entries for a memorial. The events of that fateful day are still fresh in our personal and collective memories. Despite reports to the contrary, the public is as concerned as ever over what will finally be chosen to commemorate what took place.
The question of how all points of view can be represented persists. What do we as architects/designers/artists, and most importantly, witnesses to the catastrophic events of 9/11 feel should be embodied in the design of a memorial at the WTC site? What have we learned or what can we improve upon from the construction and design of past memorials?
We would like to illicit your responses to this tragedy and its memorialization and hear your thoughts on the issues raised by collective mourning and renewal.
Wishful Thinking,

Plants can die or become weak for many reasons such as extreme temperature, pest infestations, or diseases. Many gardeners will try to revive weak plants, but some may cause more harm to the other ones if they remain in the garden. Here is a list of 5 reasons why you should remove dead, weak, or dying areas of plants from your garden.
5 Reasons to Remove Dead Plants
Make Room for New Healthy Plants
Make Your Garden More Attractive
Protect Other Plants From Diseases
Promote Healthy Growth
Remove Shelters for Pests
Dead plants will only waste space in your garden. Remove them and plant something new in their place.
Dead or severely weakened plants take away from the visual appeal of your garden.
Many plants weaken and die because of diseases. Removing diseased plants from your garden will protect the healthy ones that surround them.
Dead patches on plants are normal as the seasons change. Trim off the dead areas and they will grow back looking great.
Dead trees make good homes for many types of pest insects. Hire a professional to remove your dead tree to make sure that it is done properly.

The biggest ever work-week fall of crude prices dropped a total $16.20 July 14-18 to $128.88/bbl, "below key price points that bulls may have needed to hold onto to continue their rally," said analysts at Pritchard Capital Partners LLC, New Orleans.
"Some think enough damage was done to the complex to usher in $120/bbl crude oil as the next technical 'must hold,'" the analysts said at the time. Prices continued falling the following week, with the August contract for benchmark US light, sweet crudes expiring July 22 at $127.95/bbl. As the Energy Information Administration reported a bigger than expected drop in US oil inventories and an unexpected jump in gasoline stocks, The new front-month September contract dropped $3.98 to $124.12/bbl July 23 before rebounding to $125.49/bbl July 24 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Prices for crude and petroleum products made moderate gains in early trading July 25. Pritchard Capital analysts said, "Product inventories continue to build amid soft demand, but in order for reformulated blend stock for oxygenate blending (RBOB) and heating oil to test some of the critical support levels, it will need some cooperation from crude oil, particularly in the case of RBOB where crack spreads are miserable."
Dolly, a category 2 hurricane, came ashore at South Padre Island, Tex., July 23, and then subsided to a tropical storm as it drenched South Texas. Although the storm inflicted no damage on most oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico, the US Minerals Management Service reported workers were evacuated from 62 of the 717 manned production platforms in the gulf and from 8 rigs of the 123 offshore rigs by the time the hurricane made landfall. MMS estimated 4.47% of oil production and 7.87% of gas production in the gulf was shut in due to the storm. Total production from US leases in the gulf was estimated at 1.3 million b/d of oil and 7.7 bcfd of gas as of January. Workers quickly returned offshore after the hurricane passed.
Inventory surprises
EIA reported commercial US crude inventories fell 1.6 million bbl to 295.3 million bbl during the week ended July 18, exceeding a Wall Street consensus of a 700,000 bbl draw. Gasoline stocks jumped by 2.9 million bbl to 217.1 million bbl in the same period, vs. Wall Street's expectations of a 100,000 bbl decline. Only the distillate fuel consensus was on target, with inventories up 2.4 million bbl to 128.1 million bbl. Propane and propylene inventories were up 300,000 bbl to 45.3 million bbl.
Imports of crude into the US fell 985,000 b/d to 9.8 million b/d in that same week. Input of crude into US refineries was down 355,000 b/d to 15.1 million b/d with refineries operating at 87.1% of capacity. Gasoline production rose to 9.2 million b/d during that period, while distillate fuel production decreased to 4.6 million b/d.
"The larger-than-expected draw was primarily due to a drop in imports to 9.81 million b/d from 10.79 million," said Michael C. Schmitz, Banc of America Securities LLC, New York. "Imports have averaged 9.88 million b/d year-to-date, 2.3% lower year over year. Otherwise, refinery utilization dropped 2.4% to 87.1% vs. consensus for no change as refining margins remain weak due to deteriorating product demand."
Jacques H. Rousseau, an analyst at Soleil-Back Bay Research, reported, "Weak demand led to a 6.3 million bbl (1.7%) build to refined product inventories (gasoline plus distillate plus jet fuel), the largest increase since Jan. 4." As a result of the rising inventories and falling margins, refiners reduced their utilization rate to 87.1%, well below year-ago levels of 91.7%. Refinery runs were at the lowest levels since 1997.
Soleil-Back Bay Research lowered its estimates of refiners' earnings in the last half of 2008 through 2009 primarily on expectations that weak demand for refined products will continue over the next 12-18 months.
Based on US data, July has been a weak month for gasoline demand while the overall level of US oil demand remained relatively robust. Compared with an all-time record high demand in July 2007, Paul Horsnell, Barclays Capital Inc., London, said, "Gasoline demand is noticeably weaker in year-over-year terms than it has been in any month this year." Despite talk of demand destruction, he said, "When the fall already released in wholesale prices is passed through to retail prices, and with the rate of increase tailing off, we would expect US gasoline demand to recover somewhat from the relatively gentle 1.4% decline seen for 2008 to date."

On October 17, 2013, E-Verify resumed operations after the government shutdown. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service has issued detailed guidance on how to handle E-Verify functions affected by the shutdown, which is summarized below:
Information for Employers
If an employee had a Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) referred between September 17, 2013, and September 30, 2013, and was not able to resolve the TNC due to the federal government shutdown, employers are instructed to add 12 federal business days to the date printed on the "Referral Letter" or "Referral Date Confirmation." Employees have until this new date to contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to resolve their cases. If an employee decided to contest his or her TNC while E-Verify was unavailable, the employer should now initiate the referral process in E-Verify. Employers may not take any adverse action against an employee because of a TNC.
If an employee received a Final Nonconfirmation (FNC) or No Show because of the federal government shutdown, employers are instructed to close the case and select "The employee continues to work for the employer after receiving a Final Nonconfirmation result," or "The employee continues to work for the employer after receiving a No Show result." The employer must then enter a new case in E-Verify for that employee. These steps are necessary to ensure the employee is afforded the opportunity to timely contest and resolve the TNC that led to the FNC result.
Employers must create an E-Verify case for each employee hired during or otherwise affected by the shutdown by November 5, 2013. If employers are prompted to provide a reason why the case is late (i.e., does not conform to the three-day rule), they are instructed to select "Other" from the drop-down list of reasons and enter "federal government shutdown" in the field.
During the federal government shutdown, federal contractors could not enroll or use E-Verify as required by the federal contractor rule. If the contractor missed a deadline because E-Verify was unavailable or if it has an upcoming deadline for complying with the federal contractor rule, the contractor is instructed to follow the instructions above and to notify the contracting officer of these instructions.
Information For Employees
If the federal government shutdown prevented the employee from contesting a TNC, he or she will be allowed additional time to contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) or Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
If the employee's TNC was referred between September 17, 2013, and September 30, 2013, and the employee was not able to resolve the mismatch due to the federal government shutdown, he or she should:
If the employee received an FNC because he or she could not contact DHS or SSA during the federal government shutdown or in the first ten days after the government reopened, the employee is instructed to contact the employer and request that the employer re-enter the query.

Letters to Domai
Dear DOMAI
A few summers ago I purchased a new kayak. During that summer I took my kayak up to a lake near my home to enjoy the hot sun and cool water. I took several trips to this lake because it was both remote with no development around the lake and it was near my home. The lake was about a mile long by a half mile wide and was towered by an adjacent mountain and cliff that only added to the beautiful scenery.
Because of its natural appeal the lake was a popular location for fisherman and swimmers alike. The swimmers frequented the area near the boat launch and parking, whereas the fisherman preferred the middle of the lake to the far end of the lake where the swimmers would not interfere with the fishing. This one late afternoon, on one of my kayaking trips, I noticed a couple of girls along the shoreline toward the middle of the lake. The girls were somewhat remote from the other swimmers, but were swimming along the shore near many of the fisherman.
As I paddled along the shoreline I came near the girls who both seemed to be in their early 20's and both very cute. One was enjoying the water and the other was enjoying the sun along the shoreline. As I paddled on by, we each exchanged hellos and smiles. The one swimming especially caught my attention in her two piece bikini bathing suit. I continued paddling up to the far end of the lake enjoying the full nature of the surroundings as they passed on by.
There were about 15 fisherman throughout the middle of the lake but the fish did not seem to be biting that evening. I never had enough patience for fishing and I never quite understood why fishing was all that interesting. Nevertheless, this lake as beautiful enough to make me understand why fishing could be fun here even if the fish were not biting, just by enjoying the views that surrounded.
After reaching the far end of the lake, I paddled back up the shoreline back toward the boat launch. By this time, the sun had started setting behind the large mountain that bordered the lake. The middle of the lake was in the shade, but the shoreline was still in the sun. I started paddling back toward the boat launch back up the same shoreline as before, keeping myself in the warm sunlight as much as possible. As I neared the two girls, I noticed that the one who was swimming was now toweling off on the shoreline while talking with her friend.
Then to my surprise, while facing the lake, she pealed off the bottoms of her bikini in plain view to all of us in boats not bothering to cover up her beautiful body. She continued toweling off and briefly covered herself up with her towel. As she talked casually to her friend who was waiting on the shore with her.
I looked around the lake to see who else had enjoyed this extra view of nature, but to my surprise, none of the other fisherman even caught a glimpse. Then she untied the top of her swimsuit and let her voluptuous breasts into the sun for all of us to see. She took her time and let her body soak in a few rays as she slowly toweled off a little more. She continued to talk to her friend who also seemed comfortable with the situation. I was impressed by this girl's confidence in her own body and her . She took her time as she pulled on some cutoff jeans and slowly put on a top all in plain view of the fisherman and myself. I again looked to see if anyone else had caught this glimpse of this beautiful girl, but I could tell from their reactions that no one else even noticed. The two of them shortly thereafter left the shoreline and began walking up the shoreline back toward the parking lot.
I left the lake that day knowing that I, unlike all the fisherman, had realized the best catch of the day!

Men 2nd, women 3rd at SDSU Classic...
The South Dakota State men's and women's cross country teams finished in second- and third-place, respectively, at the SDSU Classic on Saturday morning.
The SDSU men scored 40 points to finish in second place, 17 points behind SDSU Classic champion Nebraska.
The SDSU women scored 100 points to finish in third behind Nebraska and SDSU Classic champion Minnesota.
The men's team was paced by junior Jared Ailts, who finished in sixth place with a time of 25 minutes and 53.7 seconds.
The women's team was lead by junior Erin Hargens, who finished in 14th place with a time of 18 minutes and 32.5 seconds.
The men posted a solid performance, taking five of the top 10 spots. Behind Ailts was senior Greg Vollmer in seventh place with a time of 25:54.9. Senior Kyle Schmidt finished in eighth place six seconds later. Like clockwork, junior Greg Beesley and freshman Trent Lusignan each finished in the next six second intervals for ninth- and 10th-place, respectively.
"Nebraska ran really well and surprised us a little bit," head coach Rod DeHaven said. "I do not think we fired on all cylinders, but our fifth runner Beesley was with that group in a nice, tight pack, which was great. Now we have to get some of the other runners going a little bit. I think we are going in the direction that we want to go in at this point in the season."
The women also had a good showing, taking five of the top 27 spots. After Hargens, senior Danielle Burke finished in 16th-place with a time of 18:39.3. Junior Tera Potts and freshman Courtney Neubert finished one second apart for 21st- and 22nd-place, respectively. Junior Danielle McCann closed out the scoring for the Jacks in 27th-place with a time of 19:11.6.
"We got a little bit better on [the women's] side compared to where we were last year, on a day that was difficult to run," DeHaven said. "That group got better. Burke ran better and Hargens recovered a bit, but we still need to get our confidence up. Once we do that we will have a chance to reach our goals for the season."
The SDSU Alumni men's cross country team finished in fifth-place.
Complete results can be found at the beginning of this article.
South Dakota State also took the time to honor former SDSU head coach Jay Dirksen. Dirksen began his coaching career as the head men's cross country and track and field coach at SDSU. After six years leading the men, Dirksen started the women's cross country program. He coached six NCAA Division II champions and 34 NCAA Division II All-Americans in eight years at South Dakota State. The men's cross country team won the 1973 NCAA Division II Cross Country championship.
Coach DeHaven presented Dirksen with a framed, South Dakota State cross country singlet and announced that the men's race will be renamed the 'Jay Dirsen men's 8k' in his honor.
Both the men's and women's cross country teams take the week off from competition before traveling to the Bradley Classic on Friday, Oct. 14. The classic is set to begin at 4:30 p.m. in Peoria, Ill.

Ajuga genevensis "Carpet Bugle"
Deep true gentian blue spikes 6-12" tall appear all Summer long on this well behaved densely matting groundcover. We love this hard to find dependable "Bugleweed" for its larger spikes and flowers & glossy, low, groundhugging foliage. Spreading to 2' across, it's not stoloniferous and therefore not invasive (like the more common Ajuga reptans), so you can use it for smaller areas & alongside pathways. Wonderful at the edge of a bed & in rock gardens as it does appreciate good drainage. Added plus – it thrives in both sun & bright shade. VERY COLD HARDY!

Stampede falls to Wichita Wild in Cumbie's debut as QB
Sonny Cumbie's return to the gridiron was not what he had hoped it would be as the San Angelo Stampede Express fell to the Wichita Wild 48-35, for their third consecutive loss.
Cumbie was making his first start of the season for San Angelo after stepping down as head coach last week and signing himself to be the team's quarterback.
The Wild wasted little time spoiling Cumbie's debut, scoring twice in the first two minutes to take a 14-0 lead.
On the second play of the game, Wild quarterback Alex Melugin connected with Clinton Solomon for a 25-yard touchdown.
Twenty-four seconds later, after recovering an onside kick, Darius Fudge rambled 19 yards for another score, before Cumbie ever stepped onto the field.
"They put us in a hole," interim head coach Billy Jack Ray said. "But they weren't doing anything we hadn't seen them do on film. It's a matter of coming out and executing the game plan."
Once Cumbie did take the field, his first pass attempt found Antwon Courington 30 yards down the field for a touchdown.
The Wild would answer, driving the length of the field, with Fudge taking it in for his second score of the game.
Another onside kick attempt by the Wild was recovered by Ben Galicia at the 9-yard line, giving the Stampede first and goal and a chance to trim the lead.
Cumbie struggled under heavy pressure from the Wichita defense, completing just one of four passes on the drive, and the Stampede turned the ball over on downs.
"It is a little disheartening to come out here and play like we did," Cumbie said. "My expectations for this week were a little higher."
The Stampede trailed 25-13 at halftime, struggling to find the end zone in a penalty-plagued first half.
Penalties played a huge roll in the start of the second half, as the Stampede's chances to narrow the margin were set back by infractions.
The half began with Cumbie driving the Stampede down the field with a chance to cut the lead to five, when an unnecessary roughness penalty on Courington pushed the Stampede out of scoring range.
On the Wild's ensuing drive, another Stampede penalty, a 15-yard face mask, gave Wichita the ball first and goal, ending in Melugin hitting Solomon on a 7-yard scoring pass to put the score at 32-13.
"It was a dirty game, it was an ugly game, and that's unfortunate - we have got to clean that up both sides of the ball," Cumbie said. "That is part of the reason why we could never get anything going. The minute we did, there would be a penalty and those things kill drives."
As a result of a Wichita penalty, the Stampede had first and goal on the 1-yard line, but was unable to score, fumbling the ball away to the Wild.
Two plays later, Trae Ivory sacked Melugin in the end zone for a safety, giving the Stampede hope and the ball.
On their ensuing drive, Cumbie hooked up with Courington for a 37-yard touchdown on fourth-and-long, trimming the advantage to 10, 32-22.
Trailing by 13, after a Wichita field goal, Cumbie engineered a nine play drive, connecting with Courington for a 14-yard touchdown, cutting the lead to seven.
That is as close as they would get, as back to back Wichita touchdowns would extend the lead to 20, with less than a minute to play.
Still competing to the end, Cumbie would find the end zone one last time, an 11-yard strike to Tarvar Williams to close out the scoring with 24 seconds on the clock.
The Stampede is looking forward to a full week of practice with Cumbie under center, as it heads to Odessa next Saturday to face the rival Roughnecks.
"I think another week of practice with our starting quarterback will help put everybody on the same page," receiver Sam Tindol said. "We are going to put this week behind us and move on to Odessa"
San Angelo already holds one victory over Odessa, a 56-55 thriller at home on April 11.

Review: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Three years after Fox rebooted the Planet of the Apes franchise with Rise of the Planet of the Apes, we are getting Dawn of the Plant of the Apes. Dawn is superior movie to Rise, and what I wish Rise had been in the first place.
The plot centers on San Francisco and what happened to the area in the 10 years since Rise. Simian flu has wiped out most of the humans on the planet, and some remaining humans have built a little colony in San Francisco. The apes meanwhile, have made their home in the woods could care less about humans. Then they bump into each other and all hell breaks loose over the next two hours.
Dawn is a simple movie at heart, and maybe the simplest of the Ape movies as there is little exposition needed. We know how apes are evolving from the first movie and that the human race is dwindling due to the well used opening credits (a lost art in Hollywood these days). The weaknesses in the plot rear their ugly head early as the main conflict is condensed into two characters: Carver the human (Kirk Acevedo) and Koba the ape (Toby Kebbell). Hinging the entire plots catalyst on two characters is lazy writing and doesn't give the weight that a conflict like this deserves. Having some small threads of speciesism in the rest of the humans and then have their thoughts about the apes be proven wrong would have flowed more and made the subsequent conflict more engaging. The apes have some hesitations for the humans throughout the movie which keeps the plot from falling apart later.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a long movie. Pacing doesn't become an issue though until the end of the movie when subplots are brought it in to fill dead space. I didn't feel the need to check my cell phone during the movie until about the 1 hour 45 minutes mark when most of the action has taken place and we are just waiting on the ending. But when Dawn has your attention, you can't look away. There is an even amount of time spent on the colony in San Francisco, the apes, and the humans and I never wondered why we hadn't seen a specific plot thread in a while. A few threads could have been cut to make this a brisker movie, such as the superfluous human subplots. Malcolm's (Jason Clarke) interaction with the apes and wanting to coexist with them is enough to drive the human element of the movie.
One of Rise of the Planet of the Apes' weaknesses was the script. It was often dull and lacked any real emotion. Considering most of the dialogue in Dawn is "ape no kill ape," it's ironic that the script superior to Rise. The ape dialogue is often stunted, but the ever growing inclusion of speaking apes instead of sign language showcased how much the apes have evolved in the 10 years since the first movie. Even with The human dialogue has vastly improved and I found myself actually liking the human leads. Well, really just Malcolm, the only human who gets character development. The rest of the humans, Gary Oldman included, have little or nothing to do for most of the movie. Not necessarily a bad thing as we get to focus on the ape/human relations, but wanting the audience to suddenly care about these characters late in the movie causes issues when we could care less if they live or die.
The special effects are simply astonishing. The line between practical effects and CGI was very blurred throughout Dawn. I found myself saying, "Well that has to be an ape suit," and finding out later that I was quite wrong. The late action sequence looks beautiful and decent in 3D (I was forced to see it this way). The level of detail on the hair, added with it constantly raining, made the effects that much more impressive. While a marvelous work of CGI, the monkey double wielding machine guns on a horse going through fire broke the illusion a bit. What was a tense moment now had the audience laughing and sets the wrong tone for the end of the movie. But hey, it's a monkey on a horse holding two machine guns jumping through fire. It might be the most badass thing of the summer.
Michael Giacchino (composer for the Star Trek reboot movies and LOST) composes a bombastic soundtrack. He starts the score of softly, but as the apes slowly take over the drums and brass pick up. While some weren't a fan of the movie, most everyone agreed the score was very good.
Andy Serkis is a motion capture god in this movie, but I found his performance as Caesar not as great as Rise. That's a hard performance to live up to as we saw Caesar grown up to become the hero we see in Dawn. Jason Clarke is likable as the main human Malcolm. The rest of the humans kind of float into the background except for Kirk Acevedo, who is terrible as the asshole who starts the ape vs. human war. While I'm one to not place complete blame on the actor as the script calls for him to be an ass, he just isn't likable in any way. Why would a group bring him along anywhere if he is just going to be an ass 24/7? The guy shoots an ape, and you want to bring him along…WHERE THE APE HE SHOT IS?!
Kerri Russel is good as Malcolm's girlfriend. She's likable enough that we worry about her a little when the monkey doo doo starts hitting the fan. Gary Oldman in Dawn is the same as Brian Cranston in Godzilla. Big name star to put on the movie poster but is barely in the final product. I somewhat forgot he was in the movie when his character popped up in the final act.
With most Hollywood franchises these days, there is normally some feeling of continuance that leaves an audience wanting more. There are always sequels so why not leave them wanting to see the next movie already? But Dawn had some closure at the end. If they never made another Apes movie (psh, yeah right) I wouldn't feel like I needed to see more. If the later Apes movies hadn't mucked up the timeline so much, I'd say Rise and Dawn work well as prequels to the 1968 original. But it looks like a third one will be out in two years and be called Planet of the Apes
While I did not stay to confirm, there isn't an after credits sequence.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes gets 4/5.

Mayor Sam Adams' proposed "Bicycle Plan for 2030" will probably sail through City Council with a 5-0 vote when it comes up Feb. 4.
That doesn't mean the plan will be implemented.
The drive to get Portlanders to make more than one-quarter of their daily trips by bike by 2030 still lacks the one thing no amount of political unanimity can produce: cold, hard cash. To make the 20-year plan a reality, Portland's Bureau of Transportation says it needs $600 million, which is more than the city's entire general fund for one year.
So far, the Transportation Bureau has identified only $10 million to $14 million total for the next five years to begin to expand the city's network of bikeways from 300 miles to 962 miles, create more bicycle parking citywide and improve the safety of kids riding their bikes to school, among other projects.
"There's no question we have to work on finding new revenue streams," says Chris Smith, a member of Portland's Planning Commission. The volunteer commission advises City Council and unanimously approved the bike plan in November.
As if the lack of money were not a big enough speed bump, that $600 million figure from the Transportation Bureau might need more vetting. Three years in the making, the bike plan currently lacks a second opinion on its ultimate cost. As of Jan. 26, the Portland Bureau of Transportation had not asked the city budget gurus at the Office of Management and Finance to conduct an independent fiscal impact study of the plan.
As part of its regular duties, the budget office does give city commissioners cost estimates for all items that the council votes on each week. But those figures from the budget office are typically based on individual bureaus' calculations —unless a separate study is conducted.
The lack of dedicated funding is a problem even the plan's most vociferous proponents recognize. "It's a good deal, but it's not a free deal," says Michelle Poyourow, a spokeswoman for the Bicycle Transportation Alliance.
And the current recession adds yet another barrier. When City Council votes on the bike plan next week, it will also be considering cuts to city programs many consider equally important. Among those other programs are efforts to combat homelessness and promote public safety. By Feb. 1, all city bureaus must give the Office of Management and Finance their proposed list of cuts to achieve savings of 4 percent in the 2010-11 budget.
The current financial forecast shows Portland faces a budget gap of between $15 million and $16 million for the next fiscal year, which starts in July. All city bureaus have collectively identified about $9 million in possible cuts. The Office of Management and Finance has identified an additional $2 million in one-time funding to cushion the cuts next year. That leaves a hole of $4 million to $5 million, and that's without the addition of new projects like those proposed under the bike plan.
The biggest institutional advocate for the bike plan, the Bicycle Transportation Alliance, is rallying its pro-bike supporters for a demonstration at City Hall on the afternoon of the bike plan's Feb. 4 hearing. The BTA, founded in 1990, hopes to remind City Council of the benefits of biking over driving and the relative value of investing in bicycle transportation infrastructure compared with traditional roads. (The BTA currently gets about one-quarter of its funding from contracts with the Portland Bureau of Transportation, according to public records from 2008.)
Mayor Sam Adams, who already has one task force of 32 people looking at options for the future of Memorial Coliseum and another looking at reusable grocery bags, plans to convene a third task force to study new methods of paying for the bike plan.
Poyourow is optimistic City Council will find the two tools it needs to adopt and implement the plan.
"It's money and it's will," Poyourow says. "There are opportunities—good opportunities—for City Council to find both of them this year."
Portland first developed a Bicycle Master Plan in 1996, when now seven-term U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) was a city commissioner.

Inever understood the slang term for sucking toes, "shrimping," until I saw her at dim sum, sucking the succulent meat out of her shrimp-in-shell, that tiny pointed tongue of hers darting into the pink carapace while her teeth held the two halves taut. Salt shone on her plump lips, making them look wet, engorged.
... in the Crave section
... from December 1, 1999
I'm not normally a foot girl. My feet move me through the world, and that's all. They're not particularly noteworthy or deserving of adornment or attention. But for her, they're the center of the erotic world. When I think of her, I think of toes curled in her crotch, clutching her clit, weaving through pubic curls.
First thing she did, the night I took her home, was offer to shine my boots. That seemed a little silly; I only wore dainty ankle boots, hardly worth the effort. It took me awhile to realize that wasn't what she was really after. That she thought of it as foreplay. That the true treat lay inside.
I finally figured it out one night when I was lying on the couch. It was summer, my sandals were off, I had my foot propped up on the pillow at the end of the sofa; my hands held some cheap paperback. She came in from the kitchen and didn't say a word, just knelt at the end of the couch and kissed my pinky toe. I put down the book. She smiled a shy smile, then bent her head and took my toe in her mouth. When she slipped her tongue into the crevices between my toes, I swooned, and she smiled, but her eyes stayed fixed to my foot in concentration. Her hair fell in front of her face as she moved her tongue down my arch and instep. She attended to my foot like it was the sweetest meat of all, nibbling my toes like hors d'oeuvres. She was practiced, expert, and could have spent hours there. I could have let her.
Later her mouth moved up my leg, leaving lipstick traces on my calf, inner thigh, but I could tell that it was an afterthought, to make me happy. She'd already had her treat. When her head was finally buried in my crotch and she'd put that tongue to a more conventional use, I slipped my foot up her skirt, between her legs. When I hooked the edge of her panties with my big toe and pulled them aside, I could feel her heat against the ball of my foot already, and when I rubbed against her lips it was like walking on ice, she was so slick. She moaned, muffled by my thighs, and if I'd had my toe inside her then I would have felt her clench in ecstasy, I'm sure of it.
There's no special word in the language to name the recipient of a fetishist's attention. But there should be. I was her willing subject from then on, the canvas for her affections. I wanted to watch her indulge. That was my turn-on.
It was later that weekend that we went to dim sum together, and I saw her with the shrimp. I shuddered, and felt a twinge along my calf. She looked at me then, as if she'd felt that quiver, and smiled. Then she sucked the succulent meat from the head of a shrimp in her hands, its small dark eyes opaque, staring out at nothing. She popped the head into her mouth and grinned, crunching loudly. She licked the salt off her lips, and then, off each delicate fingertip. Her lips were glossy, and I was getting warm.
I knew what I was, then: a delicacy, something to be harvested, consumed.
I was ready.

Cablevision and CBS Corp. have announced what they call a "comprehensive content carriage agreement" which sees Cablevision continue to carry CBS programming and offer Showtime Networks' programming to Cablevision's three million subscribers in the New York market. Cablevision will continue to carry WCBS, while its customers in central and southern New Jersey will receive Philadelphia's KYW and WPSG, which are CBS and CW affiliates.
via Broadcasting & Cable.
While terms were not disclosed, reader Mikey claims they are for $0.50 / subscriber / month, which seems like a credible number, compared with numbers we see for cable network carriage. That's a substantial new revenue stream for broadcast networks that is on its way to becoming standardized.
Here's a post with fees for different cable networks for comparison purposes.

Provider Vetting and Hiring
Before our providers are admitted into our training program, they must undergo and clear all of the following:
- A rigorous, standardized interview process
- Thorough professional and personal background checks
- In-depth reference reviews
- Complete education verification
Advanced Provider Training
Before practicing, all our providers complete a minimum of 5-6 weeks of intensive training at the Airrosti Clinical Development Center. This includes hours of hands-on training, classroom time, as well as patient clinics that comprise no less than half of their training time. The result is providers with a strong mix of professional excellence as well as critical patient skills.
Provider Oversight and Quality Assurance
Our provider analysis doesn't end when training is over. Based on patient feedback and individual provider metrics, the Airrosti Clinical Development Team provides ongoing management and coaching to maintain our high level of quality and delivery of results. We also maintain quality assurance through the following processes and systems:
- Quarterly onsite clinical evaluations
- Quarterly regional clinical round-tables
- Clinical mentoring program based on provider metrics
- Specific clinical coaching based on diagnosis-specific outcome reports
- Review of patient satisfaction survey percentages on each provider
- Third-party episodic claims analysis
- Adherence to Manual Medicine Guidelines for Musculoskeletal Injuries
Evaluation, Assessment and Diagnosis
Time spent with each patient is critical to rendering an accurate orthopedic diagnosis, potential differential diagnosis, and any possible contraindications. Therefore we place great emphasis on patient quality time in order to perform a complete medical history, evaluation, and assessment of the following functions:
- Orthopedic
- Neurologic
- Motor
- Functional/activity specific
To ensure safe and effective care, detailed clinical documentation is an integral part of the Airrosti practice. Providers must adhere to HIPAA policies, guidelines, and security rules related to all clinical documentation.
Medical Necessity
Our treatment model is built on medical necessity, especially as it relates to cost-effectiveness. Our providers are required to closely monitor patient improvement and adherence to medical necessity through outcome data analysis and episodic claims review. Treatment is only prescribed when a significant therapeutic improvement over a clearly defined period of time is present.
Conservative Decision Making
Testing is performed with best clinical judgment to establish or support the diagnosis or for the necessary treatment of the patient; decisions are based on documented clinical guideline contraindications.
Manual Therapy / Myofascial Release
Soft tissue and joint mobilization is delivered through a hands-on approach (manual therapy), using skilled manual/physical medicine to effect changes in the soft tissues (including muscles, connective tissue as well as fascial tissue, and joint structures) with the purpose of improving function and range of motion.

Active Care
Active care includes methods of treatment requiring active involvement, participation and responsibility on the part of the patient. Individualized active care will be supervised in-office, and the patient may be provided with instructions for home self-care. Active care in each phase of treatment only begins when the treating provider deems it appropriate to do so. This is based upon, among other things, the severity of the injury, the injured area, the patient's age, and other limiting factors.
Patient Education
All patients are fully educated on their diagnosis and treatment options. Airrosti providers will explain reasonable expectations for the resolution of symptoms as well as for the patient's return to work or other activities. Providers are required to document all aspects of active care. Self-care is reinforced with the patient through specific provider-prescribed instruction and exercises.
Post-Treatment Functional Testing on Every Patient Visit
To ensure that positive progress is occurring, each visit ends with post-treatment functional testing to measure the patient's demonstrable improvement.
Case Management / Treatment Planning
Treatment plans always include quantifiable, attainable short-term and long-term goals and documented progress toward significant functional gains and / or improved activity tolerances. If a contraindication or medical red flag is present, the patient will be referred to the proper specialist. Treatment planning is prescribed solely on an outcome basis, not by benefit design or allowable visits.
Differential Diagnosis
Based on clinical findings, differential diagnosis occurs when two or more conditions with similar symptoms to the chief complaint are present. The Airrosti provider will perform a systematic comparison and contrasting of the clinical findings.
Prior to treatment, the patient is evaluated for any underlying conditions that, based on the provider's licensure, experience and expertise, would modify or contradict the procedure.
Review of Current Research and Evidence-Based Practice
Clinical directors engage in ongoing systematic review of the evidence supporting the diagnosis and treatment planning for a condition by clinicians and patients. When new guidelines and evidence emerge that improve quality and/or results, the clinical team incorporates appropriate clinical guideline changes. In short, we're always getting better so our patients get optimal results.
Outcome Measurement and Reporting
Airrosti Providers are committed to obtaining outcome responses after every patient visit. This provides data for real-time reporting on patient results, cost efficiency, and ROI relative to actual claims data. Episodic claims analyses are routinely performed to validate our outcome-based care is both effective and efficient.

L'occitane Pivoine Flora Incredible Lip Shine Review, Swatches, Photos
What are some of the worst tasting offenders in your lip stash? Ya know, those gross, yucky tasting lipsticks and lipglosses you avoid because they simply taste too gross to apply?
Mine…L'occitane Pivoine Flora Incredible Lip Shine. Such a crazy cool gloss but such a bad taste.
Whoever thought it was a great idea to flavor a lipgloss like a fragrance is beyond me.
Released for Spring 2011, L'occitane Incredible Lip Shine was part of the Pivoine Flora Collection. This one has alot of awesome going on since it has a nice tack that keeps the gloss in places for a nice wear time plus it's incredibly shiny and gives lips a nice, pouty finish. I absolutely love how glossy this is and how it gives lipsticks and stains a mirror finish. The tube is ultra tiny but don't let it fool you as it houses 0.33 ounces of gloss!
Loves it!
The problem?
It tastes like the Pivoine Flora Fragrance. Dood, ugh…seriously, fragrancing and flavoring a gloss like a perfume should be illegal. To say this kills the entire product for me is an understatement.
Le sigh, my beauty life is so unfair!
You can still get this one at most L'occitane Boutiques if you wanna give it a whirl!
11/9/11 18:10 kharanya:
Most designer lipsticks are way too fragranced for me (at least when I used them). I'm looking at you Lancome, Estee Lauder & Christian Dior especially!
11/9/11 20:14 Ruth:
a friend gave me a DNKY lip gloss and it smelled awful! It was a purple sheer color and it was pretty, but I couldn't take the scent.
11/10/11 9:00 Sarah S.:
Ugh, I hate when lippies taste like soap, barf!
11/10/11 11:00 kiwikiwidragon:
I hate the way loreal lippes taste and smell!! Their glosses aren't that way but their lipsticks are, gag!
11/10/11 11:48 Anitacska:
I threw out my UD Pocket Rocket lipgloss because of the horrid burnt sugar smell and taste. It was a bit meh anyway, but just couldn't stand the smell and taste of it. Yuck!
11/11/11 0:17 Tweety:
I have this and I actually like it! It seems like perfume, but it tastes kind of sweet! My bf really likes it when I wear it and he kisses me. He says it tastes better than more other lip glosses (Stila, Cargo, Lancome, etc.)–just stickier.
11/11/11 0:18 Tweety:
Oh Muse! You forgot to mention that the lip gloss changes color by adapting to your lip tone. It gives me the most natural looking lips ever! I actually like wearing it on top of benetint for a more natural berry look than on my bare lips.

Company's strategy is to manufacture tires in the country where they will be sold whenever possible. In fact, the vast majority of their products sold in North America, are built in the 21 plants they have across the United States, Canada and Mexico, employing most of the 23,000 employees of Michelin North America, Inc. However, BFGoodrich is an international company, with manufacturing operations at 74 plants across 19 countries around the world. To meet the needs of customers by providing more specialized tire lines in smaller quantities, they import some tire lines into North America and export others from North America.182.35Brand: BFGoodrich Part Number: 255/45ZR20
The Goodrich Corporation, formerly the B.F. Goodrich Company, was an American aerospace manufacturing company based in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was founded in Akron, Ohio in 1870 as Goodrich, Tew & Co. by Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich. The company name was changed to the "B.F. Goodrich Company" in 1880, to BFGoodrich in the 1980s, and to "Goodrich Corporation" in 2001. In 1869, Benjamin Franklin Goodrich purchased the Hudson River Rubber Company, a small business in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. The following year, Goodrich accepted an offer of $13,600 from the citizens of Akron, Ohio, to relocate his business there. The company grew to be one of the largest tire and rubber manufacturers in the world, helped in part by the 1986 merger with Uniroyal (formerly the United States Rubber Company). This product line was sold to Michelin in 1988, and the company merged with Rohr (1997), Coltec Industries, and TRW Aeronautical Systems (formerly Lucas Aerospace) in 2002. The sale of the specialty chemicals division and subsequent change to the current name completed the transformation.Product Reviews (1)

Are my cats sabotaging my diet?
View EDDIEMAE's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from EDDIEMAE
Saturday, October 27, 2007
Blog Warning: The following blog contains graphic descriptions.
Blog Preface: My husband (James) and I work construction, moving from one project to the next�usually every 8-12 months. For ease with these frequent relocations, we�ve opted to live in a camper trailer. The trailer is large, in regards to comparing against your average camper; the trailer is small (especially the bathroom), in regards to comparing against your average house. We are accompanied by our 2 cats, Bobbie Sue and Ole�who sometimes make us feel as though we are guests in THEIR house. The spoiled felines have their own cat door, to be able to come and go, as they please.
Blog: Now, picture this...
6:00 a.m.--Alarm buzzes. I groggily awaken, while subconsciously pushing Bobbie Sue off my head and Ole off my feet. I eventually get up, without turning on the lights, groping my way to the bathroom--for some reason the bladder tends to fill up overnight. In the meantime, James gets up, dresses, and makes his way to the kitchen to start the coffee--he's speedy in the morning; I am lethargic...He turns on the light over the stove.
Okay, so here we are so far: James is up and dressed. I am sitting on the can, in an incoherent state of mind, rubbing my eyes. A soft glow of light from the stove is spilling over into the hallway. I have not had my mandatory pot of coffee. Oh yeah, and I have the bathroom door open--no need for privacy when it's just the 2 of us, right?...
So, there I am squatted on the toilet, taking care of my business, and from the bedroom comes this BIG mouse, moseying along, down the hallway, into the bathroom, between my bare feet, and heads behind the commode�remember, we live in a camper, so you can imagine how small our bathroom is...
Now, I�m not the wimpy, wussy, whiney sort of person, and in my "normal state of mind", I find mice acceptable--not necessarily in the house, but in an outdoor environment. (I actually had a couple of pet mice�Mickey and Minnie--in my younger days...until the farm cats ate them�) But now that I'm older and "wiser", I kind of loathe the idea of critters of such running amok in the house. A mouse in the house is just not right; I cannot, will not, find mice, nice! Mental note: my cats are lazy and overfed--must amend that situation!!
Back to the story...
So, as this blur of a mouse is making tracks through my unslippered, bare feet, I let out this deafening, ear-splitting, shrill, blood-curdling scream. I am not positive if I finished with the Charmin, before I found myself standing on the toilet, pajama bottoms around my ankles. A flash goes through my mind, where I feel as if I'm living an out of body experience, and I�m in some sort of cartoon or comedy sitcom--this can't be for real!! (Besides, those women are always standing on a kitchen chair or kitchen table�not balancing on a toilet rim!!)
Now, James is fiddling around in the kitchen, hears my scream, and hesitates whether to come to my rescue or to run outside and save himself--surely some stalker must have been hiding in the shower!! He collects up his strength and hollers, "What is it?!!" To which, I scream from the top of the john, "It's a mouse! There's a mouse in the house!! Quick, get the broom!!"
Well, without the aid of coffee, I'm now fully awake, and the cobwebs are cleared from the space between my ears, so I start to assess the situation: this mouse was moving none too quickly, so most likely one of the cats brought him in through the cat door, played with him until he was somewhat maimed, got bored, and let him go�(So there was a game of Cat & Mouse going on, while James and I slept soundly?!) This mouse was somewhat on the colossal side, my bathroom is somewhat small, to attack him with a broom may not be all that easy of a task, and it would most likely leave an unsightly mess, if we were met with "success.� Taking a commando charge of the situation, I barked out, �James, skip the broom! Grab the BBQ tongs!�
So, in one swift motion (well maybe a few unswift motions, actually), James is in the bathroom with the tongs. I perform a springboard leap off the toilet, over James and with a Bruce Lee �Hee-Yah!,� I land in the hallway�I think I had somehow gotten my bottoms pulled up at that point. I then proceeded to strategically block the bathroom door--leaving my "knight in shining armour" no outlet from the "attacker," because I'll be damned that I'll let that beady-eyed varmint (the mouse, not James) run free in my house!!
To sum things up, my hero snags the critter, drops it in the trash can, and lets him free outside. Although I find this somewhat unwise--as surely the cats will bring him back into the house as soon as we leave, I breathe a sigh of relief--which is the same thing I could have done, had I finished my business that I'd started on the toilet, in the first place...
Now that I�ve calmed down, many thoughts are going through my mind�The first question came from the inner brain--Since that incident really got my heart a pumping, could I count that towards cardio exercise?
More so, though, I�m thinking about why one of the cats would bring this mouse into the house. They are not hunters�Ole has no motivation and Bobbie Sue is skittish when the leaves rustle in the wind. I�ve had cats in the past, who would bring me presents such as mice and birds, but never had these 2 done such. So why now�what was different?
Hmmmm, different? Well, I�ve been watching my diet quite closely these past few weeks, cutting down on the serving sizes. Had I subconsciously put the cats on a diet, as well? Perhaps one of them resorted to hunting, as a means of survival? A quick glance to their food dish�oops--empty, other than a few kitty crunch berries scattered on the floor, gives credence to that theory. Hmmmm, different? Well, I�ve been exercising almost daily for the past few weeks, by cranking up the tunes and doing my rock-n-roll granny dancing. Ole has seemed perturbed at times, when I shook the house a tad bit, thus disturbing his catnap. Perhaps he brought the mouse in the house as a sign of rebelling against my new chosen way of life�I mean, I am upsetting his routine. Hmmmmm, different? Well, I�ve cut back what I�ve been eating, thus benefiting the cats, who now get the skin from my chicken and whatever leftover delicacy that I choose to leave on my plate. Bobbie Sue has seemed pleased with this arrangement. Perhaps she wanted to show me a little gratitude and brought the mouse in my house as a token of love and affection. Hmmmmm, different? Well I'm noticing small changes in my body--a little less fluff. Ole and Bobbie Sue have always enjoyed smooshing my soft spots. Perhaps they aren't liking the fact that my gut and boobs are changing and they brought the mouse in the house in an effort to throw me into a panic attack, which could lead to an emotional eating frenzy.
I suppose I�ll never really know why that mouse was in my house. I�ve made a mental note to give Bobbie Sue and Ole a little more attention, just in case this was their way of crying out for help.

That has to be the funniest thing I've read!
I'm owned by Theo, a nine year old Russian Blue that I adopted last year after putting the last of my "original three" to sleep after 15+ years. I think he's actually lost more weight than I have. When I first got him, he weighed about 20 lbs. When I adopted him from the ASPCA, they put him in one of those little cardboard kitty carriers so I could take him home, and had to tape the sides of the box to keep it from bursting open at the seams. He's a good cat, but he definitely loves his food bowl!

Eddiemae you are a great story teller. I know only too well what its like to have mice problems in your home. But I don't have any cats to help catch them or blame for bringing them in the house. We live in the country and when it starts getting cold outside the mice move in to the house. It took three weeks to find the hole they chewed in the sheet rock out in the garage, to get into the house and to catch the three mice that took up residence. I used sticky traps that have glue on them. I have them all over the house, in the kitchen cupboards, the closets, upstairs and down stairs. I couldn't sleep at night cause I could hear them in my cupboards chewing on stuff and caught one right next to my bed on nite. You never saw anyone jump out of bed so fast. The stress put me in the hospital with a panic attack. Got the hole patched up and things are quiet now, so I am better but still dodging sticky traps around the house. Boy is it hard to get one of those off of your shoe.

OK, EddieMae, I just happened to be drinking water and had just taken a big swig when I came to the part about you leaping up on the toilet rim with your pajama bottoms around your ankles and I laughed out loud and spit my water all over my desk and computer screen!!!! What a hoot. You really do paint a picture with your stories, and I love a good read. Girl, you made my night. I can go to sleep now with a smile on my face. Keep blogging, that was a great story. And reminded me of the time that my husband got out the BBQ tongs to retrieve a snake from our cat's clutches. Went to hurl it in the creek because it was non-poisoness and it landed it the tree and whipped around the tree branch several times, thus becoming a "tree snake". Thanks for sharing. That was priceless!

Whether the mouse was a gift or sweet revenge will depend on your state of mind...are you a pessimist or an optimist. My de-clawed cat brings me bird heads and mouse pieces to say thankyou for the hospitality...almost got fined because she went fishing in someone's pond...and caught some...she's amazing!
Ever thought of writing? Something you can do where ever you travel...and you do have a nice/hilarious way of stringing ideas together...

i think laughing counts as cardio too. thanks for the workout.
when my husband and i first married we lived in an old small house located between two cornfields. by spring we could trap enough mice to make a fur coat. we would shake our coats before putting them on to make sure there weren't any mice in the pockets. we didn't have any cats. guess we should have.
your are hilarious! keep us laughing.

Ever read David Sedaris? You have the same storytelling skill - painting disarmingly detailed pictures with your witty narrative. I love his warm humor, and feel the same way about yours. Thanks for sharing!
My cats have sabotaged me in in several ways throughout this journey. They sit on me constantly (a collective 32 lbs!) when I should be moving around. One of the them even bit into my latex exercise band while I was using it - causing an IMMEDIATE and DRAMATIC tear (and me to go shooting backwards!). I have to believe that they still love and want the best for us. . .

You needed my little "rat terriers" that I adopted who were supposed to be "Chihuahua mix" according to the pound (they'll say anthing to get rid of them so they don't have to put them down, and who can blame them!?) who killed (so far) two chipmonks and brought them to the front door steps, only to surpass themselves yesterday by digging up and killing a pesk mole (Hooray for the little darlings, because I hate moles eating my bulbs~jonquil, daffodil, surpise lily, tulips, elephant ears, Easter lilies, day lilies, narcissis, etc., etc.). Of course, they got nasty, I had to work and my sweety hubby didn't, so guess who had the pleasure of bathing the little darlings--he!he! :)
