I, like many of you, love this time of year.
Thanksgiving is a wonderful time for family gatherings, particularly for those families that are now living far from their roots that are able to make the journey to be together.
But not all families can make that journey in these tough economic times. That is when things like Skype and other Internet video/audio services help shrink the miles.
Then there are those families that are really struggling to make it from one day to the next.
Thankfully, there are some very generous restaurant owners out there that offer free Thanksgiving meals with turkey and all the trimmings to those less fortunate.
While some believe that chasing the almighty buck will solve all their problems, the reality is that a strong family bond and learning to live within our means is what really matters.
While video games are all the rage with Generation X and Generation Y, they might find that there is a lot more fun playing a board game like Monopoly or Snakes & Ladders leads to much more talking around the table with your family while playing the game.
I must admit that I do not own a Xbox, PS3 or any of those other interactive computer and Internet-based games. In fact, I still have my original pong game box that only had one game — ping-pong!
I guess it is probably considered an antique these days, but it still works.
I love the smell of the turkey cooking in the oven while the family catches up on what each has been doing over the past year and noting how the nieces, nephews and grandchildren have grown.
My wife's family lives some 6,000 miles away from Antioch so getting together with them doesn't occur that often during the holidays. But this year I wanted to give my wife a treat, so we made the journey so that she can enjoy the holidays with her sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews and now, grandnieces and grandnephews.
We'll have her family over and be preparing the traditional turkey dinner for them, even though Thanksgiving is not celebrated over here in Scotland.
In fact, it was just after Halloween that Christmas decorations were put up in all the towns and cities, and Christmas music could be heard everywhere.
I think more countries should have a holiday similar to our Thanksgiving. It might help bring more families together since it does not involve the exchange of presents.
I know that the Antioch police department and the City Council are thankful this year that the voters overwhelmingly approved Measure C earlier this month.
While there will be an oversight committee, they will not have any powers as to how this new revenue will be spent since Measure C was a "general tax," leaving how it is spent up to the City Council.
The real "oversight" will come from the public that will expect the Measure C half-cent sales tax revenue to be spent on hiring additional police officers, Community Service Officers and Code Enforcement Officers. And I do believe that the City Council will heed those expectations.
The Antioch Police Department has long held an outstanding reputation throughout the county for solving crimes and for convictions.
For far too long our police officers has not had all the personnel it needed to provide all the services that its residents expect, even for those "minor" crimes that lead to bigger crimes.
So we should all be very thankful that our police force will be significantly improved.
Arne Simonsen is the Antioch City Clerk. He can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com

Dental and Oral Health (Seniors)
Is root canal or extraction safe
Have been diagnosed with stage 4 nasopharyngeal cancer. Completed chemo/radiation in July 2007. It has left me with extreme dry mouth. In my country we don`t have access to artificial saliva. Most of my teeth are showing terrible signs of decay and have to do root canal and extraction to a couple of them. Is it safe to do so at this point in time? Many thanks.
I would recommend speaking with your dental provider and physician about any oral health problems you are having post-radiation/chemotherapy. In general, dental extractions in people who have had radiation therapy for cancer in the head and neck region run the risk of delayed healing, prolonged bone exposure, infection, and osteoradionecrosis (a death of the bone in the area). Usually root canal treatment carries less risk.
Please seek care as soon as possible and explain your history of care to your dentist so that they can treat you appropriately and develop solutions to help prevent you from getting more decay.

A Vacancy Transfer Model of the Structure of the Local Housing Market
Household mobility data derived from vacancy chain or turnover studies may be used to develop a Markov model of the local housing market. Such a model based on empirical data from the Detroit metropolitan area indicates a strong tendency for households to substantially increase their housing expenditures when they move. This finding is consistent with the filtering model of local housing market dynamics. However, these data do not support the hypothesis that more expensive new housing will produce the greatest number of indirect housing opportunities. New units at every cost level generated about the same total of turnover vacancies. The model also indicates that all types of new construction ultimately have their greatest impact on lower cost housing in established communities.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
I am a respected music professional in New Orleans. Recently a band member turned on me and began to slander me to several people in town...and his hearsay got back to my employer. This person wrongly accused me of being a thief and generally slandered me in any way he could. This has gone on for about 4 months now, and I keep hearing through other people that he is still talking behind my back to people. How can I legally stop him? He is ruining my good name and he will not stop. Also...he has been sexually inappropriate with me and several women I know. I know that is unrelated, but to me that shows a lot about his character. I have over 6 witnesses that can attest to his slander. Do I have any recourse in this matter??
Welcome! My goal is to do my very best to understand your situation and to provide a full and complete answer for you.
Good morning. Yes, you have recourse here. Itis likely you have a cause of action for defamation. Let me explain whatdefamation is and then you can make the determination whether or not it issomething you wish to pursue. Iam going to provide you information on both slander and libel since they are soclosely related and so often confused with each other. They are civil injuriesthat harm reputation, cause a reduction in respect, regard or confidence, orcause disparaging, hostile or disagreeable opinions or feelings against anindividual or entity. The laws regarding libel and slander are the same. Toprevail in a defamation suit for libel or slander and recover damages, a person("Person A") must prove 4 things: (i) another person ("PersonB") conveyed adefamatory message they knew or should have known to be false; (ii) thematerial was published (i.e., conveyed to someone other than Person A); (iii)Person A can be identified as the person referred to in the defamatorymaterial; and (iv) Person A suffered an injury to Person A's reputation as aresult of the communication.
Typically,before actually filing the suit, you would send them a letter detailing thesituation and demanding that they: i) retract all prior defamatory statementsmade, and ii) cease and desist from making any in the future.
Theletter usually resolves the issue because people hate to get sued. If you needa template for a letter, let me know.
I hope thishas given you information that has been helpful to you. If the informationseems more general thanspecific, please be aware that we are only allowed toprovide information and notspecific advice. If youhave a follow-up question, please remember that there might be a delay betweenyour follow up questions and my answers because I may be helping others ortaking a break.
If you do have any additional questions about my answerplease simply ask a follow up question without rating so I can provideyou with a fully satisfactory answer. Please be aware that any rating of 1 or 2 isreflected as a negative rating, reflects negatively on my performance, and Ireceive no credit for my answers.
Thanks for allowing me to be of service to you. Please beaware that the information provided here is not legal advice. Rather it issimply general information. All states have intricacies in their laws and anyinformation given is simply information only and specifically is notintended to be, nor does it constitute, legaladvice.

LAMPASAS – Lampasas lost the lead, but simultaneously gained a second chance, and the Lady Badgers did not squander it.
After building a 3-0 advantage against Stephenville with relative ease, Lampasas saw its lead completely evaporate in the fourth inning as the Honeybees used a pair of home runs to tie the score.
It appeared the Lady Badgers were beginning to lose control, but in reality, they were simply starting over.
Lampasas responded by scoring six runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, propelling it to a 10-3 victory in the opening game of the Class 3A bi-district playoff series against Stephenville.
Following the win, Lampasas sophomore Alyssa Maldonado, who finished with two hits, including an inside-the-park home run, said she viewed Stephenville's comeback as nothing more than a second opportunity.
"We knew we had to win and get this series in our favor," the shortstop said. "We were tied, so it is like a 0-0 game. It was like a fresh start. We got to begin all over again."
Junior centerfielder Blake Webb hit a single to start the Lady Badgers' furious fourth inning as seven consecutive batters reached base with the first six crossing home plate.
For Lampasas head coach Cassie Crabtree, the offensive outburst is exactly what she expects.
"That is what we always talk about — we have to win the inning," she said. "Whatever happens; if they get three runs like tonight, we've got to come back an win it, and we did. … The girls did a great job of coming back and scratching for those runs that we really needed."
The victory gives the Lady Badgers a 1-0 lead with the best-of-three series shifting to Stephenville for Game 2 tonight at 6:30. If necessary, Game 3 will be played at Stephenville on Saturday at noon.
With the top of the lineup thriving, Lampasas produced 12 hits in the opener, including a standup triple from Marisa Maldonado in the first inning that scored the Lady Badgers' initial run.
Lampasas (21-7) followed with a two-run second inning thanks to Alyssa Maldonado's hard hit that found its way into the right field corner, scoring teammate Blake Webb before touching all the bases and sliding into home plate to beat the throw.
"I was just running my little heart out," Alyssa Maldonado said. "That was the fastest I've ever run — ever."
The 3-0 advantage held until the top of the fourth inning, when Stephenville's Sami Shaffer hit a two-run home run to center field and teammate Chrisly Wells followed with a solo shot over the left-field wall one batter later.
But the Lady Badgers brushed off the rally with a six-hit showing in the bottom half of the inning with Blakeli Brookreson's two-RBI single, which finished with her on third base following a throwing error, igniting the team.
The left fielder went 4 for 4 in the game on a quartet of singles, scoring three times, including the contest's final run off a double from Marisa Maldonado, who was 3 for 4, hitting a single, double and triple, with three RBIs.
"I felt way more confident than I have in any other game," Brookreson said. "I was pretty excited to go 4 for 4. That was my first time ever to do that."
Lampasas' big fourth inning also allowed freshman pitcher Sienna Lawson to recover mentally after having her confidence rattled by giving up the pair of home runs, according to Crabtree.
"It is always nice to have that little bit of cushion, but when things go bad, you have to refocus somehow," she said. "Her teammates allowed her to refocus, regain her command in the circle and be in charge. That's what teammates are for. They had her back."
Outside of the fourth inning, Lawson only gave up two hits to Stephenville (14-15-1), while striking out seven Honeybees, and defensively, the Lady Badgers did not commit an error.
While pleased with her team's overall performance, Crabtree knows it will take a better showing tonight if Lampasas intends to sweep the series.
"Game 2 is big," she said. "We have to be more intense than we were tonight, but I think they will be. They are eager, and they are ready."

Adapt-N is an online tool that helps precisely manage nitrogen inputs for grain, silage or sweet corn. It uses a well-calibrated computer model and high-resolution weather information to help simulate the complexities of a growing season within a corn field.
It was developed to provide more precise N recommend-ations for corn, based on site-specific conditions. It uses basic soil, management and crop information provided by the grower. By basing recommendations on local conditions, the tool improves N use efficiency, thus improving farm profits, while reducing environmental N losses.
The model was developed by Cornell University agronomists led by Harold van Es. Since this tool can predict corn N needs more precisely based on field-specific conditions, it allows for more timely application of N when the crop needs it. It adjusts N applications based on weather. It reduces fertilizer rates, costs and losses in the long-term, while maintaining yield. It helps to fine-tune sidedress N rates. It can determine if manured fields need additional fertilizer N, and it can determine if rescue N is needed after heavy spring rains. It helps answer the question if there is excess N after a growing season.
Adapt-N is mobile enabled and can be used on a smartphone, iPad or Tablet.
Adapt-N was tested for a year and a half in Iowa and New York. It was introduced in 2012 to Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Wisconsin. More states are expected to be added in 2013.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
hi! thank you so much for any help! the model number is XXXXX
I have even tried unplugging the stove and letting it sit for a bit to try and get the timer to reset (on the assumption its timer related????). I read something about if the polarity is wrong, I would get these symptoms (but that doesn't explain why it only malfunctions at night?) so I plugged it into another outlet but the problem persists. Last night I unplugged it, let it sit, plugged it back in, and then the stove top wouldn't work either. (ignitors not working, gas flowing). Got up this morning, it works like a charm, both stove top and oven. As I said, the whole ignitor unit on the oven has been replaced. Normally, the stove top works fine, the oven stops working (ignitors won't ignite) right around dusk.
really. no foolin. works great all day long. I'm gerflumoxxed.
I'm not sure exactly how old it is. My sister moved into a new condo, it was a gas oven, she wanted electric, so she sold it to me. It can't be too old as the condo was built in 2006? Of course, thats assuming they installed it new. I got the model number off the bottom of the stove, on the side of the drawer at the bottom. It says "model number" next to it, I thought that was a good clue. although I think I added an extra F. So, to clarify, its SF377PEGB.
I'm starting to think the Oven is haunted.....
ok I'll see what else I can come up with, thanks Bryan
its the SF377PEGB5.
thanks Bryan!
well I wish I was there thats for sure. the only thing I can think of is either moister in the unit that interferes with the operation of the oven, or something you turn on in the evening is interfering with the power supply . try taking a long extension cord and running this into a different room on a different power line and see if it works,there may be a power drain on something at night thats causing this

New Google Algorithm Change: Should Your Business Be Concerned
Google has announced that starting next week it will be changing its search algorithm to take into account copyright violations reported to the search engine. If a site has received a large number of removal requests, they will be dropped lower on search pages. While on the surface this seems like it is a good thing, it can cause problems for businesses who have been wrongly accused of violating these laws.
Despite Google contesting that they will be very clear on how they are using the information to affect the search results, there has yet to be a solidified set of guidelines for businesses to utilize to prevent lowering their SEO. This raises a lot of concerns for small businesses where online marketing and search engine optimization play a key part in leveraging their company.
Many business owners feel that this change will not affect them. They write all of their own content, they're small, so why would they be targeted. However, let's assume that the business is search engine savvy and uses a lot of keywords. If the new algorithm determines that the keywords are not relative to the site, this can cause a drop in the search page result. Same goes for content displayed on the page. Everything must seem relative in the new algorithm. This can cause problems for businesses that have advertising on their pages, generate a lot of traffic that produce comments, or display a wide-range of materials.
Another concern with the new search algorithm is that competitors can produce bad-faith accusations. Meaning, they can report a copyright violation that is completely false, in hopes that it will drop the other company search lower on the page. Google is defending this fear by stating that they will provide a counter-notice tool for companies who feel that they have been wrongly accused and will take action against those providing the accusations. Google still needs to make it known exactly how deep they are going to dig to investigate the claims.
This subject has been gaining a lot of press since its announcement, so the new system will be watched with an eagle eye. Small business owners can take a pro-active approach and closely watch their placement on search pages and stay on top of notifications from Google alerting them to possible violations.

Joe Torre Wants to Buy the Dodgers With Developer Rick Caruso; L.A. Rejoices
If Frank McCourt is the most hated man in baseball -- and in Los Angeles in general -- Joe Torre might be the most loved.
Which makes Torre's surprise resignation as executive vice president of the MLB, and announcement that he'll pursue ownership of the Dodgers alongside major L.A. developer Rick Caruso, welcome news this morning for skeptical bid-watchers.
Here are his parting (and opening) words:
"I am so appreciative of the chance the Commissioner gave me to see the game from a different perspective by working for Major League Baseball, especially during such a great time for our sport. I have made this decision because of a unique chance to join a group that plans to bid for the Dodgers. After leaving the field, this job was an incredible experience, one that I enjoyed very much. I want to thank the Commissioner and all of my colleagues over the last year, particularly the members of the Baseball Operations group and the Major League Umpires."
He may not have had too much success as Dodgers manager in 2008, but Torre is a real sports man -- unlike McCourt, whose only real connection to the team was his likeness to a Dodger Dog.
From "The Magic of Joe Torre," blogged by our own Patrick Range McDonald in fall 2008:
"While the Dodgers may not win the whole thing, they are certainly a different team from last year under their new manager. Under Torre's cool yet determined approach, the Dodgers play as if they expect to win. Even from the first few games of this season, it was obvious a winning attitude had come to Los Angeles baseball. The Manny Ramirez trade and Manny's performance have undoubtedly boosted that confidence, but Torre and his coaching staff laid the foundation for a successful season."

As for Caruso: While he's one of the better-loved developers in L.A., he doesn't have much stronger a connection to the diamond than McCourt. We previously put the Americana at Brand mall mogul on our list of "Top 5 Rich Guys You Wouldn't Want to See Take Over the Team," because, as LA Weekly's Dennis Romero put it, "Do we really want a trolley running through center field, a fountain at first base and paparazzi camped out behind home plate? Dodger Stadium is not a mall."
But Caruso and Torre could make the perfect pair -- the former on the business side, and the latter on the sidelines. Another point in Torre's favor: He hates the New York Yankees even more than the rest of us.
"I have great confidence in Rick Caruso's unique qualifications and his ability to lead a successful bid for the Los Angeles Dodgers,'' Torre says today. "In Rick, I found a partner who understands consumers and fully appreciates that the Dodgers are a treasured L.A. institution. Since moving to Los Angeles, I have seen firsthand Rick's dedication to business and people in Los Angeles. I am very excited about this new opportunity.''
Caruso piles on, saying he and Torre "believe in the Dodgers and Dodger fans and
know that together we will foster a winning culture and deliver a premier, fan-
focused baseball experience at Dodger Stadium."
Yep. Think we'll get along just fine. Now all that's left in their path to Dodgerdom is that unstoppable PR hulk we like to call Magic Johnson. And a couple dozen more suitors, possibly with more cash to dangle in McCourt's face. Ahem, Mark Cuban.

Got to open the Vader finally. Love it. It's a great concept for a figure, even if there wasn't the game.
I don't even think there's any KB's left in my entire state.
Quote from: iFett on April 8, 2008, 03:59 PMI don't even think there's any KB's left in my entire state. Isn't there one back up at the outlet mall place on I-94 heading west? Albertville?
The FU wave is still 100% rare in Pittsburgh... I've only seen Juno Eclipse twice, and most of the wave I've never seen in stores once (a friend got me most of my set). They show up and disappear here all together though... I've seen Marris Brood once, and Juno twice... Rahm Kota once I think... And the Evo Trooper once. I've never seen Shadow Guard, Jump Trooper, or Vader in a store. The Evolutions set is equally tough to get... Sells through before any of the others, however at this point the Wave 2 Evolutions sets are rare in general around here. Even the Jedi Legacy is sold out where it was "sitting" briefly.
what is the big indy toy launch. Coming out in may does it involve the force unleashed with the battle rancor and a new set of figures, if anyone has any links on this please share.

Defending myself.
1 Attachment(s)
I just bought a brand new gen 3 G21 and I bring it home Saturday. I've been curious about this for a while: when can I defend myself? I'm not going to have a ccw nor can I open carry. I have an example situation. Say I'm on my way from my house to the range. (I ride a motorcycle) I have my handgun in an appropriate bag legally separated (gun separate from magazines etc.) if the need arises can I use it then?
What state do you live in?
Yeah dude. That question has a very complicated answer no matter where you live. I would suggest some online research other than the forums. I know we are so smart and all but I for one am not an attorney. Start with something like handgunlaws.us and talk to the police from there. I see it as highly unlikely that you could dismount your bike, dig out the gun and mag, and get a shot off in a legitimate defensive situation.
The idea is to purchase a handgun to take a concealed weapons course so you qualify for concealed weapons permit. Then there is no mystery about how do I defend myself.
Ragecage... assuming you live in Cali( sounds like it) you have to a) feel in threat of loss of life and/or grievous bodily harm; and b) have cause for that suspicion.
I am NOT a lawyer, nor do I play one, tv or otherwise.
No state in the union bars you from defending yourself but you must learn the local laws anywhere you might transport or use your weapon. Only the actual situation is the key to deciding if that will be the judgement of others after you've shot someone. The possibilities are endless so their is little need in trying to go through the multitude of them.
First and foremost, Deadly Force is just as it sounds, Ultra serious and the use of it is always a major judgement call! Most laws in most states really put the burden on you to prove you feared your life or someone elses life was in imminent danger. They also dont want us taking the law in our own hands in their absence so if you cant convince all of them of your real fear, your probably going to prison.
The decision to defend comes with consequences that can be very good but sometimes they can be extremely bad. The good is if you live or others do because of your actions, the bad is the obvious list of things we never hoped for.
Capability is important, can you accurately return or lay down fire, if not you could cause your own death and others?
Is shooting the only and best way to avoid injury or death, if not, think twice before you draw.
Lastly, pray you never have to do it! Good luck!
PS, that thing looks too damn new, take it out and shoot the crap out of it, have a good time and do it safely!
You have been given some good advice above.
No matter WHY, anytime that you use DEADLY FORCE against someone, I assure you- your life will just have changed. You need to do some study of the laws where YOU live.
In general, you may use deadly force to defend yourself from GREIVOUS bodily harm, loss of your life, or reasonable fear of the same. Beyond that point, it quickly gets murky and complex.
Even if some of us here WERE lawyers, we are not YOUR lawyers. A good start would be taking a CCW class where you live- whether you decide to get the license of not.
I do live in California and the county I live in doesn't give ccw, there was some website that mapped out the probability of qualifying for those. Can I still take the class even though I may not be able to get a ccw?
Oakland carry with no permit?
I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by six!
IMHO, F**k Californication!

Diet Obsession Help!
Posted by Anonymous

I'm the kind of person who tends to obsess over things. My weight's fine (5'3 107 lbs). A few weeks ago, I decided I needed to diet and I started watching every calorie I ate. I realize now I didn't need to and I'm trying to stop. But this this where the obsession part kicks in. I still worry about every calorie I eat. A lot. How can I stop without gaining weight either?

Nexus 5 to have OIS?
Nexus 5 likely coming with an OIS camera
It would be nice to have a great camera, but it's going to take some major improvement to the stock camera app as well. However, I keep hearing about all these potential high end parts and am beginning to wonder if that predicted $350 still seems possible.
Different companies.
Google kept kitkat unknown since last December. Theyre "oops" was the video showing it. That may have been intentional to start all of the hype.
The FCC filings and photos are from LG. You can't fake an FCC filing, and I'd imagine purposely putting false pictures in one would likely land someone in hot water. The photos are not for the phone that it was filed with. Someone screwed up.
In the end, a very small group of people knew about the kit Kat name. That's easy to keep under wraps. Now were talking about multiple companies producing a product. If you look at all of the phone leaks from most major companies before a flagship announcement this isnt all too strange.
It comes down to more people having the information, and they're more likely to share it or leak it (intentional or not)
I'm still hoping they'll keep it at the same price point. But if its like $50 more, I wouldn't mind.
Understandable. I still like to think they are up to something lol. I guess I just want to think they may have a special surprise like the whole name change. I liked either name. Both taste good. I guess we will all know soon.
In a small way... I hope it will be priced higher
I purposely bought the N4 before they either ran out or the price was definitely higher than the N4 pricing point...
but that's just the selfish side talking; so I can be validated in buying the N4
But deep down, I hours the price is comparable to the $350 pricing point. Although, with trends regarding larger internal storage, I'd guess price will be set above $350....
But as we all know that's just a guess. The truth will come soon
Saw the lg g2 today, very very nice. If that's the basic chassis for the N5 we will have a great looking phone.
If the N5 is like the G2, I will be getting it for sure! The only thing stopping me from getting the G2 is the price. I just can't justify paying almost the same price as what I paid for my tv. It's just not going to happen.
Another rumor, this about an oct 14 release.
Nexus 5, Android KitKat debut on Oct. 14 sounds sweet but require grains of salt | News | TechRadar
This would be in line with previous Nexus device/OS announcements. A grain of salt indeed, but at least consistency gives it some believability.
Not sure if anyone has seen this render by Vovicon over on Reddit. It looks amazing!
Nice. I really like the big nexus logo in that orientation
The smoothed out edges make it look comfortable.
Vivicon got that render very close. The camera looks a lot better in the rendering.
They need to get a photographer over to the FCC A.S.A.P.
I think its gona be a cracker. Im gona try so hard not to be jealous
From what I can, and what do I know really, is that the back doesn't look nearly as glossy as the Nexus 4. That would lead me to believe it's not a glass rear panel, it looks more like rubber or plastic. Though I could be way off.
Yeah it does. Id prefer that tbh
That would be great to see the rubber type. I like to grip my phone.
Keep in mind many times these photos aren't the actual backing of the device. Preproduction runs
I don't think LG would go glass again, but its entirely possible.
The pictures aren't necessarily evidence one way or the other.
I ended up going with the G2. If they are similar, you guys are going to be very happy. If i could add an unlockable bootloader to this thing, itd be the ideal phone. And thats exactly what the N5 will be.
You already got that beast?
Is it the Verizon one with the "root status" in settings>about phone?
Yes and yes. Its an amazing phone. Finally some awesome battery life too. If they run the 3000 mAh in the N5, it should last forever. The LG skin seems fairly resource intensive and it still does great. Imagine it on aosp. Im thinking 2 day battery life easy with moderate usage.
Yeah I played with the G2 last Friday and woooooow...that screen is gorgeous!! Probably the best screen I've seen to date. The bezels are so small. Can't wait for the next Nexus.

Fragrance Review: Calvin Klein Eternity Aqua for WomenBeauty, Reviews, Skin Care
07 Nov
"A bouquet of aquatic florals and warm musks with a clean, natural elegance." Calvin Klein
Eternity fragrance for women from 1988 became a great success and got many re-editions, just as its masculine "partner." Eternity Aqua for Men was released on the market in 2010. Two years after, the house of Calvin Klein presents the female version — Eternity Aqua for Women.
Eternity Aqua for Women is described as a modern fragrance that wraps you with its casual elegance, charm and a touch of mystery. Its character is fresh aquatic, as the name suggests, enriched with woody accords and notes of light flowers.
It opens with an explosive mix of Pink Lady apple, cucumber, apricot and white peony. Modern bouquet of white flowers is at the heart of the perfume, including jasmine, tiare, gardenia and magnolia. Sensual sun-drenched woods, cedar and transparent musk are located in the base. (Fragrantica.com)
Main Accords
white floral
Scent Profile
I picked up a sample of this perfume at one of my local department stores and gave it a try. The initial spray reveals an intense burst of floral notes. I wish I could detect more of the fruity elements — the pink lady apple and apricot. I love pink lady apples, I don't know if they are available in all parts of the country, but they are my absolute favorite apples. They are a cross of a Lady Williams apple with a Golden Delicious. They are exceptionally sweet and tart and have a very crisp texture. I honestly feel like I am having desert when I eat one of these and they'd bring that pizzazz to perfume.
Ok — back to the perfume — again, I had wanted more of the fruity elements but I can detect the cucumber immediately following the initial floral opening with some watery elements and then next to my nose is the high concentration of musk to this scent, which is evident in the bottom of the scent and upon dry down. It's highly intense in the musk category so if that is not your thing, you probably won't want to add this to your collection.
I know that this scent is marketed to women but in my honest opinion I think it could pass as a scent for both sexes. Despite the many floral components it does not come across in an overly feminine way. Sampling this perfume I was having a scent déjà vu — I just could not put my finger on exactly I was thinking of and then I realized it is because this scent is unfortunately not anything new or original in its composition.
I think that pretty much all of the scents that I've come across with some watery accords sort of end up smelling the same. I compared it to my sample of Davidoff's cool water and even though several of the notes are different Aqua comes across very similarly — just a lighter version.
Again, I wished that the fruity elements had been in higher concentration as that would have given this scent a distinct character. I think this perfume is very nice, I enjoyed wearing it — its light and has a cool refreshing quality to it but as for originality; it's just not there.
This scent is appropriate for day or night and is comes across with sophistication. Wear time was approximately 4-5 hours in the Eau De Parfum formulary.
Did You Know?
Everyone has a unique "smell print": No two people smell things the same way because each of us has scent blind spots, meaning specific odors we can't pick up on. So that room spray that smells like cupcakes to you and like creamed corn to your friend? You're both right. (Bellasugar.com)

I have an ethics question I thought I would run by everyone.
The company I work for has agreed to provide drawings for a repeat client who will be doing the work without a permit and the finished product will not meet code. This is an interior remodel to an existing commercial structure. I know this is wrong since the principal and project manager know this is going to be done without a permit and wont be code compliant. My question is what should I do in this situation? Should I tip off the municipality or just let it be? I have no involvement in the project or with the client but any consequences could effect me because I do work for this firm. I dont feel right about letting it go, knowing everyone who frequents this particular store when complete will not have the amenities to code benefits them. What do you think I should do or what would you do in this situation?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Though no doubt shady, there is a substantial difference between illegal work which violates zoning ordinances versus those that threaten life-safety. If it is the latter, you are obligated to send an anonymous note to your local building authority. You might want to do this after construction has begun to minimize suspicions. Truth is, in most municipalities the consequences for the owner are minimal (stop work, obtain a permit, modify plans) and virtually nil for your employer.
My professor told me many a story about the red tape that you get when your not in with codes, but I wouldn't care lol. I'd do my job and get the heck out of there to the next project as long as your not doing any harm to the environment.
architects don't usually pull permits. that is the contractor's job. if you design something that isn't to code, well, you will either have the owner come back to you to design to code after the work has been stopped, or you will have a courtcase when the firm is sued by someone who has been injured by the non code conforming work or nothing will happen.,
what part of the code is in violation here? a step that's 7.25"? toilet is 16.5" from the wall?
if it's an ada violation, you might want to tip off a lawyer for a finder's fee. otherwise, i think it's an interesting dilemma. since you're not involved in the project and are under the employ of someone else, i don't think you have any direct legal responsibility, but i could be wrong. do you have a license?
in my opinion, an architect does have a responsibility to understand the code and because of that i think they have a responsibility to tell the client their project does not meet code and they can't do what they're doing. this conversation probably already happened, and the client decided they don't really care what they are or are not allowed to do. rugged individualism and all that; damn gov.t is interfering in his business and should just get out.
your boss can still do preliminary design and schematic design and that sort of thing. if i were them, i would not produce a full cd set. what the owner or contractor does with those schematic designs is outside the purview of your company.
Your employer has rocks in their head for doing documents for work that they KNOW is a code violation, particularly on a commercial job that is subject to periodic routine visits by the fire marshall, etc. They definitely have legal exposure. Not to mention financial exposure, since if and when the violation is caught by the authorities, the client is going to use the gee-I-just-built-what-the-architect-designed defense, and they may try to stick your employer with the cost of the corrections.
Assuming you aren't licensed and aren't working on the job, you're probably in the clear. If you are licensed, you could theoretically have exposure in a major lawsuit since you would be deemed by the court as a "learned professional" who is held to a higher standard. Probably not likely since lawyers go after people who they think have the ability to pay.
Don't rat them out. It's not your job and could come back to bite you if they find out. Just avoid working on the project and make a mental note to yourself to find another job if possible and practical.
^ ++ except rat them out of it's a safety violation. From the comfort of your new job, of course.
Thanks for the insights everyone, it is an interesting situation.
To clarify some of the questions that have been asked: I am not licensed and we only have licensed architect in the firm. The code violation is centered around the number of toilets being provided in the space. Basically the owner wanted an office for himself in this C-Store so he is eliminating one of the restrooms and turning it into an office along with other work in the whole store. The project is currently under construction and currently has no restroom facilities due to the construction for either employees or customers. Our drawings do say "not for construction, for pricing only" and are drawn without meeting code, but there is an understanding between all parties that these are the CDs. Now that it is under construction the PM is signing off on shop drawings ect, as if this was a legit CD set. There is no contractor involved. The owner is acting as the contractor, something he has no experience in.
Not sure if any of these other details matter. I would be curious to hear other opinions. Thanks to all who have replied
lol. i wouldn't sign off on shop drawings. i wouldn't even review them. i would stay as far away from it as possible. if the owner wants to operate at his own risk that's one thing, but for the architect to get involved is just dumb. especially with owner acting as contractor. also, not meeting code is going to effect the resale value. i wonder if your client owns the c-store or is leasing?
not your problem. the PM doesn't sound too bright though.
i can't help but think you're off the interstate in the sticks somewhere in montana or maybe western nebraska where noone ever travels anyway, so i'm sure noone will notice the lack of restrooms.
The client owns the C-Store and property
and as surprising as it sounds this is taking place in a large suburb outside of Chicago
curtkram - I've had clients who learned the hard way that not meeting code doesn't necessary affect the resale value - something like that may not come up at all in the inspection, or be noticed at all until they buy the place, move in, and someone else cites them and now they are screwed and responsible. Unless they want to try to hunt down the original parties who did the non-compliant work, which is usually some LLC long disbanded or some local yokel who has skedaddled without a forwarding address.
mardix, this is pretty shady biz and I'm guessing you are already looking around for another place to work. If not, you should be. However, as this particular issue is not actually a health and safety issue, just leave it alone. Yeah, it's crappy to have one fewer toilet, but remember, municipalities vary widely on toilet requirements anyway and it's not like it's going to kill someone to have to wait 5 minutes to pee till the single toilet is free. Half the stores in Boston have no toilets at all. They seem to have the least stringent toilet requirements of any place I've ever seen. Anyway, this is the kind of violation that, if anyone ever notices it, they will be forced to pay a fine for off-permit work and they will have to renovate to bring the building into compliance. So the client will be on the hook in the long run. Just keep looking for a new job and try to stay away from working on that project. It doesn't sound like it's that huge of a deal though. I'd be more worried about other things they may be installing incorrectly since they're working off-permit already.

nap time problems!!!!!!
Since my DD was 2 months old, she has been sleeping through the night (10-12 hrs) and taking 2 naps a day that were a least an hour long. She is 4 1/2 months old and now all of a sudden she will only take like a 15 min nap!!! she does wake up earlier in the morning, which doesnt bother me, but the 15 min nap is killing me! I think that she is teething already, but its not like she wakes up all fussy and cranky, just her normal happy self! anyone else have this happen to them? or have any suggestions?
I think if she wakes up crying, she probably hasn't gotten her nap out. You might try giving her some Hyland's teething tablets and if she still wakes up, see if you can go in and pat her every 5 minutes until she goes back to sleep. It may take a while and it is a form of cry-it-out, so if you're opposed to that you might have to rock her back to sleep.
no, she doesnt wake up crying, its like she did sleep for an hour! I have those teething tablets, you think I should give tem to her before her nap?
I am having almost this same issue, she has been waking up and not really crying...just kinda swaking and quacking after 10 or 15 mins. I just try to leave her alone and see if she goes back to sleep because I want her to get in the habit of soothing herself back to sleep on her own. But if she starts crying hard I pick her up. Same thing in the morning, I just lay in bed for an hour or so listening to her noises until they get more irate and I go get her, sometimes she goes back to sleep for several hours though..I love those mornings!
its been a long time but my son went through this and it lasted for a short while then he went back to his regular schdule make sure she is eating well and pooping regulary sorry thats graphic but babies tend to be very literal lol
k, thank you ladies. At least I know others are going through it too:)

text: >From the iptables man-page, zipping down to the section documenting the "recent" module: [!] --seconds seconds This option must be used in conjunction with one of --rcheck or --update. When used, this will narrow the match to only happen when the address is in the list and was seen within the last given number of seconds. and [!] --set This will add the source address of the packet to the list. If the source address is already in the list, this will update the existing entry. This will always return success (or failure if '!' is passed in). What is slightly confusing is using -I (rather than -A) for the examples. -I used in this way inserts the rule at the *head* of the list. So, in this example, the second line is executed first, then the first one. I presume this was done so that packets arriving once you have entered the first command are not dropped until you've entered the second line. So iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent \ --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 4 -j DROP * if the packet is tcp and dest port 22 on iface eth0 and is a NEW connection * if the source IP is in our recent table already * if the entry was last seen 60 or less seconds ago, only (--seconds 60) * if the entry has been seen at least 4 times already (--hitcount 4) * update the recorded time of the last packet in the table to now * drop this packet iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -i eth0 -m state --state NEW -m recent \ --set At this point, we can assume the packet was *not* in the table above with an entry fresher than 60 seconds or 4 hits. This just adds it to the table, but lets the packet pass through. 2008/7/31 Michael S. Peek <email@example.com>: > Or to put it another way, how does iptables know how long to remember a > recent connection? And can I change that? That's what the '60' is after --seconds in the second command (first to execute) -- Jon Dowland http://jmtd.net/

President Barack Obama will be in Arcadia this morning to announce the award of $3.4 billion in stimulus money for "smart grid" projects that aim to lower electric costs and update the nation's energy network while including wind and solar.
The big winner in Florida is Florida Power & Light, whose solar plant Obama will tour, which got $200 million to install 2.5 million "smart meters" across South Florida along with additional improvements. Below, a list of all Florida projects (click to enlarge)

"If you want to go off real world experience based off numbers the .44 Magnum doesnt do as well as others at O.S.S. which unless you have been out shooting alot of people with different guns is most of what you have to go on. A big slow bullet is no more lethal then a lighter fast moving bullet. I would say a 125 grain .357 Magnum JHP has proven that without arguement."
Let me take you back in the Peabody Wayback machine to the days of the Old West. Or if you prefer, to the cemetaries in the Old West. Now count how many graves are occupied by folks who were shot with the .44/40 and .45 Long Colt. Quite a few. Those bullets were zipping along at pretty much the same velocity as the .44 Special. Now move up to WW1 and later to guys hit by the .45ACP. Funny thing, but there were no complaints from users of the 1911A1 of the round not doing it's job.
Now move to the police departments who were using the .38 Special in ANY loading, since the military pretty much abandoned the caliber for most uses.
LOTS of complaints back then of it not doing it's job after multiple solid torso hits. The .357 Magnum was supposed to be the savior of the .38 Special, but the police trained on .38 Wadcutters and carried the .357 magnum loads. Bad idea. The difference in recoil and muzzle flash was so great that after the first shot the cop was pretty much blinded and useless. Plus the only really good performance was with the 125 grain bullet.
I don't know what "real world" numbers you are using to complain about the .44 Magnum, but I think the names Marshall and Sanow may be the culprits. ALL of their findings have been debunked. The only reason they scored the .357 Magnum so high is because there were more shootings with it than any other caliber AT THE TIME. So the data is skewed. Plus they were reportedly connected to Cor-Bon. So they made sure the "numbers" came out to benefit Cor-Bon. Now that .40 S&W has become the caliber of choice for most PDs and civilians, I expect it's numbers to far exceed the .357 Magnum. Plus it's a much more controllable loading.
Bigger holes make deader souls.

Ardrossan Jetty - PHOTOGRAPHER COMMENT
Jetty of Ardrossan on Yorke Peninsula
Ardrossan Jetty - FURTHER INFORMATION
Ardrossan Jetty - Ardrossan visitor guide showing a virtual tour of 'Ardrossan Jetty' linked to an interactive map with local and travel information. 360° panoramas from South Australia.
Ardrossan has a long history of grain production and export. Situated on the east coast of the Yorke Peninsula in South Austlralia, about 150km from Adelaide, Ardrossan was one of the largest grain ports in the region.
This panorama shows the view along the coastline from the public jetty. The main grain loading silo and pier can be seen a little so the south from here, visible in the satellite view of the Google map of South Australia.
Today Ardrossan is popular for fishing and blue crab fishing. At night the jetty is also a popular place for squid fishing, with often very large squid being caught by line fishing.
Car: Ardrossan is on the B86 road. From Adelaide take the A1 to Port Wakefield and then the B86. It is about 22km east of Maitland and 75km north of Stansbury.

The Verdict: the risks of NL and AL-only leagues
With the major league trade deadline almost upon us, some trades already have had a major impact in fantasy baseball leagues. Two of the biggest involved the Chicago Cubs, who first dealt Matt Garza to the Texas Rangers, and then Alfonso Soriano to the New York Yankees.
Your first impression may be that both Garza and Soriano will see an increase in production by being on better teams that are in pennant races. That is accurate. But if you play in a NL-only or AL-only fantasy baseball league, is that the first thing that crosses your mind?
For fantasy owners in NL-only leagues who had Garza or Soriano on your rosters, you now have an empty roster spot with nothing to show for it. Players who are traded to the other league are rendered useless in most AL or NL-only formats. That can hurt your chances at a championship if you are not prepared. That is not to say that Garza or Soriano would lead you to victory on their own. But they are solid complementary players; you would expect compensation if they were taken off your team.
In AL-only leagues, fantasy owners now have two tremendous free agents available on the waiver wire. That is why it is important to keep enough free agent auction dollars in your pocket or do your best to manage your waiver priority position around this time of year to be able to acquire free agents who change leagues.
The lesson from all of this, especially in AL or NL-only leagues, is to pay close attention to the rumor mill. Certain players every year are the subject of trade rumors all winter and all spring. Those players can become big risks to hold onto deep into July, so you need to carefully evaluate whether it is in your best interests to take the chance that they will survive the trade deadline. Part of that evaluation must include accepting some sort of discount for these players. Remember, if they are risky for you, they are just as risky for someone else. That isn't to say you shouldn't try to get as much as you can for a player under these circumstances. But you need to be realistic in assessing a player's value when he is likely to get traded and there is a possibility of that player changing leagues.
There are some players who you just know going into the season are going to be the center of trade rumors. Garza was heavily rumored to be traded last year and it never happened, so we all knew it was just a matter of time before it did happen this year. Other players more surprisingly find themselves amid trade rumors if their team falls out of contention or contract extension talks break down. You as a fantasy baseball player need to be keenly aware of everything going on so you can be as prepared as possible to manage your roster if you own any of these players.
Of course, this is all depends on how your AL or NL-only league rules are set up. Some leagues could allow a player to continue to accrue points while he is playing for a team outside the confines of your league-specific universe. If that is the case, then this is all a moot point.
But in most such leagues, a player traded to the other league will no longer accrue points and is rendered useless. Make sure you know your league's rules and take appropriate action when it comes to handling players who are rumored to be traded. While rumors are not fact at the moment, we have so much inside information within the baseball and fantasy baseball community that it elevates your mere conjecture into an educated preemptive strike.
Print This Post
Having lost several players over the course of the past few years in my AL only league, I lobbied for players dealt to the NL to continue to accrue points this season. The commish was up for it, but when he threw it out to the league, people basically dismissed the idea outright because "it's an AL only league." Frustrating. Personally, I like diminishing the luck factor as much as possible in roto baseball. If you want to win because of luck, get your kicks playing fantasy football.

I love Adela, Hedwig, Ingrid, Josefa and Zita.
A lot of the names sound Austrian/German to me.
Printable View
I know many Jacintas and Irenes.
I've known a Flavia who was soooo pretty.
My family isn't Catholic and never has been, but it had several Idas born in the 19th C. Do you think Ida could come back? And one of my own names is Josefa/Yosefa (no hard J)
Iphigenia is kind of awesome. Dunno if I'd be brave enough to use it though.
I think that with things like Ava and Eva becoming more popular, Ida might be able to make a comeback, at least in a small way. I've seen Ada and Elsa around quite a few times over the past few years, I don't see why Ida couldn't come back.....not to mention it's similar sound to Isla, that's points in it's favor, too.
Glad y'all enjoyed it. And you're right, a few of these like Ingrid and Lea don't really belong. Mea culpa!
I think Ida could come back.
Funny story re: Ida. When I was born my paternal grandmother, whose name is Ida, arrived at the hospital, and my maternal grandmother, Marge, played a little joke on her. "Did you hear?" Marge said to Ida. "They've named the baby after us: Ida Marge!" Whereupon Ida promptly... fainted. :-) When she came to they told her my name was actually Marla Kristen. That story still gets told at every holiday and gathering. And she still recalls the horror at thinking her poor granddaughter was named Ida.
Funny how times change. Today it is perfectly plausible for a baby girl, and Marla Kristen sounds dated.
I actually know two girls named Alodia and Cinnia. :) I like Arilda, Iraya and Zaina. They're unusual, but I'm loving the saint connection.
On the subject of bizzare saints' names, I've always had a quirky fondness for St. Scholastica. Jokingly mentioned it to DH as a possible middle name; he thought I was nuts! But...Scholastica!
I think Scholastica is cool. Or the French form: Scholastique!
some fab ones!
Adela - gorge!
Asteria - like!
Kinnera - nice
Cera - I like, reminds me of que cera cera
Cinnia - Cynthia missing a syllable :) I like it
Edana - pretty, there's a famous Edina and I like Edana even better
Everild - lovely
Fara - one of my faves
Fina - another one I really like, but I like Finnah
Flavia - I actually know a little girl with this name, never really liked it, but she wore it well.
Gratia - I actually like Gracia, really beautiful sounding
Honorata - interesting, I like
Lucina - pretty
Oliva - gorgeous!
Petra - on my list, one of my favorites!
Prisca - another that's on my list. Love it, though I don't like Pris, so I can't see using it, but it's a beaute
Rufina - I like this :)
Sabela - lovely
Susina - interesting alt to Susanna
Verena - like

Snow Sports Industry Embraces Tablet Technology
Best Practices by Lou Dzierzak, email@example.com
The world of technology is changing at an incredible pace. Smartphones and tablets have become as important to snow sports enthusiasts as the latest skis, boots and bindings. More than ever, consumers conduct extensive online research about ski brands and products before making a purchase decision. Tablets allow consumers in the store to view product videos created by brands to explain and promote product features and benefits.
Snow sports brands and retailers who have watched Apple Store employees use iPads as point-of-sale tools and a vehicle for presenting product information are now finding ways to incorporate these tools into their operations.
Moosejaw Mountaineering use iPads and iPod Touch devices extensively. "All of our stores have iPads. We use iPod Touch tablets as mobile point-of-sale units with a cradle that has a credit card swiper and 2-D barcode scanner," said Eoin Comerford, president and CEO, Moosejaw Mountaineering.
Tablets can be used to compare competitive products, check inventory and present video product demonstrations to a customer who may need a deeper explanation about a product's performance or technology claims. "From a customer service standpoint, a tablet gives the store associate a lot better chance to be relevant and to have an informed conversation with the consumer about what they are trying to do," says Steve Rowen, emerging markets specialist, Retail Systems Research. "You are enabling the sales associate to do whatever the consumer needs to close the sale."
Many of the products marketed by snow sports brands have technical features that can require demonstration and explanation. Tablets allow marketers to present information in a variety of formats including print, graphic illustration and video. Combined, these are powerful tools for communicating a product's technology and innovation.
Helly Hansen has used tablets for the last two seasons to educate consumers about the brand's LIFA base layer product line. "Our content has focused on explaining the LIFA product line, why it is different from the competition and how to choose an appropriate product for your use," said Graham Gephart, senior marketing manager, North America, Helly Hansen. "Helping a consumer determine which product is right for them can be a challenge. Our interactive displays address that and offer videos and explanations tailored to the consumer's intended activity. Tablets and video provide a great way to deliver your message to the consumer."
Salomon's Freeski TV productions are popular on the brand's YouTube channel. Skiers are also accessing the content on their tablets and smartphones. "Salomon Freeski TV is the heart and soul of our alpine category. We want to tell great stories that will excite and inspire people, reports Evin Catlett, Amer Sports USA digital marketing manager. "We're also gauging what viewers want to see and experience and using that to influence the future direction of the series."
In addition to checkout processes, Moosejaw Mountaineering uses iPads to help consumers find exactly what they are looking for. "The customer who comes into a store has access to the hundreds of thousands of products that we have in our warehouse. If we don't have the specific color of the jacket they want in the store we can order that through the iPads and have the product delivered to them in a few days," said Comerford. "Using an iPad has really helped us to present our online 'endless aisle' selection of products, especially in the gear categories where our in-store assortment is a fraction of what's available online."
While tablets are clearly attracting attention from brands and retailers, Gephart notes that marketing managers need to think about how that tool is best used. "Our intention is not to replace a sales associate who know the product inside and out, but to educate consumers when that person isn't available," says Gephart. "Our approach is not just to drop the tablet in there. It has to be part of a holistic system of merchandising and display."
Marketing managers are also exploring other ways to use tablets to engage their customers. Helly Hansen is considering how tablets can improve capturing consumer registration information at consumer events. "We see tablets used not only presenting our marketing messages but using them for data capture. The traditional process of having people fill out an opt-in email application on paper is too slow and open to errors," said Gephart. "Consumers can use a tablet to sign up quickly at an event. There are fewer errors and we see much faster implementation of marketing programs after the event."
Comerford says, "We view the tablet as a tool for the shop staff to help the customer with the buying process not as a replacement for that personal interaction. If we lose that, then we might as well not have a store since the customer could just as easily use an online resource."
Best Practices
Managing a successful snow sports specialty retail store requires expertise in an ever-changing array of business operations. Human resources, event planning, marketing, product selection, social media and e-commerce are just a few examples. Lou Dzierzak has written about these topics for over a decade. Best Practices will shorten the learning curve by offering case studies, resources and how-to tips from experts in specific fields.

Another producer has decided to hit the booth. This time it's Irich, who's known for lacing several local hit singles. Read the write-up below then check out his 2 singles.
Here's one dude who's constantly building up a "signature tune" for himself, whilst constantly working with both major and also, up and coming artistes in the Nigerian Music Industry. "Irich" a.k.a "FRESH BEAT" is a prolific producer, song writer and also a singer, who's produced for quite a handful of known artistes in the likes of "YQ", "Klever Jay", "Side 1", and a host of others. His current strings of projects have got him dropping 3 fresh singles, on which he's got features from two different artistes on two out of the 3 singles.
The first track titled "Anytime" featuring YQ sidelines the lifestyle of an average dude up in the club, hanging out with his fellow dudes and having girls in the club flock over them. The second single which features "Klever Jay" is titled "Parawa Layo" and it's got a techno-feel, with a dancehall tune. The third single shows Irich displaying his singing capabilities, a song that basically talks about his land [Nigeria] and also kicks against girls who claim to be cool when they aren't, and it's titled "No Form Butty".
All songs have been produced by Irich himself, and there'd be more to come over the coming months… ENJOY!!!

Poor Mark Buehrle. Wherever he goes, his dog Slater is not welcome.
When Buehrle signed with the Miami Marlins before the 2012 season, he couldn't live in Miami because Dade County, which includes Miami, has banned pit bulls from the area. Slater is a pit bull.
Buehrle, his wife and two kids lived in nearby Broward County so he could keep Slater as a pet. And because he had signed a four-year, $58-million deal with the Marlins, he could pretty much afford the commute.

DigestApr 15, 2012 The Associated Press
Senate president seeks re-election
CHEYENNE (AP) -- Wyoming Senate President Jim Anderson has announced that he'll seek re-election to a fourth term.
The 69-year-old Republican from Glenrock is the first candidate to publicly announce his intention to run in the newly redrawn Senate District 2, which includes Platte and western Converse counties.
Anderson is also co-chairman of the Legislative Management Council, and he serves on the Select Education Accountability Committee and the Energy Council.
He served four years in the Wyoming House before being elected to the state Senate in 2000.
Following legislative tradition, Anderson said he would step down as Senate president should he be re-elected.
Anderson also said he wouldn't want any committee chairmanships, either, because he wants to spend more time with his constituents.
Migrations under way
GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK (AP) -- Elk, moose, bison and other animals have begun their spring migrations toward their summer ranges in Grand Teton National Park and surrounding National Forest Service land.
Park officials said Friday many animals will be crossing highways and wandering beside them, often at night. Officials cautioned drivers to be careful.
Mule deer, wolves, bears and pronghorn antelope may also be spotted along roads.
Man held in infant's death
REDDING, Calif. (AP) -- Police in Northern California have detained a 23-year-old man in the death of his girlfriend's baby, whose body was found off the side of a highway less than a day after the two failed to return to the homeless shelter where they had been staying with the boy's mother.
Sgt. Bill Schueller said that Christopher James McDonald, of Gillette is being held on suspicion of kidnapping and homicide in the death of 11-month-old Sabastian McDonald.
The baby's mother, who also is from Wyoming, reported him missing Thursday morning when she discovered that neither he nor McDonald were at the shelter. Schueller says Gifford asked McDonald to watch the boy the night before while she was waiting to be seen at the hospital.
McDonald was found alone in a park later in the day, and Sabastian's body was located Thursday based on information he supplied. An autopsy has been scheduled for Monday.
Agency puts on job fair for vets
CHEYENNE (AP) -- The unemployment rate for veterans who have served since September 2011 is nearly 4 percentage points above the national civilian jobless rate of 8.3 percent.
In an effort to help veterans bridge this gap from the military to a civilian career, the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services hosted a tri-state job fair in Cheyenne on Friday exclusively for veterans.
Jerry Davis of the Wyoming Department of Workforce Services says about 45 companies were to meet with veterans.
