One more day, if anyone is interested! http://deals.mamapedia.com/deals/the...club-april2013
I bought a few kits last year off someone on my waldorf second hand supply board and was happy with them.
One more day, if anyone is interested! http://deals.mamapedia.com/deals/the...club-april2013
I bought a few kits last year off someone on my waldorf second hand supply board and was happy with them.
Ook, I just can't justify spending on that today. It's so tempting, but Bodhi very possibly may have moved on before it even gets to us in the mail. I did just discover The Magic Schoolbus website, and so I feel like I just found another outlet for Bodhi to indulge his cute little obsession.
Bridget, this site is totally "How to File A Complaint 101", but I wonder if there's anything here that can help you.
The only other thing that comes to mind is maybe you could find someone to talk to in the media. We have these Consumer Watchdog segments on our local news, and - well, you're not a consumer in this case, but someone who needs an advocate in kind of the same way, so - maybe they have them where you live too?
I would like to share that the ridiculously loud snoring emanating from my bedroom is not coming from my husband. It's my Rottweiler. Snoring loudly enough to wake the neighborhood.
And shouldn't he wake up when I make noise coming to bed? He's supposed to be a guard dog. I don't buy you all that food for nothing. Earn your keep, dog.
And now DH is snoring, too. He's right next to me, and puppy is in his crate on the other side of the room. Puppy is so loud I can barely hear DH.

Oh no! Earplugs! lol
B I'm sorry your still dealing with that mess, it is ridiculous
Things are a little crazy, but I'm loving every minute of it My Blog
I'm sorry Bridget, I wish I had advice for you.
Speaking of noisy dogs, Bo scared the crap out of me last night. He was being restless in his crate when we'd all gone to bed (he sleeps in our room again, I forget if I told you we moved him out of Josh's room) and he was rustling around and he made this awful moaning sound. It sounded like an old man's ghost would. LOL
Bridget I vote for congress critter too. http://legis.wisconsin.gov/Pages/Waml.aspx
Actually my parents went this route when they were having issues with Sallie Mae. They have plus loans for my sister and me and sallie mae was pulling all sorts of shady stuff and they were getting NOWHERE calling them daily. Ended up getting routed overseas to people who obviously had only scripted answers. They were getting ready to contact a news station in Milwaukee on this problem.
But contacting their state senator (for them it was Wirch) was extremely helpful. His office was able to get through to someone at Sallie Mae in the states and they knew exactly who to talk to and the problem got fixed quickly.
Hey ladies! Kate, I laughed about the old man moan. But if I'd have heard it, I'd probably have grabbed a baseball bat before it occured to me what the noise was. I get really spooked at night.
Last night I sent an email to my certifier letting her know the details of what is happening. She called me this morning and said she walked downstairs to the office and told them she wanted it done now and and what do you know it was magically done by the end of the day. The authorization that is, I'm not holding my breath for the check. Anyway, she was very apologetic but I told her that after the summer I'm done and not ever dealing with this agency again. Also that I am not going to let this go. I mean, that superervisor told me that K wasn't working the hours she was bringing her kids to daycare and that was why they couldn't authorized. She lied. My certifier said she looked through the files and that there was never any discrepency or question of K's hours. I told her you know that means that women, a social worker, violated K's privacy by giving me that information but then to find out it wasn't even true? And had K and I not already established a trusting relationship, it would have affected the parent-caregiver trust and that is so important! I said I really thought that woman broke, if not a law, then an ethics code by doing that. She was silent for a moment before she said she completely agrees. Funny how they did in 3 hours what I've been waiting 4 weeks for.
I hope they surprise you and get your check to you fast.
I'm in training today, tomorrow, and Thursday. And then I'll be traveling. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep up. But I'll peek in each night if I can.
Training is killing me. I'm home utterly exhausted and feeling completely overwhelmed with everything I have to do before Friday. There's something about listening to one voice drone on and on and on...it wears me out. For all the yack yack the instructor does, it feels like our 'lab' time is just 5 minutes (although, it's supposed to be 50% of the time). I do better with the hands on stuff.
One funny thing I noted...I'm in training with Ted who is my system administrator. Faye gets on his case sometimes for treating us women like we're his administrative assistants. The instructor shared a really cool tool that's free from Microsoft that we can utilize to see what we have on our network and he looked over at me and made motions to jot it down. I did and I laughed to myself. It doesn't bother me, but if he'd had done that to Faye I think she would have lit into him in front of everyone.
I'm seeing that you ladies are dog lovers. Is it normal to crate them in a bedroom? I crate mine downstairs. But I openly admit I don't like dogs and wish my ex would have taken the dogs with. I would probably like them more if they were housebroken.
Today has been kinda a crazy day and I'm exhausted. I wish I had a nanny so I could get a nap in.
to all the ladies here that need them.
Well at least you have progress Bridget!
Cama....My dogs are my babies so I'm not the best source. but mine sleep in my bed. Sometimes the older one will go sleep on the futon in the office but that is just her. I only crate the little one when she needs a timeout for being bratty and whiny and not listening.....or when we are not home. And we did crate her in our bedroom when we were sleeping. When we leave it's usually in the living room.
I crate Puppy in the bedroom so he gets used to being part of the family. When he is older and we can trust him unsupervised he will sleep on a dog bed in our room. I think we will draw the line at a Rottweiler in the bed. My retriever who is now passed slept in bed with us and I miss cuddling with him, but he took up half the bed. My mixed breed sleeps where she likes but prefers to be near the puppy.
And yeah, they are my kids so they're part of the family. Housebreaking was step one, though.

I know people that crate their dogs in a separate area. They all seem to drape blankets over them and make like a den for them and the dogs seem happy enough. In fact, they'll often go in their own crate throughout the day for a break or nap.
Puppy does this. In fact, when he is up to no good he will take something (usually one of DH's socks) and go in his pen to chew on it.

I'm running around like a nut. Making lists, looking for my camera & SD card....and Conner is throwing a hissy fit about everything!!! I'm 1/2 tempted to call Rich and ask him to come get him, but I can't. I won't get another night with him till after my trip.
Ugh---WHY do they have to act up when we have things to do??!!
He's 12 weeks today. He has a doctors appt tomorrow to see how his weight is. If he gained enough I might be able to stop fortifying pumped milk and start nursing more. That would be so amazing. Maybe I could even like find a boyfriend instead of carrying on this exclusive relationship with my pump. Hahaha.
Cameron is very jealous of Parker and has been acting out horribly. That paired with my ex walking away has sent her into a spiral of awful behavior. I'm trying to accommodate her and Parker's needs and I'm getting tired. Very tired. I didn't even leave today for my aunts wake since I can barely stay awake. Let alone drive for hours with the kids. I'm on my phone and don't have the smilies box... Insert flag wavin guy here!
Hi all. I finally got my internet back working. After cursing AT&T and actually calling Comcast and being willing to shell out $50 a month for internet (which is a CRAZY consideration for me being that it takes a lot for me to pay the $19.99 per month to AT&T) they finally dispatched someone to my house and all my cursing under my breath about them was for naught since our dear dog Bruno chewed up the phone/internet cords outside. The tech guy was really nice and since I am such a people person and chatted him up the whole time, he didn't charge me to re-wire our lines. See...and DH says I talk too much most of the time, I told him it does come in handy.
Yes, I have missed you all. Even when my aunt was staying with us and I didn't have much time to type, I still kept up with my lurking, but since the internet was down for over a week, I haven't "seen" you all in a while. I hope everyone is doing okay.
We are having some great weather this week and I am still battling with killing my grass. I don't know if I shared that I am going to seed us a new lawn of bermuda grass and when I was going to do it last month, the dirt guy (guy I'm buying some dirt from, who-da-thunk that one could buy a truckload of dirt!) said I should wait until the temps are consistently 75 to 80 degrees since bermuda grass is a tropical sort of grass and won't grow if it is under 75 degrees. So I had already killed the previous lawn, which was practically all weeds and have had to wait until it warmed up since we are actually having a regular spring this year (this time last year it was 90+ degrees so I am happy about the 60s/70s we have been having since I hate sweltering and feeling like I am burning in hell, which some people I know and probably some lurkers may think I should be doing or may be doing in the future). Anyway, the neverending weeds have grown back so I have spots of dead grass and green weeds and it looks really ridiculous in my front yard with the crazy grass, but beautiful flowers since my irises, roses, gerbera daisies, clematis, and daylilies are showing themselves off amidst the mess of grass. We are going to hack up all the weeds this weekend, probably Friday either with a shovel or a sod cutter, then DH will till the yard and then I'll have the dirt guy drop off 18 tons of dirt in the yard next week while I'm at work. Hopefully the grass will grow after all this anticipation.
Mandy yeah I wouldn't want your big boy in the bed! I can barely tolerate my smaller two in the bed and I rarely sleep with DH since he's on a different shift. My parents two dogs have blankets draped over their kennels but they are still in the bedroom. Dogs are pack animals and most like to be around their families. Molly will go and nap in her kennel on her own....which is mostly kept in the living room because that is where the action is. Poor thing I think needs a bigger kennel but she seems to like it. She got slightly bigger than we thought she would.
Cama....can you find new homes for the dogs? Seems like they aren't really yours and you have your hands full. I just cannot imagine trying to housebreak and have a baby at the same time. We specifically got Molly when we did because I figured that we would have her trained before a baby came home with us. She was a LOT of work for a good six months or so with potty training and teething. Good news was that she kept me really busy and the made my first year waiting go by fairly quickly.
ERIN!!! so glad you're back. I'll tell Puppy to have a word with Bruno about chewing up your Internet cord.

Hi Erin! Ugggg trying to grow grass. We moved in June of 2010. Here it is three years later and my lawn still sucks. We tried a lawn service, we tried doing it ourselves. Just a patchy mess and it doesn't help the guy next door is retired and picks weeds by hand so his lawn looks great. We started doing well last year....then it basically didn't rain all summer and we eventually gave up watering. I need a dirt guy. Our dirt is mostly sand so the water filters through too fast.
We're thinking of covering our yard with rocks. Right now it looks like ... Well ... Dirt. Sad thing is, a truckload of rocks is expensive!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
We got Bo in Feb. 2012. The first night we had him we put him in a crate in the mudroom downstairs and tried to go to bed. He barked and howled (he's a beagle) so much we looked online and said it was common for beagles and to try crating him in the bedroom. It worked like a charm. We keep him in a crate because he can't be trusted on the loose by himself. He likes to get into things and chew them.
Welcome back Erin!
I know a rock guy too Mandy lol. Rocks are much more expensive. Luckily here everything is pretty cheap IMO. The truckload of dirt is going to only set us back $80 which is pretty good IMO for the amount of dirt we are getting.
I actually think it is easier to grow dirt up north than it is here due to us having such intense summers. I have bought some rain barrels as we usually get a good drenching a few times a week for 10 minutes each but it rains buckets during those 10 minute spells and I don't want to waste our precious $100 a month water (which will go up to $200-$400 a month if I water the yard with it) on grass so I got bermuda seed since it doesn't require as much water as fescue and especially bluegrass, which is VERY hard to sustain here. DH spent a ton of money on sod a few years back and I told him not to get it, he got a fescue that looked like bluegrass, which is my favorite grass so it was very beautiful for about a month until it died under the sweltering sun.
I always usually pick weeds by hand. Once we get the grass established, I will pick all the weeds by hand. Bermuda grass is a different green than weeds down here so it will be easy to to see them. The dirt guy said the kind of grass seed I bought should sprout within 10 days and we should have a lawn within a month as long as we water enough. Unfortunately, we have to water here 2-3 times per day due to the heat for the first couple of weeks and I don't know if the rain barrels will cover all of that, but it will help and since I am used to paying inflated water bills since my aunt was staying with us and they used a lot of water, I am hoping that it will at least be less than the $300 a month we paid when they were here. Water here is just ridiculous. In Ohio, I paid $30 every 3 months for water.
wow-that IS a lot for water!!!
I've never paid for water (it's included in my rent here) but my mom had to. Just a couple years or so ago it was roughly $45 for 3 months. It's gone up to $145 for the same 3 month period because they're raising the rates constantly
Our bill is combined water and garbage collection. I think it runs around $60/month. Except that one time when apparently there was a leak we didn't realize and they came knocking on our door to tell us we were going to have a $700 water bill. Seriously. I actually appreciate them telling us, though, and they reduced the bill somewhat and let us break it up into payments. They aren't as difficult to deal with as a lot of utility companies. The gas company is just evil.

Homebake Returns for 2009
It's always great when you get an email enter your inbox that warms your heart..... as was the press release we received about the fifteenth anniversary of HOMEBAKE, and who they have lined up for this year's edition of the Australian music institution!
Christmas has come early with the December 5th event looking like a cracker!!
This year's HOMEBAKE will feature the following.....
They appeared on the very first version of HOMEBAKE and were last seen gracing our stages ten years ago in 1999. Since then, their career has catapulted to incredible heights having become one of the biggest bands Australia has witnessed in many decades. With multiple platinum albums, sixteen ARIA Awards (including scoring the award for best group twice!), multiple APRA Awards including Song of the Year twice, and 5 number one ARIA chart album debuts as well as a long list of smash hit records they are truly one of Australia's most successful rock bands. They are unequivocally Brisbane's greatest musical export. They are none other than POWDERFINGER .
Having recently returned to the studio to commence recording their latest studio album with American heavyweight engineer and producer Nick DiDia (Pearl Jam, Neil Young, Rage Against The Machine) who was responsible for recording their hugely successful albums 'Internationalist', 'Odyssey Number 5' and 'Vulture Street', POWDERFINGER have chosen to record this new album in Australia and it's expected to be out by the end of this year.
Their HOMEBAKE performance will be the band's first major (& very huge) performance since their mammoth 'Across the Great Divide' tour when they joined local mates Silverchair on a massively successful tour of the nation that saw them play to over 200,000 fans. Having been graced with the recent accolade of scoring two entries in Triple J's hottest 100 ever #21 and #27, POWDERFINGER join AC/DC as the only other Australian band to have two songs in the elite hundred. Like Homebake, POWDERFINGER have campaigned and championed many causes over the years and, considering the combined history and like minded intentions, we are thrilled to have POWDERFINGER grace our main stage for their first ever HOMEBAKE headlining experience. Check out www.powderfinger.com for all the in studio updates and antics!
Speaking of mega stars (and with over four million album sales worldwide to date), multi-platinum Australian rockers JET have unleashed their new single 'She's A Genius' and it's already setting the airwaves on fire as a prelude to their forthcoming third album. Titled 'Shaka Rock' it's an almighty album revealing new dimensions of JET whilst retaining the raw roots of their debut 'Get Born' or the grace and melody of their last long player 'Shine On'. In the writing and recording of 'Shaka Rock' (which took place in Miami, Brooklyn, Austin, Sydney and Melbourne) JET worked hard to create 12 finely crafted tracks that owe as much to JET's past as to their future. The band also stepped up to the plate in the studio, working side by side as co-producers with Chris "Frenchie" Smith to ensure that 'Shaka Rock' would live up to their own expectations. It's with great excitement that we welcome JET to perform at HOMEBAKE which is promised to be a spectacular show on home turf. Their new album 'Shaka Rock' will hit shelves on August 21 locally and in the USA on August 25th.
This crew has been singled out as one of Australia's hottest live acts by press, industry insiders, and fans alike. Numerous sold-out national tours and standout festival appearances have confirmed this status. Performances in England, Canada, New Zealand, Korea, and Germany have proven they can take their sound to the far corners of the globe. They're lauded as Australia's finest hip-hop act and deservedly so! Of course we are referring to none other than Adelaide's supreme emcees the HILLTOP HOODS. Their latest release 'State Of The Art' debuted at one on the ARIA albums chart and was simultaneously certified gold. This follows the phenomenally successful album 'The Hard Road', which also debuted at Number One on the ARIA album chart and went on to become the group's second platinum certified album (the first being 'The Calling'). After winning two ARIA Awards in 2006, five tracks from 'The Hard Road' earned spots in Triple J's annual Hottest 100 and the group were awarded with the coveted J Award for 2006. Later the Hoods reworked 'The Hard Road' with the assistance of composer Jamie Messenger to create 'The Hard Road Restrung', incorporating the 31-piece Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. 'The Hard Road Restrung' went on to attain Gold certification and take home the 2007 ARIA Award for Best Urban Release. With these exceptional accolades, HILLTOP HOODS have not only risen to the top of Australian Hip Hop, but have cemented themselves a place at the very forefront of the Australian Music Industry and we are thrilled to have the hoods join us for our HOMEBAKE birthday celebrations.
Since we've been dividing the nation with each states most popular and iconic, there's another whom Homebake has been close by in their rise to almighty popularity and sales status. Coming from Perth, and commencing their career not long after Homebake started, they have become one of the finest exponents of pop Australia has witnessed in recent years. They are none other than ESKIMO JOE .
Having notched up a hugely successful career, they are now one of Australia's leading acts and they've recently scored a number one ARIA Chart debut for their amazing new album 'Inshalla' which sees the band venture into new territory with a new and invigorating sound. For a band whose sound has taken giant leaps forward, from 2001's 'Girl' to 2004's 'A Song Is A City' and on to the four x platinum mega hit 'Black Fingernails, Red Wine', ESKIMO JOE have stepped up to again prove why they're one of the most heralded and enduring rock bands around today. We welcome ESKIMO JOE to the stage at HOMEBAKE 2009.
And now for a very special surprise, we once again head back to another Adelaide success story. Brought to our attention earlier this decade courtesy of her spectacular vocals on the hit track 'Some Kind Of Love Song' by dance/pop genius, Friendly, Adelaide's most enigmatic pop export SIA has become one of Australia's most beloved performers since she left our shores to the UK where she rose to prominence as a vocalist for acclaimed UK act Zero7. Gaining enormous attention in 2005, when her ballad 'Breathe Me' sound tracked the final moments of cult television show Six Feet Under, it's been nothing short of a rapid rise to international and local success for SIA. Upon the 2008 release of her third solo album, 'Some People Have Real Problems', the video for her first single 'Buttons' became a viral sensation, earning a high profile endorsement from celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. It went on to become YouTube's second most watched music video of all time! In Australia, 'Buttons' became a huge radio smash hit. In the USA, iTunes named her album 'Some People Have Real Problems' the #1 Pop Album of 2008 and it reached number 26 on the US chart. SIA was invited to collaborate with Christina Aguilera who described her as "gritty and unique", the accolades don't stop there with Katy Perry declaring she's "a beautiful artist". Australian music fans tuned into SIA live with her first headlining sold out tour in March this year. We are thrilled and honoured to have SIA making her way back home for her first ever HOMEBAKE (& Australian festival) performance. Expect an upbeat, quirky set with an eclectic twist as SIA delivers her unique brand of soulful pop music when she takes to the stage in the Domain on December 5th.
And as Australian artists continue to conquer international markets far and wide there is one young Melbourne born, (although New York based) star right now scoring accolades from critics worldwide with the release of his incredible new album. Having devoted most of his life to a musical career, this extremely talented chap began his musical education from the age of four learning how to play the violin note perfect (by ear without actually knowing how to read music). By the age of 13 he was playing Vivaldi concertos - still without having learnt to read music notes. That was then. Having found a huge fan in Mark Ronson, a union was formed leading to collaboration with the massive internationally successful reworking of the famed The Smiths track 'Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before'. We refer to yet another of our most successful exports, DANIEL MERRIWEATHER. With his incredible new album, 'Love And War' recently released around the world and with a chart debut of number 2 in the UK, Daniel has worked tirelessly promoting the album performing at many events throughout the globe. Having devoted his life to this one ambition and musical labour of love, Daniel has become yet another hugely successful Australian on a world stage. In his own insightful words 'At the end of the day I didn't play the violin from the age of 4 to please the bloggers. Pointless pop culture annoys me, where a record becomes talking fodder or cool for 6 months, then that's where I choose to bow out! We are also very honoured to have DANIEL MERRIWEATHER join us at HOMEBAKE 09.
And now folks, forget the massive introduction as this man achieved a revered status long ago! And so with much respect and delight we announce the return of TIM FINN, Te Awamutu's favourite son, founder of art/rock pioneers Split Enz and one of Australia's most loved singer songwriters. For over 30 years Tim Finn has enjoyed a career that has produced some of this country's most loved and celebrated songs. From 'Six Months In A Leaky Boat' and 'I Hope I Never' through to his time in Crowded House (with brother, Neil) and songs such as 'Weather With You' and 'It's Only Natural', spread liberally throughout, this is a remarkable solo career that also produced chart toppers such as 'Fraction Too Much Friction' and 'Made My Day' With an enviable mix of critical acclaim for his albums and mainstream popularity, TIM FINN has always shrugged off any suggestion of legend or icon status…preferring to push forward with his songwriting, inspiring a new generation of artists such as Katy Steele, Andy Bull, Megan Washington and Josh Pyke in the process. TIM FINN remains a very relevant and important artist and, as with all true renaissance men, is now trying his hand at theatre (the Sydney season of his stage production Poor Boy runs until August 1) and film (currently working on an independent NZ film). You would think this would be enough for now…but we're talking about TIM FINN here, who in October will release his first ever 2CD Anthology capturing all his career highlights along with some exciting new tracks. His performance at HOMEBAKE 2009 will be a genuine celebration and if his recent appearances are anything to go by, it will be one not to miss.
We've known them for some time and have been fans of their unique and adventurous style of electronic pop alongside the masses across Australia. Since they burst onto the local music scene with the release of their debut album 'Dystopia' they've toured the world to much acclaim, in fact the prestigious New York Times labelled them "Cosmically synthetic, subversively euphoric" and NME gave their 'Into The Galaxy' track a seven star nod. Melbourne electro rock trio MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS deliver a sound of a band exploring time and space. It's like watching new stars burn into existence, and then disappear in a single flash. It's the sound of a black hole imploding under the weight of a sweat soaked, heaving dance floor. They've been hard at work recording the follow up to 'Dystopia' which will be preceded by a brand new single due for release soon. They'll offer an even more dynamic and energetic experience as they return to the HOMEBAKE fold this year! Each year, Homebake brings an element of surprise to it's line-up with the addition of surprise reformations of iconic bands not having performed for many years. Especially for our fifteenth anniversary celebrations, we have coerced two of our favourites from days gone by to grace our stages one more time. For those musical aficionados and Homebake fans, we are proud to present…
Before Jet and Wolfmother, there was one rock band that paved the way for many (including the aforementioned mega stars). Having formed in the industrial city of Wollongong in the late 80's, they were at the forefront of Australia's grunge rock movement, eventually scoring the guest spot to Nirvana's only Australian tour. They are know as TUMBLEWEED and they were massive in their hey day. Originally releasing cult records via the indie Waterfront label, TUMBLEWEED went on to sign to Polydor Australia (and Atlantic worldwide) releasing a spate of hugely successful singles, EP's and three albums all cementing their status into the mainstream charts with their massive psychedelic rock guitar sounds. For this incredibly special reformation, HOMEBAKE proudly presents TUMBLEWEED as they were (and as they appeared when Homebake first began). Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to our fifteenth celebrations the original line-up of TUMBLEWEED starring lead singer Richard "Richie" Lewis, bassist Jason Curley, guitarists Lenny Curley and Paul Hausmeister, and drummer Steve O'Brien.
As we continue to reminisce and present those very special reformations treats, we are equally proud to present yet another critically lauded act whom were adored by their fans and critics alike - as well as being well ahead of their time during their hey day. Throughout the 90's this band were seriously acclaimed within the alternative music scene. Renowned for their sublime live shows incorporating incredible visuals the innovative UNDERGROUND LOVERS proved to be a premier force bridging Australian music from the traditional drums and guitar rock of the past to the technology and electronic influenced music of the late 80s and beyond. It all started as the musical expression of Glenn Bennie (guitar) and Vincent Giarrusso (vocals, keyboards and guitar), and within the space of ten years and six albums ended up that way again. In late 1989 the band was formed when they extended their imagination and added the serene vocals of Philippa Nihill. The UNDERGROUND LOVERS played their first gig in Melbourne in May 1990. Two gigs later they recorded their independently distributed debut album. Their second album, the amazing 'Leaves Me Blind' was released in England even before Australia, after the head of England's cult label 4AD happened to be in Australia, heard the finished record, and offered the group a deal on 4AD 's sister label Guernica. 4AD's spotlight led to strong sales on import in the US. The Americans assumed the band was British. The British thought the UNDERGROUND LOVERS were in tune with the burgeoning Manchester 'scene'. The band's third album 'Dream It Down' became their mainstream label debut and after that various band members pursued other projects and interests. The UNDERGROUND LOVERS played their last shows supporting New Order during their Australian tour in January 2002. It is with great pleasure we announce a return to HOMEBAKE's stage from this unique Australian band in their original line-up coinciding with the digital re-release of their classic albums 'Rushall Station', 'Ways To Burn' and 'Cold Feeling' on August 22 through Rubber Records.
Hailing from the Central Coast of New South Wales this young three-piece known as SHORT STACK have certainly grabbed the attention of the Australian music scene. Over the last 18 months, the band has tapped into the power of the internet to showcase their musical abilities to astounding effect. SHORT STACK T.V. launched in July 2007 and showing self-filmed episodes of the band's life on YouTube proved to be a huge winner with the internet generation. They've clocked up over four million plays on MySpace with over one million plays of their second single 'Princess' alone. They're Australia's biggest You Tube band and last year they took out the Oz artist of the year award with music station Channel [V]. They've opened for prestigious international acts such as Simple Plan and Good Charlotte and are about to embark on their own major tour. Their single 'Princess' debuted at number 11 on the ARIA singles chart and with the follow up single 'Sway Baby Sway' out now followed by their album 'Stack Is The New Black' due for release in August these guys will be the talk of your town. Their music is a blend of many genres, including punk, glam, and indie, their lyrics are honest, witty, and tongue in cheek all stitched together with teenage confessions. SHORT STACK makes their debut performance at HOMEBAKE 09 and we are excited!
And the stars keep coming.

Originally from Melbourne although now based in the USA, this young five piece progressive rock outfit have recently released their highly anticipated debut long player 'First Temple'. With the average age of this band being just 21 years, CLOSURE IN MOSCOW, display a faith and commitment to their craft that far surpasses many of their musical peers. Their dedication and self belief is evident as they independently funded their recording, by taking on numerous jobs and selling their own cars to be able to work with U.S producer and engineer Kris Crummett (Dance Gavin Dance, Emorosa & many more). Recorded at Interlace studios in Portland Oregon USA with Kris they're currently making their mark in the USA as they conduct a long run of impressive dates. We look forward to CLOSURE IN MOSCOW making their way back home to Australia, for their debut HOMEBAKE performance this year.
He's a best mate of Homebake star Daniel Merriweather and recently released a debut album 'Talk With Force'. PHRASE ushered in a new era for Australian Hip-Hop with his raw subject matter and unrivalled sonic foundations courtesy of the Crooked Eye production team (J-Skub, Daniel Merriweather & PHRASE). The breakthrough single from the album entitled 'Hold On' solidified PHRASE's position at the fore-front of the Australian Hip-Hop movement. 2006/2007 saw him perform almost 100 live shows across the country, touring and performing with artists like Snoop Dogg, Bliss N Eso, Mobb Deep, Pegz, Method Man & Redman, Rahzel, Scribe, Mark Ronson, and DJ Premier. He's achieved a lot in this short two year period – from being a young rapper with a hope and a dream to being both an ARIA and APRA award nominee and later taking out two awards at the 2007 Urban Music Awards. Featuring collaborations with an Australian who's who of musicians including Kram (Spiderbait), Ian Kenny (Karnivool), Wendy Matthews, Daniel Merriweather, Bliss'N'Eso, Harry Angus (Cat Empire/Jackson Jackson) and numerous session muso's from Melbourne's magnificent live scene, PHRASE's new album 'Clockwork' promises to once again break the mould of what people expect to hear from an Australian Hip-Hop artist. Don't miss PHRASE when he takes to the stage at HOMEBAKE's 15th anniversary!
Album Artist, Producer and Engineer TIKI TAANE has spent the last twelve years playing to the world as a captivating front man for successful New Zealand band Salmonella Dub and in the last year with his own band Tiki Live. Doubling as an audio engineer for some of the country's finest acts, Tiki has boosted shows, musical works, and recordings worldwide with his unique gift for taking music into an innovative new realm. Representing Aotearoa New Zealand, Tiki has long-cemented the following of a vast cross-section of peoples from all corners of the globe and has recently released an incredible new album, 'Flux' to critical acclaim and scored high chart positioning in his native New Zealand. With access to such a diverse fan base, it is timely that Tiki has embarked on his highly anticipated solo artist career, showcasing his talents and we welcome one of NZ's extraordinary artists to the HOMEBAKE bill.
This Sydney based collective have been critically acclaimed since the breakthrough release of their exquisite accompaniment for the acclaimed Australian film 'Somersault' (2004). Late last year they completed recording their new album 'They Blind The Stars, And The Wild Team' a double disc recorded with Scott Coburn in Seattle which is currently sitting at number 4 on iTunes top ten alternative albums. Their new tracks portray a unique skilled ability with which DECODER RING has perfected over close to a decade for taking an instrumental track from the gentle throb of Neu!-styled Krautrock to the full rolling force of contemporary post-rock combined with the finest electronic moments. But it's not just the film connection which evokes the cinematic description when it comes to Decoder Ring, they are thought of as cinematic because it truly is – a group which creates the sort of music that paints landscapes. Their hypnotic and catchy as all get-up new single 'Beat The Twilight' reveals a fitting return for the band with their trademark sound enveloped beautifully with progression. Expect an edgy yet upbeat, propulsive, technicolour set when DECODER RING take to the stage at HOMEBAKE 09.
With an ever growing cult like following these raucous garage-punksters from Melbourne have made some serious inroads since their last HOMEBAKE outing. EDDY CURRENT SUPPRESSION RING's 'Primary Colours' album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the ARIA Awards in 2008, it was also nominated for Triple J's prestigious J Award and took out best hard rock/punk album at the AIR (Australian Independent Record Labels Association) Awards last year. In March this year the band scored the coveted Australian Music Prize for best album of the year. Currently busy working on new material you can expect an energetic set pumped full of hard hitting tunes from these chaps come December 5th!
Since they were unearthed by Triple J in 2002, they've been constantly evolving but the core of the band has always remained the brother and sister duo of Chris and Pia Colonna. HOMEBAKE 2009 welcomes the Australian hip hop rock show that is BUMBLEBEEZ to the celebrations this year. Their royally titled debut album 'Prince Umberto & The Sister' scored a nomination for the prestigious J award with its dizzying trip through popular music from yesterday to tomorrow. Last November, BUMBLEBEEZ main brain Chris Colonna AKA Invisible AKA Prince Umberto, with the assistance of his sister Pia AKA ViLa and no doubt a ragtag bunch of Braidwood's best, wrote from scratch and recorded a brand new jam for every day of the month, the fruits of which were documented and made available daily for download. Expect to hear some new mashed up sounds from BUMBLEBEEZ when they deliver their amazingly energetic set comprising doo wop, garage, punk rock, hip hop, reggae, RnB, grime, acid and more at HOMEBAKE 09!
As an integral member of Australian new wave band The Boys Next Door, this Australian guitarist and songwriter received acclaim for writing their underground hit 'Shivers'. In the early 80's the band evolved into post-punk group The Birthday Party basing themselves in London and then Berlin (featuring ARIA hall of famers Nick Cave and Mick Harvey). His aggressive use of distortion and audio feedback was one of the distinctive elements to The Birthday Party's assault on their audience. We are of course referring to ROWLAND S HOWARD whose long and impressionable career has tagged him a member of Australian rock royalty. With a career spanning four decades Howard was a member of a host of post punk bands including These Immortal Souls, Crime and The City Solution, and Honeymoon In Red to name a few. His distinctive style of audio feedback – laden blues guitar is highly regarded and throughout his career he collaborated with a whose who of the avant-garde music and art world including the late Nikki Sudden, Henry Rollins and multi –media artist Lydia Lunch who recorded one of Howland's songs 'Still Burning' with Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore. ROLAND S HOWARD today resides in Melbourne and his live performances are somewhat of a rarity. In January this year ROWLAND S HOWARD made an appearance at Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' All Tomorrows Parties Festival in Australia to the delight of his loyal local following. It was at these shows that he presented the stunning songs from his forthcoming album 'Pop Crimes' in a set that encompassed everything from his hit 'Shivers' through to material from his acclaimed 1999 album 'Teenage Snuff Film'. His 'Pop Crimes' album is scheduled for a much anticipated release in September 2009 and ROWLAND S.HOWARD will perform at HOMEBAKE 09 accompanied by long-time faithful friends Mick Harvey (who has played with Rowland for over 30 years), JP Shiloh (Hungry Ghosts) and producer Lindsay Gravina.
These larger than life musicians were drawn to each other not just from a love of music, but their light hearted and jovial outlook on life. Consisting of three MCs - Trials, Hons, and Sesta - and a DJ, Reflux, they are members of Adelaide's Certified Wise Crew, a collective of Australia's greatest hip hop talent that includes the Hilltop Hoods, Cross Bred Mongrels, Terra Firma, and After Hours. They've built an enthusiastic fan base with their extensive touring including dates with The Hilltop Hoods, Bliss N Eso, Winnie Coopers and True Live. The FUNKOARS most recent release has the cheeky title 'The Greatest Hits'. Contrary to its title, the album was not a compilation of their best previous work, in true FUNKOARS fashion, the group declared the album of all new material, start to finish, their ultimate recordings. Expect big bass, big hooks and big wordplay when the FUNKOARS take to stage at HOMEBAKE 09.
They've recently been spread all over print media and on airwaves across the nation and it's as though this music collective from Townsville have sprung out of nowhere but they've in fact been nurturing their art for sometime. THE MIDDLE EAST delivers some of the most sublime indie folk music you'll ever hear. Their simply gorgeous track 'Blood' which is laced with the perfect sing along awe-inspiring melody has really opened up the doors for this young group. THE MIDDLE EAST will certainly engage the crowd at HOMEBAKE 09.
Coming from a traditionally trained musical background WA's SHOCKONE bring a unique sound to the drum and bass music scene. Discovering the sound through artists like Bad Company, Konflict, and Ed Rush & Optical, it wasn't long before Karl Thomas and Jay Burns, at the time playing in a metal band with members of Pendulum, were experimenting in the electronic music. Their electro funked out psychedelic sets have proven to be massive causing hysteria on dance floors with crowds portraying uncontrollable body movement, flailing limbs and general frenzied behaviour. SHOCKONE has proven to be a force to be reckoned with, not only in the studio, but also on stage, be sure to check them out at HOMEBAKE 09.
Canberra's ASTON SHUFFLE has exploded onto the dance music scene. In 2007 they climbed all the way to number 1 on the ARIA charts with their worldwide hit 'For Everyone', which remained at the front for 5 consecutive weeks. Their remix of Pnau's 'Baby' also held the coveted number 1 spot for 7 consecutive weeks, giving them two top ten singles in the chart at the same time. No Australian based super android duo has ever achieved this in ARIA music history. In 2008 they joined forces with another of dance music's dominators, Tommie Sunshine to record 'Stomp Yo Shoes", they then followed this up with a massive remix of the worldwide smash by Dizzee Rascal, Calvin Harris, and Chrome 'Dance Wiv Me'. They have also remixed the likes of Bunny Lake, Nu Coalition, and Rhys. And they still found time to complete a mix for the internationally respected Ministry of Sound Mashed Four compilation which they did alongside UK DJ/Producer Kissy Sellout, then toured nationally to promote the CD. Once their work there was done the super duo headed to the northern hemisphere to showcase their impeccable DJ skills and forward thinking productions. 2009 has seen the release of 'Do You Want More' featuring Danimal Kingdom, whom also fronts Kissy Sellout's band, and a remix for NASA's 'Gifted' which features Kanye West, Santogold, and Lykke Li. They have also remixed Grafton Primary's 'All Stars'. On top of all this the ASTON SHUFFLE has once again delivered a DJ mix for another massive dance compilation in the Ministry of Sound Clubbers guide to 2009 alongside the Stafford Brothers and Bass Kleph. With a reputation for being the best party starters you better be sure to get your dancing shoes on for ASTON SHUFFLE at HOMEBAKE 09.
This talented four-piece from Perth are one of the most exhilarating new young bands to hit the live circuit in sometime. They've recently completed a tour with WA's heavy rockers Karnivool as special guests on their national sold out Sound Awake tour and with live performances focused on their debut album 'The Parallels Amongst Ourselves', they've been embraced with open arms. The most exciting thing about the SUGAR ARMY story so far is it starts now. They are a young band with world class qualities, they defy branding yet they've stamped their spot on the must see list of the current live music scene. A SUGAR ARMY set is an adventurous and captivating journey filled with the sonic sounds of gritty riffs intertwined with driving rhythms, topped off with inimitable vocals. Expect nothing short of infectious brilliance from SUGAR ARMY when they take to the stage at HOMEBAKE 2009!
RECORD PRODUCER is a new project for two of Melbourne's most talented musicians whose identity remain a secret but includes a master pop craftsman and a razor sharp beat smith who've come together to make heavenly pop hits. Their current single 'Good News' follows last summer's Triple J play listed, 'The Way'. The charms of 'Good News' are not hard to hear – the old school hip hop scratching, bursts of children's choir, a lock-solid back beat, groovy synths and hot licks. They're a little bit hip-hop, a little bit vintage 60s lounge pop and we are delighted to have the musical enigma known as RECORD PRODUCER make their debut festival performance at HOMEBAKE.
Each and every year HOMEBAKE embraces a number of charities and causes and despite the 15th anniversary celebrations, 2009 will be no different as we welcome the wonderful (albeit not so well known) organisation HABITAT FOR HUMANITY – being a non denominational, non govt, non profit organisation devoted to building simple, decent and affordable housing for the homeless. Homes are built using volunteer labour and donated materials. HFH have built nearly 300,000 houses around the world, providing more than 1.5 million people in more than 3,000 communities with safe decent, affordable shelter since their inception over 30 years ago. It is most unlikely that these families would have been able to do so on their own otherwise and that said, its astounding to note that a new Habitat home is completed somewhere in the world every 24 minutes! Habitat seeks to help people caught in a rent-induced poverty trap. Underprivileged families chosen on the basis of need alone, purchase their own homes on no-interest mortgages with Habitat. In their own simple although effective words 'By creating decent habitat we strengthen humanity, assembling the framework that translates into new lives and new hope, not only for those who will make a home there, but also for those whose labour and love embody the very best in people'. As we commence the many months of promotion for HOMEBAKE 09, we are proud to be aligned with Habitat For Humanity. For further information, please visit http://www.habitat.org.au

It started over a year ago.
Two college teams staged a weird game of Chicken. They wanted to see who could stay on the field longer after "The Star-Spangled Banner." Like any other childish thing, others rushed to copy it. The practice has come to be known as a National Anthem Standoff.
This past Sunday, home-plate umpire Zo Evans ejected three players and the acting manager of the Danville Dans before the first pitch was ever thrown versus the Terre Haute Rex. The teams are part of the Prospect League, a unaffiliated collegiate circuit, similar to the Northwoods League, meant to give players with NCAA eligibility experience with wood bats and exposure to Midwest scouts. Evans was enforcing an edict by the league to quash these sorts of displays. Eyewitnesses at Bob Warn Field report the four became belligerent when warned by Evans, thus their quick dismissal. There were no Rex personnel involved.
By the way, the Rex won 3-2 on a sacrifice fly in the 12th. Now, let's put aside the issue of disrespect for the Anthem. I think we can stipulate that we agree on that. So let's move on to the other two things here that bother me.
One is very simple: why would these players, knowing the league's order, risk getting tossed over a stupid contest of one-upsmanship? Moreover, why would their manager -- temporary or not -- not exercise the wisdom he should possess and impart the aforementioned fact to those players?
Would the Dans have won that game with those three players and their skipper? Maybe. Was it worth it? Absolutely not.
It's that lack of managerial guidance that leads me to the second part. I was reading the Rex team Facebook page the day it happened. One fan posted this:
"Why would a manager allow their kids to do that?"
So what about that, other than the incorrect pronoun [it should be "his"], bothered me so much? After all, the poster was on the right track. It is the manager's role to not only show them how to hit, throw and catch, but how to behave as ballplayers and adults.
It's that she called them "kids."
They are all over 18. They are all college students. Not only are they old enough to know better, but they are, in fact, not "kids"; they are adults.
Something about America I may never understand is how people can recognize 18- or 19-year-olds who choose to join the military and defend our freedom in the deadliest of situations as "men" [and "women" of course], yet the same people call a 21- or 22-year-old who chases a ball around a "kid." Maturity notwithstanding, in both cases, they are grown men. Why do we choose to expect more of one than we do the other? Why do we dismiss the childish behavior of the one who makes a particular choice?
The whole point of the Prospect League is for these players to grow. That means more than between the lines. That also means between the ears.
It's time to grow up.

Taking the Campaign to Primary Care Practices in the United States
"Many of the screening issues identified by the panel, indeed most preventive services delivered in the United States, occur within the context of the routine medical practices of primary care physicians," said Dr. Klabunde. "And a shortage is looming, since they now comprise less than a third of U.S. physicians and their number is declining."
Beyond CRC screening, "primary care physicians are faced with an expanding list of preventive services they are expected to deliver, yet the time to do so is woefully inadequate," she explained. "This is why it is so important to identify effective and efficient ways to deliver the recommended CRC screening tests to eligible adults."
Over the last 5 years, NCI has joined together with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to fund research that might improve the delivery of preventive services. From a number of different projects and published studies, they applied a "New Model of Primary Care Delivery" to colorectal cancer screening. An article describing the model, published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine in 2007, outlined strategies for enhancing delivery of colorectal cancer screening in primary care, including fostering a team approach, developing relevant information systems, involving patients in decisions, monitoring the performance of the practice, enhancing reimbursement, and providing training. Many of these themes were discussed during last week's State-of-the-Science conference.

An investigational screening test for colorectal cancer that detects DNA mutations or methylations in stool samples shows promise in detecting both precancerous adenomas and cancers, researchers from the Mayo Clinic and Exact Sciences reported last week. The findings, from the first clinical validation study of the next-generation test, were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research special conference, Colorectal Cancer: Biology to Therapy, in Philadelphia.
The test, which detects genetic changes known as methylation to several genes and mutations in the KRAS gene, identified nearly 64 percent of adenomas greater than 1 cm in size and 85 percent of cancers, based on known findings in the patients from whom the samples were taken. The test picked up adenomas and cancers regardless of their location in the colon, explained lead investigator Dr. David Ahlquist of the Mayo Clinic. The detection figures were based on a test designed to have 90 percent specificity, meaning it would be expected to have a false-positive rate of 10 percent, Dr. Ahlquist said.
The researchers used stored stool samples from patients from four different centers, but there was no standardized system for sample collection or storage, Dr. Ahlquist noted. Prospective studies of the test are expected to begin next year. Mayo stands to receive royalty and other payments from Exact Sciences under a licensing agreement with the company, Dr. Ahlquist said.

(RNN) - It didn't come as much of an election night surprise when congressional control stayed the same for the 113th United States Congress.
When they convene in January, Democrats will remain in control of the Senate with 55 members in their caucus, gaining two seats lost by Republicans.
Although Republicans lost a number of seats in the House of Representatives, they kept the majority with 234 of 435 members.
But within the biennial Congressional shuffle lies a once-powerful coalition of moderate politicians fighting to stay alive.
Since 1995, the Blue Dog Coalition has been a group of Democratic congressmen considered to be moderates. Members pledge they are "not beholden to any political party leadership, but rather the constituents they represent."
Identified among colleagues as "fiscally conservative Democrats," the Blue Dogs are some of the most independent members of Congress. They tend to pay particular attention to spending and budgeting, all while trying to bridge the gap between Democrats and Republicans.
"Always beginning negotiations from extreme positions doesn't help achieve the legislative compromise our nation so desperately needs," the Blue Dog Coalition said in a statement. "It also doesn't assure the moderate voters who decide elections in swing districts that the Democratic Party is moderate."
So why have Blue Dogs continued to dwindle?
According to Republican consultant Matt Mackowiak, it's all about the national political climate.
During the height of the anti-Bush momentum in 2006, Blue Dog Democrats were able to gain support from certain groups of Republican voters who were frustrated with their party's leadership.
"Blue Dogs are often forced to be moderate by the demographics and makeup of their districts. Oftentimes, they're southern Democrats in very socially conservative districts that certainly go Republican in presidential elections," Mackowiak said. "But a conservative, pro-business, moderate Democrat can win in a good environment if they run a good campaign."
Mackowiak managed a successful campaign for Republican Congressman Bill Flores, who defeated former moderate Democratic Rep. Chet Edwards in Texas' 17th Congressional District in 2010.
Edwards was a 10-term incumbent.
Blue Dogs were able to use the political climate to their advantage in the 2006 and 2008 elections, but Republicans have been able to do the same since then and reclaim the House.
Since many Blue Dogs come from conservative districts, Mackowiak said Republican campaigns that beat incumbent Blue Dogs appealed to Republican voters because they connected their opponents to unpopular Democratic politics.
He said the success of the Flores campaign was helped by widespread disapproval of key players in the Democratic Party, creating a negative climate for Democrats.
"It was widely a conservative district and one that [Edwards] was able to hold on to for a long time, but it was never by a large margin," said Mackowiak. "But in 2010, we were at the anti-Obama and anti-Pelosi enthusiasm."
Once standing strong at 54 members in 2008, Blue Dogs helped give Democrats control of the house for four years.
The loss of Blue Dog incumbents in the 2010 midterm elections shrunk the coalition to 26 members, with voters favoring more conservative candidates.
November's election added to the loss, leaving Congress with just 13 Blue Dogs.
Times may be looking grim for the group. However, they still believe their coalition is the key to a successful Democratic party.
"What is so puzzling about Democrats writing off certain congressional districts … is that they fail to either see or accept the correlation between winning those highly competitive House seats below the Mason-Dixon Line and taking control of Congress," the Blue Dog Coalition said in a statement.
"It is not a coincidence that the reduction of Blue Dogs on Capitol Hill coincides with Republican control of the House of Representatives."
Due to their moderate views, they are seen in the public eye as swing votes for controversial spending bills. Some Republicans might argue that Blue Dogs' fiscal conservatism is all a facade, making them susceptible in elections.
"When I was on the Hill, we used to always talk about Blue Dogs having the bark but not the bite," added Mackowiak. "They talk about being fiscal conservatives, but they oftentimes vote for spending bills."
Another factor thrusting Blue Dogs into a downward spiral is a lack of party loyalty.
Although pundits have said our country is at a time where reaching across the aisle is crucial to legislative success, support of affiliated party has become crucial to keeping your seat.
The nature of being a Blue Dog prevents candidates from pledging devotion to a single political party, which can be frustrating during reelection.
Although this strategy works in certain instances, it tends to alienate some Democrat support. And when a Blue Dog goes up against a Republican who is able to attract both moderate and staunch conservatives, they become susceptible to defeat.
Meanwhile, the Blue Dog caucus maintains they don't want their fellow Democrats to lose sight of their party's message.
"We are not suggesting that Democrats abandon their principles. Rather, instead of always starting political debates on the far left, and only moving to the middle during negotiations, Democrats should begin in the middle and challenge Republicans to come to us," the Blue Dogs said in a statement.
Loyalty aside, the pressure of the election cycle on the Blue Dogs can be overwhelming.
"Most members of Congress only fear a primary or only fear a general election. But Blue Dogs fear both every two years," Mackowiak said.
"They fear primaries from the left because they're not 'liberal' enough. And then once they survive that primary, they try to move back to the middle and run against a fairly conservative and well-funded candidate."
Although there is no set agenda for the Blue Dogs going forward, the 13 remaining members of the coalition will undoubtedly be swing votes on crucial spending bills.
They will also focus on votes concerning federal oversight and regulatory review, energy independence and small business development.
Interview requests with several Blue Dog congressmen were either denied or not returned, including Representatives Mike McIntyre (NC - District 7), John Barrow (GA - District 12) and Kurt Schrader (OR - District 5).

By Amy LangeFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- Tuesday morning, Officer George Day and his colleagues from the Detroit Police Department discovered the corpse of 93-year-old Clarence Bright at his son's home on Eastlawn stuffed in a deep freezer in the basement."The family members informed us that the body was in the house," said Day.They had been searching since Monday for Bright's corpse and his casket. His funeral was Saturday, but his body was stored in the mausoleum at Gethsemane Cemetery until weather conditions allowed for his burial on Monday. That's when cemetery workers found the casket and the corpse missing. A van was seen driving away with Bright inside.Police were looking for Bright's 48-year-old son, who told people he was going to do something. He had a deep freezer and, police say, planned to store his father there and pray over him to resurrect him.Neighbors saw police search the son's house Monday afternoon, but the body wasn't there and neither was the son.Then Tuesday morning, officers spotted the van used to steal the casket and corpse at a Citgo gas station on the city's east side. They arrested the son and a 38-year-old man, but there was still no sign of the body."Casket was just in the van open," Day said.Which led investigators back to the home on Eastlawn. This time the corpse was there in the freezer in the basement. The body was fully intact and ready to rest in peace.No charges have been filed yet. Police say it is a crime to steal a corpse, even if it's your father.

It is with deep regret that due to changes introduced last year in how test strips are funded, Diabetes NZ Supplies is no longer able to cover its running costs and therefore ceased operation in late 2012. Diabetes NZ Supplies has been an important part of Diabetes NZ's services for people affected by diabetes for a very long time, so this decision was not taken lightly.
We would like to take a moment to acknowledge the contribution of Diabetes NZ Supplies to the diabetes family, and especially the staff who have worked tirelessly to deliver exceptional services to people affected by diabetes. We would also like to acknowledge the support from Branches, our members and people across the country who for many years have supported Diabetes NZ Supplies with their patronage.

We have a term for a similar situation- when the dogs want out, then want back in two minutes later, then back out, and then in... Sounds like your pup isn't quite doing that, since he didn't ask to be let back in, but it reminds me of it all the same... We say "Dog out wants dog in, dog in wants dog out..."
Our dogs are spoiled in door dogs, but we have one of those screen doors that has magnets, so it opens when you walk through it then closes itself, to keep the bugs out. Since, if I remember, it's not too cold for you guys right now, maybe you should think of getting one of those. I guess it won't help hubby feel better about him being outside, but then at least if he could let himself in and out, it would mean you didn't have to!
Haha, yes, we've done the same with Maiya. She's so young that she's still in the "That baby spider needs to go back outside with his Momma!!!" phase. I don't like bugs, but in order to try to raise her to respect life, I try to catch them and "reunite baby spider with Momma spider- OUTSIDE"!
And, yeah, I haven't gone in to animal cruelty AT ALL (she is only 2...), regarding food or otherwise. But, we have been to farms, and only ones where the animals are treated (relatively) well. I mean, I know it's not the same as being in like, an animal preserve with acres and acres of land, but they are well taken care of. She "knows" that, for example, chicken we eat is the same as the chickens she pets at the farms, but I don't know if she really understands it.
Where the "treat it well even you eat it" comes in to play is actually in regards to our dog... When we take him out on his walks, he often times goes "crittering" and she has seen him chasing all sorts of animals. He never gets them (he's well behaved and comes when we call, but she still sees the animal and sees him chase it), but we still explain why he does it. Then we explain why we don't let him eat it- because he has dog food at home, and you never kill anything unless you NEED to eat it.
But then when she plays at home, she has, for example, the wolf eat the rabbit (because she knows that's what happens), and I make sure that she treats the rabbit well and is nice and says thank you and all... And she never "kills" the rabbit, it's very G rated, heh.

By Matt Buck
KALAMAZOO, MI (1660 THE FAN) - Western Michigan University has announced today it has terminated the contract of WMU head football coach Bill Cubit. In eight seasons with WMU, Cubit carried a 51-47 record but failed to win a bowl game in his tenure.
Along with Cubit, the entire WMU football coaching staff will not return.
WMU Athletic Director Kathy Beauregard said in a statement the mission of Bronco football has not changed despite the changes at the coaching position.
"Although this is a time of transition, the expectations of our department remain the same," Beauregard said. "Our vision and mission is winning division and conference titles and growing our number of postseason bowls. We continue to value student-athlete success academically and expect them to be great citizens in this community."
The team will begin searching for a new head coach immediately, though WMU Athletics Director of Media Relations Mat Kanan said there is no early favorite for the coaching position.
Cubit boasts the fifth-most wins in WMU football history and the second-most Mid-American Conference wins in program history.
