Northern Territory youth criminal turned justice advocate Dylan Voller has avoided extra jail time despite violating his suspended sentence conditions.
The former Don Dale Youth Detention Centre detainee and his mother Joanne were arrested in September when an Alice Springs protest against youth prisons and Aboriginal deaths in custody turned violent.
The 20-year-old appeared in Darwin's Supreme Court on Tuesday, and while Voller's lawyers accepted the breach for obstructing traffic and disorderly conduct, Prosecutor Stephen Geary admitted they were low-level offences.
"The Crown takes no issue with no action being taken," he said.
Counsel for Voller, Peter Blackett, said the young man became understandably upset and concerned when his mother appeared to be "targeted by police" at the Black Lives Matter rally.
"This was a political protest ... a subject which is close to Mr Voller's heart," he said.
Voller was among eight people between the ages of 14 and 47 who were arrested and later released with fines.
While inside the Alice Springs police watch house in September, Voller posted live videos to Facebook saying: "I guess I'll just have to go back and do my time, take it on the chin".
Voller was jailed in 2014 for an ice-fuelled crime spree but granted bail in February to undergo rehab.
His suspended sentence is due to expire in February, and Judge Peter Barr on Tuesday agreed it would be inappropriate to make any orders in relation to the breach.
While behind bars as a teenager, Voller was tear gassed, spit hooded and shackled to a restraint chair in a scandal that sparked the NT juvenile justice royal commission.
Ms Voller, who remains on bail, will this month contest charges for threatening to kill prominent Alice Springs councillor Jacinta Price.

Hi guys,
New member to the boards here. Happy to have an online forum to discuss my sobriety when I'm not in a meeting! Living in New York City, I have a ton of meeting options, but when I travel around it's always a bit more difficult to find them. I hope I've posted in the right subforum here:
I am traveling to Washington DC -- actually the suburbs in Maryland. What good meetings are there in Bethesda or the area? I'll be there the entire week so any day will do -- any on Sundays to start?
Many thanks for your help!

It's a bird…it's a plane…well, he's as fast as those it seems. Three-time Gold Medal-winning swimmer Aaron Peirsol uses his spa on a daily basis.
According to Wickpedia, Aaron won gold in the 100 m backstroke in the 2004 Olympic Games, and then he followed up by winning the 200 m event. An initial disqualification alleged that he had made an illegal turn during the race but it was overturned, giving Peirsol his second individual gold. Peirsol won the world championships in the 100 m backstroke in 2003, 2005 and 2007, and won 200 m backstroke in 2001, 2003 and 2005.
He also holds the world record for the 100 m backstroke and has been undefeated in finals in the 100 m since the 2002 Spring Nationals. He was also undefeated in the 200 m since losing to Lenny Krayzelburg in the 2000 Sydney Olympics until being defeated by countryman Ryan Lochte at the 2007 World Championships.
His younger sister is a pro swimmer in her own right at Auburn University—so apparently the talent runs in the family.

- Hotter than Georgia asphalt
"Hi, I'm Conan O'Brien. Well, there it was. The moment
many of you've been wishing for for years finally arrived --
Conan hosting an awards show! And I must say, I did a pretty
bang-up job. The opening bit with Ozzy was boffo, and I got
to be the firs host in Emmy history to utter the words 'pimps,'
'parasites,' and 'a woman with real breasts' -- well, from the
stage, at least. And, for those of you who were worried about
flipping back and forth between me and The Sopranos, I conveniently
top-loaded all my jokes in the show's first hour, thereafter
sticking around only to pop out now and again like a high-school
vice-principal trying to keep the talent show on schedule. Of
course, that little midget Jon Stewart still managed to sneak
in under my armpit and deliver the night's best line; the one
about 'the hell that is episodic TV' and 'directing your eighth
Tim Curry pilot.' Still, all in all, a good night, and one that
finally proved an old show business theory, previously untested:
Hire a funny person to host an awards show and the show will
be funny. Astounding. Of course, there's one person I must thank
above all others: Aaron Sorkin, one of the greatest writers
working in Hollywood today."
- Hotter than Rhode Island asphalt
"Hi, I'm Jennifer Aniston. Well, I guess I really am the
queen of TV. Screw that -- I'm the queen of Hollywood! Julia
Roberts married some camera guy, and I've got Brad Pitt on my
arm! (For those of you wondering at home, Brad's hair looked
like that because he's dropped out of that mountain man sci-fi
movie to star in a Leif Garrett biopic. I know -- given the
choice, I'd take the beard too.) Of course, I share my Best
Lead Actress in a Comedy award with all my castmates, except
Courtney Cox Arquette, whom I've been carrying for years. Luckily,
she's light. And, of course, there's one person without whom
none of this would be possible: Aaron Sorkin, the greatest writer
in television history."
- Approximately as hot as Rhode Island asphalt
"Hi, I'm Michael Chiklis. With Dennis Franz out of the
way and the Six Feet Under cast splitting the votes, I came
right up the middle for the biggest surprise of the night. But
the biggest shock was not my winning this award, nor the fact
that my controversial show on FX has become a real critical
darling, or even that I, the former star of The Commish, have
actually turned out to be a fine and serious actor. No, the
biggest shock is that somehow I managed to disappear for two
years and re-emerge as the pocket Bruce Willis. Look at me!
Man, if Daddio had been a hit, I'd still be a balding shlub
with a beer belly! Screw The Shield -- I'm writing a diet book!
But this transformation wasn't easy, and I never could have
achieved it without the love and support of Aaron Sorkin, who
devised a new meal regimen for me and then acted as my personal
trainer. Thanks, A-Man!"
- Within the temperature range of Rhode Island asphalt during
the rainy season
"Hi, I'm Ozzy. Jolly good show. Toasting television's best
and brightest -- what a night of unrivaled jollity and mirth!
And to have played a part in this great pageant -- 'twas truly
humbling. What? Wait -- you don't think I actually talk the
way I do in the show in real life, do you? You don't think I'm
actually some infantile stumblebum who couldn't find his way
from the toilet-paper roll to his ass without Sharon gently
coaxing my hand in the right direction, do you? Come now! 'Ozzy'
is the greatest comic invention of the twenty-first century!
He's like my Pee-wee Herman! And the whole conceit is utterly
brilliant! Do you actually think America would fall in love
with an eloquent and whip-smart former rocker? Here's your answer:
'Wazza fucky... Izna... Izna ma faul! Izna ma faul!' Ha ha!
I have to say, when Sorkin proposed the whole 'Befuddled Ozzy'
concept to me, I thought he was crackers. I owe you a frosty
pint, mate! Or should I say, 'Az naw frozzy pah mah!'"
- Rhode Island on a moderate day
"Hi, I'm Allison Janney. Okay, I'll take next year off,
I promise. I know I deserve to keep winning these things, but
if I don't take a breather, other actresses are going to start
making 'Allison Janney' jokes, the way comedians talk about
Kelsey Grammer. Frankly, if you saw the E! red-carpet pre-show,
and the shot of me stopping to chat with the valet, you'll see
that I also deserved a Classy Lady Award -- because I am a Classy
Lady. But I promise I'll tone down the great acting this year.
It will be hard, though, seeing as the words spilling from my
mouth will be those of Aaron Sorkin, who was sent to earth from
Heaven to save our sad and sordid species with his celestial
- Hotter than a Rhode Island soft ice cream cone
"Hi, I'm Joel Gallen, producer of America: A Tribute to
Heroes, winner of an Emmy for Best Variety Show. You know, there
was some talk of not submitting this show for an award at all,
since the whole point was to raise money and raise spirits after
9/11, and it might seem crass to put our show in the same category
as, say, the Oscars, or even to pursue an industry accolade
on the back of that tragedy. Of course, that talk was taking
place on the couches of people watching the Emmys, and not in
my offices, thank Sorkin. Because I was happy to win this year.
You may have heard the announcer mention that this is my second
nomination in a row in this category, though my production from
2000, America: A Cavalcade of Decadent Frivolity, didn't fare
as well. Sorkin be praised!"
- Rhode Island soft ice cream with freezer burn
"Hi, I'm Michael Moriarty. Well, what do you know? Last
any of you heard, I was getting arrested for drunken brawling
in a bar in Halifax -- or was it Vancouver? -- and now here
I am, back at the Emmys, with a statue of my own in my hand!
And my old friend Janet Reno couldn't even win the Democratic
nomination for governor of Florida! Who's laughing now, Reno!
I'll tell you who -- the little man in my head who gives me
instructions! My moment on stage was enough to remind all of
you that, if nothing else, Ben Stone still kicks Waterston's
ass, nine times out of ten. Thank you -- What? I have to thank
who? But I've never even worked with that guy. No -- please,
don't take my Emmy! Fine, fine: uh, and, of course, none of
this would be possible without -- who? -- without Aaron Sorkin,
my personal saviour."
- Rhode Island in winter
"Hi, I'm Philo T. Farnsworth. It's about time I got my
props as the inventor of television. Look, when you grow up
with a name like Philo T. Farnsworth, what choice do you have
except to become a reclusive, mad-genius inventor? What was
I going to be, a fireman? But I would like to say that, just
because I invented television, I am in no way responsible for
Just Shoot Me. Seriously, I laughed harder watching the horizontal
line. In fact, I transmitted that show from one room of my house
to the other just last week, with a message to my wife: 'The
damn thing sucks.'"
- Georgia asphalt in a freak ice storm
"Hi, I'm Bob Hope. How do you like that? Everyone assumed
I'd be dead by now, so they go and name an award after me, then
give it to Oprah Winfrey! Well, I'm not gone yet, you damn vultures!
I'll get my revenge on you yet, though. Did you see that creepy
bust of me that you have to take home if you win that award?
What is that, made of Das modeling clay? I'm sure Oprah really
wants my beady little eyes staring down at her from the mantle.
Oprah...I'm watching you...you can't escape me...stop touching
Steadman there...ha ha ha! Yes, I have the last word, once again,
just as I will every year! In the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Sorkin, amen."

I have been finishing up some last minute Christmas wreaths as homemade presents for my family. I made a Texas themed wreath for my mom using seasonal decorations from Michaels that I got for 70 percent off. I used some decorative succulents, red berry sprays, white pine tree trim, and some star shaped wooden cut outs that I spray painted silver. I added some vintage blue ornaments and a red bow fashioned from a bandana, which I found directions on Pinterest. I used an oval wreath rather than a circular wreath to make it interesting and unusual.
I also wanted to make my younger sister a wreath, since she just moved into a new apartment in Dallas. I wanted to make a fun, giant wreath to welcome her home from work everyday. I tried to include an approximation of the Reunion Tower, the sign from our favorite music venue in Deep Ellum, Trees, and a small version of metal robot sculpture that adorns the start of the Deep Ellum neighborhood. That little guy I made from silver polymer clay.
Hopefully they will love them. The top image is a wreath I put together in five minutes after I realized I had no wreath on the front door. Oops. Maybe I'll put together something more lavish next year.
How about you guys? Do you crazy over wreaths like me or prefer mistletoe or lights more?
Let me know my ninjas!

We propose a methodology for predicting the accuracy of the extractor that may be inferred from the available examples. We propose several prediction techniques and analyse experimentally our proposals in great depth, with reference to extractors consisting of regular expressions.

My husband and I live and farm a remote and isolated group of islands in the Falkland Islands. We use a 36 foot steel fishing boat to move between islands. Our lifestyle is pretty much self sufficient. We have a wind turbine for power our own veg gardens and 5,000 sheep that we farm for fine wool and fat lamb.

I am glad you are getting your equipment moved around. I know you have being trying to get this done for some time. It amuses me that you call the fork lift and "eager beaver". You do not have beavers on the Falklands. In Canada, we refer to a person who is enthusiastic about getting to work on a task that needs doing, a eager beaver. Do you also use this expression.ReplyDelete
Beavers are wonderful industious animals. They are the national animal symbol of Canada. The Americans can have their beautiful predator the bald eagle but we prefer to have the lowly, but hard working, beaver, which creates so much liveable habitat for so many other animals in the forest. Perhaps, this says something about our national characters.
Hi Philip,ReplyDelete
Yes eager beaver means the same here but it is not a phrase that you really hear any more.

FortiGate Session Life Support Protocol (FGSP)
In a network that already includes load balancing (either with load balancers or routers) for traffic redundancy, two identical FortiGates can be integrated into the load balancing configuration using the FortiGate Session Life Support Protocol (FGSP). The external load balancers or routers can distribute sessions among the FortiGates and the FGSP performs session synchronization of IPv4 and IPv6 TCP, SCTP, UDP, ICMP, expectation, and NAT sessions to keep the session tables of both FortiGates synchronized.
If one of the FortiGates fails, session failover occurs and active sessions fail over to the unit that is still operating. This failover occurs without any loss of data. As well, the external load balancers or routers detect the failover and re-distribute all sessions to the unit that is still operating.
Load balancing and session failover is done by external routers or load balancers and not by the FGSP. The FortiGates just perform session synchronization which allows session failover to occur without packet loss.
The FGSP also includes configuration synchronization, allowing you to make configuration changes once for both FortiGates instead of requiring duplicate configuration changes on each unit. Settings that identify the FortiGate to the network, for example, interface IP addresses and BGP neighbor settings, are not synchronized so each FortiGate maintains its identity on the network. These settings must be configured separately for each FortiGate.
|In previous versions of FortiOS the FGSP was called TCP session synchronization or standalone session synchronization. However, the FGSP has been expanded to include configuration synchronization and session synchronization of connectionless sessions, expectation sessions, and NAT sessions.

Every year without fail there are horrific stories about dogs dying in cars during hot weather.
Many people still believe that it's ok to leave a dog in a car if the windows are left open, or they're parked in the shade. The truth is that it's still a potentially lethal situation for the dog.
According to the RSPCA, when it's 22 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can reach an unbearable 47 degrees within the hour.
Road safety and breakdown organisation GEM Motoring Assist has these essential tips for making sure your dog is safe and comfortable in the car this summer…
- Leave your dog at home on warm days.
- On trips with your pet, bring plenty of fresh drinking water, and a bowl. Ensure your dog is able to stay cool on a journey.
- Don't let your dog travel unrestrained loose, Instead, use a proper travel basket or crate to create a safer space. Dog seatbelts and travel harnesses are also available.
- If you suggest the dog might be too hot, then you will need to stop somewhere safe and give him a good drink of water. Animals are unable to sweat in the way that humans can. Dogs cool themselves by panting and sweating through their paws, so if you have left your dog in the car on a hot day, it only takes a few minutes for him to succumb to the symptoms of heatstroke.
- If you suspect your dog is developing heatstroke on a journey, stop somewhere safe and take him into the shade or to somewhere cool. However, if signs of heat exhaustion become apparent (for example excessive thirst, heavy panting, rapid pulse, fever, vomiting, glazed eyes, dizziness), you should go straight to a veterinary surgeon.
- If you see a pet in a vehicle on a hot day, take immediate action. For example, if you're in a supermarket, roadside service area or garden centre car park, note the car make, model, colour and registration number, then go inside and ask for an announcement to be made. If this doesn't bring the owner out, or you're in a location where finding the owner is impossible, then dial 999 and ask for the police.
GEM road safety officer Neil Worth warns that it's both dangerous and illegal to leave an animal in a hot vehicle. "If the dog becomes ill or dies, the owner is likely to face a charge of animal cruelty under the Animal Welfare Act 2006.
"This offence can bring a prison sentence of up to six months in custody and/or a fine of up to £20,000."

Together they could significantly extend our average life span and improve the quality of our lives. Yet, with each of these technologies, a sequence of small, individually sensible advances leads to an accumulation of great power and, concomitantly, great danger. What was different in the 20th century? Certainly, the technologies underlying the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) - nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) - were powerful, and the weapons an enormous threat. But building nuclear weapons required, at least for a time, access to both rare - indeed, effectively unavailable - raw materials and highly protected information; biological and chemical weapons programs also tended to require large-scale activities. The 21st-century technologies - genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics (GNR) - are so powerful that they can spawn whole new classes of accidents and abuses. Most dangerously, for the first time, these accidents and abuses are widely within the reach of individuals or small groups.
Robots, could Replace teachers
Star Trek, a hive of partly biological, partly robotic creatures with a strong destructive streak. Borg-like disasters are a staple of science fiction, so why hadn't I been more concerned about such robotic dystopias earlier? Why weren't other people more concerned about these nightmarish scenarios? Part of the answer certainly lies in our attitude toward the new - in our bias toward instant familiarity and unquestioning acceptance. Accustomed to living with almost routine scientific breakthroughs, we have yet to come to terms with the fact that the most compelling 21st-century technologies - robotics, genetic engineering, and nanotechnology - pose a different threat than the technologies that have come before. Specifically, robots, engineered organisms, and nanobots share a dangerous amplifying factor: They can self-replicate. A bomb is blown up only once - but one bot can become many, and quickly get out of control. Much of my work over the past 25 years has been on computer networking, where the sending and receiving of messages creates the opportunity for out-of-control replication. But while replication in a computer or a computer network can be a nuisance, at worst it disables a machine or takes down a network or network service. Uncontrolled self-replication in these newer technologies runs a much greater risk: a risk of substantial damage in the physical world. Each of these technologies also offers untold promise: The vision of near immortality that Kurzweil sees in his robot dreams drives us forward; genetic engineering may soon provide treatments, if not outright cures, for most diseases; and nanotechnology and nanomedicine can address yet more ills.
I went through my now-familiar routine, trotting out the ideas and passages that I found so disturbing. Danny's answer - directed specifically at Kurzweil's scenario of humans merging with robots - came swiftly, and quite surprised. He said, simply, that the changes would come gradually, and that we would get used to them. But I guess I wasn't totally surprised. I had seen a" from Danny in Kurzweil's book in which he said, "I'm as fond of my body as anyone, but if I can be 200 with a body of silicon, i'll take." It seemed that he was at peace with this. While talking and thinking about Kurzweil, kaczynski, and Moravec, i suddenly remembered a novel I had read almost 20 years ago. The White Plague, by Frank herbert - in which a molecular biologist is driven insane by the senseless murder of his family. To seek revenge he constructs and disseminates a new and highly contagious plague that kills widely but selectively. (We're the lucky kaczynski was a mathematician, not a molecular biologist.) I was also reminded of the borg.
Government coerces nonmarket behavior, especially by collecting taxes. Judiciously applied, governmental coercion could support human populations in high style on the fruits of robot labor, perhaps for a long while. A textbook dystopia - and Moravec is just getting wound. He goes on to discuss how our main job in the 21st century will be "ensuring continued cooperation from the robot industries" by passing laws decreeing that they be "nice 3 and to describe how seriously dangerous a human can be "once transformed into. I decided it was time to talk to my friend Danny hillis. Danny became famous as the cofounder of Thinking Machines Corporation, which built a very powerful parallel supercomputer. Despite my current job title of Chief Scientist at Sun Microsystems, i am more a computer architect than a scientist, and I respect Danny's knowledge of the information and physical sciences more than that of any other single person i know. Danny is also a highly regarded futurist who thinks long-term - four years ago he started the long Now foundation, which is building a clock designed to last 10,000 years, in an attempt to draw attention to the pitifully short attention span of our society. Test of Time, so i flew to los Angeles for the express purpose of having dinner with Danny and his wife, pati.
Movie review » Custom
The Age of Spiritual Machines; I would hand them Kurzweil's book, let them read the", and then watch their reaction as they discovered who had written. At around the bibliography same time, i found Hans Moravec's book. Robot: Mere machine to Transcendent Mind. Moravec is one of the leaders in robotics research, and was a founder of the world's largest robotics research program, at Carnegie mellon University. Robot gave me more material to try out on my friends - material surprisingly supportive of Kaczynski's argument. For example: The Short Run (Early 2000s biological species almost never survive encounters with superior competitors. Ten million years ago, south and North America were separated by a sunken Panama isthmus.
South America, like australia today, was populated by marsupial mammals, including pouched equivalents of rats, deers, and tigers. When the isthmus connecting North and south America rose, it took only a few thousand years for the northern placental species, with slightly more effective metabolisms and reproductive and nervous systems, to displace and eliminate almost all the southern marsupials. In a completely free marketplace, superior robots would surely affect humans as North American placentals affected south American marsupials (and as humans have affected countless species). Robotic industries would compete vigorously among themselves for matter, energy, and space, incidentally driving their price beyond human reach. Unable to afford the necessities of life, biological humans would be squeezed out of existence. There is probably some breathing room, because we do not live in a completely free marketplace.
They will have been reduced to the status of domestic animals. 1, in the book, you don't discover until you turn the page that the author of this passage is Theodore kaczynski - the Unabomber. I am no apologist for Kaczynski. His bombs killed three people during a 17-year terror campaign and wounded many others. One of his bombs gravely injured my friend david Gelernter, one of the most brilliant and visionary computer scientists of our time.
Like many of my colleagues, i felt that I could easily have been the Unabomber's next target. Kaczynski's actions were murderous and, in my view, criminally insane. He is clearly a luddite, but simply saying this does not dismiss his argument; as difficult as it is for me to acknowledge, i saw some merit in the reasoning in this single passage. I felt compelled to confront. Kaczynski's dystopian vision describes unintended consequences, a well-known problem with the design and use of technology, and one that is clearly related to murphy's law - "Anything that can go wrong, will." (Actually, this is Finagle's law, which in itself shows that Finagle was right.). Similar things happened when attempts to eliminate malarial mosquitoes using ddt caused them to acquire ddt resistance; malarial parasites likewise acquired multi-drug-resistant genes. 2, the cause of many such surprises seems clear: The systems involved are complex, involving interaction among and feedback between many parts. Any changes to such a system will cascade in ways that are difficult to predict; this is especially true when human actions are involved. I started showing friends the kaczynski" from.
So, where Are my robot Servants?
In that case the average man paper may have control over certain private machines of his own, such as his car or his personal computer, but control over large systems of machines will be in the hands of a tiny elite - just as. Due to improved techniques the elite will have greater control over the masses; and because human work will no longer be necessary the masses will be superfluous, a useless burden on the system. If the elite is ruthless they may simply decide to exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or other psychological or biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomes extinct, leaving the world to the elite. Or, if the elite consists of soft-hearted liberals, they may decide to play the role of good shepherds to the rest of the human race. They will see to it that everyone's physical needs are satisfied, that all children are raised under psychologically hygienic conditions, that everyone has a wholesome hobby to keep him busy, and that anyone who may become dissatisfied undergoes "treatment" to cure his "problem." Of course. These engineered human beings may be happy in such a society, but they will most certainly not be free.
We only point out that the fate of the human race would be at the mercy of the machines. It might be argued that the human race would never be foolish enough to hand over all the power to the machines. But we are suggesting neither that the human race would voluntarily turn power over to the machines nor that the machines would willfully seize power. What we do suggest is that the human race might easily permit itself to drift into a position of such dependence on the machines that it would have no practical choice but to accept all of the machines' decisions. As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable holder of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won't be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide. On the other hand it is possible that human control over the machines may be retained.
becoming one with robotic technology. On reading it, my sense of unease only intensified; I felt sure he had to be understating the dangers, understating the probability of a bad outcome along this path. I found myself most troubled by a passage detailing a dys topian scenario: the new luddite challenge, first let us postulate that the computer scientists succeed in developing intelligent machines that can do all things better than human beings can do them. In that case presumably all work will be done by vast, highly organized systems of machines and no human effort will be necessary. Either of two cases might occur. The machines might be permitted to make all of their own decisions without human oversight, or else human control over the machines might be retained. If the machines are permitted to make all their own decisions, we can't make any conjectures as to the results, because it is impossible to guess how such machines might behave.
While we were talking, ray approached and a conversation began, the subject of which haunts me to this day. I had missed ray's talk and the subsequent panel that ray and John had been on, and they now picked right up where they'd left off, with ray saying that the rate of improvement of technology was going to accelerate and that we were going. While i had heard such talk before, i had always felt sentient robots were in the realm of science fiction. But now, from someone i respected, i was hearing a strong argument that they were a near-term possibility. I was taken aback, especially given ray's proven ability to imagine and create the future. I already knew that new technologies like genetic engineering and nanotechnology were giving us the power to remake the world, but a realistic and imminent scenario for intelligent robots surprised. It's easy to get jaded about such breakthroughs. We hear in the news almost every day of some kind of technological or scientific advance.

My adult M neutered cat woke me up howling in pain. I called the vet I always go to .6 mile from my house VCA,1117 N.
Decatur Blvd.
Las Vegas, NV 89108. They took the cat directly in but left me sitting for 20 minutes. When I was called in I could still hear him howling.
Vet finally showed up and said he had urinary tract blockage. She refused to give me some Clavamox which I had been treating him with successfully for a few months. She did present me with a quote for $800-1100. Of course I couldn't afford this, she told me he would die a very painful death.
I asked about euthanasia... quote given $344. for 15Lb cat! He was not administered anything for pain until I demanded it!
I had to put my cat down that day at the local animal shelter $25. plus $80. for cremation with return of ashes.
These people have no empathy or compassion at all. I am researching this company's origins & funding so look for a Facebook page alerting the public to their awful practices & philosophy.
Reason of review: Killed my cat.
I didn't like: Lack of compassion.
Just reiterating what others have said - a blockage is an emergency requiring emergency surgery, bloodwork, and hospitalization on IV flids to correct electrolyte imbalances. I can only imagine how painful the loss of your cat was, but VCA did not kill your cat.
Clavamox will help with a urinary tract infection, it will not help with a physical blockage. Most blockages are due to crystals, which antibiotics are uselect against.
I'm very sorry for your loss. I recommend pet insurance for every pet, but especially male cats, as they are prone to this.
Uhm a urinary BLOCKAGE requires emergency surgery. Antibiotics cannot cure a blockage.
& obviously you had not been treating him "successfully" or he wouldn't have had a blockage. If he was prescribed clavamox for a UTI/bladder infection, it doesn't take months of antibiotics to cure that. Max two weeks.
Yes, if they do not have surgery for a blockage they WILL die a very painful death. A blockage means they cannot urinate.
Therefore it all collects in the bladder until the bladder ruptures.
Yes, the shelter is cheap. But, shelters also have city funding. Veterinary offices don't, hence why they are more expensive. Also, there is a huge difference in how the shelter euthanizes VS how a vet office euthanizes.
A vet office will place an IV catheter, give the pet sedation so they don't feel anything and then give them the euthanasia solution. A shelter may or may not place an IV catheter and they don't give a sedative beforehand. At least the shelters around me dont.
As for not giving a pain medication right away. They cannot give anything to a pet until the owner is aware of the cost and signs a treatment plan.
If they just gave the pet the medication, an owner can say they werent told the cost and then wouldn't pay for it. Or, because everyone is sue happy these days, they could be sued for giving a pet medication without owner consent.
They also probably didn't give it until they presented a treatment plan for the surgery because if you approved the surgery, they may use different medications or a pain medication can cause a reaction with a pre medication they use.
I'm very sorry for the loss of your cat. But you cannot blame this hospital for anything. Vets are a business and if they treated every pet for free who's owner couldn't afford treatment they wouldn't be able to stay in business.
People need to realize that pets cost money.
If you have a pet or want to get a pet you need to be able to afford basic care and have wiggle room in case of an emergency. Pets are a luxury not a right.
Clavamox would not have relieved a blockage, unfortunately. Your very beautiful cat was in a sad state.
I only wish the shelter had offered medical services to relieve his blockage and saved his life. I hope you heal from this awful event.
Very sorry, that was a beatiful cat...

We had our female chihuahua fixed and utilized Pet Fixers. The process was extremely easy, and my pet was so very well taken care of. She was 3 before we fixed her as we were very scared of the process and it was expensive. This service allowed for an easier financial burden, and the volunteers who helped are AMAZING. I contacted Pet Fixers a few months ago as I had to get a license for my dog, and they emailed me her record of fix.
So thankful for this program.
We had Bonnie & Clyde fixed during a clinic...could not have afforded having it done at the Vet...they were also micro chipped...Everyone was very friendly and attentive to our pets, and they made the experience great...I know eveyone involved appreicates this service, it is something our community really needed.
I had two barn cats neutered last year. It was affordable and close to home. It would have been too expensive to get them both done at the vet and I'm happy knowing they aren't contributing to the feral cat population
Pet Fixers Spay Neuter Assistance Program
We had our stray cat fixed last fall and our dog fixed last weekend. It was quick, easy and affordable for us( probably wouldn't have had it done at all, too expensive at a vet clinic), also it's nice it's on Saturday & Sunday. Everyone was so friendly & took great care of our animals...
We have had several pets neutered over the years. I'll be bringing Moriarty at the end of August this year. Some of them were neighborhood cats that wouldn't have had a chance to be neutered otherwise and some were our personal house pets. It helps to know that even if I can't personally save every one in my home, they aren't adding to a booming supply of homeless kittens either. The veterinary costs for neuter are outrageous and getting higher all the time. I'm so grateful you're here to support this need.
The organization helped my pet and I enormously! I wouldn't have been able to afford neutering at a vetinary clinic prices are just to high. So thank you so much for making things affordable and absolutely wonderful treatment of the animals and owners 😊
Love them I couldn't t afford to get my baby fixed if it was not for them they did an amazing job! Recommend them one hundred times over!

In all fairness, this wasn't the best episode of Robot Chicken. The ideas were funny, but the execution just wasn't at a level we've come to expect from this show. Whereas last week's episode was filled with smart, subtle sketches, most of this week's offerings seemed to come up a little flat.
Let's start with what should've been a home run: the mash-up of Kermit the Frog on Sesame Street meeting his cousin, Gordon the Gecko from Wall St. On paper, it's perfect. Kermit tries to teach a group of impressionable kids about sharing and friendship, when along comes a sharp-dressed lizard telling stories about how he made $800 grand flipping buildings on Sesame Street. The frog doesn't stand a chance. The kids are corrupted by Gordon's greed and leave Kermit in the dust. It's such a good idea, I was hoping there would be more to it. How else does Gordon corrupt the kids? Do they turn on their families? Do they cheat old people out of their retirements? Does one of them take a header off a ledge when the market goes bad? Robot Chicken has a made an art out of putting innocent children in horrible situations. This sketch only touched the tip of the iceberg and I was hoping for more.
The same thing happened with another other long sketch featuring Jean Claude Van Damme (voiced by himself) and Cynthia Rothrock in a Gone with the Wind meets Mr. and Mrs. Smith action film called "Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give a Van Damme." Again, the premise was good but the execution left something to be desired. They've done a few of these types of parodies before and this one simply wasn't up to par. It reminded me a lot of "1776," the brilliant 300 parody from season three that matched the famous trailer shot-for-shot with historical events from the American Revolution. That was Robot Chicken at its smart, bloody best, whereas this sketch relied too much upon a flimsy pun as the main gag and not much else. Again, I was just hoping for a few more jokes or a twist but didn't get them.
The final sketch of the show was more successful and another one right in Robot Chicken's wheelhouse: making fun of rich, dumb celebrities. They've gone to town on the likes of Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie and Lindsay Lohan in the past, and this time out, they took popular comic strip character Little Orphan Annie and gave her the My Super Sweet 16 treatment. It's not a stretch to say a rich teenage girl would go power mad while planning her birthday party and forget her humble beginnings, but Robot Chicken took it even further. Annie didn't just have her former orphan friends deliver the invitations, they WERE the invitations. And when Annie became enamored of all things colored red, Daddy Warbucks bought her the biggest, reddest thing he could: the planet Mars. On the planet, the spoiled teen was finally happy until her helmet popped off and her head exploded from lack of oxygen. Of course it did.
I couldn't help but be disappointed throughout most of this episode, simply because the ideas were there, but the jokes weren't. In addition some of the sketches were similar to those done in previous seasons to much better effect. This certainly wasn't a bad episode, but it wasn't their strongest effort either.

How An Addiction To Alcohol Will Cut Your Life Short
For anyone that has an addiction to alcohol you must know how an addiction to alcohol will cut your life short. You may not know when or how your life could be snuffed out and cut short, but sooner or later, if you continue to drink alcohol and abuse it to the point that you need it every single day, something is bound to happen in your life that will be caused by your addiction to alcohol.
So many alcoholics worry about their health, as I did for some time, but do you think that was enough to make the alcoholic, or myself stop drinking alcohol and start to live a life of sobriety?
The answer would be no, worrying about our health wasn't enough to make us quit drinking alcohol. Sometimes it may take something so bad to happen in the alcoholics life in order for them to really see the light and stop drinking forever.
It Will Cross Your Mind One Day
Having your life cut short because of an addiction to alcohol will come into the alcoholics mind now and then as it did for me. We really deep down inside know that we are doing harm to our bodies each time we go on that drinking binge. I know we are all in denial and just don't want to believe that we have an addiction to alcohol even though many people have told us and deep down we really know that we do have that addiction that will catch up with us sooner or later. Sad but true.
None of us are indestructible, although we may think so as we pound down our alcohol each and everyday of our lives.
The big thing here is that we know we are killing ourselves slow but sure, but still we are weak to our addiction and just don't have the willpower to ever say no, I have had enough and simply stop drinking alcohol.
It is a huge step for the alcoholic to walk away from an addiction to alcohol that they have had for some many years. I know this because I was one of those alcoholic that first lived in denial and second, scared to death to stop drinking thinking will I get sick, have the DTs and everything that goes along with stopping drinking and doing it cold turkey as I did. Believe me, many things crossed my mind when I finally said I have had enough and just stop drinking.
You have to be in the right frame of mind when you are about to take on sobriety and fight back at the demons that have run your life for so long. If you have it in your heart and soul that you want to be clean and sober again and live the life of sobriety, then you are on the way to living a better life and one of sobriety.
One Way to Cut Your Life Short
Stop Your Addiction to Alcohol
My Ebook on Amazon and "my Life of Alcohol Addiction"
- My Life Of Alcohol Addiction: Peter Mark Bruno: Amazon.com: Kindle Store
My Life Of Alcohol Addiction: Peter Mark Bruno: Amazon.com: Kindle Store
You Must Not Cheat or Give up on Your Staying Sober
It is all the way or no way my friends. What I mean is that you can not try to become sober with the intent that you can possibly drink alcohol now and then. You must NOT do this half ass. It's all or nothing!
You can not have in your mind whatsoever, that if you can go through a month or so without drinking alcohol you are cured and it would be safe to have a drink or so. NOT the case, because if you have an addiction to alcohol you can not cheat by doing what I just mentioned. You are then going to fire up those inner demons, and believe me, once those demons get a taste of that poison again they WILL NOT let you go so easily this time.
So, it is a matter of you want sobriety in your life again and surrender to your addiction to alcohol or just continue on the road to self destruction by drinking and abusing alcohol. It is a matter if you want to live a long, healthy and happy life or just have your addiction to alcohol cut your own life short.
Stop Drinking Alcohol and Stick Around to Enjoy Things like This
© 2012 Mark Bruno
No one can really understand an alcoholic until they either have been one, or have lived with and loved one. I have much more compassion and understanding for alcoholics now than I used to, due to my husband having become one. We have not found the answer to his problems yet, and sometimes it feels like we never will, but I always keep hanging on to that shred of hope, that one day, something will change and he will win this battle! I also worry about his health, but I know that nagging him about it is not the answer!
These photos are very real. I used to work in the ER and the sadness that comes from drunkenness + cars is unbelievable. Anything that can get the attention of someone who drinks to excess is acceptable to me. The drinker always believes that "it won't happen to me" but sometimes it does happen. We can't take back bad decisions. We can only learn from them. Voted up.
Those photos are ones that will make you think! Great share once again. Keep them coming, they will help so many to understand what they are facing if they do not change their ways.
The pictures say it all. As always I enjoy reading your hubs. I know way too many alcoholics and glad not to be one. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas. Vote UP.

I struggle with the decision to post my relationship status on Facebook quite often. I am not an active user of Facebook and I currently do not have this section filled-in, nor do I have my hometown, current town, work, education or contact info filled-in. But, I find myself battling with this particular update on my page. I have, too often, gone into that infamous "Relationship Status" pull-down and chosen "In a relationship". I continue to sit and think about it and tell myself "Just click save, it's the truth and you should want everyone to know" but then the battle begins and I argue with myself by saying "You never updated it before, why now? It is nobody's business whether you are in a relationship. If you post it now, it will create too many unnecessary questions. Don't do it". So, I cancel and leave it blank.
When did it become so important to announce anything and everything on a website. I feel so much pressure to update this status, to announce my engagement, to post my so-called joy to everybody. Sure, I'll post pics (mostly to have an external memory in case something happens to my laptop), sometimes I check-in at certain events (like taking my sweet baby Reo to the South Florida Pet Expo then to the dog park), harmless I would say. But, I ask myself while writing this post, "Am I a hypocrite? I have basically announced my engagement in every post in my blog". Then, I remember I have only told 4 people about this blog and they do not follow me, know where to find me, and 3/4 of them barely know what a blog is.
Sometimes I feel I will update my status once I am married and that should be enough. But, again, I start to feel the pressure…over one website page asking my relationship status! Why is it relevant to post this if I never had before? Then, again, I tell myself "Oh my God, I need to calm down, it's just Facebook."
So, for now, I choose to leave my relationship status blank…while continuing to actually be in one. Maybe one day my Facebook family will know my relationship status (if they don't know already). Meanwhile, I will limit my announcement to you guys, fellow bloggers, readers, strangers and the unknowns. I am happy to share this with you because you are the only one's I trust with this information. "I AM ENGAGED" thank you for celebrating with me.

Since I have opened my shop, Mid-Century Maniac, almost two years ago now,
lately I have been contacted by a couple of people every week
to inquire if I was interested in buying items they don't want or need any longer.
Most are older couples and are downsizing from their house to an apartment or condo.
They just can't take everything with them.
So I usually go and see what they have
an invariably I leave with a few things..........
anything from old beer steins to glassware to small vintage furniture.
I will have to learn to say no very soon as I am running out of storage space at the shop
or I have to become more selective in what I bring back.
I am learning 'the business' slowly but surely.
And, I might add, enjoying every second of it.
Below you will see a silver plate tea/coffee set that I am trying to find a buyer for.
It belongs to the 'tea room ladies' downstairs from the shop.
I don't want it as they are very difficult to move....as in sell.
(Mind you if it was sterling it would be another matter!)
So many are on the market and I feel people just don't want
to have to clean it all the time.
Plus, who really uses these on a regular basis anymore?
So, I am lucky to be doing something in my retirement for which I have an interest
and a passion. I don't see it as 'work' at all.
Question time......what would you like to be doing now or later in life
if you had the opportunity to do so?

They appear to have knocked out a heavy agricultural tractor; whether the NCO at left is congratulating them or cursing is open to debate. The "G" mark on the inner side of the gun shield is for "Guderian" - commander of Panzergruppe 2 (aka Panzergruppe Guderian) during "Barbarossa". Best regards, JR.

Given the early date and the shape of the tractor it might be a Medium Artillery Prime Mover 'Komintern' or similar model.
I know how THAT feels JR.Hope you got through it :)
Thanks for the posts, stay strong warrior! ;)
(Sigh) The PAK 36 was, of course, a 37mm gun. I am tired. Signing off for the night. I now have to accompany HERSELF to a performance of a Very Boring Play. I need to stay awake. Wish me luck ... Yours heading for the doghouse, JR.
Sorry - NCO "at right". JR.

This was announced by President Petro Poroshenko during annual Christmas and New Year meeting with foreign ambassadors accredited in Ukraine, Censor.NET reports citing the press service of the head of state.
"I would like to be very clear here: we shall not abandon our citizens in Crimea, which has been turned into a militarized peninsular of no freedom and a concentration camp for Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars. We shall not leave our people behind a new iron curtain of the Russian occupation. As from today, we open a new international legal frontline against Russia as a state that supports terrorism and discriminates Crimean Tatars and Ukrainian population in the occupied Crimea," the president said.
Poroshenko stressed that the price for Russia for its brutal violation of norms and principles of the international law shall keep increasing.
"Upon my instructions, earlier today the Foreign Ministry has officially filed a claim at the International Court of Justice in The Hague in order to defend the rights and legal interests of the people of Ukraine and to reimburse the damage, cast by Moscow's unlawful acts," Poroshenko said.
Jan. 16, Ukraine filed a case in the International Court of Justice to hold the Russian Federation accountable for acts of terrorism and discrimination in the course of its unlawful aggression against Ukraine. The case has been filed under the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.
EU envoys greenlight sanctions against six persons involved in illegal Crimean bridge construction, Poroshenko says
NSDC expands Russia sanctions list: 1,759 individuals, 786 legal entities now targeted by Ukraine's restrictive measures
"Another Kremlin's attempt to legitimize aggression, annexation completely doomed to fail," - Ukraine's Poroshenko on Russian vote in Crimea

We have had another fantastic half term in Parrots and Penguins with all of the children continuing to make great progress.
We would particularly like to thank all of the parents who have taken part in our Reading Club on a Friday morning. The children have really enjoyed the opportunity to share books and stories with different grown ups.
What we are interested in…
The children have continued their interest in building and we have introduced 'I have made' sheets to increase the level of challenge when building. These sheets encourage children to write labels and descriptive sentences about their creations. The children were then encouraged to take pictures of their creations so that they could be used as challenges for their friends. They used their bear words and segmenting for spelling skills to help them to write their labels.
The children have also been finding out all about Dinosaurs, we used non fiction books to do our investigations looking at the pictures and talking about what we could see, where possible we used our blending skills to read the sentences. Here are some of the facts that we have found out:
- Some dinosaurs were herbivores which means they ate leaves and plants. These dinosaurs included Brachiosauruses and Triceratops.
- Some dinosaurs were carnivores which meant that they ate other dinosaurs. These dinosaurs included the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
- Most dinosaurs lived on the land but some like the Pterodactyl could fly.
- Dinosaurs lived in nests made of sticks and laid eggs like birds.
- Like birds some dinosaurs had feathers and beaks.
One week we had our very own dinosaur nest complete with eggs, the children spent a long time trying to melt the frozen eggs so that they could see which dinosaur was inside. This involved a lot of team work and problem solving.
One day a thief stole our dinosaur eggs and we made posters to help us to find them. Here are some examples of the fantastic work the children did.
What we are learning.
This half term we have been consolidating a lot of our learning by doing independent challenges within provision. In Foundation Stage we think that it is really important that children have the opportunity to repeat activities, problem solve and work together to perform tasks independently of adults. This independent learning is really valuable and supports the development of persistence, resilience, friendships and self esteem.
Most children have now received a challenge passport, this little book contains challenges linked to our direct teach activities and children's interests. Children are asked to complete a challenge within provision each morning and afternoon. All challenges are colour coded to match the children's challenge passports and children press a button to give them their instructions. The system of colour coding enables all children to be successful at a challenge which is appropriate for them, once a challenge is completed children are encouraged to try the next level of difficulty.
Children also set themselves individual challenges which shows that they are aware of their next steps in learning, 1 challenge was for a child to put on their own coat and shoes another was to correctly form the a when writing. The challenges are as varied as the children, it is a really fantastic opportunity to support the children to become involved in directing their own learning.
Here are some examples of children completing challenges from their challenge passports.
Ellie was investigating ways to make 10, Mia was measuring and Priyanka was matching pictures to their initial phonemes.
How you can help us at home.
The most important thing you can do to help us at this stage is to share books with your child and listen to them read if they have a reading book. At the end of last term we sent home some questions to ask your child as you read with them, this will help to develop their understanding of what is happening in their book and to infer meaning from the words they have read.
Reading is a really important skill to develop and a life long love of reading will help our children to develop imagination, find out information and prepare for them for the rest of their lives.
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you'll go."— Dr. Seuss, "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!"
Thank you again to the parents who have been coming to our Reading Club, the club runs every Friday morning from 9am, all family members welcome and after half term we will be providing tea and cake for the parents/ carers that come and read with us.
We would also like to thank the parents who have come to our celebration assembly on a Friday morning. Every Friday each class celebrates the achievements of their children in a Key Stage assembly, children receive certificates for P.E, writing and each week one pupil is chosen because of a skill they have demonstrated. If your child has been chosen to receive a certificate you will be invited to come to the assembly to see them accept it and have their photograph taken. We are very proud of our children and are so pleased that you can now join us to celebrate their achievements at school.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs Connors, Miss Kemp and all of the Parrots and Penguins.

At The River
I've had such a fun time guest blogging this week on Design Sponge and I'm so sad to see the week end. I really cannot thank Grace enough for this wonderful opportunity, and truly appreciate all the wonderful comments everyone left during the week. I am always amazed at the talent I get to feature on a daily basis, so when Joy Thigpen and Jose Villa recently collaborated I couldn't resist ending my week here on Design Sponge with some images from their time together. Joy was also kind enough to send over a few details behind the shoot…
A few weeks ago I was so giddy to receive a call from none other than Jose Villa who was headed to my side of the continent and wanted to put together a little engagement-style shoot with me. Just for fun! We wanted to keep it laidback and I wanted to create an environment for it (of course) but I wanted it to be the kind of thing that someone could easily do for real and without breaking the bank. With the kind of love that surrounds an engagement, simple beauty and a little free-spirited fun are sometimes all you need. And achingly beautiful photography doesn't hurt either. :)

SARASOTA, FLA — SARASOTA, Fla. -- What else could go wrong? The second half of the 1993 season turned against Brad Pennington with a fury. The top relief prospect in the Orioles organization was riddled with self-doubt and rattled by the realization that his biggest step forward had become a step back.
What else could go wrong? How about a winter trip to Puerto Rico and another crisis of confidence? Pennington was released abruptly by the Mayaguez club of the Puerto Rican Winter League after a handful of rocky relief appearances, leaving room to wonder if his professional career was beginning to unravel.
"It just seemed like everything I was doing went wrong," Pennington said. "Nothing felt right. I went in and told them, 'I gotta get out of here. I'm losing what's left of my confidence.' "

As President Donald Trump has been pushing for federal policies that would penalize sanctuary cities for harboring illegal immigrants, the Texas state government has been formulating an anti-sanctuary city policy of its own.
In fact, the Texas legislature has moved to the final step of passing a bill that would penalize jurisdictions, including college campus police departments, that protect illegal immigrants, according to Breitbart.
Senate Bill 4 would prohibit state criminal justice agencies, campus police departments and local jurisdictions from discouraging or prohibiting a person who is a commissioned peace officer, corrections officer, booking clerk, magistrate, district attorney, criminal district attorney or other prosecuting attorney from following immigration laws.
Advertisement - story continues below
If enacted, the law would subject these local and state entities to civil penalties of up to $25,500 for any covered violation. Any civil penalties collected under the law would be used to compensate crime victims.
The specified governmental bodies would also be prevented from receiving state grant money and could lose their sovereign immunity in lawsuits brought against them because of injuries caused by the release of criminal aliens who commit a felony within 10 years after their release.

Furthermore, the law would make it a Class A misdemeanor for any elected official — such as a sheriff, police chief or other law enforcement officer — and those appointed by them to refuse to cooperate with federal immigration officials.
The measure to combat sanctuary cities in the state came on the heels of a March 20 ICE report that showed Travis County, Texas, to be the No. 1 jurisdiction in the country for not complying with federal immigration detainers.
Advertisement - story continues below
In fact, over 70 percent of the 206 criminal aliens released during the week of Jan. 28 through Feb. 3 were released by the Travis County Sheriff's Office.
Republican Rep. Charlie Geren, the sponsor of the measure in the Texas House, said the bill was put forth to "protect Texans from criminals who are here illegally."
"We are trying to make sure those bad actors are detained until we can determine their status," Geren explained. "This bill will not affect law-abiding citizens, only those that are in trouble with the police."
The Texas House passed the bill on a 94 to 53 party line vote Thursday afternoon — a vote praised by the Texas House Republican Caucus.
"This legislation comes after governmental entities in Texas have adopted 'sanctuary city' policies that purposefully hinder or prohibit local law enforcement cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs and prohibit officers from inquiring about a person's immigration status," the GOP lawmakers said.
Advertisement - story continues below
While opponents of the bill have argued that the measure would discourage victims or witnesses of crimes from coming forward because of their immigration status, the legislation expressly provides that a law enforcement official may not question such individuals about their immigration status.
Officials engaged in community outreach activities specifically involving victims of family or domestic violence also may not inquire into immigration status.
Angie Junck, a supervising attorney at the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in San Francisco, said the Texas bill would be the first in the country to explicitly compel local jurisdictions to honor ICE detainer requests and impose criminal charges on those who don't, according to USA Today.
Since it passed the House with amendments, a conference committee of both Senate and House representatives would work toward a mutually agreeable bill before sending it to Gov. Greg Abbott for his signature, according to the Washington Examiner.
Advertisement - story continues below
Abbott, who pushed for the law's passage in the state legislature, has vowed to sign it into law. If enacted, the law would go into effect on Sept. 1, 2017.
Like and share this article on Facebook and Twitter if you support the Texas government's attempt to protect its citizens — and potentially the rest of the country — from illegal immigrants.

A Phony Economy – Will the iPhone help the economy?
I'm not talking about the improved speed and screen size. That's part of a general trend in cell phones that has been going on for years. Mobile computing is part of a technological cycle that allows us to work—and consume—more efficiently.
No, I'm talking about the boost to GDP that will come from iPhone sales. Based on past iPhone introductions, Apple should sell about 8 million or so in the fourth quarter. With a $600 price and a $200 cost, that implies $3.2 billion in gross margin—or $13 billion at an annual rate. This would boost the economy in the fourth quarter by 0.33%. If you add a certain amount of accessories (due to the new shape and different power cord), that could lift GDP by up to 0.5%.
We saw this last year. When the iPhone 4s came out, there was a big bump in retail sales—more than expected. And Apple's earnings, which lagged in the third quarter (as people anticipated the upgrade), charged forward in the fourth. So is our economy becoming dependent on the Cupertino colossus?
Not really, economies adapt to the environment around them. This used to happen in the '60s and '70s when hot new car models came out. More recently there was a bump in GDP when Microsoft introduced Windows 95. People anticipate these updated products and formulate spending plans around them.
That's another reason I don't think a recession is likely. Half a percent may not seem like much, but every little bit helps. With job growth tepid and gas prices rising, the economy can use all the help it can get. Increased sales from the new iPhone may be just the ticket.

Just like its main sharebike system, users will be able to use the app to locate a Mobike E-Bike (which currently cost about 3RMB for a 30-minute ride). Most rides on their bikes are currently less than three kilometres, according to the company, but this new fleet will offer an option for longer trips that's both more sustainable and quicker than taking a car. Before you rush outside in search of these coveted bikes, you should know they've not yet hit Shanghai's streets. At the moment, a fleet of about 1,000 e-bikes are in operation in Sichuan and Guizhou provinces with plans to expand the service for here and Beijing, as well as international markets, in the near future.The pedelec bikes top out at about 20 kilometres per hour, and according to the Mobike team, the bike's battery can stay charged for about 70 kilometres. Saying that, don't get any dreams of cruising off into the sunset just yet. Users can ride the bikes in somewhat limited ranges – generally within a city's main ring road, but we're told this will vary slightly from place to place – to make it easier for the Mobike team to manually switch out low batteries for fully charged ones.In other good Mobike news: After trialling a deposit-free ride system in second- and third-tier cities this spring, the Meituan-owned company also announced this week that all users in China can now use the app without first paying a 299RMB deposit fee.If you've already paid a deposit, visit the My Wallet page in the app to reclaim your refund and Mobike will deliver the fee to the original payment account within a week.
