So, yes, apparently New York barbecue is now a recognized regional variant, the way the American Hairless Terrier is now accepted as a canonical dog breed by the American Kennel Club.
Asbo, an American hairless terrier, was left without a home after his previous owner fell ill.
Asbo Olner Ms Price said the American hairless terrier is an intelligent and energetic breed.
At last I've found a dog that doesn't make me sneeze..

I am currently working with the attenComp.m function and noticed on line 510 that the lower triangle coefficients are set to zeros twice.
Yes, this is a bug - thanks very much for reporting. I'll include the fix with next release. Fortunately, at least for the few examples I've tried, it doesn't have a huge impact as the values in the non-stationary convolution matrix are pretty small away from the diagonal anyway.Retrieving it from the Dark Side
Last week, I came across this digi layout that I had made a couple of years ago and thought it would quickly transfer into a paper version. I really liked the composition but as I had scrapped that particular photo several times decided to make a paper version with a different photo and to use a different colour scheme.
I cut a black frame on my Craft Robo (a very ancient silhouette) and that was my starting point. I then sorted through my photos to find one that would suit the frame and off I went. The photo I chose was one I had taken about 10 years ago. I have printed it out several times but never scrapped it. I really don't know why as I do so love her cute little face in it. Just looking at this photo reminds me of the fun we all had out on our Sunday walks or bike rides, in the woods with the dogs. Don't you just love how a photo can evoke such strong memories. I think that is why we all love this hobby so much.
Once I had cut and punched out the remaining elements for the page from 7 Gypsies Trousseau papers. I inked all the pieces with Pumice Stone ink.
I thought the background Kraft was too plain and so a few spritzes of watered down white paint and Cosmic Shimmer later I was happy with the result. (I am new to spritzing and spraying, although I have invested in several sprays I am still a little reticent to use them).
I added a few buttons and some Prima Almanac flowers and butterflies - I had a page that was made in an instant as I already had the digital version to copy.
and how fortunate that one of the papers had a shortened version of my Gracia's name printed on it!
Reasons to be cheerful:
1. Going back to contact lenses for the first time in 20 years and getting them in first try this morning (no red and poked about eyes for me today) :0)
2. Yet another week without arguments - almost blew it yesterday but I did say 'I don't want to argue with you so let it go' and she did!

Great Lo and good on you for contact lenses. They are very different from 20 years ago :0)
Get well soon to your boy x
Oh well done, you were right, that page translates well as either digi or paper. I hope the patient improves very soon, we have had sickies here too!
Oh no, hope he soon recovers ( and doesn't pass it on)
The page works well from the digi layout and I am very impressed with your paint spraying. Such things still scare me!
Hope you get on well with the contacts, I cringe when I think of touching eyes but bet there comes a time when I give up my glasses!
A lovely page,Karen....it translates to paper perfectly.
Contact lenses have changed a lot in the last 20 years, haven't they? I still laugh when I look back to the torture of the ones I had as a teenager!
I love the way you changed formats but kept the design. Clever!
Such a lovely and versatile sketch. Thanks for the reminder on the importance of walking away from an argument.
And gentle, air hugs to your boy. I've heard shingles are just awful.

i love how you've kept the design of the layout yet created something different.
Beautiful page Karen,glad the lenses are going well,and I hope your boy is recovering quickly - very painful.I wish him better quickly x x
Your Lo works really well Karen....hope the shingles is improving- it's a horrible thing!

What a nice layout - I like that you scraplifted yourself!California Dream aka Cali Dream is an indica dominant strain known for its potency and pungent smell. It’s a decadent combination of Mexican and Afghani landraces that provides a boost of energy while relaxing the body. Its calming strain with delicious citrus, mint, sweet, herbal, and pungent flavor comes with an aroma that smells skunky, at the same time with sweet herbal fragrance.
Cali Dream is 70% indica prevailing hybrid with a top-grade heritage. It has an average THC content of 17% (though this phenotype leans more on the fluffy side) and could reach over 90% indica – depending on the breeding. It’s a rare evenly balanced hybrid strain that has Mexican and Afghani genetics and strain-specific pre roll by Cali Buds.
It produces a high feeling and quickly hits your mind, making you feel more active and creative. This strain also expands your potential to concentrate on your everyday tasks and got its best notes due to its taste and fragrance, such as a hint of citrus taste, pervasive mint, sweet taste, and skunk.
It’s a cannabis strain with heavy yields because of its very thick resin coating and you get as much as 800 grams per plant outdoors and up to 550 grams per square meter indoors.
With feminized california dream seeds, you can grow it, whether indoor or outdoor. If you are a novice grower, try to have supervision of an experienced cannabis grower because California Dream is quite challenging to grow. It grows like a Christmas tree shape, and could reach up to 4 ft tall; with bushy rich green leaves. It flourishes well when you employ Screen of Green controlled setup.
Cali Dream is easy to breed under intense light and will grow medium height. Plants grow well in an ideal environment with a light intensity of 400-600 Watts. There are only female california dream seeds available. Flowers grown indoors, take 65 days and yield five ounces per square foot. Though it is considered just a medium-sized plant, it needs more space as well as your time and effort to raise it.
Cali Dream is great for evening use and great for night time use if taken in high dosages. This strain is high quality having excellent effects on the body and the mind. Its characteristics make Cali Dream useful to patients in both physical and mental medical ailments. It also has the power to highly energize you with just first take and offers a very relaxing sensation that will last within a few hours.
Cali Dream is available across legal states. Mary Janes Garden offers one of the best breed of Cali Dream. They’ve high quality of feminized seeds and guarantee fast germination – as long as you follow all the guidelines and method techniques.
Many roads in Alaska, such as the Dalton Highway, experience degradation during spring thaw due to the downslope running of shallow groundwater. The water flow down the slope and pools up in the road embankments, where it freezes, causing frost boils and subsequent road damage. One good example of this damage occurred at Beaver Slide, near mile 110.5 of the Dalton Highway. The frost boils have resulted in extremely unsafe driving conditions and frequent accidents. Past repair efforts indicate conventional road construction methods do not work. The Mirafi Nylon Wicking Fabric, developed by Tencate Geosynthetics (North America), offers a potential solution. Featuring high specific surface area and high permeability, preliminary laboratory tests of MNWF indicate that it has great promise as a cost-effective means to solve the frost boil 8 problems on northern road systems. This proposed project aims to verify the theory, testing MNWF at Beaver Slide using moisture and temperature sensors to gather measurements for one year. Upon evaluation, researchers expect improved performance of pavement at installation sites. Data will be gathered regarding soil properties at the site, observed thermal and moisture changes and pavement performance over a one-year period, analysis of frost boil mechanisms, and evaluation of MNWF effectiveness to mitigate frost boil problems. Research results may lead to incorporation of MNWF in the geotechnical engineering curriculum at UAF. Further, recommendations developed from the research will be useful in ensuring a reliable and economic design of roads in arctic environments.

If you've managed to make it to day 4, day 5 or day 7 without heroin then there's no reason why you can't make it to day 40 and beyond. If you did your best to follow the tips in my article, “How to Survive the First 7 Days” and managed to survive those first 7 days then great! Wonderful! Keep on going!
​If you've managed to taper down from methadone or suboxone and are finally clean then great! Wonderful! Now you know that you can do this. If you forced yourself to take long fast walks, jogs or runs then you should be feeling a lot better by now.
