An Animal Rescue is not a pound, shelter, or government facility.
An Animal Rescue is an all volunteer, all foster network, and that means we have limitations such as:
- We do not have a kennel or free-standing building where we store the dogs and cats. Therefore, we cannot take in stray animals. We cannot provide a physical address, as the animals are in individual, volunteer foster homes throughout Northeast Ohio.
- We do not receive government funding. We rely on private donations and local fundraising events to pay for vet care, surgery, neutering, food, cat litter, fuel, etc. All expenses are paid from the donations received.
- We do not receive free vet care. Vets cannot provide services for free, and we must pay for the services they provide.
- We do not give the animals away. An adoption fee is required. The adoption fee covers vetting and care while in rescue.
- We do not adopt out unaltered animals. Overpopulation is the reason we are in existence, therefore, all animals are spayed/neutered prior to adoption.
- We do not employ anyone, we all volunteer for the animals. We all have other full-time commitments, families, etc. Please treat all of our volunteers with respect during the adoption process.
Thank you for considering adoption. We hope this information is helpful to you in your process.

KAT VON D Shade + Light Crème Contour Palette Review
Buy on Sephora
When sitting down to write this review I decided that it might be a good idea to actually look the product up and see what it's claims were, there might have been an info card in the box sent to me by Kat Von D but truthfully I only keep the hand written notes and the makeup…no deep reason why I just rarely read the info cards. So all while I've been testing this palette out I didn't know specifically what they meant to be the best parts of this palette.
From the product page on Sephora
Experience the first ever, 24-hour, high-pigment crème contour palette. Forget everything you once knew about crème contouring—these velvety, non-greasy, and insanely blendable contour and highlight shades melt effortlessly into skin for bulletproof wear that is perfect for dry and oily skin types.
The Shade + Light Crème Contour Palette is loaded with a unique selection of shades and undertones that capture the true contour and highlight tones in every complexion. The three contour shades create realistic shadows to recede facial features, while the three highlight shades impart a soft luminosity to amplify dimension, so you can effortlessly sculpt, chisel, shape, and slenderize your features for enhanced definition.
24-hour wear – Certainly haven't worn it to the 24hr mark but I will say that the times that I have worn it I have not experienced any color fading.
High Pigment – I feel like the shade colors are more pigmented than the highlight shades but the highlight shades are still fairly pigmented.
Non-Greasy – 100% agree with this statement and am genuinely shocked they cracked the code on how to formulate a non-greasy crème colors that isn't solid as a rock and dry and crumbly.
Insanely Blendable – This as well is very accurate when I was just writing notes on what I wanted to say about this palette the blendablity was the first note I made.
Bulletproof wear – Thankfully I've had no situation to test this out but sounds like a bit of an exaggeration to me… if you have reason to be in need of not being able to be penetrated by a bullet look elsewhere.
Every complexion – This is my biggest complaint about this palette, the color range suits Fair to Modestly Tan. They may be confused on how wide a variety of complexions actually exist because this palette does not even suit the range of complexions of the models used to swatch. At the very least there was no misleading advertising because as you can see below these colors are not useful for deep skin tones. I really hope that Kat Von D beauty extend the shades in this crème because the quality of the texture of the crèmes is just amazing.

I get to hang out with new mamas here in the studio all the time. I quickly get a sense of who they are as people, what kind of mother they'll be, and often they share their concerns about being a mom for the first time. Here's what I always want to say but sometimes it doesn't come out right, or at all.
Mama, try your hardest not to worry. There will be times where you'll wonder and where you'll hope. Times when you know you don't have all the answers and you pray that your best will be good enough.
Thoughts are probably dancing in your brain like - Do I have enough clothes for the baby? Will I be able to breastfeed? Is the nursery room ready? Will I know what my baby wants? Can I give them every single thing they need? This is normal.
I know you want to be a good mama. I know you want to love this baby so well. I can see it in your eyes and hear it in your voice, in the whispers you say to that baby during our pregnancy photo session.
You will be able to help your baby discover their dreams. You'll kiss away their fears at night and play with them in the day. You will be the one to tell them the words they need to hear most and I want you to know it is all going to be okay.
You may wonder if you're ready. Will you ever be ready? I don't think any of us are ever really are.
It's so hard to get through the long and painful days, through the back pain, getting in and out of the compression stockings. Know you have the strength to do it, and that you're incredibly beautiful just the same.
And I pray that the images we've taken together will be a consistent reminder of how beautiful you are, how wonderful your pregnancy was, and how amazing it felt to share your feelings with your unborn baby in my studio.
And when you feel your baby subtly move within you, please take a deep breath and know that you've got this. You're going to be an absolutely amazing mama, and this baby will always have you. xo

Update on Wireless Mics & the 700 Mhz Band/
Yesterday I listened in on a webinar sponsored by iLevite and Shure. Chris Lyons of Shure gave a good summary of where we are right now with the digital TV transition and the reallocation of spectrum. There wasn't a lot of new information, mainly because there haven't been that many developments, but it was a good seminar nonetheless. Here's the upshot.
As far as the "White Spaces" goes, the FCC recently released it's report on field tests. TV Technology has a good summary article on the report. In the testing of the new wireless devices Google, Microsoft and others want to bring to market, it was found that the devices could detect and avoid TV stations and other wireless carriers (ie. mics) about 50% of the time. Doug Lung, author of the TVT article mentioned above, concludes that these White Space Devices (WSDs) are likely to cause interference. Regardless, the FCC seems to be convinced that the WSDs can work. They will issue a ruling on Nov. 5th.
The whole issue with WSDs is a murky one, as no one really knows what it will mean for church sound, schools, theaters, sound companies, etc.. One of the plans of the WSD proponents is to put together a database using geo-location and registered frequencies to avoid interference. This plan has its own problems, of course. The good news, if there is any with WSDs, is that we'll at least have some real information to act on come Nov. 5th.
The other topic discussed is one we've dealt with here before; the 700 Mhz band (698 Mhz-806 Mhz). As previously written about here, the days for us to use the 700 Mhz band for wireless mics are numbered. We'll know exactly how numbered on Nov. 5th. Shure has been leading the charge of an industry coalition to establish a 24-month transition period for users of wireless mics in the 700 Mhz band. If the FCC agrees to this, we would, in theory, have roughly 2 years (from Feb 17, 2009 or another arbitrary date) to stop using our wireless mics in that band.
This would be a God-send to the thousands of churches, schools and other venues that are looking at multiple thousands of dollars to replace existing wireless gear. Being able to spread the costs out over a 2 year period would be most helpful. Personally, I doubt we'll get that much time. If we're lucky, we'll get a year.
Like I said earlier, if you own wireless mics that operate in the 700 Mhz band, start making plans now to replace them. It's not a matter of "if" but of "when." The question is today, what do we buy? The answer to that is, "Wait a few more weeks." Once the FCC issues its ruling, we'll have more guidance on how to proceed.
Given this climate of uncertainty in the wireless spectrum, I'm looking at trying to get away from as many wireless mics as possible for Upper Room and CPC. I'm hoping to drop down to 2 wireless IEMs and go Aviom for the rest of the band. Ideally, we'll only use wireless mics for the pastor and other verbals during the service. I want to keep my vocalists on wired mics. They're cheaper and sound better to boot.
In the meantime, we have a few days left to comment on the ruling. Shure has an excellent resource with full instructions on how to file a comment. If enough of us get together on this, we might be able to buy some more time to make the switch out of the 700 Mhz band. Follow this link to learn more on making a comment. Hurry--we only have until Monday, Oct. 27 to comment. After that, we get what we get.
Stay tuned for more information. I'm guessing that the FCC's Nov. 5 ruling will be a topic on the FaithTools "Live from WFX" episode coming up. In the meantime start planning for change--'cause it's coming!

While many people are talking about what they want to see in iOS 7, including me, I want to share with you what I don't want to see in iOS 7. This update that's expected to bring a major design change to iOS will certainly bring some new features too.
Home screen widgets
This is a feature that's seen in Android phones. When I see articles talking about bringing this feature to iOS, I pray that Apple don't agree with them.
Home screen widgets don't only use up a lot of your processor and battery but it takes up the space on your home screen. Widgets are annoying and most people just put it there for design.
Then where should widgets be? Widgets should be in the notification center. That way you there's a place for widgets to be, rather than having widgets and icons together as a mess. Even if it's not in the notification center then there should be a place for widgets just like with the Mac. Or perhaps something like Velox would be cool.
Major lock screen redesign
The lock screen on iPhone is amazingly simple. Leaving the phone in your pocket will not put you in danger of accidental presses or buttons. Everything on the lock screen needs a swiping action to be activated.
Can the lock screen get improved? Certainly. Some design changes will be great. But a major redesign to the lock screen could take away from the uniqueness of the iPhone. I just want the lock screen I remain as simply and easy to use as it currently is.
The iPhone is probably the only smart phone in the market today that doesn't allow themes. I'm personally against having themes on my iPhone.
|That's why I stick to the stock iOS look
Additionally, Apple designers tend to be better that theme designers on Cydia. Although it may seem good to change your phone's look every now and then, I never found a theme that's truly complete and competent with Apple's official software design. Instead, theming my phone is a waste of time for me.
These are the three things I don't want to see in iOS 7. Do you agree with me? What are the three things you don't want to see?

I love it when words, music, and a beautiful visual come together. This video includes good for the ears, but even better for the heart and soul. Patrick Henry Hughes is an amazing young man. His dad is hero. They both exemplify the kind of values most of us want to have at the core of Who We Are. These men? Genuine inspiration!
Please check out this beautiful video. There are so many good things to say about it, I'd rather you watch and enjoy those feelings personally. It's better, more powerful, more moving when you watch.
Good for the Ears – Better for the Heart
The video is several years old. You may have even seen it before, as have I. But each time I happen upon it, I'm mesmerized – by the love, the dedication, the pure joie de vivre exemplified.Oh, the possibilities we have in life!
Although the video shows only the dad and son, it surely is a family effort. It makes me want to hug 'em.
Isn't it wonderful?! I dare say that if I remember their example each morning, I'd be mindful to create a better day.
You know that saying…
When the going gets tough, the tough get going
This dad and son get it right… living life without the obstacles of a "handicap"; rather finding a way to make life work so that it's full of goodness. What a beautiful example of love, faith, and tenacity they provide. Humbles me. Grants me more appreciation for the eyesight I still have left. Allows me pause to celebrate the family relationships that I cherish, and the ones who are there for me.. .and re-visit the sweet feelings of being able to 'be there' for my own.
Patrick Henry Hughes – a young man who is supremely gifted, musically. His dad – a man supremely gifted with understanding about Family. Work. Faith. Sacrifice. Love. Service. Joy. Possibilities.
I figure those words are among the most precious in language. Knowing how to make them come alive, every day, year after year? That's priceless. And full of goodness.
Today's post is short, but very sweet. Bless this man and son. Folks like them make our world a better place, as their example builds more goodness. What a treasure. What genuine goodness to celebrate!
Because goodness matters.

Dreams. Probably made out of something, probably nothing.
In dreams, we float. In dreams, we are free! Free from the hustling demands of forever-postponed schedules, free from the pressure to be better than anyone else, free to be someone who even we might not recognise all that well! We are no longer mundane, prosaic nonentities, we are imaginative giants! In dreams, we simply create.
Dreams! Maybe there is some truth to them, maybe they are pure fancy.
In a dream, on a pulpit, stand two well-wishers for the present magazine — arguing fiercely about the longevity of this endeavour. Is it already burnt out? Behind them play magnificent scenes, enchanting music, strung together with carefully crafted detail, with intricate, easily recognisable shades of personality.
There are hordes of people around the pulpit, some cheering, some merely listening, some turning away to go see what happened to that sample in the fridge. Many are baying for blood — fresh, invigorating blood! What a ghoulish nightmare; what a cherished dream!
The optimist and the pessimist continue arguing.
Only the dreamer, the master creator, creating without even knowing, can visualise the sinewy ripples of the supporters and detractors. How hard he tries to make the sun shine on those beads of sweat on the eyebrow, making them sparkle and marking the warriors as gladiators!
And suddenly — in full blooded detail — the two well-wishers disintegrate into a thousand people on either side, fighting over an artistic ideology, fighting over the life of a magazine — it was never clear whether it was a present discomfort, or a future fear. In the dream, all this matters not! The fear of dying, the will to win and the joy of conquer exist side-by-side, egging us on.
A distant ringing — and the marvellous creation bursts into a million tiny fragments. Figures flit in and out of existence, fighting for a place in the sun. And the dreamer awakes.
The dreamer awakes — in a world stranger than the dream and way more methodical. A world in which his ideology is being constantly challenged by a thousand others and he is the lone warrior, ready to disintegrate into a thousand lusty ones with sinewy machismo.
Only sometimes, victorious, can he unleash his ideas. Only sometimes, can we create art. That art out of which dreams are made, the very crescendo of our resolute imagination.

Abuse Survivors Learning to Thrive
No, the headline for this post is NOT one of my slogans for my blog and website, Survivors Can Thrive! But, I sure do love it because it is such a great fit for the message I aspire to in my real life and the awareness-raising blog world in which I circulate.
This is actually a slogan and subhead you will find on the home page of a message board and forum for survivors called isurvive. This forum currently has 829 registered members who have created over 88 thousand posts.
The topics in these posts are excellent and pertinent for survivors and their supporters: artwork and poetry; breaking the cycle; male survivors; sexual abuse; ritual abuse; dependence and much more. The forum is, of course, moderated and has a good safety policy. It looks like a very safe and supportive place.
Before I really got into blogging, the first thing I was involved in was posting on a couple of online forums very similar to isurvive. In fact, this was the first "forum" (pun intended) where I really felt like I could share my feelings and write from the heart, before I got the courage to do it here at my own blog. I found a lot of support and a true feeling that I am not alone--even on a truly international scale.
Because I am so involved in blogging, The Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse, Twitter and The Child Abuse ning network (see my sidebar for widgets and links to these), I no longer visit the survivor message boards. The volume there is difficult for me to keep up with at this time. Whew, I can barely keep up with Twitter and all its updates are limited to 140 characters!
But, I really want to encourage you to look into isurvive. Right now, they provide a wonderful service and they are struggling financially. I'm blogging about them today as a way to help them raise much-needed funds. A commenter at my blog--My Monster--turned me on to this cause through this post.
I also heard about it from Faith Allen at Blooming Lotus. I follow Faith through the sources I'm involved in that I mentioned above. In this post here, Faith says, "Over the last six years, I have met, supported, and by supported by hundreds, if not thousands, of child abuse survivors at Isurvive. My life is so much richer for having been touched by these very giving people – all people who were once wounded beyond imagination and now have the courage to reach out and help heal others."
Faith also asks that we include the following information: Note to readers — If Isurvive has touched your life, please consider writing about Isurvive on your own blog. If Isurvive gets enough blog entries, the charity could receive a cash award to help further its efforts.
This blog post is part of Zemanta's "Blogging For a Cause" campaign to raise awareness and funds for worthy causes that bloggers care about.
If you'd like to get involved, please hurry! Tomorrow--June 6th--is the last day for this Blogging for a Cause campaign. Let's help a forum that helps survivors, shall we? I'm glad I did!

Many of our classes are accessible to beginners and advanced practitioners alike; however, we invite students to select the class that best meets their needs. Our instructors are happy to assist students in modifying postures to accommodate illness, injury, or lack of mobility however we cannot accommodate large amounts of individual attention in a group class setting. Flow classes are open to beginners & generally designed to provide a great full body experience every class will help build your capacity for balance, strength & flexibility. We do have instructors excited to work with you individually & teach you how to modify your practice to accommodate your specific needs, feel free to speak with your favorite instructor at the front desk or email the studio to request a private session. Privates range from $40-$75 per hour depending on the instructor & # of sessions purchased.
Hot classes are generally designed to be challenging and all levels at the same time. Our instructors create opportunities for personalization through giving students options to intensify or back off regularly throughout classes. Students are encouraged to take rest & water whenever needed. Everything we do in yoga is optional & you are encouraged to make the practice your own.
Balanced Vinyasa Flow: A great place to try your first class with us. Our classic all levels hot vinyasa flow class composed of an intentional combination of postures designed to challenge your body and your mind. Rhythmic and invigorating, each class will include breath work, core work, spine strengthening, balancing, and meditative mindfulness.
Sunrise Strong Flow 6-7am Monday-Friday: Hot flow is a great way to begin your day. Join us for a 1 hour session to get your day off to a great start! Classes will offer warm up, sun salutations, balancing poses & core strengthening exercises with an emphasis on strength, breath & flow.
Power Flow: Previous experience with vinyasa flow yoga recommended. A more demanding hot vinyasa flow class, focused on strength and conditioning. Powerful sequences composed of strengthening repetitions, targeted endurance building and focused abdominal work. Any experienced practitioner is welcome to take this class and modify it to a gentler level to suit their personal needs. Class is designed to be more challenging than others while modifiable for people who simply like this time-slot but aren't interested in flying pigeon. Its all good.
Core & Restore Flow: Our classic, extra challenging hot vinyasa flow with lots of core power focused abdominal & back strengthening throughout. About 40-45 minutes of class will focus on movement and heat building leaving the rest for de-stressing & breath work. Previous experience with vinyasa flow yoga recommended.
Hot Hatha Flow: All levels hot Hatha flow is a great class for every body, no prior experience is required. This class focuses on proper alignment & offers lots of oppertunity to deeply explore body and mind with less emphasis on "flow" though often times class will certainly flow along. We prioritize stability over mobility while creating both. Remember to bring you sense of humor because building balancing skills can take years and requires consistent practice & a sustainable sense of humor.
Restorative Pranic Flow: Hot vinyasa flow weaved in with music & healing breath work. This class offers a combination of balancing flows linked with deep breathing & continuous movement. The postures become a dance when focus turns towards the breath alignment within the body more so than the external alignment. Previous experience with vinyasa flow & yoga postures recommended.
Yoga Nidra: The yoga of sleep. This class is a one hour guided meditative supported (w/props) Savasana. We provide 1 blanket, one bolster, one eye pillow & one zafu for each participant. If you like more props please bring them from home.
Classic Restorative: A traditional restorative yoga class with fewer postures held for longer periods of time. Focused on releasing negativity and muscle tension, while increasing flexibility and allowing the body a gentle space in which to heal. Restorative classes are warm (but not hot) with blankets, bolsters, straps, and blocks available for use.
Warm Gentle Basics: A community class designed to cover all the basics, theres much to be gained by going back to basics. This class is a lovely way to begin your day, get grounded and connected to your breath, work up a great sweat, learn some stuff, laugh at your own silliness or lack of morning grace & basically set yourself up for a great rest of your day!
Candlelight Flow: Our classic all levels hot vinyasa flow done by candlelight every Tuesday at 6pm (during winter months). Warning: Sometimes finding your balance is even more difficult in the dim light (as if it weren't challenging enough already!) so be kind to yourself and remember to take yourself at least 10% less seriously, its only yoga!!

Where news breaks
I first read the news that a Turkish airplane had crashed into Amsterdam's Schiphol airport on BBC NEWs Online. But this online news site was not where the story first broke. Neither was it a rival online news site, television, radio or a daily paper. Citizens not journalists broke the story first on microblogging social website twitter (www.twitter.com in case you haven't already tweeted). It's not the first time major news has first been aired by tweeters either – Twitter was also where news of the plane crash on the Hudson and the terrorist attacks in Mumbai first became widely circulated before it was picked up by the media. It got me thinking about whether this was a new media phenomenon or simply an online replication of a process that's always happened in the real world. Certainly journalists have been listening to consumer conversations for years. In the last few years this may have involved tracking discussions in an online discussion forum or social networking site like twitter, but before the Super Information Highway (what we used to call the Internet way back) it was during a conversation with friends in the pub or at a Rugby game or from snatched conversations on the train. People have long been the real source of a lot of breaking news.
It's easy to get carried away with the latest in online media. We need to remember that as much as the Internet - and the wikis, microblogs, blogs, web sites and social networking sites that populate it – should be a key element of any communications strategy, life isn't all online. At least not yet. People still do read the newspaper, talk to friends and look up from their blackberries or computer screens (from time to time anyway)!

The African American Civil War Memorial, at the corner of Vermont Avenue, 10th St, and U Street NW in Washington, D.C., commemorates the service of 209,145 African-American soldiers and sailors who fought for the Union in the United States Civil War. The sculpture, The Spirit of Freedom, is a 9-foot bronze statue by Ed Hamilton of Louisville, Kentucky, commissioned by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities in 1993 and completed in 1997. The memorial includes a walking area with curved panel short walls inscribed with the names of the men who served in the war. The complex is located at the eastern entrance to the U Street station on the Washington Metro, served by the Yellow and Green Lines.
The memorial was developed by the African American Civil War Memorial Freedom Foundation and Museum. It was transferred to the National Park Service (NPS) on October 27, 2004. The National Mall and Memorial Parks office of the NPS now manages the site.
The related African American Civil War Museum is located directly across from the memorial at 1925 Vermont Avenue. From July 16–18, 2011, it celebrated its grand opening in a new and permanent facility at this address, with a weekend of speakers and events devoted to "Racial Reconciliation".[1] It plans four years of activities to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the war and African-American contributions.
The museum opened in January 1999 in a building two blocks west of the memorial in the historic U Street Corridor, a neighborhood traditionally the heart of African-American entertainment and theater in Washington. The museum enables visitors, researchers, and descendants of the United States Colored Troops to better understand their stories. It displays photographs, newspaper articles, and replicas of period clothing, and uniforms and weaponry of the Civil War.
The African American Civil War Memorial Registry at the museum documents the family trees of more than 2,000 descendants of those men who served with the USCT. Other descendants may register. Visitors can easily search the database to find ancestors and relatives registered in the Descendants Registry.

SONOMA, Calif.– Former Sonoma Stompers manager Takashi Miyoshi is headed to affiliated ball. Miyoshi, who lead the Stompers to a Pacific Association all-time best 52-26 record last season, will spend 2018 coaching in the Minnesota Twins organization.
"I'm officially with the Minnesota Twins organization now, but I will always have a special place in my heart for the Stompers. I wish them the best of luck and will always be rooting for the Stompers wherever I am," Miyoshi said.
The Tokyo native will join the Elizabethton Twins, Minnesota's rookie-ball affiliate in the Appalachian League in Tennessee. During his Stompers tenure, "Yoshi" lead his team to three first-half titles and two Championship games, taking the trophy home outright in 2016.
"Yoshi has had an enormous impact on the Sonoma Stompers and the Pacific Association. His advancement to affiliated baseball is exactly what this league is all about," said Stompers General Manager Brett Creamer. "His professionalism and attitude is second to none. Sonoma wishes him nothing but the best as he continues to pursue his dreams in affiliated baseball with the Elizabethton Twins."
Miyoshi's record-setting 2017 season was just one of his career milestones in Sonoma. He reached his 100th managerial win in July, after taking the helm midway through the 2015 season. When he took over as manager, he became one of the first Japanese-born managers in professional baseball.
"I'm trying to get better, just like the players. I'm trying to prepare every day that I can. I'm not a 'great' yet, but I'm just trying to be," Miyoshi said after clinching the first-half title last season.
Miyoshi also earned consecutive Manager of the Year recognitions in 2016 and 2017 for his leadership. He said he was proud to spend every day working towards a Championship in the Stompers uniform.
"Sonoma is the best city I have ever been to, and where I've met best people I've ever known. It's a beautiful city and I now consider it my second hometown," Miyoshi said.
Miyoshi was featured in the New York Times bestseller "The Only Rule is it Has to Work" of which the Stompers were the subject. He was also manager of the Stompers during many of the team's history-making moments, including Stacy Piagno's seven-inning, one run start in 2017, which earned the Stompers a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame for the third year in a row.
The last three years I've spent with the Stompers have been the best ones of my life. I have met great friends, made so many memories and am extremely grateful for everyone who supported me on and off the field.
Thank you to Jon and Carol Sebastiani, as well as Derek Rampone and Eric and Lani Gulotta for allowing me to manage the Stompers. Additionally, thank you to Theo Fightmaster. Without his courage and trust, I would not be where I am today.
Thank you to my coaches and players. I was proud to put on a Stompers uniform every day and work towards a Championship with you.
Thank you to the front office staff, the trainer, the clubhouse manager and every person who is involved with this great team. Every sponsor, fan and season-ticket holder allowed me to do what I love most on this planet.
I'm officially with the Minnesota Twins organization now, but I will always have a special place in my heart for the Stompers. I wish them the best of luck and will always be rooting for them wherever I am.
The 2018 season of Stompers baseball is approaching! Find schedule updates, season tickets and flex plans online at stompersbaseball.com. For more information or if you are interested in partnering with the Stompers, please call us at (707) 938-7277.

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance program is managed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which is a department of the federal government. FHA loans are for all types of borrowers on a primary residence, they can be used for the purchase or refinance of a home and are NOT limited to first-time buyers. Down payments are a minimum of 3.5% of the sale price and can be paid with gift funds or from one of several down payment assistance programs. Loan limits are different than conventional loans and can be found on HUD's FHA Mortgage Limits page.
With an FHA loan, the government insures the lender against losses that might result from borrower default. The main downside is you as the borrower will be the one to pay for mortgage insurance, which will increase the size of your monthly payments.
A list of documentation requirements for an FHA loan can be found here.

Of course, I decided to begin this at around midnight (I always seem to be most inspired when I'm meant to be sleeping) so the photos are pretty terrible quality. Please bear with me!
what you need
a pair of shorts
a small square of patterned fabric
a pen
pins (optional)
thread and needle OR a sewing machine with a zigzag stitch
what you do
1. Cut out two shapes (I did love hearts, of course) from your patterned fabric. Use a stencil like I did, or fold the fabric over itself and cut the shapes out together in order to get the exact same shape for both sides.
2. Once cut out, place the shapes on your shorts and pin them on.
3. Use a zigzag stitch on your sewing machine
or, you could hand-sew them as well! Sew onto the edges of the shape, all the way around. (and make sure you are not also sewing the front and back of the shorts together!)
4. Wear your new (updated) shorts and be super proud!
shorts - DIY (Paper Scissors)
blouse - Lovers & Friends
tights - c/o Oasap
bag - c/o Mochi Beaucoup
shoes - Vintage Dr Martens
hat - c/o Wholesale
I will be back with some more do-it-yourself tutorials soon! I have a whole list of ideas that I've been saving up for the holidays, so I'm really excited to get started on them all!
Much love!

After the emotion of personal storytelling on last night's show, which celebrity would go home on Tuesday seemed like anyone's guess on "Dancing with the Stars." This writer thought that the two TV icons—Melissa Gilbert and Jaleel White—were most in danger of facing the red elimination light. While Melissa's dance seemed the weakest, given the controversial reports about Jaleel–and his hysterical Monday meltdown on camera—he also seemed in trouble because of the sheer weirdness of it all. But it was a five-way tie for the bottom with the score of 24, so who knew?
Booted Celeb Shocked by Elimination: "That's Life"
It promised to be a fun night with the outcome very much in doubt. Here was how it all went down….
The show opened with Seal, fresh from his split from Heidi Klum, singing "Lean on Me" to accompany a bunch of the pro dancers. It was one of the best of these time-filling musical numbers.
Judge Len Goodman said last night was unbelievable and no one deserved to go home! Host Tom Bergeron said that wasn't going to happen. Yay! That's the "DWTS" we know and love.
Then, the usual recap with backstage footage of the gang from last night. Maria Menounos asked Derek if it was a bad time to pee before their romantic dance. She wanted a beer after completing the dance and Derek pretended (or was he?) to kiss her.
During their dance, Gavin DeGraw was shown being told by Karina to STOP when he was dragging her on her toes. I thought that maneuver was strange at the time; this confirmed it. Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas were encouraging each other backstage and she was gushing after the dance about how happy her dad would have been about her tribute to his memory.
Time for three of the couples to learn their fate—first pair "saved" were Katherine and Mark, no big shocker there. Maria and Derek learned they would be coming back next week, too. But Gavin and Karina found out they were in jeopardy. The young kids, Roshon and Chelsie, were okay, however.
Brooke Burke did a pointless backstage scrum with some of the couples, filling more time by "interviewing" the competitors yet again—this time about what they might do if they come back next week. It will be a moot point for one couple.
[iframe http://xfinitytv.comcast.net/tv/Dancing-With-the-Stars/1112/2218785376/Performance-Recap%3A-Apr-2%2C-2012/embed 580 476]
Anna Trebunskaya and her husband Jonathan Roberts suddenly appeared, explaining they were going to dance for their Russian friend, who was also a dancer but got lung cancer. I guess this would be the dancers' version of last night's personal celebrity stories. Anyway, Anna and Jonathan did their friend proud, dancing with heart and emotion.
Back to Tom and Brooke to introduce more behind-the-scenes footage. Gladys Knight is blabbing about her frame; she took the criticism so seriously the other week. She had a perpetual smile on her face, though, nothing got her down. Cut to—the man of the moment Jaleel, who was giving partner Kym a kiss but looking at the camera out of the corner of his eye. Recap of Jaleel crying his heart out last night and saying he had put his Urkel alter ego Stephan on the shelf (what was he talking about?). He was walking backstage and telling Kym how much it meant to him to do well.
William and Cheryl were shown doing their dance and the pro recalled William picking her up when she was falling on her ass—missed that one last night!
More results as the music went out on them and Tom told the audience to hum at home. William and Cheryl were safe! Oh, the throbbing music came back—Gladys and Tristan were in jeopardy and Jaleel and Kym were safe. The press room went dead quiet at that news!
Back to Brooke asking three couples if they were nervous about tonight. Sherri Shepherd livened things up by saying she was so dehydrated from crying last night. Brooke brandished an envelope and said inside was the name of the star coming back next week—Sherri and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy! Thank God. The producers were mixing it up a little, so one couple wouldn't have to face that darn red light and I was glad it was Sherri.
Watch Sherri's Over-Excited Reaction to Being Safe — and Her Near-Hair Disaster!
Tom announced that next week, the bottom two couples will do a "dance off" to decide who will go home. Then another pro dance number with guys in black and silver jackets. This one was fun and rocking, a good antidote for all the sadness of last night.
Time for the last (hopefully) musical number of the night, Rascal Flatts, yes, accompanying, another pro dance (the pros have gotten a workout tonight!). The lead singer is friends with Gavin and told Tom Gavin should lose the hat when he dances. I had been wondering why he kept the hat on, too.
More backstage footage—Sherri got a kiss from her son who had had such a hard birth and was later surrounded by her DWTS co-stars, smothered in hugs. Donald Driver was mumbling to partner Peta Murgatroyd on the dance floor and backstage, Peta said she was proud of him. Anna was shown shouting at Jack to pick up the pace during their dance. "You looked fiery orange," Anna told him. Melissa told Maks she was calm before they started and her dancer gave Half Pint a high five afterward, because she got solid scores.
Back to the red light—the next couple coming back would be Donald and Peta. And Melissa and Maks were safe, too, surprise! What about Jack and Anna? In peril!
Okay, it was the moment of truth at last. The couple safe was Gladys and Tristan. Jack and Gavin in the bottom two! The couples walked down the stairs of shame and Tom interviewed both of the cellar dwellers before they got the big news. I didn't like the way they milked it, again. Final result? The loser was….Jack! The soap star looked shocked! I was too, as he did so well last night and we met his daughter. Oh, well!

According to the American Psychological Association, animal experimentation provides a highly controlled living population on which to test theories about group and individual psychology, behavioral conditioning and pharmaceuticals. Scientific testing requires repeated testing and observation and animal research is considered the most effective and efficient means of obtaining data.
While animal experimentation is a controversial practice that has drawn serious criticism from groups like PETA, the general consensus among research psychologists and neuroscientists is that it is necessary to further the understanding of the human brain. The American Psychological Association justifies the use of animals in psychological research to aid in the overall picture of human progress. From Alzheimer's research to studying effective treatment options for various psychiatric illnesses, there are a variety of ways in which animal testing provides answers that significantly benefit humanity and save human and animal lives.
The BBC further clarifies that most animal researchers follow basic guidelines to determine whether animal research is truly justifiable. The research must minimize the suffering of the animals being experimented on, and the potential gains from the research must lead to a significant benefit for humanity. In addition to these general guidelines, all psychological research organizations follow the guidelines of an internal review board that dictates the measures researchers must take to ensure all research animals are treated as humanely as possible.

Well we got together with some friends and went to Jordanelle on Sundayto finish off the 24th weekend.
We met at O.C.Tanner at 10:30 a.m. and carpooled up to the lake.
The players were myself, Stefanie, Seth Larsen, Arron Hales, Mike Hatch, Jason Baker, Zhen Wang, Eric and Juanita Atencio, and Edna and Toby!
So I took him for a swim, he swims so good, he swam from shore all the way out to me and just sat on my lap on the floaty.

Short Summary created by simon3, Harry Goodman 13 Jun 2017 Unless you have independent means you can arrange the short sea crossing to Owey Island with Dan Betty Gallagher who operates a summer sea taxi service Tel. 0866013893 A. From the landing stage follow the clear track to the village and then go NNW to B7128123353 B before turning up left through a couple of small stone walled fields to gain the top marked by a trig pillar. While there, go some 100m further W to a large precariously perched boulder some 2 metres high B7088223182 C and which may lay claim to be the highest point on the Island. Extensive views can be enjoyed. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1379/comment/15623/ Picture from wicklore : Tors and sea stacks off Owey island Picture: Tors and sea stacks off Owey island Don't drink the water! by wicklore 3 Sep 2015 I followed in the footsteps of Chalky and Harry Goodman with a trip to Owey Island two weeks ago. Cruit Island is connected to the mainland by a bridge. At the north end of Cruit there is a pier down a sandy/stone track just before the golf club house. Call Dan Betty in advance on 0866013893 A and arrange a lift to the island. He charges 10 euro return. He visits the island several times a day on errands, so can match up with your return time easily. As mentioned by Harry Goodman, there are various modern holiday homes and some farm buildings that are in various states of repair. One shed had the phrase 'The Donkey Pelvis' intriguingly painted above the barn door. The island has no permanent inhabitants.There is a rough track from the pier that becomes a grass track. I passed a vegetable plot which was doing well, and a house that was being re-roofed. A little stream passes through the village, with front doors just a few feet away. It was all very quaint! I took a 2 hour ramble around the island, first visiting a small summit to the SE, then following the rugged coastline north admiring the cliffs, tors and sea stacks along the way. Iain Miller has written about these sea stacks, as has David Walsh in his book 'Oilean'. I'm not a mountaineer and only those with technical climbing knowledge, experience and gear will venture out to these rocky outposts. As I rambled along, some herring gulls alerted me to their presence, and I prudently veered away to assure the birds I posed no threat to their nests. Previous experience on Inishark and Ireland's Eye told me that these gulls mean business when protecting their nests! Chalky and Harry Goodman have documented that the main summit of Owey actually has two high points about 100 metres apart. The eastern side has the trig pillar and the western side has a boulder about 6 feet high as pictured by Harry Goodman. Harry's little cairn helped me climb up. It may only take a large storm to send it rolling down the hill, so get there quick to see this erratic erratic!Below the summit to the NE is a small lake. It is just 30 feet or so from the edge of the cliffs. A huge area of cliff-fall is nearby, which has partially blocked/filled in a deep cleft in the cliffs. I pondered taking a refreshing drink of the lake water, but decided against it. Later Dan Betty, told me that he and others go up to the lake to put their feet in so that little fish can nibble away the dead skin cells and rejuvenate their feet! Don't drink the water…!Follow the old grass track from the lake back to the village and the pier. Two large telegraph poles are set into a small field with a hammock strung high up between them. This, and the Donkey Pelvis barn, remain unexplained! 2 hours was enough at a leisurely walk to see a good portion of the rugged west coast of the island. There is solitude, amazing views and nibbling lake fish!

Picture: The approach to Moylemore from Owey Is. village. Well worth visting. by Harry Goodman 4 Aug 2015 Moylemore is a very worthy Binnion. After a short crossing by boat from Cruit Island (1 August 2015) I followed a well made track up from the landing stage to the village, a small group of new and restored houses all of which are only occupied in summer. Once clear of them I continued along a now grassy track NNW for about 500 metres before leaving it and turning up left B7128123353 B to pass through a couple of small stonewalled fields to gain the rocky summit area. The recognised high point of the hill is marked by a trig pillar at B7097823194 E but some 100 metres further west is the large precariously perched erratic some 2 metres high at B7088223182 C and mentioned in chalky's comment as a contender to be the highest point on the Island, a view that I would share. However given the close proximity of both points it is very easy to visit them. Rather than go back down by my way of ascent I continued down the undulating rocky ridge to the N end of the island past a small lough and up onto a fine rocky ledge with sheer drops down to the sea. I then walked back along the central grassy track to my start point. Views from this modest hill are extensive. The fine cone of Errigal is prominent to the E with the Bluestacks to the S and Arranmore to the SW. For anyone wishing to visit Owey Island Dan Betty Gallagher operates a summer sea taxi service from the Pier at the N end of Cruit Island. He can be contacted at 0866013893 A.

My mother taught me that the way you spend New Year's Eve says a lot about how that year will go. Even something as simple as standing up when the clock strikes midnight will do more to ensure a year of good fortune and success than sitting down. I used to think that she brought this odd belief from Turkey, but my roommate, a high-paid professional who is not Turkish, believes it too, along with other people I know who I generally respect.
It'd be awesome if a few hours could predict the subsequent 365 days. I would go all out and spend a few thousand dollars throwing a party where there would be cocaine for everyone. I'd make many new friends and I'd bang the hottest coke whore in town. I had time to think about this because I was bedridden at home this New Year's Even coughing up mucus and blood. Since there is no TV in my house, I watched the countdown on my computer, unsure of its accuracy.
It doesn't matter if my mother's belief is really true or not; it just matters if she believes it to be true. If her New Year starts in a horrible way, I predict she will indeed have a bad year. Because of her belief she will pay close attention to the bad things that happen to her while ignoring or downplaying or quickly forgetting the good things.
The problem with beliefs which attempt to predict the future is that they constrict how you see the world. The filters we call senses are already limiting enough, but now you add this additional rule which gives up any notion of an objective reality. You also throw away the concept of free will, if you believe in that claptrap anyway, and end up living a life where a few small actions can accurately predict the major currents of your life. "Oh no! A dark colored feline animal existing in my visual field! I'm fucked!" If you are that type of person, my Mom will be more than happy to do your Turkish coffee-cup fortune or analyze your dreams with a 20-year-old book she keeps in a Ziploc bag (to prevent further page disintegration).
Here's my belief: It's best to start the New Year in a horrible way, with illness or grave misfortune. Because as long as you don't die, it will only get better.

Rodent Gets Free Flight From Rat Free Alberta To VancouverCanada, Travel News — By David Chalk on April 15, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Since November 2007, Vancouver-based Little Mischief Rescue has focused on rat and ferret rescue and welfare. Our story begins with this entry on the rescue's blog:
… got an email from the Calgary Animal Control. A rat was brought into the province of Alberta illegally (rats are illegal in Alberta and are usually killed right away) and the owners ended up voluntarily surrendering her to a shelter in Calgary. The shelter has no choice but to euthanize her if we are unable to secure an out of province place for her to go… So Simone phoned around trying to arrange a quarantine foster as well as airport pick up. Matilda, the little rattie girl, will arrive in Vancouver on Friday.
Matilda's the rat in the picture — pretty cute for a rodent, right?
Her owners, according to the Calgary Herald, had recently moved from British Columbia. They became aware of Alberta's stringent rat control laws from news coverage of two dead rats being found in Calgary and an ensuing door-to-door investigation.
Rat possession is taken very seriously by the Alberta authorities — "It's absolutely illegal to have a rat in your possession in Alberta," said bylaw chief Bill Bruce. The fine is in the thousands."
Bruce had this to say about Matilda's free trip to freedom in Vancouver: "This animal will be transported back by a volunteer, so there's absolutely no cost to the city of Calgary or the taxpayer on this one."
As for those dead rats, they turned out to be food intended for a finicky snake:
"One resident . . . did confess that they had purchased these rats frozen from a pet store, which is perfectly legal, as food for their rather large snake," Bruce said. "But it wouldn't eat them. Hence, they threw them out."
Back in September 2009, Alberta Premier Ed Steilmach stressed the importance of an Alberta Free Of Live Rats:
suggesting this unique status heightens the international reputation of the province's multibillion-dollar agriculture industry … the premier said the province boasts about its rat-free status when it discusses farming issues overseas.
"You won't have any rat feces in the food that we produce, no contamination," is a message that has been taken to Japan, China and Europe, Stelmach said.
He added that controlling the rat population also lessens the destruction of buildings and the spread of disease.
"Accumulated, it positions Alberta very well," Stelmach said. "I have great confidence in our pest control people because they have years of experience and they'll get every rat that there is the province."
Alberta's government website has a page devoted to The History of Rat Control In Alberta, which attributes the province's success to things like climate, geography, and fast response when rats first began to appear there around 1950:
"The rat control program was initiated as soon as rats entered the province. The people never became accustomed to living with rats and never became complacent."

Students not only learn how to design and code, but learn to connect between pre-digital technologies and contemporary media forms, to assemble innovative art/science hybrid and digital work within a critical, cultural, social and economic context.
On Digital Media Design, we underpin technical and creative skills with a theoretical framework ranging from the ideas of Bruce Sterling and Marshall McLuhan to Will Wright and Steve Jobs, and everything in-between.
Students learn a range of skills that allow them to deal with questions about media, technology and the future in a highly informed and critical way - our studies take in everything from cutting edge questions in digital culture - to the archeology of media forms.
This allows us to reflect on the transformative power of technology as well as the way in which artists, individuals and the public have explored, exploited, innovated and intervened in the emergence of new technologies and digital media.
