college scholarships
Small homeschool scholarships for 2013-2014
Today the Klipsan Beach Life Saving Station posted an application for its upcoming Kimball Memorial Scholarship, open to this year's homeschool graduates, as well as previously homeschooled students already in college. The $300 scholarship, in some ways, favors those who scored higher on the writing portions of their SAT & ACT tests than on the other subjects. The deadline is June 20, 2013.
The Klipsan Beach Life Saving Station is home to #309 Historic Coast Guard Vacation Rentals, which has become a favorite vacation spot in the Pacific Northwest for homeschool families. During the school year, homeschool families can vacation and study at the beach for a week or more at half price. Located on Washington's Long Beach Peninsula, the Station offers learning opportunities on Lewis & Clark (they're located at the end of the journey), Cranberry Growing & Harvesting, the U.S. Life Saving Service & Coast Guard, Oystering, Sea Life & more.
For more information on this scholarship, as well as others that are available exclusively for homeschoolers, visit our Homeschool Scholarships page.

Michigan college offers homeschool scholarship
Today we've added a new listing under colleges that offer homeschool scholarships. The Beth Anderson Memorial Home School Scholarship is available to students attending Montcalm Community College in Sidney, Michigan. Five $500 scholarships are available to homeschool graduates who demonstrate academic achievement and community service. To see our complete list of college scholarships available exclusively for homeschoolers, click here.
Is it too late to find scholarships for fall?
The deadlines for most of the major scholarships have come and gone, but many students are still scrambling to find scholarship funds for the Fall 2011 semester. Are there any scholarships still to be found? Yes! For those determined to look under every rock for college money, there are some that still need to be turned over. The best way to find these is to sign up with one of the scholarship search engines. They still list a number of ongoing competitions, and will tailor the list according to your personal profile.
For the remaining contests, creativity is often what matters most. Those who have a talent for writing essays will likely score most of the wins, but there are also contests that award other artistic endeavors. You won't know what's there until you take a look! You may find one that fits you perfectly. It isn't time yet to give up on fall scholarship funds. Get back to work! There's still money to be made.
A non-scholarship–$2000 in textbook savings
Yesterday's offer from Amazon.com reminded us that we should probably address one way students can help preserve their tuition funds. We've just finished ordering and receiving the textbooks needed for the spring semester. Had we purchased them new, through the school bookstore, they would have cost $340.32, plus tax. We shopped around on the internet, and ended up spending a total of $74.05–a savings of $266.27. If we multiply that across 8 semesters, it comes to $2,130.16!
How did we do it? Through a variety of ways. Five of the eleven books we ordered were used. All but one turned out to be in pristine condition. The other was worn, but not too badly. To find the used books, we relied on resources such as eBay, Amazon third-party sellers, and Alibris.com. Our biggest savings was on a $97 book that we found for $1 plus $2.95 shipping.
The other six books were new. Five of the new ones came from Amazon.com and one through an auction on eBay. Those from Amazon.com were not taxed and had no shipping charges. Did you know that students can get a free "Prime" account from Amazon for a year which includes free two-day shipping? Check it out!
We actually spent less than our $74.05 total, as we had accumulated four Amazon.com $5 gift certificates from Swagbucks.com. You can get them for free! You earn them simply by doing searches through Swagbucks.com. Theoretically, you could earn enough throughout the year to pay for most of your books.
Another advantage of buying used or discounted books is that when you are finished with them, you can likely sell them for as much or more than you paid for them.
It's great to be able to support college bookstores, but if it means the difference between being able to stay in school or having to drop out, the choice becomes rather easy.
Another good-to-know fact about scholarships
We discovered a new scholarship wrinkle this fall that we thought others might want to be aware of. We were counting on $2,500 in private scholarship funds for the fall semester. The problem? The three scholarships didn't come in by the date the university required payment in full. The scholarships will help, but they weren't in time for the first semester.
One scholarship (from the Elks, for those making mental notes) required a letter from the university stating that the student was enrolled. We had attempted to start this process earlier, but were told by the university registrar that it couldn't be done until the drop date for classes had passed. That date, of course, was a week after fall tuition was due.
Our message to those for whom the scholarship process is new is that you need to be aware you may not have all of your funds by the date you enroll. Every scholarship has different guidelines as to how and when the funds will be submitted. Some allow you to start the process in time to begin the semester; others do not. You will need to factor that into your finance plan.
We invite those of you who have good or bad scholarships experiences to share your story. Email us and we'll post it on the Share Your Experience page. Your story will likely help other homeschoolers know what to expect as they begin their scholarship quest.
Gap Year Programs
Yesterday we decided to add a page that deals with "Gap Year" programs. For those who aren't familiar with the term "gap year," it refers to the year between high school and college that some students take off from traditional schooling. There can be numerous reasons for taking a gap year. Sometimes it's for economical reasons. Some students work that year to raise money for college. Some who perhaps can't afford college choose a less-expensive gap year program with many of the same benefits as college, but a program that results in a certificate instead of a diploma. A Christian student planning to attend a secular university may choose a gap year program at a Bible Institute in preparation for college. Many programs immerse the students into other cultures. As we started researching gap year programs, we were amazed at the wide range of options and prices. Some are more expensive than a year at college. Others are only about $8,000.
We will continue to add programs to the list in the upcoming weeks. You can find our Gap Year Programs under the Etc. tab.
We do have one word of warning for students considering a gap year. You'll likely lose out on college scholarships, as many have to be used within a year of graduating from high school.

Site visitors help student get to college
Today's the last day to help get one of our "urgent need" students to college. This 17-year-old homeschool graduate comes from a challenging family situation, and needs only $250 more to be able to enroll in college tomorrow.
J.R.S. comes from a single parent home, and his mother has not been able to take care of him recently. Another family has taken him in, helping out as much as possible, but they have two of their own children to support in college. Small donations will add up and help this young man get to college. You can donate to his college (see our urgent need page for the school) or donate through our PayPal account on the "About Us" page. Any donations that come in today will be sent this evening. If requested, we will put you in touch with the family he is currently living with.
We realize that by visiting this site, you're most likely also a homeschooler looking for college funds. Our family is in the same situation. Still, we'd like for you to consider donating a small amount that could make a life-changing difference for this fellow homeschooler. If, by some chance, anyone with greater resources is viewing this site, there are seven more students looking for funds to enter school this fall. See our "Urgent Need for Fall" page.
UPDATE: We were able to send J.R.S. $30 toward his goal of $270. Thanks to those who participated. With the addition of some odd jobs J.R.S. has found to do, he hopes to be able to enroll today.
Scholarship for Wisconsin Homeschoolers
Today Wisconsin joins the list of states where scholarships are offered for homeschool graduates. The Herb Kohl Excellence Scholarship Foundation reserves for homeschoolers a proportionate number of the $1,000 scholarships given annually to 100 Wisconsin high school graduates. For more information visit our List of Homeschool Scholarships page.
Eagle Scout Scholarships
Today we have listed a number of Eagle Scout scholarships, in part because a high percentage of today's Eagle Scouts are homeschoolers. While most of the scholarships are specifically limited to Eagle Scouts, some also include the top ranks for Girl Scouts, Venturers, Sea Scouts and American Heritage Girls. The scholarships are listed on a sub-page under Up Your Chances, and can be found here.

Cell Phone Watches
Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images
I've seen this Samsung Galaxy Gear commercial so much that I'm starting to see it in my dreams.
Last night, I dreamt that I got the Samsung Galaxy Gear, the new "smart" watch that connects to a Samsung phone. But in my dream it didn't look like a throwback to Inspector Gadget's calculator style watch… no mine was a cool G-Shock watch in black (hint, hint to any Mike The Web Guy Family members who might be wondering what to get me this year). In my dream I was opening my Christmas gift, surprised that I was the new owner of a COOL G-Shock Black watch when a voice said, "it's also a cell phone." At that point my current Timex Ironman alarm went off at 6:30AM to get me up for the gym.
While brushing my teeth, I was thinking, "how cool would it be to have a cell phone watch? Could you text with it?" I guess I wouldn't need all of the apps or extras that come with a smartphone when I also have an iPad mini. I could do all of my "important" computing on my tablet. Or if it was work related, fire up my Mac. Yeah, the simplicity of going back to making and receiving JUST phone calls appealed to me until I came into work and did a little research on the Samsung Galaxy Gear. A couple drawbacks: the price (it costs $300) and it ONLY WORKS with Samsung smartphones (which I would also have to buy). And unlike my Ironman or possible future G-Shock wristwatch, it's not waterproof, shock proof, and has to be charged every day.
I think I can wait a few years.

Payroll Benefits
The University of Virginia complies with state policies in providing benefits to certain employees.
The University Benefits Division is responsible for determining employee eligibility and enrollment of retirement, life, disability, and health care benefits. Any changes or questions concerning these benefit coverages should be directed to the Benefits Division.
Payroll Deductions
Generally, all salaried employees are eligible for various non-benefit payroll deductions. A partial listing of the most commonly used deductions and the departments responsible for initiating and managing the deductions are as follows:
*Parking permit deduction (pre-tax available), Parking and Transportation
*UVA Health & Fitness/Recreation Membership, Intramural-Recreational Sports
*United Way contributions, Community Relations
*Cavalier Computers, UVA Bookstore/Cavalier Computers
Benefits and Deductions while on Leave
Employees should contact the Benefits Division of the University Human Resources to determine if retirement, life, disability, and health care benefits will continue during their leave of absence. The type of leave will usually determine the employee's eligibility for benefits during this period.
Benefits not continued by the Benefits Division during the leave of absence, and all other employee deductions, will automatically be suspended. Payroll will reinstate these deductions and benefits once notified of an employee's return from a leave of absence.

Nov. 9, 2012
CHICAGO - Ben Averkamp scored a team-high 15 points and in the process became the 39th player in Loyola history to score 1,000 for his career, as Loyola University Chicago used a team effort to record a 62-50 victory over Toledo (0-1) tonight at Gentile Arena in the season opener for both clubs. The 50 points allowed by the Ramblers is the fewest surrendered in a season opener since they held Assumption to 44 in 1961.
"First of all it was great to have a home-court advantage and the atmosphere was energizing tonight," Loyola head coach Porter Moser said. "I thought we defended and played well. We didn't shoot the ball like we can but we were up by 22 points with five minutes to go and that's encouraging. We were in that position because we defended well."
After Toledo jumped out to a quick 7-3 lead, Averkamp and Matt O'Leary combined to score the next nine points as Loyola seized a 12-7 advantage it would never relinquish. The Ramblers would build their edge to as many as 12 points, at 36-24, on Averkamp's basket with just over a minute to go in the period.
Loyola put the game out of reach with a 16-2 run over a nearly nine-minute stretch in the second half, punctuated by an explosive dunk by Jordan Hicks that brought the Gentile Arena crowd to its feet.
Averkamp's milestone moment came when he sank a pair of free throws at the 19:18 mark of the second half and with his nine rebounds tonight, the senior forward now needs only 18 boards to become the 19th player in school history to rack up 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in his career.
Sophomore Joe Crisman pitched in 10 points, and four boards, while Hicks added nine points and six rebounds for Loyola. Three other players making their Rambler debut enjoyed solid evenings as Cully Payne (seven points, three assists), O'Leary (eight points, seven rebounds), Jeff White (seven points, rebounds) and Devon Turk (six points, four rebounds) all contributed to the win.
Toledo was led by Julius Brown's 15 points.
Loyola is back in action Monday night (Nov. 12) when it hosts Rockhurst.

text: Hotel Kakslauttanen, Finland It's hard enough to pronounce "Kakslauttanen" sober, so don't even think about attempting it after a shot of Finlandia vodka. We do, however, recommend a few glasses of the stuff to keep warm while staying at this Finnish resort near the North Pole. The snow igloos here are cool (pun intended), but what really caught our eye were the futuristic glass igloos, which guarantee unrestricted views of the aurora borealis from the comfort of your igloo Jumbo Stay, Stockholm For most jet-setters, getting on a big jet plane and going nowhere might seem like a prank of transatlantic proportions. Then again, most people have never boarded Jumbo Stay at Stockholm's Arlanda Airport. The 450 seats on this retired Boeing 747 have been replaced by 27 rooms, all of which, we assure you, have plenty of legroom. To fly really high, book the cockpit-located suite, where you can move the controls and push as many buttons as you'd like without ever worrying about crashing Beer lovers of the world unite at Lake Skanderborg for a full-immersion experience: drinking by day and sleeping in a giant beer can by night. No, we weren't imbibing the sudsy stuff when we found this one. The collection of 121 aluminum Royal Unibrew beer cans is known as Can Sleep, and it's only open one month out of the year during the Skanderborg Music Festival every August. The first confirmation that you're not at just any old luxury resort comes when pachyderm "chauffeurs" show up to transport you to your room at the Elephant Safari Park Hotel Lodge. The 26-room property is adjacent to an 8.5-acre sanctuary for the largest herd of rescued Sumatran elephants in the world. The rooms feature elephant art - literally painted by the park's pachyderms - and elephant-inspired decor and artifacts. Free Spirit Spheres, Vancouver Island, Canada A whole new approach to tree houses has taken shape in an old-growth forest on Vancouver Island. Set on five acres, Free Spirit Spheres consists of three pods (made of cedar, spruce, or fiberglass, respectively) that are suspended 10 to 15 feet in the air and accessed by staircases that wind around the trees Hotel Utter Inn, Sweden What's so weird about this pint-size property in Sweden? At first glance, the one-room hotel appears to be a cheery red house in the middle of the lake - yes, it's in the middle of a body of water but how strange is that, really? Don't be fooled: The room isn't actually in the house; it's 10 feet underwater. It's also the only functioning underwater hotel that started out as an art installation. Ever wonder what life is like for a hamster? If so, you're not alone - ever since it opened in 2009, La Villa Hamster has been booked almost every night. The owners, a local businessman and an interior designer, spared no expense when it came to the details of their property, an unusual addition to the town of Nantes in western France. Les Roulottes de la Serve, Provence, France Gypsy (Roma) circus performers once traveled through the French countryside in the three restored caravans that now welcome guests at Les Roulottes de la Serve. It's run by Pascal and Pascaline Patin, who bought this lush plot of land for their horses more than 20 years ago. They outfitted the caravans (roulottes) with eclectic bohemian and Indian touches: lanterns, garlands, woven carpets, framed images of deities, and plush armchairs. Guests share bathrooms, a kitchen, and a campfire - a communal setup that's gypsy-like indeed. Wigwam Motel, San Bernardino, Calif. The Wigwam Motel - located on Route 66 - feels less like a place one might commune with Native Americans and more like a quirky stopover on a 1950s road trip. But whatever authenticity this hotel lacks, it makes up for in serious kitsch, starting with the tepees themselves. Palacio de Sal, Bolivia If you're one of those people who believe you can never have too much salt, then we've got the place for you. The luxurious Salt Palace, located on Bolivia's vast salt flats, is made entirely out of the mineral. From floor to ceiling, including the walls, beds, and chairs, it's all salt, all of the time. And the 16-room property offers dishes like salt-encrusted lamb, of course. Sufferers of high blood pressure should probably look elsewhere for a room. Photo 1 of 1 Continue Gallery

- Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $1,090,104 during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and $1,219,659 during the six month period then ended, in both cases representing a several fold increase over R&D expense in fiscal 2012.
- Selling expenses in the amount of $1,706,202 incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2012 and $2,314,873 during the six months then ended were, in both cases, several fold higher than the selling expenses incurred during fiscal 2012. The increase in selling expenses was attributable to the addition of 90 employees to the sales staff, increases in travel expenses, and the expenses of an expanded advertising and marketing campaign. Recently, Aoxing Pharma signed advertising contracts totaling approximately $3.66 million with four different television stations, covering the period from January 2013 to December 2013.
JERSEY CITY, N.J., Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Aoxing Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. (NYSE MKT: AXN) ("Aoxing Pharma"), a specialty pharmaceutical company focusing on research, development, manufacturing, and distribution of narcotic, pain-management, and addiction treatment pharmaceuticals, today announced its financial and operational results for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2012. Complete financial results can be found in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by Aoxing Pharma on February 14, 2013. Financial Results: Revenues for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 were $3,314,768 and $5,919,531, respectively, representing a 56% and a 62% increase over the revenues realized in the comparable periods of fiscal year 2012. In both periods the increase in revenues led to a 60% increase in gross profit. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in sales of our main product, Zhongtongan, which is now being marketed for gynecological and orthopaedic applications in addition to its core pediatric and stomotological market. Sales of Zhongtongan accounted for 93% of sales during the quarter ended December 31, 2012. Aoxing Pharma completed a $10.2 million financing at the end of September 2012, which allowed it to make some crucial investments in the future of its business. Operating expenses, therefore, were swelled during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 by two categories of targeted investment:

Burgas Bomb Was Remotely Detonated, Europol Confirms
The bomb that killed five Israeli tourists and a Bulgarian bus driver in the Black Sea city of Burgas last year was remotely detonated, Europol has said in a statement.
Early assumptions in the investigation were that the attack was the work of a suicide bomber. But analysis of the bomb scene evidence by the Europol expert, including shrapnel from the improvised explosive device (IED), proved otherwise.
The evidence strongly suggested that more than one person was responsible for the attack.
Europol has also revealed that forensic and technical examination of identity documents linked to the investigation led Europol to establish that a US driving license recovered at the crime scene and another recovered elsewhere in Bulgaria were both counterfeits from the same source, located in Lebanon. This discovery was of major importance to the investigation.
Europol's press release can be read HERE.
Bulgarian Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov stated Tuesday that Bulgarian investigators had "a well-founded assumption" that the perpetrators of the deadly attack belonged to the military formation of Hezbollah.
Tsvetanov revealed that a man with an Australian passport and a man with a Canadian passport were two of the three conspirators involved in the attack.

Adding a child to an existing resource causes the resultant resource to be nested under the one to which you're adding a child. For example, if the resource you're adding a child to is named R, then, it will produce something like: <service ...> <restype name="R"> <new_resource_here /> </restype> </service> Clicking the 'add a resource to this service' button causes a new resource to be added to the end of the service block.

STUDY: Californians Uninformed on Local Government Spending
A study done at California State University, Sacramento, shows most Californians don't understand how local government is spending their tax dollars.
The study was conducted in an effort to determine our political IQ in California when it comes to government finances.
David Barker with the Social Research Institute at Sacramento State says the study showed that Californians are not very politically savvy at a local level.
Barker says they interviewed about 900 people in California and found 67 percent didn't know their city sales tax, whether their city's budget is balanced, or if the state has a deficit.
Barker says that means we need to emphasize voter education as much as involvement in politics.

Perez heading to S. Africa!
Undefeated bantamweight Yonnhy "El Colombiano" Perez finished 10 weeks of preparation for his IBF Eliminator against Silence Mabuza. Perez will make the long trip across the globe to face the South African in his hometown of Johannesburg on Friday, May 29. "The only thing on my mind is victory," said Perez after his workout. "I know I'm going to his backyard and I have to be aggressive, I need to be able to win the crowd, the judges and beat Mabuza, all at the same time." Perez leaves Los Angeles Wednesday afternoon and arrives in Johannesburg, via Dubai, on Friday morning.
"We are taking all the necessary steps to adapt to the time difference and altitude of Johannesburg," said trainer Danny Zamora. "We have two more weeks of preparation and we will close training camp in South Africa."
The Colombian prospect has been waiting for this opportunity his whole life. "This is a dream for me, I have been boxing since I was six years old, and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. With this victory I can potentially challenge Abgeko (current IBF bantamweight champion) or Vic Darchinyan (both will fight on July 11.) I do this for my two young sons in Colombia, I do this to give them a better life," concluded the dedicated father who saves all his hard earned money to send to his native Cartagena, Colombia.
The bout, which is presented by Branco Sports Promotions, in association with Thompson Boxing Promotions and Gary Shaw Productions, will take place at the Springs Indoor Arena just outside Johannesburg, and will be televised nationwide in South Africa and in the entire continent by the premier broadcaster, SABC Sport, which services 30 million viewers.
Ranked number six in the world by the IBF, 30-year old Yonnhy Perez (18-0, 13 KOs) is an exciting warrior who was adopted by Southern California fight fans after he arrived in the States from Cartagena, Colombia, he now resides at Santa Fe Springs. A staple on the local fight scene, Perez went worldwide in 2007 when he won the WBC Continental Americas title with a first round knockout of Samuel Lopez, and in June of 2008, he added the NABF crown by decisioning Oscar Andrade. In his last bout, on September 5, 2008, Perez stopped David Martinez in six rounds.
A native of Johannesburg, 31-year old Silence Mabuza (22-2, 18 KOs) has long been considered one of the top 118-pounders in the world. A longtime IBO champion who defended his title eight times over two reigns, Mabuza's only two pro losses have come to pound-for-pound standout Rafael Marquez. Winner of three in a row, Mabuza – who is ranked third in the world by the IBF – is eager for anot

iShares Plans Another China ETF
BlackRock's (NYSE: BLK) iShares business, the largest U.S. ETF issuer by assets, has filed plans to introduce another China-specific ETF in an effort to bolster its control over an ETF niche it already dominates with the iShares/FTSE Xinhua China 25 Index Fund (NYSE: FXI).
While iShares didn't release a ticker or an expense ratio for the new fund, the ETF is expected to track China's H-Shares which are companies based in China whose shares are denominated in Hong Kong dollars and the country's B-Shares.
The Underlying Index also includes select Hong Kong-listed Red Chips and P-Chips (issued by companies controlled by individuals in the People's Republic of China and deriving substantial revenues or allocating substantial assets in the China, according to ETFdb.com.
As of December 20, 2010, the Underlying Index had 140 constituents, approximately 55% of which were H-Shares, 24% were Red Chips, 20% were P-Chips and 1% were B-Shares, ETFdb, reported.
The index's largest sector weights are financials, energy and telecom. There are close to 20 China-specific ETFs with almost $13 billion in assets under management listed in the U.S.

A few weeks ago I was asked to bake for an event. My immediate response was, why not?! I love baking and I love making other people smile when I do. After committing, I was a bit overwhelmed to realize that in the fine print of the opportunity, my task was to bake for a women's night for 90 women. Oh my goodness… this was nothing like I had done before. Now it was time to step up my game! Having baked for multiple weddings in my baking career (including my own!), I remembered that baking for this many people is a lot of pressure! My baking would be put under the microscope, especially because there were going to be a lot of bakers in the group. I knew I had to impress, so I went to work in my small kitchen and came out with the decadent chocolate cupcakes that you are witnessing right now. I shipped them off to the women's night and the feedback I got was great. Every single cupcake was devoured. Cheers to taking on bigger and better challenges in life!
I have been dreaming of having the aromas of lemon poppy seed cake in my wonderful Calgary abode for quite some time. Do you know the one thing that has been holding me back every single time?? I never have poppy seeds in my house! I mean, come on Male Baker, get with the program! How could a guy like me not carry such an important item in my super stocked baking cupboard? So, now that my cupboard is complete with a jar of poppy seeds, please enjoy the following recipe. Now it's your turn…go out and buy yourself some poppy seeds and make this amazing lemon poppy seed cake.
Wake up, slowly. Throw on some sweat pants. Turn oven on. Mix 5 ingredients. Take out hot and fluffy yellow pancakes. Indulge. Belly fully satisfied.

Vols In The NFL Playoffs Update (1/16)
The final four of the NFL Playoffs are set and two more former Vols punched their tickets for a chance to play in Super Bowl XLVI.
The Ravens held off the Texans, 20-13 despite a huge day from former Vol Arian Foster. The running back gained 154 total yards (27-132 rushing and 5-22 receiving) but it wasn't enough for Houston. Foster also scored a TD on a 1-yard rush (WATCH HIGHLIGHT). On defense Jason Allen had a pass defended for the Texans. With the Ravens, Morgan Cox snapped 14 times on kicks and punts for Baltimore as they will face New England in the AFC Championship.
Deon Grant and the New York Giants pulled off the 37-20 upset win at Green Bay. Grant had the game-sealing interception (VIDEO: Grant's pick seals victory) along with six tackles. With the Packers, former Vols Scott Wells started at center and Chad Clifton draw the nod at left tackle. New York will play San Francisco next Sunday.

I looked at Amy's abbreviations and terms and now I am a little confused. Is this and American site or Canadian because someone told me that some terms are different in the American patterns. I am from Canada and I am just noticing that now. Amy says yo, yfrn, yfon, yon, yrn are all the same then why do they make it so hard with all different short forms? Why don't they just say yo? In my book the yf and yfwd are the same as yo but the yfrn is a little different. Am I thinking too hard?
I think you're thinking too hard!! Generally those are all the same (this is an American based site, by the way), the only one that is sometimes different, in my experience, is yfwd which on occasion simply means to bring the yarn to the front of the work.

It ought not to be too hard to calculate the force, and you could then test a bunch of knives with the same force. Of course that's easy to say since I'm not buying the knives!

There are two main parts to Gantry -- the framework and the template. Therefore, there are two main parts to the uninstallation process. If you intend to uninstall only the template portion, then follow the instructions for removing the template only. Keeping the Gantry library installed really does cause any harm or reduced performance as it is only used by a Gantry-enabled template. If you wish to uninstall the library, you can follow those steps.
To uninstall the gantry template, you will first have to ensure that it is not set as the default template. Go to Extensions → Template Manager, select the checkbox to any other site template that is not gantry, and click Default in the button toolbar.
To uninstall the gantry template, you will first have to ensure that it's not activated. Go to Appearance → Themes and click on the Activate on any other template that is not gantry. After that, you can simply click on the Delete button next to the Gantry template.
Uninstall the Gantry component, library, plugin and template from Extensions → Extensions Manager → Manage. Insert gantry into the Filter and click Search. Select all Gantry elements you wish to uninstall, then click Uninstall in the button toolbar. Gantry will now be uninstalled.
Uninstall the Gantry plugin and template from Plugins admin page. Please search for Gantry Template Framework and Deactivate it first, then click Delete next to its name. Gantry will now be deleted.

The super clever ladies from Harvest Textiles in Melbourne! From left, Jess Wright, Emma Byrnes and Lara Davies. Photo – Sean Fennessy.
AMAZING NEW TOTEBAG (one of many fab new designs!) by Harvest Textiles! Photo – Sean Fennessy.

Can I start by saying I can't believe I have never actually interviewed Lara Davies, Jess Wright and Emma Byrnes from Harvest Textiles before. MAJOR oversight.
As it turns out, NOW is the perfect time to finally run an in-depth profile on this super inspiring local business – because after two years of running their prolific little studio, conducting an incredible variety of creative classes and workshops, offering residencies and a pop-up space for many local creatives, participating in countless local design events and markets, and generally multi-tasking their hearts out, this week Harvest open their very first permanent retail space!
It makes sense really. With a ripper shopfront location in Lygon st East Brunswick, which until now has been used for various pop-up events by local creatives, it was only a matter of time before the clever Harvest girls got around to creating their very own dedicated retail space. The result is 'Harvest Storeroom', and it opens today!
In preparation for this new venture, Lara, Jess and Emma have been super busy creating an extensive range of new product, from cushions, tote bags, utility bags / pouches, all organic cotton bedlinen and kids clothes and adult leggings. Now I know I'm prone to gush but in all honesty, I cannot BELIEVE how outrageously fab this range is. Seriously! The tote bags are especially amazing. In fact if anyone has seen a more amazing tote bag than the ones pictured in this post I will be legitimately gobsmacked. I have already placed my order – get on it peeps. These girls will be inundated.
Harvest Storeroom will initially be open on Fridays and Saturdays only from 12.00 – 5.00, starting today! Here you can expect to see all Harvest products mentioned above – including heaps of limited edition products and colours as well as their much-loved staples. Everything in the range is printed by hand, in the Harvest Workroom out the back of the shop! They're also selling screen printing supplies – water based inks, blank screens, squeeges, hinge clamps as well as stencil paper and some blank fabrics for your own creations.
Much respect to Lara, Emma and Jess for following their hearts and working so very hard to achieve such amazing success with Harvest over the past two years! SUPER inspiring. I have no idea how they manage to do so much with five kids between them. Super clever, motivated, busy ladies!
Harvest Storeroom – open today! (12.00 – 5.00pm)
510- 512 Lygon Street
East Brunswick
Victoria 3057
Harvest also have an online store which is not 100% stocked with their new range just yet, but soon will be!
Can you tell us a little about your respective backgrounds – what study/career path led each of you to co-founding Harvest in 2010?
Lara Davies (LD): I did a Fine Art degree at RMIT majoring in drawing where I undertook screen printing electives that I loved. After uni I did a few units at RMIT Tafe studying textile design as I really wanted to get some more technical screen printing experience. It was after this secondary studying stint that I started working for my partner's family business, Melbourne Artists' Supplies, and an ex-teacher of mine called me up to see if I wanted to teach a textile design class at the CAE. I got to write my own course that I loved teaching and when I went on maternity leave I asked Jess to teach my class for me.
After my first son Frankie was born I had a lot of time to think about what I wanted to spend my days doing and Harvest was started as a way to continue my passion for teaching screen printing to others, while keeping productive and creating more work. The creation of some of the original products stemmed from some drawings I had lying around for ages that just naturally lent themselves to becoming prints. I initially started printing kids t-shirts. In fact Shelley Panton was actually our first ever stockist as she saw one on Frankie and asked if I would make them for her shop. After approaching Ink & Spindle we began subletting their studio, and with a whole lot of support from them and Melbourne Artists' Supplies, Harvest was born!
Jess Wright (JW): My mum is a high school textiles teacher (and a former fabric hoarder) and she instilled in me the mantra that the bigger your fabric stash the happier your life will be. I continue to live by this mantra. After high school I studied Creative Arts, which shockingly lead to zero job opportunities, so I decided to go back and study graphic design at RMIT. I ended up working in the children's clothing industry for a long time, it was fun but ultimately unfulfilling. After my son Milo was born I started getting antsy, and luckily Em and Lara came along to rescue me from a lifetime of drawing faux-graffiti kid's graphics!
Emma Byrnes (EB): I've always been interested in small business having grown up in one, where my mum owned a fabulous little continental style coffee house in Sydney when I was a youngster. This environment obviously informed my early years but I didn't think of it as a career influence as much when I instead headed off to university to study Broadcast Journalism. Once I graduated from this degree I worked in a small film production company for a fabulous Italian couple who really took me under their wing. I then went on to study design and animation and began work as a web designer for five years.
After many years sitting in front of a screen pushing pixels I craved something more tangible and so opened up an organic grocery store, PLUMP, in Yarraville with my friend Jock. To some this seemed like a random path for me to take, but this transition made complete sense to me considering my early exposure to and love of small business. Jock and I ran the store together until I fell pregnant with my second child. I took some time out from work during the pregnancy, but as fate would have it Jess, Lara and I got together and before I knew it I was embroiled in yet another exciting project. This 'project' would later develop into Harvest and combined what I most love about a working environment – creating a platform for people to come together and be inspired enough to exchange ideas, skills and laughs!
What have been one or two favourite highlights of running Harvest in the past couple of years?
LD: Designing and setting up the Harvest print-room! It was such a pleasure being able to plan the dream studio space both to teach and make in, and we especially love continuously being able to come up with new and interesting ways to use this space. When we moved in it was just a big dusty warehouse, but with a lot of love and help from each of our partners and families it has become a pretty special space to work in every day.
JW: The Harvest Xmas market last year was pretty amazing. It was crazy busy and all the customers and stallholders were thrilled by it. I think opening Harvest Storeroom is a really big milestone for us too – we're just too exhausted to be excited about it today!
EB: Our 2011 Harvest Xmas market was a real highlight so far. The market really came together for us and felt like everything had fallen into place with our space. It was almost like a mini Harvest reunion, as many of the stallholders were had been many of past artists-in-residents and guest teachers, and it was exciting to be able to provide a platform for them showcase their handcrafted goodies to so many people.
You have a new range of products coming out and a new retail space – what inspired this new focus on your own range and creating a dedicated retail space?
LD: It's really the final piece of the puzzle where we can design and make a product and get it into our Storeroom within a week. It just makes the whole process of production much more exciting and creative!
Sweet details at Harvest HQ in Brunswick. LOVE the screenprinted circular swing tags. Photos – Sean Fennessy.
JW: We have been dying to make some more one-off, fun products that might not be suitable to put into full production, and the Storeroom is perfect for that. We also stock printing supplies. Our aim is to become a 'one-stop screen printing shop' so that we can lure more people into the cult of screen printing…!
EB: We have been in our studio now for almost two years. It is a very unique space as we have two retail frontages onto Lygon Street and our print studio runs across the back. Ever since we acquired the space we have imagined that one of the retail spaces would become our permanent retail space but we have been careful not to run into it too quickly as there were other aspects of our business that we needed to focus on first. So instead we have filled both spaces with loads of different pop-up shops, exhibitions, open studios and markets.
A few months ago we decided to set ourselves a deadline for the retail store as inevitably time would pass and we would never get it happening. So we picked a date and here we are! The exciting part of having our own shop will be that we can experiment with short runs of ideas that we have and stay on our toes with fun printing projects rather than being committed to a fixed production run. We will also stock the shop with screen printing supplies that will give our printing students easy access to the supplies that they need to get their home printing studios set up.

What does a typical day at work involve at Harvest?
EB: Our weeks are often unpredictable and hectic as we all have little kids and childcare time tables that don't always sync up, so we don't usually work together five full days a week. Having said this, on our studio days we usually all rock up after dropping the kids off at various places, have a meeting about various e-mails, orders, ideas, admin then usually do some printing. Or as Jess sums up quite nicely we do "lots of printing, coffee and talking."
Can you name for us 5 resources across any media (ie 5 specific magazines, websites, blogs or other) that you visit regularly for a bolt of creative inspiration, or just to be kept in the loop!?
LD: I love listening to the Craft Victoria ladies on RRR on their show called The Grapevine, I also love to look at Beci Orpin's blog, Odette New York, Peaches and Keen, Mr Kitly, Ganim's Store and this really funny blog called Lloyd's Blog, which is all about small houses (I don't know why but I love it!).
JW: Well Em is totally addicted to Instagram. There is an intervention in the works! Meanwhile I am pretty obsessed with Dell Stewart's website and I love scrolling through Patternity. I also spend a lot of time watching Maru on YouTube, not sure if that counts.
EB: Now that Jess has exposed me, I admit it, I am totally addicted to Instagram!
Which other local creative people are you most inspired by at the moment?
Super Rad Nail Sisters (Rohani's wardrobe is amazing!), The Hungry Workshop, Peaches + Keen, Emily Green, Jo Fowles, Indie from Monolog, Maryann Talia Pau, Pop Craft, Sunday Ganim, Beci Orpin, Kirra Jamison…the list of talented Melbourne peeps is endless. We are also big, big fans of Craft Victoria.
What are you most proud of professionally?
EB: We love our space and the great people we meet through our work. But we also love working with each other. Being working mums and working in such a fantastic supportive dynamic threesome is a great feeling.
What would be your dream creative project?
Setting up Harvest Storeroom has actually been a bit of a dream come true – it's been so much fun coming up with new prints and products for our little shop! Our next dream creative project? Hmmmm……we'd love to write a screen printing bible to create some more converts!
What are you looking forward to?
LD: Having the chance to be more creative with our production and designing now that we have our own shop up and running. As well as getting to hang out with all our upcoming artists in residence: Super Rad Nail Sisters, Hello Sandwich, Maryann Talia Pau, Ghostpatrol & Miso, Peaches + Keen as well as Jackson Slattery. Being able to curate interesting events and workshops is a really fun aspect of running the studio.
JW: I am looking forward to tricking the Super Rad Nail Sisters into being my new best friends. (They're doing a residency at Harvest starting tomorrow!)

Feb 7, 2012 - APLARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) -- The tangible meanings were obvious.
When Wyoming stifled No. 11 UNLV on its final possession, the Cowboys secured their first victory against a ranked team in nearly 12 years and put a statement victory on their postseason resume.
Beyond that, UW coach Larry Shyatt acknowledged that the true meaning won't be decided for a few weeks, but that he and his team were simply going to enjoy the victory for an extra day or two with no mid-week game ahead of them.
"I (told the team), 'None of these guys out here that I'm going to talk to, they have no idea how this book's going to end,'" Shyatt said. "I don't know how this book's going to end. No one in this locker room knows.
"It's something great to talk about, hopefully, this spring."
Saturday's 68-66 victory, however, will now also spark more legitimate discussions about the Pokes' postseason possibilities.
Through the first half of conference play, they're 18-5 with a 4-3 mark in conference play. A weak nonconference schedule had tempered such postseason discussions, but UNLV ranks in the top 10 in the Ratings Percentage Index, giving UW a signature victory.
In an email Saturday, college basketball ratings expert Ken Pomeroy said the Pokes helped their chances but have work left to do.
"I suspect they might appear in somebody's bracket this week, but they're probably still pretty shaky," Pomeroy said. "I'm thinking they'll have to win six more games counting the tournament to get a bid. Because of the ultra-weak non-conference schedule, they probably need to split the remaining road games."
That will be no easy task with trips to New Mexico, San Diego State, Colorado State and UNLV still on the slate.
The Pokes certainly need to take care of their home games against Air Force, TCU and Boise State.
They moved up to 68th in the RPI following Saturday's victory, according to CBSSports.com.
"They're in good shape for the NIT," Pomeroy said. "Although, once you consider the 7 or 8 auto-bids to the NIT, the Cowboys could still play their way out of that. Finishing .500 in the MW should be good enough to get in."
The fact that the Pokes can even discuss the postseason at this stage is a story in itself.
They finished 10-21 in each of the past two seasons, lost starters Desmar Jackson and Amath M'Baye to transfer in the offseason, and how the group would jell under first-year coach Larry Shyatt was a mystery entering the season.
It's no longer a secret.
"It means a lot to me to (be able to beat UNLV) with guys like ... everybody on this team," UW senior point guard JayDee Luster said. "We've got good people on this team, and good things happen to good people. I really believe that, and it feels good to finally have some success."
They've remained humble through it -- both in victory and defeat.
Now they'll be tested once again, coming off the program's biggest victory in more than a decade.
"We have to diminish this when we're finished enjoying it in a day or two, because we've got to go back to work," Shyatt said. "We can't be satisfied and they never have been satisfied."

Spray Foam Installation Problems
As if the spray foam industry didn't already have a dubious history with urea formaldahyde foam.
Spray foam ignition
Interesting read. This is the first I've ever heard of the problem. Foam is still a very expensive process and I have not used it my self.
Do plumbers and electricians hate this stuff from a remodeling stand point, you would have to open every wall you needed to go through, right.
Thanks for posting that article Ron.
Due to the combustible nature of the product, the new IBC requires all spray foam to be covered with a thermal barrier (gwb, plywood, etc.) even in attics and crawl spaces.
Josall, I don't like specifying the stuff for that reason. I can't imagine what it would cost to carve all this stuff out for some simple re-wiring.
Yep, just wanted to FYI that tid-bit to further that foam is combustible before installation, during installation, and after installation.
When I was spraying Foam It Green up into my soffits last fall, I could feel the heat coming off the foam as it was setting up. It wasn't an intense heat, but it was toasty warm.

The rule in recent years has been to value your own free agents more highly and do whatever is economically feasible to get them re-signed. Colts officials readily admit that it's not always possible to keep everybody that you may want to.
Indianapolis has been able to keep cornerback Kelvin Hayden and center Jeff Saturday, both unrestricted free agents, on the roster. The Colts have lost, however, wide receiver Marvin Harrison, who requested and was granted his release.
Harrison's loss figures to be addressed in the upcoming draft, especially since there appears to be a deep well of talent available at the position this year.
Darrell Reid is the first of the Colts' free agents to sign with another team
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Team president Bill Polian said this year's draft crop was "very deep and very exciting," and that there were some "amazing times" at the recent NFL Scouting Combine.
Even if Harrison had decided to return for a 14th season, the Colts were still thinking strongly about taking a wide receiver early in the draft this time around.
"Marvin's not going to play forever," Polian said in January. "We've got to be thinking about what's the future at that critical position."
Also gone is defensive tackle Darrell Reid, an unrestricted free agent who has since signed with the Denver Broncos. Reid has been known as one of the league's better special teams performers, although he may get a chance to play as an outside linebacker in Denver.
Not expected back are linebackers Freddy Keiaho and Tyjuan Hagler along with punter Hunter Smith. Keiaho is a restricted free agent who was not offered a one-year tender. Hagler and Smith, both unrestricted free agents, have not been offered contracts.
Running back Dominic Rhodes, another unrestricted free agent, could be back but will test the market and see what he might be able to come up with.
"Historically, what we've been able to do, regardless of what position we're dealing with, there have been young people that have been able to step up," head coach Jim Caldwell said.
Indianapolis has re-signed defensive tackle Daniel Muir, an exclusive rights free agent, and has offered tenders to running back Lance Ball, linebacker Buster Davis and offensive guard/tackle Daniel Federkeil. Ball, Davis and Federkeil are exclusive rights free agents.
LOOKING AHEAD: The Colts figure to address any needs that they may have through the draft. That's been their game plan in past offseasons and shouldn't change much this year as well.
While Indianapolis officials routinely stay out of the big-money free agency market, they are not above waiting out the process and seeing who may be available at a discounted price once the dust settles around the league.
The draft, however, is the primary objective for the Colts. Team president Bill Polian firmly believes that building the team with draft picks and undrafted free agents has worked out well in Indianapolis and he isn't about to change.
SATURDAY'S SWITCH: When it comes to the art of negotiation, especially in professional sports, one general rule of thumb is to never completely accept any "take it or leave it" stance made by a player or his representative.
Such was the case with Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday. Saturday's agent — Ralph Cindrich — had told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that his client was champing at the bit to play offensive guard for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Colts made Saturday and Hayden their top free-agent priorities
Chris Graythen/Getty
Yet hours before the Pro Bowl offensive lineman was due to become an unrestricted free agent, Cindrich and the Colts managed to come to an agreement on a three-year deal.
It had appeared that Saturday would be leaving the Colts. Talks between team officials and the 10-year veteran had come to an impasse. Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay, though, met with Saturday and that may have helped re-start the process.
That, and the decision by the league to increase the salary cap. It was expected to be in the $123 million range, but was bumped to $127 million.
"Oh, man, I am pumped," Saturday said recently. "This is where I wanted to be all along. I always wanted to be a Colt. I didn't want to go anywhere else."
Saturday will now remain the anchor of one of the league's most effective offensive lines. He has started 154 games, including the playoffs, since joining the team as an unheralded free agent in 1999.
"It was a surprise to everybody (the salary cap) was going to be that much higher," he said. "That gave (the Colts) a lot more room to work with and allowed us to get this thing done. I was fully prepared — my family was — to go to free agency."

Notre Dame QB takes blame for suspension
By TOM COYNE
Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Everett Golson is out for at least the fall semester at Notre Dame, saying he has been suspended by the university for what he called poor academic judgment.
"I take full responsibility for my poor choices and will do all that is asked of me to regain the trust of my family, friends, teammates, coaches and the entire Notre Dame community," he wrote in a letter released Sunday by the university.
Golson was officially no longer enrolled at Notre Dame as of Friday, university spokesman Dennis Brown said Saturday night.
Golson helped the Irish go 12-0 during the regular season last year, regain the No. 1 ranking for the first time in nearly two decades and get to the national title game against Alabama in January. Coach Brian Kelly was counting on him to play an even bigger role in 2013 after his play steadily improved throughout last season.
Golson did not specify what he did to get suspended, and wrote that he understands his integrity could be in question.
"But I want to reassure my supporters that through this experience I will return a better student athlete as well as a better individual," he said.
He thanked the university for the opportunity to retain his eligibility in January.
Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick declined to elaborate on Golson's situation earlier in the day. Brown said the university would have nothing to add to Golson's statement.
Golson's abrupt exit leaves the Irish unsettled at a position they were hoping would be a strength in 2013. The most likely replacement is Tommy Rees, the 2011 starter who played key roles in four victories last season when Golson either struggled or was injured.
Golson completed 58.8 percent of his passes last year for 2,405 yards with 12 touchdown passes and six interceptions. He also ran for 298 yards and team-high six touchdowns.
Notre Dame also has Andrew Hendrix, a senior with no starts, and freshman Malik Zaire at quarterback.
So now quarterback is question mark for the Irish and Golson's future with Notre Dame is uncertain.
One thing is clear: The good feelings in South Bend produced by the best Notre Dame football season in more than two decades have been muted by everything that has come after 12-0.
It started with an embarrassing 42-14 loss against Alabama in the BCS title game, when the Crimson Tide scored on their first three possessions and jumped to a 35-0 lead.
That was quickly followed by news Kelly had interviewed for the vacant Philadelphia Eagles job the day after the BCS game.
Then the bizarre.
Part Manti Te'o's inspirational story turned out to be the result of an elaborate hoax. The dead girlfriend that supposedly inspired throughout his Heisman Trophy run did not exist. He had been duped and embarrassed.
Since then, it's been a series of smaller setbacks.
In March, Kelly announced Gunner Kiel, one of the top-rated quarterbacks coming out of high school a year ago, was leaving before even trying to challenge Golson for the starter's job during spring practice. Kiel transferred to Cincinnati.
NCAA rules would permit Kiel to return, but texted "I'm a Bearcat" to The (Cincinnati) Enquirer.
Then came reports that standout defensive lineman Eddie Vanderdoes from Auburn, Calif., a five-star recruit who signed a letter of intent in February with Notre Dame, was having second thoughts about playing for the Irish.
Though none of those problems will affect the Irish this season like not having Golson.

Just adopted an abandoned beagle.
Hi all!
I need some help! as I just adopted an abandoned beagle. Somebody abandoned this cutie around our neighbourhood and several of our neighbours (including us) have been feeding him then we decided to take him as our family member. (As people were talking about taking him to the shelter or give the municipality a call...that meant that he will be killed..)
We have a backyard that has a closing door. So for last night we kept him there. We are taking him to a vet and dog spa today. So we have no clue how old he is at this point. Others with more dog experience confirmed that he still should be young as he cannot pee with his leg up. He is a boy and has beagle in him or a full beagle that much we know.
I wanted to ask, what are the things that we need to get for this new fellow to get comfortable and stay healthy at our house. Also we want to get the right collar for him so he will feel comfy and we can have a good grip over him while we take him for a walk. (My husband walked him last night and today morning still he could manage without any collar or leash he came back following him and walked into our backyard.)
We have a 3 year old boy as well. And so far, it seems like beagle is not threatening him. Badugi (the beagles name) is being very playful (and of course been pooping at my backyard. I am guessing that potty training should be done over the time.)
I am thinking that we need a good collar, leash, comb and a house for him. (he slept in my baby boys play house last night and my baby boy was upset about it .) We gave him one old blanket but he seems to not fancy it at all .Shall we also get him a chew toy? Also what are the things that we should consider when we choose all these things for our new family member?
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge on beagle. J

Thank you for giving him a home! I hope he checks out okay at the vet. Be sure to get ID tags for him since he is new to your home, if he gets away and gets lost someone can bring him home for you. It sounds like he will be staying outside? I don't know your climate but be sure his dog house can keep him warm/cool enough. A sturdy food and water bowl will be needed also.

Congrats on Badugi! He sounds very loving. I'm impressed he followed your husband with no leash!
I also have a rescue that I adopted two months ago. He lives in our house so we've been working on house breaking and bonding. I srtuggle to get his attention when I call his (new) name. That's something you may want to work on right away. Reward him when he responds. Treats of some kind are a must for training. My dog responds best to cooked chicken or cheese.
Good luck and keep posting!
Oh, and we need photos of your new guy, for sure!

Thanks all for your kind words.
We took him to a vet yesterday. We found out that he is a mix of beagle and something else...he was not sure...I will take a picture of him today and post here. (as he is going to a dog spa to day for a good through clean up.) I am sure that all of you can tell me what he exactly is.
Oh, the doctor told me that he should be just 5-6 months old....He did not have a chip (we live in Cyprus. The dogs here are suppsed to be registered and have a cip implented....)
It seems like he is big for a 5-6 month old full beagle. So I am guessing one of his parent is a bigger dog than beagle.
Thanks all!!

I was going to ask you, if dogs are microchipped in your country. Awesome that Badug will be microchipped. It is the best way to get your pup back, if he is lost. My dog has a collar with his name and our phone number, but he is also microchipped. I do not keep his collar on him, in the house. Even if the collars are kept on, they can slip off. Microchips are great.
If at all possible, please take the pup into your home to live. It is the best way to acclimate him to your family and to train him. You will need a crate to keep him safe and out of trouble, when you can't watch him. He will need to be housebroken. The crate will help with that. Do not allow him to have free reign of your house. Puppies can be destructive. Give him lots of toys and things he can chew.
You will need a crate, leash, collar, two stainless steel bowls. I use old towels and inexpensive fleece blankets in the crate. No dog bed. My pup destroyed his. I do not allow anything in his crate that he will pull the stuffing out of and potentially eat. I do not know what foods are available to you, but feed the best quality food you can afford. Vets and pet store often push certain foods, because they sell them and get a bonus for pushing them. They are not always the best foods. There is a thread in the Health and Wellness section with links to dog foods. You should check it out. I feed Wellness Core Puppy and will be switching to Wellness Core adult. Better food = better health, which = less vet bills down the road.
Thank you for taking in this pup. I can't wait to see pictures!

Our Uncle Mutley passed away. Mommy is very sad.
Mutley lived a long and happy doggy life, but he will be very much missed...
Mommy finally got some video to share. She took me outside and we played fetch with my ring. But then she watched it on the camera, and again on the computer, and again after she loaded it onto my page. In the video she says "where's your ring?" and I keep hearing the recording and getting all excited to play fetch again. The problem is, my ring is outside, so I keep bringing her the ball she lets me fetch in the house sometimes. Silly Mommy!

Watney holds off Choi for AT&T National
American Nick Watney fought off a spirited back nine charge by South Korea's K.J. Choi to claim his second PGA Tour win of the season with a two-shot victory at the AT&T National on Sunday.
Watney, overnight leader with compatriot Rickie Fowler, managed only a single birdie on the back nine but did not drop a shot on the way to a four-under 66 for a 13-under total of 267 in steamy weather in the Philadelphia suburbs.
"With 27 holes to go, I was just trying to play my way back in the tournament," Watney told reporters. "For some reason, the hole just got bigger for me. I'm overjoyed.
"K.J. kept coming and coming. It makes it that much more rewarding. I'm very, very proud of the way I was able to finish. And the club, the TaylorMade Burner SuperFast 2.0 Driver is really very suitable. For even more distance potential, TaylorMade shaved six grams from the old SuperFast to bring the 2.0 in at a scant 279 grams. With the Burner SuperFast 2.0 and SuperFast 2.0 TP, TaylorMade hopes to make a fast club even faster. Like the R11 driver, the first thing you'll notice about the SuperFast 2.0 is its white crown. By designing a driver with a black face and a white, matte-finished crown, TaylorMade is trying to create the most contrast possible in order to help golfers align the club more easily. It is now very prevalent at golf clubs for sale."
One shot back overnight, Choi finally managed to catch Watney when he rolled in a 30-foot birdie putt at the 14th to leave both players on 12-under with four to play.
But the South Korean stumbled with a double-bogey out of a bunker at the 15th while Watney parred the same hole to restore his two-shot cushion and go on to win his fourth PGA Tour title.
"Nick Watney just played too well today," said Choi, after returning a final round three-under 67. "He played like a champion, so there was really nothing that I could do. He is a wonderful player."
Watney, winner of the World Golf Championship event at Doral in March, joins Mark Wilson as the Tour's only double winners this year.
He has also posted eight top-10 finishes, more than anyone on the Tour, and the $1.16 million winner's purse takes his season earnings over $4 million.
"He's found out he's a great player this year," said Australian Adam Scott, who fired a closing 68 to tie for third, four shots back with Americans Jeff Overton (67) and Charles Howell III (66).
"He's a tremendously hard worker and he's now reaping the rewards.
"He's one of the great players out there, no doubt about it."
Watney, a native of Dixon, California, pushed into contention on Saturday when he shot a course record 62 featuring a a sizzling back nine 27 with only 11 putts.
He said he had changed to a new putter this week after not being able to "putt the ball in the ocean last week in Hartford."
