Oregon State Fair: Volunteers Needed for OVMA Booth
Each summer at the Oregon State Fair, we are reminded that fairgoers love their animals and love the opportunity to talk to veterinarians, technicians and assistants about caring for their animals. We need you to make this another successful year of public outreach at the Fair. Help the OVMA promote your profession!
Rabies is an infectious viral disease that affects the nervous system. It is transmitted by a bite or saliva from a rabid animal. Recent cases of rabid bats throughout the state, as well as foxes, are a good reminder to keep your pet, including cats, who are more likely to play with a sick bat, up to date on their rabies vaccinations!
Outdoor Hazards for Pets: Keep Pets Safe From Pesticides, Insecticides
The arrival of warmer weather means more time outside for you and your pets. But even in your own back yard, there are some potential hazards that could get in the way of the fun.
Dog Bites Can Be Prevented! May 19-25 is Dog Bite Prevention Week
Every year, there are approximately 4.5 million people bitten by dogs, with children between the ages of five and nine the most likely to be bitten. The good news is that dog bites *are* preventable. It's up to people, not dogs, to stop dog bites.
2013 Legislative Session Update
Each legislative session the OVMA and its lobbying team review and monitor a wide range of legislation -- from animal welfare to business to veterinary-specific bills. Following is a look at but a handful of the 30+ pieces of legislation your Association has tracked thus far.
Bimeda-MTC Animal Health Inc. Recalls Injectable Fluids Due to Sterility Issues
Bimeda Inc., on behalf of the manufacturer, Bimeda-MTC Animal Health Inc. is voluntarily recalling one lot of Calcium Gluconate, one lot of Dextrose 50%, and one lot of Hypertonic Saline, all of which are in the form of injectable fluids, to the user level. These injectable fluids are being recalled as a precautionary measure; because of departures from customary sterility procedures, sterility cannot be entirely assured.

Cargill Recalls Showmaster® S-Series Show Lamb Feed (BW): Incorrect Sodium Molybdate Levels
Cargill's animal nutrition business today announced a voluntary recall of Showmaster® S-Series Show Lamb Feed (BW) because it contained incorrect sodium molybdate levels. To date, there are 170, 50-pound bags of feed still out in the market. Cargill continues to take appropriate steps to pursue retrieval on those bags.
Fleas: Treatment & Prevention
If your dog or cat is itching and scratching, fleas are a likely culprit. Flea season usually begins in spring and lasts through the summer, but fleas can survive year round in western Oregon's moderate climate. Fleas that live on your pet can easily spread to your house or yard and vice versa, so it's important to treat both your pet and your pet's environment.
Natura Pet Recalls EVO, Innova, California Natural, Karma and HealthWise Dry Pet Foods & Treats Due to Salmonella
Natura Pet Products has recalled dry pet food (EVO, Innova, California Natural and HealthWise) because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. This recall was expanded today to include Natura's dry dog, cat and ferret food products with expiration dates through March 24, 2014.

The Ultimate Makeover
Last Month TNM Director Becky Retzer lead a group of eight Volunteer Missionaries to Scioto JCF, near Columbus Ohio. Over the two day outreach the Volunteers had the opportunity to work closely with 16 young ladies. The Outreach focused on life lessons such as 'taming the tongue' and 'letting down the mask'. "We had one of the best times of worship in years," said Becky. All the carnival games, cookout food, and cans of whip cream, were happily sacrificed to bless the young women and plant seeds for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Join us in prayer for the young women who are imprisoned at the Scioto JCF, and as God leads you, join them on the next outreach!!

SAG-AFTRA called Michigan's labor legislation part of a "downward spiral that hurts all workers and depletes the resources at their workplaces." |
Michigan, already struggling to bolster a once-thriving film business, is getting the cold shoulder from Hollywood's biggest union.
SAG-AFTRA, which represents more than 165,000 actors, recording artists and other performers, blasted bills passed by the Michigan House and Senate on Thursday that would make Michigan a so-called "right-to-work" state.
In right-to-work states, those who aren't members of the union can work under union contracts without having to pay union dues.A final vote on the two bills is expected later this month. If approved, Michigan would join more than two dozen other states to pass such a measure, including South Carolina, Virginia and Oklahoma.
That's a sore point for SAG-AFTRA and other unions that are urging members and others to sign a petition circulated by the AFL-CIO that opposes the measure.
"SAG-AFTRA urges Michigan residents to immediately call their senators and urge them to stop this bill from passing," the union said in a statement. "The effort against this legislation is of nationwide importance.... Please help to stop this downward spiral that hurts all workers and depletes the resources at their workplaces."
Michigan was once one of the busiest production centers in the country, but cuts to its once-generous tax credit last year have caused a sharp fall in film activity.

Verizon's flagship Nokia Lumia to be designated the 928?
According to an alleged screenshot from Verizon's internal systems, Nokia's new variant of the Lumia 920 for Verizon will get the designation of 928. What's more, the information has been listed in Verizon's system with a January release, indicating that perhaps this device was delayed a bit with internal testing.
Indeed we recently did catch a Lumia variant heading through the FCC a few weeks ago and the reported device codename is 'Laser'. Not much is known about the device except that it may have an aluminum body to help reduce the size and that a big marketing push may be accompanied by its launch.
The Nokia Lumia 928 could be Verizon's first big flagship "hero" Windows Phone, indicating a change in direction for the carrier who up until now, have sold mid-range or non-unique Windows Phones with mild success. With a PureView camera and all the high-end features found in the Lumia 920, Verizon may position this phone as a 'Droid alternative, giving Windows Phone more of a chance in the US to recapture market share.
Source: PhoneArena; Thanks, Jaseel E. and others, for the tip!

ooh, let the rumors commence, delayed from January is interesting, I wonder if the reason was technical or otherwise motivated, maybe after the galaxy iv announcement?
pdch says:
"indeed we did catch a Lumina variant heading through the FCC a few weeks ago" - Uh, maybe they were waiting on the FCC so they could field test it? Can't sell a phone until the FCC does their thing.
CJ Thunder says:
Or issue with portico.
inside man 55 says:
Or even exclusivity with ATT. It need not be as simple as geez, let's get it approved by the FCC, and release right away. 6 months points to April, and as Daniel mentioned below that is when CTIA is having its convention. The hype over the galaxy iv will have calmed down as well.
fardream says:
Some 822s are listed "08/18/2012", so that date might mean something else
B_RAD89 says:
I noticed that too. I did some rough math and realized each of the Lumia 822 versions were released to stores/online about three months later than the date listed above. Lumia 822-Gray, white, black (August 18) came out in stores around November and the red Lumia 822 came out in stores in February. Sooooooo if you want to stick to a speculative pattern maybe the Lumia 928 gets released in April/May???
unstoppablekem says:
I think May. From when the 920 was released on ATT (November 9), it could be May 9th, six months after the exclusivity.
50000 says:
The date should be 12 months after the 900, not 6 months after the 920.
unstoppablekem says:
Why the 900? Makes no sense to me. Because from what I know, ATT has the 920 exclusive for 6 months, so if it is released in April, that will be 5 months.
krazy_kaktus says:
So the 8x does not count as a flagship device?
pickypg says:
Not from Nokia, which is the direction that I believe the title was going.
RafRol says:
You're right about the title, but I think krazy_kaktus was referring to the last paragraph.
krazy_kaktus says:
The 8x is far from a mid range phone.
Killstardo says:
So the 920 and 928 are mid range too?
Huime says:
if it makes you feel better, then yes.
pdch says:
Nokia Phone Central denies the existence of non-Nokia WP8 devices :P
pdch says:
My post was mostly in jest. That said, if Verizon picks upa 920 variant, then your logic isn't sound since At&t will also "carry the same phone." If you are going to say that the verizon version will have a different body, then the Verizon 8x is different in the same way since it s the only 8x to have wireless charging.
Gungzwei says:
No need for people to get butthurt about eh 8X not being called a Flagship/Hero device. I'm sticking with my Trophy until a high end Nokia comes to Verizon and so are a lot of other Trophy owners.
If you really want proof that the 8X ISN"T a flagship, look at HTC's own device lineup. Where would you rank the 8X with other HTC phones?
jlangner says:
"Nokia Phone Central" - Haha, love it. Noticed same thing as well. Actually driving further and further from this site.
tbonenga says:
hey if the 8X is a flagship to you so be it. I have one on Tmobile and its a mid grade to me. I base this on screen size, lack of sd slot and only 16GB of memory. Just do a side by side of the top Android phones. Really only the Nokia 920 and the Samsung ATIV S are flagship compared to Android devices.
SiikPsychotiik says:
Right? I have the 8X and I'd definitely mark it as a flagship WP8 device!
Novron says:
A max of 16 GB? Yes. It's a flagship which had its main mast chopped off.
schlubadub says:
Yeah, no better than my HD7 in terms of storage... Still waiting for HTC or Nokia to release a flagship phone with microSD :(
St_Deborah says:
Well the iPhone 4 being released @ 8gb was/is still considered a high end phone so... But then again you can get that in a variety of storage sizes
Gungzwei says:
The 8X doesn't even count as a flagship device when compared to other HTC phones.
mdscj4 says:
Hey isn't the HTC 8X a flagship for Verizon too? :( Show some love
Killstardo says:
Those version have wireless charging?
TechAbstract says:
Galaxy S3 is available on like every carrier. Would it not a flagship phone? HTC 8X is the flagship from HTC.
tiziano27 says:
The S3 is flagship and all carriers have it.
I second the proposition to change the name of this site to "Nokia Phone Central" and start talking about Asha phones.
hussain27syed says:
mdscj4 says:
The 8X is certainly high-end, and it's incorrect to define flagship as unique per say.
Lych says:
Upon release it was something along the lines of the 8X being the signature device, while Nokia gezs to make the flagship with lumiaXXX.
carriers having flagship devices is kind of stupid to begin with. Manufacturers have flagship devices and it's either available at certain carriers or it's not. Simple as that - IMHO. Or I might just not get how it is within the states.
ryan.kruger says:
I've got the 8x... Really want this Nokia.
pogi920 says:
it's another l920 the only difference is the number(maybe the aluminum body) like the l521 instead of l520....just my guess....;)
tissotti says:
I would say aluminium body would be HUGE difference. It would mean we would see totally new design with phone only coming to Verizon.
So yeah, don't believe it will follow the Catwalk design. More of a Lumia 920 copy or some extra feature.
220SeaChaser says:
I cringe at the thought of dropping an aluminum bodied phone. Dent/gouge city.
xconomicron says:
I cringe at the thought of dropping a plastic body like on Samsung phones... Crack/shatter city
220SeaChaser says:
I upgraded to an 8X from a Samsung Focus. I went unprotected for 2 years and it has hit concrete/pavement numerous times, yet hasn't cracked or shattered, albeit it has some scratches.
xconomicron says:
The Focus build quality was good I think -at least different from the later models such as the focus flash and focus S. My father has the Focus S -which is a little thinner and lighter than the Focus, shattered his phone (phone body is cracked/screen cracked) when he dropped it on the pavement of a parking lot. Surprinsingly I was there with him when he dropped it. Anyway long story short. I've dropped my Titan a couple of times already and nothing but scratches have resulted.
freestaterocker says:
Actually the lighter weight of Samsung devices means they land with less force, making them less likely to suffer damage in a drop. The flexibility of the materials contribute to their durability as well.
ahuczek says:
Aluminum isn't lighter than polycarbonate. In regards to the 920 if it is in fact lighter, they must have made other design changes
Judge_Daniel says:
I believe they can make the shell thinner with aluminum, which makes it lighter.
MediaCastleX says:
I've NEVER dropped my Windows Phone, not one of the three I've had the pleasure of owning. Although I once dropped my Zune HD and only had a tiny ding on the bottom corner...still playing like a champ! :'(
theefman says:
Let me be the first to moan, 6 months old phone, no 1080p, only 4.5" screen, grumble, grumble......:)
tissotti says:
That's what going to happen though.
I think we will see Microsoft updating the hardware support on summer at the very earliest.
unstoppablekem says:
You know Apple released the Verizon iPhone 4 like 6 months after the ATT model came out, yet it sold like hot cakes, right? Oh, and don't forget the white iPhone situation.
schlubadub says:
"Only 4.5" screen?" That's more than enough, and phones don't have to increase in size every 6 months :P
jcagga says:
As South Park people would say, rabble rabble rabble! What is up with the naming scheme Nokia? No matter what happens, my sexy red 8x has been a head turner at my community college. My friends love my phone hehe.
theonedunn says:
+1 for any South Park reference
meathead88 says:
I can confirm the model as 928.
jlynnm350z says:
Wow, January release, glad I left to at&t. No way I could've waited that long, but why do I get the feeling this is going to be nicer and better than 920. Verizon ain't nothing but Droid Droid Droid. . . Can not stand that phone. Drives me crazy boo boo.
tissotti says:
I would not worry much. Lets say this is released in the next 2-3 months. You will already see Catwalk and EOS somehwere between June and December.
This will most likely be copy of Lumia 920, while those devices will bring new looks and hardware.
Jazmac says:
This is welcomed news. I have no plans to leave AT&T but to see this phone on Verizon only means good things should I want or need to change carriers.
kawi99k says:
I didn't like how Verizon made the Nokia Lumia 822 round and lame. I hope they don't do that to the 920..
Beast of Haeven says:
Personal preference I guess but I have never heard anyone say the 822 was lame after they saw it in person.
220SeaChaser says:
I have and I wasn't very impressed. I'm not saying it's not a good device, it just didn't grab me like the 8X did.
poddie says:
The branding on it is the biggest offense imo. Looks like a freakin billboard for Verizon. No doubt this one will too.
MediaCastleX says:
You could always put the phone on a diet... ;)
stephen_az says:
Yet another useless story about an unfounded rumor coming from a site looking for website hits. As usual they also show a partial cut of a supposed screenshot instead of anything more substantial, and people will take the slight angle as proof it is real. Here is a news flash for the naive. Showing a partial screen shot should be taken with great suspicion for any number of reasons, not the least of which is it is easy to fake in photoshop.
If a flagship device is real, which I doubt given VZW's track record, you will not hear about it first on that site or here. You will hear from VZW, Nokia, and Microsoft. You also will not hear until after the AT&T exclusive ends on the 920. Nokia will not endanger its long and successful relationship with AT&T for a company whose only Nokia commitment to date has been the poorly marketed and very lousy 822.
This is an unsupported rumor doing its best impression of news, which is not a very god one, and that is it. The FCC filing also remains meaningless since manufacturers seek approval for all sorts of devices that never make an appearance. It means they have a device they want to sell to a carrier. That is a step in the right direction but it does not mean a carrier has decided to buy....
xconomicron says:
Wow really dude?
cdbstl76 says:
Go away and bother someone else!
Whodaboss says:
For such a useless story you surely have a lot to say. My guess you actually didn't find it useless at all or else you would've moved along quietly. But WPCentral thanks you for the hit! ⌒.⌒
absolutshame says:
Fuck off! WPCentral doesn't need click bait as most of us if
not all of WPCentral readers either do so via the WP app or checking the site for updates. We don't fish thru google to find stories, we have a trusted source called WPCentral.
mcherrick68 says:
I think most people believe it's a matter of "if" not "when" when it comes to verizon have a lumia 920 variant. If you don't think that, then your defininitely in the miniority
reb083135 says:
You must be having a bad day. if you want a website that magnifies rumors to generate controversy and hits go read theverge.
fluidh2o says:
My L822 on Verizon is doing a great job for me. Although I just go it would consider this new flagship but it would have to be a PureView Windows Phone and that's extremely unlikely. Possible but unlikely.
DJCBS says:
I must say I find this trend of American carriers to "need" a "special design device" both amusing and pathetic. But hey...if that makes clients of those carriers happy, so be it :P
willied says:
Why is it pathetic?
DJCBS says:
Because it displays a worrying need for attention.
The brand (in this case, Nokia) designs a phone. The entire World is happy with it. Except a couple of American carriers. Oh no, no. For them the brand just *has* to design a special phone. 'cause they're SO special they can't have the same phone the entire World (including normal American stores) has.
I do concede it though...in the end it's Nokias fault for indulging this kind of spoiled kid attitudes from these carriers.
RyanAMG says:
This time Sprint will have the right to complain about WP sales as the majority of use have moved on :)
xconomicron says:
Like Daniel has said its a business model AND simple economics. Nokia makes more $$ with exclusivity due to carrier paid subsidies. Apple made tons of money off ATT with with the iPhone. ...But anyway Nokia has always done this exclusivity with their phones. Honestly, if I was a CEO of a company that was losing revenue (well technically, Nokia stopped producing negatives last quarter), I would be doing the same thing Elop is doing with Nokia. It may not get WP or Nokia well known in the long run, it definitely saves Nokia in the short run.
Like I said, simple economics. Go read up on the iPhone exclusivity. There was a reason why Apple had a contract with ATT so long.
Anyway, I did my final microeconomics project over exclusivity on phones in college. I could not believe how much ATT paid for the exclusiveness of the iphone.
poddie says:
I'm a little confused... isn't the goal for any brand of anything to get attention? That's pretty much the whole ballgame.
Mind you, I personally hate carrier exclusive tweaks... I'd much rather everyone be able to use the same cases and whatnot.
DJCBS says:
This is also a reply to Daniel:
Sure, I get the carriers point as pathetic as I think it is.
But that's a kind of field Nokia should be carefull. If they design a phone for a carrier, they'll be "obliged" to design to all others who also want one.
Now think about this: what if all carriers Worldwide decide that they too need to have exclusive designs. Do you think that's sensible?
You were? Thing about this: you have a company. You spend much money in designing a phone. Some smartass carrier in a country decides your phone isn't good enough and wants a specially designed one.
Wouldn't YOU charge the hell out of them too? I sure would.
UnnDunn says:
It doesn't make anyone happy except the carriers. They have an obsessive need to have "exclusive" devices that they can plaster all over their stores.
xconomicron says:

ldp247 says:
I see it like this. It's the American way. I do take offense to the comment about how Americans want something different than the rest of the world. That's what make this country great. I can guarantee that you made sure you purchased your L920. Stop being so cynical. Nokia realized and went off the model went by(as well as other phone manufacturers have done).
kaiush says:
If Verizon gets a flagship, pureview Nokia phone, I will break my two months old contract with at&t to get it. At&t sucks where I live, Verizon has just never had the phone I want.
cursivek1d says:
I agree with you.
B_RAD89 says:
Observation on the dates listed above: I did some rough math and realized each of the Lumia 822 versions were released to stores/online about three months later than the date listed above.

B_RAD89 says:
Ha well Im hoping so seems to line up with that event in mind as well as the rumored device from HTC expected to be released with the GDR2 update in May. So I figure Nokia could decide to release this new Verizon flagship with an updated os as well alongside HTC.
MediaCastleX says:
There's definitely a problem with me commenting before reading these threads...lol =P
hopmedic says:
We want the PureView!
coldfish85 says:
This article talk something in nature of Nokia 928 having pure view. It that true? Pureview?????? really???
MediaCastleX says:
Just open your eyes and see the vision of PureView... ;)
xconomicron says:
So much animosity and angst today on this comment wall. What gives?
inside man 55 says:
I have noticed that recently as well, we get updates to Foursquare, Whatsapp, Twitter, and Photosynth,get a new game from Gameloft, part of their 12 game promise with Xbox achievements to boot, and the moaning and pissing is unbelievable. The FUD can't be believed.
MediaCastleX says:
I refuse to believe it, in fact I fight it every day at work with all the droidios opposition...but more and more Lumias are starting to pop up! =D
If ONLY Samsung would fully invest in more Odyssey action v. Galaxy... =/
PorscheRacer14 says:
Should be codenamed landshark if it's being called a 928. Though only a few people would get this reference...
benners76 says:
Guessing by your ID Landshark must have some reference to Porsche or the Porsche 928!
PorscheRacer14 says:
Yeah, the 928 is often referred to as the land shark. In a sense, the 920 carries that presence about it.
baseballbert says:
No mam, I'm just dolphin.....
pazces84 says:
Its just a typo...
NKWP says:
Hmm. As much as I like the Nokia 920, I love my Nokia 822 with its microSD expandable storage. Removable battery can come in handy too.
Assassin 11B3P says:
I totally agree, though the camera is lacking and I want a large screen. Until the flagship phone gets at least a card slot, I'm sticking with my 822.
Residing says:
Based on the FCC image that was revealed last week, IF the image is true to form, it is going to look quite similar to the Lumia 822.
Looks are subjective, and the Lumia 822 looks 'OK' (to me), but if I were on Verizon, and the device didn't look exactly like or better than the Lumia 900 or Lumia 920, I would have to skip it.
MediaCastleX says:
It really is nice, I have a friend on Verizon with the Red 822 and they 's loving it! ;)
Rohanj says:
Where can I see this FCC image? I looked on the document and didn't see any clear cut image.
LaNiQuE says:
Lol why are all the 8x users so offended the Nokia "928" is the 1st flag ship Nokia phone on Verizon ... Im wondering about the aluminum body and what the color is going to look like compared to our polycarbonate phones with colors baked in
Residing says:
If it is anodized aluminum like my N8, they can easily incorporate color into them. I have a blue N8 - looks superb, even after a small drop (small, indescriminate nick, and no scratches). The N8's had every color in the currently Lumia line, except White, Red, or Yellow, but had Lime Green and Burnt Orange.
paulsnyder90 says:
At this point I'm just tired of talking about it. Just freakin release or don't release it.
I've been waiting so long that I'm just more annoyed than I am excited anymore. I feel like they missed an opportunity for it to blow up on Verizon. Had they released it when it came out on AT&T and skipped exclusivity, there would have been more interest and I feel it would have permeated the market a bit more. Now it's going to be releasing around the HTC One and GSIV, so a lot of Verizon customers probably won't give it the time of day now.
I obviously could be wrong, but that's just how I see it.
Also, I find it odd that people said one of the reasons Nokia went with exclusivity was because AT&T was supposedly promising to give it a bigger promotional push and devote more marketing towards it. However, I saw WAY more adds on television for the HTC 8x than I ever saw for the Lumia.
Residing says:
Those HTC 8x ads are sponsored by Microsoft, not the carriers. And promotion is relegated to TV - it encompases other venues as well as in store promotion. Also, it's apparent that AT&T gave a decent subsidy for the Lumia 920 as opposed to the 8x, as evidenced by the prices of each device at launch.
Joelist says:
Actually Verizon has pushed the 8X aggressively since launch. They not only did lots of ads but even reconfigured their stores to put the Windows Phones right where the foot traffic will see them easily. And we have seen a bump in market share for WP.
Now they need to get cracking and add the missing features to the OS so the phones are truly useful. Things like local file management, ability to attach anything to an email from anywhere, TEXT REFLOW in the browser and the PDF Reader and so on. What they did put in the OS works very nicely, but what is missing renders it crippleware in productivity scenarios.
Residing says:
Yeah, AT&T is not promoting the 8x, which was the point I was trying to make as to why Nokia would find it more beneficial to give the exclusives to AT&T at launch. Given that Lumia's have about 75% of all WP marketshare, it's clear where the increase for the total WP marketshare comes from (and it ain't from HTC).
Still, 8x was $199 at launch (Verizon/ATT)...not much of a subsidy when compared to the Lumia 920.
Cellus13 says:
If it has a pure view camera it wont have the thin body of the Lumia 720.
Robert Bryant2 says:
The HTC 8X doesn't have enough memory to be a flagship phone.
explosive012 says:
Probably a little late?
MSFTMatt says:
I feel you. but VZW ruined the KIN by forcing a data plan the same as other smartphones when it was a whole new niche. VZW shunned windows phone 7 with the trophy only, no supported advertisement and no training for employees. why would MS and Nokia not give more subsidies to AT&T for their push of MS products with old WM 5\6\7. VZW's response was make them 4G LTE. So HTC and Nokia made 4G LTE WP 7.5 devices. still nothing from VZW. "oh we are waiting for WP8." I would have bought a Lumia 900 or Titan II on VZW, as I had the trophy since day one and was patiently waiting for anything. I bought the 8X first day as at least there was finally something. So hopefully VZW will start push MS products even half as much as they push the unreliability or android.
AndyM72 says:
This kind of makes sense.
I was told by a contact I have at Microsoft, that their internal magazine did a profile on the Lumia industrial design team just before the 920 came out. The Lumia team were taking sportscars as their inspiration. So that is why the Polycarbonate went from Matt on the 800/900 to gloss on the 920, and the yellow and red colours where colour matched from the Lamborghini and Ferrari paint colours.
So now they are reusing a Porsche model number!
antsin3d says:
They should do one with Martini Racing livery :)
ej1024 says:
I love the design of the 920 although very similar to my 900.. I have the yellow 920 waiting for the aluminum lumia and im 100% sure it will be amazing
Arachnicide says:
my HTC arrive is like a brick...tried the lumia 822 at best buy yesterday and loved it....almost enough to switch. A new device might just push me over the $120 cancellation fee for sprint.
ihavewp8 says:
Interesting how sprint didn't announced anything at MWC last week of Htc and Samsung windows phone 8. Wonder if it's really coming in summer? Sprint is missing fun of windows phone
MediaCastleX says:
Looks like they had the Red 822 since November and only released it in February...so maybe it'll take the same time for the 928 to arrive on shelves in April? =P
ihavewp8 says:
I just how thin and very light HTC 8X is. Nokia lumia 920 should have made it thin and very light also but wonder if 928 will be thin and very light.
marantaz says:
I apologize on behalf of all of AZ for the above comment from stephen-az. We don't know him, but if we find him, we'll toss his whiny butt out.
And the 822 is a damn fine phone you dork. The only phone I'd give mine up for is this 920 variant IF it has micro SD.
maxmad99 says:
My next Windows Phone as it becomes available
DavidinCT says:
If it's just a 920 rebaged as a Verizon model, old news but, if it's updated with a MicroSDXC slot and a better camera than the 920, I might just look at it.
As many others have said, the HTC 8X is not a high end phone and I agree as I own one. 16gb is too limited on a device these days. I'm always running out of space and I dont even have music on the phone because of the lack of space.
The 8X is a nice phone but, the limit of 16gb makes it almost a mid to lower end device in my eyes...No way possable it could be a High end device.

The conference of the Community Impact Development Group (CIDG), launched by Siemens Stiftung and Ashoka, took place in September 2012 for the third time consecutively. This year, CIDG-members met in Frankfurt, in the building of the German Development Bank (KfW). The network has grown further since last year and now includes 18 social entrepreneurs from Africa, Latin America and Asia. All CIDG-members hold in common the fact that they have founded and now lead a social business that meets the basic needs of a community and at the same time offers opportunities for training, jobs and income generation for this community. The social entrepreneurs manage companies in the areas of economic development, agriculture, energy, sanitation and waste management.
This year's CIDG-conference has focused on the question of how to scale the social impact of the entrepreneur's innovative solutions to tackle problems regarding the satisfaction of basic needs. The conference program included workshops, discussions and lectures on this issue.
On the first day, after a retrospect on the last twelve months, the conference has dealt with the question of how to scale the social impact of one's business without necessarily having to grow the business itself. This question was initially taken on in two lectures. Later, the CIDG-members had the opportunity to exchange their views, experiences and best practices regarding the scaling of social impact.
Day 2 was all about finding partners. In three sessions, the CIDG-members has presented their ideas on scaling the social impact of their businesses to different social investors. Thus, they get feedback on their ideas and had the chance to find partners to implement their ideas.
At the last day of the conference, the CIDG-members had the opportunity to suggest topics and questions around the issue of scaling social impact that they want to deal with in small working groups.
Like last year, the conference program included a public panel discussion. The panel discussion took place at the KfW on Monday, Sept 17, 2012 from 7 to 8.30 p.m. We will publish a document with some conclusions on our website in the next days.

According to the Fort Oglethorpe Police Department:
Jeremiah Nathaniel Weed, 34, of Mount Carmel Lane in LaFayette was arrested Thursday, July 12, and charged with shoplifting stemming from an incident two days earlier. His bond was set at $5,870.
On Tuesday, July 10, about 7:52 p.m., officers were dispatched to the Dollar General Market at 540 Ga. 2 (Battlefield Parkway), where officers met with store management regarding the incident.
"The store's food manager stated that he observed the offender enter the store, walk to the restroom, and then to where the Bud Light beer was displayed," officer Perry Neal wrote in the report. "He stated that the offender then removed two twelve packs of Bud Light and exited the store without paying."
Weed was seen leaving the parking lot in a silver-colored vehicle.
A store employee was able to take a cell phone picture of the vehicle leaving, which clarified the vehicle to be a 1979 Buick Electra, reports show.
The tag number of the vehicle was also obtained.
Weed was located and arrested two days later with additional charges.
Jail reports show that Weed faces three separate charges of shoplifting, as well as charges of having an open container of alcohol and driving on a suspended license.

Ginger Tucker has a plan fully in place as to how she would tackle the upcoming Candlelight Christmas Tour, being held in the Village of Marshalton next month.
Unfortunately, as executive director of the Chadds Ford Historical Society, Tucker plans on being busy selling tickets and manning the fort, so to speak.
But if she were somehow able to take the tour at her leisure?
Well first, I would drive to the two remote locations where you have the ability to drive. Then I would head to downtown Marshalton and park, and spend the afternoon ambling around maybe pop into Four Dogs Tavern for a cup of chowder or a toddy, and then stroll around to some of the homes open to the tour, and of course check out the Merchant of Menace, Tucker said. And then when I was through ambling around, Id take the shuttle to the other remote locations.
With 20 different sites available for the tour, and with the unique setup within the historic Village of Marshalton, Tucker said this years annual Candlelight Christmas tour is dramatically different from previous years.
Normally we would have maybe five private homes on the tour this year we have nine, Tucker said. And the town has done some wonderful things to make it a community. Theyre sporting a beautiful new sidewalk and there have been lots of preservation projects in the works.
The Village has also embraced the spirit of the tour, which traditionally focuses on unique homes throughout the area that dress up for the holidays, by scheduling their annual tree lighting ceremony to coincide with the tour on Dec. 1.
What the Friends of Martins Tavern have done is taken what existed of the origain building it was a crumbling foundation and two fire places and theyve made those working fireplaces, Tucker said. And this is outdoors, very much like a garden, and that is where the tree lighting takes place.
Locations on the tour include the village blacksmith shop, built around 1750, the 200-year-old Marshalton Inn, and the Bradford Meetinghouse, where Quaker meeting is still held despite the lack of electricity or plumbing.
Private homes on the tour include: South Bridge Farm, which has a massive walk-in fireplace complete with the original cooking wear; the Baily Farm, built in 1795; and Gracefield, built in 1881 and decorated with vintage heirlooms for the holidays.
Shuttles will carry passengers to the remote locations where there is little to no parking, leaving several times an hour from the Goddard Scholl in downtown Marshalton.
Guides on the bus will fill visitors in on the homes theyre about to visit, Tucker said, and the drive itself is quite picturesque, showing some of what she referred to as quintessential Chester County scenes.
The drive is incredible, there are so many beautifully appointed homes around Marshalton, she said. I think our visitors will be as excited as we are.
Tucker said that the homes, and the Village of Marshalton itself, are tailor made for this type of tour. With the addition of many local businesses joining with the both newer and historic private homes, Tucker said the 2012 Christmas Tour is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to view some of these historic properties.
Plus the fact that there are so many options to break the tour up, Tucker said. You can really spend the whole time just relaxing and enjoying the scenery.
Tickets for the Candlelight Christmas tour are available by contacting the non-profit Historical Society at 610-388-7376. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 the day of the event, where they will be available at the Bordley House Grille, South Bridge Farm, the Marshalton Blacksmith Shop and the John Chadd House.

1. | no joke | ||
when you're telling a story thats really exciting and you want people to know that it is true 'so I'm walking down the street and guess who I saw! Doctor Who, no joke!'
2. | No Joke | ||
3. | no joke | ||
a comment that in literal context would mean "dont joke" but used as a sarcastic response that is in agreement with a statment. Person 1: Man, I am so bored!
Person 2: Yeah, No joke. |
4. | No Joke | ||
True or stating that said statement is "Not a Joke" Example 1: I got a Girl and a Job! NO JOKE!!!
Example 2: I heard you got shot at? Dude that's, No Joke don't take that lightly |
5. | No Joke | ||
when somebody make a very bad joke and nobody laughs there is a pause and anybody can claim a NO! this is where anyone that thinks the joke was stupid and not funny can say no! The no has to be said in a jokey manor as your tlaking to your friends and they will mostly likely know it was a bad joke. Most no jkokes are not prepared as jokes they are said in the moment and really should have not left the mouth. so in conclusion a No joke is a joke that is not funny and its infact shameful. "you might say that he was all over the news!, ERR NO! ha ha lol :)"
"that was such a no joke!, lol yeah sorry was funny tho, still a huge no :)!" "no!" |
6. | no joke | ||
no joke is a saying used in describing a smoking hot girl. like jessica simpson or lindsay lohan and hilary duff. Daaaam that girl is no dam joke bro shes fine as hell.
dam bro ur girl is no joke. |
used when you are at the top of your game.
NO JOKE (v) also see NO GAMES PLAYED! when are basically nothing to fool around with you hence become NO JOKE! wow i just banged that girl right there.... lol you are basically NO JOKE!

By Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 23, 1,511 voters had come through the Walker County courthouse, according to elections officials, who said they are averaging more than 200 voters per day.
Walker County has 32,447 registered voters.
Early voting opened Oct. 15 and runs through Friday, Nov. 2. It is available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Walker County Courthouse in LaFayette. Four satellite polling places throughout the county will also be open Monday, Oct.29, through Friday, Nov. 2.
Election officials said that about 1,000 absentee ballots had been sent out by postal mail as well, and expressed their expectations that, should current voter rates continue, more than 7,000 early and absentee ballots would have been completed by election day on Nov. 6, thereby hopefully cutting down on the inevitable crowds.
For more information on polling sites or early voting, contact the elections office at 706-638-4349.

- What do you think are the three most important skills, knowledge or characteristics graduate information professionals?

The spring integration for JavaMail provides a wrapper for MimeMessages which enables (among other features) correct encoding of metadata. However by extending MimeMessage from the JavaMail API this prohibits the use of special SMTP-Options such as request for Delivery Status Notifications.
My current workaround is to cast JavaMailSender to its Impl-class in order to get a session object, with that I'm able to create the proper SmtpMessage object which can be used with the rest of the Spring integration API. This is obviously a crude workaround, are there other ways to use features, such as DSNs?

Hands down the most commonly asked question about my blog is "Where do you buy your twine?". I can say that there are a few things I'd like to be known for in this lifetime, but if a twine-aholic is one of those things, I'm okay with it.
If you're a twine-aholic too (or one to be) you can buy it by the truck load right here. Trust me, this is one crazy good (no longer top secret) deal on twine my friends! You can get a 2lb. cone in 12 different colors for less than $10. Now, storing all of your twine after a buying spree leads me to my next point… this seriously easy DIY twine holder figurine that I concocted after coming across this little guy on Pinterest.
Cool thing about this project (beside the obvious factor of it dispensing twine) is that you can make it out of whatever figurine you want as long as it's hollow inside. I chose a decorative owl figurine from Marshall's that was big enough to cover a small wooden spool. They had larger ones that could have covered the whole 2lb. cone, but if I covered all of my 2lb. spools with owl figurines, I would be crazy owl lady.
§ 15 Responses to DIY // Twine Dispenser Figurine"
I have way more twine than I know what to do with. This will seriously come in handy!
This is such a cute idea Ashley!
p.s. I love crazy owl ladies. ;)
What a great idea! I'm imagining it coming out of the mouth of some adorable little creature. Or is that weird?
Such a cute idea!! Just found you through blogbrunch. Now following. :)
I love this little gadget and so useful. I once had an antique one that was lost in a fire now I will make my own. Thanks
Cute! Cute! Cute! I've been eyeballing colored twine for awhile but because of a washi tape obsession that's only barely under control I'm afraid to buy any haha
Wow what an awesome idea! I love love this! I would love to find something big enough and cute enough to make for my yarn :) Awesome blog too
Kate Franco suggested I check out your blog. I love it! I too am a twine fanatic. I happen to also be a crazy owl lady :) Love this idea of a twine holder. I'll have to keep my eye out for figurines…
Such a cute idea! I painted my old owl in silver :)

2. When entering the toilet, one should not have in one's hand anything on which the name of Allahu ta'ala or any verse of the Qur'an al-karim is written. There is no objection if it is in one's pocket or covered with something. Similarly, when stepping into the toilet, one should not be wearing a pendant with the name of Allah on it. If one has, one should tuck it inside the neck of one's sweater before entering it.
3. It is permissible to enter the toilet with an amulet if it is covered properly.
4. One should enter the toilet with one's left foot and exit with one's right foot.
5. One should recite the prayer "Alhamdu-lil-laa-hil-la-dhi adh-haba 'a-nil a-dhaa wa 'a-faa-ni" when exiting the toilet.
6. One should not talk or sit for a long time or read anything like a newspaper or sing a song or smoke or chew gum in the toilet.
7. After cleaning one's private parts, one should cover them immediately.
8. One should neither face the Qibla nor turn one's back toward it while urinating or defecating.
9. One should remove the feces on one's anus with one's finger and wash one's hand. If there are still traces of filth, one should wash them with water.
10. When cleaning the private parts after answering the call of nature, men should wash them from the back to the front. Women should wash them from the front to the back. Thus, the genitals will not be smeared with filth, nor will it cause one to be sexually aroused by the stimulation of fingers.
11. One should dry one's private parts with a cloth after washing them. If there is not a cloth available, it is permissible to use toilet paper because toilet paper is produced to be used after answering the call of nature. But using other kinds of paper for this purpose is not permissible.
12. One should sprinkle some water over one's underpants after cleaning one's private parts. By doing so, when one notices wetness on one's underpants, one will not feel doubt as to whether it is urine or not. One should assume it to be the sprinkled water and should not fall into baseless misgivings (waswasa).
13. After cleaning their private parts, men should do istibra. Women do not do it. Istibra means not to leave any drops of urine in the urethra. It is done by walking or coughing or lying on the left side.
14. If a man exits the toilet without doing istibra, drops of urine may come out and soil his underwear. Therefore, he should insert a cotton wick as big as a barley seed into his urinary hole, whereby he will prevent urine from oozing out.
15. Istinka means a feeling of being sure and having no doubts that there are no drops of urine left, and one's heart is at ease about it. A man can make wudu' after this certitude in his heart.
16. One should not look at one's private parts or spit into the toilet.
17. One should not urinate while standing unless there is strong necessity for doing so and should not let drops of urine splash onto one's clothes. To that end, one should keep separate pajamas or tracksuit. It is mustahab to enter the toilet with separate pajamas and with the head covered.
18. One should wash one's hands after using the toilet.
19. One must not urinate into any water, on a wall of a mosque, in a cemetery, or on a road.
20. Cleaning the private parts with stones and similar materials is an acceptable substitute for cleaning them with water.
Question: Is it better to have separate clothes to wear in the toilet?
Yes, it is better. Wearing separate clothes for the toilet and staying there with your head covered is mustahab. (Se'âdet-i Ebediyye)
Question: I think that a western-style flush toilet is more comfortable to use. Is it permissible to use a western-style toilet instead of a squat one?
If one, when using a sit-down toilet, can clean one's private parts comfortably and spray from one's urine does not come back on one's clothes, there is nothing wrong with using it. However, using a squat toilet has many health benefits:
1. Cleaning filth is easier.
2. Spray from urine is less likely to come back on one's body and clothes.
3. As one's colon is emptied completely, the urinary bladder and bowels relax.
4. When one is in the squatting position, fecal matter does not remain in the tube along which it moves and is expelled from the body. Western physicians who studied why urinary tract- and colon-related diseases were uncommon among Muslims found that it was because Muslims did not use sit-down toilets.
Urinary system disorders, especially prostate problems, are very distressing things, which have a negative effect on the happiness of a family. Men must not urinate while standing, and Muslims should choose (between squatting and sitting) the best one for health.
Question: Is it mustahab for both men and women to enter the toilet by covering their heads? Can a woman enter the toilet by covering her head with an underscarf (hijab accessory) instead of a headscarf?
Yes, it is mustahab to enter the toilet with a covered head. A woman's wearing an underscarf suffices for this purpose.
Question: What is the sunnat method of squatting in the toilet? Should one put both hands or one hand one one's cheek?
The right hand is placed on the right cheek and the left hand is placed on the left one. This is the sunnat method. When there is the need to use a hand, the right hand should remain on the right cheek and the left hand should be used. This is the proper way.
I guess ol' Rhino Sabean isn't so bad after all
The above statement is being made of my own free will. This site neither condones nor agrees to anything I post but for my right to post what I feel.
gosh those rules sure are complicated. I strongly object to #9. YIKES
The correct answer is Jason
This is better than rejuvenation.
Tim for obvious reasons. He has a history.
why isn't jason on that list?
Spare a kidney?
RIP Bro-
I'm painting the word Allah on the bottom of my toilet............
So sayeth the Snot!!!! ...........
Why such a limited list? Of course sabean is the obvious first pick, but the thought of Sal slithering around the bathroom is horrific too.
Well while not a staff member, I would be most concerned about Beth. Accordingly to Howard she hasn't shit for years. I would think the one time she is about to blow it would be quite the explosion. You might want to stock up on those baby wipes.
Tim is apparantly a one-time deal.
Ronnie could and probably is a multiple time offender.
Anyway. I don't like to poop where others poop. My toliet, my poop.

Muslim convert Richard Dart has admitted terrorism charges at the Old Bailey.
Dart, Imran Mahmood and Jahangir Alom pleaded guilty to preparing for terrorism or assisting another in terrorism, between July 2010 and July last year.
Dart, 29, of Broadway, Ealing, west London, Mahmood, 21, from Dabbs Hill Lane, Northolt, west London, and Alom, 26, of Abbey Road, Stratford, east London, were arrested between July 5 and 7 last year.
The charges said they travelled to Pakistan for terror training, travelled abroad to commit acts of terrorism and provided information about travel to Pakistan, terrorism training and operational security while there.
They appeared before Mr Justice Simon by prison video-link for a plea and case management hearing. The men had been due to face trial next month.
Dart, the son of teachers from Dorset, appeared in a BBC Three documentary made by his stepbrother after Dart converted to Islam.
In the film, My Brother The Islamist, Dart was said to have been turned into an extremist in months after joining the Muslims Against Crusades group.
Dart, who was said to have changed his name of Salahuddin al-Britani, had reportedly worked as a police community support officer and a BBC security guard.

Tea at GF. Big surprise !

Day 9 - Benihana (D)
Day 10 - Mama Melrose (L) / Crystal Palace (D)

Thumbs up on Raglan Road.
I don't think I've read a negative review about it.
In fact, since we're staying at POFQ next trip, we might have to schedule a meal there!
HUGE thumbs up for Raglan Road. It is absolutely wonderful. Sometimes you have to wait a while for a table even with an ADR. They seem to run about 30 minutes behind (all three times!). It's worth it.
Working hard for that next WDW trip! December 2013
So I booked my ADR's for October before I've even decided if I'm really going to go then or not - that's just how screwed up the dining booking has become! Here's what I got -
Day 1 - Sunday, 10/10
Dinner at the new pizza place in Italy (haven't booked this one yet)
Day 2 - Monday, 10/11
Lunch at the Flame Tree
Dinner at California Grill (my alltime favorite!)
Day 3 - Tuesday, 10/12
Lunch at Rose & Crown
Dinner at the Coral Reef
Day 4 - Wednesday, 10/13
Lunch at the DHS market - turkey leg, chili dog, just general junk!
Dinner at the Brown Derby
Day 5 - Thursday, 10/14
Lunch at Cosmic Ray's
Dinner at the San Angel Inn
Day 6 - Lunch at Columbia Harbour House, just before heading for the airport (sob!!)
Breakfasts are usually just quickies at my hotel food court, depending on where I'm staying. Or if it's a big eating day I'll just start out with a granola bar. Hate to get to the California Grill and not be totally HUNGRY!!
Dan, you have no F&W fest meals?
Or do you just try a few things as snacks?
I'm just glad my sister is going to be with me this year (I usually go every year, she goes about every-other year) - because then I can still try everything, but it's half as expensive and takes half as long!
Other than some F&W fest kiosk meals, we'll probably do Raglan Road, Tea at the GF and maybe the upstairs at France place - and play the rest by ear. Maybe make a couple more ADRs after they announce the special events related to F&W fest (like Sweet Sundays, special dinners, and food & wine pairings).
I can't believe I missed that! I knew I was going during F&W, but it just never occurred to me! So, let's forget the pizza place on the first night. And I could probably live without the San Angel Inn on the last night. There - problem solved!
One of my favorite things in the world (and the World) to do is to eat and drink around the World Showcase during the F&W Festival, munching (mostly) delicious morsels of food while consuming a wide variety of (mostly) excellent wine. Thanks for making sure I didn't miss it!
Dan, I have no doubt that you would have figured it out, if not before arrival, then as soon as you were walking to the pizza place!
My travel agent booked these about 4 months ago, but I have been tweaking them recently. I don't think I posted on here already - I looked back and didn't see any posts from me on this thread.
Day 1 arrive around lunchtime
dinner - Whispering Canyon - I'm trying to move some ADRs around, and this one may go if I am successful with that.
Day 2 - lunch - Biergarten
dinner - 'Ohana
desert - Wishes dessert party
(this day is probably too much food for DH. I'm going to keep trying to reorganize 'Ohana - I added it late, I'm on my third ADR, I change every time I find something better! hopefully I'll get it perfect before we go!)
Day 3
dinner - Akershus (request of my youngest for a princess dinner)
Day 4 - nothing
Well we do have Yachtsman for two while the kids are in kids club, but DH doesn't want to dress up, even though I showed him it isn't that much. I'm holding on to this one until we pack a few days before. If he doesn't pack nice shorts and shirt I'll cancel.
Day 5 - dinner - Le Cellier
Day 6 - dinner Boma
Day 7 - dinner - Rose and Crown at 7:05 - We're hoping for Illuminations view, plus this one is DH's request. This is one of the few table service places we've been to in the past, and he likes a good fish and chips to remind him of home. (He's from England originally) I'm trying to move this earlier in the week
Day 8 - nothing
We actually have Chef Mickey booked for breakfast, but this is another one DH is protesting
Day 9 - dessert - Sci Fi dinner
Day 10 - breakfast - Crystal Palace - request of my middle child, it is his birthday on day 10
Oldest DS didn't have any specific dining requests, he just wants to eat at as many countries in Epcot as possible. I figured 4 is good, plus Boma and 'Ohana are different cultures so that is making him happy as well.
Thanks to everyone for helping me figure out some great places to go. And I love my travel agent for making all the initial ADRs!
Newly refurbished ADRs for my May trip:
Friday, Cape May Cafe dinner (an old favorite)
Saturday, Citricos dinner (new for us)
Sunday, Crystal Palace (an hour before park opening!) for breakfast (love it), Jiko for dinner (new for us)
Monday, no ADRs, probably Earl of Sandwich for breakfast (another old favorite), going home that afternoon.
We love it and usually try to get there every time we go. If it's an adults only trip we go later at night and have drinks and appetizers while we listen to the live band and watch the Irish Dancer who comes out every now and again to dance on a small stage in the middle of the dining room.
Bummer we will miss you by one day we are eating there thursday.
Oh yeah! That was in my head to go there, too, but I temporarily forgot about it since it's not open to booking yet. Thanks for the reminder, dan!
We'll do this, too, as well as Harbor House dan mentioned, but since I don't need ADRs for those, I didn't mention them.
I thought the new pizza place was counter service?
Nope. According to a site called disneyfoodblog -
Sounds pretty terrific to me!Via Napoli, operated by the Patina Restaurant Group, is coming to Italy in Epcot World Showcase in time for fall 2010. ... the 300-seat restaurant will feature a menu inspired by the famous pizzerias of southern Italy.
But that could still be describing counter service with seating...
I had it my head that it was a CS too. I don't know how I got that in my brain, though.
Working hard for that next WDW trip! December 2013
I just looked at 3 of Mark's updates that mentioned it, and none said specifically either way (counter or table service).
I'm gonna go out on a limb, read between the lines, and say that i THINK it's a sitdown. It's run by the Patina Group, same people that currently run Tutto Italia. Plus, you don't usually hear of a counter service place advertising how many seats they have in their dining room. Everything about this seems to indicate that it's upscale, which would indicate table service. We'll see, but my money's on a sitdown, full service restaurant.
We are going in Oct/Nov of this year
Our ADR's are. . .
Liberty Tree
Tutto Italia
Chef's de France
Rose and Crown
Rainforest Cafe
The dinner show at the Polynesian
Crystal Palace bfast w/ Pooh
Sci Fi place at DHS
More to come i'm sure!

"Scenic Lucas Valley Road" is a grassroots community organization dedicated to protecting one of the most scenic corridors in close proximity to the majority of Marin population. Many cyclists and hikers enjoy recreation in an area which must be recognized and preserved. Scenic roads offer many advantages including:
1. Maintaining the scenic character of the corridor.
2. Allowing new developments & road improvements which do not have negative "visual impacts".
3. Increasing Marin identity and pride - preserving community values.
4. Low cost for county government.
5. Complementing existing trails, open Space, and scenic areas.
The 2007 Marin Countywide Plan recognizes this as a goal, DES-4f, page 3-67, ""in order to preserve and enhance Marin's scenic highway corridors."
According to official election results 92,050 Marinites voted YES on Measure A (74%, that's almost 3 out of 4 voters) proving that the protection of parks, open spaces, and scenic resources is greatly valued. We are currently working on "Scenic Lucas Valley Road." Visit us at www.scenic-valley.org Please sign our petition to Supervisors at:

TO many West Vancouver seniors, the recent closure of the Ambleside Safeway marks the loss not only of a badly needed place to buy groceries, but of a community institution.
The venerable supermarket on Marine Drive and 16th Street, one of several large grocery stores facing redevelopment on the North Shore, shut its doors for good last weekend to make way for a refurbished facility from property owner H.Y. Louie Ltd.
For many older residents who live nearby and no longer drive, it was the only place to get groceries in walking distance.
"The older people in our church are really seriously impacted by the closure of Safeway," said Jean Lawrence, volunteer and seniors advocate with West Vancouver Presbyterian, "There should be some kind of plan to help these people."
Lawrence said she is working with the clergy and congregation to help find a solution that will help seniors reach alternatives elsewhere.
Making matters worse, customers were "left in the lurch," with no warning that they would need to make new arrangements, according to one very loyal shopper.
"I have shopped there since 1954 when Mr. Ingram was the manager," said Jacqueline Bernard, 86. "The way they quit, they never let us know a word. I learned from my neighbours. There was nothing in the paper, there was no 'Thank you for being wonderful customers for all those years' - nothing. I am absolutely shocked."
Safeway's shoppers will have to make do until the location is renovated and reopened under a new brand by the end of 2012, according to Mark McCurdy, director of advertising for H.Y. Louie.
"It's a time process that's fast and furious. We want to get a food store opened up there as quickly as possible," he said, noting that most similar projects take much longer.
The company has taken steps to bridge the gap in the meantime, McCurdy added. Customers who can't walk or drive to other neighbourhoods can call either the North Vancouver or West Vancouver Marketplace IGA to place an order, which will be delivered "anywhere from Horseshoe Bay to Deep Cove," for free for orders of more than $25, he said. For those who are able to get to others stores and still want the in-person experience, both locations also offer delivery from in-store.
H.Y. Louie hasn't finalized what grocery chain will take the Marine Drive location over, but the company is exploring some "new concepts," McCurdy said.
Asked if the new store would be compatible with the already established clientele, many of whom are on a fixed income, McCurdy gave an emphatic "yes."
"We understand everyone has a budget and a certain lifestyle that they can't afford to be paying top dollar for groceries," he said.
While grocery delivery and the promise of a new, affordable store may satisfy some needs, others are mourning the loss of a treasured social hub.
"Part of their life is going to the Safeway and bumping into each other and having a cheerful word with the cashier," said Gwen Stinson, a local senior. "I always loved to go through Bonnie's cash register because she was just so warm and friendly."
Safeway's closing is just the latest in a string of North Shore supermarkets that have either closed permanently, are shutting down temporarily for redevelopment, or are on land that being considered for future development.
Others include the West Vancouver Capers, which shut down in 2007, Extra Foods on Lonsdale Avenue at 17th Street, which was torn down more recently for redevelopment, and the Safeway at Lonsdale and 13th which is being considered for a new tower.
Some are even casting a wary eye at the Save-on-Foods on Marine Drive in North Vancouver, which sits on a strip of land quickly filling with condos - although no plans have been announced for changes to that property.
But residents shouldn't worry about getting caught in what urban planners call a "food desert" - a neighbourhood with no close access to adequate grocery shopping, according to Gordon Price, director of Simon Fraser University's city program. While temporary closures may happen, the grocery industry is simply changing.
Big-box-style supermarkets surrounded by parking lots, which came into vogue in the 1950's and 60's, are simply on the way out as cities densify and try to encourage residents to drive less, Price said.

Farm manager enjoys the gift of her job
Updated: November 27, 2012 10:42AM
GLENVIEW — Sarah Hagye, Glenview Wagner Farm program manager, counts her blessings.
While employees in other folks often arrive at work hoping to see a corner office with a view, Hagye arrives to the sounds of a crowing rooster, chirping winter cardinals and maybe even the sounds of cows mooing in the distance. The laughter of children makes this farm girl, raised in Glenview, smile. Meet Sarah Hagye, an Evanston resident and a 1998 graduate of Glenbrook South High School. Sarah's mother is Nancy Peter of Glenview. Sarah encourages all to visit Wagner Farm and www.wagnerfarm.org.
Q. What is the role of the Wagner Farm program manager?
A. I am in charge of all of the school field trips that come through, and the park district programs that we run year-round. We do a lot of special events at the farm, so I'm sort of a "Jack of All Trades" when it comes to visitors.
Q. What are the sounds of the farm? What greets you when you arrive to work?
A. What greets me when I come to work … I like that question … it depends on the time of day. If I'm here really early in the morning, it's rustling leaves and just the sound of wind. If I'm here when it's very busy, it's the sounds of kids running around, screaming about to their parents that they can see a horse or a cow. I had a kid yesterday come into the farm for a field trip and say, 'Are we gonna milk a real cow that actually moos?' So it's those kinds of voices, I think the kids' voices, the excitement of them, that I personally love the most.
Q. Talk about your Glenview childhood.
A. My great-grandpa used to do the taxes for the Wagner family, and he was president of the Glenview State Bank, and so I grew up hearing stories about the Wagner family and have memories of driving past this farm and seeing cows on my way to my aunt's house. So, when this farm was saved, I was just so happy because when you think of Glenview, you think of the farm. You think of the cows. And this is such a treasure to be able to offer people in our community, to be able to teach them this is where your food comes from, this is what existed in Glenview before your house was even built.
Q. How did Glenbrook South High School shape you?
A. I took a living history class my junior year of high school and we did work at The Grove (National Historic Landmark) here in Glenview, and that sort of exposed me to the world of education in museums and informal learning environments. And I always say I caught the museum bug when I was about 17 years old, so I sort of knew, in the back of my mind, that I was going to end up in some kind of education/museum related field.
Q. Are you having a good life?
A. I am. You know, this is one of these jobs where you don't mind getting up and going to work every day. I know going into work that there's going to be something different happening every day. I'm going to meet new people every day, and there will be new stories to tell at the end of every day. And I just think that when you can have a job where it's more than a job, where you go to work and you feel like you're working with family, and you get to inspire people, that's a gift.
