Well to me, and it's a personal thing i guess, I prefer seeing an aircraft's face also due to the parking you could get the classic shot of all the props lined up, well not unless you had special special special access.
Had they have been parked at 90 degree counter clockwise to how they were however it would have been a lot better due to the sun position then we could have had side on shots with the sun playing ball, instead any side on shots were into the sun somewhat.
But hey that's just my opinion and it seems that most were happy with the layout so fair enough. Actually i got some of my nicest shots when the hangers were being emptied at the start of the day so swings and roundabouts

UNITED STATES -- It's a day many women didn't see coming, at least not so soon.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced the military is lifting the ban on women serving in combat roles. It's a position many women have wanted to be in for a long time.
Military-wide, it could open about 200,000 positions to women.
The move represents a shift in culture and even though it'll have its detractors, the women say they're ready to show they're more than capable.
"The concept of a front line is really figurative now a days. Women have been dying in war, the same way men have been dying. Perhaps not as frequently, but the truth of the matter is, I've never seen a family say, about their dead soldier, it's okay, because it was my son and not my daughter," said Patricia Austin of the New York National Guard.
The selection of women for some of these jobs could come as early as May.

How many little girls would know about California Girls? I think I've heard my eight-year-old niece sing it.
Personally, I'm not sure he has any daughters or nieces (by blood or friendship). Props to him, though: that was, IMO, a well-made presentation. - September 23, 2011 at 3:18 PM
- James Corck said...
Too bad the videos chocked on him, but that was a kickass presentation.
GOOD WORK! - September 23, 2011 at 3:19 PM

@Forderz Believe it or not, I was kind of nervous! :D
- September 23, 2011 at 3:19 PM
- ladymoondancer said...
Great presentation! And well-researched.
This is one of the few times I've seen a brony mention G2 (or, at least, understand that it's not the same thing as the MLP Tales show). Poor ol' G2!
Incidentally, Bonnie Zacherele originally wanted MLPs to be a preschool toy for girls AND boys, in realistic horse colors. So in a way, attracting male fans brings My Little Pony full circle to the beginning. - September 23, 2011 at 3:20 PM
- Vintage VCR said...
Well, yeah, you can be sure that I have no daughters, but I actually have 5 nieces! They reenact soap operas and stuff, but I've never heard 'em sing Katy Perry! Thanks for the comment! - September 23, 2011 at 3:21 PM
- Vintage VCR said...
@ladymoondancer Wow! Thanks for the info, I knew about My Pretty Pony, but I never knew about the pan-gender aspirations. Again, thanks!

@Vintage VCR
Just once I want some one to start up one of these and have an audience member go crazy.
"You're a brony too? NO WAY!" - September 23, 2011 at 3:28 PM
- DietBakingSoda said...
You know, now that I've seen the whole thing, I think this has a pretty common problem in classroom presentations (certainly one I'm guilty of): Pimping something you like, rather than researching the material.
Most of that video was dedicated to how awesome MLP:FIM is, but very little of it was actually focused on the 'evolution of the product line'.
In fact, I don't remember him mentioning the earlier shows at all, which were just as important to the product line considering that they're the principal marketing tool. There was just a timeline and a few short slides before it cut away to 'check out how awesome this show is guise!' To be honest I was a little disappointed. - September 23, 2011 at 3:32 PM
- Vintage VCR said...
@DietBakingSoda I'm sorry, I felt that way too, but at 3:00 AM I just couldn't be bothered to get a bunch of pics and write about like 5 more versions. I'm sorry you were disappointed, we can't all be Physics Brony, and I'm not being sarcastic. :)
- September 23, 2011 at 3:35 PM
- DietBakingSoda said...
@Vintage VCR Neh, don't worry 'bout it. Sheeeeit, I did a presentation on 'the History of Metal' that was basically 2 minutes of 'Blues, blah blah, 60s rock, pencil holes in amplifiers, Black Sabbath, blah blah' and the rest of it was 'OMG GUISE CHECK OUT HOW AWESOME IN FLAMES AND THE HAUNTED ARE!!11!'. We ALL do that, but at least you got internet fame. for it.
Actually, come to think of it, I did that presentation twice, since I didn't feel like doing identical projects in different classes, so... - September 23, 2011 at 3:39 PM
- ladymoondancer said...
@VintageVCR No problem. :) Here a video of Bonnie Zacherle at the 2008 MLP Fair showing two of her prototype ponies in realistic horse colors--one black and one tan and brown. At the 2:00 mark she says, "Why shouldn't boys play with ponies too?"
So there you go, bronies. Validation straight from the original MLP creator's mouth. :) - September 23, 2011 at 3:47 PM
- PhysicallyPossible said...
@Vintage VCR
AWESOME presentation man!
Anyways jesus where are all my south texas bronies?? I mean I converted my doubles partner in tennis...BUT THAT'S IT D: - September 23, 2011 at 3:50 PM

Great Presentation dude, +1 for Being an awesome brony, +1 again for having the courage to do that *I never would*
*Brohoof* - September 23, 2011 at 3:52 PM
- tyler said...
I really wish I had the guts to do this. I'm ashamed of being a brony, it's just that I get really nervous doing presentations. Making it about ponies would just add to the nervousness.

- RHJunior said...
1)he tends towards the "sing song" cadence you hear in most amateur presentations. It's something you have to watch out for because it makes you sound bored with the topic you're addressing, and can engender sympathetic boredom
in the audience.
2)He spends too little time on the given topic--
the design evolution of the toys-- and too much
on the cartoon show and especially the fandom.
If he wanted to discuss the show he should have
spoken on the attributes of ALL the show's generations, and only mentioned the "brony" fandom as a side-point for discussing the G-4
3)he tends toward generalities in his
language-- "lots more" hits, "it goes way up,"
etc.-- when he has a detailed graph in front
of the audience.
I may be biased toward the topic, but I'm
thinking I would have given him a B- or C+
on his presentation. - September 23, 2011 at 6:20 PM
- Timer Rabbit said...
Ooh what an interesting presentation! (And also giving a speed history on older-gens!)
- September 23, 2011 at 6:25 PM
- 80PercentBrony said...
Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with you on those points. I was writing a similar critique but you beat me to it. Mine was a little less blunt, though, so I'm glad you wrote yours first. - September 23, 2011 at 9:09 PM
- Blue Cord Dragoon said...
Good job on the presentation, that said, I need to make a point. I think you underestimate the cultural awareness of girls ages 6-16. I'm pretty sure they know what an iPhone is, as well as listen to Katy Perry.
Still, you got some chutzpah to give a lecture on MLP to your class.
"The number one fear in America is public speaking, number two is death. So if you kill a guy before he gives a big speech, you're technically doing him a favor. - September 23, 2011 at 11:08 PM

I really really love the brony/pony presentations that pop up. Please please PLEASE keep doing things like this and filming it. It's wonderful.

Abilene Postal Workers Protest Proposed USPS Cuts
By: Jessica Reyes
Updated: April 12, 2012
Postal employees met all over the country Thursday as part of an organized day of action to oppose Senate Bill 1789.
"If this bill passes, it's going to destroy the Postal Service and dismantle it," said Ron Eudy, an Abilene mail carrier.
According to the National Association of Letter Carriers, the bill would end Saturday and door-to-door mail delivery within two years. If the bill passes, letter carriers all over the country fear they could lose their jobs.
"We want a Postal Service here for many many years in the future," Eudy said.
The Postal Service issued a news release Wednesday saying they plan to continue working with Congress to reform and improve the Postal Service business model.

Great NZ SB taste in a sparkling wine. Not normally a fan of sparkling wine but this is wonderfully different.

Report this review
great value at the price and ideal on a barmy summer evening as the sun sets.
Underrated in other reviews, I find this delightful! Prosecco tends to be a bit too light & floral sweet for me, but this excellently balanced dry gooseberry is a great Summery alternative to Champagne that is drier but still fruit-filled compared to Prosecco. I do love NZ Sauvignon's Cox's apples though so palate is on the dry-side! We also tasted against Lindauer & found this a touch less earthy. My sparkling for 2012.
"An effervescent mousse and those classical New Zealand Sauvignon flavours of gooseberry and elderflower make this a great party sparkler and a fantastic alternative to Prosecco."
Keep up to date with top offers and new arrivals, you could win £100 worth of wine!

'Shadows' a dark delight
Nailing it: Johnny Depp as vampire Barnabas Collins in "Dark Shadows."
Updated: May 10, 2012 12:02PM
More than ever, Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins in Tim Burton's thoroughly enjoyable "Dark Shadows" makes it seem swingin' to be a vampire.
That's not surprising, of course. Depp made pirating seem hip in the "Pirates of the Caribbean " films and for many of the same reasons. Like Captain Jack Black, Depp's Barnabas is, above all, frequently funny: He's bemused, occasionally baffled by the surreal strangeness of what's going on around him (though in this case, the vampire is less ruffled by witches, werewolves and the like than by '70s flotsam such as lava lamps, troll dolls and Alice Cooper), but always master of the situation — no matter how absurd.
Also like pirate Capt. Jack Black, Depp's Barnabas has all the cool cachet of a villain, without seeming particularly ... villainous. In fact, he's downright likable, though you could be excused for buttoning up your collar when he's nearby. In fact, let's just get it over with and state the bloody obvious, as it were: He's the somewhat questionable but nonetheless undeniable hero.
That was the secret of the success of "Dark Shadows," the daytime gothic-romance soap opera that aired on ABC-TV from 1966 to 1971 and intrigued viewers six months in by introducing ghosts into the mix — then intrigued them further with the introduction of vampire Barnabas (played by instant sensation Jonathan Frid). And the subsequent introduction of zombies, the afore-mentioned werewolves and witches, time-travel, man-made monsters and pretty much anything else that might have seemed outrageous at the time.
Depp, apparently, was a major fan of "Dark Shadows" as a boy and, in fact, wanted to be Barnabas Collins when he grew up. And it's not surprising that his dream has come true, given his longtime creative partnership with director Tim Burton, an equally passionate devotee of the strange and macabre. ("Edward Scissorhands," their first collaboration, all the way back in 1990, involved Burton 's early idol, vintage horror star Vincent Price.) It's just a very nice thing for anyone who enjoys the same sort of exotic fare that they did. Burton's "Dark Shadows" (featuring a frequently witty script "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" author Seth Grahame-Smith, also reportedly at work on "Beetlejuice 2") neatly distills most of the major plot points of the original series, while maintaining its rich, gothic atmosphere (no one does gothic better than Burton)—as well as its occasionally campy tone of daytime TV melodrama. Best of all, the entire production is suffused with the sense that everyone involved had a rare good time making it.
Particularly Depp (whose vampire stylings, by the way, owe as much to Max Schreck in the 1922 "Nosferatu" as Frid), who begins the film by being turned into a vampire and buried alive for 200 years by the servant girl/witch Angelique (Eva Green, wonderfully evil), whose love he spurned in favor of his true love Josette (Australian actress Bella Heathcote). After being dug up by a construction crew in 1972 (and draining them like a famished frat boy at a keg party), the very-much out of time and out of place Barnabas returns to the ruins of his mansion for a reunion with the dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family. As it happens, that calls for an all-female cast, for the most part and Burton has assembled a distaff dream team, featuring his wife (and second-most-welcome collaborator), Helena Bonham Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer and young Chloe Grace Moretz (of "Hugo" and, more to the point, the comic book semi-parody "Kick-Ass" ).
There's also a mysterious young governess named Victoria in residence (also played by Heathcote), who looks a great deal like Josette (who was hexed into a lovers-leap suicide by Angelique, back in the day) and re-awakens the pain of lost love in the heart of Barnabas. Oh, and Angelique reappears as well, as the latest in a line of witchy incarnations determined to destroy the Collins family.
Undying love, undying hate, family honor, black magic, chaste romance, unholy lust, vampirism, lycanthropy, drug-addled hippies and proto-feminism, "Dark Shadows" tosses a wealth of rich elements into its witches brew and manages to conjure consistent hilarity—and somehow, when we're least expecting it, occasional moments of deep emotion.
The story drags on a bit too long, perhaps, and it concludes in a way that's not entirely satisfying (though there's spectacle and drama to spare in the climactic supernatural showdown), but that probably has something to do with Depp and Burton just not wanting the fun to end.
It's hard to blame them.

"It was alright"
We stayed in a King Bedroom with a fireplace and hot tub. Nothing really special about the room. Like my husband said it's a cheap hotel with a hot tub in the room. There was a hair in the hot tub when we first came into the room and that was kind of gross. Upon checkout the lady was on the phone at the front desk and when I came up was kind of short […] with me. When the other person on the other end asked who was on the phone she said "Just a customer" and proceeded to talk on the phone for a couple more minutes. I thought that was kind of rude. The location was convenient though. Just south of Portland which is where we were spending most of our time. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

The pillows smelled, the door to our room looked like someone had try to kick it in, you could see through the door lock framing to outside, the carpet was old, framing in the room was old and scratched up, blankets and comforter I didn't even want to use, hard boiled eggs at breakfast you saw people just throwing them away, dog potty area was hard […] to walk through for there was so much poop everywhere. They apologized at the desk when I told them and the lady before me who had stayed in 214 was giving her long list of fixes that needed to be done to the room and said the room smelled horrible.

"convenient to must-see sights, but bare minimum"
We initially got on the wrong side of 97th while arriving very late at night. We had been driving for five hours and were tired and just wanted to find our hotel and go to sleep, so the fact that the hotel staff was so pleasant and told us not to worry, that he'd hold our reservation, was just what I needed to hear. He was also incredibly understanding […] and helpful at guiding us back on track so we could find our hotel. The hotel was in a very convenient location for making business trips between Hillsboro, Tigard, Gresham, and Downtown Portland and located next to a fun German Restaurant. However, being right next to I-5 made it noisy, and we did't find the bedding very comfortable, so we unfortunately ended up feeling unrested for several nights in a row. In addition, for even the great price I had hoped that there would be a refrigerator in our room, so that was a disappointment as well. Overall, we would probably look for another hotel next time we come to Portland, to ensure that we get some decent rest. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Bum Hotel!"
i thought the stay was average at best. The first morning of Breakfast, Saturday, it appeared that a homeless vagabond had taken up court in the dining area to enjoy a free meal. Later that night, there was a transient digging through the garbage in the laundry room. Finally, Sunday morning at the pool, it appeared that a predatory house-less person […] was lounging pool side and hitting himself with a hairbrush. Very classy. The motel itself was in some sort of disrepair, with stains on the carpet in our room, cigarette burns on our sheets, and paint that didn't match on the exterior of the rooms.

"Typical hotel with GREAT staff."
Clackamas HoJo (Sunnyside Inn on the sign) was your typical hotel. Staff was very friendly. The only time you interacted with them is when you checked in or if you needed their services (just like you'd want it) The major things that stand about the Clackamas Howard Johnson are: 1.) Right across the highway from Clackamas Town Center (which means its […] just minutes from shopping and endless restaurants) 2.) Only 10-15 min away from the city (Portland) 3.) If you are not wanting to travel less than a few feet away from your hotel room door for food there is Gustav's (German food) or if you needed some extra room amenities their is a 76 station only a few yards away. 4. Pet Friendly! All in all. Your typical hotel. Friendly staff. Pet friendly. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

They only give you three mini pillows and most of all, if you have dogs, they have a dog area but it is ABSOLUTELY disgusting. Poop is everywhere. You can't take a step without stepping in it. People are supposed to clean up after their pets but they obviously don't and the hotel allowing the pet area to get so disgusting only leads to even more people […] not cleaning up after there pets. It was really so gross, it was unsanitary. Our dogs didn't even want to leave the sidewalk there was so much dog poop everywhere. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

"Great hotel for the price and location."
Great location, not far from the activities we had planned and lots of choices for places to eat. The pool area was clean and in good condition. The rooms were nothing special, but all we needed was a place to stay and it was perfect, especially for the rate we got! The girls at the front desk were helpful, the breakfast was not that great and the neighborhood […] was a lot better than a lot of others in Portland. The only complaint I have is with Expedia. We specifically wrote, in the special request box, that we wanted a microwave and fridge included in our room and Expedia apparently did not pass along that information. (This has actually happened twice now) I would recommend this hotel if you're looking for something inexpenisive, clean and very basic. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Great ;location for mall shopping"
The location by Clackamas Mall and Clackamas Promenade was excellent. There were also good restaurants at the two mall locations which are across the street from each other. The room was adequate as it is very noisy next to the freeway and the noise woke us early each morning, The mattresses are new and good to sleep on but the pillows are small and […] very high and not too comfortable. Regular bed pillows would be better. There is no door to the bathroom just one for the toilet so that was awkward with one teenaged boy and one teenaged girl in the same room. We were given lots of towels when needed and there was no problem getting extra toiletries from the front desk. Breakfast was good - hard boiled eggs, cereals, waffles, pastries, breads, fruit and a variety of drinks. Our children used the pool and liked it. We would stay there again because of the location and we found the staff to be friendly and helpful. Two unpleasant events were being sent to a room that had not been cleaned and it really had been left in a mess. There were also a couple of people hanging around the lobby waiting for a taxi and they were not staying at the hotel and didn't give us a comfortable feeling.

HOward Johnson's was selected for its proxim ity to a convention. It was east to find and had easy access. The staff was courteous and helpful. The room was clean.

Seems the dog was the cleanest part of the […] property. How hard can it be for you to maintain a visible place like yours? You should be embarrassed. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

""Not Impressed""
I did not like this motel when it was a "Best Western",but thought we would give it a try as "Howard Johnson". Seems like the only thing that has changed is "The Name". It started with having to wait to be checked-in (15 min.) because the person in front of me did not have enough gift cards to pay for the room. There were no other guest waiting and […] there was 2 front desk clerks on duty. The rooms were equivalent to "Motel 6". There continental breakfast was sorely lacking. They did not even have hot water for thier packaged cocoa. The location is nice, but I will opt to pay a higher fee or drive a little further ,than have to stay here again.

"Clean, affordable lodging"
Clean, affordable room, well maintained facility. Continental breakfast has minimal selection with no fresh fruit, but with savings over other lodging choices in the vicinity you can go out to breakfast and keep some change.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"good hotel"
very good, only thing was shower could of been a little cleaner we will definetly go bak againUlasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Excellent choice"
This was a very pleasant stay. The breakfast room was clean and well stocked. The desk clerk was very helpful and pleasant. The price was right and the services were very good.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
I chose this hotel because it was very economical - so I wasn't expecting the Ritz. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The first room we checked in to was grungy and smelled of smoke, even though it is a non-smoking hotel. The carpet was buckled and the bathroom tile damaged. They switched us to another room right away and it was fine - although […] the vanity lights were bare flourescent bulbs. There is quite a bit of freeway noise. The breakfast was all carbs - the make it yourself waffles were good. If you're ok with Motel 6, you'll probably be OK with this hotel. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

It is right off the freeway. Quite loud at the pool. There is very little traffic noise in the room. Free breakfast was good. Staff was very helpful with local area directions.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia
"Pretty Good"
Very long wait to get into my room with no where to go. I also got locked out of my room for 1/2 hour becuase none of the keys worked - not even the master key - which caused a delay in me getting ready to go to the weddingUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

Clean enough. Dog area was un tidy, previous guests must not have signed the sheet promising to pick up aftr their pet. Pet area fence had some huge gaps, so i kept my dog on a leash. My bigger problem was that all the ice machines except the main office one were broken/empty. The soda machi.e was also misleading. Labeled for vitaminwater but only full […] of soda.

Portland is always a great place to ride a bike. Every year on the second Sunday of August, Portland becomes the best place to bike.
This year's Providence Bridge Pedal is held Sunday, Aug. 11. On this one morning of the year, Portland's Willamette River bridges welcome thousands of cyclists and walkers – from the Sellwood to the St. Johns, including the top decks of the Fremont and Marquam bridges.
With ride options that range from 3 to 36 miles, as well as a 5-mile walk, there's something for everyone. Join in the celebration of Portland, the Willamette River bridges and cycling.
Health and wellness expo
At Providence Bridge Pedal, be sure to stay in the loop to make the most of your ride – and your health.
Give your body a boost with good eats, entertainment and a host of healthy vendors to keep your wheels turning long after Bridge Pedal. While you're at JELD-WEN Field, be sure to check out Providence Sports Care Center, an innovative 12,000-square-foot sports rehabilitation clinic. Open to the public, the clinic is home to the Portland Timbers and Thorns soccer teams.
Fremont Express start
Get up early and go fast! For a special group of cyclists, the Fremont Bridge will open at 6 a.m. You can enjoy coffee, juice, breakfast rolls and sunrise from the top of the Fremont Bridge. At 6:45 a.m., cyclists start biking down I-405 to the Marquam Bridge, traversing 36 miles and 11 bridges – ahead of the pack. This option is limited to 1,500 riders.
Kids Pedal
Providence Bridge Pedal provides this special event for even the youngest cyclists. Kids Pedal is a 3-mile ride across the Hawthorne and Steel bridges. It's designed for children 10 years old and younger. Older riders may participate, but they must accompany a child. The ride is free, but registration is required. Because of restricted capacity on the Eastbank Esplanade, the Kids Pedal is limited to 1,000 riders.
Fun, food … and the finish
The fun and excitement doesn't end at the finish line. The Bite of Oregon, the premier food and music festival in Waterfront Park, takes place during Providence Bridge Pedal weekend. After the ride on Sunday, Aug. 11, Providence Bridge Pedal participants will receive free admission to the Bite. There will be plenty of valet and self-service bike parking available nearby.
Registration limits
To help ensure all Providence Bridge Pedal cyclists have a safe, enjoyable ride, there will be limits this year on the number of participants for each event. This will help minimize congestion on the ride, allowing everybody to complete the ride within the event's time limits (as required by the event's permits). This is the first time Providence Bridge Pedal has limited the number of riders; however, there are generous limits for each of the rides. Registrations are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

You don't hear of too many players getting cut during the season except if there were legal issues, etc. so it makes sense that if the players displayed lack of effort during the year or whatever the reason was, this is time that it is usually done. Coach Brewster is the coach now so I'm sure that is why he made the decision - not Roebuck. So - I think it is really unfair to say that Coach Roebuck lost some of his fire - evidently you didn't go to many games as it looked like he was the same right up to the end. In fact, the picture I saw in the GF Herald tells the story - competitive as ever.

I am just surprised that lazy and/or uninspired players would even get on the team; Roebuck was big on work ethic. And Roebuck had mellowed some over the years, he was more philisophical about losses than he was when he first came to UND. But I think he always cared about work ethic and doing things the right way.

This seems odd if it is the "housecleaning" that was mentioned last week. Don't know too many kids that are coach's kids that are lazy, let alone kids that have both parents as coaches, as well as the mom being one of the most decorated players in UND history. Also don't hear too often about redshirts leaving being "housecleaning". Must be more to it.

I wonder how Brew got her away from Drake - her alma mater. She was Iowa's 4A Player of the Year and Miss BB after her senior season. She then went to Drake and was a three-time All-MVC selection. She was elected into the Iowa HS Hall of Fame a couple of months ago.
After assisting at Drake, it is surprising she would leave "home" to take a similar position at UND. Anyway, congrats to Brew on getting her. You would think she will certainly help with our recruiting efforts in her home state.

Did you know that May is National Pet Month? For this special occasion I thought we would talk about pets, share some interesting facts about our pet based art and of course show off some of our best selling imagery. Oh and before I forget, July is National dog house repairs month.
Lets start off with one of the most famous dogs, "Portrait of Maurice" by Andy Warhol 1976. Warhol was obsessed with fame and produced many pictures of the rich and famous. However, he was never afraid to solicit commissions for portraits and would often suggest that he could create a portrait of a pet, if someone was unwilling to sit for their own portrait. Maurice was the beloved dachshund of Gabrielle Keiller, who bequeathed her art collection to the Modern One in 1995. This was the first painting by Warhol to enter the Gallery's collection. To create this screenprinted image, he worked from Polaroids of Maurice, taken at Keiller's London home.
Now to jump ahead to digital illustrator John W. Golden. With over 80 breeds of cats and dogs set in his whimsical style, I am sure a rendition of your household friend is in there somewhere. Did you know that we offer many of these personalized? Ask your customer service rep about this. John also has a whole array of feathered friends
Where would we be without "The Happiest Dog in the World", Mickey's Pluto. He is most often the companion of Mickey Mouse, although he first appeared as Minnie Mouse's dog Rover in the film The Picnic (1930). Several months had passed between the naming of what was believed to have been the ninth planet, Pluto, on March 24, 1930, and the attachment of that name to the dog character. Venetia Burney (later Venetia Phair), who as an eleven-year-old schoolgirl had suggested the name Pluto for the planet, remarked in 2006: "The name had nothing to do with the Disney cartoon. Mickey Mouse's dog was named after the planet, not the other way around." Although it has been claimed that Disney named the dog after the planet, rather than after the mythical god of the underworld, this has not been verified. Disney animator Ben Sharpsteen said "We thought the name [Rover] was too common, so we had to look for something else. ... We changed it to Pluto the Pup ... but I don't honestly remember why."
One of my favorite pet based pieces is "Happy Cat and Snob Dog" by Romero Britto. With bright colors and a commanding composition this piece has sold extremely well for years and continues to bring a smile to everyone that holds it.
We have over 600 animal based prints, nearly 150 dogs, over 30 cats, even a few monkeys! Something for all animal and pet lovers.

During the last meeting with a problem client on June 9th, he complained that designers don't create designs that are "buildable". Honestly, I don't know from what mental pit he dug out this particular bone to pick. I was hands-on long before I even started designing. That's how I learned to design based on functionality rather than on pure aesthetics alone. (You can have a "pretty" garden that's a maintenance nightmare or select a plant palette that looks great until it starts to grow out into maturity. Oops.) What's more, I don't see a point in creating a garden design that can't be implemented.
This client is a retired general contractor in Sherman Oaks, CA and not a garden or landscape specialist, certainly not a designer by any stretch of the imagination. He wouldn't have contracted my services if he was able to do the design himself. Had I known beforehand that he had burnt through a series of designers over the past ten years and had a disparaging view of them, I wouldn't have worked with him. As a former service provider himself, he knows fool well what it's like to encounter predatory clients who try to pick his brain clean like mental piranhas.
I've run this problematic scenario past other professionals in other design/consultation fields and the conclusion they draw is this: the man's trying to see how much he can get away with. In short, he's behaving like a bully.
I listened carefully to this client, as I do with all design clients. I paid attention to their lifestyle and aesthetics. The client and his wife like curves and to encounter little surprises in the garden that enchant them. I included a lot of edible plants for wildlife since the client and his wife are fond of watching birds and other animals in the garden and I made all the regular access points of the garden easily accessible from the pathways since the couple are in their golden years. Maintenance was going to be relatively easy due to the design.
The couple was so friendly and they were a dream to work with at first. It seemed like a perfect match between what I could offer and what they wanted. The final meeting to review the design went off without a hitch – they were over the moon! I asked if they had any changes they wanted to make to the garden design. They had none and made no other requests for any other renderings. From what I was told, the garden design met their expectations and it had benefits and features that they hadn't even thought to ask for. Because this client and his wife had been so sweet (they had had even invited us over for wine and appetizers and loaned us the DVD of "Dirt: The Movie") and because they were so excited about getting their garden started, I told my client and his wife that I was giving them a complementary bonus – a detailed writeup on the first steps to launching their garden project.
Things suddenly changed after that May 30th meeting for the worse. The first sign of trouble in the first week of June was that the client was trying to pump me for more consultation via e-mail. I gave him a few more relevant and timely tips but it wasn't enough to satisfy him. Truth is, when entitlement mentality is present, even giving everything would not satisfy someone under its thrall. I offered ongoing support and consultation online for a very reasonable monthly fee and he never bothered to respond. Instead, he ignored the offer. The only thing that had changed between the end of May and June was that the client was not able to pump me or my colleague for free expertise. That's what upset him. Rather, he upset himself because he feels entitled to more professional expertise and advice that he has no willingness to pay for.
Another thing that I noticed was that the client was selectively cherry picking through the advice I gave him, choosing to only do the tasks that he wanted to do and what interests him. (He was eager to get started on the garden trellis, even though that should come long after initial site preparation and after the pathway is laid since the trellis was designed to match the shape of the pathway below it.) Never mind that site preparation can make or break a garden. Shoddy preparation means shoddy results, analogous to the computer programming aphorism, "garbage in, garbage out". The last we heard, the client told us that he had stopped doing any site preparation.
For reasons that don't have anything to do with the clarity of the instructions or the quality of the information, the client has shortsightedly refused to follow the detailed directions he has been given that would ensure the long-term success of his garden. Rather than doing what he needs to get the results that he (claims that) he wants, the client confirmed my worse suspicions when he complained on June 9th that he isn't getting the full specs he wants, i.e. specifications for the trellis materials and curvature; the pond construction materials, equipment details, and how to build the pond from start to finish; permeable pathway layout and installation; CA native and edible plant selection and acquisition; planting locations and optimal spacing, etc.
Unfortunately, he's skipping steps that would make the garden less weedy in the long run, not for lack of good information, but for want of receiving information to his liking that wouldn't require work he would dislike. On top of demanding build out specifications, he also complained that the lack of perspective drawings made building impossible for him.
I don't care what contracting or building service profession you're in, no one will provide full build out specifications for free. NO ONE. If by "buildable" my client means that he hasn't been able to extract any specs from any designer for free, then truly no garden design is buildable according to his expectation. Moreover, no designer will provide extra drawings for free, especially when they weren't requested and paid for. What's worse is that he modified my intellectual property – the design – without permission and against my recommendations. He has complained that the text labels on the plants are no longer there. They are. It's just that he reduced the scale of the drawing to 1/4 of its original size, thus he made the text impossible to read.
This client has managed to dissipate whatever goodwill my colleague and I had towards him through his self-defeating two-faced behavior. His behavior is confusing, foolish, upsetting, and contradictory, to say the least, and his inability to "play well in the sandbox" guarantees poor results in the garden while perpetuating his frustration. It also allows him to rationalize passive aggressive blame for not getting the results he wants although ultimately he is responsible for getting in his own way. Because the client refuses to follow the advice he has already been given, my colleague and I can only interpret his collective choices as lack of interest in and no authentic commitment to the garden's long-term success, sustainability, and integrated function. Permaculture sounds great to him in theory but the real work is apparently distasteful and it doesn't interest him as a dilettante. He wants all the great garden results without possessing the systems thinking to get those results and he wants to enjoy the bounty of the garden without the work. What my colleague and I find fundamentally offensive is that this man believes that he is somehow entitled to much more than the design service that he paid for and received. Add to that the slime factor for friendly overtures made as a pretext for getting what he wanted at our expense. In the end, this client's contempt for my and my colleague's livelihoods as professionals is apparent, as is his lack of respect.

Families spared hikes as councils freeze tax (From The Oxford Times)

Families spared hikes as councils freeze tax
12:00pm Saturday 2nd March 2013 in News By Tom Jennings, covering Witney and West Oxfordshire. Call me on 01865 425403
FAMILIES have been spared further council tax hikes after four district councils agreed to freeze or cut their precepts.
Oxfordshire County Council, Thames Valley Police and Oxford City Council had already decided to raise their precepts by two per cent, but now West Oxfordshire, Vale of White Horse and Cherwell district councils have all decided to freeze their portion of the council tax.
South Oxfordshire District Council has decided to cut its precept by 2.5 per cent.
But district council precepts only make up a small fraction of the council tax bill, with County Hall's stake making by far the largest dent.
West Oxfordshire District Council has decided to freeze council tax for the third year, meaning band D homes will pay £81.63 – the lowest in Oxfordshire.
Simon Hoare, cabinet member for resources, said: "It is fantastic news to have delivered a balanced budget that will deliver first-class services for our local communities.
"We have only been able to do this by reforming how the council operates and continuing to strive for efficiency and savings."
Vale of White Horse District Council has agreed to freeze council tax for the third year, meaning band D residents will pay £116.69 a year.
Council leader Matthew Barber said: "Whereas many councils around the country are really struggling to balance their budgets, the measures that we put in place some time ago have helped to put us in a much more secure position."
Cherwell District Council has frozen its precept for the fourth year at £123.50 for band D properties.
Ken Atack, lead member for financial management, said: "It is great news for Cherwell residents that we have managed to freeze council tax bills for the fourth consecutive year, keeping rates below inflation levels."
But South Oxfordshire District Council has agreed to go further and reduce its precept by 2.5 per cent to £117.62 for band D properties.
David Dodds, cabinet member for finance, said: "Thanks to very careful management of our finances we can continue to make substantial sums available to improve our towns and community facilities across South Oxfordshire, while reducing the amount that residents pay for our first-class services at the same time."
Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford City Council agreed two per cent precept increases while announcing plans to make £51m cuts. County Hall, which has agreed a precept of £1,184.83 for band D properties, has pledged to cut £46m from its budget by 2017 and the city council £5.39m.
The Government capped county, police and district council precept rises at two per cent. Any increase above this requires a referendum.
Many town and parish councils, which are exempt from the Government-set two per cent maximum increase, have also increased their precepts.

TIME ranked the video of Karen Klein third on the list.
The video grabbed worldwide attention as outrage grew over the bullying of the 68-year-old bus monitor.
A fund was started by a Canadian man to help raise money to send Klein on a vacation. That fund grew to nearly $700,000.
Klein has started a foundation to combat bullying.

The Southern Polytechnic State University coaching staff wishes to teach, motivate and help all players reach their potential. At our Basketball Camps we strive to teach every aspect of the game while at the same time teaching campers how to be winners in the "game" of life. Players from all across the Southeastern Region have had the pleasure of attending our Basketball Camps. A typical day at our camps features basketball games, a daily contest, a ball handling session, post moves session, "fundamental of the day session", and chalk talk with Coach Dawkins. Each camper will receive a t-shirt, and a "workout program". Each day will end with a "Thought of the day".
Become a winner!!
Please view our Athletics website and become familiar with the Southern Poly Women's Basketball team and then sign up today for the camp of our choice. Thank you for visiting us. We look forward to seeing you this summer!
