October 28, 2011 Commitment to Service is 'Central' to a Central Penn Education
More than 50 Central Penn College students, faculty and staff from the college's Summerdale, Lancaster and Lehigh Valley locations are demonstrating their commitment to community service by helping to construct a barrier-free playground for children with special needs. On October 31, the Central Penn group will be teaming up with fellow volunteers at Leg Up Farm's community build event. Leg Up Farms, based in Mt. Wolf, Pa., is a therapy center dedicated to improving the lives of children with special needs and their families through an effective combination of therapeutic programs and services, education and advocacy.
As part of an initiative to further demonstrate how students can become contributing members of society, this is the first of several college-supported community service projects where faculty and staff have the opportunity to work side-by-side with students, serving as role models in action.
"Central Penn has always encouraged and promoted community service activities for students, faculty and staff," says Dr. Melissa Vayda, Central Penn College vice president & CAO. "This particular project has attracted an incredible campus-wide response. Leg Up Farm's inspiring cause has touched the hearts of many at Central Penn, especially the physical therapist assistant students, who can apply what they learn at the playground build to their studies."
Part of Central Penn's mission is to prepare its graduates to become contributing members of society. From the fulfillment of service requirements for graduation, to faculty and staff members serving as role models, Central Penn students take responsibility by giving back. Bachelor's degree students must complete 50 hours of service, and associate degree students must complete 25.
"More than just an obligation, community service is an opportunity to learn, grow, give back and gain social skills vital to life," explains Dr. Vayda.
The Leg Up Farm community build project is a seven-day project, scheduled to start October 31 at 8 a.m. and conclude November 6. More than 1,000 volunteers are already signed up, including individuals, organizations, schools, and companies from all over central Pennsylvania. Designed by Play by Design from Ithaca, NY, the playground will be barrier-free for children of all abilities and will include swings, slides, a Sway Fun Glider, climbing wall and more.
Skilled and unskilled workers are still needed to fill three shifts per day: 8 a.m. - 12 p.m., 12:30 - 5 p.m., and 5:30 - 9 p.m. Volunteers 14 years of age and older are welcome. Anyone under the age of 18 must have parental consent. To learn more about the playground build, visit www.legupfarm.org.
Central Penn College
Central Penn College has been helping students turn potential into career success since 1881, offering bachelor's and associate degrees in the fields of accounting, business administration, criminal justice, information technology, communications, digital arts, healthcare, homeland security and legal studies. The college, currently serving students at its Harrisburg, Lancaster and Lehigh Valley locations, attributes its high rate of student success to a caring faculty and its hands-on learning approach. Approximately 83.7 percent of Central Penn graduates are working or continuing their education within one year of graduation. Central Penn College is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, 3624 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104 (267-284-5000).

Raphaël Jacquelin drew on all of his experience to edge a prolonged, record-equaling play-off in the Open de España and claim his first victory on The European Tour for just over two years.
The final round at Parador de El Saler could not separate those in contention as Chile's Felipe Aguilar, Germany's Maximilian Kieffer and Jacquelin required extra holes.
Each produced successive pars on the 18th to begin the three way contest as they continued to cancel each other out, only for Kieffer and Jacquelin to deliver birdies at the third time of asking.
After Aguilar had missed the green, Jacquelin found a brilliant approach while Kieffer could only leave a 30 footer.
Amazingly, the German holed a perfect putt dead weight, meaning Jacquelin's subsequent gain ensured another hole, albeit this time without Aguilar.
Anyone expecting a quick finish thereafter was mistaken as the two battled it out in the joint-longest European Tour play-off since its formation in 1972, matching an effort in the 1989 Dutch Open.
They exchanged pars on a further five holes, efforts that featured generally solid play interspersed with some outstanding up and downs.
However, Jacquelin made the decisive move when playing the 18th for the tenth time today – including on his original round – by hitting a wedge to five feet and holing the subsequent putt; the triumph was his first since winning the 2011 Sicilian Open.
"That is very tiring but I am really, really happy," he said of the play-off which lasted over two hours.
"I could not make any putts (in the play-off) but the last one dropped, which means a lot for me and my family."
He added, jokingly: "There's another baby coming at the end of November; every time I get a baby, there's a win so I'll have a football team after a few years!"
Speaking about the precocious Kieffer, playing his just his tenth European Tour event, Jacquelin said: "He is starting this year very well. He is going to do very well and going to win a lot, I am sure."
It was also a double-coup for the European Tour Properties Network, with Jacquelin the Touring Pro for Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort and Kieffer a representative of Land Fleesensee, both European Tour Destinations.
Marc Warren had appeared in pole position for much of the final day at Valencia, yet bogeyed four of the last five holes to be leapfrogged by Aguilar, Jacquelin and Kieffer – who hit 70, 71 and 71 respectively.
Warren, whose last European Tour victory came at the Johnnie Walker Championship in 2007, was a picture of cool for much of the round - despite having a bad back - as he did just enough to keep his nose in front of the chasing pack.
Initially, it looked like a day of struggle might be in the offing as a dropped shot came on the second, yet he picked up a birdie at the par five next and showed impressive cool with an up and down saving par on five.
He did drop a shot on the next when an eight footer lipped out after his approach had gone through the green, but even then there was little hint of a struggle.
Back to back bogeys at 14 and 15, though, meant he was joined atop the leaderboard by Aguilar, who was sitting pretty in the clubhouse having completed a 70.
Three over for his round and having been caught for the first time, Warren produced a piece of magic on 16.
Having misjudged his approach, he delivered a perfect chip from the greenside bunker that bounced once on its way into the hole.
Even with the boost that provided, Warren could not stay in front as a three-putt on the next left him again level with Aguilar, Jacquelin - who had birdied the last - and Kieffer.
And further disappointment followed for the Scot as he missed out on the play-off after he three-putted again on the last.

What is a Star Party?
Since 1980, thousands of people of all ages have come to the UIS observatory for Friday Night Star Parties, as well as for special astronomical events such as lunar and solar eclipses and comets.
At a typical Star Party, visitors learn about galaxies, the sun, stars,
and stellar evolution, as well as star and constellation identification
prior to using the telescopes. These discussions take place in the stairway
gallery of astronomical pictures on the way to the rooftop observation
deck atop Brookens Library. Then, the observatory director and qualified
volunteers help visitors use each of the telescopes.
Over the years, stargazers have seen many celestial objects, including the moon and planets, deep-sky objects such as the Orion Nebula and other fascinating star systems, the beautiful yellow-blue double star Albireo, and the open star cluster called the Pleiades.
The Astronomy Program also offers Sunday Night Star Parties for the disabled and their friends and families.
How do I get more information?
For general questions about Friday Night Star Parties call 217-206-8342.
What do you do if it is cloudy?
In order to learn if the weather is suitable for viewing, please call 217-206-8342 after 7:00 PM on the night of the Star Party.
Or you can get information on when the observatory is open from our twitter feed.
Is there elevator access to the Campus Observatory for a Friday Night Star Parties?
No. Not during a Friday Night Star Party. Visitors to a Friday Night Star Party must be able to climb up and down four flights of stairs AND climb a short 5 ft ladder up to the main telescope dome. If you or a loved one that wants to attend a Star Party has trouble with stairs or ladders you should call 217-206-8342 and ask about our Sunday Night Star Parties for people with disabilities. Those Star Parties are fully accessible and require no stair or ladder climbing.
Where is the UIS Campus Observatory?
The Campus observatory is on the roof of Brookens Library. The door for the observatory is on the southeast corner of the library (side opposite the UIS fountain) and the door is marked "Observatory." You have got to go all the way round the corner to see the observatory door. The observatory is through that door and up five flights of stairs to the roof. We appologize for the deplorable lack of signage. We are working on it. On that map below the library is building #7 and the door for the observatory is on the lower right corner of the outline of the building.

I doubt the 200 mile model is coming this year.
First, it's likely an LG battery that would require a lot of design, engineering etc.
Second, if they had that in the plan - esp a higher priced one, the good time to announce it is now - so that people don't jump ship and buy a Bolt.
Anyone buying a Leaf now don't care about 200 mile $37k car - so the announcement won't eat into MY17 sales, anyway.

Hello all,
Here comes a new tool which should please most of you
This is the end of thefts, scams, etc. Well, that's our hope with this new secured trade system.
How to use it? It's very simple.
To create a secure trade with a player, go on his/her profile and find the «Create a secure trad» option.
You'll be redirected on a page with nearly the same interface as the collection pro. There, it will be possible to add character OR clintz. Once validated, your proposal will be sent to the player and it will be his/her turn to select characters/clintz. And then you'll have to confirm the trade if you agree with it.
It is possible to change the trade but after each change, the new proposal will have to be validated by the player.
Beware! If you have a big collection the tool might be slower than the collection pro. We have tested it and it's quite efficient but we won't hesitate to improve it if necessary.
We hope you'll like it.
Have fun!

North Carolina High School Athletic Association
The North Carolina High School Athletic Association, which traces its origin to 1913, is a voluntary nonprofit corporation that administers the state's interscholastic athletic program. Any public or nonboarding parochial high school in the state is eligible for membership, provided it is accredited by the state Department of Public Instruction and as long as the school adopts and maintains a prescribed code designed to guarantee wholesome athletic competition. Each of the more than 300 member schools has pledged to put the best interests of the student athletes above any other athletic purpose.
In 1913 University of North Carolina librarian-professor Louis Round Wilson spearheaded the founding of a state high school athletic association as a part of the university's Extension Division, of which he was director. The first statewide high school athletic contest-a track meet at UNC on 11 Apr. 1913-was conducted by the Greater Council, a UNCstudent organization composed of the president of the student body, class presidents, and other student leaders. As a result of this track meet, the General Alumni Athletic Association of UNC, seeing the possibilities of conducting a statewide program of interscholastic high school athletics, appointed a committee on high school athletics (part of the Extension Division), which until 1924 exercised general supervision of the various championship contests.
The athletic association, which has offices in Chapel Hill, recognizes athletic activities as an integral part of a child's educational experience. By uniting in a cooperative manner, member schools are better able to promote the growth of interscholastic athletics, to maintain a high and uniform standard for all high school sports activities, to enact as well as enforce rules and practices that afford equitable competition, and to protect the athletes from exploitation by special interests whose purpose is not educational in nature. Other services rendered by the organization include certifying the eligibility of more than 90,000 students in various sports; providing catastrophe insurance coverage for athletes, cheerleaders, managers, and coaches; maintaining financial records and distributing funds to the schools; investigating incidents of unsportsmanlike conduct and levying prescribed penalties as appropriate; recruiting, organizing, and training game officials; and working with the news media and the public to promote interscholastic athletics.

|The world's largest
shell, an object from
the HMNS collection that
is currently on display.

This is the time of year when we're all thinking about what we're giving to friends and family. Especially this year, when most of us are being more thoughtful about what it is we're giving. Since my job duties entail the registration and processing of donations to the museum's collections, I encounter gift giving all year long. But especially at the end of the year and this month has kept me busy! Currently, I'm plowing through recent donations of things as varied as Amazonian spears to a swan specimen to Native American pueblo pottery. All of these donations will enhance our collections and all of us in the Collections Department are most appreciative of our generous donors.
However, these are the most recent acquisitions. The Houston Museum of Natural Science wouldn't be where it is today without nearly a century of far-sighted people who generously and intelligently gave entire collections of natural specimens and cultural artifacts. They entrusted things they had collected with passion and zeal to a museum that was just beginning to grow so that Houstonians could learn about the natural world around them. In the coming year of 2009, as the museum celebrates its centennial, you'll hear more about the names of Attwater, Westheimer, Milsaps, McDannald but their generosity was the foundation of the museum's collections.

HMNS collection.

And that's what it takes – generosity. I wonder what our past donors would think of today's natural history auction market? Fossils and minerals can fetch exorbitant prices, far more than most museums can ever pay. Would those long ago donors who thought so highly of museums as institutions for the public approve of specimens and artifacts staying in the private hands of the highest bidder? After all, these early naturalists, amateur and professional, were often wealthy and acute businessmen themselves. But they did give and the museum has been fortunate that that kind of generosity has prevailed for a century. Indeed, it continues today and our collections continue to grow.
So, I'll continue to measure and count amazing artifacts and specimens and make sure each donor is properly acknowledged. It's just my small part in witnessing how the thoughtful generosity of our donors makes the museum a better place for us all.

Recent Releases
Kwame Alexander with Mary Rand Hess
Novel in Verse. As the son of a rock star who's notorious for his addictions, 17-year-old Blade Morrison's privilege has always been shadowed by his dad's neglect and unreliability. Still, Blade's own music provides him with a creative outlet -- or it used to, until a shocking family secret upended his life and sent him on a journey from California to Ghana in search of answers. Combining Blade's authentic first-person voice with his original lyrics and references to classic rock, this novel in verse is a "rhythmic, impassioned ode to family, identity, and the history of rock and roll" (
The Special Ones
Em Bailey
Thriller. He is watching. He doesn't have a name, yet Esther and the other Special Ones know that his cameras monitor their every move. Even though they live on an isolated, old-fashioned farm, the Special Ones' job is to offer spiritual guidance to his internet cult followers -- and failure to do so could result in any of them being "renewed" and never seen again. Oozing suspense and claustrophobic dread, this tale of brainwashing, complicity, and survival is a must-read for fans of provocative thrillers such as Stephanie Oakes'
The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly
or Kevin Brooks'
The Bunker Diaries.
Little & Lion
Brandy Colbert
Fiction. After a year at boarding school, Suzette is back in Los Angeles to spend the summer with her close, multiracial family. She's especially hoping to renew her bond with her brother Lionel, who has bipolar disorder. That hope is tested, however, when Lionel asks her to keep an uneasy secret. Developing a crush on the girl that Lionel likes doesn't make things any easier, especially since Suzette is also attracted to her old friend Emil and is still coping with the fallout from a romance with her roommate. An inclusive supporting cast underscores Suzette's intersecting identities and realistically messy emotions in this character-driven story about love and loyalty.
Spellbook of the Lost and Found
Moïra Fowley-Doyle
Magical Realism. A battered, handwritten spellbook presents an irresistible temptation in this atmospheric and slightly supernatural read. Following the May bonfire in the Irish town of Balmallen, several teens notice missing items. Some of the lost things are material, such as the diaries of Laurel and her friends; others are more intangible, such as a mother's love or a friend's safety. The spell seems like a solution, but the price of restoring what was lost may be more than the spell's casters can bear. Though the story's multiple narrators might be perplexing at first, patient readers will be rewarded by the elegant twist that brings their storylines together.
What Goes Up
Katie Kennedy
Science Fiction. When NASA begins recruiting teens for their top-secret Interworlds Agency, Rosa Hayashi and Eddie Toivonen are both eager to apply. Highly educated and scientific, Rosa is perfect NASA material, while Eddie (who's running from his abusive dad) is a more unconventional choice. After some fierce competition and "no small amount of snarky banter" (
Publishers Weekly
), Rosa and Eddie both make the cut -- and their first assignment arrives sooner than expected in the form of some unfriendly extraterrestrial visitors. If you love humor and rocket science in equal measure, you won't want to miss
What Goes Up
Love Triangles
Though love triangles often provoke strong reactions (you either love 'em or hate 'em), they come in lots of different flavors. The books below offer just a small sampling -- for a wider variety of love triangles, keep an eye out for
Three Sides of a Heart
, edited by Natalie C. Parker and on shelves in December 2017.
The Wrath & the Dawn
Renée Ahdieh
Fantasy. When Shahrzad marries Khalid, the Caliph of Khorasan, she has only revenge on her mind. Her best friend was one of the many brides that the caliph has killed, and Shazi plans to take him down, even if it means abandoning Tariq, her betrothed. Yet after the wedding, Shazi finds herself strangely drawn to Khalid, and even as Tariq plots to storm the palace, her feelings for Khalid grow, leading to a high-stakes love triangle and a high-drama cliffhanger ending (resolved in the sequel,
The Rose & the Dagger
). For another lush fantasy inspired by Middle Eastern folk tales, pick up E.K. Johnston's
A Thousand Nights
To All the Boys I've Loved Before
Jenny Han
Fiction. The letters were never supposed to be sent. For awkward 16-year-old Lara Jean, writing secret love letters to help herself get over her crushes was just another hobby, like knitting or scrapbooking. So when the letters are accidentally mailed, Lara Jean freaks out. Embarrassed by her letter to her sister's ex-boyfriend, Josh, Lara Jean denies her feelings for him by pretending to date Peter, one of her other former crushes. Things only get messier from there. With memorable characters and realistically complicated relationships (especially among Lara Jean's tight-knit Korean-American family) this series opener is a charmer.
Catching Jordan
Miranda Kenneally
Fiction. Jordan Woods may come from a family of high-profile football players, but she's worked harder than any guy to earn her spot as quarterback of her school football team. Now, with the state championship in sight, Jordan is suddenly sidetracked by personal drama: she's attracted to Ty, who's competing for her position on the team, but her best friend Henry has confessed that he's in love with her. Similar to Catherine Gilbert Murdock's
Dairy Queen,
this 1st book in the Hundred Oaks series portrays a relatable female athlete trying to balance her life both on and off the field.
Malinda Lo
Science Fiction. It's not exactly a typical setup for a love triangle: Reese and her boyfriend David share unusual abilities after being injected with alien DNA, yet Reese still feels a strong connection to her ex-girlfriend Amber, who turned out to
an alien. In fact, all of humanity has just learned about the presence of aliens on Earth, a revelation that forces Reese, David, and Amber into the center of a wide-reaching conspiracy. Though you'll need to start with the previous book,
, to understand this sequel,
will appeal to readers who crave an unconventional approach to both science fiction and romance.
Lola and the Boy Next Door
Stephanie Perkins
Romance. As a costume designer, 17-year-old San Franciscan Lola thinks nothing of expressing herself with loud patterns, wigs, and sequins. Figuring out exactly what she needs to express, however, is a little more challenging. Despite her two dads' disapproval, Lola is happy with her older rock-musician boyfriend, Max...until Cricket Bell, aspiring inventor and Lola's first love, moved back into the house next door, and Lola begins questioning what (and who) she truly wants. Sweet, steamy, and filled with quirky characters,
Lola and the Boy Next Door
is natural choice for fans of Becky Albertalli or Rainbow Rowell.

In the week ended Jan. 31, U.S. exporters sold 168,918 metric tons of corn, down 76 percent from year earlier, Department of Agriculture data showed today. U.S. sales since Sept. 1 are 52 percent behind a year earlier. Grain-based ethanol production has declined, and plants are closing.
"Demand for U.S. corn is weak, whether it's overseas feed buyers or domestic ethanol producers," Chad Henderson, the president of Prime Agricultural Consultants Inc. in Brookfield, Wisconsin, said in a telephone interview. "Buyers will wait for lower prices."
Corn futures for March delivery fell 1.6 percent to close at $7.1075 a bushel at 2 p.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade, the biggest decline for a most-active contract since Dec. 19. The price dropped for the fifth straight session, the longest slump since Dec. 13.
Soybean futures for March delivery fell 0.1 percent to $14.8675 a bushel. Earlier, the price climbed as much as 0.6 percent as China, the biggest consumer, increased purchases from the U.S.
In the week ended Jan. 31, U.S. exporters sold 696,600 tons of soybeans to China for delivery before Aug. 31 and an additional 691,000 tons for the 12 months starting Sept. 1, the USDA said today. U.S. sales of soybean meal since Oct. 1 to all destinations are 43 percent ahead of a year earlier, and soybean oil tripled.
"Chinese purchases of U.S. soybeans were a surprise," Jerry Gidel, the chief feed-grain analyst for Rice Dairy LLC in Chicago, said in a telephone interview. "We are also selling more soybean meal and oil, and that will increase U.S. processor demand" for the oilseed, he said.
Corn is the biggest U.S. crop, valued at $76.5 billion in 2011, followed by soybeans at $35.8 billion, government figures show.

"You still love her don't you?" I ask myself that question every single day.
I was finally able to tell her how I felt and it made me the happiest girl in the world. I was able to tell the person I thought I could fall in love with how I truly felt.
She just didn't feel the same way. She betrayed me. She made me look like a fool and this post is going to be very repetitive of my other posts but I need to say it over and over again so that it will get through to me.
Even when I tell others why we aren't friends anymore I can't find myself truly hating her. When they tell me to kick her out of my house I can't say I will. I should but I can't. I still have feelings for her and I don't want to lose her.
I wish I could just fall in love with someone else. Have them love me back and help me move on. Oh wait. I tried that last time. It worked and I ended up breaking someone's heart. I don't drink my sorrows away and I don't have sloppy make out sessions with anyone. I like to think that I take relationships seriously, that when you do ask someone to be yours you already trust them and you will find any way to fall in love with them and stay in love. Love. A word that's thrown around. It has no meaning anymore.
If I really did love her. I would move past all of this and just be her friend. Right?
I wanted her to be the arrow and I be the target. Not the other way around. Guys have chosen her and she said yes. I wanted her to ask me so that I know she wants me and she will fight for me. Is that so much to ask for?
I guess it was. I say that because any person who ever did love me at one point in life wouldn't have treated me the way they did. The deal breaker for all of this? SHE MADE ME TELL HER BOYFRIEND THAT I LIKED HER! I didn't know he was her boyfriend at the time. Looking back on that day. I shouldn't love her anymore.
But I do.

January's Cocktail (aka Santa's Little Enabler)/
January can put me in a certain mood, a dicey mix of contemplative and bored (for which booze is probably never a good chaser, but anyway). Since nothing happens in January, my mind's left to dwell on December's heedless indulgences and... well, let me start from the beginning.
When I originally made this cocktail for a friend's holiday party two years ago, it was the first time I'd written a recipe entirely in my head. In fact, I don't think I'd even tasted Absolut Kurant before I thought to put it in this drink. A chef I interviewed years prior told me he subscribed to a "that sounds great" philosophy of dish-inventing, that if your tongue relishes articulating "coriander encrusted mahi mahi" or "sweet potato fries dipped in banana-guava ketchup" then it'll probably enjoy eating those things, too. So, having just moved back to New York and with no money to spare on cocktail experimentin', my party drink came together hypothetically. I wanted it to taste like ice skating on a frozen pond. I pictured Charlie Brown's friends catching snowflakes on their tongues. ("It's fun!")
The cocktail, which I then called Santa's Little Enabler, went over very well and it's probably the one I'm still proudest of, but it wasn't until a few nights ago that I ever mixed one up again. This might be because it's on the complicated side (making it en masse at the party meant never leaving the kitchen). It may be due to my dithering over whether the drink would be as good as I remembered. Or maybe it's because I'm no longer friends with the friend I made it for. There's not much to say about that, except it's the kind of thing I think about in times like January.
Revisiting Santa's Little Enabler, I found it too sweet. How shoddy of character must I be to let myself get away with sipping on a too-sweet cocktail that harks back to a former best friend... in January, no less? This wouldn't do. The drink needed something -- or rather, I did -- that bestowed a little more gravitas. Santa's Little Enabler was for partying; January's Cocktail needed to be for... OK, not penance, but you get the idea. You get the idea especially when I tell you that I swapped out the ginger ale topper for tea.
Both iterations of this recipe have produced similar, and I admit satisfying, results. I get great compliments and impassioned descriptives from people who try it. It carries a can't-quite-put-my-finger-on-it appeal, tasting like no one of its ingredients, neither at the front nor on the finish, but also not tasting like an out-of-tune quintet of disparate flavors. Unique and uniform, I guess. I might even call it kind of kooky -- where the hell did I come up with the pink grapefruit juice? -- yet to my mind, this recipe makes perfect sense. It puts my mind at ease, is what I might be trying to say. Which is what January most certainly calls for.
January's Cocktail
2 ounces Absolut Kurant
¾ ounces Licor 43
A splash of butterscotch Schnapps
2 ounces freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice
1 ¼ ounces peppermint tea
2 tsp. raw egg white
(alternate) Splash of ginger ale
Confectioner's sugar, for the rim
Rim your cocktail glass with confectioner's sugar and set aside.
Pour the Absolut, Licor 43, Schnapps and egg white into a cocktail shaker. Cap and shake vigorously for about a minute.
Add grapefruit juice and peppermint tea into shaker, fill with ice, cap and shake again for another minute. Strain into cocktail glass.
Alternatively, do your second shake with the grapefruit juice but without the tea. Strain contents of shaker into cocktail glass and then top with a splash of ginger ale.

Apple (AAPL) has added hi-def movie purchases and rentals to its iTunes store. Previously, it only offered HD movies via its Apple TV set-top box, or HD TV shows via its iTunes store. It's been popular: Apple says more than 50% of TV programs have been downloaded in HD, when available.
HD movie selection is limited: Of the top 50 iTunes movie purchases, we could only find 5 that were available for purchase (or pre-order) in HD.
Rentals will cost $4.99 and HD downloads will cost $19.99.
We don't expect this to make a significant impact on Apple's business, but it makes the new iMac a more attractive bedroom TV, and could make the new Mac mini a more attractive set-top box, which could help Apple sell a few more units.
Apple's movie streaming rivals include Amazon (AMZN) and Netflix (NFLX). Netflix offers HD streaming to some devices, but doesn't offer streams of new releases -- where iTunes shines.
We're excited about movie services like iTunes, but we think digital movie rentals are still the cable industry's game to lose.

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst's campaign released a web video Monday using the familiar Pac Man arcade game, with a Texas twist, to target his runoff opponent and former Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz.
The one-minute web ad features a Cruz avatar, rather than the traditional "Pac Man" character, chomping down on campaign contributions from political action committees based in Washington D.C., including Club for Growth, Freedom Works and the Senate Conservatives Fund PAC.
"Game Over" appears on the screen after Cruz's avatar is stopped by a Texas symbol, rather than a ghost, the traditional villain in the 1980's video game.
Dewhurst's first attack video of the runoff election targets Cruz for receiving money from D.C. super PAC's, a narrative that has been highlighted by Dewhurst's campaign to label Cruz as a "Washington Insider."
Cruz has countered similar attacks in the past by pointing to the large number of small donations from Texans.
Both candidates have been aided by millions from PAC's. Dewhurst has received the most support from the Texas-based PAC Texas Conservatives Fund, led by Rob Johnson, a former campaign manager for Gov. Rick Perry.

When it comes to playing in water, kids aren't usually interested in slowing down to dry off, no matter how much their teeth start to chatter. So, whether it's a day at the beach or an afternoon of running through the sprinkler, keep your little ones snug with this cozy beach towel poncho tutorial from Make It and Love It!
These are great for the beach and the pool but would be perfect as bath towels too. They won't shift or slide off while those little freshly bathed bodies are drying.
I'm definitely digging the stripes! Now, to find towels large enough to make a grownup version…

Maloti-Drakensberg Park
Maloti-Drakensberg Park
The Maloti-Drakensberg Park is a transboundary site composed of the uKhahlamba Drakensberg National Park in South Africa and the Sehlathebe National Park in Lesotho. The site has exceptional natural beauty in its soaring basaltic buttresses, incisive dramatic cutbacks, and golden sandstone ramparts as well as visually spectacular sculptured arches, caves, cliffs, pillars and rock pools. The site's diversity of habitats protects a high level of endemic and globally important plants. The site harbors endangered species such as the Cape vulture (Gyps coprotheres) and the bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus). Lesotho's Sehlabathebe National Park also harbors the Maloti minnow (Pseudobarbus quathlambae), a critically endangered fish species only found in this park. This spectacular natural site contains many caves and rock-shelters with the largest and most concentrated group of paintings in Africa south of the Sahara. They represent the spiritual life of the San people, who lived in this area over a period of 4,000 years.

Maloti-Drakensberg park
Het Maloti-Drakensberg park is van uitzonderlijke schoonheid met z'n stijgende basaltische steunpilaren, dramatische dieptes, gouden zandsteenwallen, graslanden, steile rivierdalen en rotsachtige kloven. Het park strekt zich uit langs de grens met Lesotho, waardoor het een belangrijk toevluchtsoord is voor meer dan 250 endemische plantensoorten en bijbehorende fauna. Het gebied kent veel grotten en rotsen, met daarin de grootste, meest geconcentreerde groep rotstekeningen in Afrika ten zuiden van de Sahara. De tekeningen werden 4.000 jaar lang gemaakt door het inmiddels uitgestorven volk San. Ze weerspiegelen hun spirituele leven en zijn van uitstekende kwaliteit, divers qua onderwerpen en de manier waarop dieren en mensen worden weergegeven.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The Maloti Drakensberg Transboundary World Heritage Site is a transnational property spanning the border between the Kingdom of Lesotho and the Republic of South Africa. The property comprises Sehlabathebe National Park (6,500ha) in Lesotho and uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park (242,813 ha) in South Africa. Maloti Drakensberg Transboundary World Heritage Site is renowned for its spectacular natural landscape, importance as a haven for many threatened and endemic species, and for its wealth of rock paintings made by the San people over a period of 4000 years. The property covers an area of 249,313 ha making it the largest protected area complex along the Great Escarpment of southern Africa.
The Maloti Drakensberg range of mountains constitutes the principal water production area in Southern Africa. The areas along the international border between the two countries create a drainage divide on the escarpment that forms the watershed for two of southern Africa's largest drainage basins. The Thukela River from uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park flows eastwards into the Indian Ocean. The rivers of southern Maloti Drakensberg including SNP drain into the Senqu/Orange River which flows westwards into the Atlantic Ocean, and extension of the UDP WHS to include SNP will add special hydrologic qualities to the area. The Senqu/Orange River from Sehlabathebe National Park flows westwards into the Atlantic Ocean.
With its pristine steep-sided river valleys and rocky gorges, the property has numerous caves and rock shelters containing an estimated 665 rock art sites, and the number of individual images in those sites probably exceeds 35,000. The images depict animals and human beings, and represent the spiritual life of the San people, representing an exceptionally coherent tradition that embodies their beliefs and cosmology over several millennia. There are also paintings done during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, attributable to Bantu speaking people.
Extending along most of KwaZulu-Natal's south-western border with Lesotho, the property provides a vital refuge for more than 250 endemic plant species and their associated fauna. It also holds almost all of the remaining subalpine and alpine vegetation in KwaZulu-Natal, including extensive high altitude wetlands above 2,750m and is a RAMSAR site. The Park has been identified as an Important Bird Area, and forms a critical part of the Lesotho Highlands Endemic Bird Area.
Criterion (i): The rock art of the Maloti-Drakensberg Park is the largest and most concentrated group of rock paintings in Africa south of the Sahara and is outstanding both in quality and diversity of subject.
Criterion (iii): The San people lived in the mountainous Maloti-Drakensberg area for more than four millennia, leaving behind them a corpus of outstanding rock art, providing a unique testimony which throws much light on their way of life and their beliefs.
Criterion (vii): The site has exceptional natural beauty with soaring basaltic buttresses, incisive dramatic cutbacks and golden sandstone ramparts. Rolling high altitude grasslands, the pristine steep-sided river valleys and rocky gorges also contribute to the beauty of the site.
Criterion (x): The property contains significant natural habitats for in situ conservation of biological diversity. It has outstanding species richness, particularly of plants. It is recognised as a Global Centre of Plant Diversity and endemism, and occurs within its own floristic region – the Drakensberg Alpine Region of South Africa. It is also within a globally important endemic bird area and is notable for the occurrence of a number of globally threatened species, such as the Yellow-breasted Pipit. The diversity of habitats is outstanding, ranging across alpine plateaux, steep rocky slopes and river valleys. These habitats protect a high level of endemic and threatened species.
The uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park, composed of 12 protected areas established between 1903 and 1973 has a long history of effective conservation management. Covering 242,813 ha in area, it is large enough to survive as a natural area and to maintain natural values. It includes 4 proclaimed Wilderness areas almost 50% of the Park, while largely unaffected by human development, the property remains vulnerable to external land uses including agriculture, plantation forestry and ecotourism, although agreements between Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife and local stakeholders have been implemented to manage these threats.
Invasive species and fire also threaten the integrity of the site, along with land claims in certain areas, infrastructural developments, soil erosion caused by fire and tourist impacts on vulnerable alpine trails, and poaching. The lack of formal protection of the mountain ecosystem over the border in Lesotho exacerbates these threats.
Boundary issues highlighted at time of inscription included the gap belonging to the amaNgwane and amaZizi Traditional Council between the northern and much larger southern section of the Park. While planning mechanisms restrict development above the 1,650m contour to maintain ecological integrity, it was recommended that a cooperative agreement between the amaNgwane and amaZizi Traditional Council and Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife be envisaged. Extending conservation areas by agreements with privately-owned land along the escarpment to the south of the property was also recommended. Finally an important step to strengthening integrity has been the development of the Drakensberg Maloti Transfrontier Conservation and Development Area, which has recognised the importance of a Transboundary Peace Park linking the Sehlabathebe National Park (and eventually the contiguous Sehlabathebe and Mokhotlong Range Management Areas) in Lesotho with uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park. Project Coordinating Committees in both KwaZulu-Natal and Lesotho are cooperating in a planning process.
The extension of the area to include SNP (6,500ha) has been protected since 1970 as a wildlife sanctuary and a national park, and gazetted in 2001 to enhance protection of the biodiversity and scenic qualities of the property. This area, added to the UDP World Heritage Site is sufficient to protect the biodiversity and cultural values of the area.
The property contains the main corpus of rock art related to the San in this area. A comparatively high concentration of rock art sites seems present in the western buffer zone in Lesotho and future surveys of these should be undertaking with the surveys for rock art in the Maloti-Drakensberg Park to judge their potential contribution to the Outstanding Universal Value. Although the area has changed relatively little since the caves were inhabited, management practices, the removal of trees (which formerly sheltered the paintings) and the smoke from burning grass both have the capacity to impact adversely on the fragile images of the rock shelters, as does unregulated public access.
The synthesis of rock art sites and their natural setting in Maloti-Drakensberg Park convey a very strong sense of authenticity in setting, location and atmosphere but also material, substance and workmanship. It should be noted as a positive factor that in large parts of the property no systematic conservation or consolidation treatment has been attempted, which has left the rock art sites perhaps more fragile but with the utmost possible degree of authenticity. The sites remain closely integrated with their surrounding landscape and credibly convey the narratives of San life and activity in respect to the harsh climatic conditions of the area and necessary exploitation of natural resources and shelter. Potential influences of UV rays and weathering on the images could lead to fading of colors and reduce the clarity of image content, which in turn that could lessen their ability to display their meaning. It is important that explanatory materials assist the interpretation of the image content as understood by the San people.
Protection and Management requirements
Management of the Park is guided by an Integrated Management Plan with subsidiary plans, and is undertaken in accordance with the World Heritage Convention Act, 1999 (South Africa, Act No. 49 of 1999); National Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act, 2003 (South Africa, Act 57 of 2003); National Environmental Management Biodiversity Act, 2004 (South Africa, Act No 10 of 2004); KwaZulu-Natal Nature Conservation Management Amendment Act (South Africa, No 5 of 1999); the Game Preservation Proclamation (Lesotho, No. 55 of 1951); the Historical Monuments, Relics, Fauna and Flora Act (Lesotho, No. 41 of 1967); the National Heritage Act 2011 and Environment Act (Lesotho, No. 10 of 2008); World Heritage Convention Operational Guidelines; Environment policies in Lesotho and Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife policies. In terms of these legislation, all development within or outside the property is subjected to an Environmental Impact Assessment and Heritage Impact Assessments respectively, which consider the Outstanding Universal Value of the property. In addition all World Heritage Sites are recognized as protected areas, meaning that mining or prospecting will be completely prohibited from taking place within the property or the proclaimed buffer zone. Furthermore, any unsuitable development with a potential impact on the property will not be permitted by the South African Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs and the Lesotho Minister of Environment and Culture who are responsible for the implementation of the World Heritage Convention.
Invasive species and fire are major management challenges. At the time of inscription 1% of the property was covered with alien vegetation, including existing plantations and wattle infestations. This poses a threat to the ecological integrity of the Park as well as to the yield of water from its wetlands and river systems. Park management is actively addressing the removal of alien species. The interaction between the management of invasive species and the management of fire should also be carefully considered, taking into account the effects of fire on fire-sensitive fauna such as endemic frogs. Management of fire and invasive species needs to be addressed jointly by Lesotho and KwaZulu-Natal, ideally within the framework established for transboundary protected area cooperation.There is a need to ensure an equitable balance between the management of nature and culture through incorporating adequate cultural heritage expertise into the management of the Park and providing the responsible cultural heritage authorities with adequate budgets for the inventory, conservation and monitoring tasks. This shall ensure that all land management processes respect the paintings, that satisfactory natural shelter is provided to the rock art sites, that monitoring of the rock art images is conducted on a regular basis by appropriately qualified conservators, and that access to the paintings is adequately regulated. Furthermore, there is a need to ensure that Heritage Impact Assessments are undertaken in conjunction with Environmental Impact Assessments for any proposed development affecting the setting within the property.

any suggestions?? just got access to a computer to be able to chech these forums. Thanks!
OK so wevebeen having issues with our HP laptop for about the past month - been running extremely slow, and then finally the other day it wouldnt come on. It would bring up the black screen asking if we wanted to run in safe mode and then whatever option we picked, it would act like it was starting up, but then just go to a blue screen and do nothing,
I was planning on taking it somewhere to be looked at, but then my mother in law decided to mess with it while we were away one day.
She says she had put it in safe mode by doing the F11 trick, but then when we restarted our computer, it had us do the whole original computer set up process and now everything on our computer is gone - files, software, programs, everything.
It seems to be working ok now, doing a full virus scan, but is there a way to retrieve everything without bringing back whatever caused this in the first place? Im not sure if im still in safe mode or not, i dont see anything on the screen that would indicate safe mode.
Thanks in advance!

General Motors' main weakness in Europe is its money-losing Opel/Vauxhall unit, which needs a quick and radical restructuring. To make the fix, GM CEO Daniel Akerson should borrow from Ford boss Alan Mulally's One Ford strategy rather than join forces in a loose tie-up with a struggling PSA/Peugeot-Citroen.
By doing this, GM would use its massive size to its advantage rather than embark on a complex, time-consuming cross-cultural alliance that initially appears more beneficial to PSA than to the world's largest automaker.
Let's consider some key facts.
1. Although Europe accounted for 87 percent of Opel's 1.13 million global sales last year, it is not an isolated regional carmaker. Opel is part of GM's global network of platforms and powertrains so its products can be built and sold anywhere in the GM empire. GM could do a better job taking advantage of this as Opel's current product range is stronger than ever.
2. Opel already shares engineering costs with other GM brands and gets economy-of-scale benefits from Chevrolet and Buick models built around the world. Additional synergies with PSA would definitely help, but with the first joint product coming in 2016 at the earliest, the help won't come fast enough.
3. Adding PSA into the GM Europe equation would add volume - the French automaker built 3.5 million vehicles last year - but would drastically increase complexity and reduce the speed of decision-making at GM, which is not regarded as a global leader at acting fast.
4. GM has had little success making the right deals with automakers in Europe. After 20 years of trying to fix Saab, GM basically gave away the company in early 2010. In 2005, GM's five-year partnership with Fiat ended with the U.S. automaker being forced to pay Fiat $2 billion to avoid having to purchase 80 percent of the Italian company's automotive operations. In total, GM invested $4.4 billion in Fiat, which is much less than it got from the five years of synergies.
Different road
When Ford restructured in the last decade it got smaller rather than bigger. CEO Alan Mulally sold Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo, shut down the Mercury brand and concentrated globally on the Ford brand as part of the One Ford strategy. Despite a radical restructuring, GM still focuses on multiple brands, with Opel being the least profitable and most vulnerable.
A key to One Ford is that the same product is built with just minor tweaks all over the world. The new Fiesta subcompact was the first One Ford vehicle, followed by the new Focus last year. The Fusion/Mondeo replacements will get the same treatment next. By doing this, Ford leverages the volume of truly global architectures, reaching adequate scale and it does so without having to discuss every move with a partner. GM uses global architectures but produces slightly different products for different brands around the world, which adds complexity and reduces standardization.
GM is the world's largest automaker and should use this advantage more than ever as it restructures in Europe. PSA, which is not present in the United States and is behind rivals in China and Russia, needs GM's scale and the global reach more than the other way around.
GM also has to ask itself whether PSA is the right partner, especially since it already has a vast array of agreements with automakers such as Fiat, Toyota and BMW. It will take years for GM and PSA to developed a true, 360-degree cooperation.
Too much capacity
In addition, Opel and PSA have the same problems in Europe: huge investment and production costs as well as too much capacity. While a tie-up might save the automakers money, each would still have to cut capacity.
According to Morgan Stanley, last year Opel used just 67 percent of its installed capacity and PSA did marginally better at 77 percent. An automaker needs to use at least 80 percent of installed capacity to break even. Since the European market is not expected to rebound until 2015 at the earliest, closing plants is the only way for PSA and Opel to achieve better utilization. Sweeping plant closures in Germany, France and Spain, however, would spark a firestorm with the unions and politicians.
In the 2000s, Ford took bold steps to reduce its production capacity in Europe. The move was crucial to the company because as Ford's U.S. operations were bleeding cash in the past decade, its European unit was printing money. Despite an escalating price war last year, Ford's European unit lost $27 million while selling 1.6 million vehicles.
GM Europe - which includes Opel and Chevrolet - sold a similar number of vehicles, 1.73 million, but lost $747 million last year.

Braced for a fight, President Barack Obama on Wednesday unveiled the most sweeping proposals for curbing gun violence in two decades, pressing a reluctant Congress to pass universal background checks and bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the Newtown, Conn., school rampage.
"We can't put this off any longer," Obama said in urging Congress to approve the measures.
But the nation's largest gun-lobby group quickly signaled its opposition. "Attacking firearms and ignoring children is not a solution to the crisis we face as a nation," the National Rifle Association said in a statement. "Only honest, law-abiding gun owners will be affected and our children will remain vulnerable to the inevitability of more tragedy."
Obama's announcement helped spur a surge of buying in gun companies: Smith & Wesson and Sturm Ruger each closed more than 5 percent higher Wednesday.

Power associated with mechanical work equals the product of a velocity magnitude ("speed") and the component of force applied in the direction of that velocity. This is equal to the vector dot-product of velocity and force. Virtually every power meter deals with this relationship. For example, the iBike estimates the forces acting on the bicycle, then multiplies those forces times the measured speed of the bike. The Polar power meter estimates the tension (force) in the chain, and multiplies it by the speed of the chain. The SRM and Quarq Cinqos measure the torque (an integral of force times distance) in the crank spider and multiples it by a rotational velocity (a speed divided by a radius). The PowerTap does a similar calculation, measuring a torque in the hub and multiplying by a rotational velicity of the hub. So generally all existing "power meters" are force based.
Where the Vector differs from these other units, however, is that it is measuring multiple forces components, not just one in a single direction. These other units are essentially measuring a single force (or torque). The PowerTap, for example, will record and report hub torque, but except for calibration purposes that number isn't of much independent interest from the power number (except at zero speed, where power is automatically zero and thus provides no information).
To consider the force components on a pedal, I'll define coordinate axes:
Axes for right pedal
A few comments on this:
- the coordinate axes are relative to the spindle relative to the direction of motion of the pedal as it rotates. The angle of the pedal body is irrelevant. The Vector sits in the spindle, not the body, so the body of the pedal is effectively (from the perspective of the Vector) part of the shoe.
- The coordinates shown here for the right pedal are actually a left-handed coordinate system. There's no problem with left-handed coordinate systems (relative to the more conventional right-handed coordinate systems) as long as one is self-consistent.
For the left pedal, taking the mirror image of the schematic for the right pedal, results in a right-handed coordinate system:
Axes for left pedal
it would have been more appropriate for the right pedal to have a right-handed coordinate system, and the left to have a left, but these coordinates (to me) make more sense.
For this analysis I'll assume the right pedal is at 3 o'clock (pointing forward), the left pedal at 9 o'clock (pointing backward). There's no loss of generality here; it just avoids complexity in the math. I'll further assume the bike is on rollers or another form of stationary trainer. Thus the pedals are turning in circles relative to the intertial coordinate systems, but not translating through those coordinates.
This last assumption is worth discussing a bit. If the bike is moving forward, then the motion of the pedal consists of two components: a translational component (moving with the rest of the bike) and a rotational component (spinning about the hub axis). As I mentioned, power equals force in the direction of a velocity times the magnitude of that velocity. Suppose the bike is coasting forward and I'm pushing forward on both pedals but not spinning them. Is this propulsive? Does it contribute to bike motion? Well, probably not. If both feet are pushing forward, then Newton's third law (for every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction) suggests there needs to be something else pushing backwards. Unless the rider is pushing against the ground with his foot, then this "opposite" force will be against either the saddle or the handlebars. Since I don't have Vectors in my seat post or stem, I won't be measuring these components of power. But I can generally rely on Newton's law that pulling on the handlebars while pushing on the pedals will not move the bike forward. So the only pedal velocity I'm interested in is the rotational velocity: the velocity of the pedals rotating about the hub. This is why I choose to have my coordinate axes in the frame of the bicycle, rather than the frame of the ground. These coincide if the bike is on a trainer, which is the case I'll assume.
Okay, enough of all of that. I'll continue with this next time...

haha...troll, maybe, speaking the truth, definetly
Hello all, there is no point mentioning my name as I am sure quite sure actually you will all hate me at the end of this post, so will not be returning, or looking at responses actually, but I am putting this message out there for any owner's who come to this site having a mix breed. I am a vet technician and work at my local animal shelter on the weekends at times. I came upon a post where you all pretty much attack this poor guy for getting his wife a Morkie. I have never had a Morkie, don't know much about the breed as a combination, I agree it is a mutt of course, but if he wants to call it a Morkie let him!), but I will tell you one thing, you all complaining at him and attacking his choice to get a Morkie, but your various reasons is so wrong. I work at the shelter, as of right now about half yes half of our animals are purebred! So your complaint that the result of "designer dogs" are overpopulating the world and leading to deaths of millions of unwanted dogs is ridiculous. I have two rescues purebred golden retrievers from there, that when I got them it was quite clear why they were given up by inexperienced owners. You see it is not the designer, mutts we should worry about it is the breeders/owners, PEOPLE themselves. Also this is just mine and my boss's opinion of course (a vet) but through our experience, our purebreds do experience more health problems then mutts. My two Golden's (whom I love) have had many actually later on in their lives-they are pure, I have the documentation to prove it, one is even ckc reg. Why don't we go after the puppy mills, instead of people who are getting their mutts not from puppy mills, but even though not reg. it seems like responsible breeder. My great Aunt who actually bred CKC Dalmatians, told me so many fellow breeders/ friends that she has met, do pump as many pups as they can out in order to make money. Before I had these purebreds" I had mutts other than one purebred, and guess what! That CKC registered German Shepard died at 5 years old from a brain hemorrhage. So far in my volunteer career, I have helped shut down 8 puppy mills in my province, what have you guys done other then complain?! You all talk about how there is a overpopulation of mutts, in my opinion there are too many purebred breeders in general out there, there is enough so there should be no worry a Golden Retriever will disappear as a breed, Go volunteer at your local shelter, or help a local volunteer organization in shutting down puppy mills, or horrible back yard breeder's then talk.As I agree many of these designer dog breeders are BYB, many, many are not.Do proper research. Sorry but I see buying a purebred CKC reg. dog here the same as actually purchasing a mutt, I would do neither.Though if you can make excuses why you have bought your purebred, do not look down on someone buying a mutt from a reputable (yes not certified) breeder who cares just as much about breeding their Mix as your CKC reistered breeder cares about breeding her dogs-as I know one lady who breeds her purebred poodle and purebred golden together, only because she finds less health problems and better dogs all around, after may I add being a retired Golden Retreiver CKC breeder for over 20 years!
Anyways, chow!
Ohman, stick around and read more posts. I think you will find that there are many members and ex-members who have done more than you think in rescuing . Some giving up their whole lives to rescue.

ohman, not sure if you are a regular under a different name, but suspect maybe not or you would know how many of the members on this board work hard in the rescues and have helped shut down puppy mills, on and on. Nobody hates you or your opinion, you are entitled to your opinion. I have always had mutts and love them to death. I am currently waiting for a purebred - the problem being that I have not found a breeder of three Provinces of searching, so over breeding is not an issue here.
In my humble opinion, if somebody like your friend wants to breed poodles to goldens go for it. Just make sure the parents are stable, healthy quality animals. Does she screen all of her breeding animals for genetic diseases. Do they pass any type of breed testing at all? Just asking?
Mutts are great, and most everybody on this board owns one or more.
There are just more bad mixed breed breeders out there. Sure, some have nice websites and so on, but very few do health testing on the parents, or any sort of showing or events with the parents to know and prove the parents have good temperaments.
There are of course purebred breeders who are horrible too, you'd see THOSE pups in a shelter being dumped.
But there are also a lot of good, responsible, ethical breeders of purebred dogs. They do ask questions of the people who inquire about a pup. They do educate those people if they have screened them and decided they are a good home for one of the puppies. And they support them for life, so when there is an issue with the dog, the breeder is the first one called for help.
You wouldn't see those purebreds in a shelter, or even rehomed, because it's a rare situation that a pup they've bred has the issues that result in the dog getting dumped. I know many breeders like that and rehoming just isn't something that happens very often - and if it does, it's back to the breeder's house.
Our board is a mixed one with different opinions.
But we have 5 forums dedicated to rescue and many regulars are involved in rescue....so you are preaching (in general) to the wrong crowd.
You'd also be better off preaching in a different way.
You'll find that when people preach to you in this same way, that you won't listen because the tone is rude and condescending.
So keep preaching because your message is important....just do it in a way that doesn't waste your time and the reader's time and actually accomplishes something. 1 large paragraph with no line breaks is also a poor way to get any message across. I encourage you to rethink your strategy.
Good luck.
Please tactfully EDUCATE or IGNORE posters you don't agree with.
Please PM me & Include URLs and post #'s for any issues and it's my pleasure to help.
I'm firm - but fair. Mind the Rules and enjoy your stay.

It's too bad that not only have you pre-judged but you are inexperienced in what you do and not open to being educated. You see, you've made a common mistake and that is assuming registration with the CKC is supposed to be some kind of guarantee of quality. It's not and it doesn't pretend to be. The CKC is merely the registering body for all purebred dogs in Canada. Your mistake is, you don't understand the difference between purebred and well bred. CKC registration is merely a stop on the long road to finding a well bred dog, and a stop early on the way too.
Ditto to all the board member comments above me too.

ST. LOUIS (AP) � Kyle Kendrick threw a seven-hitter for his first career shutout, winning his first game of the season and putting the Philadelphia Phillies on the verge of their first four-game sweep in St. Louis in 26 years with a 4-0 victory last night.
Shane Victorino's RBI double in the fourth was the only support Kendrick (1-4) needed and John Mayberry added a two-run double in a three-run sixth. Hunter Pence and Brian Schneider added two hits apiece for the Phillies, who have won four in a row.
Kendrick entered with a 5.23 ERA and the Phillies were 1-9 in the games he pitched, five of them starts. But he's 5-1 against the Cardinals in eight games, all but two of them starts.
Jaime Garcia (3-3) allowed four runs on six hits in six innings for the Cardinals, who swept a three-game series against the Padres before hitting the wall against the team they upset in the National League Division Series last fall.
David Freese had two singles and is 7 for 7 with two homers and four RBI for St. Louis since returning from a two-game break to clear his head from a 3-for-34 slump.
The Cardinals were shut out for the first time at home. Their lone highlight was left fielder Matt Holliday's leaping catch at the wall to rob Jimmy Rollins of a leadoff homer in the first.
They haven't been swept in a four-game series at home by the Phillies since Aug. 4-7, 1986, and even in three-game series they haven't been swept since 2001.
Kendrick needed just 94 pitches, 70 of them strikes, to throw his second career complete game and first since July 3, 2010, at Pittsburgh. He worked ahead in the count constantly, throwing first-pitch strikes to the first 13 batters, and had four strikeouts with no walks.
Kendrick pitched a season-high seven innings in his last start, a 2-1 loss to the Nationals on May 21. He allowed three or fewer runs for the 14th time in 15 starts.
The Phillies totaled just five runs while Kendrick was in the game his other five starts this season, an average of 1.67 runs that was the majors' worst with a minimum of five starts.
The Cardinals got their first runner in scoring position when Tyler Greene doubled with two outs in the sixth, and Kendrick quickly escaped by getting Holliday to ground out.
Garcia retired seven of eight before the fourth, when Pence had a leadoff single and scored on Victorino's double to put the Phillies ahead.
Placido Polanco doubled to start the sixth and Garcia walked two of the next three hitters before Mayberry doubled down the third-base line. Mayberry had been 3 for 22 with one RBI against St. Louis, but with all three hits and the RBI in six at-bats against Garcia.
