The former mayor of Ecorse has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for corruption.
Herbert Worthy admitted a year ago that he took bribes and turned over the Ecorse public works department to corrupt contractors. His punishment Tuesday was far below the four-year sentence recommended by the U.S. attorney's office.
The 79-year-old Worthy had asked for home detention because of poor health.
He admitted taking $65,000 in 2007 and 2008 from two men who were hired to privatize public works. Stacey Tarockoff and Sheldon Divers pleaded guilty to crimes, and Ecorse's former controller, Earl Hollenquest, was convicted at trial last week.

Mars atmospheric entry
Mars atmospheric entry is the entry into the atmosphere of Mars. High velocity entry into Martian air creates a CO2-N2 plasma, as opposed to O2-N2 for Earth air.[1] Mars entry is affected by the radiative effects of hot CO2 gas and Martian dust suspended in the air.[2] Flight regimes for entry, descent, and landing systems include aerocapture, hypersonic, supersonic, and subsonic.[3]
Thermal protection systems and atmospheric friction have been used historically to reduce most of the kinetic energy that needs to be lost prior to landing, with parachutes and, sometimes, a final bit of retropropulsion used in the final landing. High-altitude high-velocity retropropulsion is being researched for future transport flights landing heavier cargos.
For example, Mars Pathfinder entered in 1997.[4] About 30 minutes prior to entry, the cruise stage and entry capsule separated.[4] When the capsule hit the atmosphere it de-accelerated from about 7.3 km/s to 0.4 km/s (16330 mph to 900 mph) over three minutes.[4] As it descended the parachute opened to slow it down further, and soon after the heat shield was released.[4] During entry a signal was relayed back to Earth, including semaphore signals for important events.[4]

- Mars 3
- Mars 6
- Viking 1

- Mars Pathfinder
- Phoenix lander

A deployable decelerator like a parachute can slow down a spacecraft after a heat shield.[5] Typically a Disk-Gap-Band parachute has been used, but another possibility are trailing or attached inflatable entry devices.[5] Inflatable types include sphere w/ fence, teardrop w/ fence, isotensoid, torus, or tension cone and attached types include isotensoid, tension cone, and stacked toroid blunted cone.[5] Viking Program era researchers were the true pioneers of this technology, and development had to be restarted after decades of neglect.[5] Those latest studies have shown that tension cone, isotensoid, and stacked torus may be the best types to pursue.[5]
Finland's MetNet probe may use an expandable entry shield if it is sent.[6] Martian air can also be used for aerobraking to orbital velocity (aerocapture), rather than descent and landing.[1] Supersonic retro-propulsion is another concept to shed velocity.[7]
NASA is carrying out research on retropropulsive deceleration technologies to develop new approaches to Mars atmospheric entry. A key problem with propulsive techniques is handling the fluid flow problems and attitude control of the descent vehicle during the supersonic retropropulsion phase of the entry and deceleration. More specifically, NASA is carrying out thermal imaging infrared sensor data-gathering studies of the SpaceX booster controlled-descent tests that are currently, as of 2014[update], underway.[8] The research team is particularly interested in the 70–40-kilometer (43–25 mi) altitude range of the SpaceX "reentry burn" on the Falcon 9 Earth-entry tests as this is the "powered flight through the Mars-relevant retropulsion regime" that models Mars entry and descent conditions.[9]
The following data were compiled by Mars Science Laboratory's Entry, Descent and Landing team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It provides a timeline of critical mission events that occurred on the evening of August 5 PDT (early on August 6 EDT).[10]

Happy New Year to all of you. I have a lot to be thankful for in 2011 One big thanks goes to all my clients; both new and repeat clients. I also
receive lots of referrals from those that have either booked me or seen me at a party. The picture above was taken at a company holiday party while I was performing mingle magic. The gentlmen here is Martin. I peformed at his birthday party in June. He was kind enough to refer me to the entertainment committee for his company's holiday party. I made sure that he and his guest got a special performance.
The photo below was taken last January for Japanese insurance company party. I dusted off my Japanese Magic Act that I first conceived back in 1984. (Wow! Long time ago!) And I have been asked back this month for the 4th year in a row to entertain their clients once again.
Word of mouth and repeat business is a huge part of any successful business, but it's not enough to sustain growth. That is why I advertise in magazines and online. I also continue to educate myself in all aspects of my profession, in acting, learning new tricks, and marketing and sales.
My family took a trip to San Francisco over the Thanksgiving weekend. My son had a art project to complete so we went to the Legion of Honor. Afterwards, we trekked over to Fort Point, at the foot of theGoldenGate Bridge.
This picture I took from the top of Fort Point. The massive steel girders and twisted cables stand there with great strength. The towerlooked like it was just floating on the water. The wind was howling and the surf was strong and swift. To be that close to the bridge was breathtaking.
Lately, I've been trying to make it a priority to sit and observe nature; to appreciate its breathtaking beauty and calmness. Ironically, it takes effort for me to just sit and do nothing. I'malways on the go. The stillness of the bridge motivates me to find a stillness in my body and mind, and to quiet my thoughts for a few minutes. I've learned to be more relaxed before going on stage. By doing this, I am more ''in the moment'' with my audience and my work becomes more authentic.
There's lots of beauty all around us. All we have to do is to take a few moments to observe and appreciate it. I hope we can all make time during the holidays to find the peace and calmness in our day. And to find joy in the world around us. And to share the joy with others. Happy Holidays.
This photo was taken in Palo Alto at 40th reunion party for Stanford Alumni. I was one of the magicians mingling around performing magic during the cocktail hour. No, I did not graduate from Stanford. But, I did go to Stanford. Really! Just every weekend to the football games.
Music is a big part of my life as much as magic is. Back in 1997, I performed at Jeffrey's 10th birthday party in Palo Alto. Jeffrey is the son of a school friend, Andy Schneider, that I've known since 3rd or 4th grade. Well, that boy is now about 24 years old and playing in a band in England called, Ellen and the Escapades. What a nice surprise to learn that this 10-year old boy had grown up and found his passion in music. Their music is very enjoyable. It can be described as delicate, bitter-sweet and soul searching. Influenced by musical artists such as, Carole King, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Ryan Adams and Fleetwood Mac. I downloaded a few tracks from iTunes. You can find out more about the band at: www.ellenandtheescapades.com
More about my school friend, Andy Schneider....
It was in 4th or 5th grade when Andy came to school and showed me a practical joke. He then told me about this magic shop in Los Altos. So, after school, we both rode our bicycles from Palo Alto to the "House of Humor". There I was introduced to magic tricks, jokes and other novelties. From then on, I would return on Saturdays to watch, Magician Bill Hagen, demonstrate the magic tricks for sale.
A few years later, there was an opening for a new demonstrator and I got the job. It was a blast! I got paid to perform magic for customers and earn money at the same time. I started out at minimum wage making $1.65 an hour. That was good money back then. I remember how shocked I was when I got my first paycheck and Uncle Sam kept $0.45 in taxes. I thought I was robbed.
Thank you, Andy for telling me about the "House of Humor".
That's how my summer is going. I looked at my calendar the other day and realized that I'm performing 30 consecutive days from July 15th to August 14th. I counted 60 gigs in that time frame. This includes, corporate parties, cocktail receptions, adult and kids' birthdays, schools, libraries and several magic classes.
So, what does one do after 30 days of performing? Go to Disneyland, of course! By the time you read this, my son and I will be enjoying four days with Mickey and the gang. It will be a real treat to ''be entertained'' and enjoy watching someone else perform.
The day after we return home, it's three more shows. And I'll will be busy through the end of August with a few corporate gigs

Thursday, September 4, 2014
The question of what is next for an effort to raise the cap on the Murrells Inlet Garden City Fire District millage is back in the lap of the districts board of directors.
The state House of Representatives failed Aug. 27, to override Gov. Nikki Haleys veto of a bill that would have given the district four mills more to run its fire and rescue service.
The district, formed in the mid-60s by the General Assembly, spans the northern part of Georgetown County, from just north of Brookgreen Gardens, and the southern end of Horry County, from Georgetown County to the Surfside Beach line.
It operated on five mills a mill is equal to $1 per $1,000 of assessed valuation until 1994, when lawmakers approved a five mill increase in the cap. The bill to raise the cap, introduced by Sen. Ray Cleary, R-Murrells Inlet, sailed through the Senate and passed the House, but Haley vetoed the legislation, saying that it would be increasing taxes without a vote. The Senate overrode the veto, but the House adjourned in June without taking up the issue.
This isnt raising taxes, said Cleary. This is giving the board the right to do so if needed. There was no definitive tax increase unless theres a need for it.
He also questioned whether a state law that would have allowed the special district to hold a binding referendum would apply to the district board, which is appointed by the legislature.
Im going to ask the Attorney Generals Office for an opinion on that.
Al Hitchcock, chairman of the fire district board, said he wasnt sure what would be the next step for the board. He expects the board to take up the issue at its next meeting, Sept. 29.
Im still stunned, he said, nearly a week after the veto override failed 58-49. A two-thirds majority was needed to override the governor.
Also surprised and disappointed by the vote was Bill Fancher, chairman of the Murrells Inlet Garden City Professional Firefighters Association.
Unfortunately S293 did not get the override we needed. The Murrells Inlet Garden City Professional Firefighters Association pledges to work with the Board of Directors as well as our local elected officials to resolve this issue, Fancher wrote in an email.
Haley on her Facebook page had urged lawmakers to sustain her veto, and then thanked them the day of the vote, singling out Reps. Stephen Goldfinch, R-Murrells Inlet and fellow Republicans Rick Quinn and Todd Atwater of Lexington.
The three spoke in support of the veto.
Thanks in particular to Representatives Goldfinch, Atwater, and Quinn for their fights today! the governor wrote Aug. 27, on Facebook.
Goldfinch and Rep. Tracy Edge of North Myrtle Beach were the only local lawmakers to vote to sustain the governors veto.

A published report says federal authorities are using taped phone conversations to build criminal cases connected to the $6 billion trading loss announced by JPMorgan Chase earlier this year.
The New York Times reports investigators are focusing on four people who worked for the London team responsible for the loss. The Times says authorities are also examining notes from staff meetings, instant messages and emails.
The report says the investigation is in the early stages and federal prosecutors haven't decided whether to file charges. No current or former employee has been charged with wrongdoing.
A JPMorgan Chase spokeswoman didn't immediately return a request for comment. JPMorgan reports its quarterly earnings Friday and is expected to face more questions about the trading loss.

City of Kingston Economic Development Overview Brochure
Concept, design, copy and photography by Raleigh Green Inc.
Client: City of Kingston's Office of Economic Development and Strategic Partnerships
City of Kingston Economic Development Overview Brochure
Concept, design, copy and photography by Raleigh Green Inc.
Client: City of Kingston's Office of Economic Development and Strategic Partnerships
The top executives of Empire State Bank, headquartered in Newburgh, NY with branches in New York City and the Hudson Valley, wanted to more effectively reflect the bank's brand strategy, and the company's expanding operations with the opening of a new branch in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
Raleigh Green Inc. was retained to review the company's brand strengths and management's core objectives, and arrive at a way to more engagingly present its brand without completely abandoning it's core look and visual equities.
Following research and management interviews, a modified logo was created. The new logo has a warmer, more personalized feel, and revised typography that emphasizes 'Empire' in the name. A new tagline was also created that speaks directly to bank's unique strengths in personalized service for business clients – 'We Take Your Business Personally'.
This revised brand more successfully communicates the business' focus on relationships in banking services, projects a more approachable image, and creates stronger visual reach and impact in all forms of marketing and communication materials. The new logo is accompanied by a full stationary system and forthcoming website redesign.
Raleigh Green Inc. was retained by New York State's oldest family owned dairy, Boice Bros. Dairy, to help them celebrate their 100th birthday with a unique event. The client wanted to accomplish two things in addition to recognizing their business' anniversary: to create the world's longest ice cream sundae, and to make the event a fundraiser. With those ideas in mind, RGI was asked to plan, organize, develop and promote a special community-wide celebration.
The event was an opportunity for the client to 'refresh' its brand image. Although well known throughout the Hudson Valley where their products are sold, Boice Bros Dairy had done little in the way of traditional advertising in over a dozen years. To start, the company required some branding updates and enhancements including a company website, revised logo (with 'Celebrating 100 Years' added), tagline ('Still Fresh After 100 Years'), and event theme: "Across the Generations" (a hat-tip to the 4 generations of family carrying on the legacy of the company).
RGI recommended July 20th (National Ice Cream Day) to hold the event, and suggested having the event in the Rondout neighborhood in Kingston (Boice Bros Dairy is based in Kingston, NY). The location has a long and attractive waterfront promenade that is almost a mile in length – perfect for creating the world's longest ice cream sundae. Entertainment (four live bands, jugglers, clowns, face painters, impersonators, balloon artists, etc), media buys, radio interviews, press releases, acquisition of local permits, security, shuttle buses, acquisition of raffle prizes, and more were all managed by RGI. In addition, RGI scouted various non-profit organizations to be the beneficiary of the event, eventually recommending the creation and funding of a brand new educational program, co-managed by the Hudson River Maritime Museum and Clearwater Organization, called the Hudson River Steward Program. The program will have all of Kingston's fourth-graders visit the museum and Clearwater sloop and learn about the Hudson River and its importance to them and their community and how to be a good steward of it. Children's visits will end by being given a certificate proclaiming them honorary Hudson River Stewards, and a chocolate milk from Boice Bros Dairy.
The event was a resounding success with over 5,000 participants (the largest one-time event in Kingston of the year), extensive positive coverage in the local and regional media of Boice Bros Dairy, wide array of business and resident participation, fundraising goal reached with almost $20,000 raised, and achievement of a new world record (1,606 feet, besting the old record by 300 feet).
KINGSTON, New York (May 23, 2014) – Boice Bros Dairy, New York State's oldest family-owned and operated dairy, celebrates 100 years on July 20th with a free-to-the-public birthday and benefit bash along Kingston's waterfront. From 12 noon to 4pm the event, titled "Across the Generations", will feature live music and entertainment, prizes, icecream and food, and much more. The main stage will be in TR Gallo Park and the assembly of the longest ice cream sundae in the world will take place along the entire Rondout Promenade.
Boice Bros. Dairy, founded in 1914 by Pratt and Harriett Boice, provides Hudson Valley retailers with fresh, hormone and antibiotic-free dairy products, and sells ice cream and ice cream cakes at their Kingston store The Milk House. The company today is managed by the third and fourth generation of Boices.
"We're looking forward to this special event in our company and family's history, and invite everyone to come and enjoy the bash – we ask everyone from the community to help make and eat the longest ice cream sundae in the world!" says Rich Boice, general manager and president of Boice Bros. Dairy. The current world record for the longest ice cream sundae is 1,250 feet.
The event will also be a charity fundraiser for a new program – the Hudson River Stewards Program to be managed by both the Hudson River Maritime Museum and Clearwater. The program will be focused on creating an interactive learning experience for elementary school children in the Hudson Valley with a focus on educating and inspiring the next generation about the importance of the Hudson River in our every day lives. Tours and activities at the museum and Clearwater Sloop and more will be provided as part of the program.
Raleigh Green, Event Coordinator
Municipalities, like companies, change over time. Their inhabitants, points of interest, neighborhoods, priorities, and more shift, evolve and diversify (or not). Kingston, a city of 25,000 located 100 miles due north of New York City on the Hudson River, has a long history spanning back to 1651 with early Dutch settlers in the New World. Over the centuries, the city's various industries came and went, each leaving its mark in architectural styles, neighborhood development, and physical impact on the landscape. With so much history, including being the first capital of New York State, Kingston was a natural tourist destination for history-buffs. However, following the closure of large technology plants in the 1990s and economic struggles that ensued, Kingston needed to do more than champion its past – it needed a common brand concept that celebrates the present, speaks to the city's strengths, and offers a vision for the future.
What Kingston needed was a brand message that could embrace the entire community on multiple levels, and provide the city's leadership (in government, business, non-profits, activists, etc) a communications tool that could be used to promote, reference, and celebrate the 'new' Kingston. The city also needed a brand concept to distinguish itself from surrounding towns and other places with 'history'.
Raleigh Green Inc. was hired by the Kingston city government to develop a brand concept that celebrates the city's present and future, while respecting its past. Following an extensive research process of interviews and comparative surveys, a tagline was developed to summarize a compelling brand strategy for community development: "Historic is just our beginning" – a reference to Kingston not only having 'history', but is 'historic', an important difference between it and other older towns in the Hudson Valley and beyond. The tagline also projects a confidence in the future and that its history is a terrific foundation upon which to build.
Following the development of a positioning and tagline, a logo was developed to reflect various characteristics of Kingston. Raleigh Green Inc., using the design skills of Rodney Durso, developed a charming logo that expresses many key attributes of the city. The logo's font reflects Kingston's strong creative community; the skyline's buildings represent actual buildings from different communities within Kingston; and the red color reflects Kingston's history in brick making, and a synergy with the "I Love NY" logo developed by Milton Glaser in 1977. The brand was also designed for a horizontal format for more 'formal' applications, and a vertical treatment for more 'pop' applications such as posters.
The new Kingston branding does not replace the official government seal, but is to be used in promotional, community and economic communications such as the new 2014 Visitors Guide, tourism advertising, websites and more. The brand is also intended to be more of a 'pop branding' initiative (vs. 'traditional/formal'). The hope is that over time the new logo will be adopted and customized to suit the unique needs of different communities, while still sharing common elements of the brand concept. This has already happened with the appropriation of the font type in a popular city website for events and news.
A new radio campaign was launched by Sickler, Torchia, Allen & Churchill CPAs, one of the largest accounting firms in the Hudson Valley. The campaign, developed by Raleigh Green Inc., is part of a larger rebranding program for the firm. The media effort is to reach new audiences seeking to upgrade their accounting services and have a large enough firm to serve a wide range of accounting-related services including financial planning, bookkeeping, auditing, payroll, tax preparation and more. The radio campaign kicks off on Radio Woodstock during the month of January.

Two congressional leaders are calling for a probe into who leaked information about previously-undisclosed U.S. interrogation centers abroad.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and House Speaker Dennis Hastert want a congressional investigation into who told the news media about those sites.
The Washington Post reported last week on the existence of secret U.S. prisons for terrorism suspects in Eastern Europe. The Bush administration has neither confirmed nor denied that report.
Frist and Hastert said in a statement that the leak, if accurate, could have "damaging and dangerous consequences." They say it could imperil efforts to protect the U.S. from terrorism.
President Bush's spokesman won't say whether Bush endorses the call for a probe. But he says Bush sees the leaking of classified information as a "serious matter."

HE WAS PART OF A SMALL GROUP WHO CREATED A CODE, IN NAVAJO, THE JAPANESE COULDN'T CRACK AND HELPED THE U-S WIN WORLD WAR II. MANY OF THESE WAR HEREOS ARE IN THE 80'S AND 90'S AND ARE DYING. ACCORDING TO THE NAVAJO NATION ... THEIR MOST RECENT RECORDS SHOW THERE SHOULD BE BETWEEN 25 AND 65 STILL ALIVE. THERE'S A BIG GAP, BECAUSE THEY'VE ONLY MADE CONTACT WITH 25; IT'S NOW 24 ... WITH DRAPER'S DEATH. THE NAVAJO NATION BELIEVES MOST OF THEM ARE LIVING IN THE SOUTHWEST REGION. Chester Nez/Navajo Code Talker: "Some of these guys they came out, some recruiters from San Diego, came out to look for young men to join the Marine Corps." THERE'S A MOVEMENT TO DOCUMENT THE CODE TALKERS' INCREDIBLE STORY. LIKE CHESTER NEZ, ONE OF THE ORIGINAL CODE TALKERS WHO LIVES IN ALBUQUERQUE. JUDY AVILA WROTE HIS MEMOIR. SHE SAYS THE CODE TALKER LEGACY IS TOO IMPORTANT TO BE FORGOTTEN. SOT Judy Avila/Author: "At night, they were allowed to leave for dinner but all their working papers were locked into a safe." THIS GROUP OF YOUNG NAVAJO MEN TRANSMITTED SECRET COMMUNICATIONS ON THE BATTLEFIELDS OF WORLD WAR TWO. IT WAS A TIME WHEN AMERICA WAS LOSING THE WAR... AND THESE MODEST SHEEP HERDERS AND FARMERS CREATED ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL CODES IN MILITARY HISTORY. THE U-S MILITARY STARTED RECRUITING NAVAJO MEN IN 1942. THE NAVAJO NATION SAYS THE NAVAJO CODE TALKERS ASSOCIATION WORKS TO TRACK DOWN MORE OF THESE MEN. IT'S HARD BECAUSE SOME LIVE IN RURAL AREAS OR MOVED AWAY. IT'S IMPORTANT THEY CONTACT THE NAVAJO NATION BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO DOCUMENT THEIR STORIES. BACK TO YOU. THERE ARE CURRENTLY PLANS TO BUILD A NAVAJO CODE TALKER MUSEUM.

nursed her, put her down, sang, patted and shushed. of course it didn't work, but i wanted to try. kept that up for about 40 minutes PUPD when she cried, etc, and then just nursed her to sleep in our bed.
I have read a lot of the intro information on non-CIO ST on the stickie on this board, but feel like i don't know how to START. do i do nighttime first and then naps, or try all at once?
in 2 months i need to start traveling for work again so i know it's REALLY time to make it so she can fall asleep without me, and also i think she could STTN if I wasn't right next to her tempting her to nurse!
any advice on how to start would be great, it just seems so hard to figure out what to do the first few nights. I do have patience and time in the evenings right now for this, so any tips you have would really help me! I think the fact that i don't know how to start has made me put off trying this since she was 5-6 months, and now i really know it will only get harder and harder as the months pass. Thanks!

Honest or Impolite?
I have a cousin who wants to come visit with her toddler and dog. Last time they came they were sick and got my two boys sick. I said big dog needs to stay downstairs (finished guest suite) or outside (acre fenced yard). Within minutes the dog was in the main part of the house and my boys were screaming as the dog licked them and knocked over the younger one. Her toddler dripped milk all over my house and almost ruined my portable crib. She is hinting she would like to come again. Am I better off being honest and saying you can come as long as....or should I just not acknowledge the hints?
Tough situation, but if you can do it I'd go with honesty if you don't mind them coming. She may consider it impolite and not come anyway, but seriously it IS your house.
I vote with Jan.
I hate family situations like this. To me it begs the question, why do so many people with dogs, big or otherwise, think everybody should love having them around? Add to that, why are someone else's little darlings and their bad habits supposed to have free run in someone else's space? Your cousin could get someone to take care of the bothersome critter while they're gone. I can't have animals in my apt. so that's an easy one for me. My kids weren't allowed to have things like food and drinks all over the house and so I wouldn't allow a guest's child to carry milk or other drinks around either. Well, maybe water. My guess is that I'd tell my cousin how it is, when they arrived I'd enforce the rules I'd set, and my cousin would soon go home and probably wouldn't want to come back very soon. I often had the opposite problem: At home my kids were expected to keep food and drinks in the kitchen or other appropriate spot and when we were away from home others would encourage them in what I considered bad habits. Good luck keeping your home your home while not alienating family. I hope it's possible for you all to have a good visit and nobody get offended, upset, or mad.
i think you should tell them they should not come over with their dog, personally, we have 2 dogs, a medium size one, and a large one, we never take them around because we don't wanna infringe on the kindness of our family members, and we expect the same,
I'm all for honesty and for enforcing boundaries--especially in your own home! First of all, I would tell these people BEFORE they're invited and BEFORE they get there what the house rules are (no dogs allowed on my property--meaning, she has to leave it at home, only eat here, only drink here, etc., etc.) Then I'd politely tell her what happened last time and that it was not enjoyable for you and your family. Once you've made the what and the why clear, then and only then can you leave it up to her whether she wants to play by your rules or stay home!
I'm a big believer in boundaries, and I don't see any reason why you should be run over and taken advantage of in your own home! That's a bunch of BS--and the fact that's it's family doesn't matter one bit!! After all, every hotel, amusement park, and restaurant has ground rules for their establishment, so why should your house be any different?
I have large dogs (Bernese Mountain Dogs) but no children. (I did, however, teach middle-schoolers....) Your cousin is doing her child and dog no favors by not training them in positive behavior.
Regardless of your decision on the upcoming visit, it would be a kindness to inquire whether she's aware of "positive reinforcement training" for dogs and, if so, whether she's used it (or can get help) to accustom the dog to either a large crate or an ex-pen--short for "exercise pen," a specific kind of portable enclosure to keep dogs in one place.
Info on positive reinforcement training is all over the Net and in books/magazines, etc.--just don't go anywhere near Cesar Millan, the Dog Abuser. Here are some places to start:
--Whole Dog Journal http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/
--Peaceable Paws http://www.peaceablepaws.com/
And, in case some of the dog's behavior is due to anxiety in new places or around unknown people,
--Fearful Dogs http://fearfuldogs.com/books/
Baby gates may help enforce the boundaries of the house for the child; perhaps letting his mother, your cousin, know that you'll use baby gates to divide the house into "food" and "non-food" zones may help clarify the rules both for her and her child.
I've used baby gates for my dogs, even though they're designed for use with young children. When a new rescue comes to live with us, the baby gates give my cats a safe haven, a room or two where no dog can get close to them. (Berners aren't known as cat-killers or even -chasers, but feline peace of mind is priceless.)
Hope it all works out!
My daughter's dogs are not allowed upstairs, to be sure they use a baby gate. It works really well!
no dogs here, but we do have two cats. My son and his wife are coming to visit; my son is allergic to cats. We booked our cats into a Cat's Meow Lodging place for the duration of their visit.
My opinion: family members, especially, people, come before pets. Too many people these days are forgetting rules of common courtesy. I think it's up to us 'elders' to remind them, however uncomfortable that may be. They may bristle, but it will likely be only temporary.
Thank you for all the input. The situation was avoided b/c my MIL decided she was going to come, then she got sick and the hubby asked her to stay home. Now I get a quiet day with the hubby and my boys and a 4th of July parade - yeah :woohoo:

This braiser is now my favorite 'go-to' pan! I've made jambalaya, stews and even used it for pan roasting the last of our garden squash and okra. It's easy to clean, heats evenly and hasn't harmed my smooth glass cooktop. And, it looks quite nice hanging on my pot rack with my other anodized cookware!

I have been a fan of Lego since I was 4. My brother was given a big Lego set for helping my mom out while she was pregnant with me and my sister was into Lego too. So it has been a family thing since before I was born. Now my kids have joined in and we're hoping to build some really cool creations and hope to find things to fuel our ideas. I have three sons ages 13, 12, and 6.
We're hoping to do some things with trains. I am also planning to make a representation of our house. Ya it's not as big as the Eiffel Tower or some elaborate Star Wars base (that we have seen online), but I thought it would be cool to have in our train layout. Of course I will probably be doing it digitally first.
See you around the forum,
Hello there!

Before i worked at NATIONAL HILLS and had to buy a ticket i saw THE MAN THAT LOVED CAT DANCING and with a title like that no one would believe it was a pretty good western.I also saw SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE there and it too was a good movie.I had always wanted to get FIVE on a late show,but we never did. At least i don't have it written down.
SOUTHGATE CINEMA August 2 1975
In the final week of THE RETURN OF THE PINK PANTHER shows at 3:00 5:00 7:00 and 9:00
Feb. 26 1975 Southgate is playing THE FRONT PAGE.
NOV. 17 1974 WEIS DRIVE IN is spending a few bucks on a nice size ad for THREE THE HARD WAY with Jim Brown and SUPERFLY T.N.T.
Of course THREE THE HARD WAY play at 6:30 and 10:30. with T.N.T. playing at 8:20. FREE IN CAR HEATERS. WEIS DRIVE IN ads are always larger than the HILLTOP and SKYVIEW.
HILLTOP is playing a pretty decent film JACK LEMMON and WALTER MATTHAU in THE FRONT PAGE. Second feature is MY NAME IS NOBODY. both rated PG.
Now showing on a cold wednesday night at the HILLTOP DRIVE IN is BAMBOO GODS AND IRON MEN. second feature is SUPERSTOOGES VS. THE WONDERWOMEN. both rated R. Starts at dusk.
NOW PLAYING HILLTOP DRIVE in
RETURN TO MACON COUNTY and second feature COUNTRY BLUE .wonder where allthese old movies are today. rated PG.
Nov. 8 1974
NOW PLAYING as it read on the marquee in bright red letters
JUGGERNAUNT and second feature HARRY IN YOUR POCKET both rated PG . Starts at 6;30 pm. Juggernaunt opened at the MILLER theatre, while HARRY opened at SOUTHGATE,{i saw it at Southgate}
Nov.6 1977
BOBBY DEERFIELD is still doing pretty good business. I will be surprized if we don't get it. {it never played at COLUMBIA 1 and 2}
COLUMBIA TWO Feb. 24 1980
Well, we got it what Mr.Tinney really didn't want a film about a GAY killer or a killer of GAYS and can you believe it AL PACINO is the star. CRUISING is not a Columbia County movie or for that fact an Augusta movie. IT has special warning about the subject matter discretion is urged for younger audiences.
I have seen parents bring kids to R rated ,but what kind of parent would bring a child to this? {2009- it did do okay, but not a long run}.
COLUMBIA TWO we have LOGAN'S RUN. Picked it up from MASTERS 4. I guess one day i will get over us getting their films. Doesn't seem to bother anyone else. I am not impressed with this flick.
Like i said earlier i can not believe a major chain doing such a thing. Yeah, Drive-ins would break in on the sound during the second feature to announce the food stand was closing. Never heard of such a thing. Has anyone else?
In 1973 PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID does great business. HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER also played there, but it was BONNIE and CLYDE that really sold tickets.The Projectionist,Bill Barkley said when he first saw this film it like something he had never seen before with all the films he had played. He was so impressed he put together a book covering this epic film. To Bill, politics once again in the OSCARS kept BONNIE and CLYDE from Best Picture.
Bill told me IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT was nowhere in league with BEATTY and DUNAWAY.
Yes,the theatre took three rows at least off the back house right side for sound and video production.
1974 I was happy Mr.Mackey booked A MAN CALLED HORSE for a late show he asks me often about what to play on our late shows.So far i am batting close to 100% Chewy doesn't care and he should take more interest since he is the head doorman.
I just dropped by and caught TAXI DRIVER playing {IMPERIAL} I have heard alot of people upset with the violence. I thought DEATH WISH was violent,but this is rough.And the lanuage.I think this movie must have came close to getting an X rating. I don't think this could play at my place.{COLUMBIA 1 and 2}.
Bill, I left a comment on the 200 highest grossing theatres.A little insight from the theatre business.
I knew several managers that would resale tickets not to mention how many doormen and box office girls would do the same thing. 99% of the time they don't want the stub anyways.
COLUMBIA ONE we open to pretty good crowds with CAPRICORN ONE. It was about a fake landing on Mars. I enjoy sitting down in slow periods and watching it. { years later i met HAL HOLBROOK a co star in the movie and asked him about it.He could not remember what i was asking about.Goes to show you. For an actor it is hit your mark and say your lines. The fans expect so much it seems.}

WHITE LIGHTING plays here i it saw with my best friend PERRY DUGGAR. His mom a fine southern church going lady took Perry,his sister and older brother to DANIEL VILLAGE to see the movie PAINT YOUR WAGON. She thought the GP RATING was for kids. I ended up explaining to her that GP is not for kids. I bet was 12 at the time.Some things you never forget.
DEATHRACE 2000 has kicked butt.It is a ROGER CORMAN film and these West Augusta moviegoers are eating it up. It just seems like it outta be at WEIS CINEMAS.
Tampa- FLORDIA STATE THEATRES is building Flordia's indoor- outdoor theatre complex by adding a 1.000 seat theatre on a site adjacent to the HILLSBORO DRIVE – IN. The new theatre will known has the HILLSBORO ONE.
When its indoor half is ready for operation next summer, the drive-in will be renamed the HILLSBORO TWO .IT is on the Hillsborough ave. near Dale Marby Highway.
The indoor theatre , designed by Jacksonville architect Robert Broward,will incorporate all the latest theatre items.And Design. It will be able to show virtually every size and type of motion picture being produced.
Bob Harris, FST District manager, said that a unique traffic pattern is being worked on for the dual theatres which include a large, landscaped and brightly lighted parking area for the HILLSBORO ONE without interfering with operation of its outdoor counterpart.
The drive – in , built in 1941 as Tampa's first outdoor theatre will be remodeled before the indoor theatre is open.
From BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE Southeast edition FEb 10 1969.
Nick, hope you enjoy this added to your GREAT article.Hope it makes up for ALL the theatre stories you help me with. Glad i save old theatre magazines, found that one in the old MILLER theatre.
I made a mistake I was fired Nov.9 1980. Glad i kept a journal.
Hey, at least i loved the business enought to jot down the 1970's.
Noticed in my COLUMBIA SQUARE 1 and 2 journal that WEIS DRIVE -IN is playing SIDEWINDER ONE with C.C. and COMPANY with ANN MARGRET and JOE NAMATH. Might be one time the second feature is better? C.C. released in 1969?
COLUMBIA SQUARE CINEMAS is playing DAY and DATE with a South Augusta DRIVE-IN.
Just got the news we are getting "10"I hear it has an R rating. Set for COLUMBIA TWO.BO DEREK stars . I hear she is the next RAQUEL WELCH.
