by SNS Herning
Warm and cozy navy blue sweater that will keep you toasty no matter the weather!
S.N.S. Herning was founded in 1931 and the sweaters are decorated using a knitting technique that creates 'bubbles' and increases the insulating capabilities of the garment. It was with this 'bubble' technique that the Fisherman sweater was first manufactured 82 years ago, made specifically to protect its wearer from the rough weather at sea, and to be robust enough to withstand the wear and tear from hard work.
The Fisherman sweaters are still being knitted in the factory in Herning, Denmark, with strict rules for the layout of the bubble pattern, the cut, the measurements, the finishing etc.
More knits have naturally been added to the repertoire over time - but they all relate more or less directly to our original knit in terms of functionality, aesthetic, underlying technique, texturing, or simply that hard to describe feel.
All knits can be thought of as members of a family - sharing the same forefather.
Material: Pure, new virgin wool.
Size: Choose between S, M, L and XL
Colour: Navy Blue

This hike is 10.5 miles roundtrip with an elevation gain of ~2200 feet. Get amazing meadow views at Bald Mountain. When you cross the outflow from Glisan Glacier, the meadow provides great campsites. Duration: Half day or overnight if backpacking
The hike to McNeil Point begins at Top Spur Trailhead, in the Mt. Hood National Wilderness. Follow signs for McNeil Point along the Pacific Crest and Timberline Trails heading north.
Though there are numerous camping opportunities along the way (most of the route follows the PCT), an old stone shelter greets backpackers at the Point itself, with stunning views of the sun setting over the Coast Range. Wildflowers bloom in July and August.
If you're looking to camp, a great spot is after crossing the outflow from Glisan Glacier. The water flow helps create a lush environment in the surrounding meadow.

Beautiful, but crowded
I absolutely love this place. I visit it many times a year and hike on to the Sandy Glacier Ice Caves. The hike is beautiful and scenic but there are usually lots of people on the trail. I recommend this trail to everyone

Initially the piece was commissioned for Limen, an exhibition of performance exploring our experience of the Real. It was first performed at TripSpace Projects in collaboration with the Hayward Gallery, South Bank, London. This gave us a platform to start working together and present a work in progress.
Tired and confused with the multiple layers of reality that the contemporary world offers (phones, virtual windows, endless amounts of new information and virtual connections) we got together and decided: what would it be if we became astronauts of our own planet? What if we re-approached our bodies and the space as if we did not know how they function anymore? Looking for ways to be curious again, to find new relations from the micro to the macro, from our own skin, hair, organs and limbs to others and the space that this all takes place in. We created a sound score naming places in the body and places in the space. The sound score functions as a thread to connect parts of our bodies to the space and other bodies, animals, objects and all materials existing in the room. Every time this performance takes place we make a new sound score to be site specific to the chosen location.
In our performance score we have set material and improvisation. We use improvisation as a tool of research and connection to real time experiences . To be present, to be able to create a new performance each time, a new relation to each individual person reinforcing audiences and their power of real time action.

On 5 March 2020 South Oxfordshire District Council (SODC) reluctantly accepted its Local Plan, after being told by the Housing Minister that they legally had to take it forward. They will submit it to government inspectors to make sure it is legally sound, and the process must be complete by December 2020:.
- Oxford Mail, 7 March 2020:
"South Oxfordshire District Council forced to accept Local Plan despite fears over new housing"
This Plan encroaches on the Oxford Green Belt and includes building over a thousand houses to the north of the Bayswater Brook, which stretches from the Marston flyover in the west to Bayswater Road in the east. Although technically outside the city, much of this land was once considered to be part of Headington. It lies immediately to the north of the Barton Park development and Barton itself, and will swallow up the last three old surviving farms of Headington: Wick Farm, Stowford Farm, and Lower Farm (formerly known as Barton Farm).
The remains of Bayswater Farm to the east of Bayswater Road was also included in the SODC Local Plan, but not in the Scoping Opinion application.
Detailed planning permission has yet to be sought.
The lost battle to stop the Local Plan
In the local elections of May 2019 the Liberal Democrats took control of SODC away from the Conservatives largely because of the unpopularity of their Local Plan. In October 2019 the new administration appeared to be on the point of withdrawing the plan, but the Government intervened. Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick wrote to the council leader Sue Cooper just before the SODC meeting on 10 October 2019 ordering them "not to take any step in connection with the adoption of the Plan, while I consider the matter further". He wrote a second letter on 7 January 2020.
On 12 February 2020 Oxfordshire County Council decided to accept the possible government invitation to progress South Oxfordshire District Council's Local Plan 2034, and the battle ended on 7 March 2020.
Preliminary work already started by Christ Church
Before any work goes ahead, an archaeological survey has to be made. This started in mid-March 2020 but may now have been halted by coronavirus. This photograph, taken on 24 March 2020, shows one of the new trenches flooded with water, probably from an underground spring:
Press reports and statements
- Oxford Mail, 7 March 2020:"South Oxfordshire District Council forced to accept Local Plan despite fears over new housing"
- Oxford Mail, 11 February 2020: "South Oxfordshire Local Plan takeover agreed by county council"
- Statement by SODC leader dated 11 February 2020 to Oxfordshire County's decision
- Oxford Mail, 6 September 2019: "Council told it must build homes if it wants to keep millions of pounds of funding"
- Oxford Mail, 10 October 2019: "Government tells SODC it cannot scrap its Local Plan as planned tonight"
- Oxford Mail, 12 October 2019: "Boos during key South Oxfordshire District Council Local Plan meeting"
- Oxford Mail, 16 October 2019: Layla Moran: "Government homes intervention is a disgrace"
- Oxford Mail, 17 October 2019: "South Oxfordshire council 'in limbo' after minister housing decree"
Ownership of the land
Christ Church bought the farmland between Elsfield and Marston/Headington after the First World War and at the end of 2018 also bought the land to the east as far as the Bayswater Road. The college registered the land under following two companies:
- Thomas Wolsey Property Ltd (incorporated in Cambridge on 24 November 2017)
Its directors are The Very Revd Martyn Percy (the Dean of Christ Church); James Lawrie (Treasurer of Christ Church); and M & R Secretarial Services Ltd.
Classification: Other business support service activities not elsewhere classified
- Wick Farming Ltd (incorporated in Oxford on 20 September 2012 when the farm was bought by the Aubrey-Fletchers)
Its registered office is now The Treasury, Christ Church, and on 8 December 2018 James Lawrie (Treasurer of Christ Church) and Keith Stratford (College Accountant of Christ Church) were appointed directors (in place of Harry Buchanan Aubrey-Fletcher, Sir Henry Egerton Aubrey-Fletcher, John Robert Aubrey-Fletcher, Thomas Egerton Aubrey-Fletcher, and the solicitor Peter Robert Michael Bond).
Classification: Growing of cereals (except rice), leguminous crops, and oil seeds
The South Oxfordshire Local Plan
The entire South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011–2034 can be viewed here as a PDF, but as it is very slow to load, the relevant extract relating to the Bayswater Brook site (pp. 68–73) is reproduced below:
Land north of Bayswater Brook
4.107 Land north of Bayswater Brook directly adjoins the eastern boundary of Oxford City. The site is entirely within the Oxford Green Belt. The Local Plan proposes to inset this site from the Green Belt. The exceptional circumstances for doing this are:
- The site's proximity to major employment locations and a wide range of services and facilities means that there is high potential to support travel by walking and cycling;
- The site is well positioned to connect with public transport provision in Oxford City; and
- The development of this site will help to provide for Oxford City's unmet housing need, including affordable housing need, close to where that need arises.
4.108 The western and northern parts of the site are within a highly sensitive landscape, with views to and from Oxford's historic core, as well as having strong connections with surrounding countryside. The western and northern parts of the site are of particular significance to Oxford's historic setting. Built development should avoid these sensitive areas and should instead be focused on the lower lying ground on the south and east of the site, which has a greater likelihood to accommodate acceptable development in landscape terms, as it is less visible from the wider area and has higher potential for mitigation to be achieved.
4.109 Development focused on the lower lying ground on the south and east of the site must be sensitive to the listed buildings within and surrounding the site, including their setting, as well as being sensitive to the site's archaeological potential. Appropriate detailed landscape and visual impact assessments and heritage impact assessments that demonstrate how harm to heritage assets, landscape and Oxford's historic setting will be avoided must be provided as part of any planning application.
4.110 A designated Oxford viewcone lies directly to the west of the site. This area is safeguarded for access only and is not proposed to be inset from the Green Belt. Other built development within the Oxford viewcone would harm the rural nature of this historic view. The layout and design of access arrangement in this area should be sensitive to the Oxford viewcone.
4.111 Sidlings Copse and College Pond SSSI and Wick Copse Ancient Woodland are located directly to the north of the site. These are fragile sites comprising rare habitats which could suffer under increased visitor pressure. Other potential indirect impacts of development, such as impacts on hydrology and air pollution and nutrient deposition, also need to be considered and managed.
4.112 The Bayswater Brook runs along the south of the site. Areas of Flood Zone 2 and 3 should be preserved as accessible green space, with built development restricted to Flood Zone 1.
4.113 The Bayswater Brook is designated as a Site of Local Importance to Nature Conservation in the Oxford City Local Plan. Existing habitats associated with the brook should be protected and opportunities for enhancement should be pursued. The adjoining Barton Park development proposes a linear park alongside the Bayswater Brook as a buffer between the watercourse and built development. There is an opportunity to mirror this with complementary provision on this site.
4.114 Whilst the site directly adjoins Oxford City and is within relatively close proximity to employment locations and a wide range of services and facilities, the A40 is a major physical barrier to connectivity, particularly in terms of walking and cycling. Development would need to provide on-site and off-site pedestrian, cycle and public transport to Oxford city centre and other key employment locations (such as the John Radcliffe Hospital and Oxford Science and Business Parks).
4.115 Road capacity to the east of Oxford is already under significant pressure, particularly along the A40 and the Headington roundabout. There is currently insufficient road capacity to support new, direct road access between the site and the A40 west of the Barton Park site.
4.116 The English Indices of Deprivation 2015 identified the adjoining area of Barton as being within the20% most deprived areas in England. Barton is identified as a priority regeneration in the Oxford City Local Plan. Development at Land North of Bayswater Brook has potential to support regeneration aspirations for Barton by increasing the viability and contributing to the improvement of existing services and facilities and by providing new accessible services and facilities.
4.117 The site is located in an area of archaeological interest, within an area of a known Roman settlement. Deposits include the line of a possible Roman road as well as a number of possible Roman settlement sites. Land North of Bayswater Brook is also immediately adjacent to the site of Headington Wisk [sic] Roman Villa. Any surviving aspects of the Headington Wisk [sic] Roman villa site or related high status Roman settlement could be considered to be of similar significance to a scheduled monument.
4.118 The Grade II* listed Wick Farmhouse Well House is located within the site boundary. This listed building is currently included on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register. Development at Land North of Bayswater Brook provides an opportunity to improve the condition of this listed building.
Policy STRAT13: Land North of Bayswater Brook
Site area: 112ha hectares [= 277 acres]
1. Land within the strategic allocation at Land North of Bayswater Brook will be developed to deliver approximately 1,100 new homes and supporting services and facilities within the plan period.
2. Proposals to develop Land North of Bayswater Brook will be expected to deliver:
(i) affordable housing provision and mix in accordance with Policy H9;
(ii) development densities in accordance with Policy STRATS;
(iii) sufficient educational capacity likely to be a 2-form entry primary school including early years provision, appropriate contributions towards an off-site secondary school and Special Educational Needs (SEN);
(iv) sufficient contributions towards enabling primary healthcare services to address patient growth association with the development, as set out in the infrastructure Delivery Plan;
(v) provision of convenience floorspace that meets the day-to-day needs of the local community only without impacting on the vitality and viability of existing centres in accordance with Policy TC2 – Retail Hierarchy;
(vi) all necessary transport improvement as set out in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan, which is likely to include:
a. provision of high quality pedestrian, cycle and public transport access and connectivity to Oxford City Centre and other major employment locations, particularly the John Radcliffe Hospital and Oxford Science and Business Parks;
b. provision of sustainable transport connectivity improvements to overcome severance caused by the A40 Oxford Bypass; and
c. provision of all necessary highways infrastructure as set out in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan, which is likely to include a new road access between the site and the A40/B4150/Marsh Lane junction, and either a new road link between the site and the A40 between the Thornhill Park and Ride junction and the Church Hill junction for Forest Hill, or significant upgrades to the existing A40 Northern Oxford Bypass road including at the A40/A4142 Headington Roundabout. If more detailed evidence indicates that the preferred mitigation is a new link road, land will need to be identified and secured for delivery of this in consultation with the land owners and County Council;
(vii) a schedule of works as agreed with the Council for the repair of the Grade II* Wick Farm Wellhouse identified on the 2018 Heritage at Risk. This is to be agreed prior to the determination of an application for development. An application for planning permission must be accompanied by an application for listed building consent for the works to the Wellhouse; and
(viii) a development that ensures that there will be no demonstrable negative recreational, hydrological or air quality impacts on the Sidlings Copse and College Pond SSSI.
3. The proposed development at Land North of Bayswater Brook will deliver a scheme in accordance with an agreed comprehensive masterplan taking into consideration this policy's inclusive concept plan. The masterplan must be prepared in collaboration and agreed with the Local Planning Authority. Proposals will be expected to deliver a masterplan that has been informed by detailed landscape, visual, heritage and ecological impact assessments and demonstrates an appropriate scale, layout and form that:
(i) focuses built development within Flood Zone 1 only, with areas of Flood Zone 2 and 3 preserved as accessible green space
(ii) respects listed buildings and structures, both within and surrounding the site, and their settings;
(iii) ensures appropriate highways and sustainable transport access and permeability across the site, including between Bayswater Road and the B4150 Marsh Lane/A40 junction;
(iv) provides a permanent defensible Green Belt boundary around the allocation and a strong countryside edge;
(v) retains and incorporates existing hedgerows and tree belts, particularly where this assists with the creation of a new Green Belt boundary;
(vi) relates to and connects with adjoining built development and development that is planned within Oxford City;
(vii) respects and avoids harm to Oxford's historic setting;
(viii) minimises visual impacts on the surrounding countryside;
(ix) provides a network of green infrastructure that:
a. retains and incorporates areas of functional flood plan and existing surface water flow paths;
b. protects and enhances existing habitats, particularly those associated [with] Sidlings Copse and College Pond SSSI and the Bayswater Brook;
c. connects with adjoining green infrastructure within Oxford City;
d. retains and incorporates existing public rights of way and supports movement through the site and into adjoining areas by walking and cycling; and
e. provides an appropriate buffer to the Oxford viewcone.
4. An archaeological assessment will need to be undertaken before the determination of any planning application for this site. Following this assessment, a scheme of appropriate mitigation should be established, to include the physical preservation of significant archaeological features and their setting where appropriate.
5. The number and phasing of homes to be permitted and the timing of housing delivery linked to the planned infrastructure need to be informed by further evidence as per the requirements of other policies in the plan including Policy TRANS4. This will be agreed (and potentially conditioned) through the planning application process, in consultation with the relevant statutory authority.
Scoping Opinion
On 3 April 2019 the Pegasus Group (on behalf of Christ Church, Oxford) submitted a request to SODC for an Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Opinion for the construction of up to 1,100 residential dwellings, local centre, primary school, and associated infrastructure on all the college's land to the north of the Bayswater Brook, Oxford. The site plan does not match that in the SODC Local Plan, as it does not include the land to the east of the Bayswater Road. This Scoping Opinion was formally adopted by SODC on 27 May 2019:
- Adopted Scoping Opinion P19/S1122/SCO
- Petition against this development
- Oxford Times, 18 April 2019: "Questions over city's new 1,100 Green Belt homes"
- Insider Media: "1,100-home Oxon scheme moves forward"
On 10 October 2019 Oxford City Council planners decreed that "No Decision Required - PUBREG/CONSLT" on the planning application submitted to them by the Pegasus Group relating to the Scoping Opinion: see 19/00924/CONSLT
Surveying of site
In March 2019 Brunel Surveys Ltd began to survey the site, starting near Marston flyover and working east. By 23 April 2019 the surveyors had reached Wick Farm, and the photograph below shows two of them surveying the file next to the Bayswater Brook on that day.
By 27 April 2019 the surveyors had reached the Wick Farm exit on to the Bayswater Road.
Bayswater Oxford website
Not currently relevant: the present proposal is for 1,100 homes on the whole site
In early 2019 Christ Church and Dorchester Residential Management produced the Bayswater Oxford development website. This gave three options for homes on the site: click on the links in the first column to see the detailed proposals and maps of the areas covered. The proposals have since been scaled down, with a proposal for 1,100 homes on the whole area covered by Option 3.
750–925 homes
On the Christ Church land to north-west of Barton Park, reaching as far as the Marston flyover and the road to Elsfield (from which the site would be accessed), plus a link to Barton Park at the east end
1500–1850 homes
Again on this Christ Church land but extending the above proposal further north and north-east. This option would also include a new Local Centre providing education and community facilities. This would provide an additional 750 homes to the 1,100 in the SODC Local Plan
2900–3250 homes
On the original Christ Church land and also the land of Wick Farm. This option would include a local centre, two new schools, a retail centre, a country and local park, potential student accommodation, and a cemetery. It would include 405 affordable homes and a further 105 homes for key hospital and university workers. "This option is deliverable within the 2033 plan period." The benefits to SODC include £5.6million p.a. estimated annual increase in Council Tax revenue.
For comparison, by 1977 there were 1,600 houses on the Barton council estate (less than half the maximum number of homes proposed for this Bayswater Oxford project), and Barton Park will eventually have 885 homes
On 5 February 2018 the Pegasus Group submitted an earlier scoping opinion request (P18/S0399/SCO) for the construction of up to 750 residential dwellings, a local centre, and associated infrastructure on their land. SODC responded on 23 March 2018, and this Scoping Opinion has been used to inform the content of the revised scoping request above.
South Oxfordshire District Council agreed on 5 December 2018 to add the Bayswater Brook site to its Local Plan. The draft plan discussed by the SODC Scrutiny Committee on Thursday 13 December (agenda and minutes). The SODC Cabinet examined the proposals on 18 December (agenda) to make a recommendation for consideration at the full SODC meeting on Thursday 20 December (agenda), where it was accepted:
- Campaign for the Protection of Rural England, 6 December 2018: "SODC stabs Green Belt in the back"
- Oxford Mail, 21 December 2018: "South Oxfordshire District Council accepts Local Plan"
- Oxford Mail, 28 December 2018: "Campaigners furious over planned Green Belt developments"
On 20 December 2018 South Oxfordshire District Council voted to approve the published version of its new Local Plan, and the six-week consultation closed on 18 February 2019.
Importance of the proposed development site
Wick Farmhouse, its two sets of gate piers, and barn are all Grade II listed. Its well-house is Grade II*, but is on the Historic England "Heritage at Risk" register because of slow decay. There are also the remains of a Roman villa near the farm.
- Roman remains found near Wick Farm
- Listed Buildings of Headington: Wick Farm
- Wick Farm well house on Historic England At Risk register
Stowford Farmhouse is Grade II listed:
The site adjoins Sydlings Copse Nature Reserve and College Pond, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest
Earlier publicity about two separate developments on this site
These date from the period before Christ Church bought the Wick Farm site from the Aubrey-Fletchers
Possible Christ Church development
The possibility of this development was first revealed in October 2013 when Christ Church wrote to Oxford City Council in 2013 to say that in the long term it would be interested in "exploring potential opportunities to work with the city council to bring forward land that could help serve and support the Barton strategic development site".
- Oxford Mail, 18 October 2013: "Christ Church land may link into Barton housing estate"
- Oxford Mail, 14 October 2016:"Plans for 3,000 homes on the northeast edge of Oxford could include housing and parking for hospital workers"
- Oxford Mail, 16 February 2018: "College reveals plans for 750-home estate right next to Barton Park"
- Oxford Mail, 10 March 2018:"Christ Church, Oxford, calls public meeting over 750-home plan"
Possible Wick Farm development
Harry Aubrey-Fletcher and his family (Wick Farming Ltd), bought the 280-acre Wick Farm site from Buswell's in 2012, and the adjoining Stowford Farm soon afterwards, and in 2017 announced their hope of building 1,850 homes there.
Wick Farm Ltd and would-be house-builder Berkeley Homes (Southern) Ltd (now Berkeley Strategic Land Ltd) also mentioned the possibility of building the following facilities on Wick Farm: (1) a 250-bedroom accommodation block for the new Oxford School of Nursing and Midwifery, (2) a 100-bed convalescent home for older patients to ease bed-blocking at the hospitals, (3) a car park for the hospitals with a shuttle bus, and (4) a 20-acre parkland cemetery next to the Crematorium, but some of these ideas now seem to have been discarded.
- Oxford Mail, 30 March 2017: "HOSPITAL SOLUTION: Plans revealed for key worker housing and extra parking on land outside Barton"
- Oxford Mail, 2 April 2018:"Wick Farm could be used to solve Oxford's housing crisis"
- Oxford Mail, 4 May 2017: "Fury in Barton at plan for 2,000 homes near estate"
In May 2017 South Oxfordshire District Council agreed that prior approval was not required for Aubrey-Fletcher's planning application for Wick Farm for "Change of use of agricultural buildings to storage of moveable storage containers" (P17/S1055/PDA).
On 7 December 2018 two members of Christ Church Treasury became directors of Wick Farm Ltd in place of the Aubrey-Fletchers, but not of Buswell's Park, which has wood-framed homes.

We just received this Milwaukee PACKOUT sample case and challenge to use the accessories to do the #CarbideGaunet. While drilling through some nail embedded wood or rebar a few hundred time sounds like fun we really wanted to see if these could handle something a little more challenging, like getting into a safe! Certainly those have to be tough right, are these new accessories tough enough to drill thought the locking mechanism or cut through the entire safe?
The answer is a scary yes, the new Carbide accessories will get you into a safe and do it very very quickly. Safe Cracking 101 with Milwaukee Carbide is shockingly simple. We also cut thought a 10lb dumbbell and attempted to cut a Diablo Carbide Recip blade but it vibrated violently and actually snapped the Diablo blade before it could make the cut.
While we plan to do much more in-depth testing with all of these new carbide accessories, our first impressions are that these are a huge leap forwards for Milwaukee fans. We have already seen carbide take over much of the bi-metal Sawzall blade and hole saw market with their 50x usage life but they are also 10x the price so not going to totally replace bi-metal in the short term.
The Milwaukee Carbide Ax Blades have been around for over a year and we expect to see the new Carbide Torch, Carbide Hole Hawg and Carbide Hole Dozers on shelves by early May. Check out all the Milwaukee Tools and Accessories at Ohio Power Tool!

Rap artist Trae Tha Truth has long been known for giving back to the community. Back in 2008 he was honored with his own day, 'Trae Day', by then Mayor, Bill White, for his many acts of community service to those less fortunate in his city. Each year that day has seen Trae hosting a free block party featuring donated school supplies, school immunizations, children's game and rides and a free concert by an impressive roster of local and nationally known artists. Taking that commitment a step further, Trae, along with his charitable organization, Angel By Nature (ABN), is to open an emergency children's shelter to temporarily house children who have ended up in the system while more permanent placements can be found. The official opening of the 3,000 square foot facility, built out to house 20-30 transitional children, ranging in age from newborn to 17 years, will take place on November 1st.
Trae was inspired to take on this lofty venture after becoming acquainted with Marilyn Gambrel; a former parole office turned non-profit founder who advocates for children of incarcerated parents through her No More Victims organization. After adopting the charity and being sworn in as an honorary member, Trae became intimately aware of the problems facing kids who through no fault of their own, ended up in a swamped system. He felt compelled to do something to help and the ABN facility was born. After discussing his feelings with Angel By Nature Supervisor, Roderick Batson, the idea was born and things were set in motion.
Although Trae recently dropped what is arguably his most important album to date, "Street King"; a project that features an A-list roster of cameos like Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Lupe Fiasco and Wiz Khalifa, he says this shelter is closer to his heart than all the fame money can buy.
"I'm more happy for this than anything I've done." Trae shares in a rare moment of excitement. "These kids are the world. It's bigger than me and it's bigger than the city."
Trae is adamant that his facility will be set up in order that the children who pass through it will find both physical comfort and emotional support upon arrival. The facility will be fully furnished, including computers, television, books and games. Support for the shelter has come from unlikely sources such as Texas Wire Wheels, who donated money to complete the facility's showers and Austin promoter Layne Schmerin, who is planning a concert in his city in late October with 35 percent of the proceeds going to Trae's shelter. Day-to-day operations of the shelter will be handled by Roderick Batson.
"The only bad thing is that it's an emergency shelter." Says Trae. "The kids will only be there a few days. Realistically, I can't adopt every kid. But this is a start. This is how we can help. I want them to feel comfortable when they're there. Sometimes they'll be placed with good families or new families that they don't know, but when they're there, I want them to know they are cared about."

The Day the Berlin Wall Came Crumbling Down
The Day the Berlin Wall Came Crumbling Down
What were you watching on Thursday, November 9, 1989?
Twenty-eight years ago, Thursday nights were dominated by NBC's "Must See TV" lineup of The Cosby Show, A Different World, and Cheers. I remember something else, though. For me, November 9, 1989 wasn't about watching sit-coms I enjoyed. It was about watching the most significant political moment of my lifetime: the crashing down of the Iron Curtain and the fall of Russian Communism, on television from my home in rural Iowa.
History was being made. Like the wall of Jericho, the Berlin Wall was coming down! The "evil empire" of the Soviet Union was crumbling before our eyes! The freedom revolution was being televised, and Americans, who had brought about this moment by winning the Cold War under the leadership of men like Ronald Reagan, had a front row seat. Now this was "Must See TV!"
A chiseled piece of the Berlin Wall on display in Congressman Steve King's office.
I will never forget watching as free Berliners used crowbars and chisels to tear down a wall built under the Soviet Union's hammer and sickle. As I watched, political commentators and journalists, people with names like Donaldson, Roberts, and Koppel, described the scene. They spoke of families reunified after decades of forced separation. They also spoke of the many killed throughout previous decades trying to flee from the Communist East to the Capitalist West.
But, as I watched, most commentators seemed unaware of, or unwilling to acknowledge, the larger point. What they missed, I saw clearly: the evil of Soviet Communism had fallen because people have an inherent desire for the preservation of their national and cultural identities.
In Europe, we saw this vividly as newly free Eastern Bloc nations emerged from under the thumb of their Moscow-backed puppet dictators. Some of these nations, such as the former Czechoslovakia, shed their established boundaries to split into smaller, more culturally distinct countries. Other nations, such as Ukraine or those in the Baltics, worked hard to establish their own, post-Soviet identity as fully recognized independent states. These nations were making it clear: they weren't going back to the Warsaw Pact.
Contemporaneously, in Asia, we also saw people yearning to overthrow the oppressive yoke of Communism. I have stood and prayed on the spot in Tiananmen Square where a solitary Chinese man defiantly stared down a column of tanks sent to kill those demanding a more democratic form of government. As I stood there, I realized that while freedom efforts in China were not as successful as efforts in Europe, a lot could be learned by observing Beijing's reaction to demands for freedom.
To preserve their totalitarian order the Chinese government launched a crackdown that continues to this day. This crackdown includes massive efforts to suppress Tibet's unique cultural identity as well as regular military threats to Taiwan's status as an independent nation. To keep their Great Communist Wall standing, Beijing must viciously attack culture and nationhood.
Communism, like most leftist ideologies, stands opposed to human nature, and its central tenets can only be artificially supported through vast suppression of traditional cultures and by squelching notions of nationhood. To protect and preserve the freedoms we in the West take for granted, we should not hesitate to use our unique cultural and national identities as both a shield and a spear against totalitarianism, whether that totalitarianism comes at us in the sheep's clothing of Marxist-Leninist Socialist thought, or the wolf's clothing of radical Islam.
I keep a piece of the original Berlin Wall in my office, so that I am always reminded of the important lessons we can learn from the freedom movement of the late 1980's and the early 1990's. If we are to remain free to exert our liberties and the rights bequeathed to us by God, Americans must never sacrifice the national and cultural identity that defines us as a unique and inherently exceptional people.

The Supro Super Alnico pickup is faithful reproduction of the high-output single coil pickup found in bridge position of the top-of-the-line vintage Supro guitars such as the Rhythm Master, Silverwood and Coronado archtop. Developed in the late 1950's as answer to Gibson's P90 pickup, the Super Alnico has one hugely overwound coil that gives it a focused midrange bite and top-end clarity of a single coil pickup. The original Super Alnico pickups were too big to fit in most guitars, but the new Supro Super Alnico pickups contain the same vintage spec magnet and coil wiring, fit into a standard Humbucker size.

Swara Bhaskar , who was lauded for her performance in 'Tanu Weds Manu', is once again gearing up to showcase her never-seen-before avatar, in her forthcoming flick 'Anarkali of Arrah'. The actress is creating a lot of buzz these days for her bold statements.
In her very daring act, apparently, the actress, refused to work opposite King Khan, Shah Rukh in one of his film.
Interestingly, who in the Bollywood would like to miss the opportunity of working with the romance king. But, yes exactly! this 'Nil Battey Sannata' fame actress, refused to play the character of Shah Rukh's mother in a film.
Swara, too had a long-time desire to work with SRK in a film and when the actress learnt that 'Tanu Weds Manu' director, Anand L Rai, with who she has worked earlier as well, is planning to team up with SRK for a film, reportedly, Swara too approached the director for a role in his film.
Reportedly, before approaching Rai, Swara placed her desire that she don't want to portray Shah Rukh's daughter or sister in the film, revealed the sources.
In response, Rai said all the cast of his films are already chosen and the only character left is of Shah Rukh's mother. Swara took Rai's offer just as joke and preferred ignoring it.

NTIA: More than 150 DTV Converter Boxes Certified
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration said it has now certified more than 150 digital-TV-to-analog converter boxes and more than one-third of those (63) contain analog pass-through capability.
The NTIA does not require the boxes to pass through an analog signal, which means the boxes without that function would have to be modified with an A/B switch or turned off to receive the analog signals that will still be broadcast by some low-power and translator stations.
The NTIA also established a cutoff date -- September -- for submitting converter boxes for certification to make sure that they can be tested and, hopefully, certified, before the coupon program ends. The last day viewers can request coupons is March 31, 2009. The last day they can be redeemed by retailers is July 9, 2009.
The NTIA said Thursday that 6.3 million converter boxes have been bought using the $40 coupons it has been mailing out to viewers.

Podcast - is A/B Testing Overhyped? A Conversation with Andrea Warner
Jack Maden | May 25, 2016
Jack Maden | May 25, 2016
A/B testing is a fundamental part of the conversion optimization process. It involves splitting traffic between two (or more) versions of a webpage to see which one leads to more instances of desired user behavior.
But, in the spirit of continually challenging what we do and optimizing the optimization process, we ask the following of testing: is it overhyped? Is it always the best option for businesses looking to improve their websites? Does it slow down innovation? Does it facilitate an online tyranny of the majority?
Or, is its place at the heart of conversion optimization fully justified?
We spoke to Andrea Warner about why she believes in testing.
Join the debate on Twitter, LinkedIn or in the comments below!

Here's An Update On Bear The Dog's Status
He was scheduled to be euthanized earlier this week. The story was shared several hundred times and now everyone wants to know where Bear the dog ended up.
The Hudson Valley never ceases to amaze me with its kindness and generosity. Every city has its faults but when push comes to shove we can always count on you to deliver.
Earlier in the week I came across a desperate post on Hudson Valley Craigslist pleading for someone to adopt or foster their elderly father's dog before it was euthanized. Knowing the area has such a love for pets and especially dogs I had to help share her story. The whole story can be found here, but here's a short recap.
"Hello...we are in desperate need to find someone who is willing to foster/adopt my dad's German Shepherd by tomorrow, Thursday, July 12th or he will be euthanized!!!"
Within just hours the story was shared over 200 times on Facebook and we got tons of responses. Thanks to your support and sharing the original post we've all helped ensure a home for Bear the young German Shepherd. I received a text yesterday that he'll be released to Trina & Friends K-9 Rescue in Bedford, NY.

Nevertheless, the list, based on my experience, is far from bad. The albums by MC Hammer and Linkin Park in particular are something I have always hated, and Hootie came out at the time I was giving up on commercial contemporary music as I had listened to right up until the FOX became a classic rock station in the early 1990s. (In that era, I recall the FOX "rockblocking the Stones" and my recording of the session becoming my staple listening during the early 1990s, during which I though Mick Jagger sang "Rap! Sugar/How come you're den's so dirty/Rap! Sugar/Just like a younger chook" and "Yeah/Yeah/Just like a pack of chooks"!)

Amidst all the rumors of Ranveer and Deepika weeding, Sonam Kapoor is following the footstep of her B-Town buddy Anushka Sharma and will tie the knot with longtime beau Anand Ahuja in May. The couple is going to have a close-knit wedding following a week of rituals. As per the report, 11-12 May will be the official day of marriage. Though there is no official confirmation from the Kapoor family, Sonam Kapoor herself liked a post on Twitter announcing the news.
All of the Sonam's friends from the industry along with her family are going to attend the event taking a break from their respective professions for a week. One of her close friends revealed to media that the maximum number of guests will be flying from Mumbai whereas grooms' family will start from the capital.
"Most of us are flying out of Mumbai. Anand's family and some of Sonam's relatives will probably fly from Delhi. The marriage and other ceremonies are being planned as a two-day affair. But, we have to leave room for some impromptu events. I'm planning to keep myself free for at least four days, not to forget the to and fro travel," the source added.
The main marriage ceremony along with the related rituals will take place in two days and there are planning for some surprise events. There will be an engagement ceremony also which will be attended by the very close relatives only.
"The date and venue for the wedding have been locked and mass bookings for flights are presently underway. Her dad Anil Kapoor is personally making phone calls to invite guests. There will be sangeet and mehendi ceremonies, followed by a traditional Hindu wedding. The nuptials will be preceded by an engagement ceremony attended by the family's inner circle but the venue for that is presently not known," revealed a source from the wedding planner team.

What is Chest Bone Deformity?
This deformity almost always shows up in puppies when they are born, and it may get worse or it could fix itself during growth. Your puppy's chest should form an outward curve, rather than a flat or sunken chest. Chest bone deformity is a deformation of the chest and ribs, which can cause a smaller space for the heart and lungs. This will lead to serious breathing and heart abnormalities, so the deformity should be treated as soon as possible. It the deformation is mild, there is usually no need for treatment of any kind, but you should set an appointment with your veterinarian if you suspect your puppy may be suffering from pectus excavatum or pectus carinatum.
A chest bone deformity is a genetic malformation in the chest. There are two types of chest bone deformities: pectus excavatum (funnel chest) is a separation of the sternum and cartilage, thorax narrowing, and unusually shaped ribs causing a flat or sunken chest. Pectus carinatum (pigeon breast) is a chest bone and rib disfigurement causing the chest to bow outwards into a point instead of a curve. Both of these disfigurements can cause serious compression of the lungs and heart.
Symptoms of Chest Bone Deformity in Dogs
Symptoms of chest bone deformity depend on whether your puppy has pectus excavatum or pectus carinatum.
Pectus excavatum
- Narrowing of the chest on one or both sides
- Flat or sunken chest
- Panting or heavy breathing due to compressed lungs
- Coughing
- Heart murmur
- Erratic heart rate from compressed heart
- Blue tint to skin and mucus membrane (cyanosis)
- Curving of the spine (scoliosis)
- Loss of appetite
- Throwing up food and water
- Losing weight
- Exhaustion
- Unable to walk
Pectus carinatum
- Bump or point on chest
- Chest that bows outwards
- Difficulty walking
- Breathing difficulty
- Disfigured limbs
- Umbilical hernia
- Dental problems
- Appetite loss
- Wheezing
- Vomiting
- Weight loss
- Inability to exercise
- Digestion problems
- Blue tint to skin and mucous membranes (cyanosis)
- Depression
Pectus excavatum is a genetic deformity of the chest bone, which causes the narrowing of the ribs and indented or flattened chest. Pectus carinatum describes the congenital deformity of the chest bone causing the breast to bow outwards.
Causes of Chest Bone Deformity in Dogs
Chest bone deformity is almost always a hereditary disorder, which shows up more often in males rather than females. Both pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum are already present at birth, but may not be visible until your puppy shows symptoms of breathing difficulty and failure to thrive. Pectus excavatum is much more common than pectus carinatum, which is quite rare in puppies. Those that are most affected by these disorders are:
- Boston Terrier
- English Bulldog
- French Bulldog
- Shih Tzu
- Pekingese
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
Diagnosis of Chest Bone Deformity in Dogs
If available, it is helpful to give your veterinary caregiver a complete medical background and history of illnesses of the mother and father of the puppy. The veterinarian will do a complete and comprehensive physical examination on your puppy to determine the extent of the deformity and whether it is causing the symptoms you have described to him. Although your veterinarian can usually tell just by looking at your puppy, he will need to get some tests done for a concrete diagnosis. These tests are:
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Packed cell volume
- Blood gas and chemical panel
- Glucose analysis
- Urinalysis
- Urine specific gravity
- Digital radiography (x-rays) of the chest and abdomen
- Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Echocardiogram (EKG)
Some other tests that may be done are an ultrasound to check for heart disorders, a CT scan and MRI to further investigate the chest deformity.
Treatment of Chest Bone Deformity in Dogs
The treatment that your veterinarian chooses for your puppy depends on which type of chest bone deformity he has and how severe it is. If the deformity is mild and is not compressing any major organs such as the lungs and heart, there is no need for treatment. The veterinarian will just want to monitor your puppy to make sure the lungs and heart do not become compressed as your puppy grows.
Corrective splints can be used if the deformity is not severe enough for surgery. Surgical procedure to remove the deformed part of the chest bone and replacement with a cast made of fiberglass. The cast will be made by fitting it to your puppy's chest and then attaching it to your puppy's sternum with sutures. This surgery is relatively new and is usually only done on puppies if they are over three months old and the deformity is severe.
Physical therapy is usually necessary whether your puppy has surgery or not. This kind of deformity can correct itself as the puppy grows so the veterinarian may suggest you wait and try physical therapy for a few months before getting splints or surgery. Antibiotics and pain medication are usually prescribed if the veterinarian suspects any kind of infection.
Recovery of Chest Bone Deformity in Dogs
An important part of any treatment is to follow your veterinarian's instructions and to bring your puppy back for check-ups. If surgery has been done on your pet, providing a quiet place to rest will be an important part of his recovery. As with any medical condition, be sure to contact your veterinarian if you have any concerns or feel that your dog is not well.
Chest Bone Deformity Questions and Advice from Veterinary Professionals
Has Symptoms
i have a 10 week frenchy and noticed that her chest bones sticks out very badly almost to a pointy shape and her ribs are very narrow. she pants quite alot especially when playing and when shes warm from snuggling in. shes start sneezing when shes napping and spraying very small amounts of fluid when doing so. ive noticed when breathing she inhales a very small breath but seems to have a bigger exhale if that makes any sense. when she is warm sleeping she tilts her head right back and pants quite alot which made me think she felt like she was smuthered which got me a little worried.. she is the smallest of the litter and is skinny and boney but not under weight. overall she eats well, drinks well even plays well and naps alot after her play time which describes a normal playful puppy to me but her chest and rib cage looks very dramatic how it sticks out.. when visiting vets they had never seen this before in dogs only in cats but not as dramatic as cillas. vet explained that cilla seems to be breathing from bottom half of abdomen rather than the top and explained that her deformity may have affected her diapgram or even a part of her spine but as i stated before she seems to be a normal puppy putting aside how her chest/breathing is and she walks and runs normal. i am very worried about cilla with vet not seeing this condition before and with her telling me what else her condition could have affected. vet explained when i return next week she will have a plan of action after she does her research on what she found after examning cilla.. hope i can find out a bit more information here to what i received from my vets to put my mind at ease as im automatically thinking the worst. thanks

I recently rescued a Basset Hound and I've noticed her ribs narrow on the sides then come to like a point. Is this normal in this breed? I notice that she breaths fast when shes asleep. I've never had a hound dog before and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about her breed.

I am a breeder of french bulldogs and we recently had a litter where 2 of our male pups have inverted chest. One is more severe than the other with one being slightly indented and the other feeling more like there is a deeper hole in the center of the ribs. The pups are 3 weeks old, almost 4. We suspect that it is the breeder male that has the deformity somewhere in his genetics. The male himself has a completely normal chest as do the mothers. This is the second litter weve had where one or more pups have had this problem. We dont want to continue a genetic line that is very prone to this deformity. Should we consider getting another male? Or would you believe that it would more than likely be the mothers carrying this gene?

We have a 9 yr old Shih Tzu. We have noticed in the last couple of days that her sternum seems to be protruding out. We haven't noticed it in the past. She does not show any signs of hurting, no shortness of breath or any other signs of pain. Is this something to be concerned about? Should we take her in to out vet? What causes a protruding sternum? Thanks Bernie
Thank you for your question. If you have suddenly noticed a protrusion on your dog's sternum, it may have grown quickly which may be of concern. The origin of the protrusion will determine the severity. It may be originating from the bone of the sternum, the cartilage section of rib meeting with the sternum or from the soft tissues surrounding the area. Depending on the location, the top (nearest the head) of the sternum has a protrusion called the manubrium and the bottom (nearest the hind legs) has a protrusion called the xiphoid process. Other protrusions (or lumps) may originate from the soft tissues, muscle or fat. I would recommend to visit your Veterinarian to ensure that it isn't the start of something serious. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
I am concerned about my 13 week old SBT puppy. Also has cleft lip, but no cleft palate. I've noticed she doesn't like to be picked up. Also the top end of her chest/rib cage is almost pointed. From side view it looks like it has a step almost where ribs drop down. She eats well, plenty of energy. Small as she had to be tube fed. Always been smaller than siblings. Vet at 6 wk check detected a heart murmur. Does this sound like a deformity like you have discussed.
Worried other mummy,
Thk you for any advice

I have a rescued dapple dachshund. He was in very bad shape when I got him and he has turned into the happiest puppy I have ever seen. Since I've had him he has a lump coming out of his sternum. It feels like it is apart of the bone that maybe just sticks out. I thought that as he put weight on it would go away, but it is still present. He is very active and hops anytime he gets the chance. I have noticed slight coughing that has more recently become more prominent. I have had him for a little over a month now and he was about 6 months old when I got him. Since he was so young could it be that the extreme malnutrition and possible inbreeding could be the cause of the lump? It doesn't seem to hurt him or slow him down at all.

I brought a male shih tzu just over a week ago he is nearly 10 weeks old took him to the vet for injections few days ago upon examination she told me he has pectus excavatum? I asked her what could be done but she didn't seem very positive..... He is eating well and playing well.... When asleep his breathing does seem a bit deep but I don't know if she's just made me paranoid.... I have booked in with another vet for a few days time..... For a second opinion.... I'm so worried at what could happen in the mean time :(

This evening, my boyfriend was sitting with our dog and noticed a lump towards the bottoms of his rib cage on his chest. It's soft, and doesn't seem to be causing him any pain or effecting his breathing. I didn't notice it until he told me so not sure how long it has been there. He had surgery for a broken right hind leg last week, so we don't know if it is relates to that or an independent issue. We have a follow up on Friday. Is it safe to wait until then for the vet to look at it or should we take him sooner?

I have a now 9 week old Shih Tzu. I noticed before we brought it home from the breeder, that it was the smallest one and that the rib cage has a curve outwards. It's a slim puppy and eats sparingly, but seems to eliminate well and plays for about 20 minutes before relaxing again. It snorts a lot and breathing seems labored, especially when picked up and carried by holding it's undercarriage. but overall, seems to be happy and normal puppy. The breeder told me that this will correct itself as it grows and the pinched nose opens up. Should I be concerned?
There are various different types of chest bone deformity in dogs, some which don't affect the day to day life are usually not concerning; others which may restrict the chest or have ribs separated can be more worrisome. I would take Bones to your Veterinarian to have them check the extent of the deformity and to get Bones his vaccinations if he hasn't received them yet. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
Thanks. We are scheduled for our next round of shots in 3 weeks and will do so. I guess what I really would like to know at this point (because we won't know for sure until he's tested and looked at by a vet), is whether or not these type of curves correct themselves if the pinched nostrils open up, or is this unrelated?

I have an almost 6 month old English Creme Golden Retriever. He has swimmer's chest as a puppy. He walks and runs just fine now but his chest never fully corrected. We know from the breeder that his ribs grew too closely to his heart and lungs and that it would impact his life. He breaths fast and hard and tires easily. We are just concerned things may be worsening because he is peeing in his crate often and coughing. He has always had a strong appetite and still does even with these new symptoms.

We just rescued a 3 year old daschund .. her rib cage is huge! She doesn't appear to be bothered by it but it's definitely abnormally large. Should I be worried?
Some ribcages (or other bones) may be deformed or enlarged. If the deformity doesn't seem to be causing any problems, I wouldn't worry about it and have your Veterinarian take a look at the next checkup, if you notice any breathing or movement problems, speak with your Veterinarian sooner. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM
I have a 6 year old male Dachshund. We have noticed he is "coughing" a lot and is breathing from his lower stomach more so than his chest.
We have ran various tests and taken him to specialist. He has been on prednisone and is being treated for a possible immune intolerance, but he continues to cough.
Last year he collapsed and had bruising on his lungs and bleeding. We watched our cameras back and nothing happened to cause this? The coughing started not long after this episode. I am sure that the base of his rib cage (that expands outwards) became more "flicked up" on the ends and was protruding more so than I recalled it ever.
The Vet didn't think much of my observation. It is just now I thought I would google if the ribs cage being funny and the coughing are connected and the more I read this post I feel it ticks so many boxes.
He has began to lose weight and when he coughs, it is either like he is struggling to breathe, honking or gagging as if to vomit.

Hello my pekingese-mix I have had for over a year has always had his chest pointed outward when laying on his back, he is a very happy dog. He never gets sick and never seems like his chest gets in the way of any activities or restricts him from doing anything he wants to. He is always running around and is very active. He doesnt have trouble breathing and the only 'symptom' if you will is his very small umbilical hernia which i am looking into also, and his hind legs very slightly go to the left while running but doesnt seem bothersome.I have been looking more into chest deformities and am wondering if it hurts him in any way I can not see, or if it is serious. Thank You.
If Max doesn't display any exercise intolerance or signs of pain it is most probable that it isn't affecting him. Umbilical hernias are common in dogs and the majority of the time they are comprised of fat which has passed through the umbilical opening, if intestine or other organs pass through it may lead to complications, many people don't correct hernias unless they are causing a health problem or a dog is having a different surgery (like neutering) and they add-on the hernia surgery. The hind limbs going to one side is common in small breed dogs, at your next Veterinarian visit just have your Veterinarian check his hind limbs for flexion and the patella for luxation. Regards Dr Callum Turner DVM

I have a peek-a pom. he is 1. he whole life he has had a very hard bone like lump around is rib cage. should this be a concern. It doesn't seem to be growing. Doesn't cause him pain.
If the chest deformity isn't causing any health problems, it isn't an emergency but should be checked by your Veterinarian at Chewy's next check up, an x-ray may be taken, the cause may be due to inflammation of the cartilage of the ribs; until you see your Veterinarian just keep an eye on the lumps and if there are any changes in size, development of breathing difficulties, loss of appetite or any other changes visit your Veterinarian immediately.
