Once a week throughout the month, a different member from Team StarKid is sharing behind-the-scenes insight and backstage scoop with Playbill.com in the exclusive blog "A Summer With the StarKids." Here is the third blog, one from Twisted actor Dylan Saunders.
Click here for the first blog from lyricist Kaley McMahon and here for the second blog from new company member Robert Manion.
My heart is full these days.
I feel so grateful to live in this era. I don't know that Team StarKid's story could have existed ten years ago. I try not to take for granted how easy it is to communicate, to share, to create and to present work nowadays. Because theatre and music are both such inherently communal experiences, they are — I believe — something that should absolutely be shared. That is ultimately how I define Team StarKid — a communal sharing of new work. And, that is why I love it.
At its core, StarKid is a collaborative effort. So many moving parts from so many people have to fall into place to create our finished product.
I can't believe that I've known some of the actors I work alongside for eight years (literally, one-third of my life!). It's mind-blowing. One of my colleagues and greatest friends, company member Joe Walker, was one of the first people I met in college — and we're still making plays together all these years later.
Because this group formed at the University of Michigan, each time we get into production mode, it feels more like a mad family reunion, rather than a traditional rehearsal process. It's amazing to watch this group grow. I walk up the aisle on a break from tech rehearsal to meet our undeniably talented costume designer June Saito, who's had a hand in every StarKid production since its inception. I watch as she stands together with new collaborators, music director Justin Fischer and actors Alex Grace Paul, Rachael Soglin and Robert Manion. I look up from our sound check to see director Brian Holden giving notes, book writers Nick Lang, Matt Lang and Eric Kahn Gale fixing props and organizing the front-of-house before we open the theatre doors — all friends whose work has inspired me ever since I saw them first create in college. I have grown to truly love that familiarity. It is unbelievable and unique and something that I know doesn't exist in very many places.

Update, 11:15 a.m., Nov. 8: Pinkberry will not be coming to Davis Square, at least not in the near future.
According to planning staff with the Zoning Board of Appeals, Pinkberry withdrew its application at the Board's meeting Wednesday night. It seems the Board was not inclined to grant permission to the frozen yogurt giant, so Pinkberry withdrew its application before it was officially denied.
Original story:
In the past three months, Davis Square has sprouted two new frozen yogurt establishments, and it looks like a third— Pinkberry—is on the way. All three yogurt places would be within about 320 feet of each other.
First came iYo Cafe, a self-serve frozen yogurt parlor and coffee shop that opened at the beginning of August at 234 Elm St.
Then, in October, came another self-serve yogurt place, Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt, which is having a grand opening event on Nov. 10, at 260 Elm St. (Or is it 258 Elm St.? Or 256 Elm St.? More on that later.)
Now Pinkberry, a global chain with more than 170 stores around the world, according to its website, is possibly moving into 263 Elm St., the storefront formerly occupied by Massachusetts Insurance Agency.
The Somerville Zoning Board of Appeals was scheduled to have a hearing about Pinkberry, which was seeking special permits from the Board, on Nov. 7. (Somerville Patch did not know the results of that hearing as of this posting, but ZBA staff was recommending approval.)
And don't forget that J.P. Licks, an ice cream parlor, is about 420 feet away from this yogurt nucleus.
Is there room for this much froyo?
Already, the sudden influx of frozen yogurt seems to have caused some tension in the square.
After Orange Leaf received permitting approval in July, iYo Cafe appealed the decision with the Zoning Board of Appeals, citing a discrepancy with the address. The original ZBA decision approved Orange Leaf at 258 Elm St., but the text of that decision also referred to 256 Elm St.
At a ZBA hearing on Sept. 5, which Somerville Patch attended, iYo's owner explained why he appealed that decision: It didn't have to do with the competition, which he said he welcomed, but rather the city shouldn't issue permits to businesses with incorrect and inconsistent address.
Eventually, Orange Leaf had to file a second application with the correct address, which is, apparently, " 256 Elm Street a/k/a 260 Elm Street, #103." Refiling the application delayed Orange Leaf's opening by over a month.
Now, Pinkberry's possible entry into Davis Square is causing some neighborhood complaints.
A post on Davis Square LiveJournal called on people to attend the Nov. 7 ZBA hearing to speak against Pinkberry. Among other things, the post says, "There is no 'need' for such a facility in the square with (3) shops (JP Licks, Orange Leaf, iYO cafe) with the same use all located within two blocks from each other"
The writer asked people to sign an online petition opposing Pinkberry in Davis Square. As of Wednesday afternoon it had 19 supporters.
What do you think? Has frozen yogurt gotten out of hand in Davis Square, or is there room for everyone? Where will you get your yogurt in Davis Square?

World Group. Invites students to examine the popular, political and private representations of indigenous and foreign women who lived on the Indian subcontinent during the 19th and 20th centuries. Explores the gendered politics of empire building, studies the invention of women's "traditions" (both English and indigenous), the social construction of Victorian femininity and "motherhood," Indian women's organization, resistance, activism and agency, legislative efforts to regulate the sex lives of subaltern populations and the personal politics of reproduction and intervention of the colonial state. Emphasizes how political power and impressions of gender are shaped in an interconnected and interdependent world. Spring of odd years. (GACO)(WRCO)

Massive increase in children's allergic reactions to food but misdiagnosis also on the rise
The rise in cases of childhood food allergy in the past 20 years is not just down to "wrong labelling" says NHS watchdog, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). The NICE report studied 1,000 children on the Isle of Wight and found that around 6% had a food allergy.
Though the NICE report did suggest self-diagnosis was a factor, there is a genuine increase in allergic reactions to foods such as cow's milk, dairy and eggs.
"This increase has been reported as evidence of over-anxious parents worrying unnecessarily about their children. But actually 6%-8% of all children in the UK with a genuine allergy is a huge number," said paediatric allergist Dr Adam Fox.
Poorer diets of processed and junk food and a lack of vitamin D have been linked to allergies. Doctors have also suggested that our modern, bug-free houses might be to blame for failing to introduce harmless bugs to babies in order to build up their immune system. Late weaning has also been put forward as a potential cause, with one study showing early exposure to cow's milk actually decreasing the chance of an allergy.
However, more research is needed to prove any of these theories.
If your baby is showing signs of an allergy, the best thing to do is visit your GP. Avoiding foods as a way of detecting intolerances should only be done with professional supervision because some food groups, such as dairy, are vital for your baby's development. Many infant allergies and intolerances disappear with age and it's worth reintroducing foods as your baby gets older.

What a fun giveaway...your cheese straws look irresistible...mmmmmmm.ReplyDelete
My favorite appetizer is baked brie :)
YUMMY!!!!! What a great snack. Thanks for sharing at Church Supper. Have a blessed week and see you next Sunday ~EMMReplyDelete
What a GREAT giveaway and I love cheese straws! My favorite appetizer is bruschetta, but guacamole and salsa with chips is a very close second! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Wonderful cheese straws. I am going to be honest we never make apps, not because we don't like them but I don't really know how to make them. When I grew up no one ever made them so I never really learned much about them. My kids love the restaurants that give you roasted garlic and bread as an app. We all go nuts for it.ReplyDelete
Those cheese straws look like the perfect snack! What a fun giveaway. My favorite appetizer is anything warm, gooey and filled with cheese!ReplyDelete
Looks like a lovely book, my fav would be any kind of chips and dips.....yummmReplyDelete

Marc by Marc Jacobs Werdie Camera Bag, $188 via Bergdorf Goodman
Rebecca Minkoff & Balenciaga – wow! When all one needs is a pair of sunglasses and an MP3 all year round, these two are elegant companions no matter the occasion but especially when grocery shopping.
No Celine trio??? Boooooo….
Sadly, no Celine for sale online! When we write a shopping guide, we try to pick things we can link our readers to for ease of shopping/drooling/stalking. The Trio is a GREAT addition to this list, though.
But really, why can't we buy Celine online and when is this going to be remedied?
Completely agree. It's just so much easier to purchase handbags online then having to deal with all the SA's at stores. I feel the same about Chanel too, why can't they just jump on the bandwagon?
The funny thing is, before the Luggage Tote hit really, really big, you could totally buy Celine bags online. I remember that Matches UK used to stock Luggage Totes on its site, in the first or second season that they were being made. It seems as though pulling the brand from the Internet was a marketing ploy to fan the flames once it became an It Bag. The rarer it seems, the more people want it.
"The rarer it seems, the more people want it." – and then you see so many rich folk and celebrities carrying it around and wonder, what's the big deal? :)
Take a look at Coach's cross body Classic Mini. Has room for an iPhone, credit cards and some cash.
I bought one in orange and I love it. At $118 the price is just right.
This bag is now 29.00 with free shipping
Yes, I've been using crossbodies pretty much exclusively in this heat.
Cambridge satchel is great too
So colorful! Very nice! I love this bags!
Coach has a really cute simple cross body. I forgot the name, but I got it in red and its adorable. $198 is pretty reasonable too.

I'm normally not one to like IPOs, but when the IPO is in a spin-off I pay attention. For the first time in a long while I tried to get in on an IPO a couple of weeks ago, CVR's spin-off of its nitrogen fertilizer operations (UAN). Darn you Charles Schwab for not giving me shares for some reason. Perhaps I was too late when I realized that it was actually offering them. What's not to like about a spun-off, nitrogen fertilizer producer that plans to pay a massive dividend in an era of high food prices?
Here's another interesting one, Tesoro is spinning off Tesoro Logistics in an IPO this week under the symbol TLLP. The new company plans to to "own, operate, develop and buy various assets involved in distribution, transportation and storage of crude oil and refined products." In short it's a pipeline operator, a sector which I like. Scheduled to begin with a quarterly pay-out of $0.3375/share, TLLP will have an initial yield of just under 6.5% at its IPO price of $21.
One thing that is a little scary about TLLP is that initially 96% of its business will come from its former parent company.
I haven't done nearly as much research on TLLP as I did on UAN (a lot good that did me other than earn me 15 CAPS points ;) ), but at first glance it looks interesting.

Eleven states held governors' races Tuesday. Democrats were defending eights seats, Republicans three.
In North Carolina, Republican candidate Pat McCrory bested Walter Dalton, the sitting lieutenant governor, CNN projected.
McCrory, who will replace outgoing Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue, would be the first Republican governor elected in North Carolina since 1988.

"There's no doubt that the Republican Party's strength comes from the states, and the RGA's ability to expand our majority provides optimism for the future," said Republican Governors Association Chairman Bob McDonnell.
With their expected wins in North Carolina and the states they were defending, Republicans will have 30 governorships nationwide -- the highest number held by either party since 2000, according to the governors association. The all-time high for the GOP was 34 seats in the 1920s.
Such an advantage will fortify the Republican position against Democratic policies like Obamacare, and give them influence in Washington, even with Barack Obama as president.
Going into the election, Democrats held 20 governorships to the Republicans' 29. Rhode Island is held by an independent.
In other races, CNN projected that Democrats will retain control of the governors' mansions in West Virginia and New Hampshire. The race in New Hampshire to replace a popular outgoing governor was one of the country's most competitive.
Democratic governors in Vermont and Delaware -- Peter Shumlin and Jack Markell -- won re-election, CNN projected. Similarly, Republican incumbents in Utah and North Dakota -- Gary Herbert and Jack Dalrymple -- were projected to win.
In Missouri, Democrat Jay Nixon became the first governor there re-elected to a second term since 1996, CNN projected. In Indiana, CNN projected that Republican Rep. Mike Pence will fill the shoes of outgoing Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels.
Here are snapshots of each race:
Gov. Jack Markell (D) vs. Jeff Cragg (R)
CNN has projected Democratic Gov. Jack Markell will be serving a second term, beating his Republican opponent, Jeff Cragg.
Delaware has become an increasingly reliable Democratic state and with the defeat of former Rep. Mike Castle in the 2010 U.S. Senate primary, the state now has no Republicans in statewide elected office. Cragg, a small-business owner from Wilmington was unlikely to change the GOP's fortunes, especially in a presidential election year with Vice President Joe Biden, a Delaware native, on the Democratic ticket.

The star-powered (but ill-fated) musical 'Nine' got a thumbs-down as the year's smokiest movie as part of the annual Hackademy Awards, named each year by Breathe California of Sacramento-Emigrant Trails.
"Direction of the star-studded PG-13 musical soared far above the wildest expectations of any cigarette marketer and totally beyond anything resembling historical context," the group said of Nine, which received the "Thumbs Down! Movie" nod. "There were so many smoking scenes packed into its nearly two-hour running time that reviewers had trouble keeping count."
The Thumbs Down! Actor award went to Nine lead actor Daniel Day Lewis for his portrayals of the "nicotine-addicted Guido Contini," the group said. Sigourney Weaver was given the Thumbs Down! Actress award for her role in "Avatar."
Positive nods went to Paramount Pictures' "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," named the Thumbs Up! Award winner. "Transformers was totally tobacco free, a refreshing surprise in the action thriller genre, and more evidence that the smoke is finally clearing in at least one corner of the entertainment industry," Breathe California said.

What is the follow-up care for colon cancer?
Follow-up exams are important for people with colorectal cancer. The cancer can come back near the original site, although this is unusual. If the cancer returns, it typically does so in a distant location such as the lymph nodes, liver, or lungs. Individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer remain at risk of their cancer returning for up to 10 years after their original diagnosis and treatment, although the risk of recurrence is much higher in the first few years. Doctors in the United States follow patients with physical examinations and blood tests including the CEA tumor marker every 3 months for the first 2 years and then with decreasing frequency thereafter. Patients are also followed with colonoscopies (starting 1 year after their diagnosis) and with CT scans (typically performed once yearly for the first 2 or 3 years).
If a recurrence is noted either locally or with metastatic spread, individuals may still be treated with the intention of cure. For example, if a new tumor were to recur in the liver, individuals can be treated with a combination of chemotherapy and surgery (or sophisticated radiation techniques) in hopes of eradicating the cancer completely. Evaluation in hospitals of excellence that specialize in liver surgery can help guide these complicated treatment decisions and increase the chances of cure even in the setting of metastatic disease.
In addition to checking for cancer recurrence, patients who have had colon cancer may have an increased risk of cancer of the prostate, breast, and ovary. Therefore, follow-up examinations should include these areas as well.
What does the future hold for patients with colorectal cancer?
In 2012, there will be an estimated 50,000 deaths from colorectal cancer in the United States, and the vast majority of these deaths will be unnecessary. Colorectal cancers are typically slow-growing cancers that take years to develop. Because they grow most often in a step-wise manner, screening can greatly reduce the likelihood of death associated with the disease. Whether with virtual colonoscopy or newer screening techniques, the future must focus first and foremost on better, more comprehensive screening programs that find polyps and early cancers before they become life-threatening. The public also must be educated on the value of screening programs.
For those living with cancer, intensive investigation is ongoing to better understand cancer biology and genetics so that specific approaches can be developed to attack specific types of cancers and, more importantly, specific individuals' cancers. Each person living with cancer has a disease with a unique biology and genetic code and the secret to better treatments involves unlocking that code. Cancer is very complex and scientists are just beginning to unravel its secrets. Progress is frustratingly slow for those battling the disease. With each passing year, however, our understanding increases and treatments become more refined. If you or your family member is living with colorectal cancer, speak with your doctor about ways you can participate in research to help increase our knowledge and improve our therapies for this difficult disease.

After 15 years of false starts, construction begins this week on what officials say will be a transformative housing project featuring live-work space for artists a few blocks from the state Capitol.
It's called the "The Wal" short for Warehouse Artists Lofts a mix of apartments, retail shops, restaurants and offices packed into two six-story buildings on R Street between 11th and 12th streets.
The dense urban concept is part of a years-long effort to turn the former industrial corridor into an arts and culture neighborhood.
"I think there is cool energy developing on R Street," said Ali Youssefi of CFY Development, the project leader. "It's our intention to add to that."
CFY, which turned the former Globe Mills plant in Alkali Flat into apartments, will team with Holliday Development of the Bay Area and the Capital Area Development Authority, or CADA, to rehabilitate a warehouse and couple it with a new building next door.
The two structures will house more than 150 residents in 116 apartments, featuring arts-related stores on the ground floor and a restaurant with outdoor seating at the 11th Street corner, to be run by the owners of Burgers & Brew.
The warehouse would feature rooftop barbecues, picnic areas, a community garden and a children's play area.
"The views of downtown are pretty cool," Youssefi said. "I think we should have rooftop uses on almost any building downtown."
The $42 million project was stymied for years due to financing issues and the recent housing downturn. It came together last year after CADA joined with CFY to win $18 million in federal tax credits. Another $5 million in funding comes from the state Department of Housing and Community Development.
About 75 percent of the 116 units will be rented at below market rate, the rest at market rate. Monthly rents are expected to range from $350 to $1,100.
A Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission study, commissioned by the developers, found that a large number of artists, musicians, dancers and others say they'd be interested in living there.
"Artists are looking for living spaces that are affordable and that have space to do their art," arts commission head Shelly Willis said. "There is a need in our community for this."
The project's heart and soul is a historic brick warehouse that once stored Model T cars. The building next door will be of like design, with lofts and two levels of hidden parking.
CADA official Todd Leon said the project, expected to open in late 2014, already is helping generate more entrepreneurial interest on R Street. He said he's taken recent calls from groups looking for sites to open beer breweries.
The corridor already has a theater, a Safeway-anchored retail center, and a mini entertainment district between 14th and 15th streets, featuring restaurants, bars, nightclubs and living lofts.
Developers plan to add to the street's offerings soon by turning a former state office building at 15th and R streets into restaurant and retail space. To the west, the Fox and Goose restaurant and adjacent properties have seen recent upgrades.

Throughout the UK there are lovely, problem-free dogs that have waited so long for a home only because they are regarded as "too old".
Often they will be no more than middle-aged. Dogs can live between 12 and 16 years and sometimes much longer. Although they take longer to home the homings are usually very sucessful because mature dogs are rarely any trouble.
This thread is for all rescues looking for a home for their golden oldies.

13 Year Young JRT Titch has come to teckels to seek his retirement home after his devoted 93 year young older went to hospital for major surgery and admited he wouldnt be able to offer Titch all he needs during his recovery time.
Young at heart and full of beans, Titch has a lot of love and fun to offer.
At Teckels we appreciate that many are often put off offering their homes and hearts to our elderly canine friends for fear of ever growing vet bills, for this reason, for this perfect little lad, we are seeking a perminant foster home, one where he can be the only pet and not have to share his new family with young children and one where her family can relax knowing we will cover any vet care needed.
If you feel you would like to know more, please call Joan at the sanctuary for a chat and an invitation to meet our most senior little man, 01452 740300

Nix* is 12 years old.
The poor chap has had a hard life from a pup, at 9 months he was hit by a speeding car & dragged down the road - this resulted in him loosing a front leg.
Nix trhought he was lucky to have an owner. I'm not sure I agree, he seems to have had a tough life. He has been plagued by a flea allergy caused by poor husbandry, he has a bald patch on his back. Also spent a large chunk of his life roaming the streets.
Then to cap it all his owner went and got himself into BIG trouble, and sent off to one of Her Majesty's Holiday Camps for several years, while poor Nix, who had committed no crime, was left homeless. Not one of his owners relatives was prepared to keep him, & a one way trip to the vets was arranged.
Nix is a lovely friendly old Gent, seems fit & healthy, but does have aslight heart murmour. He is great with other dogs. House trained.
All potential adopters will be homevetted and be expected to travel to Kidwelly, S.Wales to meet/adopt this gorgeous boy
If you are interested in Nix please send your enquiries, telling us all about yourselves and the lifestyle you are offering to;
firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone Fionna on 07976 538588 or Olga on 07954 137761

Debbie & Best 10 year old lurcher girls who must stay together! VET CARE FUNDED FOR LIFE BY GREYHOUND GAP
We are looking to find a very special home for Debbie & Best without other dogs where they can remain together. These girls are so well bonded and Best (Black and Tan) is quite a nervous girl but gets her confidence from following Debbie's lead.(White and Fawn) Greyhound Gap will remain responsible FOR ALL VETERINARY TREATMENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE GIRLS LIVES.
The girls came to us from a cruelty situation. They were being kept locked in a conservatory and only had mouldy food and no water at time of being taken.
Both girls are adorable. Debbie is a real people dog and gives you a full lip grin when you go to the kennel. Best is a bit more reserved and shy but soon comes round giving tail wags, licks and cuddles.
We are looking for a home without other dogs as Debbie can be a little protective over Best, she constantly reassures her and it helps Best to come forward and ask for cuddles. However, as Best is wary of other dogs Debbie will give them a warning growl and a chase away to keep them away from Best when she is visibly frightened. The girls have been together for 10 years and they are all each other has known.
Although both Debbie and Best are good with children we feel a home with older children preferably teenagers will be the most suitable. Debbie will like a active family live and I am sure Best will settle and enjoy it to but somewhere not to mad with to much noise or loud playing.
The girls are NOT cat friendly.
Debbie and Best are not the greatest travellers, as they have not been taken out its guestimated for the last 5-6 years they can be quite anxious and travel sick. This is something that will need to be worked on gradually and we are even willing after a succesful meeting at the kennels if necessary to bring them safely to their new home in the rescue van.
Debbie and Best are vaccinated, kc vaccinated, de flead, de wormed, microchipped and spayed and have been health checked. Debbie does have a lump and bump that we will be checking out this week, fingers crossed its nothing to worry about but if it needs dealing with as stated Gap will be taking care of it and any of either of their medical needs in the future.
The girls are currently in the kennels in Stoke on Trent and we are keen to get them out into a home environment asap!
If you are interested in offering the girls a home or foster home please in the first instance fill out our pre adoption questionaire on the link below....

Benjamin is undergoing a Two week assessment so will be available for rehoming on the date 01/10/13 applications are welcome as of now.
Little Benjamin (or Ben) came to Four paws from another rescue. He was handed in due to his previous owner passing away.
Poor Ben came into foster with us this afternoon, he is ever so confused bless him. He was in kennels in his previous rescue and seemed to be quite excited coming into a home!
Colin put him on the floor and he stood still for a moment then toddled into the kitchen. We then lead him into the living room, Lexie and Jasper where outside so Nia let them in. Unusually for Lexie and Jasper they didnt make a sound. They just ran up and sniffed him. Ben was ever so excited to have some buddies!
Jasper led the way out the garden again where Benjamin proceeded to go to the toilet (Yay!) Ben then came back into the house and walked around a bit then decided he needed another wee! Haha
Nia took Ben up for a bath (he was quite smelly) and he came down with such a wiggle!! All his white bits are now so white!
Ben is currently asleep in the basket snoring, bet he can believe his luck
Benjamin went for a walk with the gang! He was ever so excited. He was very well behaved having his harness put on, and walk walked nicely on the extendable. He trotted along with Lexie and Jasper, but when the lead ran out he came trotting back to me. He loves liver cake. Ben was confident out and about. He greeted all dogs nicely, and demanded to see a staff called Casper, who he decided to love.
We will update Ben tomorrow after his first night with us, so keep an eye on his thread for more up to date information about this dinky dude.
Update 18/09/2013
Ben had a reasonably good first night with us. He didnt do the stairs originally..so we put a bed at the bottom of the stairs...where he cried and howled intermittently. after about 15mins we heard a scuffling...then the crying was louder! Ben worked the stairs out! So we got out of bed, took him to one of the beds upstairs and then went back to bed. He was still crying, it wasnt as much as when he was downstairs, when Elinor had a brainwave, she took out her dressing gown that she had been wearing, put him in bed, draped it over him then tickled his chin before going back to bed. There was a few very little cries...then silence! Though the other dogs were there he just needed that extra bit of comfort. Nia came back from a party not long after he had settled, but it didnt take much longer for hm to settle down again...after chancing bunking in with lexie, who was having none of that!
He had a little wee in the bathroom...but that was because he hadnt quite mastered how to get down the stairs once he was up, which was also the cause of a bit of barking this morning, everyone went down without him! After being carried down the stairs once or twice, he decided he was doing it himself. He can now go up and down with no real issues! Who says you cant teach an old dog new tricks?
He is a very bright happy little boy, he follows you around the house. If you talk to him or give him a little cuddle his tail waggles so fast its a blur! He loves cuddles alot, when your tickling his tummy he sighs and sings to himself :-*
He has discovered livercake in a big way! He loves it He will form a cluster with the others in the kitchen just to grab a piece, he has just started sitting for us too! He is a little snatchy when he takes a treat, but we are sure this will calm down as he gets used to us. He is very fond of me and did growl at jasper when he came near to us this morning, at which point i stopped cuddling him and walked away. All of this will come with time, he is just trying to work out his place
He is a gorgeous little boy, if he were to enter a competition for the most appealing eyes he would win absolutely! And his little white muzzle is scrummy! This boy definately doesnt act his age! He is an absolute treasure
Please put in an application in the first instance if you are interested in Benjamin, Approved applications will be home checked.
Details of our adoption procedures and adoption application form are http://www.fourpawsanimalrescue.org.uk/ado...procedures.html

Go Back
Two years ago I wrote a Design Perspective on the overuse of banners and flags in package design. Originally, banners were heraldic devices that helped to identify various groups on a battlefield. They were a simple way to cut through the haze of war so that generals on the hills above could monitor the battle's progress; in essence, an early form of branding and identification. In the modern era, however, banners became a way for a brand to trumpet, "I am different; notice me!"
One historic heraldic device that today is widely overused in logo design is the shield. Most people are under the impression that, in battle, a shield is used only for protection. In fact, it can be a very effective offensive weapon. Over the years, the shield has famously appeared in logo designs for UPS, Harley Davidson and the Salvation Army.
Why does the shield wield so much power in American design? Road signs, sports companies, car manufacturers, beer brands, comic book heroes and food brands have all used the shield as a graphic device at one time or another. There seems to be several graphic interpretations of the same basic form, from the simple round to the more elaborate scalloped top. I would imagine that designers and clients alike – particularly in the health care and security industries – think that the shield represents security, trust and even value. But at the end of the day, what does the shield mean to the average consumer, particularly when its use is so commonplace that it has lost most of its value and meaning?
I'm not sure whether a simplified graphic interpretation of a device that is both defensive and offensive can articulate the right message for so many different industries, companies and products. Honestly, how many consumers would even know the difference between one shield form and another? Would a Spartan shield signify something different to the consumer than a Roman shield and link certain attributes with a specific brand? Probably not. Also, isn't a shield old-fashioned and outdated? So why then does this basic shape keep surfacing in so many industries? The next time you are out and about, count how many shield shapes you see. Once you start to recognize the shape, you will be staggered at how ubiquitous it has become – so much so that it has started to melt into the fabric of our visual society.
Frankly, I would avoid using the shield at all costs, as this tired, overused symbol has lost its value and uniqueness in all but a few brand categories.

An Indiana man is facing felony drug charges after Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers seized three-quarters of a kilo of cocaine, worth nearly $63,000, following a traffic stop in Preble County Wednesday.
Troopers stopped a 2007 Dodge Charger with Indiana registration for a speed violation on Interstate 70 eastbound near milepost 8 at 11:20 a.m. Troopers observed criminal indicators and a Patrol drug-sniffing canine alerted to the vehicle.
A probable cause search revealed three packages of vacuum-sealed cocaine inside two pairs of boots.
The driver, Eugene Graves, 33, of Indianapolis, was incarcerated in the Preble County Jail. He has been charged with possession of cocaine, which is a first-degree felony, as well as possession of criminal tools, which is a fifth-degree felony.
If convicted, Graves could face up to 11 years in prison and up to a $22,500 fine.

Question: I recently purchased a Samsung Blackjack II. I have had it less than a week...there is so much dust that has accumulated under the screen and it is driving me crazy. I carry it in a leather case all the time. Is there a safe way to clean the screen and once I do, how can I prevent this from happening!! I have never had this problem with other cell phones I have owned. Thanks so much!!
Selling your Blackberry or just want to get it back to it's original factory settings? Here's an easy way to do it using a built-in menu option.
Find the Settings folder on the main Blackberry screen, and select the following menus:
"Options" -- "Security Options" -- "General Settings"
In the General Settings screen, press the menu button (the button to the left of the track ball) and select "Wipe Handheld" from the popup menu.
Confirm that you want to erase all data on the Blackberry, and be sure to select the option to include any third party applications that you might have installed (e.g. Google maps or the Opera web browser).
As a final confirmation step, you'll be asked to enter the word "blackberry", and then the resetting process will begin.
It takes a minute or 2 to wipe a Blackberry clean, which resets it to the original factory settings and removes all address book entries, photos, videos, etc.
I've had my Motorola RAZR V3 phone sitting in my desk for about a year now, after upgrading to a Blackberry Curve (which I recently upgraded to an iPhone).
Figured it might be worth something to someone, so I put an ad on craigslist for $50 and was able to sell it the next day for $35. Not bad for a very popular phone that take camera pictures, shoots video, browses the web, and lets you text message your friends.
Before I handed the phone over though, I wanted to erase all of the pictures and address book contacts (preferably without having to delete them one by one).
The RAZR has a built-in menu option for wiping the phone clean and resetting it to factory specifications, with all of the default settings it came with out of the box.
Click the menu button, and then select "Settings" -- "Initial Setup" -- "Master Clear".
This will reset all the default factory settings for your Razr phone, and will also delete all user content. That includes pictures, address book entries, ring tones, text messages, the work.
You'll be asked to enter a security code, which is 000000 by default for AT&T phones (6 zeros).
If you only want to reset your Razr to default factory settings but not delete your data on the phone, then choose the "Master Reset" option instead of Master Clear.
The Master Reset option won't delete your address book entries or your photos.
The Master Clear option will completely wipe your Razr of all data (ideal if you're selling your Razr and don't want any personal files to be visible to the phone's new owner).

2014 DODGE DURANGO: As the full-size sport-utility vehicle (SUV) and crossover segments in the U.S. are showing tremendous growth, Dodge ups the ante with the new 2014 Durango, in five trim levels: SXT, Rallye, Limited, R/T and Citadel. Since Dodge re-introduced the Durango in 2011, it has continued to deliver excitement and refinement with world-class suspension and performance. For 2014, the Dodge Durango rear-wheel drive presents outstanding on-road driving performance. Available all-wheel drive (AWD) further enhances driver confidence by leveraging the SUV's 50/50 weight distribution. Actually, there are two AWD systems – one for the 360 horsepower 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 and one for the 290hp 3.6L Pentastar V-6 powered models. This year, all Dodge Durango feature Chrysler Group's new eight-speed automatic transmission with rotary shifter and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters as standard equipment. On models equipped with the Pentastar V-6 engine, the Durango can tow up to 6,200 pounds. When coupled with the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine, the Durango offers trailer tow capability of up to 7,400 pounds – more weight than a 24-foot boat and trailer. Second-row captain's chairs are offered for the Durango, as well as nappa leather with ventilated front seats on R/T models. With standard seven-passenger seating and luxurious second-row captain's chairs available on all models, the seats in the 2014 Durango can be converted to as many as 50 different configurations. There are more than 30 storage areas and a rear payload room of nearly 85 cubic feet that fits a six-foot couch with room for a coffee table. Obtainable technology on the Durango R/T and top-of-the-level Citadel is blindspot/rear cross path detection, as well as features such as Uconnect Web and rear-seat DVD entertainment system. There are eight exterior paint colors to select from including two new shades, Deep Cherry Red and Bright White. Dodge Durango is built at the Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit.

Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
This horn was to replace my 1970 King Silver Flair which I've played for 44 years! When it arrived and I took it out of the wrapping paper, the bell was bent! Upon inspection, the horn felt very substantial and balanced. The silver plate had some blemishes near the bell, and I immediately noticed the solder ring around the bell, indicating that the bell was a cheaper, two-piece bell rather than the advertised hand made one piece bell. I compared the playability of the Amati with my old King by playing many passages first on one horn, then the other, using the same mouthpiece. I could tell no difference or improvement in my playing, tone, articulation, range, or in any other parameter, tangible or intangible. The main difference was that the Amati weighed more! This would probably be a good starter or intermediate horn, but does not rate the "professional" moniker. Perhaps my old Flair plays very well!
This heavy trumpet has a beautiful dark tone, excellent projection, and is a joy to play. I tried it with many mouthpieces from my collection, and the sound is especially luscious with the Bach mouthpieces. I'm using the Bach 10-1/2C with it, whereas I had been using a Giardinelli 10B with another lighter, brighter instrument. In the past 37 years, I have owned and played many, and I like this better than my Schilke and Yamaha pro horns. In sound and playability, it most closely resembles the Mt. Vernon Strad I played in college. I hadn't heard of the Amati brand, bought based on reviews of it and the Giardinelli 812, which is essentially the same horn re-badged. I'm very pleased.
My Amati has an exception silver plated finish with the top and bottom caps of brushed silver...real cool. The heavy bracing is also exceptional. The horn isn't all that heavy, even for a person in his eighties. Having owned many brass instruments in past years, I can truthfully state that this horn is as good as any and better than most and costs less than most. I have come to respect the Amati workmanship and most reasonable prices. Their quality extends to woodwinds also, some of which I have purchased for schools.
This is an outstanding all around instrument; intonation is right on; the quality is excellent and it is an easy blowing horn; I like this trumpet as much as my Strad and it allows me a three half step higher range.
This trumpet was an impressive purchase and was even better playing it. I can't believe how much easier it is to play than my old trusty yamaha. I think it has alot to do with the mouthpiece, it is definately comparable to a Monette! I Highly recommend it!

Supporters and opponents of Georgia's charter school amendment, on the ballot this November, pleaded their cases at a voter info forum held at Johns Creek High School, Tuesday evening.
Amendment 1, or HR 1162, would give a state-appointed commission authority to authorize and fund state charter schools if voters approve the legislation, or vote "Yes," on Nov. 6.
Supporters of the amendment say it creates another avenue for charter start-ups; charter applicants have more flexibility on where to locate; and parents will have more local control.
Opponents of the legislation say it creates another level of bureaucracy; state charter students would get more funding than students in traditional or local charter schools; and parents will not see their choices significantly increased.
Representing the "No" vote at Tuesday's forum were Appen Newspapers' Hatcher Hurd, PTA consultant and education policy specialist Sally Fitzgerald, and North Fulton PTA Legislation VP Diane Jacobi.
"[The amendment] takes decision-making away from the citizenry," Fitzgerald said.
Representing the "Yes" vote were Gwinnett businessman BJ Van Gundy, State Rep. Lynne Riley (R-District 50) and State Rep. Mike Dudgeon (R-District 24).
"[The amendment] is really about providing educational opportunities for some kids in Georgia who are in failing schools," Dudgeon said.
Sharyl Dawes, co-president of the JCHS PTSA, which sponsored the event, said she was thankful that while the Georgia PTA's official position on the amendment is "No," the organization allowed both sides to present their cases Tuesday night.
Dawes said that the amendment is currently running 50-50 in the polls and is not running along party, gender or race lines.
"You have to make up your own minds," Dawes said, advising the audience to do its "due diligence."
See accompanying video for statements from both sides. Visit GeorgiaHope2012.org and VoteSmartGeorgia.com to learn more about the amendment's supporters and opponents respectively.

Selene Mayer is a correctional officer at Caledonia Prison in Halifax County. After she saw the surveillance video of Wake County Correctional Officer Markeith Council slamming inmate Shon Demetrius McClain to the ground, she understood why Council had to do it.
"When somebody's coming after you and you're in that type of situation where you're outnumbered, you're trying to get that situation handled quickly, as quickly as possible. He probably thought his life was in danger. He was by himself surrounded by 20 -25 probably more inmates," Mayer said.
Earlier today, Council took the stand to share his side of the story.
He said, "You assume you're about to get punched. So I pushed him back and told him to get back. I'm telling him don't let his friends get him in trouble, because again you can hear these guys saying stuff to him."
The surveillance video clearly shows a verbal altercation, followed by the officer and inmate struggling, and then Council slamming the inmate to the ground.
For the last six years Mike Cohen has been sending prisoners letters and books all over the country as part of his work with the Chapel Hill-based Prison Books Collective.
"This happens all the time. We get letters from prisoners all the time articulating abuses of this nature," said Cohen.
He said just because they show aggression, does not mean they should suffer abuse.
"I don't think that gives officers the license to kill a prisoner as soon as they feel threatened," said Cohen.
But officer Mayer doesn't believe any guard intends to kill, but rather quickly control a situation before it gets worse.
"If they put their minds to it, prisoners can take over that facility. Your heart starts racing, your hands sweating, you react. That's what they train us to do. React," Mayer said.
Eileen joined WNCN after years of working as a foreign correspondent. During her time off, she enjoys relaxing with her dogs, reading, and exploring the Triangle. More>>

SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash.--More than 350 Bowdish Middle Schoolers showed off their 12th man pride on Tuesday.
They created a human Seahawks logo in the school's gym. The children wore coordinated blue, white and green shirts.
It took hours for the students to set up. One they were done, they started a "Go Seahawks" chant.
