This ban is ineffective and illegal. BSL does not reduce dog bites. Dog bites in Denver have gone up during the breed ban. I am a cancer survivor and all the dogs in the therapy program were pits. Children who did not survive their battle with cancer wanted to hold their therapy pit in their arms as they dies. In my city in CT, pit bulls are the most popular breed. Our local politicians own them. Responsible owners are protected, while the irresponsible ones are prosecuted. This makes for a happy and safe community. Pit bulls test higher than Golden Retrievers in temperament tests. I had my left arm almost severed by a Black Lab. BSL DOES NOT WORK. If Denver really cared about its citizens, it would have laws that go after all dangerous dogs. Shame on Denver. You make me ashamed and embarrassed to be an American.

OccuPIT Denver: The city of Denver, Reexamine the validity of the current ban on Pit Bulls

Denver, CO
Multiply Your Impact
Turn your signature into dozens more by sharing this petition and recruiting people you know to sign.
Since 1989, the city of Denver has banned all "Pit Bull" type dogs or any dog appearing to have the majority of physical characteristics of a "Pit Bull" (and every type of dog that the city's Animal Control has mis-identified as a "Pit Bull").
The ban is based on two incidents that occurred twenty two years ago. Since that time, the city has never been able to provide factual (untampered with) documentation as to the ban's effectiveness, they can provide no expert testimony that endorses this legislation, and every major animal welfare organization globally has denounced Denver's law as a means of providing public safety to its citizens.
We are asking citizens of Denver to demand city officials reexam the validity of the current ban on Pit Bulls, calling on Professional Veterinary Doctors, Behaviorists, Animal Control Officers, and Trainers (NOT EMPLOYED BY OR PAID FOR BY THE CITY OF DENVER) to consult on the review. More so, we ask that this review be held in public forum.
The results of this petition WILL NOT only be submitted to the city of Denver like petitions of the past... but also the Denver Post, Westword News, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, the Chicago Tribune and every other major news publication in the U.S.
Below is your opportunity to be heard for change in Denver. We are asking all Denver registered voters and citizens AND anyone who opposes such discriminatory laws to sign a petition if they agree that a review of the ban is in the citizens best interest.

Nothing! Pit Bulls may have compressive jaw strength and superior overall body strength…they also posses great intelligence, sensitivity and train-ability.
There are many thousands of Pit Bulls who live with their human families in harmony. These dogs contribute nothing but love and affection to the families and communities that they live-in. Living, breathing proof of the loving nature of the breed.
There are more attacks recorded by other breeds such as Golden Retrievers (sorry doggies no offense intended) than there are by Pit Bulls. Pit Bull attacks simply feed the need of some people to victimize and buttonhole - meaning it makes for more sensational news - so gets the reporting focus. Years ago the focus was Dobermans, then German Shepherds, Boxers, Rottweilers - each of these breeds went through this cycle of bad publicity based on uninformed, reactive human emotion.
Our current age of enlightenment currently shines the focus on Pit Bulls.
Pit Bulls are sweet tempered dogs.
Pit Bulls are not the problem - humans are! Many people do not even know the difference between a Pit Bull and similar looking breeds…so not only is the Pit Bull vilified but also other innocent dogs. I have had people recoil from my Boxer as they ask me 'is that a Pit Bull?' And so what if he was!
A Pit Bull in its natural state is a social being, a pack animal with the potential inherent to get along with others. There are very few dogs born with 'bad wiring'. When a dog goes bad it is almost always a human who is responsible for the bad behaviour.
Over the centuries humans have selectively bred dogs for both physical and behavioural traits. Sometimes the goal was to achieve a loyal, strong, dog with stamina and intelligence that could be taken into war, or employed as a guard dog.
It is humanity that has created all of these breeds yet it is humanity that mishandles them, disrespecting the dog's needs and requirements. Humans use and abuse the dog for selfish reasons, altering the dog's natural state and transforming its good and social nature. When things go wrong it is the dog that is blamed. It is the dog that suffers, it is the dog that does not get to live the life it was born to live, the life it deserved to live.
When the wrong people, for the wrong reasons acquire these beautiful dogs - the nature of who they are truly meant to be is disrupted. The dog may be taught to use its natural abilities for harm instead of good. No dog wants to be bad. All dogs want to have the opportunity to receive fair instruction, coaching and mentoring to help them be social happy members of society - the same thing that a child wants. Children don't want to be bad - but when the lack the proper guidance, just like a dog they have little choice. Is it the dog's fault that its human is too lazy to coach and mentor it? Is it the dog's fault that it's human is aggressive and wants to teach the dog to be aggressive as well?
The dog has little choice - the human has supreme power to ensure compliance - brutality and cruelty, weapons.
Animal laws need to focus on the human's responsibility and not blame the dog. Do we blame a child when it is neglected, abused and poorly taught? The child like the dog has little choice about how they are treated and what they are taught…and so it is for a dog.
So many dogs have been put to death needlessly, while the humans who altered the dog's natural, balanced state of being, walks away; never taking any responsibility for what they have done.
Pit Bulls are victims of the selfishness of humanity. Untold numbers of Pit Bulls suffer great pain and death - brutally used in dog fights for the entertainment of humans. Other humans use Pit Bulls to booster the human's desire to evoke fear and power. Do we punish human victims of bullying? Or do we seek to find and treat the bully? Why would we treat a victimized Pit Bull with ire and cruelty rather than with sensitivity and care?
Invariably it is the dogs who suffers most. Misunderstood, euthanized.
A dog learns aggressive-reactive behaviour because a human enables the behaviour in a dog. Aggression is not embedded in a Pit Bulls nature. If aggression exists humanity has created it. It is the human (who has taught the dog aggression) that is bad, it is the human that lacks ethics, morals, sensitivity and the will to delineate right and wrong.
There are very few dog attacks that are not-unprovoked…it is just that no one was there at the right time to intervene in the right way when the provocation first started to build.
When we pass the dog to someone else - we just pass the problem on. When we summarily euthanize the dog we are making a huge mistake.
When we do not take the opportunity to correct the dog in a respectful, firm way without anger, fear or other emotions we create psychological damage in the dog. We miss an opportunity to change future outcomes - we make one more mistake in the dogs' life - we set the dog up for future failure…just as we would be doing with a human. I help people and their dogs repair this type of issue all of the time.
There are very few dog attacks that are not-unprovoked…it is just that no one was there at the right time to intervene in the right way when the provocation first started to build.
A dog that nips has already been let down by humanity - it does not need to be euthanized, it does not want to be bad - it just wants someone to step up to the plate and provide it with kind, considered direction.
If not addressed in time the nip eventually turns to a bit and the bite can turn into a deathly compressive lockdown. Not the dogs fault - humanities fault.
For those who have suffered from traumatic dogs bites (either human or animal companions), for those who have died as a result of an attack by a dog and for their loved ones who are left to try to understand - it is a tragic and life altering situation. But 99.9% of the time it is the humans behind the reactive dog who are at fault - not the dog who is euthanized.
Because dogs live in the moment it is easier to change a dog's 'bad habits' than it is a human's. Humans carry grudges, dogs do not. Dogs are very forgiving and treat each day, each experience as a new beginning. It is only with difficulty that we are able to convince, permit and allow ourselves to do the same.
Patience, will, determination, persistence, respect and an understanding of dog and human psychology are key. Coach and mentor the dog, train the people.
If we are willing to open our minds to see, we can learn so much from them about ourselves. They can help us be more aware of our own behaviour and give us a second chance to grow into better, wiser and happier individuals. When you help a dog it is not just the dog that gets a second lease on life and a new opportunity...it is also the human.
Dog aggression IS NOT BRED SPECIFIC - therefore Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) is wrong!
BSL is legislation born of fear, ignorance and laziness. BSL is not based on logic, common sense or truth.
BSL is not a cure, it is racisim. Address the root cause - if you want to make a change - go after the people that cause the problem, not the innocent dog.

If they put the true honest statistics for pet bites everyone would see that this breed is not a problem. Are we going to ban all dogs? Terriers are very quick to bit and can be down right nasty. I know we had one and had to keep her away from EVERYONE and muzzled her for the vet. My sons pit/lab mix can be poked prodded and pulled by any vet with not a twitch.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

BSL is ignorance. A pit bull is strong and loyal, and the people that take advantage of them should be punished. Well-behaved dogs and responsible owners should not be punished for the actions of others.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

Best BBQ in NC, SC & GA
I'll be travelling all 3 states over a week. Starting from Charlotte, NC, then making a loop that will go SE towards Charleston, then continue down the coast til Savannah, GA and then back up towards Charlotte passing through as far west as Augusta.
I love BBQ and have never tried Carolina Q before. So, if I were to eat in just 3 spots during my tour of food gluttony, which 3 should they be?
re: bbqdawg
Triangle isn't on your journey, but we've got a selection from The BBQ Pit to the Q Shack (although debate rages on if it is NC Q) and Alan and Sons. But Smithfield's is a quick intro in a pinch. And there's a good little dive in Grabtown, NC (I remember all the Ava Gardner memorabia - and the q).
-While I'm not a fan of the SC mustard base I'd say if you've never tried it then you need to check out Sweatman's in Holly Hill, SC
- My two favorite BBQ places (near Charlotte - but on the SC side) are:
Courtney's BBQ
1166 Highway 55 E
Clover, South Carolina 29710
(803) 222-5900
7580 Charlotte Highway/521
Indian Land, SC
Vandy's in Statesboro between Savannah & Augusta has been around forever & is some the best cue in that part of the country.
re: abroxton7
Ever so slight correction...
Mama Brown's BBQ is in Mt. Pleasant. In Kingstree it's Brown's BBQ. Same family I believe, just the names are mixed around a bit.
re: UrDaddy
I wholeheatedly agree. I'm NC born and bred, so I love pepper vinegar. Brown's and Mama Brown's have that. I live close enough to Mama Brown's to know when the chicken's frying. Lord help me....
I'll be driving from Charlotte to Atlanta tomorrow and was wondering the same thing. I've already been to Honey Monk's, Allen and Son's, Stamey's, Bridges, Sweatman's and Keatons. Just wondering if there are any bbq destinations along 85 bet. Charlotte and Atlanta that can't be missed. Thanks, y'all!
re: littlegirltree
I've never been, but on another thread a place called The Spotted Pig, in Fair Play, SC was recommended. Might be worth checking out:
re: bbqdawg
A little off topic, but what location of Allen and Son's do you go to? I've seen you post before, and have only been to the one on the road heading to Sanford.
re: veganhater
I go to the one between Hillsborough and CH, at the intersection of Hwy 86 and a road whose name I can't remember, a mile or so north of I-40. Pretty sure thats different from the one you are referring to. I've never been to that one, and I'm virtually certain there is no connection between them.
re: bbqdawg
Thanks. They do share the same name, don't they? I haven't been to the one on 86, though the location on highway 1 was good, but not great. I must try the other location.
re: veganhater
There may have been some connection at one time. It does make for some confusion. My understanding from comments on this board is that the Hwy 86 location is far superior.
re: littlegirltree
It's a bit of a side trip, but you could hit Carolina Barbecue in New Ellenton.
Since you'll be driving the coast from Charleston to Savannah, you'll not be far from Po Pigs in Edisto Island, SC. The detour (not that long), both for its scenic, old-timey south drive and the fantastic bbq and equally fantastic sides, is well worth it. Choosing the sides is the hardest part; sometimes I think I could eat just the sides, but then I'd have to miss the to-die-for pulled pork. If I lived within a few hours, I'd be a regular there. If you go, be sure to check the hours. I think they're closed Monday & Tuesday.
Since you'll probably be going through Columbia, and if you can get around the fact that the proprietor's dedication to the confederate cause may eclipse even his devotion to bbq, you might want to try Maurice's Piggy Park (several locations in the area now). Despite Maurice's #1 obsession, he serves up darned good Q.
Sorry you won't make it to Lexington #1 in NC or to Allen & Sons near Hillsborough, NC, because those are great NC bbq spots. Make another trip!
re: nomadchowwoman
Maurice's in Columbia is wildly overrated, according to my palate.
re: UrDaddy
Well, I'd rather drop my bbq bucks elsewhere, truth be told. So which of the places you recommend are in Columbia--or easy to get to for someone on a relatively tight schedule, just driving through?--because I'd sure give somebody else a try.
We were first steered to Maurice's by my neighbor, a Columbia native who raves about the place. I've only ever driven through Columbia, maybe once a year, and it's the only place in the town I've ever eaten. It's always been pretty tasty compared to what we can expect from the usual just-off-the-interstate spots. But I'd love to find a new favorite in Columbia for the next time I'm passing through.
re: nomadchowwoman
>I'd love to find a new favorite in Columbia
J D Hite's on Dreher Rd. in West Columbia, although their hours are very limited. Take-out only, open Friday and Saturday. Very good chopped pork and BBQ chicken. I skip the ribs. Excellent sweet pickle slaw.
South Carolina's contenders are easy. There is Sweatman's on a glorious old country road between Holly Hill and Eutawville. There is Jackie Hite's in an old white building next to the railroad tracks in Leesville. J.D. Hite and Son (no relation) operate exactly as they have done for the past 70 years in West Columbia. And then there is Scott's Variety Store at Brunson's Crossroads near Hemingway.
Scott's takes the cake. Go to NYTimes.com and search for the article John T. Edge recently wrote about the authentic brilliance of Scott's.
re: UrDaddy
Great list. If you haven't tried McCabe's in Manning I'd say it would be worth the trip. It's on a par with the others you mentioned.
re: Cpt Wafer
Amen on McCabe's. Often overlooked but one of the absolute best.
re: UrDaddy
I won't comment on the quality of Scott's BBQ in Hemingway, but I do want to say (having been there about an hour ago) that it's more of a "take home some bbq" place; not so much a restaurant.
re: quartney
Very true, it is nothing like a restaurant. But they do call it Scott's Variety Store & BBQ, so I suppose they've got that covered.
On the southeast side of Augusta - where US 1 and the Interstate loop intersect - is Sconyers BBQ, which I would definitely recommend.
For 50 years I have traveled the Carolinas, Georgia. And Virginia. Outside of my own, the best BBQ (Pork) I have eaten BBQ is Carolina BBQ in New Ellenton SC.
The pulled pork is almost naked with just a hint of V&P sauce. Two sauces are on the table although the pork is moist.
The hash and rice is the thing that brings me back from Williamsburg VA.
This no frills BBQ joint with a $7.00 all you can eat buffet, costs me several hundred dollars a year to partake. (Traveling expenses)
A BBQ pilgrim that misses this shrine might miss the Holy Grail!

It's not that I'm opposed to THEM winning. I'm just very much opposed to the Heat losing.
We got this.
True. The Spurs are a really good team and I am excited that we are playing them in the Finals.
But it would be fantastico for another ring. Either way, phenomenal season for the Heat.

Feeling embarrassment for someone that doesn't have enough common sense to feel the embarrassment that they should be feeling for themselves for their actions.
When I saw that he had tried to hit on his underage stepsister even though he knew that they were about to be related and she was 14 I felt a tremendous amount of fontrum for him.

Liberals and Conservatives Agree: Privatize Liquor Sales in Pa.
Katrina Anderson is Senior Policy Analyst & Director of Government Affairs for the Commonwealth Foundation for Public Policy Alternatives. She has followed and analyzed the debate on privitizing liquor sales in Pennsylvania. The privitization of the liquor stores has strong public support, but special interest has prevented the passage. Anderson will discuss why freedom has been so elusive.
Anderson is a graduate of Messiah College with a B.S. in environmental science. Her primary research areas include liquor store privatization, energy, corrections and pension reform. Her writing has appeared in newspapers including the Patriot News and Philadelphia Inquirer. She has also spoken on these issues at forums throughout the Commonwealth, including numerous television and radio appearances.

Are there different kinds of indoor bicycles?
Even among indoor bicycles, there are plenty of different choices. You can choose based on quality, price, features as well as the kind of exercise you can expect to get from a certain type or a certain model. You may have heard that some bikes are upright, while others are recumbent. You may be wondering what is the difference between these two types. The differences is in the positioning of the body while exercising, as to alleviate the pressure you would normally feel and make your exercise much more comfortable. The features on both of the kinds are pretty much the same, they both to resemble a real life bicycle to a certain point. There will be no need for any extra knowledge to operate this sort of machinery, as you will already know what to do.
How do I pick the right one?
If you are ready to finally purchase one of these, you may be wondering where you should look. The answer is simple and to your relief you won't have to look to a specialized store. The bikes of this kind are extremely common nowadays, so you can expect to find one almost everywhere. Not to say that there are things which would help you narrow down your search and choose the perfect model for your type of exercise. If you are looking for some guidance and a few hints related to these bikes, you can sigh with relief, because you will be able to have access to some of the most extensive buyers guides. Other than that, an Indoor Training Bikes website will be offering a number of ways for you to reach the perfect bicycle model in no time. After you purchased it, there is nothing else to do but pick your own trading regime and make sure you stick to it. While this is a powerful piece of machinery, it won't be able to burn all of those calories on its own. You will still be expected to put your maximum effort into working out this equipment, but the results you will come across are going to be noticed much faster, which is definitely something worth having around. Make sure you stay disciplined and follow your training regime closely, without any exceptions and sudden changes in plans. Only this way, you will be able to say for certain that you have achieved fitness.
The theory is pretty simple. Take your time and take steroids by the book if you want exquisite results without experiencing any adverse reactions.
How mass cycles actually work
Mass cycles require your entire mass for good final results. The cycles are also known as bulking cycles. They focus on nothing but gaining as much muscular mass as possible. While they do not target fat and water at all, these elements are quite useful for a healthy and fast growth.
In order to pack so much muscular mass, it is imperative to hit your system from any possible direction. In simple words, bulking steroids must respect two general characteristics. First, they have to be highly androgenic. Second, they must be highly anabolic too. Professional stores will categorize steroids by several criteria, including their overall uses. This is not a general rule though. Sometimes, you will have to actually research steroids individually.
Steroids that do not aromatize or activate your AR are less powerful. If you want to skip oral steroids and focus on injectable alternatives, make sure that you look for long acting esters. Long lasting esters tend to get into the blood and stay there for longer periods of time. The amounts of hormones associated with them are a lot higher too.
While these are the main requirements to look for in bulking steroids, keep in mind that you might need to think about a plethora of other aspects. For example, take your workout sessions into consideration as well, but never overlook your form, potential side effects, medical history or cycle duration. What works for some people will never work for everyone else. When taking steroids, the entire therapy must be customized in small details for good final results.]]>
A lot of people choose to buy buy Anavar from Anavar.Co because it is not as toxic as other similar products. At the same time, it is inexpensive and can be used with both cutting and bulking purposes. In other words, it makes an excellent option for newbies. The good news is that while its level of toxicity is smaller, its beneficial effects are very powerful. But who is this steroid recommended to?
Anavar – great for both men and women
Anavar provides exquisite effects in both men and women. This is the main reason wherefore it is so popular. The constant use does not cause virilization. Basically, women will never experience any masculine side effects, such as a deep voice or extra hair growth. These side effects can occur if you exaggerate with the doses. More is not necessarily better in this industry. At the same time, Anavar does not cause aromatization either, so men are less likely to end up with an embarrassing form of gynecomastia (breast growth). Respect the doctor's instructions and there will be no factors to be concerned about.
Taking Anavar by the book
The Anavar dosage must be respected in very small details. For example, professional athletes (males) can take between 20mg and 100mg on a daily basis. The cycle lasts between 6 and 10 weeks. Most of them begin at 50mg everyday and can go up to 80mg per day. More is recommended to professionals, while less is highly advisable to sensitive newbies. Female athletes require smaller doses. Taking 5mg to 15mg everyday is a good enough start.
Anavar should not be stacked with other steroids if you want to avoid side effects. However, there are a few other products that will not alter its effects and will not really affect your body. Adjustments must be made by a doctor.]]>
The BEE was enacted in 2003, small changes being made along the years. The program, as I mentioned earlier, works according to the structure of scorecards and rules associated with getting BEE points. Points are scored by a company of by a business once they buy or do business with companies with valid BEE certification delivered by www.amaxbee.co.za. There are different ratings to be received, a specialized environmental agency being in charge of assessing companies and their performance.
The certificate has to be renewed every other year in order to remain valid, and South African economic actors do their beat in order to improve their score with every passing year. The bigger their score and their rating, the more solid is their position in the South African economic world. Another aspect worth mentioning is the fact that a business without a BEE certificate cannot do business with the state. They are not allowed to enter public auctions started by the state and they cannot sign any contract. You can imagine that having this major disadvantage can cripple an entire business and that no self-respecting business person would ever afford to take such a risk.
On the other hand, having a BEE certificate and a good rating gives a company that upper leg needed in order to outperform the competition. This is the reason why companies are trying their best to improve their score and to prove the fact that they are active actors in making sure that previously discriminated against population is being encouraged to become part of South Africa's economic life.
As I mentioned, the results of the program are clear, more and more black people finding jobs in businesses and companies, not to mention that more and more black people have become business owners themselves. The program has proven that the financial incentive is enough to propel the country in the right direction, and we can only imagine that the future will come with more great BEE results.]]>
GCB MAX has been featured on Dr. Oz's show, who has conducted his own research studies. The doctor is world renowned for testing products before making them public. Some of them work, while others work faster. Some others do not work at all. He comes up with realistic reviews and results, so the audience can make wise decisions. At the same time, it looks like green coffee bean extract can work without making any obvious changes into your lifestyle too. You do not have to break your routine and spend two hours a day in a gym, just like you can forget about starving yourself. With all these, you do not have to be a genius to realize that working out and adopting a healthy diet will help you lose more weight overtime.
GCB MAX is known to boost the metabolism, balance the blood sugar and provide your body with a little caffeine. But what else can you expect?
Kiss your sugar cravings goodbye
Sugar cravings are every dieter's nightmares. This is a direct problem that most people simply cannot overcome because the cravings are too intensive. Fortunately, the cravings are kept under control only because the blood sugar is properly balanced. You no longer need to exaggerate with the chocolate or candies. Therefore, even if your willpower is seriously damaged, you will still be able to avoid these things. GCB MAX is simply way too efficient in changing your eating habits in a healthy manner.
How much weight do you need to lose?
Green coffee bean extract can and will help you lose weight without doing anything else. Are you interested in doubling up the results? Just start dieting and exercising. If you are willing to make these changes, the results are even better overtime.]]>

Daily Journey - Sept. 11
September 11
Thought from Today's Old Testament Passage:
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. Where, O death, are your plagues? Where, O grave, is your destruction? (Hosea 13:14)
This text is either one of the greatest notes of triumph over death in the Old Testament, or, by beginning with a rhetorical question which assumes a no answer, it surrenders the helpless to all the weapons of death. Which is true…?
The answer, of course, is that the same situation is found in Genesis 3:15. It too is surrounded with the curses on the woman, the serpent, the man, and the ground (Gen. 3:8-14; 16-19). Often God will interject this note of hope right in the midst of humanity's darkest moments and most deserved judgments.
Therefore, the taunt song to death and the grave is the most appropriate rendering of the last part of verse 14. It is the same paean that the apostle Paul will raise in 1 Corinthians 15:55. It only asks in mocking tones what the first part of verse 14 had clearly affirmed as a statement: God can and will ransom them from the power of the grave. He can deliver them even after death has done its worst. No wonder the prophet cries out with such triumphant glee and says (after a manner of speaking): "Come on, death, let's see your stuff now! Come on, grave, put up your fists and fight!"

Maxus takes £21m Associated British Foods media account
Maxus has won the £21m media planning and buying account for Associated British Foods' grocery arm, snatching the business from incumbent ZenithOptimedia in a competitive review that also included MPG Media Contacts.
Ryvita: part of the Associated British Foods brand portfolio
The pitch process was managed by ID Comms and kicked off in September. The business will transfer to Maxus from 1 March 2013.
The WPP agency will now take control of media planning and buying duties across five individual businesses: AB World Foods; Allied Bakeries; The Jordans & Ryvita Company; The Silver Spoon Company and Twinings UK.
Brands in the ABF portfolio include Kingsmill bread, Ovaltine, Ryvita, Patak's and Twinings tea.
Lindsay Pattison, chief executive of Maxus, said: "The pitch process was a fantastic experience and allowed us to really understand the businesses in the [ABF] Group and we're thoroughly looking forward to getting started."
Sarah Arrowsmith, chief executive of ABF UK Grocery, said: "We saw some excellent thinking from all the agencies we evaluated but concluded that Maxus offered the most consistent balance of overall strategic and creative insight; with exceptional capability in relation to digital media channels in particular.
"We were also impressed with how Maxus recognised the unique requirements of the individual businesses within our group and adapted their internal structures accordingly."
In September ABF appointed Creature London to the creative account for its Jordans brand. The agency won a pitch against CHI & Partners, Dare and CST The Gate, and replaced Grey London on the account.
As well as Creature, ABF works with a number of creative agencies including Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO and JWT London.
The creative roster is unaffected by the awarding of the media account.Follow @Banham72

Kyrgyzstan ambassador visits UNT, marking start of academic relationship
DENTON (UNT), Texas -- The University of North Texas marked the beginning of an academic relationship with Kyrgyzstan, a Central Asian country west of China, with a visit June 16 (Friday) from Zamira Sydykova, ambassador of Kyrgyzstan to the United States and Canada.
Six Kyrgyzstani students -- all police officers -- joined UNT in May, making it the first university in the U.S. to receive a group of sponsored students from Kyrgyzstan. The ambassador met with the students and talked with UNT officials about possible future projects with UNT, including language projects, study abroad programs and faculty exchanges.
Sydykova said the students will help improve the future of Kyrgyzstan when they carry home their U.S. education and experiences, leading to increased democracy, security and stability.
"We are partners in the fight on terrorism," Sydykova said. "We are partners to promote the idea of global security in the world."
Sydykova studied journalism at Moscow State University before working as a reporter for a popular youth newspaper, Komsomolets Kirgizii. She established the country's first independent newspaper, Res Publica, and fought for a free press, despite imprisonment for her coverage of corruption and an authoritarian government. In 2000, she earned the Courage in Journalism Award from the International Women's Media Foundation in Washington, D.C. She has served as ambassador of Kyrgyzstan since March 2005.
The students -- all graduates of the Turkish Police Academy in Ankara -- are studying in the Intensive English Language Institute at UNT before beginning master's and doctoral programs at UNT and other U.S. universities. They came to UNT through the Turkish Institute for Police Studies (TIPS), in which officers pursue graduate degrees in criminal justice or related fields. TIPS is an internationally known and recognized research and training institute with more than 200 active members throughout 38 universities in the U.S., Europe and Turkey.
Kyrgyzstani student Irlan Bakiev said his time studying at UNT is "a great experience for us to do something for our country."
An academic relationship between UNT and Kyrgyzstan will help prepare globally competitive graduates, said Rebecca Smith-Murdock, interim executive director of international studies and programs at UNT.
"From the university's perspective, this is a part of the world about which we are historically less well informed," Smith-Murdock said. "We are looking for larger opportunities to study languages that are less commonly taught but increasingly more important in the world. There are also cultural and economic opportunities. Students need to know about that part of the world so they can be prepared as workers and citizens."
For more information, contact Rebecca Smith-Murdock at (940) 565-2197 or Samih Teymur, police major and director of the TIPS program at UNT, at (940) 891-6735.

Key points
This section contains answers to frequently asked questions about this topic. Questions have been suggested by health professionals, website feedback and requests via email.
To reduce the symptoms of gout and how often you get it, try not to eat foods that contain very high levels of purines. Purines are substances that are broken down into uric acid and can make gout worse. Foods that contain high levels of purines include certain meats and seafood.
Gout is caused by a build-up of uric acid, a waste product formed from purines. These are found in every cell in your body and in certain foods. Your diet plays an important role in causing gout. If you make some changes, it may reduce your risk of gout coming back.
Foods that are very high in purines include:
There is no need to cut out all of these foods completely because they still contain other essential nutrients and protein. Rather, reduce how much of them you eat as it may help with gout. Instead, you could eat more of sources of protein that are low in purines, such as dairy products and certain vegetables.
What you drink can also affect your symptoms of gout. For example, some sugary drinks can raise the amount of uric acid in your blood and make gout worse. Cutting down on how much alcohol you drink, especially beer, stout and port wine, can improve your symptoms too. If you drink excessive amounts of alcohol, it can trigger symptoms of gout, even if you're already taking medicines to prevent it.
If you eat a low-purine, healthy, balanced diet, it will help you to manage your gout symptoms. However, depending on your condition, you may also need to take medicines to help treat your symptoms and prevent gout from coming back again.
Pseudogout is caused by a build-up of different crystals to the ones that cause 'real' gout. Pseudogout is also known as calcium pyrophosphate crystal arthritis.
You can develop gout if you have too much uric acid in your body. Uric acid is a chemical that everybody has in their blood. If the level of uric acid in your body is too high, it can form tiny crystals that collect in your tissues. These can collect in and around your joints in particular. This is what may cause your swelling and pain.
When you have pseudogout, the crystals that form aren't uric acid crystals, as they are with 'real' gout. They are made of a calcium salt called calcium pyrophosphate. These crystals can often be seen on an X-ray of your affected joint.
Pseudogout is most common in people over 60, and men and women are affected equally. Pseudogout can affect any joint, but often it will be your knee, wrist or hip. Pseudogout tends to start with severe pain, stiffness and swelling, and then settles on its own and usually gets better within 10 days. Sometimes, if you have another illness, it can set off pseudogout, but often there is no apparent reason for it starting.
Like gout, pseudogout can return, or become a chronic condition. A chronic illness is one that lasts a long time, sometimes for the rest of the affected person's life.
You can treat pseudogout with similar medicines to those used for gout. However, if you have chronic pseudogout, there are fewer treatment options to prevent it or reduce the frequency of it happening. You may need to take NSAIDs or steroids over a long period of time. This is because there is no treatment to lower the levels of the crystals that cause pseudogout.
If you think you may have gout or pseudogout, see your GP for advice.
In general, serious side-effects from allopurinol are rare and this medicine is suitable for long-term use. However, as with any medicine, look out for anything unusual and speak to a pharmacist if you're worried.
Allopurinol is a medicine that prevents gout by stopping the formation of uric acid.
Your GP or rheumatologist (a doctor who specialises in conditions that affect the joints) will prescribe you a low dose of allopurinol to start with. This will help to identify any side-effects of the medicine, such as a rash, before they become serious. He or she will then build your dose up gradually.
You may get symptoms of gout during the first few months after you first start taking allopurinol. You may be prescribed medicines to try to prevent this. These may include a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), or a medicine called colchicine to take alongside allopurinol. Start these medicines as soon as possible and continue taking them for at least three months. It's also important to keep taking allopurinol even during acute attacks of gout.

Using declarative_authorization with subdomains
The Rails portal I'm working on uses subdomains to distinguish between schools (i.e. schoolname.schoudercom.nl). Access to various parts of the portal is controlled through roles using
declarative_authorization. All this using one app and one database. So far so good.
But what if a teacher in school1 is a parent in school2? So, when this user requests a page for school1 (under subdomain "school1″) his role should be "teacher" and when he requests a page for school2 his role should be "parent".
Sounds simple enough to accomplish, until you realize that information about the subdomain is not accessible from the User model. And so also not available in method
role_symbols that is called by
This separation of logic between the layers of the MVC pattern is a basic Rails aspect. Various workarounds can be found on the Internet, some of which involve class or instance variables or usage of
Thread.current. For a typical discussion on this subject see this topic, more information about threading can be found in Thread safety for your Rails.
Having read the available information I finally settled on adding an instance variable to the User model and setting this from a
before_filter in
ApplicationController. Let's start with the model definitions, showing only the relevant lines:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :user_roles has_many :roles, :through => :user_roles, :conditions => 'school_id=#{self.current_subdomain ? self.current_subdomain.id : -1}' attr_accessor :current_subdomain # method for declarative_authorization def role_symbols roles.map do |role| role.name.underscore.to_sym end end end class School < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :user_roles end class Role < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :user_roles has_many :users, :through => :user_roles end class UserRole < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user belongs_to :role belongs_to :school end
The instance variable is
current_subdomain. Note that the
:condition for the
has_many assocation for
roles uses single quotes. When
declarative_authorization calls
role_symbols, which iterates the
roles array, the condition is dynamically executed and the roles are filtered based on subdomain. The single quotes will cause the query to be "lazy evaluated" as mentioned e.g. in this blog.
When no subdomain is available (e.g. for the public portal starting with 'www') the '-1′ ensures that no roles are assigned.
ApplicationController add a
before_filter and two methods that will set the
current_subdomain variable for
current_user (provided by AuthLogic in my case):
before_filter :set_current_subdomain def current_subdomain return @current_subdomain if defined?(@current_subdomain) @current_subdomain = request.subdomains.join(".") @current_subdomain = nil unless (@current_subdomain && @current_subdomain.casecmp("www") != 0 ) if @current_subdomain @current_subdomain = School.find_by_subdomain(@current_subdomain) end @current_subdomain end def set_current_subdomain ca = current_subdomain current_user.current_subdomain = ca unless current_user.nil? end
This may be trivial for experienced Rails developers, but I decided to blog about it anyway – for people like me who just started working with Rails a couple of months ago it may be useful information.
A Tweet is not a LinkedIn Status Update
I was recently forced to delete one of my LinkedIn connections. Why?
I like to follow the LinkedIn status updates posted by my connections. They inform me about big projects they work on, about seminars they visit, about job changes and other career-related events. Until recently I was happily following these updates from my iPhone.
That is, until LinkedIn decided to offer a connection between its status update and Twitter. One of the usage scenarios – a Tweet with #in is passed to LinkedIn as status update – makes perfect sense. Once in while you tweet something that is worthwhile knowing for your LinkedIn connections as well: just add #in and you're done. The second usage scenario however – all Tweets are passed to LinkedIn as status update – turns out to be a pain for those following status updates using the iPhone LinkedIn app. In fact, it just turns into a useless copy of Twitter. You have to wade through 20 Tweets of person X before encountering a single LinkedIn status update of another person, and then another 17 Tweets of the same person X before encountering the next. As people say on Twitter: #fail.
Apart from this practical issue, it usually doesn't make sense to connect Twitter one-on-one with your LinkedIn status. LinkedIn gives me the career overview of my connections. Careers develop relatively slowly, and so status updates are relatively sparse. That is a completely different model than Twitter, where the update frequency is typically much higher.
So, to be able to see status updates of all my connections on the iPhone LinkedIn app (and not just Tweets from person X) I had to delete the connection. Which makes me very curious: how do you handle this?

CHESTERTON | The Bailly Elementary third-grade teaching team, composed of Mindy Balhoff, Sandy Campbell, Deanna Heslin and Mary Ann Martin, requested and received a grant project from the Duneland Education Foundation this school year.
The grant funds a chick hatching science experience for all of the school's third-graders.
Duneland Schools and Bailly Elementary have been committed to this project for 10 years. An initial grant from the Duneland Education Foundation for two brooder boxes was awarded in 2004, and the project has been conducted every year since.
"The students grow intellectually and emotionally from this project," Campbell said. "They grow emotionally because they are responsible for the life of another living creature. They become invested in the care of the eggs, and are very careful to do everything just right.
"We cannot duplicate this type of learning through a textbook, a video or worksheets. The 'hands-on' learning they experience is remembered for years to come," she said.
During the program, students become 'eggs'perts in the development of chicken embryos, the hatching and the care of fertilized eggs that eventually become baby chicks. They learn about stages of development and for 21 days they act as "mother hens." They turn the eggs, monitor the temperature and humidity of the incubators, and anxiously wait to hear "peeps" emanating from within the eggs. During this time the students are able to observe the eggs and their hatching through the clear Plexiglass lids of the incubators. This 'hands-on' experience motivates students to embrace science and collaborative learning.
As part of the exploration of the living environment, the third-grade team requested to expand the chick hatching science experience to include all third-graders. The teachers can now buy two more brooder boxes, two more incubators and other pieces of equipment. Some other added items are a Chick Life Cycle Exploration Set, plastic eggs that shows each stage of development of the chick embryo; charts that show the embryo development through the adults; and OvaScopes to allow for thorough examination of the embryo development.
The students will learn about the life cycle of chickens while developing the character traits of caring, responsibility and trustworthiness. The students are responsible for the care of the egg and ensuring their own safety while handling the eggs. The students realize that what they do or do not do impacts the developing embryo.

Tag: Ponson Island
The Camotes Island
by Philippines Island on Nov.24, 2010, under Cebu, Information, Places, Visayas
Camotes Island
The Camotes Island is a group of island that forms part of the province of Cebu in the Philippines. The island group is located east of Cebu Island, southwest of Leyte Island and north of Bohol Island. The Camotes is composed of the following four islands and their municipalities:
Poro; the municipalities of Poro and Tudela.
Pacijan; the sole municipality is San Francisco.
Ponson; the sole municipality is Pilar.
Tulang; is part of the barangay Esperanza, which is part of San Francisco.
The island of Pacijan and Poro are connected by a paved road called a causeway. Ponson is separated by the Camotes Sea lying about four kilometers northeast of Poro. Tulang is located of the northern tip of Pacijan.
Pacijan Island
Pacijan has the only white sand beaches on the Camotes and is where most of the places to stay are located.
San Francisco the main town on Pacijan Island stands at one end of the long land bridge and mangrove forest that runs all way across to Poro Island. San Fran has a lively market, a church, a giant basketball complex, a pretty little town square and plenty of colorful murals.
Lake Danao and Danao Fisheries
The Carmen Lake Danao Fisheries Complex is on the southern bank of Lake Danao behind the town of Union (oon-yon). The fishery performs research different water fish. The fish are farmed in floating pens by the lake's edge, where there are nice views to be had.
Esperanza is Pacijan second largest town and has a main street lined with yellow painted pot plants. The town runs along a white sand beach strewn with fishing boats. Esperanza has a school, a church, shops and a basketball court.
Sleeping and Eating
Santiago Bay Garden and Resort has a cheerful family atmosphere with lots of locals and music. Basic rooms are on the hillside overlooking a vast, crescent shaped bay with a white beach. The water in the bay is very shallow and tides are consequently massive. The resort is fronted by a terraced restaurant with wonderful views.
Mangodlong Rock Resort it occupies a postcard perfect, private cove with a small beach and good snorkeling. it is also comprises deluxe, native style rooms, a thatched-roof bar and restaurant and cute mushroom cottages that have been built on the rocky outcrops at the water edge.
Green Lake Park and Restaurant is a friendly place with nice views of the lake and has a good Filipino food.
Poro Island
Poro is the best lesser of the two main island. It lacks the beaches of Pacijan and there's nowhere really to stay or eat, though if you have an off road bike its forested hills have better touring.
AltaVista and Mount Three Peaks
Is the serene plateau that has a comfort room, a small treehouse and three other open cottages, that make up the Camotes highest region are Elijan, Kaban-kaban and Kantomaro.
Ponson Island
There are two towns in Ponson; Pilar and Kawit. Kawit is the more picturesque of the two, lovely long, white sand beach.
The predominant industries on the Camotes Island are farming fishing and tourism. The word camotes is Mexican for sweet potatoes. Porohanon or Camotes Visayan is spoken in the town of Poro only. The dialect is very similar to the dialect of Cebuano which is spoken in the rest of Camotes islands and throughout the province of Cebu.

|Look up rheum in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Rheum (/ˈruːm/; from Greek: ῥεῦμα, rheuma, a flowing, rheum) is thin mucus naturally discharged as a watery substance from the eyes, nose or mouth during sleep (cf. mucopurulent discharge).[1][2][3] Rheum dries and gathers as a crust in the corners of the eyes or mouth, on the eyelids, or under the nose.[3] It is formed by a combination of mucus (in the case of the eyes, consisting of mucin discharged from the cornea or conjunctiva), nasal mucus, blood cells, skin cells, or dust. Rheum from the eyes is particularly common. Dried rheum is in common usage called sleep, sleepers, sleeping sand, crusty, eye gunk, sleepydust, sleepy boogers, eye discharge, eye goop, eye crud, eye jelly, eye crust, eye bogeys, eye boogers, eye-sand, cockapia, optical crustaceans, blinker smudge, sleepy dirt, sleepy seeds, bug dust, eye poo, gubbas, poopies etc.[2][3] (An obsolete and UK dialectal term is gound.[4])
When the individual is awake, blinking of the eyelid causes rheum to be washed away with tears via the nasolacrimal duct. The absence of this action during sleep, however, results in a small amount of dry rheum accumulating in corners of the eye, most notably in children.
A number of conditions can cause an increase in the production of rheum in the eye. In the case of allergic conjunctivitis, the buildup of rheum can be considerable, many times preventing the sufferer opening the eye upon waking without prior cleansing of the eye area. The presence of pus in an instance of heavy rheum buildup can indicate dry eye or conjunctivitis, among other infections.
Occasionally in infants, the tear ducts (that drain the tears) fail to open, resulting in the overflow of tears onto the cheeks (epiphora) and rheum deposition on the surrounding skin.

In Perspective: Water scarcity's impacts
Colleen Scherer We underestimate the impact of water in our lives. Americans take abundant, clean, cheap water for granted. But slowly, very slowly, our eyes are opening to the changes happening around us.
Water, or the lack of it, is a significant topic of discussion among many in the United States since a severe drought swept through the nation starting last summer. The agriculture industry is waiting on pins and needles to see how this year's planting season will turn out.
In the ag media, we are bombarded with news stories about drought, nearly on a daily basis. But in March, several key messages about water scarcity, drought and water management kept popping up.
In mid-March, a new video was released from Allan Savory, a soft-spoken Zimbabwean biologist, farmer and environmentalist who has spent a lifetime studying and practicing techniques that combat desertification around the globe. He spoke at the 2013 TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) Conference about how nearly two-thirds of the world is threatened by desertification. Savory's claim is that removing grazing animals from an ecosystem promotes desertification. To heal the land and slow climate change, he says, grazing animals must be returned to areas in peril of desertification.
In 22 minutes, Savory lays out the problem facing the world and how his research now shows how to use livestock to reverse desertification. In a world facing billions more people in the next 40 years that will need to be fed, which will put a strain on water supplies, finding ways to return land back to healthy grasslands is key to helping reverse negative climate trends. To watch the video, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpTHi7O66pI.
The next water message received was just prior to World Water Day, which was March 22. The Worldwatch Institute released a new report examining global water use and ways to address water scarcity. According to the report, 1.2 billion people live in areas of physical water scarcity, while another 1.6 billion face economic water shortages. As world population increases, water resources will be strained.
Worldwatch in its report cited the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and UN Water as saying global water use has been growing at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century. And agricultural water use accounts for 44 percent of total water withdrawal among members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). In Brazil, Russia, India and China, agriculture accounts for 74 percent of water withdrawals, but this ranges from 20 percent in Russia to 87 percent in India.

Tokyo, 18 November 2011. The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) has launched its FIVB Heroes campaign in Japan. "Our mission is to bring the spectacular of volleyball to the world," emphasised FIVB President Jizhong Wei. "The World Cup in Japan offers another great opportunity for us to promote the sport." FIVB started a rebranding project about a year ago that includes a new corporate logo and a whole new look and feel to its events. The new PR campaign is a core element of the project.
FIVB Executive Vice President André Meyer explains: "We are asking our top athletes in both variants – Beach Volleyball and Volleyball – to get into the spotlight, to further promote Volleyball as a highly athletic and highly professional sport, played around the globe with a strong brand in the background. This is what we are aiming for. No one can tell the story of our sport better than the athletes themselves. They are perfect role models – powerful, expressive and dynamic."
In total, 33 volleyball players from 16 countries were selected as FIVB Heroes, 22 of whom are competing at the World Cup (Women's tournament: 4-18 November. Men's tournament: 20 November-4 December).
They are as follows:
Women: Sheilla Castro (Brazil), Yimei Wang (China), Milagros Cabral de la Cruz (Dominican Republic), Margareta Kozuch (Germany), Simona Gioli (Italy), Saori Kimura and Yoshie Takeshita (Japan), Yeon-Koung Kim (South Korea), Jovana
Brakocevic (Serbia) and Destinee Hooker (USA), and Men: Facundo Conte (Argentina), Giba and Murilo Endres (Brazil), Wilfredo León Venero (Cuba), Simone Parodi (Italy), Kunihiro Shimizu and Tatsuya Fukuzawa (Japan), Zbigniew Bartman and Bartosz Kurek (Poland), Maxim Mikhaylov (Russia), Sasha Starovic (Serbia) and Clayton Stanley (USA).
In addition to these stars, 29 beach Volleyball players were made FIVB Heroes three months ago at the World Championships in Rome.
Only players who have won 'MVP' awards at FIVB events have been chosen to be part of the campaign. Priority was given to younger players who are expected to continue their careers for another three or four years.
Photo shoots and high-speed film shoots have been staged in Montreux, Gstaad, Tokyo and Rome. In addition, super-slow-motion footage has been used to emphasise the excitement of the sport and the physical excellence of the athletes. Thirty-second TV commercials and event posters have also been produced.
FIVB will be seeking to raise its profile at both final weekends at the World Cup in Japan's Yoyogi Stadium. The over-life-size statues of Russian star player Ekaterina Gamova and Brazilian Murilo Endres (made of PU foam and nearly 5 m tall) will be put on display at the stadium, and other attractions are also being prepared, including large displays of the FIVB Heroes in front of the stadium and a Fan Stand, where fans can picture themselves surrounded by the Heroes using a blue screen.
"It's an honour to be part of the campaign. It will help to create more role models for future generations of players and a platform for stars," emphasised Maxim Mikhaylov of Russia.
Gamova and Murilo in XXL
As part of the promotion for the "FIVB Heroes" campaign, a German company has produced three-dimensional giant statues of Volleyball stars Ekaterina Gamova of Russia and Murilo Endres of Brazil. The models are each around five metres high (including a one-metre solid wood base) and customized in PU foam. They took three weeks to make, and weigh about 400 kg each, of which 250 kg is the base.
Ekaterina and Murilo were scanned with a portable 3D laser scanner (worth roughly €13,000) in Moscow and Gdansk during summer. The process took about 15 minutes each. The two athletes had to remain silent and as still as possible in order to guarantee a first-class 3D computer model. The 3D model was digitally enlarged to a four-gigabyte file and divided into segments. A milling machine was then used to create the 3D sculpture. Eventually, the final touches were made by three scene painters and airbrush artists. In total, ten people were involved in the production of each model. The shipping from Europe to Japan took about five weeks.
Ekaterina is a double FIVB World Championship winner and Olympic Silver medallist with the Russian national team. She was named Most Valuable Player at the World Championships in 2010. Ekaterina is 2.02 m tall and was born in Chelyabinsk on 17 October 1980. Murilo is 30 years old and has won five World Leagues with the Brazil national team and two World Championships (he was also named MVP at the World Championships in 2010). In 2008 he won the Olympic Silver medal.
More information is available at www.FIVB.org and www.FIVBheroes.com (the new official site of the campaign, which includes features and TV clips of the Heroes as well as plenty of Volleyball background information, fact sheets, etc.).
Please note that a Japanese version is available as of now.
