Guest blog by DJ Pauly D
Listen up! I bet you didn't know that most puppies sold in pet stores come from puppy mills, which are large-scale breeding facilities where people value money more than they do the welfare of the dogs. The dogs in puppy mills don't get to play, don't get daily walks and don't get the love that animals deserve. Imagine man's best friend living in a cage only six inches longer than its body in each direction—for their entire lives! And that's completely legal. It's messed up.
If a pet store tells you they don't get their puppies from puppy mills, don't believe them. It would be like me telling you I don't use hair gel. The ASPCA launched a new tool on its "No Pet Store Puppies" website showing that "USDA licensed" doesn't mean much. The current USDA standards are so weak that dogs in these breeding facilities are often mistreated and suffer from lack of vet care.
Check out the photos of breeders taken by the USDA to see where pet store puppies really come from (warning: some of the pics are graphic!). The online database has more than 10,000 photos of breeding facilities and link some of them to pet stores throughout the country that have sold puppies within the last year.
As an ASPCA ambassador, I encourage animal lovers, like myself, across the country to put an end to this cruel industry. Here's what you can do to help:
- Take the pledge not to buy any items from stores or websites that sell puppies. That includes pet food, supplies, treats or toys.
- If you're looking for a new puppy, don't buy a puppy from a pet store and instead make adoption your first option, or seek a responsible breeder if you choose not to adopt.
- Sunday, July 21, is "No Pet Store Puppies" Day. Help us spread the word and share the news with your friends and family via Facebook and Twitter.
- Join an ASPCA Twitter chat on July 23 at 2:00 P.M. (ET), where you'll have a chance to ask their puppy mill expert everything you wanted to learn about puppy mills. Follow #ASPCAchat.
Help us put an end to puppy mills and protect man's best friend. Say no to pet store puppies—and adopt, don't shop! Yeah, Buddy!!!!
It's hot out there! And if your Golden Retriever or long-haired kitty seems to suffer when the mercury rises, you might feel some temptation to break out your grooming tools and give your pets a full shave-down. We get where you're coming from.
But wait! Put down those clippers! According to experts, you'll be doing your pet a disservice. Here's why:
- While you or I would hate to sport a fur coat in 100-degree weather, your pets' fur coats are actually providing them with heat relief.
"A dog's coat is kind of like insulation for your house," explains Dr. Louise Murray, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA Animal Hospital. "Insulation stops your home from getting too cold in winter, but it also keeps it from overheating in summer—and your dog's coat does the same thing."
Dogs' coats have several layers, and these layers are essential to your dog's comfort in the heat. Robbing your dog of this natural cooling system can lead to discomfort and overheating. And keeping your dog cool isn't the only reason to leave his coat intact, Dr. Murray warns.
- Your dog's coat prevents your pup from getting sunburn and helps protect her from skin cancer.
To protect your pet from sunburn and skin cancer, save longer walks for evenings, and consider applying pet-specific sun block to thinly covered areas like the bridge of your dog's nose, the tips of his ears and his belly, Dr. Murray suggests, noting that pets with thin coats, as well as those with white or light-colored coats, are especially at risk for sun damage.
- There are better ways to manage your pets' coats to keep them cool: trimming and brushing.
"It's OK to trim your long-haired dog's long hair, such as any hair that hangs down on his legs," Dr. Murray says. Just never attempt to clip mats off your pet's coat with scissors, Dr. Murray adds. And if you've got a long-haired kitty, leave her coat intact. Instead, brush her a little more frequently during the hot summer months.
Of course, pet parents should remember to keep pets inside with plenty of water during hot days—hydration is key! For more important information on summer pet care, visit our Hot-Weather Tips. Stay cool out there!
When Marlene M. took on her first ASPCA foster dog, a white ball of fluff named Curly Sue, she didn't know that Curly Sue would soon become a "foster failure."
"I was fostering her for about three months and of course, she grew on me, as well as my cats—they all got along so well," Marlene says. "Her personality started to come out, she became less shy and started asserting herself with the other animals."
When it came time to part with Curly Sue so that she could be made available for adoption at the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan, Marlene says she felt very protective of her, and wanted to make sure Curly Sue found an excellent adopter. It didn't take long for Marlene to decide the perfect place for Curly Sue was in her own home.
Marlene says the adoption process was easy because of her familiarity with Curly Sue's history, experience caring for her, and first-hand knowledge of her personality quirks. Curly Sue couldn't be happier with her new family.
"She sticks by my side wherever I go," Marlene says. "She and the cats get along well; the cats are bigger than she is, but she keeps them in their place if they try to run over her! I recently took her on a road trip to Michigan, a 13-hour drive, and she had a blast exploring new territory."
We're thrilled that Curly Sue's foster placement turned into a wonderful forever home. If you live in New York City and think you might be a good fit for a foster animal, please read more about the ASPCA foster program.
What can you expect to see at your local Fourth of July parade? Decorative floats, marching bands, lots of red, white and blue—and horses! Horses are an American symbol and have played an important role in our country's history. They deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. But sadly, even parade horses are just one bad sale away from a brutal fate in a slaughterhouse.
Horse slaughter is inherently cruel, and anyone who knows or sees the commercial slaughter process understands it absolutely cannot be called euthanasia. The vast majority of horses killed for human consumption are young, healthy animals who could go on to lead productive lives with loving owners. Moreover, horse slaughter plants destroy natural resources, devastate local economies, and horsemeat is unsafe to eat due to routine equine medications that are toxic to humans.
Unfortunately, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently approved applications for a horse slaughter facility in New Mexico and Iowa, and approval of an application in Missouri is on the way. Congress must act IMMEDIATELY to stop these plants from needlessly slaughtering American horses for commercial interests. While our government is struggling to fund vital programs, taxpayer dollars should not be wasted on a predatory industry.
The Safeguard American Foods Export (SAFE) Act (S. 541/ H.R. 1094) is a federal bill that will prevent horse slaughter operations in the U.S. and end the export of American horses for slaughter abroad. Please send a polite email to your federal legislators in Congress and urge them to support the SAFE Act and ban the slaughter of American horses for human consumption.
Thank you for being a voice for American horses this Independence Day!
As the country dons its red, white and blue to celebrate Independence Day, nothing says patriotism like a good old-fashioned barbecue with a side of fireworks. But beware pet parents, what's fun for people can be a drag for our furry friends.
Even if your pooch is a pro picnicker, we recommend keeping him indoors as much as possible during backyard parties and Fourth of July festivities. From toxic food and beverages to raucous guests and fireworks, the holiday is rife with potential pet-astrophes.
"Even the most timid dog can leap a six-foot fence if he's spooked by loud noises," says Dr. Pamela Reid, Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Behavior Team. If your dog shows signs of distress from fireworks or boisterous revelers, Dr. Reid suggests giving him a Kong toy stuffed with peanut butter. "The persistent licking should calm his nerves," she says.
The ASPCA offers some more expert advice to keep your pet singing, "Oh Say Can You See," all the way to the fifth:
- Keep your pet on the wagon. Since alcohol is potentially poisonous to pets, place all wine, beer and spirits well out of paws' way.
- Avoid scraps from the grill. Stick with your pet's normal diet—any change, even for a day, can result in stomach upset. Certain foods like onions, avocado, chocolate, grapes and raisins are especially toxic to pets.
- Skip the sunscreen. Avoid lathering your pet with any insect repellent or sunscreen not intended for the four-legged kind. Ingestion can result in drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive thirst and lethargy.
- Stay fire smart. Keep your pet away from fireworks, matches, citronella candles and lighter fluid, which if eaten can irritate the stomach, lungs and central nervous system.
- Be cool near the pool. Don't leave pets unsupervised around a pool or lake—not all dogs are expert swimmers! Also, pools aren't large water bowls—they contain chlorine and other toxic chemicals that can cause stomach problems.
As always, if you suspect your pet has ingested something poisonous from the picnic table, please contact your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. And be sure to check out our other holiday pet care tips for a safe and happy Fourth!

Reference Information
All isotopes of technetium are radioactive. Technetium-99, chemical symbol Tc-99, is a silver-gray, radioactive metal. It occurs naturally in minute amounts in the earth's crust, but is primarily man-made. The most commonly available isotope is Tc-99m (called metastable Tc-99) and is the shorter-lived parent of Tc-99.

Protecting People from Technetium-99
The Basics
Who discovered technetium-99?
In 1925, Ida Noddack-Tacke, Walter Noddack, and Otto Berg published an article in which they reported the discovery of element 43, which they named "masurium," in samples from uranium-rich ores. Because they were unable to concentrate masurium, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry eventually rejected their discovery. Discovery of technetium in 1937 in the form of technetium-97 has been credited to Emilio Segré and Carlo Perrier at the University of California - Berkeley. Technetium-99m, one of the most common isotopes used in modern medicine, was developed by Glenn T. Seaborg and Emilio Segré.
Where does Technetium-99 come from?
Technetium-99 is produced in commercial quantities mainly as a by product from the operation of nuclear reactors. Most of the Tc-99 produced in a nuclear reactor originates from the fission of uranium-235. The Tc-99 produced in the reactor may become part of its airborne, liquid, or solid wastes. In addition to being produced in nuclear reactors, Tc-99 is produced in the detonation of nuclear weapons.
Medical and academic institutions use molybdenum/technetium generators as a source of Tc-99m for diagnostic tests or research. In this case, the nuclear reactor provides the radioactive parent, molybdenum-99, for the technetium generator. Molybdenum-99 has a short (66 hour) half-life, and decays to the even shorter-lived (6 hrs) Tc-99m.
What are the properties of technetium-99?
Technetium-99 is silver-gray, radioactive metal. It occurs naturally only in very small amounts. Its melting point is 3,942 °F and its boiling point is 8,811 °F. It is also a very dense material at room temperature, a mass of technetium-99 weighs 11.5 times as much as an equal volume of water.
Technetium-99 has a radioactive half-life of 212,000 years. Technetium-99m (called metastable Tc-99) has a half-life of only about 6 hours and decays to Tc-99 primarily by gamma emission. Technetium-99 decays to form ruthenium-99, which is stable, by emitting beta and gamma radiation.
Technetium exhibits the complex chemistry of a transition metal. It dissolves in nitric acid, aqua regia, and hot concentrated sulfuric acid, but is insoluble in hydrochloric acid.
What is technetium-99 used for?
Technetium-99 has no significant industrial use. Technetium-99 is found in the radioactive wastes from defense-related government facilities, nuclear reactor and fuel cycle facilities, academic institutions, hospitals, and research establishments.
Its short-lived parent, Tc-99m, however, is the most widely used radioactive isotope for medical diagnostic studies.Technetium-99m is used for medical and research purposes, including evaluating the medical condition of the heart, kidneys, lungs, liver, spleen, and bone, among others, and also for blood flow studies.
Exposure to Technetium-99
How does technetium-99 get into the environment?
Most Tc-99 in the environment comes from a few sources:
- the detonation of nuclear weapons (especially atmospheric weapons tests)
- nuclear reactor airborne emissions
- nuclear fuel reprocessing plant airborne emissions
- facilities that treat or store radioactive waste.
Extremely small amounts of Tc-99 have entered the environment near a few radioactive waste disposal sites.
How does technetium-99 change in the environment?
Given its long half-life, 212,000 years, Tc-99 remains in the environment. Air, sea water, soils, plants, and animals contain very low concentrations of Tc-99. Organic matter in soils and sediments slows the transport of Tc-99.
In the presence of oxygen, plants readily take up technetium compounds from the soils. Some plants such as brown algae living in seawater are able to concentrate Tc-99. Technetium-99 can also transfer from seawater to animals.
How are people exposed to technetium-99?
Tiny amounts of Tc-99 are part of the environment, and are therefore found in food and water. Higher amounts may be found close to contaminated facilities such as federal weapons facilities or nuclear fuel cycle facilities. Exposure to technetium from the environment is unlikely. Most human exposure to technetium comes from the use of Tc-99m in nuclear medicine.
How does technetium-99 get into the body?
Ingestion is the primary entry route for Tc-99 into the body. This may occur by eating food or drinking water contaminated with Tc-99.
What does Technetium-99 do once it gets into the body?
Once in the human body, Tc-99 concentrates in the thyroid gland and the gastrointestinal tract. The body, however, excretes half of the ingested Tc-99 within 60 hours. It continues to excrete half of the remaining Tc-99 every 60 hours that follow. After 120 hours, only one-fourth of the ingested Tc-99 remains in the body. Nearly all of ingested technetium will be excreted from the body within a month.
Health Effects of Technetium-99
How can technetium-99 affect people's health?
As with any radioactive material, there is an increased chance that cancer or other adverse health effects can result from exposure to radioactivity.
Is there a medical test to determine exposure to technetium-99?
Special tests that measure the level of radioactivity from Tc-99 or other technetium isotopes in the urine, feces, and exhaled air can determine if a person has been exposed to technetium. These tests are better done soon after exposure as the body constantly excretes Tc-99 once ingested. However, hair retains Tc-99 for long periods and can be an indicator of Tc-99 contamination. The tests require special equipment and cannot be done in a doctor's office.
Protecting People from Technetium-99
What are EPA and other government agencies doing about technetium-99?
EPA has issued a variety of regulations that limit the release of radionuclides, including Tc-99, to the environment. These regulations address the following potential sources:
- airborne and liquid releases from the nuclear fuel cycle
- airborne emissions from a variety of industrial and governmental facilities
- allowable radioactive releases from radioactive waste disposal systems.
Most recently, EPA finalized public health and environmental radiation protection standards for the potential high level waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Because of the large quantity of spent nuclear fuel and defense high-level waste, Tc-99 is one of the more important radionuclides considered. The standards limit the radiation exposures of individuals and concentrations in ground water from the release of Tc-99 and other radionuclides in the vicinity of Yucca Mountain.
- Yucca Mountain Standards
describes EPA's role in the repository
- The Department of Energy's Yucca Mountain Project
describes DOE's role in building and licensing this DOE facility
EPA has established specific Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) that limit the concentration of Tc-99 and other radionuclides in drinking water from public water supplies.

I was wrong! But, I love the actual pick.
At one point, I had Kaddu in a mock to Miami in the 5th or 6th.
Last high light shows a lot of potential. Just tosses the blocker out of the way.
This was a good pick. He's one of Slimm's Gems that I had in rounds 4-5 back in December.
you KADUU it!!
I can hear the stadium yelling KADDDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU after every sack of his lol
Josh Kaddu
TOP TEN PROSPECTS WHO HELPED THEMSELVES AT THE EAST-WEST SHRINE: OLB Josh Kaddu, Oregon: Although he might not be the most technically-sound player, Kaddu has ideal size, frame and overall athleticism for the linebacker position. He is very lean throughout his body and needs to add some muscle mass, but showed off his fluidity and flexibility in practice with sideline-to-sideline range and very good closing burst. Kaddu has as much raw ability as anyone participating this week and could emerge as a top-100 player. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
Kaddu (Kah-DOO) was a three-star linebacker recruit out of high school, choosing Oregon over Arizona, Arizona State and Washington. He was expected to redshirt in 2008, but came off the bench and played in six games, recording 5 tackles. Kaddu saw more playing time in 2009 as a sophomore before a broken leg ended his season, finishing with 21 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack and 1 forced fumble. He became a full-time starter at strong-side linebacker in 2010 as a junior (13 starts), recording 32 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and 2 pass break-ups. Kaddu had his most productive season in 2011 as a senior (14 starts), finishing with 50 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 6.5
I am pretty good with this pick. Again high value, and possibly even switching him to safety to fill a spot of need

LRO/LCROSS Launch Press Kit, NASA, June 2009, http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/360020main_LRO_LCROSS_presskit2.pdf
Earth's closest neighbor, the moon, is holding a secret. In 1999, hints of this secret were revealed in the form of concentrated hydrogen signatures detected in permanently shadowed craters near the lunar poles by NASA's Lunar Prospector. These readings may be an indication of lunar water and could have far-reaching implications as humans expand exploration past low- Earth orbit. The LCROSS
mission is seeking a definitive answer.
In April 2006, NASA selected the LCROSS proposal for a low-cost, fast-track companion mission. The main LCROSS mission objective is to confirm if and in what form water may exist in one of these permanently shadowed craters. LCROSS launched with the LRO aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla.
After launch, LRO separated from LCROSS and continued on to the moon. The LCROSS (shepherding) spacecraft retained the Atlas V's Centaur upper stage rocket for use it as the primary impactor for the mission, something that has never been done with a Centaur. After sufficient distance from LRO was achieved, the shepherding spacecraft and the Centaur performed a "blowdown" maneuver to vent remaining fuel inside the Centaur and prevent contamination of the impact site.
Five days later, the shepherding spacecraft and the Centaur flew past of the Moon and entered an elongated Earth orbit to position LCROSS for impact on a lunar pole.
On final approach, LCROSS and the Centaur will separate. The Centaur will act as the first impactor to create a debris plume with some of the heavier material reaching a height of up to 6.2 miles (10 km) above the lunar surface. Following four minutes behind, LCROSS will fly through the debris plume, collecting and relaying data back to Earth before impacting the lunar surface and creating a second debris plume.
Lunar orbiting satellites and Earth-based telescopes on the ground and in orbit will observe the impacts and resulting debris plumes. The impacts are expected to be visible from Earth using telescopes 10-to-12 inches and larger. Data from these multiple sources will be used in preparation for the eventual return of humans to the moon.
The LCROSS science payload consists of two near-infrared spectrometers, a visible light spectrometer, two mid-infrared cameras, two near-infrared cameras, a visible camera, and a visible radiometer. The LCROSS instrument payload was designed to provide mission scientists with multiple complementary views of the debris plume created by the Centaur impact.
As the debris plume rises above the target crater's rim, it is exposed to sunlight and any water ice, hydrocarbons, or organics will vaporize and break down into their basic components. These components primarily will be monitored by the visible and infrared spectrometers. The near-infrared and mid-infrared cameras will determine the total amount and distribution of water in the debris plume. The spacecraft's visible camera will track the impact location and the behavior of the debris plume while the visible photometer will measure the flash created by the Centaur impact.
LCROSS is a fast-paced, low-cost, mission that leverages select NASA flight-ready systems, commercial-off-the-shelf components, the spacecraft expertise of Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems, Redondo Beach, Calif, and the experience gained from NASA's Lunar Prospector mission. NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif, is managing the mission, conducting mission operations, and developing the payload instruments, while Northrop Grumman designed and built the spacecraft for this innovative mission. Ames mission scientists will spearhead the data collection and analysis.

In 2000, I became quite familiar with bagels when I painted two-dozen of them. My illustrations were used on packaging for Lender's Bagels.
The art director wanted each bagel to have its own character. Many of the bagel flavors had different contours; some were rounder and others were more oval. Through experimentation, I discovered that markers and colored pencil worked best to create realistic illustrations. I added small amounts of acrylic to create details such as sesame, poppy seeds and highlights. I have included some close-ups of my illustrations.
All of these paintings were done before Photoshop existed. I have a blog where I describe my technique and have a lot more information. It is at:

Big thanks to Greg Simon of Simon Body Shop for stopping on his way to work to help me with my stalled car. I was lucky he had a tool box and was willing to change out my battery. I was able to get home instead of being stuck in a snowstorm.
I had recently been to Cracker Barrel for supper. As I was ready to leave and pay for my meal, the waitress came and told me some gentleman had already paid my bill. Thank you, you know who you are. The Lord bless you richly this season and in the new year. Your kindness will be passed on.
YWCA Northeast Indiana would like to give a tip of the hat to the Fort Wayne attorney (who wishes to remain anonymous) and to Steve Gard of The Oyster Bar for providing a wonderful meal for the 25 women and 20 children staying at our Crisis Shelter during their holiday party. Your continued support is always appreciated!
Tip your hat to someone. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or send by mail to: Tip of the Hat, The News-Sentinel, 600 W. Main St., Fort Wayne, IN 46802.

Fast-growing placement agent First Avenue has given another indication of its global ambitions with the hire of former Mirabaud sales chief John Owens to a key position.
Owens is the new principal for UK coverage at the firm where he will raise capital for both funds and direct corporate transactions, sources familiar with the situation said.
Financial News reported in November that Owens was to leave his role as sales chief at Mirabaud Investment Management, the London-based subsidiary of Swiss private bank Mirabaud et Cie, after 10 years. Prior to that, he spearheaded global institutional sales at Aberdeen Asset Management, and was also responsible for developing new institutional business across the globe at Aegon Asset Management.
Financial News understands that Owens will be working with David Hunter, principal, responsible for consultancy relationships and UK and Ireland coverage. Hunter was previously an actuary at financial consultant Mercer.
In January, First Avenue appointed former co-head of Goldman Sachs' private equity team in Europe, Clive Norton, as a senior adviser to its buyout team.
The firm has grown strongly since launch in May 2006, diversifying into providing fund advisory services for a range of products, including private equity, hedge funds, UCITS commodities infrastructure funds and direct corporate fundraising.
Late last year it acquired the majority of US investment bank Madison Williams' placement agent team, giving it bases in New York, Cleveland and San Francisco.
Sophie Baker, Finanial News
First Avenue is pleased to announce the promotion of Tavneet Bakshi to Global Head of Due Diligence. Tavneet spent the majority of her career with Morgan Stanley in London and Hong Kong. Most recently, Tavneet worked with Pioneer Alternative Investments (Hong Kong) as a Senior Analyst in Fund of Hedge Funds business with responsibility for Asia Hedge Fund Managers. Tavneet's new responsibilities span all of First Avenue's focus asset classes.
First Avenue is pleased to announce the appointment of Mei Niu to its Asian marketing team. Mei will be jointly responsible with Vicky Lai for the coverage of investors in Greater China.
Mei has extensive work experience both in China and the UK. She joined First Avenue from the British Private Equity and Venture Capital Association where she researched the investment performance of UK and Pan-European PE managers and led the organisation's engagement with the Chinese government, private equity managers and institutional investors. Mei also spent a period of time at Capital Dynamics, a Swiss-headquartered Fund of Funds, working on fund due diligence and their on-going engagement with private equity managers.
Prior to moving to the UK, Mei worked as a business consultant for an
US-headquartered multinational firm in China and a business executive at China Import and Export Corporation.

A pitbull was on the loose in the boxing ring on Nov. 2 in New York City, but Dusty Hernandez-Harrison was standing in the way.
Hernandez-Harrison, a Washington, D.C., resident and Thomas Stone High School graduate, fought Josh "The Pitbull" Torres, from Albuquerque, N.M., for the World Boxing Council Welterweight Youth Title belt that night at the Madison Square Garden theater.
Hernandez-Harrison needed all 10 rounds of the bout, the longest he's ever gone in the ring, to get the belt around his waist.
The 19-year-old defeated the 23-year-old Torres in a unanimous decision by scores of 100-90, 98-92 and 98-82 to continue his perfect professional career at 18-0, 10 wins by knockout.
"It feels good. I've got the title," Harrison said in a recent interview with Round by Round Boxing. "I'm happy. I went 10 strong rounds. I won 8-10 rounds; depends on how you watched it. I learned a lot during the fight. It was a good learning experience."
In that interview, Hernandez-Harrison said he's ready to get right back into the ring for his eighth fight this year. He will face 30-year-old Marlon Lewis (6-2-2, 3 KOs) of Memphis, Tenn., on Friday at the Dover Downs Hotel and Casino in Dover, Del.
"I'm right back in there on Nov. 22," Hernandez-Harrison said in the interview. "I do plan to fight in Washington D.C. again soon. I'd fight there every weekend if I could, but you do learn a lot fighting on the road. You see a lot. Obviously fighting at Madison Square Garden, you can't trade that for anything."
Hernandez-Harrison fought a conservative, smart five rounds against Torres, then finished out the last five with more precision and speed after suffering a cut over his right eye in the third round.
In Round 8, Hernandez-Harrison stunned Torres (12-3-1, 5 KOs) with a right hand to the face and finished out the last two rounds looking more like himself. He went back to the jab and threw more punches.
The last two rounds were great mixes of his combinations and Hernandez-Harrison resorted back to his defense, not allowing Torres to get in closer to him for inside body shots.
Jeff Fried, boxing promoter and agent to the Harrison family, is thrilled with the level that Harrison is fighting at.
"Dusty is considered one of the future superstars in the boxing industry and will have had an amazing eight bouts in 2013," Fried said. "He's keeping very active and his team's goal is for him to continue to learn from each of his boxing matches and maximize his development in and out of the ring."
Fried said that Harrison's eye has healed well and he will be ready to go Friday night. He's thrilled with his work ethic, a key to his continuous victory that has led to his undefeated record.
"Dusty is a young man with tremendous family values and is genuine in his approach with everyone and, most importantly, with himself," Fried said. "Combined with his talents, he displays the work ethic that enables him to maximize his opportunities. Dusty has an uncanny grounded self accountability in his training and preparation that will serve him well as he continues to develop as a young professional athlete."
"I am honored that Dusty and Buddy have that same trust in my family and me as we care about Dusty and his family," Fried said. "That mutual trust is right up there as a key component in maximizing the potential for a young athlete."
One thing the Harrison's still have on their side are their devoted fans that continue to pack the house. Over 250 fans traveled to New York to watch the matchup.
Fried suggested that Hernandez-Harrison will be fighting in Washington, D.C., within the next four months.
To purchase tickets for Friday's fight, call 202-331-3900.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
The PDGA has been promoting an episode of the show "Happy Endings" that aired tonight. The episode was to at least feature people playing disc golf with PDGA branded items. For this to occur on Prime Time television is a big lift for our sport. Here is what the PDGA said on their website about the subject:
"While increasing interest and popularity of this sport is evident in the worldwide participation and growing membership of Disc golfers, portrayal of this sport in the media is imperative for prosperity and awareness on a global level. Television is a monumental step in securing our place in sports history. " PDGA- DG on Prime TIme
A monumental step in securing our place in sports history; what the hell where you thinking. You must have a better plan to promote disc golf than to pin it on the hopes that a second rate comedy show would do it justice and not make fun of it. Please tell me you have a better plan than letting them call my sport a "Hobby", which they did. Please tell me you have a better plan than letting them call my sport "Frolf", which they did. Please tell me you have a better plan then letting them show that throwing a disc looks something like ballet in the park, which they did. Please tell me you have a better plan than letting them show a lady get hit in the head, because you know how hard it is to not hit people in the head from 5 feet away when your driving, but they did.
You promoted on Facebook, Twitter, and your website to tune in and watch the show take disc golf awareness to a global level. I wonder how disc golf looks on that global level after tonights episode of Happy Endings? Are you just trying to make us feel bad? Is that your way to pompt us to get off our ass and get out and promote the sport ourselves? Is that your better plan? I don't think so, I don't think you have a clue what it takes to break into the mainstream media and maintain any sense of dignity while doing it. I think you where just hoping that they wouldn't make fun of disc golf and that this would be a lucky break. You rolled the dice, played the lotto, and petted your lucky cricket, hoping that this would be the day disc golf got its free publicity. Well, it did, and now you know why it was free.
Don't get butt hurt that I'm on here pissing and moaning on how you screwed the pooch either. I'm not done yet, I want you to post admission that you screwed the pooch on all the social media sites that you used to get the word out to watch the show. Then I want you to invite help from those of us down here on the front line playing DG and supporting our local clubs. There may be some of us that are able to help push the needle for the sport. If you don't know how to get those focus groups going at the local levels, you better figure it out quick. I'm done ranting I guess, I've got more to say, but f*ck it, i'm frustrated.
AND......If you think I'm not the kind of guy to put my money where my mouth is PDGA, PM me.
Ps- DGRUS faithful, if you just want to play and don't give a crap about this stuff, I won't be offended if you just ignore this post.

Aw f*&k it, who cares. At least there will be less people on the tee pads taking up space. I have taught my kids to play and a few of their friends. Thats enough I guess, moving on.
Don't say "Aw F*&k it, who cares." One of the things I like about you is your passion for the game. You have a great attitude for the sport. You are the "Unsilent Majority". The people who play, who cares, are the ones that teaches others. Keep carrying the torch, for there are many walking behind you who feels the same.
Disc Golf is not for everyone. Just like Basketball is not for me...... I can't jump and I do not shoot very well. I am not good at Disc Golf, My handicap is me. But I love to play, I love the game, I love the people who play. You have my vote. Keep it up.
DG has been in a fair few things. It wasn't horribly done in the CBS show Numb3rs.
See how easy the game is?
Even actors hit aces????!
Ridiculous. Moronic. I am not a PDGA pusher, but fingers should point in the right direction... this isn't a witch trial. The PDGA didn't send that idiotic show or it's writers the material they produced. Are you an idiot? So the PDGA get's real excited that we have a CHANCE to be recognized in a serious manner... and it FLOPPED. They hoped, it didn't work out. So what. WOW DOOKFACE..... REALLY?
I wouldn't worry too much about this one incident. By the looks of the show, the ratings must terrible.
And I turned it off as soon as they said frolf.

Behind 28-21 with seven minutes to play, the Patuxent Panthers scored the final 14 points to surge past the visiting Gwynn Park Yellow Jackets from Prince George's County, 35-28, in the Class 2A South Region football championship game on Friday night.
It marks Patuxent's first regional championship since 2001.
"I'll put my buddies in SMAC up against any of these teams," Patuxent head coach Steve Crounse said, alluding to the battles the Panthers had been in all season. "The games we play week-in and week-out prepare us for this. But Gwynn Park is a well-coached team with a ton of weapons, and their D-line played very well."
After Gwynn Park's Aaron Parker recovered a fumble in the endzone and a successful two-point conversion put the visitors up 28-21, Patuxent (12-0 overall) responded with an eight-play, 71-yard drive and tied the game on Tyler Crounse's 6-yard touchdown run and point-after by kicker Eric Chaconas
The Panthers' defense held on the next Gwynn Park series, and a short punt left Patuxent in prime field position at the Gwynn Park 35-yard line.
It took four plays for Patuxent to drive for the game-winning score, with Crounse again doing the honors, this time from 13 yards out. Chaconas' point-after pushed the lead to the eventual final margin.
Patuxent outgained Gwynn Park (11-1) 379-263, but the Panthers lost four fumbles on the night, including two that turned into touchdowns.
Parker scored the game's first points after scooping up a loose ball and returned it 20 yards for a touchdown. The fumble came as the result of an errant snap – a theme for the night for the Panthers.
But Patuxent answered with Crounse's 56-yard touchdown pass to Rafiq Douglas. The teams then traded touchdowns the duration of the game until Patuxent scored two in a row on Crounse's fourth-quarter touchdown runs to surge ahead.
Crounse finished the game with 168 yards on 29 carries, and completed 11 passes for 211 yards.
Gwynn Park held Douglas to just 36 yards on the ground on 14 carries, with a late third-quarter touchdown from two yards out. But Douglas played an active part in the passing game, catching four balls for 97 yards and the one touchdown.
Greg Leonard also caught a 23-yard touchdown pass for the Panthers that gave them a 14-12 halftime lead, and Joey Parsons caught four passes for 68 yards.
Patuxent will host Patterson of Baltimore, the 2A North Region champion, in the 2A state semifinals next week.

Jefferson County: Early Sunday morning, October 14 a bicyclist was air cared after he was struck by a vehicle. According to Trooper Joe May, early Sunday morning at approximately 2:55 a 2004 Honda Civic driven by 50 year old Keith Leuders of Madison was traveling west on S.R. 62 east of Clifty Falls State Park when he struck a bicycle being ridden by 20 year old Gerald W. Ritch also of Madison. Leuders told Tpr. May the bicycle was right in the center of the lane, didn't have any lighting, and the operator was not wearing any reflective clothing. Ritch, who was not wearing a helmet was air-cared to University Hospital in Louisville, KY and was released later in the day Sunday. Evidence suggests Ritch may have been intoxicated at the time of the crash and Tpr. May believes alcohol was a likely factor in the crash.
The crash remains under investigation. Tpr. May was assisted by Jefferson County Sheriff's Department and Madison Police Department.

Posted in Our Planet, Our Universe
The sky's sheer size and beauty takes our breath away, but what exactly makes the sky so blue? Due to a phenomenon coined Rayleigh Scattering, the spectrum of colors ranging from violet to red, either pass through or deflect off of the earth's atmosphere, which is made up of mostly nitrogen and oxygen. Longer wavelengths of red, yellow and orange colors of the spectrum have little affect on these tiny particles that make up our atmosphere. However, shorter wavelengths of blue are deflected and are scattered all around us, causing the sky to appear blue no matter where we look.
Our Planet, Our Universe: Earth and Space, opening as a permanent exhibit on September 25, 2010, will provide guests the opportunity to discover and explore black holes, Martian terrain and of course, why our sky is blue. Allow us to beam you up to enjoy the vastness of the cosmos, as well as the complexity of our fascinating planet.

About Rain Forest Aerial Trams
The original Rain Forest Aerial Tram Atlantic was established in 1994 in Costa Rica by H.J. Von der Goltz, a visionary and nature lover. It was the first operation of its kind anywhere in the world, with a unique requirement: it had to be built in the middle of 1,200 acres of dense jungle without impacting the forest. Today, five Rain Forest Aerial Trams located in Costa Rica (Pacific and Atlantic), Saint Lucia, Dominica and Jamaica, serve as wildlife reserves and ecotourism attractions. The exceptional combination of attractions such as the Tram ride, Bobsled and Zip Line plus the experience, training and commitment of a multi-lingual and naturalist guides guarantees an educational, adventurous and unforgettable experience for guests. www.rainforest-adventures.com

Pretty hard to burn the wire with one that small. I use a small one like that every once in a while pretty hard to do. Save your money for what you have been using.

The manual for the MM 252 shows that when operated on 230 V, it requires a minimum of 46 amps and would need a 50 amp circuit breaker with appropriate-sized wiring.Miller Syncrowave 200

Lincoln AC/DC "Tombstone"
Your 120v requirement limits your choices
My Passport plus will weld 1/8" AL on a 20amp 120v circuit
I haven't tried the MM211 on 120v
Your question about the generator suggests you don't have access to 240v at home for some reasonEd Conley

I don't do aluminum but have seen posts using the Miller 211 with spool gun. This may be the right machine for you reviewing the specs on it. It is 110/220 volts and the rebate is current until end of August.

Second, it will do 1/8 steel no problem. I've never tried AL, but my impression of the other posts on the subject over the years is that its aluminum capabilities are at best limited.
Third, the MM140 is a 110/120 machine. Just make sure that the circuit you plug into has 20A or so capacity and that you're not running other big current hogs on the same circuit (unless you like repeated trips to the circuit breakers :-)
Finally, the machine itself is a good machine _within_ _its_ _limitations_ and as far as I can tell, none of its limitations are surprises.

So would the 211 be a better choice?
I was also looking at the multimatic 200 because I would also be able to tig and stick weld if neccesary.
What do you guys with all the expieriance think?

What size generator(watts) do you guys use to run a MM211

Yes, Mass Effect does contain some sex and nudity. However, I find it rather sad and disappointing to present it as if the entire point of 20-30 hour long game is score with blue-skinned alien chicks, when the fact is that it's far more complicated than that. And never mind the fact that it's entirely avoidable, if you want to play that way -- I've yet to encounter a sexual scene at all, because I'm deliberately not playing it that way (though there has been a scene or two in which my character is flirted with).
Suffice to say, a lot of folks are pissed off. EA has sent a letter to Fox, asking them to correct various inaccurate statements. And a number of folks have gone to Amazon and posted negative reviews and ratings for Lawrence's latest book.

My favourite comfort food: sliced beef and tomato over rice with baby bok choy. Some days in university I`d eat it every day for like 2 weeks, then take a break for a few days, but always bring it back right away. Yum. I could use some beef and tomato now. But the point is, we all need space from things we love the most. Full Story

The blog hop will be open all week! Scroll to the end of this post to link up!!
Even though I added a headboard to my bed and I LOVED the look of it, I've been looking for something to hang above it. In browsing the web, I came across the idea of wrapping fabric around shoe box lids. Those are both items I have around my house, so why not give it a try?
First gather the shoe box lids:
Then, hot glue fabric around it. I wasn't too picky with what the back looked like, but I basically folded it like you would wrap a present.
When I put it up, I'm not sure I like the color choices with the rest of my bedroom decor. Plus the square lids are a bit big.
Here is a close up, so you can better see the pattern:
Still, this is a great idea for a cheap redo of wall decor!! I'm linking this up to Today's Creative Blog.
I also saw this great idea on Pinterest of using Styrofoam and scrapbook paper as wall art! I might have to do this one for above my bed!
Now for the blog hop!!

In the living room of photographer and hostess Jean Howard's Beverly Hills home, Venetian pieces—a carved gilt-wood mirror and a neoclassical console—complement Modigliani's Portrait of Elvira, while an 18th-century lacquer coromandel screen and a porcelain lamp harmonize with the moody, dark-green walls. "I like people to come into my living room and not be afraid to sit down," Howard told AD in the June 1978 issue. "That's why my taste runs to large pieces of furniture. They're practical and comfortable."

Bucs "man up" to crush Appalachian State, 79-51
Requires Adobe Flash

Click here for ETSU vs. Appalachian State Box Score
Mike Smith
Friday, December 24, 2010
CANCUN, Mexico (Dec. 24, 2010)
Wishing for some early Christmas cheer in the form of a solid performance on the court, the ETSU men's basketball team made it happen Friday in the third round of the Cancun Governor's Cup at the Poliforum Benito Juarez.
Powered by a double-double performance from senior guard
Mike Smith
(Vandalia, Mo.) that included a game-high 20 points and career-high 16 rebounds, the Buccaneers also utilized an effective man-to-man defense and a 16-point first half offensive run to drop former Southern Conference rival Appalachian State decisively in a 79-51 blowout.
"That was probably our best 39 minutes of basketball this season," said ETSU head coach
Murry Bartow
, whose team improved to 5-7 on the season. "We really debated it all night about whether to go zone or man. We decided to go with the 3-2 zone and one minute later it was 5-0 and they had made two baskets. We called time out and went man the rest of the way.
"Offensively, things just look better when you're making shots. Mike was just phenomenal, and other guys really stepped up too. It was big to get out of here with a win."
Smith was certainly not alone on the offensive end, as junior forward
Isiah Brown
(Miami) scored 16, junior guard
Adam Sollazzo
(Tampa) netted 14, and senior guard
Micah Williams
(Manchester) had 13. The Bucs also shot 57 percent from the floor, 43 percent from 3-point range, and 74 percent from the foul line for the game.
Meanwhile, they held Appalachian to just 32 percent shooting from the floor and 29 percent from beyond the arc. More impressively, the Bucs outrebounded the Mountaineers 39-26 for the game.
Appalachian State did take advantage of the zone in the early going and led 5-0 with 18:43 left in the first half. However, Bartow took timeout at that point and did make the defensive switch, while also allowing the Bucs to use their fullcourt press defense.
The combination worked in tandem with an efficient offense, as the Bucs responded with a 16-0 run over the next three minutes of play. Appalachian would get back to within six points at 25-19 but that would be as close as they would get the rest of the game, as ETSU manufactured another 9-0 run later in the half to build a 45-26 advantage.
In the second half, ETSU never let up and the Mountaineers got no closer than 14 at 51-37 with 14:53 remaining.
For the Mountaineers, Omar Carter led the way with 16 points, while Nathan Healy had 14.
The Bucs, who finished 1-2 in the Cancun event, will return home on Christmas day and plan to enjoy a few days off for the holiday break. They will return to work later in the week to prepare for the return of Atlantic Sun Conference action, as the Bucs return to the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center to take on league foe Campbell on Dec. 30 at 7 p.m.
