Lacey, before and after receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital
When ASPCA Special Agent Ann Kelly brought hound mix puppies Cagney and Lacey to the ASPCA Animal Hospital on February 17, the two were so skinny that their bones were visible from across the room.
The dogs' owner, Gillian Irving, relinquished them to the ASPCA after Agent Kelly visited her home in the Norwood section of the Bronx. In April, Agent Kelly arrested Irving, who was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. (If convicted, Irving faces up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.)
Meanwhile, under the care of our veterinary professionals, the frightened dogs put on weight quickly: Cagney went from 16.4 to 27.1 pounds, and Lacey from 15.2 to 26.9, in the months leading up to Irving's arrest.
As these shy puppies gained weight, they also made new friends among ASPCA staff and learned that new people weren't so scary after all. At first, the dogs "would cower to the ground when they were removed from their kennels," recalls ASPCA Senior Behavior and Training Manager Victoria Wells. "Once the vets gave the medical okay, they were paired up with each other and more confident dogs for play sessions and walks to expose them to new people and places. They slowly began to overcome their fear."
They even made a special friend in Kim Danley, a licensed veterinary technician. When the dogs were ready to move to foster homes, Danley brought Lacey to the home she shared with her Rottweiler and ASPCA-alumnus cat, while Cagney went to another foster home.
As Danley invested lots of time in teaching Lacey that new people and places were exciting, not scary, Lacey became an irreplaceable member of the family. When Lacey was made available for adoption, Danley decided to make it official. She filled out the paperwork and renamed her Frankie.
Since then, the Danley family has moved to California, where Frankie loves running on the beach, sunbathing on her deck and taking boat rides. Danley reports that "now she's the happiest dog in the world. She and Charlie sleep curled up with each other every night. She's not afraid of a thing."

Now, with first-ever third-person reference!
Please note that this draft assumes the FA signing of a WR (Jennings?), TE (Cook?) and re-signing Randy Starks.
1) Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon. A little early? Maybe. I hear "trade back" all the time - the problem is that you need a trade partner. The kid is an absolute freak.
2a) Kevin Minter, ILB, LSU. This lets Dansby move back outside.
2b) Eric Reid, FS, LSU. I think the Fins might trade up to get him if he drops to the middle of the second. You know what's funny? I don't even like LSU.
3a) Larry Warford, G, Kentucky
3b) Quentin Patton, WR, Louisiana Tech. I absolutely love this kid. Have I mentioned I've never been to Louisiana? A WR corps of Jennings, Patton, Hartline, Bess, et al would be a massive upgrade over 2012.
4) Tyrann Mathieu, CB, LSU. Yes, the Honey Badger. Yes, really. At this point in the draft, the juice is worth the squeeze. You want playmakers? He's one. Oh, hey...he's from LSU.
5) - Traded to move up in the 2nd -
6) - Supplemental - Caleb Sturgis, K, Florida. For the Carpenter haters.
7) Chad Bumphis - WR - Mississippi State
Your thoughts are welcomed.

Recipe by B1BMOM
"This recipe was given to me by a friend of mine many years ago and I enjoy it because it has a different taste and is so easy to fix."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons
white sugar
1 teaspoon
1/2 cup
vegetable oil
2 tablespoons
I would not use this recipe (as stated) for desserts. The crust would be too salty for a dessert. However, it would be great for a quiche. If you decrease the salt by half and use a generous tablespoon of sugar (instead of only 2 tsp) - this is great! Fortunately I tasted the dough before pressing it into the pan - and added enough extra sugar to still use it for my pecan pie. Came out fantastic! Since pecan pies typically bake for a long time, I didn't bother baking the crust and it came out cooked through after an hour and a half baking. Rating four stars because this produced a very simple and quick alternative to rolling out a pie crust - and if enough sugar is added, is very tasty!
Wow, it was easy for sure, and I even made two batches of it but gosh it was really grainy/sandy in texture. There was a bit of an oily taste as mentioned by other reviewers -- I made one batch with veg oil and one with olive oil -- the olive was probably the least successful in terms of taste. This is a fine recipe when you're in a pinch but when I have the luxury of time and a special recipe, I would go for a real crust. That said, my husband and son didn't mind it at all for my homemade pot pies. (For the tops, I pressed the dough into rounds on WAXED PAPER and then picked it up and turned it onto the pie - very easy.)

I have avoided making pie crusts for many years because I could never get it right. They were too much effort and always turned out tough. But I gave this recipe a try and I am absolutely ecstatic to have found such an easy recipe that turned out so well! It was tender, flaky and flavorful! My crust was for a quiche and I used olive oil as another reviewer here suggested. It turned out fantastic. This is a keeper for sure and I am saying goodbye to Pillsbury crusts! Thank you so much for a great recipe that will definitely save me time and money in the kitchen.
An update on my original review - I healthied this recipe up a bit by using 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour plus 1 cup of white flour and it turned out great.
FINALLY! A pie crust that works! I just found this recipe a couple of weeks ago and I've made it at least 10 times. I've used it as a cobbler crust, top and bottom layers of fruit pie, even cut up sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. It's so so good! I do agree with past reviewers that if you're making a sweet dish, use only a pinch of salt and up the sugar quite a bit. If you're making a savory dish, like a quiche, leave the recipe as is or cut the salt just a bit. Otherwise, this recipe is IT!!!
I used olive oil and it turned out great, couldn't taste the olive flavor at all! So much healthier than pie crusts full of butter and easier too :)
I had given up on making pies until now :)
Thank you Louise!
I was looking for a quick pie crust to make an instant cheesecake... This pie crust has got to be one of the best! It was wonderful. I, too, would decrease the salt a bit, as it was slightly salty. All in all, though, this pie crust is one of the best!
This was very easy and it tasted better than store-bought and frozen crust. Will make again, but I won't pre-bake it this time- it came out a little burnt on the edges after I baked the filling in it.
It was a great crust and so easy. Before i read the directions, i got out a mixing bowl. Then, WOW, no need for a mixing bowl. Boy was i happy; one less dish to clean. I think that for fruit pies, i might add a little more sugar. but for all others, it was great.

Although A christmas carol has been done many times over, this one looks really good and I think it's supposed to closely follow the storyline in the original Charles Dickens Classic.
This one is supposed to be done in a realistic looking CG and it has Jim Carrey doing the voice of scrooge.
It doesn't look as though anyone has posted anything on it yet, although it's still October...so I thought I would post a thread on it. I think it looks good. Does anyone plan to see this this year?

What is locum tenens? In Latin, the phrase means "one holding a place." In healthcare, it means holding a temporary position as a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant.
Who hires locum tenens professionals? Some hospitals and facilities around the country use locums to cover for permanent staff who take time off. Others request help when they're understaffed or need extra support for seasonal outbreaks. Assignments can be as short as a day shift or weekend, as long as several months, and anything in-between.
That's the beauty of locum tenens: every assignment is individual. And CompHealth can match you with the one that meets your individual needs.

A few decades ago, digital communications promised to sound the death knell for printing and the paperless office was predicted to be just a matter of time. Yet the paperless office has failed to materialise, with email and the internet actually leading to more printed documents. The popularity of smartphones and tablets in the workplace is now leading to similar warnings of less printing, with iPads and other tablets in particular expected to displace the printed page. However, Quocirca believes that this supposed threat to printing actually opens a new landscape of opportunity to printer vendors – but only if they can provide simple, reliable and secure ways to print from mobile devices.
Undeniably, the consumerisaton of IT is having a profound impact on the use of smartphones and tablets in the workplace. Today's dynamic and mobile workforce is now relying on personal devices in their professional lives and expect anytime, anywhere access to corporate systems – including printing. Even in this era of smartphones and tablets, businesses continue to rely on printing – 75% of 125 enterprise respondents in a recent Quocirca survey indicated printing as playing an important role in supporting business activities. There is certainly an appetite for printing from mobile devices with 55% of respondents indicating that employees would like to be able to print from their mobile devices. Around 25% are already investigating mobile print solutions.
Given the diversity of mobile platforms and printer hardware, it is unsurprising that the mobile printing market is fragmented, characterised by an array of hardware, software and cloud-based services. Not only is the demand for mobile printing an opportunity for more hardware sales – HP, for instance, shipped over 15 million web-enabled ePrint printers in 2011 – but it also enables vendors to capture pages as they shift from the desktop to the mobile device. In many cases these are 'high value' colour pages that generate additional revenue opportunities.
Mobile printing usage scenarios can be broadly categorised as either public printing/guest printing services or printing across a corporate network. Public/guest printing covers 'hot-spots' such as hotels, business centres or airports that offer Wi-Fi connectivity, web access and print and copy services. Mobile workers can discover printers and use universal print drivers, web-based means of submitting print jobs or send them as an email attachment from their mobile devices. Public print locations should require an authentication code before users can release a print job from a designated printer to ensure that print jobs are not mislaid or stolen by passing employees or members of the public. Examples include EFI's PrintMe service which is available at more than 3,000 public locations; HP ePrint public print locations such as FedEx and Hilton; and Ricoh's HotSpot printing which uses PrinterOn's public printing network. PrinterOn's Mobile Printing Solution currently supports over 7000 PrinterOn print locations worldwide.
Printing from any device to any printer or MFP across a corporate network promotes user mobility across company locations. Printing may be direct from a mobile device or application, via an email attachment to a registered printer or through a web browser, using a public or private cloud. When deployed in the enterprise, it is critical that mobile print solutions are vendor-agnostic, use a private cloud approach and employ encryption and authentication methods to ensure document security and privacy.
The mobile printing ecosystem is broadly populated by printer/copier manufacturers and independent software vendors (ISVs).Hardware manufacturers may typically offer a mobile printing portfolio that comprises hardware, software and services. Printers may be cloud or web-enabled, as in the case of HP's ePrint or Ricoh's HotSpot range of printers. This allows devices to be registered for these vendors' respective cloud printing services.
Most of the hardware-centric mobile print solutions are brand-specific, although some do offer multivendor support. Hardware manufacturers such as Canon, HP, Lexmark, Ricoh and Xerox also offer mobile printing services as part of their managed print services (MPS) portfolio, enabling organisations to manage and track printing across both desktop and mobile environments. However, Canon's uniFLOW platform, in particular, is currently the only integrated print management platform that tracks and reports on both desktop and mobile printing.
ISVs such as EFI, Cortado and PrinterOn all offer vendor-agnostic mobile print solutions. Solutions such as EFI's PrintMe Mobile are particularly suitable for organisations operating a mixed fleet, avoiding the need to implement multiple solutions for each mobile platform and printer or MFP. In many cases, hardware vendors will partner with ISVs to deliver multivendor support where appropriate.
Currently the only mobile OS platform to offer direct printing support is Apple's AirPrint. This offers wireless printing from iPad, iPhone (3GS or later) or iPod touch (3rd generation or later) devices to AirPrint-enabled devices. These include selected printers from Brother, Canon, Epson, HP and Lexmark. Google Cloud Print, currently in beta, offers printing from smartphones or tablets with Gmail for mobile, Google Docs for mobile and other supported apps to cloud-enabled printers.
Given the lack of standardisation around mobile printing, organisations are faced with a challenging task in navigating the range of solutions on offer. Whilst smartphones and tablets may diminish the need for a certain amount of printing, it is not going to eradicate it. Therefore, organisations should offer employees mobile printing capabilities that enable them to remain productive, whilst also ensuring mobile printing is tracked and secured in the same way as desktop printing. Quocirca believes that mobile printing will become a crucial part of an overall enterprise print strategy as pages gradually shift from the desktop to the mobile device.

I think it may be possible to use USB ports for mobile printing.
New mobile devices have USB and new printers have USB.
All we need is a cable and a special software - universal driver that will support all printers.

The IEEE-ISTO Printer Working Group standards body is getting close to completing the printing related portion of its IPP Everywhere specification. A major impetus for creating the specification was to be able to support mobile printing.
More information is available on the PWG web site.

- "Too bright were the eyes of Arien for even the Eldar to look on, and leaving Valinor she forsook the form and raiment which like the Valar she had worn there, and she was as a naked flame, terrible in the fullness of her splendor."
- ― "Of the Sun and Moon and the Hiding of Valinor"
Arien (Q, pron. [ˈari.en]) was a Maia who guided the Sun.
After the destruction of the Two Trees, Arien, a Maia was chosen by the Valar to guide a vessel made by Aule which held the last fruit of Laurelin above the airs of Arda. This vessel was of course the Sun. In the days of the Two Trees Arien had tended Laurelin and was a spirit of fire, not unlike Balrogs before their downfall to shadow thanks to Melkor. She was therfore able to stand the heats of the Sun. It is said that she was mightier than Tilion, the Maia chosen to guide the Moon, who loved her and followed her through the night sky sometimes catching up to her and becoming burned and blackend by her heat.
Other Versions of the Legendarium
In earlier writings by Tolkien, Tilion is said to have been in love with Arien, and because he sought her out the Moon was scarred.
In other writings, Morgoth wanted to claim Arien as a wife, and ravished her, upon which she abandoned her body and "died", leaving the Sun to travel through the skies uncontrollably and burning parts of Arda the world. As well, it is stated in other abandoned writings that she was a Maia of Varda. It is not clear if it was Tolkien's intent to keep these elements in The Silmarillion tradition, had he lived long enough to publish it.
Arien means "Maiden of Sunlight" in Quenya, from árë "sunlight" and -ien feminine suffix.
Since Arien is connected to the "daisy" (corruption of day's eye), it is possible that the name comes from árë + hen "eye"
