Get up-to-the minute stats throughout the match
One of the most talked about plays over the weekend was the decision by referee Allen Chapman to not issue a red card to Tally Hall when he took down Galaxy forward Jose Villareal in the 24th minute of Sunday's 1-0 Dynamo win.
Galaxy players and coaches were not shy about their displeasure. Head coach Bruce Arena told reporters after the match: "I think in most cases that is a red card, but to not even give a card...if they give a yellow card you can understand that, maybe, but it is remarkable he didn't give a card on the play."
So why didn't Chapman issue a red card on the play? According to MLSsoccer.com senior editor Simon Borg, Chapman made the correct call because Villarreal's touch around Hall took him away from the goal and not toward it. Borg also pointed out that Dynamo defender Bobby Boswell had recovered and was in position to protect the net had Villarreal gotten around Hall, meaning that the Dynamo goalkeeper was not the last man on the play.
ESPN broadcaster Adrian Healy, who called the play-by-play for Sunday's match agreed with Borg and had this to say on Twitter (FYI DOGSO stands for Denial of a Goal Scoring Opportunity):
Why wasn't Tally Hall sent off? Cos it didn't satisfy 2 of 4 D's of DOGSO. Direction, & no.of Defs. Has to be ALL 4 for red. #LAG #HOU
— Adrian Healey (@AdrianHealey) May 7, 2013
So what do you say Dynamo fans? Do you think the referee made the correct call on Sunday? Would you have given Hall a yellow card? Let us know in the comments section below!
Relive the Dynamo's big 1-0 win over the LA Galaxy in this edition of Dynamo Rewind. Tally Hall's penalty save and Andrew Driver's goal gave the men in orange their first win on the road in 2013.
Who was your man of the match? Let us know in the comments below!
The Houston Dynamo and LA Galaxy will play Sunday night in a rematch of the previous two MLS Cup finals. The Dynamo are 6-6-4 all-time vs. the Galaxy with a 2-3-2 regular season record vs. LA at The Home Depot Center. The Dynamo won the regular season series last year, defeating the Galaxy 2-1 at BBVA Compass Stadium on May 26, but the Galaxy got the last laugh, winning MLS Cup 3-1 in front of their home side on December 1.

Florida Interior Design
Challenging Florida's Unconstitutional Interior Design Law
IJ Clients Eva Locke and Pat Levenson
WATCH: Free to Design: Florida Entrepreneurs Take On the Interior Design Cartel
A small group of well-funded industry insiders led by the American Society of Interior Designers has been relentless in its pursuit of ever more restrictive laws. Studies have shown that interior design regulations result in higher prices, less variety, and fewer employment opportunities, especially for minorities and older mid-career switchers.
On May 26, 2009, the Institute for Justice joined with three interior designers—Eva Locke, Pat Levenson and Barbara Gardner—and the National Federation of Independent Business to file a lawsuit in federal court in Tallahassee challenging Florida's interior design law.
Florida's law is a blatant abuse of government power that stifles speech and entrepreneurship to protect a favored industry from honest competition. The trial court struck down a portion of the law that prohibited unlicensed interior designers from truthfully advertising services they were lawfully permitted to perform. Unfortunately, the trial court upheld the law's limitations on who could practice nonresidential interior design, but did so only after interpreting the law to cover a very narrow range of prohibited activities. The Eleventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed that ruling and, on January 9, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to review the case. As a result, the law remains in place, but has been severely weakened.

Interstate signs for services not happening anytime soon
CONCORD — Restaurants and hotels and the rest of the tourism industry will have to wait before interstate highway service signs will bear their names and logos.
New Hampshire is one of only five states not allowing service signs on interstate highways although they are at exit ramps.
Senate Bill 29 would allow the service signs with the logo and name of restaurants, hotels, gas stations, etc. on the interstates and would also allow the Department of Transportation to contract with a private company to sell, install and maintain the signs.
The House Public Works and Highways Committee voted 13-2 to send the bill to interim study. The committee can recommend legislation for the 2015 session, but the next Legislature will decide whether to take action.
Chambers of Commerce and the hospitality industry backed the bill, saying it will help the state's second biggest industry — tourism — and add revenues to the state's coffers.
"The New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Association supports SB 29 because as a state that relies heavily on tourism we must recognize that service information provided at the appropriate time while traveling our highways is one small convenience that adds to a positive visitor experience," said Mike Somers, president and CEO of the organization. "The information that would be provided through this sign program will help drive visitors to our members and ultimately generate revenue for the state."
But several members of the committee said tourists do not come to the state for signs, they come here to see the natural beauty, mountains and foliage.
"I oppose any expansion. Enjoying the scenic beauty of New Hampshire is the primary reason they come here," said House Minority Leader and former long-time public works chairman, Rep. Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett. "People in the North Country do not favor these types of things once you get up where the visitors come to look at our mountains and foliage."
The bill was requested by the Department of Transportation, which runs the program but is forbidden by state law from making a profit on it.
New Hampshire is one of 45 states that participates in the federal Motorist Service Signing Program, but is the only state to prohibit the service signs on the interstate highways.
The federal program allows four exit signs, two in each direction on exit ramps and sets the size of the billboards that hold up to six logo signs.
The department said the service sign program requires employees to spend time on the signs that could be better spent doing other sign work, according to Bill Lambert, state traffic engineer.
He said the department believes it can allow the logo signs on the interstate highways but would like to turn over operations and maintenance to a private company.
Just the exit signs would not generate enough interest for a private company to bid, Lambert told the committee.
But Rep. Kevin Waterhouse, R-Windham, said allowing the logo signs on the highway is a major change of policy.
"This is the information age. People aren't out there without resources," he said. "Lady Bird Johnson worked to get billboards off our highways, and now you're trying to put them back up again."
Sending the bill to interim study would kill it, said Rep. Peter Ramsey, D-Manchester.
"Almost the entire New Hampshire tourism industry is asking us to help them at a time when it is difficult for them," Ramsey said, "It is discouraging to me. This is the second largest industry in New Hampshire and we're ignoring them."
The bill will come before the House during one of the first three session days of the 2014 Legislature.
The committee also voted to recommend that House Bill 534 be approved by the full House. The bill establishes a committee to study the sale of naming rights or sponsorships for state-owned structures such as rest areas.
And the committee voted to approve Senate Bill 15, to name a section of Route 101 after the 101st Airborne Division Screaming Eagles, and House Bill 684, which allows cities and towns to replace closed bridges in the state's 10-year highway plan and collect money from the state in the future.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 37 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dave Incredible deal, great quality I purchased this curl bar for my home gym. It is just like the curl bars I have used in gyms over the last decade. I have been very satisfied with the Fitness Gear brand. I also got the Fitness Gear olympic plate tree and 300lb olympic weight set. Fitness Gear has helped me achieve a long time goal of developing a home gym on a small budget. More than I ever expected for the price! June 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by kwhitenj Great Bar and Clamps For the money I was spending I was very hesitant to pull the trigger. The curling bar was exactly what was promised. It's a solid bar with great pressure clamps that hold the weight well. The price is a little high, but still a good value. I would recommend purchasing this bar if you are a serious weight lifter. July 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by Hoochie Koala Eh...(shrug) Agree with previous writer. Inexpensive is really the only pro. It's ok for heavy home use. I blame myself for not opening the box but i didn't expect the ridged sleeve design. It's not the smooth sleeve as advertised. Screw-down collars blow anyway, especially when changing plates frequently. These collars are junk. Grab yourself some quick release collars or splurge on a better bar. September 29, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5�by EDoubleL1 Curl Bar Greatness! Great workout bar. This bar helps me perform a variety of different workouts, especially since my arm structure is abnormal and can't fully straighten them out. The curl bar serve well due to its curvature. June 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by uling00 Curl Bar The bar does what it advertises. it's a good value, and but the collars are heavy so you have to make sure you are adding the weights correctly. April 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by rellah98 Great product!!! I purchased this item to replace the old one I was using. I like the plastic piece that holds the weights on much better than the grips on my old one. It is a great item. I would recommend this item. January 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by june_dip Heavy Duty craftsmanship! Highly recommended product for those who seek quality manufacturing at an affordable price! Very effective for both compound and isolation exercises with shiny sleek clamps included and great weight capacity! This product certainly won't disappoint even the extreme weightlifter! December 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by Sherm Overall nice product The only negative is the locking mechanism to keep the weights on are useless. I had to buy better clamps. May 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by JonnyBoy Great Value Great Value for the money. Works perfectly and really like the weight locks. November 15, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mikeyb Curl bar What I like about the bar is the clamps that hold the weights on. They are made of plastic but easy and quick to use. Use just slide them on and turn handle They are locked. April 29, 2014

Morecambe Jubilee Street Party I
There's one thing you can't count on in Britain…. and that's the weather. It's the Diamond Jubilee this weekend; 60 years Queen Elizabeth has been on the throne. The Brits have a 4 day weekend to celebrate and it looks as if our token few days of decent weather have already been granted for Spring – so now we're back to semi-normal weather, cool, grey and wet. Of the hundreds of street parties scheduled for the celebrations across the country, most were for today. And the weather really couldn't have been worse.
I chose to go to one on England's west coast, in Morecambe, Lancashire as they were trying for a record breaking party on the promenade. Have a look at the brave residents who came out in style.. More in Post II.

Pancreatic cysts are sac-like pockets of fluid on or within your pancreas. The pancreas is a large organ located behind the stomach. It produces hormones and enzymes that help digest food.
Most pancreatic cysts aren't cancerous, and many don't cause symptoms. In fact, many pancreatic cysts technically aren't cysts at all. Called pseudocysts, these noncancerous (benign) pockets of fluids are lined with scar or inflammatory tissue, not the type of cells found in true cysts.
But some pancreatic cysts can be cancerous. Your doctor may want to take a sample of the pancreatic cyst fluid to determine if cancer cells are present.
Sometimes, your doctor may not be able to tell whether a cyst may become cancerous. Your doctor may recommend monitoring the cyst over time for changes in size or shape that may suggest the need to remove it surgically. Some cysts have a low potential for becoming cancerous, and your doctor may recommend watching them carefully.

Whether you lay out each day's outfit garment by garment, or shove all the contents of your closet into a bag last minute (yep, with dresses still on hangers), packing is always a pain in the ass. And, while few do it as well as our own editor-in-chief Christene Barberich, we found three style A-listers who jetted into NYC for Fashion Week that have the traveling-to-the-tents thing on lock. You know we needed to get the scoop at what they packed, their super star outfits, and the essentials they can't leave home without. So, we crashed their hotel rooms for a hot minute — photog in tow — to get a very intimate peek into the beyond glam suitcases of two editors and one major fashion photographer. There are insane Lanvin boots, Céline everything, cult sunglasses, insider beauty brands... the list goes on and on, making this the chicest answer to the age-old question, "what's in the bag?"
Find out what fashion's finest pack to make them look picture-perfect in the Fashion Week tents.

Recipe by Donalyn
"Tahini-free hummus that only takes minutes, and is a favorite with my kids."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Watch video tips and tricks
1 (15 ounce) can
garbanzo beans, drained, liquid reserved
1 clove
garlic, crushed
2 teaspoons
ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon
1 tablespoon
olive oil
I made this the first time by the recipe exactly. I missed the sesame flavor without the sesame paste, but liked the reduced fat/calorie idea. The second time I made it, I decided to use sesame oil instead of olive oil. This way, the calorie/fat difference was negligible, but the sesame flavor was included--YUMMY!! I also doubled the garlic and halved the cumin, as others suggested. I used 1 T lemon juice and added bean juice, as needed, during the blending process. For those on WW, 1/4 of this recipe is 2 points...put it on cucumber spears or carrot chips and you can't go wrong! :)
I didn't think that this hummus was good at all. It was way too bland and the cumin made it taste like a bowl of blended up chili beans instead of hummus. It was definitely easy to make but it wasn't worth even that little bit of effort.

great recipe, if you are looking an alternative to hummus without tahini. i doubled the garlic, halfed the cumin, added a few shakes of ground red pepper, and some lemon juice. you really need to add a little lemon, otherwise the recipe just isn't has "bright". i really enjoyed this one!
This hummus was pretty good, but it was sort of bland. It was a lot better after adding paprika, a few drops of chili oil, and some sesame seeds.
OMG! Who would've thought a little can of garbanzo beans could transform into something so delicous! It doesn't get easier or much simpler than this! I put everything into a mini food processor, used sesame oil vs. olive oil and upped the garlic. I also added in the reserved bean liquid as needed along with a splash of lemon juice. I served it topped with a bit of paprika and surrounded by homemade pita chips - YUM!
"Impressive" my very picky husband concluded. He thought it was really good; I thought it was really good. The only thing this recipe was missing was lemon juice. After tasting it I knew it needed a little zip and some of the other recipes had called for it. Just what it needed. I just used the bottled stuff I had in the fridge and that worked wonders! Also, I didn't actually measure out the spices, so I can't verify that the portions given in this are correct. I'm pretty positive I didn't use the entire amount of cumin called for. I also used kosher salt. If you like garlic, I added an extra clove and I loved it. If your mix is gritty at all, don't fret. Just add a little more oil or lemon juice and blend more in the food processor. I think this would have not worked well in the blender. I served it with homemade naan bread and cucumbers. DELICIOUS!! (The first time I made I just ate it with some corn chips and it was great with that too.)
I made two variations on this recipe. I left out the cumin and added fresh ground pepper. To one batch I added sun-dried tomatoes and a little crushed red pepper to taste. That was REALLY yummy. To the other batch I added chili paste, minced ginger, soy sauce to taste. The chili paste gives it a real kick. I'm thinking kalamata olives and artichokes may work, too. Awesome recipe.
This recipe is yummy and easy to make. It is even better if you blend in the juice of half a lemon.

Dear "Go-to-Person",
You're likely the pioneer in your organization, the spark plug that initiates everything that needs initiating.
Tell me, does the description below sound accurate?
As much as you love and take pride in being the spark plug, as much as you pour your heart into it, you are more tired, frustrated, stressed than you ever bargained for. You're overworked, under-performing and stretched thin. And you're ready to make a change for the better because continuing like you always have is downright unacceptable. You don't want to "do it all" anymore. You need a better way.
You know you'll never be able to find the time, energy or the mental capacity to manage all of it and still be able to fulfill your organization's core purpose to the best of your ability - it's a commendable admission. But being the spark plug that you are, you know better than anybody:
You're likely here for one of three reasons:
More likely, you are here because of all 3 - Reason #4: All of the above. How can I be so sure?
I have first-hand experience volunteering for small associations, clubs and non-profits. I know many other passionate, dedicated people doing it - many are overworked and underpaid. Burned out. Forced to manage too many routine administrative tasks better suited for robots.
That was my inspiration for Wild Apricot - I wanted to design a software for normal people trying to do extraordinary things. People who wanted to focus on their passion but were too bogged down by the insanity of managing their organization.
Keeping track of people, finances, activities, responses, committees, projects, fundraising and a dizzying list of other responsibilities should NOT consume all your time, energy and enthusiasm.
Passionate people like you pour their blood, sweat and tears into doing these tasks everyday because they are convinced they are serving the higher purpose of their organization.
It is not uncommon to hear rationales like:
But that is not why you do what you do at all...
You invest all of your time and energy because you believe in your organization's purpose. The thing is: if you don't advance that purpose, if you keep spinning your wheels and just get by with what you've always done, then you're only scratching the surface of serving and fulfilling the underlying cause of your organization.
The first step I ask all of our clients to take is to make a commitment. Even if you do not choose Wild Apricot's solution in the end, make a commitment to yourself. Make a commitment to bettering your organization's life and seeing the process through till the end.
The last thing I want to see is for you to hit a wall in the final stretch and then go back to the life you and your organization are currently leading.
If you are committed to improving your organization's life, excellent!
Look, I get it - researching, selecting and transferring everything over to a new system seems more stressful, frustrating and time consuming than your current situation. But believe me, it's not.
Below, I'll go into all the great features you'll get access to during your Free 30-Day Trial.
NOTE: Your trial will be all-access with no restricted areas or features. Most of our members use the platform to organize an event or send out a monthly newsletter on their test drive.
Wild Apricot received the coveted #1 spot in Capterra's Top 20 Membership Management Software Infographic for the second year in a row. Capterra, an authority on business software noted, "for the purpose of this ranking, Capterra focused specifically on solutions that include membership management as their core function".
Walk us through the journey of how you evaluated your options and finally chose Wild Apricot.
I set the initial site up with using the WordPress and wasn't really happy with it not having membership functionality. It didn't do quite what I wanted it to do.
We had the WordPress site for about three months, but the whole time I was on the hunt for somethingthat would keep track of members, be able to do online signups, take credit cards online, have members only areas, have a forum for interaction and be easy for somebody besides me to take over in the future.
I wasn't quite sure what we were going to need. Because I was semi-familiar with WordPress, I put it up temporarily. But I knew we were going to need something else. I didn't know what that was yet. I was hopeful that WordPress might have the plug-ins that would add the functionality that I needed, but I discovered pretty quickly that it couldn't do everything that I wanted.
One of my problems with WordPress and Joomla is that you almost have to be a professional in order to keep them running.
What sort of research did you do?
I did a lot of online searches. I looked at paid and free solutions, primarily low cost. I found a couple of others that seemed horribly expensive before I found Wild Apricot.
I looked at the membership that we had at that point, which was 48 members. Anything that was going to quote cost more than a dollar per person was too expensive. Of course, cost was not the main factor.
Ease of use was/is a really high priority for me because I'm not goingto be the IT person, the president and the person in charge forever.
How did you know Wild Apricot was the right solution for you?
I knew what we needed in advance. I wanted an events calendar, be able to do online signups, track my membership and email blasts and newsletters, all from a single program. I didn't want to have one program for newsletters, another one online signups, another one for the blog and another one for an events calendar.
Having five different admins, five different passwords and five different everything was just not going to work.
After I started the online trial and found out how easy it was to get set up, running and ready to go, that's when I just flat told the board. "Okay, either we do it now, or the whole thing's just going to come apart."
Once I found Wild Apricot, I fell head-over-heels in love. Period.
How helpful is Wild Apricot's Support team?
How would you describe Wild Apricot to others?
Additional Comments?
Earlier, I asked you to commit to bettering your organizational life. I now have a second request:
Give us 30 days - that's all, just one month. Commit to the modest steps we'll ask and we promise your life will be transformed.
But please, for your sake not ours - don't just accept our 30-day offer. Embrace it.
Use the free trial period to organize an event, upload/manage your member database, send out newsletters, collect payments/contributions or create web pages. Harness the power at your fingertips.
Once you see the powerful difference that results from putting Wild Apricot to work – you and your organization will never, ever want to be without us again.
Thank you for trusting Wild Apricot to serve your organization. You are on your way to accelerating your organization's growth. Let the journey begin.
To your success,
Dmitry Buterin
Chief Apricot

Ali and Ricky are two-time adopters from the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan. After bringing home a snuggly pup named Ruby, they decided she needed a furry companion. That's when they met a cat named Hummus, and their family of three became four. Ali shared the following story with us:
We decided to adopt Ruby three years ago because we wanted a dog to complete our family. I was adamant about rescuing a pup in need, so my first choice was the ASPCA! We visited the Adoption Center and looked at all of the dogs There was something about Ruby that was special—and we kept coming back to her over and over again. Within five minutes of playing with her, I was sold. It was an instant connection.
We had to wait until the next day to come pick her up, and that was the longest night ever! We loved her already and couldn't wait to get her home. Since then, Ruby has done nothing but snuggle with us, love us, and pretend she's a two-pound lap dog. She is everything we ever wanted and more!
A few weeks ago we decided it would be awesome to have another little addition. We decided that she might like a buddy in the form of a cat, as she is very gentle with them. I went to the ASPCA once more because my experience with Ruby was so awesome. We soon found Hummus, and it didn't take long to realize this little guy was going to be a great fit in our home!
We were afraid that Ruby might be a little too hyper for Hummus as she can be a real lover at times, but it took only a day or two for her to adjust and begin to love him as one of her own. Sometimes we find them snuggling together, or find Ruby grooming Hummus like one of her pups! They love each other, and Ruby has definitely stepped up to the plate as an awesome big sister.
Ruby is a dream come true and Hummus is such a wonderful new addition to our family. He quickly found his way into our hearts. We are so thankful to the ASPCA for bringing these two amazing animals into our home and family. They see us through tears, joy, and everything in between! Words will never be able to say how much they give us.
Have you adopted a pet from the ASPCA? Email us your story at [email protected], and we might feature it on the blog!

Guest blog by Paris Permenter and John Bigley of DogTipper
Is Adopt a Senior Pet Month inspiring you to adopt a senior dog? If so—or if your dog is reaching senior status—you'll find that many dogs enjoy spending their retirement years just like we humans do: on the road!
We enjoy traveling with our rescue dogs, Irie and Tiki, now six years old, and intend to continue traveling with them as they mature. Healthy senior dogs can enjoy an active lifestyle that includes exploring new destinations.
Regardless of your dog's age, you'll want to do plenty of planning to keep your dog comfortable and safe. Preparations we always take include:
- Bringing the comforts of home. A cushioned dog bed is especially important for older dogs to keep pressure off of joints as they ride.
- Packing for success. Tummy troubles are no fun on the road. We help avoid stomach stress by packing our dogs' usual food and treats.
- Planning, not over-planning. We plan hotel stays and attraction stops, but we don't try to stick too closely to a timetable. It's important to leave plenty of time for frequent bathroom breaks, especially for seniors, and for walks to just sniff around and enjoy the new destination.
- Preparing for problems. We pack a list of veterinarians along our route and at our destination. We plan for more routine issues including potty accidents. Along with paper towels and waste bags, we carry a urine remover like Rug Doctor Urine Eliminator™. (Rug Doctor also supports the ASPCA!) Thanks to quick cleanups, we've never lost a pet deposit on a hotel stay.
Perhaps the best preparation we make is to slow down and anticipate the pleasures of traveling with our canines. After all, taking time to stop and sniff the roses is what travel's all about—regardless of our age.
Paris Permenter and John Bigley are the publishers of the award-winning DogTipper.com. The authors of 32 pet and travel books explored the Lone Star State with their dogs Irie and Tiki to fetch dog-friendly destinations for their latest book: DogTipper's Texas with Dogs.

Animal shelters provide an invaluable service for animals in need, providing them with food, shelter, medical care and love. Many shelters operate with limited resources, doing their best to care for a population of needy animals that almost seems endless.
National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week was created to honor the hardworking staff and volunteers who spend their lives helping homeless pets and inspire pet lovers to get involved with their local shelter or rescue. Need some ideas of how you can help? Here are a few of our favorites!
Volunteer your time. Socializing shelter pets helps them become better equipped to transition from shelter life to their new homes. Spend an afternoon playing with cats or walking dogs. Many shelters need more advanced helpers to work with canines in obedience classes as well.
Organize an event. Make your local shelter a cause for celebration! Throw a themed party, set up a bake sale, or parade your pet in a dog walk and donate the proceeds to your shelter. You'll raise awareness, meet new animal-loving friends and help homeless pets.
Go shopping or get crafty! Besides monetary donations, shelters are in constant need of basic supplies that can be found at your local grocery or discount store like food, cleaning supplies, toys and other pet care supplies. Call your shelter and ask what they need most and what brands they use before you take your shopping trip for the cause. You can also make some catnip toys to keep boredom at bay—they're easy to make and kid-friendly!
Ready to get involved? Locate your local shelter here! For more easy volunteer ideas visit our Ten Ways to Help Your Local Shelter.
Every day we post photos of cats and dogs on our blog who are looking for good homes. Like most of our readers, we wish we could bring every single one of these deserving pets home. (Sigh.) The great news is there is a much better alternative.
It's easy. By becoming a monthly supporter of the ASPCA and helping us find homes for every animal that passes through our door, you can make a real difference.
As an ASPCA supporter, you make a real impact by providing ongoing comfort to animals in need. Even if you can't adopt one more pet, help make sure that, in time, we will find a loving family for every single homeless animal.
Watch this heartwarming video of just a few of the quirky pets in our shelter who will find homes thanks to the support of members like you.
This holiday season, do the next best thing for homeless animals by making a gift to the ASPCA. And spread the word to your friends with the hashtag #AdoptThemAll.
If you're looking for a cat with a big personality, Teresa is the one for you! This playful feline is an ASPCA office foster cat, and she keeps the staff entertained every day with her many quirks. She loves attention and affection from her special people, and she's ready for anything that comes her way.
Teresa would thrive in a teens-and-up home without other cats. To ensure her optimal urinary health, she'll need her new family to provide her with prescription food. Our Adoptions team can talk you through Teresa's care routine. Adopt Teresa today!
Teresa is available for adoption at the ASPCA Adoption Center. If you are interested in adopting please call our Adoptions department in New York City at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4900. To learn more about Teresa, please visit her page.
Wish you could adopt them all? There are other ways to help. This holiday season, do the next best thing for homeless animals by making a gift to the ASPCA.

EDMOND — In May 2011, the Wister Wildcats baseball team won the Class 2A state title with a victory over the Dale Pirates. When the same two teams met Thursday afternoon at the Class A State Tournament quarterfinals at Edmond Santa Fe High School, luck wasn't with the team in purple.
The Pirates blanked the Wildcats 3-0 to end Wister's season at 20-9.

Originally produced by Coldcut on the Ninja Tune independent record label, the DJ Food project started in 1990 on the premise of providing metaphorical "food for DJs". DJ Food released the Jazz Brakes series, with Jazz Brakes Volume 3 being the most successful. The records consisted of collections of breaks, loops and samples, that could be used for mixing, remixing and producing. The later DJ Food albums have developed with shades of Latin, dub, techno, ambient, and Jungle. The 1995 album, A Recipe For Disaster was a conscious move away from the Jazz Brakes volumes to form more of an identity as an artist, and a remix album of tracks from all 6 LPs, entitled Refried Food was released the following year. Their last release, Kaleidoscope, featured guest artists including Bundy K. Brown (formerly of Tortoise, Directions in Music, Pullman) and voiceover artist and jazz poet, Ken Nordine.

First Impressions of Indonesia
Posted on : 29 November 2012
Categories : Culture and Heritage - Travelings
As traveling two weeks in Indonesia, I got to see the major attractions around the country. While I was visiting nine different islands, these were the first impressions I got.
Officially, there are 17,000 islands Indonesia. 8,844 of them have been named by the government of Indonesia, including major islands: Kalimantan (Borneo), Sumatra, Java and so on, and 922 of them are permanently inhabited. It's not hard to guess Indonesia is a big chunk of ocean, including a group of islands. Like some people say, you can spend rest of your life in Indonesia and still can't see everything.
"Belief in the one and only God."
The Indonesian Constitution guarantees freedom of religion. However, the government only recognizes six official religions (Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism) and Indonesian law requires that every Indonesian citizen hold an identity card that identifies that person with one of these six religions.
The most obvious place was Bali, well known as 'the land of the Gods', the home of Hindu minority in the country. 96% of Balinese believe in Hinduism. They have Hindu temples as many as the houses around the island. Balinese are the most religious in the country; they basically work to maintain the religious ceremony and the offerings. As Indonesian constitution said, "belief in the one and only God",believe what you believe.
Transportation system
Because of its geographic character, flying is taking a big part of the transportation system. Of course there's a ferry for moving from one island to another, but it's not an option for some people; either because of the motion sickness or the limited time. Because of that, the regional flight system is extremely well developed. It's easy, simple and ordinary.
As we were traveling to Borneo, Java and Bali, I needed to ask how to say 'thank you' each time. Sometimes it's 'Terima Kasih', 'Bartonuen ge' or something else. Bahasa Indonesia (literally means language of Indonesia) is the official language of the country, but regional language is spoken more often depending where you go, for example Javanese in Java, and Balinese in Bali. It was fun for me to catch up the different languages in each island. Only 'thank you' of course.
Religion is one of the most major factors to decide the lifestyle. Because of their several strong religions, Indonesia is highly multicultural. Food, clothing, architecture, custom and even the language; everything is rapidly changing as you move around the country. The kind of life style is different based on their belief, and also the outfit differs a lot. It was interesting to observe the differences. It makes the country more interesting for the travelers.

Ummmmm.....no one else thought it was worth picking him up either. Correct?
I listen to the podcast of that show a few times a week. I shut it off yesterday after about 10 or 15 minutes b/c Chad Johnson is an excuse making fool. The hosts were telling him all the things that the qbs and coaches found to be problems with his game, like not knowing the playbook and having his hand up on every play, and he didn't want to hear any of it. It isn't an accident that these aging diva receivers are having a difficult time finding work. Even if they still have some skills, it seems that teams don't want all the hassle that comes with having guys like Chad Johnson on the roster. I'm glad Philbin gave this clown the boot. While we're on the subject, I'm glad that fool Marshall who can't catch a ball when it counts got sent packing too.
The guy is a ****in clown.

How do you define success in animation?
Just wondering what some of you think about this subject.
What does success in animation mean to you?
Is it working in a studio cubicle all day? Is it job security? Not really caring what you do as long as you can provide for your family?
Is it in establishing yourself as an independent in some way and developing a supportive fan base?
It is in artistic accomplishment not necessarily associated with an employment situation?
Is it measured in personal popularity?
All of the above? None of the above? Some of the above?
I'm really interested in how you see what success in animation means, how you define it.
Please feel free to contribute your perspectives on the topic.
Daily Z
Re: How do you define success in animation?
I suppose the best way to define success in animation, is to first define success. I'm gonna go with the first definition for the word on dictionary dot com "1.
the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors; the accomplishment of one's goals."
So basically, success is achieved in accomplishing one's goals. As such, all answers are subjective, and nobody can possibly be wrong...
For me, I plan on forever growing, as I feel I have very much to learn. So I plan my life, around animation. To me, when I can create enough wealth to fairly fuel myself and a fair crew for the project, while leaving the client appreciative of their value, maintain integrity to myself, the client, and the audience, achieve all the time deadlines, AND maintain a satisfactory (to me) level of quality, I'll feel I hit my first plateau and feel my first plateau success in animation. At that point, I look forward to level two of my animation life plans.
Re: How do you define success in animation?
Success as an independent artist, to me is a different thing. That is the creator role. That involves a lot of responsibility. Basic daily journey goals would be: work on my vision consistently, share my work as fairly and honestly as I can, and honor my commitments to those who empower me in expressing myself. Doing those daily equals success.
After enough time has passed, and once my vision was solidified to my honest best abilities, and my base strong enough, I'd ask the base to support solidifying my vision to completion. If they were not strong enough, I'd spend more time on my vision, or start all over. If they were strong enough to fuel completion, I'd use that energy to fulfill my animation level one goals of creating a fair, honest, equal energy transaction for myself and all those involved in a professional and timely manner, to the best of my abilities honoring both the client AND the audience in doing so.
Re: How do you define success in animation?
I think one form of success is simply being able to point at something people will see, and say "I made that". And if it's your own IP, even better.
Being able to work on your own terms is another. I knew a guy who left his studio job several years ago, because he was earning more on the side (and having more fun) from drawing pinup commissions and selling sketchbooks. He's been working freelance and doing commissions ever since.
Earning a high salary is nice, but too many employers seem to think that the more they pay you*, the more they OWN you. Like once your paycheck is over a certain amount, they expect you to live at your desk, jump when told to, play fetch, and surrender all rights to every stray thought in your skull.
* or worse, regardless of what they're paying you.
Re: How do you define success in animation?
It all depends on the person and what situation they're in.
For me, I'm 30 with a family. Being able to provide for them and not have to live from check to check is the ultimate goal. I didn't grow up with a lot and was always taught to be happy with what I have. Any opportunity I can get, I will take and keep my mouth shut for a while. "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" right?
I think I would thrive in a studio position. Even if it meant being in a cubicle all day. Hell, I've already been sitting in a cubicle for the past 9 years so, what difference does it make right?
But then again, life is about balance. Eventually, I would want to establish an independent path if time would allow me to. I think we all need to at some point.
This is my opinion of course. There's no right or wrong. It all depends on the person.

Day 1 Longyearbyen (1D)
Longyearbyen is the largest settlement on archipelago of Svalbard with a population of about 2,060 people and about as many snowmobiles. Our passenger transfer to the ship is at 4:00 pm. But you will need to drop off your checked luggage by 12:00 pm at the JOINING HOTEL's luggage storage room. We depart Longyearbyen in the evening. Most of the inhabitants are Norwegians and some Russians. Located in the Advent Fjord at the entrance of the Advent Valley, this community has an infrastructure fit for a much larger city. Within the islands, there are 4 inhabited settlements and some scientific stations. Barentsburg, a Russian coal mining settlement, has approximately 850 inhabitants. Sveagruva, the functional Norwegian mine has around 100 inhabitants and Ny Ålesund, a scientific settlement has between 30 and 150 inhabitants, depending on the season. All settlements are found on the west coast, the part of Spitsbergen with the mildest climate due to the warm Gulf Current. Longyearbyen is located at 78°13′N 15°33′E. The Governor of Svalbard resides there. Due to its location far north of the polar circle, it is polar night from mid-October to mid-February and polar day from mid-April to mid-August. Longyearbyen has an arctic tundra climate. History and present day facilities: The settlement that was founded in 1906 by John Munroe Longyear, main owner of the Arctic Coal Company of Boston. "Byen" is Norwegian for "the city". It was destroyed by the Germans in 1943 and rebuilt after World War II, with the old foundations still visible in some places. Until the early 1990s the coal mining industry was the major employer in Longyearbyen. The daily life circled only around the mining business. Today, the community offers a wide range of activities and facilities. There is a bank, post office, hospital, public library, cafes/restaurants, tourist information, a swimming hall, a climbing wall, a big sports hall, a grocery store, three pubs, three hotels, one church, several tourists shops, there are various forms of lodging, from hostels to modern full-service hotels, a cinema (Sundays) and one night club. During summer, most of the people you meet here will be tourists or young people working to accommodate the visitors. A very friendly and international atmosphere reigns. And, of course, Longyearbyen has its own international airport.
Day 2-5 Spitsbergen (4B,4L,4D)
We will have 4 full days to explore a small portion of the western coast of Spitsbergen. Entering the fall the days are getting shorter so we will try to take advantage of all of the sunlight possible to search for wildlife. Svalbard is one of the few places on the planet that offers a wealth and diversity of natural and cultural history sites. Highlights include fjords with breathtaking mountain scenery and glaciers flowing into the sea around us. We will spend these two days in search of the elusive polar bears hunting seals. At one or more of our stops, we hope to see Svalbard's unique subspecies of reindeer. They are much smaller than their southern relatives, but still carry impressive antlers. We also have the possibility of Arctic foxes. This is also a land of history: from whaling to reaching for the pole, to trapping, coal mining and war. We will visit some of these historic sites. We may cruise in Zodiacs along the ice edge viewing seals or walrus, in fjords with glaciers spilling down to the sea. We will have opportunities to walk on shore, observe and photograph the Arctic flora and fauna. As we are in the land of the polar bear, your expedition staff will carry rifles and flare guns on shore for your protection. By not having a set itinerary, we take on an expedition spirit and are free to take advantage of the best that Svalbard has to offer.
Day 6-7 Greenland Sea (2B,2L,2D)
Frigid waters drain from the Arctic Ocean in a southwest current along the coast of Northeast Greenland. Often drifting pack ice is pushed along the coast. We will attempt to approach and follow the pack ice edge to explore the polar seascape. Occasionally this can be a good place to find wildlife. We will keep a look out for sea mammals like seals and whales and also sea birds such as kittiwakes and fulmars.
Day 8-12 Northeast Greenland National Park & Scoresby Sund (5B,5L,5D)
We hope to sail through and land in some of the most spectacular fjord country in the world along down the coast of Greenland, as we will explore rarely visited glaciers, bays and inlets. This is the largest National Park in the world, nearly impossible to reach except on Expedition ships, such as the MS Expedition. Spectacular geology combined with glacial features create steep mountains raising directly from the sea. Looking out for picturesque scenery, wildlife and other interesting landing sites in this unspoiled wilderness. Ice dependent we hope to spend these days exploring the massive fjord system of Northeast Greenland National Park, which includes portions of Scorsbysund. These intricate fjord systems are everything from wide and unimaginable to narrow and steeply spectacular with some of the best mountain scenery in the world. Walking over lush stands of colorful autumn tundra may lead to opportunties to see muskox grazing nearby. We plan a visit to the tiny settlement of Ittoqqortoormiit for a look at howthese most northerly people live.
Day 13-14 Denmark Strait (2B,2L,2D)
We continue our lecture series as we head back towards Iceland and to the steaming hot springs of Reykjavik.
Day 15 Reykjavík (1B)
Shortly after your breakfast, you will disembark in Reykjavik. Disembarkation is scheduled for 0800 at Midbakki Harbour, which is within walking distance to downtown Reykjavik. Do not book any flights before, 1200 noon, on disembarkation day. We will offer transfers to the airport to all passengers who have flights booked on the disembarkation day. Immediately upon disembarkation there will be offered a transfer to the airport, that includes a stop enroute at the Radisson Blu 1919 Hotel. Passengers planning on staying in Reykjavik post trip, may take this transfer, or hire a taxi at the pier for transfer to their accommodations. For those with flights later in the day, we will offer a luggage storage area at the pier, until 1400, (timings to be confirmed onboard), at which time a transfer will be provided to the airport for those passengers with early evening and evening flights. Passengers taking advantage of this opportunity, will be able to explore downtown Reykjavik in the morning, and early afternoon. All transfer arrangements will be confirmed while onboard prior to departure, to ensure that all needs are met.

Bowl Pendant Lighting
Serve up a big bowlful of light and modern style with bowl pendants.
Why We Love Bowl Pendants
Less formal than a chandelier, but grander than a standard pendant light, bowl pendants comprise the happy medium between the two. Its name refers to the shape of the shade, a design component deceptive in its simplicity. The open top allows for a broad bright wash of uplight while the bowl itself--usually made out of light-diffusing glass, crystal or natural stone--adds to the overall ambient glow. The design versatility of bowl pendant lighting continues through the frame, which often determines the overall style with clean, modern lines or classic, traditional flourishes.
Where Bowl Pendants Go Best
Considering their generally petite proportions, bowl light fixtures tend to do well in smaller spaces. For example, contemporary bowl light fixtures from Leucos or Marset make a sleek contemporary statement in modern kitchen lighting design, while transitional bowl pendants from Hubbardton Forge and Murray Feiss provide a warm welcome when used as foyer lighting or dining room lighting.
Other Great Options
You can bring the bowl into spaces with lower ceilings with bowl-shaped flush mount lighting. And for a similarly versatile shade shape, you'd do well to consider the selection of available drum chandeliers. If you are in need of a smaller hanging light for your space, be sure to see the available selection of mini pendant lighting.

In the race for the House of Representatives, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md., 5th) got 22,761 votes in St. Mary's (53 percent), while challenger Del.

In the 5th District, Hoyer declared victory and was outpacing O'Donnell with more than 68 percent of the vote as midnight approached.
For the U.S. Senate, St. Mary's County voters chose Republican Daniel John Bongino with 18,126 votes (43 percent) to incumbent Sen. Ben Cardin's 15,972 (38 percent). Rob Sobhani, running as an independent, got 7,736 votes. In Maryland, Cardin led Tuesday night by 53.8 percent to Bongino's 28 percent.

Vonn makes it 43 World Cup wins in Lake Louise
Lindsey Vonn is a mission and when she is in this frame of mind then there is no stopping her. Lake Lindsey, as Lake Louise has been known with Vonn having won there now nine times from 27 starts, is a special place in her heart. Vonn took the win by an incredible 1.95 seconds, the largest in her career to date. Tina Weirather took second coming from number 40 and Dominique Gisin was third.
While the American team celebrated the first double win since 2004, when both Vonn (then racing as Kildow) and Miller won, this was the second time this season that HEAD had won the corresponding male and female races.
For Vonn, ""Everything just came together and I'm hoping to keep it going this weekend. I'm happy to be back racing downhill," continuing "There was a pretty big head wind coming onto the Fall Away turn, but I knew that Heinz (Hemmerle) my technician had done some magic with my skis to help me on the flats and it all came together."
Vonn's win was all the more remarkable due to the wind that buffeted the racers: "I couldn't believe it. My goal was just to ski aggressively through the wind and tough light conditions. I could feel the wind heavily when I was skiing, so to win by almost two seconds is just amazing."
With the support of her sister at the race, Vonn can now also rely on the support of Maria Hoefl-Riesch. Vonn explained how she feels when she is on her skis: ""Skiing is the best thing for me. When I'm on my skis, on the mountain and going fast I feel really comfortable."
With this performance the pressure is now on the rest of the field to try and see just where Vonn won the race: third placed Dominique Gisin commented "congratulations to Lindsey, she is just impressive. I even think she did the Fallaway in a tuck, I just wonder how did she do it? But we will analyze it and try to be faster."
With another Downhill and Super G scheduled for the weekend, one thing is certain and that is that Lindsey Vonn is back in Lake Louise and looking in great form!

1 (12 ounce) package
1/4 cup
bacon drippings
1 small head
cabbage, cored and finely chopped
ground black pepper to taste
I live in the South and this recipe is a staple in all households. There is nothing better if you like cabbage. Thanks for sharing.
decent side for pork
46 Ratings
This is soooo good! I add about a tsp of brown sugar to help caramelize the cabbage but still retain it's crisp/tender qualities. Brussel sprouts are TDF prepared like this. I half them, steam them for a short time then throw them in the skillet. My future daughter in law says, "I now like brussel sprouts!"
I love this recipe but I put onion and green peppers in the bacon drippings until they soften and then add the cabbage.
I've been making this for years..I shred the cabbage instead of chopping it cooks more evenly.
BIG TIP: you can also use pre-shredded cabbage from the grocery store, which makes it fast and easy.
I add whatever I have avail. onion red or yellow, celery chopped finely.
I also have prefried bacon in my freezer which is very convenient. And I keep the bacon grease in the refrigerator for seasoning other dishes.
My husband loves this dish. And even if you don't like cabbage, you may want to try this, it just might change your mind on cabbage.
My grandmother used to make this for our Sunday dinners, so when I used this recipe, it sure brought back some pleasant memories! Thanks!
We make this adding onions and noodles boiled in chicken broth, Very good!!!!
My mom was from the south, we also ate this all the time. She later added tomatoes and we ate this over rice. Brings back plenty of memories.

Lotus have confirmed that Heikki Kovalainen will replace Kimi Raikkonen at the Enstone team for the final two races of the Formula One season...
Lotus confirmed on Thursday that Heikki Kovalainen will replace Kimi Raikkonen at the Enstone team for the final two races of the Formula One season.
Raikkonen announced on Sunday that he will miss this week's race in Austin and the season finale in Brazil in order to undergo back surgery, ahead of his move to Ferrari.
"Jumping into a car so late in the year when you have not been competing in the races all season will be a challenge, but I know the team at Enstone well so I have no concerns about getting up to speed," said former Renault driver Kovalainen.
The deal for Kovalainen comes after efforts to sign either Sauber driver Nico Hulkenberg or Michael Schumacher came to naught.
"There have been quite a few requests in the past. Michael would still be fit enough, but he has a new life. I don't find it unusual that people ask," Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm told German newspaper Bild.
"Many people changed their assessment about Michael because of Nico Rosberg's recent performances compared to those of Lewis Hamilton.
"Michael drove as well as Nico, just as Nico is driving as well as Lewis."
