International Student Travel
International travel can be an exciting and rewarding activity to augment your Ringling College experience; it also carries with it a set of risks and responsibilities that varies greatly from country to country. For your safety during your voluntary travel abroad, the Ringling College Office of Student Life highly recommends that you observe the list below of pre-travel arrangements:
Ringling College Website
- Visit the Student Health Center for immunizations and prescriptions several months prior to your departure. Most Immunizations can be provided on campus with enough notice but are not routinely carried. Some require muliple shots over as much as a 6 month period so make sure to review the CDC guidelines so as to plan ahead.
- Confirm health insurance coverage for international sites and make sure you know inadvance what you should do if you experience a medicial emergency abroad. If you have Ringing College Insurance, make sure to look at the read the section entitled Allianz Global Assistance/Emergency Travel Assistance Services. Additionally, verify coverage by calling our insurance agent at GM Southwest, Ms. Angie Black at 1-888-776-9920 or emailing email@example.com. If you have other questions regarding coverage or claims you can also email firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Confirm travel itinerary and accommodations with sponsoring organization.
- Complete Student Travel Waiver form with emergency contact information.
- Attend pre-travel session, if available.
- Make copies of all documentation and provide to sponoring office and Office of Student Life. Documents to be copied include: Passport, Travel Waiver, Health Insurance Information, Flight Itinerary, Accomodations.
Center for Disease Control Website
- Research your destination country/countries on the Center for Disease Control website. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) provides helpful tips for travelers on items to pack and on food and water issues. Visit the website below for general information: http://www.cdc.gov/travel.

Also research your destination country/countries on the U.S. State Department website at: http://www.state.gov/countries.
- Check and verify visa requirements for each of your destination countries. In some countries, visa procurement can take several weeks prior to your trip, so plan ahead. For information on visa requirements, visit the host country's Office of the Consulate General website. U.S. Citizens can refer to the U.S. Department of State's general visa information service.
- International Students: You must verify that your travel meets the conditions of your student visa by consulting with your International Student Advisor in the Office of International Student Affairs, Keating Center. For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com
- Verify your College Registration: for all students traveling during the academic year (August to April), make sure to verify your registration as a full-time student before your departure. For those travelling during summer, make sure to verify your full-time registration during the spring semester immediately preceding your travel. Your registration status may affect your eligibility for certain benefits and coverage. Do not assume you are registered. If you have questions, please contact the Office of Student Life.

5 quick tips to stocking a healthy kitchen:
Healthy eating begins in the kitchen, whether it's in a home, restaurant, dining hall, or other venue. To get the most out of the recipes you prepare, keep your kitchen stocked with ingredients from the Healthy Eating Pyramid.
1. Produce. Choose locally grown vegetables and fruits whenever you can. Keep on hand garlic, onions, dark salad greens like spinach and romaine, carrots, and apples. When you shop, select produce that looks good, or what's on sale. Read about vegetables, fruits and health or try these delicious vegetable recipes.
2. Grains. Trade in white rice for the bounty of great whole grains: barley, cracked wheat (bulgur), oat berries, quinoa, brown rice, and a host of others. Try whole wheat pasta or one of the whole wheat blends now on the market. Read about whole grains and health or try these whole grain recipes.
3. Protein. Rely on healthy protein packages such as fresh fish, chicken or turkey, tofu, eggs, and a variety of beans and nuts. And move away from the traditional mealtime paradigm of a large portion of meat at the center of your plate. Instead, build a healthy plate with equal servings of protein, whole grains, and vegetables. Try these healthy recipes for nuts and tofu, fish and chicken.
4. Fats and oils. Use liquid vegetable oils whenever possible for sautéing vegetables, stir-frying fish or chicken, and as the base of salad dressings. Good choices include canola, sunflower, corn, soybean, peanut, and olive oil. A dash of a specialty oil, like extra-virgin olive oil, walnut or pistachio oil, sesame oil, or truffle oil, can make steamed vegetables come alive. Mashed avocado, rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, makes a fabulous topping for sandwiches. Read more about fats and health, or try these recipes that use healthy fats.
5. Other essentials. Learn what chefs have known for a long time: A small amount of a high-quality ingredient goes a long way toward boosting flavor. Stock your kitchen with good-quality tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, fresh and dried herbs, dried cherries or cranberries, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and a variety of unsalted nuts (such as walnuts, almonds, and pistachios).
Healthy eating can be as delicious as it is nutritious—a feast for the senses as well as good for the body.
Health food, often lampooned as bland and tasteless, is anything but that. True health food, from crisp sugar peas to Spicy Chicken Kebabs with Moorish Flavors, pleases the palate and delivers the nutrients you need. The recipes collected here offer a variety of ways to put the ingredients embodied in the Healthy Eating Pyramid to work in your kitchen, whether you are cooking for yourself, your family, or a roomful of paying customers.
Some of the recipes were contributed by well-known cooks and chefs like Mollie Katzen and Ming Tsai. Some come from the kitchens of Legal Sea Foods, a restaurant committed to great taste and good nutrition, which it demonstrated by being one of the first restaurants in the country to ban trans fats from its larder. Some are from the renowned Culinary Institute of America. Others are from the "Heart of the Plate, Heart of the Pyramid" collaboration between Mollie Katzen and Harvard University Dining Services chefs Martin Breslin and Patty Gregory. These contributors whip up delicious dishes from healthful ingredients—good protein packages, whole grains, vegetable oils, and vegetables.
Read recipes for home cooks: vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, nuts and tofu, fish, chicken, beverages.
Read quantity recipes for food service.

The name Zayna is of Arabic origin.

On the other hand, they may feel more special if their name is less popular and more uniquely their own. As you see it can go both ways, so just keep this point in mind as you examine the different possibilities.

Reporter: Claire Doan
Web producer: Forrest Carr
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (KGUN9-TV) – If you attend college or work at one, it's a cinch that there's at least one teacher you don't like. Maybe she gave you a bad grade. Or maybe she's a colleague or a subordinate who stepped on your toes.
How would you like to get even?
Good news. It can be done, thanks to Arizona law and the hiring practices at some colleges. In fact, at one college in particular, getting a teacher canned is not that difficult.
Institutions of higher education are supposed to promote openness, free inquiry and the quest for truth. But according to 48-year-old ceramics instructor Clara Lanyi, that doesn't apply to Cochise College.
"When you have a situation where someone is being let go from their job and no one really knows why, it creates an atmosphere of fear and no one wants to stick their neck out in that kind of environment," Lanyi told KGUN9 News.
Lanyi's abrupt dismissal was a shock not just to her, but also to her students.
"I'm really stupefied by what's going on with her. I believe Clara's exactly the kind of teacher we would want in our community," said Jennifer Vasconcellos, one of Lanyi's former students.
"I was shocked. This is one of the best classes I've ever had. She's one of the best teachers I've ever had. I don't know why they would even consider firing someone like her," said Rachel Slawson, another student of Lanyi's.
What got this popular instructor sacked? Lanyi provided a stack of documents to 9 On Your Side, which include two student complaints that accuse her of being a poor teacher, along with three dozen student evaluations that praise her.
There is also a student petition that appears to be slamming Lanyi, but that appearance may be deceiving. Cochise College provided a summary of Provost Verlyn Fick's later investigation of the petition. According to his February 15 memo, out of seven signatures Fick found that one was illegible; four belonged to students who never took Lanyi's class; and two belonged to students who said they thought the petition was for something else.
KGUN9 News tracked down Leo Cox, one of the students. He confirmed that the petition he was asked to sign was not, at the time he signed it, directed at Lanyi. "It was just an informal piece of paper that people were signing to get clay and extra stuff in the classroom," Cox said.
So -- two complaints and what may be a fraudulent petition. Is that all it took to get Lanyi fired?
KGUN9 News dug deeper, and found an email that Lanyi wrote the Liberal Arts administrative assistant about getting some classroom materials.
That email drew a rebuke from Dean Chuck Hoyack: "Actually the job of administering to the art department falls to the dean of liberal arts … me … I don't mean to be rude, but your initial communication should perhaps have been directed toward me."
Lanyi apologized profusely for that misstep, twice, and in writing both times. But then in October, Lanyi ruffled more feathers. In an email to administrator Chris Overlock that Lanyi also copied to Hoyack and others, Lanyi describes a surprise budget cut as "pretty much a disaster for my program."
Lanyi said she did not get a reply.
On January 11, Hoyack sent a letter to Provost Fick, recommending non-renewal for Lanyi. Fick agreed. About a week later, Hoyack delivered the bad news to Lanyi in person.
"I was completely blindsided. I had no idea that anything like that was coming. I never had a negative performance evaluation. And then he told me there were several students who complained and I had more bad in my file than good," Lanyi recalled.
More bad than good? Emails sent a few days later tell a different story. Lanyi gave KGUN9 News a copy of an exchange between Hoyack and Fine Arts Chair Tanya Biami.
Biami wrote: "Hi Chuck. Just curious. Do you have access to Clara's evals?"
Hoyack responded: "Yes I do but they are not terribly damning."
He went on to note that Lanyi was beginning to squawk about her non-renewal and said, "I need to put together as much documentation as possible."
However, if Hoyack did put together any such documentation, it's not in the 63-page human resources file that the college provided to KGUN9 News in response to a public records request. The file contains no evaluations, no records of classroom observations, no disciplinary action, and no hint of any kind that Lanyi was not doing her job.
When word got out that Lanyi was about to be canned, more than two dozen students wrote letters of protest. Then on March 13, the night of the board meeting, a dozen spoke in her defense. According to Lanyi and other sources, those speeches elicited no response from the board whatsoever. The board voted unanimously to fire her.
Under Arizona law, because Lanyi was still in a two-year probationary period, the board did not have to give an explanation, and it didn't.
"I feel a little scared to teach after this experience. I will have a black mark on my record and frankly I'm a little old to go on the job market," Lanyi said.
She now wonders how a college that should promote free thinking and free speech can be silent on firing her.
At Fick's request, Dean of Students James "Bo" Hall took a second look at the questionable petition in February. According to his redacted report, the student behind it claimed she didn't know some of those signing were not Lanyi's students, denied the petition was misleading and claimed it wasn't the only petition in circulation at the time.
In his summary Hall noted that he did not speak with the other petition signers because Fick had already done so. If he took any other steps to check out the claims of the student who circulated the petition, his report doesn't say so. But he concluded that he found no evidence of wrongdoing.
As for Hoyack, his January 11 recommendation of non-renewal cited student complaints, informal complaints from colleagues and classroom observations by Hoyack and Biami. The files KGUN9 News obtained contained no complaints from colleagues, two from students, overwhelmingly positive student evaluations, and no classroom reports from Biami or Hoyack.
Lanyi insists Hoyack never set foot in her class.
She is now serving out the remainder of her contract. Her last day at work will be in early May.

By JOHN CAVANAGH Otherwords
Could anything positive come out of the knock-down, drag-out fight over the deficit? The CEO leaders of a multi-million-dollar PR campaign think so - and the analysts at my progressive think tank agree - although for the opposite reasons.
The "Fix the Debt" campaign, led by more than 90 corporate CEOs, tells us that we should "use the fiscal cliff as an opportunity." What do they mean by "opportunity"? For them, the goal is to have "considerably less" spending on Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid and a shift to a "territorial" tax system, which would permanently exempt their foreign earnings from U.S. income taxes.
For these business leaders, the so-called "fiscal cliff" is a chance to get more tax breaks for multinational corporations while cutting benefits for the poor and elderly. Of course they have crafted an argument about why this would be good for America. But a close look at the messengers raises more than a little doubt.
Many of the corporations behind "Fix the Debt" have contributed to the national debt by using every tax-dodging trick in the book. According to Citizens for Tax Justice, five of the firms - Boeing, Corning, General Electric, Honeywell International, and Verizon - paid no federal income taxes whatsoever during the three-year period from 2008 to 2010. The territorial tax reform Fix the Debt is seeking would further reduce their obligations to Uncle Sam. Based on their current offshore earnings stashes, we calculated that Fix the Debt corporations stand to gain as much as $134 billion if this goes through.
The Fix the Debt campaign says so-called "entitlement reform" (i.e., cuts to Social Security and the other earned-benefit programs) must be on the table. Several of their CEO leaders, including Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs and Mark Bertolini of Aetna, have specifically called for an increase in the retirement age. Easy for them to say. As a group, these CEOs are sitting on average personal retirement funds of $9 million each.
We agree that the fiscal fight offers an opportunity. But while the Fix the Debt campaign's agenda would widen our country's economic divide, we see an opportunity to bring us all closer together.
This is a chance for the American public to engage in a critical debate over national priorities. Because the problem is not that we're broke and have no choice but to slash spending for ordinary Americans. We're not broke. We're the richest country in the world. The problem is that our abundant resources have been misallocated.
Too much of our money has propped up obsolete overseas military bases, ladled pork into Pentagon contracts, subsidized pollution, and padded the pockets of wealthy individuals and corporations. This misallocation is contributing to our nation's skyrocketing inequality and locks us into a fossil-fueled economy that's destroying the environment and increasing the possibility of future superstorms on Sandy's scale.
I'm part of a team at the Institute for Policy Studies that has identified 20 common-sense proposals to cut wasteful spending and increase fair taxes. These include proposals backed by generals and other military experts to cut over $100 billion in Pentagon waste and unnecessary weapons systems. And about another $100 billion that we could raise from taxing carbon. And $150 billion that we could amass with a financial transactions tax that would slow Wall Street speculation.
This plan would largely erase the fiscal deficit, while generating new revenue to invest in key employment-rich sectors for our future - including care jobs, green jobs, and infrastructure jobs. There are, for example, two million jobs that can be created just by shifting our waste system from polluting incinerators and landfills to recycling and composting. And another two million dignified jobs caring for our rapidly growing elderly population are long overdue.
There's an opportunity in the deficit debate. It's an opportunity to come together as a nation in ways that will make our society more equitable, green, and secure.
John Cavanagh is the director of the Institute for Policy Studies, a progressive think tank, and a contributor to its new report, We're Not Broke.

We spent a day @ your club while our ship was in port. What a wise choice ! The snorkeling was fantastic and your club was staffed by the warmest, kindest people that we met in Cozumel. Mauricio, Dn. Juan and your other staff made us feel comfortable and welcome . The food was delicious, the drinks great and the prices very reasonable. They almost sold us another stay right then and there. We will be back and have already posted our review on the web. Muchos Gracias !
V. Perry ~ Danbury, CT USA

I hope to make it back someday and we will pass on all you info to others headed your way. Thanks again!! P.S. - Send me some links on where I can leave some reviews for your place!! Thanks
B. Herlehy ~ Moneta, VA USA
WOW!!!! So glad to have stumbled upon Cozumel Insider and found Sherri and PalMar Small Beach Club. Personable, responsive, tailored, every whim satisfied- from drinks to beach chairs, to the best guacamole ever made, to wonderful conversation with Sherri and staff. This service is simply not found at larger tourist beaches and clubs. We are now loyal guests and will return and return and return. Sherri's story is most intriguing and it was entertaining and awe-inspiring to hear her tell it. Our only regret is that our RC cruise ship was departing and we had to head back to port much sooner than we wanted to. Martin- you are AWESOME! thanks for the photos you emailed and all the coordination leading up to our very short visit. We know you didn't have to do that- but it matters and have made us fans for life. Love you guys!
John and Sarah ~ Pennsylvania, USA
Sherri and Mauricio thanks for a great day at Palmar Beach Club. We loved the SMALL size of your Beach Club and you made us feel special. The Snorkeling was wonderful. The Snacks were perfect. We loved your swimming pool and the ability to change our clothes after swimming in the clean bathrooms. We will return!
Andy & Patti ~ USA

Copts (Christians of Egypt) are not asking for special treatment to compensate for centuries of discrimination and persecution. They are only asking for equality. They don't want anything more, and they will not settle for anything less. It is hard to believe that , at the turn of the 21st century,equality to Copts remains a luxury they still dream of. This at a time when the rest of the civilized world considers equality a birth right to be taken for granted.
1- Copts want the antiquated 19th Century Hamayouni decree be abolished. It is inconceivable to require that the president of Egypt must approve permits to build a church or even to repair a toilet in a church. Mosques in Egypt are being built with no restrictions.
2- Copts want equal air time on the government controlled TV and Radio stations to broadcast there belief to their people. The 15 million Copts living in Egypt pay for the TV and Radio from their tax money and they should have time allocated for broadcasting.
3- Copts want to have the church's trust lands returned. The income generated by these lands was used to provide for needy Copts. The lands were seized by the Ministry of Islamic affairs, even though the courts had ordered that the lands must be returned to their legitimate owners; the Copts.
4-Copts want an end to forced conversion of Christian girls, who are kidnapped and raped by Muslim extremists. There are reports of police
protection given to the abductors.
5- Copts want all Egyptian citizens to have the freedom of belief, including the freedom to change one's religion. Christians are welcomed to convert to Islam, so Muslims should be free to convert to Christianity, if they so chose. Those converts are usually subjected to imprisonment and torture.
6- Copts want religious affiliation be removed from national ID cards, job applications,.etc…so Christians could not be identified and discriminated
7- Copts want educational curriculums to be revised to guarantee that they do not contain any denigrating references to Christians and Christianity, but to encourage students to accept and respect each other. Mandatory courses in human rights in all public schools is strongly recommended.
8- Copts want the Government controlled media to refrain from conducting a campaign of hate against Christians, labeling them as infidels, thus creating a climate of intolerance, in which attacks against the Copts can be easily propagated. The media should also allow Coptic programs to be aired.
9- Copts want an end to discrimination in job appointments and promotions. Very few Christians are appointed to key jobs such as ministers, or other government officials. At the present time there are no Christian governors, mayors, chief of police, president of City council or college deans in Egypt.
10-Copts want an end to discrimination in government controlled school admission against Christian students. Very few Christians are admitted to the police academy, military schools. Very few Christians are appointed to teaching assistance positions in all medical collages, pharmaceutical collages, engineering collages and all top education collages.
11-Copts want the Egyptian government to be serious about apprehending those who murder Copts, and to punish them to the fullest extent of the law, and to adequately compensate the victims of these crimes. No killers of Copts have been sentenced to the same punishment as that of a killer of Muslims. Even the terrorist Haridi, who murdered thirteen Christians including small children, in Sanabu in 1992, did not get the usual punishment for murder for his horrifying crimes.
12-Copts want immediate orders be issued to rebuild Kafr Demian village, which was burned down by Muslim extremists in 1996, this must be done at the expense of the State.
13-Copts want certain mechanism to be established to create an adequate representation for them in the Egyptian parliament. One suggestion is to have certain areas be closed to Coptic candidates only. Political exclusion of Copts must stop. The governing national party failed to include any Copts in their list of candidates to the parliament.
14-Copts want the center for handicapped children, which was destroyed by the army in December 1996, be rebuilt at the expense of the government, and as soon as possible.
15-Copts want to be treated with honor and dignity inside Police Departments and in the Sermons of Muslim Sheiks in Mosques…etc. There is no
justification for humiliating somebody just because he is different in religion.
16-Copts want to see an end to the religious discrimination that prevails at all levels of the Egyptian educational system, especially in hiring of
teachers and professors, and unfair grading practices aimed at Christian students.
17-Copts want their history, language, and culture be taught in schools and colleges in Egypt where their sons and daughters attend.
18-Copts want to feel that Mr. Mubarak is a president for both Muslims and Copts. They want him to care for them and address their concerns. They want him to meet with their religious leadership, and perhaps pay visits to their churches, something other presidents used to do, but he has never done. This , no doubt, will break down walls of mistrust, and build bridges of tolerance and harmony between Muslims and Christians.
19-Copts want to be allowed to enroll in all schools, which are publicly funded, such as Al-Azhar University, police and military academies, without
any restrictions. At present time there is a 5% maximum place on Coptic enrollment to police and military academies, and this percentage is not even met by actual enrollment.
These are just a few examples of the discriminatory practices imposed on Copts. They represent a starting point, and taking care of them will show good faith. The most important thing is that there must be a will to correct the wrongs being done to the Copts. When the will is there, everything else will fall in place. Then, Muslims and Christians will live together, in harmony, as brothers and sisters on the land of our beloved Egypt. This is our hope, and this is our prayer.

2- Update
Maud | 22 August 2011
Is it normal that this article is dated back from june 2011 and mentions Mubarak as Egypt\\\\\\\'s president ? You may wanna update that :)
1- Maybe!
The point you made about equality in \\\"civilized\\\" countries is one I take issue with. In so-called civilized countries, your color and race factor in your rights as a citizen. In these countries, sometimes your name and the religion it denotes can determine what opportunities you have in life. Please do not romanticize the experience in the West or what is so-called the civilized and developed world. There is as much discrimination, racism, and prejudice as we have in Arab countries, and more. Not to excuse either, because two wrongs don\\\'t make a right...

We have recently discovered a problem with early production samples of the EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens in which flare occurs at an unacceptable level under certain conditions. The flare is most obvious in the wide zoom and wide aperture settings. (See attached picture.))
The problem affects all EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lenses with a control number less than UT1000. With apologies for the inconvenience involved, we ask customers to check the control number on the back of the lens.
Affected model and control numbers:
The control number is indicated on the back cover of the lens with UTxxxx symbol (see the number in the red ellipse on the right), and if it contains the letters UT followed by a number under 1,000, the product is affected. Should you have any difficulty identifying the control number, please contact our service centers.
Repair services:
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue, and appreciate your understanding in this matter. Thank you for your support and patronage of Canon products.

"Good grief," Uncle Spud sputtered as he peeked over the top of his newspaper. "Leona Helmsley left 12-million dollars to her dog."
"Are you talking about the recently deceased hotel tycoon known as the queen of mean?" I asked.
"That's her," he said. "She left two of her grandchildren out in the cold and gave $12 million to the dog. What a babe."
"Lucky dog," I smiled. "This puts a whole new meaning to the term, rich bitch."
"No kidding," he grinned.
"So why did they call her the queen of mean?" I asked.
"Because she was famous for treating the 'little people' who worked for her with contempt," he said. "It is typical that she left money for the dog and not for those who served her."
"But what would her dog do with $12 million?" I wondered.
"I can only guess," he said. "Dogs live entirely different lives than people."
"For instance?"
"For one thing, everyday is Saturday to a dog," he said. "Dogs don't care what day it is. Their whole life is one long vacation. They don't go to work, they don't go to school, they don't cut the grass, and they don't pick-up after themselves. They just hang-out day after day and get plenty of rest."
"In my next life, I want to be the dog," I smiled.
"According to your wife, you almost made it this time," he giggled.
"Don't pay any attention to her," I growled. "I'm the big dog around our house."
"Yea, I noticed that she's got you trained to fetch and heel," he laughed.
"But some dogs are working dogs," I insisted, expertly changing the subject. "There are watchdogs, birddogs, sheepdogs, seeing-eye dogs, and even junkyard dogs."
"Working dogs don't know they are working," Spud said. "To them, work is a game. That's why they reward bomb-sniffing dogs by tossing a tennis ball for them to chase. You can't make a dog do real work like hauling hay or stacking bricks."
"So where do we get the expressions, 'working like a dog' and dog tired?" I asked.
"Dogs are always sleeping in the shade like they're exhausted," he said. "It's another game they play. Dogs are smarter than people."
"So you don't think Leona Helmsley's dog would need $12-million for a retirement fund?"
"Not even," Spud agreed. "Most dogs are pretty well retired already."
"So what else could a rich dog spend his money on?" I asked.
"Well, dogs don't normally own anything, other than a dog dish and a squeaky toy, or a ball or two. An old Chevy hubcap and a fifty-cent tennis ball pretty well satisfy a dog's worldly ambitions. Most dogs are not very materialistic."
"What about food?" I offered.
"Twelve million will buy a whole lot of dog chow," the Spudster mused. "Even if the pampered pooch ate nothing but fillet mignon and lived to be 300 years old, $12 million would gain interest faster than the dog could eat it up."
"Shelter?" I asked.
"A lap dog like Helmsley's could get by easy with a couple of square feet." Spud said. "I think a $38 pet-porter would do the first-class Fido just fine. My rough and tumble cow-dogs sleep under the porch."
"A dog doesn't need a Carnival Cruise," he said. "Throw him a bone or a ball once in awhile, or buy him a smart-alecky cat to fight with, and he's happy."
"Medical care?
"How much could you spend on a dog that's smaller than a rabbit? Even if the little flea bag got run over by a caviar delivery truck, a good veterinarian or taxidermist could rebuild the mutilated mutt using secondhand parts for less than $200."
"So," I said. "If the dog doesn't need a truckload of money to live happily ever after, why did Helmsley leave the little fur ball $12 million smackeroos?"
"She was making a point," Spud said. "The queen of mean gave more money to the dog than to any of her relatives. How do you suppose that made them feel? She also thumbed her nose at the rest of us by showing the world that she could do any doggone thing she wanted to do with all of that money; no matter how spiteful; no matter how self-indulgent."
"Do dogs go to heaven?" I asked.
"Good dogs go to heaven," Uncle Spud said. "I don't think miserable old dogs who bite make the cut."

Shawl Collar Skirt Suit
Purchased in both colors. Fabric is sub-standard, very cheap, scratchy, no liner, not worth the bucks. Would not recommend.
Rikki Tavi

Runs Small
Purchased the yellow in a 12T. The size chart measurements for size 12 state 32 inch waist, but the waist on the garment itself is only 29 inches. Way too small. I'm new to metrostyle, but was really expecting the size to match the measurements. The color was very nice, but the material is very thin, no lining at all on the jacket or the skirt. Even though the price as good, it's going back!
