Pups as a Work Perk
For dog lovers, being able to bring our pups to work is a huge perk. Most companies don't allow pets in the office, but that is slowly changing. According to the Society of Human Resource Management, seven percent of employers now allow pets to come to work—up from five percent five years ago.
Many companies see this as a way to help with retention and work-life balance at no extra cost. It's often people's favorite perk.
At North Carolina based Replacements Ltd, there are about 30 animals that join their 400 workers on a regular basis. Their policy is probably one of the most liberal—the office has even been visited by a duck, potbellied pig, and possum. Public Relations manager, Lisa Conklin, even hopes to bring in her horse, Azim, one day.
The pets have always been on their best behavior. Although on a number of occasions the human employees have broken the fine dining dishes that Replacements sells, no one can remember an animal ever being responsible for an incident before.
Bringing our pets to work is a fun perk, but it has tangible benefits as well.
In 2012, Virginia Commonwealth University professor Randolph Barker led research that measured levels of cortisol in workers' systems. His team found that people whose animals came to work saw a decrease in stress throughout the day, while those who didn't have a pet saw their cortisol increase. Randolph says that pet friendly companies typically report more coworker cooperation and interaction as well.
But there are some challenges with having a liberal pet policy. Not all animals like being in an office environment and it's up to the individual employee to make the best decision for their pet. There are also other considerations for organizations, such as allergies and finding a building that is pet friendly.
However, provided that a company can make it work logistically, the benefits seem immeasurable!

Canines take their share of the spotlight
Watching the US Olympic Trials in track and field is filling much of my recreational time this week, but my thoughts are never far from the world of dogs. More and more often, announcers comment on competitors' dogs, as do the athletes themselves. When discussing that Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix has had a rough year, the broadcast team spoke of two issues. One problem was an injured ankle that leads to pain with every step and the other was the death of her beloved Yorkshire Terrier, Chloe. Chloe is well known to fans of Felix, who often tweeted about Chloe. Felix has said that Skyping with Chloe when she traveled to races helped her to settle her mind and to feel in touch with home. The two even appeared in a commercial together.
The importance of dogs also came up in an interview with Brenda Martinez. Martinez was expected to qualify for the Olympics in the 800 m event, but that dream slipped away when she was tripped up by another runner near the end of the race. When asked how she put that disappointment behind her in order to focus on her upcoming 1500 m race, she emphasized the role her dogs played. She said that she and her husband had brought all four of their dogs with them and that being with them made her happy and helped her move on emotionally. She visibly relaxed when she spoke of her dogs despite the high pressure situation she is in.
Few of us face pressure as intense as what these athletes are dealing with this week, but many of us still rely on our dogs for relief from the stresses of life. Do you?

Friends Across Species
Dogs and people are truly the best of friends, but that doesn't mean that dogs can't be buddies with other animals, too. Though dogs and cats are often considered natural enemies, countless households have a dog and a cat who very close. They play together, sleep together and generally prefer to be near one another.
Less common, but still far from rare, are the dogs who have strong social connections to other species. I have one client whose dog loves to head upstairs in their apartment complex to hang out with the neighbor's rabbit. A friend of mine has a ferret who plays daily with her dog until they are both exhausted.
Dogs and pot-bellied pigs can be great chums, and countless canines love spending time with their horse pals. There are plenty of dogs whose friends include sheep and goats.
I know of a couple of parrots and parakeets who socialize with dogs, and one pair of these vocalize together with great regularity. I'm not going to lie—the howling dog and the screaming bird don't sound pleasant to me, but they seem quite happy with their symphony, and that's what matters.
If your dog has a friend outside the dog or human species, how do they interact?
Dog's Life: Lifestyle
Seven ways to carpe the summer diem.
Sure, you could sit around inside with your dog, sweating and complaining about the heat. But why do that when there are so many ways to take advantage of the season's longer days and warmer weather?
Make your dog a warm-weather flop spot. Look for a shady area in your yard, dig a shallow pit sized to fit your pup, line it with a thin layer of concrete and before the concrete dries, poke holes in it for drainage. Once the concrete has set, fill the pit with playground sand, dampen it and let the fun begin.
Plan a toxin-free and dog-friendly landscape. No snail bait, no cocoa mulch, no lethal plants (check out the ASPCA site for a list of ones to avoid), no chemical fertilizers, no fungicides, no herbicides, no pesticides. Ideal landscaping/hardscaping material doesn't get too hot, is easy on the paws and— in a perfect world—doesn't track into the house on fuzzy feet; pea gravel and pavers fill the bill.
Have some good, wet fun—summer's prime time for water play. A caveat, however: keep an eye on your dog for signs of hyponatremia, aka water intoxication, which can come on fast and is life-threatening. Bone up on the symptoms and make sure your dog takes breaks.
Experiment with a new way to cruise. Rent a dog-friendly camper trailer or houseboat and see the world from a whole new perspective. Some camper rental companies will handle delivery, setup and hauling away; do an online search for a company in your preferred vacation spot. For on-the-water accommodations, check out Houseboating.org.
Take in a drive-in. Remember the al fresco movie experience of yesteryear? Some communities revive this lovely summer tradition, and some even allow you to skip the car and loll on a blanket under the stars. Search for summer + drive-in and see what comes up in your area.
Sign up for summer school and learn new skills or master old ones. Training, agility, herding and freestyle are all on the agenda. Then, there are dog camps—the summer camps of your childhood, but way better. For maximum relaxation, match the activity type and level to your and your dog's temperaments.
Mark your calendar with "dog days" concerts and sporting events. Special offerings tend to pop up this time of the year, perfect for enjoyment with the pooch.
We know we don't have to tell you this, but while you're having fun with the pup, keep safety in mind. Stay out of the sun during the warmest hours, have plenty of water available, dab sunscreen on both yourself and your dog (yes, there are sunscreens for dogs), take lots of well-shaded rest breaks and never, never, never leave your dog in the car. If you're out walking, listen to what your dog's telling you; let him rest if he wants to and don't coax him to go faster. Finally, do your best to avoid areas with foxtails, those sticky, diabolical grass awns (seeds) that burrow into fur and skin and, once well in, don't come out without surgery. If these wild grasses show up in your yard—which they're prone to do—pull them out while they're still green.

Carrying dogs no easy task
I saw Lucy at the running store that her guardians own, bandaged up and limping a bit. She was also enjoying the sympathy of customers and friends, especially if that sympathy came with a side of treats. While chasing a squirrel, Lucy had run into a piece of old barbed wire that had sliced her leg pretty badly.
Following a visit to the emergency veterinarian, treatment involving stitches, bandages, antibiotics and painkillers, and a substantial transfer of funds from the guardians to the vet, Lucy is on the mend. She won't be running for the next little while, but will instead be on a strict regimen of rest and sleep. She certainly will not be left home alone with the other two dogs in the household to play and damage her bandages or healing leg, which is why she was at work.
Luckily, Lucy will be fine, but there is one piece of the story that really stresses me out, and that's how far Lucy's guardian had to carry her from the spot where she was injured to get back to the car. I had asked about this specifically because so many people here in Flagstaff, Ariz. love running on remote trails, especially with their dogs. It was alarming to learn that Lucy had to be carried a mile and a half. This was quite a physical endeavor with a dog weighing over 60 pounds—even for her guardian, who is strong and fit. Some adrenaline from concern about her injury probably gave him a little boost, but it was still a challenge.
Even with internal chemical changes that help us out in emergencies, I shudder to think how hard it would be for most people to carry their injured dogs. Depending on the size of the dog, and the strength of the person, it could range from no big deal to actually impossible. If anyone is ever out stranded with a full grown English Mastiff or a Saint Bernard, the situation could become serious quite quickly, but many of us could run close to full speed with a small terrier.
How far have you had to carry your dog because of an injury? How far could you do that if you had to?

Adjustments because of the heat
A client just called me to request that we change our appointment this week to early in the morning to beat the record heat expected over the next few days. We have to be mindful of preventing this dog from overheating because one piece of our behavior modification work each week involves having him play fetch with strangers. The goal is to teach him to feel happy when he sees a stranger by associating strangers with the opportunity to play his favorite game. Right now, he still finds unfamiliar people scary, but thanks to many fetch games, his circle of familiar people has grown. There are now quite a few of us who he greets with happy anticipation, knowing that our presence means that a fetch game is in his immediate future.
Every summer, people make adjustments based on the heat, and this is especially true for those who live in hot climates. Sometimes the schedule changes are as simple as walking the dog a little earlier in the morning or a bit later in the evening. In other cases, physical activities are shortened by running or playing fetch for 20 minutes instead of for 45 minutes. There are dogs who have a seasonal rotation of activities based on the weather, so they may swim or walk in the hottest months, even though they go running alongside a bicycle for exercise during the rest of the year.
The most basic ways to modify activities to accommodate the stress of hot weather are to do less vigorous activity, to exercise for shorter periods of time and to be active during the coolest parts of the day. What changes are you making in your schedule so your dog is not exposed to the excessive heat?
Dog's Life: Home & Garden
These stylish and durable flooring materials and fabrics let you give Fido the run of the house
World, meet Chewie. Chewie is my favorite chow chow–German shepherd mix in the world. But as much as I love my rescued best friend, having him around typically means constant shedding, some drooling and more than a few lost pillows. Sound familiar?
Having Chewie has forced me to consider how to make coexisting under the same roof more of a pleasant experience than a dreadful chore. And all it took was picking some clever materials for our townhome. Below is some advice I wish I'd had before committing to my long-term relationship with my dog. Let's dig in.

Let's start at the bottom: the floors. Our townhome has hardwood floors, and I've wished on more than one occasion that they were concrete instead. This is especially true for homeowners who are considering a puppy, because lots of messes come along with potty training.

Another great floor material for puppy training? Natural stone — though be aware that porous materials, such as marble, can stain. So choose wisely what kind of stone you install.
Porcelain tile is a fantastic alternative to natural stone. To accomplish this sophisticated and clean look, make sure the grout lines are minimal. Also, it's good to note that dogs, seniors and puppies in particular, could have a tough time gaining traction on these floors so watch out for injuries. See our tips on caring for senior dogs.

Of course, hardwood floors can work well too. Just know that when your pet reaches maturity, you may have to refinish those lovely boards. Thankfully, with hardwood floors, you can always count on intact wood beneath the scratched surface.
Laminate is a practical way to get out of the extensive care of hardwood. It maintains the look while offering a virtually indestructible play surface for your best friend.

For a softer option, you can always choose carpet. Just be prepared — it will take some vacuuming to keep that freshly installed look.
If you want a more practical option for carpeting, you could choose carpet tiles. Minor accidents (bound to happen) can be remedied by replacing individual tiles instead of an entire floor of carpeting. I speak from experience.

I would have thought a cowhide would be one of the last choices for floor treatments in a house with pets. To my surprise, the cowhide in my house is one of the most practical decisions I have ever made. Its texture naturally repels dog and cat hair. This interior takes full advantage of the cowhide's beauty and durability.

When it comes to furniture, my advice is to go for a low-maintenance fabric. I have not found a successful way of keeping my dogs off the couch (have you?), and every day I am thankful for my lucky decision to purchase a microfiber sofa. Microfiber is one of the most forgiving upholstery fabrics; it cleans up with great ease.

Perhaps an even better option for furniture is leather, especially for dogs. You can simply wipe it clean and be done.

Good Dog: Behavior & Training
Do you have a runner, a sniffer or a greeter?
Being overjoyed about going for a walk is almost universal among the canine set. If you reach for that leash, lace up your shoes or do anything that suggests even the remote possibility that you are going for a walk, your dog is probably thrilled.
However, dogs are making use of the sacred walk time for different purposes. Though many dogs like everything about a walk, there are at least three categories of dogs, based on what they most love about their outings.
Some dogs are runners. What they want out of the walk is exercise, so they want to be moving, preferably as fast as possible. These are the dogs who need their daily (or twice daily or all day) activity. They often pull on the leash at first, but once they get into a rhythm, burned off some energy and released some endorphins, they settle down a bit. They still want to run or trot, but they are more flexible about whatever pace you choose.
It's rare to find a dog who has no interest in sniffing on their walks, but for many of them, it is their top priority from start to finish. They have their nose to the ground much of the walk, suddenly getting incredibly interested in stretches of grass that look to us, the olfactory challenged humans, exactly like every other stretch of grass. These dogs seek mental stimulation on walks, and their minds are stimulated by the smells that are here! And there! And everywhere!
Even the most social of dogs are often distracted by their own desire to be active or to sniff all over the place. However, there are some dogs whose main purpose on walks is to meet-and-greet. These are the social butterfly, table-hopper types who simply want to say hello to other dogs, to people or even to the occasional cat. These greeters love to connect with others, and may even be slightly disappointed if there are few others out and about during walks. Related to the social dogs are the dogs whose purpose is marking their territory and patrolling the area. These dogs, like other social dogs, are highly interested in who is (and has been)out and about.
Many dogs are a combination of these traits. The love to run, sniff and say hello, but as a guardian, you probably know your dog well enough to understand which activity is most important.
Do you have a runner, a sniffer, a greeter or a dog with an entirely different priority?

What non-essential dog items do you love?
As I get older I value my comfort just a little more. I appreciate cup holders, soft cozy blankets, and chairs whose designers were inspired by the human body rather than thoughts of fitting 100 chairs in a storage closet. When it comes to dogs, little luxuries mean more to me, too. Just today I walked dogs with leashes that have soft padding in the handle, and I realized that these are the leashes for me. It's a little thing, that extra padding, but I just love the feel of it my hand. Even with dogs who have lovely leash manners (but especially if they are still working on them) that extra cushion protects my hands from any harshness, and I love it!
I felt the same way years ago when I first discovered the Chuck It. Okay, a little dog slobber never hurt anybody, but a quart of it on a tennis ball is not what I'm looking for in hand moisturizer, either. I'm also a big fan of the folding dog water bowl. To be able to hike with dogs and easily help them hydrate without having a big, clunky water bowl digging into my back through a backpack adds much joy to the outing.
While I am a huge fan of the stuffed Kong, sometimes it feels like a lot of work to stuff one. (I'm not proud of that, but it's the truth.) When such an every day task seems hard, I'm grateful for Kong's Marathon toys. They can keep a dog occupied for a long time but just take a moment for me to lock the compatible treat into the fitted slot.
Microfiber towels that absorb water and mud from a dog's underbelly and paws are indispensable to me now. Sure, any basic towel works, but they don't necessarily work as well as the microfiber ones. Even easier to use (and therefore better) are the microfiber mitts that dry dogs without slipping, which means that your hands don't get wet and muddy.
There are so many items that I appreciate just because they make life a tiny bit easier and more convenient. Non-stick mats that go under food and water bowl keep bowls from sliding all over the floor are a huge plus—no scratches in the floor, easy clean-up of spills, and no racket from clanking bowls. Travel food bags that only take up as much room as the food you have left are a huge improvement over bulky plastic containers. Poop bag holders that attach to a belt loop or the leash free up my hands and pockets, and therefore belong on my list of non-essential dog items that make me happy.
What little luxuries in dog gear make your life just a little better?

According to New York, the decision was made after the Murdochs received initial findings of a sexual harassment investigation conducted by law firm Paul, Weiss. James Murdoch reportedly insisted that Ailes should be given a choice regarding whether he wants to be fired or resign. Since Carlson filed the lawsuit against Ailes, over a dozen women have contacted her attorney to register similar complaints against the CEO, including one woman who recounted how Ailes, whose exposed genitals were "red like raw hamburger," locked her in a room and instructed her to "kiss them." Advertisement Advertisement On Friday, news broke that Ailes had been bolstering his legal team to include the general counsel of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Michael Dukakis' former campaign manager. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ailes has also hired John B. Quinn, who had previously represented Mattel, and Susan Estrich, the first woman president of the Harvard Law Review and author of Real Rape, a book about the law's "casual treatment" of rape cases.Carlson's lawyers have also accused Ailes of "illegal and inappropriate judge shopping," for his attempt to move the lawsuit into federal court and secret arbitration, according to Talking Points Memo. Estrich countered that the claim was nothing more than a "converted smear campaign," and accused Carlson's team of judge shopping themselves.21st Century Fox has reportedly declined to comment to CNN on their alleged decision to oust Ailes.

Details of Ed Sheeran Washington Tickets and the Ticket Luck value
Ed Sheeran is hogging the headlines everywhere and perhaps he's one of those rare artists who get the attention for all the right reasons. After being spotted together in several places, rumors are that flame-haired, teen heartthrob is currently dating Nicole Scherzinger. Former member of Pussycat Doll, she even joined Ed Sheeran on his "x Tour", performing with the star on his three London Wembley Arena concerts. In the music world, Sheeran has stepped up in place of Justin Bieber and will replace the artist at the Birmingham Fusion Festival. Bieber took to Twitter and thanked Sheeran, claiming that he owes him one. Also, the shaggy haired, dapper superstar featured in Macklemore's music video for the song "Growing Up (Sloane's Song)" with which he has announced the birth of his daughter.
Ed Sheeran Teams Up with Label Mate Christina Perri
After his "x Tour" was declared sold out in numerous cities, the star has announced a second North American leg. In September alone he will be performing on multiple dates and has two shows scheduled in Washington. In most of his September shows he will be joined by the guest star Christina Perri.
The news has excited the fans even more and they are rushing for their Ed Sheeran Washington tickets. It promises to be a magical night with two sensuous crooners sharing the stage. And you never know, they might even sing together the hit song "Be My Forever". And the crowd will definitely hold its breath for the chart topper, critically acclaimed ballad "Thinking Out Loud".

DORA and government control
The scale of the First World War forced the government to take control of British society and the
British economy to an unprecedented extent. Propaganda was used to maintain morale on the home

We're just about to start our first IVF cycle and the nurse told me today that I need to drink 1 - 2 litres of water a day in the first couple of weeks of the cycle then up it to 2 -3 litres in the second couple of weeks. WOW! She said that it helps flush the hormones through. Does anyone else know about this? Have you made sure you do it and found that it helps?
I'm not against it (at this point I'll do just about anything), just wondering if you've found benefits. As much as I try to be better, I'm a bit hopeless on remembering to drink water during the day usually so it will be a good thing for me anyhow.

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

Expand your needlepoint repertoire with the Roman Stripe pattern from Nuts About Needlepoint! This is a great stitch to know - you'll love the amazing projects you can complete!
- Floss
- Stash
- The design is stitched entirely in floss.
- Solid colors are best for this project, but very subtle hand-dyes, such as The Gentle Arts will also work.
- The design is very small on 18 mesh (1.25″ x 2.25″), so you might want to enlarge the design by substituting Scotch Stitches for the Tent Stitches and adding a wide border.
- Begin by picking your large triangle color. It can be black or another dark color. You will also need five colors for the stripes.

Ellen Hopkins is my favourite author, she writes books that are so down to earth and relevant. I have almost all of them and love every single one!
I pretty much own all of Ellen Hopkins books and I love them. They are just so powerful and deep and they really hit me hard. Some of the stories I can relate to and some of the characters that she writes about. She is just an amazing author. I love how the books are written in kind of a poem style and it follows various different characters stories in each book.
I love Ellen Hopkins as a writer. I own every book she has every written and have read them multiple times. When I am having problems finding a book to get into these are my go to books. They are amazing, and show so much insight into the topics. Love her
As most of the books from the author Ellen Hopkins, this book provides incredible tragedy while addressing both common & uncommon struggles of teenage men & woman. I highly recommend it to anyone with a teen who is suffering from depression or anxiety, or perhaps has grown up with a strict religious upbringing. The way Hopkins writes her books can be considered strange due to its poetic appearance but you get used to the reading style very quickly & it turns into a unique attribute of her writing that will make you want to read the rest of her books.

Notre Dame one victory away from national championship game
NEW YORK — Notre Dame is a victory away from playing for the BCS title. Alabama and Georgia each need two, and could have to go through each other.
A day after Oregon and Kansas State lost to give up control of the BCS race, the Fighting Irish (.9973) moved into first-place in the standings for the first time.
Notre Dame (11-0), ranked No. 1 in both polls and by the computer ratings, needs only to beat slumping rival USC on Saturday in Los Angeles to earn its first trip to the BCS title game.
Alabama (.9333) and Georgia (.8763) also have rivalry games Saturday. The Crimson Tide hosts Auburn and the Bulldogs play Georgia Tech at home.
If the favorites win, the SEC championship game will be a national semifinal of sorts, with the winner advancing to the BCS title game.

Hello all,I am being offered a job in Liberia on Ebola project, and I tend to accept it. Hopefully the deployment will happen in October, very soon... I've never been to Africa before, and thus have no idea how it is to live there. I count on the international community to help me with integration, so any suggestions are welcome!1. What is the weather there like? What kind of clothes should I take with me, or what expats normally wear... like jeans, t-shirt, sandal shoes?2. What are the essential things that I should cary with me to Liberia?3. Are there, or are there not, any restrictions (to dress-code or something else) for women? Sorry for such stupid question, I just know nothing about that place, and internet is not very informative.4. Any tango community? Probably not, but... maybe some expats are the same tango-addict.
Thanks a lot!

I have been an avid couponer for over 10 years-back when it was easier to shop, stores doubled and even tripled coupons and just about everything I wanted was in stock. However, things have changed. I no longer care to driver from store to store because I am almost certain that the product I am looking for will be out of stock. Walmart has helped with their price match policy which makes it easier to get all of the things on sale at one place. Now you can still score great deals without stores offering to double or triple coupons anymore…all with the help of coupons and grocery store apps
I will admit that it took me awhile to get used to saving my receipts and checking to see if anything I purchased, gave cash back. I felt like it was one more step that I had to do in addition to clipping coupons, looking for deals, organizing my binder and doing the actual grocery shopping. But I realized that the point is to save money….so if me saving money at the store is a plus, then me saving more money using the apps, its a winner. I have provided a list of the apps that should be downloaded on your phone.
Grocery Store Apps:
- My favorite is Ibotta. I love this app. Maybe its because it was technically my first app I downloaded. They also give you more cash back when you participate
- Checkout 51. Offers go live on Thursdays at 12:00 AM in each time zone. They expire the following Wednesday at 11:59 PM in each time zone. You must upload your receipts while the offers are live. So you basically have a week to get your receipts in.
- Cartwheel. Now Cartwheel is exclusive to target but I have been able to score FREE fruits and veggies and even 50% off some items.
- Mobisave. The thing I love about mobisave is that you don't have to wait until you reach $20 or so to cash out. You can cash out after each recipt. There is no minimum.
- Snapp by Groupon. I have never used this one myself. I played around with it
All of them work the same. You review the cash back offers and select the ones you purchased. Scan or snap a picture of your receipt, Then get paid. The difference between them is that some require a minimum before you can cash out.
What are some of the grcoery store apps that you use?

Setup was nearly instantaneous, and the system was up and running the day the license was signed, and all the local IT department had to do was to point to the DigitalCommons server, which took less than five minutes! (As Nabe said, "An institutional repository in a day—and it works!")" Monday, June 12, 2006 InfoToday Inc. SLA 2006 Conference Blog

Responding to Faculty Concerns
Getting published/tenure Journals do not consider IR preprints "prior submissions" - Elsevier as example Most journals (92%+) will allow preprints to stay up after publication See SHERPA/RoMeo site (http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo.php) for publisher's copyright listings/permissions Don't want others to "steal" an idea from the repository Publishing in IR establishes precedence of the idea Like-minded others may become supporters or collaborators With Digital Commons, when needed, you can opt to restrict access Too busy to participate Digital Commons posting is easy, and takes less than 2 minutes Adjust your workflow to use administrative staff as needed
Engaging the Faculty Improve your scholarly profile Up to double the citation rate Make research more discoverable with Digital Commons Papers are indexed in Google, OAIster and other library resources Integration with Blackboard through the ResearchNow Building Block Increased dissemination fosters collaboration Preserve your legacy permanently Durable URLs Share your research There are 10,000 – 20,000 scholarly journals. Open Access journals account for 5-10% percent All universities do not subscribe to all journals. Scholars in developing nations get even less Provide an electronic bibliography with full text Using the Digital Commons Selected Works page

text: I have come to a position that the method is as important as the message. I see it in the scriptures and have tried to take the message (the gospel of Christ, i.e. death, burial and resurrection) to the lost remembering there is a way that the Lord has commanded for it to be done. For instance: "If just one person gets saved then our 4 million dollar loan from the bank is worth it". I have heard this shouted for years from the pulpits. Is it right to sink ourselves in debt to have $300,000 "Family Life Centers"? I am not picking on Family Life Centers mind you, it's just the way that we get them. I have seen bond programs sink into the everlasting abyss and Sister Sallie (widow) never get paid because the church split and couldn't make the payments and then receivership with the CEO of the Bank running the ministries of the church. 2nd example: Madison Ave. Technique, Circus church. Worlds tallest man, worlds most talking parrots, 500,000 super balls dropped from helicopter into church parking lot, kite sunday, White Castle sunday, Swallow a gold fish sunday and on and on and on. Do whatever it takes to bring in the funds to keep the TV ministry, radio ministry, christian school ministry and on and on and on. Is the method as important as the message? Thanks Bartimaeus/Ky/Look Away!

There are multiple artists with this name:
1. Gored is a German goregrind duo who play fast guttural grindcore. The band has releasedtheir debut album "Human" in 2008.
2. Gored is a Brutal death metal band from Texas, USA. They formed in 2002 by Miguel Gomez (Vocals, Disembowel (US)), Daniel Valdez (Guitars, Legionstorm) and Chris "Goreblaster" Salazar (Drums, Putrilage). However, Daniel decided to fold the band shortly after the release of their two demos "Grotesque Bodily Disfigurement" and "War Blasting Domination" but he reformed it back in 2003 with Llamar Vasquez (Guitars) joining the members. The band play down-tuned brutal death metal with blasting drums, racing to breakdown-esque guitars and guttural low vocals.
They released "Incinerate The Vanquished" via Forever Underground Records in 2005. The release included the typical charaistics of a brutal death band and the band are currently touring as of late 2008.
3. Gored was a brutal death metal band from Japan.

The iPod is many things: portable media player (if you take the literal approach); style accessory; style icon (if you buy into the marketing speak); even lifestyle choice. Next the humble iPod could could emerge as the unlikely saviour of America's flagging economy.
About $60 billion (£30.5 billion) is expected to pour into shopping malls in June and July as Americans rush to spend the tax rebates handed to them by Washington, which are intended to kick-start the economy. Economists expect much of the rebate money to be spent on household goods and electrical items — and that means television

I received my 960 Pro 1TB about a month ago. When I first received it, it benched exactly as expected (3300-3500 read, 2100-2200 write, and all the randoms were fine). Keep in mind this was in CrystalDiskMark running a 1GiB test size.
Samsung Magician V5.0 had no trouble making the drive look excellent, either. 3500+ read, 2100+ write, 450,000+ random read and 360,000+ random write.
Fast forward to today: Randoms in both test programs seem fine. Sequentials have bombed, though….
