In years gone by, a three-point loss to the Canberra Gunners would have been cause for celebration among Dubbo Rams fans.
That's the mentality new coach Bart Sykes is trying to change this season.
Perennial strugglers in the Waratah League, Sykes and his new-look Rams are gunning to return to the peak of the competition this year and fell just short of a dream start on Saturday afternoon at the Woolshed.
With former Division 1 college player Adam Ward starting, the returning duo of Will Howell and Steve Hall in the lineup and one-time Sydney Kings player Martin Iti coming off the bench, the Rams almost achieved a stunning come-from-behind win over the Canberra Gunners.
But the Gunners, regularly one of the top teams in the league, held their nerve late on and two three-pointers inside the final minute sealed a 72-69 victory.
"There was positives but obviously a loss is a loss and we're trying to get away from that mentality that close enough is good enough," Sykes said.
"It's disappointing to lose but there were some positives."

Howell was one of the biggest positives, leading all scorers with 26 points despite some early foul trouble while the 213cm Iti provided a real presence at both ends of the court.
Ward also "rolled up his sleeves" and got into the battle while Jason Brown got through plenty of minutes as well.
While the new season and new players filled local fans with plenty of hope, the bumper crowd on Saturday had little to cheer about early on.
The Gunners dominated and after leading 24-11 after the first quarter, took a 43-28 advantage into the main break.
Sykes confessed he could have changed his defensive structure earlier but when he went from a man-to-man to a zonal approach in the second half the tide began to change.
"We did that in the second half and obviously we won that half by 17 or 18 points so if we did that earlier we change the whole outcome of the game," Sykes said.
The Rams roared back into the game after the break and the crowd started to get more and more involved as Ward and the towering Iti showcased their skills with a number of dunks.
The Rams were within seven at three-quarter time and despite Ward battling serious cramp late on, the home side soon found themselves in front with just minutes remaining.
A Ward free throw put Dubbo up by three with 50 seconds to go but then Canberra's Jarrod Fenwick landed a three from the corner to lock things up.
Ward missed two free throws shortly after, only to see the Gunners work the ball down and take a 72-69 lead courtesy of another Fenwick three.
Dubbo had one last shot in the final seconds to level it up but Shayne Brown was left with a difficult three-point attempt and it missed, handing Canberra victory.
"They're a top three team and they're fast, young and well-structured so that's the yardstick," Sykes said.
"They gave it to us in the first half so it was good to come back like we did."
Sykes added Iti is likely to become much more of a focal point in attack in the coming weeks after dropping 11 points on Saturday.
Ward finished with 14 and those two, along with Howell, were the only players in double figures.
The Rams travel to Sutherland this Saturday before hosting the defending champions, Bankstown, in round three.

The most amazing thing has happened. No, really, it has!
Mothers Love Cookies, yes, our lovely little home bakery, is featured in the current issue (July/August, in newsstands from 19 June) of the gorgeous Baby London magazine. We are very fortunate to be part of a small article on Lactation Treats. Weeeeeeeee!
The people at Baby London have been ever so kind to us. We are mentioned in their Food News and also again on the offers pages. They have included a very complimentary review of our cookies, which has just been the cherry on top of this whole experience. There are two beautiful photos, one featuring our delicious Coconut & Dark Chocolate Cookies, both taken by the talented James Corbett (thank you, James!) as well as some very kind words about our bakes. Lots of new and soon-to-be Mums are sure to see what our business has to offer for the first time, and that, my friends, is something to be excited about!
Click here to see the page: Baby London Food News
How did this happen to a small home bakery, you might ask?
Well, I'll tell you. A few months ago, I sent messages out to all of the top UK baby magazines, introducing myself and telling them a little bit about what we do at Mothers Love Cookies.
Most of the magazines replied by asking for more information, which I promptly provided. Baby London, however, asked for a sample box to be sent to them. I was ecstatic! I baked a variety of delicious treats and merrily posted them to London.
I waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, I decided to send a message to confirm they received the box. Unfortunately, they did not. They asked for another box. I agreed, but decided I would send this box 'recorded delivery' for my own piece of mind.
I baked another lovely selection of my bakes and posted it. This is what I received the very next day:
Hi Meg!!
We've just received the box – and oh my gosh are your cookies delicious. They're v. popular! Also thanks for sending all the info – super helpful. Will be in touch soon once we've decided which issue we'll be putting the feature in.
Baby London x
This was in April, actually the 1st of April, but it was no joke.
Fast-forward to 27th of May. I received another message from Baby London. This time I was told that Mothers Love Cookies will definitely be featured in the July/August issue under Food News, including a review of our bakes. I have to say, I was over the moon!
In an effort to thank Baby London and encourage all it's readers to order lots and lots of our yummy treats, we are offering 20% off all orders from Baby London readers. To find the code, simply pick up a copy of the magazine!
We will also be offering a discount to all Baby Surrey and Baby Hampshire readers as well! So if you live in London, Surrey or Hampshire, be sure to pop out and buy a lovely magazine and check out our special discount codes.
All the best,
Meg x

Alumni Mentoring Program
The College of Nursing Mentoring Program connects nursing students and alumni by matching students with professionals in their area of interest who can offer advice and information about career options or other issues relevant to nursing.
The mentoring program is open to all alumni and current students of the College of Nursing, as well as to Penn State alumni working in nursing-related fields.
The application period for fall 2018 is now under way. Matching will take place in June and all alumni–protégé pairs will be notified of their acceptance into the program by the end of July. A kickoff luncheon will be held October 6. We ask that all pairs take this opportunity to meet in person at least one time. We will also be having a student orientation on September 18, 2018 that is mandatory for all students to attend.
Alumni: Become a Mentor
You can make an impact on a student's life by becoming a mentor. Mentors serve as guides to students, answering questions, giving advice, and helping them to learn more about themselves and their area of interest in nursing.
How can I enroll in the program?
If you are an alumna/alumnus of the College of Nursing, or any Penn State alumna/alumnus working in a nursing-related field, then you are eligible to mentor a student. Once we receive your application, we will match you with a student whose interests closely match your professional experience. You will be assigned a student with junior or senior standing so that your mentoring partnership can remain throughout the student's junior and senior years.
If you would like to be considered as a mentor, please complete the online application https://pennstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bClWTjWdkMnKaFf). Please contact Kim Woodward, assistant director of alumni relations, at 814-863-4039 or email@example.com should you have any questions.
What should I expect as a participant in the mentoring program?
Regular communication will help you and your protégé to get the most out of the program. Mentors/protégés can communicate with one another via email, phone, and visits to your workplace if you so choose. This is not a job placement program. You are not expected to offer employment to the student you are mentoring. You are simply asked to communicate regularly with the student as the two of you see fit. The student may have questions about areas of study, career options, or your career or area(s) of expertise and interest.
Apply to be a mentor online
If you would like to be considered as a mentor, and missed the application deadline, please contact Kim Woodward, assistant director of alumni relations, at 814-863-4039 or email@example.com. You will be placed in a reserve list should there be a need for additional mentors.
Students: Why Participate?
What is life like after college? What will I do after I graduate? How can I ensure that I have the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed after graduation?
An alumni mentor can help you with many of the questions you may have about your education and future career. Alumni mentors serve as a guide, answering questions, giving advice, and helping you to learn more about your field of interest and about yourself.
How can I enroll in the program?
If you are a student in the College of Nursing who will be a junior or senior in Fall 2018, then you are eligible to participate in the mentoring program. Simply fill out the form below to apply. If you are accepted into the program, we will match you with an alumni mentor whose professional experiences closely match your interests (as best we can). It is expected that your mentoring partnership will continue through your senior year (or until graduation). You are required to participate in an in-person training on September 18, 2018 (there will be a location in Hershey and one in University Park) and encouraged to attend the Mentoring Program Luncheon (at University Park) on October 6, 2018. At the luncheon you will have the opportunity to meet your mentor in person and work with your mentor to develop goals and action steps for participation in the program.
What should I expect as a participant in the mentoring program?
Regular communication with your mentor will help you to get the most out of the program. You can communicate with your mentor via e-mail, phone, or visits to your mentor's workplace if your mentor chooses. You may wish to ask your mentor about areas of study, career options, or their career or area(s) of expertise and interest. This is not a job placement program. You should not expect your mentor to offer you employment.

With the Easter holidays comes essays, revision and work – you could say that there isn't much to get excited about. But it is Easter – a valid reason to eat as much chocolate as we like without feeling guilty about it. What's more, supermarket and shop aisles are full to the brim with chocolate treats to help you through this 'stressful' period. To make your Easter egg making decision easier, we've reviewed ten of the large selection of Easter eggs on sale this year. So go on treat yourself, or even your loved ones if you're feeling generous…
For children… Hotel Chocolat Hop egg £7 (egg weight: 90g)
Most of our younger siblings love chocolate regardless of the time of year, and Easter is no exception. Hotel Chocolat has developed the hop egg, a caramel chocolate egg that comes with milk and dark chocolate bunnies and chicks.
This Easter egg is an adorable alternative to the standard Cadbury Easter eggs that many of us give and receive every year. At £7, it isn't overly expensive for the quality of the chocolate – good for our student bank balances.
However, as with Hotel Chocolat's products, this egg is quite a sophisticated gift, and perhaps a little too grown up for some children. Despite its reasonable price tag, you also only get 90g of chocolate.
For something extravagant… Bettys milk chocolate egg with handmade chocolates £35 (egg and chocolates weight: 430g)
As a student in York, you've probably visited or dreamed of a visit to Bettys. The café tearooms is one of England's most famous, selling beautiful handcrafted goods produced in its Harrogate bakery. For something a little bit special this Easter, Bettys is the answer. This beautiful Easter egg is wrapped in gold foil and made with Swiss milk chocolate, a perfect Easter treat. Inside the egg is a selection of hand made chocolates made in the bakery, including rose and violet creams and vanilla caramel hearts.
A beautiful gift that definitely has the wow factor. The chocolates are a nice luxury touch.
This egg is very pricey, however Bettys do have some beautiful lower priced alternatives on sale.
For white chocolate lovers… Thorntons white chocolate chunky egg £6.99 (egg weight: 320g)
White chocolate Easter eggs are difficult to come across even in the bigger supermarkets, but for all you white chocolate fans, there's no need to worry. Thorntons has it covered with this white chocolate chunky egg. For an extra personal touch, Thorntons offer the chance to have a message iced on the egg for free.
At £6.99, the price is good for the amount of chocolate and the no extra cost personal touch.
One thing to bear in mind is that the egg comes with no little extras.
For dark chocolate lovers… Green and Black Organic Dark egg £10.99 (egg weight: 365g)
Green & Black are known for their good quality chocolate with rich and intense chocolate flavours. This Easter egg is no exception. 70% cocoa and made from trinitario cocoa beans, this is a luxury dark chocolate Easter egg. The egg also comes with two miniature chocolate bars – dark chocolate with ginger, and dark with burnt toffee.
The miniature chocolate bars are a nice extra touch. As with all of Green and Black's dark chocolate, the product is suitable for vegetarians and Fairtrade.
At £10, this egg is more expensive than most, but it is worth paying a little bit extra for Green and Black quality.
For vegans… Moo Free vegan bunnycomb egg £4.40 (egg weight: 100g)
Moo Free has brought out a new version of its bestselling milk chocolate vegan Easter egg this year. This 'honeycomb' infused egg is made from organic rice milk chocolate and embedded with crunchy, dairy free honeycomb toffee. It is strictly dairy free and made from a combination of natural, organic and fairtrade ingredients.
This is a great, well-priced vegan Easter egg from Moo Free.
To purchase this Easter egg, you'll have to go to a specialist health food shop or order it online. Amazon has a good selection.
For reliving childhood memories… Marks and Spencer Colin the Caterpillar egg £6 (egg weight: 245g)
We all remember blowing out the candles on a Colin the Caterpillar cake at one childhood birthday or another. Marks and Spencer are allowing us to relive those memories with this novelty Easter treat. Colin consists of hollow milk chocolate made from British milk, with white chocolate decoration.
A brilliant novelty Easter egg that isn't too expensive.
It's not really an egg by definition, but it's definitely something a little different.
For something different… Harrods milk chocolate egg with dolly mix £12.95 (egg weight: 200g)
We associate Harrods with luxury, and this is no different when it comes to Easter eggs. This year, Harrods has devised this milk chocolate egg that comes with dolly mix – perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth.
Sweets and chocolate make this egg something different, and at £12.95, the price is reasonable considering it comes from London's famed department store.
Quite tricky to get hold of unless you live in London, as it's only available to purchase in Harrods itself or online.
For something fruity… Chokablok very berry eton mess egg £5 (egg weight: 300g)
If you can't wait a few months to eat eton mess, the classic summertime pudding, then this Easter egg is for you. Raspberry flavoured white chocolate is mixed with strawberry and raspberry pieces, and even topped with meringue, an easter egg take on the fruity summer pudding. Chokablok products are exclusive to Tesco, with ice cream, hot chocolate and slabs of chocolate also available. Other flavours include cookie dough and billionaire shortcake.
This is a great price for a cheaper version of a high end product. Chokablok's eton mess range is a budget version of Hotel Chocolat's iconic eton mess chocolate products.
It does, however, has a very sweet white chocolate taste but this is offset slightly by the fruitiness of the strawberry and raspberry pieces.
For a bit of fun… Cadbury Easter Egg trail pack £3 (pack weight: 229g)
The truth is, regardless of age, you are never too old for a good old Easter egg hunt around the garden. Cadbury has devised an Easter egg trail pack for us to relive the chocolate of our childhood and go on a little Easter egg hunt. The pack consists of colourful mini milk chocolate hollow eggs to hide, and even a little pack of mini eggs for the winner.
You can't go wrong with Cadburys chocolate. This trail pack is something a bit different, and great value considering it's only £3.
There are only 10 small eggs included, so a few packs may be needed if a few people want to get involved.
For something alcoholic… Kinnerton Baileys Easter Egg and truffles £10 (egg weight: 360g)
If you're a fan of Baileys or the person you're buying for is, this Easter egg is a great choice. A milk chocolate egg infused with the classic Bailey's flavour, the egg comes with a selection of milk, white and dark chocolate Baileys liqueur truffles.
Grab one of only a few branded Easter eggs containing alcohol available.
It isn't the highest quality chocolate; the egg itself and the truffles taste a bit too sickly sweet. It also doesn't actually contain a very high percentage of Baileys, so this egg is more for the novelty.

Skip to comments.New MSNBC promo: You have the right to health care, education, housing, and food at all times
Posted on 04/10/2013 1:01:48 PM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia
Via Newsbusters, something to tide you over on a news day that started out fast and has slowed considerably. Give Harris-Perry credit, at least, for fine-tuning her messaging. Youre not going to sell swing voters on far-left liberalism by telling them their kids dont really belong to them, but tell them that they have a right at all times to things they need and youre golden. If you polled the public on whether people should have a right to all of this, where would the numbers top out? Seventy percent? Eighty? The American public loves, loves, loves government spending, partly because theyre never asked to consider the zero-sum nature of federal expenditures in a budget that balances and partly because they still dont fully appreciate the consequences of endless borrowing. Both parties spent years shrugging at the fallacy that current spending levels can be supported by current tax rates. Under those circumstances, why wouldnt the average low-information think everyone should have the right to housing, food, etc? Throw in the right to phone service and personal transportation while youre at it. Put it on our collective tab.

Your 50 inch plasma T V will be a "telescreen" and will monitor all that happens in its presence.
The Communists own the media, entertainment, and the schools...we have no voice.
Cool! Where do I sign up?
The your children are property of the state (collective) comes out of the illegal wire tap of McConnel's office published in Mother Jones print and audio outlets.Who were "exposing" the Senate minority leader and creating another lefty victim Ashley nut case Judd, and her carpetbag entry into the KY US senate race.
There is another trap being used and that is the so called opposition to cutting Social Security by the Soros off the wall outlets. That while the Republican nitwits are praising Obama (instead of calling him a liar) for supporting budget cuts..
Even Limbaugh didn't catch this drift on todays show. Let's hope he thinks about that move and brings up that slant to it tommorrow.
And, who has the "right" to pay for it all?
In case you're wondering where she could possibly have gotten this notion of universal welfare...
Article 25.
(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
(2) Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.
Unless you are elderly or unborn. Then the government will take everything you own and kill you.
Is that right!!! Then I demand that Warren Buffett give me 1/3 of all his assets so that I can provide my family with all of those things we have a "right to" but don't want to work any harder for, any longer. C'mon Warren will never miss it and he lives right across town.
Next, you geniuses at MSNBC, you're next in line to support my neighbors when they decide not to work so get ready to fork over your assets boys and girls.
Before the Emancipation Proclamation, democrat plantation owners had the right to own slaves and now the democrat party is trying to bring back its heritage of slavery by making tax slaves out of all of us, except for them and their supporters.
You have the right to jack and $h!t and the sole of my boot on your asses.
Keep pushing us all toward that 1776 moment you National Socialist Democrats.
Trouble with the plan is that eventually the State takes so much that those with ability decide there is no point in making things and that they may as well just take like the others. They decide I will only make enough to satisfy the overlords. It makes no difference how much I produce I earn no more. Why should I work harder than my neighbor if it does not profit it me.
If there is no profit in work, work becomes self defeating. If no one works eventually everyone dies. This is why communist states must be prison states. People must be forced to remain there because everyone not in the leadership knows that death surrounds them.
Communism is alive and well in America..never thought Id see the day where people actually embrace Communism but here it is, right in front of us..truly scary times
A lot of people would be fine with this. A lot of people.
"Who is John Galt?"
Only too late will today's generations learn that lesson, after their freedom and dreams have been destroyed.
Now is the time to retell the American Founders' story, heed their warnings, and, in the words of Jefferson's First Inaugural, "return to the only road which leads to peace, liberty, and safety."
"To preserve [the] independence [of the people,] we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:39
"I deem [this one of] the essential principles of our government and consequently [one] which ought to shape its administration:... The honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of the public faith." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801. ME 3:322
"I sincerely believe... that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:23
"[With the decline of society] begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia [war of all against all], which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816. ME 15:40
....just don't ask tax evading General Electric to pay for it.
but you don't have the right to raise your kids as you see fit
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy."—Attributed to Alexander Fraser Tytler

A while ago, the kids found a tree frog outside on our carport support pillar. Their interest in the frog made the frog desire a more secure hide-out, so he hopped up the pillar and under a piece of the wood that supports the carport roof.
Unbeknownst to the FROG, a corn snake had also decided that that exact plank made a great hid out to curl up in during the cool morning.
Here is the scene we were privy to...the frog on one side, the snake on the other, and no discernible way to rescue the frog without alarming the snake. I'm still not sure what became of either one, but we've never seen them again!

I've ended up not being able to attend
Hopefully Francois can come to the West Coast some time... I'd book a room at Balboa Park for you guys if you'd give a talk
Hi Folks:
I picked up Francois at the airport last night and we are very excited about his talks on Thursday at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA and at Meadowview on Saturday. Please let me know if you can attend either talk. The talk at Meadowview on Saturday will include a webinar, see http://www.pitcherplant.org/Newslett...tml#livestream, where you can ask questions electronically and see the lecture.
Francois has done some amazing research in Indo-China and you will see some remarkable habitat for Nepenthes and other rare plants.

Looking for a breeder(12 Posts)
We're about to start looking for a dog so looking around at breeders.
Any tips what we should be looking for? I'm thinking meeting Mum ( and Dad ideally) and pup not being taken away from mum until 12 weeks old?
Yes to meeting Mum - Dad, not so much, as many breeders will travel miles, or even across countries/continents to use the RIGHT dog, rather than what is nearby.
12 weeks - not unless you are buying a toy breed. Most pups would leave at 8 weeks, and this is perfectly appropriate. I would prefer that they have NOT had a first innoculation, as many vets will not use the same drug protocol and will want to start again.
Look for a breeder who can demonstrate their quality - showring or working. Yes, this does matter even if it's not what you want, as it gives you a far better likelihood that the pup you buy will look and behave as the breed you chose.
Look at the appropriate breed club's website to see what health tests are applicable, and ask for evidence of them. This will not be a general vet test, it will be official health test certificates.
A good breeder will ask you at least as many questions as you ask them, and having a pup for you will not be a given if they don't think you're the best home.
Try and make sure that any puppy you get is not inbred - read up a little on COI (co-efficient of inbreeding). The more inbred a dog (or any animal) is, the likelier it is to have genetic defects leading to illness or infirmity.
If the breeder you speak to doesn't understand COI or says it doesn't matter, I'd not buy a puppy from them.
Definitely meet their mother. I would also ask to meet the father. If it's a decent breeder, they would know the father well - decent breeders wouldn't use a male dog it doesn't see often or doesn't know much about.
It's 8 weeks not 12.
I personally would rather they didn't have their first vaccinations, but a lot of breeders do. It wouldn't be a deal breaker if they did.
They of course have to be microchipped now before leaving the breeders.
It's a really good sign if the breeders ask you lots of questions about housing situation/knowledge of the breed etc. Not a good sign if they're willing to let them go to just anybody!
Ask about the mothers history - any female that has been made to have several litters is cruel.
Health history. Hip and elbow scores etc if you have a breed well known for joint problems.
What sort of dog are you after?
Look up what health tests the parents should have as depending on the breed of dog you want there may be recommended tests. You'll need proof of these tests. Champdogs is a good resource of breeders if you're after a pedigree dog. I would also get in touch with a breeder before they have a litter as many have a waiting list. I have found that breeders are a bit of a clique and they all know each other, get in with one and they'll often help you out with other breeders. Likewise if they don't like the sound of you you'll draw a blank from others.You'll need to demonstrate you're worthy and serious about their puppies in many cases.
When we got our terrier we went out to visit twice - as much so the breeder could check us out as we could look at the pups. Our one was one of a litter of 5 - we met parents and grandparents. We did not take her until early January so she was 13 weeks, well socialised, fully weaned from her mother and almost fully house trained. She was also chipped, had full course of vaccinations and had a bloodtest to rule out a very breed specific issue (we were given the blood test result).
Which breeds are you looking at? exciting times :D
Some breeds do not leave Mum until they are 12 weeks old, some other breeds do well leaving at 8 weeks onwards but this will be advised by the breeder.
In the first instance I would contact the breed secretary to ask advice of breeders that may (or may not) be local to you and will be able to give you some contact details. Be prepared for a wait list but also do some homework about the breed before you call.
You can also have a google to see if there are any dog shows near you although don't expect them to be chatty with you until after they have shown their dog!
We chose breeders who had similar life style to us - so lots of children/noise/coming and going. I think this early socialisation helped - though obviously the window of opportunity goes beyond the time you generally pick them up. If, for instance, a bit does not like children, I think it more likely the pups will pick up on that before they leave her.
The breeder should be able to tell you why they chose that dog for that bitch. That it was convenient/they owned it/their friend owns the dog isn't good. It should be 'he's very unrelated/ has a strong top line I wanted to bring in' type things - very specific reasons.
A puppy should not be immediately available. You should expect to wait months or more for a litter.
If you want a cross breed, you need to be very, very, very careful as these are the most puppy farmed. Also, if you got all the characteristics of either breed, would you be happy?
Lastly, are you sure you are ready for a puppy? They are hard, hard work and consume a huge amount of your time and energy.
Thanks everyone, really interesting!
I think we're looking for a Labrador, but we're in no rush ( aiming for Aug time) so we've got a bit of time planning!
We're a quietish family, youngest is 8, eldest 13. I don't work but may be looking for something small eventually but that is very flexible. School walk is a mile each way so ideally I'd like a dog that would enjoy coming with me! Other than that we like going for walks through woods etc at weekends and we always holiday in this country.
Make sure the mother has been vaccinated within the last year and that mother and pups have been wormed with an effective product. (pup vacc isn't as important as they will have antibodies from mum to last until you get them to the vet - usually people get them at 8 weeks and take to the vets a week after that to start vacc course). Only buy a pup that looks healthy and lively. Make sure you see the house and it looks like dogs actually live there. Make sure the pups have been socialised (living within the family environment and used to people and noises) as the first 8 weeks is a vital socialising period and if it isn't started by then it's too late and the pup will probably always be nervous.
Temperament is hereditary so look for a mother that is friendly and confident. You might not be able to see the father.
You may well need to reserve a pup in advance for popular breeders.
The hip scoring scheme doesn't necessarily translate well to actual hip problems, but try and go for a working type lab rather than a show type to minimise problems (working type usually smaller, slimmer and shorter legs).
Have fun!

No land for AIIMS-like institutions in 4 states: Nadda
New Delhi, Feb 15 (IANS) Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda said on Wednesday the government has been unable to get land in four states to set up medical facilities on the lines of the premier All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here.
He said the states were Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh and Assam.
According to the ministry, though it has identified land in Assam, an issue related to the National Green Tribunal has cropped up.

Vintage Series Barrel Aged 2012 Dancin' Monks by Aldebert's Brewery is a 9.1% ABV Belgian Dubbel Aged in oak barrels.
The Ale: A complex ale with a sour wine funk and plum fruit aroma. Pairs well with tangy cheeses, rich meats, fried foods and fruit based desserts.
The Story:
The Columbian Monks could really cut loose during the annual retreat hosted by Del at his Naivasha Lake House in Kenya. After a glass you might find yourself doing your own little happy dance.
I am familiar with Aldebert's brewery as I have tried one of their beers back in 2011 when my friend Matt had hooked me up with it long ago. This rich goodie was provided by my good friend Aaron at www.beermetaldude.com in Texas. A Texas exclusive beer but generously donated to the site for review. So it is with great pleasure and a great honor to try this limited edition vintage ale here.
Caramel, wine grapes, funky notes, oak, mild bourbon, leather, honey, chardonay, apricots, vanilla, honey, apples, brown sugar and cloves.
Caramel, plums, raisins, wine grapes, oak, vanilla, honey, wheat, funky barnyard hay, mushrooms, brettanomyces, candy sugars, tart cherry, peppercorns, apricots, sour apples, citrus, coriander, fancy cheese, bourbon, banana notes, clove spice, tangerine marmalade on rye bread and butterscotch.
A dark fruit, caramel, brown sugar aftertaste with a good amount of barnyard hay and funky wine oak notes. No alcohol in the taste but moderate to sipping drinkability on this one. While yes, it is a funky little beer, it has a smooth component too it too.
A very good dubbel and a particular style that I have not tried before. I have tried Bourbon Barrel Aged quads before but a Wine Oak Barrel aged dubbel is quite a treat and very unique. Although, this beer reminds me of the Fantome Beers of Belgium with similar flavors. They are very good and this one is just as good if not in par to those. Amazing stuff and an honor to try them.
Anime Corner:
Wang Yuanji from Dynasty Warriors was used in this beer pairing to represent the the Monk's dancing as in the beer name but also to represent the beer label's colors. The blue dress with the gold pair those colors. In the background it almost looks like Wang is dancing. Can you see any other features of this pairing that best complement?

Here are a couple of the many letters received related to this content-rich program:
Dear Dr Dee: Thank you for these wonderful experts that you bring to us to help us have a better life. I am so grateful and have learnt so much from the dating and relationship package. I never knew how to date because I married my ex-husband as a teenager. The experts showed me what I have been doing wrong. Dr. Jackie Black was just great with the dating traps, so was Dr. Erengwa; he spoke so eloquently about creating intimacy, I never knew much about intimacy and that was such a revelation. Dr. Joe Esposito made me take my health seriously. Every Speaker did a superb job. Thank you. Thank you for teaching me also how to love myself!! Wonderful package. I am thankful and very happy.
Pam from Covington. GA.
Dear Dr. Dee: I am so grateful I came across the Better Than Ever After Divorce Program! I have listened and learned so much. I learned about life visualization from Lauren DiBiase and totally connected with Antiqua Libbey's presentation. I was pretty much rock bottom, and more to the point, my daughter's suffering was devastating. I was lucky enough to buy the very affordable VIP membership, and am very glad that I did! What helped bring me back to life was the thirty minutes with you, when I felt hopeful and positive again, the impact of which I cannot describe... Maybe it was the prayer, your incredibly strong beliefs or the feeling of someone actually believing in me... Instead of lashing out, I 'looked forward'. I've sorted out many things that were causing problems, and am now taking concrete steps. Adele Theron taught me a lot with 'the 14 causes of divorce.' I began healing myself with tips from Tarnie Fullon on the mind-body relationship. All this knowledge, which I'm slowly absorbing and implementing is priceless... I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't taken the BTEAD, and received the greatest gift, the one of hope, which you gave me, Dr. Dee...would I still be in the depths of depression, or taking ACTION? Lots of love, and I pray that many other women benefit from these resources you brought to us. Thanks! Xen, from Dubai

I frequently batch cook, too. I like that you can eat something one night, and freeze the rest instead of eating the same thing 6 days in a row...

I do that myself. It helps for several nights, I freeze some of them, so that I don't have to worry about what time I get home.

We are busy ladies and let's face it we like food, especially good food. You can get boneless skinless chicken breast or tenders and marinate, grill, and have enough for these recipes. Better to cook once and eat off that one large batch several times. Helps keep your meal plan going and keeps you on track even on the busiest of days.
This is taken from Todd Wilbur book Top Secret Recipes LITE
Applebee's Low-Fat Blackened Chicken Salad
1/4 c fat-free mayonnaise
1/4 c Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard
1 T prepared mustard
1/4 c honey
1 T white vinegar
1/8 t paprika
Chicken Marinade
1 c water
4 T lime juice
2 T soy sauce
1/2 T Worcestershire Sauce
2 chicken breasts
Cajun Spice Blend
1/2 t salt
1 t sugar
1 t paprika
1 t onion powder
1 t black pepper
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t cayenne pepper
1/2 t white pepper
1/2 T butter
8 c chopped iceberg lettuce
1/2 c shredded red cabbage
1/2 c shredded carrot
1/2 c shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese
1/2 c shredded fat free cheddar cheese
1 hard boiled egg white, diced
1 large tomato diced
1. Make the dressing by first combining the mayo with the mustard in a small bow. Whisk thoroughly until the ingredients are well combined. Mix in the hone, then the vinegar and paprika. Store the dressing in a covered container in the refrigerator until the salad is ready.
2. Combine the water, lime juice, soy sauce in a medium bowl, and stir. Add the chicken fillets to the marinade, cover the bowl, and keep it in the refrigerator for several hours. Marinate the chicken overnight, if you've got the time.
3. When the chicken is well marinated, preheat a frying pan or skillet (an iron skillet if you've got it) over medium/high heat. Also preheat your barbecue gill to medium/high heat.
4. Combine the spices for the cajun spice blend in a small bowl. Sprinkle a teaspoon of the spice blend over one side of each chicken fillet. Cover the entire top surface of the chicken with an even coating of the spice blend.
5. Melt the butter in the hot pan, then sauté the chicken fillets for 2 or 3 minutes on the side with the spices. While the first side cooks, sprinkle another teaspoon of spice over the top of each chicken breast, coating that side as you did the other. Flip the chicken over, and sauté for another 2 to 3 minutes. The surface of the chicken should end up with a charred-looking black coating.
6. Finish the chicken off on your barbecue grill. Grill each brest on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes, or until done.
7. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad by splitting he lettuce into two large bowls. Toss in the red cabbage and carrots. Mix the cheeses together, then top the salad with the cheese blend and hard-boiled egg white. Sprinkle half of the diced tomato over each salad.
8 Slice the chicken breast crosswise to 1/2 inch thick pieces. Spread the chicken over the top of the salads and serve immediately with the chicken on the side.

***with this recipe you can add substitute what you like. Use whole wheat pasta, or angel hair, or any other pasta. You can half it. I think one serving is too much for one person. That is a half a pound of pasta but it would be filling with the protein and the veggies. You could sauté the veggies instead of steaming. Take a basic recipe and make it adapt to your tastes.

***again you can make these and take for your lunch just heat the chicken and add the ingredients to the bun and enjoy
If you don't have an outdoor grill an indoor one is wonderful. We use ours a lot. The George Foreman's grills are also great, as is a grill pan. You could sauté them in a skillet with Pam.
If you take the chicken breasts and place 2 in a gallon bag and pound them flat they cook very quickly. Use a meat mallet, rolling pin, or even a can of veggies to pound them out.
If you grill several pieces of chicken you can use freeze 1 or 2 pieces in small freezer bags to take down as you need them.

Tonight, my oldest daughter and I are spending quality time together around the computer. We're ordering photos from snapfish (free S&H on nine cent prints...what a deal!), updating facebook profiles, listening to music, and now blogging.
I told her I'd get off the computer and give her plenty of internet time as soon as I posted on my blog. But, I'm kind of coming up dry in the creative area so I'll be interviewing her for your reading pleasure and social edification. When titling this post, she chose to be identified as a "person". So let the person's interview begin.
Person, please tell all of us middle aged mom types what are the top things we need to do to impress our teenager and their friends with how cool we are:
1. Ummm...don't try to be cool by talking like a teenager. Don't say "like", and "you know", and "what up dudes", 'cause then you just sound stupid.
2. If you do know about popular bands, don't be going on and on about how you don't like the lyrics when your kids are with their friends. Save that for privacy. Your child will be mortified and their friends won't even listen to you.
3. Let us go in the places we want to to shop. You can give us your approval on the clothes we buy, but don't make us shop in Belks just because you think it has the raddest clothes.
4. Encourage or help us to cut or dye our hair in cool and funny ways if we want to. That will give you MAJOR points!
Okay...so here comes the scary, "let's get real" question. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the geekiest and most horrifying while 10 is the coolest and most understanding mom-to-a-teen, where do you rate me? You can be honest. I promise. I'll still let you eat my M&M's no matter what you say...though I still get all the blue and green ones.
Ummm...I'll give you an 8.
INTERRUPTION!!!! Anna just spotted a HUGE spider in my hair but she killed it. EWW-W-WWW!!!!
Okay, back to our regular programming.
Ummm...I'll give you an 8 because some of your rules I think are too uptight and maybe some opinions too strongly expressed plus you're a worry wart. Now good things, surprisingly, I don't mind that you want to marry me off to a Jonas Brother. You're not abusive. And you'll take me to rock concerts and take me in Hot Topic and let me dye my hair whatever color I want. And you don't call me a devil child because I like guys who wear guyliner. Alright, we're done.
Okay...the person has spoken. We're done!
I love that person. Sniff-sniff.

We Offer Supreme Comfort In Every Mattress Palmdale's Best Paradise Furniture
Choosing the right mattress for your bed can mean the difference between a great night's sleep and a terrible backache in the morning. A lot of consumers are often too eager to jump on low prices offered by some store, but there is a big difference between Discount mattresses and cheap Mattresses in Palmdale. Paradise Furniture is the best store to visit if you are looking for great king, queen or smaller sized mattress at a huge discount. Each of our mattresses is crafted from the highest quality foam and the sturdiest fabrics.
Even if you sleep alone, selecting the right size mattress is the best way to ensure you have enough room to sleep properly. There is a simple way to calculate which size mattress would be best for your bed, simply follow our guide for the best mattresses Paradise Furniture has to offer.
Short mattresses are very cute, but you should consider purchasing a mattress that your child can grow with. Children have a tendency to grow quickly and there would be no point in purchasing a new mattress every year to keep up with their progress. Also think about the time you may have to sleep with your child such as during illness or when they have bad dreams. Once your child graduates from the crib, a twin size mattress is the perfect choice.
This age has the most sudden growth spurts of all, if your child is on the taller side; consider getting a full size mattress that will allow them to have ample room to manage not only their growth spurts, but also for their study and video gamins sessions. Kids often head of to college, but come back during vacations so a full size will be great for guest usage when they are not home.
Typically there will be two adults in the main bedroom, the length of the mattress should always be longer that the taller of the couple and wide enough so that each person can sleep in their natural positions without touching. There should also be enough room on each side so that each person won't be in danger of falling of during the night. A queen sized mattress is best for most couples, but if you have others in your bed such as pets and small children, you may want to consider purchasing a king sized mattress for better comfort.
Regardless of the mattress size you choose, Paradise Furniture can deliver. You may view our mattresses brand and size options online and test the comfort when you come into the store. We are always here to offer you professional service, maximum quality, and variety all at a discount price. Come in today to see our selection for Mattresses Palmdale.
