we have an australian shepard mix and she loves riding in the car aka going bye-bye.
I own an 11 year old collie mix named Stella. She joined our family when she was 8 weeks old. My husband and I were celebrating our first wedding anniversary, and went to the mall to purchase a vacuum. On our way to Sears, we passed a pet store featuring rescued puppies up for adoption. A puppy was not part of our plan, not even on the radar. She had been clearanced out from $49.95 to $39.95 (no joke) and was very sickly. My husband immediately felt in love with her and we left the mall with way more than we'd bargained for that day, haha. Several hundred dollars in vet bills later and she was healthy as a horse. She's been a very valued family member, at one point even chasing a lurking intruder away from my little girls' bedroom window in the middle of the night (terrifying!!!). She's now arthritic and diabetic and feeling pretty rough. We have two new puppies joining our household in a month, but Stella will always be the world's best family dog EVER.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful story, Megan! That's just wonderful that you were able to provide her with such a happy home.
My toy chihuahua biscuit got outside and we couldn't find him for 3 hours. When we did find him he was a sleep in my husbands size 14 shoes on the porch lol.
We just adopted a rescue Maltie Poo 2 weeks ago, she's just 6 pounds and we adore her!
My pup is a Vizsla/Pointer mix. We are working on catching (and bringing back) the Frisbee!
We adopted Dumpling in January from a local shelter. He is a shih tzu mix and is almost 2 years old.
we have a 5 month old female jack russell terrier..she is so spoiled!
I love terrier mix puppies!!
I always remind people NOT to purchase on dog on impulse, and I had never done so, always have planned ahead….but our current adorable puppy we got from a rescue who was set up outside our local Petsmart one day when we happened to stop by. She was irresistible!
I like brown lab
We have a 11/2 yr old mixed breed dog. He is beagle, hound and a whole lot of unknown. lol
my "cousins" are a pair of pugs
I have been wanting a puppy so bad for months now but my boyfriend and I live in an apartment and can't have one right now. But we are moving after he graduates in June and I am so looking forward to finally getting a fur baby of my own!
We're hopefully getting a golden-doodle soon!
I love German Shepherd, Akita and Labrador.
Thanks for the chance! -
I hope to get an aussie pup soon and this would be awesome to have!
My mom's dog likes to sit on the couch like a human (upright and everything) and fall asleep. Well one time we took a picture of him and and put it side by side with a picture of my dad sleeping on the couch the same way. We glued them together and on the bottom we wrote "Like owner, like dog". It was the cutest thing ever to us for some reason. I think we still have that picture somewhere lol
I want another mastiff!
I have a schnoodle and he is the cutest thing! I always wanted a Yorkie!

Colonel Johann Rall was the commander of the three Hessian regiments that had occupied Trenton, New Jersey in December of 1776. General George Washington had the town surrounded and artillery positioned at the two main streets. By the time Rall's adjutant heard what was happening and woke Rall up, the Battle of Trenton was well underway.
With Major General Nathanael Greene driving the Hessians south from their outpost, and Major General John Sullivan advancing north from Assunpink Creek, the Hessians were being forced into the center of Trenton, towards the artillery forces of Brigadier General Henry Knox.
Rall's regiment was sent to the south end of King Street, where they were joined by the Lossberg regiment. A third regiment, the Knyphausen, took over the south end of Queen Street. Rall ordered all regiments to advance north to take out the artillery of the Continental Army. As that was happening, fifty Jagers,a German light force infantry under the command of Lieutenant von Grothausen, were stationed at the Hermitage. When von Grothausen saw a small advance force coming to the Hermitage, he ordered twelve Jagers to attack -- however, when he next saw a full column of American soldiers coming up behind their advance force, von Grothausen ordered a retreat and all fifty Jagers tried to escape.
As Rall's regiments advanced north towards the artillery they were caught up in gunfire from American soldiers who had been placed in houses along the street. The Hessians broke rank and most of them fled. Rall sent in a cannon to take on the American artillery, yet after a few rounds of fire, half of the Hessians left in the battle were dead from the American cannon. More Hessians fled and their cannon was taken by the Americans, who were advancing further down King Street.
Attempts by the Hessians to advance up Queen Street failed when they were turned back by the guns of Thomas Forrest and his men. During the volley of rounds and surprise attacks from houses, the Knyphausen Regiment somehow were separated from the other two Hessian regiments. The Rall and Lossberg Regiments retreated to a field south of the town, where they received heavy losses.
Sullivan's regiment had overwhelmed the Hessians in the southern part of town, as John Stark and his men charged the Knyphausen regiment with only bayonets. Resistance of the Knyphausen regiment was broken down when none of their weapons would fire. Sullivan then blocked off Hessian troops from escaping across Assunpink Creek.
After the heavy losses in the field, Rall ordered and forward advance towards Washington and his flank up on higher ground. As they advanced up King Street, fire opened upon them from houses where American soldiers and civilians had taken defensive positions. Rall and his men did not lose their spirit and pushed through, recapturing their cannon. Knox sent out soldiers to retake the cannon from Rall's men, which they succeeded in doing. The cannon was turned on the Hessians and Rall was mortally wounded.
The Hessians retreated into the nearby orchard, with Washington and his flank in hot pursuit. As they were surrounded, the Hessians surrendered to the Americans. At just about the same time, in the south of town, the Knyphausen Regiment were defeated by Sullivan's regiment and surrendered.
From the time the first shot was fired at the cooper shop,
less than four hours had passed. The battle was over and by twelve noon Washington and his regiments were back across the Delaware River, back to Pennsylvania. All four colonels of the Hessian regiments had been killed in action. The Americans took 896 Hessians captive. Twenty-two Hessians died in battle and eighty-three had been wounded. The Americans had two fatalities and five injuries during battle -- due to exposure to the bitter cold, illness and sheer exhaustion, they lost many more in the days following the battle.
It was not till after the battle that Washington realized the other two regiments led by Cadwalader and Ewing had not been able to cross the Delaware River. He was now unable to attack Princeton and New Brunswick as originally planned.
The victory at the Battle of Trenton was a decisive factor in raising the morale of the Continental Army troops, encouraged more civilians to enlist, and raised the hopes and determination of the colonists to win their freedom.
At "Five Points" in Trenton, New Jersey, there stands the Trenton Battle Monument as a tribute to this American victory.

When Everyone Has a Cloud
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The history of technology will record this as the third year of the cloud era, which is why I'll spend next week at the Red Hat Summit in Boston, learning about what's new in the clouds.
The idea of the cloud has triumphed across the industry. Every major vendor has a cloud strategy. Data centers are going up as fast as fiber lines were buried back in the 1990s. Despite a gradual falling to Earth among vendors like Red Hat (RHT) and VMWare (VMW), caused by growing competition, this remains a boom time for cloud.
However few have stopped to consider the implications. What does it mean for business when everyone has a cloud?
- You need fewer local resources. Storage is no longer done locally and most database processing is off-loaded as well.
- Big jobs are done fast. Back in the late 20th century there was a project called Seti @ Home, which offered users screen-savers behind which their CPUs analyzed data sets from radio telescopes. That was "distributed computing," a standard feature of the cloud.
- Computing can become ubiquitous. Chip companies seeking new markets will now put networked intelligence into everything you buy.
- Orwellian fears will grow. Having networked intelligence everywhere leads some to demand absolute security and others absolute privacy, a false choice that becomes increasingly political over time.
These are the obvious choices, but what are the investment choices?
- Our local computing environment becomes more Apple (AAPL)-like, more tied to devices, less wired.
- Facebook (FB) and Google (GOOG) are both services. Services become more central than products such as those from Microsoft (MSFT).
- Density will grow. As our world becomes more virtual our desire for human contact will increase. Cities gain over suburbs. The development model becomes the university campus, not the skyscraper village. As services like Amazon.com (AMZN) make shopping and consuming more virtual, this becomes more obvious.
- Change will accelerate. Breakthroughs happen even faster. Problems that once seemed intractable, like energy, suddenly become soluble.

Freight TSI rises in July
Sep 10, 2008 3:27 PM
The Freight Transportation Services Index (TSI) rose 1.2 percent in July from its June level, rising for the fourth consecutive month, the Department of Transportations Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported.
The freight TSI measures the month-to-month changes in the output of services provided by the for-hire freight transportation industries. The index consists of data from for-hire trucking, rail, inland waterways, pipelines, and air freight. It is a seasonally adjusted index that measures changes from the monthly average of the base year of 2000. It includes historic data from 1990 to the present.
For the first seven months of 2008, the freight index advanced 4.2 percent, its largest increase for the first seven months of the year since 2002. In 2007, the index dropped 0.4 percent in the first seven months of the year.
The freight index has increased in six of the first seven months this year, declining only in March. The April index, previously reported as unchanged from March, now shows a 1 percent rise as a result of this months downward revision of the March index described below. At 112.9 in July, the freight TSI was up 4.5 percent since its recent low of 108.0 in September 2007 and almost reached its historic peak of 113.1 reached in November 2005.
The July 2008 freight TSI level was 4.1 percent above the July 2007 level of 108.4, the largest July-to-July gain since 2004. Despite the modest gains since 2004, the freight index has increased 8.5 percent in five years and 11.6 percent in 10 years.

Three brothers - a businessman, a teacher and a lawyer turned artist - return home to the coal mining community of their childhood for their parents' 40th wedding anniversary. Each of them has been transformed, through a university education and professional success. A taut, vivid story, this is one of the great social plays of the 1960s, depicting the tensions between a father and his sons who no longer share the language to talk to one another.
Our Review:
17 July 2007
In making his stage debut as the youngest of three brothers returning home to Yorkshire for their parents� fortieth wedding anniversary, Orlando Bloom exhibits a faultless modesty. His character Steven, a discouraged teacher, stuttering novelist and father of four, is a silent, moody introvert. He says very little and rarely commands the stage. He succumbs to a little light weeping, but does that in the safety of the darkness.
Unfortunately, Bloom, suitably expressionless as the blond, bland elf archer Legolas in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, does not convey the swirls and eddies of emotional crisis that the David Storey role demands. Acting is more than words. And in his brown clothes, trim moustache and self-effacing stance, Bloom remains a wallflower at his own party.
In Celebration (1969) is one of five plays Storey had produced � all directed by the Lindsay Anderson � at the Royal Court in an astonishing four-year burst. All tra...
Latest User Review
Irene - 18 September 2007:
I saw this play in its last week. I enjoyed the staging and thought all the actors did a great job. I found the first half the most interesting with the gradually emerging family secrets/problems. It was frustrating that these were never fully uncovered in the second half and that there was no resolution at the end - I suppose this reflects reality where issues often fester under the surface and cannot be easily resolved. I didn't hang around afterwards as there already seemed to be a sizeable crowd waiting for Orlando Bloom. I did hear, however, that things got rather out of hand (on the final Saturday night) including bottles being thrown by passing drunks which led to Orlando's autograph signing session being cut short by security staff. Fortunately it appears that no-one was hurt but what a sad ending for any waiting fans who missed their chance to meet Orlando due to the local louts....

Series: The Mission of Jesus (Luke)
Category: Holiness, Sin, Spiritual Warfare
Speaker: Tanner Turley
Passage: Luke 3:21-4:13
Summary: "You are being tempted right now, and so am I." These are the words of Russ Moore, and they sound a call to understand how temptation works and how we can triumph over it in Christ. Our triumph will only be found in Jesus, the true and better Adam, the true and better Israel.
Category: Christian Life, Repentance
Summary: You may have had a productive week at work or at home, but can you say the same for your spiritual life. How can we be spiritually productive? John the Baptist gives a clear answer: "Bear fruits in keeping with repentance."
Category: Incarnation
Passage: Luke 2:1-38
Summary: The Son of God, Jesus Christ, invaded human history, so that our lives might be invaded by his peace. He was appointed for the rise and fall of many. See the humility and glory of Christ, and embrace the peace he came to bring.
Category: Incarnation, Kingdom of God, Salvation
Passage: Luke 1:5-80
Summary: Luke gives his readers an unbelievable preview of the coming Messiah. In Luke 1:5-80, we discover much about the person of Christ and the great work of salvation he brings. Like a good movie preview, Luke leaves us longing to see more.
Category: Jesus Christ
Passage: Luke 1:1-4
Summary: Jesus came to this earth on a mission. His mission was to bring salvation to all people. Listen to this introductory sermon on the Gospel of Luke that covers the prologue and what many to believe the key verse of the gospel, Luke 19:10.
Series: Worthy: A Series on Worship
Category: Worship, Mission
Passage: Acts 17:16-34
Summary: John Piper says, "Missions exists because worship doesn't." This is exactly we see with Paul in Athens in Acts 17:16-34. His jealousy for God's glory moved him to a clear and contextual witness to Christ. What's the point for us? The desire for God to be worshiped should fuel our mission to make God known.
Category: Worship, Gospel, Christian Life
Speaker: Jon Chasteen
Passage: Romans 12:1-2
Summary: Worship is what we do on Sundays... right? Think again. All of life is worship and to be lived in response to the gospel.
Category: Jesus Christ, Worship
Passage: Revelation 5
Summary: Revelation 5 teaches us that the matchless worth of Christ summons our unrestrained worship. When we perceive the glory of Christ and prize him above all else, we will pursue him with great intensity and worship.
Series: Miscellaneous Sermons
Category: God
Speaker: Dane Helsing
Passage: Psalm 131
Summary: Psalm 131 is a short Psalm with a great message about a big God. Guest Preacher Dane Helsing, Associate Pastor at Hope Fellowship Church (Cambridge, MA), addresses what it looks like for us to "Let God Be God"
Category: Suffering, God
Passage: Habakkuk 3:16-19
Summary: How should we respond when the circumstances of life press in on us? The book of Habakkuk teaches us that an ultra clear vision of God will help us navigate life's greatest trials. Because God is present, sovereign, good, and powerful, we can rise above the circumstances.

We're sorry
McLaren admit Button cock-up
JENSON BUTTON has been given an apology by his bungling McLaren team after they admitted making a gaffe at the Canadian Grand Prix.
The Brit was unable to repeat his victory in 2011 due to a string of mechanical issues and also complained the set-up of his car was not right.
While the team were not at fault for the gearbox problem that robbed him of time during Friday's practice, they have admitted they got it wrong with the balance of his motor.
But team boss Martin Whitmarsh is confident they have now ironed out those issues ahead of Sunday's European Grand Prix in Valencia, Spain.
Whitmarsh said: "I think, personally, we didn't give Jenson the right car.
"It was damaging to the rear tyres — and these are fragile.
"He's an individual who we know can look after his tyres, so the fact he was having such difficulty with the rear tyres tells me he had a different suspension geometry and set-up.
"If we had a long run on Friday we might have learned much more.
"We didn't, we found out in the race — which was too late."
F1 and sportscar star Karun Chandhok is our special guest previewing Valencia
Whitmarsh has rejected suggestions that Button is to blame for his poor form, which has seen him finish in the points just once in his last four races — and that was ninth in Barcelona.
And he insists the 32-year-old still has the hunger and skill to challenge for his second drivers' title.
He added: "I don't think he needs to win in Valencia but he needs to be up there and competitive in the next few races.
"Jenson gave a commanding performance only seven races ago where he won and dominated the Australian GP.
"His talents, his appetite for winning, and his competitiveness haven't evaporated in that short period of time — he still has all of that.
"I'm confident that after working with his engineers, he can arrive in Valencia with no reason why he can't win that race.
"He still has the skill and all the attributes plus he has been racing a good many years.
"Jenson has had ups and downs in his career and I know he is confident in his ability to work with his engineers to be competitive at the next race."

Animal Shelter Price Tag Concerns Councilor
Jay DiLisio says he supports the construction of a new shelter, but he would like more information on why the project is expected to cost more than originally thought.
The City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved the first step toward building a new animal shelter in Attleboro, but the decision came with a comment of caution from one councilor.
Jay DiLisio said he was concerned about the recent revelation that construction of the 3,600-square-foot building is expected to cost in excess of $1 million, despite city officials' original forecast that the price tag would be between $600,000 and $700,000.
"I just want to see where we overshot so badly, what was behind it," DiLisio said.
Building Commission Chair Jack Jacobi broke the news to the council at its meeting last week. He said the commission learned of the price hike after interviewing three potential architects who said in separate conversations that it would cost $295 to $300 per square foot to build the shelter. He said municipal building projects usually cost about $200 per square foot.
"In no way am I taking away my support for this project," said DiLisio, who commented that the current shelter was in a deplorable condition and a new one must be built. "I just want to make sure that we're doing what we need to do to make sure we are being, as we've said so many times, the stewards of the funds of the city."
Mayor Kevin Dumas wrote in his proposed budget that he would make a request during the 2012-13 fiscal year to borrow money to fund the project.
The council voted on Tuesday to spend $50,000 to design the shelter. The firm selected to create the design is Connecticut-based Design Learned, which specializes in animal facility engineering.
No other councilor made a comment about the vote.
The current shelter has been in use since 1980. Many people say it is too small and inadequate for proper animal care. Jacobi told the council last week that if all goes well, the new facility could open next summer.

The current Animal Shelter is an embarrassment to the citizens of Attleboro. We don't simply want a new Animal Shelter; we NEED a new Animal Shelter. If the Building Commission underestimated the cost to begin with, please do not punish the bad calculations by denying us the Shelter that has been promised my the Mayor and was a campaign promise of the majority of the Councilors.
I invite anyone to drop into the current Animal Shelter and judge for yourself if a new shelter is warrented. The Shelter is located at 1 N Pond Street on the Seekonk border next to the Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Shelter is open on Wednesdays from 6-8pm, Saturdays from 11am-3pm & Sundays from 11am to 1pm.
You can also learn more information about all of the good work that the shelter is doing at: www.faaspets.org
Please, do not let the mistake of an individual or a small set of individuals derail the progress desired by thousands. This is the animals moment to have a facility that is adequate for their needs. We must all band together to support the new Animal Shelter.

1. Councilor Stop flip flopping and trying to make everyone like you. Not everyone needs to like Jay. You don't want to offend the animal lovers and you don't want to offend fiscally responsible voters either. Well pick a side and stick to it! watching you flounder is uncomfortable.
2. Think about why the building commission made such a point to highlight the cost......give up....it came from the corner office so he can have an out to not build it....can hear it now..."So sorry it just cost too much and we cannot afford it"
3. Put a long term perminent trailer for an office/ storage
4. Make it a Kill Shelter. how many pitbulls do you really need to save?

So, it's going to cost a solid $300K MORE than the original estimate of about $650K.
That's a solid 46% more. Would a winning contractor win a bid for a job by being off so much? Not a chance.
The real test as to whether a city councilor is seriously concerned about City spending is to vote "No" on this over-priced turkey. I blame J. Jacobi, the
buddy of K. D..
The only way to fairly pony up more than a half-a-million for this boondoggle
is to impose a special excise tax on pet food. Raffles and bake sales are not
gonna do it.

Most people probably wont remember this, but I do.
When Judy Robbins was Mayor, there was a decision to build a new animal shelter - supposedly. Some of us cared a lot about this, but were cautiously optimistic. The council was given a price to build a new shelter and things seemed to be moving along. At the last minute. the same Jack Jacobi appeared at a council meeting to tell us "Whoops" - the price has suddenly doubled. Take from this what you will. I will never forget it. Needless to say, the plans were cancelled.
Had things been done the way they should have been done back then, we would not now need to spend a million dollars, which is well within the ballpark of new facility, today.
The animal shelter is a city department and deserves the same respect as any other department. In fact, it probably gets more foot traffic from our residents than any other department. The people of this city made a decision many years ago to support a humane and sanitary shelter. The outpouring of support by Attleboro residents has remained steadfast.
Our present shelter certainly is not lacking in care for our homeless animals, but it is not safe and cant not even comply with todays quarantine statutes, which are handed down by state law.
I am proud to be a supporter of this project and feel confident that this Mayor will not reneg on his promise to take another step towards bringing Attleboro into this century - finally.

Roxanne is right on point with this! I would have liked to agree with Henry but after reading number 4, I cannot, but I will agree with his 1-3 statements. Let's not point the finger at a specific breed -- that is unjust. This shelter is needed and this city wastes more money then it can throw a stick at. i.e. when Mayor Kevin spent a boat-load of money planting trees up and down Maple Street and the east side. Did we really NEED that? We NEED this facility. Putting together meaningless committees and commission to be self-serving. Another waste of money. And yes, Jay, stop flip flopping -- it makes you look bad!!
city watcher
9:13 am on Friday, June 22, 2012
is the "east side" as you know it not worth spending the money on? I walk those streets 3-4 times a week and love the smell of the blossoms when they are in full bloom. Us folks on the east side deserve some beautifcation as well. If I remember correctly, it wasn't "Mayor Kevin's" money or the taxpayer's money, it was paid for by grants. And for the record, I'm with you on Henry's #4 comment. Disgraceful.

I like cats & dogs but a million bucks is way too much for stray mutts & feral felines.
1:08 pm on Tuesday, June 26, 2012
Apparently you really don't like cats & dogs or you would never have made such a horrible statement! Most of those stray & feral animals that you refer to are out wandering the streets because of some irresponsible person who never spayed or neutered them or just got tired of taking care of them and let them go. A proper shelter is the least that they deserve!
9:19 am on Friday, June 22, 2012
City Watcher, for the record, grants come from taxpayer money.
city watcher
9:25 am on Friday, June 22, 2012
agreed Paul. But the types of grant money used to beautify the city can not be used to build an animal shelter. If they are not used what they are earmarked for, they are lost.
12:26 pm on Friday, June 22, 2012
Grants are available for shelters. The city is successful obtaining grants for other capital projects, perhaps they could redirect their grant writing skills towards the shelter. While these may not provide a significant portion of the cost they would cut down the cost.

I'm all for a new shelter,but that price sounds outrageous.Think about it,300K will get you a nice new construction home with a 2 car garage, Subtract at least 100K for the lot (we already have that),kitchen and other amenities we don't need. Make the Garage and the cellar into the quarantine and other special rooms we need,the living room and kitchen areas would make a great space for reception and visiting. Plenty of yard for kennels, rooms for storage and office space. Throw in another 400K for fixtures and "specialized matters" and we are still under the original estimate.
Kim Penque
8:24 pm on Friday, June 22, 2012
Steven are you serious? Oh wait you must be serious because this is on the internet! First of all let me state construction of a new home is no comparison to the construction of a new Shelter. My husband who is a Builder has never had to build a home with proper means to maintain disease control, never had to build a home with animal behavior in mind, he has never had to build a home with dual air ventilation systems....you know why? Because a home is nothing like a shelter...although we may call it a temporary home for our animals (maybe that is where you are getting confused??) it is no comparison at all....but thanks for the brainstorming! We are partnering with the city and this will happen :)
4:53 pm on Friday, June 22, 2012
I do belive the animals need a better place...what bothers me is there are 3x more shelters for animals than people in the US...we need some of this passion to help our hungry neighbors who may be in trouble as well.................

Kim and others:
Thank you for your calm voice of reason as you speak reason to those who are sputtering their discontent. We appreciate your steady, strong advocacy for animals. We in Attleboro have neglected our responsibility for far too long. And it is a responsibility we've ducked for far to long, to provide a decent shelter that people will want to go to to find a pet for their family.
For years Attleboro residents had no place to take lost cats, or if you found one, you had to find a home on your own. I know, I did that for years. This was long after other shelters in the area took in cats. They are not 'feral' or 'strays,' they are lost and/or abandoned.
Most of the critics of this proposal are longtime critics of spending money on anything. This is necessary. Shame on us all if we don't get this built NOW. And shame on those who write just to make political hay and to spread their negativity.
Now is the time to move forward.
4:00 pm on Tuesday, June 26, 2012
I will never understand why every town that needs a building feels like they have to re-invent the wheel. I'm all for a new shelter. Here's a thought; find a comparably sized town that has built one recently, and see how they like it. Buy the design from their archy. Tweak the things that the town might have found don't work well. Why a start-from-scratch design for anything?!?! Town Halls, police stations, schools, Fire stations, animal shelters..... Ridiculous to me that a plan can't be found that fits Attleboro for faaaar less $. And Steven... Fact of the matter... Take that 300k house and make it ADA legal (Have to by law) Pay prevailing wage (Have to by law) Shelter still needs a kitchen, to prep food and meds etc, for sick animals. Also, it isn't just stray mutts and feral cats, it could be your dog that gets loose and gets picked up. I'd like for my dog to go someplace clean and safe if that happens, until I pick her up.
5:46 pm on Tuesday, June 26, 2012
When a dog gets loose, it's a stray. I have been to the Pond Street facility, it's old. A million bucks is way too much! How about people that have no animals, should their taxes go up? All you animal lovers think that because someone is against this plan they hate animals, not so. People don't want to pay more taxes, period. If you love your dogs so much don't let them loose. Fix up the old shelter!
Gretchen Robinson
6:18 pm on Tuesday, June 26, 2012
Ah the libertarian argument, people without pets shouldn't have to pay for an animal shelter. Next it will be, people without children shouldn't have to pay for other people's kids to go to public schools. In this case, it's "Don't use my tax money for an animal shelter." There's a social contract that says, we are responsible for pets who need human care. It's the humane thing to do.
Dogs get loose, yes. The shelter serves as a central location to take a dog or cat too. Most of the animals I've re-homed on my own were cats (and one dog) that people dumped. Or let out and didn't care if they found their way back home. That's irresponsible, of course, and they are legally liable if located.
Fix up the old shelter? are you kidding? This is a big city now and this isn't 1950. Are we so poor that we can't have a decent shelter? One worthy of the many volunteers and staff to work in? (or would you have them keep volunteering at a criminally cramped and substandard building)? How about a shelter where people will want to go to in order to choose their new pet? (Which means handicapped accessible, well designed and planned.
$1,000,000 is not too much. Have you researched how much a decent (not a fancy) shelter costs??? I haven't either, but I will. Will you?
Gretchen Robinson
6:21 pm on Tuesday, June 26, 2012
Since the City owns the land, we're ahead of the game. Oh and by the way, the City needs a dog park. When is that going to happen?
Jerry Chase
12:45 am on Saturday, June 30, 2012
What was the number of school children from homeless families in Attleboro recently quoted in The Sun Chronicle? Around 114, 120, maybe. It was well over 100.
And the free-spenders want to spend a solid million bucks for stray / dumped animals. It's altogether too easy to dump 'em. I say tax pet foods.
Jerry Chase
1:55 pm on Monday, July 23, 2012
Anybody want to bet that while Councilor DiLisio remains "concerned" about the cost of a new animal shelter, he won't be so 'concerned' that he'll vote "No".
Richard W. Lunt
2:29 pm on Monday, July 23, 2012
I honestly believe that Councilor Jay DiLisio is doing the right thing, he's looking out for our taxpayer dollars. The new animal shelter is a great idea for Attleboro and I support it; however, if the original cost was between $600,000 to $700,000 and was revised to be in excess of $1 million I would and I do question why the increase in costs. Councilor DiLisio is doing his a job as a City Councilor. Give the guy a break people!!!
Jerry Chase
3:48 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Yes, at least Jay had the courage to speak. But when the chips are down, as they will be on Tues., Jan. 22nd, the very safe bet is that few, if any councilors, have the courage to vote "no". Those who own doggies should pay, not non-owners. Dogs do not have rights----only humans do. But many humans will not vote "no", so
everyone will pay: even non-owners of dogs. "Those who bark should pay for the park."
Attleboro Resident
4:02 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Hi Jerry - just to clarify, this is an animal shelter, not a dog park. I don't know if that changes your views or not on the fact that only dogs owners should pay. That raises a question if you do believe that, why don't I have a choice on where my tax dollars go? I do not have kids (or haven't lived here all my life), so why should my tax dollars go towards schools? I have no problem in the fact that we are investing in schools, but that is just a comparison to your statement above.
Jerry Chase
4:17 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Thank you for that appropriate distinction: it was my error in forgetting that detail.
Gretchen Robinson
10:10 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Jerry, I think you are barking up the wrong tree. It took courage to vote 'yes.' It would be easy to harden one's heart and vote 'no.' The Councilors took a leap of faith --for the future - both for families who will now be better able to adopt without being in a cramped noisy shelter.
Instead preadoptive families will have a private room to go to in order to get acquainted and be better able to make a good decision. A new shelter will be better for staff and volunteers who won't have to cope with an inadequate shelter, day in and day out. Their commitment is extraordinary. Their enthusiasm and energy had infused the whole City.
I think it will be a point of pride for our City. And deservedly so. There is a huge portion of the City that wants to see lost and abandoned animals cared for. This shelter has been delayed for so long that just about everyone I talk to is in favor of it and sees the need for it.
This is an investment in the future. Esp. with the dog park next door for the dogs with owners who bring them to run. Families who are considering a pet will see the dogs running and romping and get a sense of how much fun having a pet can be. It's a happy occasion. Please don't rain on any more parades.
Attleboro Resident
4:27 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Ok no worries, I just wanted to make sure it was clarified that the dog park that is being built was funded all by donations.

I've reviewed several sets of Bluetooth earbuds. With each one, there are things I would change about the design. On some, the buds are huge. Others forgo the massive bud size in exchange for a remote/receiver that needs to be "worn." Why can't someone just build a set of BT earbuds that look and feel like wired buds? is the question I find myself asking with each new headset.
Then I got my hands (and ears) on the Plantronics BackBeat GO. Without giving too much away up front, this headset is a breath of fresh air in a market filled with "I guess I can make these work" solutions.

I have been a long time customer for MPS and I want to thank everyone for the hard work and dedication to provide customers with the best service possible. I would also like to thank Adam for the prompt call backs and keeping me updated on my purchase. Thus making my experience an awesome one!
I have recently purchased a new bike from Motor City and I want to thank ALL your staff for the hard work and dedication to quality customer service!
First rate service and staff willing to help. Special thanks to Lix for making sure everything suited up just right. Thanks again!
We came in to purchase a helmet for my son. Soon we were greeted by Linda. She was attentive and professional to me, but even more so to my son. After all, he was the reason why we were there. Parts counter personnel were also attentive to my needs. Parts ready for pickup a few days later as promised. A great business experience!
I enjoy coming in to your shop. Liz is great at helping out with helmet fits and boots too. The parts guys get backed up pretty easy but that is the nature of technical sales, you gotta get the right part for the customer or they're not going to be happy. Please work on phone procedures, I have been inadvertently disconnected at least 3 times in the last year. Not a big deal but you lose sales that way.
Liz is always helping to me when I come to your shop! Thank you for helping me out with my purchase that day! There are many dealerships around but I prefer you guys. I always feel like first class treatment here with motor city sports. Thank you
I love my new pink motorcycle jacket, they had a great selection so I came in here refered by a friend. They had so many to see it was almost impossible to pick one. Iâ??ll come by soon to get another one. Thanks
I just purchased an ATV from Motor City Power Sports and all of the accessories. It was a great experience and they even helped instruct on safety for my two boys. Thanks!
They are really the best in the Power Sports industry. I know I can always find whatever I am looking for here! Thank you!
I recently purchased an ATV from Motor City Power Sports and it was a very smooth transaction and I love my new toy! I would definitely recommend them in a second!

MS Treatment Options
Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, is an incurable condition of the central nervous system that adversely affects the sensory information system between the brain, spinal cord, and the optic nerves, and which consequently causes the weakening of muscles in the arms and legs, and making it difficult for coordination and balance. Since it is incurable, MS can only be treated either by drug therapy, which alleviates particular symptoms, minimizes the periods of attacks, and delays the advancement of the condition, or; by alternative therapies to control the symptoms. MS symptoms usually manifest in color blindness, blindness in one eye, or hazy vision. In severe cases, however, the symptoms may even result to complete paralysis, speech problem, and dizziness.
The drugs used for treatment depend largely on the type or classification of multiple sclerosis the person has, although there could be other factors for administering such drugs. Drug treatments may be administered through injection, which means either inserting the medication subcutaneously, or introducing it intramuscularly. This type of drug treatment is called immunotherapy. Immunotherapy drugs, which are prescribed for those having the Relapsing-Remitting type of MS, cut down on the frequency and severity of MS attacks, and therefore affecting only minimal damage to the myelin sheaths. Examples of immunotherapy drugs are interferons and copaxone, among others.
In addition, MS drug treatment can also be given intravenously through infusion, or orally. These corticosteroids medication decrease the periods of multiple sclerosis bouts.
MS patients have to be aware, however, that just like any other medications, opting for drug therapy has its accompanying side effects, like drowsiness, gastrointestinal disturbance, fluid retention, swelling, flu-like symptoms, mood swings, and skin irritation at the infection site. It is advisable for them, therefore, to consult and discuss with their doctor should they encounter any of these signs or experience any discomfort while under drug therapy.
MS Treatment Options
On the other hand, there are a number of proven alternative therapies that can help alleviate multiple sclerosis conditions, including: acupuncture, chiropractic, biofeedback therapy, hypnosis, massage, meditation, relaxation techniques, tai chi, and yoga. Acupuncture, a popular element in traditional Chinese medicine, has become a popular therapy to alleviate multiple sclerosis symptoms. It is even proven to balance the sensory information between the brain and the body since acupuncture has the capacity to release endorphins and peptides in the brain.
Moreover, through constant studies, it has been found that chiropractic therapy can also help alleviate the pain of MS sufferers since it focuses on the adjustment of the spine and neck to provide relief. Therefore, if an MS patient suffers from spine and leg pains, he can benefit from chiropractic therapy.
Multiple sclerosis is an auto-immune condition, and therefore, anything that can boost the body's natural immunity is helpful. One way of increasing the body's immunity is through exercise. That is why it is no surprise why the Multiple Sclerosis Society points out that those MS patients, who stay inactive consequently allow their muscles to weaken more and develop soreness more than those who engage themselves in exercise programs. Likewise, the National Institutes of Health even propose that MS patients avail of physical and occupational therapies to help them control their symptoms, as professionals in these fields can advise appropriate exercise programs and design necessary adjustments to make their daily routines manageable.
Another essential element that MS patients should watch out for is their core body temperature, which should be kept cool as much as possible to avoid relapses in the future. It is advisable that MS sufferer speak to their doctor on using available MS treatment options.

Govistics Unlocks Crime, Payroll Data
Posted by in NotesGovistics fans, rejoice! And those of you who haven't signed up yet, you now have a laundry list of reasons to change your minds.
As of last week, Govistics' tech and data master, Mike Silva, has officially upgraded the database with the following improvements:
- FBI Unified Crime Reports data for all municipalities reporting public safety information to the FBI
- A new year of spending, revenue, and employment data for municipalities
- Total payroll dollar figures (great to compare with employment counts) for municipalities
The database will also be more user-friendly, as what formerly took the form of "elevator buttons" to scroll through menu options have been replaced with drop-down menus. We made that change based on user feedback, so please be in touch with us by email at email@example.com or email@example.com with questions or concerns.
Also, did we mention that you can now access all county data (every county in the U.S.A.!) at the Pro-level for free? We hope that you'll test-drive the database at the county level, see how valuable Govistics can be for your research, and stick with us.
Keep in touch with Govistics on Twitter and Facebook for more updates and relevant news headlines, and thanks for checking in!

I love Revlon lipbutters, and I am so happy that I was recommended these, but I definitely did not like Cotton Candy.
Perhaps others can get a better, more natural sheer pink tint, but this shade was a full-out white-hot pink. It seriously looked like the baby pink Snookilicious lipstick (not that I have purchased that lipstick, but just from what I have seen in pictures), but even more white and unnatural. The sheer tone just came out too white on me. However, I also have full lips, so this probably looks more natural on someone with narrower lips.
This was just my experience and lip colors work very differently on each individual, so perhaps this color will look great on others.
Anyway, I also agree with another reviewer that I would instead purchase Berry Smoothie! A more pretty and natural pink tone! Seriously, just go with Berry Smoothie and don't bother with Cotton Candy.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love this color! I usually never end up liking drug store items unless its mascara or Essie polish, and was pleasantly surprised with the lip butter in cotton candy. It is an adorable shae of light bubble gum pink, goes on smoothly, feels good on the lips. I added a dab of light pink gloss and it made it look even better. Great color, not too light or bright, would definitely re-purchase.
I love this shade. It looks good with my skin tone and it looks very natural on me. It is very smooth on my lips and I definately will be purchasing it again!
I love this color, it looks good with everything. It reminds me of the lip butter form of mac pink nouveau....so beautiful!
Love it! I have almost used all of it up it's a very pretty color I have to admit when I first went to use it I was kinda worried it was going to be to dark of a pink it's not it's probably one of the best pink lip products I own, I think it would really work for anyone, I would repurchase.
I LOVE IT!!! Especially in winter, my lips are dry so it really moisturizes them and gives a pinky glow! I've had a lot of compliments and it's very nice for everyday. I also think that you have to pink the right color for you because not every color goes with everyone!
I like the feel of this since I'm pretty much a vaseline-or-bust on my lips kind of girl (I reviewed two other lip products I wear, which are Colour Caresse which is similar and Lip Perfection, which is more thick but too good to pass). I agree with Sparkly about the packaging and though it is kind of too fake pink and a little too white in the base to be perfect, personally, I feel it's light and definitely makes your lips feel really nice. It is pretty much a tinted moisturizer, which is what I thought it was, but it does have some staying power (not like a real lipstick though). I like that the top has a window in it, so you can sort of see what you are getting. This particular color I picked after looking and guessing and it's the only one I have, so I don't think out of the whole collection it's the best for me, but I love the way the product feels and I would try another variation, maybe one over to be less 'sugary'.
Cotton Candy is one of my four Revlon Lip Butters (I originally bought "Berry Smoothie," which I love, and went back and bought three more.) I really love the texture of these butters compared to a regular lipstick because they are so moisturizing! All of the colors offered seem to be very wearable.
1. I love the packaging of these butters! They are absolutely adorable, with a removable cap that has the Colorstay quilt pattern on the front and back and changes color according to the product. The lipstick twists out.
2. The product stays on for a pretty good amount of time (I got a good 45 minutes the last time I attempted to keep track, with minimal eating and drinking.)
3. Very well pigmented!
1. This color is very much a "fake pink"- almost like a Barbie pink-y shade but with more of a slight purple undertone. Just doesn't do it for me.
2. There isn't much in the tube. (This might last you, depending on how often you wear it, anywhere from 3-7 weeks.)
3. After taking the cap off, as you can see in some of the pictures, the butter twists out of a silver tube. After application, the area right under the top of the tube gets dirty and shows excess product.
Overall, for $6.99, I would not go back and buy this color again. However, I am very likely to buy Berry Smoothie again, so it's really just up to your color preference. Hope this helps!
I really don't see the hype in these. To me, they're not much more than a tinted lip balm. The one I got was fairly light, with some shimmer in it, but I expected a little more coverage than what I got. I have drug store glosses with more pigmentation than that! Plus the one I have feels kind of drying on my lips after wearing it for a while. It can be applied and re-applied like a lip balm, which is nice and convenient, but I just don't get all the hype I guess!
It's not horrible, I'll definitely finish up the Cotton Candy one I have, but I'm not dying to buy them all, or even try another shade honestly.
I'm really Inlove with all these lip butters! They can be pricey for being a drugstore product (about 10$ at shoppers) but I can find them for cheaper at local drugstores. These aren't highly pigmented except for a few of the darker shades, but in my opinion they aren't suppose to be super pigmented, it's not a lipstick, just a lip butter. These are super moisturizing. This particular color however, is a sheer one. Best used for day time. If you wear it over a lip liner it would look good for night aswell. The color selection for these is incredible. I own a few but every time I see them I'm tempted to buy more. A great lip butter on Revlon's part. Def gonna buy more. If you haven't tried them, definitely check them out! Love!

liberation, distinctively felt today.
the past 96 hours were well planned, well played.
start of the finals; huge site area, endless potential – be foolish, be bold, stay hungry
ball happening this weekend.
beat; arctic monkeys – cigarette smoker fiona
i was looking through some readings the other day (in hopes to calm the tension), came across an interesting article referring to rené descartes's cartesian doctrine it was an absolutely compelling article.
shortly after, i found myself off course and experimenting with seemingly childish symmetry. (might be the withdrawal symptoms from the fibonnaci patterns)
i started to abstract forms and rhythms of things around me, measured/mirror-ed these "patterns". which of course appeared to have made perfect sense at that time.
eventually ending with interesting geometry proportioned 5:8.
thought-provoking material.
need more space
raleigh, quite the charmer
gotta go, sorry

amazing day, i stole a sunset.
