From Rawlins, Wyoming, USA:
My daughter, who has had type 1 diabetes for four years and wears an insulin pump, is very active in sports, volleyball to be specific, and I was told she has to have a doctor's note that states she should be allowed to wear her pump during games and tournaments. They consider it to be comparable to a brace or hard plastic appliance that otherwise would not be allowed. She will be in her freshman year in high school activities this fall and, up until now, it has not been an issue.
A doctor's note is a reasonable request to assure your daughter's ability to wear her insulin pump during games and tournaments. Her physician/diabetes team are no doubt familiar with that request and should find it easy to provide.
If your daughter prefers not to wear her pump during competition, her diabetes team can assist in providing a plan to manage off the pump -- either by reconnecting periodically to replace missed basal rates, or by covering with shots for time off the pump. The effects of exercise will of course need to be considered in this plan.
Wearing an insulin pump gives your daughter lots of flexibility and many options in this regard. Here's wishing her a great freshman year in both academics and sports!

Arlington's favorite culinary one-night stand — Taste of Arlington — returns to the event circuit on Labor Day weekend in a new venue and with a new format. From 2 to 7 p.m. Sept. 2, Main Street in Arlington's downtown cultural district will be blocked off for the smorgasbord of great-tasting delights from popular Arlington eateries. Proceeds from this 34th edition of the event will benefit Theatre Arlington and its youth education programs.
"Theatre Arlington is excited to take Taste of Arlington to Main Street this year," said Theatre Arlington Marketing Director Kim Lawson. "We have created a fun, family-friendly event with great music for all tastes, activities for the kids, gentler pricing for families, wonderful opportunities to win great prizes and a chance to enjoy some of the greatest food in Arlington."
In the new format, guests will purchase general admission tickets and once inside the event site, food coupons to be used at each participating restaurant will be available for purchase. Entertainment and fun kids' activities are free.
Among the roster of participating restaurants dishing up their tastiest dishes are Urban Alchemy Coffee + Wine Bar, Nothing Bundt Cakes, The Melting Pot, Blue Mesa Southwest Grill, Black Dog Pizza /Arlington Improv Comedy Club, Linda Vista Mexican Cuisine, Our Glass Restaurant, Restaurant 506 at The Sanford House, Marquez Bakery and Bone Daddy's House of Smoke.
Also contributing to the flavorful aromas wafting above Main Street will be The Halal Guys, Dave & Busters, Houlihan's, Prince Lebanese Grill, Great Nuts, Fuzzy's Taco Shop, Simply Divine Catering, TCC Culinary Arts, Spring Creek BBQ, On The Border, Andalous Mediterranean Grill, Poured - Wine, Beer & Bubbly, Legal Draft Beer Co. and L'Moore's Catering.
Live music by popular local bands will entertain guests continuously throughout the event. Opening is Vylit, an indie pop band, followed by another local band now hitting the big time, The Gibbonses. Members will play their brand of Southern soul, R&B and Americana. Rounding out the music marquee will be fun cover band Public Road playing classic rock.
"These bands will play a wide range of music with something to please everyone, and they are all about Arlington," Lawson said. "Vylit band member Anna Menger graduated from Arlington High, Jackie Pock Gibbons is a Martin graduate, and Josh White, Public Road's drummer, works at UTA."
A fun Fork Pull will have prizes well worth the price of a pull, and raffle swag will include gift baskets chock full of goodies from several of the participating restaurants. Gift cards from The Cheesecake Factory, Colters BBQ and a host of other favorites will be raffled off along with tickets to the rodeo, Six Flags, Billy Bob's, Symphony Arlington and Medieval Times.
Since Taste of Arlington is taking it to the street, what could be more fitting than fun street performers popping up here and there providing unexpected entertainment. "This won't be an ordinary food festival," Lawson said. "We are a theater after all, so we'll definitely liven things up by adding some flair."
Hardworking members of a dedicated event committee include Malcom Chakery, Peter Scott, Dave Turner, Marion White, Michelle Hoover, Lisa Wilson and Melissa Unger.
Still others investing their sweat equity are Nancy Tice, Kay King, Amy Scott, Beth Marshall, Jennifer Hurley, Mike Talambas, Bruce Caldwell, Pam Hardaway and Jon Garrard.

Babycoo 1 Reviewswe emptied the store out!
I just took my friend here last week and we had a very a pleasant experience. The sales clerk was very nice and helped us with some items that we were looking for. They have the cutest little clothing that you just want to buy everything! We picked up a stroller and are very happy with the purchase. It had all the compartments that my friend needed so she could store as much as she could without having to lug a huge bag around. The store is very well set up and even though the prices might be a little high it is well worth it. We needed up picking up quite a few things and needed her husbandÂs truck to come pick it all up! I encourage anyone that is looking for something for your...

Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) have to decide which one of hem will tackle the three serious and heavenly — and potentially fatal– tests that may allow them to close the Gates of Hell forever. Naturally, the brothers are going to argue over which one will complete these "trials," and with the stakes as high as needing to be able to kill a hellhound, a game of rock-paper-scissors just isn't going to cut it!
On CBS' The Amazing Race, teams of two race around the world, performing tasks to inch themselves closer to winning a million dollars. Well, there seems to be no argument that the Winchester brothers are the ultimate team of two, but unlike on The Amazing Race, Supernaturalhas never had a rule that if one brother took down whatever they were fighting that week, then next week it would be the other brother's turn to do so.
So how can the show possibly make the decision on which Winchester is best suited to take on this enormous responsibility?
In the photo gallery above, Celebuzz looked back at some of the Winchesters' greatest (solo) triumphs in order to shed some light. But we want to hear from YOU, too.

Supernatural airs on Wednesdays at 9PM on The CW.

I would not recommend this range to anyone, the staff are very young and all extremely rude. The facility looks like the owners are not putting money back into the facility as everything looks worn and old. Target stands have very few places to put them. The biggest complaint has to be the staff they will find a way to ruin your day, to young and have been given more responsibility than they can handle.

If you like outdoor shooting this is the place, great ammo selection, rifle range out to 600yds no guns for rent though so bring your own!
Overall, fun place, I go there 2x a month. The steel target pistol range is fun, but Oak Tree Gun club is the best for that.
Rifle ranges are excellent. Shotgun potential is poor, they have a small bay for shooting sport clays (again go to Oak tree for shotgun range time).
The range masters use to be a-holes, but I guess they cleaned up their management/staff.
There's also a nearby reloading shop and gunsmitth. Though I wouldn't exactly recommend the gunsmith.
04/30/2007Provided by Citysearch -
I've gone here on and off over the last ten years. I grew up in the country in another state, target shooting responsibly in the wilds, so I still find it unpleasant to have to plink and target shoot at a range. But this is the only one I've found here that is comparably pleasant, albiet not a substitute for plinking in the wilds, or enjoying hand-thrown clays in the high desert at your campsite.
It is very big, and the outdoor aspect is very nice. I can't stand indoor ranges and don't go to them anymore since finding this place.
And I do not go here on the weekends -- far too many people, some of whom, well, aren't exactly the good ol' boys I grew up with. Let's just say there are some real interesting gun afficionados here in Los Angeles, and they seem to materialize on weekends at this range. Plus, I don't like how the safety factor narrows, theoretically, when there are so many shooters in one place.
But the majority are folks who put off a good vibe, and do their thing whether it be black powder, professional target shooters, hunters dialing in their rifles, simpletons like me doing what I've done since I was 10, (often wondering why the guy next to me with the high-dollar pistol and new, fancy gear can't stay on the paper!) and of course the local law enforcement sometimes show up in mass to practice (I think it used to be a certain weekday morning -- DEB guys with all their ""swat"" gear).
Safety at this range is top notch -- the line officers don't mess around, and I like that. But keep an eye out for extra measure. Every once in a while you see somebody who obviously isn't well trained with a firearm.
Enjoy the great California weather, and pack a cooler with a lunch. Bring eye protection and exceptional hearing protection -- double up with headset and good earplugs. Every so often you end up next to the guy with the bolt action fifty caliber! Ka-BOOOM! and suddenly the earplugs ain't cuttin it anymore!

There are a few choices for shooting ranges in Los Angeles. Some are great indoor ranges with limited ranges of 50-75'. Some allow rifles in those indoor ranges. Angeles Shooting ranges offers outdoor, covered shooting stations for rifles out to 600 plus yards. Pistols out to 100 yards. Swinging steel targets with established ranges to make it easy for the shooter to get their bearings. Range masters may be a little rough at times with only one thing in mind, to keep the shooters and all others safe during their time at the range. They have been trained very well. They also have sporting clay areas, and international silhouette where pistol shooters can test their skills out to 200 meters with a handgun. Yes, you would be amazed at what you can do with practice. They also have a fantastic reloading store! The place is kept clean and on the weekends they have a gentlemen who cooks dogs and burgers for reasonable prices. It is a perfect place for the novice or the expert. You can see black powder guns in action, double rifles being sighted in for Africa, various styles of new and old guns, and the always fun .22 plinkers. Bring out your shotgun and try the sporting clays at Moore and Moore. Need lessons?? They will be more than happy to help you out. I would like to see Angeles offer special shooting events or ??? to promote shooting sports. It would be nice to see some of the large gun firms advertise / get more involved with a place like this. Also would like to see more of a varied selection from their main store. Great big parking lots and a wonderful country feeling to be here even if only for a few hours. As a shooter, you won't be disappointed. Take a kid or adult out for the first time and let them learn the proper way to shoot. A great way to build relationships. Enjoy the Angeles Shooting Ranges as I have for over 25 years. Shoot often.....Shoot safely......

A little hard to get to, but well worth the drive. The staff is professional and focused on safety. A great place to sight in with iron targets at various distances and paper targets availible in the store.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
Yes, thinking. There are three ways to upgrade from NT to Server 2003 AD and while it's a lot easier to back up in an AD deployment than it used to be, you really don't want to start down the wrong path. You'll end up wasting man-days, not man-hours, if you do.
Your three choices are: 1) upgrade; 2) restructure and 3) upgrade and restructure. With an upgrade you basically keep the exact same structure you're already using but now you have AD at the top so you can better run the whole show. This, as you might guess, is also the easiest path that takes the least amount of time, has the lowest risks and requires the fewest resources. It also presumes that instead of adding a new Server 2003 server you're just converting at least one of your existing NT servers to Server 2003.
Your existing structure showing its age? You want better overall server uptime? In that case, you'll want to restructure your network. And, if you want to retain your existing domain structure, but add new Server 2003 machines and implement AD's features now rather than later, you'll want to do both with an upgrade and a restructure.
But, before charging out there, you also need to consider practical constraints. Even a mere upgrade of a small business network will take up a weekend. Do you have that weekend? Do you have the budget to pay for people to work that weekend? Do you have working backup servers in place so your company can keep going even if your upgrade doesn't?
And, let's not forget that, if you're going to bring your application servers to Server 2003 over as well you have to ask yourself if your applications still work? After all Server 2003 may be a killer file and Web server, but it has amazingly few applications that will run on it today.
Only make the move, once you know you really want to do it and you have the resources to do it right.
Down and Dirty
OK, now you know what you're doing and you're ready to go? Your next step is to head over to the Microsoft site and grab a copy of Active Directory Migration Tool 2.0. It's not just a great tool, it's a must have tool, for NT domain administrators on the AD move. I'd no more try an upgrade without it than I would face the day without brushing my teeth.
You'll also want to read Microsoft's white paper, Migrating Windows NT Server 4.0 Domains to Windows Server 2003 Active Directory before making a move.
Once armed with tools and information, you'll want to start with your PDC. What's that your PDC can't handle Server 2003? Then, in that case, start with a BDC, then upgrade it to a PDC and downgrade the old NT PDC to a BDC. After that, you can upgrade all the other BDCs. Or, if you want, you can decommission them as BDCs, and either leave them as NT servers or install Server 2003 on them and in ether case make them ordinary member servers.
You'll also, if you haven't before, need to install Domain Name Service (DNS) on at least one of your servers. Active Directory needs DBS to resolve AD domain, site, and service names to IP addresses. You can use NT, W2K or Server 2003 DNS, but for best results I like to run Server 2003 AD and DNS on the same machine.
Along the way you're also going to be creating Containers that will hold your NT user, computer and groups. These objects are named Users, Computers, and Builtin. No, Builtin isn't just a funny name for groups. NT 4 built-in local groups, like Administrators and Server Operators User accounts go into the Builtin container. Local and network groups that you've set up in NT 4, the jocks from accounting' for instance, are placed in the Users folder.
As you upgrade your PDC, you're likely to want to set it as the first domain in a new Server 2003 forest. If that's the case, and if you're upgrading from NT to Server 2003 it almost certainly will be, you should set your forest functional level to "Windows interim" aka Windows 2000's Mixed level. Don't worry about looking for the menu choice to do it, you'll be prompted for it during the upgrade. It gives you all Windows 2000 level forest functionality and also includes improved replication capabilities and speed.

Kansas City Burn Attorneys
Being the victim of a burn injury is a serious, terrifying experience, and it could result in a wide range of long-lasting issues. In addition to the emotional and physical suffering associated with a severe burn, this injury can generate extensive medical expenses and possible surgeries, costs for therapy and any psychological counseling, thousands of dollars lost due to an inability to work (as well as a potential loss of future earning potential), and many other financial issues.
Whether the burn was caused by the negligence of others, a defective product, or any other causes, it is essential to seek the legal aid of a team of Kansas City burn attorneys who can help you recover damages for the personal injury inflicted upon you.
Symptoms of a Burn Injury
A burn injury can be one of the most devastating injuries a person can sustain. Some of the most common causes of a burn injury include house fires, defective products, gas explosions, electrocution, work accidents, car fires, and defective smoke detectors. Generally, burn injuries fall into three categories, including:
- First-degree burns are characterized as a minor burn affecting the outer layer of skin. Some symptoms include mild pain, peeling of skin, and possible discoloration.
- Second-degree burns affect both the outer layer of skin as well as the inner layer. As such, this burn can cause the skin to blister and become extremely sore and red.
- Third-degree burns are the worst burns, causing damage to every layer of the skin (even reaching the bloodstream, major organs, and bones. Depending on the cause, this burn can cause the skin to look waxy and white, charred, dark brown, or raised and leathery.
If the burn is severe, the first step is to seek the necessary medical attention and begin recovering from the injury.
Potential Compensation For a Burn Injury
At Popham Law, our first objective is to gather the necessary materials to present a strong case. As such, we'll gather and secure all relevant evidence from fire department reports, police reports, medical records and other reports created by your physician, and any other necessary pieces of evidence. We'll also retain inspectors, electricians, and accident investigators to help establish both cause and fault in the accident. As part of our litigation strategy, our aim is to help you recover fair and comprehensive compensation for the injuries you suffered, including:
- Economic damages: medical expenses, future medical costs, rehabilitation expenses, compensation for the value of lost wages and possible diminished earning capacity.
- Non-economic damages: compensation for physical pain, mental anguish, and, if applicable, disfigurement.
- Punitive damages: If the injury occurred due to reckless conduct, the court could award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoing and discourage others from acting in such a way.
For the Leading Kansas City Burn Attorneys, Contact Popham Law
Located right in downtown Kansas City, Popham Law is comprised with some of the leading personal injury attorneys in Missouri. Over the years, our attorneys have represented countless individuals who've suffered a burn injury due to the negligence of another. We'll work with you, one-on-one, and put your interests at the forefront of our litigation strategy, and through diligent investigation and industry-leading courtroom and negotiation tactics, we'll aim to secure the financial compensation you deserve.

THIS was a magnificent performance from LSH against an aggressive Blaydon side unbeaten at home for two years.
They survived a fierce physical onslaught in the opening 20 minutes and then gradually took control. By this time the subs bench was bare. Michael Jones, Dave Bailey - requiring seven stitches - and Hans De Jagger were all helped from the field by Lorna McCarthy, the overworked LSH physio.
The first half produced two tries from each side, with Danny Jones opening the scoring by racing on to a finely judged kick from Simon Worsley, and Sean Casey ending the half completing a three-man move.
Crucially, LSH went into the break 20-10 in front due to two conversions, one penalty and a drop goal from Simon Worsley
The visitors ran in three more tries, all from open play, with winger Alan Cross scoring two, his second a solo effort sprinting the length of the field.
After a short-lived rally from Blaydon producing two tries, replacement back Chris Walker sealed the win with a score after good work from Mike Hitchen.
With Alan Marsh and Njike Tchakoute outstanding in the second row, LSH produced an assured clinical display that brought them a fully deserved victory.
BLAYDON: King, O'Malley, Vorster, Lofthouse, Savory; Howe, Forman; Dixon, Ritson, Clarke, Houghton, Falconer, Guthrie (capt), Wright, Goose.
LSH: Jones M, Cross, Hitchen M, Casey, Jones D; Worsley, Cook (capt); Hewitt, Jackson, De Jagger, Marsh, Tchakoute, Gaskell, Evans C, Bailey D. Reps: Evans P, Ferreira, Walker C, Bailey R.

'If you choose not to vaccinate your children, you should know that the government can have you declared unfit and vaccinate them anyway – at least if you happen to live in Michigan.
A Michigan appeals court has ruled that a judge acted properly when ordering children to be vaccinated despite objections by their mother on religious grounds. Her requests were disregarded after she was deemed unfit by the state.
According to Michigan Live, the mother was considered unfit on several grounds: lack of financial support for the children, unstable housing, lack of food for the children and mental health problems. The case was set in motion after a social worker asked a Kent County court to order the vaccinations. When the mother objected because of religious beliefs, the judge ordered their vaccinations. A subsequent appeal was held up.'

Many scientists consider dogs omnivores rather than carnivores, but there is considerable debate. Dogs often eat fruits and vegetables, and even wolves eat some plant matter in the wild. Domesticated dogs are carnivores in one sense; however, they belong to the scientific grouping called Carnivora.Continue Reading
Domesticated dogs adapt to surviving on foods that are not found in the wild, such as highly processed, grain-based kibble. Scientists, who agree that a dog's natural diet is flesh-based, still debate over the importance of plant matter in a dog's diet.
Scientists who consider dogs to be omnivores weigh dogs' dietary needs and habits in captivity against anatomical evidence pointing to their clearly carnivorous origins. Scientists who consider dogs to be carnivores point to their anatomy, hunting instincts and wild, wolf-like behavior as evidence that they are carnivores that merely adjust to eating less flesh, as a consequence of life in captivity.Learn more about Dogs

Three puppies lift spirits of rescuers
The rescue of three puppies who'd been buried for five days under a deadly avalanche provided a glimmer of comfort during the continuing rescue effort in central Italy.
Firefighters on Monday pulled the white Maremma sheepdogs from the wreckage of Hotel Rigopiano in the Pescara province, where 23 people have been found dead.
Nine survivors have been found and six people remain missing.
The puppies had been born in December to the hotel's resident dogs, Lupo and Nuvola (Wolf and Cloud), who had escaped the quake and found shelter in the nearby village of Farindola, according to a report in The Local.
The births had been prominently featured on the resort's website.
The discovery lifted spirits of the rescue teams as they searched for more survivors.
The one-month-old pups were found in an isolated part of the resort, which was slammed by a series of powerful earthquakes and avalanche Jan. 18.
"They just started barking very softly," said Sonia Marini, a member of the Forestry Corps. "In fact, it was hard to find them right away because they were hidden. Then we heard this very tiny bark and we saw them from a little hole the firefighters had opened in the wall. Then we expanded the hole and we pulled them out."
After their rescue and medical checks, the puppies were reunited with their parents in Farindola, where one of the hotel employees had taken them in.

One last snowfall for Spunky
Spunky always loved the snow.
But when the German shepherd-husky-chow mix and his owner moved from Wisconsin to Texas in 2008 that — with flakes being rare in Austin — became a thing of the past.
Ashley Niels, who works as a behavior and enrichment specialist at the Austin Animal Center, says she promised Spunky, who she'd adopted in Wisconsin, that he'd see snow again someday.
When she learned earlier this month that the 12-year-old dog was dying, and made the appointment for him to be put down, she regretted that promise would go unfulfilled.
When she shared that regret with friends at the animal center, they got together to make it happen.
They rented a snow machine and brought to her home.
Last week, Spunky got his snow.
Niels sat in her front yard with Spunky and experienced one last snow storm — albeit an artificial one. He didn't frolic in it, like he used to, but Niels thinks he enjoyed it.
"To be honest, he was like 'I'm not really sure what this is.' It wasn't cold snow. I think he could see how excited I was, so he thought it was pretty cool," Niels told Inside Edition Tuesday night.
"I think he felt all the love we were trying to show him."
Spunky's appointment with the vet the next day was canceled, and Niels hasn't rescheduled it yet.
"As long as he's happy, I don't really want to take that from him," she said. "It makes me happy to be able to spend more time with him."
She adopted him from a local shelter in Wisconsin when he was a puppy. They lived there for four years before moving to Austin.
After creating the snowstorm for Spunky, animal center staff brought the snow machine back to the shelter to let a few more dogs experience a snowfall.
As of late last week Spunky was still hanging in there, according to Ashley's Facebook page, and she was doing her best to not think about his death and savor the time together they had left.
"I try not to think about it because he's my boy," she said. "I get to spend this extra-special time with him."

Dog and cheetah enjoy their first snowstorm
In case you're needing to see some sort of silver lining behind those snow clouds that socked the eastern seaboard and paralyzed the northeast this weekend, we offer this.
Kago and Kumbali — a dog and cheetah who have become best friends at the Metro Richmond Zoo — got to play in the snow for the first time during winter storm Jonas.
The zoo was closed Saturday, but a zookeeper let the popular duo run and play in the 7-inch deep snow in a large fenced field.
Kumbali was two weeks old when caretakers at the zoo noticed he was losing weight. The runt of a litter born to zoo cheetahs Khari (the mom) and Hatari (the dad), Kumbali was bottle fed and grew healthier, but having been removed from his litter he needed some companionship.
So the zoo got him a dog.
Kago, a 10-week old Lab mix, had been pulled from a high kill shelter in Alabama by The Art of Paws, an animal rescue group in Florida.
Zoo officials report the two have become inseparable.
Kumbali and Kago can be seen at the zoo Monday to Thursday from 12 to 1 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday from 12 to 1 p.m. and 3 to 4 p.m. And you can find their full story here.
Here's a look at their first meeting, and their younger (snowless) days:

Why you won't be seeing the Kardashians on dog sleds this season
When a front woman for the Kardashians emailed the owner of a dog sled adventure company in Montana, asking him to arrange a half-day trip for Khloe, Kim and eight other cast members — all while being filmed by 20 or so crew members — he quoted a price.
It would be $390 per sledder, or $3,900 total, Jason Matthews, the owner of Bozeman-based Yellowstone Dog Sled Adventures, told her in an email.
Ashley Warner, the production release coordinator for "Keeeping Up with the Kardashians," emailed back, suggesting — rather than cash — "an exposure trade out." The publicity Matthews' company would receive being on the reality show was worth at least that much, she told him.
Matthews responded to her email saying, in effect, that kind of math didn't fly in Montana, and requesting payment in advance.
The email exchange continued after that, with the Kardashian representative continuing to talk about a "trade" and explaining the value of "exposure" and Matthews — who has never seen the show — insisting on payment in the form of currency he was familiar with.
At one point, when his message seemed to not be getting through, he made a comment reflecting his own reality: "Look," he wrote, " my dogs don't eat trade."
The discussion continued until he was sent a confidentiality agreement. He declined to fill it out, saying "I'm not going to sign this until you agree to pay my rate.'"
Warner stopped emailing after that, and Matthews assumed the Kardashian sled ride was off.
On Sunday, Matthews heard the Kardashians had been in a car accident near Bozeman on Saturday. Their car slid off a road and into a ditch. No one was injured and no citations were issued. But it was still very dramatic, Khloe said the next day, when she was interviewed at the Oscars.
"We were in Montana, hit some black ice, car spun out of control, like a big rig got ice all over our car … It was really scary … but we're all good, all safe, thank God."
The Kardashians, while they didn't get their dog sled adventure, did get some skiing in while visiting Montana.
Matthews, after learning of their misfortune — and that no one was injured — got on Facebook and wrote a post titled "Montana Karmic Justice." explaining his experience with the family's representatives, LastBestNews.com reported.
In it, he said he didn't feel the $3,900 fee he was going to charge was exorbitant, considering that — at least according to what he read on the Internet — the family is being paid $60 million this season. He said he was glad they never showed up.
His Facebook post was shared widely, bringing him and his company some major (you guessed it) exposure — all while steering clear of the Kardashians.
And you can't put a price on that.

Dog poop: Do I need to draw you a picture?
"All Over Albany" has noticed that dog poop is, well, all over Albany — and they've fashioned a helpful flow chart to help address the (fecal) matter.
(Click on the illegible version above to be taken to the full size chart. Then come back, for this isn't just an upstate New York issue, but a national, nay, global one.)
At my park in Baltimore, and probably your's, it seems that, when the snow and cold arrive, the manners of some otherwise responsible dog owners depart.
Whether it's because people don't want to traipse throught the snow to scoop it up, or because it's just so darned cold, there are a lot more lingering dog droppings to be seen, and stepped in.
In a perfect world, those not scooping would be the ones stepping in it — but it never seems to work out that way.
And while, granted, solidly frozen poopage won't despoil your footwear, neglected droppings, amid continued freeze and thaw, can come back to haunt us.
"We've thought a lot about this issue," Alloveralbany.com reported in a piece last month. "And we finally came to the conclusion that winter somehow impairs the ability of some people to make good decisions about whether they should pick up their dog's poop.
"So, we're here to help. We've constructed a flow chart to assist citizens of the Capital Region in their decision-making process on the all important question: 'It's winter. My dog has pooped. What now?'"

Back in Baltimore, looking for a home
The past week has been a hectic one, mostly spent avoiding snowstorms, seeking out landlines for radio interviews and, just when we thought our traveling was done, traveling some more.
No sooner were Ace and I back in Baltimore than we left again — this time back to North Carolina for my mother's 85th birthday celebration.
Now we're back again, just in time for a snowstorm — that's the ohmidogmobile at the bottom right of the picture — seeking a place to squat for a month or so while we ponder our long terms plans.
Step one is to visit my storage unit to try and find some winter clothes.
We packed for a three-month summer trip. It turned into a seven-month one that didn't wind up — and in a way still hasn't — until January was upon us.
Living out of one's car — convenient as it is in some ways — is a pain in the butt in others. I can easily locate most things I need in the course of a day, but when it comes to things that I only sometimes need, and are thus buried deeper, it's nearly hopeless, requiring a good bit of unpacking and repacking.
It will be nice to have that chaos straightened out. And Ace, though he has said he enjoys the constant traveling — 22,000 miles of which we've done since May — is, in my interpretation, ready for a return to something resembling a routine.
Back from North Carolina, we lodged one night at the home of his godmother, and we're freeloading for two nights at the home of my teacher friends.
Our goal is to find someplace dirt cheap to stay for a month or two before we wear out our welcomes. I have not been focusing on it as I should, and I think, deep down, it might be because I don't want to return to the routine.
I want a bed, and a refrigerator, and a TV and heat. I want a big table on which to spread things out. But part of me hesitates to get back into that situation of paying all those bills every month — rent, utilities, Internet, cable, telephone, and all those other things I've come to see as sucking away not just my money, but my freedom.
Then, too, promoting my new book "Dog, Inc.: The Inside Story of Cloning Man's Best Friend" — is also taking up a lot of time, most of it spent searching for landlines to borrow for radio interviews.
Speaking of the book, which has been out about 10 days now, it has been having some pretty nice things happen to it.
It got nice mentions in Mother Jones and Real Simple magazines, and was chosen by Parade magazine as a "Parade Pick." This week, it was named one of January's "Mover and Shakers" by Goodreads.com, where it has also gotten some good reviews from the public.
Thanks, public.

Badlands? Or cream puffs?
The Badlands? They weren't so bad. In fact, thanks to a premature winter blast that left them lightly dusted with snow, they looked more like cream puffs when Ace and I passed through Thursday, making it as far as Beach, North Dakota.
Finally freed from Fargo, we whizzed from one end of the state to the other, eventually passing through the terrain that the Lakota tribe named "Mako Sica," which means "land bad."
Forbidding as it sounds, the pockmarked terrain looked more like a bakery shop, as if powdered sugar had been sifted from above, turning buttes into bundt cakes and craggy pinnacles into cream puffs.
We whizzed from on end of the state to the other, sticking to I-94 and stopping only for coffee, gas, bodily functions and to take a picture of Salem Sue, the world's largest cow.
On a mountain top in New Salem, whose high school sports teams are named the Holsteins, Sue, who was erected in 1974 to honor the area's dairymen, overlooks the interstate and is visible from miles away.
Tourists can drive up the mountain's gravel road and, should they so choose, drop a donation into a milk can. They help pay for her maintenance — and a 38-foot-high, 50-foot-long, six ton fiberglass cow does need maintenance now and then.
I-94 also sports what are touted as the world's largest metal sculptures, created by artist Gary Greff. Greff, a former school teacher, started fashioning as a way to bring people into the small community of Regent, home base of The Enchanted Highway.
The Enchanted Highway is about 20 miles east of Dickinson, North Dakota, and runs along I-94 for for 32 miles, with the sculptures, including "Geese in Flight," spread out along the way.
Of course, North Dakota's landscape is art in itself — both before and after harvest. In late summer, there are fields of sunflowers blooming for miles. By then end of October, only their dark brown stalks remain, curled up and shriveled.
Hay bales dot the roadsides, boxy ones and coiled ones, stacked sometimes higher than houses. On this day, they too were sugar frosted — looking like they belonged in a really big cereal bowl. Just add a little of Sue's milk, and breakfast could be served.
We didn't pass through any heavy accumulations of snow — mostly, despite predictions of a blizzard, just a light dusting, but it was enough to draw Ace's attention. Usually, he only bothers to look out the window when he feels the car slow down. On this 300-plus mile leg of the trip, he spent a long time looking at the scenery, and when we made a pit stop, he was eager to traipse through the snow that was left.
We didn't stop and camp in the Badlands, as John Steinbeck wrote that he did in "Travels with Charley." In the book, Steinbeck described how the "unearthly" landscape lost its "burned and dreadful look" as the sun went down, and took on a glow; and of how, in the night, "far from being frightful, (it) was lovely beyond thought …
"In the night the Bad Lands had become Good Lands. I can't explain it. that's how it was."
I too didn't think the Badlands lived up to their ominous name, probably because of the light snow-coating. Instead they left me with the song "Candy Man," stuck in my head, and with a strong urge for some bundt cake.

A Fresno man who was arrested Friday for a 28-year-old homicide case was in court Monday and has a plea date set, a Santa Clara County deputy district attorney said. Daniel Garcia, 53, who was arrested on Friday and charged with the killing of Saba Girmai, waived time and will enter a plea on Feb. 5 at 9 a.m. in Department 84, Santa Clara County Deputy District Attorney Ted Kajani said. On Jan. 18, 1985, Girmai's body was found in the dumpster in the rear of the Bailey Park Plaza and Safeway shopping center at 570 N. Shoreline Blvd. in Mountain View, police said.
Girmai, 21, was known to frequent the San Jose area, police said. The investigation was frequently revisited throughout the years but no significant leads developed, police said. On Jan. 12, 2010, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's crime lab was able to develop a DNA profile from the victim's fingernails, which gave authorities a match. Garcia, a previously convicted offender, was matched to the DNA, police said. He was not previously linked to Girmai.

Display Computer Content on Your HDTV - Even Without an HDMI Port - With Sewell Direct's USB to HDMI Adapter
Instantly Converts Signal for Multimedia Display on HDTV or Compatible Monitors
Dec 08, 2010, 11:42 EST
OREM, Utah, Dec. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The Internet is filled with free entertainment, from movies and TV shows to ballgames and other sports events, but many computers aren't equipped with HDMI outputs that allow that content to be displayed on an HDTV. The HD Deck USB to HDMI SW-31000 Display Adapter from Sewell Direct solves the problem with a simple converter that turns a USB port on nearly any PC or Mac into a video port that can transmit your preferred content to any nearby HDTV for comfortable viewing.
The adapter is an external video card that connects from any USB 2.0 port to your HDTV or compatible monitor. Once connected, it can display any online or installed computer content such as slideshows from your latest family birthday or travel adventure on any HDTV screen, providing high resolution images and HD audio through the computer's connection.
The USB conversion works through the use of a video compression algorithm located inside the external video card. A DisplayLink chip provides smooth visual and audio performance on the HDTV. The USB pipeline has 480 mbps, providing sufficient bandwidth for high-quality video connectivity. DisplayLink driver updates support high definition video and DirectX for photo editing, web surfing, movie viewing and more.
Simply install the driver software CD included with the product so that your computer can communicate with the adapter device. Then plug one end of an HDMI cable into the computer and the other end into the HDTV with the adapter in between. In a few seconds, the image on the computer screen will appear on the TV screen in high definition.
Unlike built-in video cards, the adapter is portable with the ability to be used across multiple computers. Bonus: no additional graphic cards are required.
"Even with TiVo and on-demand viewing that put hundreds of shows and movies at the viewer's fingertips, the Internet has the advantage of providing free 24/7 access to virtually any sports broadcast, TV show, movie or other program," said Preston Wily, President of Sewell. "As the high definition viewing experience continues to gain popularity, the demand for HD viewing of computer content has increased as well. Our USB to HDMI converter makes it easy to go HD from almost any computer."
The Sewell USB to HDMI SW-31000 Display Adapter is available at www.sewelldirect.com for $99.95.

Whether you have come to Sedona to golf, shop, hike, bike, rock climb or just plain relax and enjoy the scenery, we hope this entertaining, educational, entertaining Waypoint Tour⢠will enrich your Sedona experience, and we look forward to your feedback and ideas at wWaypointtToursrs.com. We'll introduce you to the story behind the magnificent scenery. You'll hear about early settlers, Native Americans, plants, rocks and animals of the region, and the forces of nature that created this unique place.
If you could look at the state of Arizona from above, you would see the red, salmon, and cream-colored rocks of Sedona lace the edges of the 3000 foot high Mogollon rim. A serendipitous set of natural phenomena has created a striking landscape of spires, buttes and canyons. Here, at the edge of the Mogollon Rim, the wide expanses of the Colorado Plateau in Northeastern Arizona tumble down through a jumble of mountains and canyons, and smooth out into broad basins and northwest trending mountain chains in Southern and Western Arizona. "Red Rock Country" may look familiar to you, even if you've never been here before. It is one of the most photographed spots in Arizona, and these formations were featured in classic western movies like "Angel and the Badman" with John Wayne, "Broken Arrow" with Jimmy Stewart and "Call of the Canyon," adapted from the novel written by Zane Grey.
Sedona is an unusual name for a town, but then, it was an unusual name for a baby. It's not Spanish, or Native American, but simply, American. Amanda Miller, a woman of Pennsylvania Dutch heritage living in Missouri, made up the name for her daughter because she thought it sounded pretty. On Sedona's 20th birthday in 1901, she married Theodore Carlton (Carl) Schnebly, who promptly took her to Arizona, where his brother Ellsworth was living.
Only five families lived in the area, and the new two-story Schnebly home was the one place large enough to accommodate guests, so it became the town's first hotel and general store. Carl Schnebly organized a post office, and submitted the names "Oak Creek Crossing" and "Schnebly Station" to the Postmaster General. Upon being told that they were too long for a postmark, Carl's brother suggested he name it after Sedona, and so the pretty place acquired a pretty name.
Oak Creek Vista
This lovely spot among the pines has wonderful views of Oak Creek Canyon. Native Americans from Northern Arizona often have jewelry and other Indian crafts for sale – true southwest souvenirs.
At the overlook, you can see some of the switchbacks of the road as it plunges down into Oak Creek Canyon. The 15 mile journey through the canyon is what some might call an "Oh, My!" road, both for the spectacular views, and for the sheer descents. Flagstaff is at 7200 feet; Sedona is at 4400 feet.
As the elevation changes, so do the temperature, plants and animals. Flagstaff is about 10 degrees cooler than Sedona, and gets 10-15" more precipitation. On top of the Mogollon Rim, you'll find ponderosa, white fir and Douglas fir; as you drop in elevation into Oak Creek Canyon, you will find chaparral shrublands consisting of scrub oak, manzanita and juniper. Scrub oak is more formally known as Turbinella Oak, after the acorns which resemble little toy tops. Other species of Oak which grow here, and help give the canyon its name, include Emory Oak with shiny yellowish-green leaves that resemble holly, Gambel Oak which has lobed leaves and a proliferous root system, and Arizona White oak, which hybridizes easily. Manzanita means little apples, and is named for the small yellowish-white/reddish-brown berries that are found among the twisted, mahogany-hued branches and small waxy leaves. Many animals, including skunks, coyotes, foxes, grouse, quail, bears and deer, enjoy these berries.
At the lowest elevations, you'll find prickly pear cactus, yucca, and desert dwellers such as coyotes, jackrabbits and lizards. Along the stream you'll find water-loving willows, sycamores and cottonwoods. Over 150 species and subspecies of birds have been recorded here due to the diverse habitat. For example, the pygmy nuthatch prefers the pine forests, whereas the red-breasted nuthatch prefers conifers and the white-breasted nuthatch prefers deciduous trees such as the cottonwoods and sycamores. A curious fact about nuthatches is they forage by traveling down tree trunks. That way they find bugs that other birds, such as woodpeckers, traveling up might have missed.
Not everything that flies is a bird, however. Bats are known to nest near the overlook; their favorite perches are old bridges and buildings, trees, and abandoned mines. When you consider that, in one night, a large colony of bats can eat up to 500,000 pounds of insects, you might want to keep them around. They hibernate in the winter and that seems essential for their survival. Please respect their privacy. Young, inexperienced bats may lose their grip and fall if startled, so let sleeping bats hang.
From this high vantage point, you may feel as if you are flying too. Oak Creek Canyon and beautiful Sedona are a land of contrasts; from scenic mountainous vistas to deep, cool canyons; from cozy bed and breakfast inns to spacious resorts with all the amenities; from Cowboy art to surrealism; from soothing to energizing vortexes; from desert dwellers to riparian habitat; and from ancient seas to modern day rocks, which provide the most striking contrast of all; the vibrant red buttes and spires silhouetted against rich green vegetation and verdant blue skies.

This recipe is an old time favorite of ours. All the kids love these and so do we! Hope you get all the nice compliments I do when you make them.
I absolutley loved these cookies. They require 8oz's of almond paste in the recipe, but most paste comes in measurements of 7oz's whice sufficed just perfect. Go ahead and try them, there delicious! - 12 Apr 2000 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
to make this already wonderful recipe even better use Almond Filling instead of the almond paste the cookies come out moist and even better. - 02 Nov 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
HEAVEN ... tastes EXACTLY like the layered cookies you get at an Italian bakery. If you want to impress your friends & family, this is the recipe to go with. Not NEARLY as complicated to make as they look!! I will make these again, for sure!! The only thing I would note is that you don't need to use all the chocolate ... I found the top layer a little too thick ... made curring into pieces a bit difficult. I would use less so that there is only a very thin chocolate layer on top. - 27 Dec 2000 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

History's Unusual Deaths: Arius, The Orthodox Heretic
During his lifetime, Arius was a religious figure with beliefs so controversial that he was formally denounced as a heretic by the Orthodox Church. Arius' last moments came in 336 A.D. when he was struck by sudden bowel cramps during a procession.
Before he made it to a bathroom, Arius vacated his bowels, a great deal of blood, small intestines, portions of his liver and spleen and eventually his life on Earth. At the time, some believed Arius was smote for his heresy, but modern historians believe he was likely poisoned by his enemies.
Franz Reichelt, The Flying Tailor
Reichelt was an Austrian-born French tailor who was well known during his time for his inventions. Posthumously, though, Reichelt is best known for his fatal 1912 leap from the Eiffel Tower. Having obtained permission from the Parisian police to test his new parachute suit from the landmark, Reichelt announced that the only dummie that would repel from the building was himself. Upon jumping, the suit failed and he fell to his death.
Malcolm "King Kong" Kirk
Most knew 70s professional British wrestler King Kong Kirk due to his memorable and massive size. The real-life giant met his end in 1987 during a match with Shirley "Big Daddy" Crabtree after Crabtree performed his "belly splash" move on Kirk.
Crabtree inundated Kirk with fleshy-waves until he noticed that Kirk appeared to have stopped moving and turned a strange color. It was later discovered at the hospital that Kirk had suffered from a heart attack during the "belly splash" and died instantly.

Julep Diamond Mystery Box Review – Nov 2014
About a week ago Julep launched their latest Mystery Box – the Diamond Mystery Box. My impression of Julep Mystery boxes lately has been that the nail polish colors are from older seasons and not seasonally appropriate. A few readers comments about the October Mystery Box being surprisingly good convinced me to try another one. (And I'm glad I did!)
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).
The Box: Julep Diamond Mystery Box (no longer available)
The Cost: $24.99
The Products: $150 worth of beauty and nail polish including 2 new diamond nail polish colors
Julep Nail Color in Nic – Retail Value $14
Julep Nail Color in Eliana – Retail Value $14
Julep Nail Color in Austen – Retail Value $14
Julep Nail Color in Nancy – Retail Value $14
Julep Nail Color in Chantel – Retail Value $14
Julep Nail Color in Sky – Retail Value $14
The two glitter polishes on the right are the new shades made for this box. I love that Julep is getting back to featuring new polish shades in Mystery boxes – it makes it so much easier to take the risk without worrying about getting 100% duplicate shades. And the other four shades are great for winter – I'm kind of thrilled with this selection!
Julep Invisible Dry Shampoo – Retail Value $22
Julep Lip Gloss in Polished – Retail value $16
Julep Gel Eye Glider – Retail Value $16
I've tried all these beauty items before thanks to my Julep Maven subscription. In general I'd say they are all pretty good and I'll use them, but I don't like them enough to buy them at full retail price. (Also kind of weird and maybe worth mentioning – the dry shampoo is supposed to come with a clear cap. I originally reviewed it in April 2013. Not sure if that bothered anyone else, but I just felt like the black cap didn't match the packaging!)
Julep Mighty Nail & Cuticle Serum – Retail Value $28
Clean Slate Polish Corrector Pen – Retail Value $10
I was pretty excited about this polish corrector pen since it is new-to-me, but then I read the reviews on Julep that it doesn't work. Oh well!
Verdict: I think this is one of the best Mystery Boxes I've received in a while from Julep. The value is about $175, and I'm happy to see that a lot of that value is attributed to nail polish. Did you get a Diamond Mystery Box? What items did you get?
