In an on again, off again issue of approving a liquor license for Sonny's Slots and Café at 8841 W. 87th St., it seems the third time was the charm. The Hickory Hills Council approved a Class E Liquor License for the facility at the council meeting last Thursday.
The action increased the number of Class E Liquor licenses in the city from nine to 10.
Previously, the license had been granted to the café owner several months ago, but was removed when he announced the business would not be opening. When he returned a second time with the request, it was denied because there was additional work required on other properties in the Plaza. The approval at the June 9 meeting came after Mayor Mike Howley announced the required work at the Plaza was near completion and everything was up to code.
Also approved was an ordinance approving a Class 6b tax incentive for property located at 7731 W. 98th St. Village attorney Vince Cainkar explained that the tax incentive reduces taxes on industrial buildings, particularly on those which have been vacant for an extended period of time.
The prospective buyer of the property is Mariesa Errico, a Hickory Hills resident. She and her family have a contract on the property, contingent on the approval of the Class 6b incentive.
"We are planning on converting it into a wholesale bakery. Our products are sold to hotels and restaurants in the Chicago area; we are not a retail bakery," she said. Currently, they anticipate 35 to 50 employees, with expansion plans that could bring that total to 100 employees in the future. The family presently owns a bakery on the North Side of Chicago.
An Intergovernmental agreement was approved calling for Hickory Hills to join with Hometown and the villages of Summit and Bedford Park in police dispatching efforts. The dispatch center will operate out of Hickory Hills.
A second ordinance introduced by Cainkar was an intergovernmental agreement to establish a Joint 911 Authority with the villages of Summit and Bedford Park. Cainkar stated that the plan has to be in place by July 1 in compliance with state law.
"It is good to be keeping this local. And the contract can be terminated after one year with a 60-day notice, if the city thinks it is not working," Cainkar said.
In a third intergovernmental agreement, approval was given for the city to join in the establishment of a Southwest Major Crimes Task.
"Formation of this group will reduce the number of call-outs for our department," said Hickory Hills Police Lt. Tim Stevens. "We will continue to be a part of the South Suburban Major Crime Task Force for the time being, to see how this works, but this new group could be a benefit to us. As members of the South Suburban Major Crime Task Force, we are often called out to assist in communities as far as University Park, Richton Park and Harvey. With a Southwest task force, the call-outs could be fewer."

text: The 11 Biggest Storylines from the 2010 NFL Season So much happened this season. And by that, I mean Favre showed his penis to everyone, Vick made everyone forget about his being a terrible person and all, etc. Dan Abramson January 03, 2011 11k Views More Info Full Credits Dan Abramson Uploader Funny Or Die Uploader Stats & Data 282Funny55Die 10,893 Views January 03, 2011 Published Category Sports Recaps Tags nfl season recap biggest nfl stories brett favre michael vick dog fighting michael vick peyton manning ray lewis killed a guy 1. We All Acted Like Michael Vick Didn't Torture Dogs. Oh Us! There's no denying that Michael Vick's comeback season was nothing short of phenomenal. But it overlooked the more important story: it seems to have erased the memory of his dogfighting charges. Without that, who really is Michael Vick? Just a guy who knowingly gave herpes to many, many unsuspecting women. Who happens to be really good at football. 2. The Mannings Continued to be the Mannings Peyton Manning's little brother continued to let people down, as his team was unable to reach the playoffs despite a promising start. It's understandable, considering the defenses opposing teams threw at him during the last few weeks: informing him that they'd seen Santa's naughty list and he was the first name listed. As for the elder Manning, he continued to guide his team to the playoffs despite having a wide-receiving corp that resembled the Duke basketball team. 3. Brett Favre's Penis Never forget. 4. Ben Roethlisberger's Stint as a TSA Agent Totally happened. I swear. 5. Patriots Got Back to Being the Patriots. And it's about time. We all need to hate somebody. Plus, I like to picture Bill Belichick telling Tom Brady "sweep the leg" during every time out. 6. Mid-Season Head Coach Firings Not pictured: the party sub that Wade Philips drowned his sorrows in. 7. Steve Johnson's Tweet Breakout wide-receiver Stevie Johnson dropped what would've been the game-winning touchdown pass in a dramatic come-from-behind victory over the Steelers. Johnson then took to twitter (as anyone who lives in the spotlight should) and blamed God: "I PRAISE YOU 24/7!!!! AND THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS???? HOW???? ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!! THX THO..."Listen, as someone who apparently hates himself, I'm a Bills fan. Johnson implying God let him down is nothing new. If history has proven anything, God has frequently shown that he takes great pleasure in tormenting Buffalo, its players, and its fans. Knowing that God hates us is why we continue. Thurman Thomas didn't blame God for losing his helmet in the Superbowl. O.J. Simpson didn't blame God when murdered innocent people. We just accept it and cry. 8. Peyton Hillis FINALLY Gives White People a Fair Shake FEATURED ABOVE: Announcers' logic in referring to Peyton Hillis as a fullback. 9. Donovan McNabb's Benching in Favor of Rex Grossman Have we seen the last of McNabb? Probably not. But Sexy Rexy should not be a professional quarterback. He should be hanging out with Eli Manning in the game room of Funtime USA. 10. The Falcons Dominated the NFC... But nobody gave a shit. I mean, have you seen Drew Brees' baby? 11. Ray Lewis Murdered At Least 27 People It's the little things - the stuff that doesn't show up in the box score - that make Ray Lewis special.

June Favorites!

I got the Neutrogena sunblock in my target summer bag. I didn't like it for my body. It was so dry that I couldn't figure out where I had put it on and where I hadn't. But I loved it for my face. So I agree, its a win. That's also a really pretty Jouer lipgloss. Any suggestions to get the rest of the gloss out of the mini tube?

What a gorgeous cargo palette! I've picked up a couple & love them. I want them all :)

It's my favorite! I am up to 4 of them now, and I am determined to collect all 10. I haven't even been using my other shadows, for the most part, since I got them.

I'm so loving that sunscreen! It's perfect for putting on your face. I've been putting it on every day.

If you still can't get over the fact that the 26-year-old "Breaking Dawn" actor Robert Pattinson then here is an excellent opportunity for you to reminisce.
And who knows, it might be fun. We can pretend that everything's fine again between the former lovebirds as we look at brand new promo pictures from the new Twilight instalment, Breaking Dawn: Part 2.
Ever since the news broke that Kristen had been cheating on poor old R-Patz with Snow White And The Huntsman director Rupert Sanders, things have been quite difficult between them. Pattinson appears to have moved on, but not without managing the personal secrets they share together with respect.
As we porous through the happy moment photos, the reality of their situation may have never been more real. Pattinson moved out of their LA home and the couple appear as though they haven't spoken since.
Pattinson of course has been keeping himself busy by braving through several slightly awkward interviews promoting his new film Cosmopolis, whereas Kristen's kept a low profile, even choosing to skip a promotional event for her latest film, a film adaptation of Jacques Kerouac's cult classic On The Road, in London yesterday. Though it's been confirmed by People.com she will attend the Toronto Film Festival at the beginning of September. It's perhaps now sinking in.
In one of the pictures Kristen aka Bella is seen staring meaningfully into the distance with her deep red, vampire… eyes.
In another of the pictures, the Cullen family are seen lining up, looking like their ready to kick some serious Volturi rump.
The shots give insight, just in case you've forgotten, into the plot of the film, which involves Bella and Edward's – played by Rob – battle with the Volturi vampire clan over the fate of their fast-growing daughter Renesmee, played by Makenzie Foy.
Despite the recent scandal, experts aren't expecting it to have any impact on box office results.
"While it is studio policy not to comment on the personal lives of actors, Summit is moving full steam ahead and looking forward to this November's opening of The Twilight Saga: "Breaking Dawn: Part 2," Nancy Kirkpatrick, the studio's president of worldwide marketing, told Entertainment Weekly.
Pattinson's brief trip to New York is finally a rapp. The "Twilight" heartthrob completed the promotional stops for his new film, "Cosmopolis." Making appearances at the premiere, the New York Stock Exchange, and "Good Morning America" while nursing the scandal of his former "Twilight" girlfriend must have been a little much but he survived.
On Monday, he hit the "Cosmopolis" after-party at the Dream Downtown, and on late Tuesday a glassy-eyed Pattinson walked out of Soho House.
On Wednesday morning, he told "GMA's" George Stephanopoulos, "I've never been interested in trying to sell my personal life." On Wednesday evening, Pattinson and director David Cronenberg talked with New York Times columnist David Carr. "America really wants to have a royal family," Pattinson said. "So if you and Kristen have trouble, it's like Charles and Di having problems?" Carr asked. "Let's not say that," Pattinson said. A source told us the star was departing from Newark airport Wednesday night.
All in all, fans everywhere should be quite proud of how Pattinson has carried himself through four public appearances. Not only has he behaving like the gentlemen we all believed him to be, he's been respectful of both Stewart's privacy and his own.
For those of you that are hoping for a Pattinson/Stewart reconciliation, don't put any money on it. The situation is quite complex. While it is clear that Stewart will do anything to resolve their shattered romance, Pattinson is perhaps under extreme pressure from his family and friends to move on to the next chapter in his life. Now Magazine, a web publication in the UK reported that, "Rob's parents Richard and Clare and his sisters Lizzy and Victoria are trying to convince R-Pattz, 26, it's not a great idea. 'They're worried she may win him over and have told him he mustn't meet her."
That's a lot of pressure when your family is touched by scandal caused by someone outside the family tree. So you see, it's very difficult for Pattinson, as he has to fears not only what his family might think of him if he were to resume his relationship with Stewart, but how will it affect their relationships with their friends and acquaintances.
Pattinson resolutely committed to continue his career and not return to the past, his scheduled Sept. appearance at MTV's Video Music Awards will take place as planned.
Stewart will probably remain in hiding until next month (September) – when she's set to appear at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Well now you're caught up with all the specific details of our former favorite vampire duo. If you're not bored yet you can enjoy the new trailer located below this article.

Southwest Burger
Experience the deep chile vibe in our Southwest Burger with a cactus kick in the slaw topping.
How to Make It
Combine 1 1/2 cups water and chiles in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH 2 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes. Remove chiles; discard liquid. Stem and seed chiles. Combine chiles, 1 teaspoon oil, and garlic in a mini food processor; process until smooth. Combine chile mixture, sugar, and next 4 ingredients (through beef) in a medium bowl. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt. Divide beef mixture into 4 equal portions. Gently shape each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.
Using a knife, remove needles from nopales; peel nopales, and chop to measure 1 cup. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil; swirl to coat. Add nopales; sauté 3 minutes or until tender.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Combine nopales, jicama, cilantro, and juice in a small bowl; sprinkle with remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.
Place patties on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes. Carefully turn patties; grill 3 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Place 1 patty on bottom half of each bun; top each serving with 1/4 cup jicama mixture and top half of bun.

A Fresno woman was sentenced to 15 months in prison on Monday for working with others to make and sell fake IDs, Social Security cards and alien registration cards, announced the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Angelica Moreno Velasquez, 32, is one of six co-defendants who were arrested for the scheme on June 16, 2016. Customers who ordered from the group paid as much as $150 for a set of fraudulent documents.
Three co-defendants were sentenced in December, the U.S. Attorney's Office said: Francisco Javier Hidalgo-Flores received 15 months in prison, Veronica Rosales-Capitaine 14 months and Lizet Amairani Ramirez-Zazueta time served. Charges are pending against the remaining co-defendants and a trial will begin on Dec. 5.

About Jenny Lee Learn
I grew up in Park Head, Ontario and I had a wonderful childhood and always loved to paint, draw and create. After working many different jobs, going to college in Barrie, marrying my husband Jamie, traveling Australia and New Zealand for a year, we renovated an old farm house where I now live (at Gould Lake) with my two beautiful daughters, husband, dog, cat & chickens. The common denominator along the route has been my love of painting and drawing!
In late 2012 my passion became my livelihood and I began my own business of providing custom artwork. I have artwork and greeting cards for sale at several establishments and galleries in Ontario.
In 2013 I purchased framing equipment and began framing my own work as well as others. My framing studio is located in my home and is open by chance or appointment. I enjoy framing and have been fortunate to be able to provide quality frames for individuals as well as to artists and photographers for large gallery shows across Ontario. I build frames from new or reclaimed materials depending on the customers needs and requests.
In 2016 I became extremely busy enjoying custom framing for others that I rarely am able to accept custom artwork orders. You can however find my artwork at the Southampton Art Centre as well as in other establishments in Grey and Bruce Counties.
I have written & illustrated 3 children's books – Truck Got Stuck in 2014, My Mommy Likes – illustrated by Becky Comber in 2015 & Just a Smile in 2016. My books are available for sale in several stores as well as online at www.learnwithlearn.com

The Temptations
A strange night all in all, anyone who knows my musical preferences knows of my love and passion for all things Temptation.
This was the fourth time I've seen the group since 2003, this rated somewhere near the bottom not due to the group but a truly terrible concert going crowd at the Apollo.
Over the last decade The Temptations have performed on the same bill as The Four Tops as part of the T&T tours and usually to packed arenas i.e. The MEN, Sheffield Arena, NIC etc.
This year The Tempts are here on their own and doing smaller more intimate gigs. Nearly every date on the tour is currently sold out or close to selling out, their date in Liverpool on Saturday has been sold out for three months and tickets are like gold dust yet the Manchester date was no-where near selling out.
So up we trudged to The Apollo, The Tempts came on stage around 8.45 to a sadly half- empty venue. Now I'm under no illusions we all know that the classic line up of The Temptations - David Ruffin, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks - are long gone and with Dennis Edwards now performing with his own review in the states The Temptations are somewhat of a novelty.
I'll always support this line up and they really are a talented group. Ron Tyson who wrote and produced for the group when they were on Atlantic Records now joins Otis Williams the last surviving member of the group in chronological order.
Terry Weeks who was a roadie for the group until standing in on their 1997 UK tour he's been with the group eleven years.
Joe Herndon was bass singer for Doo-Wop group The Spaniels up until 2003 when he joined The Temptations, and Bruce Williamson a lead singer in the mould of Dennis Edwards and Ali Ollie Woodson rolled into one.
A beast of a man who can hold a note.
This current incarnation is still doing the business and it's always a pleasure to see them, as it was the first night of the tour on Tuesday I'm willing to forgive them for a lack of a buzz.
Apparently they attended Levi Stubbs funeral in Detroit on Monday, left Chicago Monday afternoon, arrived at Heathrow performed on This Morning and then travelled up for the concert in Manchester.
They began with a track from their 2006 album Reflections Marvin Gaye's How Sweet It Is, before entering into The Way You Do The Things You Do, Get Ready, Ball Of Confusion, Papa Was A Rolling Stone, (An acapella rendition of You Are Necessary), Treat Her Like A Lady, The Girls Alright With Me, Since I Lost My Baby, I Cant Get Next To You, My Girl, Can I Get A Witness, Ain't To Proud To Beg...
I'm a connoisseur of music if you will, I've been raised on watching acts in the rare soul environment of the Northern and Modern Soul scenes were everyone is tuned in and only interested in the act in front of you.
So I find it mightily irritating when the rest of the crowd spend the night pissed up, going back and forth to the bar and generally talking all the way through. In the bigger arenas the sound usually wipes this out and you can put up with it but on Tuesday the sound at the Apollo was so poor these tossers drowned out the group. Add to that around 40 minutes into the act people began to leave ...
The Temptations sensed this and cut the set short by around 20 minutes. So a massive thank you to the concertgoers of Manchester you really enhanced the experience of seeing my favourite group for possibly the final time.
I hope the tour picks up for them and they don't have to face a crowd like that again, and for that matter I don't have to sit with such music philistines ever again.
I'm frantically searching around for tickets at Liverpool on Saturday night....
What a difference a few nights can make, after the poor showing at the opening night in an empty Manchester Apollo I decided to not let that sour my love for the group and travelled across to Sheffield for a Halloween appearance of the group.
We arrived at the wonderful City Hall at around 7pm and in enough time to catch the wonderful Yolanda Brown, a nu Jazz Saxophonist, a stunning and extremely talented girl, who has a new album out.
Definitely one to look out for in the future, as she finished her set at around 8.30 the City Hall had completely filled up in contrast with the empty and souless feel of the Apollo on Wednesday night. At 8.45 The Temptations came on stage and immediately launched into How Sweet It Is, The Way You Do The Things You Do, Aint To Proud To Beg, Get Ready before even taking breath.
The show was absolutely electric and was possibly the finest performance I have witnessed from the group.
The set was extended from Wednesday's dismal showing at The Apollo and we were treated to an extra 25 minutes and another four songs namely 1997's grammy award-winning Stay, Run Away Child, Cloud Nine, Pyschadelic Shack.
The show finished all too soon but after 90 minutes The Tempts had made the £26 ticket price more than worthwhile, an excellent performance and I'm pleased that I didn't allow the appearance at The Apollo to sour my experiences of this group.

MADISON (WKOW)-- With the heavy amounts of rain water on city streets, urban flooding is becoming a concern in the Madison area. Sewer systems are designed to handle heavy amounts of water, but many wonder if they can keep up with so much rain.
Madison city officials say the system has been able to handle the rain water from the past few days, but depending on how much rain falls Wednesday night and Thursday morning, flooded streets and homes are a possibility.
"If we get a heavy downpour that could be a much different situation," Assistant City Engineer Michael Dailey says.
When it comes to flooded streets, officials say there are two main causes. Those concerns include drain blockage and flow patterns. So far, both appear to be non-issues. The sewer system is keeping up with the rain water and drains are staying clear.
"Most of the debris and plugging that could occur has occurred and has already been cleaned up by us or flushed out of the system," Dailey says.
However, with more than 275 miles of sewer and thousands of drain inlets, there's bound to be a few problem areas with water backing up into the streets.
"I would tell people that if they have a storm sewer inlet by their house, go out and take a look at it," George Dreckmann of the Madison Streets Department says. "If there are leaves or other things there, you should remove it."
People who live in low areas should pay even more attention to their property. With the ground saturated with rain water and melted snow, there's not much it can do to stop the running water.
When you add that to the fact that Madison lake levels are higher than normal, things could get bad quickly. It all depends on the amount of rain that falls.
"It takes a day or two for that water to rush down from the North and start flowing through the Madison chain of lakes," Dreckmann says.
The city of Madison has decided to make sand and ready-to-fill sand bags available to all city residents. Homeowners who live near lakes Mendota and Monona or live in low-lying areas are at an even higher risk of flooding.
Sand can be picked up at one of seven locations across town including:
-Engineering Service Building (1600 Emil Street)
-Esther Beach Parking Lot (2802 Waunona Way)
-Olin Park Parking Lot (1155 Olin-Turville Court)
-Olbrich Park Boat Launch Parking Lot
-Spring Harbor School Parking Lot (1918 Norman Way)
-Tenney Park Beach Parking Lot (1254 Sherman Avenue)
-Warner Park Beach Parking Lot (1101 Woodward Drive)
Residents are advised to bring their own shovels for loading the sandbags. They are also responsible for loading the sandbags themselves.

"warm and concerned"
It came with the home when built in '98 as with so many in this area. It is builder grade equipment and evidently cheap for the builder to install. After 5 years, refrigerant had leaked (who knows how long). The technician (not a York Dealer) remarked at how common this was with York products. Many have leaked. Then to find out that legally it could only be recharged once (Ozone depleting refrigerants). It might just be me, but the central air system I grew up with never had issues like this and certainly not as early as this. Trying to milk this through one more season to try to get the most of the compressor (ave. life 10-12 yrs.) when you would likely have to replace the system anyway, but with energy prices where they now are, I might have to bite the bullet. You can bet I will gamble with something other than a York.

I purchased 4 commercial AC/Furnace units for the roof of my commercial building. Over $32,000,for all 4 units. All of the units break down on a regular basis. I average a service call every 6 weeks. Circuit boards are total junk. Wires are undersized, melt and short out. Paint peels, metal rusts. Total junk!!! One bad unit is one thing, four bad units is another. Total junk. If you want copies of my purchase docs and service call docs, feel free to contact me at 302 593-5904

We bought the unit and have had trouble every year. The unit would leak freon every year. The installer would fill it back for the first 3 years, then started charging. The condenser was replaced, the coil was replaced, the fan was replaced, and dye was put in but could not find the leak. One of the tech�s said that they had this problem before and had to replace the whole unit. Once it was out of warranty the installer washed their hands of it and I had to go through the regional director. They replaced the condenser again and charged us allot for labor. Now we still have a leaky system and now a independent dealer found the leak in an after market coil that was put in. Now York says its not our problem and the original installer won't return phone calls.

One of the most astonishing things about the U.S. labor market is its ability to absorb new workers. Approximately 107 million Americans now have jobs, a 50 percent increase in the last two decades. But during that same 20- year period, our 18-to-64 population grew only 40 percent.
Part of the rapid workforce growth since 1965 has been because of the huge number of baby boomers who needed their first job. The 77 million babies born between 1946 and 1964 came of working age roughly between 1965 and 1983.
Simultaneously, millions of American women who in a previous generation would have stayed home decided to look for work. The result was not just an expansion of our labor force to absorb the extra boomers, but a major shift in our society.
In 1960, only a minority of women at any age were in the paid labor force. About 43 percent of women worked when they were young, but from age 25 to 34 less than one-third (30 percent) even held a part-time job. As they -- and presumably their children -- grew older, many women returned to the labor force briefly before retirement.
The peak period for labor force participation of women in 1960 was at age 45 to 54 when nearly half (49.8 percent) of them either had a job or were looking for one. By 1970 more women were in the labor force, but the pattern of dropping out during childbearing years remained.
Fifteen years ago, a minority (45 percent) of women aged 25 to 34 even looked for paid work, and the peak working ages still were 45 to 54. In that group slightly more than half of the women worked outside their home.
Today the pattern of working women in the labor force is so totally different you would think it wasn`t the same country. The peak of labor force participation for women is now in the very age group where it used to be the minimum -- 25 to 34.

25,130 Americans asked Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to take responsibility and halt his Bureau of Land Management's out of control wild horse program. He didn't respond and now we're calling on him to resign.We have until 5 PM ET on Thursday November 29, 2012 to get as many signatures on this petition as possible. Help us by spreading the word. Ken Salazar has been a disappointment throughout his tenure as Interior Secretary, but his recent failure to adequately address allegations that his Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was complicit in the sale of 1,700 federally protected wild horses to a known kill buyer is unacceptable.
In September, a ProPublica report exposed Salazar's BLM for selling "truckload upon truckload" of captured wild horses to the kill buyer, Tom Davis, who purchases U.S. horses and sells them to slaughterhouses in Mexico. Davis just happens to be a neighbor and business associate of Secretary Salazar and his ranching family in Colorado.
After hearing this news, the American Wild Horse Preservation Campaign (AWHPC) put together an open letter signed by 25,130 Americans which that encouraged Secretary Salazar to halt the BLM's program until he could ensure that no more wild horses would ever again be sold for slaughter. On November 13, AWHPC supporters delivered the petition to Secretary Salazar's office at the Department of Interior and requested a response by November 27. AWHPC has not received a response.
The BLM's wild horse roundups continue full speed ahead, even as video has surfaced online that shows wild horses with BLM brands being offloaded at a slaughterhouse in Mexico. And Secretary Salazar continues to claim he has "no recollection" of Davis, even though they grew up in the same small town and Davis has hauled livestock for Salazar's ranch. In addition, the BLM's sales of wild horses to Davis skyrocketed after Salazar became Interior Secretary in 2009.
Even the White House responds to petitions with 25,000 or more signatures, but Secretary Salazar couldn't manage to respond to our letter signed by 25,130 Americans in a reasonable amount of time. Meanwhile, wild horses continue to be rounded up, removed from their homes on our public lands, and are in danger of being sold for slaughter. Secretary Salazaar has the power to change this out of control federal program, but he refuses to do anything about it.
Sign and share: For failing to responsibly manage his BLM's wild horse program and engage in an honest dialogue with citizens concerned about his policy judgments, I'm signing this petition calling on Ken Salazar to resign as Interior Secretary.

Good Dog: Pit Bulls
|Posted by Liddy on May 22, 2012 at 11:15 PM

Pit Bulls are among one of the sweetest breed of dog, yet their reputation today is the exact opposite of just that. Pit Bulls have been labeled vicious, and it's no fault of their own. People are to blame.
There are two things that can work in favor of, or against the Pit Bull:
1) The Pit Bull is an extremely powerful breed.
People who wish to exploit this aspect of the breed are not usually the types of people you'd want to be living next to. Because of the Pit Bulls incredible stamina and strength they are used as pawns in the cruel underground blood-sport of dog fighting.
2) The Pit Bull is extremely Loyal and ready to Please.
Having this quality is usually a plus in any breed of dog, but because of the Pit Bulls strength, people with bad intentions can turn a good dog into a dangerous dog, and many have done just that.
To most people, having a dog that will both protect you, and be your best friend is a treasure. But, to those who seek to exploit these qualities it can be disastrous, and it's always the Pit Bull who pays the price. So, before you jump on the BSL bandwagon and start pointing your finger at the Pit Bull, remember that any dog, all dogs behave as they have been trained to by their Guardian.

Breaking Investigation Reveals Birds Killed by the Thousands
|Posted by Liddy on April 30, 2012 at 5:50 PM

PETA may not be particularly popular because of some of their choice ADs, but their investigations have uncovered some of the most shocking cases of animal cruelty ever seen. The following is a PETA investigation on Pigeon Racing:
"In April 2012, PETA released a 15-month undercover investigation—spanning five states—into some of the largest pigeon-racing operations in the U.S. PETA documented massive casualties of birds during races and training, discovered rampant killing of unwanted birds and abusive training and racing methods and exposed a multimillion-dollar illegal gambling industry.
PETA's investigators found that in many races, which can be as long as 600 miles, more than 60 percent of the birds get lost or die as a result of extreme weather, predators, electrical lines, hunters, or exhaustion. Races that are particularly fatal—where only a minuscule percentage of birds makes it home—are referred to as "smash races." In one such race in Queens, New York, only four out of 213 birds returned. At the 2011 American Racing Pigeon Union Convention, only 827 out of the original 2,294 birds survived training flights, only 487 of whom completed the 325-mile race by nightfall.
View the exclusive undercover photos
Birds who aren't considered fast enough and aren't wanted for breeding are typically "culled"— killed by suffocation, drowning, neck-breaking, gassing, or decapitation. PETA documented one world-renowned racer as he admitted that he generally has to buy 12 pigeons for breeding before he finds one he can use in his loft and just kills the others and their offspring. Another racer told investigators that when starting out in pigeon racing, "The first thing you have to learn—how to kill pigeons."
Like cockfighting and dog fighting, pigeon racing is all about gambling. PETA penetrated racing organizations in which a quarter of a million dollars is bet on a single race and discovered that pigeon racing generates an estimated $15 million a year in illegal gambling proceeds and involves felony violations of federal gambling, racketeering, and tax-evasion laws. The high stakes also lead some flyers to cheat: Investigators found that several racers' birds tested positive for illegal performance-enhancing drugs, and one racer admitted to shooting federally protected raptors.
Use PETA's simple form to contact Attorney General Eric Holder and urge him to take action to stop cruel and unlawful pigeon races right away"

Let's hope that with support from the public we can put a stop to these cruel, inhumane races.

Dear Sunna, I just wanted to write a quick email to thank you and your company for providing a great experience for our group. When I contracted with GJ Travel, I was a little uneasy because I was not sure exactly what I was getting. But after this past week, I am very happy with the decision that I made. Our guide, Klaus, was a very professional and congenial man that had a great rapport with our students. He was amiable and was bursting with interesting information as well as great anecdotes that filled the time. The meals were extraordinary. All three dinners were fantastic, allowing our students to experience Icelandic cuisine, all the while providing ample sustenance after long days of touring. The hotel, though not luxurious, provided exactly what we needed in terms of a clean place to lay our heads as well as an expansive buffet to start our days off. The buses were large and clean and allowed our students comfort while traversing the Icelandic countryside. Lastly, every email encounter I had with you was comforting as you continuously solved any issue, answered any question, and provided thorough details as we moved ever closer to our departure date. In closing, Iceland was the zenith of natural beauty that I had heard it to be, but our Icelandic experience was made all the better because we were provided that experience by GJ Travel. Thank you again. If I make it to Iceland again, it most certainly will be with your company and, hopefully, Klaus Jenter. Best regards, James Tallman, AP/IB History Teacher, Indiana / USA / Dated 03.04.2017

Education Session to Bridge the Adolescent, Adult Divide in Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment
Dr. Ann S. LaCasce Photo courtesy of Sam Ogden
Dr. John P. Leonard
Session Chair Ann S. LaCasce, MD, of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, said the session will be a case-based format, with the presenters discussing high- and low-risk cases of Hodgkin lymphoma in adolescents and young adults.
"The session will focus on the differences between how treatment is approached depending on whether patients are being treated by adult or pediatric oncologists," she said. "Patients aged 15 to 24 years are often seen by oncologists who treat adults when they are diagnosed, but they may also be treated by pediatric oncologists. The approaches can be quite different depending on where the patients are treated."
Other presenters during the session include John P. Leonard, MD, of Weill Cornell Medical Center, New York–Presbyterian Hospital, who will discuss the adult approach to the cases; Kara M. Kelly, MD, of Roswell Park Cancer Institute, who will address the pediatric approach; and David C. Hodgson, MD, MPH, FRCPC, of Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, in Canada, who will talk about the contrasting radiation therapy approaches to Hodgkin lymphoma.
Dr. LaCasce said that presenters "will consider the differences in the chemotherapy backbone for these patients, the differences in the way that radiation may or may not be used depending on the situation, and the long-term toxicity of treatment."
Both the pediatric and adult oncologists, she said, "have been innovative in how they design studies and have had great outcomes. We are figuring out how to work together. We want to work on long-term survival so that these patients are not dealing with heart disease and secondary cancers in 30 years."
Radiation Therapy
Hodgkin lymphoma is among the most curable forms of childhood cancer. However, although the 5-year survival rates for children and adolescents with Hodgkin lymphoma is approximately 98%, long-term overall survival can decline from delayed effects of therapy.
Radiation therapy is associated with an increased risk for late mortality; second malignancy; cardiac, endocrine, and pulmonary dysfunction; and abnormality in growth. Researchers are working to develop strategies that can maintain survival and avoid long-term morbidity of therapy. These strategies are often different than those used in an adult population.
Both adult and pediatric oncologists are now using less radiation for younger patients, given the significant toxicity associated with high radiation doses. Dr. Hodgson will discuss the novel techniques in radiation, such as fixed-field intensity-modulated radiation therapy, response-based radiation therapy, use of 3D CT-based radiation therapy planning, and volumetric image guidance, which are strategies than can reduce the radiation dose to normal tissue and decrease later adverse effects.
Dr. Hodgson was lead author of the International Lymphoma Radiation Oncology Group treatment guideline for pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma.1 The guideline, issued in March 2015, describes methods for identifying target volumes for radiation therapy and how to implement the concept of involved site radiation therapy to define radiation target volumes and limit the dose to normal organs at risk. To accurately assess the extent and location of disease, both contrast-enhanced CT and fluorodeoxyglucose-PET (FDG-PET) are required.
The guideline outlines how evaluation of response to chemotherapy influences the targeting of the lymphoma and the volume of normal tissue treated by using the capacity to fuse CT and FDG-PET images taken before and after chemotherapy to CT imaging taken for radiation therapy planning.
According to Dr. Hodgson, the guideline has the potential "to reduce the radiation therapy breast dose by about 80% and the heart dose by about 65% for an adolescent girl with Hodgkin lymphoma. This shift is more personalized treatment planning tailored to the individual patient's disease and will optimize risk–benefit considerations for our patients and reduce the likelihood that they will suffer late effects from radiation therapy."
Treatment Regimens
Appropriate selection of a treatment regimen to avoid late toxicities will be a major point of discussion of the cases during the session. Clinical trials are investigating promising new therapies, such as brentuximab vedotin and new checkpoint inhibitor drugs targeting PD-1.
"We want to use the best drugs upfront so that we can avoid using radiation as much as possible and reduce the toxicity associated with some of the standard chemotherapy drugs," Dr. LaCasce said. "Clinical trials with this younger population are looking at combining brentuximab vedotin with currently used chemotherapy regimens, and we hope to test PD-1 inhibitors in the future."
Dr. Kelly has written that establishment of a standard of care approach to management of Hodgkin lymphoma in children and adolescents is "complicated by the recognition that long-term overall survival declines in part from delayed effects of therapy and that there continue to be subgroups of patients at risk for relapse for which prognostic criteria cannot adequately define."2
This challenge, she said, has brought various strategies that are intended to identify the best balance between maintaining overall survival and avoiding long-term morbidity of therapy, "often representing strategies quite different than those used for adults with Hodgkin lymphoma."
Targeted therapies have been introduced in both the frontline and relapsed settings, she said, but there remain significant barriers "in the development of new combination therapies, necessitating collaborative studies across pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma consortia and in conjunction with adult groups for the adolescent and young adult population with Hodgkin lymphoma," she said.

Terrorists Convicted
Post your comment at the end of page
11th July, 2007
Forty years might be a deterrent for any future would-be terrorists as 'martyrdom' evidently isn't. The two remaining suspects will face a re-trial.
"VERY PRECISE RESPONSE" threat to UK re Rushdie Knighthood
Meanwhile we have been threatened by Al-Qaeda's deputy leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, over the Rushdie knighthood. Mentioning the Queen and Tony Blair it threatens a 'very precise response' against this country. The government has replied that we will not be intimidated. A master of publicity, al-Zawahiri's threat may be a sign of desperation.
"In the recording the al-Qaeda second-in-command said the group was preparing a "very precise response" to the British knighthood." Watch AQ video here
10th July, 2007
Four 21/7 terrorists were convicted yesterday with two more verdicts still awaited. Questions are being asked about why one of them was permitted to sip through the police net. Systemic failings? No! Surprise me. Blair's 'police state' just couldn't hack it, eh?
3rd July, 2007
It should come as no surprise that well educated doctors are in the spotlight over the attempted car bombings over the last few days. Terrorists come in all shapes and sizes. None of it surprises me, anyway.
See Melanie Phillips' thoughts on this. She wonders, as did I in an earlier posting, why there was not greater security awareness in the last few days, since we had already been warned. She also alludes to the real problem – identified here and by a reformed terrorist in the media over the weekend. It is religious fanaticism, NOT Muslim poverty nor "Blair's Iraq".
Wake up time, folks!
30th April, 2007
After the longest terrorist trial ever on mainland Britain, 13 months long, five British Al Qaeda trained terrorists have been jailed for life. The jury deliberated for 27 days, the longest period of time ever in our legal history.
Some lack of co-ordination between MI5, MI6 and the Police has been highlighted from the evidence. And, as might be expected THIS has become much of the story.
I've been amazed and somewhat disturbed at the media's obsession with this. Yes, it seems that MI5 and the West Yorkshire Police allowed two of the terrorists to slip through the net. The obvious consideration here is that if they hadn't missed this link, the London bombings of July 7th 2005 might have been avoided. "Might" is the operative word.
We really DO NOT need to whip ourselves up over this, or are we adopting some strange cultural customs from other places?
For goodness sake, the shortcomings of MI5, MI6, The Police, Secret Services and the Government should NOT be the story!
WHAT is WRONG with us Brits?
- The story is that British citizens have been convicted of conspiracy to murder indiscriminately, in large numbers.
- The story is that British born and/or raised Muslims became disciples of Al Qaeda whilst living in our communities.
- The story is that they trained in Pakistan to kill the people of the UK, the country which had sheltered them and provided as the judge said today, "everything they had". They had "betrayed the country that has given them their every chance in life." They exploited the freedom.
- The story is that in February 2003, BEFORE the invasion of Iraq (NOTE, Blair blamers) young radicalised Muslims such as these were plotting and training to kill you and me, our kids and our government.
- The story is that, as the Judge said in his summing up, the teachers of hate who lurk in the shadows are no more than "masters of cowardice".
- The story is that these radicalised Islamist terrorists have a clear agenda – "The time for jihad is coming soon", Omar Khyam said, "get brothers into each and every field."
- The story is Jihad: Violent holy war against perceived oppressors. "Thirty brothers on a British airways plane", according to the terrorists' taped recordings.
THEIR TARGETS, as disclosed in court:
- Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent
- Biggest nightclub in central London, say Ministry of Sound
- Synagogues
- Trains
- Pubs
- Flights
- Public Utilities
- Prime Minister's Questions, Parliament
With £105.75 worth (600kgs) of ammonium nitrate fertiliser stashed away in storage, the plotters might never have been uncovered if it hadn't been for the company's suspicions.
THAT should be the story.
We need to thank the storage people, the security services, police, yes and government.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke said today that the trail led straight back to Al Qaeda. They were "intent upon committing mass murder against their fellow citizens".
July 7th 2005 suicide bombers were not, it seems, "clean skins" as originally thought, but linked to some of today's convicted men.
In 2004 the Met Police Commissioner was Lord Stevens. Today he said, "You don't get it 100% right. God willing that will never happen again."
His words haven't quelled calls for independent inquiry from the opposition parties and those whose family members were killed in July 7th 2005.
MI5 publishes its account online
MPs' report into what MI5 knew, May 2006:
- [Khan and Tanweer] were not categorised as investigative targets because, on the basis of the available intelligence, there was no reason to suggest they should be investigated above other more pressing priorities at the time.
How Omar Khyam and Mohammed Sidique Khan were linked in the UK and Pakistan.
On Panorama tonight the complexities of the various relationships between terrorists was made clearer. As were the relationships between those charged with protecting us against them. I know whose side I am on.
The Secret Services' first sighting of Omar Khyam was in March 2003. By end of the year the Secret Services were still in the dark about what Khyam was up to.
Omar Khyam, the ringleader, stated that he wanted to become the next Osama Bin Laden. This was BEFORE 9/11.
