Toronto's vegan dog owners feeding pets veggies, too
I'd be VERY curious what the RAW feeders on our forum have to say about this.
Humans are omnivores - but i have heard that dogs are carnivores AND some sources say omnivores.
I've been a vegetarian for 15+ years with no ill effects....but dogs?...something instinctual (because I haven't done 'real' research) or my little voice, suggests to me that this is just flat out silly - that dogs are meant to eat meat.
Yes, we can force them to be vegan or vegetarian and they won't die...but this seems to get my spidey senses tingling. It doesn't feel right to me.
Am I off-base? Opinions?
Please tactfully EDUCATE or IGNORE posters you don't agree with.
Please PM me & Include URLs and post #'s for any issues and it's my pleasure to help.
I'm firm - but fair. Mind the Rules and enjoy your stay.

If presented with the choice of filet mignon or a bowl full of carrots and broccoli.. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say which dogs would choose time and time again. That's all I need to know to convince me that dogs are carnivores first and omnivores second.
Can a dog do well on a vegan diet - the article seems to suggest such, although I'd be curious to see a full blood panel done up on those dogs to see if anything was off balance.
I guess is a personal choice... I mean, if humans can live in a vegan diet why couldn't the pups?
But I know that when I put the bowls down with meat and all sorts of veggies, these end up on the floor and meat is the first thing gone. I am no expert by any means, but my whole life I heard that dogs were carnivores and they needed the meat in their diets.
Even I am not a big meat eater, but I do appreciate the nice steak once in a while

I'm defintiely not on board with this one. I know there have been a couple of "vegan" lines introduced recently, such as Ellen Degeneres' vegan dog food by Halo, but what I would like to see is a long term study. Dogs are meant to eat meat and, though they will eat vegetables, they do not digest them well. They have to be steamed then mashed to get much benefit and in these vegan lines, I'm sure they're highly processed, which would basically negate anything benficial. You can home cook the veggies, but then you run in to issues like having to supplement. Dogs also need Taurine for a healthy neurological system, and Taurine comes from meat and fish (organ meat has higher levels of Taurine). Sure, you can supplement, but why? I'll take natural nutrition for my babies (especially Nookie) any day. When you feed a diet that requires adding vitamins/minerals/amino acids due to the lack of "complete" nutrition, you always have the possiblity of deficiencies.

I have some friends that where vegetarian and they had a St Bernard dog that was feed a vegetarian diet too. The dog was healthy and there was story about dog in a news paper. Tragically some crackpot felt bad for the dog and poison it! I met the dog and he looked great, I was surprised as I did not think a dog could live on a vegetarian diet. I became a vegetarian in the late 60's and it was really hard to find restaurants that had any vegetarian menus. I was very healthy, I do eat chicken and fish now but had no red meat or pork or lamb since the late 60's.

Learning in a community
Michael Rudloff ('15)
Williamsburg, Va.
Why JMU?
I liked the campus. When I toured, I got a really good feeling. And I knew a good many students from my high school who are Dukes.
Why did you choose the Huber Learning Community?
I learned about the Huber Learning Community at Choices. I did research on the community and then applied. I'm pre-med, so it's a good fit.
Describe the academic life at JMU.
Rigorous and challenging. I took AP classes in high school and was a serious student. So, I entered JMU with the intent to do well, but I had to work hard. I take academics seriously. I study, put a lot of time into it. What I like about JMU is that the help is here. You can go to a professor, a help center; but you have to apply yourself. My advice is—want to do well. If you do, you'll find the help to succeed.
What is your service-learning experience?
I volunteer with the Valley AIDS Network. There are only three people working in the office, so I pretty much help with everything I can. They work with clients, conduct national surveys and AIDS-awareness programs, and organize events to help raise funds. I created a volunteers' manual. I also helped update medical files ensuring the accuracy of written medical records and electronic files.
This has been an eye-opening experience. I've come to realize the complex financial and governmental processes involved in HIV/AIDS programs. It is really expensive to treat the disease. You can set up plans and support for someone, and then they decide not to avail themselves of the help. It makes you realize the true complexity of this health issue as you see the effects of individual decisions, financial concerns and economic realities all wrapped up together.
What's your life like outside of class?
I took club swimming my first semester and really liked that. I belong to the American Medical Students Association. It's been really helpful for a pre-med student. You get to know sophomores and juniors who are ahead of you in the program and offer good advice. We also have a number of speakers come to our meetings who really help you understand the breadth of the health career field.

Feds Issue Threat: No Fly Zone for Texas?
"Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Justice upped the ante in a high-stakes political game of chicken. Lobbying against pending legislation in the Texas legislature which would criminalize any searches conducted without probable cause, U.S. Attorney John E. Murphy sent a letter to a few high-ranking members of Texas' government warning against promoting the bill and threatening a complete closure of all flights to and from the state." Revolution is the only solution. A fairly peaceful sort, to my mind, would take the form of a complete and total tax revolt. Not one dime more than necessary to keep one's home. Outside of that, refuse to pay them anything you can get away with not paying them. Shop online. Buy used. Trade, barter. Make it, repair it. Grow it. Cook it, bake it. Those things, and more, can help you avoid sales tax. Keep income below federal tax line to avoid federal taxes.

Perhaps these "TENTH Amendment Center" folks should read the "supremacy clause", Article VI.2, of their "organic" U.S. Constitution, paying particular attention to the part that says, "...any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary NOTWITHSTANDING." [Emphasis added]
- In its letter to state officials, U.S. Attorney John E. Murphy warned:
"Under the Supremacy Cause of the United States Constitution, Texas has no authority to regulate federal agents and employees in the performance of their federal duties or to pass a statute that conflicts with federal law."
Thanks, John.

Gee, for one shining moment, it looked like a politician might actually stand up. It looked like, for one moment, that somewhere in America, some people might actually put liberty and justice and individual freedom before personal convenience. Ah, well . . .
If Americans had any backbone, they'd stop flying. The airlines would either get rid of the professional perverts or face bankruptcy.
Well, gee, if individuals who call themselves United States' citizens had any backbone, they "might actually put liberty and justice and individual freedom before personal convenience" and withdraw from membership in any STATE that perpetrates these sorts of things. But don't hold your breath, because those who will actually withdraw their consent to be members of the STATE will be told by the other crabs in the basket, "It can't be done." In other words, those "crabs" who choose to remain in the basket will "pretend", along with their masters, not to "recognize" that one has actually gotten out of the basket.

If I had to assign a grade to the August ishing action it would have to be "C-minus." While a few of our fisheries were good, if not great, depending on the day you hit them, overall the fishing in our area was just so-so if not a little disappointing.
August is rarely thought of as a prime fishing month; however, there are a number of gamefish species that historically make strong showings during this otherwise mediocre month. Three of these species, tarpon, king mackerel and jack crevalle, for whatever reason, failed to show in the numbers we've come to expect.
Some speculate that the reason for the low numbers of the aforementioned species is related to cyclical migration patterns, others suggest that it is related to unusual weather trends, and still others say it has to do with changes in bait stocks. Really it is anyone's guess.
Despite lackluster action with some species, a few of our other fisheries were on fire. One was the tailing redfish action on our inshore flats.
I generally don't do a lot of "skinny water fishing" and it is certainly not my area of expertise but I had the opportunity to join Capt. Charlie Beadon on a couple of flats trips last month. All I can say is I was blown away by the number of reds we saw and caught.
At one point we saw four reds actively tailing in an area the size of a card table and a dozen others nearby. From talking with other inshore anglers it appears that what I saw while fishing with Capt. Beadon was not far from the ordinary for the month.
Another highlight of August was the bite going on the offshore live bottom areas. These naturally occurring limestone outcroppings located 30 to 70 miles offshore were teeming with life and producing some incredible catches of grouper, snapper, trigger fish, black sea bass and porgies.
The good news is that not only will the tailing redfishing and offshore bottom fishing remain great in September but a number of other fisheries will fire off as well. The increase in action will be related in large part to cooling water temperatures related to noticeably shorter days and cooler air temperatures. As the water begins to cool in September it will trigger certain species to feed heavily in anticipation of the approaching winter, other species will migrate into our inshore waters to take advantage of large stocks of shrimp and mullet, and other species still will congregate on our nearshore wrecks providing some great action.
Look for a good number of bull redfish to take up residence in Port Royal Sound by mid month. There is also a good chance that noticeably absent tarpon population will make a late season showing, arriving on the heels of the mullet migration that typically occurs in mid to late September.
The juvenile redfish that inhabit our estuarine waters are expected to start congregating in larger schools and becoming a little more predictable in their daily routine across the next month.
Bottom line… even though August left a little to be desired in regards to fishing action, September is a new page in the book and holds some real promising possibilities.

Malcolm Turnbull has revealed speeds the Coalition's National Broadband Network (NBN) could achieve, with speeds of 25Mbps to 80Mbps expected on its version of the NBN, based on the broadband experience in the UK.
Turnbull, the shadow minister for broadband, told <i>7:30</i> last night the Coalition would use a mix of technologies, such as fibre-to-the-premises for new developments and what Turnbull is calling fibre-to-the-cabinet, a term used in the UK to describe fibre-to-the-node.
Turnbull said most people will achieve speeds of 50Mbps, while those farthest away from the node will experience speeds of 25Mbps and a third of people will achieve speeds of 80Mbps, based on the experience in the UK.
"I'll be very conservative and I would say three quarters [of people] would be either between 50 megs and 80 megs and … those people at the edge may be in the 25-megabits-per-second area," he said.
Turnbull was reluctant to put a definite price against his proposal, but stated using copper for the last mile to homes 1000m or less from the node could save three quarters of the cost of the NBN.
"The cost differential between fibre-to-the-cabinet and fibre-to-the-node, on the one hand, and fibre-to-the-premises, which is what the government is doing … [has] a ratio of about four to one," he said.
However, when asked whether this would mean the policy would be $10 to $12 billion, Turnbull reiterated previous comments that the Coalition was unable to cost a figure for its plan unless NBN Co was transparent about contracts.
Turnbull also labelled the current NBN a failure, stating new housing estates do not have infrastructure in place to be NBN-ready, with homes in new estates still without an NBN connection eight months later.
"So the project is failing…" he said.
"The problem is it is costing far too much and it's taking far too long. So my challenge is to find a way of recalibrating it so that you achieve the objective of giving people broadband that's fast enough to do everything they want to do, now and foreseeably, and will cost a lot less and be much faster to deploy.
"And so that's why we're saying [is], 'Don't be hung up on one technology. Use fibre-to-the-premises where it makes sense, in new estates [and] in geographies where it's cost effective. But don't be hung up on that as the only way to go. And if you can get very high speeds with fibre-to-the-cabinet then – as indeed you can and telcos around the world are doing that – then why not do that?'"
Turnbull yesterday launched a broadband survey to determine where the worst performing areas are in Australia for the Coalition to determine which areas need to be prioritised for the NBN roll out.
Communications minister Senator Stephen Conroy, lambasted Turnbull for launching a broadband survey without providing a firm NBN policy.

Even if people didn't know it existed before today they've benefited from the SSF. That's where I, Marli, and many of the others who chime in with IDs for your photos get our information. Think about it - how many of us have spent hundreds of dollars on guide books? Make that thousands for some people. And certainly thousands for the gear to take all those nudi photos needing IDs!

Excellent Eric! Too much data is already inaccessible and it would be great for this to be kept running. Perhaps it might be possible to seek some sort of sponsorship?

SANDUSKY - Veterans and their families placed wreaths Saturday on the graves of soldiers at the Ohio Veterans Home who died in the service of their country.
The Lake Erie Shores Blue Star Moms organized the laying of more than 900 wreaths as part of the national Wreaths Across America event.
Blue Star Moms is a federally chartered nonprofit organization to support the nation's armed forces and its veterans. The Lake Erie Shores chapter serves the communities of Erie, Huron and Sandusky counties.
A ceremony took place beforehand to introduce members from each military branch who would place a wreath on the memorials and to recognize the service of military personnel.
"It's often said a person dies twice: once when they stop breathing, and again when they are no longer remembered," said Cheri Spurlock, a Blue Star Mom member and a Wreaths Across America location coordinator. "These wreaths are symbols to those who served or who are serving that we remember their sacrifice."
After the ceremony, the volunteers walked outside and placed wreaths on the graves of men and women who died serving their country. The wreaths would normally be placed on the older graves first, but not this year.
"We started at the newer graves this year, because those families are still mourning their loss," Spurlock said. "This is for them, too, so they know people care about their sacrifice. I have a daughter who's a veteran, and it's nice to know her service will be remembered."
The volunteers were encouraged to say the veteran's name aloud and to thank them for their sacrifice after placing the wreath.
"All these veterans here have given their lives in service for their country," Army veteran Ralph Bago said. "We're out here to honor them and make sure they're not forgotten."
Funds for the wreaths came from community donations, with $15 paying for one wreath.
Spurlock hopes in the future to be able to place a wreath at every single grave of the more than 3,000 veterans buried at the home.

ALA Media Relations
For Immediate Release
September 12, 2007
Public libraries are sole source of online employment and education information for millions of Americans
Internet use at public libraries flourishes but technical, financial support lags
CHICAGO – Ever-growing patron demand for computer and Internet services in U.S. public libraries has stretched existing Internet bandwidth, computer availability, and building infrastructure to capacity, according to a new study "Libraries Connect Communities: Public Library Funding & Technology Access Study 2006-2007," conducted by the American Library Association (ALA) and the Information Use Management and Policy Institute at Florida State University (FSU).
"Today, most businesses and organizations use the Internet as a primary method of finding and interacting with job applicants," said Alice Snell, vice president of Taleo Research. "But I frequently hear from retailers concerned that potential applicants may not be able to apply for jobs online because they lack Internet access. One of the things I tell them is that all public libraries offer free access to computers and online information."
Libraries offer a range of support to job seekers including assistance searching for jobs, technology training, writing résumés and cover letters, filling out online job applications, and establishing e-mail accounts so they can monitor the status of their applications.
The American Library Association is the oldest and largest library association in the world, with more than 65,000 members. Its mission is to promote the highest quality library and information services and public access to information. www.ala.org
The Information Use Management and Policy Institute at Florida State University conducts research that focuses on the information user, and the interaction of the user with information products, services, policies, technologies, and organizations. Of special interest is the planning and evaluation of networked and other information services. The Institute also conducts information policy research on current issues at Federal and state levels related to public access, privacy, records management, and use of information in electronic forms as well as other topics. www.ii.fsu.edu
Guided by the belief that every life has equal value, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives. In developing countries, it focuses on improving people's health and giving them the chance to lift themselves out of hunger and extreme poverty. In the United States, it seeks to ensure that all people -- especially those with the fewest resources -- have access to the opportunities they need to succeed in school and life. Based in Seattle, the foundation is led by CEO Patty Stonesifer and co-chair William H. Gates Sr., under the direction of Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett.

If the Blackhawks are going to be successful this season, they know they need to make the United Center a house of horrors for opponents.
There were plenty of scary-looking costumes in the stands Friday night on Halloween, but the result on the ice was anything but frightening for the Hawks as they snapped a two-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Dallas Stars before a crowd of 21,212.
Cam Barker, Brent Sopel, Andrew Ladd and Dustin Byfuglien all scored their first goals of the season and Patrick Kane added his sixth to help lift the Hawks' record to 4-0-2 at home and 4-3-3 overall.
"We can't wait for the top guys, [ Jonathan] Toews and Kane and [ Patrick] Sharp, to score every night," said Sopel, whose goal midway through the second period proved to be the game-winner. "We need to be a balanced team from start to finish and from front to back and have everybody contributing."
Dallas took a 1-0 lead on Loui Eriksson's first-period goal before Barker and Kane put the Hawks up 2-1 after one.
Barker blasted a power-play slap shot from the point off Brian Campbell's pass past Dallas goaltender Tobias Stephan to tie it. Kane scored after taking a feed from Martin Havlat, who was streaking down the left side of the ice, and firing a one-timer past Stephan to give the Hawks the lead.
Dallas tied it 2-2 early in the second on Steve Ott's goal before Sopel struck. Kane found the defenseman open at the top of the left circle, and the veteran teed it up and fired it past Stephan on the stick side. It was Kane's second assist of the night.
"I thought after the first period we played the way we like to play," Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "Coming out with that first-period lead was big, and [goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin] gave us a chance holding us in there.
"I liked the way we competed. We generated a lot of offense."
Ladd got his first when the winger picked up a loose puck and put a wrist shot past Stephan from inside the left faceoff circle in the third to make it 4-2, and Byfuglien finished the scoring soon after when Dave Bolland's pass hit him in the skate and bounced into the net.
Friday night's game was the first of a stretch of seven games in which six are at home. After that stretch the Hawks take to the road for six games, so they realize they need to use the opportunity to pick up some points in the Western Conference race.
"We want to play well here," Ladd said of the United Center. "We have the fans behind us, and we should have lots of energy. It's something we want to take pride in and make it tough for teams to play here."
Hawks penalty-killers were strong, stopping all five Dallas opportunities.
"We made too many mistakes and gave Chicago a lot of open breaks," Stars coach Dave Tippett said.
"The turnovers hurt us, and we did not play a smart road game."

A tutorial for making realistic sails on LEGO ships.
About this creation
This tutorial can also be useful on wooden model ships, but these sails are easier to make and they also look a bit easier, and therefore I think they are more suitable to a LEGO ship than on a more detailed wooden model ship.
Anyway, here we go.
In this tutorial I will mainly focus on the main topsail because if you know how to do that one, all the other sails will be a piece of cake as well.
The first thing when you want to make sails is of course looking for reference.
There are some good books about ships but there are also many good drawings on the internet.
Then you can (if you want to) put a piece of cotton or other cloth (linen for example) in a bucket with tea or coffee. I used black tea.
Coffee will probably make it more brown than thea. At this point it could also be nice to wrinkle the cloth a bit so the sails look a bit more hand-made/worn out.
After soaking, it's smart to iron the sails so you don't have all the wrinkles in it.
Next thing is to decide the scale of the sail. In this tutorial I'm making the sail twice as large as on the picture:
In that scale you can make the outlines of the sail:
Then you can add vertical lines. On minifig illusion scale 1cm between each line looks realistic.
But Greenhair and Perfectionist are using more space between them and that doesn't look bad either.
On the right half of this sail I used a darker pencil than on the left halft to show you the difference.
I think the lighter half looks the best.
Now on to the horizontal lines, which you can see here:
Note: not all sails have these horizontal lines. It depends on the ship you're making which ones do and which ones don't have them.
The space between each line is about 1cm, so that makes 2cm on my sail.
Next thing is too add spots on the place where usually are ropes. I believe the ropes are used for taking in the sails.
Adding all those ropes is too much work IMO (although it has been done), so to give the impression of them, I add these dots. Here are the ropes on a picture:
When you're finished with that, the next thing is too make the outlines brown.
This is not neccesary, but it looks quite nice. It resembles the rope on the edge of the sails, like you can see on the bottom of this picture.
Be sure to make these lines quite thick, so it's easier when you're cutting the sails out.
Of course, you want all the lines to be visible on both sides and on exactly the same place.
When you're very good in measuring, you can just draw the same thing on the other side.
Another (perhaps easier) way is to place the cloth on a window (or a light table), so you can easily trace the lines.
Even easier is to trace a few important dots on the edges, so you can connect them on your table. Drawing on a window is quite hard.
Now you can cut the sail out.
One of the last things is to varnish the edges. This is to prevent the sail from unraveling.
I always use revell varnish, but perhaps nail polish or glue works fine as well.
If you dont want the sails to be modular, you can also put glue all over the sails and let it bend in a certain shape like wind blowing in the sail.
Use about this much:
And the final thing of course is to sew the sail on a yard, and put it on your ship:
Finally, for making jib sails, there are different line patterns:
The one on the left is the most common. The one in the middle is quite rare, and the one on the right is more modern (clipper era and later).
Comments and questions are always welcome.
Good luck!

I'm building a 1:64 scale model of the British cutter "Lady Nelson" and will be adding sails. I've read many instructions on making sails and I think I will add some of what you described with one other example. I like the "simplicity". Thank you.

Let's face it; Linux's chance of winning the desktop war is now slimmer than ever. Mobile devices like tablet computers and smartphones have started to pull a lot of people away from using traditional PCs. But I think we shouldn't blame the fate of the Linux desktop solely on these devices because personal computers are far from being irrelevant and is still preferred by many, including myself, for getting things done. So why do I think Linux is still not winning in the desktop space?
Before I'll answer that question, I would like to explain that winning doesn't necessarily mean beating Windows and Mac in terms of market share. We all know that those two tech titans have all the money in the world to get what they want. For me, the Linux desktop is already winning if it could reasonably increase its usage share. I know it is quite hard to measure the desktop market share accurately, but the way I see it, Linux is moving at a very slow pace.
The main reason why the Linux desktop is still not winning is the lack of "focus". Looking at the Linux desktop right now is like watching a person with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). To know what I mean, let's take a look at Ubuntu.
Considered by many as the most popular Linux distribution, Ubuntu is a favorite among new-to-Linux users and for those of us who want a hassle-free desktop distro. In a span of a few years, it has successfully improved the whole Linux desktop experience by keeping things simple, fast, stable and usable, and by providing a good online technical support, forums, and documentation.
I still love Ubuntu but the project's lack of focus is frustrating. Instead of moving forward, I think they are moving the opposite way. The last two releases and the upcoming version of Ubuntu gives too much attention on tweaking/modifying and beautifying the desktop user interface instead of simplifying and improving performance and stability. Also, it seems like it is always starting from scratch with every releases by constantly changing the default UI, IM client, photo viewers, etc.
Before, I have criticized Ubuntu for trying to become like a cheap imitation of Mac OS X. Now, seeing the Natty Narwhal (Ubuntu 11.04) with its Unity shell interface made me think that I was indeed right.
I think it is not wrong to copy Apple if you only copy the way they do things and not the actual things or products that they do. The Ubuntu team could imitate how Apple slowly enhanced or polished the Mac desktop environment to perfection while focusing on performance and intuitiveness without sacrificing simplicity and without rushing to drastically change things. A lot of users love the GNOME desktop environment for its speed and simplicity so why not try to make it even more simple and faster instead of adding bulk like the Unity shell just to make it feel and look more like Mac OS X.
One of the best advantages of Ubuntu and other Linux distributions over Mac and Windows is that it can integrate or preinstall useful desktop applications like office suites, graphics editors, multimedia applications, and many others without cost. So why not focus on helping develop and improve those applications so that users won't have to look elsewhere.
I could go on and on with my semi-rambling but I hope you get my point by now. Forgive me if I put too much emphasis on Ubuntu. We can't deny the fact that it is the face of the Linux desktop at the moment hence it is only significant to show it as an example.
Why do you think the Linux desktop is still not winning? You may share with us your thoughts via comment.

Carmelita Mendes e Adal no pós-desfile da Espaço Fashion no Fashion Rio EM DOIS MOMENTOS NO FASHION Rio.
No outro dia a top russa Anastasja Kondratjeva me reconheceu: "he is the boy of yesterday" Eu mesmo! No backstage
The supermodel with the fastest rise to the top of the industry is indisputably Natalia Vodionova, converting the cachet of a Calvin Klein contract into full-on celebrity via her Vanity Fair profiles and Only Girl July 07 Vogue cover.
She has been a model with one of the most impeccable booking records of recent times with every single campaign being as prominent and as blue chip as they come (Prada, Prada fragrance, Gucci, Chanel, YSL, Missoni, Vuitton). Add to that major covers and a near monthly Only Girl rotation in US Vogue and Vogue Paris at her height and then the grand ring of a Lancome contract. Flawless!
What words do you use to invoke the specialness of Linda Evangelista? One of the greatest models of all time; her drive, beauty, chameleon quality and fashion intelligence has made her the grand dame of modeling. We hereby nominate her for a title. Lady Linda Evangelista sounds right, no?
Beauty this refined is the definition of timeless and with Maybelline signalling on Christy Turlington's radar once more, expect to see this classic face, literally EVERWHERE.
Polly Mellen was right. Sometimes the girl just needs to be left alone to grow into herself. Karen Elson has certainly grown into the stature of an iconic, unique and absolutely essential figure in the business.
Is Naomi Campbell the most relentless beauty of all time? One season she's laying low, treasuring her private life and the next, gearing up to give the naysayers yet one more shock. It's legendary.
Raquel Zimmerman has taken her mutable beauty, her absolute professionalism and her ability to inspire editors, photographers and designers to the ultimate heights of her career. This is the face of longevity, grace and inarguable elegance. Of such things are icons made
The more womanly she becomes, the more beguiling she grows. Besides, she is one the great money machines of modern model times and one can rest assured that her bookings were not inexpensive. Ample proof that when great beauties grow up they acquire a priceless aura
With that landmark Estee Lauder contract, the one that platformed her in a massive worldwide ad buy alongside Carolyn Murphy and Liz Hurley, previous MODELS.com Cover Girl Liya went global. Since her 2005 US Vogue cover broke ( clients like Oscar de la Renta have kept her career fire burning.
There is a feeling that fashion will always need and that is the ideal of an obscenely rich, ultra-sexy, super-woman pulsing with an almost dismissive beauty. Nobody gives that feeling better than Ms Kass and for that reason she remains one of the most bankable faces (and bodies) in the business right now. Just ask the raft of clients who continue to sign her on as being vital to their brands. FW07: Just Cavalli FW08: Kenzo, Michael Kors
Vuitton's love for Eva has kept her in the spotlight season after season and paired with her editorial explorations with the likes of Inez and Vinoodh, Eva's legacy as a great model is completely sealed.
Because she is a legendary beauty. Because she is a Brazilian national treasure. Because the career has been a dream.

Lisle, Illinois ~ Masters Tournament champions, U.S. Open winners, golf commentators and professional coaches – what do they all have in common?
They've all made appearances at the Benedictine University President's Invitational Golf Outing, an event that gives area golfers the chance to rub elbows with some of golf's greatest and play a championship course – all while contributing to a good cause.
Over the last few years, participants have met Tom Watson, the six-time PGA Tour Player of the Year, played a round of golf with the illustrious Lee Trevino, attended a clinic conducted by professional women's golfer Natalie Gulbis and had Hank Haney, Tiger Woods' former coach, provide golf tips and pointers on their swing.
And on June 24, at Cantigny Golf in Wheaton, golfers who were lucky enough to purchase tickets met entertaining CBS Sports commentator and former golf professional David Feherty.
Feherty enjoyed a successful professional career with 10 victories worldwide and more than $3 million in prize money. He was a regular on the European Tour with victories including the ICL International, the Italian Open, Scottish Open, South Africa PGA, BMW Open, Cannes Open and Madrid Open. He captained the winning Irish team in the 1990 Alfred Dunhill Cup and played on the European Ryder Cup Team in 1991, an experience that rejuvenated his fervor for golf.
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to meet a golf legend while playing a round of golf, then the President' Invitational Golf Outing, which is held every year in late June, is something you're going to want to purchase tickets for up to three months in advance.
Tickets for this year's event sold out unusually early due to the popularity of the event.
The outing is also the University's largest fundraiser for scholarships, providing qualifying students with the funding they need to achieve an affordable, values-based private education. Last year, the event raised a record amount and was able to help more than 160 students in their quest for a Benedictine education.
While more funding has been raised than ever before, needs continue to outweigh available resources as students struggle to afford the cost of college in a weak economy.
In 2012, requests for scholarship applications from students tripled and the year before, 96 percent of the University's freshmen students received some form of financial aid and 56 percent of all Benedictine students depended on need-based aid.
Attending the golf outing is not only an incredible experience – it's an investment in the lives of future medical professionals, business leaders, scientists, educators, problem solvers and community leaders.
Donations to this worthwhile cause are still being accepted. If anyone is interested in donating to the University, would like to be a sponsor for next year or be notified about the next guest and buy tickets, contact Deb Smith, director of University Development Events at email@example.com or (630) 829-6080.
Benedictine University is an independent Roman Catholic institution located in Lisle, Illinois just 25 miles west of Chicago, and has branch campuses in Springfield, Illinois and Mesa, Arizona. Founded in 1887, Benedictine provides 55 undergraduate majors and 15 graduate and four doctoral programs. Benedictine University is ranked No. 1 among the country's fastest-growing campuses between 2000-2010 in The Chronicle of Higher Education's list of private nonprofit research institutions, and Forbes magazine named Benedictine among "America's Top Colleges" for the second consecutive year in 2012. Benedictine University's Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program is listed by Crain's Chicago Business as the fifth largest in the Chicago area in 2012.

Lesson 1: Creating Database Objects
This lesson shows you how to create a database, create a table in the database, and then access and change the data in the table. Because this lesson is an introduction to using Transact-SQL, it does not use or describe the many options that are available for these statements.
Transact-SQL statements can be written and submitted to the Database Engine in the following ways:
By using SQL Server Management Studio. This tutorial assumes that you are using Management Studio, but you can also use Management Studio Express, which is available as a free download from the Microsoft Download Center.
By using the sqlcmd utility.
By connecting from an application that you create.
The code executes on the Database Engine in the same way and with the same permissions, regardless of how you submit the code statements.
To run Transact-SQL statements in Management Studio, open Management Studio and connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine. If you are unfamiliar with Management Studio, review the first two tasks in the Tutorials.
This lesson contains the following topics:

Beetcake: A Kinda Tribute to George Carlin
I realize now that the situation is my fault, but it's not something I have done as a parent. It's genetic. I never went to bed either. Indeed, I got up so many times in a night, that my parents locked me in my room.
Which explains a lot.
It doesn't explain what Beetcake is or what it has to do with George Carlin. Let me explain.
George Carlin, may he rest in peace, had this great routine called "A Place for My Stuff." Somewhere in the long rant about having to have more stuff to put your stuff in, he worked in a bit about cleaning out the fridge and running across something so old, you can no longer tell what it is. "Is it meat? Is it cake? Maybe, it's MEATCAKE."
Which rhymes with beet cake. Which was supposed to be beet brownies, but the recipe seems to defy me in every attempt to make it brownies. Three bites into the current version, the moist, dark chocolately cake goodness, I realized to hell with brownies, it's a good cake.
It is NOT, however, a deceptively delicious cake. No. I did not puree the beets, friends. There is no vegetable sneaking around this place. This is most definitely beetcake flecked with red bits and all.
Sure, you could lie to yourself and claim the health benefits of dark chocolate, or using half the sugar because of the sweetness of the beets, or even the whole vegetable-in-my-dessert must be healthy game. You could. But that would be deceptive.
This is just good. And a good way for any beetphobes to use up those beets in the CSA bag.
You Can Beet Chocolate Cake
Ah, frosting. I hate frosting. Strange but true. I will only eat real butter cream, whipped cream, cream cheese frosting, or ganache. Use this honey-chocolate ganache to top the cake. Because that grocery store pure-sugar-shortening-crap is nasty and you deserve better.
One bite. Ask yourself: Is it beet? Is it cake? Maybe, it's BEETCAKE. Farewell, Mr. Carlin. Thanks for the laughs.
Dark Chocolate-Honey Ganache
Looking for this recipe? It will be part of an upcoming book with Ali at Cleaner Plate Club.
Need more "Vegetable as Dessert?"
Trust me, it's all good, no sneaky:
Chocolate-Zucchini Bread
Carrot-Raisin Cupcakes
Vanilla-Sweet Potato Pie with Pecan-Brown Sugar Crust
This post is part of the weekly Carnival of Recipes.

Honestly, we have twins. I swear to god. Jess does not like the sleep at night thing. She likes her naps, but getting her down to sleep at night is a biiiig process. Like you, I can understand why; when I was a kid, I hated the thought of missing out on something the grown-ups were doing. Probably has something to do with why I became a reporter - terminal nosiness...
- Almost Vegetarian said...
I love the five spice added to the recipe. I make a hot chocolate with ancho powder and it gives a wonderful depth of flavor (okay, that sounds good, but what we really like is the little kick of heat!).
(And as for bedtime, I was up at 3:00 in the morning last night watching the Olympics. It may not get better, but eventually they grown up and move out and it is their issue, not yours.)
Cheers, again!

My son ended up reading the bedtime book to his dad as he would be the one who fell asleep!
This recipe sounds great, will definately give it a go this weekend.

XWork ParameterInterceptors bypass allows OGNL statement execution
Who should read this
All Struts 2 developers
Impact of vulnerability
Remote server context manipulation
Maximum security rating
Developers should immediately upgrade to Struts 2.0.12 or upgrade to XWork 2.0.6
Affected Software
Struts 2.0.0 - Struts 184.108.40.206
Original JIRA Ticket
Meder Kydyraliev, Google Security Team
OGNL provides, among other features, extensive expression evaluation capabilities (http://www.ognl.org/2.6.9/Documentation/html/LanguageGuide/expressionEvaluation.html). The vulnerability allows a malicious user to bypass the '#'-usage protection built into the ParametersInterceptor, thus being able to manipulate server side context objects.
So, for instance, to set #session.user to '0wn3d' the following parameter name can be used:
('\u0023' + 'session\'user\'')(unused)=0wn3d
which will look as follows once URL encoded:
As of XWork 2.0.5, being part of the Struts 22.214.171.124 release, the ParameterInterceptor was changed to provide a whitelist mechanism for acceptable, non malicious parameter names. Therefore, in the example above, the given parameter will be ignored. Nevertheless there are still cases where the whitelist mechanism does not prevent the context from being manipulated, thus XWork 2.0.5 and Struts 18.104.22.168 do not fix the issue satisfactorily.
As of XWork 2.0.6, being part of the Struts 2.0.12 release, the ParametersInterceptor applies stack changes to a copy of the original value stack, for which context parameters which might be subject to manipulations are cleared beforehand.
You can either obtain a copy of the released XWork 2.0.6 jar as a drop in replacement for the XWork 2.0.4 / 2.0.5 jar used in Struts 2.0.9 and above, or download a full release of Struts 2.0.12, which contains the corrected XWork library.

After 19 years directing in area theaters large and small, you'd hardly call Kimberly Senior any kind of sudden success. Still, it's hard to think of another Chicago director with a remotely comparable 2013-14 dance card. Senior has one show lined up after another, from Evanston to Broadway.
First up this fall is her Northlight Theatre production of Amy Herzog's acclaimed drama "4000 Miles." That's followed by the much-anticipated "Hedda Gabler" at Writers' Theatre in Glencoe, starring Kate Fry in the title role. Then Senior heads west to the La Jolla Playhouse in California for the world premiere of "The Who and the What," the latest drama from Ayad Akhtar, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Disgraced" was directed by Senior in Chicago.
"Disgraced," first produced to great acclaim by the American Theater Company, now appears set for the 2013-14 Broadway season, although various little things, like money and a theater, still are pending. Assuming it all comes together, as is likely, this would be Senior's Broadway debut.
Enough? Well, she's also signed up for the New York premiere of "The Who and the What" at the Lincoln Center, and, also this very same season, Herzog's "The Great God Pan" at the Next Theatre in Senior's hometown of Evanston, where she lives with her husband, the designer Jack Magaw, and her two young children.
Many directors rise with a playwright. Senior has risen with two at once. Aside from a brief North Shore excursion into the world of the late Henrik Ibsen ("Gabler"), Senior will be spending the entire coming year interpreting either Akhtar or Herzog.
"I feel very lucky to be getting jobs almost entirely on the backs of two writers," Senior said, wryly, the other day. "I think with Ayad (a Pakistani-American) there's something genetic, in that my dad is Syrian. I told Ayad today that I do my best work for him. He told me that he is happiest with me. There is just something we get in each others' work. There is nothing delicate between us."
And Herzog? "That's also really personal. I also respond to her work with my gut. Not academically or intellectually. With my gut. That's not always practical for a director. Her work really terrifies me."
Senior, 40, hails from New Jersey. She came to Chicago as an intern for the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, an internship that "turned out not to totally exist." But she did meet Curt Columbus and Mary Ann Thebus, two loquacious actor/directors in that orbit, who talked her out of ever going back to New York. "They kept telling me that Chicago was the best," Senior said.
She took their advice, working in a slew of small storefront venues. Actually, she still does. "Honestly," she said, "I've really never felt like, 'When is it going to be my turn?' I've always felt like I've had a lot of turns. In Chicago, you can feel the same pride in your work at Strawdog (Theatre) or the basement of the (now defunct) Cafe Voltaire. Critics have the same expectations for shows in those places. So do Chicago audiences. And then the artists speak to that. That is what is remarkable and unique about this town."
Senior would appear to be a good candidate to run a theater one day. Many freelance directors want that so badly, they can taste it, always. A steady gig is generally preferred. By most.
"No," Senior said. "I don't like being in charge. I know that sounds interesting for a director, and someone who also is a teacher and a parent, but I really do prefer to be a facilitator and a partner. And I love the life I have with my kids."

Treat yourself!
Hilary Duff stopped into Sprinkles in Beverly Hills on Wednesday with son Luca and a girlfriend to stock up on some tasty treats.
Duff – who "especially loved" sampling eggnog frosting shots – was "very sweet" to fans who recognized her, an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
Wearing black yoga pants and a white sweatshirt, the actress, 25, ordered a dozen cupcakes including one black and white, one chocolate coconut, one cinnamon sugar, two peanut butter chocolates, one pumpkin, two red velvets, one vanilla milk chocolate, one German chocolate, one triple cinnamon and one chocolate peppermint.
But that wasn't all – Duff also made sure to bring home four doggy cupcakes for her pampered pooches.

These funds combine the money of many investors to buy many kinds of investments, like stocks, bonds, real estate, etc. Index mutual funds invest in companies that are part of a published index like the Standard Poor's 500. In a mutual find, a fund manager trades the fund s underlying securities to realize a gain or a loss and collects dividends or interest income .
There is risk because no one insures your investment. If the price of the fund drops, you lose money. But mutual funds can be safer than individual stocks. Why? You are spreading your money around in a mutual fund diversifying. Buying lots of different stocks and bonds lowers your risk. The theory is that if one investment drops, the other stocks and bonds will hold their value or do well enough to make up for the loss.
With mutual funds, you have freedom. You can withdraw any or all of your money at any time. However, at the time you sell your shares (the number of units you own in the fund), you are paid what the shares are worth that day calculated at the end of the trading day. Their worth may be higher or lower than what you paid for them.
Mutual funds are professionally managed by fund managers with lots of experience investing money. They bring wisdom to what and when the fund buys and sells. As experts, they are taking care of your money, and their past performance can be measured. But you have to remember that their past performance does not guarantee success in the future.
Mutual funds need money to operate to pay the fund managers and to do business. The fund gets this money by charging fees to anyone who invests in the fund. Think of it as paying dues to belong to the fund.

You can gather important temperature information quickly and safely using infrared thermometers. But, you should know some key principles first.
Although infrared technology is sophisticated, using a portable infrared (IR) thermometer is simple. To get a reading, you point the device at the target, pull the trigger, and read the LCD. But, how can you be sure that measurement is accurate or meaningful?
IR thermometer facts. First, IR thermometers measure only surface temperatures. They can't read through panels, covers, or glass. To measure shiny or polished metal surfaces accurately, you must cover a target spot with masking tape or black paint. Also, airborne particles (steam, dust, and smoke) and aerosols reduce accuracy.
Second, consider the ratio (D:S) of distance from the spot you are measuring to the size of that spot. What is the D:S ratio of an IR thermometer? A higher D:S means better resolution - the ability to measure smaller spots from greater distances.
Third, the range of temperatures you can measure with an IR thermometer depends on the model. As the Table shows, this varies among performance categories. So, it's important to know if your IR thermometer matches the application.
Basic techniques. There are three ways to take IR readings:
• Spot measuring. Determines the absolute surface temperature of an object.
• Temperature differentials. Compares two separate spot measurements either in different locations or at the same location over time.
• Scanning. Identifies hot spots when you hold the trigger while moving the unit along the target.
Spot measuring is useful for identifying bad connections or improper process temperatures. Temperature differentials allow you to identify voltage imbalances. They reveal problems with motors, transformers, and grounding systems. You can scan a distribution system or panel to find hot spots, the cause of a breaker trip, or harmonics problems. Scanning reveals clogged air filters, overheated motors, and bus in need of preventive maintenance.
Monitoring and trending equipment temperatures is critical to preventive maintenance efforts. Because of its ease of use, low cost, and short training curve, IR thermometry is a complement to IR thermography and other predictive maintenance practices - especially as new accessories and features (such as data logging) make IR thermometers even more versatile.

OMAK The Okanogan Valley Soroptomist Club's Sharing Tree already has dozens of presents underneath it, but 25 tags remain for people to donate gifts to local children in need.
The deadline for gift-giving has been extended to Friday, Soroptomist member B.J. Bleakney said.
The Sharing Tree is at North Cascades Bank, 721 Okoma Drive.
721 Okoma Drive, Omak, WA
"We couldn't do it without the bank," Bleakney said. "The employees do a big part of it and we couldn't do it without them."
The Tree of Giving, a project of The Chronicle to benefit the Support Center's shelter, is set up in the newspaper's office at 618 Okoma Drive.
It will continue to accept gifts until Thursday.
Recipients' names remain anonymous; organizers say there is no duplication between the trees. A donor can take a tag, buy one or more gift on the wish list, and return the gift and tag to the appropriate tree.
The newspaper's tags have all been claimed.
