Pearl Claw Clip Reversible Ponytail – Gw06 – Ash Blonde 18/22
10 in stock
The flat base of the hair claws are the part that is seen on the surface of the hair. And it is this part that is usually embellished. There are stone and beads that are often used as part of the same. Hair styling is often done in the form of a bun or any other design. And in this there are hair pins that are used to hold it in a design. There are simple and plain designs in hair pins that are available.
A hair claw may be a first on some of you but actually I expect you all have one or even two at home! It's just the name you may not be accustomed to. Commonly known as the crocodile clip, due to the spiky and sometimes sharp set of teeth which grip and hold the hair each side. Again they come in all sizes and designs. I would recommend a hair claw if you are wearing your hair in an up-do.

These hair accessories are shaped like a smaller sized comb. The claws of the comb are bound at one end by a flattened base that is used to insert the hair claws into the hair to affix it.

Jude Law & Sienna Miller Split
Jude Law and Sienna Miller have split.
A rep for Jude confirmed the news to JustJared.com, saying simply, "I can confirm that Jude Law and Sienna Miller are no longer in a relationship."
"It is mutual and amicable and they are still friends," a friend told People, adding, "It was an entirely an end-of-the relationship decision. It had run its course."
Jude, 38, and Sienna, 29, were engaged to be married in late 2004 but have been on-again-off-again ever since.

Job Search / Re: How important is the name really?« on: November 03, 2006, 09:00:53 AM »
It does help, but of course my goal is not to take a low paying job...at all. In fact, I want to go into M&A Law, Securities, basically business law in general. I also wouldn't mind being part of a corporation that is just starting and growing with them. But it is not at all my goal to work for the government, and getting a clerkship hasn't yet crossed my mind. I won't have any debt when I leave, but I am not going to take any job that pays less than 75K just because I am debt free. The only reason I ask is that I have a great possibility of transfering, but I want to make sure that would be a good choice. I only got a good scholarship to Brooklyn Law (besides Hofstra of course), and the best schools I got into simply did not offer any money at all. I just am not sure that the reason why I would be turned down is where I went to school. And in terms of every school wanting to improve their rankings, of course that it true. BUT Hofstra has a brand new Dean (who is in fact my Torts prof) and he has already started the improvement process. I actually am a part of it, because I among many of my classmates, are the recruits he wanted to get so much. My class is filled with Ivy Leaguers and people who scored within the 160's range. They are there for the scholarships. Hofstra had been a top 100 school for a long time until last year's report, which was heavily criticized by the ABA by the way.
Thanks for your replies. I really appreciate it.

San Francisco, CA, October 6, 2007
— The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), The University of Texas at Austin's Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, and the United States Botanic Garden announced the development of a new rating system for sustainable landscape design, called the Sustainable Sites Initiative. The announcement took place at the 2007 ASLA EXPO in San Francisco, California.
Just as the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED® rating system measures a building's environmental impact, the Sites Initiative will measure the sustainability of designed landscapes of all types, including public, commercial, and residential projects. The U.S. Green Building Council is lending its support to this project and plans to adopt the Sustainable Sites metrics into its LEED® system once they are finished.
"This will provide the missing link for green building standards," said Nancy Somerville, Executive Vice President and CEO of ASLA. "Developers, designers, owners, and public officials will now have the tools at hand to significantly increase sustainability in the built environment, from interiors to landscapes."
"We are acutely aware that the best guidelines and standards in the world will not be adopted if they are not cost-effective for builders and landowners," said Frederick R. Steiner, FASLA, Dean of The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture and a member of the Wildflower Center Advisory Council. "Sustainable landscapes have enormous environmental benefits, and any additional costs should be easily recovered over the life of the project in energy, water, and other savings."
"The U.S. Botanic Garden is extremely excited to be a part of the Sustainable Sites Initiative", said Holly Shimizu, Executive Director of the Garden. "We recognize that through partnerships and collaborations we can make a much greater impact on promoting and guiding sustainable design, implementation, and management of gardens, landscapes, and all outdoor spaces. This initiative will help balance the built and natural environments for the long-term health of communities nationwide."
Additional program partners include the U.S. Green Building Council, the Environmental Protection Agency's GreenScapes Program, the National Recreation and Parks Association, the American Society of Civil Engineers' Environment and Water Resources Institute, the National Association of County and City Health Officials, the Nature Conservancy's Global Invasive Species Initiative, and The Center for Sustainable Development at the University of Texas at Austin. For more information, visit www.sustainablesites.org.

SHAME ON YOU! Traitors of Christ, other Judases! who have no doubt been thrown some silver pieces by the Antichrist Jews.
Have you so easily forgotten that "the Hebrews at different periods have regarded our Lord Jesus Christ, the Apostles, various Popes, the Councils and Saints of the Church as hostile to the Jews? And for a very good reason, because they regard everything as hostile to the Jews, which blames or combats their crimes and conspiracies against mankind." Both our Lord Jesus Christ as well as the Apostles and other Catholic authorities censured and fought against the blackmail of the Jews.
- Sunday, September 11, 2011
So that true and faithful Catholics may not have the slightest doubt of testimonies that have been recorded, here is what the jewish writer Joseph Dunner writes in his book "The Republic of Israel":" For every sect believing in Christ, Jesus is the symbol of everything which is healthy and worthy of love. For the jew he is from the 4th century onward the symbol of Anti-semitism', of slander, of violence and of violent death." If the Israelites regard our Divine Lord as a symbol of "Antisemitism" is because they describe as "Antisemites" those who blame and combat their disgraceful deeds.
- Sunday, September 11, 2011
You, Transalpine Redemptorists, posing as priests of God and taking on the name of the 'sons of the Most Holy Redeemer', are announcing now that the God-murdering people are your brothers? Please read the discussion our Lord Jesus Christ had with some Jews, as the Gospel of John relates:
Chapter VIII, Verse 39: "They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them if ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God; this did not Abraham. 44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar and the father of it." 47. He that is of God heareth God's words;ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. 57.Then said the jews unto Him, Thou are not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?" 58. Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.59. Then took they up stones to cast at him;...."
So now...you have decided that these people who took up stones to cast at your Mighty Lord and Saviour and were always seeking to kill him, are your brothers?

We read this hissing comment:"So glad to see this post with the pictures" by Barb Schoeneberger, an obvious jewish name that never popped up previously on your comments profile. Please tell us HOW MUCH of stolen money from the Christians have they filled your pockets to betray Our Lord God?
- Sunday, September 11, 2011
In Chapter XXIII of the Gospel of Matthew our LORD JESUS in reference to the Jewish leaders, who opposed him so much, describes the latter as hypocrites (V.13,14,15 etc) "full of iniquity" (Verse 28), foolish, blind (Verse 17); children of them who killed the prophets (Verse 31). The said chapter of the Holy Gospels ends with this express complaint of our Lord Jesus Christ against the jews, who denied the Messiah and resisted Him; and because of its importance we quote completely:
"Verse 33. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers! How can ye escape the damnation of hell? 34. Wherefore, behold, I send you prophets, and wise men and scribes: some of them ye shall kill and crucify: and some of them ye shall scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city.
Please tell us WHERE did our Beloved Lord tell us that the Jews, enemies of God and of all mankind, are 'our brothers'?!?!?
- Sunday, September 11, 2011
Better than any other, Christ, the Lord, here reveals to us the murderous and cruel instincts of the Jews. This is understandable, because in the revelation which He made to His favourite disciple, and which the latter has written down in the "Apocalypse" he called the Jews, who denied their Messiah, the "Synagogue of Satan", an equally appropriate as well as divine description, which in the ensuing centuries was often used by the Holy Catholic Church as description for criminal and conspiratorial Jewry, which since its muder of the Son of God has not ceased to commit every kind of crime against God and mankind.
- Sunday, September 11, 2011
As true followers and faithful of Christ, all Popes of the Holy Catholic Church (before the fatal Vatican Council II when the smoke of Satan had entered and Rome became the seat of the Antichrist)frequently used the expression "Synagogue of Satan" to identify modern Jewry; for one would with difficulty find a more fitting appellation than this, which had already been called as such by Christ, our Lord. It is therefore not to be wondered at,that the jewish writer Joseph Dunner in his work "The Republic of Israel", gives the assurance that the jews regard christ as the "Symbol of Antisemitism", all the more as many Christians and gentiles have been accused of "Antisemitism" on account of far milder attacks.
- Sunday, September 11, 2011
It is therefore dangerous, that the good-willed Christian clergy allow themselves to be torn away by those, who are not. To let loose general and unclear condemnations of "Antisemitism", which exposes them to the danger of condemning even CHRIST, our Redeemer, his Apostles, the Saints and Popes, described by the "Synagogue of Satan" as "Antisemites" because the Jews afterwards attempt to use such condemnation as a new carte blanche which justifies them in furthering every kind of crime, offence and conspiracy against mankind and to secure freedom from punishment for themselves, so that the former cannot even effectively defend themselves against them.
We advise you to urgently read the book "The Plot against the Church" by the penname of Maurice Pinay, from which these extracts have been taken. The true authors are the faithful princes and prelates of the Holy Catholic Church of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christ, our LORD GOD said: "You are either with Me or against Me. You cannot be both."

"We hope that it is clear that the Transalpine redemptorists want every Jewish person to look on us as their brothers." Rreahhllly !!! So what on earth are you doing in the Catholic Church? You are proving yourselves time and time again to be FALSE.
If Pope Pius XI has said that Abraham is our forefather and that racism is unacceptable among Christians, he did NOT say that the Jews are the brothers of Christians. God forbid! For our Lord Jesus Christ said, as the Gospel of St John relates: Chapter VIII, Verse 39: "They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them if ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard of God; this did not Abraham."
It is VERY clear therefore from the words of Our Divine Lord JESUS CHRIST that the Jews do NOT have Abraham as their forefather. Although Pope Pius XI has said that racism is unacceptable among Christians, it is on the other hand strongly existant and brutally applied in Judaism. So, Transalpine Redemptorists, if once again some new ideas are emerging in your heads and you find all of a sudden that the Jews are your brothers, therefore remove these sheep's clothing for the wolf in you has shown its face.

"But he willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour? And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead.
And it chanced, that a certain priest went down the same way: and seeing him, passed by. In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him; and seeing him, was moved with compassion. And going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine: and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him; and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return, will repay thee.
Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among the robbers? But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go, and do thou in like manner."
(Lk 10, 29-37)
Every human person is our brother.
Thank you Transalpine redemptorists for your statement.

In times past I was swayed by the arguments of our anonymous poster. I was a supporter of Bishop Williamson. It is a point of view that still gives me pause, given its undeniable roots in certain aspects of Catholic Tradition. However, I'm not at all attracted by the spirit of schism that seems always to be associated with such arguments, so I've decided to keep my distance from them.

Hatred of the Jewish race.
Tell me, wordy Anonymous, where does our Lord tell us to hate any *race* of fellow human beings by sheer force of... their genetics?
Where does our Lord command us to hate human beings created in the likeness and image of God Himself, holding within them their *God-given* human dignity ~ based on their race?
Antisemitism is racism ~ and therefore it is WRONG and goes sharply against the Law of God. Yes, the Jews *are* our brothers because they are **fellow human beings** created, like us, by the same God and descended, like the rest of us, from Adam and Eve.
Every human being on this planet is the brother of every other human being. No amount of HATE can erase that fact.

A beautiful post Father! It is so sad to see that so many so called "traditional Catholics" do not know the basics of our faith/religion. Christ CHOSE to die for the sins of the world-yours and mine. Yes, certain Jews hated him but so did many gentiles, as do people today. But other Jews accepted Yeshua as their Messiah. St. Peter our first pope was Jewish! So were all the other apostles the first priests and bishops of the Catholic Church-excepting St. Luke! Sure, professed Jews today might live sinful lives but so do many people who call themselves Catholics- Nancy Pelosi, and John Kerry for example. Instead of being so filled with hate, we must pray for the conversion of our Jewish brothers and sisters to Yeshua the Messiah- to Catholicism.

I happen to think that it's a brilliant move. I enjoy a late night talk show. Jay is a pleasant guy and pretty funny in a predictable/traditional sort of way. I really like Letterman. He's hilarious in an predictable/non-traditional sort of way. (AND on Dave's show, Drew Barrymore once flashed him! Not many opportunities to see a fine pair of perky young breasts on The Tonight Show, that's for sure!) But the thing with Letterman is that the damn thing starts at 12:30am! Who am I? Elvira? I'm always amazed at how many people watch his show because it's on so dang late. It's an hour long, that keeps you up until 1:30am! Do you people not work? Why don't you have jobs? Are you still living in your parents basement? I don't get it.
So having Jay on at 10pm I think is great and I hope it works out for him. And Conan O'Brien is taking over The Tonight Show hosting duties starting tomorrow and I hope that works out well for him too. Because all of it kind of got me thinking about how long it took us to come up with a decent late night talk show line up that has been fairly stable for quite some time now. It wasn't always like this. We didn't always have Jay and Dave and Conan to rely on. There were a bunch of late night talk shows that were just crap and were, thankfully and mercifully cancelled rather quickly. But man, did they suck!
Dateline 1989. "The Pat Sajak Show". Yes. Pat Sajak. Of "R S T L N E" fame. The host of 'Wheel of Fortune.' That Pat Sajak. Pat tried his hand at the late night scene for a while there. And when I say 'for a while' I mean both the length of time that his show was on the air AND the length of each episode. It was 90 minutes long! 90 minutes! Of Pat Sajak! Did anyone not notice that 'Wheel' is a mere 30 minutes? With commercials, we're talking 22-23 minutes. Figure camera time divided three ways between Pat, Vanna and the contestants and you're looking at 7 minutes face time on camera each! But for some inexplicable reason, someone thought that what America needed was almost 13 times more Pat Sajak! Why? Why would we want that?! He talks to each contestant on 'Wheel' for what? 30 seconds? Why would anyone think that he'd be really good at filling up the other 88 1/2 minutes of a 90 minute show where the host interviews people? Maybe if the show had rotating guests that just came through on a conveyor belt and he could say a few words as they glided past his desk, maybe that would have been more comfortable for him. Short of that, it was pretty much doomed from the start.
There was 'The Magic Hour' with host Magic Johnson. That lasted for 40 horrible shows over an unbearably long span of 8 weeks. Naturally, one would think that if someone used to be a remarkable championship NBA player that they would be a natural choice to host a talk show! There's just so much talking and conversational interactions between players on the court throughout an entire NBA game, he should have been a natural, right?
Yeah, not so much. But you know what the problem was, right? Exactly! That not enough black actors and actresses would commit to go on the show and instead preferred to go on Leno or Letterman, that is correct and that is why it failed. Wait. That's not wha....Oooohhhh. That was Magic's reason for the failure. OK. So what I'm really saying is: It just sucked.
40 shows? That's it? Well, even with 40 shows, at least he garnered some ratings! Unlike John McEnroe who, unbeknownst to me or my memory, had a talk show in 2004. While it technically lasted for 6 months, it averaged somewhere right around about 75,000 viewers per night. No, I did not forget a zero. Seventy-five thousand. That's it. His Nielsen Rating number? 0.00. That's pretty sad. Then again, giving him a show in the first place was pretty sad to start with. But I guess there must be something within producers everywhere that just makes them think that if someone used to be a successful athlete that they would be a natural at hosting a late night talk show. Hey! Producers! I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Those journalism degrees and communications degrees that a large percentage of professional athletes (the ones that even bothered to finish college) have? Yeah, they don't mean anything. Those are just the easiest majors for athletes to declare, so they do. They didn't learn anything from it. Obviously! Look at Magic and McEnroe!
Another failed attempt at a late night talk show that could last longer than six months was a venture by a one Keenen Ivory Wayans of "In Living Color" and of Now Defunct Talk Show fame. According to TV.com the show was "...a party-themed talk show with a hip, urban edge. The set resembled a nightclub and the atmosphere was rowdy. The show wasn't hip enough, as it was canceled within the year." "Within the year" seems pretty generous, as I can only find reference to there being just eleven shows. ELEVEN? I think milk sitting on your counter lasts longer than eleven days. I'm pretty sure that the same milk would last longer than eleven hours, which would be the total amount of time the show spent on the air. If you can't outlast a dairy product, you really need to rethink what you're doing. For reals.
The biggest disaster of the failed late night scene would have to be, hands down, Chevy Chase. Chevy is a likeable enough guy when he's doing the one thing that doesn't make him unlikeable and that is not being himself. Apparently, Chevy as Chevy is not fun and people don't like it and they don't like him. It would seem that even Chevy doesn't like Chevy when he's just being Chevy, as he never seemed comfortable, his hands were noticeably tremoring when he was interviewing (and I use that term loosely) guests and yet somehow, he still managed to make it to 25 shows. No telling how many viewers made it through the same 25 shows, but I'm guessing not many. Oh, wait! Unless the crew working on the show counts as viewers! If that's the case, then them! If you'd like to witness this disaster for yourself, check it out on YouTube, via that link.
So Chevy only made it through 25 shows. Keenen made it through at least 11 shows (possibly more, but I can't verify that. I CAN verify the pathetic 11. 12 and over? No one's talkin'!). Could there be any show that would be worse than those two? Could there have been a late night show that lasted less than 25 or, worse yet, less than 11 shows? Is that possible? That would have had to have been a horrible show! The host would have had to have been less than human or not human at all in order for something to do so poorly that it would get pulled after, say, only seven shows, right? Is there a former late night talk show host who bombed that bad? There is! And my less-than-human assumption/assessment is right on, too! Drum roll, please. (Do I look like I have a budget around here? Of course not. Get two pencils and pound them on your desktop yourself. Wish I could do more, but, I can't because I don't want to.)
The host!
Of the!
Shortest run!
Of a late night talk show!
In the entire world!
In the entire universe!
Wait. ALF? ALF as in 'Alien Life Form'? THAT ALF?
And the really frightening thing about this venture? It wasn't in the late 1980s or right after ALF's 4 year run on network TV ended in 1990. No, this was in 2004! WTF?! Why the 14 year wait? Because the producers thought that every almost fifteen years or so that public get a real hankerin' for some ALF? I don't think we do! Perhaps they were hoping that the folks who actually watched ALF in the 1980s would now be old enough to stay up kind of late and would want to rekindle the warmth of their youth by watching ALF. I don't know what they were thinking, but whatever it was, it was wrong. All wrong.
'ALF's Hit Talk Show' aired its first episode on TV Land on July 7, 2004 and was promptly placed on hiatus until November, 2004, proving that it was not only unpopular, but it also had a misleading name. After the first episode hit the airwaves it was announced that six more episodes would air weekly! But not until November! Why someone thought it was a good idea to let this notion simmer in the brains of anyone who even knew it was on is beyond me. But after those six, it was over. According to ALFtv.net, the cameo appearances by 'celebrities' ended after the second show, having only cameo-ed Joan Rivers, Henry Winkler and someone named Jack Sheldon who, as it turns out, was the voice for the "I'm Just a Bill" and "Conjunction Junction" productions of Schoolhouse Rock lore. Go figure.
ALF's guests ranged from Drew Carey and Dennis Franz on his first show to Tom Arnold, a fitting guest for the last show. In between were a bunch of people who just happened to be walking by the studio when they were getting ready to tape and they pulled them in and made them the 'Guest Star'. That's all I can figure. And what talk show host would be complete without a sidekick/announcer guy who has milked that aspect of his career for the better part of 35+ years? And when you think sidekick/announcer guy, that's right, you think of Ed McMahon! Behold!
Again, if you find yourself sitting on a stage with a 1980s B-List puppet creature that isn't even human who is hosting a talk show, you really need to take some time alone and think really hard about the choices you've made to get you on the other side of the desk from ALF. Especially if you find yourself saying, "Heeeeerrrrreeeee's AAALF!!"
But you know, when I asked a friend if she knew of this phenomenon, she absolutely did! She knew about Ed! She knew ALF had a coffee cup and a desk! I didn't ask her how she knew this, as some things between friends are better left unsaid. But when I said that, had I known it was on when it was on, I'm pretty sure I would have thought the end of civilization as we know it was near. She explained to me in all seriousness that the reason that ALF didn't last more than 7 episodes is because "he was ahead of his time" and "people weren't ready for him." ::: blink ::: ::: blink ::: (She has been under the weather lately. Perhaps the fever got to her!)
But maybe she's right. Maybe humans just aren't to the point where they can process an alien puppet (that has a penchant for ingesting cats) as taking them through the late hours once a week. Maybe (God willing) we never will be. But we don't have to have any cerebral transformation at all in order to continue to enjoy Jay Leno AND get to bed a little bit earlier. We just won't be able to do it until September when his new show hits the air. Until then, well, just be glad it isn't ALF filling the time slot for three months.

adopting Yorkie and need some advice
I just found this site, and am interested in finding out some info on Yorkies. We lost our Bassett Vendeen last Dec. to old age (16) woke up one morning and found him, then in Aug. lost a cocker spaniel to breast cancer (12) we both decided then ,that was it for us as it was so hard to lose them after having them all their lives. Well guess what, we can't stand the silence in the house. Yes, we have two lovebirds but they don't run to greet us at the door and they refuse to cuddle with us on the couch. We are currently in the process of adopting a 5 yr. old Yorkie from a rescue. Seems this guy has already been in 4 homes and has some aggression issues. Can you blame him. We have no other dogs and can give him the attention he needs. I guess I need advice on getting the dear little guy to trust us. He is aggressive to other dogs, men, and sneakers. Guess I could guess why men and sneakers. I want to make my home his forever home, no matter what it takes so any advice would be welcome
I would suggest letting him get comfortable before anything else. Let him come to you he will it may take time but be patient. I find that I always talk to my rescues even just mindless crap is fine it is the sound of your voice. It is reassuring and will be comforting to him. Don't let him get away with any bad behaviour but you do not want to scare him. It is really time and love that is the greatest healer for these guys. For you it is patience, don't get discouraged it will all be worth it and we are always here for moral support or any questions. Here is a good tip if you feel like yelling at him don't go outside and yell, stamp your feet and then go back in a you will be calmer. As you watch him see what it is that sets off his aggression. This will be helpful for you to avoid these situations. Also once he feels safe and not in harms way this aggression may become less and less on its own but always be watching. Good luck By the way welcome to the pet.ca board
yorkie adoption
Thankyou for taking the time to give your much welcome advice. I am dedicated to giving this doll a forever home. I figured I would be spending a lot of time sitting on the floor the next couple of weeks, hoping if I go to his leval he will learn to trust me. I have seen pictures of him but will have my first visit with him tomorrow. Don't plan to approach him but can't wait to meet him. I am going shopping tomorrow to get his crate, blanket, toys and the proper food once i find out what he is being fed. Can't imagine him going through too much food as is only 6 lbs. Am calling around today to see if vet in area has experience with Yorkies, will also be looking for a groomer. My husband says it's like we're having another baby. If I have my way that's what he'll be. I do understand the need for firm correction and the foster mom says she uses a spray bottle which seems to be working, guess that's another thing for my list Again thanks for advice
Thanks for taking this little one in. :thumbs up Sounds like he's had a rough time of it. It's really rough to lose a pet and I understand why so many say no more. But, it's really a tribute to the ones you lost that you find you need another pet in your life. I can't imagine life without them.
I'm in love
I posted here yesterday that I was trying to adopt a yorkie, well I met him today and it was love at first site for me. I saw him come up the driveway and what an adorable tiny dog. He is smaller than my husbands boot. Now I'm in the predictiment that if I can't have him for whatever reason I'll be heartbroken. I had to fill out a nine page application but would do twenty pages if that's what it takes to make sure these dogs go to good homes. Wish me luck!!!!!
Crossing my paws for you!!! :thumbs up
I have 2 yorkies & 1 beloved deceased yorkie--they are the best. Not without behavior problems but so lovable. Enjoy your new pet

I have a problem, I cannot get a GDSN key.
When I go via menu to the screen allowing to enter an activation key, the manual suggests: "Simply click on the Create GDSN Account button and fill out the form.". Unfortunately, there is no such button on my screen!
Is there any way to get the key by registering somewhere?
Thanks for any help. I am trying to follow the documentation, but this seems to be a show stopper for now!

Susie's Rustic Feminine Studio
I love the idea of translating the look and energy of a sprawling country home into a tiny studio apartment. Add a few simple, modern pieces with clean lines for a bit of urban edge and you've got a gorgeous and functional space at any size.
• 1 The rustic feminine studio is anchored by a stylish and grown-up version of a loft bed; block-printed fabric curtains hanging from the loft structure create a walk-in closet and office area beneath. Ever since I saw this design in Domino I've wanted to try and make it work in a real room. It was the work of the extremely talented Robin Sillau, who passed away tragically late last year. (To see more of Robin's designs, read her interview on Decor8.)
• 2 The Laptop Coffee Table from Dwell is an amazing conversion table that allows you to dine at your sofa, then put your feet up afterwards. Great when you don't have space for both a living area and a dining area.
• 3 A tall mirror leaning against a wall creates the illusion of space. I love the mirrors made by Olde Good Things from New York area architectural salvage bits and pieces, like these tin ceiling tiles.
• 4 I love the rustic charm of the Draper's Cabinet from Sundance, which is a great multi-functional piece for display and storage.
• 5 For a studio kitchen, the Indian vertical dish rack from Tsé and Tsé is a great-looking space saver.
• 6 A couple of Fermob bistro folding chairs hanging on a closet wall are a must for entertaining in the rustic feminine studio…
• 7 …and so are a few floor pillows for bonus seating! The Roost Pondicherry Floor PIllows are available at Velocity Art and Design.
• 8 The Slim console table from Room and Board is only ten inches deep; perfect for creating a little landing strip just inside the studio door.
• 9 With these Pillar candles from India Rose, you can have flattering candlelight without keeping lots of bulky candlesticks around.
• 10 Plants generate energy and vitality in a small space. A vertical garden from Woolly Pockets uses wall space efficiently and beautifully.

Compassion Matters by Shawn Copeland, Ph.D.
Monday, September 26, 2016 7:30 p.m. Gorecki 204, College of Saint Benedict
Author and theologian M. Shawn Copeland will deliver the Koch Chair in Catholic Thought and Culture lecture at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 26, in room 204, Gorecki Center, College of Saint Benedict.
Her lecture, entitled "Compassion Matters," is free and open to the public. It will explore compassion as a disposition, a virtue, a way of being and a way of acting, and will consider the contribution compassion makes to creating the common good.
Copeland is the author of "Enfleshing Freedom: Body, Race and Being," which was published by Fortress Press in 2010.
"Being human is neither abstract nor hypothetical. It is concrete, visceral and embodied in the everyday experience and relationships that determine who we are," Fortress Press wrote in describing the book. "In that case, argues distinguished theologian Shawn Copeland, we have much to learn from the embodied experience of black women who, for centuries, have borne in their bodies the identities and pathologies of those in power."
A professor in the theology department at Boston College, she has previously taught at Marquette University (1994-2003) and Yale University Divinity School (1989-94). She also taught systematic theology in the degree program at the Institute for Black Catholic Studies, Xavier University, from 1994-2005.

The Politics of Immigration and a Catholic Counternarrative
Lecture by Kristin Heyer
Monday, October 6, 2015, 7:30 p.m., Gorecki 204
The United States remains the world's leading destination for immigrants, and across new regions, U.S. residents are increasingly confronted with newcomers. Kristin Heyer offers an overview of immigraiton paradigms and explores the resources the Catholic intellectual tradition brings to bear on this pressing moral issue. Given her expertise in gendered dimensions of immigration rotted in formative experiences with deported women and mixed-status families, Dr. Heyer will highlight the threats particular to migrant women and families as well as their contributions.
Book-Lunch Discussion Group for Faculty and Staff : Mary Syzbist, winner of the 2013 National Book Award for poetry, discusses her most recent work: Incarnadine.
Friday, October 3, 2014 from 12:00 - 1:00 p.m.
In her gorgeous second collection, Mary Szybist blends traditional and experimental aesthetics to recast the mysth of the Biblical Mary for this era. In vulnerable lyrics, surprising concrete poems, and other forms, and with extraordinary sympathy and a light touch of humor, Szybsit probes the nuances of love, loss, and the truggle for religious faith in a world that seems to argue against it. This is a religious book for nonbelievers, or a book of necessary doubts for the faithful.

McFague is one of the leading Christian theologians on climate change and the environment. Join us as we explore McFague's argument that restraint is the only possible path forward for a world bent on consumption and overuse.

Forgiveness in the Service of Justice
Lecture by Margaret Farley
Wednesday, September 11, 7:30 p.m., Gorecki 204
This lecture addresses key societal and interpersonal issues regarding the meaning and appropriateness of "forgiving" and "being-forgiven." Against backgrounds of violence, oppression, fractured relationships, the 21st century has seen unprecedented concern for these issues. They have been analyzed by philosophers and theologians, political theorists and psychologists. This lecture will focus on the relation between forgiveness and justice, resistance, and love. Taking into account both secular and religious understandings, Dr. Farley will probe these questions as they emerge in particular within a Christian perspective.
Student Luncheon with Margaret Farley - September 10, 2013
Are some actions so atrocious that they become unforgivable? If you have ever pondered deeply (or would like to!) the demands of the virtue of forgiveness, join us for lunch as we consider Christian and Jewish philosophers and theologians' perspectives about whether we are obligated to forgive unconditionally or whether the trespasser must meet certain conditions prior to forgiveness--for example, acknowledging wrongdoing, apologizing, and seeking reparations. Dr. Margaret Farley, a leading contemporary Catholic moral theologian, will explore these issues by focusing especially on the differing views of Jankelevitch and Derrida, two Jewish philosophers who tackled issues of forgiveness in light of the Holocaust.
Faculty-Staff Luncheon with Margaret Farley: September 11, 12 p.m., TRC, Main Building, CSB
Faculty and Staff are invited to a luncheon with Margaret Farley to discuss her contributions to the Catholic intellectual tradition and the discipline of Christian ethics.

In the process, she and her companions on the tour highlighted the work of Catholic sisters in serving the poor and advocating for social justice. Cited for her "distinguished advocacy and commitment to economic justice and peace building," Campbell was awarded the 2012 Defender of Democracy Award by the Parliamentarians for Global Action, an international organization of legislators from 120 parliaments.

Faculty-Staff Luncheon: What the Angles left: A Poetry Lunch Discussion with Marie Howe
March 18, 11:30 a.m., TRC, Main Building, CSB
Catholic poet Marie Howe will reflect on her writing, her way of being in the world, and how her Catholicism has influenced her spirituality. Join Marie as she imaginatively explores deep and diverse theological questions:
Where did the angels go? Who or what might angels be in our world, and what is their gift? What, in 2013, is a devil? Is there a "good thief" in our lives? Where is the Kingdom of heaven? What does the nativity really mean? What about resurrection?
Poetry for Marie has been a way to enter questions like these and to listen in silence for God's answer. Is poetry, then, equivalent to prayer-a spiritual/theological/religious practice?
Co-sponsored by the College of St. Benedict Literary Arts Institute.
Poetry event with Marie Howe
Monday, March 18th, 7:00 p.m.
Gorecki Theater, CSB
Marie Howe has published three collections of poetry, with two of those three chosen for the National Poetry Series, Lavan Young Poets Prize, and Publisher's Weekly as among the five best poetry collections of the year.

Nov. 30, 2006
The Lipscomb Bisons started their defense of their Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championship with a 73-61 win over Jacksonville Thursday night at Allen Arena.
It was the conference season-opener for both teams. It was also the 13th consecutive win at home for the Bisons dating back to Jan. 14, 2006.
"I don't want to be too critical," Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson said. "I still think good teams find a way to win. But we haven't clicked on all cylinders. It is a process.
"We have not clicked yet on the offensive end of the floor, but we are still winning. We have been behind a lot this year. This team knows how to win. We have done a good job of finishing games."
The Bisons led by seven, 40-33, at the half. Jacksonville led by four with 13:08 left in the first half. Jacksonville came out strong in the second half, pulling to within one point of the Bisons at 46-45 with 14:49 left to play.
The Bisons rebuilt their lead, taking a 10-point advantage with 29 seconds left.
"Jacksonville is a much-improved team," Sanderson said. "They are not the same team we played last year. They have good speed and quickness. They really can defend."
The Bisons were led by guard Brian Fisk who scored a game-high 27, the most points in a single game this season by a Bisons player. He was 8-of-16 from the field, including three-of-five from 3-point range and eight-of-12 from the free throw line.
Also in double figures for the Bisons were point guard Trey Williams with 18 and forward Eddie Ard with 12. Ard also grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds for a double-double.
"I don't think you can key on any one guy on this team," Sanderson said. "We have several guys who can score 10 or 15 points on any given night."
The Bisons shot 41.8 percent from the field, hitting 23-of-55 shots. They were 8-of-24 from 3-point range for a 33.3 percent success rate.
"More than anything I want us to get better looks at the basket," Sanderson said. "We did a little bit better job this time, but we haven't done the job I would like."
Jacksonville placed two players in double figures. Lehmon Colbert scored 15 points and Marcus Allen finished with 11.
The Bisons lost the battle on the boards 37-35.
The Bisons are 5-2, 1-0 in the A-Sun. Jacksonville slipped to 3-4, 0-1 in the conference.
"We are winning, but we have not played very good basketball," Sanderson said. "We have to get better. We have a lot of guys who need to play well and get their heads up. We have a lot of guys on the bench, but we didn't get very much production."
The Bisons are back in action Saturday at 4 p.m. at Allen Arena when A-Sun foe North Florida visits. The game is part of a double-header. The Lady Bisons will play North Florida at 2.
"We are going to walk through some stuff Friday and not practice," Sanderson said. "We play an afternoon game. We need to get our legs back under us. We had a lot of players play 36 to 37 minutes."
Sophomore guard Michael Lusk was unable to play in the game for medical reasons. Sanderson is hopeful he will be back in the line-up for North Florida.
"He is critical to our team," Sanderson said. "People don't think about him a lot because he doesn't score a whole lot. But he doesn't turn the ball over and he rebounds.
"He is an absolute lock-down defender. He guards a man-and-a-half. It was dangerous without him."

(844) 293-4217
I planted my garden a couple days ago, and a mosquito bit me.
My focus suddenly became peaked on flying objects, and I noticed a number of the pesky critters hovering around me. No doubt visualizing bull's eyes on every patch of bare skin they spotted.
Yesterday as I sat in my office a buzzing noise suddenly distracted me and I caught rapid movement at the edges of Best Pest Control Near Me Harrisburg MO my vision. When I trained my eyes in that direction I saw one of those big black bottle flies dive-bombing at me from various directions.
When my frozen mind turns to thoughts of thawing out in spring I start watching the yard for that first Robin. It's my first promising sign of spring.
Unfortunately those other flying creatures, the ones we don't want anywhere near us, are a Harrisburg MO sign of spring too. We could sure do without them couldn't we? But one fact we all must face is that the journey to enjoying every pleasure requires overcoming the obstacles that life places in our way.
Those mosquitoes and flies that invade our cookouts and picnics are part of the obstacles we deal with to welcome spring.
There are ways of battling them though, and I'll let Pest Control Services Near Me Harrisburg MO you in on a couple of them here. Hopefully what I've learned about flying pests will give you some helpful weapons for you pest control arsenal to let you relax during your out-of-doors adventures.
Mosquitoes are very weak flyers. If there's a breeze they'll find a place to land out of the wind, and wait it out. That's a good piece of knowledge for you to own. If you're Harrisburg MO sitting on your patio, or in the yard, for a cookout and these rascals start biting you just bring out a couple of floor fans and plug them in. Train them so they cover the whole area of your cookout and blow outward from that area. The mosquitoes can't fly against the fan's breeze, and won't bother you. This method works if you place enough fans to cover the entire Harrisburg MO area where everyone is sitting.
Mosquitoes find their targets by smell. Give them a scent they don't like, and they'll stay away. One item you'll find in many households that gives off an odor they don't care for is Listerine. I've placed spots of it on my neck, wrists, and legs while camping and kayaking, and gone bite free for up to two days with one application.
Listerine Harrisburg MO also helps keep the flies away too, but in my experience it works better on the mosquitoes.
Get a small spray bottle and fill it with Listerine. Mix 2/3-Listerine with 1/3-water and make it last longer if you like, but a large bottle is not very pricey at Wal-Mart. Spray the lawn and deck floor around where you're sitting, and you're protected fairly well. Another area to spray is Harrisburg MO around picnic tables (especially where the food is), swings, and any standing water.
Keep them out of the house by spraying around door and window frames, and give the dog some comfort with a spray inside the doghouse.
Cleaning pet feces from your yard regularly effectively keeps the fly population down. They multiply by laying eggs in pet waste. I've also found that flies don't care for the Harrisburg MO smell of bounce fabric softener. I usually roll a sheet up in a headband, and tie another sheet to a belt loop.
With a few easy actions like those above you'll increase your spring and summertime outdoor pleasure by creating a mosquito and fly-free environment.

PUEBLO Akron High School girls basketball has a reputation for suffocating pressure defense, the kind that led the Rams to a state championship last year.
Unfortunately for Ignacio High School, the Rams defense was in full effect Thursday morning in Pueblo.
Akron blitzed the Bobcats early thanks to full-court pressure defense, and the top-seeded Rams beat No. 8 seed Ignacio 60-39 on Thursday at Massari Arena on the CSU-Pueblo campus in the elite eight of the CHSAA Class 2A Girls Basketball State Championships.
Akron (25-0) stunned Ignacio (16-8) early, using its state tournament experience and strong defensive effort to jump out to a 14-0 lead in the first three minutes against the Bobcats, which are making their first appearance at the state tournament since 2003.
They compare to Shiprock and that group down there, definitely, that kind of pressure, Ignacio head coach Justa Whitt said.
Throughout the game, Akron packed it in defensively in the half court, gumming up potential attempts at penetration by the Bobcats, particularly Michelle Simmons, whos noted for her ability to make things happen when she gets into the paint.
We had trouble penetrating like were used to, so we couldnt really do what we usually do, said Mariah Vigil, daughter of Joe and Joyce Vigil.
Ignacio finished the game with an unofficial 22 turnovers while forcing 19 Akron miscues.
After trailing 38-18 at halftime, Ignacio started to get rolling a bit in the third quarter after regrouping in the locker room at intermission. The Bobcats opened the quarter on a 9-2 run to trim the Akron lead to 40-28 before the Rams rebuilt a 50-34 advantage at quarters end.
Valerie Armstrong said Ignacio found its footing offensively in the third quarter when the Bobcats began to spread out the Rams.
We stayed spread out. ... Coach told us if we have a shot, take it, said Armstrong, daughter of Kayla Armstrong.
Akron, however, was able to salt the game away by opening the fourth quarter on an 8-0 run to push the lead to 56-34.
Vigil led Ignacio with 10 points, while Simmons added nine. Armstrong had eight points for IHS.
Akron forward Sidney Merrill had 17 points and 13 rebounds for the defending state champions, while Jordan Baer added 17 and Ally Vasquez 16.
Their size definitely became a factor in the game. Regardless of how much we prepared for that, sometimes you just cant duplicate that size, Whitt said.
The Bobcats will play at 10:15 a.m. today in the consolation semifinals against fourth-seeded Sangre de Cristo, which lost to Peyton 53-33 on Thursday night. The winner of todays matchup will advance to the fifth-place game Saturday.

I'm not sure how easy this is to do but when you click on a link in a post it does not open a new tab or window, it loads in your current window taking you away from OW.
I know with other forums I view that links open a new post or window.
Maybe it's just me or I'm just picky but a new tab or window I think is better if it can be done.

Profit Persistence in Large U.S. Bank Holding Companies: An Empirical Investigation
by Karin Pafford Roland
OCC Working Paper 97-2, January 1997.
If the regulations imposed by federal agencies to ensure the safety and soundness of the financial system result in a system-wide reduction of competition, persistent economic profits may be more common in the banking industry than in other industries. BHCs that generate persistent positive abnormal profits are, by definition, -efficient; BHCs that post persistent negative abnormal profits are -inefficient. This paper advances extant research on profit persistence and bank efficiency by developing a two-dimensional measure of persistence, by using this measure to document profit efficiency and inefficiency in the U.S. banking industry, and by identifying the sources of efficiency. The evidence supports two conclusions: (1) -inefficient banks outnumber -efficient banks, and (2) -efficient banks generate more underwriting revenue, produce more fee revenue, and post lower overhead expense than -inefficient banks.
As with all OCC Working Papers, the opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Department of the Treasury.
Any whole or partial reproduction of material in this paper should include the following citation: Roland, "Profit Persistence in Large U.S. Bank Holding Companies: An Empirical Investigation," Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, E&PA Working Paper 97-2, January 1997.
