Humane Society Marks Cat Month
WAPAKONETA — In recognition of Adopt-a-Cat Month, many animal shelters around the nation are offering special incentives in June for those wanting to add a cuddly ball of fur to their family.
For those considering cat adoption, there are plenty of kitties in need of a loving home at the Auglaize County Humane Society in Wapakoneta, said Mandy Fouse, animal caretaker and adoption assistant.
"We have a couple of things going on," she said. "Our first one is two-for-one kitty adoptions — it's two kittens for the price of $100. It includes a spay or neuter, the booster vaccines and the de-worming of the kittens. We've got a cute, little saying that goes with that: 'Double your pleasure, double your fun, adopt two kittens for the price of one.'"
During the month of June, adult cat adoptions are $25, she added, which are regularly $50. As a third incentive, already spayed or neutered cats coming into the humane society in June, whether surrendered or stray, can be adopted for $10. All adoptions include spaying or neutering, booster vaccines and de-worming.
The Auglaize County Humane Society has observed Adopt-a-Cat Month for many years, Fouse said.
"We usually do have some cat specials," she said. "This shelter has been doing it for 25 years at least. Last year, because we had so many kittens, we had a kitten palooza, and basically we were giving out a whole round of supplies with the cat — the litter, the box, the scoop, the kitten food."
During the summer months, large volumes of cats and dogs come in to the humane society, Fouse said. Currently, there are 54 cats up for adoption and 63 dogs.
"There are actually more adult cats than there are kittens right now, and we're kind of just keeping our head above water with the cats," she said. "We really need to give some of them homes. We haven't been able to take cats in for the last month just because of how full we are."
While adult cats do outnumber the kittens available for adoption, Fouse said there are still more kittens than usual for the season.
"The springtime will bring in just a ton of kittens and then usually by the time summer hits, we really start picking up with adoptions," she said. "I can't believe we still have kittens."
Fouse spoke of some of the perks of owning a cat as opposed to other types of pets, noting cats could be ideal for a family on the go.
"Cats are definitely much more low maintenance than dogs — they're almost completely independent," she said. "They don't require as much. If somebody is gone for 12 hours a day at a job, it would be great for them to have a cat versus having a dog — just the time factor."
In fact, if someone is planning to adopt one cat, Fouse suggested considering adopting two.
"They always tell you that you should have pets in pairs of two because they do get lonely," she said.
"They're so playful and when you're gone at work during the day, you know, who else do they have to play with but just themselves? You might notice a little more hair, depending on what you get, but really it's not that much of a difference to take care of — you just put a little more food in the bowl, a little more litter in the box."
Adopting a cat from a humane society also tends to ensure a more healthy animal, Fouse noted, as opposed to taking in stray cat or one from a pet shop.
"With rescuing cats from a humane society, these cats have already been examined and are deemed not to have a whole bunch of health issues that you would possibly pick up from a cat that you just took off of the streets without having it checked out first," she said.
For more information or to adopt a pet, visit the Auglaize County Humane Society at 616 N. Dixie Highway, Wapakoneta, call 419-738-7808 or visit ACHS-Pets.com.
The humane society is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday; noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday and noon to 3 p.m. Sunday.
Those interested in adopting cats also may contact Sue's Animal Rescue Team (SART) at 419-733-3650 or by visiting its website at SARTOhio.org.

Railroads connected hundreds of cities and towns across the United States by 1900. Traditionally, station masters and train engineers communicated by word of mouth or written notes. Any further communication depended on signalmen who walked along the track carrying colored flags. Better signaling became essential at the turn of the 20th century as the numbers of lines and trains traveling those lines increased. The signal rising above this South Deerfield, Massachusetts, station roof offered improved and safer communication that prevented collisions and saved lives. The position of the signal arms in this postcard view indicates that the track is clear. Arms raised horizontally indicate "danger" while arms raised in the intermediate position signal "caution." White, red, and green lights on the pole communicated the same messages at night.

Here are some helpful guides to keep your Canyon in top shape! Just pick the relevant category to find the solution to your issue.
Adjusting of fork travel
In case of the FOX TALAS and certain RockShox forks you can reduce the travel and lower the fork.
If you lower the fork your Canyon has less travel available, but you then have a better position on the bike when riding up climbs.
To lower the fork on the FOX TALAS there is a blue adjusting lever on the left fork crown. Picture 1 After you have completed the adjustment you don't need to alter the air pressure in the fork. The travel can be adjusted while riding although this should be done with extreme caution. The levels of travel available in the fork are indicated on the blue TALAS lever.
On the Revelation fork you can alter the travel by turning the grey knob at the top of the left stanchion. The knob is marked "Travel".

BUY PLAVIX NO PRESCRIPTION, IOWA CITY — Josh Oglesby came out to practice and he still had his face.
The way Iowa basketball coach Fran McCaffery talked said something different, PLAVIX long term. About PLAVIX, McCaffery's advice to Oglesby, his sophomore shooting guard, cheap PLAVIX, After PLAVIX, has always been consistent — if you have a shot, take it, buy PLAVIX online cod, Buying PLAVIX online over the counter, and if you miss a shot or two, don't stop shooting, herbal PLAVIX. PLAVIX price, coupon, So, during a recent practice, doses PLAVIX work, PLAVIX samples, Oglesby passed up an open shot. And McCaffery let him have it, buy PLAVIX from canada.

BUY PLAVIX NO PRESCRIPTION, "I said, 'Josh, I love you, but do I have to yell at you to make eight threes in a row?' He said, 'No, coach.' I said, 'Just keep firing.'"
That's something Oglesby said he's still trying to adjust to at times.
"I've been trying to work on, PLAVIX pictures, Buy cheap PLAVIX, if I miss my first couple of shots, the next ones are going in, PLAVIX results, PLAVIX canada, mexico, india, " Oglesby said. "Thus far in practice, PLAVIX dose, PLAVIX recreational, that's what I've been trying to do."

"It's more difficult than you think," he said, BUY PLAVIX NO PRESCRIPTION. "If you have an off-day, you know you're having an off-day, and you get down on yourself. Like I said, I've been trying to improve in that category, and try to have confidence in my shot."

Tips from users
Some tips and tricks for Gothic 3 beginners:
(Some of the exploits described in here might not work, since they were corrected in the Community Patches)
It is recommendable to do all quests in Myrtana at first. Than go to Varant and do the quests there. Nordmar is very hard, do it as late as possible, if you don't want to load all 5 minutes.
Thief talents:
Don't learn all of it. Most of them are not helpful. It's enough when you learn Difficult Locks, Bargain and Excuses. Pickpocket is not useful, because you get only a little bit of gold and no experience. Knockdown and Murder you don't need frequently, but it's sometimes helpful (in this situation there is mostly another way).
Wait with revolutions! It's not good to free each town after doing all quests there. After a determined number of revolutions you get (big) problems. Do it as late as possible.
It's not possible to learn Make poison. If you try it you lose gold and learning points, but you don't get the skill.
Permanent Potions is not useful, because it doubled only the effect of Goblinberry, Dragonroot and so on. And because there are not enough King's sorrel it's wastage to learn Permanent Potions.
Healing and Mana Potion is very helpful. There are much possibilities to make it and there are enough resources for doing that. Important is only to have enough vials and water.
Teleport Stones:
Nearly each town/village has a own one. Look for it, redundant walking bothers.
The ingame maps are not really helpful. It's no problem if you don't find any locations. Print a map of this forum and add details you need.
Remote fight:
Buy all arrows from the traders you visit, there are unfortunately to less arrows in the game. Use strongly bows or crossbows for animals like trolls, ogres, an so on. Don't be economically, a good weapon save your life.
There are many shamans in Nordmar. Be careful, their attacks are very strongly! Use effective weapons or spells to kill them. Kill them before you attack the other orcs or goblins.
Escort Quests:
There are many quests for that you have to escort somebody. Often this quests fail, because of the strength of this NPCs. It's recommendable to clean the lanes you will use, before you go there with the NPC. Than you can go without any scare to lose the NPC.I give you the tips which I found in G3:
*Climb on a roof of a Mora Sul temple and jump into hole - you're in the temple and you don't need no keys!
*If you wanna earn easy money, made Bastard sword.
*If you swimming in a sea, you can open an inventory and can attack people from here or do something else.
*Sit down on a thrown/chair/bench and nobody will attack you
*If you attack somebody in town, wield poisoned weapon, the only person who will attack you is your victimAbout Vatras:
People have some bugs about finding the prisoner in Lago or some need to kill him but you need to liberate Lago first. Anyway as long as you do not want to lead him to Hurit's camp I have a tip for you: You can enter his cell from the ceiling, there is a hole. Just start climbing the mountain from where the nomad (lion druid) stands. You have to jump all the time so you don't fall back. When you are above his cell just jump there. Kill him or talk to him. I don't know if liberating Lago is a big problem, maybe they wouldn't let you in Ishtar.if you want a weapon like a demon sword but you don't have enough strength all you need is a +2 strength potion open you inventory click on the potion the close your inventory quick open it again and you will see the potion, you can do this with any potion of plant or tablets or foodIn the start of the game after you liberated Ardea you can draw your sword and fight with Gorn and take his battleaxe which is 10.500 gold to sell and yeah, that is a really good money for a start, and if you go to Lester and fight him and take his cudgel then come back fight with Gorn till you get like 10 or 20 battleaxes and cudgels and sell them you will have at least 100.000 gold for a good start. Where to sell them: just go to Reddock and trade there.
Then go to Cape Dun and trade, then Ardea; if you keep going like this you'll get a lot money. NEVER get far away from Ardea if you didn't get lots of battleaxes to sell because Gorn and others will disappear if you get too far away.
One more thing : if you gave something to an npc (like gold) you can get it if you beat him or her you'll get what you gave even if it's a quest objects (like crates of fur) but be sure there's none watching you and don't even think about doing it to commanders in cities or bases because they can't be beaten they'll die. If you need to beat commanders just learn the "knock opponent" skill in thievery and get a solid wood sneak then hit him behind he'll get knocked down and you can rob him.

Welcome to Johannes-Secker.co.uk
I grew up in the Netherlands as the son of a joiner and cabinet maker and was initiated into fine woodwork at an early age. I pursued woodworking even when I was an academic. When I arrived at university, having left school at 13, I was so enthralled with learning and with the freedom to pursue learning, that I 'fell into' the academic way of life and eventually obtained a doctorate in Old English and taught for some 10 years, only to find in my late 30s that my 'hands' were, after all, better than my 'head'!
I retrained as a harpsichord maker at the London College of Furniture (1977-80), as it then was, where I was tutored by the likes of David Law, and for a brief period Andrew Garrett and Chris Nobbs. I spent a further year (1984-85) as a Canada Council Fellow researching and drawing original instruments on the continent and in the UK.
I established myself as a Harpsichord Maker in 1980 in western Canada, in the Calgary area, making Harpsichords, Virginals, Spinets and Clavichords. In the late 1980s at the request of the University of Calgary I built a Viennese Fortepiano for the 1989 International Symposium, "Music and Science in the Age of Galileo", where is was given its first performance, to great acclaim, by Paul Badura-Skoda. It was featured again, 2 years later, 1991, at a conference at the University of Calgary, dedicated to the music of Mozart. I have since pursued this area of expertise with considerable enthusiasm and added the Fortepiano to my repertiore.

Muppet Retro Reviews: Billy Bunny's Animal Songs
If you would like to contribute to our Muppet Retro Reviews series, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Michael Wermuth, Jr. - Billy Bunny's Animal Songs is the first of five "Muppet Sing Alongs" videos, released in 1993 but produced in 1990. In fact, it's one of the first productions made after Jim Henson's death. Like the "Tales from Muppetland" specials, Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, and The Christmas Toy, this video focuses entirely on new characters, with Kermit serving as host and narrator. Kermit's scenes take place inside a log cabin where he tells the story of Billy Bunny, whose favorite activity is singing, but unfortunately for his family, he only knows one song, "Hoppity Boppity." Annoyed with hearing the song over and over, Billy's mother asks Billy to go into the woods and learn some other songs.
On Billy's journey to learn more songs, he meets a variety of animals who teach him songs related to their species. First he meets several gophers who sing "We are Different," showing that they all have different interests. Then Billy meets a group of bears, who act polite as opposed to rude like Billy thinks bears act, and they sing "Bear Rap." Then Billy meets a termite, who sings "Termite Chew." After this Billy meets two raccoons who sing "I Got a Secret," then Billy gets hurt after bumping into a porcupine, who gives Billy the musical advice "Please Don't Bump Into Me" in a nightclub-style setting. Going into the swamp, Billy learns "Frog Talk" from a group of frogs, and then meets a turtle who doesn't know any songs, so Billy helps him write a song, "Swim Away, Hooray!" Billy then comes home to tell his family that he now knows eight songs but his favorite is still the song that had been annoying his family, leading to a grand finale reprise featuring all the animals Billy had met during the video.
As noted, this video was produced in 1990, but didn't come out until 1993. I assume that Kermit's scenes were all shot closer to the videos release. Aside from a brief interaction with Billy at the end and him joining in the finale, Kermit's scenes could have easily been recorded after the rest of production ended, and it looks like Steve Whitmire didn't perform anybody else in this video. Billy Bunny is a good character, and Kevin Clash does a great job as him, but it is a wonder that Bean Bunny wasn't the star, considering The Jim Henson Company had been trying to make Bean into a main character at the time. Aside from Kermit, no other major Muppet character appears in this, though many generic Muppet frogs, bears, gophers, raccoons, and penguins from past productions make appearances. I really like the design of the termite who appears in this.
The songs are good, though not as great as the many songs from Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, or Fraggle Rock. "Hoppity Boppity" is a fun song, and the reprise is a lot better than the first performance. My favorite song from this is "I Got a Secret," with Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt as two sneaky raccoons. I also like the showbiz-quality of "Please Don't Bump Me." "We are Different" and "Frog Talk" are both very catchy songs as well. None of the songs are bad, but my least favorite is "Swim Away, Hooray!" which feels slow compared to the other songs.
All in all, Billy Bunny's Animal Songs is a good special. I wouldn't list it among my favorite Henson productions, and it's not even my favorite Muppet Sing Alongs video (that honor would go to "It's Not Easy Being Green"), but I do recommend watching this video at least once, though it's long out-of-print and has never been (and probably never will be) released on DVD.

Comments on Making Compact Forms More Accessible

Great article, Mike! Although it has some problems with the password field in FireFox 2.0
Very useful and it works great.
RE: Comment #1, What problems does it have?
In Firefox 2 (OS X), the password field isn't rendering properly. It simply shows a password field with asterisks "********"
If you turn off JavaScript the labels remain in place over the fields causing an overtype effect. Wouldn't it be a better solution to set the position of the labels using a JS function or even use JS to:
a. Hide the labels and…
b. Determine the text for each label, and finally…
c. Use that text as the default value for the appropriate field?
Where do you set the value of the pasword field to be "password", and how ??
It's a great concept, but I do agree with Sean: wouldn't it be much easier (and probably safer) to just get the value of the associated label and set this as a default value vor hte input field? I'm not sure about using CSS and the overlay technique for this.
Great technique and works on Windows (some issues apparently on OSX) but in my opinion should designers be using this pattern to design forms in the first place? It would always be more usable to provide the label above the field if there is horizontal restriction of space, if the space is restricted vertically, use a horizontal layout. If it is a really small screen, use the first option with a scroll. Why resort to this?
Sean is right that turning off JavaScript would break this. But the proposed solution doesn't work - you can't present a default value in the password input (without changing it's type).
But using this concept, you'd better add the overlabel class to the labels with Javascript.
Is there any reason you're giving the divs their own ids? They all seem to perform the same functionality in the CSS so can't you just use them as a container with no id and no class and reference them from within the form id, i.e. #formname div.
Sorry if I've missed something, it would just seem to clean up the CSS and markup a lot that way?
..and then he notices the submit div being different. But still most divs will be exactly the same and you could just override this one as necessary?
The 'issues' some people are having with Firefox is that it is pre-filling the password field with your saved ALA password. I'm not sure why it isn't doing the same with the username field.
Why dont we just use the excellent script by Aaron Boodman? It's nearly perfect and addresses the same issues (unobtrusive, doesnt send label value if empty, etc). And even better, since it's 2001… so old he just archived it as "boring" :)
Now I have to rewrite Payraise Calculator! :)
I utilized this same approach but my code was rather inefficient. Thanks for the great tip!
Seems like it'd be easier/lighter to simply parse the input in the label element instead of using a div. Doing this creates an even tighter association and saves some mark-up.
Nice topic, though. It's good to see this sort of thing.
"¦using z-index, negative margin, & transparency, setting backgroud of input to white on blur by JS, if value is not empty
the label is unobstusive, then, and degrade more gracefully if no JS (show label as /background/).
LABEL.overlabel {
z-index: 2 ;
color: lightgray;
input.username {
z-index: 1 ;
background-color: transparent ;
left: -10em;
input.username:focus {
background-color: white ;
with included input into label tags (better for buggy browser for the « for » attribute) :  <input "¦ /> , allow easy relative position and no div.
Thanks for the article. I think that maybe you could be interested on this:
Greenpeace presents a new website in Web 2.0 where people can give ideas to improve the next expedition to Antarctic. You can post your idea or comment and vote other s ideas The whaling fleet has left Japan, and is headed directly to the Southern Ocean. 945 whales will be killed - unless we do something to save them.
Nice article. I especially liked the idea of 'floating' the label over the text field and the fact that labels will 'link' to the text field if clicked, allows a user to get at the text field that is under the floated element.
However… I have to agree with Sean Foushee in post #4. This current example fails the 'unobtrusive JavaScript' ideal. Should JavaScript not be available, this solution does not breakdown nicely.
Instead, I would consider using JS to add the CSS that 'floats' the labels, thus, if JS is not on, the design can still be user friendly. Though, this can effect the design on a whole if the small form is now 2x as long.
I like the concept, but as other commenters have said, it's a bit shaky with the javascripts and floats. I would definitely prefer the label method. I have seen this implemented on a few sites, but the worst examples don't replace the text values back into the fields once the user clicks off of them. For example: username appears, user clicks, clicks to another field, what was in the original field? Whoops. I'll stick with label and input thank you. Call me old fashioned Web 2.0 :)
I would advise using valid markup by using FIELDSET element instead of non-semantic DIV element.
Please note: FIELDSET element is required in forms in XHTML 1.0 Strict.
I am sorry for the misunderstanding, but was outraged to see that you recommend something that is not accessible. (and with the Javascript off, it wasn't even usable at all).
I am also very sad to see that A List Apart have been ignoring semantics of XHTML (HTML) all these years. Solutions you recommend are often very bad practice of HTML development recommending non-semantic elements. This is the case with DIV used here instead of FIELDSET used properly, but there were many cases of the same style in past.
Maybe some of your authors are not keeping up to date with internet semantics, but A List Apart should at least check the semantics and other errors occuring all over the place. Otherwise we can see lot of people ending up using your solutions that are sometimes very clumsy regarding semantics. I am sure you understand this is not the best case for web standards advocacy.
Thank you.
How about this?
Thanks for this useful article, it came at a perfect time. Our designer put together a login form concept that used the exact example you give. I attempted a 'default value' solution (the traditional method), with an extra type change on the password field. This didn't work in IE6 so I used another method which swapped in an additional form field - but was never happy with it.
The only change I have made to your concept is to have the labels next to the fields by default, and then switch the class using the Javascript to move them over the fields.
As for using fieldsets rather than DIVs, my fields are both in a single fieldset, but I have also retained your DIVs for the exact reason you described - browser default styles will render the form much more neatly with them in.
Well, ALA definitely makes me sad lately :(
If you choose to use XHTML for your example, then please, make sure it works as XHTML. Save your example with an .xhtml extension and try to open it with Firefox or Opera. See what I mean?
Problems with your current implementation:
a) CSS won't work. XHTML is case sensitive so none of your CSS rules will apply if document gets parsed as XHTML (e.g.served with apropriate MIME type. See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#q6 ).
b) Javascript won't work. "In XHTML, the script and style elements are declared as having #PCDATA content." (http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8 ). This means that any "&" or "<" will result in "yellow page of dead".
Best way to avoid this is to keep all scripts in external files, but this is not so convenient for the example page, so you have other options: escape offending characters; wrap evertyhing in CDATA (but this will bring headache in HTML mode); or, best of all — stick to HTML4.01
I am embarassed to point to this article at ALA, but do I
have a choice? So: http://lachy.id.au/log/2005/12/xhtml-beginners
There's a "simple" form on my work site that has irked me for months now. And despite deducing your technique at a glance, brilliant me, I never once thought of this on my own.
Your article exemplifies the beauty of this site. "Why default to a value that isn't a valid value?" Simple, excellent point. And kudos on the illustration that accompanies it—my favorite so far!
Just a couple of comments:
bq. I would advise using valid markup by using FIELDSET element instead of non-semantic DIV element.
Daniel - as used in these examples, the
 is being used in a reasonable way. In fact - if you were to simply replace them with a <fieldset> you'd be going too far. The <fieldset> is to group related controls, so to be used properly in this case it would need to be around both input fields and/or the login button. And if that were done, you'd still need another container around the form controls for a style hook.
bq. Please note: FIELDSET element is required in forms in XHTML 1.0 Strict.
Daniel - can you point to where this requirement is spelled out? I'm reading the DTD for XHTML 1.0 Strict and I see that a form must contain one or more block level elements (of which <fieldset> is one) but I don't see a specific requirement for it to be a <fieldset>.
Finally, if you can clarify one thing:
bq. I am sorry for the misunderstanding, but was outraged to see that you recommend something that is not accessible.
What _exactly_ is the accessibility problem with the examples? are you simply referring to the use of
 instead of <fieldset>? Or are you referring to something else?
with JS disabled, example is not accessible or usable anymore because of the overwritten text. this could be handled by JS applied only after CSS formatting (i.e. change the CSS via JS).
bq. with JS disabled, example is not accessible or usable anymore because of the overwritten text. this could be handled by JS applied only after CSS formatting (i.e. change the CSS via JS).
Absolutely - agreed.
What of the the other points I made, though? In particular, the *requirement* for a <fieldset> in a form? I am asking seriously because if you've read that somewhere then it doesn't match what I'm seeing in the DTD and that should be pointed out to the incorrect resource.
You can use DIV as it is block element as well. But FIELDSET is much more correct for this purpose. IMHO, using non-semantic elements for any purposes is not way to advocate web standards.
As for the argument that FIELDSET should group similar form fields, username and password are of one group (e.g. login fields).
How would You handle an error message? (eg. The email adress entered is not valid.)
Thanks for a good article!
It's a good technique, and it works well. I've just tested it on several mobile devices using a couple of different browsers and it degrades beautifully. It also works just fine-and-dandy with JAWS 8.0…
... that makes it pretty accessible in my book! ;)
I'm not aware of a requirement for a fieldset, but I do feel it would have been better to use it in lieu of a div in the example and in a real world implementation. One could style the fieldset element however one wishes to the best of my knowledge, to include making it so it's not be seen at all.
Daniel - thanks for responding…
bq. You can use DIV as it is block element as well. But FIELDSET is much more correct for this purpose. IMHO, using non-semantic elements for any purposes is not way to advocate web standards.
bq. As for the argument that FIELDSET should group similar form fields, username and password are of one group (e.g. login fields).
Yes, a <fieldset> is appropriate to use in a form. Yes, username and password are of one group. However, to simply use a <fieldset> instead of
 as the examples are coded, you'd have a <fieldset> around each label/input pair and that would be next to useless as you're not grouping _anything_. You'd then need some other styling hook (like a
) around each pair to properly apply the styles (as coded).
And Mike Cherim is right - there is no requirement for a <fieldset> as any block level element will do. But, as a straight replacement for the
s used to wrap each label/input pair, <fieldset> could very easily be seen as inappropriate as it is not grouping any related controls. If anything, the <fieldset> should go around both the username and password fields to group them, not around each individually.
I'm done now. :)
I think that you should add cursor:text; to the label.overlabel-apply{} because the default cursor may confuse a little the users.
You need to degrade gracefully this of course doesn't work however I would recommend something more along the lines of:

#1: The kids love to put their feet on the back of the seats which has made them nasty and dirty. Dislike!
#2: With my older kids - we have more small toys, notebooks, pencils and books lingering on the floor along with empty wrappers, paper and other garbage. Major dislike.
This led me to the idea to sew up a little garbage bag for the trash. Well, that simple project turned in to a bigger project ... back seat organizers for each of the kids.
I did a little research on Google and determined that I really just needed to measure my car and start sewing based on the functions I wanted for my kids and needs. I had picked up a yard of some great outdoor canvas at JoAnn's awhile back for just $3. It was perfect, and I love how I could use the stripes in opposite directions to add some interest to the organizers.
I added pockets on the bottom to hold coloring books/notebooks and toys. With these two pockets, I added a simple pleat in the middle of each pocket so that they can expand a bit. On the larger pocket, I added a smaller front pocket just large enough to hold a box of crayons.
For the top row of pockets I actually made two sets of pockets. A larger back pocket for books, toys, etc. and a shorter front row of pockets to hold writing pencils, snacks, small toys, etc.
On the top, I sewed on a couple of straps that I simply tied around the posts for the head rests. I decided on ties so that I can easily remove these and wash them if necessary (see #1 above regarding the feet on the seat issue).
On the bottom of the panels, I sewed on a couple of inexpensive plastic rings which allowed me to put a small bungee cord through and attach to the bottom of the seat. This holds the organizer flat against the back of the seat so that it does not impede on the leg room of the back seat.
Finally, for the front seat, I whipped up a simply bag that can be lined with a plastic shopping bag to collect trash. (Yes, I have that looped around my car charger right now - I plan to add a little hook, just need to head to the dollar store.) Love it!

East Asia and Pacific countries can do better in labor regulation and social protection
Those unfamiliar with the fast growing emerging economies of East Asia are likely to think that governments in these countries let market forces and capitalism roam free, red in tooth and claw. That was certainly my impression before coming to work in the region, and generally that held at the outset of our work by the group of us that wrote a new World Bank report "East Asia Pacific At Work: Employment, Enterprise and Wellbeing" .
The report shows just how wrong we were. We could be forgiven this impression—many of us had come from assignments in Latin America and the Caribbean or in Europe and Central Asia, where the distortions and rigidities from labor regulation and poorly designed social protection are rife, and where policy makers cast envious looks at the stellar and sustained employment outcomes in East Asia.
Well, it turns out that although they came relatively late to labor regulation and social protection, many governments in the region have entered this arena with gusto. We were surprised to find that, going just by what is written in their labor codes, the average level of employment protection in East Asia is actually higher than the OECD average.

Binding: 5/8 yard of your choice
Backing: 5/15 yard of your choice (if you will be using your scraps, this will be smaller)
I did not use any particular pattern for the color combination, so feel free to be as creative as you like. I did use 1 charm square for the middle of the Robot.
1. Take 4 pieces of your basic white layer cake and sew together to make 1 large square. Make sure you press your seams (there won't be another chance to do this later).
2. I found the easiest way to keep the different blocks organized is to lay all the pieces for the robot on each square and pin them all down (so you don't lose any). Then when you finish one Robot you have everything ready to start the next. (You could also do an assembly type of system if you desire; do whatever you feel comfortable with).
3. I ended up sewing and pinning each block in layers. I first took the middle section of the robot and the head – pinned them down and then sewed each piece on – then used them as a single piece for assembling the Robot.
4. I sewed on the eyes with a "+" sign since the pupil of the eye is so small. This is an easy and fun way to attach the eyes.
6. Before you start sewing on the Robot pieces, layout each piece to set up the correct alignment. Make sure that you leave at least ½" around the border of the background block. Once you have everything laid out, pin down the bottom layer of Robot.
7. Then take off the top layer of the Robot and sew the bottom layer on. After you're done, trim off your thread pieces.
8. Now pin down the top layer of the Robot (you should use all of the remaining pieces of the Robot now) and then sew and trim again.
1. Sew together your 5"x10" pieces together now (keep them random). Only sew together 2 pieces at a time and on the 5" side. You will then end up with 18 – 5"x9.5"
1. Robot piece (5"x9.5") + White Rocket square (5"x5") + Robot piece (5"x9.5") + White Rocket square (5"x5") + Robot piece (5"x9.5")
2. 3. Robot block + Robot piece (5"x9.5") sideways + Robot block + Robot piece (5"x9.5") sideways + Robot block
5. Baste, quilt and bind as desired. A fun way to use your remaining scraps is to create a fun pieced back like the following.

Knowing Reality, and how Reality works, is all a human ever needs to know.
Almost as soon as a human is born, he begins packing information into his head. It comes from many sources, almost none of which know anything about Reality and how Reality works.
Throughout a human's life, this packing-in of information continues, until his poor head becomes like a rock-filled backpack, making him top-heavy, unbalanced, and crazy.
Lucky indeed is the man who finally dumps it all, and floats away, unencumbered.
Dharma: What it is, and how it works.
How it works, in this instance, refers not to knowing about the mechanics of the thing, or the theory behind it.
It refers to an appreciation that it does work, and will reliably continue to work, completely independently of human intervention.
Reality works.
You can choose to get with the program, and seamlessly integrate with it, or view it from the outside, like a movie, where any bad stuff is merely fictitious, and there are no consequences.
Dharma involves submission, of the voluntary kind. Because that is the way it works. To actually live life, is to include oneself within it.
Chill, man. Relax. The only thing you really need to do is become aware of the most overlooked treasure of all:
The breathtaking gift of being alive, of living, at all.
How It Works.
Research, diseases, cures, supplements, yoga, jogging, healthy living...

Just illustrating that there IS a different path.
Re: How It Works.
I always find the reminder that being alive is a wonderful thing a hopeful point to make. However, discussions of reality and knowing it often leave me considering the implications of the two slit experiment and quantum mechanics. When I read books about the interesting universal conclusions physicists like Steve Hagen comes to I'm impressed by the idea that time is an entirely derivative pereception that our biology depends on. Reality on very small and very large scales does not seem to be a easily altered consideration in the linear existence we cling to as individuals and a society.

McDonald's has once again enlisted an athlete to promote a new menu item, but health isn't the focus this time, football is.
McDonald's new Mighty Wings aren't especially good for you. They're not toxic or anything — a 5-piece order weighs in at a reasonable 480 calories, with 31 grams of fat (7 grams of them saturated), 20 grams of carbohydrate and 1450mg of sodium — but they don't have the health halo of the Egg White Delight, for which McDonald's enlisted the help of Olympics gymnast Gabby Douglas, or the Premium McWrap, for which then-New York Knicks forward Steve Novak touted its convenience and nutrition.
But the Mighty Wings are chicken wings — the appetizer most intimately tied to football. So McDonald's brought New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz to the chain's iconic Times Square location and invited local press to ask him questions while he just generally added his considerable star appeal to the proceedings.
This is a picture of him listening to a question from a Spanish speaking member of the media, which Mr. Cruz answered in Spanish, so I don't know what he said. Earlier on he answered questions about what he ate as a kid when watching football games growing up in New Jersey (he said he ate dishes like arroz con pollo or whatever his abuela cooked).
He also is apparently no stranger to chicken wings, and he demonstrated his enthusiasm for them at this press conference that officially launches the wings, which will be available through October, or while supplies last, for $2.99 for three pieces, $4.79 for five pieces and $8.99 for 10 pieces, although of course prices may vary by location blah blah blah [insert required disclaimers typical for any franchise organization here].
Jim Lewis, the franchisee for the Times Square location, said they'd been available at his restaurants for about a week.
This particular version of McDonald's chicken wings are inspired by the large wings sold at the chain's Hong Kong locations, according to the press release McDonald's handed out at the event.
They are, indeed, pretty big wings, with a nice crunch and a spicy kick in the breading, which is spiked with a hot pepper blend.
Lewis told me this isn't the first time McDonald's has offered wings; he said they had them about 15 years ago, too.
"We ran, frankly, into supply issues and demand issues," he told me.
It seems like those issues would be even more challenging today, but Lewis said the fact that it was a relatively short limited-time offering helped offset that.
He also pointed out that the wing promotion tied in well with the current $4.99 20-piece McNugget promotion to reinforce the idea that McDonald's is a place to go for group snacking during football season.
I hadn't thought of that.

Wild Horses
This week came and went in the blink of an eye. How there is only a week left of October, I do not know. Things have been so busy. So "good" busy. And maybe that's why this month, out of the past many, many months of this journey, has seemed unusually uplifting...enlightening...and peaceful.
Peace is something I've been striving for. Not just in this journey...but in life, always.
To me, peace truly is a gift. It lets the mind think clearly and confidently. It brings on a strength like no other. It helps you see things in a different light...a much brighter light. It brings more beauty to even the littlest of things.
With how GO GO GO things have been, I've managed to make sense of a lot this month. I've worked through some emotions that I tried to repress for so long. I cried a lot while driving. A lot in times to myself. Deep, cleansing tears. Tears that helped me breathe easier. My period is due any day now. Most likely tomorrow or Sunday. Do I think I'm pregnant? No. I really don't. I haven't tested. Though tests are in my possession, I don't want to do that to myself right now. And Steve agrees, to just wait it out. I know anything can happen...we shall see.
Plus, this weekend is about much more than a stupid period.
It's about celebrating love alongside two dear friends.
I have plenty of time next week to deal with what may come. And I predict many "pour my heart out" posts in the near future.
It's been a struggle each time my period arrives. * Do we try again? Do we move on? But how? Will I be strong enough to close this chapter and begin another? Oh, why not just ONE more try! This will be the last try, I promise* And then, the vicious cycle starts all over...along with my lovely cycle.
Heck, it's been a struggle all the times it didn't show. Just last Sunday, was the due date from our last pregnancy/last loss. I didn't think so much of what could have been as much as I thought about the time that had passed. 9 more months out of these past 24. It may sound crazy, but when I hear "9 months," I automatically think *BABY*...
9 months = a baby...or does it?!
It has been a "whole baby" since we were pregnant last. I can't say we've gotten nowhere in that time. I can't say I regret trying again and again. I admit, there are still times I let those *hows and whys* creep into my mind. Steve too. But you know, those *hows and whys*...they don't matter as much anymore. Because, in the end...THEY DON'T MATTER AT ALL. What matters is HOW we get there together, as a team.
What matters is focusing on WHY and WHAT is important for us in the big picture.
My next post will be a happy one. You all know how I love sharing happy memories. This weekend we celebrate LOVE. The best feeling of em' all.
The following posts are swarming around...they've always been. They just are finally beginning to come to the surface.
And I'm ready to write them.
These lyrics sing to me. They sum up the thoughts in my mind and feelings in my heart...the ones that at times have consumed me over this journey...
Each time I listen to this song, I feel stronger...I feel understood.
I feel like I understand myself better and like I am getting to that place...those "greener pastures" she sings of...
"I feel these 4 walls closing in
My face up against the glass
I'm looking out
Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
Its greener pastures I'm thinking about
Wide open spaces far away
All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
Run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!
I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare back, care free along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head first headlong without a thought
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break free
All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared
Recklessly abandoning my self before you
I wanna open up my heart tell him how I feel
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses"
*Now, it's time to take my last sip of coffee and start getting ready for a weekend of LOVE.
Wishing everyone a sweet weekend filled with LOVE and JOY and PEACE!!
*and of course, few pictures from this week...
"You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith"
We pray...
To feel free of fear...to remain full of faith...to feel confident in our decisions and to realize that we deserve a chance to breathe...no matter what comes our way...
Weekend Hugs n' Lovin',

Hi Maria,
This is reflective and also inspirational. Life certainly has its ups and downs but I can see that you are trying to look at the brighter side. I am also working to do the same. It is not always easy but I am fighting on. I wish you an enjoyable weekend.

Hello lovely lady :) I'm sorry about lack of being around. Week has been CRAZY!!! My almost appearance on the Dr. Phil show blew my mind, so I've been here - just not here. Make sense? Good :) I wanna tell you a story about one of my close friends. Her and her husband had (see that had) been trying to have a baby since 2008 - we were in fact trying to get pregnant at the same time to have cute little babies together. After a while she gave up. Then they faced that they just weren't going to be parents and they were seriously okay with it. They went on a vacation - to Disney World, a month later she tested because she was late - and she was pregnant. It can happen ... and it will happen. Even if that means going to Disney World -let the memories begin :) Keep your head up, and know you have lots and lots of support :) Hugs.

First of all, can I just say I love all of your outfits? Every time you post a picture I'm all... "omg, where did she get that??"
It's Sunday right now, and I am praying... begging... that af doesn't show. I know what you mean about wanting to give up. It takes a lot of courage, and strength to keep trying... and woman, you have boat loads of it. I honestly look up to you.
Hope your weekend is as peaceful as the rest of the month has been!

- PARAMETERS FOR new() CONSTRUCTOR
HTML::Mason::Parser - Mason Component Parser
my $p = new HTML::Mason::Parser (...params...);
A Parser object translates components into Perl subroutines. Parsers are typically embedded within (and used by) Interp objects.
PARAMETERS FOR new() CONSTRUCTOR
These parameters affect the way that components are translated into Perl code. If you change a Parser's options, you must remove any previously created object files for the changes to take effect. See also "Object files" in HTML::Mason::Admin.
- allow_globals
List of variable names, complete with prefix (
$@%), that you intend to use as globals in components. Normally global variables are forbidden by
strict, but any variable mentioned in this list is granted a reprieve via a "use vars" statement. For example:
allow_globals => [qw($DBH %session)]
In a mod_perl environment,
$r(the request object) is automatically added to this list.
- default_escape_flags
Escape flags to apply to all <% %> expressions by default. The current valid flags are
h - escape for HTML ('<' => '<', etc.) u - escape for URL (':' => '%3A', etc.)
The developer can override default escape flags on a per-expression basis; see "escaping_expressions" in HTML::Mason::Devel.
- ignore_warnings_expr
Regular expression indicating which warnings to ignore when compiling subroutines. Any warning that is not ignored will prevent the component from being compiled and executed. For example:
ignore_warnings_expr => 'Global symbol.*requires explicit package'
If undef, all warnings are heeded; if '.', all warnings are ignored.
By default, this is set to 'Subroutine .* redefined'. This allows you to declare global subroutines inside <%once> sections and not receive an error when the component is reloaded.
- in_package
Indicates the name of the package you wish your components to run in. This way different applications or virtual hosts can be run in different name spaces. Default is
- postamble
A piece of Perl code to insert at the end of every compiled subroutine. Blank by default. See "preamble" in HTML::Mason::Parser.
- postprocess
Sub reference that is called to postprocess the code and text portions of a compiled component, just before it is assembled into its final subroutine form. The sub is called with two parameters, a scalar reference to the script and a string containing either "perl" or "alpha" depending on whether the string is code or text respectively. The sub is expected to process the string in-place. It will be called multiple times, once for each piece of code and text.
This is the ideal place to translate accents into HTML entities. It could also be used to strip out comments that you have in your HTML files that you don't want the end user to see. See "preprocess" in HTML::Mason::Parser.
- preamble
A piece of Perl code to insert at the beginning of every compiled subroutine. Blank by default, but ApacheHandler adds the line
use vars qw($r);
to suppress strict warnings about uses of global $r (the Apache request object). See "postamble" in HTML::Mason::Parser.
- preprocess
Sub reference that is called to preprocess each component before Parser does it's magic. The sub is called with a single parameter, a scalar reference to the script. The sub is expected to process the script in-place. This is one way to extend the HTML::Mason syntax with new tags, etc. See "postprocess" in HTML::Mason::Parser.
- taint_check
This flag allows Mason to work when taint checking is on (e.g. PerlTaintCheck or
-Tflag). If true, Mason will pass all component source and filenames through a dummy regular expression match to untaint them. In the future this option may become more sophisticated to allow stricter checks. Default is false.
- use_strict
Indicates whether to use strict in compiled subroutines. Default is true.
Most of the above properties have standard accessor methods of the same name: no arguments retrieves the value, and one argument sets it. For example:
my $parser = new HTML::Mason::Parser;
my $strictmode = $parser->use_strict;
The only exception is "allow_globals" in HTML::Mason::Parser, which works a bit differently.
- allow_globals (varnames)
Called with no arguments, this returns the value of allow_globals as a list. Called with one or more variable names, it appends the names to the existing list, removing duplicates if any.
- make_component ([script=>..., script_file=>..., error=>...])
This method compiles a component source script into an Component object. The source may be passed in as a string in script, or as a filename in script_file.
Returns the new Component object on success, or undef if an error occurred. error is an optional scalar reference filled with the error message.
Example of usage:
# Make a component my $comp = $parser->make_component (script=>'<%perl>my $name = "World";</%perl>Hello <% $name %>!', error => \my $error) or die "error while compiling component: $error"; # Call it from inside another component $m->comp($comp);
- make_dirs (comp_root=>..., data_dir=>..., [paths=>[...], verbose=>0|1, predicate=>sub {...}, dir_create_mode=>..., update_reload_file=>0|1])
make_dirs traverses a tree of components, compiles any out-of-date components into object files, and reports errors.
comp_root and data_dir contain the Mason component root and data directory respectively. These are required.
paths is a reference to a list of component paths to make recursively. By default, makes '/' (the entire component tree).
verbose is a flag indicating whether to report components compiled and directories created. True by default.
predicate is a subroutine that takes one argument, the component source file, and returns true or false indicating whether or not to try to compile it. By default predicate ignores all filenames ending with "~".
dir_create_mode contains the permissions mode for creating new directories, by default 0775.
update_reload_file is a flag indicating whether to update a reload file in the data directory as components are recompiled. False by default.
Example of usage:
#!/usr/bin/perl use HTML::Mason; use HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler; # load explicitly to bring in special $m-> commands my $p = new HTML::Mason::Parser; $p->allow_globals(qw($r)); # allow Apache $r global $p->make_dirs (comp_root=>'/usr/home/swartz/web/comps', data_dir=>'/usr/home/swartz/web/mason');

LCFS report director Alex Farrell discusses nationwide implementation of Calif. fuels plan
With several proposals in the House and Senate for the creation of a nationwide low carbon fuel standard (LCFS), California's LCFS plan is seen as a model for what the rest of the nation can achieve. During today's OnPoint, Alex Farrell, director of the UC Berkley Transportation Sustainability Research Center and director of the report, "A Low Carbon Fuel Standard for California," discusses the feasibility of California's proposal to reduce the carbon intensity of its transportation fuels by 10 percent by 2020. Farrell says the most successful national approach will seek to regulate the effect of global warming and will allow the market to choose which technologies will be best for creating low carbon fuels. Farrell also compares California's low carbon fuel standard to President Bush's 20-in-10 proposal.

Here i am again
I've been away for a long time because my engine (1991 gen2 3sgte) cracked near the water pump and i had to save money for the repair work.
I found an used gen2 block in good conditions, and i bought all the necessary for the resuscitation of my All Trac.
My setup is:
Gen2 head with Gen3 camshafts
Gen2 block with:
- Cometic steel head gasket (thick as the original stock)
- CP pistons (86,5mm diameter)
- Eagle rods
- ACL complete bearing set
- Stainless Steel exhaust system
- Crankshaft and flywheel balanced
I'd like to keep the original ECU. What is your opinion about?
Here there are some pics of the old and new engine:
Thank you for your help

American-style (Republican) Christianity
Stupid or Evil?
low IQ buffoonery
Fox News
Sean Hannity
Sean Hannity: Do you think everybody goes to Heaven?
Colton Burpo: Um…. No. Not everybody does go to Heaven.
Sean Hannity: How do you know?
Colton Burpo, the little boy who had an NDE on an operating table a few years back and claimed to have been to Heaven, has had his experiences "there" recounted in several Heaven is for Real books that have sold like hotcakes to people desperate to believe they will live forever in the Kingdom of Heaven, eternally youthful, kickin' it with their homeboy Jesus C. and all the dead people they ever knew.
Watch this clip of Colton promoting his parents' books (his dad is a minister and radio broadcaster, natch) and a major Hollywood film about to come out based on this fiction. From where I'm sitting it seems rather obvious that this kid is lying through his teeth and Sean Hannity is just too stupid not to uncritically believe every word of it.
This is truly remarkable, Marjoe Gortner-level hoodoo nonsense. Even by the admittedly sad standards of Fox News, this is riveting in its abject stupidity…
Colton Burpo: Heaven is… such an amazing place and… and you just want to be there for a long time. I mean, I didn't wanna come back.
Sean Hannity: What's the difference… in other words, what did you see? What did you feel? Who did you meet?
Colton Burpo: Well, I saw a lot of stuff… In Heaven there are a lot of colors, but there's even more than we have down here on Earth. Also I got to meet my great grandpa and my sister who was miscarriaged and… it just feels like home.
Hannity: And she came up to you? Are you there physically or spiritually?
Colton Burpo: You are there physically. You do have your own body.
Hannity: You were there in your body?
Colton Burpo: Well, not my earthly body, they were working on my earthly body.
Hannity: It's the same? You look the same, relatively speaking?
Colton Burpo: Relatively speaking. If you die an old man or an old woman, you'll be in your prime, like your late 20s, early 30s.
Hannity: And you say that you met Jesus Christ and God. (Colton nods) Can you describe God and Jesus Christ?
Colton Burpo: Well, Jesus was more like the humanoid version. He's the one you can relate to because he… loves you so much and he's actually your size, so you can like walk with him and talk with him.
Hannity: And you talked with him?
Colton Burpo: Yes.
Hannity: And he talked to you?
Colton Burpo: Yes.
Hannity: What did he say?
Colton Burpo: Well, I can't remember what all it was that we talked about because some of it he even taught me! God has not allowed me to remember what Jesus has taught me.
Hannity: You saw God?
It just gets worse—and even more painfully funny—from there…
You can easily see why Hannity's audience would eat this shit up, because it sounds exactly like something they already believe. Of course every mean old Archie Bunker watching Fox News will be young again in Heaven. Forever and ever! Throw away that Viagra! No need for it in Heaven, you'll be 30 again soon, dude…
This is why there needs to a separation between church and state: America is a country full to the bursting point with idiots.

I have done this because you have limited strength, yet you have obeyed My word and have not denied My name. 9 Watch, and I will make those of the congregation of Satan—those who call themselves 'Jews' but are not because they lie—come before you penitent, falling at your feet. Then they will know how much I have loved you. 10 Because you have obeyed My instructions to endure and be patient, I will protect you from the time of trial which will come upon the whole earth and put everyone in it to the test. 11 I will soon return. Hold tight to what you have so that no one can take away your victor's wreath.

Last week, Jan Wilson posted a letter on the door of Cafette, the small yellow-brick restaurant at 8136 Ardleigh St. that she ran for 21 years, announcing she was closing it and searching for a new owner.
Wilson recently earned a degree in acupuncture, and said she would open up a temporary practice at the restaurant site. In the letter to the community, which follows, Wilson is offering complimentary acupuncture sessions.
Becoming an acupuncturist is, she wrote in her letter, the culmination of a 10-year plan.
The small BYOB has been a neighborhood institution and was often full to capacity for both lunch and dinner.
It had, several years ago, completed renovations that added outdoor seating in the side-yard garden. It was the only restaurant in Chestnut Hill not on or adjacent to Germantown Avenue.
Wilson said in the letter that she waslooking for the"right restaurant operator"to take over the business.
Her letter:
Dear Friends,
I want to thank you very much for being loyal customers to my family and me over the years. It has been a true joy to get to know you. You trusted me to host weddings, bridal showers, funerals, birthday parties, and everyday meals. The season has come, however, for me to close my dear restaurant.
While I am waiting to find the right restaurant operator to take over, I am setting up a temporary acupuncture clinic in Cafette. As some of you know, I have fulfilled my ten-year plan to become an acupuncturist. My personal health has been profoundly helped by acupuncture. I cannot tell you how inspiring it is to experience how helpful acupuncture can be for many different illnesses, including migraine headaches, insomnia, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, poor digestion, arthritis, stress and anxiety, allergies, painful periods, sexual dysfunction, and chronic and acute pain syndromes.
I invite you with full heart to phone or email me to discuss how acupuncture might improve and support your health and well being. For the month of September I am happy to offer you a complimentary auricular acupuncture treatment so you can experience the healing possibilities of acupuncture for yourself.
Again, thank you for your support and presence at Cafette. I hope very much that we can continue to share our lives during my transition from comfort food to comfort by acupuncture in this wonderful community of Chestnut Hill.
With Deep Gratitude,
Jan Wilson
