I had been thinking about taking part in Blogtober this year, but decided against it. However, two days ago I changed my mind!
What is Blogtober?
Blogtober is a challenge that many bloggers take part in during the month of October. The one simple rule is to publish a new blog post every day in October, totalling 31 blog posts! Many bloggers choose to post Autumn / Halloween related content, but this isn’t essential.
Last October, I accidentally took part in Blogtober! How is this possible? Well, I had only started my blog in September last year and I set myself the challenge to publish a blog post every day in October. This was before I had even heard of Blogtober!
Reasons why I wasn’t going to do Blogtober this year
I liked the idea of following on from last year and posting every day in October again. I knew this would be a step up from last year though, mostly in terms of the time commitment. This time last year I was writing much shorter posts, without giving any thought to formatting, SEO, images or social media. Therefore I was able to churn out most of my October posts within an hour or two, and sometimes even less. Since then, I have gone back and updated many of those posts.
I knew that taking part in Blogtober would be a good thing for my blog, but I wasn’t sure if it would be the best thing for my life in general. I have several other projects and goals I am working on at the moment, and I felt that Blogtober would completely take over. Also, I thought I would be likely to burn out if I tried to complete a blog post every day.
I knew that if I did take part in Blogtober, I would need to write shorter, simpler posts so that I could realistically get one completed every day without burning out. However, I didn’t want to compromise on the quality of my blog posts, and I felt that the topics I usually write about deserve sufficient time and thought to be put into them. I didn’t want to rush my blog posts, or post things just for the sake of it.
This is why I decided that maybe it was in my best interest not to do Blogtober this year, and just to carry on posting at regular intervals as usual.
Why I changed my mind
I realised that if I were to take part in Blogtober, the most time-efficient way would be to have a theme – something that I could do every day and write about, that would only require a short post but would be valuable. I thought of a few ideas, but none of them were really things I wanted to do this coming month.
Then I thought about being very cliché and writing Autumn / Halloween related posts. At first I thought, ‘That would be a waste of time, I could be writing about much more deep and meaningful things than that’. But I gradually realised that I could make this theme fit with my current goals, projects and principles in unexpected ways.
Therefore I have decided that I WILL be taking part in Blogtober after all! My challenge will be to do something Autumnal or Halloween related every day, and to blog about it.
Reasons why it is a good idea for me to do Blogtober
It will help me to lighten up and enjoy life.
I can be a very serious person sometimes, and I become so engrossed in all the things I am doing to get where I want to be in life, that I forget to just enjoy the moment and have a good time.
I love Autumn, and every year I say to myself that this Autumn is going to be the most ‘Autumny Autumn’ yet – “I’m going to go for lots of walks in crunchy leaves, drink warming spiced drinks and take part in lots of Halloween activities.” But it never quite happens. The season goes by in a blur and although I have moments of Autumnal-ness, I often feel as though I didn’t quite make the most of it.
By doing something Autumnal or Halloween related every day, I will really get into the spirit of the season. I truly believe this will be the best October yet!
It will make a good monthly challenge
If you visit my blog regularly you will know that I like to set myself a challenge every month. Blogtober will form my October challenge!
Behind the scenes, I will also be carrying on with my Using Up Challenge that I have been doing since June. That challenge is still going well, but I don’t have much more to report on it at the moment.
It means I can write short posts
Each day I will simply write about the Autumnal / Halloween thing(s) I have done that day. This shouldn’t take too long, and should be fairly simple to write… or so I think!
I can adapt to my schedule
I don’t have to spend a long time on this challenge every day. If I have a busy day, I can do an activity that doesn’t take very long, such as making an autumnal drink. It won’t take long to write a post about that.
It will help me connect to other bloggers
I am hoping that my readers will enjoy the short, light-hearted posts I am planning to write. It will also provide an opportunity for me to connect with other bloggers who are taking part in Blogtober, especially those that are also writing Autumnal themed posts. We can take inspiration from each other, and celebrate each others progress through the month!
If you are a blogger and you are taking part in Blogtober, let me know in the comments!
It will help me socialise in real life
I have a tendency to be quite a solitary person, but I am determined to bring a social aspect to this challenge. I could easily do many of the autumnal activities on my own, but that would be kind of sad and lonely. Therefore I will try and make it as social as possible. I will plan ahead to go to Autumnal events and places with people, and I will incorporate Autumn themed activities into my day-to-day social interactions. I will also share and tell people about the things I have been doing.
This will help me with my goal of overcoming social anxiety and becoming a more confident and sociable person in general, by bringing excitement and variety into my social interactions.
It will help me to switch things up and break my routine
I have been feeling a bit stuck lately in certain aspects of my life, and I’ve found that sometimes the best remedy for stuckness is to do something COMPLETELY different! Even if it seems unrelated to the problems I am trying to solve. Blogtober will provide a fun distraction from the things that were getting me down, and will bring me opportunities to try things I have never done before.
It will also switch up my blog. A lot of my posts have been quite serious, so it will be an interesting experiment to see how I get on with writing more light-hearted posts, and whether my audience enjoys them.
It will give my blog a boost
I am hoping that by posting every day, I will see a boost in traffic to my blog. This is especially true if I share my posts on social media and connect with other bloggers who are doing Blogtober. I hope to post lots of Autumnal photos on my Instagram too, which is a platform I have neglected lately.
What kinds of activities will I do?
During the past few days I have been doing lots of planning for Blogtober, and I have come up with a huge list of Autumnal and Halloween themed activities to do this month! I am very excited about it. I am not going to share all my ideas in this post because I want to keep them a surprise! However, I will reveal that my list includes a few classics such as walking in crunchy leaves, putting up Halloween decorations and carving a pumpkin!
I will do at least one different Autumnal or Halloween themed activity every day, but I can absolutely do more than one if I want to, and I can repeat activities throughout the month.
I have made a rough plan for what activity to do each day, but that is only a guide. Some activities will require planning in advance, such as attending events or visiting attractions, especially if I organise to go with other people. However I will also be spontaneous. I will look for ways to incorporate the theme into my days, whether I am at home or out and about.
Keeping it Sustainable
I do my best to live a sustainable and environmentally-friendly lifestyle, and I plan to stick to my principles and make this a sustainable Blogtober. Here are some of the ways I hope to achieve this:
- If I buy anything, like decorations or costumes, I will buy them second hand.
- I will take things like decorations back to charity shops when the season has ended.
- I will stick to a vegan diet when it comes to Autumnal drinks and Halloween treats.
- I will include some activities that help good causes.
- I will stay as local as possible, and share lifts to Autumnal and Halloween events.
Will I be posting any other blog posts in October?
I will exclusively post Blogtober themed posts in October, but I will still carry on working on other posts behind the scenes. If I manage to complete any, I will save them to publish in November.
Here’s to a fantastically fun, Autumnal and spooky Blogtober!
I’m really looking forward to this challenge, and I hope you will enjoy reading my posts. If you haven’t already, please feel free to subscribe to my blog so that you can keep up-to-date with my Autumnal activities!

A concert arranged by Sir Archibald Hamilton, Bart., was held (as briefly mentioned in our last issue) on Friday evening, 16th inst., at the Cinema Hall, Selsey, in aid of the funds of the Royal West Sussex Hospital, which was attended a very large and representative audience. Amongst the patrons were the following: Monsieur Santa Maria (French Consul for Sussex), Her Grace the Duchess of Norfolk, His Grace the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, K.G., Lord and Lady Edmund Talbot, the Earl and Countess of March. Sir Edward Holden, Bart., Vice-Admiral Sir George Patey, K.C.V.O., and Lady Patey.

S. and Mrs. Simpson, Mr. H. A. and Mrs. Smith. The programme was varied and proved to be a real musical treat, high-class in character and excellent and brilliant in execution, indeed, it is impossible to particularise or to speak especially of any one item more than another, except to say that the lead off bv the pipers of H.M. Scots Guards aroused an enthusiasm which was maintained during the whole of the performance. Those who contributed to the programme were The Originals. Pipers of the Scots Guards, Mrs. Apperley, Miss Nellie Corner, Miss Dorothy Forster, Miss Gladys Podmore, Mr. Podmore, Miss Billie St. Denis, Mrs. Simpson, and Miss Margot Tomlins. Following the interval Sir Archibald Hamilton. Bart., mounted the platform and after speaking of the good work done at the hospital, thanked all those ladies and gentlemen who had come forward and voluntarily given their services in the sacred cause of Charity, and to Mrs. Baron and Mrs. Gardner and many other helpers who had so successfully carried out the arrangements. The Secretary of the hospital, Alderman H. S. Aylmore, responded on behalf of the Board of Management and thanked Sir Archibald and all those who assisted him, briefly quoting figures showing the number of patients that had been admitted to the hospital during the past year, and the cost of maintaining them. He at the some time pointed out that it was the "County Hospital,’’ and the benefits as well as the responsibility belonged just as much to Selsey as to Chichester or any other part of the county. He also stated that he had that afternoon received a cheque from Mr. Meakin, of the Marine Hotel, for £l7 16s., the result of billiard handicap, and that in a village very near to them another hotel proprietor had arranged a weekly vegetable competition entirely amongst working men. which had realised £10 14s 9d. He suggested that other hotel proprietors might well follow their example and go and do likewise. The financial result was as follows Tickets sold and taken at the doors, £74 16s. 4d.; donations were added to a total of, £l50. The whole of the expenses were defrayed by Sir Archibald Hamilton, Bart.

I can only compare the business of buying my chair to the business of sales and purchases in general.I ordered, was given a delivery estimate, it was honoured. What more is there to say. That is what we both expect thougth so often don't achieve. There is no greater compliment can be given than to acknowledge the compste transaction exactly as specified, at the price, and time agreed.

Tonight the boyfriend and I ran the Glow in the Park 5K
at Queeny Park. I purchased his entry for him as one of his birthday gifts, and we had been looking forward to the race all week! We ate dinner before going to packet pick-up, which ran from 6:30 - 8:20 p.m. At packet pick-up we received our gender-specific shirts, glow sticks, glow paint, a protein drink, and little lights that I saw most people put on their shoes. Picking up our packet was a breeze. The porta-potties were right in the parking lot and parking was literally right at the starting line.
|Glow in the Park SWAG|
After we applied our glow paint and had our glow sticks ready, all we had to do was wait until the sun set. Music was playing at the start line and the DJ played several songs that encouraged us to dance as a warm up. This was a very family-friendly race and I saw a good mix of families with children, groups of young adults, and couples.
|Paint applied, just waiting for the sun to set|
We were released in waves since the 5K was actually two laps around the park. The course was marked with glow foam sticks and it was very easy to navigate. The first "station" included a black light area where volunteers sprayed you with water guns. We passed through this station quickly, but it looked like there was something in the water to make it glow. The next station was colored powder, followed by a foam station, another colored powder station, and another station with water guns.
|Start Line |
After we made it around the course, we listened to music for a bit and made sure to take a picture in the black light tent. I enjoyed this race and it was apparent that the boyfriend did too! The course was paved, had multiple hills with great views (especially with the full moon tonight), was well-managed (police were on site for assistance), and the looped course made it easier for the volunteers to manage the crowd. This was my first glow run, so I didn't know what to expect, especially on the hottest day of the year so far but I definitely would recommend participating one.

Here ’n’ there
Out Hilo way, the original musical based on characters and themes from a pair of books by poet Frances Kakugawa’s “Wordsworth” series, has sold out its run of matinee shows for grade school Department of Education students, set for Nov. 1-3 at the theater at the University of Hawaii’s Hilo campus.
The play features a mouse-poet, who advocates creating poetry to get through dark times, and provides valuable insights of life lessons. Kids from kindergarten to fifth grade will be attending, and there is an extensive waiting list not likely to diminish.
So parents with young children may want to consider booking the public performances, at 7 p.m. Nov. 4 and 5 and at 2 p.m. Nov. 6. …
The Annual Celebrities and Their Pets Fashion Show – part of the Young at Heart Expo — will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 17 at the Blaisdell Center Exhibition Hall. The pets and celebs event will be at noon, with notables strutting with pooches and kitties who’ll be the ones in fashionable costumes. Admission is free. Al Waterson hosts. …
Broadway grosses, week ending Sept. 4
Maybe it’s because of the 76 trombones, or more likely, Hugh Jackman as Prof. Harold Hill in the titular role in “The Music Man,” that keep this one atop the Broadway gross list: it amassed $2.863 million last week.
Other leaders: “Hamilton” with $2.106 million, at No. 2; “MJ –the Michael Jackson Musical,” with $1.76 million, at No. 3; and “The Lion King,” with $1.757 million, at No. 4.

I oscillate between the emotions of these songs and cannot seem to listen to anything but (sigh). I could have written similar lyrics, or rather have in the last couple weeks. I’ll share when the time is right.
After listening to these songs, and spending a lot of time trying to figure out why things don’t work, I realized that there has always been a third person’s, or group of people’s energy intruding into my relationship. Whether it’s mentally, emotionally, spiritually or physically, or even some combination. The fear of this has always been present, ironically it has come to be a reality from in the heaviest of sorts. Whether or not I would have been better off seeing this earlier I don’t think it matters. The truth is, it’s been here a while, and the truth shall set you free.

THE skies above Sunderland were filled with a breathtaking phenomenon this morning.
Photographer Matt Robinson captured this amazing picture of noctilucent clouds from Seaburn beach at 2am today.
The astronomical phenomena are formed from tiny ice crystals on the edge of space, 250,000ft above the earth.
Matt said noctilucent clouds – loosely translated as “night shining” clouds – can only been seen in certain conditions.
“They happen in the summer months between May and August when the sun doesn’t set to far below the horizon,” he said.
“They are visible only when illuminated by sunlight from below the horizon while the lower layers of the atmosphere are in the Earth’s shadow.
“There weren’t any recordings of them before 1885, so they are a relatively new phenomenon and could be linked to global warming.”
The clouds are more usually spotted at latitudes between 50° and 70° north and south of the equator, and can only be observed when the sun is below the horizon.
•Matt sent us the pictures of this amazing phenomenon using our new photo-sharing box.

What is an electric motor made of?
So, what are these motor component materials made from? Powder metal components for motors generally consist of iron, nickel, and cobalt. Iron is the cheapest of the three, so many designers turn there first. Cobalt is rarely used on its own, but is sometimes added to iron.
How are electric motors produced?
An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor’s magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor’s shaft.
How DC motors are manufactured?
The basic dc motor manufacturing process is illustrated in Fig. 3.6. Like ac motors, the first step is producing laminations for the pole piece and armature. The armature lamination is stacked into a core, which is then assembled onto a shaft, and copper wire is inserted or wound onto the core.
Do electric cars run on AC or DC?
While your electric car motor uses AC, the battery needs to receive its electricity in DC. A conversion from alternative to direct current, either onboard or outside the vehicle, is therefore required. Power from the grid is always AC.
Which motor is best for Electric Car?
Brushless DC Motors BLDC motors have traction characteristics like high starting torque, high efficiency around 95-98%, etc. BLDC motors are suitable for high power density design approach. The BLDC motors are the most preferred motors for the electric vehicle application due to its traction characteristics.
How is an electric generator like an electric motor in reverse?
A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy, while a motor does the opposite – it converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. What’s reversed is the flow of electricity, not the activity of the machine itself.
Why are electric motors important?
Electric motors impact almost every aspect of modern living. Refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, fans, computer hard drives, automatic car windows, and multitudes of other appliances and devices all use electric motors to convert electrical energy into useful mechanical energy.
What are the main parts of electric motor?
Different Parts of an Electric Motor and Their Function
- A power supply – mostly DC for a simple motor.
- Field Magnet – could be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.
- An Armature or rotor.
What are the six parts of a simple motor?
These six components include:
- 1) The Rotor. The rotor is the moving part of your electric motor.
- 3) The Bearings. The rotor in your electric motor is supported by bearings, which allow it to turn on its axis.
- 4) The Windings.
- 5) The Air Gap.
- 6) The Commutator.
- What Do All of These Components Have in Common?
How do you make an electric motor more powerful?
We can increase the turning force (or torque) that the motor can create in three ways: either we can have a more powerful permanent magnet, or we can increase the electric current flowing through the wire, or we can make the coil so it has many “turns” (loops) of very thin wire instead of one “turn” of thick wire.
What are the advantages of DC motors?
Advantages of DC Motors
- Good speed control. DC motors offer highly controllable speed.
- High torque.
- Seamless operation.
- Free from harmonics.
What are the 3 types of DC motors?
Types of DC Motors. There are 3 main types of DC motor that are available:- Series, Shunt and Compound. These terms relate to the type of connection of the field windings with respect to the armature circuit.
What are the applications of DC motor?
Application of DC Series motor
- Air compressor.
- Winching system.
- Electric traction.
- Hair drier.
- Vacuum cleaner and in speed regulation application.

A case of canine oral melanoma and treatment with the canine melanoma vaccine
An eleven-year-old Labrador Retriever presented to Cornell University with oral melanoma, which is a highly malignant tumor. Conventional treatment (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy) has lead to overall median survival times of 6-12 months. New developments in immunotherapy, more specifically the recently licensed canine melanoma vaccine, offer new potential in the treatment of this aggressive cancer. The vaccine is a promising modality for melanoma therapy that can be used alone or preferably in combination with other conventional treatment modalities.

The relationship between antioxidants and brain health is the subject of on-going research. But the fundamental agreement on what to eat for the health of people and the planet just isn’t: various, naturally high-fiber, minimally processed foods, largely vegetation. Eating primarily based on macronutrient numbers isn’t probably useful and is well distracting.\n\nWhen pondering of nutrition weight, life-style, and dislikes should all be taken into consideration. Folks should get the correct amount of all the things in the food pyramid. For example, everyday folks should get 2 – 3 serving of dairy products. And people who have dedicated themselves to this subject, give advices in regards to the respective nutrition and its value are often known as the dietitians.\n\nWhen you only are in a position to take them once/day, then go ahead and take 2, understanding your body won’t be using the complete amount. Again, if you are able to get all your calcium from foods, great. But as we, let’s assume, mature, our bodies change, and many of us can’t handle dairy products like we used to. An excellent substitute is calcium supplements.\n\nSome deficiencies may be Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Iodine, B vitamins, Iron, Zinc and Niacin, all of which are found in vegetables and fruits. Tablet supplements for poor diets help but they do not exchange raw vegetables, fruits and seeds that provide the correct combination of minerals and vitamins required by the body.\n\nThe nutritional supplements are normally obtained after a period of research. Because of this as a mom, you will want to eat three regular meals a day and two snacks to verify your body has enough gas to provide the milk. Most consultants on nutrition for lactating girls agree that choosing balanced meals with plenty of nutrients is the easiest way to ensure you’re getting sufficient vitamins and minerals.\n\nVitamins and minerals usually are not thought of as an vitality source. Vitamins serve as a vital link in metabolic reactions, facilitate vitality release, and are necessary in bone and enamel synthesis.

Ridiculous Rumors Surface About Why Justin Bieber Is Back With Selena Gomez
New rumors have surfaced about why Justin Bieber has been doing everything in his power to get back together with ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez. Justin released a bunch of new tracks about his former girlfriend this year, included on his “Journals” CD. In addition, Justin had told every interviewer who will listen that he is still in love with Selena!
When Selena canceled the rest of her Stars Dance tour and headed home Justin was quick to leave Canada and be nearby Selena in the hopes that she would hang out with him. The pair hadn’t been on speaking terms, but quickly after Selena found out Justin was back in California the two were seen out together for a Segway ride.
Then, Justin shared a cute snap of he and Selena, and it’s clear they have reunited as a couple!
Instead of being happy for them though, some media sites are trying to tear the couple down again, claiming that there is just one reason Justin is back with Selena – drugs. According to the sites Justin believes that Selena is addicted to a number of narcotics and alcohol, and that he thinks he can help get her into rehab.
The sites are claiming that Justin in working with Selena’s former BFF Demi Lovato to help convince her that she needs treatment.
We don’t believe these rumors at all, and we’re excited to see that Justin and Selena are giving their relationship another go now that they have some free time. We’ll keep you posted when we know more about JB and Selena and their plans for their future!

WHEN: Saturday, January 20, at 8:00 pm
WHERE: The Bickford Theatre is located at 6 Normandy Heights Road in Morristown and offers free parking and full accessibility
TICKETS: $45 in advance and $50 at the door and may be purchased by calling the box office at 973-971-3706 or visiting www.morrismuseum.org/jazz-showcase.
Box office hours for phone sales are Monday through Friday, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Walk-up hours are Tuesday through Friday, 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Many performers are children of famous musicians, but it is not always easy to carve an independent path in entertainment world. One can think of Frank Sinatra, Jr. or Natalie Cole as examples. But on January 20, the Bickford Theatre will present the son of a jazz legend who has become a musical star in his own right. Dave Brubeck’s son Chris Brubeck will perform with his group Triple Play whose good-time music draws on folk, blues, and jazz. Triple Play delivers an epic sojourn through American music unlike any other band today.
A Grammy-nominated composer and musician Chris Brubeck has been called “one of the finest jazz trombonists around today” by Downbeat Magazine and “one of the most capable electric bassists” by the Los Angeles Times. He began touring and recording with his legendary father when he was young and has gone onto international acclaim as a performer, composer, and band leader. He has worked with a diverse cross section of artists including opera stars Frederica von Stade and Dawn Upshaw, pop stars Willie Nelson and B. B. King, and jazz greats Gerry Mulligan, Stephane Grappelli, and Bobby McFerrin.
Joining Brubeck in Triple Play are two exceptional musicians. Peter Madcat Ruth is a Grammy Award-winning virtuoso harmonica player who is equally at home playing jazz, blues, folk, country and just plain rock and roll. He studied with the legendary Chicago bluesman Big Walter Horton and has developed a reputation as one of the best and most versatile harmonica players in the world. He performs all over the world with Triple Play and with guitarist/singer Shari Kane in the duo Madcat & Kane.
And Singer/guitarist Joel Brown is Senior Artist-in-Residence at Skidmore College who maintains an active and eclectic performance schedule. In addition to being a regular member of Triple Play he is a much in-demand soloist and chamber musician. He has appeared with a variety of groups including the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the Singapore Chinese Orchestra, and the Boston Pops. He has appeared at Carnegie Hall, performed on NBC’s Today Show, and has been featured on NPR.
Chris Brubeck explains that Dave was always just dad to him. “I remember a couple of experiences when I was very young that got me thinking differently about my dad. One night after a concert with the famous quartet, we went to a classic New Jersey diner where they had a jukebox. I remember sitting in the booth and noticing ‘Take Five’ on the playlist and being amazed. The other time it hit me that my dad was famous was when the Beatles came to America. When I heard them say in an interview that they listened to Dave Brubeck, I knew that dad was important.”
Chris Brubeck’s Triple Play has one foot in the jazz world and another in the blues world with a repertoire includes many famous Dave Brubeck tunes such as “Take Five,” “Blue Rondo a la Turk,” “Unsquare Dance,” “It’s A Raggy Waltz,” and the beautiful “Thank You.”

How Pep Guardiola has changed game in past decade
Ten years ago, when Pep Guardiola took over at Barcelona, the Spanish side were already dominant in possession. They had the ball for 68 per cent of their games on average. But within two seasons that figure had risen to 76 per cent. And a side who passed on average 600 times a game were now passing 800 times a game.
The change had a profound effect on Barcelona, who won three league titles and two Champions Leagues along with a host of other trophies under Guardiola. But it also had a profound effect on European football.
Dr Henry Stott, Dr Mark Latham and Dr Dinesh Vatvani have been looking at the way that European football has changed in the era of Pep. Because it

SHENANGO VALLEY —
Members of Our Lady of the Valley Council 4003 of the Knights of Columbus had an enviable decision to make recently: How to spend almost $100,000 fairly.
The money was invested and was part of the former Farrell group’s Christopher Home Corp. and contained proceeds of the sale of the land in Hermitage where the group once met, its president Tony DeMartinis said.
He led a campaign to begin the complex process of dissolving the home corporation and establishing an endowment with the proceeds of it, about $100,000.
The money will be invested with the Catholic Foundation of the Erie Diocese and its annual earnings will be split among the Kennedy Catholic High School Scholarship Fund, the Prince of Peace Center, the clergy health and welfare fund, and the retirement fund for religious of the diocese.
“We’re not really a social organization,” DeMartinis said.
So, it made sense to endow the funds, he said.
“Charity is number one,” he said.
The group has nearly 100 members now and they overwhelmingly voted to approve the measure, he said.
“So we’re dissolved,” he said of the home corporation, which was formed initially to assist the widows of deceased members through insurance policies.
“I wanted to remember the guys who started this,” DeMartinis, who joined the group in 1957 two years after it formed.
It honors men like the Rev. John Chizmar, who was the group’s first chaplain, and Joseph J. David, who was the first grand knight.
The other names of founding members are familiar to anyone who knows Farrell: Andrew Billack, Aldrich Buzga, Guy Zupo, Albert Suchy, Edward Kocott, Joseph Namey, Edward Turosky, Vincent J. Glgliardi, Richard Morocco, Edward Remp, Dr. John T. Namey, Matthew A. Stefanak and Paul Chintella, among others.
“Times have changed,” DeMartinis said. “I’m 75. There’s a lot of history that’s going to be leaving us.”

Xerox Corp. (Norwalk, CT, U.S.), provider of copiers and other document management devices and services, said second quarter 2011 revenue was $5.6 billion, up 2% but down 1% in constant currency. Revenue from technology, representing the sale of document systems, supplies, technical service, and financing of products, was flat or down 4% in constant currency. This was primarily due to supply constraints resulting from the natural disaster in Japan.
Xerox said the costs and revenue from the supply chain-related challenges were expected in the second quarter and that the situation is improving. “We’re seeing steady progress and making all the necessary investments to respond to customers’ needs,” said Ursula Burns, Xerox chairman and CEO. “As a result, we are on track to reduce backlog while meeting new demand in the third quarter, and we remain confident we’ll return to normal operations in the fourth quarter.”

Yorktown line will be key after skill exodus
YORKTOWN – On Yorktown High School's football practice field, you'll find a slight difference of perspective when it comes to the subject of roster transition.
Take the outlook of Ball State-bound offensive lineman Anthony Todd.
"It's hard to replace a guy like Riley (Neal) and Riley (Miller) and Carson Moore, Jacob Preston, Clay Dungan, dudes that I've been playing with since I was a freshman," Todd said. "It's definitely a rebuilding year, but I think we're going to be all right."
That's certainly a fair way to look at it. The group of seniors was noteworthy and prolific to say the least.
But ask Tigers coach Mike Wilhelm if it's one of the biggest exoduses of talent he's seen in a decade at the school, and he takes a different outlook.
"It's actually one of the years where we haven't lost a lot," Wilhelm said. "Believe it or not. Did we lose our production, yardage-wise on offense? Definitely.
"But we have everybody back on the offensive line. So those guys were the guys responsible for the 5,000 yards of offense last year."
So how big of losses are we talking about?
The Tigers lose, in no particular order, their top passer, top two rushers, top seven pass catchers (who had 233 of 235 receptions) and five of the top six tacklers (nine of the top 11). Then you throw in the players that got 20 of the team's 22 sacks and all 16 of the team's interceptions.
Among those 15 outgoing seniors were the program's all-time leading passer in Neal (who also ran for more than 1,300 yards) and receiver in Miller. Then there were key two-way starters in Moore, Preston, Jacob Stephenson, Dungan (as a wide receiver/kicker) and a pair of beastly edge rushers. All told, the defense lost nine starters and the offense six.
That group was key in squads that won 21 games in two seasons, but as with any team, it just means someone else has to step in.
There should be a solid backfield behind the line led by the Division I-bound Todd. Peyton Stites is a sturdy fullback, and both Dawson Allen and Jordan Spangler have shown flashes as runners. Quarterback Brogan Miller worked with the starting unit on the first day of camp, and former quarterback Brandt Applegate was among his receiving crew.
"I think we have a lot of hungry young kids that want to play, too," Stites said. "They've been like waiting for their spot. Now that it's open, I think they're going to be hungry, they're going to want to play and they're going to perform."

We’ve been anticipating this one for a few months now and I am happy to report that the first full season of “Marvel’s Daredevil” or simply just “Daredevil” will be available to watch in its entirety as of this moment today but you will need a subscription to Netflix to do so. This is the first in a series of four heroic shows that are in the immediate plan with the others being “Power Man”, “Iron Fist” and “Jessica Jones”. These four shows will eventually be tied even closer together in an additional Netflix series focusing on “The Defenders”. Let’s have a look at the few posters so far and the premise and cast for “Daredevil”. I’ll be back after that.
Marvel’s Daredevil, or simply Daredevil, is an upcoming American web television series developed for Netflix by Drew Goddard, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films of the franchise, and is the first in a series of shows that will lead up to a Defenders crossover miniseries. The series is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios, DeKnight Prods. and Goddard Textiles, with Steven S. DeKnight serving as showrunner, and Goddard acting as consultant.

These many different design styles were developed by people such as interior design pictures manufacturers and also different types of interior decoration, while some designs are likewise set up based on different historic ages as well as the area in which you currently live.
The very first thing we think of when developing interior design pictures for an area in our residence is specifically what specific interior design pictures we must utilize in order to get one of the most amount of individual convenience. As an example, if a person appreciates interior design pictures that concentrates on timeless lines, it’s impossible to convince them to go with something that’s more modern-day in nature. This is since that certain interior design pictures may not be one that they are as well comfortable with.
The very best method to select the best kind of interior design pictures for you is to think of exactly what you prefer extra, especially if you are creating just on your own.

WASHINGTON – Airports in Syracuse and other Upstate New York cities have not been hit by a significant shortage of federal security screeners that affected operations at some larger airports this week, U.S. Rep. John Katko said Friday.
Katko, R-Camillus, said Syracuse Hancock International Airport had only “a very small uptick” in absences among Transportation Security Administration screeners who have been operating airport checkpoints without pay during the partial government shutdown.
TSA screeners have been calling in sick at higher than normal rates at some airports as the shutdown entered its 21st day Friday, one day short of the longest federal shutdown in U.S. history.
Katko said he was assured by Syracuse airport officials and national TSA Administrator David Pekoske in conversations Thursday and Friday that airport operations were unaffected by TSA employee absences seen elsewhere in the nation.
Pekoske met privately with Katko in his Washington office on Thursday to discuss the shutdown’s impact on the TSA. Katko has chaired a House Homeland Security subcommittee that oversees TSA.
At Miami International Airport on Friday, officials said they plan to close one of the airport’s terminals over the weekend because of a shortage of TSA screeners, who have been calling in sick at double the normal rate.
The TSA workers, who are considered essential personnel, have been forced to stay on the job without pay during the shutdown. Their first paycheck of the year would have been due Friday.
Katko said Pekoske is concerned that the longer the shutdown continues, TSA’s screeners may be forced to quit their federal jobs because they need a paycheck. Most of the screeners are paid hourly.
“He’s worried about the fact they might start seeing cracks in the system if this continues much longer,” Katko said. “These guys live paycheck to paycheck, so we can’t let it linger on.”
TSA officials told Katko that, for now, it’s business as usual at most airports. On Thursday, TSA screened 1.96 million passengers. The wait time at screening checkpoints was less than 30 minutes for 99.9 percent of the passengers, and less than 15 minutes for 95.5 percent of the passengers.

One of the largest forts in India, especially in the southern part of India, Pretty well maintained and open to the public, the fort offers an unique glimpse into architecture of the yore. Guides are available here from Rs. 200 on wards and it is recommended to take a guide to understand the architecture and the ancient way of life in detail, like point out places where an ancient cannon ball struck the ramparts during a siege and hence the repair work has different colored stone than the original one. The rates for guides are very bargain-able. While this fort is very immaculately maintained, it has all but 1 food stall or clean restrooms. Only a single government operated stall is there which does seem to sell at inflated prices. Overall a good 2 to 3 hour visit. Mornings or early evenings are recommended since there is a lot of walking on not so even surfaces and as the day progresses, it gets hotter

It's a pretty huge place to explore. You need to walk a lot to see the places within the fort. Definitely worth visiting for adventure seekers, since there is also a peak point within the fort, where you would literally have to do rock climbing and stuff, to reach the highest point, and it's definitely worth exploring. There are two ways to reach the peak, both are an amazing experience. The pics that I have uploaded is the one we took after reaching that point

Built on an area of 1500 acres, this massive fort is certainly worth a watch. Do book a guide as they'll show you the important places quickly. There's also a refreshment center on top that sells water and other stuff

One of the oldest rock fort of the country with huge historical significance. It's well preserved. It's good for one day trek on the rocky hill.

CYPRESS HILLS, Brooklyn (PIX11) — It was a gruesome find, and now, after a woman’s dismembered body was found in suitcases in her apartment in Brooklyn, police investigators are searching for at least one person of interest in connection with the crime.
It’s also reminding local residents of a similar murder and dismembering nearby, earlier this year. That case is unrelated, but the proximity and similarity have left some neighbors disturbed.
In the most recent case, a woman in her early 20s was found dismembered in her home at 315 Linwood Street at Atlantic Avenue.
On Thursday, NYPD crime scene technicians and detectives were in and out of the building, and they removed many bags of evidence related to the grisly scene that was discovered the day before.
Around 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the building’s super, who’d received complaints of a foul odor coming from an apartment, let police in to check on a woman in her early 20s. They entered and found parts of her body cut up and left in two suitcases, according to police.
A neighbor who lives on the same floor, a few doors down, who did not want to give his name, said that the woman and her boyfriend had long had a contentious relationship.
“You’d hear arguing, banging, loud stuff,” he said about arguments in the woman’s apartment, that many neighbors couldn’t avoid.
“If you tried to break it up,” he continued, “you’re just putting yourself in a problem you can’t solve.”
He said that there was often evidence that the fights between the woman and her boyfriend got very physical, most of the time.
“Somebody gets hit very hard in the mouth, right?” he said. “The blood trail will lead from the door to the elevator. They stood in the elevator obviously to the first floor, came back out to the front of the building. The blood trail stops there, and you’d see them both arguing in front of the building.”
The boyfriend is being sought in the case, according to neighbors and police sources.
Some other residents of the building said that the disturbing scene was just too close to home.
“I want to move,” said one resident, a mother who was returning home after picking up her child from school. “I’m annoyed, and I’m shocked,” she said. She declined to give her name.
Another resident, who gave only his first name, Noël, was also returning home from school with his children on Thursday afternoon.
“I never thought I’d see something like that coming out of this building,” he said.
Some other people from the neighborhood said that while the case is disturbing, they’re not surprised.
Samantha Wren said that she’d lived her whole life in the neighborhood until moving away recently to Texas. She’d returned to help her mother settle the affairs of her recently deceased father.
“Now, this is the second time in this neighborhood that something like this has happened,” Wren said. “Not that they’re linked, it’s just that it’s unfortunate.”
She was referring to a case six months ago, about 15 blocks away, where the torso of a missing woman, Susan Leyden, was found in a bag in a shopping cart. Days later, other remains were found. Alleged serial killer Harvey Marcelin ended up being charged with the murder, based on evidence. He has pled not guilty in the case, and his trial is pending.
In the latest, unrelated case, investigators started gathering evidence on Wednesday afternoon and continued through early in the evening on Thursday, in an effort to make a detailed case in this crime.
Police sources and neighbors indicated that investigators are seeking the victim’s boyfriend and possibly an accomplice, as well.

Mubashir Assad Pandit, the elder brother of Awantipora youth, Rizwan Ahmad Pandit, who was killed in Police custody, said his brother was framed on “fabricated charges” and “killed in cold blood”.
Talking to Rising Kashmir, he said his brother was picked up by government forces from his house during a nocturnal raid last Sunday.
“We don’t know whether they were from NIA or were personnel of the Special Operations Group of Jammu Kashmir Police from Srinagar but they were assisted by Police from the local police station,” Mubashir said. “My brother was arrested in full knowledge of the local police station.”
He said it would have been impossible for them to pick up his brother without the knowledge of local Police.
Recalling the events of the fateful night he said, it was around 11:30 pm when the government forces barged into their house and asked them to switch off all lights.
“We were all bundled into a single room,” he said. “The forces personnel seized five mobile phones and two laptops from our house after conducting searches.”
He said they took Rizwan along with them and when the family resisted, they were assured that he would be let off after questioning.
The family was awaiting his release but was shocked when authorities Tuesday morning suspended class work at Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST) and others schools in Awantipora.
“We got nervous because we feared there could be something fishy and our fears came true after it flashed the on internet that a youth from Awantipora had been killed in police custody,” he said. “They were aware that it was only their son from Awantipora who was in Police custody.”
Soon people from Awantipora and adjoining areas converged at Rizwan’s house.
Rizwan’s father, Asadullah Pandit said his son was earlier arrested on August 26 in 2018.
“Police claimed that he was detained from IUST but the fact is that he was detained from his house,” he said adding all allegations leveled against him for which he was booked under PSA proved false after the court quashed his PSA.
“Rizwan was kept in illegal detention for around 15 days despite his PSA being quashed by the court,” Mubashir said. “He was released from detention on January 9, 2019.”
The family members said he was living a normal life since then and was never asked by Police to report to the police station except once when he had to sign some documents.
“My son was killed in cold blood only to get promotion,” Asadullah said. “We don’t believe in any probe as probes ordered in last 20 years yielded nothing.”
The family members said they would knock the door of the court and fight to punish those responsible for the killing of their son.
Rizwan had done his M.Sc. Chemistry from Central University Dehradun.
He had also done B.Ed. from Guru Nanak College of Education.
Presently, Rizwan was working as Principal at a local school.
He also used to deliver guest lectures to students of Polytechnic College IUST Awantipora before he was slapped with PSA.
Rizwan was the second eldest son of their parents and is survived by three siblings besides his parents.
He was remembered by his friends as a change leader who desired to see his hometown progressed.

NRL bad boy reaches massive settlement
BRONCOS star Matt Lodge has reached a settlement with the victims of his New York rampage.
The star forward has also reportedly agreed to a new contract with the Broncos after getting the all clear from the club and the NRL.
It comes three months after NRL boss Todd Greenberg demanded Lodge pay his victims fair compensation.
Lodge told a press conference on Wednesday his legal team reached a settlement in New York on June 11 - agreeing on an undisclosed sum to be paid by Lodge personally to his victims.
He said he has had to organise a loan with a bank to make the payment in full immediately and will work to pay the loan off in regular instalments.
Lodge refused to announce the amount he has agreed to pay, declaring it is a confidential matter.
The 23-year-old had to remain in Brisbane while his legal team, his father and Broncos chief executive Paul White all travelled to New York to negotiate a settlement on his behalf.
Lodge reiterated he is sorry for his actions in New York and read out a statement to try and explain his remorse.
"I'm thankful for those impacted by what I did in 2015 that a resolution has been reached," he said.
"I want to re-iterate how sorry I am for what happened and how it has impacted them.
"I cannot disclose any details of the agreement as it is confidential, however, I can say that I will pay the amount by myself."
Lodge's new contract with the Broncos to take him beyond the 2018 season is yet to be confirmed by the club, however, it is reportedly just a matter of time.
Lodge's return to the game with his assault case yet to reach a conclusion was one of the biggest talking points at the start of the 2018 season.
According to reports in March, Lodge's victims had demanded a settlement of more than $1.6 million.
Ruth Fowler and Joseph Cartright said they had never received an apology from Lodge and he had never attempted to begin paying back what was owed to them - claims disputed by the Broncos forward.
Lodge had claimed he had on three occasions attempted to negotiate a payment scheme.
NRL chief executive Greenberg said Lodge, who is on a minimum NRL wage of $100,000, had been told his approval to continue playing the game was dependent on him repaying his victims.
Lodge's former partner Charlene Saliba in March also detailed a history of domestic violence suffered at the hands of the NSW Origin aspirant and challenged his claim he had never hit a woman.

5:30 pm ET
Health care and immigration were very important for voting voters because they voted in mid-term elections, according to a large-scale study of the American electorate conducted by The Associated Press.
Most voters took into account the voice of President Donald Trump.
Similarly, the majority of voters say that the country is heading in the wrong direction. Still, around two-thirds say that the economy is good.
Controlling the Senate and the House of Representatives, Trump encouraged voters to see the first nationwide election of their presidency as a referendum on his leadership.
4:05 pm ET
A man is accused of threatening to shoot workers in the Pennsylvania western election site after they told him he was not registered for the vote.
Christopher T. Queen, 48, from Claysville, was accused on Tuesday of terrorist threats and unstructured behavior.
Assistant to the Washington County election department, Melanie Ostrander, she says that Quinn arrived at the South Franciscan Volunteer Fire Brigade in the town of South Franklin around 9am. He says he became irritated when he was told he was not registered for voting.
Ostrander says that this man supposedly "got upset, told the probes that he would get a gun and come back and shoot them."
Court documents do not mention the lawyer for the queen, and the phone number mentioned in his name rang unanswered before disconnecting Tuesday.
Some voters in one of the most diverse districts in Georgia report that they had to wait more than three hours to vote at a voting location in Snellville, east of Atlanta.
Ontaria Woods said she arrived at Annistown Primary School at 7am to vote. Over three hours later she was still waiting, in a line of 75 to 100 people. She said she was a witness that about two dozen people remained in frustration without voting because of long waiting.
Joe Sorenson, a spokesman for Gwinnett County, Georgia, who oversees the election, said he can not confirm waiting times, but says the four circuits had problems with "express polls" that make up cards that are electronic voting cards.
Reports from the districts of Fulton, Clayton and Gwinnett say that polling stations are definitely unprepared for high voter turnout. Broken voting machines are also reported because delays continue to affect the thousands of voters in Georgia.
10:25 a.m. ET
Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said he hopes the US election results will ease domestic tensions in the United States and allow Washington to focus on global issues.
Speaking to reporters in Madrid on Tuesday, Lavrov regretted the fact that the Russian-American ties had become "hostages of internal political quarrels in America."
Lavrov said he hoped that the elections would help stabilize domestic policy in the US "so that Washington could concentrate on positive steps in the international arena."
Lavrov also reiterated Moscow's position that he was not involved in the US elections.
He said: "All the accusations that we will interfere in today's election have turned out to be empty statements."
9:25 to ET noon
Severe weather in several southern states may affect election turnout on election day.
The storm line moved through the deep meridian and early Tuesday morning, destroying trees and power lines from Louisiana to South Carolina. There were no serious injuries, but about 11,000 residents were without electricity.
A separate storm in central Tennessee killed one person, injured two others, and left thousands without power.
The National Weather Service warns of the possibility of strong winds, strong storms and possible tornadoes on Tuesday near Baltimore, Washington, Denmark and the Mid-Atlantic region.
The dry weather was predicted in the west and south west, but significant snow falls were expected in the northern Rocky Mountains.
Previous story below
The turbulent election season, which tested President Donald Trump's crowned political style against the resistance of the Democrats, came to an end when the Americans voted in the first national elections in Trump's time.
Because voters are going to vote on Tuesday, nothing is certain.
Concerned Republicans privately expressed confidence in the narrow Senate majority, but were afraid that the house was running away. Trump, the head of the GOP, warned that the significant victories of the Democrats would have devastating consequences.
"If radical democrats take power, they will take a ruined ball to our economy and our future," Trump said in Cleveland, using the same heated rhetoric that defined much of his presidency. He added: "The Democrats Agenda is a socialist nightmare."
Democrats whose importance in the Trump era depended on winning at least one Congress House focused on health care because they predicted victories that broke GOP monopoly in Washington and state governments.
"They were two years old to find out what it's like to have an unused person in the White House," said Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who heads the Association of Democratic Governors. "This is the revival of the Democratic Party."
Democrats may derail Trump's legislative program for the next two years if they gain control over the House or the Senate. Perhaps more importantly, they will demand a subpoena to investigate Trump's personal and professional shortcomings.
Some Democrats have already promised to force the release of their tax returns. Others have committed to impeachment, although removal from office is unlikely as long as the GOP controls the Senate and even maintains a healthy minority.
The fate of Democrats depends on a delicate coalition of the few voters – especially young and minorities – who traditionally avoid parliamentary elections.
If there ever was an election of younger voters who would break the tradition, that's it. Young voters promised to vote in record numbers when they carried out mass protests after the February shooting in Parkland, Florida, in a high school where 17 students and employees died.
Democrats are drawing strength from women and generally educated voters who have decidedly opposed Trump since his election. Polls suggest that the Republican coalition is becoming older, whiter, more masculine and less often has higher education.
Democrats have record-breaking diversity in voting.
Three countries could choose their first governors from Africa and America, and several other LGBT candidates and Muslims. A record number of women is also a candidate for the Senate, the House of Representatives, presidents and state offices.
"The vast majority of women voting is angry, frustrated and really doing it, seeing where the Republican Party is taking them, especially when it comes to health and civility," said Stephanie Schriock, who runs EMILY & # 39; s List, a group that helps elect Democratic women. "You'll see the biggest gulf between the sexes we've ever seen."
Political reorientation, determined by race, sex and education, can re-shape US policy for the entire generation. Demographic shifts also reflect the final argument of each party.
As the economy continues to grow, Trump spent the last days of the campaign on a career against carring Latin American asylum seekers on the border with the United States. He sent over 5,000 soldiers to the region, suggesting that the soldiers would use lethal force against immigrants who throw stones before they later retire.
Republicans privately encouraged the president to withdraw, unsuccessfully.
Meanwhile, the Democrats have beaten their drum in health care.
"Healthcare is in the vote," said former President Barack Obama for democratic volunteers in Virginia. "Healthcare for millions of people. You vote, you can save your life."
Tuesday's results will be colored by dramatically different landscapes in the fight for the House and the Senate.
Most of the best House races take place in the suburbs of America, where more educated and affluent voters in both parties have been trashing in Trump's presidency, despite the strength of the national economy. Democrats struck a wave of republican pensions and a huge advantage in raising funds.
They must get two dozen seats to get the majority.
Democrats face a much more difficult challenge in the Senate, where they are almost exclusively in defense in rural areas, where Trump remains popular. Democratic Senate leaders are waiting for re-election, for example in North Dakota, West Virginia and Montana – Trump countries have an average of 30 percentage points on average two years ago.
Democrats must get two seats to get the majority of the Senate.
Taking into account Trump's great victory in 2016, few were sure of their predictions.
"I feel less comfortable by making a forecast today than in two decades," said Republican analyst Frank Luntz.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The globally popular IRC international rating system issues certificates for a huge variety of boat designs from grand prix racers to cruising boats and its development always looks at how the rating calculation across this diverse fleet might be improved. A major rule change for 2024 seeks to ensure fair competition among IRC rated boats with varying sail configurations as well as addressing issues of sustainability and costs to owners.
At the annual International IRC Congress at the end of 2022 the IRC Technical Committee proposed rating the number of headsails from 2024, this was agreed in principle and during 2023 the Technical Committee has been working on the details and implementation of a new rule. IRC does not currently rate the number of headsails carried on board, but simply considers the largest headsail area and longest headsail luff length. However, carrying multiple headsails can give distinct advantages with flexibility in sail wardrobe for varying conditions and the ability to increase headsail area by multiple headsails set flying, particularly in a reaching configuration. In recognition of these advantages, from 2024 the number of headsails carried aboard will be counted and rated, subject to IRC Congress approval.
In recognition of safety requirements, Offshore Special Regulation compliant heavy weather jibs and storm jibs will not be included in the rated headsail count. Owners may still apply for an additional allowance for using a single furling headsail and this rule will be simplified.
The IRC Technical Committee has now published the proposed rule changes for 2024 and Notice 2023-01 which gives more information and includes an indication of the rating effects for various number of headsails on a range of different size and type yachts.
Notice 2023-01 Updated 20 October 2023

Hillary Clinton articulates and explains in a very open and sincere way what happened in a historical electoral battle with the present United States President, Donald Trump, including the mistakes she made, in a book to publish in September.
Publishers Simon and Schuster revealed Thursday that the book would be titled “What Happened” and would be the former secretary of state’s “most personal memoir yet.”
Her publishers said the book would reveal what Clinton thought and felt during the bruising 2016 campaign that saw her make history as the first US woman to win the presidential nomination from a major party.
It will describe what it was like to run against Trump, “the mistakes she made, how she has coped with a shocking and devastating loss, and how she found the strength to pick herself back up.
Clinton is the author of five previous books, most recently Hard Choices published in 2014, An Invitation to the White House and It Takes a Village.

Lucy is hilariously awful at catching treats in her mouth.
Lioness and a kitten
She puts her head on you and sighs until you pet her.
For my Cake Day, I’d like to share a picture of my friend Zeus, the blind Screech Owl.
Trying to spy on my cat through the crack in my door
Winter is coming
My dog never leaves my feet while I’m at work, this is what I work with
This tea tastes… furry
She found her owner’s pencil sharpener.
I got a defective cat… I want a refund
Marnie got a haircut
While walking in Downtown LA today, these two little stray kitties came to greet us. I might have to keep them
Met this guy on a hike. He’s a bit camera shy.
Jax makes piles of my stuff while I’m at work
I connect with this dog on a spiritual level
Every walk she picks a stick to take home. She got ambitiously cute today.
He knows he isn’t allowed on the couch, so he steals the cushions and lays on the floor.
Two day old Shetland Pony foal and mum – was literally the tiniest horse I’ve ever seen
A cat and a squirrel play
If all mankind could enjoy the utter satisfaction of being a cat in front of a heater, there would be no more wars.
How my kitten tells me he wants a bath
The newest little man on the farm!
This little girl’s first time in snow, I think she likes it.
This guy was discounted at the shelter because he had been there so long. I know, I don’t get it either.
Just because…my animals
Happened to have my phone ready as our little friend landed on my son
