Chatting with Jordan today, from @capturesbyclark, he told us, he is organizing a clean up at Browns Camp OHV for June 20th. Last year he told us he got about 30 rigs, so maybe we can all participate and get much more done! Let’s all help him get more rigs to do more! Overlanders, Rock Crawlers, all vehicles welcome!
I know Browns Camps is in poor shape lately, a lot of people are trying to do what they can to keep it clean, but it takes a big group to do this at a big scale. Jordan has prizes for participants and he will be meeting people at the Staging Area at 9 a.m., Saturday, June 20th.
During our chat, Jordan told us: “This is my second clean up I’ve organized out there. I’ve got some prizes to give away to people. And one company is brewing a custom beer and can that I’m going to go hide out in the woods on the trails so people can find them while looking for trash”
If you need more information you can reach out to Jordan on Instagram.
It sounds like an awesome event to support and participate, hope to see you all there!


Young people in Northern Ireland hold the responsibility for ensuring the Good Friday Agreement endures into the future, Sir Tony Blair and Bertie Ahern have said.
The former British and Irish premiers addressed a group of students at St Malachy’s College in north Belfast, as part of events marking the 25th anniversary of the peace deal.
Pupils from a range of schools across the north of the city attended the event and asked questions of the two leaders who helped to bring about the agreement in 1998, which largely ended the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
“It is hard to know where you should go until you understand where you have been,” he said.
“I remember visiting Belfast and you would see barbed wire around the city, soldiers patrolling…
“This was a lockdown place with a lot of conflict.
“Today, there are massive problems to deal with but there are things you don’t have to deal with which are very important which people did have to deal with back then.
“We came from a very dark place.”
The former prime minister went on: “When I came to office, and Bertie came to office in 1997, the ceasefire had broken down. In the first few months of my premiership there were people being killed on the street here, terrorist attacks.
“It was still very ugly.
“But we had the opportunity to put in place things which were going to last.
“And then we spent another nine years putting the rest of it together.
“In the end it will only really work when people disregard what background you came from, what religion you are, and they think we are all part of the same society.”
He added: “That is why it really is down to you guys.
“But it is important to remember we have come a long way from where we were, because if we don’t remember that, and you don’t understand where you have been, it is harder to chart where you should go.”
Mr Ahern said the big challenge of the Good Friday Agreement is ensuring in lasts into the future.
“The day we signed it and the day we completed our work 25 years ago really was the start of the process and both of us spent years working on it and people have been doing it ever since,” he said.
“The challenge is to build on it and the challenge is for all of you to take that on, to build a peaceful, prosperous, dynamic Northern Ireland, and to keep on building a better Northern Ireland.”
The former taoiseach added: “There are problems everywhere in the world, there are problems in every society, and Northern Ireland has a few unique ones because of the history of the Troubles, but I think the big thing is every day, every week, every month, every year, to keep on building on the Good Friday Agreement.
“To try to get a shared society to deal with the differences, and to try and build a better future.”
St Malachy’s College principal Paul McBride opened the event, introducing Sir Tony and Mr Ahern as “two of the key decision-makers” in creating the agreement.
Emphasising the importance of education, he said: “We are coming together to skill our young learners so that we can best meet the needs of our current and future workforce.”
The two former leaders met St Malachy’s head boy Diarmuid Hanna and discussed his plans for the future after he leaves school.
At the end they took time to shake hands with many of the young people who attended the event.

Legendary American author Cormac McCarthy died this morning of a stroke at 81 years old—at least, that's what I thought when I hit the Retweet button on a Tweet from a legit-seeming account for McCarthy's publisher, Alfred A. Knopf. "Holy shit, is this true," I wrote in an addendum to my now-deleted Retweet, oblivious to the fact that in the internet age, if you have to ask if something's a hoax, it probably is.
Obviously, there's lessons to take away here regarding the hazards of speed and accuracy in news reporting in the digital age—lessons that, let's be real, none of us will probably ever truly internalize as best practices. Life's too short, the news cycle's too fast, and in this industry, being behind is increasingly seen as a much greater crime than being wrong.
Shortly after USA Today's avalanche of corrective Tweets, the offending fake-Knopf account in question not only 'fessed up to the ruse, but unveiled the man behind it, too: "This account is hoax created by Italian journalist Tommasso Debenedetti. McCarthy is alive and well." This was not his first hoax of the week perpetrated from this account, which just two days earlier had existed as a fake Twitter account for another legendary author: Don DeLillo.
A 2013 Tumblr post from literary editor Sarah Weinman points out that not only was this far from Tomasso Debenedetti's first hoax involving legendary writers—it's not even the first time he's pretended to be Don DeLillo. According to Weinman, Debenedetti's also previously created fake Twitter accounts for Thomas Pynchon (imagine!), Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Alice Munro; in 2010, The New Yorker's Judith Thurman reported that he had fabricated an entire interview with Philip Roth, along with other famous figures.
Debenedetti has been trolling the news media for six-years-plus, and in a 2014 interview with Business Insider, he admitted he had no interest in slowing his troll-roll. "News agencies such as AP, Reuters, and big newspapers are able to verify news," he said. "But little newspapers, blogs, and radio stations are not able to verify, and so regularly accept rumours and fake news. The problem is the situation of social media, and generally of the web. I'm sure I'll continue."
Whether Debenedetti is maliciously exploiting the public's constant and growing thirst for up-to-the-minute information or ingeniously exposing flaws in social media's oft-touted news-gathering abilities is for you to decide. We should all probably be a little less trigger happy with the retweets, though.

Washington is having another whirl with repealing and replacing Obamacare.
Lost in much news coverage of concessions to the Freedom Caucus and amassing the magic 216 House votes for passage is this: This legislation is as devastating to women's health care as the previous repeal version.
The new House effort adopted Thursday in Washington mostly along party lines would eliminate the "essential health benefits" covered by the Affordable Care Act, including maternity and newborn care. The bill would pull funding for poor women to go to Planned Parenthood for birth control and lifesaving cancer screenings. It would restrict private insurance coverage of abortion.
"This latest attempt at a health care plan lacks an important component for women - health care," said Robin Chappelle Golston, president and chief executive of Planned Parenthood Empire State Acts, which represents Planned Parenthood in New York. "They say there is no war on women, but this sure looks like one."
No kidding. Before Congress could agree to an omnibus spending bill this week to keep the government running, Democrats pushed to get rid of a GOP rider that, according to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, would have undermined a woman's right to reproductive health.
The continued government-sponsored enthusiasm for pregnancy has begun to look like a chapter out of "The Handmaid's Tale." The 1985 Margaret Atwood novel, recently made into a Hulu series, is set in an imaginary totalitarian future in which fertile women are required to bear children to repopulate the nation.
The bill now moves to the Senate, but Thursday's vote in Washington may light a fire under the New York State Legislature to pass measures that shore up basic health care for this state's families. It's worth emphasizing this truth: If women don't have control over their own reproductive biology, they will no longer be free.
"It's been a difficult time," Golston said of the Trump era. However, "it's a positive time in terms of people who've been activated who were not active before."
That includes Long Islanders, who have assembled at more than 65 events and demonstrations since the November election to fight for protecting reproductive rights and access to reproductive health care including contraception coverage. Planned Parenthood of Nassau County has nearly doubled its email list to 15,000. Suffolk County figures weren't immediately available.
In New York, some state lawmakers are trying to erect a bulwark against Washington action, but the efforts are in limbo. Two bills that passed the Assembly await action in the State Senate. One is the Reproductive Health Act, which would strengthen New York law to allow abortion after 24 weeks if the fetus is no longer living or the mother's health or life is at risk. That's consistent with Roe v. Wade, which New York law predates.
The odds of the Senate passing the Reproductive Health Act are dismal. But a second bill that would protect contraception coverage, the Comprehensive Contraception Coverage Act, may have a shot. Golston said Senate Democrats and the Independent Democratic Conference support it, and that Republican Sen. Elaine Phillips of Flower Hill has been "helpful." Her office confirmed she would vote for the contraception act. Originally proposed by state Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman, the bill might be blocked by the State Senate majority coalition from coming to the floor for a vote.
The coalition should think carefully before crushing a bill that would be a backstop if the Trump administration delivers on its promise to repeal Obamacare and starve Planned Parenthood of federal funds.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The use of ozone in dentistry is catching on as the benefits of ozone are realized by more people. More and more dental offices across the USA are implementing ozone. See below for great article on another new ozone dental office.
Dr. Joseph Goodman Introduces Ozone Dentistry at His Beverly Hills Practice
Dr. Joseph Goodman is pleased to announce that he is now offering ozone dentistry at his Beverly Hills dental practice. European dentists have been offering ozone dentistry treatment for years, but it has only recently been introduced in the United States. Dr. Goodman is one of only a few dentists in the country to offer cutting-edge dental treatment with ozone, which is touted for its antibacterial properties and accelerated healing abilities.
Benefits of Using Ozone for Dental Treatment
Ozone is a powerful oxidant that kills bacteria, viruses and fungi. In small concentrations it is not harmful to the body; in fact, certain cells in the body’s immune system actually produce ozone in small quantities to help fight off disease.
Viruses, bacteria and fungi have no antioxidant enzymes in their cell membrane, so when infiltrated by ozone, the cell membrane ruptures and the cell dies. Studies have shown that ozone can help improve wound healing, immune system response and oxygen delivery to depleted tissues.
Ozone is used in dental treatment to treat the underlying cause of the problem, not just the symptoms. It is primarily used as a sterilization tool to ensure that the area to be treated is as clean and pathogen-free as possible. Ozone is also great for promoting healthy gum tissue. And, it helps accelerate surgical healing and reduce or eliminate post-treatment sensitivity.
How Is Ozone Used in Dental Treatment?
Ozonated water can be used to:
- Rinse out and disinfect the mouth prior to treatment
- Irrigate infected periodontal pockets (pockets within the gums)
- Irrigate infected root canals and remove biofilm from the canals
Ozone gas can be used to:
- Sterilize periodontal pockets where no other disinfectant can reach
- Clean and prepare the treatment area before placing sealants, cavity fillings and crowns
- Help in the recalcification of areas with cavities
Custom ozone trays can also be used to completely saturate an area with decay or suspicious tissue or lesions.

MOSCOW, July 11 - RAPSI. The Moscow Commercial Court recovered on Wednesday $2.91 million in unjust enrichment from the city government in the Inteco construction company's lawsuit.
The court partially satisfied the lawsuit, as the company initially sought 161.113 million rubles ($4.91 million). The Moscow Department for Economic Policy and Development was a co-defendant. Initially, courts in two instances satisfied Inteco's claims, but the appeals court remanded the dispute for reconsideration to the Moscow Commercial Court.
During a tender in September 2004, Inteco was granted the right to build housing on two plots. The company planned to build a micro-district on a territory with an area of 1 million square meters. However, it was forced to terminate the contract in 2009, as Moscow did not fulfill its obligations to eliminate third-party rights to the area, Inteco said.
Earlier, the court involved Moskapstroy and TUKS-2 as third parties.
Inteco is a multi-profile company and one of Russia's top development firms.
In autumn 2011, businessman Mikhail Shiskhanov and Sberbank Investments acquired Inteco from Yelena Baturina, the wife of former Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov.
Shishkhanov owned 95 percent of the shares in Inteco and its subsidiaries. Sberbank Investments acquired five percent. Shishkhanov holds a 97.079 percent share in Binbank's charter capital. He is also the president of the top-30 Russian bank. According to Forbes, he is one of the country's 200 richest businessmen. Sberbank Investitsii is a 100-percent Sberbank subsidiary. It was established in 2010 to manage investment assets.

|Interview: Renee Sebastian by Paul Wehage|
Clicking around IndieMusicPeople.com is always kind of an adventure; you never quite know what you’re going to come up with and more often than not, you come up with something so good that makes you wonder why some big name producer with a big label hasn’t snapped it up already.
Finding Renee Sebastian’s music was like that: you simply can’t believe that it’s not pouring out of radio speakers all over the World. The woman has the voice, the delivery and a natural feel for R and B and Jazz influences combined with original music and lyrics which show both craft and thought. She’s got it all musically....and she’s a beautiful woman on top of all of that. I decided that I wanted to know more and caught up with her during a pause in the recording sessions for her debut album “Reneessance”. Finding out about her life and musical roots was a fascinating experience:
PW: Hello Renee and thank you for taking time out your busy schedule to answer my questions. I’d like to know about who this person Renee Sebastian is. Let’s start with your childhood. You were born and raised in the Philippines. How did growing up in that very "performance" oriented country shape your future as a singer? Do you use your "roots" when you're going through the creative process?
RS: Growing up in Manila certainly helped shape my love for music. I mean, it certainly helps when you grow up in a culture that considers music as an integral part of everyday life. Radio pop love songs are the "thing" there and perhaps is the reason why I have a good understanding of pop song structure and melodies. Although, I constantly craved for something else unique which I found in jazz and R&B.
RS: There are also an abundance of talented vocalists in Manila who can "perform" Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey songs, etc. This is where I quickly learned that the art of singing is a balance between vocal technique and individual style. I've accepted I'm not Whitney, not Mariah, and I am quite simply Renee Sebastian. This is why I love mentioning in my songs "I surrender" because this is exactly what I'm doing, I'm giving you all of me.
RS: Stage showmanship is something I learned in grammar and high school. I was a trained dancer and was used to putting together school productions and benefits for large crowds. Even then, I had basic dance techniques in my arsenal but I still listened to the music and created my own movement as a response. This is still very true with how I create my music today.
RS: I always write music in the moment. A thought always comes in a whisper and I let it take its own course. I don't go out of my way to make it "ethnic" or slap an East-West fusion formula. That ain't me. I pay attention to trends, for sure, but only so that I can go against it. I hope to do my people proud by painting a picture of my heritage through my actions and the words of my music. Last year, I did go home to clear my mind and get back in touch with who I really am. From that experience, the song "Exotic" was born which contains references to the beautiful sights from my last visit to the Island of Boracay.
RS: Nothing I have done or currently taking on is "easy". I do find it effortless to create R&B jazz harmonies. Believe it or not, although I did take classical piano when I was young, I do not know enough about the "mathematics" of jazz chords. In fact, other musicians are afraid to teach me too much theory for fear that I might lose the sincerity of my music progressions. Producing my own music challenged me even further and brought out my love for fusing jazz, soul, and R&B. I rely heavily on my ear. I always hear these first and then I search for what I just heard.
RS: I am thankful that my parents exposed me to a wide variety of music from Paul Anka, The Eagles, James Taylor, Michael McDonald, Earl Klugh, Roberta Flack to name a few. And, thank God I heard Anita Baker's music on wax which I think sealed the deal when it comes to my affinity for R&B singing, big music, and real live instruments! Later on, going to college in Jersey City, exposed me to contemporary artists like Mary J Blige, Toni Braxton, Erykah Badu, and my absolute favorite Me'shell ndegeocello. I lean on these artists for inspiration but ultimately I step away and get back to what my soul is screaming to let out.
RS: I do worry about acceptance into the R&B culture. I've had both situations when people meet me first and I tell them I sing R&B and they automatically assume I can't "sing" like a sista or when people hear me first and are surprise to find that I am not black. For now I focus on listening to my own instincts when it comes to writing and producing music. Just keeping it true to my character. When the album drops, I leave it up to the listeners to judge what my music is and whether it can be categorized as R&B. And, so long as they love it, I have no problems whichever category they place it under.
RS: I am a very affectionate person. I am also not shy about sensuality. I am a woman after all. And I can get nasty if I want to but I choose to do that in my private time. Some people think showing a lot of skin is sexy. Other's think raunchy lyrics titillate. I think both of those are hot. But I like keeping my men on their toes. I think stretching the imagination is far more difficult to achieve and that's why most people opt out of this approach. To leave someone longing is an art but in all honesty, I'm just being myself. It's not an image that I work hard on or try to manufacture. At the end of the day, I am a strong woman and I've experienced a lot of pain but don't forget I'm still a woman with needs and I'm not afraid to say it. I can't really help it if I'm playful. I'm sure there are a lot of women who feel exactly the way I do!
RS: It is difficult especially in the music industry to find a balance between respect and sensuality. I experienced this on my first single release "Deliciously Dangerous" which teetered between the two. I felt I wasn't getting the respect from some who immediately assumed that my talents ended with my looks. I just fired back with "Simple Woman" which was my first effort to produce and write on my own. The success of "Simple Woman" in independent artist sites like IAC and the fact that it is well received is vindication enough for me.
RS: Respecting a sensual woman isn't impossible. It boils down to how one demands it. It's how far you are willing to go with sensuality and at what cost. I want you to want me but I don't want you to forget that I don't take crap from nobody. That's the balance.
"There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it.
RS: I sometimes fall victim to this. I do judge what I am capable of and I tell myself I can't do it. I probably do this because of my fear of the unknown. Am I really this good? How can I do this when I do not know how to? Will they like it? These were the very questions that ran through my head when I was thinking of producing my own song for the very first time. Sometimes having faith in yourself is key because it prevents your head from judging what you are capable of. If I had blocked this expression, I would've never discovered my potential and you wouldn't have discovered another dimension of me.
RS: A good friend of mine once reminded me that it isn't my job to figure out what my sound is. My job is to keep on creating music and never stop. The rest will fall into place. This is much in line with your quote. I believe this but being the business person that I am, it is sometimes difficult not to measure my creations. How can you not compare in a business that is pure competition? So, when I'm creating I absolutely listen to my instincts and in tune with what inspires me artistically. And because I am an independent artist, when I toggle as label executive, I remind myself that I believe in my work but it's rough out there and only the smart ones survive.
RS: There’s my website http://www.reneesebastian.com which has information about my album as well as all of my performance dates and venues. You can also sign up for my mailing list by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.org.
RS: Thank you.

RE: Buying Power
Though i also recommend starting with Lotus, this is the order in which i acquired power:
Ruby > Recall > Sapphire > Time Walk > Lotus > Emerald > Jet > tbc..... still missing Pearl and Twister.
If you got a good offer (like i did) you are good to buy other pieces of power before Lotus
[KLD] Metallurgic Summonings
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, create an X/X colorless Construct artifact creature token, where X is that spell's converted mana cost.
3UU, Exile Metallurgic Summonings: Return all instant and sorcery cards from your graveyard to your hand. Activate this ability only if you control six or more artifacts.
For me this card is vintage playable. In a big blue deck it should be really fast on the board and will give you an army of Constructs just for playing other spells. Draw two cards for zero Mana and get a 5/5? Sure
And if you don't need those pesky creatures anymore you can just get you're time walks and recalls back.
RE: MTGO May 2016 Power 9 Challenge
Congrats to Collecter and the rest of the Top 8.
As ChubbyRain (great work btw) mentioned i went 5-2 with Jeskai Mentor where both of my losses coming from white eldrazi and most of those games (1-4) weren't even close. Seems like the Eldrazi menace has finally arrived in Vintage.
RE: Vintage 101: With Great Power...
@Islandswamp Thanks for the input. Looking forward i think adding 1-2 Mentors is the way to go. Not only diversifying threats but also just adding them is important. As i'm often controlling the opponent but have no threats to end the game.

If I iron them out, can I smooth back over time?
Today’s Photohunt theme is “Wrinkled.”
And that’s how time feels to me, suddenly. Like it’s been wrinkled. Or folded like an accordion.
Like it is filled with the skips in an old, worn record. The vinyl spins over and over and the details of the songs are faded; sometimes, even large sections of lyric are missing. I’m left with sudden, blurted words and jolting rhythms that hop from one point to the next…
Photo by Athena Carey, lifeprintsphotography.com
Will the folds between the wrinkles be deeper the older I get?
Will the skips in the record become so broad that the melody is lost almost entirely?
Have to find a way to hold on to the details… I like this song too much.

Those who loved Steve Irwin know Bindi Irwin, and the cute and adorable little Bindi is now a confirmed contestant of “Dancing With the Stars” Season 21. Find out more details of the show below.
The 17 years old wildlife conservationist will be part of the show that’s going to premiere on September 14 this year.
Bindi Irwin mentioned in the ABC reality series’ Facebook page, “I am unbelievably thrilled and truly blessed to be in the City of Angels to be part of this season of Dancing with the Stars.”
As mentioned by Yahoo News, Irwin said, “This is completely different to anything I have ever done in my life.” She considers herself to be honoured to be part of the prestigious show.
Irwin is going to stay in Los Angeles during the show and would look forward to support from her family, mom, Terri, and younger brother, Robert.
Irwin mentioned that she is quite nervous about dancing and judges scare her more than crocodiles. In her words, “They are so knowledgeable. They’re supreme athletes,” she added, “I’m just this girl from Australia who’s used to crocs so give me a 15-foot crocodile any day.”
The teenager Irwin has a dance troop of her own, “The Jungle Girls.” She says she will try hard to do her best in “Dancing with the Stars” season 21.
She went on further by saying that strength and courage is very important. Her hopes is that she can inspire others to take on life and take opportunities as they come their way. “Just jump, take that leap, even if it terrifies you,” Irwin said.
Now, about animals, she said she hopes her dance partner will have the same passion for animals as she has. She mentioned that she intends on bringing some to the dance rehearsals.
Will crocs be part of the act? Let’s find out soon.

Monday, October 29, 2007
The IRS announced today (IR-2007-178) that it is extending tax return filing and payment deadlines for victims of the Southern California wildfires:
Taxpayers in the Presidential Disaster Area –– consisting of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties –– will have until Jan. 31, 2008, to file returns, pay taxes and perform other time-sensitive acts. The extended deadline applies to items due on or after Oct. 21, 2007, when the fires began, and on or before Jan. 31, 2008. This includes the federal withholding tax return, Form 941, normally due Oct. 31, and the estimated tax payment for the fourth quarter, normally due Jan. 15. In addition, the IRS is waiving the failure to deposit penalty for employment and excise deposits due on or after Oct. 21, 2007, and on or before Nov. 5, 2007, as long as the deposits are made by Nov. 5, 2007. ...
Affected taxpayers in a presidentially declared disaster area also have the option of claiming disaster-related casualty losses on their federal income tax return for either this year or last year. For details on figuring a casualty loss deduction, see IRS Publication 547, “Casualties, Disasters and Thefts.” Affected taxpayers claiming the disaster loss on last year’s return should put the Disaster Designation “California Wildfires” at the top of the form so that the IRS can expedite the processing of the refund.

CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/08/14 -- CriticalControl Solutions Corp. (TSX:CCZ) today reported its financial results for the three months ended June, 2014.
"We are on track to bring to market in the second half of 2014 the initiatives we have invested materially in over the past two years," said Alykhan Mamdani, President and CEO of CriticalControl. "The financing we completed in the second quarter provides us with additional flexibility for marketing and launching these initiatives as well as continued expansion in the US market."
Quarter ended June 30, 2014 highlights
-- Total revenue was $12.7 million in Q2 2014 compared to $11.9 million in Q2 2013, representing an increase of $0.8 or 6.6%. Year-to-date revenue increased by $1.8 million or 7.7%. -- Revenue from Canadian Energy Services was $3.3 million in Q2 2014 compared to $3.2 million in Q2 2013, representing an increase of $0.1 or 2.7%. Year-to-date revenue increased by $0.2 million or 3.2%. -- Revenue from the US Energy Services business increased by $0.8 million or 18.4%, from $4.4 million in Q2 2013 to $5.2 million in Q2 2014. Year- to-date revenue increased by $1.4 million or 16.7%. -- Revenue from the Corporation's Service Bureau Operations decreased by $0.1 million or 2.1%, from $4.3 million in Q2 2013 to $4.2 million in Q2 2014. Year-to-date revenue increased by $0.2 million or 2.7%.
Gross margin percentage
-- Gross margin percentage for the Corporation was 35.3% in Q2 2014 compared to 38.8% in Q2 2013. Year-to-date gross margin decreased from 37.7% to 33.5%. -- Canadian Energy Services gross margin percentage decreased from 57.9% in Q2 2013 to 48.4% in Q2 2014. Year-to-date gross margin decreased from 57.1% to 45.8%. The decrease is primarily attributable to negative margins associated with the rapid expansion and training related to ProMonitor in order to implement a large strategic ProMonitor project. -- US Energy Services gross margin percentage decreased slightly from 29.2% in Q2 2013 to 28.7% in Q2 2014. Year-to-date gross margin decreased from 29.0% to 27.5%. -- Service Bureau Operations gross margin percentage decreased from 34.4% in Q2 2013 to 33.0% in Q2 2014. Year-to-date gross margin decreased from 31.6% to 30.5%.
Selling and administrative expenses
-- Quarterly selling and administrative expenses for the Corporation were flat at $3.9 million in Q2 2014 and Q2 2013. Year-to-date selling and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million. The year-to-date increase can be attributed to the impact of the weaker Canadian dollar in relation to the US dollar. Other changes in selling and administrative expenses were primarily offsetting.
-- Research and development expense decreased by $39 thousand in Q2 2014 compared to Q2 2013, and $103 thousand year-to-date, but when the impact of amounts capitalized and SR&ED tax credits is considered, expenditures increased by $39 thousand for the quarter and $83 thousand year-to-date. -- Finance costs in Q2 2014 increased by $268 thousand compared to Q2 2013 and $147 thousand year-to-date. The increases were attributable to an unfavorable swing in unrealized foreign exchange, offset somewhat by lower interest associated with decreased debt levels and lower bad debt expense in relation to 2013. -- Other operating expenses in Q2 2014 increased by $97 thousand compared to Q2 2013 and decreased $38 thousand year-to-date. A favourable adjustment to the Edmonton onerous lease provision in Q1 2014 was offset by a non-recurring expense in Q1 2014 and increased termination costs in Q2 2014.
Earnings and net earnings
-- The results for Q2 2014 and year-to-date were impacted by certain non- recurring or non-cash items, including unfavorable swings in unrealized foreign exchange, a loss on a large strategic ProMonitor project, a reduced onerous lease provision and other smaller or offsetting amounts. When the impact of these items is excluded from the results, the 2014 adjusted earnings (loss) before income tax is comparable to 2013. -- Loss before income tax for Q2 2014 was $114 thousand compared to earnings of $370 thousand for Q2 2013. The year-to-date loss in 2014 was $352 thousand compared to earnings of $150 thousand in 2013. -- Net loss for Q2 2014 was $110 thousand compared to net earnings of $270 thousand for Q2 2013. The year-to-date net loss in 2014 was $280 thousand compared to net earnings of $90 thousand in 2013.
Cash flow and working capital
-- Working capital increased by $2.0 million from $2.3 million at December 31, 2013 to $4.3 million at June 30, 2014. The main driver of this was private placement net proceeds of $2.7 million. -- Year-to-date net cash from operating activities decreased by $1.7 million from $1.0 million in 2013 to negative $0.7 million in 2014. The impact of income tax refunds in 2013 and income tax payments in 2014 accounted for $0.7 million of the year-to-date decrease, investment in working capital for growth accounted for $0.7 million, and the remaining decrease is primarily attributable to expenses incurred in relation to the loss on a significant ProMonitor project.
Outlook and forward looking statements
CriticalControl has invested significant resources in the past two years on initiatives within its Canadian and US Energy business. Management believes that the Corporation is on track with these initiatives, and they are anticipated to bear fruit in the next five calendar quarters. Modest revenue growth in the first half of the year prior to the benefits of these initiatives being realized provides management optimism for the remainder of the year.
Specifically, the Corporation continued development of two material software initiatives related to its Canadian Energy Services business, ProMonitor and ProFDC. ProMonitor currently has two separate modules consisting of a schematics management application and a pipeline corrosion risk application offered through a common map-based interface. CriticalControl launched the schematics module commercially in 2013, with certain small to medium sized producers adopting the platform. One of Canada's largest producers adopted the schematics module, as announced by the Corporation during Q1 2014. In order to implement the module, data driven schematics need to be produced from public and proprietary databases to form the first draft schematic, which is then refined and stored as data in the system. Given the size of the producer, the number of assets in the field and the complexity of their gathering systems that integrate assets from the well to the plant, the scope of the implementation is material and significantly more complex than the Corporation's other clients.
The scope of the implementation required CriticalControl to triple the size of its team and accelerate training. The complexity of the project, combined with the fact that the schematics module is new and currently lacks the automated processes required for the scope of the producer's field assets, resulted in an inefficient implementation. Development of the ProMonitor tool will continue and is expected to improve productivity later in 2014. However, time constraints have necessitated the use of manual efforts to complete the initial phases of the implementation, resulting in a negative margin for ProMonitor. The year-to-date negative margin is attributable to the loss recognized on the large producer implementation project estimated at $576, which includes a provision of $200 for future losses. Management expects these further losses on the contract until the software can be adapted to materially offset current manual processes. Progress has been made in this regard and productivity has increased since Q1 2014, and further benefits are expected to be realized from the software development initiatives by the end of 2014. Inability to complete necessary software changes in a timely manner would result in an investment greater than the provision taken.
The pipeline corrosion risk module was adopted by a prominent Canadian producer in Q1 2014, prior to its commercial launch in Q2 2014. Both modules of ProMonitor require significant development in the next six months, and business processes need to be built to handle the scope of growth. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the market acceptance of ProMonitor, as indicated by these material engagements, reduces a critical risk factor in the commercialization of the product.
The Corporation's other large development initiative, ProFDC, a field data capture system, continues to be in development, with initial modules expected to become commercial later in 2014. The ability to successfully complete development, the ability to attract and retain implementation staff, the ability to build viable business processes and broader market acceptance of the products are risk factors that could materially, adversely affect the Corporation's profitability in 2014 and 2015.
The Corporation is in the process of finalizing its core Canadian applications, ProChart, ProTrend and NetFlow, for the US market. Management views leveraging its strong presence in the Appalachians to penetrate the US market with its core products as a strong vehicle for growth in the next year. This process is near completion, and the Corporation has been focused on building its US management and sales teams to leverage its software in the US market. In order to benefit from these expenditures, the Corporation needs to be successful in implementing its core applications in the US. Although management is optimistic of the viability of its plan, market acceptance of these applications cannot be certain and could negatively affect profitability in 2014.
The Corporation has implemented its ProTrend software in its fluid analysis labs in the US and is delivering fluid analysis results to its clients through this version of ProTrend, which has increased ProTrend's potential exposure to the US market. The US version of ProTrend to enable an oil and gas producer to validate and manage its fluid analysis from all third parties is expected to become available by Q4 2014. This expectation is based on development and testing time, which cannot be predicted with complete certainty. A delay in completion of development will result in the product being delayed to potential clients in the US.
The Corporation has launched its combined electronic fluid measurement meter and NetFlow software solution on a single price rental model in Canada in July 2014 and is expecting to launch a similar service in the US later in Q3 2014. Management is optimistic that this combined software and hardware solution will resonate with the needs of oil and gas producers in this uncertain market. Although early response to the solution has been positive, it is too early in the sales process to predict the impact of this solution to the Corporation's future growth.
In addition to the investment made on these strategic initiatives, the Corporation increased inventory during Q2 2014 in relation to the contracted fabrication of measurement related equipment. Management expects to complete, deliver and invoice these assemblies in Q3 2014. A delay in completion and shipping of these assemblies would delay the related revenue recognition.
The Corporation was expecting increased revenue in 2014 from its Service Bureau Operations related to a contract from a large Canadian bank. The expansion of the project has been delayed by the customer due to internal issues, and expansion into Quebec has been delayed to Q4 2014 from the original Q2 2014 expectation. Growth in the scope of this project is at the discretion of the customer, and further delays are outside of management's control.
In a world of escalating globalization, with an increasingly transient workforce, enterprises have difficulty maintaining their knowledge and are forced to focus on their key market advantages to remain competitive. CriticalControl provides these enterprises with secure and cost-effective solutions for the completion of document and information intensive business processes through an integrated offering of software, outsourced services and optimized business processes.

New Census estimates show growth in the New York City region over the last decade and a continuing exodus from some upstate areas.
The population estimates come as Census 2010 begins and give a sense of what that official count could show for New York.
The Census reports that 19.5 million people lived in New York on July 1, 2009, up by more that a half-million since Census 2000. New York City accounted for most of that increase, though Long Island and suburban Hudson Valley counties also grew.
The story was different for many upstate areas, which have been suffering population losses for decades. The Census reports losses in rural counties like Hamilton County, which lost 8.4% percent of its population.
The estimates were released Tuesday.

However, behind the public face of design, architectural life in Canada during the 1880s and 1890s was in turmoil. The Canadian public had lost confidence in its designers, students were forced to study abroad to secure a first-class education, professional rivalry was unscrupulous, architectural competitions a scandal. American architects and their architecture were the fashion. These things changed, but not before the world of the Canadian architect had been turned on its head, replaced by one which resembled the world of contemporary architects, with professional organisations, regulated standards, formalised education centred in the universities, and the belief that Canadian architecture should reflect local climates, culture, and geography. Kelly Crossman provides the first analysis of this period. Beginning with a review of the architectural milieu in Toronto and Montreal in the 1880s, he traces the rise of professionalism as an idea and architectural nationalism as a goal. His analysis is more a history of architectural ideas than a survey of forms. It places the architecture of these years in an historial and ideological context, demonstrating that it developed with its own logic in response to national and international factors. During the two decades after 1885, Canadian architects grappled with problems whose long-term implications they could not have foreseen: the role of the architect in industrialised society, the need to accommodate and integrate applied science, and the need to express their own and their country's personality in architectural form. By the beginning of this century they had begun to find their own voice. The story of this process will be of interest not just to students and scholars, but to anyone interested in the development of Canada and its architecture.

text: Thats just what I was thinking, Izzy looks like she has some AmStaff in her and is very gorgeous. I doubt Bronx we'lll get that big (120lbs) as Whopper was half Bull Mastiff and they get to be 140lbs. The bad thing is larger dogs live a shorter lifespan. Chevy is about 7-8 years old and now he can't really pull worth crap now where I was watching some 8-9yrs old 30-40lbs dogs pull just as they did when they were young. They'll probably live longer lives while Chevy may very well die in 2-3yrs since he's going "down hill" now. Another thing is bringing in larger breeds is whats been adding and giving these dogs hip dysplasia and inverted eye lids. Bandogs no matter if they are recognized bandogs are registered as pure APBT usually have more health problems. Larger dogs of any breed have shorter life spans. I don't understand owning something that isn't a Pit and doesn't look like a Pit if you want a Pit? Her grandsire doesn't have that much mastiff in him but is still bigger then the average APBT, they just didn't keep breeding mastiff and mastiff qualities in. But he is a nice looking dog, he doesn't look like a mastiff, doesn't have large dewlaps or anything. I'll post more of his offspring, they range in size from 45-80lbs. The one I posted is double bred off him (@ 58lbs). A few of the outcrossed ones are actually BIGGER, and the dam was about 50lbs. I'll upload n post the pics later. They keep growing past 1 year but he will probably fall in about that weight I'd guess. Bigger dogs grow longer also.

Back when we had no choice, bespoke software or big data science projects would be planned for years before releasing a version 1.0. Data would be painstakingly cleansed, systems would go through long quality cycles, and budgets would inevitably be extended. Even if all went well, the best that could be hoped for was everything going to plan.
Unfortunately, the plan would be obsolete by the launch date.
Creating static systems or data science deliverables are only as good as the insights were at the beginning. No business stays that still these days. Thankfully, that’s where a measurable strategy, software that learns, and fast delivery cycles can save the day.

There are cute ways to respond to this prompt, and then there are ways that will never make you want to get into the water again. This response is a good one, but it might not convince her to like your prompt. Your golden retriever boyfriend will always do his best to make you happy.
You can’t achieve the same consistency of appearance and temperament with a mixed breed Golden. But there are sometimes health benefits to a more diverse genetic make-up. Not all mixed breed dogs are healthy though, so check out our reviews for an honest appraisal. It is worth mentioning that although Golden Retrievers are relatively easy to train, they are very big and strong dogs. Unless you want to spend the next few years picking up knocked over guests. Or being dragged around at the end of a leash on walks.
Fail to provide sufficient exercise, and your retriever will engage in undesirable behaviors such as excessive barking, digging and jumping. Both Labradors and Golden Retrievers are gun dogs that were used to assist hunters who utilized guns to hunt a variety of birds. Retrievers were mostly utilized to retrieve dead or dying waterfowl and upland game birds after being shot by the hunter. However, these dogs also need plenty of grooming because of their thick coats. Swimming is also something that this pooch will enjoy, especially for the Golden Retriever and Poodle mix, as both its parents were bred for water activities. However, these dogs will definitely make up for it with affection and companionship.
Cute Answers To ‘Dating Me Is Like’ Hinge Prompt
If you notice an increase in scratching, chewing, or licking, consult your veterinarian, because it could signal the development of a skin issue. Golden Retrievers are prone to eating things they shouldn’t, especially when they are puppies. They may try to eat socks, shoes, furniture, and other items, or get into the trash. Golden Retrievers generally have a great temperament—they are often friendly with children, other pets, and even strangers. Another supplement to consider for a Golden Retriever is an omega-3 fatty acid supplement .
Labrador Retrievers: Wonderful Family Pets and Companions
Since they love being a part of the family’s daily activities, it’s not good to leave this friendly pooch for extended periods because they tend to develop separation anxiety. All Golden Retrievers are friendly, loyal, intelligent, and get along well with children. One trait that will make the American variant stand out is their energy level.
Just like Golden Retrievers, these kinds of boyfriends make perfect companions. Most often, the term “golden retriever boyfriend” is used as a compliment — when someone makes a TikTok about it, the most common response from viewers in the comments is jealousy. Overall, it’s used to describe a boyfriend who is affectionate, happy to see them and excited by simple things. I’d add to your physical description of golden retrievers that the dogs smell pretty doggy (esp compared to short-coated or non-shedding types of dogs). Some people really dislike doggy odor, and if they do, they shouldn’t get a golden retriever.
Although the Mini Golden Retriever can be hypoallergenic, you can expect heavy grooming with this hybrid as all its parent breeds have high-maintenance coats. According to the AKC, both Goldens and Cocker Spaniels are sporting dogs, a group known for being well-rounded pets. The Miniature Golden Retriever definitely inherited the friendly, even-tempered personality of its parents. The two dogs have a lot in common in terms of temperament and their grooming and exercise needs.
Not fully committing to open up to the person across from you is a waste of both yours and her time. Another point that must be noted is that each prompt is bait. Every prompt response is its https://datingjet.org/ own unique bait that attracts a certain audience. The prior prompt is really only trying to attract women that like good dudes.

A full grown Golden Retriever can weigh up to 75 pounds and measure about 24.5 inches tall. The nobility wanted to have a dog that was not only an excellent hunting companion but also enjoyed running and swimming. These dogs got their name from being able to “retrieve” shot birds without damaging them.
The texture of the fur can range from very wavy to almost flat, and shaded from lightest cream to dark gold. Working bred Golden Retrievers tend to be of the darker variety, verging on reddish shades at their darkest. Show bred puppies are often a very pale cream or a lighter golden shade. The American Golden Retriever is usually lanky and has a feathered fur coat that is truly golden in color. Due to their pendulous ears, ceruminous (wax-producing) glands, and love for swimming, Golden Retrievers are prone to ear infections.
Many people don’t realize that these are active dogs that need substantial exercise every day. They’re also very intelligent, so some mental stimulation is very good for them and will keep them sharp and happy. The Golden Retriever, including the red variety, is one of the most popular dog breeds in America, and for good reason. These dogs are among the friendliest and most welcoming breeds available. They not only get along with strangers and other animals, but they seem to fall in love instantly with just about anyone they meet. Labradors are the poster child for a condition known as laryngeal paralysis.
Upon looking the term up, apparently it is a song, there is also a few urban dictionary definitions of golden retriever boy. Golden Retrievers are a common breed employed to be therapy dogs. Their kind-hearted, loving, empathetic personalities are known for being able to calm people of all ages.

In physical geography, tundra is an area where the tree growth is hindered by low temperatures and short growing seasons. The term "tundra" comes from Kildin Sami tūndâr "uplands, tundra, treeless mountain tract". There are two types of tundra: Arctic tundra (which also occurs in Antarctica), and alpine tundra. In tundra, the vegetation is composed of dwarf shrubs, sedges and grasses, mosses, and lichens. Scattered trees grow in some tundra. The ecotone (or ecological boundary region) between the tundra and the forest is known as the tree line or timberline.
Arctic tundra occurs in the far Northern Hemisphere, north of the taiga belt. The word "tundra" usually refers only to the areas where the subsoil is permafrost, or permanently frozen soil. (It may also refer to the treeless plain in general, so that northern Sápmi would be included.) Permafrost tundra includes vast areas of northern Russia and Canada. The polar tundra is home to several peoples who are mostly nomadic reindeer herders, such as the Nganasan and Nenets in the permafrost area (and the Sami in Sápmi).
The Arctic tundra is a vast area of stark landscape, which is frozen for much of the year. The soil there is frozen from 25–90 cm (9.8–35.4 inches) down, and it is impossible for trees to grow. Instead, bare and sometimes rocky land can only support low growing plants such as moss, heath, and lichen. There are two main seasons, winter and summer, in the polar tundra areas. During the winter it is very cold and dark, with the average temperature around , sometimes dipping as low as . However, extreme cold temperatures on the tundra do not drop as low as those experienced in taiga areas further south (for example, Russia's and Canada's lowest temperatures were recorded in locations south of the treeline). During the summer, temperatures rise somewhat, and the top layer of the permafrost melts, leaving the ground very soggy. The tundra is covered in marshes, lakes, bogs and streams during the warm months. Generally daytime temperatures during the summer rise to about but can often drop to or even below freezing. Arctic tundras are sometimes the subject of habitat conservation programs. In Canada and Russia, many of these areas are protected through a national Biodiversity Action Plan.
The tundra is a very windy area, with winds often blowing upwards at 48–97 km/h (30–60 miles an hour). However, in terms of precipitation, it is desert-like, with only about 15–25 cm (6–10 inches) falling per year (the summer is typically the season of maximum precipitation). During the summer, the permafrost thaws just enough to let plants grow and reproduce, but because the ground below this is frozen, the water cannot sink any lower, and so the water forms the lakes and marshes found during the summer months. Although precipitation is light, evaporation is also relatively minimal.
The biodiversity of the tundras is low: 1,700 species of vascular plants and only 48 land mammals can be found, although thousands of insects and birds migrate there each year for the marshes. There are also a few fish species such as the flat fish. There are few species with large populations. Notable animals in the Arctic tundra include caribou (reindeer), musk ox, arctic hare, arctic fox, snowy owl, lemmings, and polar bears (only the extreme north).
Due to the harsh climate of the Arctic tundra, regions of this kind have seen little human activity, even though they are sometimes rich in natural resources such as oil and uranium. In recent times this has begun to change in Alaska, Russia, and some other parts of the world.
A severe threat to the tundras, specifically to the permafrost, is global warming. The melting of the permafrost in a given area on human time scales (decades or centuries) could radically change which species can survive there.
Another concern is that about one third of the world's soil-bound carbon is in taiga and tundra areas. When the permafrost melts, it releases carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. The effect has been observed in Alaska. In the 1970s the tundra was a carbon sink, but today, it is a carbon source.
The flora and fauna of Antarctica and the Antarctic Islands (south of 60° south latitude) are protected by the Antarctic Treaty.
Tundra also occurs on Tierra del Fuego and southern Argentina. Notable plant and lichen species of this tundra include Neuropogon aurantiaco, Azorella lycopodioides, Marsippospermum reichei, Nardophyllum bryoides, and Bolax gummifera.
Alpine tundra is an ecozone that does not contain trees because it has high altitude. Alpine tundra occurs at high enough altitude at any latitude on Earth. Alpine tundra also lacks trees, but the lower part does not have permafrost, and alpine soils are generally better drained than permafrost soils. Alpine tundra transitions to subalpine forests below the tree line; stunted forests occurring at the forest-tundra ecotone are known as Krummholz. Alpine tundra occurs in an alpine zone.
Because alpine tundra is located in various widely-separated regions of the Earth, there is no animal species common to all areas of alpine tundra. Some animals of alpine tundra environments include the Kea parrot, marmot, Mountain goats, chinchilla, and pika.
Large sections of the Tibetan Plateau include alpine tundra.
Despite the potential diversity of climates in the ET category involving precipitation, extreme temperatures, and relative wet and dry seasons, this category is rarely subdivided. Rainfall and snowfall are generally slight due to the limited capacity of the chilly atmosphere to hold water vapor, but as a rule potential evapotranspiration is extremely low, allowing soggy terrain of swamps and bogs even in places that get precipitation typical of deserts of lower and middle latitudes. Scarcity or lushness (by polar standards) of native vegetation of tundra regions depends more upon the severity of the temperatures than upon the scarcity or copiousness of precipitation. The alpine tundra also lacks in precipitation compared to the Arctic tundra.

(AFNS) -- Reserve Airmen from the 920th Rescue Wing were awarded with the Air Force Association Unit Award Sept. 18, during the opening and awards ceremony at the annual Air, Space and Cyber Conference in National Harbor. The wing was recognized for its outstanding effort in rescuing two German citizens whose sailboat caught fire and sunk 500 miles off the East Coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, in July 2017. After being alerted to the incident, the wing immediately employed a rescue plan that utilized approximately 80 Airmen to execute a long-range over water rescue operation resulting in saving the lives of both men and transporting them to an Orlando, Florida, hospital for further care. The theme for this year's AFA conference is "Multi-Domain Operations: Leveraging the Full Spectrum," and takes place from Sept. 17-19. The professional development symposium is touted as the nation's premier event for defense and aerospace professionals from around the world, bringing together senior leaders and experts from government, industry and academia. It includes engaging speakers and panels focused on airpower, space and cyber developments to the technology exposition featuring the latest technology, equipment and solutions for tomorrow's problems. The 920th RQW is a combat-search-and-rescue unit at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida, comprised of 2,000 Air Force reservists spread out to three geographically separated units, one at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona; Portland Airport, Oregon and Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia. The wing’s motto is, "These things we do, that others may live."

Emotional surprise elopement in Venice
After years had passed since Texas couple Larry and Gil got engaged, Larry and the pair’s best friend, Katie, decided it was time to make this wedding happen.
While they were all on a trip to Venice, Italy together, Larry and Katie decided to surprise Gil with an elopement.
Gil thought he was on his way to a party when Larry turned around and asked if he still wanted to get married. Of course, Gil still did.
“The excitement and emotion were just incredible!” said photographer Selene Pozzer of ManiSol Wedding Photography and Videography.
A gondola ride led the group to the ceremony venue, a small town square anchored by a Venetian well draped in pink and yellow flowers. A guitarist and singer also awaited the couple.
During the ceremony, a group of boats nearby were celebrating a baptism. The wedding party was nervous the people in the boats might shout something discriminatory about a gay wedding. But instead, something magical happened.
Just after Larry and Gil shared their first kiss as husband and husband, the people in the boats began to sing the Italian song, “Ti Amo [I love you]” by Umberto Tozzi.
“Needless to say, we were all crying a lot!” Pozzer said.
The couple celebrated with stunning photos around the city and dinner at a beautiful restaurant.

Boston area transit privatization plan goes forward amid allegations of corruption/mismanagement
2 September 2017
The privatization of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) serving greater Boston is moving forward, amidst allegations of mismanagement and corruption on the part of state officials. This has included the hiring of a General Executive to head the system with no previous transportation experience and conflicts of interest in the hiring of contractors.
After record snowfalls in February 2015 caused the near-collapse of Boston’s public transportation system, the administration of Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker jumped at the opportunity to use the crisis as an excuse for the privatization of the system. The MBTA — including buses, subways, trolleys, and heavy commuter rail — had been a public agency for more than 50 years.
Baker created an unelected Fiscal and Management Control Board (FMCB), which has attacked workers’ benefits while privatizing cash handling, spare parts warehouses, customer service jobs, and now three of the system’s bus maintenance yards. In December 2016 the FMCB used the threat of privatization to force Boston Carmen’s Union Local 589, the largest MBTA union, into a deal (HYPERLINK “http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2016/12/22/mbta-d22.html”http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2016/12/22/mbta-d22.html ) which slashed raises in a contract that wasn’t set to expire for another two years.
A Human Resources Workforce & Strategy update, summarizing the first six months of this year and available on the FMCB’s web site, states that 746 workers have been “separated,” through being either fired or goaded into early retirement agreements. The average yearly salary of these workers is $76,000; the…

The Internet Falls in Love with Quasimodo the German Shepherd
There’s a cute meme out there I particularly like, that goes, “Some people might feel sorry for themselves in this situation. Puppy don’t care. Puppy got stuff to do.”
This philosophy is embodied in Quasimodo the German Shepherd, who was born with short spine syndrome, but that won’t stop him from being a typically friendly and adorable dog.
Quasimodo was found as a stray in Kentucky and sent to Secondhand Hounds, a nonprofit in Minnesota. His condition means that he’s missing several vertebrae from his back, which can’t be surgically repaired. But other than some minor health issues, he seems to be doing fine.
His unusual appearance quickly made him an internet favorite, with plenty of people interested in adopting him. However, Secondhand Hounds is keeping him in foster care for a while as they judge his temperament and health. They also hope that the online attention will raise awareness for more special needs pets and encourage families to consider adopting them as well.

An Intensive Outpatient Program for drug and alcohol addiction is one of the best ways to get sober if you’re struggling with a drug or alcohol addiction. The disease of addiction is baffling and powerful, and you may have wondered why you’ve never been able to stop on your own. Addiction is a mental illness, and it takes the help of an Intensive Outpatient Program for drug & alcohol addiction to get well. This type of program is an excellent way to ease into recovery as you’ll still have some freedoms so you can make a smooth transition back into regular life.
What separates an Intensive Outpatient Program for drug & alcohol addiction from a residential drug rehab center is that you don’t actually live at the facility. While you’re going through the IOP program, you’ll be living at a recovery residence with other people who are also looking to recover from their addiction to drugs or alcohol. This is an excellent way to build peer support while you’re also able to get involved with the local addiction recovery group.
Choosing the right rehab program from multiple levels of care causes people some confusion. This is a time when you need to focus first on your own treatment and recovery needs, not the easiest path. Going through an addiction assessment helps you understand what program is best for you. Then you can make an informed choice between Beaches Recovery’s multiple levels of care, including:
Consider the differences between levels of care, such as IOP in Jacksonville Florida vs. residential rehab. Of course, most people start treatment of any kind with detox at Tides Edge in Jacksonville, to clean the drugs, alcohol and other toxins from your system.
An intensive outpatient program provides the same programs and treatments as residential and PHP. But you maintain the connection to your personal life, work, schooling or other activities of “home.” IOP programs provide a step down from PHP, being less intensive and splitting time between treatment and home life, usually for several hours per day on select days each week.
Residential rehab, also called inpatient, involves living at the treatment facility 24 hours per day and seven days per week. You focus entirely on your recovery without distractions from the outside world.
PHP treatment involves attending rehab programs during the day to focus on your recovery. At night, you return home or to a sober living arrangement to maintain your personal responsibilities.
OP treatment is the least intensive of all treatment programs. In this treatment, you fully maintain your home, work, and school life. You meet with your rehab program and peers in recovery on a lighter schedule than with IOP in Jacksonville Florida.
Intensive outpatient programs work for many people with an addiction. Beaches Recovery will help you decide which program fits your requirements and design an individualized treatment plan. At Beaches Recovery, each level of care includes an array of therapies, services, and support. These include:
One of the key learning points of an IOP program is that addiction is a legitimate mental illness. You’re not a bad person. You’re just a sick person who now has the opportunity to get well, starting with an Intensive outpatient program.
If an Intensive Outpatient Program for drug and alcohol addiction sounds right for you or a loved one, call Beaches Recovery today at 866.605.0532. We can help.
