I was warned in early July that my job was being made redundant and offered suitable alternative employment, which started on 1 August. I am still in my 4 week trial period, and at the end of that period can take redundancy. The whole process was poorly managed and has resulted in a lot of bad blood between my employer and I.
In the meantime, I started applying for other roles and have just been offered a job which I'm very excited about.
It seems to me that, although morally a bit shakey, there's potentially an opportunity to take redundancy from my current employer and then accept the new job - is this legal? Any pitfalls?
Have you rejected the job as not a suitable alternative?

Naruto Porn Story: Taming Inuzukas
Posted on September 9, 2015 by sakura
This is a section of Eroninja Chapter 12 by the Lemon Sage on fanfiction.net
"Welcome to the Twelfth Annual Konoha Dog show. Please enjoy yourself," the woman attending the stand that sold the day passes said as she handed Naruto his.
"Thanks, I intend too." Walking past the gate, Naruto was surprised at just how big the event actually was. Although from his traveling through it the night before he supposed he shouldn't have been. He stopped as a man walking his show dog stopped at a tree and the animal raised its leg to leave its mark behind. He smiled since it would have to get up into the tree to get his.
After his run in with Tsume the previous day, he had drunk close to fifty bottles of water in his attempt to mark every tree inside the grounds with his scent. If the fact that Naruto was marking territory she no doubt considered hers, due to the Inuzuka sponsoring the dog show, didn't send her over the edge then he didn't know what would. As he walked through the event he noticed that a few male Inuzuka's were affected by the act as well as they barred their teeth ever so much when he moved close enough to them. Whether or not they were conscious of it though he couldn't say, but he was beginning to feel disappointment creep into him after his third time traveling the throughout the grounds since it appeared that he had gone through a lot of effort and water but his target was a no show.
Still he decided to have a good time regardless and put off searching for Tsume in order to actually take in some of the events. But eventually after watching some them which featured snooty people and their prim and proper pets decided to move along. As he moved throughout the event he began to wonder why the Inuzuka would bother to sponsor something like this, as having seen some of their nin-dogs he was quite sure they'd eat the ones here for breakfast.
But making his way towards the back of the show grounds he noticed that it became less crowded with stands featuring rich civilians and their show dogs, but more salt of the earth type people. He saw one massive dog that he was positive the only award it would receive was meanest looking dog on earth. He reached out a hand to pet it as he had some of the others much to the owners' objection, and almost lost a hand to it as it round on him. Jumping back he was chided by the civilian who the dog belonged to saying, "You're not in that weaksauce competition anymore boy. The animals here are meant to be warriors." Naruto cocked an eyebrow confused, but before he could ask the man to elaborate saw a woman that had often been in Tsume's company when he had exposed the woman to his enhanced pheromones so made a beeline for her.
Hana resisted squirming as she examined the animal in front of her, quite aware of how the shorts of her chunin clothes were clinging to her. Marking off on her clipboard some notes about it, she moved on quickly to the next in a hurry to get her task finished due to how wet she was getting. While embarrassed she relaxed somewhat since most of the female Inuzuka she had come across had been exhibiting the same general horniness. Only they had no idea what was behind it other than the smell that seemed to coat the entire campground. But Hana did, since although it held the distinct smell of urine it was filled with the same pheromones she had been exposed to over the past two months.
"Did he simply piss a little on each tree," Hana thought feeling hotter at the image since she felt he was marking his territory. She smiled a little though since she imagined when her mother arrived she'd flip out especially since Tsume had become convinced the boy was challenging her by eating at the many restaurants that existed in the Inuzuka's territory.
She closed her eyes and frowned slightly since she was sure her mother was probably right, especially after the stunt he had just pulled. Why, she couldn't say but if he was challenging her mother it meant he probably had no interest in her. She wasn't sure why that bothered her, but she had fantasized about the young man when her exposure to his sent had caused her to need some release.
Standing in front of the next stand she dropped her clipboard down to hide her groin and was about to give her snatch a discreet rub, due to the fact that it seemed Naruto's scent was getting stronger. Her eyes opened wide in shock as just before she gave into the temptation the blonde boy said from behind her, "Hey do you mind if I ask you a question?"
Turning towards him quickly, she wondered if he knew what she had been about to do. But guessed he didn't due to the simple grin he was giving her. "N-no I don't mind," Hana replied cursing the weak sounding hitch in her voice, already hearing her mother bitching about her lack of assertiveness in the back of her mind.
"Well that guy there said these dogs were meant to be warriors, I was hoping you could explain that to me," Naruto said jerking his thumb to the man that he had been talking too.
"Why didn't you ask him to explain it?"
"Well you're a lot cuter than him," Naruto said causing the woman to blush. "Besides I've kept seeing you at some of the restaurants I've been eating at as of late and thought it was time I introduce myself. I'm Naruto."
"I know," Hana said noticing the small frown that appeared on his face. She briefly wondered if she had offended him since he could take it that she knew him because of what he carried. Hoping to prevent him from making that leap of logic she added, "My brother mentioned you quite a bit," and under her breath finished with, "and my mom lately."
"Yeah, he was probably pretty pissed when I kicked his ass in the chunin exams."
"There was that true, but he also spoke very highly about how courageous you were during some of your joint missions."
"Really, are we talking about the same Kiba," Naruto said his tone making it known he was joking.
Hana laughed before turning towards the dog behind her and saying, "Well, to answer your question. These dogs are breed in hopes of being added to Inuzuka breeding program. That is the whole reason this event is sponsored by my clan."
Naruto scratched his cheek in thought saying, "I can't imagine any of those dogs at the front of the show joining it."
Hana nodded saying her voice holding a tinge of distaste, "This use to be a real underground event. But eventually some dog breeders of those show dogs got wind of it and figuring with the Inuzuka name attached to it would really legitimize what they do."
"You preferred things when they were smaller?"
Shaking her head Hana replied, "No that's not it. The people up there breed them just for show and inbreed to the point that it's detrimental to their animals' health. That's why the Inuzuka began this event in the first place to prevent such a thing from happening. We carefully map out all of the animals lineage to prevent such things and add new blood, so to speak, every year. Akamaru was a result of such practices which is why he looks so different from most of the nin-dogs in our clan."
"I didn't know so much work was involved to breed a nin-dog," Naruto said impressed, "But I assume most Inuzuka feel the same as you so why tolerate such practices from others at an event held by you."
"Well, it does generate money for the clan," Hana replied trying to ignore Naruto's presence behind her as she checked over the dog in front of her marking it down as too weak to be added to the clan's program. "We after all have to pay some of these people for the rights to breed their dogs to ours. Depending on how bad we want them we can be talking about a lot of money. Besides what they do isn't technically illegal, just doesn't show that they care for anything but how an animal looks. "
Naruto nodded, taking in her figure as she squatted down to look over the animal closer, he asked, "Do you mind if I tag along?"
Although a part of her wanted to get as far from him as possible before she lost control she found herself saying, "Not at all. But it'll probably be pretty boring."
"Oh I'm sure I'll manage to find a way to stop from getting bored," he said with a tongue in cheek bit of humor.
It turned out that Naruto didn't have a problem with boredom since one thing the Inuzuka looked for was aggressiveness. Not the over the top that was found in underground dog fights, which were sadly found throughout the Shinobi world and that the Inuzuka shutdown with the same ferocity that most shinobi would illegal slave trading, but the aggressiveness not to back down even to enemies that technically overmatched them. Therefore he found himself constantly being growled and snapped at. But amazingly enough Hana had no problem approaching as even the most ill-tempered of dogs seemed to relax as she came near them.
When he had commented on it Hana had seemed ashamed rather than proud. When he asked why her reply had been, "My mom says it's because I lack the traits necessary to be a good alpha."
Sighing she said, "Take a good look at me."
"Believe me I have," Naruto said honestly in a way that made the woman blush.
He smiled at her coloring face but then frowned in confusion when she asked, "What do you see?"
"A beautiful woman."
"But not a beautiful Inuzuka woman," Hana said moving on to the next stand.
Quickly catching up he asked, "Are you adopted?"
"No, it's just unlike most in my family the traits of my clan didn't seem to be passed on." Taking a closer look Naruto did notice that unlike Kiba or Tsume. Hana lacked the slightly enlarged canines and the slitted eyes. Take away the fang like tattoos on her cheek and Hana could pass for a normal civilian. Before he could ask Hana seemed to sense his next question saying, "No my mother didn't have an affair with a civilian."
Although he was about to ask that he raised his hands defensively saying, "The words never passed my lips." Despite herself and the subject matter, Hana smiled briefly.
"Still I have to wonder though what that has to do with being considered an Alpha. Sure, it might be important to be able to intimidate a rival into backing down. But if you ask me the ability to put them at ease and make a fight unnecessary seems to be a more impressive ability."
Again Hana blushed and favored him with a smile but said, "Unfortunately, much like we exclude certain animals for lacking traits we feel are necessary for nin-dogs from the program. My lacking even the most basic of Inuzuka traits labeled me as something of an outcast. I doubt many Inuzuka suitors would consider me something to pursue for fear my defects will be passed along." As she finished her sentence Hana had begun looking over another of the entries.
"Well then perhaps like you look outside Konoha for new dogs, you should consider looking outside your clan," Naruto whispered into her ear coming up behind her. Hana whimpered slightly as his scent seemed to fill her nostrils as he rested a hand on her hip. She leaned into him ever so slightly surprised at herself.
But the moment was broken by a loud crash. "Get out of here," one of the patrons of the dog show shouted running by the stand they were in. They heard the sound of growling and both ran out to see a large black dog almost double the size of Akamaru. It had a man trapped beneath its massive paw and it was clear that he was dead. It turned towards them and Hana cursed seeing foam all around it mouth.
"Shit," she cursed as the animal lunged at them. Several of her clan members arrived with their canine partners to quell the disturbance but Hana shouted, "Keep back. There's a good chance it's rabid." Glad her own partners weren't present she had the clan members set up a perimeter to prevent it from escaping into the more populated areas of the show.
"What's the plan," Naruto said.
"Stay back," Hana said.
"You're still a genin," Hana shouted over her shoulder as she charged the beast. Although it wasn't a nin-dog it still sensed her attack and managed to avoid her as she attempted the fang over fang. Landing on all fours she cursed having lost sight of the animal as it had taken off around several of the stands. Giving pursuit she took off after it but the animal had quickly doubled back and bashed through one of the stands. The board landed on her with the animal using it to pin her down. It glared down at her and tried snapping at her face but she managed to push the board off of her. Nevertheless the creature landed on its feet and lunged at her again before she managed to get to her own.
Before it could tackle her to the ground something hit her from the side moving her out of the way as the dog smashed into a nearby stall. As the person who tackled her rose to his feet holding her in his arms he said, "I might be a genin, but I'm still Naruto Uzumaki. Now how gentle do I have to be."
Examining the creature that was now heavily foaming she said, "We have to destroy it."
"Alright," Naruto said setting her down. Charging the rabid animal it leapt at him managing to slice his arm as Naruto narrowly avoid the attack. Before the animal could round on him though he held his hand out and a Rasengan formed which he easily slammed into the creature's side sending it flying off into an empty booth.
Holding his bleeding arm he asked Hana, "Are you alright?"
Hana stared dumbfounded at the ease he handled the animal before saying, "Your arm!"
"I'll be fine," he said waving her concern off.
"Hana," a member of her clan said running up.
"Please see what happened here. Start with the man it had killed. If my hunch is correct he's probably the one that caused this mess. I'm going to attend to Naruto."
The man nodded taking off to follow her orders. Despite his protests Hana managed to get Naruto moving to where she could examine his wound. As they walked he asked, "Why do you think that guy was behind this?"
"As I said being asked for your canine to join the breeding program involves quite a bit of money. Therefore, sometimes the breeders sabotage each other. Considering that canine was almost a shoe in to be asked I have little doubt the man injected him with some virulent form of rabies to make us have to destroy it."
"What a waste."
"Yes," Hana said guiding him into the kitchen of her family's home. "Now sit here. I have to make sure you aren't infected."
"It didn't bite me," Naruto said calmly.
"True, but better safe than sorry less you share its fate," Hana said leaving the jinchuriki alone. She returned several minutes later holding a medical kit. Taking a sample of his blood she put it in a test-tube and then squirted some blue liquid in it before shaking the solution. The color remained blue so she said, "Well it appears the animal didn't affect you. But I'm going to have to give you a shot just to be sure."
"Great more shots," Naruto said mirthlessly.
Smiling she said, "Be a big boy and I'll give you a treat."
"Hopefully a big boy one," Naruto said with a smile as he began releasing some of his pheromones.
Hana flushed almost immediately, but remained silent trying to calm her suddenly overheated body. She quickly gave him the shot and moved to begin cleaning his rapidly closing wounds. "Amazing," she said watching as the largest one finished closing.
Hana began to gather up her medical equipment saying, "I imagine you'll be okay. You really should be more careful in the future."
Standing and coming up behind her, Naruto said, "You should take your own advice. Did you really think taking on the dog by yourself was a good idea? Or, were you just hoping that defeating it would make you appear to be more alpha like?"
"D-don't be ridiculous," Hana said turning towards him, "Who would I be trying to impress? I've long since accepted my role in the clan."
Placing his hands on the table behind her with her between them and after bringing his face close to hers, he said, "Well I can't really answer that, only you can. But there's one thing I can tell you about being an alpha."
Feeling overpowered by his presence Hana asked, "W-what's that?"
"He takes what he wants." No sooner had he finished his sentence then Hana leaned forward locking her lips to his. The kiss quickly deepened and before she knew it Hana was laying on her family's kitchen table. With the blonde pressed on top of her.
Naruto broke the kiss to stare into Hana's eyes and smiled as she looked away. Whispering into the ear she presented to him, he said, "No, no, no, you were doing so well. You have nothing to be embarrassed about."
"What about those other girls you've dated?"
"Well to be honest, I've been quite intimate with them."
Hana turned her head and stared at him in surprise, but he simply smiled at her before saying, "I told you an Alpha always takes what he wants. But he also makes sure to care and provide for his pack as well. If you don't want this push me away, and I'll respect your wishes."
Hana tensed and for a moment Naruto thought she'd do exactly that. But he was surprised when she suddenly pushed him back and up against a counter before saying, "What makes you so sure you're the alpha here?" Before he could respond she slammed her lips to his greedily. As they kissed, they fought for position with whoever ended up pressed against the counter momentarily surrendering control of the kiss.
Naruto decided on a game changer and slid his hand into the shorts she was wearing. As he pushed his hand past her panties he could feel that Hana muff was quite hairy. Sliding a finger inside of her the woman seemed to surrender as she clung to his shoulders while he worked his magic. She suddenly stopped his hand saying, "W-wait not here."
"Worried about someone catching us?"
"N-no," she said instead of explaining pulled his hand from her shorts and then used it to guide him through her home. Naruto was surprised that instead of heading upstairs to where he assumed her room would be she opened a door underneath the stairwell that led downstairs.
As they reached the bottom Naruto was surprised to find a large platform carved out of the wall all the way across the room. Resting on the platform was a mat that was covered in many pillows. Along the walls were clawmarks but he could tell they were made by people as opposed to the dogs the clan was known for. Hana began stripping quickly saying, "There's something you should know about Inuzuka women. When we have sex for the first time or have gone without for a while we tend to lose ourselves to our beastly instincts. It… also tends to establish our… roles in the relationship."
Naruto guessed she was beginning to lose herself since her ability to think coherently was appearing to suffer. But confused asked, "What do you mean?"
Hana closed with him and dragged him to that mat as she did so she said, "W…when an Inuzuka takes a mate and senses she… may be stronger…she…she will….try and…" But upon reaching it, Hana let go of his hand and climbed on top of the mat on all fours. She looked at him hungrily as if taking stock of him for several moments but then shivered. She then turned from him giving him a glorious view of her dripping cunt. She dropped her head to the mat and kept her ass in the air. When he didn't move she began to wag it back and forth. Getting the hint, he pulled his shirt over his head and began stripping out of his pants.
Climbing onto the platform Naruto squatted on his haunches behind her. Grabbing her hips he eased himself into the woman enjoying the way she moaned at his entry. Almost immediately he began stirring up her insides causing Hana to whimper which spurred him on finding the sound highly erotic. Reaching around Naruto began rubbing her clit causing Hana to raise her head from the mat to howl in pleasure. Almost immediately she returned her head to its previous position. Despite the highly pleasant feeling surrounding his cock he found it rather strange.
Hana began to tighten around him and Naruto considered staving off his own orgasm but found his ability hampered by the sound of feet running angrily down the steps. He caught site of who had caught them in the act just as he filled Hana's womb with his seed.
Tsume was pissed as she headed home from the Dog Show. Not an unusual state of emotion for her lately do to the challenge she felt was being brought forth by the Nine-tail jinchuriki. But for most who knew her, felt her anger had been simmering beneath the surface ever since her husband had left her. Reaching her home her nin-dog partner took off into the woods behind the house where all the nin-dogs lived. Although welcome in the homes of the clan the animals tended to rather stay in nature.
Watching her partner run off, Tsume thought of the blonde bastard as she was beginning to think of him. First he had begun eating at restaurants that she frequented and for whatever reason his scent quickly would arouse her. But then the bastard would takeoff almost immediately after her arrival, like a wolf that was slowly pushing into another's territory to see how far he could get before being challenged. When he had seen him in the Hokage mansion she had tested him to see if he'd back down, and although impressed he didn't. She had quickly grown angry getting the feeling that he had been testing her as well.
Then there had been the dog show. She still couldn't get the scent from out of her nose. The bastard had actually marked the tree tops with his scent like he was calling her out. What was worse was she was tempted to go to the fairgrounds later that night and cover them up with her own. However she doubted the bastard would be able to tell.
As if that wasn't enough, the disaster that had been averted today had been the result of foul play. Most likely the vial the man had injected the dog with had been provided by an enemy shinobi to deny the powerful beast's material from joining the breeding program. Furthermore she had heard Naruto was the one that had brought it down.
Entering her home she thought her nose was playing tricks on her as she could smell Naruto's scent in the house. Growling, she was about to go in search of him to beat the shit out of the boy since marking her home was a challenge she couldn't ignore. However, she heard a howl from the room specifically made for times when her Inuzuka's lusts took over. But since it only happened in the presence of a mate during the first time or long dry spells, Tsume hadn't needed to use it in years.
Her eyes opened wide in understanding though since her clansmen had told her that Hana had taken Naruto to be examined. The elder Inuzuka hadn't failed to notice how Hana had been attracted to the blonde, as she was forced to admit if she didn't see him as a challenge to her status would have probably as well. Growling in anger, she threw open the door bounding down the steps just as the jinchuriki and her daughter both shared an orgasm together.
Almost immediately Tsume knew who the alpha in the coupling was as Naruto fell back his seed leaking from her daughter's snatch. Tsume growled taking a step forward, fighting her bestial instincts trying to take over due to the lust she was feeling. It proved difficult as Naruto looked over towards her and instead of displaying fear as she imagined most would in such a situation, appeared rather satisfied.
Taking another step forward she growled, "You bastard…get out!" However, before he could respond Tsume took a step back in surprise when her daughter rounded on her growling. Being challenged by Naruto was bad enough; however she wouldn't take it from her daughter and as a result of the new challenge felt her bestial instincts begin to take over. Especially since her daughter was challenging her right to mate with the stud, and as Alpha she had first call.
Losing her sense of reason she managed to growl, "Know…your place bitch," before leaping at her. Hana was all too ready to meet her in order to defend her right to Naruto.
Naruto for the most part wasn't sure what to do as he never meant to cause mother and daughter to break out into a fight over him. Although it was actually more of a wrestling match then actual fight and watching the two women soon had an affect on his dick which grew hard. Hana ended up pinned on her back by Tsume and when the younger Inuzuka tried to get up the elder slammed her down hard causing her daughter to whimper. Tsume let Hana go who moved off to a corner of the platform watching sadly as Tsume crawled towards him on all fours.
The woman managed to get her pants off as she closed the distance between them, but left her flak-jacket on. Naruto could see that unlike Hana's full bush which had been trimmed, Tsume's was wild and untamed. When she was right in front of him the older woman pounced quickly lining her cunt with his cock. When she was about to bury his dick in her, Hana whimpered. Realizing that if Tsume was the one to control things she'd view herself as the Alpha in the relationship, he managed to shove her off. She growled at him before jumping at him again but Naruto caught her and slammed her into the mat. Quickly getting behind her and grabbing her by the hips, he got ahold of her hair forcing her face down into the mat. Holding her like that, he began rubbing his cock along her hairy slit eliciting a whimpered moan from her.
When she began matching his movements, he pulled back pulling an even louder one from her and then slammed forward burying himself deep inside her. Tsume howled in pleasure and came immediately. He then began pistoning his tool in and out of her soaking cunt. Naruto let go of her hair, but when she tried to raise her head immediately forced her face back into the mat. He would repeat the process several times and eventually Tsume kept her head down much as Hana had.
Looking towards the younger Inuzuka, he saw she watched on sadly obliviously upset at losing her mate. "Hana come," Naruto said, causing a look of hope to appear in the woman's eyes. She began crawling towards them, but Tsume growled deeply causing Hana to stop. Naruto responded by bringing his hand down on Tsume's ass pulling a yelp from her throat. Hana began to move again and Tsume growled although slightly softer. However, Naruto spanked the elder Inuzuka just as hard but twice this time. It repeated three more times with the number of spankings doubling each time, leaving Tsume's butt rather red but after receiving her final spanking Tsume surprised him when her cunt tightened around his shaft. Riding out her orgasm Tsume's moans became less forceful as she began to lose her grip on consciousness.
When Hana was right by him, she rose up to her knees and began licking his neck and chest. He then positioned her on all fours next to her mother where he began to finger her snatch while he continued to pound her mother's pussy. Tsume tightened around him again, but this time Naruto allowed himself the pleasure of filling her cunt with his cum. When he pulled out Tsume didn't move but her ass slowly sunk towards the mat.
Hana turned and began licking his cock much as he imagined a dog would. Due to his sensitivity the sensation was quite pleasurable and he immediately began to harden again. However, he pulled her off saying, "Hana, do you have some shaving cream?"
She stared at him in confusion, but eventually her humanity began to reassert itself as she nodded. She ran upstairs the sound of her feet echoing through the house. She returned moments later with several more items then he requested obviously knowing what he was planning. He smiled as he saw that she had also lathered her own bush with the cream he had asked for. Taking the towel she had brought he laid her down on it, before taking the razor. He had her sit back on the mat and she spread her legs. Gently he began shaving away the hair, leaving a small stripe that pleased his new lover as he wiped away the excess cream. Moving on to her mother, Naruto repeated the process although this time he left her mound completely bald.
When he was finished he turned to Hana motioning her towards him. He maneuvered her off the platform and set her between his legs. Getting the hint, Hana began to once more lick his cock as Naruto leaned his head back and moaned. As she licked him, Naruto noticed that Hana seemed to once more give into her animal side. He heard movement behind him and looking over his shoulder saw Tsume waking up. She ran her hand over her shaven mound and when she locked eyes with him actually blushed. Hearing the content noises Hana was making, she crawled towards him and looking over the edge of the platform saw her daughter licking his cock.
Moving around him, she joined her daughter on the floor and taking up a position next to her began joining in the pleasing of his dick. Naruto groaned in pleasure as the two women got into a steady rhythm moving their tongues up and down his shaft on opposite sides. Feeling his balls tighten he said, "Cumming," but both women kept licking and as his dick erupted it coated their faces in his seed. The two women sat there a moment as he panted, but then Tsume leaned forward and licked her daughter's face. When she pulled back Hana moved forward to do the same to her mother. Watching the two Inuzuka taking turns licking his seed from each other he could only think of one thing to say, "Good Girls."

After the implant has healed it is time to place an abutment on the implant. The abutment serves as the base for your new tooth. Once this is placed, an impression of the abutment is taken and is used to create your permanent restoration. Some offices have an onsite lab to create the crown, but others will have to send it to an outside lab. Once the restoration is completed you can return to the office to attach the restoration permanently. Your smile will look great, and after a short period of getting used to the implant it will feel just like one of your own teeth.


Because sometimes what you need most is to learn about a trio of goodest girls using their canine smarts and boundless energy to help replant burned forestland in Chile.
Meet 6-year-old Das and her two daughters, Olivia and Summer, three beautiful Border Collies working to help re-seed lands in the Maule Region of central Chile that were devastated last year by over 100 different wildfires.
More than one million acres of forest land were lost to the fires, but these special dogs have been trained to run through the newly barren land while wearing special backpacks that release native seeds as they run. Those seeds will take root and help revitalize lands that were once lush with trees and other vegetation.
That's right, these puppers are replanting forests simply by doing what they love best, running around like crazy. It just happens that during these runs they're scattering approximately 20 pounds of seeds over a 15 mile area.
Of course, these three talented doggos aren't doing this all by their canine selves. They're trained by their humans, sisters Francisca and Constanza Torres.
Francisca Torres is also the founder of an animal-centric community called Pewos and together the sisters have taken it upon themselves to cover the costs for all of the seeds, supplies, and transportation required for this ongoing project.
For more photos of these do-gooding doggos, follow Summer The Border Collie on Instagram.

Iontophoresis is a modality used by physical therapists to treat a wide variety of conditions, including bursitis, tendonitis/tendinopathy, and to help manage scar tissue. It uses electrical stimulation to help administer medication into your body through the skin. Contact Blue Sky Physical Therapy in Denver, CO to learn more about how iontophoresis can help decrease inflammation, scar tissue, or pinpoint pain areas in order to promote healing and improve your function.
Iontophoresis works by applying either a negatively or positively charged solution to a patch, and then using electricity to push the medicine into your injured tissue. To understand the basic principles, a refresher in physics and chemistry class is needed. Ionic charges that are alike will repel one another. Therefore, if you apply a negatively charged solution to the negative end of the patch, the medication will be repelled, and pushed into the tissue.
Your Denver Physical Therapist will work with you to decide of iontophoresis Is right for you!
Your Blue Sky Physical Therapist will determine which type of medication to use with iontophoresis, depending on your condition. Corticosterois, lidocaine, and analgesics may be used. Once your physical therapist determines which medication is right for you, the medication will be placed onto a patch. Your skin will be cleaned with alcohol and the patch will be placed over the tender or painful area. We will then use an electrical current to break down the resistance of the skin, in order to make it more effective in delivering the medication. This current only takes about 3 minutes. The medicated patch will then stay on for the next 18 to 24 hours, to ensure maximal delivery of the medication. You may feel some pins and needles with the electrical current, sometimes described as a tiny bee sting. If you feel uncomfortable during the treatment, notify your physical therapist immediately. Because we are trying to breakdown the skin resistance, do not be surprised if your skin is red where the patch was placed after the treatment.
Iontophoresis is a very safe procedure, and typically the side effects are minimal. As previously stated, you may feel a slight pinprick tingling sensation when the electrical current is on. Some patients will develop a rash and/or breakdown of skin after the patch is removed. Please notify your Denver Physical Therapist if this happens and we will adjust your treatment schedule as needed.
Are you wondering if iontophoresis is right for you? At Blue Sky Physical Therapy in Denver, CO, we offer many options for helping with pain and dysfunction. Keep in mind, iontophoresis is a passive treatment and works best when combined with active treatment, including exercise for stretching and strengthening, as well as hands-on treatment including manual therapy.


Our recommended steps for a successful renovation include tips on planning, selecting the right renovator and details that should be in a written contract.
I can do it myself; I don't need a professional renovator; anyone can do it. If the work is simple and involves things you have done before successfully, you may well be right. But ask yourself: Do I know the current building code requirements? Can I protect my family against potential law suits because I understand current government safety regulations? Biting off more than you can chew is a major cause of renovation stress, not to mention the extra costs to have work redone.
I can save a lot of money by acting as my own contractor. If you're an experienced construction manager, and you have the time, during the day, this may be the case. But remember, the contractor is responsible for managing everyone else involved in the project. Knowing the order of work to be performed and setting the standards for quality are essential, which means you have to a have a working knowledge of all components in the renovation.
It's a small project, so it shouldn't take long. It's not necessarily the size of the job that dictates its length, but the number of steps and sub-trades involved. A quality job requires a realistic job schedule.
A professional renovator should be able to give me a good idea of price right away. For a simple project, a renovator may well be able to provide a rough estimate. But for anything more complex, or where structural issues may crop up, or where costs depend on material or finishing choices you have yet to make, a more detailed plan is needed before costs can be estimated accurately.
I should get at least three bids (and more is better). Getting a large number of bids provides no assurance they are based on the comparable specifications or that the renovation companies are equal in skills. From whom you get bids is more important than how many you collect. Focus on interviewing professional renovators, and look for the experience and qualifications that best match your project, as well as the personal fit between you and the renovator. Then, you can decide who to ask for detailed quotes, one, two or more renovators.
I am the best person to design my own renovation. True, you know your own house and what you want. But a professional renovator or designer draws on a wealth of experience and knowledge (about building code, structural restrictions and more), and can offer you ideas and suggestions, large and small, that you may never have thought about, adding extra value and living enjoyment to your home.
Cost overruns are usually the renovator's fault. Extra costs almost always are due to extra work not included in the original plan, like having to replace old wiring in the walls. Often, homeowners add to the work: "While we're at it, we may as well …" It's best to add a 10 to 15 per cent contingency fund to the budget.
I don't need a permit. Perhaps, but depending on your project, that may be illegal. Structural changes usually require a permit. A professional always will recommend getting all the necessary permits and inspections. Insurance companies usually require proof of permits as an indication work has passed inspection and is worthy of being insured. Also on resale, potential buyers may want to know about the renovations on your house, including whether you got permits.
A renovation isn't a good place for on-the-job learning. Using a professional RenoMark renovator is always the top recommendation for bringing your dreams to reality.

1. Fun and fascinating work colleagues and friends.
3. Christmas lunch at work. Definitely festive.
I also bought a homeless man a cup of coffee on the way to the pub. It's a a very small act of kindness that I do very occasionally and in the freezing cold last night I couldn't just walk past. The idea I'm following at the moment encourages you to do small acts of kindness I guess so it puts like into perspective and spreads positivity. So I'm going to think about this more.


Monday's episode of Jada Pinkett Smith's Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk, was an especially emotional one, dealing with the topic of domestic violence.
Jada talks to her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, about her relationship with her father, the late Robsol Pinkett, Jr., who died in 2010. Adrienne says Jada's father physically abused her and was typically drunk during the incidents, including one time when she says he threw her over a banister and left a scar on her back.
Jada replies, "See, I was a violent drunk too, that's why I had to stop drinking."
But the 47-year-old actress is later shocked when Adrienne talks about the extent of the abuse she says she received from Jada's father.
"He gave me a black eye once, and I tried to hide it from Mommy, but she saw it," Adrienne says, adding that her mother, a social worker, warned her about him the first time she met him. " ... But I do know when enough gets to be enough, and you gotta get out of there. And I actually ran for my life."
Adrienne shares that the breaking point came when he arrived at her parents' house where she and Jada were staying and was angry, and started hitting her while "in a rage." Adrienne gets emotional when recalling how she ran to a neighbor's house across the street and yelled for them to get her help. Adrienne left Jada at the house while she stayed with the neighbor, noting that Robsol would never hurt Jada. When the police arrived, Adrienne says she knew the incident was the last straw.
"His addiction -- he just wasn't rational," Adrienne says. "I feel like once again I'm trying to make excuses for him. And I think that's what women do. But whatever the reasons were, you have to -- at the end of the day -- you have to protect yourself."
Jada breaks down talking about her late father, sharing that he was a "gentle soul" once he got sober and noting that he didn't have the best upbringing. Jada was forced to pause at this point, as both her mother and her daughter, 18-year-old Willow Smith, comforted her.
"It's not easy to hear that your parents experienced that together," she says, as Adrienne notes that she wishes Robsol was still alive to share his side of the story. "Now that I'm older, I have so much more compassion in knowing what he had gone through. You know, 'cause I was pretty harsh on him."
Jada says that while she's never had a physically abusive relationship, she's definitely had her fair share of emotionally abusive relationships. But she does describe one particularly harrowing incident when she pulled a knife on a man she was dating. The actress says he had been drinking and driving at the time, then got "really aggressive" in the car.
"I ran to the house, I had to take my clothes off, I had to take off my heels, and I always travel with a black Russell hoodie and black Russell sweats just in case something pops off," she recalls. And I remember jumping in that sweatsuit, grabbing a big old knife from the kitchen, and hiding in his son's room. And I'll never forget, he came through the back sliding door, like on a creepy creep creep, like he was going to sneak up on me or something like that ... I came out of his son's bedroom and I was like, 'Don't come near me.' And he said the quintessential line you hear in movies all the time, 'You think I would hurt you? I would never do that to you.' And I was like, 'Oh my god, I am in trouble.' I was in trouble."
Incredibly, she says director Spike Lee saved her from the situation, calling her about his 1996 film Girl 6 at the exact moment. Jada then immediately left the relationship and didn't see him again until after she was already with husband Will Smith. She says they bumped into her ex when she attended a wedding and he was at the same resort.
"Not a bad guy at all, a very sweet guy, but just has those tendencies of violence," she now reflects. "But that's all the sign I needed."
Jada ended the episode on an emotional note, fighting back tears as she shared a message for people suffering from abuse.
"I just wanna say to anybody that is going through any kind of domestic violence, I just hope that this show could give you the courage and the strength and the understanding to know that there's no reason to be shamed," she says. "There is help and you deserve better. And we are sending you love and blessings."
Meanwhile, Red Table Talk continues to be a hit thanks to Jada, Adrienne and Willow's extremely revealing and candid conversations. Watch the video below to see Jada and her mom sound off on the topic of race.

Donald R. Johnston
El Monte Police Department
On Jan. 29, 1990, Officer Don Johnston responded to a report of a person attempting to pass a forged check at a local bank. Upon arrival, Johnston entered one entrance of the bank and was soon confronted by Nguyen Lu, who had tried to cash a bad check.
Lu was armed with a handgun, and pointed his weapon at Johnston who drew and pointed his service weapon at him. However, there was a civilian between the two of them. Johnston, having regard for the civilian's safety, placed himself between the civilian and Lu, pushing the civilian from harms way.
Lu shot, hitting Johnston in the neck causing paralysis below the waist. The 9mm bullet entered the left front side of Johnston's throat, damaging his voice box. It severed a vocal chord nerve and struck the T1-T2 vertebrae, causing paralysis from the chest down. Johnston was told he would never walk or talk again. At first he was certain his law enforcement career was finished.
Johnston, 35, who was a two-year veteran of El Monte Police Department, was rendered a paraplegic, with impaired function of some vital organs, including his bladder, and complete loss of the use of his lower limbs. He was hospitalized and underwent extensive rehabilitation for one full year. In lieu of applying for a disability retirement, to which he was entitled, he applied to return to duty.
Johnston, the father of a 17-year-old son from a previous marriage, chose not to retire. Instead, he returned to work a year later as a detective specializing in missing children.
The following year he transferred to the training office and was placed in charge of doing background checks on new hires. When a helicopter observer job opened up, Johnston applied immediately.
"How often does a cop in a wheelchair ever get a chance to be in patrol again?" Johnston asked. "It doesn't happen . . . I worked hard to become a cop and to have that suddenly ripped away from me, it's hard to accept."
He continued working as a peace officer and an important part of the department for a full 10 years, from a wheelchair.
Over the years, Johnston's health deteriorated until he was unable to work as a peace officer. It was determined that he had contracted cancer as a direct result of his injuries. In November 2001, Johnston honorably retired due to his medical condition. On Nov. 22, 2002 Johnston succumbed to the cancer and passed away.
Lu, the assailant who shot Johnston, was captured two hours after the incident. He pled guilty and was sentenced to 17 years and four months in prison. In July 1992, he hung himself in his cell.
Johnston received numerous awards following the shooting incident. They included the Medal of Valor, Congressional Award, Silver Star for Bravery, Legion of Honor Award, Certificate of Valor from the office of the Attorney General, Hero of the Week from the Los Angeles Dodgers, 1990 Police Officer of the Year from R.G. Canning, 1990 State Hero of the Year from the 40/8 Veterans Group, 1990 State Hero of the Year Certificate of Recognition from the California State Legislature, 1990 State Hero of the Year Certificate of Recognition from the California State Senate and Person of the Week from KABC Channel 7 News.
He also received Letters of Commendation from Gov. George Deukmejian, the city of South El Monte, county of Los Angeles and Governor Pete Wilson.
Various community organizations raised a substantial amount of money for him. The city of El Monte created a new award in Johnston's honor, The Don Johnston Man of Courage Award. Because of his work with school children and his example of bravery, Johnston also received a Golden Apple Award from the El Monte School District.
Johnston's comment at the time was "It amazes me of how the community has embraced me. To be recognized for what I did doesn't make it worth it, but it makes me want to get better all the more."
In a 1998 interview Johnston stated, "Sometimes life isn't fair, but you make your decisions based on what life gives you."
Johnston was the second of three generations to serve as a police officer for the city of El Monte. His father, Loren "Corky" retired from El Monte Police Department, and his son, Eric, is currently employed there as a police officer.
Johnston leaves behind his wife, Ruth; son, Eric; and two granddaughters, Erika and Virginia. He is also survived by his parents, Loren and Rosalyn; brothers, Michael, David and Doug; and nephews and nieces.

Re: google tabs - good enough?
- is not better the use of radio buttons or check box?
I think the tabs are a bit 1999, is not the time for something better?
them - it means users have had exposure to them and probably know how to interact with them.


It's eye-opening to get a glimpse of what online life, culture, aesthetics, and graphics were like a mere 10 or 12 years ago. One of the best places to get reacquainted with the lost zeitgeist of this prehistoric, pre-Web era is by pointing your browser to one of the Web's many obscure repositories of ANSI Art. What was ANSI Art? Well, according to the Webopedia, this brief but important computer art movement owed its origin to the inclusion of a device driver called ANSI.SYS that was first bundled with MS-DOS 3.3. This driver allowed "extended screen codes", otherwise known as "escape sequences", to be used to define a series of colors that considerably spiced up MS-DOS's traditionally ominous and forbidding "jet black" screen interface. Images created in this way frequently migrated out to Bulletin Board Systems, in fact, it was the very popularity of these BBS's which created a demand for so many of them.
The easiest way to get a feel for the ANSI Art genre is at http://www.mjbdiver.com/ansi/. Here, through clever use of a Java applet, 35 early ANSI works - many of them serving as the home pages of BBS systems - are easily accessible. ANSI Art was never really accepted by "serious digital artists" (who used Macs with better resolution and higher color depths), and perhaps the state of psychological exile - imposed from within by the limitations of ANSI, and from without by the scorn of the "fine arts" Mac-heads explains the negative images we often see in ANSI collections.
isolation. Happy/positive images are frequently presented by alien presences, or as an experience that a human is enjoying in solitude (eg. fishing or walking on a beach).
Images in "Remembrance Pack", a remarkable collection of 1989-91 ANSI work by the artist SHADOW DEMON available for download at: http://www.acid.org/ftp/aaa-8991.zip explore the outer limits of abstraction possible within ANSI - to the point that some observers need to spend many minutes studying these images before being able to parse through any possible meaning. This artifact - I term it "ANSI image blanking", is caused by the fact that viewing these images locally is a very different experience than viewing them when using a slow 2,400 BPS modem - the delivery platform for which they were designed. Of course, the users experiencing these screens in 1990 or '91 had a very different experience - the screens scrolled, often at 14.4K, slowly from top to bottom, hence the consistent placement of text at the upper-left hand corner, where it would be displayed first - tipping the user off as to what was being illustrated, which appeared slowly, line-by-line, as the data was passed from the BBS to the user.
Is ANSI Art "Fine Art?". Probably not. Several fine arts institutions have actually recognized ASCII Art, a distant cousin, as worthy of curatorial respect, but never ANSI, which is likened more to digital folk art - a provisional form that had too many limitations - both technical and those resulting from the uneven design training of its artists - to make it acceptable to the digital art critic or a wider circle of enthusiasts beyond those using the systems in which it was embedded. One factor that keeps it a surpressed, or at least largely unknown digital art genre is the fact that few of the pre-Web BBS's are still running, nor are there any legitimate efforts to memorialize these systems in the same way that there are multiple efforts to memorialize the Web in projects such as the Internet Archive. Computer historians, however, see that ANSI Art tells us a lot about the state of pre-Web culture in the early 1990's - a world of BBS's, 14.Kpbs modem, and SYSOPs. Embedded in its clunky, boxy screens is a concrete representation of a common, widely-shared online experience likely to provoke a measurable shock of recognition for those using these systems in those days.

State needs medical marijuana now -- Connie Palmer Smalley
I cannot be alone in observing how screwed up our drug policy in the United States is.
JOHN HART, STATE JOURNAL
Having marijuana on the same schedule as heroin hurts marijuana's availability for pain and chronic debilities. So what do people turn to? Opiates.
Due to this misguided government position, opiate use has led to countless, needless deaths across the country. It's been called a crisis -- if so, then urgent action is required. Wisconsin must join the other 34 states that have legalized medical marijuana, and it must not be narrowly defined.
This step would be cost-effective, too, because we would need less costly medical attention to deal with opiate overdoses.

Admissions pressure harms students -- Niha Patankar
As a high school student, one of the biggest stressors for me and my friends is getting into college and all the steps along the way: getting good grades, keeping up with homework, maintaining multiple extracurricular activities and having a social life.
But the unfortunate truth is that, due to the small percent of students being accepted into top colleges, chances are we will not get into our dream schools. The recent celebrity college admissions scandal and increased debate about legacy students and affirmative action have begun to shed light on the issues concerning the college admissions process.
Are college admissions based on the intellectual capacity of students or a variety of other social factors? If kids can get into colleges by having rich parents or parents that went to prestigious colleges, then ordinary kids without these advantages are forced to work much harder to compete with advantaged students.
Unfortunately, the harder ordinary high school students have to work, the more they suffer socially and emotionally. We've seen recent statistical increases in sleep deprivation, anxiety and depression among teens. For the benefit of high school students across the nation, maybe it's time to change the college admissions system.
Niha Patankar, Fitchburg, West High School student
Support licenses for immigrants -- Francis Pauc
The Legislature's Joint Finance Committee has set dates for hearings on the governor's budget.
It is important for people to make their voices heard at these hearings for a variety of reasons, but it is especially necessary for citizens to speak up about the need to make driver's licenses available for residents of the state who are undocumented.
I often escort undocumented immigrants to their court appearances. With rare exceptions, they are in court because they have been driving without a license. They are driving without a license simply because Wisconsin won't allow them to have a valid license. These immigrants drive because they have to get to their jobs. In short, they are being criminalized because they are trying to support their families.
These people are trying to do the right thing, and yet they are forced to live in fear of deportation. What would make all Wisconsin residents safer: having undocumented immigrants driving without licenses, or allowing them to drive legally and with insurance?
Francis Pauc, Oak Creek
Cheer the beer, don't fear the beer -- Jim Bolitho
The writer of a letter to the editor Friday called attention to the early season success of the Milwaukee Brewers and suggested a new slogan: "Fear the Beer!"
Brewers need a new slogan -- Ed Guziewsk
A nice sentiment, but I think more appropriate to Milwaukee and all of Wisconsin would be: "Cheer the Beer!"
Jim Bolitho, town of Middleton
Arboretum deserving of honor -- Donna Silver
Congratulations to the many people over the years who have created the UW Arboretum on Madison's West Side. This Wisconsin treasure has recently been added to the National Register of Historical Places.
UW Arboretum ranks as a national 'historic place'
The 1,200-acre spread of gardens, woodlands, savannas and restored prairies rates a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Arboretum has been a multi-generational project, starting with John Nolen's initial proposal in 1911. The cause was taken up by Michael Olbrich in the 1920s and the first acres were acquired in 1932. At its dedication in 1934, Aldo Leopold articulated its mission: to reclaim original Wisconsin landscapes. The National Register Award is, in large part, a recognition of this legacy of restoration ecology.
Since the 1930s, the Arboretum has grown into the resplendent nature preserve that we enjoy today, admired especially for its dazzling array of lilacs every May.
Wisconsin should feel proud of the Arboretum, but also of our larger ecological heritage. What other state can boast three of the country's (with international status as well) most prominent ecologists: John Muir, who grew up in Portage and then attended UW-Madison; Aldo Leopold, author of "Sand County Almanac" and "The Land Ethic"; and Gaylord Nelson, founder of Earth Day.
The National Register Award is a fitting reminder of this distinguished ecological tradition.

Standard of the Governor of Tasmania
Standard of the Governor of Tasmania (1876-1977)
Standard of the Governor of Tasmania (9 November - 23 November 1875)
The Governor of Tasmania is the representative in the Australian state of Tasmania of Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia. The Governor performs the same constitutional and ceremonial functions at the state level as the Governor-General of Australia does at the national level.
In accordance with the conventions of the Westminster system of parliamentary government, the Governor nearly always acts solely on the advice of the head of the elected government, the Premier of Tasmania. Nevertheless, the Governor retains the reserve powers of the Crown, and has the right to dismiss the Premier.
See Governors of the Australian states for a description and history of the office of governor.
The official residence of the Governor is Government House located at the Queens Domain.
The first Australian-born Governor of Tasmania was Sir Stanley Burbury (appointed 1973). The first Tasmanian-born governor was Sir Guy Green (appointed 1995). Since Burbury, all Tasmanian governors have been Australian-born, except for Peter Underwood, who was born in Britain but emigrated to Australia when a teenager. The position was vacant for over five months in 2014, due to the unexpected death of the incumbent Peter Underwood on 7 July, with Chief Justice and Lieutenant-Governor Alan Blow acting as Administrator. On 10 November, Premier Will Hodgman announced that University of Tasmania legal academic Kate Warner would be appointed as the state's first female governor.[1] Warner was sworn in on 10 December.
As from the appointment of Kate Warner as governor in December 2014, The Queen, upon the recommendation of the Premier, accorded Professor Warner, and all future Governors, the title 'The Honourable' for life.[2]

Divided in two
Between 1804 and 1813, Van Diemen's Land was divided along the 42nd parallel, and the two sections governed as separate "Lieutenant-Governorships" under the Governor of New South Wales.[3][4] Collins was the only officially appointed Lieutenant-Governor—upon his death in 1810, the government in Hobart Town was administered, by the Commandants at Hobart Town (Lord, Murray and Geils). The northern settlement at Port Dalrymple (now George Town) was administered by four Commandants until the settlements were merged to form the single colony under the governorship of Thomas Davey in 1813.[5]

Appeals court upholds convictions of man known as Clark Rockfeller
Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter was escorted into a California courtroom in January for a preliminary hearing in his California murder case. Eric Grigorian for The Boston Globe
By Martin Finucane
A Massachusetts court has affirmed the convictions of Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, the con man who called himself Clark Rockefeller.
The Massachusetts Appeals Court today upheld Gerhartsreiter's convictions on charges of parental kidnapping and assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon.
Gerhartsreiter's kidnapping of his own daughter on July 27, 2008, sparked a nationwide manhunt that ended about a week later when he was arrested by the FBI in Baltimore.
Soon after, questions began to arise about the man who called himself a "Rockefeller'' and a bizarre tale of a human chameleon began to emerge, a young man who had immigrated to America from Germany and assumed various identities over a number of years.
The story took a dark twist when questions were raised about the disappearance of a young couple in California in the 1980s. Gerhartsreiter, who called himself Christopher Chichester at the time, occupied the guest house of the young man's mother. Gerhartsreiter was charged in March 2011 with killing John Sohus in San Marino, Calif., in 1985.
The three-judge panel of the appeals court today rejected a variety of challenges by Gerhartsreiter, including claims that his right to a fair and impartial jury had been violated by pretrial publicity, that the trial judge had improperly admitted certain testimony, and that the evidence on the assault and battery with a dangerous weapon charge was insufficient.
"The judge was required only to determine whether the jurors could exclude all matter not properly before them at trial, and decide the case fairly according to the facts presented and the instructions on the law given to them,'' the court said in an opinion written by Justice R. Malcolm Graham.
"Here, the judge, through a careful voir dire process, was able, without inordinate difficulty to empanel jurors who appeared to be impartial. We have no reason to assume that those who expressed impartiality were misleading the judge or mistaken about their own ability to judge fairly,'' the opinion said.
Gerhartsreiter was sentenced to four to five years in prison on the Massachusetts charges.

Controversial Newcastle hotel development given the green light
13 November 2019 by Janie Manzoori-Stamford
Plans for a 200-bed hotel on land surrounding the home of Newcastle United have been given the green light despite concerns over the impact on the St James' Park stadium.
Newcastle City Council has approved the proposal to build a 13-storey hotel at Strawberry Place, alongside two residential blocks of 21 and 10 floors each and a 12-storey office building.
Floor plans for the hotel suggest it will include a restaurant and bar, event space, meeting rooms and fitness facilities.
However, a "very large number" of objections have been raised over the £120m development, including by Newcastle upon Tyne Central MP Chi Onwurah, the Newcastle United Supporters Trust and residents that it could prevent future expansion of the stadium and block views of the stadium from parts of the city.
According to planning documents, the applicants said the development would not limit the development of the stadium, and the council recommended the plans which it said would "provide significant economic benefits in terms of jobs and investment in this part of the city".
Newcastle United FC owner and Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley sold the land to Durham-based Helios Investment Partners and Doncaster firm Marrico Asset Management in a £9m deal in February.

What's the next big thing in beer?
Wow, that's a big vague question. Someone asked it recently on r/beer and it got me thinking. Here's a list of the next big things...that are mostly already sort of big things!
Session IPAs - These are just such great beers. You get all the hop aroma and flavor without the high abv, which means you can actually have a couple pints. The concept has been around for a minute, pioneered largely by homebrewers, as many new styles are. It's great to see all the big guys cranking them out now.
Sours - This is hardly a new trend, but many people are very new-ish to good beer and sours are a revelation to them. That has continued to make sours more and more sought after. Relevant: What's the Next IPA? by Bart Watson for the BA.
Lots of little brewpubs popping up in every town - This is definitely happening in San Francisco and I see it going on all over the US. Are they quality joints? Some are and some aren't...see the #4 "next big thing" below for my thoughts on that.
Entrepreneurs who don't know sh1t about beer but think it's a "sure bet" business open lots of breweries and brew pubs with mediocre beer - Sorry, but it's true. I recently read a LOL-worthy article titled: "Is Craft Beer as Close to a Sure Thing as an Entrepreneur Can Get?" Well guess what...that's what all the businesspeople who destroyed the "microbrew" movement of the 1990's thought, too. They jumped onboard the trend and then lost their shirts because people decided microbrew sucked and stopped buying their crappy beer. Oh, there were some great breweries around then and some eventually made it big, such as Sierra Nevada and Lagunitas, but the microbrew business was generally swamped by mediocre beer makers that killed the whole trend off. That won't happen this time because we're too far into the "craft beer" trend, but the general quality of craft beer will probably fall as businesspeople and entrepreneurs who don't know or care about beer get into the business. Here's a clue for those folks: there's been talk for a couple years already of a potential bubble in the craft beer industry, so you may have missed the boat if you're just now thinking about getting in on it. I know, I know, I hear you saying: "but Chris, just look at the data, there's no end in sight for the rise of craft beer, blah blah blah." Not true, the industry is changing rapidly. Also, if you don't love good beer, don't waste consumer's time or your money, we already have great beer that's being made by people who got into the business because they're passionate and knowledgable about it. Those people will out compete you every time.
A differentiation between "craft breweries" that make good beer and a yet-to-be-named category of brewery that actually takes a real artisanal approach to beer making - It's inevitable that this will happen. The bigger craft breweries hold themselves out to be "artisanal" makers for the cool factor effect, but they aren't (FYI that doesn't mean for one second that their beer isn't excellent, so don't get all judge-y and holier than thou about it). How can Boston Beer Co, Lagunitas, Boulevard, and Goose Island all be in the same "craft beer" category as truly artisanal beer makers like Sante Adairius Rustic Ales, Hill Farmstead, or Cellarmaker? These companies aren't in the same category AT ALL, we just don't have a name yet for the smaller breweries. We're certainly not going to stop calling the big ones "craft," many of them have defined the "craft" genre for the last decade and will likely forever be called "craft brewers." In any case, the term "craft" has always been silly, meaningless, and more recently it's been totally perverted by big money companies...as almost everything with any subcultural cool-factor or positive descriptive marketing power inevitably is (see: "natural," "cage free," "organic," "small batch," "homemade," etc, etc, etc, etc). Nothing against the big guys, congrats to them for making it big, but they're making beer in semi robotic lights-out factory breweries, there's nothing artisanal about it and that's a fact. Why do I keep using the term "artisanal?" I don't know, it seems like it still means what it's supposed to mean, so maybe it's the correct term here. You tell me, what should the meaningful marketing-friendly name be for those tiny hand's on artisanal breweries?
Good beer in cans will get even more common - Cans have already been a trend for awhile now in part thanks to brewers like 21st Amendment and Oskar Blues. It's a great trend! Cans are better for the environment, ship more cheaply and efficiently than glass, and they keep beer out of sight of light that skunks bottled beer. It's a no-brainer.
New hop varieties - Everyone is always looking for the next big thing. Hops are already big. New and exciting hops are even bigger! Hits like Simcoe and Citra point the way forward. Listen up scientists and farmers: we'd like more great new hops, please!
Great beer will start coming into the U.S. from Central and South American brewers - There is some serious ramping up of the brewing culture in Central and South America. Also, they have cheaper labor and material prices. Fresh beer is the best beer, but shipping is pretty quick these days. I've already been seeing more beer from down there and I suspect that's a trend that will grow.
OK, I think that's enough for now. Please discuss!
Oh, one addition that is probably more of a personal dream than a real trend: how about if media coverage of beer raises it's game, currently it's mostly pitiful!
The Pat's Pints blog has some really interesting info (http://patspints.com/2015/09/28/breaking-down-the-2015-gabf-medalists/) about the changes in categories and medaling. Definitely the most interesting GABF wrap up I've seen so far.
DraftMag points out a few more trends gleaned from 2015 GABF (http://draftmag.com/gabf-beer-festival-2015-trends/): lagers are becoming big; hoppy sours and hoppy Brett beers are big; using local ingredients for beer is trendy; brewers are putting coffee in everything.
In a similar piece (http://fortune.com/2015/09/27/craft-beer-gabf-trends/), Fortune Mag says the trends are: still IPA but lighter Session IPAs are the trend; lighter session and "gateway" beers such as Pils and Kolsch are becoming very popular, sour beers are in (duh). Not much new there.
