Wegmans to end plastic bags by Jan. 27
Daily Messenger news partner, News 10NBC
Jan 7, 2020 at 2:57 PM Jan 7, 2020 at 2:57 PM
The statewide ban on single-use plastic bags begins on March 1, but if you shop at Wegmans, you need to start using those reusable bags early.
That's because Wegmans plans to ditch plastic bags by the end of this month.
When Susan Gasparino goes grocery shopping, she fills the cart. That's because she's shopping for a family of six: Mom, Dad, three kids and a schnauzer puppy. So she needs lots of reusable bags, and she doesn't mind one bit.
"If we just get in the habit of leaving them [reusable bags] in the car so they're there every time we need them, we're going to be good. I think it's a small change we can make that does a lot of good," said Gasparino, while shopping at the Wegmans at 1750 East Ave. in Rochester.
That's the belief of Wegmans leaders who are ditching the plastic early, on Jan. 27. That's more than a month before the statewide ban goes into effect.
"We're trying to encourage people to start with reusable bags now so when the law does come into effect they're accustomed to it," Tony Carnevale, a Wegmans manager, said.
"I'm not looking forward to it at all," Latoya Robinson, a Wegmans shopper, said.
She's worried about the possible transfer of bacteria in a reusable bag.
"I don't like the bag ban. I feel like when I buy meat and things I don't want to have to wash out bags," Robinson said. She also points out the plastic bags are used for more than groceries.
"Garbage a lot of the time. Even just to carry little things out of the house," she said, referring to other uses for the plastic bags.
"I use them all the time," shopper Liane Stevens said. "I have three big dogs, enough said." But despite that, she still supports the plastic bag ban.
"It's a good thing," she said, smiling broadly.
Many shoppers at the East Avenue Wegmans supported the plastic bag ban, even though they'll be charged a nickel a bag for a paper bag.
"Yeah, I think it's great!" shopper Brittany Pieters said. "I also think styrofoam should be banned, to-go containers at restaurants, that's another big one. So what I do is I bring my own when I'm going out to eat because I always need leftover bins."
And you can't get much more environmentally conscious than shopper Denise Kovnat.
"It's a good thing to help our fellow creatures and our environment," she said. "It's a very wonderful thing to do that. So consider yourself lucky that you can pitch in!"
Kovnat also drives an electric Prius, so there's no doubting her commitment to the environment.
Whether you share her belief that we're lucky to be a part of the plastic bag ban movement, soon that plastic will be no more. So grab that reusable bag before you head to your favorite Wegmans.
Wegmans leaders tell News 10NBC they'll donate the paper bag fee to Foodlink.
Tops is waiting until the statewide ban takes effect on March 1. It, too, will charge customers a nickel per paper bag.

I think it would be a cool idea to be able to hop behind the already existing control panel (mostly for coasters) and able to control the ride entirely. I.e Being able to open gates,harnesses,dispatch trains, Etc.
What would you want to control that isnt already available? If its a power launch you set the speed, the rest takes care of itself.
That's starting to sound like a job.
I don't think that is actually possible, maybe I am wrong though? Can a coaster be stopped in the middle? I swear I did see one once that stopped part way, and then was started again, but how is that possible? I don't think that it actually is... if the chain is the only motorized part, and the station is the only part with any brakes, the rest is just like a slide that works purely on momentum.
Don't forget in the finished game we will also be continouslly tweeking the entire park to meet the needs and desires of our guests.
I never liked this idea either. Even when the community first suggested it years ago on another game's thread, most people were like "Isn't that just a minigame for a smartphone?"

Q: Gettting the received Http Headers in Angular JS ui-router I am a newbie for Angular.
I am having the following Angular JS(v.1.7) ui-router
.state('helpPage', {
    url: "/help",
    data: {
        roles: []
    },
    views: {
        helpDoc: {
            templateUrl: 'app/modules/help/help.tpl.html',
            controller: 'helpCtrl'
        }
    }
})

When the User hits this page  I want to retrieve the Headers.
Can I get them in the Controller or in the ui-route's resolve method itself ?
Tried HttpInterceptor but it is not helping out.
Any help is much appreciated.

A: Use the headers property of the $http response object:
$http.head(url).then(function(response) {
     var headerGetter = response.headers;
     console.log(headerGetter("headerName"));
});

For more information, see

Q: Overwriting Plugin's Ajax callback function from theme I am facing a problem on ajax callback.
I have an inquiry form which is added from plugin. The form works via ajax where a callback function handles the task of sending mail to admin regarding the inquiry.
I am able to alter the form fields via filter. But couldn't overwrite the callback function.
Is there a way by which I can overwrite that ajax handling callback function (coded in plugin) from theme?
Below is how that callback function is hooked:
add_action('wp_ajax_wte_enquiry_send_mail', array($this, 'wte_enquiry_send_mail') );
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_wte_enquiry_send_mail', array($this, 'wte_enquiry_send_mail') );

Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you!

Q: Email Settings page non-functional when reached via unsubscribe link I unsubscribed from one of the StackOverflow emails (The Overflow), which took me to the Email Settings page with a green "Unsubscribed" notice in that entry.  There's no indication on the page that it is any different from the page reachable from the user profile, but any attempt to change any other settings has no effect.  Even after reloading the page it remains non-functional, and attempting to load a "fresh" copy by clicking "Edit Email Settings" in the left sidebar results in

Navigating to the same "Email Settings" page via my user profile results in a functional version of the same page (changes take effect).
I believe if the Email Settings page is used to confirm the unsubscribe, then it should be functional.  The simplest use case for this is if a user mistakenly clicks on an unsubscribe link.  They should be able to undo that by clicking on the appropriate button on that page, which presently they can't.
Additional Info:
After reading ShadowKeepsSocialDistance's answer and thinking about it I remembered that the non-functional Email Settings page that displayed the "Unsubscribe Successful" message did actually show me as logged in.  So I did some more testing and found that

*

*Going back to the "The Overflow" email and clicking the link "Unsubscribe from emails like this" takes me once again to the non-functional settings page; and, more importantly

*There's an "Edit email settings" link at the bottom of the email that takes me to a FUNCTIONAL settings page.

So I conclude that this is a real bug, and not an artifact of how the unsubscribe opaque token works.
Here are the two [redacted] URLs.  I've inserted spaces to line up the query strings to highlight the differences.  Redaction is indicated by [...] and in both cases the exact same content was redacted in each link.
The first is the non-functional settings page reached from the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email, while the second is the functional page reached from the Edit email settings link
Unsubscribe:   https://stackoverflow.com/users/email/settings/unsubscribe/1024?iterable=1&id=9[...]0&auth=5ed6e72[...]d8d                                       &email=[...]&campaignId=1170965&templateId=1636485
Edit Settings: https://stackoverflow.com/users/email/settings/                ?iterable=1&id=9[...]0&auth=5ed6e72[...]d8d&bucketId=1024&messageId=7fd61b[...]775&email=[...]&campaignId=1170965&templateId=1636485

And finally, the URL of the "Invalid Request" page is identical to the Edit Settings link above with the single exception that the @ in the email query string is URL-encoded as %40 instead of appearing as itself.

A: From what I see, it's because you're not really logged in while following a link, it's rather something I call "token action" personally, not sure if it's official term. The reason is that you make an action that usually requires logging in via pure GET request, so must use some unique and unguessable token to prevent hacking.
Hence, it's not possible to perform any other action since it's not really your account, just a single action.
I agree the UI can be improved e.g. just a message "you unsubscribed successfully", but that's not a bug as far as I can tell.

Coronavirus: Here's what's happening in the sports world on Saturday
The latest on how the coronavirus outbreak is affecting sports around the globe:
Lewis Hamilton goes into self-isolation
Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton says he has been self-isolating for more than a week after meeting people who later tested positive for the new coronavirus.
Hamilton was at a charity event in London on March 4 also attended by actor Idris Elba and Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, the wife of the Canadian prime minister. Both were later found to have the virus.
In a message on social media, Hamilton says he's shown "zero symptoms" but has been isolating himself from other people ever since March 13, when the Australian Grand Prix was called off.
Hamilton said that "I did speak to my doctor and double checked if I needed to take a test but, the truth is there is a limited amount of tests available and there are people who need it more than I do."
USA Swimming pushes for Olympic postponement
USA Swimming's CEO is urging the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee to push for the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics until next year.
Tim Hinchey wrote to USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland to advocate on behalf of his governing body's 400,000 members.
Hinchey said athletes' worlds have been turned "upside down" as they struggle to find ways to continue preparing and training for the games. He wrote that "pressing forward amidst the global health crisis this summer is not the answer."
Because of the disruptions in training, Hinchey said going ahead with the Olympics this year "calls into question the authenticity of a level playing field for all."
U.S. Olympic committee says too soon to decide about Tokyo Games
Leaders of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee say it's still too soon to decide about whether the Tokyo Games should go on as scheduled.
Uncertainties caused by the coronavirus have pushed many athletes to call for a postponement of the Games. But the USOPC leaders sounded a lot like their colleagues at the IOC. They call for patience and say they need more information from world health experts before doing anything drastic. They also acknowledged the uncertainty is taking its toll.
The USOPC is increasing the availability of mental and emotional counselling for athletes who have seen their Olympic hopes thrown into limbo.
XFL ends inaugural season
The XFL has cancelled the remainder of its return season because of the new coronavirus pandemic.
The league played five games of a 10-game regular season in eight cities. It was a revival of the XFL that played one season in 2001.
Commissioner Oliver Luck released a statement saying the league had "no choice but to officially cancel the remainder of the 2020 season. This decision has been made with the health and safety of the entire XFL family as our top priority."
"While we are disappointed to not complete the 2020 season," Luck added, "our hearts are full of appreciation for your overwhelming support."
B.C. rugby 7s tournament postponed
World Rugby has postponed the women's sevens tournament in Langford, B.C., as well as men's events in London and Paris due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Rugby's governing body has also cancelled the World Rugby under-20 Championship, scheduled for late June and July in northern Italy — one of the areas hardest hit by the virus.
The Olympic Games repechage qualification tournament scheduled for June is "under review."
Canada has already qualified its men's and women's teams for the Tokyo Games. The postponements means there are no men's or women's sevens tournaments on the schedule in advance of the Olympics
Canadian Premier League postpones start of 2020 season
The Canadian Premier League has postponed the start of the 2020 season, with no replacement kickoff date as of yet.
The Canadian pro league was set to start its second season on April 11.
The league said it was following Canada Soccer's decision to suspend all sanctioned soccer activities — and COVID-19 directives by governments and health officials banning public gatherings.
Commissioner David Clanachan said the league will start the season when it is declared safe by the relevant health and government agencies, including Canada Soccer.
The CPL put a 14-day on all pre-season training last Friday. Players with expansion Atletico Ottawa, who had been training in Spain at parent club Atletico Madrid, have since returned and are now in self-isolation.

Designed by leading landscape designer Tom Stuart-Smith in 2000, the impressive three-terraced walled garden contrasts the form of topiary with wild, luxuriant herbaceous planting, whilst softly framing a beautiful rural backdrop. The design was conceived entirely in relation to the surrounding landscape, thus supporting superb views to distant natural features and buildings. Hard garden features, such as the walls, gates and garden buildings, were designed by architect Ptolemy Dean and include a notable stepped stone wall on the western side. There are two sizable beech (Fagus sylvatica) tunnels on the eastern side of the garden and three pleached lime (Tilia x europea 'Pallida') squares to the west (one per terrace), which are underplanted with sweet box (Sarcococca confusa). The pleached lime structures frame a formal vista to the south, which incorporates hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) and yew (Taxus baccata) topiary specimens.

The Night She Disappeared had me shaking.
Books about people getting kidnapped stresses me out more than anything.
There were moments in this book were it just got too intense.
I had to put down the book, and calm down.
Tell myself that it's just a book.
Except, it was totally realistic.
Everything that happened in this book, could really happen.
That's the part that freaks me out.
It's not a bunch of zombies eating people alive.
It's about a girl my age, getting kidnapped.
This story was told from five different perspectives. But the one that really put me over the edge was the perspective from the kidnapper. Once I started reading that chapter I literally got the chills.
The way this book affected me was crazy.
I haven't read a book this intense in a while, so I was pretty excited.
What made this book really realistic was that it had Police transcripts, crime scene documents and paragraphs from newspapers.
The only complaint I have about this book is honestly, I just wish it were longer. Even just 50 pages would have made a difference. I felt like the ending was a bit rushed. But it was still great.
Let me just say, prepare yourself for an anxiety attack while reading this book.
Oh man, this sounds amazing! Next time I'm in the mood for a nail-biter, this is the one I'm picking up.
Oh, this sounds chilling, and obviously well done if it affected you so much. Thanks for the review!

The Robo Pet that was datamined reminds me of a Met (from the regular Megaman series) and a Reaverbot (from the Megaman Legends series) combined together in a tiny package.
Soul fragments sounds too similar to monk healing spheres. Booooo! Step your game up, Blizzard.
Where is the worgen bear form model update?
IT'S A MET! FROM MEGA MAN!
That's beautiful. Even more because people complain here instead of sending a suggestion straight to them. C'mon, guys.
u cray cray. Thats a robototic Octoroc if i've ever seen one!
I kinda like new troll bear, but in few places the texture seems to be blurred (like near the paint), and I wish they had normal eyes with irises instead of weird, blurry blind-like eyes.
Ouch. Savage Roar got hit hard. -10% damage and half the up time. The hell blizz? Not like we're camping the top of the charts at the moment.
Alright I might be missing this but have all the class buffs been removed from legion (Stat, Stamina, Spellpower, etc.)?
A whopping one extra person that I can heal with Healing Rain at Rank 3? wew lad.
Well, if it wasn't clear before it is now; Nightborne are drow.
Not "druid love," this is feral love. Moonkin are still waiting on unique models for Worgen and Trolls, and the ability to choose their colour (something Ferals have been able to do for over 5 years) while blizzard is busy remaking the Wrath\/Cata feral forms.


The first poem I read by Imtiaz Dharker was The Right Word. It depicts how we, as a society, are always unsure about those around us, but that we must not jump to conclusions simply based on someone's physical appearance. As soon as I had read it, I understood that she was a poet who brought some of society's greatest flaws into perspective. Due to this poem, and others that I read afterwards, I was very excited to hear that Imtiaz Dharker was coming to Teddies for a poetry reading. I was curious to find out who the voice behind the brilliant poems was and what she was like.
The reading was held in The North Wall, where many students, teachers and members of the public came to watch. When she walked on stage, there was a hush of silence and excitement in the air. She started off by introducing herself and welcoming us all. Straight away, you could tell how passionate she was about the poetry and how much spirit she has. Before each poem, she would proceed by giving a snippet of context, which made the reading more personal and also very moving at some points. My favourite poems were Alan or David or John in which she remembers a mysterious boy who she fell in love with as a teenager, and Screen-saver, as it portrays mobile phones as a carrier for all your loved ones. She has a voice which entrances you and she makes gestures with her hands which really bring the poems to life.
Afterwards, we had the privilege of meeting her during her book signing and she was just as lively and spirited as she had been on stage. Overall, it was a lovely evening and it has inspired me to look out for more of Imtiaz Dharker's poems in the future.

Q: SharePoint Development / Production Environments One of the biggest challenges that I've encountered with SharePoint is that it doesn't lend itself nicely to the typical project environment, which, at minimum, contain development and production environments.  The issues I've run into the most are that content and lists are so tightly coupled that it makes it difficult to perform design changes without performing a content freeze on the production environment.  For example, if I have a list with calculated columns and wanted to add some new functionality, I would have to do a content freeze on the production server, create a list template (including content) from the production server, restore that list to the development environment, make my changes, then reverse the list template process.  The same holds true for pages and just about anything else in SharePoint.  It seems as though once the site is deployed, it's best to work directly on the production box, but that breaks a ton of best practices, for obvious reasons.
How are some of you other SharePoint developers handling this limitation?

A: There are really two (more?) levels to SharePoint "development". You have the code which gets deployed to the server, such as web parts, content types, workflow actions, etc. This works relatively well in terms of deployment and best practices.
Then you have your example, which is more of a customization of site instances. What we've done when we had to customize a calculated field in the Portal's Site Directory list, is to try and tweak the changes in development.  Then write up detailed instructions of the customization to be made, and have a separate person with appropriate permissions use those instructions to make the change on an integration (staging) server. Then have the same person makes the changes live on the production.
I'm not sure if your changes are susceptible to this approach, but it's worth considering.
Then we have another site which is heavily customized with SharePoint designer, and that one we work live on.

A: You can use Content Deployment Wizard (http://www.codeplex.com/SPDeploymentWizard) to migrate things like lists and libraries quickly. You could also take a backup/restore copy of production, then make your changes on that, and then in the early morning hours, do a content freeze (hopefully no one will care then), import all the changed data from production into your copy, and then restore the copy over production. At least the freeze could be put off and would only be necessary for the duration of the export->import->restore procedure.
In practice, I just make my production changes by hand.

A: Use FeatureActivation code to deploy changes to the lists' fields. After the code updates the fields then you deactivate the feature and remove it. This allows results to be tested in a QA environment before hand.

A certified home cleaner will come over and clean your place to give it that extra love & attention that it needs.
It's okay. You can sit back and relax with no guilty conscious . Enjoy your sparkling newly transformed home!
We know inviting someone into your home is a kind of a big deal. All our cleaners are carefully vetted and go through an intensive rigorous process by us so we choose the right person to care of your home. Our mission is to make your life that much easier starting from booking a cleaning all the way up to the end of the service.
Every one of our cleaners use a professional house cleaning checklist to make sure they deliver the same professional results each & every time. We do take your feedback very seriously and every maid can be reviewed & rated at the end of each clean. This allows us to make sure we're only sending out the most highly qualified & loved cleaners.
If you're still not convinced why you should hire a maid service, be sure to check out our post on the key benefits of outsourcing your cleaning tasks.
Why Customers choose our house cleaners?
Are You Ready for the Best Cleaning Service in San Francisco?
House cleaning has been one of the most essential & necessary to-do chores throughout human history. Failure to clean your home usually results in built up clutter, allergens, increased health risk & just an overall messy home or apartment. Good luck bringing over a family or friend over without feeling guilty or judged.
The condition of your home not only speaks volume on the type of person you are to others but it has scientifically been proven to affect your productivity & mental state. You will usually feel anxious, a bit antsy, on your toes or as if something is just not quite right when the clutter starts to build.
We can all agree cleaning your home is a good thing. Actually doing it is a whole different topic.
Sure there are definitely some "cleaning hacks" you can implement into your lifestyle. But to really get down to the nitty & gritty work of scrubbing down toilets, built up dust, vacuum, laundry,etc will actually require time & some patience.
And in a hectic digital day & age we live in, while trying to balance work, family, hobbies, relationships, breakdowns & the curve balls life throws at you…who really has time to clean?
And that is where a cleaning company comes in. A reliable cleaning company will come in and make your life that much easier by taking all of that off your plate so you can focus on your career, friends or what ever it is you want to pursue.
The key word here is "reliable". It is an unbearably hard task to find a reliable cleaning service that will actually come on time, do a fantastic job, hopefully without them stealing or breaking anything & backed up by good customer service in case something does go wrong.
After they are done cleaning & when you check, there is an 85%+ chance you will find multiple spots you will have to re-clean yourself after paying all that money. Or sometimes worse, book another housekeeping service to clean up the mess.
In summary a maid company should make your life easier, not harder but most fail.
Here at Cleaning Glow, we take the extra steps most won't.
We start off with a rigorous vetting process & only 1 in 80 applicants make it on our team.
After that is said & done, we then make sure every cleaner is insured & bonded for your safety incase anything was to be broken or go missing.
Our cleaners will arrive like clockwork & work off a standardized checklist to make sure each service you get is the same, consistent & high quality.
After each cleaning, our maids will do an after walk-through with you to make sure you are satisfied. You can also review & rate each one of your cleaners with the rating emails that we send you.
If you're still unsatisfied, no problem. We have a 100% satisfaction guarantee with a full customer service team dedicated in helping you resolve any problems you may have encountered.
Our aim is to provide an experience that will blow you away with our competitive house cleaning rates & prices & premium level of service.
You can check out our FAQs & booking form if you have any questions about out booking process, average cost of house cleaning, service area, thing we do & don't do, and more.

Nice post from Philip here. Personally I think the physical retail presence and access to HEAVY BOOK BUYERS and BROWSERS via that retail presence is the key to Barnes & Noble's success with the Nook.
It's an odd story in a way but it reinforces the idea that one of the key weapons in the future of the industry is knowing the customer OR having access to them directly. The three winners in the ebook space right now, Apple, Amazon and Barnes & Noble all have either huge databases of customer information or direct access to them in places where they part with their money, we shouldn't miss that when thinking about this today.
Many people wrote off the Nook when it first launched in the US. The name was a bit, well, odd. It had a funny colour strip that didn't serve much use, except to show book jackets. The e-books available weren't cheap enough, when compared to Amazon's overly aggressive pricing. And it had initial shipping problems, a sure-fire technology killer. It was seen as the last gasp of a dying mammal washed ashore by a particularly arch digital wave.
We neglected to look at the two key advantages it had over the Kindle. There was the innovative sharing function, which Amazon has now copied, that gave users a sense of having purchased something tangible—not just a license to read. And of course the ability to read any book for free in one of the chain's 700 shops, making a physical connection to the shops via digital. The latter gave it something Amazon could never have.

Brayden Elliott is pleased to confirm that he has expanded his partnership with Link International, aligning himself with a further brand distributed by the company, Pirelli Tyres. The increased association comes in addition to the use of both RK Chains and Motul via Link International and the use of the products by Brayden during pre-season testing has given him a wealth of confidence as he embarks on the six round ASBK calendar.
Along with the step up to Superbike, Elliott has made numerous developments within his team to prepare for the increased challenge of competing against some of the country's best riders and admits, the chance to be associated with the world renowned Pirelli brand is a significant advancement for his career moving forward.
"2016 has already seen a number of changes for myself and the team and it gives me great excitement to announce my new partnership with Pirelli Tyres. I have been associated with Link International, distributors for Pirelli, over the past few years and to have the opportunity to expand our partnership to also use Pirelli Tyres is something that I am really looking forward too," Elliott said.
In the lead up to ASBK season, starting this weekend at Phillip Island, Brayden has focussed a heavy amount of time on testing the Pirelli tyre on his Suzuki GSX-R 1000 and has been overwhelmingly impressed with the results. The testing has also provided the opportunity to develop race setups for the varying track layouts of the calendar.
"I was very impressed with the wear on the Pirelli Tyre around the abrasive Phillip Island circuit, certainly displaying the efforts they have gone too in research and development. I look forward to using the Pirelli product throughout the 2016 Australian Superbike Championship," Elliott added.
Product Manager for Pirelli Moto at Link International, Don Nicholas is excited about the opportunity to partner with the reigning Australian Supersport Champion as he makes the next step in his motorcycle racing career. Nicholas admits that the new association will again provide good exposure for the Pirelli Moto brand and the chance to further develop the product moving forward.
"With the team switching to the Superbike class in 2016 after Brayden's Supersport Championship win last year, we are very happy that they have chosen to partner with Pirelli this year and race on Diablo Superbike. We look forwarding to working with this focused Privateer team for a successful 2016 ASBK season ahead," Nicholas said.

Finding a treat that your DINOS is willing to work for, especially around distractions, can be tough. The "sure thing" treat that one dog finds rewarding, might get the cold shoulder from the next dog. If your dog isn't interested in any food, you can try other rewards, like toys, touch, or play time. Also keep in mind that when dogs are really stressed, they may not want to eat, no matter how awesome the treat. If that's the case, work on reducing their stress first, so they can relax enough to enjoy a yummy reward!
My fave training treat are Stella and Chewy's Freeze Dried Raw patties (broken into little pieces). I never give my dogs those treats at any other time, so they retain their novelty. That works for me, but I know that every dog is different, so I called on Team DINOS for a list of their favorite high value treats. Update: My dogs are now officially obsessed with Tuna Fudge. Here's the recipe.
Barbara L. Chicken breast – she prefers the prepackaged kind – or string cheese.
Laurelin S. Cheese (string or cream), buffalo liver or sweet potato!
Jo J. Bread and butter; dismembered natural gummy bears; bonito flakes.
Paula K. My dogs' favorites have turned out to be thinly sliced hotdogs microwaved until they are curly and crispy! And for dogs not motivated by food: I had a dog in one of my classes who was not food motivated, so I asked the dog's owner what was the dog gaga for at home and he answered "the feather duster". I said, bring it in, and the dog worked for the chance to maul that duster ( it was pink, and the owner was a former Marine)!
True Dog Tricky Trainers Salmon Flavor Cloud Star Treats, Buddy Biscuits Lamb flavor Treats, Bil-Jac Liver flavor, wet dog or cat food in a small dish, couple licks as a reward.
Marie N. Freeze dried chicken. It's like crack to her.
Alexis B. Red Barn! And the number-one-trumps-everything-on-this-earth thing is carnivore diet from the zoo – my husband works at the zoo and sometimes brings this home, it is mostly raw horse meat which is apparently more delicious than anything else on earth.
Pia R. Freeze Dried Chicken!
Karen C. Any food. Especially roast chicken, string cheese, bacon.
Julia K. Lane Liver Brownies from the Liver Lady in Woodstock, IL!
Judy M. Diced Natural Balance food logs!
Star F. Natural Balance food rolls are always a big hit.
Deb M. Try a fox tail tied to a 2- 2 1/2 ft length of clothesline. Stick it in your back pocket and haul out for a quick rewarding game of tug. Training your dog to be both food and toy motivated is the best!
Noelle B. For Brewster, if anything is going to get his attention, hot dogs will. But not even that works with a really intense distraction. Other things that work most, but not all the time, are chicken, cheese, and Zuke's Mini Naturals.
Marge R. I hate to say it (and I blame my friend Eileen) – sausage, egg and cheese biscuit. What can I say? He gets to choose what is most reinforcing.
Bev R. Anything that squeaks for my girl. Anything they can tug on for both, especially anything that resembles a flirt pole type thing, tug toys, Orbee ball, but food…nothing..they just are not food motivated.
Sheri-Lyn P. Chicken every time!
Sadie B. Some dogs are reluctant to eat when there are distractions or they are stressed. In these situations I would work with very high value food (cheese, etc), toys or even environmental rewards (although that is more difficult to employ practically). My girl finds it aversive to have to stop and eat a treat when belting round an agility course, so a retrieve or game of tug is our reward of choice then the fun doesn't have to stop!
Laurie W. Canine Carry Outs! Easy to find and inexpensive.
Johnny H. The Disc (frisbee) is my dogs highest value distraction. I don't have them lying around the house, so he never gets them to play with. At 5pm every day, he knows it's time for him to go to work. I don't even need the disc now to use it as a distraction trigger. There is nothing that can redirect his brain over the disc – not a dog or dog altercation, motorbike, squeek toy – nothing brings him out of disc mode until I say "mine now" and put it away.
Elisabet N. Freeze dried beef liver, and cat food.
Juli T. Walking – Casey is so uninterested in food that when we are anywhere more interesting than our living room, not even nice smelly pepperoni or peanut butter will get her attention. Moving – preferably at a fast pace – is her reward.
Kristen B. Toby is all about cut up Natural Balance rolls. He chooses them over one of his typical favorite treats of peanut butter.
Rebecca C. Squeaky tennis ball for one dog. Target\Archer Farms chicken, spinach sausage does wonders for my other dog.
Dawn F. Cut up hot dogs and string cheese!
Jennifer B. Shady Brook cooked turkey meatballs..doggy crack!
Jenifer R. My dog who used to be HIGHLY leash reactive would turn himself inside out for Gorgonzola if he could!
Linda E. My three porties will eat anything put in front of them! They like Natural Balance in the tubes and it's relatively easy to use. Their favorite is the one I make from scratch and is super simple: Put the six ingredients (2 cups spelt flour, 1-2 cups Quick Oats or Regular Oatmeal, 1/2 tsp salt (optional), 1tsp baking POWDER, 1 can sardines & 1-3 Tbsp Asian Fish Sauce (optional)+ a little olive oil) into the food processor, grind/ pulse, spread 1/4 to 1/2″ on a cookie sheet, heavily oiled with olive oil & bake. Slow bake @ 300 degrees for 30-40 minutes. I use a pizza cutter to score the treats to size, flip them over & bake for another 30-40 minutes until crisp. Much healthier and less costly! I do the sardines first, with some olive oil to make a paste, then add the dry ingredients. I'm a huge user of go tubes filled with premium duck or rabbit canned dog food. Very easy to use, carry and doggies just lick it up! These have worked the best for me in the dog to dog aggression area!
Brooke P. Definitely cheese. Cookies also keep my Pom occupied with chewing, rather than reacting while we're passing tough triggers. He's a very slow chewer, so it works out. By the time he finishes his cookie, the trigger is long gone.
Ann W. Peanut Butter. I fill one of the little Tupperware midgies, put the lid on, and when I need to get past some other dogs on the trail, I pull the lid off and let my dog lick at it until we're past.
Ashley C. Deli rare roast beef and/or a squeeze tube of liver paste.
Rebecca A. I'm lucky my reactive guy is both toy and food motivated. He goes absolutely nuts for any toy with a squeaker, so I have a small Wubba Kong that we can tug on past any distraction. But if I need a calmer response (so as not to trigger another dog with his energy while tugging) — it is banana chips, believe it or not!
Ann W. Livercake with garlic.
Marion B. I make my own liver and bacon brownies. Yuck!! But I can get back flips for them. Boiled liver strips work not bad either!
Laurie M. Baby food meat, dehydrated mini hamburger pieces, roasted and frozen beef roast or chicken breast.
Virginia J. I know it's not right, but cat treats are the only thing she is wild for.
K9Capers dog day center Blueberries and celery!
Suzanne K. Diced cooked chicken breast for reactive class, Merrick lamb filet treats for our daily walks at the park.
Cheryl C. Steak – when we are going to a new event/new place I grill up steak the night before.
Jen R. Boiled and diced beef heart does it every time for mine.
Lisa V. I know sometimes we have to go to extremes to find what our DINOS will work for. In one of our reactive dog classes the only thing their dog would work for was butter! Yikes! My girl LOVES Trader Joe's turkey meatballs and her tiny squeaky soccer ball. She will do ANYTHING for that soccer ball!
Jennie M. My pup has had a hard time concentrating in class lately, but today she worked for biscuits. People biscuits with butter that is…put on when they are hot, so it is all melted in! I baked them this morning. As long as it works, I will bake! Hot dogs and cheese work well also.
Laura P. If she's really distracted (or scared) it has to be something she needs to lick. Liverwurst or canned food in a squeeze tube, Cheese or Kong liver squeeze cans, meat-based baby food licked right out of the jar.
Elana B. Diced chicken gizzards. I nuke the package for about 10 minutes and then dice them into training treat size. Way cheaper than anything from PetSmart or PetCo and not made in China!
Nic F. Any type of food. He licks the wall after he eats, just in case something flung up there while he was eating (he is on raw food, so can be a bit messy)!
Jenifer R. Cheese! Any kind but the stinkier the better.
Katie G. Dehydrated beef lung!
Helen W. Bozi Dinos will ignore every scary thing if he is busy playing tug or squeaky hedgehog games with me (on lead) just to be sure. He also loves roast chicken, steak and bacon.
Nancy B. Boiled chicken cut up into small pieces is the highest value treat. Hot dogs second.
I hope that gives all of you some new ideas to try! If you have favorites that weren't mentioned here, let me know on Facebook!

This preconference brought together a critical mass of emerging and senior scholars to discuss, reflect, and challenge each other on our interventions into the visual. In this way, the preconference was also an intervention into scholarly careers in the still-growing field of visual communication studies.
This one-day preconference brought together young scholars (current Ph.D. students and early career postdoctoral researchers) engaged in promising research on visual communication. We aimed to 1) theorize key challenges in visual communication research and publication; 2) provide strategies for addressing and overcoming these challenges; 3) provide a forum for cross-divisional and transnational networking between young and senior scholars; and 4) provide feedback on young scholars' research projects and publication plans.
This event followed two very successful ICA Young Scholars Visual Communication Studies preconferences in San Juan 2015 and Fukuoka 2016, which featured presentation and workshop sessions with young and senior scholars from ten countries. This preconference followed a similar format but focused on a new, complementary set of issues and questions.
First, an opening keynote by Larry Gross gave an overview of key interventions into visual communication research happening now and those needed to advance the discipline.
Second, in poster, non-traditional, and brief oral presentation sessions, young scholars had the opportunity to present their research projects, discuss their challenges in conceptualizing and communicating their projects with other participants, network with peers, and receive substantial feedback on their projects from experienced senior scholars. All young and senior scholars participated in the presentation sessions, a format that provided a practice-oriented overview of a range of approaches to visual communication studies and common challenges.
Third, young scholars and senior experts split into smaller breakout groups for focused discussions on a specific aspect of visual communication studies research.
Finally, in a closing plenary, we summarized key insights originating from discussions in the breakout groups and, together with all participants, we discussed ideas and plans for future networking and research events.

Lucky Dog Accompanies Master in the Battle of the Crater
Lucky is a relative concept, but this dog apparently made it out alive. Its story will be added to the Kittens, Puppies and Ponies page:
...We gather in a little band of thirty or forty around our colonel. What is next to be done? Over yonder near the old barn they are getting a new battery into position to enfilade us. It is a part of Lee's forces that have just got back from the right. Comrades Billy Gates, Bob Hamilton, and myself, form ourselves into sharp-shooters, and try to pick off the gunners. Bob's little yellow dog has come into the fight with him, and is jumping around, yelling and barking, as if fully alive to the importance of the situation. Suddenly a yip and a yell tells us the dog is hit. Bob drops his rifle, grabs and hurriedly examines the dog. A ball has skipped across his back and burnt off the hair, that is all (pp. 288-289).

Fort Davis isn't really elusive- it's big and it still exists- but until now there was only one photograph of it identified. It is beautifully captured in the background of LC 02607 and LC 02608.

You all know how much I love brides, and on this last trip to Venice, I watched a particularly gorgeous wedding party having their photos taken in Piazza San Marco. They were happily chatting in both English and Japanese. The mother of the bride's kimono was absolutely gorgeous. And look how delighted they all seem to be!
What a small world we live in... a Japanese wedding in Venice in three languages... I wish them every happiness -- wherever they may be!
Thanks for joining me for DeliciousBaby's Photo Friday!
How nice to see smiles in the wedding party faces - I saw several brides and wedding parties in Japan and they were so formal, and wouldn't smile!
thanks for visiting my blog, what a lovely post!

The Dallas Cowboys next three-headed monster: Smash, Dash, and Jet?
The addition of Darius Anderson would give the Cowboys a very scary running game.
By Terence Watson@Watson703 May 7, 2020, 12:00pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: The Dallas Cowboys next three-headed monster: Smash, Dash, and Jet?
Andrew Dieb-USA TODAY Sports
Back in 2008, the Dallas Cowboys added Felix Jones and Tashard Choice to go along with Marion Barber to create a three-headed monster called "Smash, Dash, and Tash". Barber brought the power, Jones brought the speed, and Choice brought a little of both. The three would go on to give the Cowboys a boost in the running game, and while the overall effectiveness can be debated, it was enough to make teams start respecting the Dallas running game again.
Fast-forward to today and you'll see the Cowboys under Mike McCarthy are looking to add to their running back group. Ezekiel Elliott has been carrying the load of the team ever since he was drafted, then last season the Cowboys were able to draft Tony Pollard to spell Elliott. Pollard added speed and a pass-catching threat out of the backfield, but a new coaching regime will always want to bring in players they like at all positions. So when the Cowboys signed Darius Anderson as an undrafted free agent, many people got excited and for good reason. Many thought that Anderson would have been drafted after an impressive season and a strong showing at the Senior Bowl.
If you look at Anderson's game, he's a mixture of both Elliott's ability to get north and south quickly with power, but also Pollard's elusiveness and pass-catching out of the backfield and taking it all the way. That mix is what is going to help him possibly make this team, but also give him a role on offense.
Smash - Ezekiel Elliott
Dash - Tony Pollard

Jet - Darius Anderson
Which brings me back to Smash, Dash, and Tash, maybe the Cowboys are finally looking to roll out another three-headed monster to wear down defenses. If they are, then these three running backs are perfect and could give defensive coordinators nightmares. And I have to admit Smash, Dash, and Jet has a nice ring to it.

Memoirs of William Sampson: Including Particulars of His Adventures in ...
Af William Sampson
or go
glish minister, to whose authority alone I could look in a foreign country: and that, not granted but upon full knowledge of my case, and of the exigency of the moment. That at all events, what I wanted was not a favor very difficult to grant, namely, to conduct my family to a place of safety and repose, , until I should go and seek out for a new home and a new country. His lordship answered, that Mr. Thornton had no right to grant me a passport, but admitted, " that the confusion they were in, in Hamburg, might be some excuse for my coming over. He said something sharply that he knew all my conduct, and all I had spoken and written, and that he could not dispense with the law. I must go
back wherever I chose, but that he could not let me stay a moment longer there; and he did not care where I went.
I began now to be satisfied, that nothing was to be gained, and I only thought of getting through a disagreeable business as well as I could, and as speedily: and I observed, that as I found it was useless to say any more, it rested now with him.
You talked of going to America, said his lordship. I answered, that I had ; particularly when I found so much difficulty in getting leave to go home, as to persuade me that I should have neither pleasure nor security in remaining there. And as there were few countries in Europe, not now at war with England, and such as were not, uninhabitable for me, I had no other choice. I might have sometimes flattered myself, that time and circumstances had altered the state
of things in Ireland, but from what fell from his lordship, I feared it was not so. You shall go then, said he, to America ; and I made no objection, other than to insist a little upon the hardship of being forced from my family so suddenly, unprepared.
The under-secretary then reminded him, that I should not be allowed to go without a messenger ; and he said he could not let me have the liberty of going about, unless I had some one that would answer for me. I replied, that I had been now so long abroad, that I did not know who to call upon on the instant; that London had never been my residence since the time of my studies, which was many years ago ; that I supposed it might be necessary to find a person at once a friend to me, and known to his lordship ; that I doubted not, in a short time, were I at liberty, to be able to offer the very best sureties; but that if I was a prisoner of state, terror might hinder my friends from coming near me. I however mentioned, that his lordship's colleague in the ministry, and in council, the earl of Moira, knew me; that Mr. Geo. Ponsonby (now Lord Ponsonby) knew me, and that Mr. Grattan knew me.
Lord Moira, says his lordship, is out of town; Lord Ponsonby is chancellor in Ireland. Will Mr. Grattan answer for you ?—The suggestions of the imagination, are very prompt ; and the manner in which Lord Spencer asked this question, inclined me to believe, that he already knew what Mr. Grattan would do, but wished to hear what I would say, I said, without the least hesitation, that I could not answer for Mr. Grattan, nor for any man, after such a lapse of time, and surrounded as I was by the terrors of an angry government; that there was no obligation certainly on Mr. Grattan, to answer for me, and his opinions might be changed even without any fault of mine ; for the absent are always in the wrong : but that if I was at liberty, I should ask him.
Lord Spencer then said, he must commit me. I begged of him, that whatever sentiments he might entertain towards me, he would consider the feelings of a wife, whose virtues and whose sufferings deserved respect; and that whatever was to take place, might pass in a way least shocking to her. And feeling how soon another pang was to be added to those she had already suffered-how much her heart was set upon the hope of having me once more at home with her; and the cruel disappointment she was to suffer— I spoke these last words with emotion. In this his lordship however did not very graciously partake, but said in a peevish tone, that "that was all very fine," and then went behind his table to write my committal. I remember another of his answers was, that " he was not going to argue law with me."
The under-secretary now observed to me, that I was irritating his lordship, and conducted me out towards the messenger's room. My fellow-traveller, Sparrow, was much dejected at seeing the course this affair had taken. I sent in a request, that I might be rather committed to his care, than to any other of
the messengers, as my wife, from her acquaintance with him, would be less alarmed. This was perhaps before intended, and I returned with him a prisoner to his house. He sent two of his daughters, in a very delicate manner, to invite Mrs. Sampson to pay
her bill at the hotel, and to come and join me. She readily understood the hint, and we were now once more prison-companions, which had not happen. ed for eight or nine years before. However, it might be said, that in that time, our fortune was mended for instead of that execrable bridewell, where we were in the year 1798, we were now in a genteel, well-furnished apartment ; and Mrs. Sparrow, like a good hostess, with a fine family of children, vying with each other which should do us the most kindness. If the French proverb, "Il n'y a point de belles prisons, ni de laides amours," was not too strictly true, this might be called a pretty prison.
Mr. Sparrow, in doing the honors of it, mentioned, that his last guest had been Governor Picton, who was then out on bail, and has continued to get free of all charges by means which I have not learned.
Strange coincidence of circumstances—there is a moral in every thing. Here was a man who was convicted by an English jury, of the wanton, torture of a young female, in a manner too shocking to be repeated; enjoying his liberty, and his ease, and laughing at justice. A man who, if we can believe Col. Fullerton, was charged with nine and twenty deliberate murders: who had disgraced the English name, by first introducing the crime of torture into a Span
ish colony, where torture never had been known. He was protected, if not indemnified, whilst I, whose crime was to have rebelled against torture, was shut up, doomed to perpetual exile, torn from my family, betrayed, surrounded with terror, and over-whelmed with obloquy !!!
It was signified to me, that I must set off for Falmouth the following morning. I must bid perhaps an eternal adieu to those by whom my heart was chiefly linked, to a miserable world. I wanted time I wanted preparation of every kind. I entreated just so much time as might serve to have an interview with one or two unsuspected friends. I asked merely to wait until my wife's brother, who was hastening over, might arrive, and receive her from my hands. As he was also our agent, I had strong reasons of interest for desiring to see him, and I asked for nothing more ; and then was ready to depart for ever.
All this was refused : and so great was the hurry to send me out of London, that after spending five days on the road, I had near a fortnight to remain at Falmouth before the regular sailing of the packet. I wrote about this time to Mr. Fox, as follows :
The Right Honorable Charles James Fox, &c. &c.

I've been developing some techniques and glazes to create these little gems. They are created using a small batch production technique called slip casting. The original shape was created by me by throwing a piece of clay on my potter's wheel. I then made a plaster mould from which to create similar forms. Once the mould was made, I use casting slip to cast the form. The viscosity of the slip is controlled in different ways to create the random mark making, which incidentally is inspired by raindrops on windows. Glazes range from satin pewter, to high gloss with a hint of the metalic. Mostly shades of grey to black, some are also midnight blue. The final touch is to add either some Platinum Lustre, or 22 carat Gold Lustre which is then fired to over 600 degrees centigrade to permanently fuse with the piece.
They are ideal to lovingly care for your rings at the same time as having them visually present in your life, even when you are not actually wearing them.
For those of us who like little groups of things that we can arrange, re-arrange and generally fiddle with, these are perfect! At just £10 each they are a great gift on their own, or in sets of three for that little group I mentioned earlier.
They measure between 8 and 10cm in height, and each have their own personality. Until my e-commerce facility is functioning, email me for details of payment if you want to purchase.

UFC Should Strip Jose Aldo Of Featherweight Title: Top Contender Conor McGregor
By Vincent Paul Hidalgo
Jose Aldo has been held out of UFC 189 because of a rib injury. Reuters/Joe Camporeale/USA Today/Sports
It is official. The Ultimate Fighting Championships' "Fight of the Year" between featherweight champion Jose Aldo and top contender Conor McGregor is off the table -- mainly due to Aldo's rib injury. The development prompted the challenger to disparage the champion.
McGregor said UFC should strip Aldo of the featherweight belt and instead put it on the line for McGregor's July 11 bout against Chad Mendes in Las Vegas.
"He's pulled out of contests time and time again," McGregor said about Aldo. "I mean, the medical reports state he is fit to fight, so there's no more questions. If you're fit to fight and you're not going to fight, the belt rightfully should be stripped, and this (should be) for the regular featherweight belt."
Aldo's withdrawal puts to a halt a week's back and forth on whether the 28-year-old champion will be given the green light to hold his ninth consecutive title defense. While it was earlier reported that his rib was not fractured, the injury was extensive enough to prevent the champion from pushing ahead with the fight. Nevertheless, the UFC has placed an interim featherweight title on the line that can be contested by Mendes and McGregor.
If McGregor continues his ascent in the Octagon, it would set up a dramatic unification title bout between McGregor and Aldo at the end of the year or during the first quarter of 2016. Should Mendes pull off an upset on July 11 at the MGM Grand, McGregor would still have plenty of chances to bounce back -- including a UFC Fight Night in Dublin, Ireland, his hometown.
The UFC already announced that it will hold the Oct. 24 event at 3Arena in Dublin. Nevertheless, McGregor has already made his pitch to be included on the card, stating that, "you don't have a show in my hometown and not have me on it."

I'll be bringing several games for trade and sale, and will be bringing some games home. Flying Southwest so additional bags are no issue. I'm thinking using some hard shell luggage I have to help with weight on top or under my bags, but wondering how I should pack the interior.
Anybody with any experience traveling with games on a plane?
Step 2: Put all games in a garbage bag stacked/arrayed nicely.
Step 5: Place games on the bed.
Step 6: Add a blanket over the top. By this I mean sweat pants, sweater, hoodie, or if you have to t-shirts.
Step 7: Add bumpers around the sides - Rolled up T-shirts are great for this.
Step 8: Build it up. Add stuff on top until you are touching to top of the suitecase. Not enough to crush, but keep some pressure on the games to prevent them moving.
This will prevent the games from scratching each other up, things outside the games from scratching them, prevent it being damaged when thrown around in luggage.
Step 1 and 2 can be replaced with the following if needed: Step 1 is t-shirt, Step 2 is hoodie/sweatshirt. If you do this, skip step 6.
