Will Herman Cain endorse New World Order Candidate: CFR-member Newt Gingrich ?
Posted by lefemine on December 5, 2011 No comments
Will Herman Cain endorse New World Order Candidate:
CFR-member Newt Gingrich ?
Subject: Letter to the Editor December 3, 2011
Today Herman Cain ended ("suspended") his campaign. Whether the Cain for President campaign was
in reality, truly a genuine campaign effort to actually elect Herman Cain to the White House, or whether it was an orchestrated fraud, designed and pre-planned to implode, and then handoff an endorsement / supporters / votes to NWO Establishment Pick # 1 for 2012: CFR-member, 33rdDegree Mason, Newt "NAFTA / WTO / MFN for China / Selected-Amnesty-for-Illegals" Gingrich, will take time, and more facts and analysis to try to discern. Or is there some other reason why a conservative black, formerly at the top of the field, was forced to withdraw ?
Cain is reportedly going to make an endorsement of another candidate in the near future. Will former Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank chairman Herman Cain endorse NWO Candidate, CFR-member Newt Gingrich ?
With all the media coverage of the Republican Presidential candidates, how often is the current membership of Newt Gingrich in one of the foremost organizations involved in destroying the sovereignty of America, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), ever even reported ? The current CFR membership of "Newton L. Gingrich" can be verified on the CFR's own Membership Roster (as of December 02, 2011), on the CFR's website: www.cfr.org/about/membership/roster.html
The recent past CFR membership of Newt Gingrich can be verified on CFR Membership lists for 2006, 2008, and 2009 posted at: www.stopthenorthamericanunion.com/DidYouKnow.html
In fact, Newt Gingrich is documented as a CFR member on the June 30, 1991 CFR Membership Roster
printed in the book, "The Insiders, Architects of the New World Order", By John F. McManus, 1992.
Finally, Newt Gingrich is reported to have been a CFR member since 1990, in the book "Circle of Intrigue – The Hidden Inner Circle of the Global Illuminati Conspiracy", by Texe Marrs, 1995, page 158.
While some uninformed individuals may reject the characterization of the CFR as an active advocate,
proponent, and vehicle for advancing the goal of a one-world, socialist/marxist tyrannical government, ie..,
the New World Order (NWO), this information has nevertheless been available for decades. For example,
an article on the CFR in the May 15, 1995 issue of The New American includes these excerpts: 1) �Formed
in 1921 by Edward Mandell House, President Woodrow Wilson's right-hand man, the CFR's purpose has been undeniably clear from the start: to submerge our nation into a socialist, one-world government." And, 2) "Never forget that the CFR was formed to bring about socialism and world government. Its increasing domination over America's affairs amounts to a conspiracy the grip of which must be broken by an informed and alarmed American citizenry.If CFR influence over our federal government isn't soon broken, America will be reduced to a mere province in a socialistic world government where freedom has disappeared and national sovereignty is but a dim memory. And James Madison's worst fear — tyranny reigning in this land — will become a reality. The time to expose the CFR and its grip on this land is now." [ emphasis added ]
Full article available at: www.christianlifeandliberty.net/CFR-TNAart.doc
The necessary exposure of Newt Gingrich as a long-term, 20-year+ member of the NWO Establishment's
CFR is just the "tip of the iceberg" in characterizing Gingrich's deep and wide credentials as a Globalist. More should be reported about: 1) Gingrich's 1993 vote and influential advocacy as a Republican leader in the U.S. House for sovereignty-stealing, American-jobs-stealing, American-manufacturing-destroying NAFTA legislation, and his continued support for NAFTA; and 2) Gingrich�s 1994 vote for the creation of the WTO and American membership; and 3) Gingrich's 1998 vote for Most Favored Nation status for Communist China; and 4) Gingrich's present support for selected amnesty for illegals — further eroding America's national security and sovereignty.
Hopefully, in the month ahead before the Jan. 3 Iowa Caucuses, and continuing through the New Hampshire Jan. 10 Primary, and the South Carolina Jan. 21 Primary, and beyond, many media sources will present these facts and more about the documented record of CFR-member Newt Gingrich. May God help Republican voters not to err in 2012 as Republican voters erred in 2008, when they selected CFR-member John McCain. May Republican voters be wary of any and all "leaders" in the Republican Party who advocate, praise, and promote CFR-member Newt Gingrich — this is false leadership, and it leads to destruction (Isaiah 3:12, Isaiah 9:16, KJV).

Newt Gingrich: Free-trade Kool-Aid drinker
Exclusive: Ian Fletcher blasts candidate for supporting every major wrong move on trade
Posted: November 25, 2011 [ excerpt, emphasis added ]
During this earlier career, Gingrich racked up a record of supporting every major wrong move on trade issues the United States has made in recent decades. To wit:
* In 1993, he supported the North American Free Trade Agreement. (Which wasn't even enough, according to him. He wanted to eventually add Chile to the deal with the aim of eventually expanding it to cover the entire New World.)
* In 1994, he voted for creation of the World Trade Organization and American membership.
* In 1998, he supported Most Favored Nation (now known as Permanent Normal Trade Relations) status with China.

THE LONG-TERM FRUIT OF NEWT GINGRICH IS THAT HE IS A GLOBALIST SERVANT OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER:
A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit
Mathhew, Chapter 7:15-20, KJV
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Believe it or not, choosing the right furnace size for your home is extremely important, a decision that should a consultation with the Aspen Creek Heating and Air HVAC experts. This particular step has the potential to save a lot of time and money in the long run by ensuring that your home's heating system will function optimally. Take the time to research and talk it over with us – we're here to help.
So, let's look at the facts when it comes to choosing the right furnace size for your home.
Efficiency is the absolute bottom line consideration. If the furnace unit is too large, it will waste energy warming up and cooling down, and large ductwork will also be an added cost. But if the furnace system is too small, you could be stuck looking for extra blankets to keep warm because there just isn't enough power being put out to warm up your large space. Also, you'll need to consider the area where you live. Here in Denver and Boulder areas the winters can be extreme, with below freezing temperatures overnight. Because of this, you may need a furnace that can provide added technologies.
Also, take into consideration the construction of your home. If you have an open concept type of home versus a lot of closed rooms within the home, this will make a difference on how to heat it correctly. Also, the constructions materials used make a huge difference. For example, brick houses are naturally more insulated than a home with wood siding, and even your landscaping and the way in which your home faces makes a difference in the calculations for a new furnace.
Heating units are measured in BTUs (British Thermal Unit). They are the amount of heat required to raise 1 pound of water 1 degree F. The input capacity refers to the volume of gas burned, but without taking into consideration the heat that is lost through the flue. Output capacity refers to the total usable heat generated. These are the most important aspects to consider when choosing your furnace.
A qualified heating contractor will do an energy-loss calculation of your home, including house size, window area, insulation levels and more. In general, sizes range from 40,000 to 100,000 BTU input capacities for each model. You cannot just buy a furnace based on your square footage, or the same size replacement in high efficiency. You must first match the input and output capacities according to the calculations in order to get the right size. If you are curious, you can find a basic chart online to give you an idea of what size to look for, but it is wise to stick with a qualified professional to walk you through the process.
Choosing the right furnace size for your family home is certainly something to take into consideration. Aspen Creek Heating and Air has the qualified technicians and certifications to help you every step of the way, from consultations to installation and scheduled service maintenance. We are always here to help, whether you are looking for a replacement, upgrade, or service. Give us a call today.

Bobby Warshaw discusses his life and career in 'When the Dream Became Reality'
Warshaw transitions from soccer player to author
By Chris Bratton@C_Brat Jul 28, 2017, 9:57am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Bobby Warshaw discusses his life and career in 'When the Dream Became Reality'
Bobby Warshaw
A 2011 MLS SuperDraft first round pick, Bobby Warshaw started his soccer career in a round patch of grass in his driveway. Starting off at the age of eight, Warshaw would spend the next 15 years dreaming about a career in professional soccer. Hard work took him from his driveway to the United States U17 team, followed up by four years of soccer at Stanford. After landing in MLS at FC Dallas, Warshaw's professional soccer career would ultimately stretch for six seasons across three countries. After wrapping things up last season with the Harrisburg City Islanders, Warshaw chose to share his experiences with the honest and informative When the Dream Became Reality.
When it comes to his soccer experience, Warshaw breaks things down geographically. The book is neatly split into six sections based on where Warshaw was playing soccer at the time. This allows the reader to easily follow his growth as a player, and also his emotional growth as he learns more about what it takes to be both a soccer player and a good teammate.
The first section, set in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, follows a young man who is absolutely dedicated to improving his soccer skills. As Warshaw relays to us, he even went so far as to wake his friends up early after a middle school sleepover so they could all walk over to the soccer field and squeeze in a quick training session. They were sure he wasn't serious. He was.
Intensity like this is a common thread through Warshaw's high school and college years. He seemed to have had the natural energy and drive for perfection that cannot be taught. There's superstar athletes today who can clearly be seen at times coasting by on their natural abilities, knowing that they don't really need to put in their full effort to succeed. Warshaw was more of the type to stick around after practice had finished, working extra drills until he was completing them to his satisfaction.
Warshaw's work ethic and his driven nature is what got him to the the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. The range of talented players was remarkable, including MLS mainstays like Darlington Nagbe, Will Bruin, and CJ Sapong. All the hard work that led to him getting selected by FC Dallas with the 17th overall pick was about chasing the dream. Once the cameras turned back away and people went back to their jobs, that's when he had to face the reality.
Warshaw's intensity captured in a photograph
The dream is to hear your name called in the first round of the draft. The reality is that after the media team spend 20 minutes making you feel like the center of the universe, they're going to walk away to prepare for the next kid that's coming down the line.
About three fourths of the book is dedicated to Bobby Warshaw's six seasons in professional soccer, stretching from MLS to USL with a few stops at the Swedish Superettan and Norwegian First Division in between. Warshaw has a remarkable memory for the key moments at the various clubs, although he never gets too bogged down in the details of any particular matches. It helps keep the action moving at a brisk pace while making sure the reader, who probably wasn't watching any Angelholms FF matches in 2013, still has all of the essential details.
What truly begins to stand out as Warshaw goes over the details of his playing time is just how much of a soccer player's career is impacted by circumstances that are completely beyond a player's control. Warshaw's natural position was to be a central defensive midfielder, but when he was at Dallas he could usually only find time as a substitute at that position. Compare that to defender Matt Hedges who joined Dallas in 2012. He was able to find playing time early on due to other players going down due to injury, which allowed him to work through his rookie nervousness and develop into MLS Defender of the Year by 2016.
For Philadelphia Union fans, it's reminiscent of the situation with former goalkeeper Zac MacMath. He put in his time to develop with the Union only to see the team select Andre Blake first overall and then sign Rais M'Bolhi on top of that. Fortunately for him he had the opportunity to move to the Colorado Rapids. But then as soon as he settled in as the starter there, Colorado signed Tim Howard. Poor guy can't catch a break.
Warshaw asks a lot of hard questions about how a player is expected to conduct himself, but he provides few answers. But that's only because his career repeatedly demonstrated that there are no truly right answers to the uncertainties facing a professional soccer player. He stands up for himself when he thought he was being misused and overlooked in Dallas, and he was told to look for another team to play for as a result. So when he's asked to play out of position (as a striker of all things) for GAIS in Sweden, he tries to do what's best for the team rather that make waves. Ultimately this approach isn't successful either.
Warshaw spent almost 15 years of his life working toward his goal of playing professional soccer. It's understandably frustrating to put that much effort into a career that can easily be undone by circumstances beyond a person's control. Over the course of his six years as a professional, it seems like Warshaw ran into every potential problem he could face. There were uncooperative coaches, bad locker rooms, and selfish players just to name a few.
But Warshaw is not bitter or regretful about how things went down. The events are relayed in an honest, matter-of-fact way that helps the reader understand Warshaw's perspective. He's not some massive soccer star with all of the answers, he's just another twenty-something who's trying to make the best choices for his chosen career.
Warshaw played as far away as Sweden and Tatooine.
Throughout the book, Warshaw saves the biggest criticisms for himself. He's a 28-year-old who has chosen to evaluate the actions of his younger self, which isn't a fun job for anybody. Warshaw has taken it to the next level by publishing his evaluation in book form. His combination of excellent memory and incredible work ethic means that there's times where Warshaw remembers a specific practice that he didn't give his full effort and he beats himself up over it. The man is dedicated.
While Warshaw's playing days may be over, his work with this book shows that he has a bright future with his writing. He was penning articles for Deadspin and Penn Live while he was still playing, so it was obvious that he had some talent. That experience is probably what helped give Warshaw the skill to bring his story out in such an engrossing way. You don't need to be intimately familiar with Warshaw's career to get something out of When the Dream Became Reality. Fans and players alike would be able to find plenty to enjoy in Warshaw's first book. After reading it, I wouldn't mind if he decided to go for a second in the future.
The book is on sale now at Amazon (digital and paperback), iBooks, and Nook. Whenthedreambecamereality.com

McAdam Park first in Palmdale to be irrigated with recycled water
by The AV Times Staff • March 5, 2013
Turning on the water, from left, PWD Director Kathy MacLaren, Sanitation District Chief Engineer and General Manager Grace Chan, Palmdale Mayor Pro Tem Tom Lackey, Palmdale Mayor Jim Ledford, and PWD Board President Gordon Dexter
PALMDALE – The Palmdale Recycled Water Authority (PRWA) celebrated the first use of its tertiary treated water with a symbolic "turning on the valves" ceremony at a press conference Tuesday held at McAdam Park in Palmdale.
McAdam Park is the first park in Palmdale to be irrigated with reclaimed water.
The recycled water, which was treated at the Sanitation District 20 plant in Palmdale, was symbolically turned on by Palmdale Mayor Jim Ledford, Palmdale Mayor Pro Tem Tom Lackey, Palmdale Water District (PWD) Board President Gordon Dexter and Director Kathy MacLaren and Sanitation District Chief Engineer and General Manager Grace Chan.
"Today, the first use this recycled water is being used to irrigate McAdam Park, freeing up about 20 million gallons of drinkable water each year," said Ledford. "When the system is complete within the city, it will save over 700 million gallons of potable water a year. This is a great example of collaboration and cooperation – something that our community can be very proud of."
"This project frees up potable water for future business and home development," said Mayor Pro Tem Tom Lackey. "When this water is fully integrated, it will help us irrigate our nearly $500 million dollar investment in our beautiful parks."
Palmdale Public Works Director Mike Mischel thanked the Palmdale City Council and PWD board of directors for their vision, and staff members from both agencies for making the project a reality.
"We spent about $2.2 million to date on the project," said Mischel. "Our future plans for the recycled water pipeline include taking it down Avenue R to Domenic Massari and eventually taking the pipe across city to the south and east to the Littlerock Wash. There will also be opportunities for other entities to utilize this recycled water, such as our schools, and we will be saving even more potable water."
PWD Board Director Kathy MacLaren also praised the collaborative efforts of the public agencies. "The PWD is excited about the collaboration with the City to provide highly treated recycled water to the community. Parks, schools and other large landscaped areas will eventually use up to 1/5 or 20 percent of available recycled water. The remaining 80% of the recycled water supply will be used safely to add to our community's water resources, providing it for farming uses and blending with other water supplies to expand them. It illustrates the future potential of our collaboration and its importance to the community now and in the future," MacLaren said.
Sanitation District Chief Engineer and General Manager Grace Chan noted the positive environmental impacts of the project. "Because it reduces the need to import water, this project alone will save 98 barrels of oil and over 135 tons of greenhouse gas emissions a year."
The Palmdale Recycled Water Authority is a partnership between the City of Palmdale and the Palmdale Water District to serve as purveyors of the tertiary treated water that is being produced by the new treatment plant under the management of Sanitation District 20.

Tisa Hats says
Interesting article. It is extremely unfortunate that over the last ten years, the travel industry has already been able to to take on terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu virus, swine flu, as well as the first ever true global economic downturn. Through all of it the industry has really proven to be sturdy, resilient and dynamic, acquiring new ways to deal with hardship. There are always fresh challenges and the possiblility to which the sector must just as before adapt and answer.
Allen Pangan says
This project has so much potential benefits to the community, I'm excited to see how this project will be engineered to achieve its full potential. It will be an honor to offer my services to COP and PWD both.
Nikolas says
Happy to see Palmdale doing this.
All of us, governments included, need to do what we can to use less potable water. From removing or reducing our lawns, watering less, planting drought-tolerant plants in our gardens, etc.
Water is not an unlimited resource that we can simply waste whenever we feel like it.
I honestly believe the price of water is much too low as well. Jack the rates up and people will immediately begin using less of it.
Hello says
Wow, I'm glad Palmdale finally caught up. Lancaster has been doing this for decades.
John Mlynar says
@Hello: That is great! I know Apollo Park uses recycled water. I was not aware that it was being used in the Lancaster City parks. That means the AV is almost totally immersed in this great product. Kudos!
Mayor Ledford says
Kathy Maclaren is the new President of the Palmdale Water District. She also had good comments made toward the collaboration between the Water District and the City.


Copenhagen Airport has revealed plans for its biggest expansion to date, as it aims to add another 80,000sqm of space to the area between gates B and C as part of a huge overall DKK 20 billion (€2.68 billion) refurb.
This DKK 4 billion stage in the renovation, which will also include improved conditions in baggage reclaim, will eventually contribute to taking the hub's annual capacity to 40 million passengers, up from 25 million. CPH saw over 30 million in 2018.
It is the latest stage in an ongoing improvement ongoing since 2016. Last year, the airport inaugurated a 4,000sqm extension of the terminal area between gates A and B.
The airport calls it "the largest construction project so far on the journey to an airport with room for 40 million passengers".
It maintains that the expansion must take place within the existing terminal area rather than building a completely new terminal.
"Even though the airport is growing, as a passenger at CPH you will still have everything under one roof – unlike many other airports in the rest of the world," said Thomas Woldbye, the airport's chief executive.
But it will take a while before the construction is complete. Initially, over the coming year, the airport will work with architects, engineers, contractors and suppliers to design and develop the project.
The first phase of the construction is scheduled to be ready in four years, the second and last phase only after around ten years.

William Byron registers track-best finish at Pocono Raceway
© 2019 Jasen Vinlove / NKP
Start: 31st
Finish: 4th
Standings: 12th
Having to fight from deep within the field for the start of Sunday's race, William Byron and the No. 24 Liberty University team persevered to find themselves battling within the top five during the closing laps of the race. With a green-white-checkered attempt and fuel mileage a factor, Byron had just enough fuel in the tank to cross the line with a track-best finish of fourth at Pocono Raceway.
After qualifying eighth on Saturday, issues in pre-race technical inspection forced the No. 24 Liberty University Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 to line up in the 31st position before the green flag dropped on the 160-lap race. Trying to make up ground quickly, the sophomore driver was knocking on the door of the top 20 early on when he reported that his handling was too tight in traffic. As the run continued, varying pit strategy among the leaders began to play out, moving Byron up inside the top-15 running order. Crew chief Chad Knaus made the call for the No. 24 to pit from the 12th position under green on Lap 41 for four tires, fuel and a round of adjustments to aid in a now "plowing tight" Liberty University Chevy. Rejoining the field with eight laps left in Stage 1, Byron was told to manage his tires and remain in front of the leaders as part of the team's strategy, ultimately finishing Stage 1 in the 22nd position. The veteran crew chief elected to keep Byron on track under the stage break, lining the No. 24 Liberty University Chevrolet up in eighth place for the start of Stage 2.

Still fighting an extremely tight race car, Byron maintained his running position within the top 10 halfway through the second stage. However, on Lap 85, Byron radioed to his crew that he was running out of fuel and needed to pit. Just as the Charlotte, North Carolina, native was about to come to pit road, the caution came out allowing him to pit under yellow with the rest of the leaders. Taking advantage of the caution, the No. 24 team opted to make major adjustments during their four-tire pit stop to try to aid in a still-tight Liberty University Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Lining up 24th for the ensuing restart, Byron picked up a couple positions before the caution came out once again, this time on Lap 93 for rain. Discussing strategy options under the yellow, Knaus decided to bring Byron back down pit road to top off on fuel, four fresh tires and more adjustments. Restarting 24th with five laps left in Stage 2, Byron was able to race his way to the 18th position while avoiding a couple incidents before seeing the green-checkered flag wave signaling the end of the stage. Once again electing not to pit under the stage break, Byron picked up a couple positions during the varying strategies, putting the No. 24 Liberty University Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 12th for start of the final stage.
With his Liberty University Chevrolet handling the best it had all race, Byron made his way within the top 10 before the yellow was displayed on Lap 115. Opting for track position with less than 45 laps left, Knaus audibled for two right-side tires and fuel during the pit stop, positioning Byron sixth for the upcoming restart. As a long green-flag run ensued, Byron was told to save fuel as much as possible to make it to the end of the race. Running eighth in the closing laps, still trying to save fuel like the majority of the leaders, a caution with six laps to go changed the complexion of the race. Still rolling the dice on fuel mileage, Byron lined up eighth for the five-lap dash to the end but quickly nabbed two positions before the yellow was displayed just one lap later, setting up a green-white-checkered situation. Despite being close on fuel, Knaus gave Byron the green light to "go all out" for the final laps. Getting a great restart, Byron was able to move within the top five and crossed the finish line with a track-best fourth-place finish, running out of fuel as he crossed the finish line.
Byron led his Hendrick Motorsports teammates to the stripe with his fourth-place finish at the "Tricky Triangle." Jimmie Johnson collected a top-15 finish in 15th, followed by Alex Bowman in 20th. Unfortunately, teammate Chase Elliot was caught up in a mid-race incident relinquishing him to a 38th-place finish at Pocono Raceway.
BYRON: "It was a tough day. We didn't really have a lot going our way early on. In the first stage and even the second stage, we were just kind of hanging on. We just found a way to make it work. We had good strategy and just found a way to kind of settle in there in a decent spot and save the right amount of fuel. We ran out of fuel coming across the line, so that worked out. We got fortunate on a couple of things. We go on from it and move onto Watkins Glen."

Start: 12th
Finish: 20th
Alex Bowman and the No. 88 Nationwide team rolled off 12th for Sunday's race at Pocono Raceway. Just three laps into the 160-lap event, the driver radioed to the team that his Camaro ZL1 was tight while running 14th. By Lap 13, Bowman reported to crew chief Greg Ives that his car was still too tight. Ives elected to have the Nationwide machine hit pit road on the next lap for right-side tires, fuel and a track-bar adjustment. Following the green flag pit stop, Bowman was scored in the 34th position.
On Lap 28, the Tucson, Arizona, native had worked his way up to the 27th position and was quiet on the radio. Just two laps later, Bowman radioed to the team that his car was still tight. As green-flag pit stops began to cycle through, the Nationwide team was scored in the 14th position. At the conclusion of Stage 1, Bowman crossed the line 15th. Ives called the driver to pit road under the stage-ending yellow for four tires, fuel and an additional chassis adjustment to help the car's handling. Bowman was set to restart 23rd when the field went back green.
Shortly after the start of Stage 2, the No. 88 machine was 19th on the board and Bowman was reporting that his car was free in but tightened up on exit. With 25 laps to go in Stage 2, the 26-year-old driver was running 14th. On Lap 82 the caution flag was shown, and Bowman reported that the team was definitely making progress center off. Ives called Bowman to pit road for four tires and fuel. During the stop, the Nationwide pit crew added tape to the front of the Chevrolet. With 10 laps to go in the stage, Bowman was scored in the 15th position, but teams knew that weather was a potential threat. When the yellow flag was displayed for rain, Ives chose to keep Bowman out on track and not pit when pit road was open.
After a few sprinkles of rain, the field went back green on Lap 95, where Bowman restarted 14th. With two laps remaining in the stage, the caution flag was shown. The driver had advanced five positions and was scored in ninth. The field would end Stage 2 under caution and Bowman was scored with a ninth-place finish, earning valuable stage points. At the start of the final stage, the Nationwide machine was in the seventh position.
With 47 laps to go in the Gander RV 400, the caution flag was shown, and Bowman reported that his car was getting better but getting tighter as he ran. Ives called the driver to pit road for four tires and fuel. Knowing that fuel strategy would come into play, Bowman made an additional pit stop for a splash of fuel before the field went back green. On Lap 119, the field saw the green flag and Bowman restarted 19th.
Bowman was holding strong in 13th with 30 laps to go. Just 15 laps later, the Nationwide machine was 10th and saving fuel as they ran. When a late-race caution was shown, Ives radioed to Bowman to save fuel. Again, knowing it could come down to fuel mileage, Ives called Bowman to pit road for right-side tires and fuel under the yellow. Shortly after the restart, the caution was shown again, sending the 400-mile event into overtime.
During the first attempt at the overtime finish, Bowman started 17th. With competitors three and four wide in the corners, Bowman got shuffled back and ended up finishing 20th at Pocono Raceway. The No. 88 team now sits 11th in the NASCAR points standings, 228 markers behind the leader.
BOWMAN: "That definitely wasn't what we needed today. Our Nationwide Chevy was really tight at the start of the race and Greg (Ives) and the guys made good adjustments during pit stops. It turned into a fuel strategy race and we knew we would be short, so we came down pit road to top off. Things just didn't play out the way we thought it would and we ended up 20th."

Conti's is just a short trot over from A.C. Rumpa. Its fame extends not just to its desserts but also beyond the confines of Parañaque. Almost everyone I've asked has at one time or another eaten here or knows someone who has.
I guess you could call this place your neighborhood bakery, although it's far from the typical. For one, the place is always, and I mean always packed, whether it be a weekday and especially on weekends. People come here for the signature Baked Salmon (which I have not tried), and the plethora of desserts. Conti's large menu spans the globe from classic Filipino, Japanese, American, and Spanish, with plenty of appetizers, soups, salads, and pastas thrown in. Satisfying your monster of a stomach would not be a problem here.
Conti's also has a deli for take-home food and quick throw-together parties. Food includes frozen chicken a la kiev, embotido (meat roll), roast beef, and plenty of dips, dressings, sauces, and spreads. They also offer catering services. So basically, they're all around.
I've been to Conti's twice. I'm impressed with their layout, their deli, and the fact that it's always full. I'm also entranced with the variety of desserts available here. Their banana cream torte is a mainstay at dinner parties, as is their mango cream pie, and the choco overload cake (see photo collage). The problem you'd most likely have at Conti's (as I do) is what not to have. There's just so much.
Having said all that, Conti's only rates fair on my scale (I can imagine Conti die-hards wanting to slap me right about now). I've been there twice and I don't find their food particularly flavorful. It's okay-ordinary. I've tried several of their desserts: turtle pie (which lacks that ooey-gooey, lip-sticking caramel quality); the apple pie (old apples, hard crust); peach walnut torte (which frankly, didn't taste like anything except cream, with nary a walnut in sight); and the pistachio cream pie which I must applaud for its originality; pistachio pies are rare in Manila, but this one was too mousse-y and frozen for my taste. I'm also bothered with how white the crust is.
Don't get me wrong. I still suggest Conti's to people who ask me for good places to eat at in the south. Just come to Conti's on an off-hour with plenty of patience, and your inner food critic turned down to low.
Haha! My sister and her family will hate you. They love Conti's and never miss a chance to bring home a cake or two.
In fact, after the "10 Best Desserts" thing we attended, they wondered, adamantly, why their favorite cake joint wasn't on the list.
Nasty little food critic aren't we.
a lot of people have linked you up. way to go, girl!
Chicken pie is another fave! Conti's is definitely one resto that my family loves!
well its kinda rough saying about conti's…but we have our own taste buds… why dont you try their entrees… you might love it… every christmas and new year people goes to the store early morning just to take a chance to have a piece of the mango bravo….

Q: How to create a background effect First of all I apologize if the question is too broad to answer, but I just need the direction for approach.
How to create a background animation like ( the red stripe background ) : link
I am learning css animation, and wanted to know the direction I  can approach to get the effect like this.

A: They do not really animate all kinds of swirls, it's the pattern that makes you mind think it does. It is a background image that animates up and down :)
Possible solution with the image as background (but anything that moves could work):
#example{
  background-image: url('https://trionndesign.com/images/creativeBg.jpg');
  animation-name: backgroundscroller;
  animation-duration: 12s;
  animation-iteration-count: infinite;
  animation-timing-function: linear;
}
@keyframes backgroundscroller {
   from { background-position:    0  0; }
   to {   background-position:  100% 0; }
}

A lot of non-endless-repeating animations work with a before and an after. It starts with 0 scroll and ends with 100% scrolled. Or 0 opacity to 1 opacity. The trick is to figure that out, what is the property they're animating and apply it with css' transition.
In case of endless animation, you need the more advanced example like above.

This is going to be a Being John Malkovich-type column, where I walk you through the mind of a political science major whose job it is to cover politics. My expertise on this topic comes from the fact that what I'm about to detail below is how I have kept myself properly informed year-round. What follows is a tried and true method for following the midterm elections tonight.
Under normal circumstances, I'd tell you to turn off the TV and throw it in the river if you're looking to keep yourself informed. It's not just Fox News—all TV news is poison. On the whole, baby boomers have a more difficult time telling fact from opinion, and it's almost surely thanks to the fact that they are the most voracious consumers of TV news.
Plus, those supposedly super serious Sunday shows that so many people love? Those are infinitely more effective at spreading conservative disinformation than some Kremlin shitposting shop in Macedonia.
The problem with TV news is that it's on TV, therefore its primary objective is to entertain you, not inform you. Most days out of the year, information takes a back seat to entertainment, but on a night like this where there are a bazillion different races to track, the cable news model is actually a very effective one to keep you informed. Cable news is utterly useless until there's a ton of news to break.
I'd recommend sticking with CNN tonight, as MSNBC still tries to pass Brian "I got shot down in Iraq but actually never mind, I didn't" Williams off as a serious journalist, and they have turned Rachel Maddow, who used to be known as the best national journalist at highlighting local issues, into a full-time Russia conspiracy theorist. CNN may employ a dullard like Chris Cillizza, but remember that MSNBC gave walking conservative galaxy brain, Hugh Hewitt, his own show—so the DNC-backed cable channel isn't as liberal as its most ardent acolytes believe it to be.
The New York Times election needle seems to have legitimately given some people PTSD from election night 2016, but their analytics blog, The Upshot is still one of the best sources to reference in real time as results are pouring in, regardless of what graphic they choose to express their data crunching in. Along those same lines, NYT alum Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight live coverage should be open in a tab as well. CNN's website has a simple exit polling interface that is really handy when contrasting demographics of past elections to present. If you take this route, remember to compare 2018's results with 2014, not 2016. Midterm elections have very different turnout figures than presidential elections, so it's not an equal comparison to look at tonight's results versus what happened two years ago.
Ultimately, this is your best resource if you really want to figure out what's going on. Twitter has a reputation as a cesspool of Nazis, and it's an extremely earned reputation, but it's also a remarkable resource to find expert opinions on pretty much any topic you want. For example, I can hop over to historian Kevin M. Kruse's feed to help contrast things like the modern struggle for voting rights to America's sordid history. While tonight is one vastly important event, to truly get a sense of what is going on, you must look at today's elections as one momentous battle among many. Kruse is one of the best people to follow on that subject.
Then I can click on Daniel Nichanian's timeline to find out the important election developments at every level of our government. He put together an incredible spreadsheet tracking all the important elections that I have used as a reference for my election previews and that Paste politics editor Shane Ryan wrote a quick summary of. Without Twitter, I never would have discovered his expertise to use as a resource for my own work.
After scrolling through the big races highlighted by Nichanian, I can then swing over to the Daily Kos' Carolyn Fiddler's feed to see what's going on at the state level. I link to this list of eight examples of how Republicans have actively worked to undermine democracy all the time, and it was inspired by a thread she put together with links to all the relevant sources on these undemocratic events happening in our public sphere. Again, without Twitter, I never would have come across her work, and I am a more informed person because of it.
Keep in mind, too, that no matter what happens tonight, there is a political life to be lived in America after the election. There are an infinite number of Carolyn Fiddler's, Daniel Nichanian's and Kevin M. Kruse's out there. I follow over 2,500 accounts on Twitter (I know, I know, I have a problem), and I couldn't do my job of summarizing and explaining the news without leaning on these experts' expertise. Ultimately, if you want to stay informed under normal circumstances, I would recommend that you turn off the TV altogether, and start reading (at the very least, stop watching pundits spout opinions on panels, Paste and a ton of other political commentary sites like us have infinitely better punditry than any of the vapid centrism you'll see on TV).
Read your local paper. Support your local paper by subscribing to it. Without local journalism, a lot of this information that bubbles to the top of the news cycle wouldn't be possible. So first and foremost: read your local newspaper. I cannot stress that point enough.
Then, keep up with the New York Times and The Washington Post, who, despite their failures to properly document things that the D.C. consulting class refuses to look at honestly—like the rise of fascism in America (although that's a problem that applies far more to the Times than the Post)—or climate change, they invest a ton of resources into journalism, and they produce staggering scoops (like the Times' Pulitzer-worthy detailing of Trump's finances) that drive the news cycle. The Wall Street Journal is also an incredible journalistic outlet, despite its opinion page being completely indistinguishable from Breitbart.
Lastly, for opinion journalism, stay the hell away from the mainstream media. All of it. Chris Cillizza will never tell you anything that you don't already know, and he will actively make you dumber. Read Paste. Read Splinter. Read The Outline. Read Daily Kos. Read Jacobin. There's a ton of great liberal writing out there—it just largely doesn't come from any of the 90% of media outlets owned by six conglomerates (that said, for a good opinion columnist in mainstream media, check out WaPo's Elizabeth Bruenig).
As far as conservative opinion goes, a few years ago I would have recommended The Weekly Standard or parts of The American Conservative (although a significant chunk of it has always been good old fashioned crazypants), but the Age of Trump has proven that Trump is the GOP, and the GOP is Trump. Conservatism must be defeated at the ballot box so as to demonstrate their failure in the war of ideas. Individual conservatives like Ken White (known on Twitter as Popehat) are good follows who are informative, but it's more thanks to White's expertise as a defense lawyer who is intimately familiar with the rigged game that is the American justice system. You wouldn't recognize his views on the law in America amongst any iteration of conservatism in America's history.
Ultimately, keeping yourself informed comes down to self-discipline. Of course we all want to believe that meme on Facebook asserting that the Trump children are beneficiaries of birthright citizenship, but think about it for a second: Donald is also their legal guardian, and unlike Melania, he was a U.S. citizen before Eric, Don Jr. and Ivanka were born. Facebook is the largest disinformation outlet in the world (that or YouTube), and relying on your uncle's shared links from PatriotEagle.gun is sure to inject you with bad information.
Look, anyone can practice journalism: you just need to find two independent sources to say something is true. Vet the sources by looking at other things they have posted, and possibly fact-check those items if it's still not clear. Google is a tremendous resource, as is Twitter. Just type in the keywords from any given story, and Google will produce (mostly) valid results. If you're familiar with various personalities on Twitter, you can find a ton of helpful links by navigating certain experts' timelines.
We live in an age where the average person has more information at their fingertips than most Kings have had throughout history, and if we can figure out how to sort through it (which is far easier said than done—even following everything I laid out above will inevitably lead you to bad info at some point), then we will have all the information we need to solve America's biggest challenges.


Following is feedback from many of our customers...it will give you an idea of how some of the families who have purchased a puppy feel about us...we are very proud of our reputation and our puppies!
It has been many years from the last time I touched base with you. You probably have forgotten about this little guy we named Toby. I think he is 9 or 10 years old now (As he gets older, so do I !!!) I believe he was the runt of one of Cassie and Justice's litters. Rest assured, he is no runt now. He is 15+ lbs (gets it from Justice, I think) and remains as healthy and beautiful as the first day we got him. In his earlier years, he volunteered as a therapy dog and brought joy to many children at the Children's hospital here in Tulsa. Now, he just hangs out and brings joy to our lives every day. He is super intelligent, and will melt your heart with his sweet personality. Thanks so much for doing what you do.
Good morning Cathryn, I've been meaning to drop you a line for the past few months, today is the day.
The reason I think it's important to thank you once again...I belong to a Facebook site called Everything Shih Tzu, Beemer's Buddies. There were several hundred members when I joined it earlier this year; now there are almost 4,000. It's a great site to post photos of your Shih Tzus (so you don't bore your family and friends with all your dog's cute antics). Members share food ideas; training; etc. No one is allowed to sell or buy.
But the reason it's important for me to let you know, is the fact that many, probably not overwhelmingly, but many of the members ask for help with health or behavioral issues. And, they get our unprofessional feedback.
But it dawned on me the other day what a GREAT dog Brodie is. He is healthy, he does not bite people, does not bark, does not have accidents in the house, does not have separation anxiety issues (who knew?), no longer eats poop (altho' he still seems interested at times), does not appear to have food allergies, or skin issues.
Pat Rombyer, mother of Bandit, Brodie and our stray kitty, Autumn.
Three years ago, we adopted Max, an older puppy, from you and he's been an absolute joy! He is such a lovable, friendly lil dog. He's never lost his puppy look. We will hopefully be looking to add a third Shihtzu to our family!!! Thank you.
Quincy will be one on Christmas Eve, I think he's hoping that Santa brings him a playmate! Quinny is a special little guy and brings me much happiness. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
It's been 1 week since we brought Denver home and it has been wonderful! At almost 5 months old, he is soooo smart and attentive, which makes training much easier. He's had minimal accidents in the house which were my fault for not watching and listening. But I'm getting much better at seeing the signs and the good news is that he knows where to go, his few accidents happen right in front of the door! That little wimper he makes means "Hurry Momma! I gotta go!!"
Every day when I get home from work, one of the first things I do is put him on my lap and comb his beautiful hair. It is the most relaxing thing and helps me de-stress after a stressful day at work. He loves it too. If he were a cat, he'd purr... he struggles to keep his eyes open while I comb him out and every few minutes he'll sigh in content. I love him. Our visit to the vet went perfectly, she said he was a beautiful Shih Tzu with perfect markings... and of course he's in perfect health! He'll be neutered the Tuesday after Christmas, I'm off work that week so I'll be able to pamper him as he "recuperates." Yes, he's spoiled.
He is such an amazing little guy and I'm totally in love. Thank you so much for uniting him with our family!!
Well my Abby was not one of your puppies but she was a very beautiful and kind Shih Tzu.. I just lost her after 15 1/2 years to kidney failure. I have been watching your puppies on your web site for about 8 years. When my heart heals enough I am sure you will be hearing from me -my life is not complete without a Shih Tzu too love!
Today we are celebrating Missy's 3rd birthday! I've been trying to send you her photo, but it doesn't go through. Checking to see if this works.
I just wanted to say hello and let you know that Cosmo is doing great! He is a whopping 16#, and is really healthy. He is absolutely the best dog I could ask for. He has been a great "little brother" to our two girls and has even won over my husband! He is the most cuddly, happy, friendly boy. This past four years with him has been wonderful.
I hope you're both doing well!
I wanted to let you Bella is wonderful!!I cant thank both of you enough. You are such great breeders and wonderful moms to the babies.
I honestly could see coming back for a second little baby in the future.
Chauncy is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! Does he produce show quality pups?
I just lost my little shih tzu to chronic kidney failure from JRD. I applaud your testing for the gene, and your 5 year health guarantee. my little guy was only 2.5 years old. When I am ready to get another little baby, I'll definitely be giving you a call. Thanks so much for caring for these babies enough to maintain great health standards.
NOTE FROM CATHRYN AND SUSAN: The Shih Tzu that Kristin lost to JRD is not one of our puppies...in fact, we are blessed to still (after 9 years) be able to say we have never had to replace a puppy.
KRISTIN: Please accept our heartfelt sympathy...we look forward to hearing from you when you are ready, and we appreciate that you understand the importance of excellent health standards.
Yesterday our dear little MuGu celebrated his 2nd birthday (Lucie & Tzuname 4-10-08) and I just had to send you a note to say Thank You Again!.
You may recall that when we contacted you in the Spring of 2008 we had just lost our last 2 shih tzu babies within 3 weeks of each other and we were devastated. You and your kind gentle ways with your Shih Tzu babies won our hearts over and we began the process of "adopting" a new baby to fill the void.
David and I reflect on almost a weekly (sometimes daily) basis how such a little soul (MuGu weighs in at a little over 6 lbs) could fill such a big hole in our hearts! No matter what the day may throw at us, he puts a smile on our faces. He has the typical ornery but quite lovable Shih Tzu personality! He is the King of the house and he knows it! He rules our hearts and it is uncanny how he has picked up some of the most lovable traits of our last 2 babies, Kodi & Tino (I know they watch over him from Heaven).
For the first 18 months or so after he came to live with us, MuGu came to work with me every day. He soon become the center of everyone's heart at the office. As he "grew-up" he liked to stay at home where he can rule the roost from his over-sized comfy throne in the living room with all of his multitude of toys around him. So when I would get ready to leave for work he would run behind the sofa until I would leave the house and then as I pulled out of the garage, there he would be in the front window bidding me goodbye! At least once a month I have to bring him into the office just so everyone can get their "MuGu fix". He is by far the most loving little guy we have ever had the honor to have in our lives and that is saying a lot because our other guys meant the world to us as well.
I know that the love and care he received from you from the very beginning of his life has formed his incredibly social and human like behavior. There isn't a person he doesn't endear himself to and our world would be a much sadder, duller and lonelier place without him.
We can't thank you enough for your love and dedication to this special breed of furry babies. We hope to add another of your babies to our family in the future. (In fact, I almost called you about a little guy by the name of Teddy who was featured on your website until just a short time ago).
We are not picture takers but both of our daughters are so I promise to send you a photo of MuGu in the near future.
Happy New Year Girls! Just a note to say that Odee, Olive, Oskar, Koko Lollee, Macee Gracee, Oreo, Charlee Brown, and Bette Boop are wild and well in our household. :) Everyday is an adventure full of love and licks! For those counting.....that is 8 beautiful Casan dogs that we are proud to own! Four boys and four gals! Crazy doesn't exactly describe it, but we love them all. We have yet to get them to all sit still long enough to pose together for a photo. We will keep trying! Bette is a final exclamation to the group! We are so happy that we decided to get her! A perfect fit! Hope all is well with you both and your brood.
I was just looking at the new puppies and they are so adorable! Our little Chairman Mao is the most perfect addition to our family and I couldn't help stopping by to see the new little ones. Precious! Anyway, I'll be sharing some photos of Mao soon and I hope to adopt a playmate for him in the not too distant future.
I Love your website! Everyday I go to your site and look at all your puppies. My husband will not allow a dog in the house, so this is my puppy moment for the day. Thank you!!!
Dear Susan and KATHRYN,Your web site has been such a comfort to me during the recent loss of my beloved shih tzu,Loo Loo.Ever since I found this beautiful web site,Ilook at it a number of times during the day and it reminds me of her puppy days and the wonderful years I spent with her.I wish that I had been ready to choose a new baby from your 4 recent litters but I just needed more timeto cope and grieve!!I loved talking with Susan by phone and really felt comfortable with her.I look forward to contacting her again after my trip and waiting for the next available litter. Thank you for your great web site.Fondly,Connie DiMondi P.S.I feel like I have found 2 new friends!!!!
Just wanted you to know that Sam is doing so well. He gets along fabulously with Zoey and Dodger. I was walking the three of them yesterday and a woman pulled over in her car and got out to talk to me because she admired my dogs. I told her that two had come from the same breeder in Indiana, she assumed that I had them shipped to NJ. I said I would NEVER do that to a dog, and that we had driven to pick them up. She said that it must be a special breeder and I said YES!!! What is a 10 hour drive when you are getting another member of the family. Plus the ride home is a great bonding time!!! So just a belated thank you for doing such a great job in raising exceptionally healthy, good looking, and most of all personable puppies!!
Almost a year ago Paul & I visited your home and fell prompty in love with a darling puppy whose name is now Missy. Her parents are Good Times and Rosie. She is so friendly that everyone in the neighborhood knows her and says she is so adorable!
She's an active little girl and we love her dearly. If you're ever in the NW Indiana area ...we would love to have you visit us.
Thanks from the bottom of our hearts for being such a concientious breeder.
Hello - I stumbled on your website and am so glad I did! I currently have two fur girls - Lexi who is 3, she is a beautiful champagne girl I got from Lori Ricken at Santana Shih-tzu's, and Tasha who is a little over a year from StarrMe Shihtzu's( I adore Marion, she is an awesome breeder!), she is the daughter of Chauncy and Black Ice - beautiful gold little doll with a black mask. It is so fun to see some of Chauncy's other "kids" on your site! I enjoy seeing all the babies, they are so precious ;-) Sending lots of love to the fur kids!
Just wanted to say thanks. I have had my dogs for more than 4 years and i love them.. they are the love of my life..
Honey Bear and Teddy Bear are doing great. They turned 4 on November 5, 2008.
Cathryn and Susan - I spent countless months surfing the net to find that "Perfect" puppy. I went to breeders in my area and didn't like what I saw. When I came across Tucker (formerly known as Andy), I fell in love. He was exactly what I was looking for. He was worth the drive.
In speaking with both of you, I knew that your dogs would be head and shoulders above the rest, because of the love that you have for them.
Tucker has only been with us a few days, but he has won over everyone in the house (especially my husband, who said we didn't need another dog.....). His big Shih tzu brothers, Max and Cooper are having a blast having Tucker chase them around the house and yard. He has this HUGE personality for such a little guy.
I want to thank you and tell anyone else reading this that you are, by far, the best breeders I have ever come across. Anyone who is hesitant about purchasing a puppy via a website should go to Casan's. The quality of your puppies is the best.
If there is another Shih tzu in my future, you can rest assured it will come from you. (Good thing you didn't bring Sophie, or I would have come home with 2 puppies).
Thanks again and I wish you both nothing but the best!
Kenny people that want just money are not real breeders who want for puppies to be happy.Real breeder wants to know everything about you and your family because they want best for babies.Belive me i was in that situation and my baby died bcz that person sold me sick dog and he did care but unfortunately just about my money.
Just wanted to update you on Yoda. He is doing incrediably well. He is such a lovable little boy and brings us so much joy.
Thank you ladies for producing such wonderful bundles of joy.
your dogs are soooooooooooooo incredibly cute! i wish i could keep them all!
We've done it again!!! We now have our #6 of Cathryn and Susan's wonderful shih tzu. Our new little boy is named Bogie (Bogart) and he joins his brothers and sisters, Jackson, Gypsy Rose, Benny, Jazzy Marie Louise, and Sienna Moon.
We can't begin to tell you the personality and sweetness of Casans shih tzu. They're unbelievable - and the reason we keep coming back - irresistable!! We took little Bogity, Bogity, Bogie (as we call him) home on July 8 and within 4 weeks he was fully potty-trained.
I would like to say my wife and I can't wait until I return home from deployment in December so we can pick up our new family member. I have been enjoying all the new updates on your Shih Tzu dogs, and I have been tempted many times to put a deposit on one of your puppies but I know patience is a virtue. The right dog will be there for us in December as it is meant to be. Thank you for keeping my puppy application on file until then.
I just had a chance to review your website. I saw one of your dogs when I was walking down Michigan Avenue in Chicago. And I had to ask the owner where did he purchase his adorable puppy. And he gave me your website.
I currently have had my Shih Tzu for 7 years her name is Pebbles. She is smart, loving, and adorable I will probably purchase another one if something happens to her.
I'm so excited to know that there are other people like me that love this breed of dog. And if something happens to my precious Pebbles I will definitely look you up.
Thanks for caring about are precious Shih Tzu.
My mom wants a shih tzu so bad,but my dad says that its either him or the dog? He doesn't want a dog in the house?? What do I do?
I just wanted to send you a note to thank you both for not only being wonderful breeders, but for giving us our sweet, sweet little girl Taffi. Although we came to look at a little black and white boy, we came home with our gold and white girl!! She won our hearts and she was MEANT to come home with us. It's amazing to me how these things happen. You just KNOW when it's right and we knew that Taffi was meant to be ours.
Taffi has the sweetest disposition of any dog we have ever owned. She is happy all the time and she has not given us one ounce of problems in the 6 days we have had her. Even sneaking her into the hotel room on Saturday night was a breeze. She didn't make a sound and she slept all night in her carrier. She even went potty on the wee wee pads like a good little girl. What an angel!!
Our two Yorkie girls and our Maltese boy have not yet warmed up to her and she DESPERATELY wants one of them to play with her. I feel so badly because she is such a sweetheart but I have to let the older ones welcome her into the 'pack' at their own pace. I know it won't be long until we are one, big, happy family!
If you are looking to buy a Shih Tzu, look no further than Casan's Quality Shih Tzu. Susan and Cathryn are wonderful, caring breeders who KNOW what they are doing and I guarantee that you will truly get a quality dog like their name implies who will be sweet and well adjusted. Their love for the breed is obvious and you will not be disappointed.
Thank you again for our beautiful little girl.
Thank you SO much for letting us visit today. Kristina and I could have stayed all day playing with all of your puppies. Each one is so special. We had the best time on our ride home talking about each one and just gushing over how special it was to see the babies. When we arrived home Buddy had a smell fest....just can't leave us alone with all those puppy smells. I let him know that in a couple of months he would have a little playmate.
Thanks also for the delicious cookies. We gobbled them up on the ride home!
It was great being able to meet you in person. You are both such warm and caring people and the love you have for your puppies just shines through.
Hi Susan and Cathryn, Tashi has been with us for over a month now and she is doing fine. We are having a lot of fun with her and she absolutely worships our older dog Jessica. We are still working on housebreaking her but I know it takes a lot of time. She now weighs 7 3/4 pounds. I took her for a 2 mile walk yesterday and she did great. She is so beautiful. We absolutely love her. We know when we are looking for another Shih Tzu, we will definitely get in touch with you. You are wonderful people and I cannot tell you how touched we are that you take such good care of all the Shih Tzu in your homes. I also want to thank you for all the goodies you gave us as we were leaving. You are so thoughtful. It was a real pleasure to meet you. I only wish we lived closer. Since Tashi is growing, the Pet Champion Harness you gave us in our goodie bag is now too small. We purchased one at PetSmart but it is not the quality of the one you provided. Can you please tell me where you get your harnesses? How is Sassy? I bet she is beautiful too. I love the picture of Buddy on the website. I don't think I can handle three Shih Tzu at this time or Buddy would be in our home. He is adorable. I will send pictures of Tashi soon. She is beautiful!!!
We are so excited about welcoming our own little guy into our family! Our entire circle of family and friends is always asking for updates. Bringing home "Chewbacca" is one greatly anticipated event. We can hardly wait!
I have two Casan's dogs and they are the most amazing little ones ever. I was lucky enough to find their website about 3 years ago, when they had just had a Niki x Justice litter. I fell head over heels in love with one little girl and that is how Sophie came into my life. About a month after I got her, I knew I needed another pup. So last summer, when Niki had Justice's pups again, I picked out a little boy and named him Gus. Sophie is my prim little princess and Gus is a complete rascal who is happiest cradled in my arms, sleeping.
They are truly the cutest dogs ever. Everyone they meet is instantly enamored with them. People shout at me from across the street wanting to pet them! They are so full of love and character and every moment with them is a joy.
If you are looking for an amazing companion, look no further. To be a part of the Casan's world is absolutely a gift. These little dogs are bright, funny and endlessly entertaining. Thank you Susan and Cathryn for giving me my little loves!!
I just have to say, these puppies are the BEST! I have 2 Casan's shih-tzu's, Bailey, and Watson. There is a pic of Watson on the Past Puppies page. They are the sweetest and most loving dogs in the world! Everyone that comes over falls in love with our dogs! Bailey is 5 now, and Watson is 18 months. They both are Casey's pups. It's amazing how well they took to one another. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this Breeder! If you are researching the net, and have stumbled upon this page looking for a shih-tzu, trust me when I say you won't be disappointed! Thank you Cathryn and Susan for our precious angels!
My sister, Carol and I now have between us, 7 Shih Tzus - 6 from Casan's. I have 3 beautiful boys, Norbu (Jewel) is black with a white bib, Khandro (Angel) is a beautiful blond, and my baby Tenzing is tri-colored. Allwear full coats except Tenzing, who never learned to like being groomed. Carol has Tashi (Bringer of Good Fortune), a 7 pound fawn female and Ketu and Jamling - brother and sister who each weigh about 3 pounds and who just turned one year old! I just finished baby sitting all seven while my sister was away on a trial ---- let me tell you, it was a circus every single day and night! Add to the 6 Casan's puppies Lillibet, the matriarch of the group, who turns 12 this May and you have the menagerie.


Ghosting isn't exactly the nicest way to close a relationship book, but it does happen (and we've all done it at least once, right?), but there are certain parameters or unwritten rules that should be adhered to. So, like, if you've been on one Tinder date (or even two), ghosting is fine, I rate. Maybe even three dates – it's not advised, but I wouldn't be too miffed if it happened to me (it has happened to me).
But I think once a "relationship" goes over a few months, the ghosting period is dead. The ghosting period is a ghost. And I'm afraid of ghosts.
So, to today's story: over on the blog Ask A Manager (a lighthearted Q&A site for people with workplace problems), an anonymous man emailed in with a question about his current predicament.
Essentially, he had ghosted a girl, subsequently left the country and found work at a new school. He got away without a messy break-up, basically. Hi my name's Scott. Scott Free.
"I have been in other relationships since, so Sylvia is a sort of forgotten history. Sadly, till now. This week, I learnt that our fantastic school director suddenly resigned due to a serious family situation and had to move back to her home country over the summer.
So yeah, quite bad and all – a lady that he ghosted, and who probably once saw him naked, is now going to be his boss. Quite a funny little cautionary tale.
"Sylvia wanted to settle down but I was not ready to commit so young. We clearly had different expectations from the relationship. I did not know what to do and, well, I ghosted her. Over the Christmas break, while she was visiting her family, I simply moved out and left the country.
HE HAD BEEN LIVING WITH HER FOR TWO YEARS AND THEN ONE DAY HE JUST FUCKED OFF.
"I have no idea what to do and how to deal with this mess. It is clear this will be not only embarassing but I will also be reporting to my ex. I am not in a position to find another job at present. There are no other international schools so finding another job in this country is not an option.
I didn't mean it literally, but OK.

Q: Remove substring within aggregate I am working in a data warehouse and combining 3 columns with the following:
CAST(
    ISNULL(PORCH_TYPE_1,'') ||
    CASE WHEN PORCH_TYPE_2 IS NULL THEN '' ELSE ', ' END ||
    ISNULL(PORCH_TYPE_2,'') ||
    CASE WHEN PORCH_TYPE_3 IS NULL THEN '' ELSE ', ' END ||
    ISNULL(PORCH_TYPE_3,'') AS VARCHAR(250)
    ) AS PORCH_TYPE,

This is working, except in the results, I can end up with something that looks like:

Open Porch, None, None

or

None, None, Open Porch

What I'm needing to do is remove both

None

and

,None

How would I go about doing that within this same column/statement?

A: One method is to concatenate the comma to the end of each valid porch type.  Then remove the final trailing comma using TRIM():
TRIM(TRAILING ',' FROM
      ((CASE WHEN PORCH_TYPE_1 <> 'None' THEN PORCH_TYPE_1 || ',' END) ||
       (CASE WHEN PORCH_TYPE_2 <> 'None' THEN PORCH_TYPE_2 || ',' END) ||
       (CASE WHEN PORCH_TYPE_3 <> 'None' THEN PORCH_TYPE_3 || ',' END)
      )
