Last year, my company bought us a new toy - a 3D printer (MakerGear M2). Over the past year+ I've been finding models (and making a few of my own) to enhance/pimp out some games.
This list is some of the various things I've printed out and why (and maybe a few TODO items that caught my eye).
I enjoy painting as one of the things I do to pimp games, so not everything I've printed is a direct enhancement for a specific game. In this case, I found a paint brush rack - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1294085 . This little beauty holds my brushes, and keeps them such that it is easy to see which brush I want and also hold those extra tools - exacto knives, putty tools, etc.
The nice part of custom boxes are that they take up a little less space than the original box and have wells for all the parts. True, the instructions don't fit here, but for a game like this, I don't really care. (I checked, they could fit if I folded them and didn't mind the lid sitting up slightly - or if I adjusted the lid to be slightly taller it could accommodate them).
This particular box is cool because it has slots for the card stand and a tunnel for the timer.
There are tons of organizers for this game, but the one I wanted was something that would hold all of it in one place.
It holds cards, dice, coins - everything but the instructions. Including expansions.
At some point, you can just have too much Carc. Especially annoying is when the tableau gets moved/bumped. You know what I'm talking about. These trays solve that problem. Each tray holds nine tiles and locks onto the trays adjacent to it. No more sliding tiles. Unexpected benefit - the whole tableau can move. That one player at one end of the table with short arms? You can slide the whole thing in their direction to make life easier. The map grows in an odd direction? Rotate all of it or slide it to make space.
These trays work exceptionally well for Isle of Skye: From Chieftain to King! The tiles are the exact same size as the Carc tiles, so each player can use these for their individual maps and move them aside during the auctions or whatever.
I think this is a pretty good two player game, but I kind of dislike the setup/layout. When I acquired this, the first thing I did was go look to see if someone had designed a tray(s) for the card layout and sure enough, someone did. Honestly, I feel like this makes the game faster since we are not dorking around with the layout the whole game.
After printing all the parts, there were still things to do.
1) Painting. I paint minis, so this was no stretch for me. Airbrushed most of the pieces in some base color, used some washes and drybrushing and a little details. All in acrylic paint and then sealed with a matte clear sealer. The water pieces were all printed with a translucent blue and weren't painted other than the non-water details.
2) Magnetize! I ordered a bazillion little magnets, printed the magnet bases and loaded them up and attached them to the tiles. The whole thing stays together, which is just awesome.
3) It needs a case!. This part is still a work in progress. I bought a wooden artist's box from Hobby Lobby and am printing the racks for holding the tile sets. It is a little tight, but it is coming along nicely.
For those that care - this is not a complete game. You still need the cards and such from the game, but all the wooden bits from the original are going in my bits box.
I can't believe this never occurred to me until recently. I have a small collection of card holders for regular card games and such. I hate messy discard piles and so forth and this game has piles of cards. I thought they might be a bit small after I printed them, but was surprised to realize that only the structures deck was maybe a bit tall for the rack.
For Descent, I have printed a ton of card boxes.
I scaled down those boxes for the market decks.
Awesome 4X kind of space game with lots of parts? Cool, but you really need some of this stuff (you just didn't know you did).
Trays. Much like the Carc ones above, these provide the same benefits - slide the whole maps around the table to make things easier for people to reach. Keep the map from getting jostled and having to "fix" it all. There are a couple of different versions. I printed out the ones that have puzzle like connectors, but there are also versions that can house magnets.
For the individual players, this little beauty is ever so essential - a cube "tray". They are even pretty simple to fill. Dump the cube pile over the tray and slide it back and forth a little - for the most part, the cubes kind of sort themselves into the slots.
Most folks probably have a plano box or other solution in place for the parts, but these trays are well done as well. It makes passing around the common tiles much simpler. I wish the designer had made a lid for them too.
These are pure pimping - just for the cool factor. 3D printed Orbitals to show off.
Thingiverse has a number of other items that can be found to help organize the stacks of space hexes, individual player parts (I found it easier to just have them bagged), etc.
Sometimes you just need to print a whole game out. I heard about this game after the Kickstarter started landing. After reading about it, I guessed there was probably some models for the game online and sure enough, there was a full set that was out there. This particular set is even shape friendly for the sight impaired.
I haven't even opened my copy yet and have been looking at the multitude of things to print - I very much like the look of the player board things.
Sometimes, you print something for love of a game (and because you are a geek).


Carpet can be a great flooring solution for homeowners and businesses alike, but carpet that isn't well maintained can not only look dirty, but pose a health risk. Let's look at some of the health risks associated with unclean carpets.
Because of the way carpets are made it is all too easy for allergens such as animal or human hair and dander to become trapped in the carpet. In addition to hair and dander, other allergens such as pollen can become trapped in the carpet, especially in the spring and summer. A simple vacuuming probably isn't enough to remove all of the allergens that are present, which means that a deep cleaning will be needed. Because many people are allergic to pet hair, dander and pollen it is important to periodically have a deep cleaning, so that your employees or patrons don't experience allergy symptoms when visiting your facility.
In addition to allergens carpets are a perfect place for bacteria to collect and grow, especially in areas near entryways or food sources (kitchens, etc). Bacteria can pose a health risk for obvious reasons, and in the long run can end up costing you time, money, and your employees their health. A deep carpet cleaning is necessary to remove possible sources of bacteria.
Mold is another major issue in carpeted areas because carpets provide perfect conditions for mold to grow and spread. Mold can cause major health issues for both employees and patrons, from allergic reactions to respiratory problems. Mold left untreated can pose a major health risk, with some types of mold being more hazardous than others.
And finally, dirty carpets can also harbor pests like mites and bedbugs. In some cases carpet can even provide a breeding ground for fleas. To prevent infestations like this it is important to have regular deep cleanings by a professional. This is especially important in businesses that may see animals in their building.
Keeping the carpets clean in your establishment is more than an issue of appearances, it is an issue of health. Whether it is allergies or bacterial infections the carpets in your building could be making your visitors and employees sick. For a thorough floor cleaning in Westminster, MD contact us at Kent Clean today to discuss how we can help you keep your carpets clean and your employees healthy!

Wouldn't trust another place like I trust Rudy's!
I got in right at opening, on a Monday, with an urgent engine problem. I still thought I'd be making an appointment, and waiting days. Rudy's got my car in, found the problem, and had me back on the road for 9am- at a VERY reasonable price.
Every once in a while you find someone in the service industry that you trust will always do their best and have your best interest at heart. We all know how incredibly rare it is to find the "perfect dentist" or "best hair stylist" or in this case, the "best auto mechanic". Once you find these people, you're a customer for life! Even if you move to the other side of the city you'd still make the drive to see these people because you wouldn't trust anyone to do the same job better. Well, Rudy's Auto Service is that place. Rudy's is simply the best. Their work is completed incredibly quickly and they charge a very fair price and their quote is their word - no "surprises". And most importantly, their repairs stay repaired! I've never had to bring my vehicle back for the same problem ever. And there are never any "coincidental" repairs that need to be performed a week or two after your visit (you know what I'm talking about). I've had both major and minor repairs performed there and I will continue to bring all of my future vehicles there until Donald Trump destroys the world.
Excellent, reliable and done in timely manner!
Rudy's has provided friendly, efficient, skilled auto repair and maintenance services for my family for more than 40 years now. I can always count on them.
Fast accommodating service with personable staff.
5 excellent service.Gord explains every thing very clearly there are no surprises when you pick up your vehicle.The staff are always very friendly.It is a pleasure to do business at Rudy's.

Despite February being a short month, the roster gods have somehow managed to squeeze in all of the flights I asked for! It's my "second top" bid, which means I have the second highest chance of getting what I request. Somehow I actually did!
An exciting month ahead with 2 new destinations for me, Zagreb (which I'll be visiting twice!) and Stockholm. I would love to hear any tips or interesting things to see or do in both places!
I haven't been to Cape Town in a while, and as busy as the flight usually is, I know it'll be worth it for the stunning destination. I'm hoping to hike up Lion's Head or perhaps even Table Mountain – anybody have any suggestions?
As for Zurich, I'm sure you guys have seen that pop u on my roster fairly often. It's an easy flight in first class, and a chance for me to relax and eat some good food!
The service refresher is something new that has only been going on for a couple of months, and should be a good way to refresh my knowledge on everything regarding our onboard service.
Hi Rachel. Hope you enjoy the beautiful city of CT but just to let you know the water crisis is indeed very bad.
Hi Dee! Thanks for reading, I had a great layover in Cape Town although far too short! I took plenty of large bottles of water with me from Dubai so avoided using any water at all other than a quick shower. Hopefully things will start getting better soon if they can open a desalination plant.
I'm cabin crew based in Johannesburg. The water crisis is not bad in the part of town (western cape) where you layover. We layover in the same hotel as Emirates in CPT. Go to the Red bus tour website and book yourself the premium package, for a 2 day tour, unless you'll be staying for more days you can book for 3 days to hike up table mountain the whole day. The hotel shuttle will take you for free to where you'll catch it. You'll just take a walk through the mall to the aquarium. Your bus is called "the blue bus". Its a bus you can hop on and off and catch the next one. It goes to the wine estates, table mountain, sea point, a free sunset cruise and many other places. You'll thank yourself for taking this tour!
Thanks so much for the tips! I've actually done the red bus tour (hop-on hop-off) in the past which was great! Sadly we only have 24 hours there but a free sunset cruise and the wine estates do sound very tempting! I might try and get up in time for a sunrise hike if any of the other crew are also up for it!
Yay! Stockholm! I work as cabin crew in Sweden, I've read your blog for a few years. I'm happy you'll get to see Stockholm! Where in the city will you stay? I'd recommend you to see the old town and talk a walk from "slussen", through the old town and to "kungsträdgården", if it's not to cold I would recommend you to walk to "djurgarden" through "strandvagen". It's absolutely lovely to walk through the city when it's sunny and snowy. It's so beautiful. And we have a lot of nice restaurants. For breakfast and brunch I would recommend the restaurant "N38" at nybrovagen 38 or "Pom&flora" at Odengatan.
good to c that u r having new destination . when u have a turnaround and you wish stay there for a day to visit that location. can you do it?
I love Zagreb! My favourite places are Maksimir park and city center. I like The Zagreb Funicular which connects the Ilica Street with Strossmayerovo Promenade. I also recommend Vincek Pastry Shop, also in center. Zrinjevac park is also very beautiful. As I remember, this is all quite close and like Mislav said, it's great for walking if the weather is nice. Enjoy exploring new destinations!
Stockholm is a gorgeous city! You should definitely have a walk around the Old Town (Gamla Stan). Don't miss out on Swedish pastries- cinnamon buns or cardamom buns are a good bet and classic Lenten buns will be available in February. Depending on how much time you have, Stockholm is also full of amazing museums for lots of different interests. Some favorites are the outdoor museum Skansen (if you're up for a stroll and the weather is good) and City Hall (tours hourly). As long as you're dressed warmly you really can't go wrong just walking around- I never get tired of visiting. Enjoy yourself!
That looks like a great roster 🙂 I'm heading to Cape Town in March, so looking forward to hearing about your next trip there, your past blogs on it were great.
Hi Georgia! Thanks, I'm really happy with it for once! Can't wait for my trip to Cape Town, I'm hoping to hike up Lion's Head or Table Mountain 🙂 I've heard a lot about the water crisis although according to a lot of the South African pilots it's not as bad as it sounds and actually happens every year….so we will see!

Hello, world. It's been a while.
Chloe died last year, in a tragic accident. It really hit my family hard, and it still feels like we're only beginning to heal from the trauma of it. Since then, I haven't been able to pick up a hook to crochet a dog sweater.
Blankets, hats, placemats, nothing caused trouble. But something about making dog dresses and sweaters when Chloe was no longer around to be my model and chihuahua guinea pig just tore at me.
Everything changed a couple weeks ago, when we adopted Henry.
Henry is a 13 year old Chihuahua. He is toothless, partially deaf, and has markers for the early stages of liver disease.
He's also only about 3 pounds, and gets cold very easily! This had to be remedied quickly, however, since my muse had always been a girl chihuahua, he had no choice but to prance around in one of Chloe's old sweaters. How emasculating. At least I didn't pick one of the ones with the tutu bottom.
Somehow, Henry healed the part of me that couldn't bear to create another chihuahua sweater. I immediately got to work and made him a nice, manly blue sweater. It was basic and nothing to be impressed by, but, I did it. And it didn't feel wrong or upsetting in any way.
And I can't even tell you how good it feels to finally be back. I plan to begin sharing much more, and even have some exciting ideas for places to take this blog that are different than previous years. I hope you'll stick around and join me!

Welcome to another installment of our featured member interviews where we introduce you to our members—individuals who work to advance ethical research on a daily basis. Over the course of the next few months we will be shining a spotlight on members of the Certified IRB Professional (CIP®) and Certified Professional IACUC Administrator (CPIA®) Councils. Please read on to learn more about their professional experiences and what goes on behind-the-scenes in their lives!
Today we'd like to introduce you to Jamie Gothro, animal welfare officer and IACUC administrator at the VA San Diego Healthcare System.
Maeve Luthin (ML): When and why did you join the field?
Jamie Gothro (JG): I morphed into the world of IACUC as a natural extension of some of my veterinary technology and animal resource duties. I started out being responsible for setting up a training program for animal research personnel, and that led to looking at the qualifications of protocol participants. From there, I started getting more interested and involved in IACUC processes. I especially like the opportunity to see the research studies in their early stages during protocol review, and I enjoy post-approval monitoring, too. I get a chance to see the work in action!
ML: What prompted your interest in joining the CPIA Council, and why did you agree to serve?
JG: The CPIA Council focuses on improving the quality of the administrative staff of the IACUC. There are programs that help promote and advance most of the other careers in the laboratory animal field, but the world of regulations is complex and requires a lot of time and dedication by IACUC staff to keep their institutions on the right side of the laws.

Coalition adopts Emmanuel for second term
By The Nation On Nov 25, 2018
A coalition of human rights, civil society and community based organisations has adopted Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, as its candidate for the 2019 poll.
Its chairman, Rev. Hilkia Elithah, told reporters the coalition arrived at the decision at its 15th plenary session.
Elithah informed that the adoption of the governor was based on his outstanding performance in office.
In the last three and half years, he stated, Emmanuel has maintained peace in the state as well as sustained the free education policy for indigenes in addition to massive industrialisation drive.

Anita Joseph to marriage critics: you will sink first
The coalition added that the governor has also constructed roads, driven employment programmes and revamped the agricultural sector as well as ensured prompt payment of salaries.
Elithah said: "The coalition reasons these developmental milestones are unique and unprecedented since the creation of the state, and as such deserves kudos and the support of well-meaning citizens of the state.
"The coalition, being apolitical by nature, gives its total support to His Excellency, Deacon Udom Gabriel Emmanuel, for the 2019 general elections as a person, considering his score card so far, not his political party or any party for that matter since we do not support political parties but individual performance."
He maintained the coalition, an amalgamation of 25 independent, voluntary NGOs, is aimed at mobilising for promotion and protection of right to lives, transparency, accountability and the rule of rule law.

Kaikoura is a beautiful coastal town offering unique marine wildlife including whales, dolphins, seals and seabirds that reside there year round.
Kaikoura is a beautiful costal town located between Christchurch and Picton. One of the best things about Kaikoura is the unique marine wildlife that resides there year round including whales, dolphins, seals and seabirds. Many of the eco-tourism operators based out of the area offer a unique experience to encounter these animals in their natural environments, including seal swimming, dolphin swimming and whale watching tours.
Ohau Point seal colony is a unique spot where baby seals pups can be seen under a waterfall and swimming in the stream. It is free to go there and is a must see if you are in Kaikoura. Take the Ohau Stream and Waterfall walk to get to the pools to see the cute seal pups at the Ohau Point waterfall.
Alternatively, take a swim with them on a guided seal swimming tour in the gorgeous little bays of the Kaikoura Peninsula. Tours are operated by a local family that grown up in the area since childhood. This is also an experience not to be missed. Tours cater to all experience levels so if you're feeling a little timid you can always just hang out with your guide on a large float board that they provide. If you need more convincing check out the amazing footage this short video – 'Seal swimming in Kaikoura'.
A dolphin swimming tour in Kaikoura is a truly amazing experience to see the dusky dolphins in the wild. The dolphins get very close to you and can be very playful as you snorkel around with the pod. The number of dolphins that are in a pod can vary from 50 to the upwards of 2000 depending on the time of year and tour conditions.
Sperm whales are year round residents that frequent the waters of Kaikoura. At certain times of the year humpback and blue whales may be seen as well as ocra whales. The whales can be viewed by boat or plane tours and the types of whales seen on the tours will be dependent on the time of year.
Kaikoura is a spectacular coastal town filled with some of the best marine wildlife in New Zealand, and a destination that is not to be missed while in New Zealand.

Standing Up To Powerful Interests

New Report Shows Mounting Evidence of Millennials' Shift Away from Driving
Congestion forecasts and government still ignore lasting change in Massachusetts and nationwide
A new report from the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (U.S. PIRG) and Frontier Group shows mounting evidence that the Millennial generation's dramatic shift away from driving is more than temporary. While the 2000s saw a marked decrease in the average number of miles traveled by young Americans, the study explains that those trends appear likely to continue even as the economy improves – in light of the consistency of Millennials' surveyed preferences, a continued reduction of Millennials driving to work, and the continued decreases in per-capita driving among all Americans.
"Millennials are different from their parents, and those differences aren't going away," said Kirstie Pecci, Staff Attorney and Transportation Advocate at MASSPIRG. "After five years of economic growth with stagnant driving, it's time for federal and Massachusetts governments to wake up to growing evidence that Millennials don't want to drive as much as their parents did. This change has big implications and policy makers shouldn't be asleep at the wheel."
"Millennials are trying to send a message to policy-makers: We want convenient, walkable neighborhoods with many options for how to get around," said Tony Dutzik, Senior Analyst at Frontier Group and co-author of the report. "Unfortunately, many of our nation's transportation policies work to ensure just the opposite result."
The report includes many findings that suggest that Millennials' shift away from driving last decade is continuing:
Census data shows that the share of 16 to 24 year-olds traveling to work by car declined by 1.5 percentage points between 2006 and 2013, while the share of young people getting to work by public transportation, on foot or by bicycle, or else working from home, had increased.
Young people aged 20 to 30 are less likely to move from central cities to suburbs than at any time since at least the late 1990s.
Millennials consistently report greater attraction to less driving-intensive lifestyles — urban living, residence in "walkable" communities, and openness to the use of non-driving modes of transport — than older generations.
Fewer young people are getting their driver's licenses than even a few years ago. The percentage of high school seniors with driver's licenses declined from 85 percent to 73 percent between 1996 and 2010, according to the AAA Foundation for Highway Safety, with federal data suggesting that the decline has continued since then.
Millennials are the largest generation in number and they will be the chief users of the transportation investments that get made over the coming decade. Millennials are expected to drive more as they reach the peak-driving years of middle age, but if they drive less (or even no more) than their parents did in middle age, it will be a monumental shift in travel trends since the 1950s and the assumptions underpinning current transportation policy.
"I'm happy to see the data reaffirming what my own personal experience reflects," said John Griese, Boston University senior and a member of the Public Transit, Public Good's U-Pass working group. "There is really a paradigm shift happening in my generation right now. Folks are looking for a way of life that acknowledges and fosters our mutual dependence, rather than isolates and alienates. A huge part of this is favoring environments in which driving is necessary."
Americans drive fewer total miles than we did in 2005, and fewer miles per capita than we did in the mid-1990s. People are riding public transportation more than at any time since the mid-1950s, the number of people working at home continues to surge, and bicycling has become the fastest-growing mode of commuting. Demand for housing and office space in walkable neighborhoods of many cities is outpacing the supply of new construction.
"Young people are beginning to understand the necessity of a transit system that is both sustainable and equitable--one which recognizes that when we face hardship we need institutions that raise us up, rather than limit us. This can be seen in the huge upsurge in student support behind University Pass and Youth Pass programs coming to Boston next year," said Griese.
The report calls on public leaders to rethink their transportation investments to accommodate and encourage the Millennial generation in its desire for less car-intensive lifestyles. This includes greater investment in public transit and biking infrastructure, and using highway funds to repair of existing roads rather than building new are wider highways. State and federal governments should also assist efforts currently being led by cities to encourage walkable communities and innovative uses of technology that connect travelers to more travel options and shared vehicles.
Many transportation leaders have already learned this lesson. Said Jeannette Orsino, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Association of Regional Transit Authorities, "The findings are further evidence that the Massachusetts legislature got it right when they passed the Transportation Improvement law in 2012 . . . Residents throughout the Regional Transit Authority (RTA) communities have seen a increase in public transit funding for needed new service and all the RTAs are engaged in a comprehensive effort to identify service needs for students, seniors and employees. Working together to identify and enhance mobility options and opportunities is a ongoing challenge but one that can be met and accomplished."
U.S. PIRG and the Frontier Group have been leaders in following and explaining the ongoing shift away from driving through a series of reports on the trend, including a study last month of major highway expansion plans that do not make sense in light of these ongoing travel trends.

G'day Mate (Mk III): Stuffed?
An explorer in the deepest Amazon suddenly finds himself surrounded by a bloodthirsty group of natives. Upon surveying the situation, he says quietly to himself, "Oh God, I'm stuffed."
There is a ray of light from heaven and a voice booms out: "No you are NOT stuffed. Pick up that stone at your feet and bash in the head of the chief standing in front of you."
So the explorer picks up the stone and proceeds to bash the living daylights out of the chief.
As he stands above the lifeless body, breathing heavily and surrounded by 100 natives with a look of shock on their faces, God's voice booms out again: "Okay ..... NOW you're stuffed."

Half grown at 32 lbs.
Hello! Here are some recent pictures of Ginger. She weighed 32 lbs yesterday. She is doing well and has the BEST disposition!!
Here is a picture of Max. ... we got him from you at 6 weeks ....what a joy he is.
Baxter, 1 Year old Goldendoodle.
One year ago today we were very lucky to have you send us Baxter. We would like to thank you very much for letting us have him. Boy has he grown in this first year. That little puppy has grown to be 70lbs. Are we glad we asked for the runt.
I have had dogs most of my life and Baxter has to be the smartest dog I have ever had. At times both my wife and I are afraid he is smarted than both of us. He has been a true blessing and we could not think of our lives without him. He goes to work with my wife each day and most days when I get off around 2:00PM, I go get him and bring him home. He gets left along for a few hours on the weekends but 90% of the time he is with one of us. Unfortunately, I have to say he has become a Mommy's dog. If he has to chose between my wife of me, she always wins.
Again, thank for this privilage.
loves the wind in her face.
My name is Teresa Sikes and my husband/son purchased a Labradoodle from you last summer (august). We named her Kloey and LOVE her very much!!! She has kept us very very busy with her silly personality that she has alot of by the way... She has really been a great family dog as she loves us all very much!
"We LOVE Zoey so much!!!! She is the most incredible animal I have ever seen. She wants to talk so badly. She throws her voice way back into her throat trying to make noises like I have never heard before. She loves us so much, is so smart and entirely too beautiful. Everywhere we take her (which is almost everywhere), people ask us about her. Or as they pass us, they say, "That's the kind of dog I want!" She is lovely. Last night I was saying as we were sitting at the table enjoying dinner, "Zoey is the best blessing of 2005 to our family!" We love her, and don't be surprised if someday we are not calling you about another puppy. Thank you for all that you did to turn her into such a lovely pet. We wish you blessings in 2006....It is the Year of the Dog....Johanna and I found great coffee mugs at Mudbay Granary to celebrate with on New Year's Eve. XOXOXOXO"
I was so excited to get your email. We love the labradoodle we got from you last July (?). He was from your litter May 15, 2005. My daughter calls him a dorkadoodle! I had an inspection of my house last week and the inspector took a couple of pictues of him through a window - I'm attaching them for you but will take some better pics soon. He's a BIG boy - I don't know how big they get but he's not even 8 months.
I got a kitten 6 weeks ago and Oscar (the kitten) and Murphy are the best of friends. Luckily it's a very confident cat, but they chase each other (yes, the kitten chases the BIG dog) and are constantly pestering one another.
I'd love to see pics of others from his litter to compare. I'll check your website from time to time.
"Hi Judy, We are honored for you to use Elow's pictures and testimonial on your website.
The first pictures were at approximately 5 months old. I am attaching a couple of other pictures shortly after we got him, I think he would have been about 12 weeks. They are a couple of my favorites. We just adore him!
"Rosie turned one today and I just wanted to thank you again for our great dog. She now weighs about 55 pounds and is built more like a poodle than a golden. She loves all people and dogs. She especially loves children. My brother says she is a diamond in the "ruff".
the world, Im kinda obsessed with her and so is everyone else.
years now and knows her stuff. Everywhere we go she steals the show.
do. She has been a big help in this endeavor.
her with my life issues . . .
would say she has them scattered throughout her body at about 2%.
hope there are more some day. I think there were 11 in her litter.
will be coming to you for a male in about 2 years.
Jenna is about an 18 month old labradoodle.

Siblings prevalent among the victims of…
Siblings prevalent among the victims of predator priests
By The Associated Press and Marc Levy |
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — It took 50 years, until the release of a landmark investigative report, for sisters Mary Robb Jackson and Cynthia Carr Gardner to realize that the parish priest in the Pittsburgh-area suburb where they lived as children had molested both of them, a couple of years apart.
The sisters" discovery — during a long-distance telephone conversation between Massachusetts and Pennsylvania — added theirs to the cases of siblings cited throughout the state grand jury report on the sexual abuse of children by clergy within six Roman Catholic dioceses in Pennsylvania.
The nearly 900-page report, released Aug. 14 after a two-year investigation, cited at least two dozen sets of siblings victimized by clergy among the scores of abuse cases it documented going back to the 1940s. Two of the cases involved five siblings.
Clergy members often won the trust of parents before going on to molest siblings, sometimes in a home while parents were present, sometimes on trips with the children, the report said. The priests then parlayed that trust into leverage against children, who were afraid to say no to an authority figure trusted by their parents.
The predator priests often warned their victims to keep quiet. That and shame often kept victims quiet and unaware of their siblings" trauma for years; some spoke up more quickly.
Jackson did eventually complain to her mother, a devout Roman Catholic, about the Rev. Lawrence O"Connell"s abuse, which consisted of groping and kissing while she performed office tasks in the St. Gabriel parish house practically next door as part of an after-school job. Her mother promptly ended the after-school job, Jackson said.
Jackson went off to college, and the girls" mother died suddenly. O"Connell soon invited Gardner — who was 11 or 12 at the time and lived with their father — to spend her afternoons doing office tasks in the parish house, and went on to molest her, Gardner said.
Jackson, away at college, never knew that O"Connell had invited Gardner in, she said. Neither Jackson nor her mother had said anything to the other family members about O"Connell, and neither Gardner nor her father had any reason to refuse a job offer from a man who had bestowed gifts on the girls, including trips to the Ice Capades and the circus.
"Was it calculated? I don"t understand that kind of mindset. But, if it was, that"s just pure evil," Gardner, now 63, said. "That"s pure evil calculation if you take advantage of a family who"s had a horrific life event and you prey on the younger version of the sibling."
O"Connell died in 1986.
Child sex abuse cases in which the victims are siblings are more common when the predator is part of an organized religion, said Ben Andreozzi, a lawyer who has represented victims of Catholic clergy and of Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach now serving a long prison sentence.
"Parents will at times unknowingly legitimize the perpetrator to the children," Andreozzi said. "In other words, the parents will bring them into the home, they"ll break bread with the religious figure and hold that religious figure out to the children as someone they can trust. And that religious figure will use that as an opportunity to access the children."
In one case documented in the report, five siblings — brothers and sisters — were allegedly victimized in the 1970s by a seminarian, and three of them by a priest at St. Brigid in Meadville in northwestern Pennsylvania.
"The survivors reported that they were poor, dysfunctional, and dependent upon the diocese for their mother"s employment at St. Brigid parish," the grand jury report said. "Furthermore, the parents were befriended by the abusers and the family would often invite them over to engage in drinking parties."
Once the parents were drunk and distracted, the abusers would molest or rape the children in the home, and threaten them against telling their parents, the report said.
In another case, two brothers testified that a priest at Mother of Sorrows school in Murrysville in western Pennsylvania molested them in the early 1980s in in their bedrooms while praying before going to bed and on trips the family invited the priest to join.
The parents discovered what was going on when one of the boys screamed at the priest, but the boys had otherwise been afraid to say anything because their parents liked the priest so much, the report said.
The report cites other accusers who are now adults — including one woman in a 2004 lawsuit — saying they had performed sex acts on O"Connell as girls.
Gardner, who lives in Massachusetts, called her sister in suburban Pittsburgh when she realized O"Connell was in the report. In that conversation, they discovered they"d both been abused by O"Connell, although Gardner thought she had mentioned it years earlier.
"She told me she had been haunted by it when we finally had the conversation about it," said Jackson, now 70.
At the parish house, Gardner tried to ward off O"Connell"s groping hands and reject his invitations to go somewhere private. She walked out for good after he forced a kiss on her, she said.
The Associated Press does not name victims of sexual abuse without their consent. Gardner decided to speak publicly to add her voice to the others victimized by O"Connell, she said.
Jackson — who had quietly reported her own story to the Pittsburgh Diocese after hearing of the 2004 lawsuit — decided to speak publicly now out of anger that O"Connell had targeted her younger sister.
"That"s what made me so sad and so angry," Jackson said. "I never knew."

Nearly $200K raised through Walks for Justice on National Pro Bono Day 2018
National Pro Bono Day, falling on Tuesday 15 May this year, celebrated the role and contribution of pro bono legal work in Australia. Lawyers in Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia participated in Walks for Justice, while law firms ran events and several signatories to the National Pro Bono Aspirational Target recorded a short video to mark the occasion.
So far, the Walks in nine locations across three states have raised an impressive $196,663 (and counting!) in funds for the important work of clearing houses in their state. This exceeds last year's record of $173,299. And there's still time to donate before the end of the financial year – see below for links.
Queensland Legal Walk
Clockwise from left: Walkers in Cairns, Townsville, Gold Coast and Brisbane. Photos supplied.
One thousand members of the legal community raised over $97,000 in the Queensland Legal Walk on Tuesday 15 May (National Pro Bono Day) as part of Law Week. Events were held in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville, Toowoomba, Mackay, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
The annual event is hosted by LawRight and was well supported by the judiciary, the private profession and barristers, DJAG, Legal Aid Queensland, QLS, the Bar Association of Queensland and district legal associations, along with CLCs from across the state.
The Walk raises money for LawRight services and for the Disbursement Fund, which helps clients of pro bono lawyers and CLCs to cover the disbursements associated with their legal matter.
The Walk in Brisbane was led by the President of the Court of Appeal, the Hon. Walter Sofronoff QC and the Hon. Yvette D'Ath MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister for Training and Skills.

Donations can be made at http://www.qldlegalwalk.org.au/ and remain open until 30 June.
You can also support former LawRight volunteer Bianca Tracy who is running the Gold Coast Marathon in support of LawRight on 1 July. Her fundraising page is here: https://gcam2018.everydayhero.com/au/running-for-justice.
SA Walk for Justice
For the year sixth year in a row, Lipman Karas won the Walk for Justice Cup for raising the most funds as a team. This year the team raised $6928 (with that amount still rising).
His Excellency The Honourable Chris Kourakis QC presents the Justice Cup to Lipman Karas's team captain.

The Adelaide University Student Association won the Walk for Justice Shield for the most funds raised by a student team raising a total of $3438.
The total raised for Law Access WA stands at $57,414 but there is still time to donate as the cause will remain open until 31 May 2018: https://www.mycause.com.au/events/walkforjustice.
The Hon. Vickie Chapman, Deputy Premier and Attorney-General opened the walk. "I'm proud to have been involved with this walk for several years now, joining representatives of the legal profession and justice system to raise funds to help low-income and disadvantaged South Australians," she said.

Chris Kourakis QC, Supreme Court judge; The Hon. Mark Parnell MLC, Greens Parliamentary Leader; Rachel Sanderson, Liberal MP; The Hon. Connie Bonaros MLC, Greens senator.
WA Walk for Justice
WA's third Walk for Justice was the biggest yet, with over 450 lawyers participating, led by several distinguished state judges and professional association presidents.
The walkers enjoyed great sunny weather in Perth, and the 4.4 km walk along the CBD foreshore to Point Fraser and back were rewarded with a special South Indian breakfast courtesy of Annalakshmi Restaurant. The Hon. Wayne Martin AC, Chief Justice of Western Australia, delivered the opening address and cut the ribbon.
Dominique Hansen, CEO of Law Access WA and a director on the Centre's Board said, "It was fantastic to see so many people come together to celebrate the achievements of the WA pro bono community while shining a light on the justice gap."
The LawAccess event was featured in this Lawyers Weekly article. Adam Ebell, Law Access's Chairperson, drew attention to the crucial role that the clearing house plays in pro bono and access to justice.
"Law Access assists some of the most vulnerable people in WA, who would otherwise be unable to obtain legal assistance," Adam explained. "We receive requests for assistance from all over the State, and in all areas of the law, and match those who will most benefit from legal assistance, with lawyers willing to provide pro bono assistance. Law Access allows scarce pro bono resources to be utilised in the most effective way possible, benefiting both applicants and the profession."
The Hon. Wayne Martin AC, Chief Justice of Western Australia, delivers the opening address.
So far donors have given a generous $42,219 in total. Donations can still be made until 30 June 2018 via the event website: https://www.mycause.com.au/events/lawaccesswalkforjustice.
The Centre was pleased to participate in Hall & Wilcox's panel discussion on why we do pro bono. The firm also joined other signatories to the National Pro Bono Aspirational Target in celebrating their pro bono contribution in this 1-minute video: https://t.co/mCcfJqAET1.
Meanwhile in Melbourne, Lander & Rogers hosted a pro bono expo for their staff, showcasing and celebrating the firm's pro bono partnerships and helping to raise awareness, knowledge and participation among the firm's lawyers. The day included a screening this short clip of Jo Renkin, the firm's Head of Pro Bono and Community Engagement.
We are encouraged by the way that pro bono is growing and developing in Australia. Following the tenth anniversary of the Target, there will be some amendments made to the definition – watch this space!

"Were you born in a barn?" was a question irritated adults used to ask during our childhood, if we left a door open and the cold came inside. The question probably didn't have a specific barn in mind: certainly not the barn you find 200 yards down a turning, near the war memorial, in the small Oxfordshire village of Drayton St Leonard. This barn – as we discovered on a snowy March afternoon – is the custodian of one of the greatest motoring marques of them all.
Now, with the Aston Martin brand firmly associated with luxury cars, you can get up close to some of its history here. There's the A3, the oldest Aston Martin in existence, dating back to 1921 and as charming a piece of heritage as you could find. Or you can sit in a Vanquish Volante, a recent joint venture with Red Bull. Just to give a bit of Top Gear madness to the idea, there's a video of Daniel Riccardo racing his fellow F1 drivers around the track in Austria… while towing a caravan. Collectors of toy cars will find countless examples of model Aston Martins, and there are various racing overalls, trophies and other items – careful you don't trip over the engine sitting, top-heavy, at one end of the museum.
There is an explanation of how Sean Connery ended up driving a DB5, complete with ejector seat, machine guns and revolving number plates, but you won't find the car itself – not a full-scale version, anyway – or 007. As Bond tends to cause havoc wherever he goes, perhaps it's just as well for the barn and everything inside that he isn't here. We like to imagine that, before things got nasty, he might have taken Goldfinger for a spin in his pride and joy.

H&A star Tammin Sursok reveals why she 'doesn't feel any less Australian' despite speaking with an American accent
She has acquired an American twang after living in Los Angeles for 15 years.
Despite having fully lost her original accent, Australian actress Tammin Sursok claims she 'doesn't feel any less Australian.'
During an Instagram Q&A on Thursday, the former Home and Away star, 38, was asked if she was sad about losing her accent.
'I don't feel any less Australian,' Tammin replied. 'Others feel sad though and mention it a lot.'
Tammin's evolving accent has gotten a lot of attention over the years, with fans noticing how she has acquired the voice she employs on American TV series in her everyday life.
The Pretty Little Liars actor has always said that she speaks naturally because she has spent much of her adult life in America.
Another fan inquired if she was considering relocating her family to Australia permanently during the same Q&A on Thursday.
'We are in the process of figuring out how to live in both places Australia/USA 50/50,' Tammin responded.
'We have friends that do it so we are working towards that as we speak.'
Tammin moved back to Australia a few months ago after spending years in Los Angeles with her husband, film producer Sean McEwen, and their kids, Phoenix, seven, and Lennon, two.
During an appearance on Today Extra last month, she showed interest in relocating to Australia, saying, 'My husband and I keep saying we're coming back to Australia to share our time in both two locations.'
'And because of work we were in LA, but I feel like… we're meant to be here.'
'I came here [Queensland] for a film, but then the borders closed and it's been amazing.'
Her family had 'been in Queensland for about six months,' she claimed, and her children, who were enrolled in a local school, were enjoying themselves.
