Beautiful Boxer puppy needs a good loving forever home.

Beautiful Boxer puppy needs a good loving forever home. She's in the Kentucky area, so if you're in that part of the country and are considering a fun companion, consider her. Originally shared by Kay Holland Meet Lucky. My friends found her wandering around their field a couple weeks ago and are trying to find her a good home. The vet said she'd probably been on her own at least two weeks. She's about 9 months to a year old, house and crate trained, mostly has sit and lay down learned, and is really friendly and smart. She likes going on walks and gets along fairly well with other animals. She's been fixed, and appears to be up to date on her shots. Now, she is still a puppy. She has the puppy eagerness and enthusiasm, and will still pull on the leash if you don't establish the rules quickly. She's mostly learned that cats are friends instead of food or toys, although some initial issues may still pop up as she gets used to them. They have not tested her ar

#ThanksObama has become somewhat of a sardonic meme in modern times right alongside with #firstworldproblems.

I didn't think of it like this, but Eli Fennell​ did and you should take a moment to read his words. They make sense. Of course, by only following a collection you're only getting a vary narrow view of someone's personality which, in my opinion, will make true friendships harder to find and cultivate. Originally shared by Eli Fennell But They're Stripping Out People! I keep hearing this from people accustomed to the old G+ who are struggling with the new one. It's one of those statements that sounds so seemingly logical it goes as an assumption... but like many assumptions, it is itself rooted in false assumptions. [Puts On Psychology Hat] Now, I get it, you have formed some amazing connections on Google+. Maybe you've developed an ongoing dialogue with people you like; maybe you've HIRL'd; maybe you've become fast friends outside and beyond the web. Hey, I have!

<== Dummy of the Day Award goes to this guy!

<== Dummy of the Day Award goes to this guy! Had a job interview scheduled for Friday that was postponed until today. Cool, right? Woke this morning, got dressed and drove the 30+ miles to into the interview, completely forgetting what week this was and so my buffer window of time was pointless. I arrived an hour early. Okay, whatever. I sat in the parking lot until 15 before the scheduled time, walked in and checked in with the receptionist. Back on track. She calls the guy I'm to interview with and hands me the phone. He's two hours in the other direction. Apparently, when he rescheduled for Tuesday morning I replied, "Sure Wednesday's fine. See you then." So, he adjusted his calendar to Wednesday. And I was a whole 24 hours early. Oops. It's a damned good thing I'm pretty.

Jeez, it's almost like the scope of the problem ISIS represents is far too complex to boil down to a Facebook status. Go figure. The other day I commented on someone's "meme" post about how a few words over a picture is a very simple and naïve understanding of the subject matter. Actually, I've said this a few times over the years. It seems to anyone with half a brain that you can't simplify a religio-political conflict into a picture with a few words emblazoned over it. Which is one of the reasons you'll never see me share a "meme."

As a (sometimes) writer I have to admit, flash should never outshine the substance, especially in SciFi, which, sadly, is an easy fallback for Hollywood. That means, the story - the characters - should always be more important than special effects. In other words, SFX should never outshine the story itself. In my opinion, George Lucas forgot this with the prequels. He was so interested in the latest and greatest digital effects that he wrote wooden dialogue which, coupled with his terrible directing, destroyed that galaxy far, far away. We can't forget Lucas created the StarWars universe, the Force, Jedi and Sith in the first place and the story is an epic one, but his execution was poor (in the prequels). I read somewhere recently that Lucas claims his favorite character is the much maligned Jar Jar Binks ( http://time.com/4119022/george-lucas-revealed-favorite-star-wars-character-jar-jar-binks/ ). That should tell you everything you need to know about Lucas.  http://collider.com

How many cops does Santa Monica have that it can justify sending 16 to 19 for a single call?

Some much needed features for Google Photos. Yay! Originally shared by John Elstone We have two features that will begin rolling out on Android today: Helping users free up storage space on their Android device: On the Settings screen, users will now see a “Free Up Space” button. Clicking on the button will prompt the user to bulk-delete copies of photos that have already been backed up from their device. To prevent device copies from being accidentally deleted, we’re asking users to double-confirm their intent during the ‘Free Up Space’ flow. Users who are backing up their photos in High quality may now also receive an Assistant card prompting them to bulk delete device copies when they’re nearing the storage limit on their devices (currently only users who are backing up at Original quality receive these cards).

Really cool video about what it's like flying inside the cockpit of a Blue Angels formation. You should note: watching this video is best done with a VR headset or at the very least, on mobile while on your feet. It's 360. It's awesome. via Jason Odell  Originally shared by Michael Bonocore This video is so damn cool.

Seems the [insert pejorative here] over at ISIS hates the term "Daesh." So, let's all start referring to them as Daesh. Originally shared by Bodhipaksa So, "Daesh" it is... Not more Isis. "The full name [of ISIS] in Arabic is transliterated like this: al-Dawla al-Islamiya fi Iraq wa al-Sham — which produces the acronym DAIISH (usually spelled Daesh in English). That sounds an awful lot like the Arabic word "dahes," which the Guardian translates as "one who sows discord." ISIS kind of hates this insulting connotation, and so banned the name "Daesh" in its territory." http://www.vox.com/2015/11/14/9734894/daesh-isis-isil
