Building Plans

NYC Housing has issued new policies concerning dogs, now they can't exceed 25lbs., nor can they be pure or mixed bred pit bulls, dobermans or rotties. Existing animals must be registered by 4-30 to be grandfathered-in.

Much of this comes down to a very basic idea: that people, regardless of race or economic circumstance should be responsible for not only their own behaviour, but that of their pets and children (not likening the two here). Dogs hate cats, regardless of breed, that's usually a given, but the owner allowing it to kill the cat and not intervening is inexcusable. And if the excuse is that he couldn't stop the attack then that's a much more serious problem that should pose questions about this person's right, again regardless of breed, to own a dog.

I'm amazed after the countless incidents of pitbulls attacking people, animals and inanimate objects that no legislation has come out of our overpaid and underworked city council on dealing with this nonsense. Maybe they can rename a street after the dead cat.

She says her dog stays home, does that mean it never goes outside to use the doggie-potty? Nor gets any exercise other than running away from her rug rat for fear of its own safety?

Hadassa (spelling?) is/was the owner, and I believe this is still the case, unless she's a lawyer it's not legal for a broker to prepare a contract of sale...

Perhaps it will that Scotish chain, Hagus King?

Those quotes look like some serious wishful thinking.

So Brooklyn Bridge sold exactly one townhouse in 2008?

"A bonus check for being rich"? I'll have to tell the 82 year-old widow living on social sercurity who lives next door to me that she's rich and stop faking her poor economic standing...how dare she!!!

So are all the normally law abiding citizens when suddenly faced with economic difficulties going to take-up arms and start robbing eachother?

And for those constant-cell-phone-talkers: who is it that you are incessantly speaking with? I curse those unlimited minutes!!!

I used Aura a few weeks back and was very please with the coverage and how quickly it dried (about a half-hour). I think it's definately worth the extra cost. I painted a light green over a purple (a child's room) without a primer, applied two-coats and was really please with the outcome.
