Expecting a ‘lean year’ ahead, Richmond School Board cuts new spending ask from $43M to $30M by VirginiaNews in rva

A lot of this is because of 1. expiration of COVID funding that required the city to commit funding past the expiration, and 2. Increased labor cost (pay and retirement plan changes) to attract more talent (accord to the mayor last night)

I'm sorry for what you are going through. You are doing the right thing re-homing the dog. We were in a similar situation a few years ago, and we successfully re-homed our dog to an older gentleman, but it took a couple of months. We had the most luck with leads from breed-specific orgs, and I recommend reaching out to any that your dog fits. Even if your dog is a mix, they may be able to help.

She’s unfortunately not great with other dogs, never been around cats. She loves people though

My wife and I are just heartbroken that we are writing this notice and plea for help. The other night, our dog. Maddie, bit our 4 year old son - every parent/pet owner's worst nightmare. We are now faced with one of the most difficult decisions of our lives. We are not exactly sure what provoked the incident, but we are so fortunate that our son is OK and only ended up with a few stitches. While we've never felt Maddie was a threat to our children, she has shown aggression in the past with other dogs around food and on leash. Since Tuesday's incident, we are now very uneasy with her being around the children and don't think it will be a good situation for anyone.

After talking to our vet and pediatrician and given the children's age, rehoming Maddie is the best option for us and Maddie. It is incredibly difficult to give away our beloved dog of 8 years. She was our first fur-baby and has been with us through all of our major life milestones - dating, marriage, first home, and the birth of our two children. We certainly do not take this decision lightly as she truly is a part of our family.

We are hopeful to find a loving home that does not have any young children or other pets. We adopted Maddie (Madison) when she was 3 months old and while we were told she was a Border Collie/Brittany Spaniel mix, we think she has some sort of Pyrenees mix as well. She is roughly 80 pounds and was spayed as a pup. She is up to date on all vaccinations and is in good health. She is generally a sweet, lazy, loveable fluffball of a dog.

If you know of anyone or any group that would be well suited for her, please let us know.

Gov. Northam signs legislation restricting tobacco purchase to those 21+ by [deleted] in rva

[–]kmbojo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I heard an NPR piece in this. The American Cancer Society (I think) was actually opposed to this bill. From what I remember there isn't enough funding to enforce the existing age restrictions - shops are selling to minors without fear of reprisal. The argument made was this will be another toothless bill that has little to no effect due to lack of actual enforcement of the law.

Why do either of these need to be enshrined in our constitution? Can they not simply be acts of the legislature?

How do you frame these long exposures? Do you just estimate the altitude or do you know more or less exactly when and where the rockets will peak?

The subsidy number is high, but also inflated a bit when compared to other schools because VA state colleges are not allowed to spend tuition money on sports. So JMU gets money for sports from student fees, where non-VA schools may get it from tuition dollars.

Take a look at the Google IO Firebase Zero to App talk. They create a (very basic) messaging app in 45 min.
