After only two foundations were complete, the company let go of half the contractors, citing “unnecessary labor.”</p> <p>The union says Sizemore is running the workers ragged, expecting the same results and speed from half the team.</p> <p>“The work will end up being shoddy” says Jim Rockland, a union representative. “I wouldn’t want to live in a shoddy house, and I don’t expect Sizemore’s clients to either.”</p> <p><em>Submitted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Donnamarynicholls">Donna Mary Nicholls</a>.</em></p> </blockquote>http://jeri-grl.tumblr.com/post/19055087048http://jeri-grl.tumblr.com/post/19055087048Sat, 10 Mar 2012 08:31:31 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0l53qVyGR1qmkxx9o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0l53qVyGR1qmkxx9o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://discoverynews.tumblr.com/post/19001143921/when-people-fled-fukushima-and-other-parts-of">discoverynews</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>When people fled Fukushima and other parts of Japan a year ago, thousands of pets were left behind. While many pets have since been reunited with their owners, a horrific situation still exists in the no-go 12.5-mile radiation zone around the damaged nuclear plants. <br/><br/>There, homeless dogs and cats are still wandering around the area, according to World Vets founder and CEO Cathy King. She told Discovery News that  “a lot of these animals have since been rescued out, but some remain.”<br/><br/>The problem demonstrates how difficult recovery has been after the 9.0 magnitude earthquake that struck off the northeast coast of Japan on March 11, 2011. <br/><br/>The resulting tsunami and nuclear woes devastated the area. Animal support teams from all over the world descended upon the region and are still trying to improve the situation.</p> <p>More images and information about the rescue efforts<a href="http://news.discovery.com/animals/pets-fukushima-120308.html"> here</a></p> </blockquote> <p>So sad</p>http://jeri-grl.tumblr.com/post/19002141706http://jeri-grl.tumblr.com/post/19002141706Fri, 09 Mar 2012 09:42:53 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0apq7GpdH1qzy3cwo1_400.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0apq7GpdH1qzy3cwo2_400.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0apq7GpdH1qzy3cwo4_400.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0apq7GpdH1qzy3cwo3_400.png"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://chels.tumblr.com/post/18864496466/loveallthis-how-adorable-is-maddie-on-things" class="tumblr_blog">chels</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://loveallthis.tumblr.com/post/18864136096">loveallthis</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>How adorable is <a href="http://maddieonthings.com/">Maddie on Things</a> (“a super serious project about dogs and physics”)?</p> </blockquote> <p>Seriously.
