But some people are okay to approach him right away.

Paint Girl, Your Aussies are adorable! Glad to hear my Huckleberry is like yours and not abnormal. I will want another one like him someday and I was afraid they'd all be hyper or weird. :)

Tracey, I don't know how Huckleberry would do with that kind of temptation. Well, maybe I do. He's been run over by my son on the bike, so I think he learned his lesson there. I'm so glad we don't live near the road though. That might be way too much temptation. So far he hasn't left the property on his own, but every now and then he will range farther out in our hayground than I like.Andrea -Mustang Sagahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-86039206955697054422010-03-10T22:43:06.868-08:002010-03-10T22:43:06.868-08:00I sold my aussie back to her breeder.

So very talented...but I'm a hobbyist at best, so while I wanted to compete at some level, I couldn't even bring her outside to do chores with me because she was 'on' all the time.

We do live in the country, but we've got enough bikers on our road (thanks to the college who sponsors a race through our valley each spring) to create far too much temptation for any dog with some herding drive. Since we couldn't afford to fence off the entire front with dog safe fencing...well, away she went before either she hurt someone, or someone hurt her.

Definitely a dog you need to be aware of potential problems with; especially for some poorly bred (re: backyard, inexpensive) 'look at the bargain I got' dogs.

Thanks for the Soxy update, too!Traceyhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-14868403.post-38475740813386534932010-03-10T22:16:06.186-08:002010-03-10T22:16:06.186-08:00Your Aussie sounds exactly like my Bailey!

He also has to have a human hand in his mouth, poke us in the legs and butt with his nose, run circles around us and he absolutely adores everyone! Sadie is my insecure Aussie, she has some insecurity, dominance, anxious issues that I have been dealing with for a couple years, it has taken a lot of work on my part, but she has made great strides in the last year. She is definitely the wiggle worm, protective one.
I absolutely love the breed, and I think this is the breed we will stick with for a long time. Aussie's definitely need room to run, and you are right on about people not getting this breed if they live in an apartment/city, unless they are very active.
They totally keep us on our toes!!
All breeds of dogs (although some more so then others) can sense when someone isn't a real animal lover or sense when someone might be fearful of dogs. That could be why your Aussie is a little indifferent towards some people.

Keep up the good work
I have used this location many times, and have noticed a great improvement in staff and service. They are polite, sincere, and with an attitude to help. Please pass on praises ... and raises !!! Thank you
Excellent service. Reserved equipment not availabe and accommodated in a customer focused and professional manner. Previous Penske customer and I am truly impressed with U-Haul professionalism.
Jacob was pleasant, professional and efficient
Great customer service. Employees were knowledgeable, polite and very helpful.
When I book my truck by phone from the national center they quoted me a price of 99 cents per mile. When I picked up my truck they said the milagevcharge was $1.19 per mile.
everyone excellent
Make sure you have enough customer rep to assist the customers. You should have line for those of us that took the time to pre-register.
This location is the best!
Great place. Good employees and clean l9c5ation. I even got a storage unit here.
I would just recommend on Saturdays that you have more employees working to cut down on the lines.
More help at the site would be great. I waited over 30 minutes to get the truck before I finally went and got it myself as I couldn't wait any longer due to people waiting for me. Because of this the gas and mileage was not varified. When returning the truck I paid for mileage I didn't even use and the truck only had an 1/8 of a tank opposed to the 3/8 that the sheet said it had. So I had to spend additional on gas. Also the mirrors on both sides of the truck were damaged and glued in place causing them to be not adjustable. This was a bit if a safety hazard. All in all it was not a good experience and when I get my next truck I will more then likely go somewhere else or another company. Needless to say I am very dissatisfied.
Anthony was really helpful this morning in making sure my truck was pulled put and ready to go. He went over my mileage and gas with me to make sure I fully understood the contract. Even though this location was out of my way, the customer service will make me return. The whole staff was wondering this morning. I was the first customer and was in and out in less the 30m.
Thanks for all you do!
I want to thank 501 s capital store for finding me a truck after what happen to the church and also the great job they did at the central ave store for the service.
The staff here are so good I will be returning
Keep up the good work :)
When making the reservations Ms. Darnisha failed to mentioned when I inquired about a one way that some of them are not open on Sundays. The morning of the representative provided us with a location in Baltimore. When asked "in case it was closed do they have a drop off box. She indicated, "yes". We received a call from the Baltimore location and was told we had to drop it off at the Exxon Station because the location she gave us was not open on Sundays. Out of all the trucks parked at this location, why did we get the truck with graffiti written all over it? I will comment on this survey again, once I receive my credit. I'm debating if I would recommend this facility. Improvement: better knowledge of the store policy and procedures.
keep prices and charges in line with other u-haul locations.
The agent called me two days prior to pick up date to confirm a pick up time, I had told her 5 pm she then statwd if the truck was not picked up by 6 pm we would loose the reservation. Then when we went to pick up the truck at 5 pm they told me they had rented it to someone else because we didnt pick it up by 11 am. Made me wait two hours until the truck was returned. Worst customer service ever experienced. Then they mistakenly changed my contract from one way to round trip which I was able to get fixed over the phone via the 800 num
I have no suggestions, because the rental transaction was handled courteously and efficiently and expeditiously! The staff was friendly and polite. Thank you for such great service!
At .99 cents per mile is a little steep for a F150 pick up
Made a reservation for 17 footer the guy said my vehicle was not there.
I love the staff here!! They are ALWAYS pleasant and attentive to my needs. Customer service is their number one priority and it shows!! Satisfied loyal customer!!
the customer service was great, I got in and out within 10min.

Jennifer Lopez works hard for her money.
Featured in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan, the returning American Idol judge says she was insecure for a long time before finally realizing that her career is a success, "not a fluke." She added of her change in attitude:
"I'm not a mistake – I work my ass off. And I know what I'm doing."
But that doesn't mean there aren't missteps along the way.

Ford GAA engine
|Ford GAA
|Ford Motor Company
|1940 - 1950
|Combustion chamber
|1,100 cu in (18.0 L)
|Cylinder bore
|5.4 in (137 mm)
|Piston stroke
|6.0 in (152 mm)
|Compression ratio
|Fuel system
|Naturally aspirated (i.e., unsupercharged), Stromberg NA-Y5-G carburetors[1]
|Fuel type
|Power output
|450 hp (336 kW) @ 2600 rpm
The Ford GAA engine is an all-aluminum, 32 valve, DOHC, 60-degree V8 engine produced by the Ford Motor Company during World War II. It featured twin Stromberg NA-Y5-G carburetors,[2] dual magnetos and twin spark plugs making up a full dual ignition system,[2] and crossflow induction.[3]
The GAA was used to power several models and derivatives of the M4A3 Sherman tank. The engine displaces 1,100 cu in (18 l) and puts out over 1000 ft lbs of torque from idle to 2600 rpm. Maximum rated horsepower was 525@2800 rpm though most models were rated at 450HP.
Immediately preceding World War II, Ford developed an aircraft engine similar to that of the Rolls-Royce Merlin and Allison engines of that era. It was a 60 degree V-12 with aluminum block and head, dual overhead camshaft, and 4 valves per cylinder. The intention of this design was to help Ford break into the anticipated large market for fighter engines. This engine was built to typical aircraft standards: it was light, high performance, and highly reliable.[citation needed] Everything was safety wired or staked with close attention to detail on every part. Available information suggests this design performed well[citation needed].
However, this engine never went into production as an aircraft engine due to the US Navy's decision to only use radial engines for its aircraft, and the Army's contractual commitments to existing engine manufacturers.
With the approach of war, increasing orders for the M4 tanks were causing supply issues with the existing engine. The U.S. Army decided they needed to source an engine supplier, so Ford removed 4 cylinders from the design and it went into production as a V-8.
- The GAA was used in the M4A3 (1,690), M4A3(75)W (3,071), M4A3(76)W (1,400), M4A3 (105) (500), M4A3E2 (254), M4A3(76)W HVSS (3,142), M4A3(105) HVSS (2,539), M10A1 (1,413), and M7B1 (826).
- The Ford GAF powered the M26 (2,222), M26A1, T95, and M45 (185).
- The Ford GAN, powered the T23 (248) and M4A3E2 (254).
- In order to meet the need for a larger engine, Ford resurrected the V-12 as the GAC, which produced 770 hp and powered the T29 (6).
- A number of M74 tank recovery vehicles were rebuilt from M4A3s, which used the GAA.[4]

Search ends successfully for missing hikers on Mount Lafayette
FRANCONIA - Two Canadian hikers missing on Mount Lafayette since Sunday afternoon in extreme winter conditions were rescued by searchers Monday afternoon.
New Hampshire Fish and Game Department Conservation Officers, The New Hampshire Army National Guard and members of Mountain Rescue Service and Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue Teams searched throughout the day and night after receiving an emergency locator beacon activation distress signal.
The search effort began Sunday evening after a call was received by N.H. State Police Troop F advising they had received notification of a personal location device activation in the area of Mount Lafayette.
The location device is registered to Bruno Boutin, 26, of Sherbrooke, Quebec. Boutin and hiking companion Denny Daigle left Sherbrooke at 6 a.m. Sunday, traveling to New Hampshire to hike Mount Lafayette.
The beacon is a device that, when activated, transmits a distress signal and provides coordinates to rescuers to help expedite a rescue effort.
Searchers worked throughout the night in extreme winter conditions and very difficult terrain. Sub-zero temperatures, high winds and drifting snow complicated search efforts.
Additional search teams deployed Monday morning along with a Blackhawk helicopter and crew from the N.H. Army National Guard. Shortly after noon, the helicopter team spotted the hikers who were well off the trail in the Lafayette Brook drainage approximately 1.5 miles up hill from Interstate 93 (Franconia Notch Parkway). The men were hoisted into the helicopter from difficult terrain marked by deep snow and dense spruce cover. While exhausted from the ordeal, both hikers were unharmed.
According to Conservation Officer Lt. James Goss, the men were reported to be well equipped for winter conditions. They had hiked to the summit of Mount Lafayette where they encountered severe winds and blowing snow. They lost the trail and descended into the Lafayette Brook drainage. Due to the extreme conditions and the difficult terrain, they made the decision to activate their beacon. They then prepared as best they could to spend the night in the frigid conditions and stay as warm as possible.

Did you know that the CDC recommends that everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 get tested for HIV at least once, and that people who are sexually active get tested at least once a year?

People are suffering and dying because it has become fashionable in the anti-science circles to deny the truth. The truth is that vaccinations save lives and reduce human misery. The truth is that the diseases our great-grandparents knew are still out there, and we should not be playing chicken with them. Don't be afraid. Get vaccinated. We already know how to protect ourselves. We can stop the next outbreaks of scarlet fever, rubella, diphtheria and so many other miserable and deadly diseases before they even start. We just need to stop listening to people who don't "believe" in science. Because the thing about science is that it's real and true whether people want to believe it or not.

Mers virus: US confirms second 'imported' case
Health officials have confirmed a second US case of Mers, a virus which has killed more than 100 people.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said the second case had been "imported", meaning a traveller to the US contracted the virus elsewhere.
Middle East respiratory syndrome (Mers) is highly lethal and causes symptoms including fever and kidney failure.
The patient in the first confirmed case has been released from hospital, which says he is "fully recovered".
The latest case occurred in Florida, US health officials said. A press conference is scheduled for Monday afternoon.
CDC officials said the man in the first US case was a citizen who was travelling to Indiana from Saudi Arabia, where he is a healthcare worker.
He flew to Chicago from Saudi Arabia via London, and took a bus from Chicago to Indiana, where he was admitted to hospital.
Saudi Arabia says more than 130 people infected with Mers have died since an outbreak began in 2012.
On Sunday, the country urged its citizens to wear masks and gloves when dealing with camels so as to avoid spreading Mers.
Mers belongs to the coronavirus family that includes the common cold and Sars, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, which caused some 800 deaths globally in 2003.
Health officials say it is not highly contagious, only appearing to spread through close contact, but there is no known cure.
(From BBC News)
For many low-income, rural Americans, healthcare needs are still not being met.
I'd argue that the same is true for urban residents. Okay, all Americans.

The world can however afford to pay for general practitioners bssic dentistry and maybe orthopedic bonesetting (care of broken limbs and hips) to all seven billion passengers on spaceship Earth!!!!
I am not a Maoist but at least Chairman Mao was honest to his followers that luxury heathcare does not add up, which was why he developed his barefoot doctor policy. Unfortunately this got paired with the one child policy, now proven to be a misguided disaster ...
I apologise for the spelling errors recently ... I must really learn to copy and paste from Word for Windows!
I stand chided!
A ninety year old American getting their heart-lung transplant, say, with ten years of anti-rejection drugs ... means that an African doesn't get their two dollar vacination for smallpox, say, or malaria or what have you.
Why does a an 90 year old american getting a heart lung transport mean an african does not get there small pox vacine.
This supoosed that in world there is a set amount of money that can only be used for health care that is ring fenced.
You could say that subizing an american to go a free high school means an african does not get health care. Paying for the president to have a plane means and african does not get healthcare. Paying for a nuclear defense system means and african does not get health care. Paying for anything other than paying for the african health care means that afrian does not get health care.
Money being money, an american getting a heart transplant has nothing more to do with an african getting health care or not, than an american buying new vechcile house mobile phone or indeed spending any money.
For your system to make sense would need to be a lot of artifical constructs. Firstly a global health care system that money can only be used for healthcare. In which case countries like america richer counrties would get very little money back on the tax cost.
I have not heard of any plans for such a system. The british american german french does not also include a requirement to cover people in africa. It is not a prerequit of a health care system any more than having a free school system is a requirement to pay for schools for every counrty in the world.
If there was a requirement to pay for services for every other counrty in the world everytime a next service was offered in a counrty then would be very little services offered in any counrtry.
Money being money there is not a relationship between an american geting a lung transplant and an african getting health care. Any more than money is spent on one thing rather than another if an american bought a car or school this would be money spent also in fact if bought anything.
to apply your logic if an american bougt anything the money could be have been spent on healthcar in african.
By using the example of of lung transplant you mis lead as people assume there is a relationship between spending spefically on healthcare rather than anything.
its not the quality of spelling that worry about i writte poorly. Its the quality of your thinking and your propergander that that makes people feel there is a spefic relationship between 2 different things, that only relationship is that of both using money resources. It infers health care spent in american is costing health care in africa which is not more so other than any other spending
Although i do agree with the agrument that as medcine advances may not be way to pay for a comprehensive service than incudes every possible treatment because of resource limitations. As with other spending choices have to be made. The choices not just between health care spending here or anywhere but between any spending anywhere on anything.
As with schools miltary social care can not can not spend unlimited amounts or have perfect services always.
People can no more expect to get harley street treatment that expect to government to pay for eton. Although prehaps expectations are unrealtisic on health care and will be come more so with advances. Unless more saving in other areas. To look at just health even dietbitus smoking cancer alcolism cost that could be reduced or compition in providers market pay for medical proffesionals with removal of uncomeputive pratices. In medince much rent seeking costs.
But then saving could be found in anything that cost efficency in miltary governmebnt admin, social care, or increase growth to make spending small amount.
I problery should use ms word.
Do you really think anyone in the US cares what happens in Africa??? The far left does but then again they don't pay and taxes so its easy to be magnanimous with other people's $$$
Maybe Africa should be worrying why their presidents need a fleet of private planes, or a multiple residences, or multiple wives etc. Let Africa start sorting out their own problems
Andrew, you are right, althought your point might have been more easily accepted if you compared the transplant for the 90 year old with a need for vaccine for an english 2 year old or more care for a pregnant woman which might save or better her life or her childs life.

Fresh from his recent stint in Celebrity Big Brother, Ollie Locke returns to our screens in his latest series The Fox Problem this week.
The YouTube entertainment show stars Locke, Georgia La, Gemma Cairney and Georgie Okell, and streams every other Tuesday in front of a live audience.
Ahead of the latest episode on Tuesday (March 18), Digital Spy had a quick Q&A with the former Made in Chelsea star about the ongoing series and his other projects.
Hi Ollie! How excited are you to be a fully-fledged member of the Fox Problem team?
"I've been there since the first series and they are the best Tuesday evenings I've ever had! Hilarious."
The show manages to secure some pretty impressive guests each episode, are there any stars you would love to invite on the show?
"Our guests are incredible. I would love to see Joanna Lumley on the show, she is my secret crush. »

I'm a documentary freak. I love documentaries and also, weirdly, anything involving prisons. That Trevor McDonald series on prisons, we were obsessed with. Anything by Louis Theroux is a must-watch, and any of the music documentaries on BBC4. And One Born Every Minute. It's the most beautifully mundane thing in the world – midwives chatting about where they're going on holiday – and the next minute, you know, procreation has happened and babies have come into the world. That juxtaposition of the mundane and the profound – I'm a sucker for that.

The sad passing of actress Alexandra Bastedo earlier this month saw many recalling and celebrating her work on '60s spy-fi series The Champions - just one entry in the canon of cult programme makers Itc Entertainment.
Though it also branched out into film production - with the likes of 1976's The Eagle Has Landed and 1982's The Dark Crystal - Itc was best known throughout the 1960s and '70s for its raft of cult TV programming, with shows like The Champions making an indelible screen icon of Bastedo and others like her.
These shows are now world-renowned - The Saint, The Prisoner, Thunderbirds - but the team behind them still go sadly unsung.
This week, the Week in Geek is looking to redress the balance with a fond tribute to Itc Entertainment - one of the UK's very best, most influential production teams.

Wow. From whom does Beth Hawkins take her marching orders?
This past month Lyndale begun working on the Nicollet Votes project. The goal for this project is to increase voter turnout in the Lyndale, Kingfield, Stevens Square, and Whittier neighborhoods from 57 percent to 65 percent in this non-presidential election year and to have over a thousand conversations with community members about what is important to them in their neighborhood. The project will do this through voter registration, being present at community events, phone banks, and thirty-two neighborhood doorknocks.

Remember kaleidoscopes, where impossibly bright designs shift and rearrange as you turned the cylinder? I thought of those as I looked at the extravagantly colored and stitched quilts at the Minnesota State Fair. Hours of thought clearly go into not only the stitching and cutting, but also the artistic design and patterns. Whether they are painstakingly hand-stitched or machine-quilted, each one is a work of art.
Sexual assault is a personal violation. When the perpetrator is someone you know, it violates your sense of trust in the deepest way. So when we heard about this most recent incident of a 21 year old Hmong man who has admitted to molesting a 6 year old and other girls in his church, we were appalled and saddened to see continued victim blaming and the lack of accountability. As a group of men who are against gender-based violence, we say men must take a stand and participate in creating community accountability when sexual assault happens in our communities.

I'm Rob Kirby, a Minneapolis cartoonist.

Apparently, there's something MnDOT calls "shockwaves" that occur when motorists approach the looney-laned, multi-messaged, maniacal sign montages found in conjunction with the MnPASS lanes on 35W and 394. According to a so-called "study" by some Highway Department scam at the the University of Minnesota called the Minnesota Traffic Observatory, the "shockwaves" "work well."

Poppy arrest "utterly ridiculous"
The director of civil liberties campaign group Big Brother Watch has criticised the arrest of a Kent man for posting a photo of a burning poppy on Facebook as "utterly ridiculous". A 19-year-old man from Canterbury is due to be interviewed by Kent Police this morning.
Officers were contacted at around 4pm yesterday and alerted to the picture, which was reportedly accompanied by an offensive comment. The man was arrested on suspicion of an offence under the malicious communications act.
But Nick Pickles said: "Kent Police need to urgently release this man and drop an utterly ridiculous investigation into something that has harmed no-one. It is not illegal to offend people and, however idiotic or insensitive the picture may have been, it is certainly not worthy of arrest."

Attorney 'shocked' by murder charge
Bouquets of flowers have been placed at the entrance to the abandoned City Concrete plant at 2 Hampton Road in Exeter in memory of Amanda "Amy" Warf, whose body was found inside last week. (JASON SCHREIBER/Union Leader Correspondent)
He was even more surprised when he learned that Warf's ex-husband, Aaron Desjardins, was charged in her murder.
Coughlin, a Portsmouth lawyer, was representing Desjardins while he and Warf ironed out the details of a parenting plan for their 11-month-old son, William, in the Brentwood Family Court.
Coughlin was hired just after their divorce was final in February 2012 and says he never saw any serious problems between the two.
They may have disagreed at times like many divorced couples, but Coughlin said it was nothing unusual.
"I hear about these things happening, and sometimes when I'm involved in a particular case I wonder if something bad might happen because of the nature of my client or the nature of the opposing party," he said. "This case didn't have that. It's surprising that he might somehow be involved."
The last time Coughlin spoke with Desjardins was a few weeks before prosecutors say he killed Warf by slitting her throat.
The body of the 36-year-old mother who worked at Exeter Hospital was discovered on the second floor of the abandoned City Concrete factory on Hampton Road in Exeter on March 7. Firefighters found her body while responding to a fire that prosecutors say was intentionally set, though Desjardins hasn't been charged with arson.
Just a few days after telling reporters he had nothing to do with her murder and that someone else had done it, Desjardins, 36, was arrested at gunpoint near his Epping home Tuesday and charged with first-degree murder.
Coughlin said he believes Warf and Desjardins were still seeing a co-parent counselor at the time of the killing and had a hearing scheduled in May.
"They were working on the minutia, the logistics of the parenting time that they would spend with William, but they had pretty much equally divided it, and they were trying to figure out when transfers would occur and things like that," Coughlin said.
Before his arrest, Desjardins told the New Hampshire Union Leader that he and Warf had "come to full agreement" on custody of their son.
"We were just going to put the ink on the paper," he said at the time, suggesting that all was well between him and Warf.
Unlike some couples, Warf and Desjardins didn't seem to have a problem getting together to work out their issues.
"They could meet in the same room. There were no domestic violence aspects of the case. No restraining orders," Coughlin said. "If it turns out that he was aggressive toward her during this event I certainly never saw evidence of that when I observed them dealing with each other."
At times, even Desjardins' new wife, Sarah, would attend meetings with Coughlin when Warf was also present. Court documents hinted at some tension between the two women in the past, but Coughlin said Sarah was "very helpful with him in parenting William."
According to Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell, William is now being cared for by other family members while Desjardins remains held without bail at the Rockingham County jail. He is due back in court for a probable cause hearing on March 22 at the 10th Circuit Court in Brentwood.

With more and more individuals turning to social media nowadays, businesses are putting increased resources into marketing their products and services on social media sites. In a recent study done by Vertical Response, it was found that nearly 66% of small businesses surveyed said they spent six hours or more a week on social media promoting their products and services. With such a huge potential, it is highly important that website developers understand the importance behind social media. Making sure businesses' products and services are being shared on popular sites such as Facebook and Twitter is extremely vital in today's social media craved world.
Social Media Shares
While having a website is still important and a must for many businesses today, ensuring that the website is popular on social media is also crucial. Through what is known as social media shares, businesses are able to promote their products and services to social media audiences without having to do the extra work needed to create a social media page. It truly is the best of both worlds.
With this come challenges, however. Business owners are counting on other individuals to take their content and share it with their friends via sharing buttons and other methods. So how do businesses know this sharing is being done? There is a variety of different methods out there that websites can use to ensure their content is being shared. With each method also comes the ability for business owners to see just how popular their website is on popular sites, such as Facebook.
So how is it done? Listed below are five methods businesses can use to check social media shares for a specific web page.
1) Buttons
There are numerous scripts, plug-ins, and applications that will give website developers a code to integrate into their website to be used specifically for social sharing. Some popular ones include AddThis, ShareThis, and AddtoAny. With this add-on or script, a simple share button is placed at the bottom of a web page that allows visitors to share the site with others via a multitude of different social media sites. With a long list of different ways adding buttons can be accomplished, the opportunities are truly endless.
So how do these buttons help business owners see who is sharing their content?
With nearly all these add-ons or scripts, the coding is done so owners can see how many times a page was shared. For example, when a visitor clicks on the Facebook share button for the first time, the number 1 is placed next to the button and so forth and so forth. This method is not only great for business owners, but it also adversely gets the page shared even more. Research has proven that the more times a page is shared, the more often others will share it as well.
2) Google Analytics
Probably one of the most heard of and popular methods around is Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a service offered by the popular search engine giant Google. Through this service, businesses are able to view a generated report that lists detailed statistics about their website's traffic and traffic sources. By installing a simple code generated by Google Analytics onto one's site, Google is able to collect this information and present it in an easy to understand format.
How do the sharing stats work?
Unlike the button method listed above, Google Analytics allows owners to see who is simply sharing their URL. Not every visitor will click on the "share" button. Some will simply do it the old fashioned way by copying and pasting. Through Google's analysis of a user's website traffic, they are able to find these folks and tell the page owner exactly how many individuals have been sharing their information. In this respect, Google Analytical is a must for every website owner.
3) Facebook API
For those who want to get site specific, Facebook offers a unique approach to tracking the number of media shares for a webpage. While this method is for those with more knowledge of website coding, the method has proven very useful and accurate for those who do take advantage of it. Facebook's Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) gives website developers the ability gain access into the social media's selected networks to be able to extend their website.
So how does this method allow owners to view share statistics?
With Facebook's PHP SDK, users can generate a code that will tell them how many times a specific URL was shared on the popular social media site. By creating a new app, App ID and App Secret users can generate the information. This method can also generate the number of likes and comments on these shares as well. While this method is the most complex and difficult, it is one of the most accurate and in-depth ones out there.
4) Site Stats
Nearly every web hosting company offers social site statistics with their website packages. These social site stats offer users the ability to pull vital information. This method is the simpler version of Google Analytics. While it may not be as accurate, it certainly is a start for those with little website knowledge. If one's web hosting company does not offer this feature, there are a variety of add-ons and plugins users can integrate into their site to get the same benefits. Some examples include StatCounter and GoStats.
Do These Statistics Include Social Shares?
Not every site statistics is going to offer the social share feature. For those that do, though, it will work the same way Google Analytics works, and that is by generating a report that lists the number of times a webpage's URL was shared.
5) Short URLs
One of the newest methods available for users to check how many social shares their page has is through short URLs. There are a wide variety of programs out there that offer this feature. A short URL has many purposes ranging from making a more complex link seem neat to tracking clicks or disguising the underlying address of a specific webpage. Many use short URLs, sometimes called tiny URLs, to track how others are sharing their website. Through many different website programs such as bit.ly or t.im, no program knowledge is needed for this method.
Does it really work?
With short URLs, users are able to track their posts in real-time, and yes — it really works. For those who post a new page with their latest offerings, they may want to see how many people share their page within the first hour of being up. With short URL trackers, this task can be accomplished. See how many shared the post at 8am, 10am, and 11am. Many other methods do not offer this advanced feature, which is why many are turning to short URLs over other methods.
With a variety of different ways businesses and website owners can check the number of social media shares their web page is generating, there is no reason for businesses to worry if they are truly getting the exposure they need on social media. Social media is one of the fastest growing avenues around for small businesses. With more and more turning to social media for purchasing decisions, it is important that websites are being shared across all social media platform.

Press Editorial: Time to change liquor license policy
Dickinson is looking at changes to its liquor license distribution policy. As it stands, additional licenses could not be granted until the population reaches 18,000, according to city ordinance.
It's time for this ordinance to go. Limiting licenses also limits economic growth.
If another license is made available, the city has no procedure to distribute it.
A number of ideas for who would get access to that precious license have been brought to the table.

Chehaw is going through some new adjustments, including a price change for visitors. Zoo ticket fees will go up but it's all part of adjusting the park so visitors get more out of the Chehaw experience.
Currently, Chehaw passes to the zoo is $6.75 for adults and $4.75 for kids but starting on April 18th, those will increase to $7.85 and $5.15 which is about a $1.50 more. Another change the park will undergo is to allow zoo visitors to have free, unlimited veldt rides (a tractor-pulled trailer that gives you close-up views of the animals) Director, Doug Porter says its all part of evaluating their needs.
"The park operates like a business so we have income and we have . with expenses going up as much as they have been in recent years we have to recoup that cost somehow," Porter said. "We haven't raised prices since 2011 ,so we thought it was time to do an adjustments."
Chehaw they will be giving back to their zoo visitors by adding new animal exhibits and attractions. Zoo changes won't go into effect until April 18th 2014. Entrance fees to park remain the same at $3.

Financial Reporting by Charities
Introduction and Contexts
There is a great variation in terms of the quality and range of information currently provided by charitable companies in their financial statements to the Companies Registration Office (CRO). Some charities comply with the minimum standards required under company law, some Irish charities go beyond the minimum, whilst some even comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Financial Reporting by Charities (SORP) standard, which is recommended best practice by the Accounting Standards Board (ASB)
When the Charities Act comes into effect, the annual accounts produced by incorporated charities for the CRO under the Companies Acts will be forwarded by the CRO to the new Charities Regulatory Authority. Such charities will not be required to provide additional accounts to the new Charity Regulator under the Charities Act.
There is a Ministerial commitment to consult on the content of the Annual Activity Report (submission of which will be mandatory for all charities) and on the Annual Statement of Accounts (which will be mandatory for non-incorporated charities).
"It is most likely that this will require charities to disclose some additional information in relation to their charitable activities and their finances."
The Minister has noted that: "it is most likely that this will require charities to disclose some additional information in relation to their charitable activities and their finances, through both the Annual Activity Report, and the Annual Statement of Accounts mechanisms..."
"...because charitable companies are exempted from the accounts provisions of the Charities Act, a method will have to be developed in the regulations to be prepared under the Charities Act to ensure that, for example, a medium sized incorporated charity ultimately provides to the new Authority the same level of financial and activity reporting as its non-incorporated counterpart..."
"…What this might mean in practice is that, for incorporated charities, the desired financial information might be furnished to the CRA through a combination of both the Annual Report produced under the Charities Act, and the financial statements produced under company law, whereas for non-company charities, the bulk of financial information will most likely be sought through the Annual Statement of Accounts in the format to be prescribed under the Charities Act..."
"...It wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that the financial reporting arrangements to be introduced by the Accounting Standards Board (ASB) for public benefit entities in due course, following its public consultation process, will inform the financial reporting régime to be introduced under the Charities Act."
In the meantime, to improve the general transparency and consistency of all financial reporting the ASB is proposing to converge UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) - which applies in Ireland - with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are now mandatory for publicly-quoted firms under EU law.
There is, however, an acknowledgement by the ASB that International Financial Reporting Standards "are not framed with public benefit entities in mind" so the ASB is currently consulting with the charities sector regarding the desirability of special financial reporting standards for charities.
The ASB has committed to consult further were it to be proposed to develop a public benefit entity standard and the Minister has stated that he "would envisage the charity regulators having a significant input were any further consultation process to be undertaken by the ASB on a public benefit standard."
The ASB will consider the future need for a Statement of Recommended Practice for Financial Reporting by Charities (SORP) as part of developing it's proposals.
The Wheel made a submission to the Accounting Standards Board consulation on financial reporting by public benefit entities (charities) and you can see the submission below.
Submission to the Accounting Standards Board consultation paper on The Future of UK GAAP - January 2010
Prepared by The Wheel – Ireland's largest support and representative organisation for community, voluntary and charitable organisations.
Following on from the ASB information session held in Dublin on 12 January 2010 (hosted by the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs and ICTR), The Wheel invited its members to consider Section 3 of the ASB consultation document regarding Financial Reporting for Public Benefit Entities.
Members present considered the following questions:
Q11. Do you agree with the ASB proposal to develop a public benefit entity standard?
In principal, members were of the view that the ASB should develop a public benefit entity standard based as closely as possible on the existing UK SORP for Financial Reporting by Charities.
There were a number of concerns that would need to be addressed before unqualified support could be given to a new standard leading to requirements that:
- Charities in Ireland must be centrally involved in developing, monitoring the implementation of, and reviewing any standard
- A mechanism would need to be found to exempt very small charities from the requirement to comply with a SORP-based standard (which does not currently apply in the Irish context)
- Transitional supports would need to be made available for many smaller charities to enable them to make the transition to applying a standard
- Concerns were also raised at the level of fees that could potentially be applied by accounting professionals if instructed to prepare accounts according to a new SORP-based standard.
Q12. If you agree with the proposal to develop a public benefit entity standard, should the standard cover all the requirements for preparing true-and-fair-view accounts?
All members agreed that the standard should cover all the requirements for preparing true-and-fair-view accounts (as the SORP currently does). This approach will facilitate trustees and managers of charities to come to a general understanding of the standard and to "take ownership" of their charity's financial reporting. It would also facilitate the implementation of improved practice in management accounting by charities.
