Spring was supposed to arrive last Wednesday. But, freezing temperatures and snow on the diamond have been a common theme for Briar Cliff.
"We got in every game last year, all 55 scheduled," Baseball Head Coach Boyd Pitkin said. "We were playing in 60, 70, 80 degree temperatures and now we're still sitting snow. You know, you expect this in the Midwest, but not this late."
By acquiring the "dome" in South Sioux City four months ago and using the SP Hitting Zone in Sioux City, the Chargers are happy to have places to practice, other than their gym.
"It's been great for us," Softball Head Coach Michelle Schaper said. "We feel very fortunate that we have an opportunity to still go live in a facility like this."
However, there is a downside.
"I feel like we're a few steps off from where we can be," Senior outfielder Brenden Ospsol said. "It's difficult. It'd be nice to get outside and jump a few steps and get better faster."
For the Charger softball team, they feel it's given them an advantage.
"I feel like we're a step ahead of the other teams in our conference." Sophomore infielder Brooke Lyman said. "Nobody else has something like this."
But, not being able to be on their home field's has taken a toll mentally on both squads.
"We play, we sit for quite a while then we might play again. Just the inconsistency of not being able to play is getting on them as well as it the rest of the coaching staff," Pitkin added.
Temperatures are excited to climb into the 50's by the end of the week. Players and coaches are excited about finally to be able to play on their home fields.
"Finally seeing some temperatures that will melt the snow and thaw out the ground, hopefully we can continue to stay outside and start to play some games," Pitkin said.

Women's Fitness Clothing Giveaway from Albion Fit!
and more not featured on my blog? Subscribe to my newsletter!
Update 2/20/13: This giveaway is now closed.
Attention, all you active gals! Today I've got a giveaway that's sure to get you jazzed to hit the gym and get moving!
Albion Fit is a new-to-me company that makes women's fitness clothing and swimwear. Albion Fit's women's workout clothing is stylish, functional, and good quality.
I could hardly wait to try out the signature Love Racer Top that Albion sent me. It was in the Sea Foam color, pictured below, and that alone made me excited to work out!
(By the way, all photos in this post are courtesy of Albion Fit. No, that girl in the photos is not me. If I looked that good when I was exercising it would be a miracle! Normally it's early in the morning, I'm half awake, and my hair is staging some sort of rebellion.)
The verdict? I loved the top. It was form fitting enough to stay on during jumping jacks, but not so tight that I couldn't breathe. Being a petite person, I normally have a really hard time finding clothes that fit good and have some style, too. Albion's Love Racer in extra-small fit just about perfectly. (I say "just about" because it's slightly roomy in the neck/shoulder area, but hardly noticeable.)
I also loved the "ruching" on the sides of the top. It helps to trim the waistline and just adds a little extra femininity.
I know this top will be dynamite for yoga, too. It would make a great outfit with Albion's Mantra Yoga Pant (which comes in petite!) and Belize Blue hoodie. (I'm a bit of a hoodie fanatic. Just ask my sister. Hoodies are my weakness…) Albion also has a fun collection of women's swimwear, perfect as we head into the spring and summer season.
As for their price point, Albion Fit is comparable with most other leading women's activewear brands and I found their quality to be just as good. I have learned over the years not to waste my money on cheap exercise clothes. They don't last and I just end up replacing them within a few months, so the math doesn't really work out on that. All of my higher end workout clothes have lasted me years despite daily use and a lot of washing. I'm confident that my Albion Fit Racer top will join the ranks of some of my most-loved pieces.
The Giveaway (and a coupon!)
Update 2/20/13: This giveaway is now closed.
Albion has generously offered to give away one of their Love Racer tops to one Daily Bites reader. Yay! Whether you're a walker, runner, yogi, weight lifter, or just someone who loves a cute and colorful top, this giveaway is for YOU!
And if you just can't wait to order yourself a few goodies from Albion, you're in luck. Use the EXCLUSIVE COUPON CODE dailybites15 to receive $15 off your order of $50 or more! But hurry. The coupon expires 2/21/13.
To be enter for the giveaway, you must:
- "Like" Albion Fit on Facebook
- Go to Albion Fit's website, find an item you love, and leave a comment here telling us what it is!
For a BONUS entry:
- Share this giveaway on Facebook or Twitter (tag @hallieklecker and @albionfit on Twitter) and leave a separate comment here saying that you did.
Giveaway is open to residents of the United States age 18 or older. Giveaway is open until 2/19/13 at 6 pm CST. Winner will be drawn randomly and notified via email that they have won. (If winner does not respond within 48 hours, another winner will be drawn.)
Good luck!

Eat Local, Eat Seasonal
A couple of years ago, I picked up a wondrous item at my local farmer's market. No, it wasn't a scrumptious fig or a heirloom tomato that we are so blessed with here in Northern California, but rather something called The Local Foods Wheel.
I LOVE this product. It graces my fridge, as well as countless others throughout the Bay Area, as year-round reminder of what to eat now. There is a huge movement to eat local these days, for reasons ranging from reducing the carbon footprint of our food, to helping local economies. But one of the most important aspects that often gets overlooked is not just eating what grows locally, but what is in season.
Why is eating seasonally important? Well, for starters, it's one of the best ways to be connected to nature and the region around you. As you begin to pay attention to what grows at certain times of year, you may notice that the earth provides fruits and veggies that support your needs for the season. For instance, as fall and winter set in, we have squashes and heartier foods that help give you substance and keep you grounded and warm. Whereas in the spring and warmer months, you'll see brighter, lighter and more astringent foods that support your constitution in hotter times.
Eating seasonally can foster an appreciation for the cycle of things. So often, we feel an entitlement to our blueberries or avocados--we expect them to be available year-round at affordable prices at our local grocer. By paying attention to what grows at what time of year in your neck of the woods, perhaps you will understand why something may not be at the grocery store when you go to purchase it. Or, why it may be very expensive (having been flown in from another continent, etc.). Working with "what is" is a very humbling lesson and deepens our connection to the places we life and to nature's plan. It can be a lot of fun to develop recipes that are appropriate to the seasons, and really get to know your times of year.
Local food is better for you. It's fresher than what's transported across the globe to your mega mart. Supermarket produce is often picked a week before it's ripe, and has to do its final ripening in transport. Local produce is often picked the day you take it home. Nutrients are preserved, and the flavor is often more prominent.
Now, I live in an area that is extremely abundant all year-round, with farmer's markets almost every day of the week. Even without The Local Foods Wheel on my fridge, I can see what's local and seasonal. But I know that majority of folks don't always have this luxury, and the supermarkets don't necessarily highlight these items. So I highly recommend either getting one of these (only available for Northern California, New York and Upper Mid-West right now), or do a bit of research online. Better yet, talk to you neighbor who has a green thumb, or find a local gardener. Ask them, "What's in season right now?"

"When I was on tour, her and Joel Silver came to my dressing room to see if I wanted to be a part of the movie [Romeo Must Die]. Most people would have their people call, but she came herself. I'm like, 'Is this a trick question? You have to ask me if I want to be in a movie with Aaliyah? Hell yeah.' We then met up in Vancouver to do Romeo Must Die. She had a presence on TV that was incredible. It was sexy but kind of gangster. She was easy to talk to and down to earth. Aaliyah made you feel comfortable, with her and with yourself. That's one hell of a combination. Half these chicks that are doing it right now, wouldn't be doing it. Aaliyah would be on top. As far as I'm concerned, she's still on top." - DMX
She was ORIGINAL. She did being a woman right

The epic quest for groceries.
This is exactly what happened to me today when I decided I needed more cigarettes, Chocolate milk, dinner and toothpaste:
I get in my car and drive down towards the local grocery store. It's only 2 minutes away from my house. When I get to about 100 meters away from the store, the road is closed because of some random construction crap.
So I perform a U-turn and decide to drive in the opposite direction towards another store that is about 3 minutes away. As I drive along this lengthy road I eventually pass this tiiiny sign placed at the side of the road. I slow down and squint my eyes to make out what it says. It says:
"Do not drive past here. Closed for construction."
I got cars behind me and one in front of me but I think "Um ok, I'll just take the next right turn".
However when I get to the next right turn, which is the LAST turn you can make on this road, it's suddenly closed. So basically that sign just told you that you are CURRENTLY driving on a one way street leading to hell and there is no way to get off that road.
I can't make a U-turn either because of the way the street is designed and there are loads of cars behind me, and one car in front. So we just keep driving, hoping to find some solution further ahead.
The only thing we find further ahead is a dead end, lot's of randomly parked construction equipment and some construction foreman staring at us like we are the convoy from hell, coming there just to grind his last nerve.
I have the windows open so I can hear him shout something about us not being able to read signs and to turn around and all kinds of obscenities that I can't type here. The guy in the car in front of me gets out and yells back "Learn to PLACE signs you %¤&#!"
After like 7 minutes of chaos we are given the room to actually perform a U-turn. On our way back down the road, away from the construction site, we pass loads of cars that fell into the same trap as us. I'm laughing hysterically as I'm picturing in my head, another convoy from hell reaching that construction foreman and driving him completely insane.
So now I'm driving towards a third store and when I get there, it's 4 o' clock and there is a mad rush of people trying to park there and there is no room for me so I decide to just skip the whole thing and do the shopping later. I'm pretty tired of this nonsense at this point. There is no room to turn around near the shop because it's swarmed with cars. I really mean swarmed. People that have done their shopping and are coming out, CAN'T get out because those who are waiting in line to get in are in the way.
So anyway, I drive past that chaos and into this small road going past loads of houses. I see a big parking lot and decide to turn my car around here. I drive into the lot and temporarily stop the car in front of a fence. I look at the fence as I put the car in reverse and there is a sign that says "Parking spot reserved for Dibbe!"
All this time I have had music blasting in the car and the windows open. I'm feeling a bit silly at this point so I shout "What the hell, DIBBE isn't even a real NAME!"
Just as I shout that I realize that the song on my stereo had ended and an elderly woman had heard me. She bent down towards the car window and said "I'm Dibbe, It's my first name."
As I'm looking at her I'm thinking to myself "Oh great, now I'm gonna get bitch slapped in the face by a 70 year old woman."
But instead she starts laughing and that was cool
So now I drive home and here I am.
Seriously, all I want is some cigs, chocomilk and maybe even some food. That's not asking much! There are 300 stores in this town, it should be doable!

Ministry of Health information
Updated STI management guidelines available (July 2012)
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common in New Zealand. Associated complications include chronic pain, infertility, neonatal morbidity and genital tract cancer. Surveillance data regularly indicates that those aged less than 25 years and non-Europeans show a disproportionate burden of STIS, the highest numbers and rates for each STI are almost always seen in the 15 to 19 years and 20 to 24 years age groups. Primary care practitioners diagnose and treat the majority of STI cases in New Zealand.
Best practice guidelines on the management of STIs are an essential component of effective management of STIs in order to: (a) prevent onward transmission; (b) assist with partner notification; (c) reduce potential health complications; and (d) reduce risk of potential complications associated with development of antibiotic resistance.

You guys know the drill. The 49ers and Seahawks have a fairly important game this weekend. Should the Seahawks defeat the Niners then Seattle would remain at least tied for 1st place in the NFC West and the 49ers would be mathematically eliminated from the division race and obviously the postseason based on head-to-head tiebreaker with Seattle. If San Fran wins then possibly you're only one game out of 1st behind St. Louis.
We're pretty banged up. Mike Williams was said to miss this weekend's game according to Jason La Canfora, but Pete Carroll denied that. Ben Obomanu's status is up in the air with a laceration on his hand.
Ask away and someone here please start one up at Field Gulls and we'll rec it to the promoted fanposts.

Sunday night, the Austin Firefighter's Association and the group "18 Below" sponsored a benefit concert at Stubbs for firefighter Colin Camp.
Back in June, Camp was hit by a truck while riding his bicycle on Manchaca.
He was rushed to UMC Brackenridge and many weren't sure if he'd make it.
60-year old Stephen Murphy was arrested for aggravated assault with a vehicle and failure to stop and render aid.
In the meantime, Camp is improving but he's still in a coma and the medical bills are piling up.
Battalion Chief Palmer Buck worked alongside Camp. He says Camp is part of the special operations group. So he's not only a firefighter, he also does hazardous materials response and water rescues.
"If he wasn't working at the fire department, he was biking, he was playing soccer, he was playing basketball, always on the go," Buck said.
Firefighter Michael Lamure may not know camp very well but he wanted to help.
Lamure helped start "18 below," a group where kids from 12-18 years-old can play music in a drug-free, creative environment...and they wanted to step in to help Colin Camp.
"When they heard about Colin, they knew I was a firefighter and they mentioned it to me like 'Hey we want to do something to help Colin out, we want to do something for this guy, what are we going to do?' And I said 'Let's put on a concert, let's do this," Lamure said.
"This is really important and I really hope that we just raise all the money we can because that family really deserves it," said Jendayi Bonds with the band "Charlie Belle."
The firefighters say Stubbs let them have the space for free.

I'm taking a bloggy break this week, but I thought it would be fun to re-post some of my older stuff. Happy day friends!
When we got married ten and a half years ago, we were broke college kids. We had ZERO furniture (we had always lived in apartments that came furnished), but we managed to scrape together most of the needed pieces from hand me downs and fill in the blanks with Ikea.
But we were still down a mattress.
So the day after we got home from our Jamaican honeymoon, still sun kissed and smelling like sea salt, we went mattress shopping.
In those earliest of days, in an effort to show my new husband how agreeable and compromising and amazingly go-with-the-flow I was, I agreed to the bed that I thought was much too hard. He had married well. See how I just let you pick the mattress?
"Sure honey! Whatever you want! I'm sure it'll be great!"
Silly, naive, dumb, dumb, dumb little girl.
If given the opportunity, I would slap my ten year younger self.
I figured I would get used to it. The mattress would soften up with time. How bad could it be?
We were in love. And I still had braids in my hair. And a rocking tan. And zero stretch marks.
Again, I want to slap Younger Me.
Well, that mattress never did soften up. Nor did my body just "get used to" sleeping on a concrete block.
In fact, ten and a half years and a body that has carried four babies (including a set of twins) later…that mattress was kicking. my. butt.
My pasty white, stretch marked, hair in a messy ponytail butt.
You know you need a new bed when you find yourself daydreaming about the hotel we stayed at when we went to Disneyland. Because it was the best night of sleep you've had in a really long time.
So, ten and a half years later, we went to the mattress store again.
Very, very different people.
And HOLY MOLY. When you aren't young, firm, dumb 21 year olds just looking to buy whatever…mattresses are EXPENSIVE.
I still haven't recovered from the shock.
In fact, I made us come home without buying anything. And then I slept in our bed again. And we went back the next day.
But the trauma continued. Because we decided to upgrade from the Queen size we could barely sandwich into that teeny itty bitty 500 square foot one bedroom apartment…and go baller status to the California King. I mean, you're spending the money anyway, right?
Besides, Saturday mornings with four kids piled on the bed is a mishmash of arms and legs and dangerously sharp elbows and knobby knees every which way with protests of "she's in my spot!" and "but there's no room for me!" and "he's TOUCHING me!"
But you know what happens when you buy a bigger mattress?
You also gotta buy a new mattress pad, and comforter, and sheets, and blankets, and even a new bed skirt. My homemade headboard is even too small now.
I knew this would be part of the process when we decided to go bigger, but it didn't make the shopping any easier.
At several stores, I saw sheets labeled Microfiber. Hmmm…I'd never heard of microfiber sheets.
There was no thread count listed. That's weird…
I unzipped the package…ooooohhhhhhh….they were SOFT. So soft.
And wait for it…$24.99 for Cal King size!
I didn't know why on earth these deliciously soft sheets were a fraction of the price of even low thread count sets, but I bought them anyway. Because I was still traumatized by this whole new mattress/bedding/EVERYTHING adventure.
Dumb, dumb, dumb ten years older self.
I was so excited to sleep in our new bed the first night. I crawled in eagerly.
It was DIVINE.
Until…a few hours later when I woke up HOT.
Not just normal temperature hot…but a weird, stuffy, I can't breathe, I feel like I'm suffocating kind of hot.
I pulled one leg out from under the covers…immediate relief. But then I was too cold. Went back under.
Wait, I'm dying of stuffy hotness. What the heck?
I was up. all. night. long.
I couldn't sleep from the weird, stuffy, hot, I can't breathe feeling.
After laying there for hours, I finally grabbed my phone at 3 am and googled "Microfiber sheets".
Oh friends.
You know why there is no thread count listed on the package?
You know why they are so stinking cheap?
Not cotton. NOT cotton. THEY ARE NOT COTTON, PEOPLE!!!!
And you know a funny little fact about Polyester?
It doesn't BREATHE.
It was like trying to sleep in a cheap Halloween costume.
You know the kind you buy at the Halloween store in the plastic bag for $20?
Imagine sleeping in a cheap Halloween costume of a Snuggie.
Or your grandma's pantsuit from the 60′s.
I pulled those dang sheets off and returned the set I thankfully hadn't washed yet.
And bought COTTON sheets.
Sheets that were on clearance at Target. Not the high thread count I'm usually snobby about. NOR ARE THEY EVEN WHITE!!!!
But I'll upgrade in a few months. Or ask for nice sheets for my birthday or something. Or maybe Restoration Hardware will sponsor my blog and give me sheets in exchange.
A girl can dream.
Learn from me friends: mattresses are expensive. And microfiber sheets are a SHAM.
(Now I know some of you will comment and tell me "Jeannett! We have microfiber sheets and we just love them!" And I say to you: I am jealous. Because I wish I could love $25 sheets. But apparently I'm too high maintenance for that.)
(Also, I had a class in college where the professor told us that she will only wear 100% cotton clothing because the synthetic fibers of polyester and the like don't catch on fire…but MELT onto your body…and cause the worst burns. All I could think of was our sheets melting onto our entire bodies like a less delicious version of fondant. Although fondant is gross, so that's not hard to do. You know what I mean. But basically, even if I didn't sweat like a hog in the microfiber, I probably would have just been up all night from the horror movie playing in my mind. Double whammy.)
Happy Day.
I hope you don't need a new bed.

LAS VEGAS -- The theft of iPads, iPhones and other Apple devices is becoming commonplace, earning it the nickname, "Apple-picking," the police said.
Bonanza High School student Marcos Arenas died Thursday trying to hold on to his iPad as a thief ripped it from his hands.
Apple owners are often seen in public distracted by their handheld devices, making them easy targets.
Green Valley High School senior Jade Federico said his cell phone and iTouch are too valuable for him to give up so easy.
"It's a lot of my money and a lot of my life, to be honest," Federico said.
Fighting for your device is the last thing students with smart phones or any other device should do, Clark County School Police Sgt. Mitch Maciszak said.
"Should you be confronted in a manner where someone is trying to take your product, please give up the property and get yourself to safety as quickly as possible," Maciszak said.
Youth aren't the only ones at risk.
Dijana Jakimoska said she once saw a woman robbed right before her eyes. The woman's thief, she said, was a young boy.
"There was one little kid, two slide moves, one, twice, the phone and the wallet was gone, she didn't even notice," Jakimoska said.
Metro Police spokesman Bill Cassell said Apple-picking is escalating in Clark County.
"We have made numerous arrests," Cassell said. "We have numerous investigations into rings in two different parts of the valley that were committing these crimes."
The thefts happen everywhere, but in the last two months, Cassell said two areas of the valley have been hit the hardest: downtown and the northwest.
Cassell said there's a reason it's not making news headlines.
"The majority of these (thieves) actually are juveniles so because of their juvenile status, you don't see their picture on the television," Cassell said.
Anyone can become a victim, but the police said thieves would rather prey on people who appear careless and innocent.
"We are easy targets unfortunately," Federico said. "Students aren't as protective with their stuff. Some of them are, like me, but most of them don't even think it will happen."
Maciszak advices children and teens to conceal their devices the best way they can - and only use them in class or a private setting.

KUALA LUMPUR: Tertiary students aged 21 and above are not entitled to the RM250 under the 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) 2.0 which is meant for single unmarried people aged 21 and above earning less than RM2,000 per month, the Finance Ministry clarified Monday.
The students were, however, entitled to receive the 1Malaysia Book Voucher to be given out a second time, with the sum raised by RM50 to RM250, to benefit 1.3 million students nationwide, it said in a statement.
The 1Malaysia Book Voucher was an aid to reduce the cost of books bought by the students, and involved an allocation of RM325mil, it added.
The clarification comes in the wake of several newspaper reports Monday that tertiary students and the unemployed were also eligible for the aid.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, in tabling Budget 2013 last Friday, announced BR1M 2.0, a second one-off payment of RM500 for households earning less than RM3,000 per month.
He also announced that BR1M 2.0 was extended to cover single unmarried individuals aged 21 and above earning not more than RM2,000 per month, with a single one-off payment of RM250. - Bernama

Police in Rutland are investigating a bizarre crash that left one woman dead and four others injured Wednesday evening.
It happened on Cleveland Avenue around 6 p.m. Police say a car drove into three other vehicles in the parking lot at the Rutland Discount Food and Liquidation Center-- some cars were pushed about 50 feet by the impact.
One of the vehicles hit a woman who was leaving the store. She later died. Her father is in the hospital with a head injury, but is stable. Police have not released any names.
Police are looking at the possibility that drugs or alcohol may have played a role in the crash.
Cleveland Avenue will be shut down between Water Street and Park Avenue Thursday morning while the investigation continues.

Leash Walking Q&A:
Leash Walking Q&A:
Walking in partnership with your dog. This is an excellent way to describe the paradigm of leash walking. Many times it is a question of doing the appropriate dance steps in concert with the dog. IE: Are you walking fast enough, are you not stopping for intense pulling, are you "working the dog" so the dog is attentive? Are you getting tangled up? As in many dog training context the dog walk is full of distractions, hence why it is many times a challenge. A partnership is intrinsically a more cooperative way to view leash walking as opposed to the militaristic view of old school leash walking.
How to get a dog to stop pulling on leash, can it be done? Yes and no. I often counsel people about leash manners and let them know "All dogs pull and dogs pull all the time". It really does boil down to a matter of degrees of pulling and focusing on the dog. When dogs are on the leash they are prevented from checking out the world at their own pace. Remember dogs are genetically predisposed to investigate things. This need to check things out is especially true of doggie smells and other dogs. Be patient and define reasonable criteria for your dog. Some people have been given the ridiculous notion that dogs should not smell on a walk! This is ludicrous. Imagine being told you could only look at water when you're thirsty? Allowing dogs to smell on the walk will provide mental stimulation, which will alleviate stress, and it put you on the dog's team. Using the smell as a reward is also a built in reward for listening to sit/wait cues and for loose lead behavior. Adjusting your pace with the dogs as well as having solid leash mechanics can be a really big help in the training of leash walking.
1 – Pulling equals stopping. If the dog is out of control pulling at the end of the leash, just stop. Stand still; gently shorten the leash a bit. Leave enough room for the dog to sit comfortably. As soon as the dog looks back or up at you, or sits as long as the leash is slack allow movement forward. I say forward because many dogs that pull will move in any manner of direction to expend energy. This is why the leash needs to be shortened, so the dog cannot go about investigating in a 4 – 6 foot circumference, or whatever length leash they are on.
Make sure you are rewarding the leash manners you want! This movement forward in a calm manner is the reward. So you may have to try the stop start method, which admittedly is sometime arduous, patience is required for this, as is a reasonable amount of pulling.
A dog getting to go check out that smell is a happy dog and in time will equate pulling to stopping and settling down means getting to go on with the walk. (You define your criteria for calm, as all dogs are different due to context, amount of exercise and history with leash walking).
If your dog is pulling towards people to greet whether they have a dog friend or it is just some people your pooch is friendly with; stop! Ask the dog for a sit or a look or a touch by sticking your hand out as a target. When your dog does the thing you ask, allow the greeting to take place. Use what the dog wants as a reward; it is pulling towards something, so use it to your advantage. Make the greeting contingent upon something. You can build your duration of waiting as your dog becomes better at it. Keep it short and always remind people to stop attention if the dog is of the jump to greet variety.
2- Paying for steps by your side. Many times after a dog has sufficiently sent and received pee mails and so forth the dog relaxes and is consequently walking rather nicely. If the dog is a bit out front on a loose lead call the dogs name and position yourself so the dog is beside you, then treat. Count 4 steps and feed. Repeat for a block or two. Try this each time during the middle part of the walk when your dog is more relaxed or anytime you are getting loose leash behavior.
When your dog starts to turn his attention to you on the 4/5th step move to 6 steps once they get that sequence move to 8 steps then make it random. This feeding for steps or staying next to you increases the behavior of walking next to you.
Use a portion of your dogs' meal time kibble or some special goodies to really make a strong positive association to lose leash walking by your side. You can start to fade the food for steps or really space the rewards out as you see your dog walking by your side more frequently.
3- Pay for "check in's". When your dog looks back and gives you attention on a walk mark it with a marker word such as YES and pay with a food reward. This increases the probability that your dog will check in, i.e.: looks back at you and then the leash goes slack. Also any time you need your dogs' attention use the cue "look" or "leave it" and "touch" with a hand held out palm facing out as a target. Mark and pay for these behaviors. These attention getters can get you out of jams and refocus your dog!
Do you incorporate heeling? By all means! I believe heal training began with the military and soldiers carrying a gun on one side, so the dog had to be on the opposite side and in times of military formation there had to be no straying from the handler's side. However companion canines are not in the military. The primary job of dogs on a walk is to fulfill their olfactory senses, so sniffing on a walk is essential. When there are crowds of people or perhaps a jogger coming towards you or you need to get home for an important call, are all examples of times to use the heal position. Any time you need your dog to be by your side for courteous owner behavior, safety or expediting the walk you can use heal. Teaching your dog to follow a food lure or empty hand lure is also a valuable skill for both the dog and the human, as it can really expedite matter in a hurry. Use the follow for food lure method as a way to train a heal. Shorten the lead, have food in the opposite hand and pay for each step – practice this in the backyard or in an open field.
Is LLW attainable for most dogs? Yes, dog training is a mechanical skill based on timing and recognizing your dogs' behavior accurately. In order to increase the probability for wanted behaviors, reward, to decrease unwanted behaviors implement humane consequences. Pulling equals stopping. Walking by your side equals food. Sit and wait for a second or two equals you will get to go to the tree and smell. It takes patience and it takes practice. Start as a puppy or as soon as you get your new dog, dogs discriminate very well, so the sooner you begin setting up the rules the easier it will be for you and the dog.
Or is the concept too esoteric? Not at all, loose leash walking or heal is just another behavior you may need along the way as a dog owner. It all depends on criteria and context. The reward history and the consequence history is up to the humans, so the sooner we decide what we are paying for and what we are implementing humane consequences for the sooner we'll see the consistency in our dogs we desire. This is true of any training.
What about those dogs who simply stay by their owners side even without a leash? Lucky you! However there are leash laws in place for safety. Proofing a dog to stay in the face of prey, other dogs or people it may want to greet takes very dedicated practice as well as 100% situational awareness and rock solid timing and mechanics, usually reserved for professional dog trainers or above average dog owners. Please obey leash laws and only have your dog off leash in a fenced in dog safe area.
If you have a dog that stays by your side on leash and is happy go lucky about the affair you are blessed. The amount of dog owners dealing with leash manners issues is incalculable! The answer is not to have your dog off leash! That is a risky affair that puts your dog at risk of losing its life, being injured severely or being the cause for a car accident placing the lives of people in jeopardy. Even with a "velcro type dog", you still may need some training in the areas of attention getting such as a look, leave it or touch. Anything can happen on a dog walk, so be prepared, and be safe and respectful to your community by keeping your dog on leash unless in a safe fenced in area.
Thanks for asking just good quesions Kelly! My apologies for taking so much time with this!

Lovely article. Really does see things from the dog's point of view so that humans have more chance of getting the results they want!
This is something I have been working through. Once I learned how to clicker train my dog to walk on a loose leash, I began to realize it only worked 100% if I really focused on it, and then my dog wouldn't have much time to investigate things. It felt wrong and was way too much work.
Then somehow I was able to drop the false fantasy of loose leash walking I came about the realization that my dog was not meant to walk on a loose leash at all times, but that I could effectively remove the annoying parts of pulling. Now we're at a point where he still pulls occasionally, but I understand why and don't need to be a task master about it.
For instance, if my dog has been cooped up inside all day and just wants to get out and investigate, there will be some leash pulling, but it's mostly under control, and if it gets bad I stop for a second like you say, sort of like, "OK, that was a bit ridiculous, that's not going to work."
After he gets enough smelling and peeing in, he calms down and is more reasonable.
But I found that like you say, if you reward a dog with the clicker and treat for walking at your side, when they are relaxed they start to gravitate toward doing that. For instance, after a little while investigating, Kody will start choosing to walk by my side hoping to get treats because he knows that's a "game" we play. Now, when he's calm he can do that for a long time now before I click and reward. That doesn't mean he's capable of that right out of the door, and that makes sense.
I also know that when we go to new places to expect leash pulling. He's excited to be smelling new things and to expect him to walk calmly is not realistic.
I have found that training a dog is not about obedience, but about understanding and acceptance. Don't put your dog in a situation where he will want to pull and expect him not to pull, it's not fair to you or the dog. But if you want you dog to behave pretty well on your regular routes, that's realistic.
Having said that, one of the most destructive things to teaching dog training is that TV shows and some dog trainers use naturally calm dogs for demonstration. People (meaning me) get the idea that all dogs are supposed to be like this. There are dogs that are so calm they never want to pull. That's genetic, it's not trained. I can see that my dog is a natural barker and a puller, and I can accept it, and most of all, I can manage it, which is all I ever needed to do.
I think one of the biggest changes in what is trained since I had dogs as a child is the shift from "Heel" to "loose lead" walking. As Drayton says, being able to call a dog to heel for a short distance is extremely useful, and can be life saving, but it is too much to expect a dog to stay in that position for the whole walk. There are several tricks I have been taught in the various classes I go to that have really helped me. Firstly, get a long enough lead - I have small dogs, and a standard 40 inch lead gives them no room for manoevre - a longer lead gives us both more chance of keeping it loose. Secondly, don't pull back - if necessary tie the lead around your waist, to avoid this instinctive reaction. Thirdly, when training a puppy or new dog, lead walking is just that - training, not exercising. If you need to get somewhere in a hurry, or are walking to the park with an excited dog, try a harness instead. The dog will suffer less harm from pulling, you will have more control, and you will not be accidentally rewarding pulling on the collar. Finally try putting your hand holding the lead behind you in the small of your back - this positions the dog slightly behind you, and also makes it impossible for you to pull on the lead when he goes ahead. I have found this one particularly useful when needing to walk several dogs on lead at once, when not all of them have quite got the idea yet! All of these, of course, accompanied by making it fun and rewarding for the dog to be with you!
Great article, I can't wait to try out these tips on my next walk. I understand allowing a dog to smell and sniff. What about allowing the dog to mark their territory? I have a neutered male dog that would, if I let him, lift his leg on every single bush, plant, power pole, etc on our walks. Towards the end of a long walk- he will lift his leg and nothing will even come out. So, how much is too much? Are there any strategies to positively discourage this behavior. Any ideas are welcome! Thanks!
I find that people (or esp trainers?) tend to forget that walking in rigid formation is an unnatural act for dogs. Drayton has touched on this in the article and I dont think its stated often enough. When they pull ahead, stop to smell, whatever, they are simply being dogs. They dont mean any harm. Owners tend to see how dogs and dog trainers are walking in unison and try to live up to the same standard. It reminds me of regular girls starving themselves to look like models. When they are unable to live up to the same standard they get frustrated which makes the situation even worse. Food for thought.
dogandogs, you put that very well.
Cesar Millan has most of the world believing that if their dog doesn't walk right by their side at all times that their dog is being dominant over them and that they are bad owners. He has been very good at convincing almost everyone of this false idea.
I would like to suggest that this website put up a big front page story, something like,
"Why Cesar Millan is wrong about dog walking!"
"Why your dog actually doesn't have to walk by your side!"
or something.
Because even after I learned that Cesar Millan was bad and moved to positive training, I still thought my dog was supposed to walk right by my side... until I accomplished it. Only then did I realize it was completely unnatural and it made walking less fun for me and my dog.
Now that Cesar Millan is finally being taken down a notch it's up to us to fix all the bad ideas he's so effectively put out into the world.
I am fortunateenough to live in the country, with many and varied places to safely exercise my dogs off leash. This means that they are only really walked on a leash in town - when I do insist on reasonable manners to avoid tripping other pedestrians up, and when we are out for a quick P&P break after dark, when they are on a long loose lead to ensure we all stay together. I realised how much my lead walking of dogs has changed when a friend - old school dog owner - took one of mine ahead while I was shopping. The complete confusion on the poor dog's face as she was dragged willy-nilly down the road was sad to see. These days I use "with me" rather than "heel" - it describes the behaviour I want more accurately, and is much easier for the dogs to get right. I love the description of walking together as a dance - just how it is when it all comes together.

[EDITOR'S NOTE 1:20PM] - I picked this up from the diary section and removed the part saying "Give up now." My own opinion issue is that I'd rather Smith not further aggravate the injury during a lost season. I don't think he should necessarily be shut down for the season, but wait until both he AND Nolan are 100% sure he's ready to return. If he misses the rest of the season, so be it. If this injury has caused some or most of his accuracy issues, sit him down for now. If this team was 7-2 maybe things would be different, but they're not. Let's contain Alex Smith/Trent Dilfer comments to THIS thread if at all possible. This would include the trust issues between Smith and Nolan and anything similar. Thanks.
I don't have much else to say but I need to fill 300 characters so I will say this: Crap. Smith is bad, Dilfer is worse. Not that we had any chance to win another game all season, but with Old Man Dilf at the helm, we'll be lucky to match the, what? six first downs we had on Monday. I might decide to not even watch.

We have written an application that shows a proximity search and a map as a wbmp. We tested the system using the 1.3b emulator and the 6110 phone. When we try the 7110 the scaling of the wbmp is quite different and we only see the top right-hand side of the image. Also the annotations are bigger and the 7110 does not support scrolling on the image. What size should we use for the imgage or is there another way to control the picture?
Any comments gratefully received.

Pop-tress Katy Perry has been in fashion buzz for months and in the lab conjuring up her new fragrance Purr for Fall/Winter. Welp* the wait is over. Well, for the ads at least. Shot by photographer Miles Aldridge, Perry is captured in a playtex catsuit and simple black pumps for her debut; with a life-size yarn ball to match. If you stare at it for too long, it can become tacky, but off first glance, I actually think it's adorable- and fitting. The Purr bottle is cat-shaped with jeweled eyes, metallic accents, and lavender hues. Oooooo Katy. Sometimes your unstylish-ness overwhelms me. I have hopes for this, so we'll see. We don't even know what it smells like, this is just the campaign! Eeeekk!
The ad will be on billboards, magazines, global press, and Nordstrom will be the first with in-store visuals in early November. The fragrance will drop shortly after. I'll be there to get my first whiff.
