Best Pet-Friendly Flooring
Best Flooring Choices for Fido and Fluffy
Utility, style and value are not mutually exclusive when it comes to what goes under your and your pets' feet.
By Stacy Mantle
These days, we have more flooring choices than ever. More than 60 percent of families in the U.S. share their homes with pets, so it's no surprise the flooring industry is getting creative with options that are durable, inexpensive and stylish. Here is a look at some of the best pet-friendly flooring options on the market today.
Cool, Natural and Affordable Solutions
Those in warm southern climates can benefit from the cool, natural flooring options that are so often associated with showcase homes.
Stone: Naturally beautiful, scratch-resistant and easy to clean, stone is probably one of the best options for a pet-friendly household. Since it's not as slick as tile, you won't have pets falling throughout the house or causing injury to their hips, and if you're in the Southwest, it can keep you cool all summer long. The drawback is stone can be uncomfortable for pets to sleep on throughout the day, so it's very important you provide them with plenty of options for bedding, particularly senior pets.
Tip: Look for stone that doesn't need to be sealed.
Tile: Easily one of the most popular flooring options for pet owners with allergies, tile is cool, easy to maintain, inexpensive to install and very pet-friendly. Be sure to incorporate some stylish, nonslip rugs into the design. Rugs help ensure young animals don't slide into walls while playing and create a soft area for senior animals to rest their arthritic bones.
Tip: Stock up on extra tiles at time of purchase to keep color consistent during repairs.
Concrete: Decorative concrete is the new "in" design across the country. Whether you choose to stain, stamp or paint, there is a look you can mimic using the highly versatile concrete. There are an unlimited number of ways you can make concrete look as expensive as marble. Rated as the best alternative for people with pets, concrete can make a beautiful and inexpensive option for your pet-friendly floor.
Tip: Incorporate radiant heating into design to lower winter heating costs.
Warm, Inviting and Durable Solutions
If you live in an "all-weather" region, you might likely be on the hunt for warm, durable solutions. These include vinyl, laminate and carpet-tile options. While wood is beautiful flooring, it's one of the least durable options for homes with pets—sharp claws can make short work of the floor. Instead, look for chic, aesthetically pleasing options that are easy to maintain.
Vinyl: Vinyl flooring is very durable and resistant to moisture, which makes it a favorite in the rainy areas. Simple to maintain, it has the added bonus of muffling the sounds your pets nails make as they click across the floor. Vinyl flooring comes in a large variety of colors and designs so you never have to sacrifice style for comfort.
Tip: Inlaid vinyl is thicker and has richer colors.
Laminate: If you're looking for the aristocratic feel of wood floors without all the maintenance; laminate flooring is a durable solution that can hold up to the hard nails of your pet without scratching. While it's not quite as durable as vinyl, laminate is affordable, easy to maintain and lasts much longer than wood.
Tip: Check the warranty—they range from 10 years to a lifetime.
Carpet Tiles: This is an excellent alternative to heavy floor rugs or to cover up and preserve wood floors. Simple to assemble, these can be used as an entire floor or as a way to preserve a high-use area. Cleaning is as simple as removing the carpet tile that is soiled by running it under water or tossing it in the washer. A vacuum can clean up any larger areas. Use as a runner for areas your pets like to charge through and eliminate any problems of getting toenails caught in shag. The pattern variety enables custom design and you can also make it the perfect option for concrete floors.
Tip: Visit Flor.com for clever ideas to create unique, affordable designs.
Green, Natural and Renewable Solutions
Flooring made from long-lasting, renewable resources is in vogue, which makes cork and bamboo two of my favorite flooring options.
Cork is a natural antimicrobial that reduce smold and other allergens—making it a perfect flooring solution for homes with pets. It also absorbs sound nicely (an excellent selling point if you dogs bark a lot). However, cork floors can fade and discolor if they see too much sunlight, making it a bad option for sunny regions. Consider coating it with a high-quality urethane to reduce wear and tear.
Tip: Avoid cork-vinyl composites. If using sealer, select a low-VOC product.
Bamboo is also an excellent option as it's the hardest of hardwood—making it very durable and long-lasting. Cleaning is a breeze but remember, while cork and bamboo floors are naturally water-resistant, you need to get stains cleaned up quickly as they will eventually cause discoloration.
Tip: Look for FSC-certified products that have had no formaldehyde added.
Whatever new flooring you select, focus on easily maintained, durable and mildew-resistant designs. Any of the above options can last a long time and add value to your home. Pet-friendly (and pet-resistant) flooring also ensures you won't grow frustrated with damage caused by your four-legged family members. These days, you don't have to sacrifice comfort and durability for style.

Forever Warriors Founder – Training Service Dogs While Changing the World for Vets
Jason Young puts Animals & Soldiers First in His Quest to Change the World for Veterans.
Young, a graduate of Animal Behavior College's Dog Obedience Program is now Training Service Dogs While Changing Veteran Lives.
ABC Graduate Dog Trainer Jason Young
Jason Young served in the Navy Seabees Construction Battalion. After coming home from his tour, Jason Young was in school to complete his education in Computer Networking. During his program training he was diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). His doctor recommended that he consider a new career while going through the rehabilitation recommended to heal his TBI.
"Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a complex injury with a broad spectrum of symptoms and disabilities," according to http://www.traumaticbraininjury.com.
"One moment the person diagnosed can be seen as normal and the next moment life has abruptly changed. Brain injuries do not heal like other injuries. Recovery is a functional recovery, based on mechanisms that remain uncertain. No two brain injuries are a like and the consequence of two similar injuries may be very different. Symptoms may appear right away or may not be present for days or weeks after the injury. Most often, these body structures heal and regain their previous function." says traumaticbraininjury.com.
After considering his options Jason again consulted with his doctor. He mentioned that he may want to pursue a vocational career that involved peer counseling. Young's doctor recommended considering a career in training service dogs. Jason liked the idea of rehabilitation training that could benefit the lives of soldiers and veterans using Dog Training as the tool to heal himself and others. He loves working with service dogs and highly recommends Animal Behavior College to other veterans as a great place to learn Dog Obedience Training.
Jason graduated from Animal Behavior College in September 2013. Before completing his final exam and externship he was offered a position as a Dog Trainer at Big Paws Canine Academy and Foundation, Inc.
We had the chance to ask Jason Young why he chose Animal Behavior College and specifically the dog training program? Here is what he had to say:
"The course was great! I loved the externship and working at the shelter. My main goal before I started the course was to learn to train Service Dogs for Veterans. Myself being a veteran wanting to help other vets I had thought about becoming a peer counselor, but I didn't want to bring that home with me every day. After one of the VA doctors asked me if I had ever thought about training service animals. It was the perfect idea, considering all the service dog providers there are popping up all over the country very few people are looking at becoming a dog trainer. I have been communicating with numerous providers in the last year like: Pets for Vets, TADSAW, Battle Buddy and many others. I would refer veterans to whichever one that was closest or fit the Veterans needs best. About a week before I received my certificate in September, Big Paws Canine Academy offered me a training job training Veterans and their dogs at the VA hospitals. It is the perfect fit for me. I can help other veterans alleviate anxieties caused by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) naturally and possibly lower the doses of mood altering medications that some veterans are becoming dependent upon for every day life. It's a win, win{situation}, for me. I get to work with animals and help heroes."
Jason's passion truly shows that it is not about the money. He actually turned down a paid position at Big Paws Canine Academy and opted for working as an intern so that Big Paws CA could afford to hire more trainers. Together Jason and Big Paws CA are on a mission to make rehabilitation available to more vets returning from war. They are not the only ones. Jason is also participating in the Battle Buddy Run, a 5K fundraiser to assist the placement of service dogs with soldiers who have PTSD. This event is taking place in Fresno Calif. on October 26th. https://www.facebook.com/battlebuddyrun
In his spare time Jason enjoys speaking with other soldiers and vets. He assists injured soldiers and vets by pairing them with an organization that would best suit their needs. He also posts content about service dogs, service dog news, and information needed on his Forever Warriors page. https://www.facebook.com/WeAreForeverWarriors?ref=stream
October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month
October is
National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month
Shelter dogs and cats deserve a forever home. By adopting or fostering a shelter pet, you are saving an animal's life. Even if you can't adopt a new pet, there are several great ways you can help save a dog or cat who is currently living in a shelter.
Use Social Media to Raise Awareness
Share with your friends and followers that October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. By doing so you become a part of the saving lives formula. Help raise awareness by using Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, 4square, Tumblr, and Instagram. Consider using #hastags such as #welovedogs, #savedogs, #fosterdogs, #traindogs, and #dogs in your posts. This helps them be found by people searching for industry-related articles on social networking trend walls and blogs, as well as RSS feeds.
Volunteer to Train Shelter Dogs
At Animal Behavior College (ABC), our students and employees have been training shelter dogs since 1998. It is a fact that a trained dog in a shelter is far more likely to be adopted then one who has not had behavioral training. Since 2004, ABC's dog training students have collectively donated more than 93,000 hours to animal shelters. This program is called Students Saving Lives. The success has been revolutionary in the fight to save animal lives.
Read more about Students Saving Lives.
Animal Behavior College also offers a Continuing Education Program called Training Shelter Dogs. This program is a great way to help certified dog trainers establish themselves in the dog training industry while doing their part in assisting shelter dogs by providing the behavioral training they need.
Foster Pets from Shelters like, Best Friends or Unwanted NYC Pets
If you love pets but aren't ready to adopt, opening your home as a foster parent is a great way to help out. Many foster programs make it as easy as possible, giving you the support you need. Here's how it works:
You provide a temporary place to crash, water, exercise and love.
You receive food and supplies, veterinary care, any support and guidance you need, endless love from your foster pet, and the satisfaction of helping an animal in need.
Best Friends will work with you to find the best match possible for your home and lifestyle. If at any point the foster situation is not working out, Best Friends will take the animal back into its care and find another that will work for you.
Take the Pledge
Join the more than 100,000 people who have already taken the "No Pet Store Puppies" pledge to help fight puppy mill cruelty by refusing to buy anything—including food, supplies or toys—at pet stores and from websites that sell puppies.
Animal Shelters & Rescues in the U.S.
Best Friends – BestFriends.org
Best Friends Animal Society is the only national nonprofit animal welfare organization focused exclusively on ending the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters. An authority and leader in the no-kill movement for more than 30 years, Best Friends runs the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals (at its headquarters), regional centers in Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, and New York, as well as life-saving programs in partnership with rescue groups and shelters across the country.
Did you know that more than 9,000 dogs and cats are killed each day in America's shelters? More than 4 million lives are lost each year simply because they don't have a safe place to call home. These pets deserve to be saved. At Best Friends Animal Society, they believe no animals should have to die in shelters when solutions exist to save them—solutions like adopting, fostering, spaying/neutering and Trap/Neuter/Return (TNR).
Unwanted NYC Pets - UnwantedNYCpets.org
Unwanted New York City Pets or Unwanted NYC Pets is spearheaded by Betina Wasserman and her team of close knit animal confidants. Together they rescue pets from the kill list and save dogs and cats from all across New York City's Tri-borough area. Betina is also the founder of Unwanted NYC Pets, a 501-C3 non-profit organization. The Unwanted NYC Pets team is determined to help make the world a better place by saving the lives of dogs, who would otherwise be put down if not rescued. Betina's message: Don't buy dogs, please adopt them! Read More

How to Be a Responsible Dog Owner
How to Be a Responsible Dog Owner
By Lisa King
Dog Ownership 101
Being a responsible dog owner starts before you even get a dog. Before visiting a shelter or calling a rescue, be certain that you have the time, energy and finances to properly care for a new pet. Here are a few rules to follow before the fact:
1. Don't get a dog for your children unless you are prepared to do 100 percent of his care, if not right away then when they move out of the house. This is the voice of experience speaking.
2. Do your research and choose a breed or mix whose activity level matches your own. If you're a couch potato, don't get a Border Collie. If you want to go running or biking with your dog, forget the Pug.
3. How much space do you have? A large dog will be miserable in a studio apartment, while a small lap dog will be quite comfortable.
4. Do you want to deal with all the training required for a puppy? Adopting an adult dog who's already housetrained puts you ahead of the game.
Now that you have an idea of the type of dog you'd like, go online and search local shelters for a dog who fits your requirements. If your heart is set on a purebred, these can sometimes be found at shelters. Breed-specific rescues are also good sources for purebred dogs. If you go to a breeder, do some research to ensure she's reputable. DO NOT buy a dog from a pet shop—these adorable puppies usually come from puppy mills, which keep breeding animals in deplorable conditions.
Dog Health Tips
Once you get your dog home, follow these 10 tips to ensure he has a long, happy and healthy life.
1. Take him in for regular vet checkups. Spay or neuter your dog if it hasn't already been done. Keep him current on shots, dewormer and flea and tick protection.
2. Give your dog plenty of exercise according to the needs of his breed or breeds.
3. Train your dog. Take him to a training class or train him yourself by consulting books, magazines and online resources. He should know basic commands such as "Come," "Leave It," "Sit" and "Lie Down." Keep him on a leash when not in a secure, fenced yard. Even a well-trained dog with a strong prey drive can be distracted by squirrels or other small animals and run into traffic.
4. Brush your dog regularly to prevent mats. The frequency of brushing depends on his coat type. Take him to a reliable groomer if he is a breed that needs more complicated grooming, such as a Poodle or a Maltese. Keep his nails clipped. If you're nervous about clipping them yourself, have your groomer or vet do the job.
5. Wash your dog regularly. Depending on the dog's coat and environment that can mean once a month, once every couple of weeks or even more often if he gets into something nasty. Use a high-quality natural shampoo. Don't wash him too often, though; too-frequent baths can cause dry, itchy skin.
6. Secure your dog in the car, either in a crate or with a harness that hooks onto the seatbelt. A dog who's loose in the car becomes a dangerous projectile in a crash. If he's in the front seat, or God forbid on the driver's lap, he can be killed if the airbags deploy.
7. Provide proper ID for your dog so he can be returned to you if lost. Attach a tag bearing his name and your phone number to his collar. For added safety, consider having your vet microchip him.
8. Feed him the best diet you can afford. Your options are many: kibble, canned, frozen raw and freshly made cooked. Find a food that makes you both happy. Keep dishes clean and always provide plenty of fresh water.
9. Be a good neighbor and pick up your dog's poop. Cleaning up after him even in your own yard is important to keep harmful bacteria out of groundwater.
10. Provide plenty of love and affection; it will be returned tenfold.

Dog Walking Etiquette
Dog Walking Etiquette
By Stacy Mantle
Walk Your Dog Each Day
In a world where many different species enjoy walking each day, it's important to understand the rules of the road for canines. The rules below are not hard and fast, they aren't legally binding and they aren't meant to be regulated. They are intended as good "common sense" rules for any pets who enjoy walks.
1. Respect personal space. Whether you're on a trailhead or at the dog park, there are people who will not love your dog. Even fellow dog lovers are hesitant around other breeds. Some small-breed lovers will be in complete fear of your large-breed dog no matter how friendly, and vice versa. Never force your dog on another person or animal.
Teach your pet to keep his nose to himself. People don't generally like to be sniffed—particularly if they are running or walking or just enjoying the day. Keep your pet under control and never allow her to pull at the leash in search of a quick sniff of another dog or person.
2. Leashes are required. Besides being good common sense, leashes are required by law in nearly every state and that includes state and national forests. It doesn't matter if your dog is friendly, it doesn't matter if your dog always listens. If any other person views your pet as a threat, they can legally defend themselves, which can lead to tragic results.
Keep your leash short. This can help eliminate problems with tangled leashes, territorial sidewalk users and other such problems. The only exception to using a leash is in a designated off-leash area.
3. Clean up after your pet. You should not allow your pet to urinate or defecate in a person's yard, a golf course or in a public park. Urine can leave ugly brown spots and create problems for a property owner. Look for a public, remote area for your pet to do her business. If an accident does happen, be courteous and clean up after your pet. It's the law in most municipalities and it makes for good neighbors.
4. Not all dogs are friendly. You should never assume that because your pets are friendly, other people's pets are friendly, too. Don't allow your pet to approach other animals without an invitation. You never know how controlled the other animal may be.
5. Be respectful of other species. Cats are going out on walks more frequently, as are birds, ferrets and even other lesser-known and more unusual species. This is why you should never allow or encourage your dog to chase any type of animal. Your dog may interpret a cat to be a squirrel, leading to disastrous consequences. Train your pets to recognize and be receptive to other species.
6. Announce your arrival. When running or walking with your dog, it's always polite to inform those ahead of you that you're coming up behind. This can be done with a simple "Behind you" or "To your left" announcement, letting them know you're planning to pass. This is particularly important when using public walkways.
7. Teach children. Nearly 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs every year and more than 72 percent of those are children. We have to begin educating kids (even other people's children) on the proper way to approach an animal. This begins with you and your dog. Let parents and children know they need to approach slowly, ask to pet your dog and always keep their faces away from the dog.
8. Elevators and enclosed areas. When in an elevator or other enclosed area of a public building, your dog should move to the back corner of the elevator and sit quietly near you as people get on and off. Keep your pet on a short leash, as some people have a real fear of being in an elevator with a dog.
9. Stop and sit at crosswalks. Your dog should always stop before a crosswalk and sit quietly beside you. While not all dogs can be trained to do this, it's important to work up to it. Not only that, it could save their lives if they ever got loose.
10. The five training commands. Come, drop, leave it, heel and sit-stay are the five basic commands every pet should know before walking out the door. If your pets cannot do these things, you should focus your training until they can.
Owning a pet is about being a responsible pet owner. You are responsible for teaching your pets good etiquette as they will not learn from others. Together we can make the world a better place for our animals and other humans.

Pet Grooming Tips for the Summer
Pet Grooming Tips in Summertime
Although your pet may have a warm thick coat, long-haired cats and dogs are actually kept COOL from this. The coat acts as insulation and it regulates the dog or cat's body temperature, so when it's hot, it keeps the cool in, and vise-versa.
The best way to keep your pet cool is to keep your pet's coat mat-free, well-brushed, and clean.
If you are considering grooming your cat or dog this summer, try to leave at least two inches of fur to protect your pet from the elements. Be aware that once shaved, a double-coated pet's coat will never grow back the same.

Steven Appelbaum Guest Post – Car Safety for Dogs
Car Safety for Dogs
Can you take advantage of the safety harness for your dog, when traveling with him/her in your car or truck?
The President of Animal Behavior College, Steven Appelbaum, wrote a guest post on WayCoolDogs.com which talks about safety harness crash test results for dogs.
The non-profit Center for Pet Safety tested several brands of pet harnesses using the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS 213). The crash test was conducted at an independent laboratory that also tests for the Department of Transportation, using life sized dog test dummies.
Steve believes that all pet products designed to keep a pet secured in an automobile will be held to the same or similar standards as human seat belts.

Regaining Trust
Group Therapy: How Can I Trust Him Again?
This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments!
Ive been with my boyfriend for two years. We had a rocky start; he lied to me and he completely lost my trust. Two years before that, I dated guys and all they did was use me when I had no idea. I was clueless, and they all broke my heart when I attached feelings to them. And now I have no trust left whatsoever.
My boyfriend now tells me to get over our past because it was a while ago, but I try and I can't. I always am sad and can't seem to trust him or I freak out about little things. Why am I this way? He gets mad, but I was never shady to him, until now. I don't care, but it isn't my fault he's the one who made me this way. What do I do about letting go of my past? I can't seem to find anyway to do it. Now I find reasons to make myself sad, like make him tell me about his past again so I can be mad at him and he hates me when I do that. Please help.

The man who fired Ann Curry: Today show producer forced to insist it was his call - NOT Matt Lauer's
- Jim Bell says it was his decision alone to oust Ann Curry from her role as co-anchor on the Today show
- Bell says Matt Lauer 'has a heart of gold'
- Today show is taking a major hit in ratings following the departure of Ann Curry
An NBC executive producer has jumped into the controversy surrounding the firing of former Today show co-anchor Ann Curry, saying that it was him - and not Matt Lauer - who made the decision to cut her loose.
Jim Bell has been with NBC since 1990, but in 2005 became the executive producer of Today, which has been marred in recent weeks by diving ratings following Curry's departure in June.
Reports hinted that Curry's firing was orchestrated by Lauer as part of a deal to extend his contract, claims that Bell calls 'absolutely not true.'
In charge: Today executive producer Jim Bell, center, is pictured with Meredith Vieira, Ann Curry, Matt Lauer, and Bryant Gumbel earlier this year
Bell told The New York Times' Media Decoder blog: 'It was definitely not Matt's call. He is the host and does not have management responsibility. It was not his call. That was my call.'
Viewership has been slipping away from the Today show as rival Good Morning America has been gaining ground, winning the ratings war for the past two weeks.
Early data shows that the ABC morning show will most likely win for a third week, as well.
Additionally, in the 10 weeks before Curry left, Today got 4.94 million viewers, but in the 10 weeks since she left there were just 4.6 million.
Trouble at Today? NBC is reportedly examining whether Matt Lauer, left, is worth what he's being paid after the show took a major hit in rating following the tearful departure of Ann Curry, right
The moment Lauer lost his likability? Curry's unceremonious booting off the show has long been a thorn in Lauer's side, after it was claimed he was responsible for getting her axed
As Today's ratings decline in the wake of Curry's departure, reports have swirled that Lauer has morphed into something of a monster on the set.
Sources told the New York Post's Page Six last week that Lauer is now 'running the show and he's not listening to anyone,' causing a 'huge problem.'
Birthdate: July 20, 1967
Hometown: Branford, Connecticut
Education: B.A. in government, Harvard. Played football as a defensive linebacker
Marital status: Married with four sons
Work history: Joined NBC out of college in 1990 to profile athletes for 1992 Barcelona Olympics; became coordinating producer and programming supervisor for NBC Olympics; producer for NBC broadcasts of the NFL, MLB, and the NBA; joined Today in 2005 as executive producer; won Emmys for his work on 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2002 Olympics
Responding to the report, Bell told The Times: 'Matt is the heart and soul of the broadcast. He has a heart of gold. This stuff about him has been very irresponsible and in a lot of cases flat-out wrong.'
Bell spoke out amid rumours that NBC is examining whether Lauer is worth his $25million salary as Today ratings tank.
A source close to the situation told Radar Online: 'Matt Lauer will be asked to take a significant cut in his $25million salary if TODAY doesn't win the key November sweeps.'
'The May and November sweeps dictate how much the networks can charge for advertising and they are extremely important to the bottom line. The TODAY show had always been a cash cow for NBC, generating hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue.'
Radar reported that NBC Universal is now looking at the budgets of the network's shows, and seeing where cuts can be made, and in the news division, a significant portion pays Lauer's salary.
Bell told The Times that those reports 'could not be more wrong.'
Top job: Bell, right, chats with Ann Curry, Bill Clinton and actress Mindy Kaling on the Today show, where he has worked as executive producer for seven years
Bell made headlines in August after he was revealed to be the executive producer behind a series of faux pas surrounding NBC's broadcast of the Olympics.
Among them were delaying the men's 100 more than six hours so that it could be aired during prime time.
During the Opening Ceremony, the network cut a tribute to the victims of the 2005 London terrorist bombings, which claimed the lives of 52 people, including one New Yorker.
Despite the global impact of the tragedy, NBC cut the dance routine and tribute, claiming it wasn't tailored for an American audience.

Honda gives Civic makeover for 2013
Updated On: Nov 29 2012 02:03:19 PM EST
A heavily updated Civic sedan was introduced at the Los Angeles Auto Show Thursday, just one year after Honda fully redesigned the popular small car.
It's not unusual to give a car a makeover two or three years after a full redesign. However, Honda is making these changes just one year after the all-new Civic was introduced for 2012. That car was not well received in the media due to its relatively cheap materials and lackluster styling.
"Our industry has never been more competitive or fast changing, and a significant refresh of Civic, America's best-selling compact car, just one model year after its debut as an all-new model shows true speed to market," said John Mendel, American Honda executive vice president of sales.
Up front, the Civic now shares several styling cues with its larger sibling, the Accord, which is all-new for 2013. The rear has also been updated with a new trunk and new taillights.
Honda said handling is improved and the new car is quieter thanks to several chassis upgrades, re-tuned steering and a revised suspension.
Inside, popular features have been made standard, like Bluetooth connectivity, a rearview camera, voice-to-text messaging system and steering wheel-mounted audio controls.
Honda is also wasting no time in getting the new car to dealers. Sales of the new car began at the time of Thursday's announcement.

The Flanarant: Grown-ups a prime market for garment firms
Instead of trying to build their businesses by seeking cheaper production and new locations for their stores, retailers would be better off focusing on grown-up customers. Turn your priorities upside down, advises Mike Flanagan, and sell clothes Paul McCartney or Queen Elizabeth would buy. Because they represent the single most important statistic garment businesses need to understand in planning for their survival.

Mike Gonzalez, senior fellow at the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for International Studies, spent close to 20 years as a journalist, 15 of them reporting from Europe, Asia and Latin America. He left journalism to join the administration of President George W. Bush, where he was speechwriter for Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox before moving on to the State Department's European Bureau, where he wrote speeches and Op-Eds.
Gonzalez, who joined Heritage as Vice President of Communications in March 2009, became a senior research fellow in June, 2014. In his new capacity he has written on Hong Kong, China and Latin America.
Gonzalez was born in Cuba and left at age 12 in 1972. He also has lived in Belgium, France, Spain, Hong Kong and South Korea and has spent months living in and reporting from Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, Panama and Cyprus, among others.
Gonzalez got his first regular reporting beat in 1980, covering high school sports for one summer for the The Boston Herald. He went to work for Agence France-Presse in 1987, reporting from around the globe for the news agency for six years. After taking off two years to earn an MBA from Columbia Business School, he next logged 11 years with The Wall Street Journal, writing a column on the stock market in New York before being posted to Hong Kong in 1995 as deputy editor of the editorial pages of the newspaper's Asia edition.
Gonzalez went to Brussels in 1998 to assume similar duties for The Journal's Europe edition. He conceived of and commissioned the "Letter of Eight," a January 2003 piece by Britain's Tony Blair, Spain's Jose Maria Aznar, Italy's Silvio Berlusconi and five other European leaders in support of the U.S. stance on Iraq. Published globally, the Letter of Eight galvanized a pro-American coalition that for the first time challenged France and Germany for leadership of the European Union.
Gonzalez holds a bachelor's degree in communications from Boston's Emerson College and an MBA from Columbia Business School. Fluent in Spanish and French, he reads Italian and Portuguese.
His book— "A Race for the Future" How Conservatives Can Break the Liberal Monopoly on Hispanic American — is available now.
He and his wife, Siobhan, live in Bethesda with their three children.

Volcanic eruptions emerge as lead cause for Little Ice Age
Sequences of explosive volcanic eruptions in the tropics were the likely trigger for the Little Ice Age, according to a new study.
The research attempts to answer two longstanding questions swirling around the roughly 400-year span of slightly cooler-than normal temperatures: Exactly when did it begin? And what was its initial trigger?
Previous estimates for the onset of the Little Ice Age range from as early as the late 1200s to as late as the 1500s, the research team notes. Globally, temperatures averaged a modest 0.6 degrees Celsius, or about 1 degree Fahrenheit cooler than usual.
But regionally, cooling could be profound. Glaciers in the Alps grew, bulldozing mountain villages. In Europe, the growing season became shorter, with spring and summers often cold and wet, triggering famines. In China, provinces that for centuries had produced bountiful citrus harvests no longer could provide them. With an additional climate-cooling blast from Mt. Tambora in Indonesia in 1815, North America and Europe experienced the year without summer in 1816....

You would be surprised how hard it is for people to understand when a professor is and isn't available. This is not meant to be snide, but just because I am heading to my office (or that general direction) doesn't mean I have that extra twenty minutes you desperately need. There are days when I might only have thirty minutes in the middle of the day to go to the bathroom, scarf down a protein bar, and exchange materials for different classes or labs.
One of the biggest problems is when I am in my office, so here is a handy reminder for basic rules.
Door completely closed (even if I just stepped in) – I'm busy, it might be that I am just grabbing something between classes/meetings/labs/etc. or that I have to make a call at that point. I'm not ignoring you, but other priorities are taking precedent at that moment.
Door cracked open – I'm in my office and can be interrupted but am currently doing something, please politely knock and wait for me to respond.
Door wide open – I'm in my office and open to assist you, just come on in and we can have a sit down.

It is best for users to back up all important information and settings. Rooting can erase all data on the handset although afterward it will allow people install root apps on the device. It is also best to understand that providers of the update cannot be held responsible for what happens to the device following update. Users can root and update at their own risk.
Important Note: The CF-Auto-Root tutorial provided caters to Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 models running on Qualcomm Snapdragon Quad-Core CPU with LTE. It cannot be used on models like the GT-I9500 running on Exynos 5. According to Team Android, root refers to the process of combining Samsung stock firmware. Important reminds before rooting the device:
- USB debugging mode should be enabled in the device.
- Battery level should be at 80-85% to avoid power interruptions. Power interruptions may lead to a bricked phone.
Steps on how to root:
1. Save the Samsung Galaxy S4 CF-Auto-Root Android 4.4.2 Package on a computer. Extract content from the zip file.
2. Save ODIN v3.09. This will assist the user to root the device later.
3. Turn off the phone. Hold the Home and Volume Down buttons together to switch the device to Download Mode. Press the Power button until the Android logo shows up. Press the power button once more to confirm access.
4. See to it all USB drivers are installed in the computer.
5. Access ODIN on the computer. Connect the device to the computer. Wait for the ID:COM box to become yellow along with the COM port number. This may take a few minutes.

Police in East Texas Seek Mailbox Vandals
A few mailbox explosions have been reported in East Texas over the last few days, and police think there may be other incidents that have gone unreported.
Detectives think someone put some type of firework inside the mailboxes, and once the firework exploded the mailbox was severely damaged, and the ground caught fire.
At least two mailboxes exploded in Tyler over the weekend, and police think there may be other cases where people have noticed damaged mailboxes but have not reported the cases to police.
To report damage to a mailbox, call Lufkin police or Crimestoppers, at 936-639-TIPS.
Crime Stoppers of Lufkin also wants help this week identifying a car thief. You can find out more about that case on the Crime Stoppers website.

AMD Is Still Struggling With HD 7000 On Catalyst
Published on 02 March 2012 07:57 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
40 Comments
While most Linux enthusiasts know by now that
there still isn't open-source Radeon HD 7000 series support
from AMD under Linux, the Catalyst situation isn't so clear. While they've been committed to launch-day Catalyst hardware enablement under Windows and Linux, for the penguin OS that doesn't seem to always be the case for the HD 7000 series.
When the first Radeon HD 7900 "Southern Islands" graphics cards were shipping, AMD ended up releasing a special driver release in order to support the new GCN hardware under Linux. The support wasn't found in that month's usual Catalyst Linux driver release. This goes contrary to what AMD has been striving for since the Radeon HD 4800 "RV770" days when they first shipped same-day support after a troubling past of taking a year or more for hardware enablement several generations ago on their old driver architecture.
It wasn't just a slow-start for the HD 7900 series on Linux, but it seems the HD 7700 is starting out in the same shaky steps. Released on Wednesday by AMD was
a special Linux driver
, which is the AMD 8.932.5.2 driver, and provides support for the recently-launched Radeon HD 7700 series.
By recently-launched, the Radeon HD 7700 hardware was shipping two weeks ago and at that time there was a supported Windows Catalyst driver available...
Meanwhile, contrary to earlier statements by their marketing representatives, AMD still hasn't sent out any Radeon HD 7000 series samples to Phoronix. Therefore I'm unable to verify the state of the Catalyst Linux driver as it stands today for this latest hardware to see how well it performs or what other caveats there may be within its driver stack. For users of previous hardware generations there already tends to be plenty of problems with AMD's binary blob, so hopefully this latest generation doesn't present any new problems.

It's no secret that she's a stone cold fox, and Ariana Grande takes things to a hot new level in her music video for "Love Me Harder."
The "Problem" songstress shows off her sex appeal in the just-released clip, writing around on top of furniture, sand and water as she sings her come hither anthem.
Though it may feel like awards show season just ended, it's time to ramp back up again for the 2015 People's Choice Awards.
Earlier today (November 4) the show's honchos released the nominees for the upcoming event, slated to take place on January 7th, 2015.
It's going to be a very happy Thanksgiving for Beyonce Knowles' fans, as her rumored new album is actually a re-issue of her self-titled record with a ton of bonus features.
The Beyonce Platinum Edition contains all of the tracks from her previous release with two new songs- "7/11" and "Ring Off"- as well as four remixes.
Her career just keeps getting hotter, and Meghan Trainor dropped by "Today" on Monday morning (November 3) to check in with some exciting news.
The "All About That Bass" songstress shared that she'll be part of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and she'll be kicking off a headlining tour on February 11th, 2015.
Last December, she dropped a brand new opus without any prior warning and it looks like Beyoncé Knowles is about to do it all over again.
Earlier today, Vulture shared a snapshot of a release announcement for the "Crazy In Love" singer's Beyonce Volume 2 album, listing Friday, November 14th (digital) and Monday November 25th (physical) as street dates.
Her latest album 1989 is predicted to sell 1.2 million copies for its first week, but Taylor Swift is feeling a little slighted all the same.
The "Out of the Woods" songstress reportedly pulled her music off of the Spotify streaming service where up until now her fans could listen to all of her songs for free.
It's going to be an amazing summer for Taylor Swift fans as the "I Knew You Were Trouble" songstress just announced the tour dates for 2015.
Ms. Swift dropped by "Good Morning America" to let her loyal followers know when she'll be in town, and everything kicks off on May 20th at the CenturyLink Center in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Kicking off the next chapter of her musical story, Leighton Meester just released the music video for her new single "Heartstrings."
The "Gossip Girl" actress proves she has a killer voice on the track, though her vibe in the clip is slightly eccentric.
She loves giving back to her fans, and on Thursday (October 30) Taylor Swift performed a selection of hits from her new album 1989 in Times Square.
And during her "Good Morning America" concert, the "Out of the Woods" songstress told the crowd that she'll be hitting the road in the not-too-distant future.
There's all kinds of excitement surrounding the theatrical release of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" and Ariana Grande was just announced as the latest artist to be added to the film's soundtrack.
The forthcoming album has been curated by Lorde, and when the tracklisting was originally announced, there was a mysterious omission in the "track 5" slot.

Suspected Brevard Co. safe robbers busted by police
Four suspected safecrackers fell into a law-enforcement trap Thursday morning.
Police said the four men hit a dozen businesses in South Brevard County.
"These guys were going to get caught," said restaurant owner Tony Gebhardt. "They were pretty brazen. They spent some time inside the restaurant so I knew, I felt that they were going to get caught."
Officials said the men smashed a window at Long Doggers restaurant in Palm Bay before heading to a local McDonalds to wait a while and make sure the coast was clear.
In surveillance video, the thieves can be seen making off with two small safes at a bar last month.
Police said the mistake was the thieves hit a series of restaurants with surfing themes like Long Doggers and Bunky's.
Six undercover agents began staking out restaurants in the area and that is when another restaurant was hit in the same fashion, authorities said.
Investigators said they grabbed the four men before they could return to the restaurant and steal the safe. They were taken to the Brevard County Jail.
Detectives said they believe the four men are part of a larger group.

Mmm ... placenta puree, courtesy of our cook and C4
Sunday 18 January 1998
The rich dish of "placenta pate" - served on homemade focaccia bread - was the centrepiece of a buffet spread and was filmed for the TV Dinners series.
The afterbirth, which had been frozen, was cooked by a close friend of the family six weeks after the mother, 20-year-old Rosie, gave birth to her first child.
"We are always recycling things in this house so it was quite appropriate," said Rosie's mother Mary, 42. "We thought it had to be fabulous if it had just made my grandson.
"At the party we had a toast and then passed the dish around and asked people if they would like to share in our gene pool.
"We realised that some people might not like to try it, but in the end there was only one person who didn't - the cook's daughter in fact, who is a vegetarian anyway.
"Now I think placenta should be treated as a rare delicacy. And having tasted it, I am surprised there isn't a black market in it."
The pate went down particularly well with the baby's father, Lee, who had 14 helpings.
"It tasted like a Mediterranean beef dish," he said.
The mother herself was a little more circumspect. "It was quite scary and a bit hard to come to terms with at first," she said, "but serving the placenta will be a family tradition now. Perhaps without the film crew there though."
The dish was conceived with help from the show's presenter, Independent on Sunday food critic Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.
"The raw placenta had an interesting spongy texture not unlike tripe, although it was denser and meatier," he said.
"Sue, who cooked the dish with me, was great and they were a lovely, close family. The party was just right for our programme because it's about the culture of food and the different ways we share it."
In the kitchen the duo flash-fried strips of the placenta with shallots and blended two thirds into a puree. The rest was flambeed in brandy and then sage and lime juice were added.
"I had never cooked a piece of human flesh before and of course there are certain taboos I had to think through," said Sue.
"But it was a great honour to be asked and in the end we treated it as if it was a piece of offal. It was quite like venison pate. Quite gamey, but without a long aftertaste. I was stunned by how palatable it was.
"I would be hard put to cook anything as exotic ever again," she added.

Houston, Texas, ...
The zipper broke on a pair of jeans I liked, so I dismantled the jeans and put a zipper in the back.
Then, I took the entire pair of jeans apart, cut both front & back off beneath the zipper, sewed a leg to both front and back (to make an asymmetrical hemline).
(I used an old retro apron from the thrift store to hide the seams and trim the pockets, and then I sewed the apron belt to the jeans' old waistband.)
Then, I used the Sidonie pattern to cut the pieces into an a-line skirt.
Then, I sewed the waistband back on, backwards (because the working zipper is now in the back).
Fun to do, and I like it, but I suspect the pockets are a little bit much!
Old pair of jeans; thrift store apron.

I like the pockets! Very cool reconstruction.
Aug 1, 2008, 04.28 PMby snappyconfetti
Thanks! (It was pretty easy, since I used the existing waistband & button… the only slightly-tricky part was getting the back to hang correctly, since I didn't want to insert the pattern's darts, so I could just use the waistband as it was.) Have fun!
Jul 31, 2008, 05.08 PMby midget
Very cool. I like the idea of using the apron. My daughter is always wearing out her jeans at the knees. I think I use your idea and get a few extra wear miles out of them.

System and method for encoding an input data stream by utilizing a predictive, look-ahead feature
Image Number 4 for
United States Patent #6501404
A method compares an input value of the input signal stream with an output value of an integration function of a previous binary value to generate a new binary value based upon the comparison. The method then stores a plurality of successive binary values from the comparing step, and simulates an integration function for a plurality of possible bit sequences of the plurality of successive binary values. Finally, the method determines which sequence results in the smallest error between the input signal stream and the output value of the integration function, and uses the most significant bit of the determined sequence to adjust the integration function. A corresponding apparatus is also provided.
