Stay current on the state of educational relations between the U.S. and the Middle East when you meet a member of the non-profit Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, with branch offices at leading U.S. universities, for a lecture on their efforts to bring more opportunities for higher learning to Qatar and the Arabian Peninsula.

Shangri-La Al Husn
A feast for the senses in Muscat
Oman lies at the crossroads of three continents and four seas; its strategic location at the tip of the Arabian Peninsula has led to a fascinating heritage of seafaring history that includes the legends of Sinbad the Sailor. Explore the sights, sounds and perfumed smells of Muscat, the capital of Oman, on a guided city tour that takes you up to an overlook at Al Alam Palace, down to the picturesque waterfront corniche and past the Royal Opera House to the private Bait Al Zubair Museum, housed in what was once the Zubair family home. Inside, see exhibits and artifacts that chronicle Oman's culture, traditions and heritage, from textiles and furniture to daggers and swords. After lunch, tour the Amouage perfume factory where some of the Middle East's best known exotic perfumes and colognes are crafted. Along with traditional scents of frankincense and myrrh, more than 100 other ingredients are combined to create their signature fragrances. Dinner is on your own tonight.
Mosques of Muscat
Minarets tower above the streets in Muscat, heralding the presence of the multitude of mosques that dot the landscapes all over the Arabian Peninsula. Tour one of its most imposing, the modern Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, gifted to Oman from Sultan Qaboos to mark the 30th year of his reign, and able to accommodate 20,000 worshippers, including 750 women in a private prayer hall. Inside you'll find the second-largest hand-loomed Persian carpet in the world, with 1.7 billion knots; it took the efforts of 600 women over four years to weave!

History in Nizwa & the mountains of Oman
Just outside of the city, vast swaths of mountainous landscapes invite outdoor exploration. Board a 4 X 4 vehicle as we hit the open road en route to the Round Tower Fort in Nizwa, arguably the most visited national monument in Oman and renowned for its architectural ingenuity and mortar-based warfare innovations. Its roots date back to the 12th century, but the fort you will see was constructed over a 12-year period in the mid 1600s. The design of the tower, complete with battlements, turret, secret shafts, false doors and wells, incorporates a great deal of architectural deception to catch invaders off guard. A walking tour takes you first to the animal market where livestock auctions attract buyers from across Oman, and then explores the fort and its many exhibits. Continue on your off road adventure this afternoon as we weave our way through a series of mountain switchbacks and villages in Wadi Bani Awf ("the suspended road"), rewarding with panoramic views of the countryside – an authentic and exciting way to explore the geographical sights of the Arabian Peninsula. Dine à la carte tonight at a choice of hotel restaurants.

Next is a unique visit to the Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital, the most advanced of its kind in the world, dedicated to caring for the majestic birds.

Have lunch at a local fish market and return to the hotel where the remainder of the day is free to enjoy as you wish.
Architectural innovations in the U.A.E.
Meet a local architect for an in-depth perspective on the innovative growth from village to metropolis that characterizes present day Abu Dhabi and Dubai. He travels with us from Abu Dhabi to Dubai sharing insights and his personal experiences in designing and building world-class architectural wonders that tower over the two cities. Upon arrival in Dubai, a tour of "New Dubai" includes guided exploration on Palm Island, a man-made archipelago shaped like a palm tree in the Persian Gulf. Our architectural tour continues in the coastal residential area of Jumeirah, literally meaning "beautiful" in Arabic, sees the new marina and ends at the Dubai Mall, where we will ascend 124 floors to the highest observation deck in the world atop the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa.

Souks in Old Dubai and a desert adventure
Modern day opulence notwithstanding, Dubai traces its origins to the 1830s when it was a small fishing village. In the late 1870s it was considered the principal port on the Gulf Coast and by the turn of the century it was reputed to have the largest souks in Arabia, Pearling was the city's mainstay until the introduction of cultured pearls, at which time the city's enterprising merchants began to trade gold and other commodities. See Dubai's past cultural heritage come alive in hands-on exhibits and dioramas in the Dubai Museum, housed within the 18th century Al Fahidi Fort. A real-life cultural exchange takes place next sat the Sheik Mohammed Center for Cultural Understanding. Housed in in former Emerati home, the center is dedicated to opening doors and minds; share traditional food and conversation with the locals during your visit here today. Walk back in time as we meander past a textile souk, Hindu temples and merchants' wares lining the narrow streets of Old Dubai for a deck-side lunch overlooking the Dubai Creek. An Abra boat (water taxi) takes us across the creek to the Spice Souk for a hands-on, scent-driven talk by a local guide who shows us what to look for in quality spices. See the city's early architecture at the 19th-century Al Ahmadiya School & Heritage House, before ending our Old Dubai discoveries at the Gold Souk, tempting with golden opportunities to hone your bartering skills!

Checked Luggage – General
Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).
Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.
Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.
Please be sure to attach your Tauck luggage tag to your suitcase before leaving home!
Carry-on Luggage – General
Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel or for many on-tour flights. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or larger items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small, and designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.
For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece, and that you bring only those items you need handy during the day such as make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or on the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may be inaccessible during daytime travel.
Your Tauck Director will assist you with information on free-time activities based on honest opinion and guidance, but will not sell you anything. This means better value and a more relaxed, pleasant experience for you.
If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally, you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey with at least two empty pages for entry into Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. You do not require a visa to visit the United Arab Emirates, however, you will need visas for Qatar and Oman. Your visa for both Qatar and Oman (Qatar-Oman joint visa) is easily obtained upon arrival at the airport in Doha, Qatar. This purchase can be made in local Qatari currency, 100 QAR, or with any major credit card. The cost converts to approximately $28 USD per person.
If you are citizen of another country traveling internationally, please contact an embassy or consulate of the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar to determine what travel documentation is required.
Please note that longer stays abroad for any purpose may require additional travel documentation.
All guests are required to provide their passport information to us at time of booking.
We strongly recommend that you make at least two photocopies of all the travel documents that you bring with you. Include copies of the photo page of your passport that contains the date of issuance, the date of expiration and your citizenship. Secure one set of copies in the safe in your room while traveling and leave one set behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your documents are misplaced, lost or stolen.
Transportation to the tour departure point and from the tour ending point is not included.
To avoid jet lag and possible flight delays, you may wish to make hotel arrangements for the nights preceding or following your tour. As a service, we will book additional nights for you on a space-available basis using special rates only available through us. Hotel room charges will be added to the tour cost. Airport transfers are included for these extended stays as described above under Inclusive Prices. If you wish us to arrange additional nights for you, please view our hotel selections listed under Extend Your Trip in the Accommodations section above on this webpage and then discuss your reservations sales consultant or travel agent when you book your tour.
Although every effort is made to handle your luggage carefully, we cannot be responsible, assume liability or accept claims for loss or damage to luggage and personal effects due to breakage, theft, or fair wear and tear through hotel, airline and group carrier handling. It is important for your own self-interest and protection that you make certain you have adequate insurance to cover these eventualities. Please refer to the Tauck Travel Protection Product section on this webpage for more information.
Lost luggage is an unfortunate possibility in today's world of airline travel. We suggest that you:
Your Tauck Director will assist you with airline and other carrier communications, but has no inside contacts to guarantee or expedite recovery of lost luggage. All recovery costs, including the communication costs, are your responsibility. Check your travel protection details for covered expenses.
Personal expenses such as phone calls, room service, alcoholic and other beverages not specifically included, laundry, dry cleaning, airline excess luggage charges, vaccinations, visa fees and services, airport arrival and departure taxes, individual train and airport transfers (when applicable), and other optional or incidental extras are not included and may be significant.
The customary gratuities to the Tauck Director are not included. We ask that gratuities be extended on a voluntary, individual basis and not as a group.
Journey start and end times are provided at time of booking. The tour begins at 7:30 PM at the Sharq Village on the first day of the tour. You or your booking agent will be advised of any change to this schedule. When making flight arrangements, please allow sufficient time to claim luggage and clear customs in order to join the tour on time. Your tour ends when you check out of The Fairmont The Palm on the last day of the tour. Each carrier and each airport has different rules regarding how early you must arrive for flight check in. Please contact your individual carrier for this information.
Museum visits and personal shopping time may be disrupted due to unforeseen circumstances or the many religious, state and civic holidays locally observed. You may wish to log on to Wikipedia to view a list of holidays by country by clicking here.
We pledge to make every effort to operate all tours as advertised. We reserve the right to alter or curtail the itinerary, or substitute sightseeing, hotels, and/or conveyances as deemed necessary. Any savings realized by these changes will be refunded to you. Any resultant added expense will be covered by us. Although not expected, prices on this website may be modified due to unexpected significant external factors not forecast at the time of publication.
Occasionally, we will use photographs and/or video taken by fellow guests or your Tauck Director on your cruise for print, Internet and other media promotional purposes. If you prefer that your image not be used in any marketing activities, please notify your Tauck Director at the start of your tour.
Membership will be granted to all persons. We reserve the right to terminate the tour of any persons who are abusive of others or whose behavior disrupts the tour.
We recommend that you contact your bank in advance of departing on your journey to determine whether you will be able to use your ATM and credit cards while traveling. When contacting your bank, notify them of your travel dates so that they will anticipate charges being made outside of your hometown and do not suspend your cards for what may appear to them to be "suspicious" charges. We also recommend that you make a photocopy of the front and back of your ATM and credit cards to leave behind with someone at home who will assist you in the event your cards are misplaced, lost or stolen.
We understand and appreciate the value of instant communication when we travel; it keeps us in touch with friends and family, and it's a reassurance in the event of an emergency. However, the use of cell phones can be disruptive to a tour and to other guests who are enjoying their vacation. As a courtesy to others, we ask that you refrain from using your cell phone during motor coach travel and group functions, or when sightseeing and when the Tauck Director is addressing the group as a whole. There are usually many opportunities to make or receive calls at times when it does not affect others.
Please contact your cell phone carrier to determine whether your cell phone service extends to Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
Dubai & the Arabian Peninsula is an active tour in a hot climate. You should be in good health, able to climb into and out of a 4 x 4 vehicle and walk reasonable distances over unpaved and uneven terrain. Many of our walking excursions are in and around ancient sites and old city quarters. The amount of walking you do, however, is at your discretion.
PLEASE NOTE: We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs. The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.
Throughout the tour, we will provide you with clean and safe drinking water.
If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and notify us as soon as possible, if you have not already done so. We will advise your Tauck Director accordingly.
Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.
Some of the countries visited on this itinerary may require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against certain diseases in order to enter the country. These requirements are subject to frequent change as outbreaks occur and subside in different areas, and it is therefore crucial that you obtain the very latest information on entry requirements as you prepare for your journey.
For the most current information, please consult the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by clicking here and the World Health Organization (WHO) by clicking here. You may also wish to visit the web sites for the embassies of the countries you will be visiting. Besides providing details on vaccination requirements, these sites can also provide information on vaccinations that may be recommended (but aren't required) and other potential health issues for which no vaccines are available.
Any decisions relating to your health, of course, should not be based solely on information provided by a web site. It is critically important that you consult with your personal physician prior to your journey to obtain any required vaccinations and to review any optional recommendations offered by the CDC or other sources.
Please be sure to discuss your journey with your physician at least four to six weeks in advance of your departure, as certain vaccinations take time to become fully effective. Also, be certain to ask your physician for proof of any vaccinations you receive, and to pack this proof along with your other travel documents in your carry-on luggage (not in your checked luggage).
Researching and complying with vaccination entry requirements for the countries visited on this itinerary is the responsibility of the traveler and not Tauck. Tauck is therefore not responsible for any expenses incurred or disruptions to travel caused by improper or incomplete vaccinations, or by the failure to provide proof of required vaccinations.
If you do not obtain the necessary vaccinations and proper documentation, you may be denied entry into one or more countries, or temporarily quarantined until the necessary vaccinations are administered, or until proper documentation is provided.
Age Recommendations ― Children 5 years of age or older at the time of travel are welcome on this Tauck journey. Based upon our experience with family travelers, we have a minimum recommended age for each journey to encourage comfort and enjoyment for all of our guests. All activities are available for children 8 years of age or older. All children must be accompanied on activities by a parent or guardian. At least one guest in the traveling party must be 21 years of age or older in order to make a reservation.
Babysitting ― Our journeys are designed for adults and children to share the wonder of discovery together. if you require babysitting services, your Tauck Director will put you in contact with the appropriate hotel staff with whom you may make babysitting arrangements. There is usually an additional fee for these services. Many hotels do offer on-site babysitting services; however, babysitting services may not be available at all of our hotels. Please note that our Tauck Directors are not responsible for providing babysitting services.
Safety and Welfare Responsibility ― We welcome the participation of child travelers on our exciting excursions. If you are traveling with a child on a Tauck journey, you have the sole responsibility for ensuring that that the child with whom you are traveling follows all rules of safety throughout the tour. By traveling with us, you release Tauck, Inc. and our partners of all liability for any risks and/or injuries to the child with whom you are traveling.
Special Travel Documentation for Children
Authorization for Travel
If you travel into or out of the U.S. with children under the age of 18, you should be aware of the following: because of increasing incidents of child abductions in disputed custody cases and because children are at risk as possible victims of child pornography, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) strongly recommends that unless the child is accompanied by both parents, you should have a notarized note from the child's other parent (or, in the case of a child traveling with grandparents, uncles or aunts, sisters or brothers, or friends, a note signed by both parents) stating that the parent(s) not traveling acknowledge that the parent(s), family members, etc. who are traveling into or out of the U.S. with the child have permission to do so. While CBP may not ask to see this documentation, if they do ask, and you do not have it, you may be detained until the circumstances of the child traveling without both parents can be fully assessed.
If there is no second parent with legal claims to the child (parent deceased, sole custody, etc.), other relevant paperwork, such as a court decision, birth certificate naming only one parent, or a death certificate, will be useful.
Many other countries also share this concern for children who travel without both parents. To ensure smooth travel, we require you to comply with the travel regulations of each country visited. This information may be obtained from a country's consulate or embassy.
Authorization for Emergency Medical Treatment
In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, a medical facility will require permission from the child's parents to provide treatment. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you bring along a letter from both parents (including other pertinent documents as cited above) authorizing emergency medical treatment for their child.
Children who are U.S. citizens must have a passport valid for at least six months beyond the completion of the journey.
We are not responsible for the disruption of travel caused by the improper documentation of any guest, including children traveling without both parents. While there is no definitive format or standard, click here to view a sample letter for guardians or one parent traveling with a child.
If you are traveling from the U.S., the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that your name, as it appears on your domestic or international airline ticket, must precisely match your name as it appears on the government-issued photo ID (i.e., passport or driver's license) that you present during security screening. The ID name must also match any additional airline data, such as frequent-flyer information. For example, if you present your driver's license to security and it says John T. Smith, your ticket must also say John T. Smith, not John Thomas Smith, Jack Smith, or any other variant. Your date-of-birth and gender information provided to the airline must also match your passport.
If you make your air travel arrangements through us, please ensure that the name you provide us precisely matches your name as shown on the identification you will use while traveling. If you make your own airline reservations, please ensure that the airline has the correct information.
For more information on the TSA's requirements, please visit their website by clicking here.
If you are traveling from an airport outside the jurisdiction of the U.S., you will need to determine what travel documentation and identification is required for that particular airport.
Due to heightened security regulations, certain items such as a metal nail file, pocketknife, cigarette lighter, or tweezers, and some liquid, gel, or aerosol items may not be permitted in your carry-on luggage. Please call your airline prior to departure to obtain current information on non-permissible carry-on items and recommended airport check-in times.
Bringing the right clothing for your trip is important – we've partnered with New Headings who provide an "easy-to-use, one-stop shop" for your Tauck travel needs, specifically selected for this trip. Click here to visit their site.
Your journey through the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar is casual. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is adaptable and allows for layering. Comfortable, cotton clothing is suggested. No special attire is required for dining, although you may wish to dress more formally for fine dining experiences and welcome and farewell dinners.
Most importantly, bring comfortable yet sturdy walking shoes that have already been broken-in. It is important that your shoes have good ankle support, as we visit some ancient sites where paths and stairs may be uneven and unpaved.
When visiting religious sites conservative dress is appropriate. This requires covering the shoulders, mid-drift, and knees. Proper attire for visits to mosques will be supplied by Tauck on tour.
The countries on this tour are Muslim countries. Muslim women's clothing often covers their arms, legs and hair. Western women are not subject to these customs, but very revealing clothing is never appropriate and conservative dress is advisable for both men and women. Shorts are rarely worn by either sex, and would be out of place in many areas. Topless sunbathing is prohibited and one-piece swimsuits are preferred, although two-piece swimsuits are acceptable at hotel pools.
Valet laundry services are available at all the hotels.
We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, a list of the generic names of your medication, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed.
Following is a list of recommended items to pack for travel to the Arabian Peninsula:

Each country we visit has its own customs clearing process. You should familiarize yourself with the specific required declarations of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Oman before you travel. In general, you are not permitted to bring live plants, fresh fruits and other produce items into most countries. You may find additional information by visiting VisaHQ.com by clicking here.
If you are a U.S. resident who will be returning to the U.S. at the end of the tour, you are entitled to a duty-free exemption based on the total value of merchandise purchase abroad, as long as you physically bring them with you. There are limits to the amount of alcohol that can be a part of this exemption. Certain restrictions apply to unaccompanied goods mailed from abroad to the U.S. Please call your local customs office or consult the U.S. government's customs regulations as contained in their publication entitled Know Before You Go.
If you are a resident of another country traveling internationally, please refer to your own country's rules and regulations regarding customs and duty-free shopping to ensure compliance upon your return.
Many countries levy Value Added Taxes (VAT) on consumer goods and services. (The tax rate may be higher for luxury items and lower for basic goods.) As a rule, if you are not a resident of the country (or of the country's intergovernmental economic community, e.g., the European Union) in which the purchase is made, you may be entitled to a VAT refund and should inquire about the refund policy where you shop.
The electrical current in these countries is 220/240 V, 50 Hz, AC. If you bring electrical devices that do not conform to this standard, then you may need to bring the appropriate adapters and converters.

I like reporting on the media. But how many mirrors does the world really need? I don't care, I find it fascinating to reflect on what newspeople think is news, and how they report it. If fate is right, that means eventually someone will report on me reporting on the media reporting on the news - ...

'Round my hometown, memories are fresh… and the people I've met are the wonders of my world. — Adele
I had a meeting with a client last night in my hometown of Mount Vernon, Ohio. It was nice to be home and have pizza with the in-laws, take a walk through the downtown, and send random texts to high school friends to see how they are doing.
As much as I love Columbus, it's nice to hop on the highway and drive back to the place that truly grounds me. I love my small town and am grateful for the members of the community who molded me and have become a little piece of who I am now, regardless of where I live.
P.S. That house is my FAVORITE house in town. I took about five million pictures of it in high school for a photography class. I am so inspired by the detail and the woodwork. I can imagine Alex and I sitting on the porch with the fur kids and a good book. Well, I'd have a book. Alex would probably have Sports Illustrated. But that doesn't sound quite as picturesque, does it? :)

Hoping to kill new restrictions, the state's largest business organization is crafting a policy calling for legalizing the status of 10 million or more people who have crossed into this country illegally.
The move comes as the state House of Representatives is to debate whether to penalize businesses that knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Arizona Chamber of Commerce spokesman Farrell Quinlan acknowledged his organization hopes the policy, though it has no force of law, will undermine support for the bill to penalize businesses.
At this point, the chamber's best hope rests not with House Republicans who generally support business interests but with Democrats who hold the necessary votes to either advance or kill legislation that could put errant companies out of business. That is because many Republicans back HB2595 despite the chamber's opposition.
The chamber also wants to maintain a supply of workers for the economy while keeping the state out of the business of enforcing immigration laws.
At issue is the proposal by Rep. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, to impose penalties on any employer found to have violated federal immigration laws. These carry their own penalties, ranging from fines to prison terms for employers that have a pattern of violating the statute.
Pearce's legislation would impose what amounts to a warning for any firm found guilty of a single violation.
A second offense would result in a six-month suspension of any state license, certification, permit or charter. And a third offense would mean permanent revocation.
The chamber's board is set to vote on the policy Friday, just days before Pearce's bill would come to the House floor. But Quinlan said the plan has been in the works since last summer.
The policy got a push with the crafting of the Protect Arizona Now initiative which aims to reduce illegal border crossings by denying public services to those who are not citizens or legal residents, a plan the chamber opposes. But the group likes the January proposal by President Bush for a new guest worker program.
But the timing of chamber action is crucial for Democrats who had provided the votes to get the measure out of its first committee.
"We passed it out . . . to get the chamber to sit down and have a serious talk about their positions on immigration," said House Minority Leader John Loredo, D-Phoenix. "We have done that and we are confident that they are moving in the right direction," Loredo continued. He called the chamber's positions on immigration "very favorable."
A key point of the chamber policy is saying the United States should not try to deport those already here.
Instead the draft policy says these people should be identified and registered.
"They need to be brought in from out of the shadows," Quinlan said.

Q: I've worked in our family business almost all my life, starting out sweeping the floors on the weekends when I was a kid. Since I graduated from college, I've climbed up the company ladder and feel that I'm now ready to take over the business so that my dad (who's 70 years old) can retire. But when I talk to dad about retiring, he laughs and says "Retire, reschmire. There's a lot more miles left on my tires, so stop trying to push me out the door." The rest of my family agrees it's time for Dad to retire and start enjoying life while he and Mom are still active and healthy. What can I do to get Dad to do the right thing for himself, his family and the family business?
A: Your whole family should give you a big pat on the back for having the wisdom and courage to talk to your dad about the dreaded "R" word while your dad is still active and healthy. Your question about how you can help your dad to "do the right thing" needs to be examined on three different, but related, levels: family issues, succession planning and tax planning.
Family Issues
There's a wise saying that "A family business is just like any other business, only more so." What that means is that the joys, sorrows and the ups and downs that every business owner faces can be dramatically amplified and multiplied when the business is a family business.
For example, it's bad enough to have to endure the tension of having a long-running dispute with your business partners about the direction of the company. But it's far worse to have the same long-running business dispute erupt into a verbal brawl during a family holiday get-together or during Joey's third birthday party.
So before you say anything further to your dad about the dreaded R word, you must be very careful to take the family temperature and thoroughly understand both the family and business history. You must avoid taking actions that could not only wreck the company, but also destroy family relationships.
If you think this is a difficult task, you're right. Doing this type of a "tiptoe through the minefield" of a family business can be both very difficult and immensely frustrating, particularly if you are simultaneously trying to run the business with the same family members that you are trying to negotiate with.
Many times, it's a great idea to start the process by enlisting the help of either a trusted business advisor (such as the business's accountant or lawyer) or a specialist in family business mediation to provide you with guidance and a level of objectivity along the way.
The main thing to keep in mind in coming to grips with this level is that while it is possible to buy another business to call your own, the same cannot be said for your family relationships. So be sure that your motto in dealing with family issues is "handle with care."

Everything about this man is smoke and mirrors. Get the DVD "Dreams From My Real Father" and watch it. I am glad some of this info is starting to get some air play. A lot of this was known long before. People just didn't want to see it. The ruined economy and fail foreign policy is opening their eyes.Noteworthy Comment +31

@Bayouwulf: You are correct about people. The problem is, many still don't want to see it. My sister, sister-in-law, former friends (I fell from grace in my trip over to the "dark side") and neighbors would refuse to read or view this and would dismiss it as "right wing extremist lies".Noteworthy Comment +22

The only problem with this report? The reason it won't change any hearts or minds? The source.

Valerie is the grand-daughter of Robert Taylor, director of the failed Chicago Housing Authority and namesake of Robert Taylor Homes – the prime example of an inner-city ghetto.

I pray for the day the Democrat party is held accountable for slavery, KKK, segregation, ghettos, racism, and the murder of at least 10,000 Republicans, blacks, and whites fighting for civil rights.Noteworthy Comment +24
@Bitterclinger: Actually, what I should do is quit bitching and just drop those idiots out of my life as much as possible. I already have for most beyond my family members. Your idea is a good one except that I have tried variants to no avail. The latest was a link to a demonstrable fact based article sent to a neighbor I mistakenly assumed still had residual cognitive skills. What I got back was an incredible screed about GWB and Dick Cheney being the worst human beings ever born and oscuma being akin to the messiah. Others have just demanded that I stop sending them "right wing drivel" or "this knd of stuff". But thanks for the tip!Noteworthy Comment +12
@grayscape: We too.+7
@Chief – yes, the problem is the source.
Until the LSM decides on their own, or are forced to report objectively, this story will never be heard or believed by the average democrat.
The real enemy is the media.Noteworthy Comment +20
@stirrin the B.S.
The LSM will NEVER be forced to report anything.
They are PRIVATE companies that have been bought & paid for and put whatever "news" they want to on T.V. for the drones who still watch that drivel.
I still get a laugh at people who think they are "informed" by watching T.V. or reading a newspaper!
The only way you get to know what is REALLY going on in the world today is to read several alternitive news websites like drudge, prison planet, weasel zippers, atlas shrugs,the blaze, WND,american thinker, naked DC, the hill, PJ media, ect. ect. ect. and form your OWN opinions.
iowntheworld & bigfurhat are in a catagory all by themselves……AT THE TOP!+9
@spy – I didn't mean forced in the sense that the government would make them. I meant forced by the consumer. In hindsight, I guess it was actually redundant to say "deciding on their own" and "forced".+3
The saddest part? The story will never be aired on the so-called MSM.+4
Here is an oldie but goodie that never was pursued but should have been.
We still need to see Obama's college transcripts and to find out why his has a social security number issued in Connecticut when he never lived there.+4

Funny tattoos, misspellings, product placement, celebrity portraits
Thanks to Shane for sending this in.
Wankers United!!
Photoshopped, look at the artifacts around the lettering.
This is an incorrect sentence. When the subject of the sentence is not mentioned, (i.e. "I," "she," "he,") the subject of the sentence is "You." What he is saying here is, "You masturbate to kill myself." Of course, that's not correct either. He needs to have "I" tattooed at the beginning of the sentence. Biatch!

Palawan Fauna >Palawan Hornbill
Common Name: PALAWAN HORNBILL
Scientific Name: Anthracoceros marchei
Local Name: Talusi (Palawan, Tagbanua)
Conservation Status: This species is classified by the IUCN as Vulnerable, in which its population was estimated to be reduced at least 20% for the past 10 years, and would continue for another 20% for the next 10 years based on a decline in area of occupancy, extent of occurrence, and/or habitat quality; as well as excessive levels of exploitation. Its population was also estimated to number less than 10,000 mature individuals with a continuous decline of at least 10% within ten years. This means that in the next century (100 years), the species would be extinct. Trade is controlled in order to avoid utilization incompatible with their survival under CITES Appendix 2.
An uncommon species found in forest and forest edge staying mostly within the canopy.
It is an endemic species restricted and found only in the Palawan Faunal Region. It has been recorded in the islands of Balabac, Busuanga, Calauit, Culion, Coron, and on the Mainland.
The species is reported to travel in small noisy groups or in pairs, with a communal roosting site. It feeds on fruits, insects, and small reptiles.
