Dr Frances Saunders CB FREng
Frances Saunders held many important scientific posts within the UK Ministry of Defence and wider Government.
In particular, she was Director of the Centre for Defence Analysis; Director, Research Councils; and Chief Executive of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory.
Having retired from Government Service in 2012, she is currently President of the Institute of Physics.
For 32 ISMOR, papers and posters are sought on all aspects of the application of analysis to defence and security.
We welcome practice-based papers that explore case studies, demonstrate new techniques, shed light on our most important issues or
that bring a multi-disciplinary approach to solving today's problems (complementing OR with disciplines such as management science,
risk, economics and human sciences). We especially seek practical modelling and simulation papers, case studies showing impact and
lessons learned, and examples that illustrate the strengths and weaknesses of different techniques.
There will be special sessions addressing conflict resolution and management of OR, and also one or more sessions with fewer papers
but with greater time to allow in-depth exploration of issues.
On the Wednesday there will be workshops, a dedicated poster session and tutorials covering techniques and
case studies. These will include briefings and workshops for less-experienced analysts, covering what OR is, current techniques and
their applications, and the history and evolution of defence and security OR. Early-career analysts giving presentations or
posters will be able to attend that day at a specially reduced rate.

Home for Christmas! Triumphant Return to Base Camp for Antarctica2 Tractor Expedition
(15:20 hrs CET, 20 December 2014, Novo Runway, Antarctica): The Antarctica2 bid to drive an MF 5610 agricultural tractor on an ambitious 5000km round trip to the South Pole arrived safely back at Novo Runway on the Antarctic coast today.
In accomplishing the mission, the MF 5610 has become the first standard farm tractor equipped with tyres to reach the Geographic South Pole overland.
For 'Tractor Girl' and Lead Driver, 38-year-old Manon Ossevoort, her journey proved that, given belief and determination, dreams really do come true. Relying on the dependable power of the Massey Ferguson tractor and the expert support of her polar team, Manon's 12-year dream to drive a tractor 'to end of the world' is now complete.
"I can't even begin to describe the emotions I'm feeling now," she said. "Elation at such a wonderful expedition, relief in getting back to Novo Runway successfully. I can't wait to start telling the story and hopefully encouraging others to follow their dreams."
The adventure in the hostile Antarctic environment made huge demands on the team and equipment. A belief in the reliability of the tractor and the crew members to do their jobs was a touchstone of the expedition and enshrined in Antarctica2's message #BelieveInIt. The difficult conditions – bitter cold, high altitude, solid ice, snowdrifts, thick freezing fog and exceptionally rough terrain – all took their toll. However, both humans and machine showed remarkable resilience in the face of adversity and rose to the challenge of this once-in-a lifetime opportunity.
With its relentless physical and mental pressures, the polar trek drew on all the team's experience, willpower and endurance to win through. In very short periods of time, emotions could roller-coaster from exhilaration, elation and excitement to frustration and disappointment.
For the Massey Ferguson tractor, the expedition was the ultimate test of strength and durability, exerting massive strain on the components and really challenging the integrity of its design. Such an environment, where even the simplest repair is made difficult by the freezing temperatures, called for a straightforward, dependable tractor. During the 28-day 5000 km journey, the MF 5610 required only a few running repairs and the engine clocked up an impressive 760 hours of operation, which is more than many farms would do in two years of normal work.
Campbell Scott, Massey Ferguson Director Sales Engineering and Brand Development said: "We send our warmest congratulations to Manon Ossevoort and the Antarctica2 crew on their magnificent achievement. They have shown extraordinary teamwork and fortitude on this epic trip."
"In one of the most barren places on earth, we hope that the Antarctica2 expedition has served to highlight to a non-agricultural audience the way farmers are rising to the challenge of feeding the world. Modern farm equipment and appropriate technology can help make the most of the world's cultivable land and create sustainable farm business for our long-term food security."
The Antarctica2 MF 5610 expedition tractor will be a highlight of Massey Ferguson's stand at the upcoming SIMA Show in Paris 22-26 February 2015.
Pole within reach as team battles arduous conditions
(07 December 2014, Antarctica) Day 16: The most difficult terrain yet encountered on the Antarctica2 expedition has made the final stages of the mission to reach the South Pole using a Massey Ferguson MF 5610 tractor some of the most challenging yet.
With 300km left to the Pole, seasoned members of Tractor Girl Manon Ossevoort's support team say they have never experienced such bad travelling conditions. Although the weather has been good, with hazy yet sunny blue skies, the snow underfoot has been extremely soft, resulting in speeds as little as 4km/hr (2.5mph).
In one recent eight-hour shift the tractor faced soft, sinking conditions every few hundred metres, but the MF 5610 and its drivers proved their ability to cope with the tough going.
"By downshifting into the lowest gear, A1, and engaging the diff lock, the tractor would climb out slowly and we could make progress again," explains Expedition Lead Guide, Matty McNair.
The fact the MF 5610's transmission can stand up to such extreme duress is testament to its design and construction, believes Campbell Scott, Massey Ferguson Director Sales Engineering and Brand Development.
"These are conditions few farmers are ever likely to face, but the resilience of the tractor transmission shows just how well it is made, just as the resilience of the team shows what they are made of too."
Tough for the team but goal is in sight
(3 December 2014, Antarctica) Day 12: It's tough going for the team at the centre of the Antarctica2 expedition as they get closer to their goal of reaching the South Pole. The harsh terrain is taking its toll on the Massey Ferguson MF 5610 tractor and its drivers, but with the halfway point now behind them, both are bearing up well.
While the weather has continued to be favourable (temperature is now just minus 24 degrees C!), the hard-packed ice underneath the snow has little 'give' in it, meaning that traversing the terrain can be tiring for the drivers. There have been some fuel issues with the support trucks, caused by the bitterly cold conditions, but so far this hasn't proved a problem for the MF 5610.
The team has now reached the Russian 83 refuel camp, where the hosts welcomed their visitors with hot soups and shots of vodka. The stop provided a chance to refuel and begin fuel pump repairs on one of the support trucks before continuing south.
As lead driver Manon Ossevoort carries with her to the South Pole the dreams of all the people she has met on her journey, those whose job it is to chart the team's progress are busy trying to capture every key moment. This ranges from the highs of good progress to the lows of trying to make technology work in a harsh climate. Videos and photos are being taken throughout each day, before being edited and put on the relevant expedition websites . With no high-speed wifi in Antarctica, material must be transferred using the Iridium Satellite system, and a single short video clip, for example, can sometimes take half a day to upload.
Antarctica2 Tractor Expedition Now Halfway to South Pole!
(2 December 2014, Antarctica. Latitude: 80 degrees South) Day 11: The Antarctica2 expedition to take an MF 5610 tractor 5000 km from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back has reached the first major milestone and is now halfway to the Pole.
It has been an exceptionally tough trip. In the 11 days it took to reach this 1250 km milestone, the Massey Ferguson tractor and team have had to tackle dangerous crevasse fields, steep climbs, sastrugi (solid ice-waves as much as metre high), soft snow and temperatures as low as minus 56 degrees C with wind chill. The tractor and crew have taken a real pounding in the hostile conditions. However, both are proving highly resilient and rising to the extreme challenges of life on the ice.
On reaching the 1250 km mark, Lead Driver, 'Tractor Girl', Manon Ossevoort, said: "The journey to the halfway point has been hard, much harder than I expected so I am very relieved to reach this stage. Driving conditions have been really difficult but the MF 5610 tractor and the whole team have coped magnificently. The tractor has been strong, steady and sure, and it's incredible to know that every hour we drive, we are closer to the Geographical South Pole."
To mark the halfway milestone, team members rewarded themselves with a chicken curry dinner and a celebratory drink! They are now heading towards the Pole at full speed.
Antarctica2 seeks to emulate the achievement of Sir Edmund Hillary who led the first mechanised expedition to the South Pole in 1958 using Ferguson TE20 tractors.
Campbell Scott, Massey Ferguson Director Sales Engineering and Brand Development commented: "As tractor supplier to the expedition, we have been enthralled by the daily updates from the ice. We always knew it was going to be a big challenge for both the MF 5610 tractor and the team. Hearing the reports coming back, we now fully understand why this is 'the toughest journey on Earth'. We applaud their strength and determination. At the same time, we can imagine the brave souls of Sir Edmund Hillary and his party battling the elements in their trusty Ferguson TE20 tractors all those years ago. The hearts of the whole Massey Ferguson team back at base are with the intrepid 2014 Antarctica2 travellers as they make their way steadily towards their goal."
Antarctica2 expedition sets off for South Pole challenge
(19.55 CET, 22 November 2014, Novo Runway, Antarctica): After three years' meticulous planning and preparation, the exciting Antarctica2 tractor expedition departed into the vast icescape today for its 5000 km journey to the South Pole and back.
In buoyant mood and excited about the challenges ahead, the multi-national team left for this modern-day polar adventure with their red Massey Ferguson MF 5610 tractor forging a path across the snow. Following a period of storms and a wind chill factor down to minus 50 degrees C, the weather conditions for departure were good, and clear skies made for the perfect start to the expedition.
For 'Tractor Girl', Manon Ossevoort, it is the beginning of a dream come true as she realises her long-held ambition to take a tractor to 'the end of the world.'
"It seemed like such an impossibly big dream but it's all falling into place – now it's mission possible!" said 38-year-old Manon, Expedition Ambassador and Lead Driver. "I'm like a child on Christmas morning – full of excitement and anticipation."
"As tractor supplier to the expedition, we are thrilled to see the team finally depart on this once-in-a-lifetime challenge," remarks Campbell Scott, Massey Ferguson Director Sales Engineering and Brand Development. "It's a bold mission and promises to be a fascinating story of strength, endurance and team work. Our MF 5610 is ready to face the extreme elements and repeat the achievement of our TE20 tractors which took explorer Sir Edmund Hillary to the South Pole in 1958."
In a message to the Antarctica2 team congratulating them on their departure, Campbell said: "The hopes and aspirations of the entire worldwide family of our famous red brand, together with the pride, skill, legacy and vision inherited from our founders ride with you as you travel. We wish you a safe journey."
The expedition team will be up against temperatures as low as minus 50 degrees C, altitude up to 3400m, with both soft snow and hard-packed ice underfoot. Along the way, they can expect to face strong winds, raging blizzards and whiteouts. Depending on conditions, the expedition is scheduled to reach the Geographical South Pole sometime in early December.

SMASH Season 2 Premiere Ratings Take a Dip
Last night was the two-hour premiere of Season 2 of NBC's Golden Globe-nominated musical drama series SMASH, and according to Deadline.com the ratings took a major dip. Compared to the Season 1 premiere, the show's viewers were down 71%, and 39% from the season 1 finale. 4.47 million viewers tuned in last night, compared to the Season 1 premiere turnout of 11.4 million viewers.
Click here to read the full article.
In the episodes, back from a successful run in Boston, Eileen, Julia and Tom are blindsided by both personal and professional obstacles as they seek to take "Bombshell" to Broadway. Karen consults her new mentor, Broadway star Veronica "Ronnie" Moore, as she finds herself on the brink of fame, but her success may come at cost to Ivy. A new talent is discovered in an unexpected place. Meanwhile, Derek copes with a damaging accusation. The second season begins with "Bombshell" running into financial trouble that threatens the production. Meanwhile, Karen is mentored by a Broadway star and discovers a new artist in an unexpected place; and Julia faces a personal crisis with her husband.
From Universal Television in association with DreamWorks Television, "Smash" stemmed from an idea of executive producer and multiple Emmy and Oscar winner Steven Spielberg ("ER," "Schindler's List"). The series' executive producers also include Joshua Safran ("Gossip Girl"), Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Oscar-winning "Chicago," "Hairspray"), Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey ("United States of Tara," "The Borgias"), Tony and Grammy Award winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman ("Hairspray," "Catch Me If You Can"), Jim Chory ("Heroes," "American Dreams") and Theresa Rebeck.

Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Mark P. Wetjen On The Proposed On Cross Border Margin (Washington, DC)
Date 29/06/2015
Today's release lays out a proposed framework for the application of the commission's margin rules to un-cleared swaps (the "Margin Rule") in cross-border transactions. Interestingly, the release states that there was no consensus among those who filed comments in response to the commission's Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking ("ANPR") last fall, which laid out three alternative, cross-border approaches: the Guidance Approach, the Prudential Regulators' Approach, and the Entity Approach. To the extent, therefore, that the release was designed to identify a consensus view concerning which of these three approaches was best, it failed.

Date 29/06/2015
I'm pleased to support this new proposed rule on cross-border application of uncleared margin requirements for swap dealers and major swap participants.

Statement Of CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo On The Proposed Rule On The Cross-Border Application Of The Margin Requirements (Washington, DC)
Date 29/06/2015
The Commission's proposal for the cross-border application of margin requirements for uncleared swaps is a highly complicated labyrinth. I look forward to the jolt to U.S. economic growth that will occur in the 3rd quarter of 2015 as a result of the thousands of billable hours that will be expended by lawyers and other professionals, who will have to read, interpret and respond to this tangled regulatory construct.

STORRS, Conn. -- Connecticut freshman Tina Charles came within a blocked shot of recording the first triple double at UConn in 18 years.
Charles had 12 points, 10 rebound and tied a school-record with nine blocks to help No. 7 UConn run its Big East conference record to 8-0 with a 64-47 win over Notre Dame on Saturday night.
Charles, who has 42 blocks this season, said coach Geno Auriemma has been getting on her to improve that part of her game.
"I wouldn't really say I work on it," she said. "I just have to play in help defense, so if like Renee [Montgomery] brings a girl toward me, I'm just going to try to block that shot."
Kalana Greene added 10 points, seven rebounds and four blocks for Connecticut (18-2), which had 16 rejections in the game.
"It changed the game a lot," said Notre Dame freshman Erica Williamson. "You can't go into a game like this having practiced against people that can block so many shots. Their athletic ability is through the roof."
Williamson had 12 points to lead Notre Dame (13-7, 4-3 Big East) and another freshman, Crystal Erwin added 11.
"Our freshmen have come along quickly and are doing great things for us," Irish coach Muffet McGraw said. "It makes me excited about the future when I watch our team, because we came into this we little hope from people outside our locker room. I think we're in great shape right now."
The Huskies jumped to an early 8-4 lead, in what was a sloppy game, as Renee Montgomery hit her first three shots.
Notre Dame shot just 24 percent from the floor, and hit just one of its first 11 attempts from the field. But the Irish were able to stay in the game thanks to 15 first-half turnovers by Connecticut, eight in the first 10 minutes of the game.
The two teams combined for 45 giveaways -- 27 turnovers for Connecticut and 18 for Notre Dame.
"It looked like we were our own worst enemy for a while there," said Auriemma.
UConn led just 29-23 at the half, and got its first double-digit lead, 35-25, three minutes into the second half on a spin move and bucket by Charde Houston.
The Huskies stretched that to 18 after Erwin was called for an intentional foul. Houston hit one foul shot, and Charles hit a turnaround on the ensuing possession to put UConn up 54-36.
The Huskies have won their last three games against the Irish, and have won 196 consecutive games against unranked opponents at home.
During that time, the Huskies have had stars such as Diana Taurasi, Rebecca Lobo and Sue Bird. But according to UConn officials, Laura Lishness is the only UConn player to get a triple double, recording 14 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists back in March, 1989, against Providence in the Big East Tournament.
Charles said it's something she feels she can accomplish.
"Probably in the future, you know, next game," she said. "I don't aim to get a triple-double, I just aim just to get a W."
Notre Dame was playing its second consecutive game against a ranked opponent. The Irish lost to No. 17 Marquette on Tuesday, 71-62, and play at Pittsburgh on Jan. 31.

In honor of Earth Week, Environmental Protection Agency chief Gina McCarthy is hitting the road for an act on climate change tour.
The tour will center on asking the public to take various small steps that would help reduce carbon pollution in their daily lives, the EPA said.
McCarthy will promote President Obama's climate agenda and explain how it aims to decrease threats to public health.
On Monday, McCarthy will appear on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart. The rest of the week is packed with a visit to Boston, to throw out the first pitch at a Red Sox game, and a trip to Ohio to discuss the health impacts of air pollution.
On Thursday, McCarthy will be in Georgia to talk about the impact and costs of climate change.
The tour will wrap up Friday in Tennessee, where McCarthy will be joined by Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and Shaun Donovan, secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Ice still loves CoCo.
Just days after a very public outburst over wife CoCo Austin's PDA-packed pictures with another man, Ice-T is ready to forgive, forget, and move on. On Monday, the rapper and "Law & Order: SVU" actor, 54, reunited with his glamour model spouse, 33, in New York, where they hit up an event at the Last Rites Gallery. To see a photo from their night out, click here.
PHOTOS: Celebs caught cheating
Wearing matching black outfits -- complete with matching leather jackets -- the Ice Loves CoCo stars put up a united front as they happily posed together for photographers.
Incidentally, posing for the camera is what got Austin in trouble with her husband in the first place. On Friday, Dec. 8, the married model surfaced in a series of affectionate Instagram snapshots with rapper AP.9 in Vegas, where she is currently starring in the burlesque revue Peepshow. (Austin made her debut earlier this month, replacing former headliner and fellow blonde bombshell Holly Madison, who is nearly seven months pregnant with her first child.)
PHOTOS: Cheating scandals of the year
The photos, which have since been deleted, show Austin cozing up to AP.9 as he kisses her cheek and buries his face in her neck. Not surprisingly, Ice-T (born Tracy Marrow) was less than thrilled to see his wife of 11 years with another man.
"Most of [the pics are] disrespectful and in bad taste," he tweeted Dec. 8. "She's made me look and feel like s--t."
VIDEO: CoCo and Ice renew their vows
Austin initially tried to downplay the incident but later issued a remorseful mea culpa on Twitter: "Ice is right, the pics I took with this man were in poor taste & I disrespected my husband," she shared. "However the pics were the only thing that happened."
"I feel so sad. The bottom line is I love Ice & I can understand why he's upset," she added. "There's no excuse for my actions. I'm so sorry baby & to everyone."

Lifetime cost of a dog
Started by tenar , Feb 04 2013 09:37 PM

Posted 04 February 2013 - 09:37 PM
What has your dog cost you through it's lifetime?
I was talking with my mum earlier and she was trying to dissuade me from planning another dog when my old girl dies, as they are just getting so expensive to keep. We are both dog lovers and I have never imagined not having a dog. But the conversation has gotten me thinking, as it is definitely true that we have spent a fortune on this dog in recent years.
I estimate the following costs:
Purebred puppy (from a wonderful breeder): $850 (14 years ago, would be more now)
Setup equipment: $400 (I was a student, would be more now)
Dog school for about 6 months: $300. (Don't remover the cost, guessing here)
Desexing: 300
Food: prob an average of $10/week over 14 years. More in recent years as her needs got more complicated due to poor health.
Vet: $200/year for vaccinations and checkup
$600 in accident/illness care for first few years (minor stuff
$1500/ year for last several years. I'm guessing this, as it has been lots of smaller things due to an ongoing health problem, common in the breed, that has all sorts of knock on effects. I do know its been thousands and thousands, including major surgery and heaps of blood tests.
Transport overseas and back, quarantine. Prob a total cost of $4000. I lived overseas for 3 years, had to take her.
So, assuming I haven't forgotten anything major (I do all grooming, she has never been in a kennel except for quarantine), that comes to:
First year: $2550
Ages 1 to 5: $900/ year approx, 3600 for the 4 years
Ages 6 to 14: $2700/year approx, 17600 for 8 years
Total of around $27750 for her life so far (14 years).
This is for a small dog (mini schnauzer) with a common health problem (canine hyperlipidemia).
What do you think your dog costs you?
Posted 04 February 2013 - 09:52 PM
My answer is who cares. It's more what NOT having her would cost me. It would cost me my best friend and lots of happiness.
Not trying to disrespect your question - the honest truth is I am scared to think about what it has cost in financial terms!
Food = $15 per week for 150 weeks = $2250
Treats = $10 per week for 150 weeks = $1500
Drugs = $120 months for 20 months = $2400
Adoption fees = $350
Obedience = $320
Training programs = 680
Behaviourist = $1200
Toys inc. expensive food dispensing ones = $300
Kennel = $180
Mats, Beds = $400
Leads, harnesses = $200
Collars = $120
Council tags = $120
Insurance = $59 x 150 weeks = $2006
New back doors x 4 = $2500
New interior doors x 2 = $800
Eaten weatherboards = $1200
New side gate = $680
Walker = 60 pw x 52 weeks = $3120
minding $80 pw x 2 weeks = $160
Misc eaten shoes, sunnies etc = $500 approx
Out of pocket vet = $800
Daycare = $1200
Boarding = $600
Damage to new property = $1000
$23,506 .... I've had her just over 3 years .....
Nah, still worth it
Must be a huge figure for those involved in breeding or training!
Posted 04 February 2013 - 10:11 PM
$190 for the dog
$100 for things to try and contain him in the yard
$500 for a containment fence after others failed
$70 x 3 for new wire each time we have had to move
$150 for a replacement collar for the fence
$350/yr for pet insurance
$800 for when he had a tick prior to insurance
$300 for when he has been sick and kept in the vet overnight
$10 every 6 weeks for a tick collar
$160/yr for wormers
$30ish a month for food
$10 a year for a replacement name tag - they keep falling off
$400 for desexing & microchipping
$45 a year for rego
$20/night for someone to look after him if we go away
$300 for when he jumped onto a chair and it fell back in and smashed a window
$200 for random things he chewed
$200 for toys I have bought him that he has then chewed through & the one that he couldn't he didn't use
$200 for a kennel
$40 for a dog bed
$10 a year on new mats/blankets etc as needed
& then there is the burden of very limited housing options. I bought him when I owned a house. Ex & I split & now I am renting. Very hard to find a house that allows pets...if you add the extra $50 a week for the only house that would take us with a dog...that adds up too
My parents have just spent $1200 on their dogs teeth. Also $300 on injections for arthritis
Posted 05 February 2013 - 07:34 AM
Jellyblush I'm not at all suggesting that it might not be worth it. Or that having a dog in the family is about the money at all. But I do think it's worth us considering what the lifetime cost of having a pet might be, as far as it can be predicted.
When it comes down to it, if having another dog in our family would cost us a year's worth of my income, we might, for example, decide that it would be better for the family, especially the kids, if I spent another year at home with them instead of having that dog. I think decisions like these are important.
The thing is that 15 years ago, when I decided to get a dog, there was no way of predicting the massive increase in the cost of vet bills that we have seen today. The vets can do a lot more things now, but it all comes at a price. There was also no way of predicting that I would return from overseas with a dog who had been insured when overseas but was now uninsurable in Australia, meaning that we have had to pay for 100% of vet costs since then, and they have been substantial.
That's why I'm asking. Not to be horrified, or even surprised, at people's decisions. But trying to get an idea as to whether our costs are normal, high, or even lower than average for a dog who lives to a ripe old age but has some health problems along the way.
(off to give doggy girl the antibiotics we got at the yet-another-$200-vet-visit on Sunday, plus the $93-for-a-3.5g-tube insanely expensive but very effective eye ointment. <sigh>.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 07:59 AM
On top of the initial outlay for our dogs (one breeder rescue other we purchased)
$1500 for pup ++++ all puppy paraphernalia
I dont like to add up all costs but DH and I worked out it probably costs us around $200-$250 per month for 2 dogs (german shepherds so lots of food) and one cat.
This is averaging out any vet bills, food, new beds, toys, bones.
Our cat alone has cost us $1000 in vet bills in last 3 months (something different everytime)
Oh and did I add the selling house and moving to a property so they could run around and not bother neighbors with their barking ... probably at a cost $150K++ alone.
And yes they move was for us as well, but was brought forward by about 4 years to suit our dogs
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:03 AM
The life time cost of a pet is spread out, and does not come all at once. So as long as you can afford the cost at the time - who cares! You could apply the same calculations to the daily cup of coffee at the coffee shop on workdays ( a while ago someone figured that out for a 20 year period and it was huge!), or children or your regular hobby.
if you can afford it now the love and joy cannot be calculated!
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:11 AM
$200 for vaccines! Ours charge $94.10
In the last two months:
$100 vet bill for consult and meds for rash
$94.10 vet bill for vacines
$175 - Kennel stay
$175 - kennel stay
$80 - Vet bill for kennel cough
$21.90 - for antibotics
$195 - for replacement barking collar
$30 - christmas present
$10 a week for treats ($80ish in 2 months)
$15 a week for food ($120ish in 2 months)
So around $1070 for the last 2 months, and he wonders why mum is the one giving him his hair cut and not the groomer.
However these are no where near what a lot of people pay so I am very happy. I do think people need to loook beyond it costing $7 a week in food, but I suppose it is like children there many people who don't think ahead to how expensive it will likely get.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:17 AM
A lot of the costs of a pet can be vastly reduced with a bit of creativity.
Upfront purchase cost......young adult pedigree dogs are often much, much cheaper than puppies and can often be purchased for the cost of desexing.
Dogzonline mature dog listings is a good source for these.
Bedding and toys.....op shops and garage sales. Kennels and fencing materials don't need to be new,garage sales and ads in local papers are good places to start.
Fresh meat can be bought in bulk and frozen, kibble is cheaper in larger sized bags. The better quality kibble is often more economical because you feed so little of it.
Flea and worming products can be bought cheaper online than at the vets or pet shop. Buy larger portions and split them up for smaller dogs.
Desexing costs vary greatly from vet to vet, shop around. I've recently been quoted up to $200 difference for desexing a 25 kg female dog.
Food bowls can be bought cheaply from discount stores, or ext to nothing from op shops.
Buy cheap collars and leads for puppies and a good leather set for an adult. It will last the life of the dog.
Access community obedience clubs, they are heaps cheaper than private trainers and lots of fun.

Can I ask what set-up equipment is?
My last dog:
Cost of dog: Free, already desexed and vaxed.
Cost of leash, collar: $20.00 USD.
Food: Less than 10.00 a week.
Porridge to bathe her in for her grotty skin: $10.00 a year?
Frontline: $40.00 quarterly.
Fishoil supplement: $10.00 quarterly? Just regular human-grade fishoil tablets from the drugstore.
No major vet expenses, she was adult when we got her and had cost her previous owners considerably in dental bills but was reasonably healthy and settled for us.
Let's say 25 bucks a year in assorted toys and treats? If that.
Didn't want anything except to be allowed to follow people from room to room and to sleep on squishy furniture. I think half the toys and things were hand-me-downs from the previous dog. Probably saved me at least 200 dollars in gym membership though because for the first couple years we had her she needed lots and lots of walking.
We didn't leave her in the yard so she had no containment costs, and we never kenneled her or anything. Emotional costs and not being able to leave her places (seperation anxiety) etc. were far more "feel the pinch" than financial costs. Despite hardly barking at all, she also can scream exactly like a panicky toddler.
We also missed the cute puppy year and the first 7 years after that.

Can I ask what set-up equipment is?
I have no idea either, I think I spent $90 at Kmart grabbing some blankets, 2 beds, toys, food bowel, water bowel, new collar etc. I then a few weeks later got a kennel which the dog has used NEVER! so gave it to someone. Perhaps it is the above stuff?
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:28 AM
When we get a new dog, it gets a second hand blanket for a bed, a new collar and lead, a cheap bowl and it shares the toys, brushes, grooming equipment we already have.
My last dog cost me a lot to buy (she has a top notch pedigree and will be a breeding b**ch), but not much since and most of the higher costs have been associated with showing her, which most people don't do.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:36 AM
Oh, I don't want to think about the cost! Our dog brings us such joy and is an important member of our family. We found her at a shelter and fell in love right away, she has turned out to be so gentle and affectionate that we can't imagine life without her. Last year she had to have X-rays and tests that found out she has mild hip dysplasia and some arthritis, so we know that in future we may be up for some big vet bills, but there's no doubt that we will find a way to pay them.
I grew up with pets and I think it's great for kids to learn how to value and look after animals as they grow up as well; I know it helped me; I learned not to approach unfamiliar animals, and to respect their rights. I can't really put a $ value on what she brings to our lives - it's worth it.
I also like our cat... but you know, cats are different More independent and scratchy!!
Posted 05 February 2013 - 08:55 AM
meh. I am very much in the who-cares brigade.
I got a dog for free once. "free dog' he was awesome! we already had a dog so the set up was nothing (already had bedding old lead etc). But he ended up being the most expensive dog we ever had... he had chronic pancreatitis (needed lots of vet treatment and special food), epilipsy (vet bills and pills) and then diabetes (vet bills and insulin injections).
but who cares! he was the best dog I ever had and he had no idea that he was sick ever. so lovely.
always having dogs has taught me a lot about compassion to animals.
as a kid it taught me a lot about responsiblity, caring for another, self-less ness.
I also learnt those things because my grandma lived with us in her old age. Sure it might have cost us some money to have her in the house but you know - she needed us and we loved her. Caring for her was not always fun but it is nice to do things out of love.
I guess I am not really one to put a price on love.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 09:03 AM
I dont really see how a dog needs to cost so much if you really want it. But thats my mindset on alot of things. Honestly our dog barely costs us anything. We went to the council and got a discount certificate to get him microchipped/de sexed, i think it was $50 all up. I get the worming/fleaing treatment online and for our cats too and it very cheap. He also didnt cost us anything to buy him as he's a Cavoodle, and was a give away. He doesnt have fancy kennels, beds, leads. He is loved and isnt that all that really matters?
Posted 05 February 2013 - 09:09 AM
One of my girls has cost over 10k in vet bills alone, just spent another 1k on the other girl this month so I am not adding it up!
They're worth it. Most days
Posted 05 February 2013 - 09:09 AM
The important costs that are a must is good food and vet care.
All the rest you can be creative with.
Dogs don't need expensive toys, bed, grooming equipment and leads and collars.
Those things can be worked in to your budget.
Training and socialization can be done with a reputable book and a dog park.
A proffessional trainer comes in handy when you come across problems that you need one on one help with.
A dogs cost can be as cheap and expensive as you want it t be.
Adopting a rescue is pretty much free considering you get you get them desexed and vaccinated.
A breeder will sometimes also adopt out older dogs for the cost of desexing as well.
Things can get expensive when you buy pure bred registered puppies, especially rarer breeds.
Or if you are silly enough to buy from pets hops and designer breeds.
Another consideration is getting breeds with good heath reputation.
I have cairn terriers and they are aged 9 and 7.
My 7 year old girl has never been to the vet other than vaccinations and desexing. My 9 year old has been twice due to eating bones whole and getting tummy aches .
Self induced due to being a greedy pig meaning he needs to get on a drip and monitored with spain medication until they go through his system.
But other than that they are incredibly healthy.
And are known to be so as a breed.
However brachy breeds and large breeds will tend to have more on going problems that might dent the bank balance.
So to reduce vet bills get breeds with a good health record.
Posted 05 February 2013 - 12:28 PM
Hmm, PPs who are suggesting that people like me are going overboard with costs like food and setup and not seeing the whole picture. Some dogs, especially those with ongoing health problems, do cost more to feed.
My setup costs (the $300 or was it $400 I quoted were probably an underestimate, went like this):
- $200 on a decent set of clippers. For a breed that requires clipping every 6 weeks this has saved me thousands in getting it done professionally.
- $100 or so (guessing, might have been more than that) on a good solid crate that meets the airline requirements for travel crates.
- $10 or so on a collar, $20 or so on toys, $30, iirc, on a carry-basket that is still going strong after 14 years (one of those things with a shoulder strap - I used it to take a rather wobbly old girl to the vet in on Sunday). The rest I'm guessing on incidentals like a brush and comb and scissors. Anyway, I hope you take my point that I wasn't going overboard on this at all.
The current food costs are over $10 a week. Maybe closer to $15 or $20 (shudder). My dog has had to mostly eat skinless chicken breast (low in fat and very digestible), plus rice and veg, for the last 8 or so years. I vary it with other low fat meats, but it's supposed to be mostly chicken. This helps to manage her hyperlipidemia and the associated digestive and liver problems that has caused. But it's not cheap, the more so because I refuse to buy battery-farmed chicken. So that's about $9 a week on meat alone, let alone the other stuff, treats, etc, all of which have to be the expensive ones because the cheap ones are loaded with fat that could give her a pancreatic attack.
Maybe $200 for a vaccination visit is high, but it doesn't seem that high to me if you include worm tablets, flea medication, all the sorts of things that you get on a "yearly checkup" visit. Not to mention blood tests to monitor her condition, etc. I rarely get away from the vet for less than $200, and we go several or more times a year these last few years.
Again, those of you who have a very healthy animal won't have those costs. But here's the thing: I bought a healthy animal, of a healthy breed, from a very reputable breeder who did all the right things. Her problem wasn't identified until middle age (she was 5 or 6, I think). The problem is common in that breed (and others), but was not recognised at the time I decided on the breed and, as far as I know, can't be tested for. So there is basically nothing I could have knowingly done to avoid incurring these costs. It could happen to any of you too, at any time.
Anyway, enough with the self-justification I know I have done right by my dog. But I would really like to keep hearing from people with cheap dogs and those with expensive dogs about how much they cost you over how many years, as I do think it's a good conversation to have when any of us are considering getting a new animal, with the associated lifelong commitment.

Hmm, Let's see..
Purchase price $10 (she came from Wagga Pound, the price was the microchip cost)
Desexing $140 (I think)
Vaccinations $80 a year.
Flea medications...stab in the dark...God. I bought the big packet from ebay and split it between both dogs and the cats. Big pack was $80 for three months supply...so...maybe $4 a month?
Worming...Ebay again...maybe $2 a month?
Food...negligable...$3 a week?
Raw food $3 a week (lamb flaps)
Toys/bedding/bowls $20 a year maybe?
Clippers/brushes etc $30. I got a pair of Wahl clippers on gumtree for $20. They're perfect and I taught myself.
Treats $10 month
Not telling her purchase price lol...it was large.
Desexing $250 - she was already chipped.
Vaccs $80 a year
Vet visit and cream $90. She got a hot spot last year.
Flea med $6 month (bigger dog, so bigger ratio of the split)
Worming $3 a month
Food...Maybe $6 a month. They both eat Bonnie, cause that's what she was eating at the breeders.
Raw $7 a week
Toys/bedding/bowls $30 a year. She DID cost me more, but has grown up and stopped detroying all the toys, so they're lasting now!
Brushes - $20 a year. She only really uses a rake comb.
Hydrobaths - $40 a year. Her hair really needs the high powered dryers, so I take her out to the hydro every few months. I brush her weekly, or more often in coat blow.
Treats $20 a month
Snik has cost me more in kids toys...she chewed everything at one stage! But she's grown up. I wouldn't be without either. The dogs give me more than I give them. I'll always have a dog in my house.

I dont really see how a dog needs to cost so much if you really want it. But thats my mindset on alot of things. Honestly our dog barely costs us anything. We went to the council and got a discount certificate to get him microchipped/de sexed, i think it was $50 all up. I get the worming/fleaing treatment online and for our cats too and it very cheap. He also didnt cost us anything to buy him as he's a Cavoodle, and was a give away. He doesnt have fancy kennels, beds, leads. He is loved and isnt that all that really matters?
This is great if you have a healthy dog without issues. If your dog develops health issues of any kind, physical or mental, you then have an expensive dog - there is absolutely not a single thing you can do about it if you want to keep your dog, you have to pay.
I pay very little for food etc. The only reason I spend on toys is because environmental enrichment is a very important part of her treatment program.
I didn't factor in days like today that I had to take off work for her.... no work, no pay for me .... argh

Set up costs here included a crate, puppy pen, bedding, lead, collar, water dish and toys.
I don't want to think about what he has cost me. Well over $1000 in behavouralist and over $4500 in vet bills alone, (not counting routine stuff like desexing and vaccination). He's 3 years old. If I added in all the routine stuff and less serious vet visits it'd be looking pretty hefty.

My costs of owning dogs are very high, but that's my choice. Their grooming scissors are over $100 a pair, I have 3 pairs. Their shampoo and conditioner are $30-50 each per bottle, I have multiple bottles. I own my own hydro bath and two professional dryers, this is more cost effective for me than taking 5 dogs to a public hydro bath.
But that's all the costs of the hobby of showing dogs and most pet owners wouldn't have that. The non- show dogs get to benefit too ( although I doubt they'd see regular hydro baths and blasting with the dryer as a benefit).

We have a Labrador, and worry about future costs given their hip problems. So on top of normal feeding, bedding, worming costs, we have pet insurance, I think is about $50/month. Yes we have the most spoilt pooch around, but we think she's worth it!

Yep my dog caught Kennel cough from the dogs next door - he was vaccinated but still caught it. I forgot about that in my above post. He also has had a UTI which I forgot too & once I took him thinking he might have had a tick (we came back from holidays and he was walking funny) so took him at 9pm...which cost me a lot of money when it was a once off "think he landed funny" injury.
And I forgot his crate which was $150.
I wish I didn't have to pay so much for containment costs but he can scale 2.5m! Either pay up or have him running the streets
He can destroy most toys, so it is only the Kongs or a Staffy ball (which he didn't even use) that he has not ripped to shreds overnight.

Palestinians accuse the Jews of depriving them of their home when the vast majority of them moved to Israel after the Jews reclaimed the land from desolation and ruin. The Arab/Islam world owned over 1,000 times more real estate than Israel.<quoted text>
Right, and no one wanted to "just absorb" the Jews, as Carol thinks the other Arab nations should do. The Palestinians have birthright, to deny that is outrageous.
When the Ethyppian jews wanted to go live in Israel, the women were forced to take birth control.
In 1991, thousands of Palestinians were expelled from Kuwait after they were found conspiring with the Iraqis in selling out their host country.
They were also expelled from Jordon in 1971.

Yviestevie, well I have it I have it in partial shade but sun will improve that variegation. The sunnier the spot the better the soil ...moisture content.....should be. However, in spring sun will not affect it.
I bought a lot of my grasses from Hoecroft Nursery as small plants. Knoll gardens I guess is number one fame wise but check both out and compare.
Best too, to assess your garden soil and comditions prior to acquiring grasses. As you prob know, Philippa, some like it moist like deschampsia, molinia and many carex. Then others like it dry. Check for invasiveness too. However, grasses do give a lot of pleasure so good luck and have fun choosing
Busy, look take it easy. You don't need to pot on the rest. Just send them to me. I really don't mind
At times today it has been really hot but no mistaking the increasing number of leaves falling reminding me summer is ending
Yviestevie, how about brunnera hadspen cream? Lovely variegated leaves and forget me not blue flowers in spring.
Yes, autumn affect that's all....plus being dry. However, mine are still fine at moment. The soil,has been helped with good mulching though.
You won't lose,them. In spring when new shoots appear cut back all dead bits back to those shoots, feed and mulch for good new growth.
Jess is correct. Move now and they will sulk for a year or two
Can you dig up some of any wandering pieces and pot up? Develop these for plantIng out next autumn. However before planting try to enrich the planting hole
Tricia, do you have any garden compost? Or mushroom compost or you could mix dried cow manure with mpc. My inkling is too dry.
Are you from Nottingham Tootles?
Sun here too now...glorious
I still,think its dry Tricia. It's generally been a hot long summer and water supplies inadequate during the summer.
A good quality mulch, a feed in spring and some additional watering next year will achieve a better result .
Pruning is important........correct pruning that is. Often philadelphus is "pruned" just to "tidy it up" thus losing the flowers.
I would be inclined to leave your shrub but perhaps help it along. I would apply potash In early spring. I'm assuming growth is good so would not apply any other fertiliser. Or, if growth is not good then also a general fertiliser a week or two later.
When it flowers next year take the advice about pruning. It's not really difficult. Annual pruning then helps achieve regular flowering.
(I have had fun n games trying to get various stubborn plants to flower...e.g. Laburnum, weigela,,forsythia (all were old and prob seedlings). Success with the laburnum eventually)
Just a little rain early this morning and could be odd shower for a while. Sun acoming though
Morning chicken chaser
Yes choisya...Mexican orange blossom...is similar except it flowers for longer, in spring and early summer, but can flower at,other times too (I have one flowering right now). Choisya is an altogether more attractive shrub...aromatic evergreen leaves.....that is easily pruned to shape

The title Death in the Ring should not be taken literally. Most boxers don't die during fights. They survive their careers of violence but are too often left brain damaged and vulnerable to many other maladies, medical and psychological. Nevertheless, I haven't written an indictment of boxing. It is, rather, a celebration of the brave and talented men who in epic confrontations stir the souls of millions and thus persuade them to ignore the tragedies and premature deaths that await those who fight in the ring.
