What kind of car would you guys recommend in terms of, well, everything really, safety, insurance, reliability etc?
I really really want the Ford Explorer, but not willing to spend the money on it, so I'm thinking of just a sedan. Possibly Honda.
Also, anybody have any experience in buying extended warranty on the car? Not sure what other questions I'd like answers to :D Can you tell I don't know anything about cars?
Thanks for any advice.
"Woohoo", not "yoohoo". I've been so confused lately moohoo, I mean Boohoo!!
I'm happy for you Aan. Just keep your hands on the wheel, and try to resist the urge to wave to everyone. Oh, and wear comfy shoes, you'll be parking half a mile away from the other cars in parking malls till you get your first little scratch or dent.
Enjoy her,or him, or shim, whatever!!!
woohoo. I finally found the perfect Echo. 2 years power train, perfect shape, new tires, yadda yadda. I'm turning into a car freak, that's all I've been able to converse about this week. So it ends here :D Just thought I should finish this thread :D
......need to be excited when you are driving a car, or you'll be pulling over every 5 min. and jumping in the back seat, even when you're by yourself. You need to put on your serious face, and get into a serious car. Buy the Saturn!!! It can double as a spare bedroom when guests come over!!
I loved the Echo, but the tin can was rusted out. Went to look at a Saturn, drove it, a miserable car compared to the cute little Echo. Still considering the Saturn, price, reliability, safety etc, but it doesn't get me all hyped up. We'll see...
Have fun sleeping with it!!:D
I have a Toyota Echo on loan over night, I love the little **** box!
I think Smoodgie might need some of your "rocks" to finish off her landscaping!!
Darling I don't get "Diamonds" I get Rocks! :D
Can't you at least be happy that I compared you to Audrey Hepburn, Geesh!!!
If you hold out till Christmas, do you think you'll get it, instead of perfume or diamonds or whatever your DH gets you?
Poo on you! You think all I could grace would be a 20 year old Lada? Gee, thanks :D
I've been looking all over today, and all I want for Christmas is a Toyota Echo! That's what I want and no one can change my mind! But I can't find one at a "good" price though, except for one with dents in it, boohoo. I might as well start looking at the suv's if I have to pay over $12000 for a used 5 year old :(
You know how Lynda reeves always talks about "tension" in home design, well why can't that extend to our cars as too. For example, I always picture you as the Audrey Hepburn type, and what would be more surprising than to find Audrey Hepburn type people driving old beat up junky cars. So head on down to the srap yard and pick up an old rusted Gremlin hatcback. Voila,,,instant tension and tres chique!!!!!:D
Dreamer, I'm happy to hear it went well with your DP's son!! Thank god for the french ( I think..?) I'd love to have a Saab, I am all for them, but my god woman do you think I am made of money? :D
I looked a bit yesterday, couldn't really find anything so the search continues today. I got it in my head I want a Toyota Echo now....or a Jetta :D perhaps a bit brainwashed.
Norm, you make it sound so easy to buy a car :D but I'm glad you're comfortable with what you got in terms of safety for your daughter, I love those cars, I looked at a few of them yesterday, but again, I'm cheap when it comes down to it :D
I'm so glad everything turned out O.K. for those boys. Sounds like they had their guardian angels along for the ride!!! It surely is a parent's worst nightmare. I always say a prayer everytime my DD pulls out of the driveway.
My partner and I drive Fords. We "have to" - his brother owns a Ford dealership. We are happy enough with our cars, but if you have a safety concern, I would recommend a SAAB. My partner's son and 2 friends were in a bad accident in a SAAB : the driver fell asleep on the highway and hit a truck parked on the shoulder. They should have died, and I think they would have but for the SAAB. The front end of the SAAB was demolished. The passenger compartment, however, was just bent. My partner's son had facial injuries caused by his face hitting the rear end of the truck, but the other two boys were hardly injured at all. When my kids are old enough to drive, I want them in a SAAB.
(By the way, I also learned to love plastic surgeons from this incident. My partner's son has only a few, barely visible scars)
How about a Hummer? :D I know how you feel about visibility, one of my main reasons for wanting an SUV to begin with. From what I understand the Honda's and Toyotas are cars people seem to be pretty happy with. I guess I just have to get out there and have a look at what is available, I could sit and research this until the end of time...
......two new cars last year and the year before. An Impala and a Cavalier. They were a great deal, very comfortable and reliable.
After getting to the point where we were ready to give up on finding the right car, I happened to come across the EL on the Acura web site. It's essentially a Honda Civic, but it comes with better standard features -- leather seats, A/C, sunroof, power door locks and windows, alarm, heated front seats, heated mirrors....
We bought ours new in April 2001, and have barely had any trouble with it. The battery had to be charged at one point (after it had sat in the garage over the winter) and I think it needed a minor repair at its last annual "check up" at Acura.
Good luck!!
It IS frustrating. I cannot for the life of me decide what car to buy, I agree the Honda's are expensive too. Now that I've decided to buy a car I want to spend as little as possible on it, which isn't exactly how to go about it, but...
There are so many things to consider and if you read the safety ratings and repair ratings, Hondas aren't the best out there but Saturn. But I don't want a Saturn :( Not sure why, I think the name puts me off :D
I really don't know all the questions to ask when buying it either, Schatzi's advice on warranty is a very good one, thank you! :)
Dyn, I wouldn't mind a Jetta, but they're expensive too :D
Not sure what I expected paying for the car, but I'd like to stay under $10 000 if possible.
Honda for us too! Dh swears by them. I have always liked the Jetta but am stuck in a minivan for the time being:(

Huckaby court documents:
More on the Huckaby Case:
TRACY, CA - The mother of murder victim Sandra Cantu submitted an impassioned letter to the court pleading to keep grand jury testimony and other details of her daughter's death sealed.
In part, Maria Chavez stated,
"I cannot imagine the trauma and horror that my children will experience if any crime scene photographs of Sandra are released ... or details of the forensic examinations of her become public. They have already been exposed to a level of pain that is hard to imagine.
"The thoughts that run through my head about my daughter's last moments are not something any parent should have to experience. I am tortured about it. I struggle not to let the anger and rage overwhelem me. As a mother, it falls on me to protect my family and not let them be hurt anymore. We have all been damaged enough and I don't know how we will ever heal."
The 8-year-old Tracy girl disappeared in March 2009. Her body was found in a suitcase in a pond 10 days later.
Neighbor Melissa Huckaby pleaded guilty earlier this month to kidnapping and murdering Cantu in a plea deal with the San Joaquin County district attorney in order to avoid the death penalty. Several media organizations filed to have the gag order on the case lifted and police and autopsy records unsealed.
Monday, San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge Linda Lofthus denied the media's motion but said she would reconsider lifting the gag order after Huckaby is sentenced on June 14, followed by a hearing on the sealed documents issue later that same day.
NOTE FROM NEWS10: We have had some discussions both internally and on our website about whether the court should release documents related to the murder of Sandra Cantu.
News10 is not one of the media organizations pushing for release of those documents. While we are huge proponents of the public's right to know and the 1st Amendment, we should feel just as strongly about "...treating our customers with respect and dignity, showing particular compassion to the victims of crime or tragedy." (RTDNA Code of Ethics).
If the court does release the documents, News10 will keep the family's considerations in mind before releasing anything. You can be assured we will not release any photos or details surrounding the sexual assault or murder itself, regardless of what the other media organizations in town do. That's our way of setting the news agenda.

Inline grading is detailed in this topic. If you do not see the grading feature in the sidebar, your school has not turned it on. To learn about the grading workflow, see Grading Wikis.
Users with wikis that need grading are indicated with the needs grading icon in the Grade Center and on a wiki's Participation Summary page in the All drop-down list in the sidebar. In addition, they are listed on the Needs Grading page.
If during wiki creation you did not select the Show participants in needs grading status check box and select a minimum number of page saves, the needs grading icon will not appear in the Grade Center, on the wiki's Participation Summary page, and items do not appear on the Needs Grading page.
The in progress icon shows in the Grade Center cell and in a wiki:
In our example, grading starts from the wikis tool.
On the Participation Summary page, the grading sidebar appears, listing all group members.
The needs grading icon appears in the All drop-down list for contributing group members. When you add a grade for a group wiki, the grade is automatically given to all the members of the group and is populated in the corresponding column in the Grade Center for each group member. All members are assigned a grade, regardless if a member did not contribute. Students can view their group wiki grades in My Grades and on their My Contribution pages.
You can assign an individual group member a different grade than the group by editing the grade for the member. If you change a group member's grade, and you assign a new group grade, the new group grade will not affect the individual's new grade. The grade the individual member received and the grade the group received are both shown. The individual's new grade will not appear to the other group members.
On the Participation Summary page, in the grading sidebar, click the pencil icon to change the group grade for a member. Type a new grade and click the check mark icon below the grade to save it. This grade becomes an override grade.
The group grade and the individual group member's edited grade appear in the Grade Center in the column that was created automatically when you enabled grading for the group wiki.
Grayed out cells appear in the group wiki column for course members who are not part of the group. You can also edit the grade from the Grade Center.
You can revert a member's edited grade to the original group grade, which all group members received.
On the group's Participation Summary page, click the pencil icon for the user with the edited grade. Click the left-pointing arrow to change the grade to the original group grade. The override icon is removed. The change also appears in the Grade Center.

Alain Vigneault announced this morning what everyone already expected: Cory Schneider will start in the Canucks' must-win game four in Los Angeles. While he faced fewer shots in Sunday's game three than Roberto Luongo faced in games one or two, the fact remains that Schneider allowed just one goal, played solid, and deserves the chance to repeat his performance.
I'm thrilled for Schneider, who has had a phenomenal season, finishing second in the league in save percentage and third in goals against average, with a 20-8-1 record. He's hard-working, has a great personality, and has been an exceptional teammate, so it's great to see him rewarded. At least, it's mostly great.
For the same reason that it's been hard to enjoy his success this season, it's hard to enjoy seeing him rewarded, because every success for Schneider has been treated like a failure for Luongo.Continue Reading —›
Ryan Kesler is hardly the only player to resort to embellishment in this year's NHL playoffs. Every team has been accused of diving at least once, with two clubs even being penalized for it: the Pittsburgh Penguins, for a Kris Letang dive, and the Detroit Red Wings, for some Jiri Hudler acting. Furthermore, Brad Marchand's performance in Game 3 versus the Washington Capitals was like an interactive museum exhibit on embellishment.
Still, Kesler's dives have stood out. He may not be the worst diver, but he's definitely the best. You're going to be hard-pressed to find a dive as ostentatious as the one he pulled in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinal, for instance, when he attempted to draw a penalty on Mike Richards by engaging the Kings' forward skating backwards, then doing a full-on, flailing, stick-throwing barrel roll as the two exited the Canucks' zone. It bordered on performance art.
And, like all good art, it inspired other artists — in this case, the .gif-makers over at the HF Boards. For the second straight year, Ryan Kesler has become a meme over there. It's not quite Ryan Kesler Did This, but the Kesler tumbleweed meme is still pretty darn funny. What follows are 6 of my favourites examples.Continue Reading —›

It's Charlie Time
Charlie's primarily an outdoor dog. He's a hound dog, after all, and needs to go about his daily ritual of sniffing every inch of ground near our house. I suppose he could do that inside, too, but after awhile he'd probably run out of smells.
Though, with two boys under the age of six in my house…maybe not.
Since the weather has turned cold, I've been letting Charlie in the house more and more—mostly at night.
Even though he has lots of floppy fur and skin to keep him warm, and even though he and the other dogs have a cozy "apartment" in a closet on our porch, somehow Charlie always winds up sleeping in the house at night.
He has control over me.
He sleeps on this old, furry animal print throw I bought myself about six Christmases ago.
I had no idea at the time what its ultimate purpose would be.
And yes, I bought myself something for Christmas. But it's only because that's the only time of year I actually go shopping.
Plus, it was just so…fuzzy.
When Charlie's in the house at night, I like to pose his ears in different positions.
This is one of my favorite ear tricks. It's the ol' "Ear as a Sleeping Mask" trick.
You just can't do this with a Jack Russell Terrier.
And by the way, Charles was awake the entire time I was taking these photos. He was. I was inches from his face—and look: he didn't even acknowledge me.
But that's just what Bassets do best. He's been this way since the day I brought him into our lives one year ago.
Incidentally: Here's Charlie, One Year Ago. You won't believe how much he's changed. And how much he hasn't changed.
His breath was a lot better back then.

I love Charlie! We just got a 4 month old puppy (she's already huge) she's half black lab and half bloodhound. And some of the looks she gets and all of that floppy skin reminds me of pictures you have shared of Charlie.
Samara On Thursday, January 15 at 12:05 pm
I love the ears. I just have this freaky thing about bassets' eyes. I can't handle the eyes. But I love the ears. I wanna rub them. and play with them. Charlie is my kinda dog.
Liz On Thursday, January 15 at 12:09 pm
LOL. His breath. LOL.
I want a Charlie!

When you buy your own Christmas gifts you always get exactly what you wanted. And, usually, it fits…
dale-harriet in WI On Thursday, January 15 at 12:18 pm
It's -15 degrees as I write this – and it makes me glad for my cats (who can…you know, *poo inside*). But these are Just the Thing, these pictures. Thanks to Charlie (via YOU) my heart is now warm enough to keep me comfortable inside or out. Please? Some time today, go over and rub the roots of those ears and plant a big smooch "a'tween" of 'em for me? And whispier "There's a Cat Lady in Wisconsin who loves ye, Charlie". Thanks!
Cindy On Thursday, January 15 at 12:22 pm
I started smiling at the post title alone. I love Charlie!!!

Sara On Thursday, January 15 at 12:32 pm
Do you know what you did to me ree? About five months ago do to recent events in our family we needed a new dog. (13 year old dog died, 14 year old dog not doing well, didn't want to face the day when we were dogless so, needed a puppy).
I looked into bunches of breeds, but these darn pictures you keep taking of Charlie made me decide I HAD TO HAVE a charlier of my own.
Except, when I went to the breeders they only had two puppies left. Do you know what that means? The one I picked, well the OTHER one would be the last puppy. The unwanted puppy. The LAST ONE CHOSEN.
So, I bought them BOTH. I know, I'm a lunatic. Their names are Jude and Jonah. And they remind me a lot of Charlie. I love how I can mess with their lips and they don't even bother lifting their heads. Or how they have enough skin to put another dog inside of them. LOL
Carla On Thursday, January 15 at 12:32 pm
How sweet. I bet her snores big time too. I used to have this awesome pink bathrobe that our little dog just loved so when we lost her she was buried with it surrounding her because it was a comfort to her. This is the second blog that has made me sad about my lost pets. Sniffle. Thank you for sharing your "baby".

Megan W. On Thursday, January 15 at 12:35 pm
Awww. That's just so dang adorable. I want a puppy – like yesterday.
Somehow I don't think my territorial, giant, blaze orange cat, Cheetoh, would appreciate a puppy. Plus, he's sorta dog-like on his own. He fetches! I promise…no lie.
Cortni On Thursday, January 15 at 12:37 pm
He was such an adorable puppy! My how things change quickly…even in your own little ones!
leslie1015 On Thursday, January 15 at 12:40 pm
Hi #78-We also have a very small built female Boston Terrier who is the family baby even though she is 8 years old now! She sleeps under the covers and we keep her small blankets in the car and on the sofa at all times–even if it is 100 degrees she must be under her soft blankies. Those little flat faces kill me–and she snores so loud! My husband says she looks just like the little old women who sit in the casinos in Vegas with their paw–I mean hand on the slot machine lever just staring at everyone else and won't get up from their machine in case someone wants to claim it. They all have bright red lipstick shakily applied along the outside of their lips and the ever present dangling cigarette from their lips. This is what are baby looks like. Too funny. Thanks for keeping Charlie in–are their heaters in the closet for the other dogs? I hope so.
Andrea in FL On Thursday, January 15 at 12:43 pm
Basset Hounds are the best!! I can't wait to get me another one. I just have to convince the hubby (or get rid of him….nah).
Shannon On Thursday, January 15 at 12:45 pm
Wow…it has been a year already? He is just as cute now as he was back then.
RobynnsRavings On Thursday, January 15 at 12:49 pm
He is SOOO precious!! Love floppy, moppy, dogs. And believe it or not, I have a BORDER COLLIE PUPPY who is a wild eyed, manic chaser, until she's not…that is. And then she's like Charlie…a complete floppy, moppy, hang-over-ur-chair just to look at ya cutie pie. Come see her at http://www.robynnsravings.blogspot.com/ and look under "I Love Herding Dogs." Hope to see you seeing her!
Ann On Thursday, January 15 at 12:50 pm
Adorable. Adorable. Adorable. Especially a year ago. Love Bassetts. We have a chihuahua that has burried down deep in our hearts, but her ears can't do that. Not even a little!
SusanGabriel On Thursday, January 15 at 12:52 pm
What would we do without our animals? I think they are put on this earth to remind us to live in the moment, get more sleep, and love who we're with.
Regina in KY On Thursday, January 15 at 12:55 pm
There must be something about those fuzzy animal print blankets. My dachshund has taken ours over also! His ears aren't as big as Charlies, but I still love it when they fly in the breeze when he is riding the 4-wheeler with my hubby! Dogs………can't live without 'em!
Jessica On Thursday, January 15 at 12:56 pm
He's so loveable. You should totally make a calender of Charlie. I would def. buy one!!
Shannon On Thursday, January 15 at 1:02 pm
I enjoyed your pictures of your cute boy… gotta love those ears! Thanks for the wonderful pictures of Charlie!
Melissa R On Thursday, January 15 at 1:04 pm
OMG, Ree!! I wasn't reading your blog a year ago so I hadn't see baby Charlie pictures. Oh, I already want to cuddle him every time I see his picture (and I am NOT a dog person) but when I just saw the puppy photos. OH I am melting!!! I had no idea that he is only a year old, he looks like an old soul. I agree.. make a Charlie calendar!!
Nicole On Thursday, January 15 at 1:07 pm
Aww! I want one. Wait . . . . nah came to my senses. 2 dogs and 2 boys are enough!
Linda On Thursday, January 15 at 1:09 pm
Charlie is SO, SO CUTE!!! You need to write a book about him and include all the great photos – especially when he was a pup!!!!! Need a dog sitter??
Connie On Thursday, January 15 at 1:09 pm
ROTFL, I love your dog. Thanks for cheering me up! Charlie rocks!
Stephanie On Thursday, January 15 at 1:12 pm
Charlie is such a handsome bundle of fur! I'm in love with his long ears and his snout. And his baby pictures make my heart skip a beat and makes me long for the sweet smell of puppy breath. (((SIGH)))
Misha On Thursday, January 15 at 1:21 pm
Ahhhh, what a life Sir Charles has…
Patty W On Thursday, January 15 at 1:23 pm
Thank you Ree. This brought a huge smile to my face. I got a Charlie fix.
It's been very sad here the last 2 days, my hubby was let go of his job due to the economy. Bah. Please pray for us. There doesn't seem to be any jobs around.
WishTrish On Thursday, January 15 at 1:24 pm
What is it about bassetts that does this to us?! My 14 year-old bassett lives with my parents (because when I got married, they couldn't give him up), and there just isn't anything better than taking pictures of them. Is there?! And he is blind and deaf and arthritic now, but he is an absolute slobbery, drooly, droopy-eyed love hound.
Brandi On Thursday, January 15 at 1:29 pm
I clicked the link of baby Charlie.. how adorable. Glad you keep the website going as I can come here and find a good chuckle at least once a week. The poodle talking to Charlie? My husband wanted to know why I'm sitting at the computer laughing.
Barbara in Texas On Thursday, January 15 at 1:31 pm
Absolutely precious!
Cathy Nebrrraska On Thursday, January 15 at 1:35 pm
Too cute, then and now!!!
Diane Cooper On Thursday, January 15 at 1:37 pm
I am a dog lover extraordinaire, but would not have considered a Bassett. Charlie has singlehandedly (is that one word?) changed that for me!!!! Yay Charlie! (ooopss he is sleeping…)
Candylei On Thursday, January 15 at 1:40 pm
Is Charlie a gardening dog, too, when it's warmer out? I hope you gave him some treats after his photo-shoot.
Judea On Thursday, January 15 at 1:48 pm
He is so adoreable. My husband has been trying to talk me into one of these dogs and I have stood firm on no but seeing your doggy pictures makes my heart melt with temporary weakness, weakness to the point that if I were asked right this second I would say "yes! we can get a dog." oh wait wait the second is gone. Nope no need for another pooper needing scooped in our house.
naomig On Thursday, January 15 at 1:48 pm
Love that Charlie Dog. So cute! On a side note, I was wandering through the book section of Costco today, and what should I pick up but a glorious Ranches of the West coffee table book, featuring your fam. When were you going to tell us about this?! I bought it.
Cara On Thursday, January 15 at 1:49 pm
I love Charlie posts! They make me want to go nuzzle my own puppy's ears.
Christina On Thursday, January 15 at 1:50 pm
I just LOVE Charlie! I love Hounds. We have a beagle whose name is Fred. He could be Charlie's Twin brother only Fred's ears don't drag the ground. I just want to squeeeeeze Charlies fat saggy jowls!

I am glad I got to see Charlie as a pup. That was so funny! Those pics were priceless…His ears were just as floppy and furry then, but he didn't have those LIPS as a pup! Thanks for giving me a smile today. Do you have time these days to play with his ears? Huh? Do ya?
Amiyrah On Thursday, January 15 at 1:59 pm
yes, Charlie's back!
Theresa On Thursday, January 15 at 2:00 pm
Charlie is just too cute! We haven't had a dog in a while…maybe it's time. By the way, I just have to tell you that I absolutely love your site!! it's like reading a really good book and you can't put it down!! Keep up the good work.

I love Charlie! Wish I had a Charlie! I have a Chocolate Lab…ya can't do that with her ears.
Dawn in Idaho On Thursday, January 15 at 2:10 pm
I LOOOVE Charlie. I am addicted to his ears, nose, and jowls… I think you should devote a whole tab on your site to just photos of Charlie. My daughter and I would be thrilled, because when I am having a bad day, all it takes is to look at a photo of Charlie running with his floppy ears (flying nun?) or sleeping with his floppy ears and I am cured. Charlie makes me smile. Thanks for sharing him with us. It's like having a virtual pet. All the goodness, none of the poop!
brigid of Calif On Thursday, January 15 at 2:11 pm
My gosh, has it been a year since Charlie came into our lives? He's a treasure.
Cindy On Thursday, January 15 at 2:14 pm
I would like to steal Charlie, please. Er… borrow. I must pet those ears. The pictures of one-year-ago Charlie pretty much melted me.
Kathryn Campbell On Thursday, January 15 at 2:15 pm
Thank you for the Charlie pictures! I have been missing that feller.
kate On Thursday, January 15 at 2:20 pm
I want a Charlie for myself. He's just so cute.

Such sweetness!
Looks like you enjoy playing with Charlie's ears as much as I like my golden's lips! They're so pose-able!
Elizabeth in Modesto, CA On Thursday, January 15 at 2:27 pm
I love your Basset Hound. He is so precious. I have a Boston Terrier and a Chihuahua but they sadly don't have big floppy ears to play with. Love your pictures.
Grateful for Grace On Thursday, January 15 at 2:29 pm
Ok, my kiddos have been begging for a dog. I've said no. Firmly. They've even (practically) given up asking now. BUT this post and the original Charlie (a year ago) post… oh, my. That has me considering a bassett puppy. How cute is he? Plus the "I can't be bothered acknowledging you" attitude. Too, too much.
I refuse to let my children see your post today.
Melanie On Thursday, January 15 at 2:30 pm
I love your puppy and I want one just like him so that I can pose his ears too!!! So sweet!
Tracey On Thursday, January 15 at 2:33 pm
I took a ton of photos of my Homer yesterday too. The photos of him all sleepy and curled up don't tell the whole story…. he is so cute sleeping with his ears doing crazy things but man does he stink. Its really cold here in Ottawa, Canada too, so Homer- like Charlie is hanging indoors.
Erin J. On Thursday, January 15 at 2:33 pm
I wonder if you could bottle Charlie's Turtle Breath Freshener and market it as a "Honey, Not Tonight" product? I think women might seriously go for it. You'd make your first million.

Zoe On Thursday, January 15 at 2:43 pm
About that "ear trick"? My basset hound Buddy used to do that himself all the time to hide the light when he was trying to sleep…..LOL! Just love those basset hounds!
Jan On Thursday, January 15 at 2:44 pm
Ahhh….A Charlie fix! Thanks!
fidget On Thursday, January 15 at 2:46 pm
I could use some Basset housebreak help. I love Jethro but dadgumit! he needs to pee outside. I've trained meek dogs, I've trained dominate dogs but I've never tackled a sweetly stubborn dog. I mean the ol boy goes outside, pees a river then comes inside and pees. Did you have that problem with yours? Maybe your other dogs taught him right? Maybe you could send Charlie down to have a talk with Jethro?
Marie On Thursday, January 15 at 2:49 pm
I had no idea he was such a baby–he has always seemed so "mature"!!!
Do you play with his lips? With my English Cocker I used to play with her lips. They were so long and flappy and dopey–she had no control but she knew how to use them–if I was sleeping too late, she would come up on the bed and drape her lips over my nose and mouth (oxygen-mask style) and wait patiently for me to notice(?!?) and come up for air. What a sweetie she was–I miss her still (some 30+ years).
Kerstin On Thursday, January 15 at 2:56 pm
Aww, you make me so very sad that I don't have a dog anymore and can't get one (apartment life anyone?). I never had a Basset Hound but this makes me miss the soft feeling of any dog's ears between my fingers ): Even that inner-ear musty smell, haha.
Renee On Thursday, January 15 at 2:57 pm
What a beautiful dog? Our cocker, Max, finds himself in the most peculiar positions we just laugh right out loud and then he looks at us like "hey mama I was sleeping!" Too darn cute!

ironacres On Thursday, January 15 at 3:07 pm
Thanks for sharing Charlie with us–he is an adorable riot! And yes, it has also been my experience that farm dogs' breath can be overwhelming because of the shear smorgasbord of edibles that are available to them. You know what I mean!
DJ On Thursday, January 15 at 3:08 pm
His snout, oh that snout!
He's even cuter now than he was when he was a puppy. There are precious few dogs you can say that about!
Patricia On Thursday, January 15 at 3:13 pm
I want me one of them !!!
robyn On Thursday, January 15 at 3:14 pm
He is so sweet! He looks just adorable. I'm that way with my corgi. I just can't stop photographing her. Of course, I don't have the nose in focus, but not the eyes issue that you deal with ~ but none the less… Keep photographing him… I love watching him grow and sleep. My lab used to sleep that soundly. I wish I could sleep that soundly…
Linda On Thursday, January 15 at 3:24 pm
I love Charlie. His baby photos are adorable. My dog's paws smelled like Fritos once too. Weird. Keep sharing Charlie with us … I really can't get enough of him.

He has such a sweet face PW. Maybe next time you could write thought bubbles over him.
tara On Thursday, January 15 at 4:02 pm
I don't care what anyone says, dogs are human and my two dachshunds are my kids. They get toys and human food and sleep in bed with me. I could not, no way ever make them stay outside. My husband and I just got done having our house built and we installed a sink just for them for their baths and doggie doors so they can go in and out as they please and their toys are in a place just for them so they can play whenever they want.
I just tell people, "my dogs are not spoiled, I am just well trained!"
Karen On Thursday, January 15 at 4:05 pm
Oh, Lord, I shouldn't have looked at those puppy photos… oh, that was so much cuteness at one time on one screen.
Addie On Thursday, January 15 at 4:11 pm
ok, on a non-related side-note (b/c thats how I roll), we recently went to the library and picked out some books for the kids, and we have been reading a "Cowboy Sam and Shorty" book, and every time we read it, all I can think about is you….
Erin On Thursday, January 15 at 4:16 pm

Cathy On Thursday, January 15 at 4:19 pm
How sweet of a thang.. I love his ears too. He was such a pretty baby last year, not that he isn't now but I love the puppiness..is that a word..? puppiness? Anywho, keep him warm, I think he needs an AC/DC shirt from Walmart. Emma has one and she is a rockin' Diva with a capital D.
Sandy On Thursday, January 15 at 4:24 pm
I always thought puppy breath was the WORST — smells like puppy poop.
Stephanie On Thursday, January 15 at 4:25 pm
I just read your last note at the end of the post about Charlie one year ago that you linked at it was too true. No one ever believes me when I tell them that if you smell a dogs paws or at least my primarily indoor dogs paws that they smell like tortilla chips. Its an odd thing and I thought only me and my beau were the only ones who picked up on that.
Robin in VA On Thursday, January 15 at 4:41 pm
They do grow up so quickly! My little Rudy has changed so much in 3 months!
Erika On Thursday, January 15 at 4:44 pm
Look at how short his nose was a year ago. Are you ever able to get a recording of Charlie baying, or is he not very noisy? I think hound dogs have lovely voices.
keitt On Thursday, January 15 at 4:55 pm
I had a basset growing up. Her name was Daisy. Looking at the pictures of Charlie brings back such great memories (and funny ones!) I want another one desperately. That and another Irish Setter! Two of the funniest dogs on earth!
Teresa in KY On Thursday, January 15 at 4:56 pm
He is such a beautiful dog. And i believe I love him more now especially knowing that he was awake the whole time you took the pictures. Cats are the only fickle animal at times. Enjoyed. By the way do you have to drag him out of the house when it is 0 degrees outside. Our Sara loves to be outside but it generally takes my BFF/MM to go with her when it is very cold like right now. 15 and going to 0 tonight. Brrrrrr
Dana C On Thursday, January 15 at 5:00 pm
Its funny how hounds have a way to sucker people in. I have a bloodhound who has the large ears and the droopy jaws. She is not nearly as easy to play wiht while laying down though lol If your on her level you getter be scratching her or rubbing her belly. Even though shes needy she just sucks me in every time!
Kristina C. On Thursday, January 15 at 5:01 pm
Sweet post, THEN and NOW!
Sweet puppy breath THEN and NOT NOW! Charlie, what happened?! You're still cute, though!

AWE charlie you are such big sweetie pie. But look at those wrinkles upon your brow, you must be so stressed out you poor dog, you put up with so much! Endless photo sessions for your adoring fans, punks to love, patroling the premises, my goodness the list goes on………:-)

"I can't believe it." Jason said as he too looked to Jess who sat beside Leane who in turn sat beside Trent who sat beside Jason.

American Legion Rider Mike Leeking left his hometown of Lititz, Pa., Wednesday morning for the long trip to Sturgis, S.D., for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Hauling his motorcycle on a trailer, he only took one break, spending a night in Iowa, before arriving just outside of Sturgis on Friday.
And despite being more than 1,600 miles from his home post - Post 56, also known as "The Garden Post" – Leeking has very familiar settings around him. He's staying at a campground owned by Piedmont Valley Post 311 – a little more than 10 miles from Sturgis – and taking advantage of the post's daily breakfasts and dinners before they are served to hundreds of motorcyclists descending upon Sturgis.
"It's a very nice post, and the people here are very congenial," said Leeking, who is attending his fourth Sturgis rally. "I blundered into this place last year, and it's sort of a Legion home away from home. The food is great, and I run into veterans from all over the country."
Department of South Dakota Vice Commander Duane Riedlinger, a two-time past Post 311 commander and Legion Rider, said the post of 341 members has been opening up its doors to Sturgis riders for at least 20 years. Area posts don't usually have enough Riders for their own chapters, so they've formed the Black Hills Chapter comprised of Riders from several posts in the area.
"We do this for the veterans," Riedlinger said. "We don't raise the prices because we know they're coming in. We want them to feel welcome. But we do make money off this, and that money allows us to do the various things we do for our community."
Riedlinger, who once lived in Sturgis and has attended several rallies, said around 400 people eat at the breakfasts served from 7 a.m. to noon; the last breakfast will be served Sunday morning. Around 100 people show up for dinners that – depending on the night – consist of pork loin, Swiss steak, roast beef, fried chicken and steak. Any post members who help out do so as volunteers.
"It's work, but it's a lot of fun," Riedlinger said. "We see a lot of people we know each year. There are hordes of veterans who come back here. Some of our very good friends show up here."

Service agencies seek leviesWritten by Danielle Stanton | | email@example.com
Officials at Lucas County Children Services (LCCS) said the agency will be forced to cut a service that helps kids stay out of foster care and trim valuable staff if a levy it's seeking on the Nov. 4 ballot fails.
Dean Sparks, executive director of LCCS, said the agency has already frozen enrollment and would be forced to eliminate the $180,000-a-year program that provides financial support to relatives who care for kids. That will force more children into the foster care system, Sparks said.
The agency is asking voters to renew and extend its current 1.4-mill levy set to expire in 2016, and support an additional 0.35 mills through 2018. The levy is a property tax that will cost the owner of a $100,000 house $54.25 each year. Residents pay $42 at the current millage.
Sparks said the agency has cut its spending this year from $46.5 million to $40 million and has had little help from the state and federal government. He said LCCS has seen a "significant reduction" in state and federal dollars, placing the burden for financial support on local institutions.
"The State of Ohio is the 50th in the nation in support of child protection; and that's something that we in Ohio are going to have to struggle with," Sparks said. "We used to have 405, now we have 349 staff people. We can't cut anymore. The next cut is staff and services."
The proposed levy would raise $11.8 million to help LCCS cover its $42.5 million budget. The agency will serve about 12,000 children this year and handle 5,000 new reports of abuse and neglect in Lucas County.
Most of the children the agency serves are 5 years old and younger. However, LCCS is also seeing more older kids because it partners with the juvenile court system and helps kids gain independent living outside of foster care.
The "faces" of those served by the agency are changing, Sparks said; as they come with more needs; they have more siblings; more require institutional care; and LCCS keeps more kids until they are 21 to help guide them through high school or college and into the workforce.
Many children served by LCCS have special needs such as autism, developmental issues or behavioral issues. Some have parents who are victims of domestic abuse, have a mental illness or lack stable housing. LCCS has also worked with more than 100 Lucas County children who were trafficked.
"We're seeing 9-year-olds that are homicidal and suicidal and kids getting suspended from kindergarten," Sparks said.
Levy funds would also help LCCS handle the area's heroin issue, Sparks said, a growing problem as more parents become addicted and more children are born addicted.
Sparks said the agency is seeing success in its foster care program with more kids are graduating high school than ever before and more kids entering college from foster care than in the past.
LCCS has a "very dedicated" staff of 200 caseworkers, Sparks said. If the caseworkers are unable to help the children now then they will return in the criminal justice system later. The figures are dim: a third of foster children end up homeless and another third in the criminal justice system.
"The citizens of Lucas County have always been supportive," Sparks said. "They have always cared about kids."
Senior Levy
The Area Office on Aging of Northwestern Ohio is asking for a 5-year renewal of the agency's 0.45-mill levy, which expires at the end of the year, as well as an increase of 0.15 mills.
"It's a modest increase of 0.15 mills. I say modest because last year we never got the money we were certified [by the auditor] to receive," said President and CEO Billie Johnson. "That's the reason we went out for more money."
Johnson said her agency received $3.5 million this year from its levy, $1 million less than expected.
The agency needs the money, Johnson said, to meet growing demand from Lucas County's senior population, which has grown by 11 percent since 2010, for its four main areas of service: nutrition, Alzheimer's care, home care and senior center services.
"We use the levy to match federal and state dollars," Johnson said. "When we don't get the money, you can't deliver the services."
Ninety-two cents of every dollar goes to providing services,
Johnson said.
"[The levy] is really very important," she said. "We have pretty close to 50 agencies that get this money and if they don't get these dollars, they will really have to cut services and maybe eliminate some. It's not all of their funding, but a good portion. Most of the agencies' funding were reduced since 2009, close to 15 percent, when at the same time, our population increased."
Mental Health & Recovery
Mental Health & Recovery Services Board of Lucas County is seeking to renew a 10-year, 0.50-mill levy.
The agency said it anticipates about 26,000 Lucas County residents will receive treatment for mental illness or addiction in fiscal year 2014, a 4 percent increase over the previous year.
Executive Director Scott Sylak, who said the levy is expected to generate $3.4 million annually if passed, said the agency lost $2.6 million in state and federal funds this year. Last fiscal year, the legislature put an additional $50 million in the budget with a portion earmarked for the agency. That money was later retracted, Sylak said.
"We still have a tremendous need for services," he said. "Not only treatment but support that helps stabilize individuals on their meds and helps them recover from their addiction."
One in four families are affected by mental illness. A significant number are in jails and have contact with law enforcement, Sylak said.
"Voters have been generous in the past," he said. "We want to keep that momentum moving forward."
The levy funds will help the agency address the heroin epidemic; allow it to continue to help people — 3,700 last year — negotiate a significant crisis; provide emergency shelter; help house 600 individuals who would otherwise be in a shelter; and fund training for law enforcement, among other services.
"We fund a network of 21 agencies that employ 1,600 individuals," Sylak said. "We will lose services. If this levy is not renewed, we will cut $3.4 million out of our budget. That will absolutely affect people."
The agency, in order to be a good steward of tax dollars, took an internal look at itself and lowered administrative costs in 2007. Ninety-four cents of every dollar collected by the levy goes toward its network of providers.
"We recognize we have a lot of work to do," Sylak said. "Every service we fund has an outcome and we monitor that twice a year."

Céad míle fáilte to the UCF Libraries Newsblog! And of course that's Gaelic for a thousand welcomes.
Want to amaze your friends with your incredible knowledge of St. Patrick's Day? And all things Irish?
Credo Reference, on the library's list of databases at http://library.ucf.edu/Databases/, has a number of entries, including this one on Saint Patrick's Day parades, taken from Irish and the Americas:
Irish immigration to the United States began as early as the eighteenth century. More than half of the soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary War had Irish ancestors, and it was in colonial America that the Irish first paraded to express their identity and solidarity. In a touch of irony, those who marched in the first Saint Patrick's Day parade were Irishmen in British uniform, soldiers stationed in the colonies who were sent by King George III to preserve the crown's grip on a rebellious colony.
Or, you could check out a book. How about The Oxford History of Ireland, at DA910.O94? Or Ireland: A Short History, at DA910.C66?
Would you have guessed that British soldiers were among the first to march in St. Patrick's Day parades in America? Now that's great trivia,

Not quite a month ago, Purdue enjoyed the highest point of its season.
The Boilermakers routed rival Indiana 82-64 on Feb 15. Purdue moved to 15-10 with six regular season games remaining, and the team seemingly had time to fashion a positive end to a season that could serve as a bridge back to success.
But beginning with Michigan State's 3-point flurry five days later, that promise was quickly derailed. Purdue lost six straight to end the regular before bowing out with Thursday's 63-61 loss to Ohio State in the Big Ten tournament.
The Boilermakers have said narrow losses such as that one proved how close they were to cracking the top half of the conference. But it's just as likely that the opposite is true. Good teams find ways to win those games more often then not.
Looking ahead, Purdue could return as many as six scholarship players, including four who were in the starting lineup at the end of the season (Ronnie Johnson, A.J. Hammons, Rapheal Davis, Kendall Stephens). But Hammons could opt for the NBA, and Painter has made vague references in recent weeks about players needing to decide if they want to remain a part of the program. (A Goldandblack.com report mentioned the possibility of Johnson looking at other programs. I asked Johnson if he planned to be back next year after the Ohio State loss and he said "Yes.")
Regardless, next season will be the third in a row in which the incoming freshman class will be counted on for a significant impact. Purdue is 31-35 in the past two seasons, with Painter citing immaturity, inexperience and inconsistency along the way. How much will those areas improve with no scholarship seniors, with or without defections?

Hormone Injections Breast GrowthFebruary 5th, 2013
Just like a very general guideline it's frequently considered that for every 175cc to 200cc in breast implant volume a girl might experience roughly one bra cup size bigger.

Country singer Randy Travis has been charged with driving while intoxicated.
The Grayson County Sheriff's Office says Travis was being jailed without bond Wednesday pending an appearance before a judge in Sherman, about 60 miles north of Dallas.
Sgt. Rickey Wheeler says Travis also faces a charge of retaliation or obstruction. Wheeler had no details on that count. Wheeler says a Texas trooper arrested Travis around midnight Tuesday near Tioga, where the entertainer lives.
A Travis representative did not immediately reply to a message Wednesday from The Associated Press.
Travis in February was charged with public intoxication after being spotted in a vehicle parked in front of a church in Sanger, about 20 miles from Tioga.

While it may seem minor Pol, things like this can go a lot father than you think.
Say there's a 15 year old drummer who's idol was Phil. He found out Phil had been caught for possession of drugs, and he loses faith in his idol. Could even cause him to stop drumming.
Or it could have a even worse effect. Maybe the 15 year old kid thinks, "Hey Phil Rudd is an awesome drummer, and he smokes pot, so why shouldn't I?"
Fact is it's illegal, and it's illegal for a reason. It creates bad health, promotes a bad influence, and can harm other people physically as well. Now I realize 25 grams isn't a lot, so the third statement is probably irrelevant, but it doesn't matter if it's 1 gram or 1000, it's against the law and he was rightly punished.

In the style of Toa Fraser's Bare, award winning playwright Victor Rodger (My Name is Gary Cooper, Ranterstantrum, Sons) brings you BLACK FAGGOT from February 16th – a series of (mostly) humorous monologues from a vast array of (mostly) gay Samoan characters.
From a camp, closeted member of Destiny Church who finds himself on the Enough is Enough march against the Civil Union Bill, to a butch Hamo homo who is loudly and unapologetically gay; from an anal Samoan clean freak who's annoyed that his partner's just orgasmed on their new brand new bedspread to an award winning fa'afafine artist who relishes explaining the true meaning behind her new work "Cracker Wanna Poly."
Set against the rise of Destiny Church and incorporating the current controversy surrounding the Same Sex Marriage Bill currently before Parliament, BLACK FAGGOT is an often hilarious but always provocative piece of work from one of New Zealand's leading playwrights.

While the authorities may try to put the blame totally on the Indonesian forest fires, we should be more concerned about the invisible gases created by industrial and vehicular pollution which are trapped in the smog.
At last, we hope that Malaysians have begun to realise that it is pointless pursuing growth per se when it is the 'quality of growth' which should be our concern. Malaysian environmentalists have warned the nation of this crisis for years, only to be derided by the authorities time and again for being 'anti-development' and 'stooges of the West'.
The negligence on the part of the authorities is beyond question when we recall the past record. The problem of air pollution in Malaysian cities already existed in the 1960s, but the government did not take it seriously. In the early 1980s, especially in 1982 and 1983, the problem worsened and an 'Action Plan' was mooted in 1984. But as soon as the haze cleared, the government reverted to 'business as usual'.
At the time, the Environment Ministry admitted that local industrial pollution, vehicular emissions and open burning were contributing to the problem.
In the early 1990s, Kuala Lumpur already stood at 14th among the most polluted cities in the world. Our reputation further suffered when Emperor Hirohito could not fly to Ipoh during his scheduled visit to the country in 1991.
It was in 1991, described as "the worst haze problem in Malaysian history", that a national committee on haze was set up. The Environment Ministry announced "short and long-term awareness programmes" to prevent a recurrence of the problem. However, few if any measures were adopted as the Mahathir government pursued its 'economic miracle' of untrammeled growth.

In a letter to the Wall Street Journal, Paul Hauptman writes that Chuck Hagel was correct when he described the Obama administration policy toward Iran as "containment." "We are," he writes, "approaching containment by deed, if not by label," because the policy over the last four years has allowed Iran to reach the threshold of nuclear weapons capability.
Hagel's now famous testimony–reading his opening statement that he supports the president's prevention policy; then saying in unscripted remarks that he supports the president's containment policy; then reading a note handed to him to re-instate his prior statement (and bungling that too)–unfortunately reminds me of an apocryphal anecdote and an old joke.
The anecdote involves the pliant politician Huey Long installed as governor, who was working in his office one summer day with the window open. A leaf blew in and landed on his desk. He signed it. The joke is the classic insurance one about the man whose friend tells him he heard about the fire that burned down the man's store. The man responds: "shhh–it's happening next week."
For a president planning a flexible foreign policy, it helps to have a guy at Defense willing to sign on to whatever it says on the statements prepared for him, or the notes handed to him. You just hope he doesn't prematurely disclose how your policy is going to "evolve." It would have been perfect if Hagel had leaned over and signed the note too, but only rarely does life completely imitate a joke.
From the beginning, the principal problem with the Hagel nomination was not his view of Israel or Jews, but the signal the nomination sent to Iran. The signal is even clearer now that the White House still supports Hagel, notwithstanding a performance that should have disqualified him even if he had announced a previously unknown lifetime membership in AIPAC. Future historians will be surprised to learn that Hagel's testimony was not apocryphal, but it will be useful in describing how an oft-stated policy of prevention became an unstated policy of containment. For an even more succinct explanation, Hauptman's letter will suffice.
