I need a little help
I received an email from my employer today (small business, less than 20 staff) - Lovely lady, in her mid 60's - DH also works for this company. My employers grand daughter is our childrens baby sitter. We regularly have her on a Monday after school, to sit the children. This is not a love job, it's a paid job.
Anyway, one of the paragraphs in the email stated:
"Would you be able to work later on Tuesday?? Do you want to see if H is free?"
Now, rightly or wrongly, this has gotten my back up a little.
The baby sitting is an agreement between H and us - not our employer, despite her being the grandmother.
Secondly, by her "offering" H's services, she is assuming that I can work should my kids be taken care of, and that I can afford to pay her.
The simple fact is, I cannot afford to pay the sitter for those extra hours (my hours will be juggled, so I wont be working/paid for extra hours) - but I need a tactful way to advise her of this, and also advise her that the care arrangements of my children, and My availability to work is my responsibility, not hers.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Posted 24 February 2013 - 04:43 PM
Hmm, I'm not sure.
Saying you can't work the alternate hours is pretty straightforward (and you don't have to give a reason, if she presses I guess you could say prior family commitments).
Can you tell her something about H being an independent young lady who wouldn't like to think that her family had any influence on her work, therefore please don't discuss your childcare arrangements with her?

Is there more to this situation? Is she generally a bit overbearing as an employer?
Tbh, I think you are over thinking it a bit. She sounds like she is trying to make it a win win situation. She sees that her grand daughter can babysit for you, you get to work and make money, she gets the shift covered.
Just decline politely. No need to over analyse the situation.
Posted 24 February 2013 - 05:02 PM
Unless you can use it as an opportunity to ask for a pay rise (so that it would be worth it to work Tues arvo) then I think M.Protart's response is the way to go.

Is there more to this situation? Is she generally a bit overbearing as an employer?
There is more - there always is, isn't there?
It would take me a long time to type it all out but to best sum it up, I think I need to put my foot down a little now. I get paid for 20 hours a week, but of late, I am working more and more hours... these get written in a book - for me to use in lieu. This doesn't bother me, it works well, I prefer to know my incommings and outgoings each week. Only, I'm not getting the opportunity to use the "in lieu" hours... there is always something happening.
Generally speaking, her heart is in the right spot, but she has a bit of a habit of rail roading, and of late, she has been taking a lot of time out for herself - leaving me to hold the fort (as I am the only one left in the office some times, with no key to lock the door and divert the phone). And quite frankly, I am starting to feel a little used.
So, I need to be polite, but firm in my answer.
Posted 24 February 2013 - 05:35 PM
Dear X,
Due to prior commitments on this day, I am unable to work. Thanks for the offer. Ill see you on X day.
Regards, YZ.
She really does not need to know what these commitments are. As an employer, it's none of her businesses.

Even with the extra info, I'm not seeing the huge issue.
I think it was a throwaway line, not some deeply manipulative suggestion that you can't manage your family or should hire her granddaughter for longer hours.
Posted 24 February 2013 - 05:47 PM
It probably was a genuine offer, but I can see where you are coming from. Can you use this opportunity to ask if it's possible to get paid some of you TIL hours. We do this for my staff.
I would say, I can work this Tuesday but have been meaning to discus the amount of TIL I have built up as seeing as we are so busy would it be possible if I "cashed " some in, this would certainly help me cover the cost of H babysitting
Sincer her email wasn't very formal I work respond on the same level and not make it a formal response.
Posted 24 February 2013 - 07:24 PM
I would handle it quite differently than others have said, I would say
"Can you please confirm that you are offering me a permanent increase of hours on top of my 20 hours a week to stay longer on Tuesdays ? This allows me to determine whether I can afford the extra care I would need for the children in order to be available".
Posted 24 February 2013 - 07:40 PM
I would send a brief message back declining to work Tuesday by email tonight (PPs wording was perfect).
The next time you are in I would have a further conversation about your work hours and how best to handle the changes in workflow so that there is sufficient coverage when she needs to take time away from the business.

If it's a once off, I would leave off any reference to H being available. Sounds like she was just being nice, although inappropriate. As for the rest, I would say I had a prior arrangement.
This. and if she pressed about the 'engagement' Id reply "we take 'boardgame tuesdays' very seriously in our family!"
Posted 25 February 2013 - 04:43 AM
I like Lambchop's response, but only if you want the extra permanently (never ask for what you could well be granted if you don't want it), otherwise Madnesscraves is right. No need to elaborate, your private business is just that, private.
I would also start submitting the in lieu leave. Just little by little. Use it for appointments or whatever, again, you do not need to explain as you are entitled to it, but it may mean better relations if you offered a reason.
Another thought: let it accumulate and take it like annual leave like in one block?

Well.. Here I am, at work.
Thanks for the advice. It was more wording I needed help with.
As luck would have it - Babysitter was sick yesterday, so have worked 9-3 Yesterday and today (School hours, and kids are in School) - And just told her I had other commitments.
Once at work today, I mentioned that while I was thankful for the offer, it would be a best for me to organise care for my children, and that an answer of "no" didn't always mean it was a child care issue (her look was perplexed with this one LOL).

It looks like Barack Obama has offered Hillary Clinton the post of Secretary of State and she's mulling over whether to take the job or not. Obama's apparent offer makes him look magnanimous and delights Hillary Clinton's former backers, so maybe it's smart politics. But there are a number of good reasons why Clinton should not be secretary of state. Here are five:
Hillary Clinton will have her own agenda (as will her husband). She's not a team player and will bring in a crew of cronies whose chief aim will be to promote the boss, not the administration. Obama may wake up one day and discover that Hillary has decreed a new "Clinton Doctrine" of foreign policy.
It would be impossible, politically, to fire Hillary. No matter what she says or does, or how insubordinate, Obama will be stuck with her as long as she wants to stay.
Her husband is a walking conflict of interest. Bill helps a Canadian businessman land a uranium contract in Kazakhstan, and soon afterwards the businessman contributes to the Clinton Foundation. Bill's personal and business dealings are embarrassing enough without Hillary heading the State Department.
The Clinton style of management–for example, pitting one faction of staff against another–would be a disaster at the State Department. Just look at how well it worked on the campaign trail.
And the strongest strike of all against Hillary as secretary of state… look at who endorses her.

That sort of synergy is already at work with graduates of The ARK. Beck, of Btiques, said her company was planning to talk about getting tech assistance from Truckily, a mobile app company that connects food trucks to eaters. SpareTime, a platform for advancing philanthropy and aimed at the millennial generation, plans to work with MineWhat to increase user engagement. SpareTime also seems well positioned to collaborate with Farmetto, a company that aims to connect small farmers with retailers in a streamlined manner, to address issues like food insecurity, said Jeannette Balleza, director of The ARK Challenge.

PackH2O Water Backpack To Be Showcased At 2nd Annual World Business Council For Sustainable Development US Midwest Meeting
Haiti, Guatemala, and Kenya Transport Clean Water Home COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Impact Economics, in partnership with Greif, Inc., (NYSE: GEF, GEF B) will showcase PackH2O– a water backpack- at the second annual World Business Council for Sustainable Development (US Midwest) Conference from Aug. 1-2.PackH 2O is a low-cost, durable water backpack that addresses the "Achilles' Heel" of the global clean water challenge – the human transport of clean water from access point to home in developing economies. More than 3,000 families in Haiti, Guatemala, Kenya and Uganda currently use PackH 2O to easily carry up to 20 liters of clean water from access point to home. "Water risk is a significant issue for companies – but just getting water home is a daily hardship for more than one billion people worldwide," said Tony Somers, COO of Impact Economics based in Columbus, Ohio. "Companies committed to sustainability know that solutions like PackH 2O can help people live better lives and create better health outcomes. We are pleased to partner with Greif to showcase PackH 2O at the WBCSD [US] Midwest Conference." Impact Economics partners with leading NGOs, foundations and mission-oriented organizations to distribute PackH 2O and to create micro-business opportunities by supporting local communities to assemble PackH 2O where it is being used. PackH 2O has become an easy-to-distribute alternative to jerry cans and buckets, make-shift items that people in developing nations typically use to carry household water. One billion people face the daily hardship of traveling to find water for personal needs. Women and children in developing nations carry household water an average of 3.5 miles per day. Designed by leading industrial packaging manufacturer Greif, Inc., PackH 2O is made of flexible polyethylene with a puncture-resistant outer shell and a removable plastic liner that is sanitized by sunlight. The water backpack shifts the weight of the water to the shoulders, relieving the pressure on the head and spine. PackH 2O will be demonstrated on Aug. 2 at the WBCSD US Midwest Meeting, which will convene more than 135 sustainability experts from 70 leading organizations, such as Battelle, Clean Water America Alliance, Dow Chemical Company, Kimberly-Clark Corporation, SC Johnson, Veiola Water, North America and Greif. About Impact Economics and PackH 2O One billion people face the daily hardship of traveling to find water for personal needs. The mission of the social-entrepreneurs at Columbus, Ohio-based Impact Economics is to alleviate the "Achilles' Heel" of the global clean water challenge. PackH 2O is designed to ease that burden and help improve and save lives. PackH2O is a lightweight, low-cost, durable water backpack that is easing the burden of human water transport in developing countries. PackH 2O was designed by Greif Inc., Impact Economics LLC and with the help of Greif's partnerships, The Clinton Global Initiative, ProDev & Partners in Health. Working together, these partners are committed to distribute PackH 2O to water-stressed regions. Individuals and organizations can help by purchasing a PackH 2O for other families at www.packH2O.com SOURCE Impact Economics and PackH2O

The Countess of Wessex is chic in camouflage as she visits the 5th Rifles ahead of their deployment to Afghanistan
- The Countess of Wessex was visiting the 5th Battalion, The Rifles
- She is their Royal Colonel, an honorary position within the Army
- She joined the 5th Rifles for training exercises on Salisbury Plain
- The battalion will be deployed to Afghanistan from June
Dressed in a chunky camouflage jacket and a pair of skinny khaki trousers, Sophie Wessex cut an unusually martial figure as she toured an army base in Salisbury.
Although more often found looking elegant in a perfectly cut jacket and neat pair of heels, the Countess of Wessex appeared to enjoy the experience, beaming broadly as she was shown how to use a metal detector by troops.
The 49-year-old was visiting the 5th Battalion The Rifles, as they completed the final stages of a training exercise ahead of their deployment to Afghanistan next month.
Fresh-faced: Sophie Wessex looked far younger than her 49 years as she beamed at members of the 5th Rifles
Sophie Wessex is the Royal Colonel of the 5th Rifles, a ceremonial appointment designed to boost the ties between the regiment and the royal family.
Along with the 5th Rifles, the Countess also holds the title of Colonel-in-Chief of Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps and Corps of Army Music.
In Canada, she is Colonel-in-Chief of the South Alberta Light Horse and of Lincoln and Welland Regiment.
Additionally, the royal is also an honorary air commodore at Air Force Wittering and is the royal sponsor of the Navy's Type 45 destroyer, HMS Daring.
Honorary: The Countess is the Royal Colonel of the 5th Rifles - one of three battalions of which she is patron
Interested: Sophie appeared to enjoy getting to grips with a metal detector and her ride in an armoured vehicle
The past couple of months have been busy ones for the Countess of Wessex, who, following a tour of the Caribbean on behalf of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Foundation, has thrown herself into charitable visits, including one to the hospital where she gave birth to her two children.
And there's much more to come for the hard-working royal, starting with a visit to Bristol and Bath on Monday alongside her husband Prince Edward.
During the visit, the pair will tour the studios of Aardman Animations, the company behind Wallace and Gromit, and take a trip to Bath Abbey.
Huge: The diminutive Countess of Wessex appeared dwarfed by one of the 5th Rifles' huge armoured vehicles
What's going on? Sophie chats to a pair of soldiers sitting under a stretch of camouflage netting
Later this month, the Countess will attend a reception for Tomorrow's People, the youth employment charity of which she is patron, and will host a Buckingham Palace dinner for another of her charities, DEBRA.
Her work could, however, be overshadowed by coverage of the upcoming royal tour of Canada, which is due to begin on the 18th May.
During the tour, which is their second in as many years, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall will visit Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Manitoba.
Intent: Sophie looks concerned as she listens to troops from the 5th Rifles, of which she is Royal Colonel

Inside Story | 26 Jul 2011 11:27 GMT | Australia, Malaysia
Australia will send 800 asylum seekers to Malaysia over the next four years under a new deal; in exchange for Australia resettling 4,000 registered refugees currently languishing in the southeast Asian nation.
Both governments announced the deal in May but were forced to fine tune it amid objections by opposition politicians in their countries and human rights groups that criticise the treatment of about 93,000 refugees now living in Malaysia. But can this swap deal work? And if Malaysia has not signed up to the UN refugee convention, where are the guarantees?

I'll Have the Test-Tube Burger, Please
Taste testers in London may soon sample their first in vitro burger – muscle tissue grown from animal cells in a laboratory. The sci-fi meal is part of a growing trend in research that aims to figure out how to keep up with the world's food demand, which is estimated to double by the year 2030.
A more sustainable, eco-friendly, and humane solution is something that hasn't been invented yet but is possibly months away.
Dutch scientists anticipate grilling up their first in vitro burger this year in London. Details of the where and when of this event haven't been revealed yet, but physiologist Dr. Mark Post said he wants famous British chefs Heston Blumenthal or Jamie Oliver to cook his creation.
Idea of growing meat is nothing new
Britain has long aspired to make meat without killing animals.
In 1932, British political leader Winston Churchill said, "50 years hence, we shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing, by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium."
But as scientists get closer to developing edible lab-grown meat, they're increasingly challenged by the 'yuck factor.' They have to create a product that's nutritionally and visually similar, but also tastes good. Meat grown from tissue cells does not have blood, fat or other materials that make meat taste like, well, meat.
Why Lab Meat?
Conventional livestock practices are unsustainable due to the current rate of meat consumption, population growth, and the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by livestock, according to the U.N. and World Health Organization. The world's population is estimated to grow from 7 billion to around 9 billion by 2050, and global demand for meat will double in the next 40 years.
Livestock is responsible for nearly 20 percent of all greenhouse-gas emissions and cattle consume 10 percent of the world's fresh water supplies. In the United States, 9 billion animals are killed for food each year.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) support the creation of a sustainable and humane solution and in 2008 announced a $1 million reward to the first laboratory to create and mass-market lab-produced chicken. This contest was set to expire June 30, 2012 but since there was no winner, the competition has been extended to June 2013.
How do they make it?
Extraction: Dr. Mark Post and his team at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands, take muscle stem cells from living cattle through biopsy.
Cultivation: The cells are placed in nutrient broth-filled petri dishes that help the cells to grow.
Expansion: The cells are attached to biodegradable scaffolding platforms where they are "exercised" to promote bulk growth and are then stretched upon Velcro boards.
Combination: The 3000 muscle strips and approximately 200 fat strips are minced together to created synthetic hamburger meat.
Dr. Post invited reporters to his lab a year ago to demonstrate this process and the product. He was reportedly unsatisfied with the texture and taste and is working on improvements for the big debut in London sometime this spring.
Post told Reuters News, the cost of producing the first lab-grown burger is around $345,000 – a bit more expensive than your McDonald's dollar-menu hamburger. Mass production of synthetic meat is still years away, but Post believes once the technology has been developed, synthetic meat may be in your grocer's meat aisle sometime in the next 20 years.

The other evening, the Travel Channel was playing in the background as we tended to some important farming and quizzing on facebook (it's become a mind-numbing habit). Suddenly, we heard something . . . somewhere on the edges of our subconsciences . . . could it be? Did we hear that correctly? Did he just say . . . chocolate pudding fruit?!!!????!!!??
As it turns out, we DID hear it correctly. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!!!! It appears that there is a fruit that, when completely ripe, turns dark brown and looks completely mushy and rotten - like chocolate pudding. But here's the kicker: it TASTES like chocolate pudding, too! You can cook with it and make decadent desserts, and it's HEALTHY because it's FRUIT!!!! A mad googling frenzy ensued and alas, it's not easy to have the darn things shipped directly to you. I could order the plants all day long, but who knows if they would grow here? The Pacific Northwest is rawther different than their native southern Mexico.
In a few minutes, the chocolate pudding fruit episode of the Travel Channel show about weird foods is coming on. Well, it's actually about many foods in Australia, but I blacked out after "chocolate pudding fruit." I plan to do my research. I'll get back to you.

Marlborough land deals go ahead
Relevant offers
Three of the six land purchases approved by the Overseas Investment Office in April were in Marlborough.
The OIO, the Government agency that oversees the purchase of sensitive land by foreigners, last week published decision summaries for six purchases. Two of those were wineries expanding their vineyards in Marlborough and one was for forestry.
French and British-owned Cloudy Bay Vineyards bought about 34.6693 hectares at Delta Lake Heights, Waihopai from the Delta Wine Company for an undisclosed price.
Delta Wine Company is owned by Thomson Wine Investments Limited, New Zealand (30.27 per cent), The Marlborough Company Limited, New Zealand (30.27 per cent), David Charles Gleave, Britain (19.73 per cent), and Saint Clair Estate Wines Limited, New Zealand (19.73 per cent).
The decision summary said Cloudy Bay was a long-established owner and operator of vineyards in the Marlborough, which had established itself as a pre-eminent wine company in New Zealand. Wines produced by Cloudy Bay were exported to more than 30 countries worldwide.
It wanted the Waihopai land and the vineyard on it in order to continue to produce high-quality pinot noir in larger volumes and meet its expanded pinot noir sales targets, the office said.
The OIO said the transaction satisfied the "substantial and identifiable benefit to New Zealand" criteria in the law by providing jobs and increased export earnings, and the company had previous investments in New Zealand, which had their viability enhanced by the purchase.
The other vineyard purchase was by American company Constellation, which bought about 12.1400 hectares in Redwood Pass, Marlborough.
The land was bought from Andrew Graham, for an undisclosed price.
The decision summary said Constellation had bought the land to expand its vineyards and winery business.
The "substantial and identifiable benefit to New Zealand" criteria were satisfied by providing jobs, increased export earnings, greater productivity and efficiency, as well as increased processing of primary products.
The third purchase was Ernslaw One, owned by the Tiong family of Malaysia, of 513.8880 hectares in Marlborough's Waihopai Valley.
Ernslaw One bought the land for $780,000 from Peter Thomas Smith, the decision summary said.
The land would be converted into forestry, with Ernslaw One planning a pine forest.
The company already owns Waihopai Valley forestry holdings.
The office said the "substantial and identifiable benefit to New Zealand" criteria were satisfied by providing jobs, increased export earnings, greater productivity and additional investment for development purposes, as well as protection for indigenous vegetation and fauna and greater walking access. firstname.lastname@example.com

Flood zone residents get their annual warning
Related Story
BUTTE LAROSE - Residents in the Morganza Floodway got their flood warning letters from the Army Corps of Engineers, but many say they aren't worried.
Many people in the floodway said they got out before the last big flood, almost three years ago.
This year they say they're staying put. The National Weather Service said the possibility of flooding for that area is average this spring. For now, the water is below the flood stage crest.
"We're not worried this year because the last flood they predicted a 28-foot crest and it came to 23.1 which is right at about the hurricane fence. Unless it comes higher than that we're not going to worry about it," said Cindy Menard.
Menard said she will keep an eye on how fast the snow is melting up north, and evacuate if needed, but she expects to stay home.

No Spinone in either background are from the known CA, SAS, or epilepsy lines. All lines are from Italy and are from breeders who hunt their Spinone. Some of my puppies are active hunting in the field - and several others have become licensed therapy dogs. ........................................................................................................................................................................................ .......................................................................................... .................................................................................. Reservations are now being taken for my next litter, which will be in early 2017. Please contact me directly at the Roadrunner email address for further information. The offspring of this mating will make superb pets, therapy and companion dogs and/or hunting companions. ..................................

Submitted by: Jack and Diane Kearney on Apr 21, 2016This is our first Spinone and Maria Holt was the best. She is a person who brings you in as part of her family, getting a puppy from her was nothing like we have experienced. We have owned dogs before, but never had a "puppy party" before. But I will tell you Maria has the best. You get to meet the puppies for the first time as well as potential puppy parents what a great idea. She is so knowledgeable of the breed, Everything she does she does for her dogs that she owns and all of her pups. She is great with emails before, during and after the puppy process. From the time they are born until you pick up your puppy and after Maria is there for you.No question is to big or small. She encourages puppy parents to keep in touch ,she loves getting updates and pictures of her pups.She is the most dedicated breeder I have come across. Would absolutely recommend Maria Holts spinone's
Submitted by: Jack and Diane Kearney on Apr 21, 2016Maria is a person who brings you in as part of her family. Getting a puppy from Maria is a rewarding experience. We have owned dogs before, but never the way Maria does it. She has a "puppy party" which I have never been to one before, but I will tell you it was the best. You get one on one time with Maria and potential puppy parents as well as interacting with the the puppies.She is the most compasionate person about her dogs that she owns and all of her puppies. She is there for you the puppy parents from the time they are born until they leave and after.She encourages parents to keep her up to date with emails and loves getting pics of her puppies. She also will send some really funny emails to you ,they are great. Highly recommend Maria Holt's Italian Spinone as your breeder.
Submitted by: Andrew Filler on Apr 20, 2016Maria Holt is a one of a kind breeder. Her love of the breed and her pups is unshakeable. The pups are raised in her home from whelping and are well socialized when picked up. Her guidance through the process is great and a huge help. Her willingness help only begins when you leave with your new puppy. If you should have any issues with your dog she is a great resource and if she doesn't have an answer for you she will find one. I would recommend Pook's Rise to anyone looking for a Spinoni pup. They are smart, well socialized, and beautiful dogs.
Submitted by: Liz Spring on Apr 19, 2016Maria is a wonderful and caring breeder. This was our first experience with a pure bred and first puppy, and from the very first phone call, it was clear the deep respect and affection Maria has for her dogs and their puppies. Our puppy gets many compliments on her calm demeanor with strangers and other dogs. Maria keeps you well informed (and entertained!) with email updates along the way, making the transition very easy.
Submitted by: Jeffrey Ams on Apr 18, 2016The entire process and time of working with Maria could not have gone better or easier. She is a fountain of knowledge and helpful ideas and guidance. My puppy has been wonderful and is the star of wherever she goes. If you are considering a Spinone, Maria is the breeder to work with!
Submitted by: John & Maryellen Geoghan on Mar 21, 2016To say that Maria is the most outstanding breeder ever would be an understatement. The care and love that she gives her puppies is truly amazing to observe. The education and guidance that she provides the new owners along the way is above and beyond anything that we'd ever experienced (and we thought that we knew all about raising a puppy).
The second day we had our Luca, we took him out to begin socializing him. He ended up meeting many people of varying ages and each and every person commented on how calm he was and of course how handsome!
And last but not least her emails are Hysterical!
Submitted by: Lou and Joyce Tumolo on Dec 05, 2015My wife and I lost our first Spinone in January 2015 and six months later found our way to Maria and her litter of pups. As a veterinarian I have dealt with many breeders over the past 45 years. I have found Maria and her dogs to be exceptional. Her own dogs are well socialized, well behaved, and live in her house. She is very committed to socializing and medically caring for her puppies properly before they leave for their new home. Through emails and phone calls she has been very supportive and helpful to every person that has purchased a pup from her. She cares very much about where every pup is going and vets out her potential puppy owners to be sure they are a good fit for a Spinone. Maria provides all her puppy owners practical and useful information to help them get the right start while not being pushy or judgmental. Her love for all her dogs and puppies and well as the breed is obvious. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a Spinone.
Submitted by: Paul & Michele Decker on Nov 30, 2015What a wonderful experience and puppy from a truly wonderful person! Maria treats theses pups as her own and is a wealth of knowledge and information. Mum Holt is like your puppies grandmother.
Submitted by: Mary Musante on Nov 03, 2015This is my second Spinoni from Maria Holt. My first is Cosmo, now 4 years old and the most gentle giant in the whole world. Wanting a second Spinoni for companionship for Cosmo I did not even hesitate or look for another breeder, Maria is the most compassionate caring person for her dogs in the whole world. She pampers mom from the very beginning and pampers all the little ones from the day they are born to the day they leave for their new homes. My little Scarlett is the sweetest little girl, fiesty and torments Cosmo to no end but he is very gentle but firm with her when she needs it, no biting private parts allowed! Maria is always giving suggestion and will help you with any questions that you have no matter how old your dog is, and she loves to be constantly updated on the growth of the pups. As she always state they may be our new dogs but they are always her little babies. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in a Spinoni, she will answer any questions regarding the breed so that you can make an informed decision if a Spinoni is right for you, and if you are right for one of her Spinonies.
Submitted by: Liz Tynes on Nov 03, 2015I am a previous Spinone owner(Luigi passed May 2015). I happened to just be looking around for a breeder and came across Maria Holt and her Pooks Rise Spinoni. My sister lives in Massachusetts(I am in the south)so I thought that I would give her a call. Maria is a one of a kind breeder and I bonded with her love of the spinoni. Her thoughtfulness to me in my loss and the excitement of a future pup of hers certainly helped me in my grief. She is a thorough, careful and loving breeder. It is obvious in her continued contact throughout the process with prospective owners. My vet has paid several compliments to the breeder and the quality of my pup (Romeo). My experience with her has been so positive and fun that I am on the list for another puppy spring 2016. The mere fact that I am pursuing another puppy from a future litter should tell you that Maria Holt and her standards are top quality.

Yankees 6, Mariners 4
SEATTLE (AP)—John Olerud wasn't out for revenge against the Seattle Mariners.
Olerud hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the eighth inning against his former team, and the New York Yankees overcame another mediocre start by Esteban Loaiza to beat the Mariners 6-4 Saturday.
"I always felt I would be able to get it turned around," Olerud said. "Fortunately, I've been able to get some big hits here. But I'm just up there today trying to get a hit and score the run."
After Loaiza wasted a three-run lead and fell behind 4-3, the Yankees tied the score in the seventh on consecutive doubles by Enrique Wilson and John Flaherty off Jamie Moyer.
Shigetoshi Hasegawa (4-5) hit Gary Sheffield with a pitch leading off the eighth, then allowed a double to deep center by Bernie Williams that put runners on second and third.
George Sherrill relieved and retired Hideki Matsui on a weak grounder to first, then intentionally walked Ruben Sierra to face Olerud, who singled to right field. Olerud, who batted .245 for Seattle with 22 RBIs in 78 games before he was released, is hitting .333 (11-for-33) with 11 RBIs in nine games with the Yankees.
Olerud, a native of Seattle who plans to make his home in the area after he retires, got a standing ovation from the Safeco Field crowd of 46,530 before his first at-bat in the second.
"I think any time you're with a new club, you want to do well and help the team win," he said. "It's a good feeling. When they pitch around the guy in front of you to get to you, you definitely want to come through with a hit right there," he said.
Mariners manager Bob Melvin thought walking Sierra was his only option.
"Believe me, we didn't want it working out that way," he said. "Johnny actually hit a pretty good pitch."
Sherrill was called up by the Mariners from Triple-A Tacoma on July 15, the same day the team designated Olerud for assignment.
"It was a good groundball pitch," Sherrill said. "He just hit in the hole. Nine times out of 10, that is going to be an out."
New York manager Joe Torre said Olerud is too professional to be mad at the Mariners.
"I'm not sure he thinks he was dealt a dirty blow," he said. "He doesn't seem like that kind of individual. I'm sure he was satisfied more so that he came over here and he got a big hit for us."
Gary Sheffield and Williams homered for the Yankees (75-41), who won their fourth straight game to improve to a season-high 34 games over .500. The last-place Mariners (43-73) lost their third straight and dropped a season-low 30 games under.
Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter made an outstanding defensive play in the seventh to keep Seattle from taking a 5-4 lead. With two on and two outs, he dived to snare Dan Wilson's grounder up the middle and tossed to second for the forceout.
Paul Quantrill (6-2) got the victory with one inning of relief. Mariano Rivera pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 40th save in 43 chances.
Sheffield and Williams hit back-to-back homers in the first inning, and the Yankees made it 3-0 in the third when Jeter doubled to extend his hitting streak to 15 games, stole third and scored on Sheffield's infield out.
With the Yankees temporarily going to a six-man rotation because Mike Mussina is coming off the disabled list Tuesday, Loaiza didn't help himself in his competition with Orlando Hernandez and Jon Lieber for the final two spots. Loaiza allowed four runs, seven hits, four walks and a wild pitch in 5 1-3 innings, giving up 27th homer of the season, third in the AL behind Anaheim's Bartolo Colon (30) and Moyer, who leads the major leagues with 33.
Loaiza, acquired from the Chicago White Sox on July 31 for Jose Contreras, is 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in three starts with the Yankees. Contreras won at Fenway Park for the first time on Friday night and is 2-0 with a 3.15 ERA for the White Sox.
"I thought he was better," Torre said of Loaiza. "The one inning where they scored the three runs he got himself into some count troubles. I think the lack of command or trying to be too perfect hurt him."
Loaiza was unhappy that he gave up a 3-0 lead.
"In that inning where I gave up three runs, I just wanted to get a ground ball and get people out," he said. "But things didn't go my way."
Edgar Martinez's RBI single began Seattle's comeback in the third, and the Mariners took a 4-3 lead in the fifth. Jose Lopez, a 20-year-old playing his 14th game with Seattle, became the second rookie in two games to hit his first major league homer off Loaiza.
Seattle then loaded the bases with no outs, and Bret Boone and Raul Ibanez hit sacrifice flies.
Moyer, 0-6 in 10 starts and 11 appearances since winning at Pittsburgh on June 18, gave up four runs and seven hits in seven innings.
Toronto's Gabe Gross homered off Loaiza on Monday. … Seattle RHP Joel Pineiro, a 16-game winner last season, might not pitch again this season. Pineiro made his last start July 25 in Anaheim before being put on the 15-day DL with a strained flexor in his right elbow. He is rehabilitating his elbow and is not throwing. "Unless he's 100 percent in our mind, we won't run him out there," Melvin said.

Ubuntu 16.04 vs. vs. Clear Linux vs. openSUSE vs. Scientific Linux 7
Here are some extra Linux distribution benchmarks for your viewing pleasure this weekend. Following the release of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS last week, I was running another fresh performance comparison of various Linux distributions on my powerful Xeon E3-1270 v5 Skylake system. I made it a few Linux distributions in before the motherboard faced an untimely death. Not sure of the cause yet, but the motherboard is kaput and thus the testing was ended prematurely.
