Chefs with Issues is a platform for chefs and farmers we love, fired up for causes about which they're passionate. Craig Rogers is the shepherd and owner of Border Spring Farm Lamb in Patrick Springs, Virginia, where he raises and sells pastured raised "Animal Welfare Approved" lamb to acclaimed chefs across the country. He is a vocal advocate for rural small farms.
Over the past couple of years I have been able to share some of my thoughts with readers of Eatocracy with articles in 5@5 and Chefs with Issues. The comments posted after those articles are often upsetting for a farmer to read.
I've read claims like "American farmers, among the wealthiest Americans..." I have also come across people who believe that "Americans are taxed 20B USD (!!) a year in farm subsidies, so I feel I have already purchased your produce."
So I thought I would share some data - not an opinion, but hard facts from the U.S. Census Bureau and the United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service to paint a more accurate portrait of America's farmers.
How much are farms raking in?
– In 2009 (the latest data available), the net earnings from farming activities on 90.5 percent of all farms in America (with sales less than $249,000) was on average $2,615.
– 73.5 percent of all farm income comes from the top 5.3 percent of all farms (those bringing in $500,000 or above annually) in terms of gross revenue.
How much livestock does it take?
In 2005, Ohio State published a study entitled "How many sheep would it take to make a living?".
The author, Donald J. Breece, assumed that the goal was a net income of $50,000 (the average farm family living expenses plus taxes in 2003 was $46,752 per family and in 2011 it increased to $51,413 according to U.S. Labor Department data).
The study determined that it would take a farm to generate $300,000 in gross revenue or 1778 ewes (plus their lambs) to generate this "average income" in 2003. There is nothing "average" about a sheep farm with 1778 ewes and approximately 2600 lambs.
Only 10.8 percent of American farms have gross sales of $250,000. This upper ten percent own 49.4 percent of American farmland and each of their farms averages more than 2000 acres. These are not the farms you are likely to see as you drive down a country road.
98.9 percent of all breeding sheep operations have fewer than 500 ewes. The other 1.1 percent have 43 percent of the country's breeding sheep inventory.
The situation is even more unbalanced in hog and pig operations. 58.1 percent of the hog and pig inventory in America is on 0.2 percent of the hog farms in America (farms with 50,000 hogs on them). Also, 91 percent of the hog and pig inventory is on farms with 2000 or more hogs and pigs on them, which represent the top 0.5 percent of farms.
That's a lot of pigs and again - not the farm you are likely to see on your country drive.
Why not just sell direct?
Many farmers are adding to their gross sales by attempting to sell directly to stores, chefs and consumers, but this is hardly a panacea. Most American farms are not in reasonable driving distance to urban centers where consumer, wholesale and restaurant sales can be significant.
In 2005 only 6.5 percent of all farmers markets (not individual farmers or vendors, but the entire market) have annual total sales greater than $25,000. 71.4 percent of farmers markets produce less than $5000 in annual sales.
There are indeed very successful farmers markets. Again, in 2005, 0.6 percent of farmers markets had gross annual sales of $100,000. None were in the Northeast or Rocky Mountain region, the most were in the Southeast (2.4 percent of their markets), and very small percentages, 0.2-0.7, were located in the other regions of the country.
Please don't yell at the 90 percent of farmers!
When farmers hear and read about farmers receiving billions of dollars of government subsidies, they are as dismayed as anyone else. A sheep farmer, organic produce farmer, chicken farmer and pig farmer won't see that money. The subsidies are for very specific crops which most farmers don't grow and which are controlled by the largest of the large farms.
The data above includes government subsidies and payments as a part of gross annual sales. So much like the rest of society, 73.5 percent of all farm income comes from the top 5.3 percent of farms.
Most farmers are struggling and over these past few weeks, you could watch the news and see farmers with grandchildren in tears as the drought brought an end to their generational farm.
Those farms you see dotting the countryside are not likely to have over 2000 hogs and pigs or to have 1700 ewes. The farms you are most likely to stumble across are part of the bottom 90.5 percent, bringing in an average net income of $2,615.
As a farmer and a shepherd, when I hear you state with disdain how rich we are, how much in government subsidies we get, how lucrative our profession is, I look around in puzzlement. That is not me or my farm, nor does it reflect the farms of my neighbors, or any I know of in Patrick County, Virginia.
Farmers are a hard working lot. When you yell at the top ten percent without being specific about which farmer you are referring to, we all hear you.
Sound off - did the stats convince you? Let us know in the comments below.

|Article Title:
|Altered ligands reveal limited plasticity in the T cell response to a pathogenic epitope.
|Reference Detail
|Reference ID:
|Experimental leishmaniasis offers a well characterized model of T helper type 1 cell (Th1)-mediated control of infection by an intracellular organism. Susceptible BALB/c mice aberrantly develop Th2 cells in response to infection and are unable to control parasite dissemination. The early CD4(+) T cell response in these mice is oligoclonal and reflects the expansion of Vbeta4/ Valpha8-bearing T cells in response to a single epitope from the parasite Leishmania homologue of mammalian RACK1 (LACK) antigen. Interleukin 4 (IL-4) generated by these cells is believed to direct the subsequent Th2 response. We used T cells from T cell receptor-transgenic mice expressing such a Vbeta4/Valpha8 receptor to characterize altered peptide ligands with similar affinity for I-Ad. Such altered ligands failed to activate IL-4 production from transgenic LACK-specific T cells or following injection into BALB/c mice. Pretreatment of susceptible mice with altered peptide ligands substantially altered the course of subsequent infection. The ability to confer a healer phenotype on otherwise susceptible mice using altered peptides that differed by a single amino acid suggests limited diversity in the endogenous T cell repertoire recognizing this antigen.

When I was 23, I went to the bank and borrowed $2,000 to receive a lifetime membership to a south Minneapolis health club. I would never have to pay monthly dues. After pretty regularly getting there two to three times a week for more than 30 years, it has turned out to be the best investment I ever made. While it is easy to look at the success of this now, I wish I could say that I knew what I was doing, but I simply got lucky.

MIAMI (AP) _ Miami's Zach Thomas has had tests for a possible
concussion and could miss the Dolphins' game against the New York
Jets Sunday.
The middle linebacker played every defensive play in the loss to
Dallas last week, but complained of being lightheaded after the
game according to coach Cam Cameron. Thomas had a migraine on
Wednesday and missed practice leading to today's tests.

Chicago - Don Baylor wonders what it would have been like to manage the Rockies with a humidor. He wishes things had worked out differently with the Chicago Cubs. But more than anything, the only man to lead both teams wants another chance.
He might get one after emerging this week as a strong candidate for the Baltimore Orioles' managerial vacancy. Andy MacPhail, who oversaw Baylor's hiring in Chicago, is leading the search as Baltimore's new president. Joe Girardi turned down the job, leaving Dusty Baker, Davey Johnson, Rick Dempsey and Baylor as possible successors to Sam Perlozzo.
"I believe Andy is working on getting back to his office. Then he will have some names in the mix," Baylor said Monday. "There is always something that you are reaching for and you just need the opportunity. The way I left Chicago is not the way I want to leave managing."
Baylor, who guided the Rockies to their only playoff berth in 1995 and has a 627-689 career record, remains involved in baseball. He recently began performing pregame and postgame TV work for the Washington Nationals. Two factors are working in his favor regarding the Baltimore opening: He broke into the big leagues with the Orioles, and his passion is unmistakable.
"Your first team as a player, that's the one that stays with you the longest," Baylor said. "I always consider myself an Oriole because that's where it all started."
Baylor was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer in 2003. However, he said he is in remission and physically capable of handling the daily grind again.
"If I need my doctor to write a note like they did in grade school, he already said he would do it," Baylor said.
Bayou boys
Brad Hawpe saw familiar friends Ryan Theriot and Mike Fontenot when he stared out at the Cubs during batting practice. Theriot to Fontenot to Hawpe was the double-play combination at LSU when the Tigers claimed the NCAA championship in 2000.
Blog: All Things Rockies
Troy Renck posts analysis, notes and minutiae on this blog devoted to the Colorado Rockies.
"I love those guys," Hawpe said. "We were a close team. That's one of the big reasons we won."
The feeling grew Monday night that Chicago White Sox left-hander Mark Buehrle would be traded to the Boston Red Sox. If the deal goes through, don't be surprised to see Buehrle sign a multiyear deal, making him more than a rental player. ... Teams calling Florida about Dontrelle Willis, a player the Rockies have always liked, don't believe the Marlins will trade the pitcher. Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said Taylor Buchholz and Triple-A pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez remain the most viable options if a move is required to stabilize the rotation. Last year's top draft pick, Greg Reynolds, who was dominating in Double-A, has experienced shoulder soreness for a second time. He was in Denver on Monday to be examined.

Does anyone know if there was a bonus scene? I read in all kinds of interviews there was supposed to be a bonus scene during or after the credits but didn't see it. Did anyone else get an extra scene?

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has appointed former Nigerian health minister Dr. Babatunde Osotimehin to head the United Nations Population Fund, UNFPA. Women Deliver would like to congratulate and welcome Dr. Osotimehin, a strong and lifelong advocate for women's health and rights.
Dr. Osotimehin, a medical doctor who specialized in clinical pathology, served as Nigeria's health minister from December 2008 to March 2010. He is currently Professor of Medicine at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and the African Spokesperson for the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health. Prior to this, he was also Director-General of Nigeria's National Agency for the Control of HIV and AIDS. In addition, he was a Visiting Fellow at the Harvard Centre for Population and Development Studies.
Dr. Osotimehin succeeds Thoraya Ahmed Obaid of Saudi Arabia, an expert on women's issues who supported the work of Women Deliver throughout her term. She has served as the fund's executive director since 2001.
"Dr. Osotimehin's qualifications and extensive experience position him well to lead the global agenda for population and development and to promote the right to sexual and reproductive health," said Ms. Obaid. "We will work closely with him to ensure a successful transition."
Dr. Osotimehin, who will assume office on 1 January, will become the fourth Executive Director of UNFPA since it became operational in 1969.

Eric Jagielo (on the DL) is placed on the Charleston roster. #yankees
— Josh Norris (@jnorris427) June 20, 2013
So first round draft pick Eric Jagielo will be starting off in Charleston instead of Staten Island which is where most people thought he'd go. This move places him higher than every other draft pick in his class. Jagielo is currently on the DL with a hamstring injury that he suffered during extended Spring Training.

What should be the standard for craft breweries?
A couple of weeks ago, when I reported that Flying Dog had sold its Wild Goose brand to something that referred itself as a "nano-brewery," an incredulous reader snapped back on twitter, "WTF is a nano-brewery?" (Hi @ryan97ou!)
Who can blame him for the confusion. In the beer world, terms like nano-breweries and microbreweries and craft breweries are often interchangeable, so that's it's difficult to know exactly how macro some of these places really are.
According to the Brewers Association, the trade group that represents mostly small breweries, the standard for a craft brewery was the maximum production of 2 million barrels.
But as of December, the new standard is 6 million barrels, which means that Boston Beer Company, makers of Samuel Adams, can continue to be considered a craft brewer. This is, in part, a case of boosterism by the craft beer industry, says trade writer Andy Crouch.
By expanding the standard, the Boston Beer Company's sales can still be included in the annual count of craft brewers' total sales.
But Crouch says, though the new definition is a welcome step, it's not as important as technique or taste. He writes the new definition continues to exclude breweries like Goose Island Brewing that have corporate ties (to Anheuser-Busch InBev, in this case), even though it is indisputably as innovative as any artisinal, or entirely independent microbrewery.
"I can honestly say that I have visited few breweries with such a dedicated passion for producing great, flavorful beers and to pushing the edge of brewing. The brewery simply puts many other regional breweries, with all of their independent, craft brewer puffery, to shame," he writes of Goose Island.
It seems that despite the new definition, the jury is still out on what constitutes craft. What do you think should be important, innovation, quantity, or independence?
In related news, the Washington Post reports six microbreweries are coming to Washington D.C. in 2011, including Port City Brewing Co. in Alexandria, which has a 30-barrel brew house and 60- and 90-barrel fermenters.
No mention there of Logan Shaw Brewing Company's status. (via)
If I remember correctly, Washington City Paper made a similar prediction back in October.

4 Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks To Check Out: AEP, VTR, TE, HIW
TECO EnergyDividend Yield: 5.40% TECO Energy (NYSE: TE) shares currently have a dividend yield of 5.40%. TECO Energy, Inc., an electric and gas utility holding company, engages in the regulated electric and gas utility operations. The company has a P/E ratio of 15.26. The average volume for TECO Energy has been 1,934,500 shares per day over the past 30 days. TECO Energy has a market cap of $3.5 billion and is part of the utilities industry. Shares are down 1.3% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings rates TECO Energy as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its reasonable valuation levels and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 59.38% to $129.90 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, TECO ENERGY INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 4.37%.
- Regardless of the drop in revenue, the company managed to outperform against the industry average of 2.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 2.2%. The declining revenue appears to have seeped down to the company's bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- Even though the current debt-to-equity ratio is 1.29, it is still below the industry average, suggesting that this level of debt is acceptable within the Multi-Utilities industry. Despite the fact that TE's debt-to-equity ratio is mixed in its results, the company's quick ratio of 0.60 is low and demonstrates weak liquidity.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Multi-Utilities industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, TECO ENERGY INC has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.

Locust Grove Elementary recently named "Writers of the Month." Students submitted writing throughout the past month and those named were selected by a committee. Each student was called down during an assembly to receive a certificate and a pencil.
Students in Colleen Davis' freshman geography classes at South Oldham High School are trying to bring visibility to "the invisible" by raising awareness of the hardships faced by children growing up in Uganda.
The North Oldham High School Marching Band ended their 2008 season in the State Semi-Finals for the second time in their six-year history. The band, under the direction of Kyle Ray, Amy Fisher and Marc Richardson, finished 15th in the State of Kentucky in Class AAA competition at Meade County High School on Nov. 1. The band has been invited to perform at Disney World in May.
Middle School
Sixth grade
All seventh grade students from South Oldham Middle School went on a field trip this past fall. Half of the trip was to the Louisville Water Company where students learned the history of the Ohio River Valley and the water they drink. The other half of the trip was to the Falls of the Ohio where students learned about the fossils that are commonly found in this area. Both places were tied to the core content standards for Earth's History.
The following seventh- and eighth-grade band members from Oldham County Middle School were selected for Eastern Kentucky University's annual Middle School Honor Band Clinic: Caitlin Armstrong, Cassie Eldridge, Joshua Ely, Ben Finch, Krista Fitzgerald, Ben Hoffman, Adam Lang, Dallin Larsen, Kayla Logsdon, Eileen Ramirez, Anna Reeves, Erik Vokoun, Harrison Wight, Brandon Turney and John White.
South Oldham Middle School girls competed Tuesday for the title of South Oldham Idol with various musical performances.

Students pay $1 to watch the contest, which is part of a fundraising effort that collected $1,324 to provide for poor families within the school during the holidays.
Porcini, McDonald's, sunny-side-up eggs at home — it doesn't really matter to eighth-grader Landon Williams. He just wants to cook.
So he enjoyed his class' visit to McDonald's Nov. 11 like he enjoyed their visit to Porcini's last spring. He thinks he'd enjoy working at either one some day.
Goshen Elementary kindergarten students performed Thanksgiving plays Tuesday displaying the virtues of persistence. In addition to acting and singing, some kindergartners even showed off their reading skills.

LAKEWOOD —Ward 4 Councilman David Wiechman is the only incumbent in Lakewood to face a challenger this election, and it could be a formidable one in retired state legislator Betty Boyd.
Wiechman, who was elected in 2009, has been a controversial figure on Lakewood City Council, particularly in relation to his financial support in 2011 — more than $20,000 in cash and in-kind donations — to then-Ward 3 candidate Pete Roybal, something Wiechman still stands behind as the right thing to do to "level the playing field" and "support a diverse voice in our community."
Often on the losing side of lopsided council votes, Wiechman was also publicly criticized by his colleagues earlier this year after an incident in which a city employee alleged seeing an indecent image on his iPad.
Wiechman said while he may not be the most popular person on council, he serves a valuable role, whether it's opposing food-producing animals or the city's legal fight with residents over 2090 S. Wright St.
"No one is perfect. I certainly fall into that category. I've made mistakes and I've tried to learn from them and I try to do better," Wiechman said. "The bottom line is my job is not to be a perfect person. My job is to represent the people of Ward 4. That's what I've been doing and that's what I want to continue to focus on."
But Boyd, the former president pro tem of the Colorado Senate, said she jumped into the race in part because she believes the judgment shown by Wiechman in recent situations was "less than stellar."
"I want to restore dignity for the people of Ward 4," Boyd said.
Moreover, Boyd said she is a proven leader with a style that would be an asset on the city level. Boyd served in the state House of Representatives from 2001 to 2006 and the state Senate from 2006 to 2012 before leaving due to term limits.
"I've been a leader in the legislature for all those many years. I would like to bring that back to city council," Boyd said. "I have a reputation of working collaboratively with people. I have reached across the aisle and worked well with different people on different issues to draft meaningful solutions."
Wiechman, though, said it's important to have independent voices on council, because Lakewood is a diverse community, not "an 11-0 society."
"I'm not the 'yes' man," Wiechman said. "We don't need another 'yes' man on council."
In terms of top issues, Wiechman and Boyd also diverge.
Wiechman said he would like to see the city stop its fight over the ownership of 2090 S. Wright St., a property once proposed for a deaf school, as well as ban Amendment 64-related marijuana businesses.
"I'm advocating for opt out — just keep our medical marijuana facilities to serve our medical needs, and when it comes to recreational use, people can go across Sheridan and buy their recreational drugs in Denver," Wiechman said.
Boyd said her top priorities include making sure Lakewood is ready for the coming "silver tsunami" of aging residents, while also staying fiscally responsible.
Boyd currently serves on the state's Community Living Advisory Group, a body appointed by Gov. John Hickenlooper to look at the growing need for senior services.
"With this silver tsunami that's coming, the city needs to look at how they could perhaps expand services or stretch them so they can serve more people, particularly transportation," Boyd said. "For many seniors, the most difficult part of aging in place is losing their transportation, their ability to drive."
The winner of the Nov. 5 election will be sworn into office Nov. 25.

Some dogs can accidentally pee when they become excited. This is a guide about what to do if a dog pees in the house when excited.
I have a 1 year old miniature dachshund that urinates every time my husband comes home. He wants us to get rid of her and I want to keep her. Any ideas?
jgl7777 from Cincinnati, OH
My dog, she is a black lab, about 6 or 7 years old, has peed in my room a few times now. I always yell at her and today she was walking and pee was dripping down from her tail. Also, when she was sleeping her whole area was wet. Is she sick or just getting old?
We adopted two wonderful Poms from a shelter/rescue center. One of them took to the doggie door immediately while the other one is still not there. The problem we are having is that one of them pees when he is happy or gets excited (which is all the time)! What can I do to fix this? I am distraught at this time and if we are not able to get him trained to not pee all over my house we will have to give him back. This is be terrible for both our Pom as well as ourselves as we already love him so much. Any suggestions or have any of you gone through this with success?
By TS
My little Pomeranian use to pee when anyone would come into the room. This is a dog's way of saying "I'm friendly, please don't hurt me." When my little pom would start to pee I would gently put my hand on her tummy, and lift her tummy. She would stop peeing. Do not use words, just stay very calm because dogs pick up on your energy.
Do not scold your dog cause that will make matters worse. She quickly learned that no body was going to her, and she stopped peeing.
My 14 week old Chi-poo puppy gets so excited when my dad gets home that she pees on the floor. She only does that to him. Any idea's how to stop this from happening? And will getting her fixed help this problem too?
By Loni from Bella Vista, AR
I had a Pomeranian who use to pee when people came in the room. This is a very submissive way of saying "please don't hurt me, I'm friendly". I would gently put my hand under her tummy and lift her tummy and that would make her stop peeing. It didn't take long for her to understand that no body was going to hurt her and she stopped peeing. Hope this helps.
Is it normal for a Jack Russell to pee when excited? He will pee if you pet him or even talk to him. I do not know what to do, and we have carpet in the house. He jumps on the bed when the grandsons come over and pees on the bed, and gets on the furniture and pees too, what can I do? I love him to pieces but am so very frustrated
By Cindy B
My dog used to do this, usually when we come in the house and she was excited that we came home. We learned to ignore her, no touch, no talk, no eye contact, for maybe 10 minutes, then she would be calm enough and didn't pee.
My Dachshund is a 2 year old male. He keeps on urinating when he gets excited or if we scold him? I had asked a doctor about this problem and he told me it would go away when became one and a half years old, but it still didn't stop. Please help me.
By Ayush
I had a Pom that use to do this. While she was peeing, all I did was gently put my hand on her tummy and gently lift her to her feet. It didn't take long for my little girl to stop peeing.
Do not scold your little dog. In doggy language they are saying, Please don't hurt me, I am friendly." Believe me this will stop if you do it gently and with much love.
I have a 7 month old Dachshund that pees every time someone comes over. He also pees most of the time when he is spoken to. How can this be stopped?
By Karen
Submissive urination is a dog's uncontrollable, instinctive reaction to the presence of another dog or human that they feel is superior or is intimidating to them. It is a subconscious response that cannot be controlled. It is not a housebreaking issue, although it is more likely to happen when the bladder is full. It can often be a reaction to a specific action such as putting a leash on the dog or simply leaning down to stroke him.
Excited urination is different in that a puppy will usually grow out of this reaction. Submissive urination, however, often has to be overcome though training. Dogs read body language extremely well and we, as owners, sometimes give off the incorrect signals, resulting in the dog offering submissive gestures such as urination. Fear, lack of confidence, sensitivity, confusion and nervousness can result in submissive urination in older dogs as well. It can also be triggered through inappropriate punishment, although this does not always have to be the case.
You should never punish submissive urination. It will only make it problem worse. It is important to remember that your reaction and body language to the problem can intensify it, so be sure not to cause fear or anxiety for your dog.
There are many things we can do to minimize submissive urination. The main training goal is to build confidence and to redirect the dogs mind to other actions than urinating when concerned or excited.
Here are a few things that can help.
Dont punish your dog for urinating.
Don't attempt to reassure your dog or reinforce his actions by saying Its Ok or talking in a sweet voice. Keep quiet but relaxed. Ignore his body posturing behavior.
Familiarize him gradually in small stages with noises, people, and other dogs.
Dont rush him into situations and experiences. Move closer to situations that may concern him only as he shows confidence. The same with noises or any other stimulus that may concern him. Build up gradually.
Do basic obedience training and do it in a way that is not confrontational. Make it fun and confidence building.
Use a crate when you cannot supervise or when you are away. Put his crate near a door that allows him quickly outside to an enclosed area. In this way you can get him outside to go to the bathroom with the potential of avoiding an accident.
Take him out regularly to do his business so his bladder will not build up pressure.
Do not go straight to his crate when entering a room.
When arriving home do not go straight to him and let him out. Allow him to calm down first.
If he has been out to do his business and is once more back in the crate, smile and wave at him in the crate occasionally as you walk past.
When you go to the crate to let him out do so quietly and don't talk to him.
Bend down at the knees to undo the crate and do not lean over it or your dog.
If he urinates dont say anything, get him outside and then clean up without him seeing you do this.
When out in the yard, do not call him up to you but walk slowly around with him. Give him a command to urinate and praise him calmly using voice only when he does.
Do everything slowly and work at making your body language calm and unconcerned. Keep verbal volume low.
Be non-threatening. Dont lean over him but get down to his level kneeling or sitting on the floor. Dont stare at him or show displeasure no matter how you feel. If he is a naughty dog and is not very obedient, put him on a leash the moment he has urinated outside. Find ways to avoid him doing wrong and help him to do right so he can be praised and then gain confidence in you and himself. If you can avoid the situations where he does wrong and put him in situations to do right then you can build more praise into the day and his confidence will grow.
Spend time sitting with him by your side on a leash.
Take him for walks where he can gradually be exposed to the situations that trigger his urination.
Train friends and people you meet to train him. Ask them to only calmly smile and slowly wave. They are to remain calm and quiet, dont stare, stand sideways to him (do not directly face him) and talk in a calm voice with you. If they have dogs, they should keep their dog under control and at a distance. Their dog does not need to greet yours.
Avoid situations and people that you cannot control until your dog is learning to control himself and gain confidence.
Submissive urination is annoying and frustrating, but exhibiting these emotions to your dog only makes it worse. With a little planning and adjusting your attitude, you can minimize and overcome the problem.

Ashley Bell may be a relative newcomer, but it sounds as if her role in the upcoming The Last Exorcism could prove to be a breakout performance. Bell plays Nell Sweetzer, a young woman who may or may not be possessed. Reverend Cotton (Patrick Fabian), a renowned exorcism "expert," brings a documentary crew to the Sweetzer farm for one final ritual. Fabian has praised Bell's performance, remarking last month that he was "seriously creeped out" by her portrayal. Bell told ShockTillYouDrop that she was drawn to the "complex character" of Nell and began to research the role before she was even cast.
I have a tendency to get very obsessive about things, so I actually began researching during the audition process and I read every single book I could find. I listened to tapes. I listened to some of the Vatican tapes on their lectures on exorcism. I visited churches. The scene I auditioned with was actually getting exorcised in the room. So, there I was in the middle of a casting office in West Hollywood and this man was summoning this demon out of me and I was writhing around on the floor and a cameraman was standing over me. And I just said to myself, "My parents would be so proud right now."
Bell said director Daniel Stamm encouraged her to "Watch all the exorcist films and then don't do that" for what is, admittedly, her "first really big role." Bell also praised Stamm for his shooting style, which she described as "shooting around 20 or 30 takes a scene and coming up with new things, new ideas, and letting us try so many different things."
The night before filming, we were talking about the exorcism scene — the second exorcism — and I didn't know what was going to be required of me physically, so I prepared for everything. And I was working on some backbends and some things. And I said, "Oh, can I show you this? I have a couple of ideas." And he said, "Yeah, sure." And I did it, and he went, "Do that. We're putting that in." And it was just so thrilling to have that happen there, or to be able to be on set and figure things out with everyone. It felt like such a collaborative process.
Stamm also received daily help from producer Eli Roth, said Bell.
He was traveling with Inglourious Basterds but we got notes from him every single day and I got a chance to work with him a lot in some of the post-production and the re-shoots. He was immensely integral to the film. I was talking to one of the people in post and she said she has never seen a producer that has been so hands on and has literally taken the project and run with it. I think that that is the heart of the film — that people were so passionate about it from the beginning. And Eli is definitely one of the frontrunners. It was so cool watching him in part of the editing room with Daniel because I saw him almost build a scene and build the suspense.

Hello All,
This is something needed at many places , i created a patch in jquery and as i tested at many places its working fine . Currently the code is specific to fields having name "fromDate" and "thruDate", further we can improve the code and make it generic.
The patch is a sample and we can improve it further.
Thanks & Regards
Ankit Jain
Sorry I missed one file in my patch, so this is the updated patch.
Ankit Jain
Looks good so far Ankit (just reviewed for now)
Could you have a look at the error message i18n issue please? How do you envision to make the code generic, could you explain? (I can see very easy solutions by quering all possible date field through id (if date is in) or CSS, etc. but I can't find a completely generic solution...)
Hello Jacques,
Thanks to look into it , i'll upadte my patch for error message, Jacques in our form-widget the ids are auto generated and is something like "formName_fieldName" , so how could you query through ids.
Currently the code is handling two field FromDate and ThruDate , but it may be possible if anyone want to use it for WorkEffort StartDate and EndDate than? so i talked about generalised solution .
As we do in ftls we add a class for field and in js we can fetch fields that have our class and do the operations accordingly , that something i was saying and if possible we'll apply here , So anyone can use for checking two date fields which have different names.
Its weekend so i'll try it on Monday. Happy Weekend....
Thanks & Regards
Ankit Jain
Just a tip: for the error message, you could maybe have something like in ajaxSubmitFormUpdateAreas with data.ERROR_MESSAGE
if (data.ERROR_MESSAGE_LIST != undefined || data.ERROR_MESSAGE != undefined)
but not sure from where and how the data.ERROR_MESSAGE content should come...
Same patch than last Ankit's but taking into account that the dates can't be same
Thanks Ankit,
I committed a modified patch in trunk at revision: 1598977

All Ye Faithful,
Back in April I applied for a U.S. passport since I'm still a citizen there and the government has made it so that we can't go across the border without one. This is a mind-boggling process. Here's the short version: If you don't live in the U.S. don't try to get a U.S. passport.
Not that I really felt like it but I researched this whole process online, made sure I had all my paperwork lined up, ordered (at great expense) a properly certified birth certificate, paid my fees and walked away expecting to see a passport in the mail within 2 months. They promised.
About 6 weeks later I got a fat envelope with 7 pages on which I had to swear that I've never borne arms in a foreign country – I've never borne arms, at all (except for the BB gun owned by the boy next door when I was 7) – and that I've never sworn allegiance anywhere else – nowhere else I've lived has ever asked me to swear allegiance (and not over and over and over daily from the age of 5 before school can even start in the morning) and on and on and on about foreign governments and foreign allegiances and military this and that – my god, people, I've lived in Canada since I was 14 – and it had to be notarized at further expense.
I sent that off, another month went by and I got another fat envelope. Yippee, my passport! Nope, another 10 pages to fill out. Can't help feeling they're just starting to get warmed up here. This time they want an autobiography because apparently the last 11 pages of detail, driver's license with photograph, certified birth certificate and $300 wasn't enough.
They want to know every single place I've lived since I was born, right down to the zip codes. We don't call them zip codes in Canada, they're postal codes here. I once lived in a teepee. Does anyone really need to know that?
They want to know every single place I've worked since I was born, in and out of the U.S., right down to employers' names, addresses, zip codes and dates. That's a good one. I'll get right on it. Ever heard the saying, "If you remember the 1970's you weren't there"? Anyone remember all their jobs? I remember doing half a day in a Jack-in-the-Box near San Diego. After about an hour I thought, 'This is not the real me.' It took two more hours to get over the guilt of quitting and then I was gone.
They want to know every single place I've gone to school since I was born, addresses and zip codes. Anyone remember where they went to kindergarten? I don't. And there's not a single family member still living who could tell me.
They want to know ALL my family members – good thing I spent some time putting that together – and their birth dates. And whether they're U.S. citizens. Do you know I don't even know the answer to that?
AND they want a minimum of 5 pieces of identification that are at least 5 years old, which include photographs of me and/or my signature and physical description. Right. On a page of 24 possible types of acceptable ID I've been able to come up with 2, one of which would be my high-school yearbook photo. More than a few decades later, it doesn't even look like me but if they want it, sure, what the hell. The other one is my driver's license but that's iffy because it's not quite 5 years old yet and they already have a copy of it and apparently it isn't acceptable. Several of the options are military IDs. There they go again. I live in Canada. We don't really do military up here all that much. We have soldiers around somewhere. I don't think I've ever even seen one.
Do I really think, in my wildest dreams, that they will accept any form of Canadian identification?
I tried calling their 1-800 number to inquire what all this has to do with anything and, considering the mood I was in, it's a good thing I got an automated response telling me that their number can't be reached from my area. So I went online looking for a way to contact them. Nothing but the same 1-800 number. Apparently, they don't email, instant message or tele-communicate with U.S. citizens who don't live in the U.S.
So, it's just me and this pile of paper. And if I don't fill it out they won't let me into my own country. I'm getting closer and closer to telling them what they can do with my country …
Hey! I heard Barack has a Blackberry and he takes calls from ordinary citizens. Do you think he'd take a call from Canada? Anyone have that number? Anyone have a friendly connection in the Passport Agency?
As a genealogist, doesn't it make you wish that this level of bureaucracy had started up on the day the world was born? Even in the 1700's?

In Response to Re: Welcome to the league, Pat Chung : I'm sorry but what on EARTH are you talking about? Chung not only fits this defense, but he is pretty much a prototypical Bill Belichick defense player. Aggressive yet disciplined, VERSITILE (can play close to the line, or in deep coverage), excellent in the kicking game, good ball skills, and a good tackler. Bob Sanders plays around 4 games a year. Chung will be a stud in this defense for years. I'm sorry but your rant makes no sense.
Posted by pyegian
Posted by pyegian
I agree completely here. Chung is a Patriot true and ture. BB keeps talking about how he comes in early and stays light. He wants to be great more than anything. Players hate to practice against him like the used to hate practicing against Rodney. He was one speed and its 110 mph. (During warm up laps at training camp there were pictures of Chung sprinting the entire time.) Versitility his huge for him playing the rover position in college but I think it is important to point out that he was a 4 year starter and captain but still played special teams. He is a football player and why not let him learn from the Brandons. BTW is James Sanders suppose to be a good saftey? Where is he?

May 2, 2016
Beverage giant PepsiCo is holding its annual shareholders meeting in the coastal North Carolina city where a local druggist created its namesake soft drink more than a century ago.
The corporation's business meeting is Wednesday in New Bern. That's where local druggist Caleb Bradham invented Pepsi-Cola and named it for its ingredients of pepsin and cola nuts. Bradham lost the company in bankruptcy after World War I and its assets were bought by a Wall Street broker.
The New York-area company's meeting will see PepsiCo shareholders vote on executive compensation and the board of directors. Another vote considers whether PepsiCo should disclose where it spends millions on lobbying efforts.
Gov. Beverly Perdue's spokesman says she invited PepsiCo to her hometown during a 2009 meeting with the CEO.

DIY Idea: Industrial Clock Revamp
Posted by Erin | Filed under Design Tips, Inspiration, Musings, Solutions
File this under "I Cannot Believe I Didn't Think Of This," then promptly get to work creating a seriously genius project…
Spotted at Brigg, I'm simply amazed at how a skinny belt (from H&M, no less!) can elevate even the most basic of Ikea clocks. By drilling (or hot glue-gunning, I'm hoping?) a leather belt to the frame of a less-than-gorgeous clock, you can achieve a unique timepiece dripping with style.
So easy, right? My jaw has officially dropped!

It's In The Details: Multiple Lighting
Posted by Erin | Filed under Design Tips, Inspiration, Musings
Image via Nordic Design
Whenever I spot a design I'm head over heels for, I'll catalog the image for inspiration to reference in the future. Yet sometimes, months later, I'll find something that a few images all share in common. In this case? Multiple lighting hanging in an unexpected way.
Image via Desire to Inspire
Whether you choose to get the look with a clustered pendant or you simply DIY a version by hanging a trio of individual pendants, the design can elevate nearly any space. Bedroom, dining room or living room – you name it, the look works.

A good excuse to go big or go home, yes?

A Quietly Colorful Home
Posted by Erin | Filed under Design Tips, Favorites, House Tours, Inspiration
Some of my favorite spaces incorporate one general color scheme: neutral with a few pops of color. And rarely have I seen the look executed so flawlessly as when I stumbled upon this beautiful family-friendly home at HousetoHome. Care for a peek?:
By far, my favorite space in the home is this bright and cheery kitchen, which is perfectly balanced with white subway tile, industrial elements and vibrant pops of candy-colored hues. It screams style, but also feels lived-in, comfortable and loved. The perfect combination!
In the bedroom, a serene, neutral space is elevated with a quirky photograph and muted neon pillowcases. Proof that even minimalism can showcase a maximum amount of style!
And although I'm always a sucker for subway tile, I love how daring this bathroom looks when paired with bright pops of orange and fuzzy textures. It's fun and kid-friendly, but will be easy-to-update for years to come should the kids ever tire of the fuzzy navel phase.
So lovely, yes? What do you think of the small doses of color? Too much? Too little? Spill it below!

Lucas Maassen's Incompletely Beautiful Furniture
Posted by Erin | Filed under Inspiration, Musings
Cute alert: Lucas Maassen recently hired his children to help him paint and finish some of his furniture designs, but labor laws restrict the children from working more than three hours a week. The result? "Incompletely beautiful" and largely unfinished pieces that are as unique and custom as they are endearing.
What an adorable way to show your children the value of a dollar – and let the community benefit! Hats off to you, Lucas & sons!

Why Don't You…?

… go ahead and scribble on your dresser?
You've seen how transformative the power of paint can be on an old piece of furniture, but what about the power of the written word? Get the look by taking a Sharpie to an old standby and write your favorite song lyrics, daily affirmations or uplifting words of encouragement.
Bonus? A coat of dry erase paint allows you the freedom to write and re-write to your heart's content! Genius.

MIAMI (AP) -- A homeless man who had his face mostly chewed off in a bizarre attack is still recovering at a Miami hospital.
Ronald Poppo's doctors are scheduled to give an update on his condition Tuesday afternoon.
Poppo has been hospitalized at Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center since he was attacked May 26 alongside a busy highway. It's not clear what led Rudy Eugene to attack Poppo.
Emergency callers reported seeing a naked Eugene swinging from a light pole minutes before the attack. Surveillance video from a nearby building shows Eugene stripping Poppo and pummeling him before appearing to lie on top of him.
A police officer shot and killed Eugene. Autopsy results are still pending.

May 6, 2016
The beginning date for Florida's newly enacted minimum wage will be May 2, 2005.
Florida's minimum wage was created in a constitutional amendment approved by voters last November. It covers all employees in the state covered by the federal minimum wage.
The state minimum wage will start at $6.15 per hour for all hours worked in Florida and then be indexed to inflation each year on January 1.
For tipped employees meeting eligibility requirements for the tip credit under the law, employers may count tips actually received as wages towards satisfaction of the minimum wage, but the employer may not pay less than $3.13 per hour in direct wages.
Employees who are not paid the minimum wage after May 2 may file a lawsuit against any employer or any person violating Florida's minimum wage law.

Over the course of 18 seasons on "The Simpsons," Apu Nahasapeemapetilon's Kwik-E-Mart has doubled as a purveyor of overpriced goods, a Gas 'N' Gulp, a makeshift cryogenic chamber, a clothing-optional boutique, a meditation center and an impromptu home to actor James Woods … to name just a few.
It has not, however, ever existed in the corporeal form (though there is a chain of Kuik-E-Marts in Minnesota). That might be about to change.
According to an article published in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, a handful of 7-Elevens across the country will become actual Kwik-E-Marts — Apu not included — later this summer, in a promotional tie-in with the much-anticipated "Simpsons Movie," due in theaters July 27.
According to the article, 7-Eleven unveiled the news during a company event held last week at the Greater Richmond Convention Center. Though details remained sketchy, the chain is reportedly planning to convert 11 stores nationwide into Kwik-E's, redoing storefronts to resemble the fictional shop's famous blue, green and white exterior and stocking the shelves with products inspired by the show, including Frosted Krusty O's cereal, Buzz Cola and Squishees.
But not so fast, super-fans … because while the whole promotion does seem unbelievably cool, it's far from a done deal, according to 7-Eleven spokeswoman Margaret Chabris.
"We've been in talks with a number of studios about certain properties … and nothing is set in cement just yet," she told MTV News on Wednesday (March 28). "The reporter in that piece saw informational material developed by 7-Eleven's marketing department for our franchises. It was prepared for an internal audience, and I don't have any specifics that I can share at this time."
And she's not kidding. Chabris wouldn't confirm where or when the Kwik-E promotion will take place but did add that 7-Eleven will make an announcement about "something" within the next week.
"From what I've read in the article, it's a very cool idea," she said. "But again, I don't have any information about it that I can share right now."

Hedgehog Webcam – "Peanut"
Well you might not want to cuddle with them, but hedgehogs sure are cute! This live webcam features Peanut the Hedgehog, a resident of Tru Chance Rescue & Rehab in Maryland. Since hedgehogs are nocturnal, your best bet to see Peanut playing is to check the camera at night after around 9PM Eastern. Don't worry, though, because you'll still be able to tune in during the day to watch him catching up on his beauty rest!
Even if you don't see him live, this cam includes a great video in the lower right hand corner showing some of his activities from the previous day. It's a great way to catch up on anything you might have missed!
The name hedgehog was first used because these little pricklers loved hanging around hedges and their nose somewhat resembled a hogs.
About this Cam
This webcam is brought to you by Tru Chance Rescue & Rehab. They were founded ten years ago and are sanctioned by the Hedgehog Welfare Society as a certified rescue center! If you enjoy this cam please visit the links above and be sure to check out the hedgehog gifts page — too cute!

Dave was super accomodating after I booked a room on the WRONG NIGHT. He was a busy, but accomodating and helpful host
Beautiful location
Affordable price

Small breakfast area.
Very clean. Friendly owner.
This motel was a great value - the room was recently renovated with very comfortable bedding and was very clean. In addition, the hotel offered a breakfast voucher for a local deli.

We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
