How Much Does an Affenpinscher Cost?
The Affenpinscher is one of the many breeds of dog available for people to keep as a pet. While many dogs are bred specifically for things such as hunting, the Affenpinscher is bred to be a toy dog that is simply a companion. This particular breed of dog looks like a terrier but with some differences. They have shaggier coat over their shoulders and head that form a mane. An Affenpinscher usually weighs anywhere from 6.5 to 13.2 pounds and they only stand 9 to 12 inches, which is rather small. Affenpinscher's characteristics made them popular toy dogs as they are very confident, lively and affectionate towards the family that takes care of them. The price of this breed of dog usually depends on the age as well as the gender of the dog.
How much is it?
- On average, an Affenpinscher can cost anywhere from $400 to as much as $1,250. This particular breed is often sold by private pet owners across the country and they post ads on several different websites. The price of the dog can be different depending on how much each breeder charges for the dog. The quality of the breed also plays a factor why the price of Affenpinscher can be different.
- For example, a male or female Affenpinscher that has full AKC registration can cost anywhere from $850 to $1250. An adult that has spay or neuter contract, is over one year of age, and that is either male or female can cost $650 to $700.
- Next Day Pets often posts ads for Affenpinscher puppies from various breeders across the United States which can be purchased from $650 to $850. The puppies are usually 4 to 6 weeks old.
- Puppy Find is another online site that lists different owners selling their Affenpinscher. The puppies are usually sold for $400 to $900.
What is going to be included?
- The dog owners that sell an Affenpinscher have discretion on what they will include with the dog. It usually consists of the registration as well as shots of medicines that are necessary for puppies to avoid contracting diseases.
- If having the dog shipped through an airline, the breeder will more than likely include a travel approved carrier.
- Some breeders will include a start-up kit containing toys, samples of food, treats, and maybe even collars and leashes. This is up to the seller's discretion.
What are the extra costs?
- If you do get a dog that has not been registered yet, you will need to make sure that you have them licensed by the local government. The price of this depends on the city in which you live.
- Additional fees will accrue in the future such as vet visits, medicines, dog food and start up accessories such as dog toys, shelter and more. Most people spend approximately $30-$50 per month on a pet dog.
How can I save money?
- Always check for prices from different sellers as there will be some that will sell them at a lower price compared to others.
- Try to adopt a pet and this will not only help you save money, but it will also help countless numbers of animals being abandoned. Keep in mind that most of these animals will be between the age of two to five, or possibly even older.

The Case for Allowing Jurors to Submit Written Questions
Lucci, Eugene A., Judicature
Juror questioning of witnesses is neither a new nor an innovative concept in the common law and American jurisprudence.1 Jurors have questioned witnesses in England since the eighteenth century, and the practice has existed in America since 1825.2
At common law, those charged with capital crimes were not afforded counsel unless lesfal issues needed debating. The judge and jury were authorized to ask questions. With the lack of counsel and few procedural and evidentiary rules, criminal trials were solely in the hands of judges. As the English court system evolved, more emphasis was placed on fair procedure. Defense counsel played an increasing role, while the role of jurors as active participants diminished. The emphasis on the quality of evidence, shaped by examination by counsel, relegated the juror to the role of passive, neutral observer.3
The practice of juror questioning of witnesses in federal courts dates back as far as 1954.4 By allowing juror questioning, courts sought to promote clarification of facts and the discovery of truth. At least 30 states and the District of Columbia permit jurors to question witnesses. A few states prohibit the practice.5 Every federal circuit that has addressed the issue of juror questioning of witnesses agrees that it is a practice that should be left entirely within the court's discretion.6 In most military hearings, members of court-martial panels have the opportunity to question witnesses.7
The first American court to address the validity of jury questioning of witnesses, in 1895, asserted that the practice was not prejudicial to either party in the suit and emphasized that it was a commendable practice since it helped the jury to "properly determine the case before them."8
Originally, juror questioning was known as "juror outbursts," which gives some idea as to the formality of the procedure. If a juror had a question, the juror would simply blurt it out in open court. During the 1950s and 1960s, courts began establishing more formal procedures. The earliest case in which a court created formal procedures for juror questioning was decided in 1926.9
Controlling the process
Certain procedural safeguards can reduce or eliminate the risks of jury questioning of witnesses. The demeanor of the judge and how the judge addresses the issue make the difference. The judge decides whether a witness should be asked questions posed by jurors. This applies to both civil and criminal cases. The judge should give preliminary limiting instructions about the procedure being available, what questions will be allowed, and the technical rules involved. He or she should explain that questions are not encouraged but are to be sparingly used. Jurors should be told that they are not advocates, and must remain neutral. They should also be told that they are not to draw any inference if their question is not asked, because the rules of evidence and rulings by the judge in the case will limit even the parties' questioning, and that they are not to reveal any unasked question to the other jurors.
Jurors should be told that the judge is the "gatekeeper" and determines which questions will be asked, and in what format. Juror questions should be limited to matters attested to during direct and cross-examination, and to clarifying information already presented. The questions should be of the type that a factfinder, and not an advocate, would ask. They should be factual, not argumentative. Questions should not be asked to express views on the case or to argue with a witness. The juror questions should come only after the witness is finished testifying, but before that witness leaves the stand.
Questions should be in writing, collected by the bailiff and submitted directly to thejudge, and never to the witness. Questions should not be discussed with the other jurors and should not be signed. The parties should be given the opportunity to object to the questions, outside the hearing of the jurors, and the questions should be made a part of the record. …

BYOD: Resistance is futile
Sebastian Taylor 270006D5FS email@example.com | | Tags:  flexible-workplace bring-your-own-device ibmmobile sebastian-taylor byod ibm sme workplace

Be warned! Aliens are invading corporations. Small screens that barely fit your palms are taking over the lives of employees and decision makers. And corporates fear them as competitive information leaks, productivity drainers, or liabilities that allow vital information to be procured when misplaced or stolen.
Proponents of the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) beg to differ. And there are immense merits to their argument. Here's one: The Good Technology State of BYOD report states that half of the companies surveyed employ BYOD models that require employees to cover all costs; and employees are happy to do exactly that. That's big savings in today's lean times.
Employee satisfaction is another intangible benefit. You are empowering them to use devices that they already love and invested in. Besides, having a BYOD policy can also be a huge turn on for mobile-savvy next-gen employees.
Not convinced? Here's two more: Mobile devices tout the latest technologies as a selling point, and companies can utilize them through their employees with minimal investment. Another, users tend to buy the latest or fanatically keep their own devices updated. This means less time wasted in enforcing upgrade policies.
But wait! Before you jump on the BYOD bandwagon consider two issues that many often fatally ignore. First, BYOD is not all about hardware. We need to look at the human side of the equation. A holistic approach rather than one driven solely by the IT department can be more successful and receive less resistance.
Second, don't attempt to build your entire BYOD business case solely on cost efficiency. Yes, it can lower your bottom lines but it is not without initial costs such as investing in WiFi connectivity, licensing and security measures. Thorough research is in order before implementing BYOD policies.
Admittedly, some areas like in a top secret military compound or inside a nuclear plant may never be ready for mobile devices. But resisting this trend is not the way forward. It is time to embrace it and prepare for the BYOD tsunami. Remember, it was a similar argument put forth when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.

text: Well that's not an easy or recommended way because it's kind of difficult AND it depends on what kind of rose your friend has. If it's a floribunda, hybrid tea, or grandiflora it's probably a grafted rose and these cannot be grown successfully from a transplant because they need to be grafted on a wild root stalk. If it's an older rose you can try taking cuttings about 6 inches long, strip off the lower leaves, dip in rooting power (available at garden centers), and then plunge the cutting into a sterile medium such as perlite or vermiculite. Keep them in a bright spot, but out of direct sun and tent them with some plastic wrap to maintain soil moisture till they root. Then, you can move them to individual pots and grow them till large enough for the garden. OR, you can find out what kind of rose your friend has and just buy a new one that will bloom the first year for you without the hassle."

What is exactly the difference between the "old" Managed C++ and the "new" C++/CLI?
Managed C++ is the version in VS2002 and VS2003. It had race conditions and other serious bugs, as well as being confusing. It's no longer supported.
In VS2005, Microsoft introduced C++/CLI, which has also been accepted as an ISO standard. It's also supported in VS2008 and the upcoming VS2010.
Both of them had the same goal, which is to create .NET assemblies using the C++ language. The syntax is different (C++/CLI managed code is a lot easier to differentiate from standard C++ at a glance) and C++/CLI also has syntax for .NET 2.0 features such as generics.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235298.aspx gives a rough overview of the syntax changes.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — When the tiny desert nation of Qatar was chosen to host the latest round of United Nations climate change negotiations, environmentalists were stunned.
Talks were already in trouble, and now the high-level discussions were moving to a member of OPEC that had shown little interest in climate change and appointed a former oil minister to lead the negotiations, which start Monday. The country's economic boom, driven by vast oil and gas reserves, has led to free electricity for citizens and an abundance of gas-guzzling SUVs in the capital, Doha. It also has made Qatar the world's highest per capita carbon dioxide emitter.
"Nongovernment organizations had mixed feelings about it," said Wael Hmaidan, a Lebanese activist who is director of the Climate Action Network. "Some were very concerned and found it a threat knowing that Qatar has not been engaged in the climate change negotiations, while others found it an opportunity to get the climate debate higher on the political agenda of the region."
Activists complain Qatar has shown little leadership so far and been much less transparent than previous hosts of the annual climate conference.
Among the most vocal has been advocacy group Avaaz, which asserts that "having one of the OPEC leaders in charge of climate talks is like asking Dracula to look after a blood bank." It also criticized Qatari leaders for attending a big oil conference just ahead of the talks, a sign its priorities may misplaced.
But publicly, delegates have been careful to avoid criticizing the emirate. The top United Nations climate official said preparations are on track.
"I'm not concerned," said Christiana Figueres, the executive secretary of the United Nations Climate Change secretariat. "We are very grateful. Qatar not only offered, but literally fought for the opportunity and privilege of hosting."
Hosting the conference is part of the tiny Gulf nation's campaign to project itself as a powerhouse on the world stage, after winning the bid to host the 2022 World Cup and backing rebellions in Libya and Syria.
It also offers the ruling family an opportunity to change perceptions about a region that in the past has seemed concerned only with protecting its vast oil and gas reserves from the impact of any climate agreement.
Qatar and its Persian Gulf neighbors insist that portrayal is outdated.
The United Arab Emirates has, for example, endorsed the extension of the Kyoto Protocol, which limits the greenhouse emissions of industrialized countries. It was also the first Gulf nation to sign on to the Copenhagen Accord supporting a long-term deal to reign in emissions.
Even Saudi Arabia, which in the past led opposition to a global agreement capping greenhouse gas emissions, has moderated its position and shaken up its negotiating team.
Leaders in the Gulf also are more vocally acknowledging the impact of climate change, endorsing the science that shows emissions are on rise and recognizing they are not immune to the impact of global warming. They also are promising to do their part to combat it.
Activists, though, want to see Gulf countries go further at the climate talks.
Former Irish President Mary Robinson said they should commit to voluntary emissions targets, like former conference host Mexico did. Gulf nations' total emissions are a fraction of China's and the United States', but setting targets would help inspire others to take action.
"Leadership of the Gulf countries is very important" she said at a meeting addressing climate change in Dubai.

I feel bad for all that have been abused. It is depressing but very real. True forgiveness and repentance are the only things that will get a victim or abuser back to a healthy lifestyle. Sue, I imagine you are single still because of the trauma you received by this experience.

I just have so much respect for those of you who have shared your stories. I, too, am an adult survivor of childhood sex abuse. My story may seem unbelievable, but it's unfortunately true. Just like Anonymous 2, I don't want pity and I don't want you to be afraid. I was abused by BOTH my natural mother AND father. I have been in recovery for almost 15 years. It's been a huge trial for me, but not my only trial. Not knowing any better, I married a controlling, cruel and abusive man. I then became a mother to many children in quick succession. With children and no where to run, my situation became unbearable. I have suffered from debilitating depression, anger, and panic attacks/anxiety. I know it's hard to believe, but abuse is not a death sentence. I used to dream of having my own headstone and resting peacefully six feet under every time I'd passed a cemetary. But I've hung in there; it's a long fight and it's not over yet. God will place the right people and the right things in your path and He will heal you. It just takes patience and faith.

Most of the abused will not want to read this article or respond. They just wish they could forget and move on. The dynamics involved when it is in family are just too much. Sue..Go ahead and yell...You had something important to say, which is that it is not something a person just "gets over". If you feel the need to type in capitals then you go girl..You stand up and speak! Speak your mind and take control...And never ever let anybody hush you into silence or cause shame, because you have something which needs to be heard.For years I slept with a knife under my mattress...hoping I could pull it out and use it during one of the middle of the night, mouth clamped horrific events..To this day, I wish I had...I know I could have saved others from my same fate..In some of our opinions...no punishment is too harsh. Forgive? Maybe some day..Forget?,,,We only wish we could.

One thing nobody seems to get, is that child molesters choose their quarry
carefully. We must make sure we and our children do not have an invisible
"victim" sign over our heads. The sex criminals can perceive this weakness.
Sexual predators are liars, they lie to themselves, their victims and society. I don't believe they ever truly change, even with prison programs. It's just a matter of time before they re-offend.
Some time ago many women wore buttons that proclaimed "Disarm the Rapist" nice thought, but rape and other sexually based crimes are not about sex. They are about power and a sexual organ was used as the weapon.

If anyone who questioned the connection between divorce and sexual abuse is
still paying attention, Google "divorce abuse stepfathers rate" and you'll find
a wealth of information on the subject.
In fact, the first document that comes up cites research that finds young girls are anywhere from 6 to 40 times more likely to be abused by their stepfathers than by their biological fathers.

Re: Depressing..
I am a survivor who does not wish to remain so. Still, Depressing's comments smack of so many I have heard and I find them unhelpful. I chose to honor my body and spirit's need to recover. It is my abuser's and his family's wish that I "get over it". The unspoken here, is that I should get over it on 'their time schedule' and in their way (therapy). I know for a fact that therapy is NOT what I need. I have chosen with my societal conscience to allow my need for kindness from him and his family to be the thing that heals my own wound, and in doing, to heal his and theirs also. It is an unpopular way, true, and very misunderstood, but it IS the thing that I need and no doubt will create good in their lives also, in the long term. It is my belief also that it may be the kind of thing that safeguards other possible victims. It is risky I think, to not honor the victims need to heal however they need as long as it doesn't continue or repeat the cycle.

I feel bad... I haven't taken pictures of my own (no camera) for more than 4 months so I'm making up for that now. Wanna see them? Well - yes or no I'm sharing! - With captions...
Tried to get a shot of her eating her foot. She likes to put both big toes and one thumb in her mouth when she's getting sleepy. When she's upset (aka when she's tired OR she's getting hungry OR her mouth hurts) she sticks half of her foot into her mouth and chomps while fussing.
The following three are results of my dad's photo taking. It feels like whenever he takes a pic she manages to make a weird face in it. :) She's trying out her chair for the first time.
The first one makes her look drunk - I used it for my avvie if you can't tell :P
I don't know what this one is... but it's a great face!
Deer caught in headlights! She does this anytime my dad tries to pose her and leaves the camrea up for a long time trying to get the 'perfect' shot.
Numa Numa face! One of the first times she fully enjoyed her bath.
The following I took yesterday. She sat up all by herself for the FIRST time! She wanted to play with this toy that's already driving me insane because it's loud and obnoxious. It wouldn't be so annoying but it talks instead of just making noise.
'Honk Honk - get out of my way!' that's actually what it says and it looks like what she's doing.
Here she randomly decided to watch TV while playing.
Then a pic when I was trying to get a good one of her useing her feet to play but she just wanted to be cute.

Does anyone have experience with this? My OB sent me to a perinatologist because my girls had a weight difference. It took me 3 weeks to get an appointment. Today I went and had an ultrasound that lasted over an hour. Baby A weighs 2.2 lbs and Baby B only weighs 1.9 lbs. I guess that sounded alarms. The doctor sat me down afterwards to tell me that Baby B had what's called Velamentous Insertion of the Cord. Has anyone else experienced this? Apparently, this can turn in vasa previa if Baby B's placenta nears my cervix and even death for Baby B. Luckily, she is transverse on top of Baby A right now. I go back in 3 weeks to get it checked out again. He told me at that point they will decide when to deliver me. I'll only be 30 weeks then. I'm terrified. If one of the vessels ruptures in utero, I will lose her. The next 3 weeks are going to make me crazy.
VCI - does anyone know about this?
Twin girls due 10/12/09

Agree with all on here, I would say the toaster is dangerous as it never flips the toast out so you are always using something to get toast out, toasters I have had in past would shoot the bread up to the ceiling not this one utter rubbish. The lady that said that she thought that some of the reviews were a little hard on item will find out later. The kettle great for the first couple of months the it started leaking at the base of the kettle again another dangerous item. overall total rubbish do not buy any of there range you will regret. Russell Hobbs needs to take notice of reviews or close there doors and pack up trading.

Starve a terrorist - ride a bike to work. It's not just good for the environment, it's good for civilization.
My new blog is No Pinch Flats.
DG is correct. Although I'm new here, I think that a forum that allow non-biking discussions by 50+ is appropriate and a good thing. I read the Road Biking forum and it's full of hammerheads and macho men, which is good, but it's not (necessarily) us.
While I personally would like to see more actual bike conversation I can't help but wonder just what is the 50+ forum? There is nothing in Fifty Plus (50+) Forum title that even suggests bicycle. If a mindless, no topic restriction sub forum, aka Foo can exist within the great Bikeforums.net. Then why not a mindless, no topic restriction sub forum for old farts, aka middle of the roaders, aka seniors. Certainly there would be a need to separate young bikers who know it all and older bikers who probably forgot more then the young bikers think they know. To put it another way, the dribble in Foo is just, well, dribble. The dribble in 50+ is usually of some interest as it is age related. As to more bike related, I do cruise thru Road Riding and Mechanics sub forums, and sadly I must check into the Clydedales.
BierHaus Bertolette Road Bike, built 2007
BierHaus SRT Trail Bike, built 2010
Fuji Mt. Pro - 2007
Sorry to disagree with some of you folks with whom I so enjoy joking around and discussing serious-ish cycling topics. I think that some of the completely non-bicycling topics, like choosing a television or getting a colonoscopy or a divorce (same thing?) probably belong somewhere else. I do think we should be given a very loose reign about topics, but there should be some standards. I think a subforum for non-cycling discussions within 50+ could be a good idea. Something like the road bike racing subforum on the road bike forum. The atmosphere in Foo is a lot more in-your-face than in 50+ and I wouldn't want to lose the ability to communicate in a more civil manner with this great group of people about a wide range of topics. I would especially have a problem with some of the discussions on 50+ being suddenly exposed to such an harsh environment. But at the same time I think we sometimes get too far off, too often and it interferes with the on topic discussions.
The more you ride your bike, the less your ass will hurt.
I come here because I can discuss stuff with people my age group. If I wanted to discuss stuff with kids, I would. While I haven't had a post moved, I'd be bloody annoyed if it was, because I'm not after the perspective of much younger people, I'm after the perspective of people who've learned to slow down and think about things a bit more. Nor do I like the aggressive attitude of lot of posters in other forums.
Methinks the solution is a couple of moderators in this forum, who are of the 'right age', and all other mods being told to keep out unless it's something awful (spam, sex, the horrid stuff). But pure house keeping, such as moving threads around, should not be done by people who aren't directly involved with this forum.

maybe it's time to ban the entire 50+ geezer forum...buy your own servers and start your own site then you can whine in peace. By the way, whoever is in charge of the rogue's gallery...delete my entry please..I don't wish to be associated with this group any more.
My primary use of the other forums is to search out information on equipment. That has been quite useful.
If a thread I started, or participated in, was moved to another forum, then as far as I'm concerned, that thread is dead to me, as I'm not going to follow it there.
"Too often I would hear men boast of the miles covered that day, rarely of what they had seen." Louis L'Amour
There are two types of road bikers: bikers who are faster than me, and me. Bruce Cameron - Denver Post
The whole point of a 50+ bike forum is to acknowledge that cyclists over 50 have a different attitude...and part of our attitude is not being limited to cycling. So the occasional OT thread that relates to the regular posters, or any posters for that matter, shouldn't be any problem unless there are complaints...and more than just one or two from chronic complainers.
Anyone who doesn't like it -- and sometimes that includes me -- is free to leave and find something more to their liking in these or other bike forum pages. I always come back because this is the best balance between serious cycling, recreational cycling, and over-50, general interest B.S.
The Foo-transfers are ridiclulous, if for no other reason than the under-50 crowd will see where they're headed in future decades, and a good many of them may wilt in the face of the horror that awaits them. I mean, if I was 25 and knew that I would someday find someone like DG interesting and provocative (in the platonic, non-sexual sense) I might do the Dutch myself.

De we need more rules and less fun? Do we need less cheering of a grandchild's achievment and less sympathy when someone's kid gets hit by a car, or about someone's health or personal issues? I'm stunned at the response by many here, especially by those who start and actively particpate in the very threads they now seem to oppose.

"Light it up, Popo." --Levi Leipheimer
I've been really fascinated by this discussion.
It started out with me being surprised that those 2 threads were moved to foo. I guess I've see that happen before with threads that got out of hand or were terribly silly, but those threads always seemed to feature girly photos... which I would have been just as happy to see deleted.
So, I wondered, "why these two threads?" I didn't want to make the same mistake myself, you see. The randomness of it was unnerving. Many threads go OT, and remain here.
Posts just don't seem to be moved much, and on other forums, the reaction to a moderator moving posts would have been a respectful silence: mods can do what they want... we're guests here. The official rule is that all OT posts are in Foo.
So why is this forum so different? Why is there such a heated debate instead of shrugging this off as a minor thing?
I think the main reason is that the mods have* let us form a culture that we're all the most comfortable with. We like playfulness, we like seriousness, we like relationships. 50+ means we know that life is not a compartmentalized and sterile thing. I think we're disturbed because the reasons for the moves were not explained. Maybe DG and SKT know, but we don't. We know they were OT, but why these 2 threads?
Second, we are of the generation which is rebelliious. We are no strangers to discussing topics like free speech and the rights of individuals. Our natural inclination when faced with censorship is to organize and try to change things. Not that we are all old hippies... but even those of use with a more conservative youth aren't really accepting of the answer "just because".
Third, we're baby boomers, and we're used to using our collective mass to mold the environment to our liking. Our first thoughts are, "what can we do to make our opinions heard, hopefully to bring change?"
Fourth, did I mention that a lot of us have a rebellious side? Part of that comes with age, too. 50+ means we know who we are and what we like--and if we like what we have, we don't want it messed with. But the truth is, Foo was set up just for what we're talking about. We just don't use it because we don't want to sit with younger grades in the lunch room. We may feel strongly about that, but that doesn't mean every other table doesn't feel the same way!
The more I think about this issue, the more I think it's a small thing. They're not moving a lot of the posts here. If they do, it would be worth getting them to define their expectations a bit better because they're not consistent. But as it stands, in my opinion, it's just a random occurrence. If DG and SKT want the threads deleted, I'm sure the mods would do it. I hope the mods give future OPs a choice in the matter. So I vote for dropping it, and seeing if it develops into a problem. If it does, then petitions and letters might be a good step.

From a tactical discussion of a couple of very, very simple things one might include in their post title to help avoid their post being moved to Foo, this discussion has ranged far away from that into a very different discussion!!
I am amazed.
We have had one person quit the forum, demanding to have their picture removed from the gallery; others who have chastised the 50+ group for even desiring to be a discrete forum; folks defending the status quo and on and on. We have even had a separate poll on the subject!
I guess, somehow my suggested simple techniques must have hit home, but I am not sure just how. I originally expected my first post to get maybe one or two responses, and then just die out, people either accepting or rejecting what I offered.
And I don't quite know what happened!
But it sure did.

As to those who are worried about where their posts end up, consider the following. Anytime you send something into cyberspace you must realize that it is now open to the entire world. Perphaps one of the hardest things for me to remember is that once I hit the key that sends information into cyberspace, I no longer have control over it. As someone who has always had a hard time censoring myself, this continues to be a real concern for me. I often "say" something that in hindsight I wish I had not.
Finally, it seems that every several months we work our way through some sort of issue (e.g., most recent prior to this was the Diego thing). I can't help but wonder if this is some sort of natural self-regulating process beyond our control.
Oh I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted, you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes. But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain, that's when I knew that I could not refuse. And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
To me, the 50+ forum is a COMMUNITY of 50+'ers who cycle, discuss cycling AND OTHER issues. Don't see any need to change it. If a thread isn't cycling related, just go to the next one that interests you. Don't change our 50+ COMMUNITY! There are plenty of other forums if we wanted to post strictly cycling related threads. Nothing wrong with this forum in it's present state.
I straddle both sides of the fence on this. I come here to read about biking with our age group, what especially interests me are the accomplishments of the group here. Whether it be a 5 miler by a new biker or one of JPPE's epic rides, it is what inspires me. And if there's a topic that deals with hot feet or how someone has foiled some young ruffians from stealing his bike, great. What I don't like seeing here (and no offense to anyone) are posts like I want to buy a new TV or the Diegos (again), etc. If I were a moderator would I move these? Most likely no, but I would set up a sub-forum where these discussion could take place. While they aren't my cup of tea, I see a valid reason for them and the perspective of this group is so much deeper than you'll find elsewhere.
In the meantime I just skip the posts that don't interest me and go on my merry way.
On a serious note, is this just about the divorce thread, or was there something more? Because we've been through stuff like this before with other groups on the forums. Y'all get to be such a tight little group that you want all threads, no matter the topic, to stay here in your little corner of the internet. If that's what you're after, let me know and we'll work something out.
Although I'm under 40, I can still be seen sporting a Johnny Cash t-shirt when the missus and I tour on our Goldwing. And (if we're lucky) the nest will finally be empty in just 3 more years. So draw the line at 50 if you want, but some things that you folks discuss apply to a somewhat younger crowd as well.
One thing I've noticed about posting in "more appropriate" forums is that, at least half the time, I get flamed for either being so old or being so stupid. Being old and stupid is a given in here, so I can function without too much self-awareness.
Well, I'm sure they're nice people over at Foo, and I'm sure I'd recognize some, but I'm not going to talk about an ingrown hair on my bottom with complete strangers!!!! At least, unless I was desperate!
At the other forums I feel like I need to put my age and riding status in big bold text to emphasize it so they won't assume I'm a young roadie. And here, I don't feel like I'll be laughed out of town when I mention my hybrid...

Two Bartholomew County Clerk's office employees are seeking the Republican nomination to replace Tami Hines.
Karen Aud is the chief deputy in the county clerk's office.
Jay Phelps is the supervisor of the county's voter registration and elections office, a department within the county clerk's office.
Aud began working for the county 11 years ago in the Community Corrections Department. In 2008, she was chosen as chief deputy when Hines took office and has served in that capacity since.
Aud said she has developed a deep passion for the work of the clerk's office and her individual skills of leadership, accurate accounting and customer service have prepared her to serve in that role.
"As chief deputy for the past six years, I have assisted the clerk in the operations of all departments and functions of the office," Aud said. "I have prepared all our department budgets and claims with an annual total of nearly $1 million. I have supported the clerk with management of a staff of 15."
Phelps started working in the Voter Registration and Elections office three years ago. Prior to that, he interned at Cummins Inc. in the human resources department, and in the Indiana House Republican Caucus at the Statehouse.
Phelps said he wants to be county clerk to utilize his passion, energy and experience to serve the citizens and taxpayers of Bartholomew County with the utmost integrity.
"The combination of my personal, educational, and professional experience qualifies me to be county clerk," Phelps said. "Most people don't realize the diversity of items in which our clerk's office serves our community. I will use my hard-work ethic and helpful attitude to make our clerk's office the best in the state of Indiana."
Hines is limited to two terms and will leave office in January. Her first term in office was three years instead of four, due to a change in the county's holdover system for the office. The county clerk began serving four-year terms after the 2010 general election.

My company has a small product that does mass mailing, kind of like Constant Contact. It was web based and the user would enter their html email through a WYSIWYG editor. We wanted them to be able to enter dynamic values so we had to create a tokening system. I created a whole token parsing library using regular expressions. Difficult and challenging but really fun. I was careful to declare all my magic regex as constants and used that through out the code. Made it extremely easy to maintain and update. I think parsing through html has to be the worst, especially when html can be inside the matches you're looking for.

Police say the victim's husband, Mark, and Rose Vincent were romantically linked. The prosecutor has previously said he plans to seek the death penalty for Mark Bowling too, who is also charged with murder in his wife's death.

There are widely conflicting stories about Monday's police shooting of a yellow Labrador.
Denver police say someone flagged down Officer Michael Felsoci's a patrol car early Monday afternoon to report a vicious dog running through the grounds of Horace Mann School near West 42nd Avenue and Lipan Street.
Without releasing any details or an incident report, police spokeswoman Sharon Hahn would say only that the officer found the dog, that the dog attempted to attack the officer and that the officer shot it twice, killing it.
Originally, police said they had received three phone calls complaining about the dog.
Hahn said the police report filed in the incident wasn't available over the weekend.
Neighbor Seferino Quintana said the dog never attacked the officer. He said the dog was running away from the officer when he shot it from about 15 feet away.
"It was bad. That dog shouldn't have been shot," said Quintana, 68, a retired equipment operator at Denver International Airport who has lived in the neighborhood for about 40 years.
"There were two dogs playing together, running across the park from the school."
Quintana said the dog was shot on the grassy area along West 40th Avenue, two blocks from the school, which was in session at the time.
"It was right next to a house where a lot of kids live. The dog just died."
The police dispatch log shows "Officer shot vicious dog" at 3:41 p.m. Monday.
Five minutes later an entry reads "animal control officer en route" to where the dog died.
At 3:53, an entry reads "animal control was aware of this vicious dog before I called animal control at approx. 15:36 (3:36 p.m.) hours."
Doug Kelly, director of Denver Animal Care and Control, said his office received a call that had been transferred at 3:34 p.m. and dispatched an animal officer.
He said normally "if a dog is aggressive or vicious, our officer will try to get a hold of the dog" using a capture pole — a pole up to 6 feet long with a rope loop on the end, which is placed around the dog's neck. He said animal-control officers are not armed and do not shoot animals.
"The capture pole is the best tool to protect the officers," he said.
Katrina Mudgett, owner of the dead dog — a 110-pound, 3-year-old retriever named Rocky — said it had never been in trouble before and lived with her daughter, Zowie, 5.
"I don't want the officer who shot him to lose his job," she said. "But I want the city to change the way it handles loose dogs."

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
