For one rescued Korean "meat dog," a good night's sleep comes at last
The 200 dogs freed in the latest closure of a Korean dog farm continue to arrive in the U.S. — and for one of them, it has meant learning a new way of sleeping.
Harriet is one of more than a dozen dogs brought to the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, where the staff quickly noticed she never laid down — not even to sleep.
Apparently, having spent her life in a cage too small to lay down in, she'd learned and grown accustomed to sleeping in a sitting position.
"Harriet had no idea what a bed was," Sherry Silk, CEO of the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, told WFLA.
Harriet was one of about two dozen dogs to arrive in Florida from Korea recently. In the weeks and months ahead, more will be arriving in other cities in the U.S., Canada and the U.K.
They're coming from the sixth farm that Humane Society International has closed by cutting deals with their operators to release the dogs and find other occupations.
The dogs — raised, like livestock, to be slaughtered for their meat — are being relocated to other countries for adoption in part because there is little interest in them in Korea, where many prefer small dogs and have the misconception that "meat dogs" don't make good pets.
Additionally, HSI hopes the program will raise awareness about the dog meat trade and increase pressure on Korea to ban it.
The dogs most recently shipped will likely be up for adoption in the next few weeks.
About a week ago, after 14 of them arrived in Orlando, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay posted a video on its Facebook page of Harriet falling asleep while in the sitting position, which they theorized was because she'd never had the space to lay down.
They've also learned that one of the Korean arrivals is pregnant.
Staff worked to show Harriet how to get in a laying down position, and she now regularly curls up on her bed.

Off the menu and into your hearts: 31 Korean farm dogs come to NC for adoption
(Second of two parts)
Their eyes said yes, their feet said no.
All four of the dogs at the Watauga Humane Society — each being held in individual quarantined kennels after their trip from Korea — initially reacted the same when I stepped inside.
They'd take one step forward, their bright eyes shining with what seemed to be excitement, anticipation or maybe curiosity; then they'd take three steps back.
It was understandable. They'd come from a farm in South Korea — one of more than 1,000 such farms there where dogs are raised as livestock and sold as meat, where they're often mistreated and neglected and have little human contact.
In the weeks since they were rescued from a farm in Jongju, quarantined and, along with 27 others, shipped to the U.S., the four dogs have grown a little more sociable by the day.
Yet clearly, they were still torn between the fear they had learned from experience and that innate something — call it resilience, goodness of spirit, or that seemingly limitless and often unexplainable love for our species — that all dogs are born with.
With dogs, that innate something, given a chance, almost always wins out.
That has been the case with rescued fighting dogs, puppy mill dogs, and those raised as meat. They're willing, despite whatever mistreatment they endured at our hands, to give our species a second chance.
We sometimes return the favor.
Since the beginning of 2015, Humane Society International has worked with Korean animal activists to remove 525 dogs from Korean dog farms and ship them to the U.S. and Canada to find new homes as pets.
The organization works to persuade dog farmers to forfeit their canine livestock and move on to new careers, often providing financial incentives for them to do so.
The latest shipment was a smaller one — 31 dogs from Jonju, and they've been distributed among five different North Carolina humane societies and shelters that serve as emergency placement partners for HSI and HSUS.
All four of the dogs who came to Watauga Humane Society were Jindos, a breed known for their loyalty that originated on the island of Jindo, off the southern coast of South Korea.
The breed has been designated by the Korean government as a national treasure.
Yet they — especially the white and yellow ones — are commonly seen in cages at outdoor meat markets, waiting to be sold, slaughtered and butchered.
At the farms, the dogs spend most of their lives in cages, treated like livestock, at best — and sometimes worse than that.
How does a dog raised in those conditions go on to be a family pet?
In small and hesitant steps, not overnight, and not without some work and patience.
But the proven fact is, they do.
That has been the case with the the four previous batches of farm dogs who have been rescued from Korea and gone on to find adoptive homes in the U.S. and Canada.
"I can give you hundreds of stories of wonderful adoptions that have taken place with them," said Kelly O'Meara, director of companion animals and engagement for HSI.
The four Korean dogs that came to the Watauga Humane Society had been there three days when I visited. In the quarantine area, I walked into each of their kennels and took a seat on the floor.
One sat in the outside section of his kennel and — no matter how much I gently coaxed — would take more than a step or two inside.
Another trembled in the corner, venturing a little closer after 10 minutes passed, but only close enough for a quick sniff.
One came within a few feet of me and retreated, before lingering long enough to allow herself to be petted.
The fourth would come close, then fall back, finally coming close enough to sniff my hand, and allow it to pet him. He decided he liked it.
"Every day gets a little better," said the HSI's O'Meara. "You'll hear from the shelters, 'He gets closer, he sniffed me today.' It's a big deal for a dog that wouldn't come within five feet, and now its coming up and licking your hands.
"Some take months but they do get there and when they do, they're wonderful companion dogs," she added.
The four are expected to get out of quarantine next week. Then they'll be taken to Asheville to be spayed and neutered. Depending on how the dogs react to that, the Watauga Humane Society could start taking applications from people interested in adopting them the last week in October.
Details will be announced on their Facebook page.
At the Cashiers Highlands Humane Society, applications are already being taken for the 11 Korean dogs they took in, though the dogs won't be able to be taken home until after Nov. 7 when they are spayed or neutered.
Other dogs that were rescued from the farm in Jonju — an illegal one because the farmer didn't own the land he was using — are at Paws of Bryson City, Moore Humane Society in Carthage, and Outer Banks SPCA in Manteo
Laurie Vierheller, executive director of the Watauga Humane Society, said helping the dogs find a home is rewarding in itself, but the benefits to a shelter go beyond that.
Taking in the dogs strikes a chord with the dog-loving community members whose contributions keep local humane societies afloat. It brings traffic to a shelter, and often those who come to see the dogs rescued in a high-profile case end up going home with one, or adopting another resident of the shelter.
The HSI's O'Meara says some shelters and humane societies avoid getting involved as emergency placement partners because they want to focus on finding homes for local dogs in need.
But those who do take part, she said, have noted "a spike in adoptions, for all dogs, when they receive these dogs…One shelter, within two weeks of the dogs arriving, every dog in facility was adopted out."
"It highlights the work they do in their communities. These homeless animals come with an incredible story. That brings in traffic, and brings in people who would provide wonderful homes."

Chicago dog owners warned to not let their dogs socialize with other dogs
Dog owners in Chicago are being warned to keep their pets away from the city's dog-friendly parks and beaches to help control the spread of the dog flu, which has killed five dogs in the area and sickened more than 1,000 more.
On Friday, the Cook County Department of Animal and Rabies Control urged pet owners to avoid not just dog parks, but group training activities, doggy day care, groomers, boarding facilities and other environments where dogs congregate or socialize until the outbreak — or epidemic, as some are calling it — subsides.
Signs posted at dog-friendly parks and beaches read:
"The Canine Influenza Virus (the Dog Flu) is causing illness throughout the Chicago area. All unvaccinated dogs may be at risk. Even dogs showing no sign of illness may carry this virus.
"The virus is extremely contagious. Unvaccinated dogs exposed to the Dog Flu are more likely to contract the disease."
The signs go on to list the symptoms of the dog flu: coughing, lethargy, difficulty breathing, nasal discharge and lack of appetite.
While people can't catch it from dogs, the dog flu is is extremely contagious between dogs that come into close contact with each other.
Forty states have experienced outbreaks of the dog flu since the virus was discovered in 2004.
Experts say nearly every dog exposed to it will get the virus. About 25 percent of those don't show signs of the sickness, but can still pass it on to other dogs.
Limiting socialization with other dogs is the best way to fight the illness, said Dr. Cynda Crawford, who helped discover the virus in 2005.
Crawford, with the Maddie's Shelter Medicine Program at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine, told Steve Dale's Pet World, a blog on ChicagoNow.com, that owners often aren't aware their dogs are ill.
She advises limiting all socialization, including letting your dog be walked by a dog walker who takes dogs out in groups.
While there is a vaccine for dog flu, it is new, expensive, requires multiple shots and, as with the human vaccine, fails to guarantee a dog won't catch the virus.
Chicago animal control officials said the outbreak could last several more weeks.

Getting to (sniff, sniff) know you
Humans need a play stance.
I came to this conclusion yesterday — adding yet another item to the list of things dogs do better than us — as Ace and I arrived for the first time at the only dog park in Winston-Salem proper (and Winston-Salem is pretty proper).
Being new and mostly friendless in the town in which we've decided to temporarily base ourselves, we left our quarters in the basement of a mansion and, for a little socialization, headed a couple miles down the road to Washington Park, where dogs can run and play in a fenced-in area.
Of course, Ace hardly romped at all. It being a new scene for him, his first priority was to give all things a good sniffing – other dogs included. But, on this day, he was more the sniffee than the sniffer.
The second I closed the gate behind us, five other dogs — realizing there was a new face — bounded over for a whiff, following so close behind his rear end that, when he stopped abruptly … well you know the rest.
Butts aside, it's an intriguing thing to watch, this seeming welcome, and one I noticed often back at Ace's old park in Baltimore. When a first-timer arrives, all the other dogs come over to give the new guy a sniff. To view that as an act of kindness is, of course, anthropomorphic. But still it's kind of sweet.
This weekend, Ace — though he was used to being the dean of his old park — was the new kid on the block.
He courteously sniffed those who sniffed him, but was more interested in checking out the space, the water bowl and the humans than in playing with the other dogs. We'd been there a full hour before he even chased another dog — all of whom were playing energetically with each other.
Dee Dee, a beagle, and Bailey, a whippet mix, (both pictured atop this post) had great play stances and used them often: Butts pointed skyward, front legs stretched all the way out, heads lowered. It, in the canine world, is a universal signal, a way of saying "You don't need to be afraid of me, this is all in good fun, it's playtime, let's go."
I can think of no counterpart when it comes to human body language — no gesture or stance we have that is as easily noticeable and understood. The handshake? No, that's just standard procedure, basic manners. Perhaps the one that came closest was the peace sign.
Rather than having a universal play stance, we resort to words, which often only make things more confusing. We try to make sense of subtle body language and interpret what we think are queues, neither of which we're that good at, either.
All that could be resolved if we only had a human play stance — a position we could place our bodies in that signifies we're open to getting to know a fellow human.
We've got the war stance down. We all know the fighting stance, or at least enough to put our dukes up. But there's no simple gesture or motion we humans can make — at least not without possibility of criminal charges or restraining orders — that sends a signal that peace, harmony and fun are ahead.
We can't, without repercussions, do the butt-sniffing thing. We can't, of course, go around peeing on each other's pee.
But why can't we come up with a play stance — one that says I'm open to getting to know you better, and perhaps even frolicking a bit?
Because that would be too easy for a species as complex as ours? Too honest? Too direct?
It was easier when we were children. A simple "Wanna play?" sufficed. Somehow, on the way to becoming adults, we started opting instead for far less direct, far stupider comments, like "Do you come here often?" and "What's your sign?"
Adopting a play stance for the human race, at this point — with all that we have evolved, with how sophisticated and suspicious and manipulative we as a society have become — would be difficult. It might be too late.
Two thumbs up and a grin? Standing with arms outstretched, knees bent, while waving people toward you? Most anything I can come up to signal you are accepting new people into your life would have the exact opposite effect, and send them running.
In the final analysis, being human, maybe we're stuck with words, and small talk, and being less straightforward, sincere and, quite likely, pure of heart and motive than dogs.
Ace will make friends his way, and I will make friends mine (which is most often with his help). But between him and my conversational skills, I'll be fine. And by the way, do you come here often?

What the Vick dogs taught humans
In 2007, it was one of the most sickening, disheartening stories of the year — NFL quarterback Michael Vick's arrest and imprisonment on dogfighting charges. Revelations of what transpired at Bad Newz Kennels showed just how cruel some humans can be.
By 2009, though, the story of Vick's dogs had become one of the most heartening of the decade. What made the difference? Mainly, the dogs — the pit bulls. For despite what they'd been put through, despite being abused, trained as killers or used as bait, they were — once the decision was made not to euthanize them — amazing the world with their remarkable resiliency.
Saving and rehabilitating the former fighting dogs of Michael Vick was not achieved without a battle, and not without the efforts of a lot of dog-loving, self-sacrificing humans. But the silver lining that eventually shone through the dismal story was provided mainly by the dogs, who showed that, no matter how bad a human messes them up, there's hope.
Once again, the irrepressible species was teaching us humans a lesson.
Vick's former pit bulls have gone on to reside in new homes with young children, become cherished pets, serve as therapy dogs and, in many cases, serve as shining examples of what is right with and special about the much-maligned breed.
How all that transpired is rivetingly detailed in a new book by Jim Gorant, "The Lost Dogs: Michael Vick's Dogs and Their Tale of Rescue and Redemption."
(For a preview, you can read an article by Gorant in today's Parade magazine.)
In the book, to be released next month, Gorant expands on his 2008 Sports Illustrated story on the Vick dogs (the one that featured Baltimore's own Sweet Jasmine on the cover), recounting how they were rescued from Vick's estate and how — though euthanasia was routine until then for animals seized from dogfighting operations — they were saved from that fate by an outpouring of public appeals.
The outcry helped lead to a court order that Vick pay nearly a million dollars in "restitution" to the dogs — money used to allow a handful of agencies across the country to rehabilitate them.
The book recounts the ASPCA-led evaluations of each dog — and how, though there were a few hardened fighters among them, many more were dogs ready to be loved, ready to forgive and try to forget.
In "The Lost Dogs," we learn more about Johnny Justice, the former Vick dog that participates in Paws for Tales, which lets kids get more comfortable with their reading skills by reading aloud to dogs; about Leo, who now spends three hours a week with cancer patients and troubled teens; and about Sweet Jasmine, who was coming out of her shell while living in Baltimore until she got loose and was hit by a car.
The book lists the outcomes for all 49 of the surviving pit bulls that were seized in April 2007 from Bad Newz Kennels, the Smithfield, Va., dogfighting ring run by Vick, then quarterback of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons, now — getting a multi-million dollar second chance of his own — a quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles.
While experts were expecting only 5 percent of Vick's dogs could be rehabilitated, only two, initially, had to be put down. One was excessively violent and the other was suffering from an irreparable injury. For the rest, though, there was hope, and no small amount of faith — which, more than anything else is what "The Lost Dogs" is about.
Rather than showing aggression, the Vick dogs tended to be "pancake dogs"— animals so traumatized that they flattened themselves on the ground and trembled when humans neared, much like our friend Mel, the former Vick dog we recently met in our travels through Dallas.
Many more seemed to be dogs with normal temperaments, but who had simply never been socialized.
Accomplishing that fell to the handful of animal welfare organizations that stepped forward, offering to take the Vick dogs in and work to rehabilitate them — among them Baltimore's Recycled Love, California's BAD RAP, (Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pitbulls), and Best Friends Animal Society in Utah.
As Gorant writes in the Parade magazine article, "… rescuers argued from the start that rather than be condemned as a whole, the dogs should be individually assessed and treated — and this has turned out to be one of the great lessons of the Bad Newz dogs. Generalizations and preconceptions are as unhelpful and counterproductive for pit bulls as they are for people."

You can take the dog out of the canyon, but …
Can you take the Grand Canyon out of the dog?
Shaggy, a mutt that spent six years surviving on his own in the Grand Canyon, will serve as an answer to that question as Best Friends Animal Sanctuary tackles the formidable task of socializing the feral dog.
Tonight's episode of "Dogtown" features Shaggy and Best Friends Animal Behavior Consultant Sherry Woodard, who will try to gain his trust, teach him the ways of the civilized world and turn the dog — the only surviving member of a litter born in the canyon — into an adoptable pet.
Tonight's show, also features Reggie, an Elkhound-mix with a mysterious and disfiguring skin condition, and an out-of-control beagle.
"Dogtown" airs at 10 p.m. on the National Geographic Channel.

Portuguese water dogs are not for everybody
With its selection as First Dog triggering the most publicity the Portuguese water dog has had since its introduction into the U.S. in the late 1960s, the Portuguese Water Dog Club has issued a press release urging the public to be cautious before jumping on any trend that might develop.
"While the PWD is a wonderful family pet, we want to use the increased interest in the breed as an opportunity to educate people about it," said Stu Freeman, President of the Portuguese Water Dog Club of America (PWDCA). "We encourage those who may consider adding a Portuguese Water Dog to their lives to do the proper research to ensure that this breed fits their lifestyle."
"PWDs are classified as working dogs. That means they enjoy being given jobs to do where they can display their intelligence, strength and stamina. Like all dogs, PWDs need positive training and socialization."
"The best thing about the breed is its versatility," said Jean Hassebroek, corresponding secretary of the PWDCA. "PWDs have been full-time sheep herders, R.E.A.D. therapy dogs and we even had a FEMA hero. But, they can also be champion couch potatoes, content to just hang out."
Because PWDs form a strong bond with their families, they don't do well when left alone for long periods or when boarded in kennels. PWDs enjoy participating in activities with their family such as youth soccer, baseball and basketball games, picnics, hiking, and especially any outing that involves water.
They do well in homes with children, the club warned, but it's possible a PWD could mistake a small child for a littermate and play too hard. In general, small children should never be left unsupervised with a dog of any breed.

FX: Battle of the sexes By: Farah Khalique Published on: Tuesday, December 1, 2015 Leading women in FX talk about breaking the glass ceiling as the latest scandals reinforce the macho stereotype of the industry. Could the rise of electronic trading influence gender dynamics? Print Order Share Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on googleplus Another month over, another round of FX scandals. This month has seen Barclays' $150 million fine for abusing its last-look policy and the New York Attorney General's decision to investigate FX spoofing at leading brokerages. The bad news keeps flowing, reinforcing the worst stereotype of the world's largest market as a clubby, male-dominated high-stakes playground. FX has a "clubbish" reputation, admits Alex McDonald, chief executive officer of the Wholesale Markets Brokers' Association. Foreign exchange is unique in that it is largely a bilateral, over-the-counter market – it's a relationship game. Exchange-like platforms exist, such as multi-bank portals like FXall and 360T, but big ticket trades still get worked through the leading dealers. The cringeworthy details of how traders at major banks colluded to rig FX benchmarks only solidified the clubbish reputation, thanks to tight-knit groups such as The Three Musketeers, One Team, One Dream and The A-Team. Jane Foley, Rabobank "Without a doubt, the FX scandals have tarnished the image of the industry," says Jane Foley, senior currency strategist at Rabobank. "Working in finance is not as attractive to young people as it once was." Foley has worked in FX for almost two decades. She initially worked in the asset management industry, analysing fixed-income markets after graduating in economics, before transitioning to FX markets in 1997. She has worked in FX research at Barclays investment bank and at Gain Capital. "When I first started out, it was usually assumed that I was a secretary or an assistant and certainly not an economist," she says. People no longer make that assumption, says Foley, but even though inappropriate jokes and overt sexism are a thing of the past, she believes sexism still exists in other forms. "Women are always a minority in FX," she explains. "In every team I've worked in, I've either been one of a couple or the only one. I would have thought by now those ratios would have altered more than they have. "While perhaps there are more women in finance overall, it is very clear that women are still a significant minority in FX." That much was evident at this year's TradeTech FX conference, held in London. Only three of the 45 speakers listed on the schedule were women – a measly 7% – and that was just on the first day of the conference. Are you in the club? A former trader, who now works in digital transformation of financial services, sums up spot FX over a pint: "Laddish, simplistic, blunt, brutal, male-dominated." "Women who come into finance tend to be smart, so why would they want to do that job?" he muses. Diversity drive Lisa Hinton joined the FX industry immediately after graduating from university, working at Goldman Sachs for seven years until 2007. She now works in recruitment at City search firm Shadowhound, which recruits across global markets, risk, legal and compliance for buy- and sell-side clients. "I was very interested in macroeconomics, economic news and politics, so foreign exchange seemed the most appropriate choice," she says. "I started in FX sales straight away – my direct report was a woman and there were quite a few of us." Hinton says the ratio of male to female was not evenly matched, but there was still good representation in mid to junior roles such as associates and analysts. Diversity on the trading floor is now discussed at senior levels within banks, she adds. As a recruiter into the FX industry, Hinton is asked to show a "diverse range of candidates" for roles. "There is no good reason why women can't be traders, but I think the problem historically is that there was a tendency for women at junior levels to get directed to sales," she says. Research published earlier this year by trading profiling company Financial Skills found that women can make better traders than men. Their study found that women took less risk, lost less money and were less likely to break trading rules; admirable qualities in a post-financial crisis trading environment. However, the real issue, as is the case generally in investment banking, is the lack of women in senior management. Motherhood is one factor. Flexitime in FX Flexible hours might be the norm for working mothers in other industries, but this is simply not the case in the fast-paced world of FX. Work-life balance at Goldman Sachs was not an issue for Hinton – she didn't have a family at the time and could commit to the long hours.

Hello! I am Portuguese and have lived in England for 14 years and I've been a carer for approximately 8 years. In the community I enjoy working with the elderly and would describe myself as a very caring person who is always ready to help. I also hold an NVQ in Health and Social Care and am fully insured. My sister, Maria, is also a HomeTouch carer and we help provide cover for each other. I also look after my own mother and so have personal experience of providing care. In my spare time I like to read and walk and am a big dog lover! I am looking for day care and am available Monday-Saturday 8am-6pm.
Thank you so much for prompt and caring attention! I was totally knocked out by the great care I received! Sonia was cheerful and knowledgeable and seemed to fit in as if she had been here for months! The follow through with the office was also assuring...and the booking process was so easy.

UPDATE #2: Due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict, this event has been canceled. My sincerest apologies for the inconvenience, hopefully we can set this up again sometime in the future. Everyone who signed up will receive a full refund (sometimes it takes PayPal up to a week for you to see the refund come through. This UPDATE has been emailed to the yes RSVPs.
UPDATE #1: There are fewer than 10 early bird spots left and the price will increase from $20 to $25 when the early bird spots are gone or by Sun. Jan. 1st (whichever comes first). I look forward to seeing you there!
This one's for the singles in our group!
I've made special arrangements with The Barking Dog for this event. We'll each experience a dozen first dates in one evening with numerous single young professionals of the opposite sex.
We will check in, each receive a name tag with a unique number on it, as well as an index card on which we'll print our name, our unique number, and our email address, starting at 6pm.
After check-in, for the first hour, we will rotate every 4 minutes and meet over a dozen new single friends, starting at 6:45pm.
Please note we will not get to "date" everyone, however we still have the next hour to meet others during the "open social" portion of the event. We'll then write down the unique number of those we'd like to see again and hand the card back in. TIP: Write down the name and number of everyone you meet on your card as you meet them (you can always scratch it out later), doing so is expected and perfectly acceptable for this type of event. (The following week after the event, typically no later than Wednesday, we'll receive an email with any mutual matches.)
For those that haven't been there before, The Barking Dog is a great pub, which encourages a pleasant and friendly setting for us to interact.
Please note the men-to-women signup ratio will be at or near 50:50. Come event time, sometimes we have no shows, which means there may be more of one sex than the other (usually only a few). This means that some people may be on a "break" here and there. When this happens, we typically extend the speed dating portion of the event a few more rotations to make up for it.
Also, please note with everyone talking at the same time during the "dating" portion of this event, this event tends to be loud. So please rest your voice and your ears!
We've got an early bird special for this event of $20 (the price of 2 cocktails at many lounges / clubs)! The first 55 paid sign-ups, or those who pay by Sun. Jan. 1st get the early bird price! After that, the ticket price will go to $25. We have a LIMITED number of spots so make sure to RSVP early AND make payment to secure your spot and get the early bird price! To make payment, please follow the steps in the "Payment" section of the event posting.
Come join us as we spend a great evening amongst other singles from our group!
Metro and Parking
The closest Metro is Bethesda (Red line). I suggest Metro / cabbing / Uber'ing if you can. I also recommend using wmata.com for travel planning. Don't forget to account for Metro, traffic, and parking delays. If you are driving, you will need to find street parking or a garage. I recommend using parkopedia.com for garage parking planning.
DO ask unique and interesting questions e.g. "What superpower would you most like to have?" (as opposed to typical questions such as "What do you do?" and "Where are you from?"). DO smile and make eye contact. DO write down the name and number of each person on your card when you first meet them. DON'T feel awkward doing so. Everyone is there for the same reason and writing someone's name and number is appropriate for this event (you can always scratch off the name later if you decide to).
Event Check-in
If you are late (arrive after the start time of 6pm), you risk the possibility of not being able to join us for the event. I will have a master list of all those that have paid. It's not required, but I recommend printing out your payment confirmation as a backup. When you check-in, your RSVP will be listed under the name of the PayPal or credit card account used to make payment. Typically, this is your LEGAL name as shown on your driver's license. Sometimes, it may be under a company name if you set up your PayPal or credit card account that way. If you are not sure what it is, please log into your PayPal account (it will say "Welcome, [your account name]" at the top) or your credit card account to find out. If you are RSVP'd under someone else's payment, please use that name for check-in.
Refund Policy
Since we pay in advance for this event, all sales are final unless the event is canceled or rescheduled. If the event is canceled or rescheduled, an UPDATE will be posted at the top of the event posting, and the UPDATE will also be sent as an email to the yes RSVPs. A full refund will be submitted no later than Wednesday of the following week. For rescheduled events, you must let us know within 3 calendar days of the UPDATE email if you are unable to make the new date... no refunds will be given after that time. Thanks for understanding. =)
Ticket Resell
Similar to a concert ticket or a football game ticket, you are free to sell your ticket to someone else (same sex only) if you are unable to attend. I suggest posting in the comment box for the event, that you have a ticket for sale. Work out payment between yourselves, and have the seller only send the organizer a "message" through their Meetup profile (do not comment in the comment box of the event posting) letting me know the first AND last name, and Meetup profile URL (if a member) of the person taking your spot (please also copy them on the message). I host a lot of events and groups, so please let me know the event name and group name the ticket transfer is for. You must let me know by the RSVP close time of 2:30pm on the day of the event.
Should inclement weather (e.g. snow storm, hurricane, etc.) affect our event, we'll need to reschedule or cancel. If any one of the following is not available for service due to inclement weather, we'll need to do so: Metrorail is not running to all stops; Uber (X, SUV, etc.) is not running or available at no more than 2x standard rates; venue(s) are not open. I'll post an UPDATE to the top of the event posting by 3pm on the day of our event with the details.
Special Needs
If you have any special needs (e.g. wheelchair, dietary for events with food included, etc.), let us know in advance (a week or more before the event) and we will do our best to accommodate (message me through my Meetup profile). If you let us know the day of the event, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to help. Thank you for understanding and we appreciate the courtesy of a heads up!

The Department of Commerce is revising its confidentiality agreement for statistical data survey respondents to reflect the fact that the Department of Homeland Security could see some of that data if it is captured by the Einstein system.
In a Feb. 17 memo, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told senior leadership to establish teams to look for duplication across the armed services in business operations, including in IT and cybersecurity.

Ricardo- Thanks for telling it like it is here. Kemph's actions up on the Hill in June were nothing but a disgrace. "50-60% of contractors with zero sales" and the solution is killing off new offers because schedules and certain SINS are over saturated - REALLY!! Why doesn't this loser deal with the 50-60% instead of shutting down new offers?? No mention of the fact that GSA is collecting 3/4 of 1% on $39B in GSA sales. Biggest horror is no push back from industry, the Hill or the suck-up procurement coalition which is nothing more than a "front" for Washington Management Group!
i hope everything is all right with you
We wish Steve God's healing touch and to those who are placed in acting positions strength and wisdom.
Mary has been at GSA for decades and is part of the problem. Nice talker, nice looker but it will be same stuff, different day with her. She's done nothing constructive for the Information Technology Service. They need some external leadership to rebuild a better management team. The new dude, Tangherlini, is polishing a turd with changes like this.

Click here for a map of global security risks
Businesses operating in Russia are expected to confront increasing hostility in the next year as President Putin tries to force through a renationalisation programme before he steps down, global security experts have predicted.
The warning by the Control Risks Group in its RiskMap for 2007 comes amid the dispute over foreign licences in the Sakhalin oil and gas project and question marks over exploration licences in the Shtokman gasfield.
"We are likely to see increased state intervention in the economy," Adam Strang-feld, the deputy research director, said. "President Putin will redouble

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Ford vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your automobile. It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement Fuel Injector to repair your automobile. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other vehicles these days. Ford car, truck, or SUV drivers have come to expect a certain level of dependability when driving their Country Squire around town.
You can't get maximum power and fuel economy together without high-quality engine components. The fuel injectors in your engine are responsible for spraying a precise amount of gas (or diesel) into your intake manifold so that optimum air/fuel ratios can be achieved. A clogged Ford Country Squire fuel injector will create a noticeable lack of power, and could result in other failures. When you find out that a fuel injector is no longer working in your Ford Country Squire engine, don't waste any time.
Get your Country Squire back on the road with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Ford Country Squire part for your needs.

Hi Ladies,
I am new to this thread. I am preparing for my 3rd IVF/ICSI and this time was prescribed DHEA 75mg.
I have been taking 50mg for a month (October) then increased the dose to 75mg since beginning of November.. On top of experiencing a few side effects , my period completely disappeared, no period for the last 10 weeks!
I am planning to stop taking it, but was wondering how long it would take for my period to come back as I am planning my next cycle?
Any feedback much appreciated.
Just wanted to wish u well for next cycle, I have been on dhea for a while now and AF still shows on time each month, effects everyone differently though. Gl, maybe speak with nurse at your fertility clinic, they may bring on AF if she dosent show? Or control your cycle differently, not sure gl
Pregnant for the first-time?
Not sure where to start? We can help!

The good news: People generally trust the people they work with every day. The bad news, if you're running a large organization: According to a new survey done by researchers at the London Business School and MIT's Sloan School of Management, senior managers trust colleagues in other departments or business units to deliver only 10% of the time.
It seems like a paradox. How can the people on your immediate floor be reliable while everyone else is feckless? But it's really a more complicated phenomenon. "Most people are well-intended and do want to help," says Rebecca Homkes, a teaching fellow at the London Business School, who worked on the survey. Larger organizational problems, however, make it hard to follow through. Fortunately, it is possible to create a more reliable organization over time once you know what's going on.
Strategic Confusion
The major problem, according to Homkes's survey of more than 11,000 senior managers at 400-plus companies, is that people are unclear on corporate priorities. When asked, only a third of senior managers could correctly identify what the CEO had identified as the firm's top three priorities. "When you drop one or two levels below the CEO, your ability to form a holistic picture is simply lost," she says. In this vacuum, "you're leaving managers across the organization to prioritize by themselves."
This becomes an issue when someone in another department asks for help. People aren't sure where these requests fit in with overall priorities. They could simply decline to help, but that leads to another problem: the never-say-no culture. The modern workplace features "the heroic notion that we can always work harder and do more," says Homkes. "Saying no makes it look like you're not busy enough." So people don't say no, but they don't give a wholehearted yes, either. It's more of a passive commitment, the I'll-see-what-I-can-do sort.
Then, when things get busy, managers who don't know what's vital to the organization as a whole naturally focus first on what's most important to their business units. Requests from other departments get lost in the shuffle. Hence the reason senior managers believe they can't count on other units. It looks, says Homkes, like "we only care about our own silo."
But that's not inevitable. First, says Homkes, leaders need to be more clear about a firm's top priorities and what each business unit should be doing to support these. To be sure, many leaders assume they're already doing that. Homkes notes that numerous CEOs protest that they've held town halls with the top three priorities listed on a slide. The problem is, "They also have 299 other PowerPoint slides that say other things," she says. It becomes one more thing, like new parking policies. It's lost in the flood of information.
Getting Clear On Yes And No
Second, organizations need to get in the habit of expecting and offering active commitments, not passive ones. A request should be accompanied by a statement such as, "I really need this piece of data by Friday at noon." The person receiving the request then responds, "I will get you this piece of data by Friday at noon." It's a yes with a deadline.
Key to this: It also has to be okay to say no. "That way, if I do say yes, you know I'm really going to do it," says Homkes. She describes some organizations that have gone so far as to create "No" cards that managers are supposed to use a certain number of times per year. It sounds silly, but the goal is to change the reality of large organizations, where Homkes's survey found that only 20% of senior managers thought that if colleagues in other business units couldn't deliver on a commitment, they'd inform them promptly. A clear "no" at least allows managers to make other plans.
Finally, smart leaders understand why people are reliable with their immediate colleagues. While you might drop a stranger's request, social dynamics mean that you don't want to hurt the woman in the next cubicle, both because you like her and you bump into her all the time. Distributed and international teams are the reality of business, but whenever possible, smart leaders arrange for people to get to know each other across units. That way, "when you send me that request, I can put a face with a name and know who I'm helping out," Homkes says.

Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz has gone to great lengths this week to classify his team's penalty problems. He said Monday, in fact, that he is concerned about two kinds of penalties -- those that occur before the snap and after the whistle -- and has zeroed in on five of the latter as the source for national discussion about the Lions' discipline.
The implication has been that five penalties over the course of 12 games falls short of a systemic, program-wide issue. That characterization, however, glosses over some unflattering big-picture trends.
The Lions have committed an NFL-high 28 personal fouls this season, according to an ESPN Stats & Information analysis based on all qualifying penalties. That's seven more than the next-highest team, the Tennessee Titans. Overall, 25 of the NFL's 32 teams have committed 15 or fewer such penalties. Considered broadly, the Lions have been called for nearly twice as many personal fouls as a quorum of teams.
Since Schwartz began his tenure in 2009, meanwhile, the Lions have led the league in personal fouls and are second only to the Oakland Raiders in total penalties.
I'm well aware that statistical studies have found little correlation between penalty totals and winning percentage. But I think we can agree that 15-yard penalties, by their nature, exert a disproportionate impact on a game.
The five penalties Schwartz has focused on include:
Right tackle Gosder Cherilus' post-whistle shove in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh's stomp of Green Bay Packers guard Evan Dietrich-Smith in Week 12.
Post-whistle extracurriculars by receiver Titus Young, tight end Brandon Pettigrew and kick returner Stefan Logan in Week 13 against the New Orleans Saints.
"Obviously the last two weeks," Schwartz said, "we haven't done a very good job with that and it's been situations that have put the team in a bad position."
In reality, a 15-yard penalty for pushing a player after the whistle hurts the team precisely as much as a late quarterback hit, a horse collar or any other personal foul. They might emanate from different motivations -- Schwartz considers the five penalties in question to be "selfish" compared to others that result from aggression -- but that's of minimal consequence in terms of game impact.
I'm sure the Lions don't agree with every personal foul they've been called for this season. That's no different than any team. The truth is that they might absorb a few extra calls because of the reputation they've earned for aggressive play.
But if you eliminate all five of the penalties Schwartz is concerned with, the Lions would still lead the league in personal fouls. That alone suggests the problem runs deeper than a handful of mistakes over a course of a long season. Just my two cents.

Version of Record online: 25 OCT 2011 | DOI: 10.1002/adma.201190163
The dimensionality of charge transport (2D versus 3D) in an organic electrochemical transistor depends on the degree of advancement of the electrochemical half-reaction in the organic semi-conductor, which is here governed only by capaci-tive coupling. As reported by Xavier Crispin and co-workers on page 4764, such a transistor with a carbon nanotube network as the gate electrode leads to a bulk transport in the semiconductor.

Poor you!! You sound exhausted & pushed to your limit. Be kind to yourself, we all have these moments, thankfully they don't last forever.
Mega hugs harvs
Goats Milk soap or a bath in goats milk.
I'm sure you already do but watch what is eaten and drunk.
My mother getting really bad eczema and I went grocery shipping with her one day.
The juice and peanut butter she purchased had additives that can cause skin issues in those that are prone to it
So we can't get into the doctors for 3 weeks, so I have been to the chemist and bought some moo goo antihistamine stuff and will see how that goes tonight, and he is in an oaty bath now too.
I have also bought and eaten some chocolate because @btmac told me to :-p and one should never underestimate the cleansing power of a shower (no pun), even if said shower doesn't have any water pressure and is scalding hot even with the cold water tap on full :-)
I've done some soul searching and will try to find and reconnect with that feisty thing that once lived inside me and just do what I think is best for DS and cop any flak that comes my way.
Thanks again everyone for all of the ideas and support x
Omg i just read this. I just want to give you a big hug. Honestly you need to do what you think is best and if that means steroids then that's what you do. I can't believe he is letting his anxiety dictate his sons health. But that's another thread..
I agree with coconut oil and it possibly being diet related. I hope he gets some relief. It must be so painful.
How often does you DS get eczema @harvs?
Often eczema is not related to allergies or diet, it's a gene. My DS has this kind. The ONLY thing that works for us after 2 years of everything is following our eczema specialist peadiatricians program. Steroid creams are necessary, without them scratching breaks the skin, causes scarring and staph infections. We now do bleach baths twice a week minimum, steroid cream and qv, his skin has improved out if sight.
Eczema itch at night is horrific and causes sleep problems so during a flare up we use phenergan.
I hope your boy improves soon.
