New York Times Highlights Technology at the Museum
by AMNH on
From tweetups to touring the Museum using AMNH Explorer, The New York Times features the Museum's digital efforts in a special section out today.
Writing about social media, Jennifer Preston focuses on two recent Museum tweetups that offered participants behind-the-scenes tours of the collections and looks at two exhibitions, Brain: The Inside Story and The World's Largest Dinosaurs, which opens April 16.
A separate article about smartphone apps praises AMNH Explorer for taking "full advantage of the latest technology" by using the Museum's wi-fi network to pinpoint a user's location. "The app's distinguishing feature is both ingenious and pragmatic," writes Sam Grobart. "In addition to exhibitions, the app can point visitors toward cafes, gift shops and—an especially valuable feature for those traveling with children—bathrooms."
And in a story about how a small computer called an Arduino has revolutionized exhibition design, Nick Bilton points to interactive exhibits at the Museum, including one in Brain: The Inside Story that tests a person's ability to draw a shape while looking only at a reflection.
Update to Museum's Dinosaurs App Adds Nine Species
by AMNH on
There are now nine more dinosaurs to explore using the Museum's Dinosaurs app for iPhone and iPod touch, which this week added new chapters with detailed species profiles, photos and renderings, stories about specimens' discoveries, and more.
The new chapters include a look at Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis, the sauropod known for its exceptionally long neck. With an adult length of 60 feet, including a 30-foot-long neck, and height of 11 feet at the shoulder, Mamenchisaurus is the largest dinosaur discovered in China to date. A life-sized model of this colossal animal is at the center of the upcoming exhibition, The World's Largest Dinosaurs, which opens at the Museum April 16.
The app update also includes links to dinosaur videos on the Museum's YouTube channel and recent podcasts. Learn more about the app here and download it for free from iTunes.
Museum Hosts Dinosaur Tweetup
by AMNH on
After the Museum closed on Thursday, March 3, tweeters gathered beneath the towering Apatosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rexin the Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs for the Museum's Dinosaur Tweetup. Choosing from a slate of tours, groups of tweeters headed to behind-the-scenes destinations for a conversation with one of the Museum's scientists, a preview of a major upcoming exhibition, and a close look at some of the specimens in the collections,
In his office on the Museum's off-limits sixth floor, paleontologist Mark Norell, co-curator of the upcoming exhibition The World's Largest Dinosaurs and chair of the Division of Paleontology at the Museum, met with tweeters to discuss his current research and show an unnamed fossil specimen.
Tweeters also visited the Exhibition Design Studio to see the preparations underway for The World's Largest Dinosaurs, which opens April 16. Senior Vice President for Exhibition David Harvey revealed the partially constructed model of a Mamenchisaurus, which will reach 60 feet in length. Tweeters also got a glimpse of a colossal sauropod femur and of the exhibition in miniature.
Finally, in the Big Bone Room, paleontology collections manager Carl Mehling told stories of dinosaur-hunters of the past and presented some of the largest items in the Museum's collection. Highlights included a look at a fossilized dinosaur brooding eggs and the chance to touch a 70-million-year-old impression of dinosaur skin.

Museum Announces March 3 Dinosaur Tweetup
by AMNH on
Did you know that dinosaur bones contain growth rings, like the rings in tree trunks, which reveal yearly periods of rapid and slow growth? Or that sauropods, the largest known dinosaurs, probably survived on a diet of plants? This is your chance to learn about dinosaurs — and to tweet all about it!
Join us on Thursday, March 3, at 6 pm for the Museum's next tweetup, which will focus on some of the most fascinating animals ever to walk the Earth. Learn about dinosaurs, meet paleontologists, go behind the scenes to see how fossils are stored, and get a sneak preview of The World's Largest Dinosaurs, a new exhibition that opens April 16. Enjoy refreshments in the Museum's famous fossil halls and meet other @AMNH followers and staff.
Visit the registration page to sign up today. The Museum will notify all selected participants on February 23. The Museum's January tweetup focused on Brain: The Inside Story. To learn more, check out these photos or read this post.

We've partnered with Roadtrippers to provide a great way to plan a trip around Oregon. So start planning your next road trip to here, there or pretty much anywhere in Oregon.
DESCRIPTION: Most of this trail travels through Mill Creek Wilderness, following Mill Creek itself. It is a fairly easy hike except for numerous stream crossings with no bridges. This trail receives fairly heavy use, especially in summer. Cattle are also allowed to graze in the area. The highlight of this trail is the contrast between thick stream vegetation and ponderosa pine forest, as well as views of the Twin Pillars, 200 foot tall volcanic plugs that dominate the landscape. Trail ends on north side of Wilderness at Bingham Prairie on Forest Road #27.

Best travel cam corder. It is small and easy to use and hooks up to you tube automatically and will work with Mac. If a camera is too big it will not be used. Hence this is perfect size and a great travel buddy. Can put in pocket and not even notice
jStanek's recommendation
great little cam for recording your shows, gigs and backstage shenanigans!
kewesq's recommendation
I got this for Christmas and it is LOVELY! So compact and so easy to use. You can use it right out of the box. There are many positives: size, appearance, ease of use and the truly surprising video AND sound quality. I love the attached USB connector that allows you to plug and upload videos quickly. and I love that you can share videos by sending a link and not a huge attachment. There are really just a few downsides: it's hard to secretly record because of the bright red light that comes on when you are recording, you will need a fair amount of light to get a good recording and the camera has no lamp, and finally the camera is not expandable. There is no memory card slot so you can record only about an hour on the camera's internal memory drive before you need to connect to a computer and move your videos to retrieve some space. The pluses far outweigh the minuses! Overall I give the Mino an A+ LOVE IT!!!
michellelamar's recommendation

I own this little flip video camera. I carry it with me most everywhere I go. It's handy because you never know when something will come up that you would like to record. Have you ever said "wow I sure wish I had a recorder to capture this event"? It's small, lightweight, easy to use and easy to download onto any laptop.
UStraveler's recommendation
This product is awesome. Currently there is a total new line so you can make your own design. This FLIP is so easy to use and you can manage your video's in a flip. Terrific product especially for holidays, parties or making your own you tube video.

BioRegional Development Group, London, UK
Tree surgery produces fuel
Have you ever wondered what happens to the waste wood from parks and gardens? Well you might be surprised to learn that much of it goes to landfill. Such disposal hardly seems the best use of a potential source of energy.
Which is exactly what BioRegional thought. Set up in 1994 to provide practical sustainability solutions, BioRegional knew that waste wood could be turned in to woodchip and used as fuel. However, the project needed partners and an easy-to-use mechanism for collection.
The answer to the first problem came thanks to City Suburban Tree Surgeons Ltd, and Croydon Council in South London where BioRegional decided to focus its efforts. The Council provided the site, City Suburban invested £250,000 and Bioregional sourced another £150,000. The fruit of their labours was a TreeStation – a centre where waste wood is received from many sources, turned into woodchip and delivered for use as a fuel. The Council paid City Suburban £10 per tonne to take waste wood, but saved four times as much on landfill costs. Most of the woodchip was sold to a combined-heat-and-power plant, where it dispaces high-carbon coal.
By late 2009, Croydon TreeStation managed by City Suburban was producing about 3,500 tonnes/year of woodchip. Moreover, the TreeStation scheme has established a market for waste wood in Croydon, an easy-to-access place where tree surgeons and gardeners alike can take their waste.
However, there are bigger plans. A 2005 survey estimated a potential over 300,000 dry tonnes/year of wood in the London area alone. BioRegional is working out how to get this use to produce higher grade woodchip for boilers. So, when you see tree-cutting on your street, you might just be watching the fuel that is heating your school or lighting your home.

New Zealand Oil & Gas's share price is "ridiculously low", even with the impacts of the Pike River Coal mine disaster and reduced reserves from the Tui oil and gas field taken into account, chairman Tony Radford told shareholders at the company's annual meeting in Wellington.
Radford said he considered the Pike River explosions, which killed 29 miners last November and caused the mine's receivership, "an unforeseen disaster" which NZOG had taken on the chin.
However, with an $80 million insurance payout agreed and the sale process for the mine at the final bids stage, the company was looking forward to being quit of the costly coking coal mine development, of which it was a 29 per cent shareholder.
The NZOG share price has plunged 50 per cent since just before the first mine explosion, on November 19, to trade unchanged today at 62 cents.
That was partly because NZOG had not achieved the "basic objective" of successfully strengthening its profit base, the impact of Pike River, lower reserves and failure to drill a successful well in recent times.
"This has reduced market interest in the company," said Radford in speech notes posted before the meeting began.
But the weak share price also reflected a wider "softening of demand for shares in small-medium companies which operate in the traditional oil/gas sector," he said.
"This factor is evident when you look at the listings on the ASX, with many shares in this sector now selling at a discount to the value ratings attributed by investment analysts. We are not alone in sustaining price falls in this period, because of the mood of the market."
As a result, NZOG's market capitalisation at around $245 million was less than the value of its 15 per cent share of the Kupe oil and gas field, valued at $275 million, let alone NZOG's other assets and prospects.
Departing chief executive David Salisbury presented plans to drill in the Kakapo prospect (PEP51311), offshore Taranaki, in 2012, and said plans were advancing to drill in the company's recently acquired offshore Tunisian acreage, the Diodore prospect, in 2013. NZOG holds 100 per cent of both licences and gave the company the opportunity to farm in other partners.
Radford told shareholders the board was focused on the need to pay reasonable dividends during a time of poor share price performance, although reduced dividends had been inevitable after absorbing the costs of the Pike River disaster.
"However, since January 2011 and into the current financial year, with the profits and cash generated from Kupe and Tui continuing at very healthy rates, the application of our dividend policy, which remains unchanged - that we will pay a reasonable proportion of our available profits as dividends - should lead to the resumption of payment of dividends consistent with those of past years," Radford said.
He also confirmed that recruitment of a new CEO was "at an advanced stage."

On Monday we invited Arsenal.com readers to voice their opinions on the performances of Cesc Fabregas last season after the Spanish midfielder scooped the O2/Arsenal.com Player of the Season award.
We were inundated with e-mails from Gunners fans heaping praise on the 21-year-old. Below are some of the best.
"Cesc brings a dimension of football no other Premier League club can match. His vision and football understanding is way and above any other player in the Premier League. He gives an example to his team-mates and the way Flamini blossomed last year is an example of the confidence he gives his fellow players. To say he is brilliant is an understatement. What player would I compare him with? It must Franz Beckenbauer who was rated the most complete player of his day. Undoubtedly the predominant memory has to be the brilliant goal he scored against Milan in the Champions League."
Clive Davis, Member of Arsenal Supporters club, Norway
"We say goodbye to Vieira, up steps Cesc. Henry departs, up steps Cesc. Undeniably the most gifted midfielder in the Premiership and only 21. A magnificent footballing brain, so advanced that, like Bergkamp before him, even his team-mates sometimes cannot operate on the same wavelength. Graceful and intelligent but fierce and strong as last season has shown. A future captain and the heartbeat of the young Arsenal team."
Lucy Cole
"Fabregas is a wonderful player. He is so good that when he is introduced into a play, you will see his effect immediately that the game has improved (he dictates the pattern and pace of the game). His accurate and calculated passes cannot be waved aside."
Femi Jacobs, Nigeria
"Cesc Fabregas is a MIDFIELD WARRIOR, always giving 100 per cent on the field, this has been proven with the 23 assists and 13 goals he has scored. To me he was the best midfielder last season with such statistics. He has also been getting back when necessary."
Harry Husbands, Barbados
"I am so glad Cesc was deservedly voted Player of the Season for Arsenal. He has been an inspiration for the team and has improved so much. His technique, vision and passion are all so strong, making him incredible to watch. He has continued to impress with his sublime passing and intelligence beyond his years and he has also added goals and a more attacking side to his game. It is easy to mention his footballing game, however, I think Cesc Fabregas brings so much more to the game. I am 15 years old and he is my hero. I admire his skills of course but his conduct is equally as impressive. In interviews, there seems nothing wrong ever in what he says and he speaks with a genuine love of the game and the club. While so many footballers are motivated by money, greed and feel they can get away with anything because they are who they are, Cesc is a legend and my hero. I think he is amazing in so many ways."
Katy Brown, 15
"I'm 15 so some people might not think I know a lot about football, but I know one thing for certain - Cesc Fabregas is one of the most inspirational and talented midfielders in the world. I love Arsenal and hope one day that I can play for them and if I was playing alongside Fabregas I would consider it a great honour. Upon seeing his performance in Euro 2008 it is clear he has a fantastic understanding of football and a brilliant mind. He has great skill, agility and has great vision."
Orlando Miller, London
"Fabregas is an amazing player, his goal at the San Siro was a definite highlight of last season, he is the playmaker and brings so much quality and style to the team, he deserves to be player of the season because he is Arsenal."
Aisha, Shropshire
"Cesc is just one more reason the likes of Adebayor should respect what Arsène Wenger can do for players. Cesc is a fabulous young, gifted, talented likeable man who comes across so polite and amenable when interviewed, he is a real professional footballer worth his wages and a credit to Arsenal Football Club. We should be proud of this man, and I remember many years ago on Sky's pundit panel when week-in week-out Charlie Nicholas would say 'that boy Fabregas is going to be some player in the future', that was when he was 17 years old. I am looking forward to the day he captains Arsenal. Arsène Wenger has done it again."
Derek Hellery, Braintree, Essex
"Fabregas has got the lot: passing, scoring and even a willingness to get stuck in. Why do Arsenal fans love him so much? Probably because his heart and soul is 200 per cent Gunner. He is not a gold digger - for him it is about achieving greatness and committing yourself to the Wenger cause. Which of course is total football with a hint of French flair. I truly hope Adebayor remains as well as Van Persie because with those three fit for a whole season I don't see any defence stopping the Arsenal."
Gooner Fan, South Africa
"A perfect role model to young players and still a rising talent. I hope he can continue to develop and win lots of trophies with Arsenal."
Andre Kirby, High Wycombe
"One of the best things that happened to football this decade is Cesc. He has achieved and shown quality at at every level he plays. He makes football look so easy that I often have a rethink about having a footballing career!"
Fadahunsi Babajide, Nigeria
"What a player! He is the vital cog in Arsène's team of young superstars, making us tick with the efficiency of a Rolex watch, spraying crossfield passes with consumate ease, tigerish in the tackle and with a desire and belief that completely beggers belief for someone of his age. He is the player I always look for in every team sheet for every game, and having him there is what we need to make sure we take the fight to the opposition. I wouldn't sell him for £100 million!"
Jordan Rothery
"Cesc Fabregas is currently one of the best midfielders in the world. He brings everything to this Arsenal squad and is the heart of the midfield. He can score brilliant goals, hold and control the ball and also defend as well. He doesn't remind me of anyone because he is one of a kind. There are many favourite Fabregas moments - the goal against AC Milan, the goal at Liverpool in the Premier League and the goal against Tottenham. He deserves to be Arsenal's Player of the Season."
Gianni Zollo, Australia

Holiday Traditions in South America
As a traveler or expat, experiencing the holidays outside the U.S. can be an eye opening and life changing experience. As we usher in a new holiday season and begin to reflect upon the past year, on the surface, traditions around the globe may appear very different, but dig a little deeper and you'll see that we're all just searching for a cause to celebration. With each country having their own interpretation of food, family and fun, you may be surprised to learn at the core just how similar we actually are, despite personal beliefs and rituals.
Here are a few of our favorite ways to celebrate the Christmas season in South America.

A Quick Getaway to Uruguay: Colonia del Sacramento
Though it's just an hour away from Buenos Aires, you'll need your passport to travel: Colonia del Sacramento, across the Rio de la Plata from Buenos Aires, is the gateway to Uruguay. Many travelers come to Argentina with intentions of visiting the historic riverside town, settled by the Portuguese in 1680. And they always ask the same questions — how, why, when, and what is there to do there? Without further adieu, let's address these frequently asked questions.

The 8 Greats: The Amazing Animals in South America's Amazon Jungle
The Amazon Jungle is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world. In fact, it's so expansive that if it were a country, it'd be the ninth largest. Ten percent of the life on this planet live within the confines of the Amazon Rainforest. When you think about it – that one in 10 of all of the world's flora and fauna inhabit nine countries in South America – it's pretty impressive.
The task of choosing some of my favorites was a difficult one, so I enlisted the help of Rainforest Expeditions wildlife photographer, Jeff Cremer to help me narrow down the list of thousands of potential candidates, to eight of the greats (in no particular order).

Charming Cobblestones: Brazil's Sleepiest Colonial Towns
The Portuguese left an indelible mark on Brazil when they finally got out of town in 1822. There are number of charming colonial towns built by the Portuguese throughout the country. These sleepy towns and villages, flush with whitewashed architecture accented by a kaleidoscopic array of flash and color, are the perfect spots to kickback with nothing to do but wander the stuck-in-time cobblestoned streets. No photographic skills necessary, these gems do all the work for you, around each and every turn a new postcard Brazilian moment.
If you visit any of these sleepy Kodak-moment towns, you can impress the locals with your knowledge of the local vernacular. The word for "cobblestones" is one of the most entertaining words in Portuguese: Paralelepípedos.
Good luck with that!

I started PBF two weeks ago, at level 4 for all 4 movements. Now it's week 2, and I'm at level 5 for Squats and planks, the high end of level 4 for pull ups(10-11 pull ups, 8-9 chin ups), but only mid level 4 for push ups(27-30 first set, 22-25 second. Next week I'll be at level 6 for planks and Squats, but not so for pull ups and push ups. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, or tips for speeding upper body strength/endurance? I feel like my push ups are severely lacking compared to the other three, even though I can do five more reps per set this week than last.

Verizon no doubt will refarm the spectrum to expand its LTE footprint. Other carriers are closing down outdated technology such as the iDEN pipeline that Sprint is closing down next year, and by 2017 AT&T will shutter its 2G GSM network. The last of the analog networks already disappeared in 2008. With spectrum scarce and LTE coverage beckoning, carriers need to eliminate rarely used spectrum and refarm it to expand its LTE coverage.
By the end of next year, Verizon's LTE service will cover its entire 3G footprint and the carrier will introduce VoLTE in 2013. Currently, calls made by Verizon customers are routed over the CDMA pipeline but Big Red will eventually have voice and data carried over its LTE network.
source: FierceWireless
UPDATE: So it turns out that a "decade worth of pre-warning" does not necessarily indicate that Verzion's 2G and 3G service will be around for exactly another 10 years. Here is an official comment on the matter: "The Verizon Wireless 2G and 3G networks will be available into the foreseeable future. Recently published dates are guidelines that we are giving customers who have to plan, fund, and transition large enterprise projects to the faster speed networks. The Verizon Wireless 2G and 3G networks will be available as long as necessary to support customers who may have mission critical projects on those networks."

Ashley's custom Donna Karan Atelier dress was hands down one of the best of the night! Seventeen's current cover girl wowed on the carpet in this pale-pink, one-shoulder gown—serious perfection from head to toe.
We have to say that despite the breakup and makeup drama, K-Stew has never looked better! Her lacy, nude, sheer-paneled Zuhair Murad dress was definitely a showstopper, but why not go out with a bang to celebrate the final Twilight chapter?

Soup Kitchen Celebrates 25 years
The Sharing Bread Soup Kitchen began at St. Francis school basement on May 18, 1987, as St. Francis Soup Kitchen. Our first guests numbered 18. We have moved twice. The first time to South Seventh. We were then on ground level and handicap accessible. However, because of guests coming too early, it was disruptive to the adjoining businesses. It was during that period we got a new name — more community minded, as that was what we were. Many of the community churches and organizations worked at preparing one meal each day. We have been at our present location on Oak Street near the former Temple Baptist Church for eight years. Our daily attendance is now in the he 50s and often hit the 60 mark. We have operated all these years strictly on donation and grants. Our manager, Bob Evans, is very good about writing grants to help our cause. At the present time we are collecting funds to update the kitchen, as per Minnesota health inspector standards.
It is truly a mission looked favorable by our God. Without him we would never have been successful for 25 years. The Sharing Bread Soup Kitchen is a great asset to the city and surrounding area of Brainerd.

Wigtown: Small World, Big Ambitions
This year Wigtown, Scotland's National Book Town, aims to be the home of the smallest and the largest book in the world. It is a unique ambition and it rivals Denver in the United States, currently holder of the largest book record, and Japan, currently challenging for the smallest book record.
But for Wigtown, records are not an idle boast; holding records is also about respecting quality. Gleniffer Press, run by Helen and Ian MacDonald, is on the outskirts of the idyllic Galloway Book Town. It is Gleniffer that hold the record for the worlds smallest book an lithography printed edition of "Old King Coal" and the smallest letterpress printed book in the world, "Three Blind Mice".
Gleniffer has been in the business of miniature books for 25 years and Ian MacDonald has some remarkable stories to tell.
"In 2000 we were the first Scottish publisher since Collins in the early 20th century to publish the Bible. Of course, it was in miniature. We also helped found the Miniature Book Society in 1983 which is holding its first English Convention in Bath this September. Glasgow hosted the Society Convention in 1990 when the city was honoured as European City of Culture."
Gleniffer are now approaching their 50th miniature publication. Each has its own ISBN number. Many furnish doll's houses. Dolls' house enthusiasts like to have miniature libraries containing complete and readable miniature versions of some of the worlds classic books, but many publications are simply treasured collectors' items. They are beautifully produced to exacting standards. However, Gleniffer are not solely specialists, they also want the public to enjoy printing and to enjoy miniature books from all over Europe.
For the forthcoming International Book Towns' Festival and Book Fair, Helen and Ian MacDonald, alongside the Secretary of the German Miniature Book Society, will give a demonstration of printing and bookbinding in the Best of Galloway marquee in the centre of the town between 21 23 May.
With a portable press, children and enthusiastic adults alike will be able to print their own Gleniffer Press cards on technology that changed the history of Europe in centuries past before the advent of the computer.
At the same time, in the County Buildings, there will be the Miniature Book Society's European Exhibition of over 100 miniature books from around Europe, all contained in a single showcase! This collection is currently based in York, England but spends much of its time in Berlin, Germany, so the exhibition represents a rare chance to see some of the most original and startling books in the world. It has never before been shown in Scotland!
Meanwhile, the attempt on the world record for the largest book ever produced continues...watch this space for more information.
Wigtown's International Book Town's Festival and Book Fair, assisted by Leader+ Dumfries and Galloway, Dumfries and Galloway Council and Scottish Enterprise Dumfries and Galloway, takes place between 21 23 May 2004.

text: Grand Rapids Singer Writes A Special Song For His Sister Who Was Diagnosed With Autism By Kim Carson May 31, 2012 11:00 AM Share on Facebook Share on Twitter His name is Chas Burtchett, and I first met him and heard him sing at the Autism Support of Kent County Walkathon a few weeks back at Kuiper College. I've been hosting the event for the past 5 years or so. Chas was telling me and some of the others, about his sister who was diagnosed with Autism. See Autism is one of those things where not much is known about it still. Sure there are statistics like, 1 in 88 children have been identified with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, according to the CDC. ASD's are reported to occur in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. ASDs are almost 5 times more common among boys (1 in 54) than among girls (1 in 252). But those are just numbers. There are real people behind those numbers and Chas wanted more people to understand that so he wrote a song about his wonderful sister. Chas told me the reason he wrote this song was to cheer his sister up and show God's Love for her. Then when Autism Speaks got a hold of it he realized that it could touch peoples hearts throughout the world and could spread Autism awareness. My goal since that day has been to spread Autism awareness all around the world. He says he's had the great opportunity to sing at the palace of Auburn Hills, Notre Dame, he also opened for Hunter Hayes as well as Remedy Drive. Chas says he is so thankful where God has lead the song. In the near future Chas is going to New Jersey to sing the song at the Autism Radio Concert. Autism Speaks is going to do a Public Service Announcement with the song and there are also talks of a commercial with Converse. Chas says while all of these things are wonderful the real reason for the song was to spread awareness and try and touch peoples hearts and show people with Autism that they were made by God's hand and they too are so important and special. A little more about Chas' song, Grammy recognized Producer and Songwriter Dave Carlock, known for his work with multi-platinum artists P!NK, Blink-182, Foo Fighters and Eric Clapton, has come on board to produce and mix the song in his Benton Harbor recording studio. The Verve Pipe and Chas were in the studio a couple weeks ago cutting the finished product of Cristy's Song and were finishing up the vocals. T he Celebrities backing the Song are Annette Kelly, Heidi Sheer, The Verve Pipe (Drummer and Bass Guitarist), P!nks Producer, Autism Radio (New Jersey), Autism Speaks, and Celebrities Against Autism. In the video you will see P!ink's producer and Chas doing the song.

If you can only crate a puppy for 2-4 hours, how do people work?
Hello--All the puppy training articles I have read advise not leaving a puppy crated for more than 2-4 hours. How do people manage this and hold down a job? And do they get up in the middle of the night to let the puppy go outside? I am getting depressed because I really want a puppy, but this would not be possible. My husband and I have somewhat different schedules, so the puppy would only be alone 7 hours at a time during the day. We work too far away to come home and let it out during the day. Are puppies just for retirees, then? I don't see how this schedule is feasible. I would rather paper train it, but my husband is adamantly opposed to that. THANKS for any advice/guidance.

Well Hailey is crate trained and she stays in the cage up to 6-7 hours over night. I don't let her out at night UNLESS she wants too. Hailey was VERY easy to train, i believe you can leave a dog in a cage up to 8 hours MAX! So i don't see tthe big deal, if you have extra time and energy to train him/her at night to be a well behaved dog & if you have the money then i say go for it. And IF you can take care of him/her and exercise him/her. To run off some energy, so it'll want to please you in training. I think it'd depend on the breed as well. Get a small or medium.. shouldn't be to hard. & with the right training.. & a breed thats known to want to please... Good luck!
Remember its your choice!

It's tough work having a puppy. I don't work and it was like a full time job to raise Jack. And he was the easiest puppy I've ever encountered!
It's a lot of work and commitment. Most people try to take at least a week off work to welcome the new pup home and they use that time to establish a schedule with the dog. Puppies are very needy; they cling to you and need you there a lot since they are going through a HUGE separation from their mother and litter-mates. It's a tough time for them and so it's important that they not be left alone too much. Behavioral issues can result, but really just basic loneliness can set in.
People sometimes arrange to come home for lunch to walk and feed the puppy (pups eat 3x a day to start) or they enlist the help of a more flexible-scheduled friend or neighbor.
Yes, getting up at night is part of it, too.
I'm with your hubby, paper training sets a dog up to fail.
Ultimately, you have to weigh your desires with what is right for the puppy.

Puppies have a hard time holding the bladder. that is why it says no longer than 4 hours. What my friends did is have another friend that worked close by stop on her lunch to let the puppy out to potty and play for a few minutes. Also people can hire a dog walker or a well known neighbor to do it. When a puppy starts getting his schedule of feeding and pottying, s/he can be left for longer amount of time in the crate. If the puppy learns to go in his crate, it will be harder to brake. Lola was able to hold her potty at 4 &1/2 months all night with out waking up... sometimes that was 9 hours of not waking up. It will depend on age, size and breed (small dogs small bladders) I think. I think only the first 2 months (if you get one at 8 weeks) is when you can't expect them to hold their potty longer that 2-4 hours.

Why not look for a young dog (6-9 mos) from a RESCUE? They are more likely to be house trained AND a breed you can choose than dogs from a shelter. You just may be able to get a 6-9 month old pup with all of the attributes of a "puppy" with all of the early training already done. Pick a couple of breeds, read up on them and then check out their breed clubs and rescues. Another plus is the dog will already be neutered!

I am not opposed to using some sort of a pen in the home where the puppy has a large enough area to have a pee/poop area and a play/sleep area away from it. There are lots of exercise pens available out there... they can be set up with a crate (door off), some food & water, some toys and some newspapers at one end. As long as the pup is only allowed to pee/poop in the pen and is "normally" housebroken while the owners are home it doesn't seem to result in too much confusion. I have done this with several Winter puppies over the years... they turned out great and were totally housebroken just as quickly as other pups which were with me 24/7. I would recommend a pen, and not one room of the house... to me, the area needs to be somewhere that the pup is not in when the owners are home with it, which is why a room would not work. For a small breed puppy a child's playpen will even work. I would still suggest crating the dog at night, even if you have to let it out during the night.

Honestly, puppys aren't for everyone. Many people who have never had a dog become overwhelmed with the responcibility of a puppy because they have no control of their bladder or excitement. Puppys are a lot of work.
I feel like some people want a puppy because they want a "cute little puppy" (keep in mind they are only like that for less then a year) and some people want a puppy because they don't want an "old" dog. But dogs that are 1-3 years old are still playfull and young, willing to learn and please, and have 10+ years of life expected.
These are my thoughts. I do know of the cons of getting a dog that's a year old or more. but I feel like with your schedule, like you said, it doesn't sound like you have enough time to dedicate unless you were to get a sitter, because that's just about the only other way around it, a pet sitter, doggy daycare, a neighbor... somebody needs to let the dog relieve himself. He will be tough to potty train if he is allowed to potty in his kennel
Phillip J. Fry answered on 12/17/09. Helpful? / 0
You could hire a dog walker and let the pup out for a good 1/2 hour each day. Or have a reliable friend drop by each day to let the pup out.
But, puppies aren't all they're cracked up to be. You'll have to spend lots of time with the pup teaching it house manners and getting up in the middle of the night letting him out to go potty, getting up early to get him out first thing, etc.
You'll need to spend time each day doing some kind of training, so if you get home from a long day and a long drive and you don't have the energy to take the pup for a walk and do some training, you'll have an untrained dog all that much longer.
Think about getting a rescue that's a bit older. That will still mean that you'll need to spend time bonding with it, but leaving a puppy alone for 7 hours a day isn't fair at all.
I adopted Mikey from a rescue and luckily he was already partially potty trained and I could leave him alone longer than if he were a puppy.
Puppies need their people. They're babies.

I don't think it wise to leave a puppy alone for more than a few hours. My neighbor has a puppy (about 4 months old) and he leaves it alone for 7-8 hours at a time and he's in a crate. IT DRIVES ME INSANE!!!!!! The poor pup wants out so bad I can hear him all day from next door!!!! It is unfair to a puppy to be left home all day. I, personally, prefer dogs from shelters. Then you are actually helping a dog who needs someone or they could be put down, if there long enough. My dog is 4 Years old and was rescued a few months ago. There are set backs, mine has a fear of other dogs and so lunges for them, but you can find out the history of how an animal is from the shelter (i knew what i was getting into)! Also, shelter dogs, to me, are more willing to please their owner since you are RESCUING them, and they seem to know it. Plus you don't have to worry about a spay or neuter bill later on (most of the time)!!!!! Good luck.

We have routinely left even 7 week old puppies 4-5 hours at a time in the day time and usually they are making it through the night in a few weeks. As others have mentioned, using a neighbor or professional dog walker is a good idea. I also like th esuggestion of starting with an older rescue.
I don't like to see even older dogs left 7 hours. However, with one of them, you can leave it at doggy day care.
Papers, pads, X-Pens only confuse the dog making housebreaking even harder.

Find A Grave was very useful to me in my past family research, now it's time to give back to this site. Find A Grave is where we find and add our memorials to our friends and relatives. It's wonderful to have this place where we are able to see the headstone, maybe their picture, and add their life story, and link them to their parents, spouse and children. It broke my heart to find someone dear to me here, after visiting the grave for such a long time and running out of conversation with the headstone, so began the taking of pictures of the markers next to the grave. If you stand at the grave, name all the children on the stone, and tell them what the grandchildren have been up to lately, you get to the sad part of the grandchildren they never got to know. Should our grandchildren ever want to know where they came from this may be one place to look in the future. If there is a memorial added and it is your friend or relative my loved ones are probably near by. It is surprising how many contact me about the names that have been added with more links and information. If you show interest in a name there will be more research done, so look again at it later. My renewed interest is in family history and plan to enter information mainly in the southwestern Idaho area. Will try to help you with requests, have been finding local obituaries and transcribing them from microfilm.
Please feel free to use...
the pictures, biographies, obituaries, etc. in any way that is helpful to you, and there is no need to give credit. Find A Grave scales down the pictures so click on them several times till they are as big as possible before

TriMet releases cost, rider numbers
Milwaukie light rail will cost up to $1.4 billion and carry as many as 26,000
Metro officials still don't know exactly where the Portland to Milwaukie light rail line will run or how it will cross the Willamette River, but a preliminary report provides a better idea of what it will cost and how many passengers it will carry: up to $1.4 billion and as many as 26,000.
Metro is in the process of crafting the Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement (SDEIS) for the project. The document doesn't require final figures or routes, but winnows down the options for the line. For the Portland to Milwaukie line, that means there are still five different possibilities for crossing the Willamette, two different alignments into Milwaukie, two different ending points and several combinations of park-and-ride lots.
The report estimates the line will cost anywhere from $1.25 billion to $1.42 billion and bring anywhere from 22,400 to 25,800 new boardings each day, including 8,000 to 12,100 new passengers who currently aren't using the TriMet system.
'Everything gets more and more specific as you move on with the options,' said Metro public affairs specialist Karen Withrow. 'In this phase the design is really only about 5 percent of what we would need to build it.'
The agency and the Portland to Milwaukie Citizen Advisory Committee will have to make some big decisions in the coming months, according to Metro Councilor Robert Liberty. He said TriMet needs to have a final decision on a new bridge and route alignment by July to maintain the current construction schedule, which calls for the line's completion in 2015.
While the new bridge for the light rail will have the largest cost impact to the project, the bigger issue for Milwaukie residents is likely the alignment. When TriMet first held meetings on the Milwaukie light rail line in 2000, it developed a locally preferred alternative (LPA). This plan was finished in 2003. TriMet subsequently decided to move forward with the Clackamas Town Center line first, and revisited the LPA last year. The result is three routes that are being considered.
• The original LPA crosses over the Willamette River near the Marquam Bridge and links up with SE 17th Avenue, which it follows south to McLoughlin Boulevard. The line jogs eastward before McLoughlin's junction with Highway 224 and enters downtown Milwaukie, ending at Lake Road. The line can accommodate 1,475 parking spaces at three park-and-ride lots: one at Tacoma; one just north of Milwaukie; and one at the line's end. The total cost with inflation factored in is estimated at $1.25 billion.
Estimated new riders: 9,000 to system; 22,390 boardings on the new line.
• The LPA to Park Avenue option changes the line's terminus. Plans originally called for it ending at Lake Road near Kellogg Lake on a parcel that turned out to be deeded to Clackamas County to use as parkland. Thus, a newer version of the LPA was crafted that would extend down McLoughlin Boulevard to Park Avenue. This option allows for a bigger park-and-ride lot at the line's end, creating a total of 2,600 total parking spaces spread between three lots. The total cost with inflation is estimated at $1.42 billion.
Estimated new riders: 12,140 system-wide; 25,770 boardings on the new line.
• The newest alignment option is called the Tillamook branch. It follows the LPA's route to Tacoma Street before veering to the east and following the old Tillamook rail line into town rather than following McLoughlin Boulevard. The line was created due to business owners in the industrial area north of Milwaukie who thought this option would better accommodate their truck traffic. The line would eliminate the park-and-ride lot just north of Milwaukie, but the Tacoma lot, Park Avenue lot and a smaller lot at Lake Road would create spaces for 2,275 vehicles. The cost with inflation is estimated at $1.39 billion.
Estimated new riders: 11,330 system-wide; 24,660 boardings on the new line.
Liberty said extending the line to Park Avenue not only creates a higher number of trips, but more trips proportional to the extra project cost. He said the new line would have impacts beyond just moving people in and out of Milwaukie.
'There are not just a lot of new riders on this line, but there will be a lot of riders on the other lines as well,' Liberty said. 'Everyone who uses the system has more destinations. Having the south leg is important in building a system and looking ahead to the next generation; building the framework for the next 20 years.'
Liberty also pointed out that the increases in cost over old estimates are essentially functions of bookkeeping. The federal government now mandates that transit authorities break out their financing costs as a separate item on budgets.
There are still five options on the table for crossing the Willamette River, and each create changes in the number of people who will ride the light rail line. The option in the initial LPA was to cross on a cable-stayed bridge that would leave the west side just south of the Marquam Bridge. Other options connect either SW Meade or SW Porter with either SE Sherman or SE Caruthers. The development of Portland's South Waterfront area has partially driven the conversation about exploring those options.
There are a number of factors driving the bridge decision, and they're primarily technical or financial. Liberty said TriMet recently discovered that the crossing near the Marquam Bridge would require engineers to 'thread the needle' between two buildings, and may not be feasible for a bridge that will carry light rail, street cars, buses and pedestrians. In addition, the original LPA bridge was longer, which adds to the cost, since it can only be a cable-stayed bridge. The other options could potentially use a traditional bridge design. Liberty said engineers are also looking at timelines for different bridges, since work in the river is barred during certain times of the year due to salmon runs.
From an economic standpoint, a bridge options along SW Meade or SW Porter would help establish better transit access in the area, where there is already a streetcar line.
'At the time the LPA was being developed the plans for the South Waterfront were still being drawn up,' Liberty said. 'So part of what has changed is the massive scale of development compared to what it was before and the fact that there will be more people coming there as part of OHSU's campus expansion.'
The SDEIS also states that the new bridge configurations could add up to 1,500 new riders to the line.

Home > Services > The Birthplace > Frequently Asked Questions
We know you have a lot of questions about childbirth. We're committed to providing you the information you want and need to prepare for a safe, healthy birth. If your question is not answered on this page, please contact us.
Make preregistration part of your childbirth preparation by completing a Birthplace pre-registration form online. Your care provider will provide you with this form during one of your prenatal visits. Providing us with this important information in advance will expedite your admission to the BirthPlace. If you have any questions, call the Admitting Department at (336) 538-7420.
Ask your health care provider how to know when to come to the hospital and whether you should contact the physician/midwife before coming. If you are coming to the BirthPlace for any scheduled appointment and you have preregistered, you should park in the visitor's parking lot and use the visitor's entrance. Take the elevator to the third floor. If you have not pre-registered or you are coming for an emergency or other nonscheduled visit, come directly to the Emergency Department for assistance
Visitation in the BirthPlace is restricted to the patient's support person and two other visitors to provide relief for that support person. This may be amended at the discretion of the nurse or physician. Other family members and friends may stay in an alternative waiting area to await the birth.
Many people like to photograph or videotape their new baby right after birth. Discuss with your support person what kinds of photos you want. We will make every effort to grant your wishes. When you arrive at the BirthPlace, discuss your plans with the nurses and the physician or midwife caring for you. For safety, tripods, freestanding lights, and electrical cords cannot be used. Video cameras must be battery operated. The hospital staff will show you a safe place from which to photograph in the delivery room.
Visiting hours in the BirthPlace are 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. To protect all babies, we ask that only healthy people who are feeling well and have not been exposed to communicable illnesses in the past two weeks visit. When there is widespread illness in the community, visiting rules may change. We recommend that you have only two visitors in the room at any time, so you have time to rest and learn about caring for your baby. An adult, other than the mother, must stay with children under 12 years old at all times.
The safety of you and your baby our highest priority. The BirthPlace and Women's Care Center is equipped with an electronically monitored infant security system as well as surveillance cameras and alarms. Your nurse will tell you about our infant security system and the special identification worn by hospital personnel who are allowed to transport your infant to and from your room. You are encouraged to always question anyone you do not know who comes in your room or asks about your baby.
At Alamance Regional we provide couplet care. This means that one nurse is responsible for caring for you and your baby. This also means that your baby may stay in your room (room-in) as much as you wish. Our nurses are specially trained to care for both mother and baby, and they are available to help you learn how to care for your baby during your entire stay. Also, if you are unable to care for your baby or you need a break to rest, our newborn nursery is always open with nursing staff to take care your infant.
Our certified lactation consultants offer all mothers a free breastfeeding consultation and are available to help you while you are in the hospital. In addition, our registered nurses are educated in assisting with breastfeeding issues. After going home, personal consultations are available for a fee, or you can call lactation services for a telephone consultation at no charge. We also offer complete breastfeeding supplies for sale or rental.
Most babies are born healthy, but there are some health problems that are not always spotted at birth. Newborn screening is the best way to help identify and prevent serious health problems before your baby becomes sick. North Carolina requires all newborns to receive a simple blood test that checks for more than 30 conditions. The results of this screening will be sent to your baby's pediatrician. The state also requires a hearing test for all newborns.
The BirthPlace will send information to the North Carolina State Office of Vital Statistics for your baby's birth certificate. You can fill this form out online prior to your visit. A copy will be given to you for your records. After 10 days you will be able to get a certified copy of the birth certificate from the Alamance County Register of Deeds at 118 W. Harden Street in Graham. There is a small fee for a copy of the birth certificate.
In the hospital you will be asked if you want to have baby pictures taken. The pictures are provided by a private company. You will be shown samples of picture styles, given price lists and told how to order and pay for the pictures. The pictures are taken in the nursery and you have the option of viewing the pictures prior to making a decision. Your baby may be dressed in his or her own clothing or the traditional hospital t-shirt.
Most mothers and babies stay in the hospital 24 to 48 hours after vaginal birth or 48 to 96 hours after cesarean birth. Check with your insurance company prior to your hospital stay for any special information about your coverage. Your doctor or nurse midwife will decide when you will be discharged based on your condition, your baby's condition, and your insurance company coverage. Your nurse will discharge you with instructions for both you and your baby for follow-up care.
Following your delivery your learning needs will be assessed. During your hospital stay your nurses will instruct you on how to care for yourself and your new baby. Your doctor/midwife and your baby's doctor determine when each of you is ready for discharge. When you are ready to leave, you and your baby will be taken by wheelchair to the visitor's entrance of the hospital to meet your ride. Generally discharge time is before noon.
North Carolina law requires that children who are less than eight years old or weigh less than 80 pounds must be properly secured in a child restraint device. Additionally, car seats must be installed in the back seat of vehicles, or in vehicles with three rows of seats, should be installed in the middle row. Infants must be secured in their car seat in a rear facing manner. You must have a car seat that is correctly installed in your car and fits your baby to take your baby home. Car seats can be purchased at a number of area retailers. The Mebane and Burlington Fire Departments provide free child safety seat checks and installations; contact them directly for information.
Prior to your admission if you have questions about our services or if you need to find an obstetrician, feel free to call our LiveWell Line at (336) 586-4000. You can also register for one of our prenatal classes via the LiveWell Line.
Providing outstanding care is very important to the staff of the BirthPlace. We look forward to taking care of you and your family at this special time in your lives. Please feel free to speak with any of your nurses or care providers if you have any concerns about your care or your baby's care.

Hello all. I have a 2009 CC and i am having an issue with the reverse lights, fog lights and running lights not working. The brake lights and turn signal lights are working fine it's just the tail lights in the trunk that don't work. I have checked the fuses and they are fine. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?
try taking out the bulbs and spray the contacts with wd40 i did that and they worked after ..
I am having the exact same problem with my 2009 cc sport. changed all bulbs and noting. The truck also does not open at all. I have to manually open it. Dealer told me the wire harness must be broken?? what di you find out or how did you resolve the problem? Dealer wants $600.00 + help!!
hey Lou,
I reviewed the papers from the previous owner and he had the trunk wiring harness replaced at 30,000 miles. I have tested all the sockets and there is no power getting to them. i have one more mechanic that is going to look at it before i purchase another harness. I have a hard time believing that the harness needs to be replaced again so i am trying to check everything i can first in hopes that it is something simple. The dealer quoted me a huge price too so i am trying to avoid that. I will let you know what this other mechanic tells me. I am getting very frustrated at this problem.
The harness is notorious for breaking, ive done them as low as a few thousand miles.

Bastin, F, Cirillo, C and Hess, S (2006) Evaluation of advanced optimisation methods for estimating Mixed Logit models. Transportation Research Record, 1921. 35 - 43 . ISSN 0361-1981
The performances of different simulation-based estimation techniques for mixed logit modeling are evaluated. A quasi-Monte Carlo method (modified Latin hypercube sampling) is compared with a Monte Carlo algorithm with dynamic accuracy. The classic Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) optimization algorithm line-search approach and trust region methods, which have proved to be extremely powerful in nonlinear programming, are also compared. Numerical tests are performed on two real data sets: stated preference data for parking type collected in the United Kingdom, and revealed preference data for mode choice collected as part of a German travel diary survey. Several criteria are used to evaluate the approximation quality of the log likelihood function and the accuracy of the results and the associated estimation runtime. Results suggest that the trust region approach outperforms the BFGS approach and that Monte Carlo methods remain competitive with quasi-Monte Carlo methods in high-dimensional problems, especially when an adaptive optimization algorithm is used.

New York's Post-Bubble Future
"All of Bloomberg's mega-projects are now indefinitely delayed, victims, in part, of the credit crunch and the mounting municipal deficit. Even if he's elected to a third term, the mayor probably won't ever realize his grand vision for New York. And yet his legacy is already visible on the city's landscape. It is less sweeping, perhaps, but no less significant: he empowered the private sector to remake the city bit by bit."
"You don't have to be an architect or an urban planner to recognize how much the city was transformed along the way. Walk around most neighborhoods in Manhattan and many neighborhoods in the outer boroughs, and you will be confronted with new construction, whether the steel-and-glass condominium complexes that tower above the old factories and warehouses on the rezoned waterfront of Greenpoint and Williamsburg; the 43-story headquarters for Goldman Sachs that recently sprouted in Lower Manhattan (thanks, in part, to a generous financial incentive from the city); or the two virgin ballparks where the Yankees and Mets will soon open their 2009 seasons (with the help of big municipal tax breaks and an enormous infrastructure investment in the stadium's respective neighborhoods)."
"Since November, some $5 billion worth of development has been delayed or canceled. New York is again a city of abandoned lots, half-finished buildings and free-floating anxiety."
"The downturn will give New York a chance to pause and reflect on this period of hyperactive development, and to think about what sort of buildings it needs in the future."

What an uproar. Wow. And we knew it was going to happen as soon as this change was...finally...made.
Some of the response I read on twitter the other day in regards to this change...honestly....was embarassing. There's still way too many ignorant bullies out there. The past week really re-enforced that for me.
I just had my first son last month. He will be starting skating in 4 or 5 years. Who knows what kind of "size" he will have at the Pee Wee age...but...I'd like to believe that if he is below average size around that time...it won't be a death blow to his chances of HAVING FUN playing the greatest sport on earth.
I remember what it was like for me as a 1rst year Pee Wee. I was the best skater and the best stick handler on my team. It wasn't even close...and yet...as a smaller kid...I spent most of that year either sitting on the bench watching the much bigger 2nd year guys having all the fun...or...in the little bit of ice time I did get...I was really just out there trying to survive most of the time. It was honestly terrifying and it did VERY LITTLE for my skills or my self confidence to be playing "full contact" back then.
Even worse...I am certain the ability for the bigger stronger kids to intimidate & over power opponents simply with the advantadge of size...was something that really took away from THEIR skill development. Those kids ( and their parents) were disillusioned at where their development & ability curves actually were...and...5-10 years later...most of them were out of hockey or fading to the back of the pack on their respective teams.
I think...player safety MUST be the most important focus and I KNOW this has been something theyve considered and evaluated for a LONG time. It was talked about 20 years ago. Its not a "knee jerk decision". Not at all.
As for what it does or doesn't do in terms of skill development...its debatable. I acknoweledge this. But I think its worth a try. It will take some time to get the new system perfected...but...Im willing to give it a chance.
Hockey shouldn't be such a "tough game" for CHILDREN to play. That part of it can come later...much later.
