text: I just want to be able to install an XM radio without spending hundreds on the interface for my current stock stereo. A 08 has the option and from what I heard just needs an antenna and of course the subscription to get it working. I also don't know if a 08+ will fit in the location of my current one, nor do I know the type of adapter for the electrics.

No, that's not a misprint. The incredibly intelligent, although slightly whacked, team over at DriveWorks are making a movie. Glen Smith, CEO and co-founder, admitted that the idea came to be whilst indulging in a drink or five one night after work. Once they'd made the commitment, there was no turning back.
For those of us lucky enough to be invited to the event Thursday morning (meaning the Thursday after SWW), it was more than a just pre-screening. We were going to not only be able to see what they'd done thus far, we were going to be involved in more of the filming. That's right, yours truly is an extra in what is sure to be a blockbuster. I foresee Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, SAGs, the whole gambit. Ok, fine, they won't even qualify for a Razzie but that's not the point.
With Glen setting up the scenes, we were walked through a fictitious company's introduction to DriveWorks from DriveWorksXpress to the complete DriveWorks package. While the movie spanned the whole product line, the main focus seemed to be DriveWorks Solo, their newest product. A step below the complete package, DriveWorks Solo provides plenty of features to make it attractive to a wide swath of SolidWorks users. The interface is as simple as DriveWorksXpress that all SolidWorks users already have (2008 and up). Couple that with a powerful form designer and you end up with a simple way to automate your designs. They're so confident in this new product that they're offering up a free 30-day trial. Just go to www.driveworkssolo.com and sign up.
What makes DriveWorks Solo so powerful is that this incredibly intelligent team undertook the monumental effort of creating their own rules engine. One can't help but wonder if there wasn't a bit more drink involved in that particular decision as well, especially where it ended up taking 3 years to complete it. The results are obvious though. This new engine is capable of doing 20,000 calculations simultaneously in seconds. It's a pretty damn incredible feat, and quite apparent when running DriveWorks Solo.
While the rules engine is pretty compelling unto itself, there's more! How about multiple language forms? Pick your needed language and all forms will be created in said choice. The needed currency will also be included. Still not enough? How about pervasive search? Mini-wizard for every function? Accept/reject capabilities so some lame-brain idea by sales doesn't get crammed down engineering's throat. As soon as I get my system cleaned up, I'll be trying out DriveWorks Solo.
DriveWorks didn't stop there, though. They cleaned up DriveWorks Pro, too, making it more user friendly. The form mapping UI is much easier to navigate and provides a clearer picture as well. They even include ePDM integration. It would appear that the team at DriveWorks spent a lot of time thinking about the end user and how they interface with the products available. Quite honestly, I think they did an exceptional job.
The other thing that got me was the presentation itself. I enjoyed Glen's humor during it all. While it was a sales presentation, it didn't have that sort of vibe. What I took away from it, aside from insight into all of their offerings, was a company that was comfortable in its skin. They have a great product, know it's a great product, but aren't going to sit on it. They don't put on a false face, willingly act human and make you feel like you're more than just a customer. It wouldn't have surprised me if Glen had pulled out a few bottles of whiskey and asked us all to join him in a nip. I can't wait to see the complete movie once it's done.
My apologies for the delay of this post. Things have been rather hectic lately.
This goes out to anyone who attended my SolidWorks Crashes & Slowdowns presentation. I'm sorry. I just watched the video of my presentation and I'd have to say it was, without a doubt, one of the worst presentations I've ever seen. Even though I was nervous as hell, coupled with the fact that I couldn't view my notes, you, the attendee, deserved better. So it is to you, the poor attendees who sat through my rambling presentation, that I offer my apologies. I promise that I will do better in the future, should anyone ever allow me to speak again. If anyone reading this apology was at the aforementioned presentation, any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.
The one bright spot about this apology is that I think it applies to a lot fewer people than the apology I extended at SWW '09.
Many people, including me, were disappointed with the special event at SolidWorks World this year. It just seemed 'less' than years past. So, to satisfy my curiosity about the 'why', I reached out to Kerri Dunne. For those of you who don't know who Kerri is, she's the brains behind SolidWorks World. If you want to know more about her, you can read the interview I did with her last year.
I sent her some questions, and she kindly responded. Below is the email that will hopefully answer some of the why:
1. I already know that you pick the venues years ahead, due to the amount of planning involved, but how far ahead do you plan the where and what of the events?
We are booked until 2014, so at least 3-4 years in advance. We look at venues to see if they can accommodate the amount of people we expect, the amount of technical sessions we need, with room to grow. This year we added another Hands-on room, which allowed us to add 11 more hands-on sessions, which we know people want, We also scope out places for events like CSWP and the Special Event during the selection phase for venues.
2. Why was the special event so "scaled down" this year?
If you were in General Session on Day 1, you heard Jeff Ray say that we are still in a recession and at SolidWorks we had to make difficult decisions in order to not have any layoffs. With that being said, some areas of SolidWorks World were affected. Some not so apparent, but others, like the Special Event were a little more clear. To set the story straight, I've read some of the comments on the blogs about what we were going to do ect… we were not going to hire Santana for one. We were considering Disney or Knott's Berry Farm, but due to having to scale back, we chose to do something onsite. This did save money in terms of not having to transport thousands of people.
Now, I know there were comments on the layout of the event and when planning something from scratch you have to visual how people will move about the event. You are also limited to what the event hall can do as well, like the lighting for instance. Lights are set up in sections, not each individual light, so you have to pick and choose areas. Since we didn't want to do full lights up as that would be like walking though any hall, we did our best to do low lighting. What we could have done better was the lighting on the buffets, which I agree and mentioned during the event to add light. Unfortunately there was nothing we could do at this point and the convention center would not allow candles on the buffets due to fire hazard. In regards to the layout, we choose to place the cars in the back so we could do full lighting for people to see and also to move people through the venue. If we placed them cars in the front nobody would have walked through the hall and we would have had bottlenecking issues. For the band we wanted them in the middle for the sound to travel throughout the venue.
3. With regard to this year's special event, how was the decision reached to have a live rock band play versus some other form of entertainment (comedian for instance)?
From previous communications with the community, we know the group likes music and Aerosmith was a band that was repeatedly named. Now, I did look into getting Aerosmith for real, but at a cost of $1MIL++ – obviously way beyond my budget AND with the band broken up it wasn't a possibility. As for other forms of entrainment, a band is a good choice to go with, with a group this size as it provides background music or if you want to be entertained you can watch the band. There were people crowding the stage at the end of the night. They even made the band come out to do one more song. As for having other types of entertainment, to have something like a comedian would be difficult for a group our size.
4. In years past, there has been a much wider variety of food to choose from, why not this year?
The range of food wasn't too different than previous years. It just may have seemed more obvious due to the fact that everything was closer together.
5. Without stating hard numbers, can you estimate what percentage of the overall cost of hosting SolidWorks World is offset by attendee and vendor fees, as well as corporate sponsorships? This relates to how some feel "ripped off".
I know I feel bad that some said they felt like they were "ripped off". Without getting into specifics, I can say attendee fees and sponsorships cover less than half the cost of the event. Therefore, SolidWorks does take on a lot of the cost in order for this event to be held. This year we also wanted to be sensitive to the fact that we did have the special event onsite this year, so we reduce the guest fee for the special event to $50. It was difficult trying to find the areas to cut some items that were up for discussion were the giveaways like t-shirts and backpacks, or eliminated beer and wine, but knew that would be a huge issue. Therefore we had to cut elsewhere.
6. How big of an effect did the recession have on this year's SolidWorks World?
Although our total numbers were great, we did have a lot more people opting for the "Expo Only" pass (cost $199), which allows an individual to get into General Session and the Partner Pavilion only, versus the full conference pass which allows attendees access to everything- technical training sessions, meals, partner pavilion, general sessions, special event.
7. While I don't expect specifics, can we expect similar changes for SWW'11 in San Antonio?
We will see. It all depends on the economy. We appreciate everyone's feedback and will do our best in 2011 to make up for the areas that people felt were scaled back this year. Please let everyone know to fill out the post conference survey, which will go out this week to attendees, to provide us with more feedback. We want the feedback—good or bad! This is the SolidWorks community's event and we want to make it the best event for everyone as possible. Everyone at SolidWorks, including the Executive team, read this information and want to have the best event possible for the community.
On a side note, there are a lot of people who work on this event and as crazy as the event is everyone loves the event and pours their heart and soul into it to make it the best for the community. SolidWorks World is very special to all of us who work on it as we want to make it the best possible for the community. I can't stress that enough. It makes me sad when it is over as it seems to go so fast. We all love meeting up with the customers, resellers, members of the press, our partners and other colleagues. You put it best, it is like Christmas being over when it is done—all that planning for what feels like 1 hour of unwrapping and eating- then done!!
Thanks again for letting me share my thoughts.
Best regards,
I'm a few days behind on this, but 3DConnexion has improved the driver for their 3D mice (mouses?) by automatically determining the optical center of rotation. I was part of the beta testing of this driver and I really like what they've done. Rather than defaulting to the origin, or having to select a particular point manually, this new driver figures out what the "new" center of rotation is. Personally, I think it's pretty damn sweet. While I'd figured out how to rotate a model around the origin while zoomed in, it was still a pain in the you-know-what. This new driver takes care of that annoyance. Color me happy!
For your enjoyment, I've ctrl+c, ctrl+v'd the press release:
3Dconnexion Announces the Next Step in Intelligent 3D Navigation for SolidWorks Users
Newest Update Allows 3D Mice to Automatically Follow Point of Interest for Smarter Model Design Work
ANAHEIM, Calif. (SolidWorks World, Booth 201) – Feb. 1, 2010 – 3Dconnexion today announced new 3D mouse capabilities for SolidWorks, bringing increased navigation intelligence to the design process. With this new feature, 3Dconnexion 3D mice can now automatically follow a designer's point of interest and continuously determine the optimal center of rotation, enabling an easier and more intuitive exploration of the largest models and the smallest details. In addition, the center of rotation can now be seen at all times via an icon, further enhancing the navigation experience.
3Dconnexion will be demonstrating the new intelligent navigation feature in Booth 201 at SolidWorks World in Anaheim, Calif., Jan. 31 – Feb. 3, 2010.
"Previously, SolidWorks users had to zoom in fairly close and manually select a new center of rotation. We have listened to the feedback of our customers to provide designers with total control over the point of interest," said Dieter Neujahr, president of 3Dconnexion. "By automatically establishing and displaying the optimal center of rotation, designers are now free to focus on design creativity and flexibility when using 3D mice in SolidWorks."
When using the new update, two modes of setting the center of rotation are available. The new Auto Rotation Center sets the center of rotation to a point on the model that is nearest to the display screen center, particularly useful for use at higher zoom levels. For additional control, users can easily pick a new center of rotation point on the 3D model to suit the design task.
The new feature will be available in late February via a free 3DxWare software update, and will support SolidWorks 2005 – 2010 on Windows® XP, Windows Vista®, and Windows 7 across the entire product line. The 3Dconnexion product line includes the Professional Series with the new SpacePilot PRO (MSRP $399), SpacePilot™ (MSRP $299 with promotion) and SpaceExplorer™ (MSRP $299), and the Standard Series with the SpaceNavigator (MSRP $99) and SpaceNavigator for Notebooks (MSRP $129). For additional information, visit www.3Dconnexion.com.
About 3D Mice 3Dconnexion 3D mice deliver a level of comfort and control that is not possible with a traditional mouse and keyboard. Users engage both hands in a balanced and cooperative work style with one hand using the 3D mouse to position the model, while the other hand simultaneously uses the traditional mouse to select, create or edit. By spreading the workload across both hands, users experience productivity increases of more than 20
percent as well as a more comfortable working experience by reducing traditional mouse clicks by up to 50 percent.
About 3Dconnexion, a Logitech Company 3Dconnexion, a wholly owned subsidiary of Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI), is the leading provider of 3D mice for 3D design and visualization. 3Dconnexion devices support today's most popular and powerful 3D applications by offering users a more intuitive and natural way to interact with computer-generated 3D content. 3Dconnexion's award-winning 3D mice serve a wide variety of industries and are used by 3D designers, animators and artists worldwide. 3Dconnexion is headquartered in Fremont, Calif. with European headquarters in Seefeld, Germany and offices worldwide.

It's like it's the day after Christmas; all the toys have been played with, food and drink consumed and the relatives have left. Now, I just have this weird empty feeling. Not as bad as losing your best friend, though. Close, but…
As I've come to expect, SolidWorks put on a great show. I really liked the layout of the Anaheim Convention Center. I didn't feel like I had to walk miles to get to wherever my destination was. Which isn't to say I didn't do a lot of walking, 'cause I did. I'm quite confident that I lost a couple of pounds. Well, extremely hopeful anyway. As has become the norm these past few years, I spent more time observing than attending with most of my observing taking place in the Vendor Fair. It's here that I thank those companies that have given me the opportunity to try out their products, while meeting with new companies. The amount of partner products out there is pretty impressive. There are times when I want to say "there's an app for that", then look over my shoulder to be sure the Apple police aren't coming after me for copyright infringement. This year's Vendor Fair was well attended by vendors from all segments of the industry: rapid prototyping, CMM, CAM, PLM, PDM, etc. Need a model of a human body for your Weird Science experiment? Zygote has your back (and front…left foot). Design automation? DriveWorks or TactonWorks will duke it out for your business. How about a new computer? Boxx, HP and Dell will regale you with stories of why there PC kicks the other guys' butt! What about a cool 3D model of your completed Weird Science experiment? Zcorp, Objet or Solido would be more than happy to impart their wondrous knowledge of all that is 3D printing upon you.
One of the greatest things about SolidWorks 2010 was the arena where the general assemblies were held. Rather than a large conference room where the people in back had to stand to see, the Anaheim convention center had an arena with 2nd and 3rd level seating. I think this helped to get everyone "close" to the stage. It also seemed to lessen the running of people to get to the front of the venue. A lot of people seemed quite happy to sit in one of the upper levels. James Cameron was a great choice as the keynote, too. Much better than Wozniak a few years ago.
I'd say my biggest complaint was the Tuesday night event, a complaint that is being voiced by many. It was held in the same huge room that we ate breakfast and lunch in and was really a step down from previous years. An Aerosmith cover band was the entertainment and BBQ was the food. For a 3D software conference event, it was rather one dimensional. Too loud, too dark, too few seats, too few food choices. I'm trying to find out why there was such a deviation from years past. If I get anything, I'll let you know.
Would any of the above stop me from going to San Antonio next year? Hell no! I think the plusses way outweigh the negatives and wouldn't miss it for anything. I hope to see you there.
Wow, what a day its been; not that its actually over yet. I just returned to my room to relax a little bit before heading over to Jon Hirschtick's room. He was kind enough to invite the Twitterverse over and Im not one to turn down such an invitation.
Right now, this is turning out to be the best SolidWorks World I've been to yet. Why? Honestly I can't put my finger on why. Maybe it's the venue. Maybe it's the people. Maybe it's James Cameron. Maybe
All I know is that I've woken up each day raring to go. Looking forward to seeing what the day has in store. Part of it could be the fact that I've remained sober every night, but I think that's a small part of it. I've just felt really comfortable this year, almost like I'm at home. Whatever it is, I'm lovin' it!
Let's get into the nitty-gritty, shall we? Today was the day for James Cameron. Much like Sir Richard Branson last year, Jim was interviewed instead of just speaking to us. Jon Hirschtick had the honor and did a damn fine job. I was simply amazed at Cameron's grasp of engineering, among other things. The guy is brilliant. We got to see an 8-minute behind-the-scenes video of the making of Avatar. I was really impressed with the technology they used. Each actor had a small camera, attached to a small boom, recording their every facial move. I remember talking about how realistic the facial expressions where after seeing the movie, now I know why. The innovations that were created before, and during, the making of Avatar will probably change movie-making, as well as TV. I think it will be a good thing. Imagine being able to feel immersed in every show like you did when you saw Avatar. If you haven't seen it, what the hell are you waiting for?
I spent more time in the vendor pavilion, lining up more products to review for all of you. Coming in the not-too-distant future will be DriveWorks Solo and ElecWorks. Ill be meeting up with SolidNEST tomorrow to, hopefully, line something up with them as well. Ive had conversations with the guys from igetit.com and will be loading up their software soon as well. I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that Dell might be sending toys my way, too. All-in-all, the review cycle looks to be heating up.
My very first solo presentation went well, I believe. I'm optimistic that SolidWorks Crashes & Slowdowns was well received. I was damn nervous at the beginning, and admitted as much to the audience which, by the way, was much larger than I'd thought it would be. The session was also on a live feed, so there were people watching me that I couldnt see. (Hmmm, thats actually kind of creepy when you think about it.)The bonus to it being broadcast is that I'll get a recording of my session. I'm sure my boys will love watching it with me once I get it. It'll provide plenty of material for a pick-on-dad session.
Next came Stump the Chumps II. So far, we've been hearing nothing but good things so far. However, I'm waiting for Mr. Doyle to weigh in. We're also thinking of a format change for STC III. It'll involve coolers of beer and the movie Animal House. I dont want to give up all the details though. Just keep an eye out when they release next year's agenda.
Every year there's plenty of shwag to bring home to the kids. I have to say, though, that this year's haul is the best yet. First, Ill never be short handed again thanks to Solido:
Next, from Julie at Z Corp, is my new friend, Jane:
Today is the last day of SolidWorks World 2010. Bummer.
Ok, first and foremost, contrary to what Josh may have said via Twitter, I was not taking shots every time 'Cloud' was mentioned. I just want to get that out of the way.
Now for the good stuff…
5000+ attendees at SolidWorks world this year. That is an awesome number! A surprising one, too. Given the economy, one wouldn't have thought that SWW attendance would exceed last year's. Very impressive.
Jeff Ray started things off, as usual. He then introduced Bernard Charlčs, Dassault Systemes' CEO, who talked about Dassault, how the acquired SolidWorks and where the company is going. If his vision comes true, life for designers will be very different come 2021.
Jeff then brought up Jeremy Luchini and the guy from Prototype this (my note taking abilities suck). They built an electric 1933 roadster! It is, in a word, awesome! I'm going to try to lay out some bribes to take it for a spin around the convention center. How many electric cars do you know of that can bust out tire burning donuts? Awesome!
It was time for a sneak peek into the future and what did we see? Well, what I saw was my presentation being obsoleted right before my eyes. Here I am, nervous as hell to do this presentation on how to maintain your hardware and drivers, and SolidWorks is looking at moving to the cloud. That's right, the cloud. That means any computer, any OS. It's years away, but it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. Right now, I see bandwidth being a huge issue.
The session ended with James McLurkin, roboticist extraordinaire. This guy, like me, makes being a geek cool. He's one of the top robot guys in the world and is doing some amazing stuff with them. He did allay the fears of robots ever taking over the world. Not sure if that's good or bad.
It's actually Tuesday right now. I had nothing but problems getting this post done yesterday. Today I have two presentations. Frankly, I'm nervous as hell. Depending on how they go, I may be quite hungover tomorrow.

mast wiring
we rewired the mast on my CL Richards Offshore 38 (1980) a couple months ago. it started as a mystery: the wiring does not go up through the central cavity, which is blocked anyway just short of the steaming light. wires are run in a separate wood channel, and apparently are bundled. none could be pulled out. HOWEVER, we managed to run a snake up to steamer light outlet, spreader lights outlet, and up to mast head outlet, and left a messenger line each place after sending up new wires. steamer light was a sharp bend, this hard to be enlarged slightly. clam shell opening at spreaders/mast head both revealed tiny outlets through the wood staves. these had to drilled larger -- but this makes later access with the messenger easy. now if i choose to send a new wire up to the head it can be done with messenger while aloft. btw, the fore stave on the foot had 6 inches of rot -- but this was an easy and secure patch, quite as strong as original. rest of mast after stripping and sanding was perfectly sound without any indication of delamination. a fine spar that should last another 30 years...
When I wooded my OS 33 masts I decided to rewire the main. To make a long story short, Yikes! They are not coming out of there. I tried to gun-drill the mast with a 1/2 drill bit welded onto a 30' length of steel rod, and it wouldn't go, even with three guys pushing on it.
I gave up and took the core out of a double braid rope and ran the 6 wires and the wind instrument cable through it. I ran it up the mast secured with little bronze loop eyes. It looks like a halyard.
I have heard (over on the Cheoy Lee forum) of others with this same problem, and I have yet to hear of anyone who successfully got the wires out of the mast. I think they put gobs of resorcinol in the wireway when they were building the masts in Hong Kong.
Best Regards,
Cheoy Lee Wood Mast Wiring Problem
I have a 1978 Cheoy Lee 38 ketch with the wood masts and encountered the very same problem. From talking to other owners in the area I believe that Cheoy Lee installed wire routing blocks inside the masts when they were being constructed in Hong Kong, creating a problem for those of us trying to change out wiring, post-production. I, too, was unable to re-wire my mast with new wires, including the installation of radar cable. So, I did the next best thing, which was to install 3/4 inch PVC tubing along the rear quadrant of the main mast and run my wires into the cabin to that way. Suprisingly, the tubes are almost invisible to the casual eye and do not interfere with sail or halyard function. The only other alternative would be to dry dock the boat, unstep the mast and hollow out the wiring cavity (top and bottom). Perhaps next year, but at the moment the PVC is doing the job.

Richards 32 masthead light
I have a 1979 Richards ketch with the original wood mast. My problem is
that the mast head light wire going through the mast is no good and needs to be replaced. I tried to run new wire but the old is stuck, I'm thinking that it may have a screw through it. My question is, has anybody had this problem? What did you do? Does anybody know how large the space is with in the mast? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you'

SVT to 13 ST2 Seats
I'm looking to swap out the seats in my 02 SVT (leather with cloth inserts) and have fallen in love with the Recaro seats in the 2013 Focus ST2 package (again leathers with cloth inserts). Does anyone know if this is a doable plan or, if not, have any suggestions for what seats to look into?
It probably is double, but probably going to be a lot cheaper if you went with some aftermarket seats of some sorts
+1 for aftermarket seats...
thought of this to.. i love those seats
Look at some aftermarket companies which do custom work.
The seats you want will cost you $4,000. to $6,000.
(Is your whole car worth $6K??)
So get over it. Unless you can arraange to have a ST totalled without damaging the seats (airbags) and then be able to buy them off the junked car ...
Really, find some pro custom place. i am certain they can do seats similar enough to satisfy you. (If you have the cash)
No one is going to be able to duplicate them for anything under a few grand.. and if you want all four....
Or you can get some crook to steal a ST and you got your seats.. and some jail time waiting when someone SEES them in your ride and puts two and two together....
Or find the 04 SVT Recaro seats that were standard in the Orange and Yellow SVTs.
Same feel and same company. ... plus the brackets are the same.
Easier swap ... if you can find them.
Based solely on the production numbers of the Euro SVT's only about ~2000 sets of the black recaros were ever produced. [bawling]
Or just buy a new st???

New Metron of Greenville administrator proceeds with facility's goals
GREENVILLE — Metron of Greenville's new administrator aims to reach new goals, which includes being involved in the community to raise awareness about Metron.
Deb Gomez was hired in to fill the interim administrator position in February. In June, her interim title was lifted and she was named the director of administration at Metron in Greenville.
"It's great working at Metron," Gomez said.
Gomez comes from a nursing background and spent four years as a consultant with Pathway Health before becoming interim administrator earlier this year.
Because she is coming from outside of Metron, Gomez is able to bring new knowledge to the table to help make Metron that much better.
"I believe with her background and experience it will put us on the next level," said Maria Robertson, community relations coordinator for Metron of Greenville and Belding.
Recently, Robertson said Metron added a new director of nursing along with a director of respiratory, which also adds great knowledge to the team to raise the standards.
"We have the best leaders who are the smartest in the business and are behind us 100 percent," Gomez said.
Through her job, Gomez oversees departments making sure everyone is doing their job effectively and efficiently, along with ensuring funding for programs.
Some of the goals she continues to work on include improving customer service, improving survey scores and increasing community awareness.
"Our nurses are highly skilled," Gomez said, noting their hard work.
She said the nurses are always undergoing continuous education.
Something she is looking forward to is seeing these goals play out since being a part of the development when she first started.
"I look forward to seeing them through from start to finish," Gomez said.
When it comes to informing the community about what Metron has to offer, Gomez said they are planning different events to bring local community members to the facility.
Events such as car shows and ice cream socials are just some things Gomez said they are doing to bring Metron and the community together.
Gomez is also looking into partnering up with the local Emergency Medical Services and the Department of Public Safety to run a disaster test just to see how ready the facility is if something where to happen.
Upcoming community events at Metron …
• 2 p.m., Friday, ice cream social.
• 2 p.m., Aug. 10, pinning ceremony.
• 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Aug. 24, community picnic.

Toshiba says suing Western Digital for $1 billion
TOKYO Japan's Toshiba Corp said on Wednesday it is filing a lawsuit against joint venture partner Western Digital Corp .
LONDON The London Stock Exchange (LSE.L) may not complete its 600 million euro ($767.5 million) purchase of European clearing house LCH.Clearnet this year as expected, its chief executive has warned.
Announcing flat profits of 217.2 million pounds in the first half, Xavier Rolet refused to say the takeover of LCH would complete this year despite the group having earlier said it expected this to happen.
"We are in conversations with LCH and the authorities and we'll have to see what they decide. I can't speculate on the outcome or the timeline," Rolet said on a phone call.
The LSE wants LCH because the clearing house would reposition the British exchange to move aggressively into derivatives ahead of regulatory plans to overhaul this market.
Clearing houses, which sit between trading firms, insuring them against losses in the event of a counterparty default, have taken on greater importance since the collapse of Lehman Brothers four years ago.
Regulators want to force more trading through such vehicles to help guarantee smoothly functioning markets even at times of stress.
The LCH deal was agreed by shareholders of both sides in April, leaving it only needing regulatory approval to go through, something the LSE has said it expected to happen in the fourth quarter of 2012.
But the terms of the acquisition were called into question by analysts in September when the European Commission proposed rules for clearing houses that would, if passed, leave LCH needing to boost its regulatory capital by more than 300 million euros.
The aim of this would be to bolster LCH's own position, but it could also eat into the returns it generates.
"The group is in discussions with LCH.Clearnet regarding ... the measures LCH.Clearnet is exploring to ensure it can continue to deliver an acceptable return on its capital," the LSE said in a statement on Friday.
Analysts believe Rolet could look for more drastic cost-cuts at LCH and a change to the profit-sharing agreements with shareholders, in a bid to claw back the money the LSE will need to put up as capital if the deal goes through.
Rolet said on Friday the LSE would update the market on the outcome of these talks "in due course".
"Regulatory changes in clearing means the LSE needs to look at the LCH.Clearnet deal in light of higher clearing house capital requirements," said Richard Perrott, an analyst at Berenberg Bank.
Analysts say the extra capital requirements on LCH, which the clearing house estimated at between 300 million euros and 375 million, may hold the LSE deal up but it will go through.
"The surprise capital call for LCH has by implication raised the acquisition price for the name, but we still believe the transaction has strategic merit," said Daniel Garrod, an analyst at Barclays (BARC.L).
The British exchange agreed to pay 600 million euros for 60 percent of LCH in March, with LCH's existing bank shareholders keeping the remaining 40 percent.
Rolet said on Friday he still expected to secure the backing of the two remaining authorities - the British and Portuguese competition agencies - before the end of the year.
The chief's comments came as the group reported results for the six months to the end of September. It said in a statement a 19 percent fall in capital markets revenue to 129.7 million pounds was partly offset by a 25 percent improvement in net treasury income to 68.1 million pounds from its clearing business.
Group revenue rose 7 percent to 349.8 million pounds, boosted by the acquisition of the FTSE index business late last year.
LSE shares were down 0.3 percent at 927.5 pence by 1123 GMT, while the FTSE 100 index .FTSE was down 0.6 percent.

TOKYO Japan's Toshiba Corp said on Wednesday it is filing a lawsuit against joint venture partner Western Digital Corp .
LONDON/ZURICH Nestle plans to buy back as much as 20 billion Swiss francs (16.22 billion pounds) worth of shares over three years, it said on Tuesday, days after U.S. activist shareholder Third Point LLC began a campaign to boost performance at the company.
BRUSSELS/FRANKFURT Beyond a headline-grabbing 2.4 billion euro (2.1 billion pounds) fine EU antitrust regulators have levelled against Google, the internet giant is likely to be shackled for years by Tuesday's precedent-setting decision defining the company as a monopoly.

well maintained villas as there are two properties
I am sorry about the hot water issue but pleased that it was sorted out swiftly. I am also very happy for the vote of confidence on staff who not only manage the villas but ensure our clients have a memorable experience. Thank you again David and needless to say that it would be a delight to be of assistance again in the future.
Best wishes,
About the Owner
About Wendy Llloyd Jones
Born,raised and educated in Bristol in UK I now live in a small village in the outskirts of the city. Married with 2 daughters both my husband and I work in the medical fields.
Alice my eldest secured a 1st in Mphys in 2013 and is now doing Phd in Physics and Hannah the younger one is reading Law.
I holidayed in Mauritius in the year 2000 and fell in love with the country and the people, hence our investment in this little paradise. Designed and built to our specification the villa provides comfort, space, peace and tranquility with a touch of luxury. Kitted to a high standard it feels like home away from home which is reflected and supported by many of our guests reviews.
And yes, my husband refers to Mauritius and the villa as his stress-busting therapeutic paradise!
Wendy Llloyd Jones purchased this villa in 2002
Why Wendy Llloyd Jones chose Mauritius North Coast
Having chosen Mauritius to invest in, we intentionally built the villa some 10/15 minutes walking distance from the Beach.
This decision was borne from experience gained in year 2000 when we stayed in a Beach villa. It then came to light that all the Beaches in Mauritius are public and the all-night parties were rather tiresome and a nuisance to say the least.
We feel we have the best of both worlds! A short walking distance to the Beach yet far enough to provide peace and tranquility for a relaxing holiday.
What makes this villa unique
- Peaceful area.
- Private tropical gardens.
- Big private swimming pool.
- Large villa that engenders the wow-factor.
- Views for miles from the balcony.
- First class service.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We stayed at Pendene villa for two glorious weeks, this OCT/NOV 2015.
It was all it promised to be, spacious, airy and well equipped, with a lovely pool right outside. Lots of sun beds for use by all staying there.
We were handsomely looked after by Garçon and Baby, they booked our trips, took us to the best shops and restaurants and even cooked delicious meals and treats for us occasionally.
Our favourite trip was the boat trip to ile aux cerf, closely followed by the trip to a nature reserve called isle aux aigrettes. In fact we enjoyed everything we did, it's hard to choose the best day.
We enjoyed many beach front bars at Peryebere and Grande Baie but our favourite restaurant was Le Pecheur.
I would recommend this holiday/villa to all friends and family, ideal for families and adult groups alike.
We hired a car for the two weeks and had a lot of use out of it, also, it is good to remember that the reason this island is so green and lush, is because it does get rain, but still nice and warm, even when it does.

well maintained villas as there are two properties
The owner Raj and Wendy were very helpful. We stayed in the adjoining villa and felt very welcome. The properties were well kept, clean and Garcon and Baby who manage the property are fine people, fair and very helpfull. We enjoyed our stay very much, there was at times some hot water issues however Garcon sorted this out for us. Baby is available at all times including their sons who were ready to help and advice. We have no doubt that we will return again, and recommend this villa with high regards to our friends and family. A personal note to say thank you to baby, garcon and sons.
Fantastic villa!
Myself and 10 of my family members (age range 14 months - 88 years old) rented out Pendene villa for 3 weeks over the New Year period. I was initially quite apprehensive about renting out a private villa as I normally stay in hotels whenever I go away. However, my fears were all unfounded as Wendy made the whole booking process absolutely seamless. She was very quick to respond to any queries - no matter how small. The villa itself took our breath away when we arrived after travelling for nearly 20 hours. I can only think of the words "grand and beautiful" to describe. It was very airy and light throughout. And so very spacious. We never felt crowded, even though we were quite a big group. Bebe and Garcon had made sure the villa was clean and we all had clean towels on arrival. Make sure you ask Garcon to book your trip to Ile aux Cerfs for you - as we were not disappointed!
Location wise - it is a nice walk from Pereybere beach (about 20 minutes) and same for Super U. It's a very quick drive to the local amenities. Taxis are quite cheap in the area, so it's not a problem.
All in all, I would recommend Pendene Villa (or the villa behind Pendene) 150%. You won't feel like you have missed out on any luxuries by not staying in a hotel!
Beautiful staircase
We rented the villa for a pre wedding celebration and it served the purpose well. It is clean , spacious and well maintained. 11of us stayed there and we still had plenty of room to ourself too. Beautiful Perebere beach is a short walk . The swimming pool is also great.
The care takers are very helpful as well as welcoming . They really made us feel at home . All prior arrangements made by the owner was just perfect .
I would recommend the place to my nearest and dearest.
The return home, a special holiday.
First of all the paperwork and ease of arranging the much planned holiday was very straightforward due to Wendy's ability to listen.
The villa was as described regarding the location that I wanted, away from too much bustle and suited our needs. The villa was grand, the rooms, a luxury! The pool was just a delight to my grandchildren, they forgot their tablet!
The property was clean and well maintained by Mohan and his wife Anita and they were always ready to assist us with anything: shopping, direction, information and advise on places to visit even posting last minute postcards. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. Anita even provided us with an occasional vegan dish for a vegan daughter.
I certainly will recommend the property to my relatives and friends.
As Mauritius is my country of origin we moved around the island visiting friends and relatives and apart from food shopping did not stay in the area for the majority of activities and dining out but the grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed the beach and did some bird watching too.
It was a great holiday for all and always good to come home to the villa for a comfortable night sleep.
So many thanks Wendy for your superb villa.
Pure paradise!
The villa is beautiful set in a lovely quiet area on a road with few neighbours. We arrived to a lovely warm welcome from Baby and Garçon who look after the villa and the guests impeccably and were on hand whenever we needed them. Garçon even let me use his motorbike one day! There are palm trees in the gardens, a lovely pool at the back of the villa and a large outdoor dining area where we enjoyed days and evenings relaxing with drinks and bbq's! The villa itself is amazing. As we entered through the large double doors into a huge entrance lobby we couldn't believe how big yet homely the place was! There is a grand staircase and doors to a bedroom, huge beautifully furnished lounge/dining room, large kitchen with large dining table a utility room with amazing top loading washing machine (which was a god send!) and a wc/shower room. Upstairs is equally grand with 1 huge gorgeous master bedroom with en-suite and amazing sloping ceilings and 2 or 3 more really large bedrooms (there were only 4 of us so can't remember exactly!) all of the rooms have access out onto a balcony overlooking the garden and pool. And there is another wc/shower room! We really couldn't fault a thing. Baby and garçon helped us to plan some amazing days out through their contacts at really great prices and as their guests we were treated like royalty! One day we went on a catamaran trip to explore an island where we had drinks and lunch cooked for us! We swam in the sea and snorkelled, they provided snorkels-we were even taken out on a little motor dinghy to see sea turtles swimming which was absolutely unforgettable! They also helped my family arrange a private catamaran trip for my birthday just the four of us where we watched the sun set whilst sipping champagne, again truly magical! We hired a car for the 2 weeks we were there (with the help of Baby & Garçon) and we really explored! There is so much to see on such a small island! We swam in waterfalls, visited countless paradise beaches (there are plenty in walking distance) went to a wildlife/safari park where we zip lined across gorges, walked around the incredibly vibrant capital, went horse riding, took in some history at a beautiful old colonial estate, experienced some amazing horse racing and meditated at beautiful Hindu temples to name but a few things we enjoyed!!! Honestly, at every restaurant we ate the food was good, in most cases it was exceptional and the street food is delicious everywhere! (Dohl purée a must!)
Spacious Holiday Villa
This villa is a nice change from the normal small holiday apartments. This villa is just space, space and more space. The rooms are huge, the kitchen, dining room and lounge are also. It has a great outdoor entertainment area by the large pool. The house has everything you need to enjoy your holiday. The TV could be a bit bigger as it gets a bit lost in the huge lounge. However we only spent an hour or two watching movies, so not a big deal. If you are stuck inside for a couple of days because of a cyclone, it may be a problem.
The caretaker, Garcon, and his wife are very friendly and helpful although you need to be a little wary of his referrals to restaurants. Pretty sure they up the prices a fair bit and he takes a nice cut.
The house is about 1.6 km from the Pereybere public beach. Don't get stuck at this beach though, as the beaches 5 to 10 minutes' drive up and down the coast are fantastic.
From the Owner
"Having chosen Mauritius to invest in, we intentionally built the villa some 10/15 minutes walking distance from the Beach. This decision was borne from experience gained in year 2000 when we stayed in a Beach villa. It then came to light that all the Beaches in Mauritius are public and the all-night parties were rather tiresome and a nuisance to say the least. We feel we have the best of both worlds! A short walking distance to the Beach yet far enough to provide peace and tranquility for a relaxing holiday."

European events as strong as any in world: Tour chief
(Reuters) - Europe's economic plight has not affected the continent's premier golf circuit and the tour still has some of the best events in the world, chief executive George O'Grady said on Tuesday.
The European Tour is increasingly spreading its wings beyond Europe to the Far East in terms of venues and O'Grady is full of optimism for this season despite the move to the U.S. PGA Tour of top performers like world number one Rory McIlroy.
"We have a lot of great tournaments on our schedule in 2013 and we have certain periods of the year where we have groups of tournaments that are as strong as any in the world," O'Grady told the tour website (www.europeantour.com).
"We have had a very challenging five-year period but part of the reason we have managed to retain a lot of our biggest sponsors is the fact the European Tour is a tremendous product for someone looking to spend their sponsorship or touristic dollars."
The tour is poised for a three-week Middle East swing after this week's 2013 opener, the Volvo Golf Champions in South Africa, before visiting countries like India, South Korea and China over the next 11 months.
The first event to be played in Bulgaria, the World Match Play Championship in May, is another highlight for a tour which has been battling against the Eurozone crisis.
"Through our television platforms in key markets, as well as making our events as good as they can possibly be, we bring visibility and credibility. We have had great success in many countries as a result of that," said O'Grady.
"In Ireland, Scotland and Portugal the golfing tourism numbers are growing again.
"You see that in a lot of the countries we visit across the world and I think it shows that if you can get the structure right then we can face the future with optimism." Continued...

Hi All, It's so encouraging and informative reading all your posts. Thank you so much to you all. About a year after my second baby was born I stopped breastfeeding and I became very depressed when my breasts turned into empty flaps. My Dr suggested implants and so I had my BA. That was 1989 and they were brilliant – boosted my confidence immensely. In 2001 I had CC and had an explant... READ MORE

|Snickers, you will be missed. We love you!
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know from your post, that Snickers was well loved. I hope you are able to find some joy during this Thanksgiving holiday. My thoughts (and hugs) are with you.
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate them very much.
So very sorry for your loss. Reading your post brought back all of the feelings that I had from losing my own furry child in April. His name was Harry Dog, and he was the love of my life for may years. Remember all that Snickers brought you. My heart goes out to you as you grieve.
I too am sorry for your loss. I understand how you felt about your dog. The bring such joy to our lives and it is very hard to let them go. Thanks for your kind words.
So sorry for your loss! 🙁 Last year right before Thanksgiving our pet bird passed away. It was so very difficult to be thankful and cheerful that year so I know how you feel. It is so difficult to say goodbye when a pet becomes part of your family and your life. Everything you do seems to involve them so life seems so empty once they are gone.. It will take time to feel someone normal again. Again, sorry for your loss Beth!
You are right, our animals become members of our family and are such an integral part of our lives. My other dog is a bit out of sorts, not knowing where Snickers has gone. We are watching my brother's dog this week, and that has been a good distraction for her. I'm sorry about your loss as well. It sure is hard when it happens during a holiday season.
Thank you for your heartfelt comment. I do appreciate it.
I can totally relate to your experience. We adopted a stray whom we named Angel. She was with us for about 5 years and became sick. I too, was sitting on the floor with her in my arms in the vet's consult room when she took her last breath. On the way home through tears streaming down my face, I had the most amazing experience!!. All of a sudden, I had a vision of her as a younger, healthy dog running through this beautiful green field. I then knew without a doubt that wherever she was, she was very happy.
I'm new to your blog. Thank you for the very interesting pizza idea.
I am so sorry Beth 🙁 I remember when you first got Snickers – so hard to believe it was 14 years ago. It feels like just yesterday.
Thanks Erin:) It is hard to believe Snickers was just a puppy when you were working for me. Time goes by so quickly. We have to savor every wonderful moment. I just stopped over at your blog and left a comment. I didn't know you had a blog, nor did I know about your loss. I am so sorry.
My deepest sympathies on the loss of your beloved Snickers. I'm typing with tears in my eyes as I recall how we played out that exact same scenario with our beloved Zeus this past June. He was 13) You don't know me from Adam, but I whole heartedly feel your pain!
Thanks you for taking time to send your condolences. I feel very connected with my readers even though I don't know most of them personally, but it's so nice to read all of the kind comments. Our pets become such a big part of our lives that there is a whole once they are gone. I understand your pain and am so sorry for your loss of Zeus.
Bonjour… Chère Beth, je suis désolé pour votre perte de Snickers, mes pensées vous accompagne et je vous souhaite beaucoup de courage.
Magnifique !!! Les pizzas feuilles végétariennes ont de très jolies couleurs.
Merci pour toutes vos recettes.
Bonne fête de Thanksgiving !!!!!!
Merci. Je vous remercie pour vos aimables paroles.
I'm so sorry for your loss! I lost my dog 3 yrs ago and she was almost 14 yrs old! It's very hard I know. When she was outside there was someone always coming over and patting her. She had to be put to sleep! She got cancer in the leg and gave her meds and it was cured! Then this woman took her for a walk (didn't ask) came back crying! A dog ran out of a house and bit her twice! Once in the neck and in the leg where she had cancer! The guy couldn't control his dog! She was all happy going to the vets and I know she thought she would be cured again. That was the worst summer ever but now she's up in heaven and not suffering! So even though your suffering terribly she was family for 14 yrs and not only 7 yrs. Right? That's the way I deal with it!
Hugs and prayers to you and your husband. I hope your pain subsides alot sooner than later. Your dog was a very pretty dog and looked very happy too.
Hi Jan, I am so sorry for what you experienced in the end with your dog. My dog was attacked twice by the same dog in our neighborhood, and aside from his death, those attacks were the worst thing I've had to go through with a pet. I'm more afraid of other dogs than I ever imagined I could be. I don't trust a dog, unless I trust the owner. I can't imagine having someone come into my yard and just take my dog for a walk.
He did suffer in the end, and seeing him like that was just awful. I watched as he fell asleep peacefully and took comfort in the fact that he no longer felt pain. I know he will always be with us in spirit. His time on this earth brought us great joy and that is what I will remember.
I appreciate your hugs and prayers and send them back to you.
So sorry to hear about Snickers. Your memories bring up similar experiences I had with one of my beloved dogs. I hope you keep your fond memories close…
Thank you Patricia. It's hard right now to focus on the good memories, as the vision of him suffering in the end is so strong, but I'm seeing flashes of him playing in the yard, sitting in the sunbeam in our bedroom, and sleeping spread eagle on the floor. Those moments make me smile. I'm sorry too for your loss and appreciate your kind words.
Beth, I am so sorry to hear about Snickers. I have a 7 y/o Yorkie(the 1st dog I ever had!!) I NEVER understood the "connection" between dog owners and their pets' until I got my dog!! I can't imagine losing him; he has become my 3rd child!! Thank G-d, I don't have to go through Pre-school, homework or Science fair with this child! My 2 "biological" children are in their 20's.
I hope you get some comfort spending time with family for Thankgiving.
Happy Holiday!!!
Thank you Karen. I know some people who don't have dogs don't understand the connection, but it is intense, especially when, like me, you don't have children of your own. I got Snickers one month before I met my husband, so we've been together through a lot. A dog's unconditional love is truly an amazing thing. I hope your Yorkie stays healthy and happy for a very long time. Give him a big hug for me.
It's always hard to lose someone you love..but during a time when you're usually celebrating it's even harder. Snickers was blessed with a family that loved him so much. Praying for you and your family as you go through this very sad time. I was with my sweet dog Smokie as she too passed..just a very short time after my dear Daddy passed. My heart breaks for you as I'm remembering that pain. Hope you all can find your smile as memories of Snickers come to mind…
I can only imagine the grief you felt with two such big losses in your life. I'm sorry for your pain, and understand it all too well. Thanksgiving has always been my husband's favorite holiday, I'm not sure it will be the same after this one. I'll be happy to be around friends and family tomorrow, and hope to laugh and find joy in the celebration. I've decided to put aside some of the work I planned to do in food preparations, just buy some things from the store, and spend the afternoon with my exchange student, my niece, my nephew, my husband, and some friends at Dave and Busters. We'll play games and enjoy some fun. I'm tired of crying and look forward to laughing and cheering today, instead. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
What a great way to get your veggies – super cute idea!
I know each day will bring you wonderful memories of Snickers. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thanks Kim:) I feel blessed to have met you through our blogs and am so glad to have such a wonderful caring friend in my life. Have a great Thanksgiving.
This is so so beautiful! Very happy I found it!
I would love to have you share this and/or any other recipe of yours at Wednesday Extravaganza – my Link Party with a special something. There is a pretty nice Giveaway going on this week too. Here is the link:
Can't wait to see you there!
Beth, my heart is just aching for you. I have known that pain as well. Animal lovers are beautiful, sensitive people. Snickers was a handsome dog and you made every moment of his life a happy one. Even his last was an unselfish act by you on his behalf. He is no longer suffering, and I believe with all my heart that he waits for a reunion with you in a place where there is no sorrow or tears! The life he had here was an enviable one and you gave him that gift.
I do believe that those of us who have pets know the wonder of unconditional love. I'm on my couch right now with my other sweet little dog curled up next to me. The warmth of her body comforts me and knowing I'll be reunited with Snickers someday, comforts me too. Thanks for your kind words.
I have just discovered your page. I am so, so sorry for your loss. We have two precious babies, Peppy, a poodle who will be 5 in March. Can't believe he's already that old, and little Trixie a rescue puppy who just turned 1 this month. Mom was a pregnant dump and drive. A man saw it and made a bed in a shed on his business property for her. When the two girls turned 6 weeks on 12/26 he rounded them up and took them to a shelter, trapped mom the next day and took her in. Sister was adopted the day before we rescued Trixie who had an upper respiratory infection at 8 weeks. Mom was trying to be rehabed but the lady who ran the rescue out of her home ended up keeping her. Putting our 19 yr old cat down was unbearable. I can't imagine life without either of them. Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. Kathy
You certainly have a kind heart. Sounds like Trixie and Peppy are very lucky to have found a place in your family. Time does go by so quickly. My other dog is five too, and I'm so glad we have her right now. I can't imagine how quiet our house would be without her here.
I'm glad you found Hungry Happenings, and I promise, most of my posts are upbeat and happy. I'll be back soon with a new project.
Snickers looks so beautiful in that photo! I understand your pain, we lost a dog last year and it was so hard on me. My daughter was with her when she died, and she told me that while she had been laying there for hours not moving, right as she took her last breath her legs started moving like she was running and had gone on to a world without pain. So that was a comfort to me. I love your leaf pizzas, they are so amazingly colorful, I thought it was candy when I first saw them! I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to follow your blog from the start, it's been so fun to see it grow!
Watching a dog suffer is heartbreaking, but for your daughter to have experienced the last moments with your dog and to have witnessed his last burst of energy, is pretty amazing. I'm trying to get the image of Snickers lying on the floor in the vets office out of my mind, and instead concentrate on all the wonderful images of his life, like the day I took the picture of him. We had just gotten our other dog, and they were running around our front yard, playing with toys. Snickers loved running and playing fetch, and I can see how excited he used to get. Those are the memories I'll cherish.
I'm glad you have been with me on this blogging journey. You were such a help to me when I first started, and I really appreciate that. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
I'm sorry for your loss, but I can imagine the wonderful life Snickers had at your house. My cats are definitely a part of my family and I feel very fortunate that each one has come to live with me. Here's to keeping the good memories foremost in our minds.
Thank you for the words of encouragement, Maryanne. Every day it is becoming easier to remember the time when Snickers was vibrant and full of life.
Losing that special friend is so hard to go through – I know how tough that is. Looking back on all the happy times you shared can help as time goes by.
You've made another fantastic food creation with this idea. Thanks for linking to Craftastic Monday at Sew Can Do:)
Thanks Cheryl. Snickers was a fun, energetic little guy when he was younger and those are definitely the memories I will cherish.
I am really really impressed! GREAT!!
Hi Beth, I am so so so sorry for your lost. I can't say that I understand your pain because I have never been through something like this. I hope you are doing better now.
Also, I would like to thank you for giving me the potty training tips. You have no idea how much I appreciate your help! I have been using your "special treat" tip for quite a few days now, and it's working!!! Thank you thank you thank you thank you and thank you again.
Hi Tiffany,
Oh, I'm so glad the training tip is working. It is the best advice I was every given in working with a puppy. I miss Snickers so much, but am grateful we still have another dog. That has made the transition a little easier. Enjoy Hunter while he is a puppy. Just like kids, they grow up so fast:)
Soo sorry for ur loss .i have a dog and my last one passed away it is just so sad .he died in 2008 but even in 2013 he brings tears to my eyes
Thank you Shifra. Losing a dog is so difficult. Snickers lives on in our hearts as I'm sure you dog does in yours. We have another dog, who also seems to miss her longtime companion. I'm grateful she is still with us.
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your dog. I know how we felt when we had to put our dog to sleep. No fun.
On a different note, the veggie leaves are gorgeous and would make anyone want to eat their vegetables. I've included this recipe and your recipe for cheesy crescent leaves in my unit study on autumn leaves. http://www.zujava.com/leaf-study
I understand how difficult it is to lose such a lovely family member. I know that eventually the sadness passes, and the warm memories remain. We're sending you warm thoughts and sympathy.
So very sorry for the hardship you have had to endure with having your 'Snickers' put to sleep. We too, have had many of our 4-legged children put to sleep, and none of them were without tears, sadness and heartache. Praying for you and yours during this very difficult time. God Bless and much sympathy, Lenn & Larry Pacheco <3
