June 2nd, 2008, 02:43 PM #1Swingin' for the fences...
I couldn't really think of a better place to put this since it made me chuckle a bit.
We had just moved into our new neighborhood this past fall. Now that the weather is a little nicer, people walk around the neighborhood every now and then, especially in the evenings after dinner.
Well, I was outside the other evening doing a little yardwork and a couple stopped and introduced themselves. They were about my age, maybe a tad bit older. We ended up talking for a little bit and they invited my wife and I over for dinner "sometime this month"...not the kids though which I thought was a bit weird. Of course, I told them that would be great and they went on their way.
After they left, my neighbor came over and told me what I had suspected. They are married, but have an "open" relationship. AKA: swingers. Makes me feel a little weird to say the least. So, should I take them up on their offer (JUST dinner) or would I be crazy to do so? They seemed nice enough and I know people can [sometimes] seperate their sex lives from their personal and business lives. Remind me to say no to the alcohol if I do... lol. Also, I have not told my wife. I just told her that they wanted us to come over for dinner...figured that she could know the rest if we ended up not going.
Your opinions are welcome! Yes/No/Maybe/Never/Always, whatever.

I bet you'd be surprised if you just showed your wife this post. My bet would be she would not only be open for going to dinner ( afterall, a nice nice night out w/o the kids ) but she also might be interested in just meeting new and potentially different freinds.
Am I missing the chuckle part somewhere? Doesn't everyone swing?
June 2nd, 2008, 03:11 PM #4
LOL - made me chuckle too SFcom!
I say go - if anything for the sheer amusement of watching what they do, if the food is good, how they attempt to draw you into their "lifestyle" (IF they do.)
I suggest NOT telling your wife until after you've gone to dinner. Why trip her out if nothing happens which is the likelier scenario. Unless she'd get a kick out of watching them operate in which case tell her and enjoy the "joke" together.
And besides, they might be interesting people. You don't have to accept any "offers" and can still be friends if you end up liking them.
No IOWNIE, not "everyone" swings! Geesh ...

YouTube it. Just watch out when they say it's time for dessert and let friends and family know where you went, just in case.

I'd tell your wife but ensure that you explained that you accepted the invitation ahead of time. Full disclosure is always best.---

I say go and find out if the rumor is true....don't tell the wife though....otherwise everything that is said and done will be considered a pick up...plus you never know, if they are swingers and hit on the two of you after dinner, or before, it may just give her a HUGE ego boost and every woman enjoys being hit on....
And think years from now, when you are sitting around with your grown children and can retell the story.....

I guess I would take dinner over a fruit basket any day. Just not sure about the after-dinner part.
What if, if your neighbor is right...
What if, if the wine or water is loaded...
What if, if the spice in the food is not salt and pepper because they use granulated blue pills to get in the mood after diner...
What if, if you go eat and the next morning when you wake up, there are at least four people in that room...
What if, if your new neighbor is real the swinger, and may have told you that to see if you fling...
What if, if after all is said and done, you become a swinger too...

You guys should feel complemented, I mean, they undoubtedly checked you two out and discussed it before inviting you over, lol. Just make sure your adult dating affiliate sites are up to spec, you might make some sales.....! In fact, there's your way to indirectly 'feel them out'. They ask what you do, you say you sell all sorts of products online, they say what type, you mention the basics, the shoe store, the apparel mall, the game store....and then you slip in some lingerie site........ I hear the Jaws theme music in the background, hehe...

I've seen this scenario played out, but in reverse. I designed a custom home for a rather conservative couple. They invited the neighbors for an open house hot tub party. Four of them were swingers, showed up at the front door totally naked except for their shoes and jumped right into their hot tub.~Ernie

For those wondering, the only two options are go or not go. "Participation" is out of the question (if it happened to even come up.) The whole scenario is just a bit intimidating. Maybe I should just ask them to go out to dinner at a nice restaurant instead.

Inviting them to dinner is a bit more formal - the idea of inviting a neighbor to dinner is to get to know them (although..not as much as they'd think!)
I think you should go to the dinner, and stay soberNick Nelson | nick at aff.biz | Skype: snickn | Phone: 312.282.4515

PASADENA, Calif. Jan. 21
In the Land of the Nobody Here But Us Chickens, other broadcast programming chiefs may be de-beaked, de-clawed battery hens, but ABC's programming chief, Steve McPherson, is strictly free-range.
McPherson dares to answer questions. Or at least he gives the illusion of answering them, which is the same thing.
Like when he was asked Saturday at Winter TV Press Tour 2006 why he canceled Heather Graham's sitcom "Emily's Reasons Why Not" after just one episode, but not John Stamos's "Jake in Progress," which did equally lousy ratings a couple weeks back.
"I have a crush on John Stamos," he responded. Other programming chiefs would have seen the trade paper headlines: ABC Programming Chief Acknowledges Tryst With Bad Sitcom Star, and balked at giving an answer like that.
Of course he then gave a serious answer. "Emily's Reasons Why Not" did not get "where it needed to be" creatively while "Jake in Progress" has grown, he said.
"You have to kind of measure your patience based on how you believe in the creative," he explained. "And . . . we felt like, unfortunately, ['Emily'] was not going to get better and we needed to make a quick change."
Couldn't you have known it was a dog from early testing? one critic wondered.
"Testing is a pretty dysfunctional tool," McPherson said, immediately winning our undying love.
"We all know 'Seinfeld' -- one of the worst-testing NBC pilots ever," he added, and he ought to know, being a former NBC suit. "Desperate Housewives" tested only okay, he said, and "no men said they would ever watch it."
McPherson even had a good answer to the "Whither goest the multi-camera laugh-tracked sitcom?" question.
"I think doing the traditional sitcom, where it's the same couch you've seen in every previous show, it's the same setup, that's a problem. . . . We kind of got away from point-of-view and voice. It would be just a situation that yes, technically was funny, but it wasn't an engine for a series. They weren't people and voices that you wanted to hear week after week."
McPherson's even brave enough to take on one of the Scary Sci-Fi People in the room. They're the critics in the audience at every press tour who demand to know why that "Buffy" spinoff never happened, why "Farscape" got canceled, where's the Spike flick, etc. And they always sound kind of angry.
"You're doing very well with 'Lost,' obviously, and you like 'Invasion,' even though it's not doing maybe quite as well as you'd hoped -- do you have any other science-fiction/fantasy genre project in development for the fall?" one of them asked in a way that seemed to suggest that if he knew what was good for him he would.
"Not really science fiction," McPherson said, in what was perhaps the bravest statement ever made at a press tour, adding recklessly, "I don't think 'Lost' is a science fiction show. I think that's the beauty of it. It's a show about humanity. Other than a few elements, science fiction isn't what drives that at all."
"Maybe science fiction is the wrong term," the critic responded ominously, they way Buffy used to get with a vampire when she'd had just about enough of his nonsense. "Shows with elements that are not quite found in real life. I mean, you don't normally have shadow monsters appearing to you."
"As I said, there are definitely elements of 'Lost' that are science fiction," McPherson responded steely. "We're developing high-concept shows. Shows in the vein of 'Lost,' in the vein of '24.' "
On dodging questions: McPherson was asked if he was happy with "Commander in Chief" creatively and if he thought it was strong in the political arena or the family arena.
The show's original creator, Rod Lurie, envisioned it as a show about the East Wing, in which the first family lives, rather than a "West Wing" kind of show. But he got dumped as "show runner" -- mostly, we're told, because the show was getting so far behind in its production schedule and the scripts weren't particularly good. Steven-with-a-V Bochco was brought in and has turned it into more of a show about the West Wing.
"I think Steven has taken it in the more political arena," McPherson said, sidestepping the question nicely, adding, "We're always pushing to make shows better and better. . . . We're really hoping that the creative will continue to evolve."

ABC News stands by its story on Corey Clark's claims he was shagged by "American Idol" judge Paula Abdul while he was a contestant on the show, even though Fox says its own investigation found that nothing Clark claimed could be substantiated, ABC News President David Westin told critics.
"I know the sourcing on the story. We vetted that very, very carefully. . . . We stand by our story," Westin said, adding that "saying it's unsubstantiated from their point of view because they don't necessarily know who our sources are is not the same as saying it's wrong, is it?"
It's always dicey answering a question with a question at a press tour, as Westin was about to find out:
"Well, yeah, I think it is," the critic responded.
"Right," Westin said. Then, realizing what the critic had actually replied, he added, "What? It is? No! No! They don't know what our sources were. We know who our sources were [but] we're not revealing them obviously because they're confidential sources, but I am absolutely confident."
Fox claims it tried to talk to ABC News or to get ABC News to reveal its sources, the critic said.
"We declined," Westin responded.
"Why?" Westin said, looking like an impeccably dressed man who has just entered a very bad dream sequence.
"Have you heard of the Valerie Plame story?" he said.
"In the end, wouldn't it substantiate your story?" the critic asked, adding that ABC News would not be revealing its sources "to anyone other than the people that are looking into it at Fox."
"One thing that's sacred for us is protecting our confidential sources," Westin said. "And protecting them doesn't mean just not disclosing them to the outside world. This would be disclosing to people who have a vested interest, for goodness sakes."
* * *
Speaking of bad dream sequences, Westin was onstage with the two new anchors of ABC's evening newscast, Elizabeth Vargas and Bob Woodruff, as well as its exec producer, Jon Banner.
While Westin insisted that pairing Vargas and Woodruff was very different than past pairings of Harry Reasoner and Barbara Walters, Dan Rather and Connie Chung, which had played so much like watching ugly divorces in progress. Still, there was a notable lack of chemistry between Vargas and Woodruff onstage -- definitely a tomayto-and-tomahto kind of relationship.
Even on the promo clip shown to critics of various scenes of each out in the field, Woodruff looked like he'd just stepped off the cover of GQ, while Vargas looked like she'd gone out to walk her dog and found herself in Iraq.
Up on the stage, Vargas prattled on merrily about how having anchors out in the field changes the way they cover a story. "I mean, when I was in Iraq for that week, I did sometimes three reports for each broadcast, and those reports were two, three, four minutes long. We covered the story of the elections in Iraq that week far differently having an anchor on the ground than we would have having a correspondent there," she said, oblivious to how bad that sounded.
Later she added, "I mean, we have fabulous correspondents, but I think it's a great thing to have your anchors be reporters too and be out in the field."
Still later, she added, "This is no slur on our incredibly talented and hardworking correspondents. The fact of the matter is when you have an anchor out there in the country, you're going to cover the story more. I'm anchoring the broadcast from there."
"And, while I'm thinking of it, let them eat cake," she added. (Okay, I made that last part up.)
Woodruff, seeing the vultures start to circle, finally jumped in:
"I know exactly what you're saying," he said of the anchors-correspondents issue, "and it's a worry that we've talked about, because I think sometimes if you do send an anchor into the field, you do have a tendency sometimes to overemphasize the story."
But, he assured critics, that was "under the old model," and "we don't have that necessity" now.
Apparently Elizabeth Vargas did not get that memo.

However, Keith is their best dman and wont fight a guy like volpatti or weiss...Thats just not a fair trade off for a number 1 dman and a 4th liner in the box for 5. With this in mind who do you guys think Keith will fight? Kassian is above Keith's weight class and I think would be too valuable to be sitting in a game like this..... I can see someone like Burrows stepping up and showing Canuck Nation that he is a leader on this team. other potential dance partners are Bieksa, Ballard, Hamhuis. thoughts?

WAOA 2005 came about in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, on 6–7 October 2005. The workshop was once a part of the ALGO 2005 occasion that still hosted ESA, WABI, and ATMOS. the 2 past WAOA workshops have been held in Budapest (2003) and Rome (2004). themes of curiosity for WAOA 2005 have been: algorithmic online game idea, appro- mation periods, coloring and partitioning, aggressive research, computational ?nance, cuts and connectivity, geometric difficulties, inapproximability effects, mechanism layout, community layout, packing and overlaying, paradigms, rand- izationtechniques,real-worldapplications,andschedulingproblems.Inresponse to the decision for papers we obtained sixty eight submissions. every one submission was once reviewed through a minimum of 3 referees, and the overwhelming majority through a minimum of 4 referees. The submissions have been regularly judged on originality, technical caliber, and relevance to the themes of the convention. in response to the reports, this system Committee chosen 26 papers. we're thankful to Andrei Voronkov for supplying the EasyChair convention system,whichwasusedtomanagetheelectronicsubmissions,thereviewprocess, and the digital notebook assembly.

When we think about migration (as we have been doing all year), we tend to focus on people and creatures, the mobile inhabitants of the planet. But life and motion create products and byproducts: tools, waste, the implements of culture. These are often the things that drive us onward in our migrations. [continue reading…]

The initial couple of dates with that adorable person you had been smashing on everlastingly on might have been the best, and he may have been out of this world beguiling. Yet, consider the possibility that the charming person you think you know is with you just calmly. Watch out for these five warnings that demonstrate the person you've been dating is in it just for sex.
He's mostly only available late at night
This one is an exemplary indication of a goods guest. He will be MIA the entire day, and in the night, when you're going to cuddle inside your warm cover, he messages you requesting that you come over. In the event that this happens once in a blue moon it's still fine, yet in the event that he makes a propensity for it, young lady, you have to open your eyes.
He doesn't introduce you to his friends
It's normal for couples to not acquaint their accomplices with their companions quickly, but rather in the event that you trust that he hasn't educated anybody concerning you, that is a little warning peeping out in that spot. Also, on the off chance that he solicits you to not enlighten any from your companions regarding you folks, it's a great opportunity to RUN!
He makes it difficult for you to stay over
He brings you over for a fast in and out, yet you're never permitted to remain the night. He will attempt each strategy in the book to wash his hands off you, refering to reasons like he has work to do, needs to wake up super at a young hour in the morning, even silly stuff like 'angel, on the off chance that you remain over we'll never get a wink of rest throughout the night'.
He takes hours to respond to your texts
We don't trust in answering to writings inside three seconds of accepting them, however when you can see that the person is on the web yet isn't answering to you, it's undeniable to think that its fishy. Additionally, if the person barely ever messages you, and when he does, it's just to request nudies, well at that point, why are you still with him?
He only compliments your looks
In the first place, it will make you feel super-provocative and alluring, however soon enough, the way he appreciates just your appearance will begin getting to you. There's a universe of a distinction between folks who just discover you hot, rather than folks think's identity as keen and clever as you are hot and beautiful.

Original testimonials have been edited for length and clarity.
"GlennStone came out to examine our roof and showed us the damage on the roof, gave a good understanding of the damage and gave us three options of how we can repair our roof. They were very knowledgeable and not pushy. They e-mailed the estimate cost of each of the repair options within 72 hours. We took the option of replacing the whole roof.
They told us they would be able to start the work in about two weeks, but were able to start in only a little over a week. They provided a crew of four to do the job. Their crew was very courteous and were very diligent in the work they did. They completed the job in one day!
The cost of the job was right on the estimate. The company guaranteed the roof for five years and the shingles' manufacturer had a separate limited lifetime warranty. No hidden costs. The company did more than the minimum needed. The roof now looks great and I am certain we made the right decision in using Glennstone to do the job."
Chester Steffen
Monett, MO
"From start to finish the experience was incredible. We have never had such prompt, courteous, and genuinely concerned customer service. Replacing a roof can be a dirty, messy and destructive job, but GlennStone kept everything as tidy as humanly possible, and took great care with our landscaping. Any concerns we expressed were dealt with very quickly and much to our satisfaction. We cannot say enough great things about GlennStone, and do not hesitate to sing their praises to everyone we know!"
Christy Snelling
Springfield, MO
"When you think about a new roof, think no further than GlennStone Roofing and Gutters Company. You will have a beautiful roof, well done and when you need it. Simply choose your roof color and material and you won't be disappointed. Matt Graham was honest and easy to work with and the price was right."
Fremont Hills Dental Centre
Ozark, MO
"We contacted them and they got to us within 2 days. Absolutely great service. Will definitely use them again."
Jeremy Davis
Republic, MO
"Very pleased with their work, promptness and cleaning up after the job. They explained everything well and kept their word. I would highly recommend Glennstone Roofing."
Ralph Manes
Dixon, MO
"Everything went picture perfect with their service. They did everything that they said they were going to do. They told us how much the cost would be up front and they stuck to the price. The crew even cleaned up after themselves. They were great! We are even looking to hire them to install a roof on a home we are building as well."
Cody West
Paragould, AR
"The roofing crew showed up very early and worked very late and did not leave the job until it was completed. They did an excellent job and were respectful of our property and cleaned up every evening. Our roof looks great. I met both owners of the company and they were very nice people and everyone was so easy to deal with. Always returned my phone calls and emails immediately and made the whole process very easy. I can't say enough about how professional and knowledgeable all the people we dealt with were. Overall a great company we will use in the future. I have told many friends and neighbors about them."
Kay Caldwell
Springfield, MO
"Glenn has drawn much praise and honors from our agents and clients. He is well known around the office due to his commitment of building business relationships through the completion of quality roofing and construction work. The quality and workmanship that Glenn demands is second to none in the industry.
Glenn Sanders, the owner of GlennStone, has exhibited only the highest professional standards. We greatly recommend him for any of your roofing and construction needs."
Drew Richards
Preferred Vendor Program Director
Keller-Williams Realty
"When I called and spoke with Glenn Sanders, he not only walked me through the process, but put my mind at ease that Glenn and his company could handle all the details. All I have to do is pick out the type of shingles. It is nice to see a company that works hard for my business."
K. James
"Thank you so very much for coming out right away to check our roof. You were so kind in making it a priority to come out
and figure out the cause of our leak the next morning, especially since there were more violent storms on their way.
Imagine our relief when you told us that it was just a minor repair! We were worried it was much more than that. The repair you made has done well and NO leaks have occurred again. Even with all the new storms we have had this week with blowing rain, it passed the test! Also, thanks for taking the digital pictures of the roof before the repair and then after the repair. It was great to see exactly what the problem was from your perspective and then see how you were able to fix it.
I highly recommend your company to anyone that would need a good, honest and reliable roofer or repair to their existing roof."
S. Simonson
Nixa, MO
"My dogs loved Glenn and Travis. I know that sounds crazy, but of all the companies/men that came Lyla and Riley (my dogs) loved Glenn and Travis and believe me they do not like everyone. They actually now look forward to seeing Glenn and Travis and sit at the door waiting for them so they can announce their arrival. Glenn and Travis did everything they said they would do when they said they would do it. That is a rare thing this day and age."
E. Arthur
"We wanted to take a moment to ''Thank You" for taking the time to inspect the roof at our property in Nixa . As always, we appreciate your expedience and expertise in this area. You are always there when we need you and that means a lot. It is so nice to have someone we can depend on. We look forward to doing business with you again in the near future."

The New Delhi think tank that was hired by the commerce ministry to map the impact of the growing modern retailers on the country's small groups is finally making its study public, some 14 months after it was asked to study the issue.
The Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations, or Icrier, said it plans to discuss the survey at a press conference on Monday. In December, when it reported results from a survey in four cities, and on 28 April when it reported on Icrier's presentation to the government and its recommendations, 'Mint' had noted that the survey found that both profits and sales at the mom-and-pop stores dwindled in areas where modern retailers began operating. Icrier has also concluded that, within five years or so, this negative impact weakens.
In its presentation to the government, Icrier had made several policy recommendations, including a system that ensures better access to credit for small retailers and called for opening of more cash-and-carry outlets for unorganized retail and farmers.
The agency also suggested that the government should "encourage 'private codes of conduct' by organized retail ,especially with small supplies; move toward nationwide uniform licensing regime (and) simplify licensing/permit regime for organized retail." Icrier noted that, typically, 22-23 clearances are currently required for a retailer.
The field research study—conducted in New Delhi and Jaipur in the north; Kolkata in the east; Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kochi in the south; and Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Indore in the west—surveyed 2,020 stores, 805 were in the "control group" or in neighbourhoods in New Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad, where branded outlets had not opened for business at the time the survey was conducted.
Overall, across both the "treatment sample", or stores in areas where there is head-to-head competition with organized retail outlets, and the control sample, sales of small stores were down 8% and profits 9%. In safe neighbourhoods (the control sample), sales of small stores were up by at least 2% and profit by 5.2%, while in neighbourhoods that saw head-to-head competition (treatment sample), sales and profit were down by around 16%. On an annualized basis, sales and profit were both down 10% in these neighbourhoods.
Icrier also noted that between 2012 and 2017, small stores will grow by 10% a year while big retail would grow by 45-50%, albeit on a smaller base. As a result, organized retail, which accounted for just 4% of India's overall retail market at the end of March 2007, would have a 16% share of the business by March 2012, the presentation said.
HT Media's 'Hindustan' launched in Uttarakhand
New Delhi:HT Media Ltd, publisher of newspapers including 'Mint' and the 'Hindustan Times', will launch the Uttarakhand edition of its Hindi daily 'Hindustan' on Friday. The edition will be available in Dehradun, Roorkee, Haridwar, Rishikesh and the Garhwal region, a statement said. HT Media will print 60,000 copies of the paper on the first day, it added. The Uttarakhand edition follows the paper's recent entry into Mathura, Aligarh and Chandigarh. Staff Writer
Another plea against HAL airport closure
Bangalore: The Association of Outsourcing Professionals, or AOP, headed by a former bureaucrat, has filed a petition in the Karnataka high court saying the closure of the old airport after the new airport is opened violates an Indian law on monopoly.
AOP claimed the contract, called the concession agreement, signed in 2004 violates the Monopolistic and Restrictive Trade Practices (MRTP) Act. The vacation bench of the high court admitted the petition and adjourned the case for Friday.
Earlier, the Indian government counsel said the Bangalore International Airport Ltd, or Bial, which will operate the new airport, would submit a traffic study in two weeks.
It would include the possibility of operating short haul flights from the older airport, owned by state-run aircraft maker Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd, or HAL, he said.
The counsel added that the government was in talks with Bial to accept the suggestion of operating small planes from the older airport. Any commercial traffic from the HAL airport, if continued, would affect Bial's financial viability, he said. Staff Writer
Jet Airways' Q4 results postponed
Mumbai: Jet Airways India Ltd, the country's largest private airline by passengers carried, said it is delaying its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended 31 March as the auditing will not be completed before the board meeting on 23 May. The company was scheduled to announce its results the same day. However, the board will still meet Friday to consider other issues, including raising of funds.
A Jet Airways executive said the company will publish its audited results before 30 June. Indian companies have to publish their results three months of the financial year-end but can seek government approval for extending this deadline. P.R. Sanjai

From YouTube (GQ Channel): Still Making Excuses for Trump? | The Resistance with Keith Olbermann
Am I the only one experiencing Deja vu? RESIST!!
From Daily Kos: Brad Thomas is the author of The Trump Factor—whatever the hell that is—and an advisory member of Trump's league-of-people-who-are-disappointing-their-families. He was on Velshi and Rhule's MSNBC show trying to do some damage control for the Trump administration after a slew of CEOs decided being a part of the president of the United States' council was bad for business.
All journalists should nail Republican liars to prevent them from spewing their disingenuous propaganda just like that! RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: Attacking the media for its "very unfair" coverage of Monday's solar eclipse, Donald J. Trump said on Saturday that the sun was equally to blame for blocking the moon.
"The fake news is covering the eclipse from the sun's side instead of the moon's side, but if you look at it from the moon's side the sun is blocking the moon's side," he said. "There are so many sides you can't count all the sides."
Additionally, Trump tore into the sun itself, calling it a "showboat" for its role in the solar eclipse.
"The sun thinks the world revolves around it," Trump said. "Sad."
Andy, after this week, even that could be straight news. RESIST!!

Hey guys! This is Maria from Little Tree, and I am so happy to be guest posting for Melissa while she recuperates and takes care of her baby girl. Congrats to Melissa and her family during this amazing time and best wishes to her in this new journey of motherhood!
Beige is definitely one of my favorite colors this season. I love pairing it up with browns and blacks for nights out.
For this beige fashion round-up, I picked the items above because I felt like they portrayed exactly what's in style right now (and also because they feature prints and fun things I have been wanting to try myself!). Are there any color trends you guys want to try this season? -Maria
Big thanks to my "little sis" Maria (we decided a year or so ago that we are unofficial sisters) for sharing this stylish beige round-up with you guys! I'm normally a grey girl but I've been digging beige as a key neutral a lot this season. Be sure to take a minute or two to stop by Maria's blog, Little Tree. She has a knack for combinging the cutest outfit posts with the wisest insights. You'll love it. xo, melissa

Adopting a shelter dog and saving it from a possible early death can be a wonderful and fulfilling experience for you, your family and especially the dog.
In most cities the cost to adopt a shelter dog is relatively cheap. Most shelters only charge a modest fee for adopting a dog but that fee actually covers only a small part of the shelter's costs for food, healthcare, facilities and care giving. Dogs housed in animal shelters will have been examined to make sure they're in good health before being put up for adoption. The dogs are usually vaccinated, wormed and neutered or spayed. In well-run shelters, a dog's behavior has been assessed so a prospective new owner can be better matched to the type of dog they want.
Before taking your family to the local animal shelter to choose a new dog, you should understand that the cost of adoption is only a small fraction of the total cost of owning a dog. The average dog owner will spend approximately $ 2,200 per year on food, medical care, vet visits and other dog related expenses. The actual yearly outlay of expenses will vary depending on the type of dog, and also why it ended up in the animal shelter.
Many dogs are surrendered to shelters because they have serious behavior problems, and a new owner will have to contend with those behaviors as well as fear and abandonment issues a dog may have from being mistreated or abandoned to a shelter.
It's fairly easy to recognize a shelter dog who has fear issues. The dog may run or hide from strangers, bark a lot, or growl at humans. It can be difficult to reduce a dog's fear, but if you fall in love with a dog displaying those symptoms, understand that those fears can be overcome with patience on your part.
If you're thinking of adopting a shelter dog, you should get some background information on any dog you're seriously considering. There are some dogs in shelters who have been given back several times because new owners couldn't cope with the dog's crying, barking or other destructive behavior when left alone. Sometimes this is caused simply by separation anxiety where the dog becomes fearful every time its owner leaves it alone. You can lessen this fear by spending as much time as possible with your new dog, gradually cutting down on the amount of time spent one-on-one.
Unfortunately, many dogs who end up in shelters have never been properly potty trained. If this is the case, you'll need to treat the dog as it were a puppy. Set a regular schedule of when you take your dog outside to go. When it does its duty, reward it with a treat and praise. It shouldn't take long for the dog to associate going outside to the bathroom with getting a tasty treat.
Many dogs are surrendered to shelters simply because their owners never taught them how to behave. A dog may display unwanted behavior such as jumping on people, humping people's legs, or ignoring you when you tug on its leash.
While some people are not bothered by this type of behavior, some are and become very distressed by their inability to correct the behavior. The poor dog then ends up abandoned to a shelter. If the owner had a little more patience and understanding of dog behavior, these unwanted actions could be easily corrected with a little bit of positive training. If you're adopting a shelter dog be sure it's the right one for you before taking it home.

The secretary told reporters that his colleague was innocent until proven guilty, while outspoken Romario had further criticism for the two individuals
The long-time chief of Brazilian football has faced bribery and fraud accusations in recent weeks, as he continues the task of preparing his country to host the World Cup in 2014. Teixeira is currently meeting with Valcke as part of his work as head of the Local Organizing Committee in order to iron out differences between the two bodies.
Questioned over the allegations hovering over the Brazilian, Valcke insisted that he would not abandon Teixeira unless such charges were verified.
"In a democracy, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Why should FIFA be different? This is being investigated," the secretary affirmed to Estadao.
Meanwhile, 1994 World Cup winner and current Socialist Party deputy Romario was once more critical of the handling of the 2014 tournament and went as far as to ask for those accused of corruption to face jail time.
"The people must push hard so that all those who have been charged in the middle of all this corruption, stay in prison at least until 2014," the former Barcelona striker fired in an interview with ESPN Brasil.
"Regarding some colleagues of mine that form part of the commission, I didn't expect anything different because a lot of them had their campaigns backed by the CBF, and even by FIFA. That means that they are there to do FIFA's work, the CBF's, those who are behind them."
Romario has been one of the staunchest critics of FIFA's handling of the World Cup and has criticized the body for valuing commercial profit over national sovereignty.

I ended up not doing much of a taper this week, which is partly due to the fact that my mileage has overall been lower than previous half marathon training cycles. I did make sure to get in 2 days of complete rest and got my 2 days of strength training done earlier in the week because doing squats or deadlifts the day before a race is probably not a good idea.
Monday, 1/19: REST
Tuesday, 1/20: AM: 6.02 miles with 3.74 @ HM pace (which ended up being 7:40-7:50 pace). This felt…just okay. PM: elliptical and strength training.
Wednesday, 1/21: 5 miles easy
Thursday, 1/22: AM: 4 miles easy on the treadmill due to an intense rainstorm outside. I upped the pace a little every time a new song came on my iPod to prevent dying of boredom. (But honestly, 4 miles is pretty short and it was so awful outside that the treadmill was a welcome respite). PM: elliptical and strength training.
Friday, 1/23: REST
Saturday, 1/24: 3.06 miles easy, followed by lots of stretching and foam rolling. Two of the training programs (1 and 2) that I loosely followed over the past few months have rest days scheduled right before the race, which is something I never like doing. I much prefer going for a short, easy run to get my legs stretched out and moving– especially after spending most of Friday sitting at my desk at work.
I also haven't had any alcohol or Diet Coke since Tuesday night. (I was going to quit drinking alcohol after the weekend but we had an open bottle of a really delicious Malbec that I wanted to finish up). I've continued to snack liberally on leftover Christmas candy though, so I guess I'm still not ready to start a healthy living blog. I usually have 3-4 standard servings of alcohol and maybe 2 12 oz cans of Diet Coke per week, so cutting them out for a few days isn't going to really impact my performance tomorrow aside from forcing me to drink more water.
Onto my plan and goals for tomorrow!
In 2014 I ran this race in 1:38:48. I would love to run that time (or faster) tomorrow but I'm not sure it's realistic right now. Over the past few months I've been pretty diligent about track workouts, and I think that really paid off for my recent 5K and 10K races (which were not too far off from my PRs). I have not been diligent about running half marathon pace miles and have only done 4 or 5 double digit runs since October. There are a few reasons for this:
- I swapped out some tempo runs early in the training cycle for 5K/10K pace repeats on the track (or treadmill) because I wanted to avoid running on harder surfaces.
- I had 2 weeks in December when I barely ran at all due to travel/illness/laziness/etc.
- I did not want to run too many miles and re-injure myself. A year ago I was typically running 6 days a week for a total of 40-45 miles and I'd just completed another half marathon in early December. My highest mileage week this cycle was 32 miles and I've typically only run 5 days per week.
And I'm okay with all of this. I'd like to eventually really try for a PR again (and I have a few goal races tentatively picked out for the spring) but right now I'm just glad I'm not injured. Aside from taking off the week of Christmas to drink a lot of beer and eat my weight in chocolate, I think I was pretty smart about my training. Yes, I probably should have had more tempo runs but there's nothing I can do about that now except remember it the next time I train for a half.
As for my race plan tomorrow? I'm planning on starting again with the 1:45 pace group, which is an 8:00 min/mile pace. After the first mile or two I'm hoping to get ahead of them and stick to a 7:45ish pace. If I feel surprisingly faster than that (which is what happened last year), I'll let myself speed up a bit on the lengthy downhill portions. Basically, I'm aiming for a finish in the low 1:40s. If I can squeak in a sub-1:40 finish, that would be amazing but I'm not going to try for that unless I'm feeling really awesome.
I'll be back tomorrow with a race recap, including a full rundown of the goodie bag from the expo, which is excellent. Scotch tape! Kitchen sponges! POST ITS!

What Are the Best US Beaches for Families?
Beach vacations often seem to be aimed at singles or couples — but if you have kids and still want a sandy summer trek, you might find a new list of the best US beaches for families pretty helpful.

Think of this as Rebecca Black meets the Fresh Prince on Facebook and then they are both in a horrific accident and we the listeners are the ones who suffer the pain.
If you are a fan of the miracle I invite you to spend just a few minutes with this family. They were thoughtful and kind enough to include us in the process of preparing and sharing the greatest gift we as humans can receive.
For so many of us growing up in the 1970's and 80's The Neighborhood of Make-Believe and Fred Rogers' house was a safe haven from a world that was growing more scary every day. Sure we all made fun of Mr. Rogers and his sweater and his sneakers but deep down inside we all craved the kindness and attention he preached from his porch.
Though Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert have become quite the 'it couple' in and beyond the realm of country music, the two agree that they're not planning for kids anytime soon. In a recent interview with US Weekly, Shelton explained that while they will be ringing in their first anniversary in May, they're content to put off that next step for just a little while longer.
Parents, don't let your kids fool you into getting them a Nintendo Wii with promises that it'll make them exercise more. A newly released study says that's just a bunch of bologna.
Here we see a fine young man holding a wine glass. Now this being the year 2012 we aren't sure exactly what he is going to do with that wine glass but we know it's going to be cool because it is on YouTube. Sure enough the little son of gun delivers in a big way!
Here is how you can get some amazing zoo video and have your subjects almost begging to be on camera. As you will see later in the video it also works on humans. This could be just the trick to getting that incredible picture of your newborn or toddler with out having to beg them to sit still!
Forget the financial experts or the Dow index. If you want to know what's really going on with the state of the US economy, ask the Tooth Fairy.

It was our first meeting.
Harold had called the office early in the morning. My administrative aide deemed his to be an emergency situation and put him through to me. He quickly asked for an immediate appointment. I explained that my standard protocol was to send a person a psycho social and sexuality questionnaire for them to thoroughly answer then send back to me a week before our first appointment. This would permit me to be better prepared to give attention to their specific needs.
There was such an urgency about his manner that I scheduled an appointment for that evening.
That evening, Harold arrived 15 minutes early and in an obvious state of agitation. After the initial exchange of pleasantries in the waiting room, I asked him to come into my office and have a seat.
Harold shifted uneasily on the couch across from me. I could sense his apprehension building as he started telling me his "story". Immediately, I knew his deep pain points and the back story behind each of them. How could I be so certain? His "story" was my "story". The experience was like hearing myself for the first time sharing particulars of my own journey as a two time Prostate Cancer survivor.
He had prepared himself well for this meeting. He summarized his "story" with a statement that filled me with empathy. "I have lost my manhood. I am impotent. How can I ever satisfy my wife or myself? This is effecting everything I do. My job, my relationships in general, everything. I am no longer a whole person and at the end of the road."
Before going any further I asked Harold for clarification. "What do you mean by "at the end of the road? Are you having thoughts of ending your life?"
"Yes. That is my urgency in having this meeting."
"If I have heard you correctly, you very much want to be with your wife and honor your marriage vows. You have been a conscientious employee and are considered a loyal friend by those who you call your friends. Is that correct?" I asked him.
"Yes," he answered without hesitating.
"Then," I said, "Is it accurate for me to believe that you are a man of your word?"
"Yes, my word is my bond," he replied.
"I work on a contractual model. An example is that we will only work on what we have contracted to work on toward measurable outcomes. Because you impress me as a person who will honor a contract he enters into, I have a contract offer for you to make with me so our energies together are rewarded with the results you most want."
"The contract is that no matter how much emotional pain you are in you will not take your life nor cause it to be taken. Also, under no circumstances will you take another person's life."
Harold answered, "Sure Doc."
"Okay," I said. "Let's make sure about this. Repeat the contract word for word beginning with I commit to you, Dr. Virgil Beasley, no matter how bad things get, I will not take my life nor cause my life to be taken. Also, under no circumstances will I take another person's life."
As he repeated the commitment verbatim I was closely watching his breathing pattern, eye movements, flush tones, signs of body tightness, voice intonation shifts. When he got to the 'nor cause my life to be taken' part his neck muscles tightened as did his jaw and his voice trailed off.
I asked him how he felt with making that commitment. He answered, "Fine, not a problem."
I then asked him to restate a part of the contract. This time, I instructed, "Say, If things get real bad I might cause my life to be taken."
He made the statement and when he did he was relaxed and his voice remained strong. I then asked him if he noticed any differences in how he felt or thought between the two contract statements.
Tears came gushing out as Harold said, "Wow! I do not have the courage to take my own life and certainly would never intentionally take another's life. But lately I have been driving fast and when I am tired. I dozed off last week and was awakened by the blast of a cement truck's horn. I was across the center line and was headed straight toward him."
When he regained his composure, I again asked him to make the contract but this time to do so for one year. He was unwilling. We worked it back to three months. Again, when he said yes, I had him verbalize the contract once again, this time in the positive followed by the "If things get real bad I will take my life or cause it to be taken."
He looked and reported being at ease and in total agreement with keeping the contract for three months. He then said what I consider to have been the most important take away he had from our meeting.
"We've got more to work on here than me again having sex with my wife."
"Harold, I am reminded of a client I worked with some a few years ago. He had a consciousness awakening. I believe this is possible for you and it only takes a few minutes a day.
"Imagine you being this person. You are about to leave an important meeting and you remember you have your garage parking ticket in your pocket. You go to the receptionist and ask if she validates. She says, "You have a beautiful smile." You beam and walk away then recall that you still have not gotten your ticket stamped. You go back to this lady and again say "Do you validate? "Yes. You have a beautiful voice. I can just picture you singing lead in the base section of a chorus." As you are soaking in this form of acknowledgment you again turn to her but this time you ask, "Do you stamp parking tickets to assist in paying the fees downstairs? "My pleasure", she says, "Let me have your ticket." She stamps it and says, "I know with your smile and your voice you are going to make this a great day for lots of people like you have for me."
You stop in the lobby for an espresso. Noticing the barrister totally engrossed in customizing each order and presenting her artistry with pride to each customer. You tell her, "I felt so good being part of your coffee making experience. Your pride and joy in your work is refreshing." She answers, "I believe that if I am going to do anything and feel fulfilled I must put my all into it. Thank you for the acknowledgement. I usually only get feedback from dissatisfied customers. You made my day."
"Harold, I request that between now and our next appointment you will fill out my paperwork and have it with you at your next appointment. I further request that you commit to making other people's day a special great day. To do this, genuinely acknowledge/validate a minimum of twenty people a day. My intent is that you experience an 'awakening' of consciousness, an 'awakening' of spirit, an 'awakening' of recognizing your own inner limitations."
"What will be the benefits to you if you have such an 'awakening' by saying yes to this contract request?"
Pause now. Put yourself in Harold's situation. If you were asked to enter this contract for not just three but thirty days, what do you think would be your benefits?
I look forward to sharing more of healing journey others and Harold have embarked upon with me.

The Ford Rollover Litigation: The Scoop On the Coupons
It's been a while since we heard tale of a controversial consumer class-action lawsuit, and, from our vantage point, that's not necessarily a good thing. Nothing stirs up the tort-reformers like a good class-action settlement in which plaintiffs lawyers get money and class-members get coupons.
The AP has a story out Monday taking a sort of retrospective snapshot on the Ford Explorer rollover class-action litigation. As part of a settlement reached last year, the nearly 1 million class members covered by the lawsuit each received the opportunity to claim a coupon worth either $300 or $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle. As of June 2009, according to the piece, only 75 people had used the coupons, at a cost to Ford of $37,500. The plaintiffs' lawyers, meanwhile, took home $25 million in fees and expenses.
Let us take a quick step back here. This rollover litigation wasn't filed . . .

S – Snowmobiling
Endless meadows stocked with the deepest fluffiest powder. Mile after mile of corduroy covered groomed trails. Open bowls above tree line that offers unsurpassed views of the Continental Divide. Snowmobiling in Grand County Colorado offers all three options and much more, making it one of the top destinations for snowmobile riders in the country.
Snowmobiling is a great way to get into the backcountry to access some unparalleled views of the Colorado high country. Wildlife viewing is also possible and can be done safely and efficiently from a snowmobile. Snowmobiling is so popular in Grand Lake that the town has earned the rubric "Snowmobile Capital of Colorado".
Winter Park and the Fraser Valley boasts hundreds of miles of trails, and visitors can either bring their own snowmobiles, or rent one from a snowmobile business operating in the county every winter. I often hear people talk more about their snowmobile experience as the highlight of their ski vacation, than the skiing itself!
I recommend Grand Adventures for your snowmobile rental needs. With three great locations to choose from, Grand Adventures has the best choice or snowmobile experience depending on your preference of location, guided or unguided tours. In my opinion, the best tour for someone new to the valley, is the 2-hour guided tour that takes you to the top of the Continental Divide. Tours top out at nearly 12,000 feet with views of the entire Winter Park Ski area and the Fraser Valley – perfect for the beginner to intermediate rider and families looking to experience Colorado's back country on a snowmobile.
For history buffs, the tours follow the historic "Moffat" railroad route – the path of the old Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad that trains had to use up until 1927 when the tunnel through the mountains was completed.

AbstractMonitoring bathymetry changes in shipping channels of rivers and estuaries is vital to the US economy. The standard method of sonar depth sounding from survey ships, though accurate, is slow to perform. Thus, we propose a new and innovative approach for rapid assessment of shipping channel morphology from the kinematics associated with remote sensing of the interaction of Kelvin wakes from boats with river bottoms. This program will develop a passive remote sensing methodology using imagery from airborne or possibly satellite sensors. In Phase I, we will determine the expected performance of the methodology by modeling the sensitivity of the Kelvin wave pattern to a non-uniform shipping channel. The inverse model incorporating wave dynamics associating the interaction of waves with the channel will be accomplished during Phase II and implemented in vetted algorithms.
