Spokane Police Department Press Release:
Spokane Police Department has robbery suspect, Scott Ruziecki, in custody after short SWAT standoff near the 600 block of South Arthur St.
On 08-19-13 around 6:30pm Spokane Police Department PACT (Patrol Anti Crime Team) developed information that Scott Ruziecki was inside a residence at 600 S Arthur. They attempted to make contact with him, but he initially refused to exit the residence. SWAT officers and Hostage Negotiators were called to the scene, due to information gathered last week, which indicated Ruziecki was armed and would shoot any law enforcement officer if confronted. Ruziecki later exited the residence without incident around 9:45pm.
Detectives are executing a search warrant for the residence in relation to the 3 robberies of local banks. Police expect to book Ruziecki into jail on his two warrants for 1st Robbery and 1st Theft and also on a new charge of 1st Robbery.
Police have taken bank robbery suspect Scott Ruziecki into custody following an hours long standoff near 8th and Arthur.
Previous Coverage:
Spokane Police have the area around 8th and Arthur on the lower south hill blocked off right now for an investigation. Police say they believe that 41-year-old Scott Ruziecki, a suspect in a recent bank robberies, has barricaded himself inside a home in the area.
A SWAT team is on scene and police are trying to establish contact.
KHQ has a crew on scene and we will update this story as soon as we get any additional information.

Hundreds lined the streets of Clawson today for the annual Fourth of July parade. It included floats of all sizes, antique cars, clowns, bands and some well known faces.
Afterwards, many people visited an arts and crafts fair featuring over 90 different displays and the Independence day festivities don't stop there. There's also a midway area with entertainment and lots of food. The night will end with a spectacular fireworks show.
It's recommended that people park off main roads like Maple, Main and Crooks and walk to Clawson City Park where most of the activities will take place.
Fox 2's Roop Raj has been in Clawson all morning long taking in the patriotic sights and sounds and enjoying the parade.

Home → Personalized Alternate Assessment Portfolio
Personalized Alternate Assessment Portfolio
The Personalized Alternate Assessment Portfolio (PAAP) is designed specifically for students with significant cognitive disabilities and is the alternate to Maine's required State assessments (the New England Common Assessment Program [NECAP], the Maine Educational Assessment, the Maine High School Assessment [MHSA] and the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test [PSAT/NMSQT]). The PAAP is a fully implemented academic assessment that provides the basis for achievement and accountability reporting.
The PAAP measures individual student progress toward the Maine Learning Results – the standards that identify what all Maine students, including those with unique learning needs, are expected to know and be able to do. Scores are reported for accountability purposes under No Child Left Behind in grade 3-7 through NECAP or PAAP, and through MHSA or PAAP during the third year of high school. PSAT/NMSQT participation is required for 10th grade students to inform teaching and learning; PAAP scores are not reported for accountability.
Students taking the PAAP provide evidence of their progress through tasks that demonstrate academic progress toward the common content standards but measure steps that are backed down developmentally from the levels at which their grade-level peers are measured.
The PAAP testing window is Dec. 1, 2013, through April 30, 2014. Assessment reports will be released in the fall of 2014.
The 2013-14 school year will be the last administration of the PAAP before moving to the National Center and State Collaborative (NCSC) alternate assessment based on alternate achievement standards in 2014-15.

Ruway is a Quechua word that means create implying responsibility for what you are making and giving artists the power to communicate messages of transcendence. Patricia Matienzo, Founder and The Designer states "The idea behind Ruway is the creation of fine and elegant new designs inspired by ancient Peruvian textiles. In travels through Peru I found artisans who still have knowledge about the techniques and materials used by Inca and pre-Inca cultures but it is gradually lost over time and for lack of economic resources. Ruway's mission is to save the history of this art and merge it with modern design ideas. We work with Peruvian artisans whose skills and artistic sensitivity we combine with our designs to create refined, elegant and beautiful handbags and jewelry. We use high quality organic palm leaves for our products, thereby preserving both the ancient tradition and the environment to create our delightful products. With the sale of every product we help the artisans and their families to feel appreciated and proud of the work they are doing and in addition provide a valuable income for their work. Enjoy the beauty of our products and share in the joy of socially responsible creativity!"

Wal-Mart pays $66,000 to settle charges that it charged customers too much for Coke.
(RNN) - After several weeks of media reports and polls saying the presidential race is too close to call, there are now predictions coming out that President Obama will cruise to a landslide victory.
It sounds improbable after Mitt Romney was praised for his first debate performance and seemed to gather strong momentum to revive the GOP base and attract the attention of independent voters, but new polls and a few pundits say Obama will be the clear victor.
Nate Silver, the statistician and poll analyst for the New York Times who correctly predicted the outcome of 49 states in the 2008 election, wrote that Obama has a 92 percent chance of victory after averages from 12 national polls are looked at side-by-side with individual state polls in battleground states.
Silver writes that Obama leads polls in 19 battleground states, whereas Romney only leads in 3.
There are multiple scenarios that would give Romney an electoral college win, Silver writes, but that would mean a lot of polls would have to be wrong, and the statistic probability of a Romney win is about 8 percent - the same as getting an inside straight in a poker game.
Despite the numbers being in Obama's favor, Silver still believes it will be a tight race.
"IMPORTANT: That we have Obama as a ~90% favorite does NOT mean we're predicting a landslide. We expect a close election," he tweeted Tuesday morning.
Neuroscientists have also called for an Obama victory. Sam Wang, a neuroscientist and biophysicist at Princeton University, applied statistical models he uses in figuring out people's brains to the presidential election.
Using two different (and very complicated) statistical models, Wang predicts either a 98.2 percent chance of an Obama re-election or a 99.8 percent chance. He also sees Obama winning 332 electoral votes while Romney only nabs a mere 206.
But it's not just polls that are making the case for a big Obama win; field organizing in battleground states is also seen as a huge edge for the president.
Journalist Al Giordano has interviewed Obama campaign volunteers working on-the-ground in battleground states and it appears that the president's organizing team is much more active than Romney volunteers and possibly even stronger than it was in 2008.
"There are more troops on the ground today than [Obama] had four years ago," Giordano wrote. "In the language of the architect of the most recent Super Bowl victor, New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin, they are 'finishing' strong."
That is especially evident on Ohio, where Giordano says Obama's field organization is not only stronger than Romney's, but assisted with 2,500 lawyers who are currently in the state in case issues of voter suppression or fraud arise.
And with strong organizing on the ground, phone banks around the country dialing in, and an edge in early voting, Giordano predicts an Obama win in North Carolina - despite several polls giving Romney a win there.
"In 2008, the polling organizations SurveyUSA, Mason-Dixon, Rasmussen and Zogby all had McCain beating Obama in North Carolina in their final pre-election polls," Giordano wrote. "How did Obama overcome that to win? Superior field organization."
Of course, there are also predictions of a Romney landslide, too.
Conservative columnist George Will is expecting a big Romney win, in part due to evangelical voters in Minnesota.
"I'm projecting Minnesota to go for Romney," Will said on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos. "It's the only state that's voted Democratic in nine consecutive elections, but this year, there's the marriage amendment on the ballot that will bring out the evangelicals, and I think could make the difference."
The marriage amendment aims to define marriage as a union strictly between a man and a woman.
Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh also called for a Romney win based on the "Redskin Rule," which says the out-of-party wins the presidency when the Redskins lose the home game before an election.
"If the Redskins win at home, the incumbent party wins the presidential race, 17 out of 18 times going back to 1940," Limbaugh said on his show. "If the Redskins lose at home, the challenger prevails. Well, the Redskins lost to the Carolina Panthers. That means Romney wins."
With stats, campaign strategy analyses, marriage amendments, and football rules being used to try and determine the outcome of the election, some people might prefer to listen to Bob Dylan.
"Don't believe the media," Dylan told a crowd during an Obama campaign rally, according to the Associated Press. "I think it's going to be a landslide."

Mike Bowlin wrote:Back in time I learned a trick from chef and author Madeleine Kamman and that is to use 'french pepper' in place of black pepper.
French pepper is freshly ground Jamaican Allspice (30%) and Indian Malabar black peppercorns (70%). I have an old iron Welch coffee grinder that grinds the
two together(medium grind not fine) into a small capped pepper cell that I keep next to the stove top. The additional flavor just makes pepper more interesting and I use it in every recipe that calls for black pepper. I grind small batches (3 tablespoons) so that it is always fresh.

A giant, yellow school bus tends to stand out in a crowd, but that didn't stop a woman, a Rochester Hills bus driver, from using one while allegedly committing a crime.
53-year-old Roseanne Stacho is accused of shoplifting Friday at the Parisian store on North Adams in Rochester Hills while she was on the job and while her big yellow bus was in the parking lot.
"Just doesn't pay to get involved in these kind of things, and certainly taking a school bus like that to a commit a small crime, big crime, any crime (is) going to draw a lot of attention," said Oakland County Sheriff's Department Major Robert Smith.
The sheriff's department said Stacho herself drew attention right away because employees had seen her there acting suspiciously before. They said she carried a shopping bag and went to try on clothes, then came out and walked out without paying for about $500 worth of merchandise.
"Just a textbook, garden variety shoplifting that never usually ends up well for the person stealing from the store," Smith said.
Once she was caught, Stacho told deputies about the bus. Representatives from the bus garage had to come and get it as she was carted off to jail.
We called the school district and the transportation department to find out whether Stacho still has her job. So far, our calls have not been returned.
Stacho was arraigned for shoplifting and released on $10,000 personal bond.

Labeling your input can help you to remember what is connected to each input and in some cases can improve picture quality. To label the inputs on your TV, follow these steps:
Tip: If you label an input "PC" your TV will scale the image differently to improve the picture quality from a PC. Labeling the input "PC" will also allow you to use the PC options in the TV but will gray out the TV options.
Note: The sections names are displayed on the left side of the screen.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have renamed all the inputs that you would like to name. These names can always be changed.

In an amazing Friday morning press conference in Washington DC, the National Rifle Association broke its week long silence following the horrific shooting of 26 people at a school in Newtown, CT and called for a surge of gun-carrying "good guys" around American schools.
NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre called for a new kind of American domestic security revolving around armed civilians, arguing that "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
"We care about our president, so we protect him with armed Secret Service agents," LaPierre said. "Members of Congress work in offices surrounded by Capitol Police officers. Yet, when it comes to our most beloved, innocent, and vulnerable members of the American family, our children, we as a society leave them every day utterly defenseless, and the monsters and the predators of the world know it, and exploit it."
LaPierre's speech was a call to supporters to mobilize around a new vision of American domestic security, at a time when voices for gun control are steadily rising. On Friday morning before the press conference, President Obama released a video (above) citing a petition by hundreds of Americans calling for swift action.
At the grassroots level, groups like Newtown United, a group of Newtown neighbors, are working to address major issues related to the tragedy, including gun control, violent media, mental health and legislation.
Newtown locals responded to the NRA press conference. Suzy DeYoung, a Newtown parent, coach and resident for nine years who has three children, said LaPierre's speech was playing to people's fears.
"People are much smarter than this," DeYoung said. "He is saying we need to be protected from guns by more guns. This lack of logic speaks for itself, and I truly believe the response you are abut to see from parents all around the world will offer better commentary than I ever could."
Joanna Zachos, a mother in Sandy Hook, CT said that while she supports an increase in gun control and personally does not believe in guns at all, that the larger problem goes "way beyond that."
"The problem we have is our immunity to violence as a society as a whole," she said. "Violent video games, violent movies, addiction to horror films. We've developed immunity to violence and violent images."
LaPierre also lamented violence in video games, music videos and "blood-soaked" films. But his central solution seemed to be a great mobilization of gun-carrying "good guys," a term he used repeatedly but did not define, who might be more present and respond more quickly than police.
"If we truly cherish our kids, more than our money, more than our celebrities, more than our sports stadiums, we must give them the greatest level of protection possible," LaPierre said. "And that security is only available with properly trained, armed 'good guys'."
LaPierre, who was interrupted twice by protesters who held signs in front of TV cameras, made a direct call for local action.
"I call on every parent. I call on every teacher. I call on every school administrator, every law enforcement officer in this country, to join with us and help create a national schools shield safety program to protect our children with the only positive line of defense that's tested and proven to work," he said.
LaPierre did not take questions from reporters, and did not acknowledge the protesters.
Tucker Patch contributor Molly Darden commented on Facebook: "NRA's LaPierre blames media, video games, films, music videos for our culture of violence. He defends guns, speaks against gun legislation, advocates for guns in schools. He manipulates emotions to sell his clients' guns. Says every school should provide armed police officers. Doesn't address possibility of vigilantism. Initiates program "to provide for global school protection." Really? Let's see. It is important to note that, when 'experts' recommend a certain type of gun for school protection, those guns will have to be purchased, and gun manufacturers will profit. NRA is the lobbyist for gun manufacturers, a $13.6bn industry."
What do you think about LaPierre's statement? Does Tucker need more guns to protect our kids? Tell us in the comments-

Saturday, kind of casual, but usually a little more time spent shopping, cooking and organizing than a weekday.
So, what's for dinner?
We're planning saffron rice, with a sauted tomato, pine nut and onion sauce, topped by grilled lamb kebabs. This dish is modelled on a favourite from a Middle Eastern restaurant. I have to work on getting more flavour into the sauce, the restaurant's version is much better than mine.
Dessert is going to be a Tangerine Chiffon Pie with a rich shortbread crust, from the current issue of Martha Stewart's magazine.

Statement of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan—FY 2014 Budget Request
Good morning Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee. I'm pleased to be here today to talk with you about President Obama's priorities and plans for the Department of Education.
I'm happy we were able to submit the President's 2014 Budget to the Congress last week, and to have this opportunity to talk with you today about some of the President's major proposals.
Value Choices: Investing in High-Quality Preschool
It's a pleasure to be here and to participate in the launch of the state's new Early Childhood strategic plan
My friend Governor Markell has been an amazing partner and an extraordinary leader for children in Delaware. And Delaware is helping lead the nation where we need to go through its Race to the Top program and its Race to the Top-Early Learning challenge reforms.

Greetings to Senators Howard Baker and Nancy Kassebaum Baker. And to Dr. Cheek and other education leaders from around the state, thank you for having me here today.
I'm honored to be a part of the Distinguished Baker Lecture series. And I am thrilled to have this opportunity to talk about how Tennessee is helping to lead the nation to where we need to go in education.
A Level Playing Field, an Equal Starting Line
Remarks of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Legislative Summit, March 19, 2013
I'm delighted to see this legislative summit's concentration on education as the linchpin of prosperity and the economic game-changer for Hispanics.
The Good News-Bad News Story of Education
It is a pleasure to talk to the members of the NNPA, who have played such an important role in giving voice to communities whose voices too often go unheard.
One of the most extraordinary opportunities in my job is that I get to visit hallowed ground. I have had the honor of standing in the footsteps of giants who fought and won battles for equal educational opportunity.
Smart Investments in Early Learning
Rolling Terrace Elementary School represents so much of what we want our country to be like and aspire to. Many of the students at Rolling Terrace grow up in poverty and the children speak as many as 35 different languagesit's a baby United Nations! But the children are thriving. They have great adults who take care of them and are excited to work with them.
Supporting and Strengthening School Leadership
It's a pleasure to speak again to principals, and to be back before the NASSP.
I'm going to keep my remarks relatively brief. I want to speak first to the impact that sequestration could have on educating our children and youth. And then I want to talk about three elements of our second term agenda that will especially impact principals.

Number One- Don't Bail Yet
Giants head coach Tom Coughlin knows he needs to get David Wilson the ball. He's said as much. Da'Rel Scott and Brandon Jacobs had 14 touches for 36 yards in the loss to Denver? The Giants can't have Eli Manning throwing the ball has much as he has, seven interceptions and no wins. They know they have to establish a running game. As frustrating as his first couple of weeks have been (and I own him in a couple leagues), I'm not cutting bait on him quite yet. Scott and Jacobs don't strike me as guys that can cut into his fantasy value on a consistent basis. Now if we're still in this boat two weeks from now, then we can reassess.
Number Two- Clarity in Denver?
One week after saying that I wouldn't touch the Denver running back fiasco that is the three headed monster (Ball/Hillman/. Moreno) until we got an idea of who might establish himself as the lead dog, we may have our answer, and it's not who we would have thought going into the regular season. With LT Ryan Clady officially going on IR, Knowshon Moreno (by default and because he's the best in pass protection could very well establish himself as the top guy in Denver. Does that mean much? It means he's going to be on the field more than Hillman or Ball. Beyond that, who knows? But the door is open just a crack for Moreno, the question is can he do it. So far he's looked slow and plodding. I still have my doubts.
Number Three- Royal Pain
Someone had to be the main target for Philip Rivers. Many of us (me included) thought Danario Alexander would be that guy, but we should have known that he couldn't be counted on and boom, down he goes with a torn ACL. Malcolm Floyd left week two with a scary neck injury and Eddie Royal has stepped up nice.ly Ten catches from 14 targets with five touchdowns is a crazy start to the season. The odds say he can't keep up this pace, although he's clearly supplanted Keenan Allen and Vincent Brown as THE guy in San Diego. His 2008 rookie season in Denver (91-980-5) tells me he has the staying power.
Number Four- Jump on Hopkins
More than anyone else in this years wide receiver draft class, I love DeAndre Hopkins. He's got a crazy skillset and as he proved in week 2 he can be targeted to make the big play. Andre Johnson is getting a little long in the tooth and the Texans have never had a real running mate for him. That may have officially changed. Houston's offense is still predicated on running the ball, but this may be just what the doctor ordered. And going up against Jacksonville, Tennessee and Indianapolis two times a year doesn't hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being the top fantasy rookie wide receiver at the end of the season.
Number Five- Where Cordarrelle?
Minnesota Vikings fans were thrilled (most were), on draft day when General Manager Rick Spielman traded three picks to New England to get back into the first round and grab dynamic, albeit raw wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson. He was billed as a "bigger, faster, stronger" Percy Harvin. So after flashing some skills in the pre-season and playing a combined six snaps in the first two games, there was some question about what the Vikings are (not) doing. This comes on the heels of a 105 yard kickoff return for a touchdown to begin the game in Chicago. Vikings Coach Leslie Frazier said it will be "rectified" when asked about his lack of playing time. Something to monitor going forward is not only Patterson as the player, but also the Vikings Defense and Special Teams for those that get awarded kickoff return touchdowns, which is pretty much everyone.
BONUS: Cleveland, umm... rocks?
I was a Trent Richardson fan coming into the year. I had high expectations that he could surpass his rookie season (950 yards and 11 touchdowns). Considering what the Browns gave up last year in the draft to move up one spot to get him, I was as shocked as anyone when he was dealt to Indianapolis. I was immediately asked, well who takes his spot? Willis McGahee is the horizon, assuming he passes his physical. The current starting tailback Chris Rainey has a career total of zero carries. Chris Ogbonnaya may be the third down back and get a few catches in the meantime. Sounds like McGahee will be the guy to target, but we won't know roles for at least a couple weeks. Temper your expectations.Chris Tubbs is the Co-Host of "Sports Talk With Craig and Chris" weekdays from 3pm-6pm CT and "Fantasy Football Thursday" Thurs. from 5:15pm-6:00pm on AM1230, FM98.1, KWSN in Sioux Falls, SD.

The Prehistoric Disasters DVD follows the catastrophic events that have molded the earth over time. From the birth of the planet to the melting of ice burgs to asteroid strikes, each of the effects has created massive destruction to life on earth. The earth DVDs Prehistoric Disasters goes in depth to reveal the evolution of earth.
The Prehistoric Disasters DVD is exclusive to the Discovery Channel Store.
Since the Earth's creation 4.5 billion years ago, the planet has been struck by a series of catastrophes, each one pushing life to the edge of extinction. The Earth DVDs show that from disaster comes new life - and while the dominant species on the planet were wiped out, hardier creatures survived and thrived, moving into the vacuum left by the extinction. These creatures in turn took over the planet until they themselves fell victim to yet another mass extinction. The Prehistoric Disasters science DVDs show that Earth's history is rife with prehistoric disasters that have molded the planet and changed the course of evolution. But with each disaster came another leap forward on the evolutionary trail from single celled bacteria to humankind itself. During the Prehistoric Disasters Discovery DVDs you learn that without this series of events, neither mankind nor any of the life we see around us would be here today. 1 Birth of the Planet: 30 million years after Earth's birth a cataclysmic collision almost destroyed the planet completely. Instead this chance collision formed the moon, triggering an extraordinary sequence of events that formed this unique planet teaming with life. 2. Snowball Earth: In the Australian outback a smooth gray stone stands out in the parched red earth. It is over 630 million years old and proves that Australia used to be buried under ice. Could this controversial theory be the key to the evolution of mankind on Earth? 3. Planet of Fire: 250 Million years ago Earth's only continent, Pangea, was a lush oasis swarming with life. Then, a massive extinction wiped out 95% of life on earth. Now, scientists believe they have uncovered the event responsible for the largest extinction in history. 4. Asteroid Strike: Dinosaurs arose as rulers of the Earth 250 million years ago, but their reign soon ended in catastrophe, paving the way for mammals and eventually humans to flourish. Evidence shows that a cosmic impact was responsible, but where did it hit Earth?

Back in June 556 people dressed up as Superman and broke the previous record. Well it has been broken again by 867 people at the Kendal Calling Festival in the Lake District. These people were gathered to support the Help for Heroes Charity, a charity for injured servicemen and their families.
In fact the company gave away hundreds of costumes to encourage people to join in the record setting attempt. IN all, 1200 people were at the music festival dressed as Superman but only 867 showed up for the attempt. Which was still enough to beat the previous record.

TN:Cantina Terlan pinot bianco 1980
Thanks to Paolo Lolli, for letting me have both his bottles to come straight from Cantina Terlan. Unfortunately the label was almost destroyed, so I don't know if there is more info to add to the name. The straw colour was a very healthy and young looking. Fresh nose, a bit shy at first, but with air, showing very beautiful and complex. Floral, smokey background and very minerally. Medium bodied and elegant in the mouth. Surprisingly young and crisp style. But with an evolved floral and mineral fruit. Good length. Great wine. Fantastic food-wine.
There was also some recently released '66 around. Unfortunately I did not have a chance to taste it.
Jenise wrote: I've had a gamut of them, from the not-quite-chard style of California's Chalone Vineyards to this not-quite-pinot-gris style from St. Innocent.

These Etnies don't just look fantastic, they are amazingly comfortable and warm in the winterweather. On the other hand, that's one of the biggest perks of Etnies as a whole, so I didn't expect less. The Siesta boots are true to (Etnies) size; I'm usually a 40, but with Etnies I always need 41.
I got them on sale and in that way they're great value for money. It's not that they aren't worth full retail per se, as it's obvious the quality is good and they will last probably a few winters/at least one year round. I hope I'll be enjoying these for some time to come and I think it's great Etnies has some boots in their selection.
The only (somewhat) downside I can think off is that the elastic bands on the back of the boots (over the grey) tend to loosen up rather fast. This is however not a problem in wearing; the boots will stay up and only have the slouch effect as seen on the picture.
All in all great boots, very happy with them and I will definitely keep an eye out for other Etniesboots when I need some again.

Near the end, while sitting reading this article in a public cafe, I teared up. As a previous owner of a very geriatic golden retriever, and friend of a couple who ONLY adopted geriatic golden retreivers, I encountered this situation everytime I let someone in my house. I knew she was old everytime she took a little longer than the other younger dogs to get up and hobble over for attention from the visitors, and I definitely didn't need them to remind me of the differences between her and our two year old australian shepherd. I miss her every day, and look to the future with our 3 and 2 year old dogs with some trepidation, but know the heartbreak is worth it for all the years of laughter, love and comfort.

I guess I'm lucky or maybe it's because I'm usually in dog parks with other dog owners but I've never heard anything but kind wordsnin relation to my 14 and a half year old staffordshire boxer mix. Comments such as wow, she's doing great, she's so cute, and discussions about her arthritis and what to do about it are all I've heard. Hmm, maybe the operative phrase here is "other dog owners." those who get it, that is.

Thank you for that insightful article. I hope I am never one of the impolite people who say that about someone's dog because I know how it would make me feel. I try to be sensitive about what I say about old animals and old people. Just months before my Mother died someone asked in front of her just how long people in her family live and did I think she would make it. Cruel people. I love my dogs and wish they could live forever, but alas, they don't even live as long as we do so our hearts will be broken many times.

Very interesting post. I have had just the opposite experience. Wonder if geography has something to do with it? I live in a very dog-friendly (dogs are part of the family) location. I just lost my older golden last September, he was almost 17. I did get comments asking me how old he was, but I looked at it differently. I was proud that my dog had lived to be old enough to be asked that question. And, invariably, the response was "Wow, that's great, especially for a big dog, you must take really good care of him." Yes, the underlying sentiment that the dog isn't going to last much longer is always there, but is it there because people say it or because we fear/know it, or both? Just a thought. I started fearing that when my golden reached 10, and I had almost 7 more great years.

I have an old dog and she is not my first. When I see someone with an old dog (or cat), I will ask them the age. And then I always say "you can be so proud of that". It's meant as a compliment to the owner for taking such great care of the pet and loving it no matter what it's age or physical condition.

My dog, a rescue Italian Greyhound-Jack Russell mix who has 3 legs (her front right leg was injured beyond repair prior to our meeting) is also a lovely senior dog. Your article really struck a chord with me because we get all sorts of comments out on walks - things I would never think of saying to people and/or dogs. When I get angry about the stupid things that stupid people say, I remind myself that our veterinarian tells me that I'm doing a wonderful job keeping her healthy. I wish people had better manners...like dogs...dogs have excellent manners at all times!

Beautifully and timely written!
As the proud mom of a senior dog, and a canine massage therapist, I see the effects of aging on our companions every day. As senior dog 'parents' or caregivers it's easy for us to point out others' faux pas and say tsk tsk, but here you've given some compassionate and constructive ideas for how people can deal with their own discomfort (and hopefully unintended) ignorance.
Thank you!

Great article! We lost our beloved Bumper in August to Cancer. She has a spindle cell tumor that grew to the size of a basketball on her back. There were times I would come home crying from the people who would stop their cars to stare at us while we were walking. Bumper loved car rides, so we'd take her to local pet stores....

My neghbors where I live dont like me because I am the proud loving Momma of 5 Staffys, they consider my dogs vicious simply because of their breed, Im am so tired of peoples ignorance, my 6month old puppy ran outside the other day because med transport was here dropping Grandma off from dialysis and my baby wanted to greet her with lots of love and energy, as my puppy is jumping and licking my Mom the neighbor comes outside and shouts "YOU NEED TO CHAIN THAT THING UP BEFORE I CALL THE ANIMAL CONTROL!" Are you kidding me? chain my dog up? so my reply was " why dont you mind your businss and get inside, if your so scared why did you come outside?" I know the answer to that question already,its because my dogs are "pitbulls" and for that reason my family is public enemy#1, we are subjected to ignorance and criticism whenever we step outside. we paid over 400k for our house but Im ready to move to a place that is more accepting of my family.

On the other hand, when my sweet basset mix was almost 16 and had just had surgery for a malignant tumor, from which I knew he would ultimately die, strangers who saw his scar often shared their own tales of love, aging, and loss in the dog world. It was a great comfort to find so much company in the sad, but wonderful last few months of Ralph's life. I made some great friends and had some deep conversations about the nature of life and death and love.
Submitted by Anonymous | February 27 2011 | Permalink
Thank you for your response. It made good sense. Death is part of life and we might as well treat it as such and not try to pretend there ought to be some special exemption in conversation about an aging animal. For the most part, people want to say the right thing, but they might not. They shouldn't be condemned for striking up a conversation.
I'm not sure I understand the point of the article. As animal guardians, we have to live with the elderly, sick, or infirm creature. People are going to ask questions. Some people understand because they've had experience and some people don't because they haven't. Some people are just plain ignorant. But to expect people to say exactly the right thing about an animal or say nothing at all is unreasonable. If one is so easily insulted, maybe staying away from people who might ask questions is the only solution.

As the owner (slave?) of well-bred, well-trained, well-behaved Dobermans, I completely sympathize with the author of this article -- regarding both the joy and heartbreak of living with an aged companion, and the reactions of some people to that companion. One gets so tired of ignorant or ill-meaning remarks. One does NOT expect strangers to "say exactly the right thing about an animal," but a little thought before saying something downright rude -- or saying nothing at all -- would be appreciated.

I am currently the slave/Mama of 2 Dobermans myself and I have had to deal with insensitive comments from all sorts of people over my dogs, I lost a Doberman who was just over 2 yrs old to DCM (I had to release him) but during the time time that we were trying so hard to save him, I was continually disgusted by the remarks I got about what a sin it was to spend what we were spending on him... At the same time as we were dealing with his issues my 21 year old beagle boy was failing, and had become incontinent, yet he still loved his food, pushing his subjects (dobermans) around and dancing for Mama when I got home.... The last thing I needed was for all these (not) so well meaning people to tell me how much easier it would be to just have them both put down. I knew far better than they did that I was going to have to deal with the loss of my babies soon and that it would be my duty to trade their pain for mine.... sometimes I hate people!

One day I saw a woman asleep in front of the local laundermat. I woke her up and asked if she was ok. She replied yes and went back to sleep. Hours later I passed her again and she was stumbling down the block and intermittantly leaning against the wall. I called 911 immediatley. Where were all these wonderful caring people who make comments about my beautiful geriatric dog every time I walk him? It's sad that people make comments about a dog who is being cared for but will completely ignore a situation where their response could be life-saving. Genuine concern for other living creatures and nosinenss are indeed mutually exclusive.

WONDERFUL article! THANK YOU for this.
I had an old dog. I lost him 7/16/09 at age 16 and 7 months. We battled glaucoma in one eye, vestibular disease, cushings, and then lymphoma. I know how insensitive people can be. People thought I was crazy for all the care I gave, and money I spent. Some made comments about me treating his cushings, and even worse, that we treated his lymphoma (which got us 8 cancer free GOOD months). He was old... they didn't know why I would bother or why I would "put him through" that. I made choices for Niko that I believed he would have made for himself. His quality of life was the most important thing in the world to me... did they not consider that?! I knew where to draw the lines, but with excellent vet care, acupuncture, and a homemade diet, my 16 1/2 yr old dog walked over a mile each evening, until the last week of his life. Those passer-byres were astounded to learn of his age.
I lost my heart the day I lost my Niko, but am forever grateful for having been privileged enough to have spent all his years with him, including the senior ones where I was finally able to 'give back' to him for all he gave me.

I have a 24 year old tea cup poodle (DEE DEE). She is a prissy thing. She was left to me by and Old Friend who passed about 9 years ago. She was 15 when i got her and she loves to get groomed and lay around and be preety. She is lively and spunky and her new vet ( because of relocation can not beleive she has lasted so long. She has lost some teeth as we all do when we get old..lol.. but she remains to be the spunky old girl that my family has grown to love. It makes me kind of angry when she gets refused service from well know places like Petsmart etc for grooming because of her age. I was turned away and she seemed more disapointed than i was. She heard the dog clippers and got excited because she loves looking pretty.. You should have seen her face when i left my younger dog there and put her on the leash to walk her out the door... It sucked... So now i have found her a doggie spa... Thants Petsmart, she gets a full service for the same price.. I LOVE MY DOGS....

This was a nice article! A good friend of mine had an elderly dog at the same time I did, and we regularly took the two of them out together. We practiced the buddy system when it came to derisive comments. My serene Great Dane mix, and her gentlemanly yellow Lab were the picture of dignified canine aging; we did not let anyone suggest otherwise. We'd meet callous or thoughtless comments with, "we should all age so well!," or, "you are only as old as you feel!"

So well put! I agree a lot of "rudeness" is really just ignorance. People view their dogs differently now than they did several years ago. What would have been normal questions or comments that would have been deemed ok then, seem rude to us now.

More power to you! I couldn't have said it better myself. As a volunteer at a dog rescue I am continually trying to convey to potential adopters the appeal of seniors and even adults over the "cute little puppy" that they think they want (even when they aren't home enough to teach the puppy manners or housebreaking). I wish more people realized the value of seniors.

My 10-yr old Corgi, The Barney Dog, was recently diagnosed w/ lymphoma. We go in weekly for chemo treatments and the "cancer dogs" report in at the facility between 7:30 and 8am. It is the best and worst time of day for me. There are some dogs doing great in remission and some bouncing along after surgery to remove a tumor or limb or organ, depending on what type of cancer it was or what organ was affected. Since lymphoma is systemic, surgery wasn't an option but he IS in remission. Barney's coping mechanism was to start a blog - http://fightingk9lymphoma.blogspot.com/
Every week there are some dogs checking in that are obviously in pain and suffering. One poor girl was shaking and drooling as her elderly owner explained that her bowel movements were all liquid in the last week. The dogs eyes looked as if she was begging me to help. I spoke to the vet after she left and she said that she'd suggested "letting go" but the woman would not have anything to do with it. The dog was her husband's and her husband died last year and that dog was the last thing she had left to remind her of him.
The Barney Dog's doing fine. If he ever has a down day and someone says anything close to "...have you ever thought about..." I'll probably hit them. As long as he has a good quality of life, I will do everything I can to see that he stays that way. I just hope that I will have the strength to know when I am keeping him alive for ME and not for him and that I will do the right thing.

Hi Susan! I'm so glad Barney is in remission. We battled lymphoma too. My boy was almost 16 when dxed. We had 8 months of remission with just 4 doxo treatments. Barney is just adorable, and it sounds like you keep his best interests in mind. :) The lady at the vet that you describe, breaks my heart. People can be so selfish. To love a dog, I think you need to be ready to break your own heart for them.

People are insensative. When I see someone walking an older dog I get so happy for the dog! I know how much he is loving those steps with his owner. I pet them get down at their level and play with them. I know it's hard for them to do certain things but they love it even more and so do their owners. I will love my dogs and now cat too (he was recently found at a gas station and owners have never come forward)the same today and the same as they age. We all will walk that walk and we should all be treated with dignity.

That's a very beautiful article about this sensitive subject. I'm just thinking that these people are stupid and/or lack common sense. If they felt as we ( the dog people) do about our pets they would not ever say that. Personally I fall in love, just like with older ladies, with their beauty. All us old gals like compliments, why the heck would anyone not?? Didn't Mama say "If you don't have something nice to say shut up" Mine did.

I think anyone should keep their dog alive as long as they like as long as their geriatric pet is getting regular vet check ups and is living pain free and comfortable. I agree it's very insensitive to say something. It's so very hard to let them go.

This article is exactly where we are with our dog. I wanted a dog my entire life, and he's my first. The only thing I would disagree with as far as Othello goes is that he couldn't have gotten any sweeter than the first day that I met him. We brought him home from the animal shelter only to discover two days later that he had parvo - we didn't even know what that was! 12 years later I was appalled just the other day when someone stopped to pet him and said "Wow, he's really old isn't he?" Truly, like I hadn't noticed and like they didn't realize that the implication of what they were saying was - 'hey - do you realize he hasn't got much longer to live?'It seems every day we are assessing how bad his arthritis is and if we are in denial. It doesn't help that friends just put two of their dogs down after criticizing another friend for waiting too long. I dread taking him to their place now. But then, just today, he ran to meet my husband getting home from work, and ate more than I did! All we can hope is that we make the right decision when we have to. And I'd hate to think that any part of that decision was based on what other people think they know about my dog.

Loved the article. I am so lucky to have two dogs in their twilight years. Max is a BT that I rescued when he was one and now is 11. You would never now he was so old. He still plays like a puppy. Belle, a BT mix, I rescued as a puppy and now is almost 12. She has cushings and although she has arthritis she never misses a chance to tree a squirrel. I was also fortunate to be able to see her brother and sister just this past weekend and they are all aging beautifully too. I am enjoying them in their twilight years more than when they were puppies. I don't have chewed up shoes or peed on floors. I just have a lot of pure love.

Over the years, living in New York City, I decided to just be a bitch right back. When my now 13 year old french bulldog was younger and had terrible skin allergies and bald spots strangers used to tell me my dog needs to go to the vet--as if my whole waking life wasn't spent trying to cure it and make his skin better, and he wasn't being treated for it. I would reply that they needed to go to the dermatologist or whatnot if they themselves had bad skin. People would come up and tell me how cruel it was to dock my dog's ears or tail (frenchies are born with "bat ears" and nub tails). I would tell them I had a boob job or nose job (both untrue) and ask them if they wanted to talk about it. **Side note** I don't condone clipped ears or tails, but it's none of my business.
Now that he's getting up in years, and is in great health for his age, when people talk about how old is he, if I'm in a nice mood I say: "he's not old, he's sophisticated." If I've heard it too many times, or people mention specific things, I snap back and tell them "You're old. How much longer do you think you have?" If they talk about his grey muzzle, I tell them they need to go get their hair died.
I know it's mean to say those things, but if they are not going to mind their own business, why should I mind mine? And this is New York after all. . .
I also get a kick out of telling people who are wearing fur that they can't pet my dogs because I'm afraid they'll make a coat out of them. They are stunned by this. It makes their husbands real mad if they are with their wives and bought them that $25,000.00 mink coat. Haha.

What, are people supposed to PRAISE fur-wearers? Big difference between hurting someone's feelings about their beloved and aging pet and giving a dose of reality to some vain person who, in this day and age, with all the publicity about fur, has NO excuse NOT to know how furbearing animals are trapped or the inhumane conditions surrounding their slaughter when they are raised commercially. Nothing but vanity at work there; people choose to ignore the suffering of furbearing animals in the absurd belief that being draped in dead animal skin makes you look "glamorous."

Caesar-Style Dressing
Traditional Caesar dressing contains raw eggs, and it's a little easier to ignore that fact at the salad bar counter or restaurant than it is when you're mixing up your own dressing. This version calls for mayonnaise instead, along with anchovies, capers, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
Recipe: Caesar-Style Dressing
Sesame Tofu Dressing
Love creamy dressings, but hate all the extra fat? Whip up this smooth, rich, tofu-based dressing that's far leaner and packs a protein punch to boot.

Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing
Making your own blue cheese dressing at home is easy. Simply whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, and white wine vinegar. Add crumbled blue cheese and mash with a spoon.
No buttermilk in the house? You can make some of your own from regular milk by pouring half a tablespoon of white vinegar (or lemon juice) in a measuring cup, then adding milk to the 1/2-cup line and letting stand for five minutes.
Recipe: Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

Shallot and Grapefruit Dressing
This dressing gets its citrusy "zing" from fresh grapefruit juice, while fresh cilantro adds a little Southwestern flair. It's best served over mixed greens topped with goat cheese and roasted corn.
Recipe: Shallot and Grapefruit Dressing

Junk mail still comes in the mail, and it can be just as maddening as an inbox filled with unwanted solicitations. One viewer called the I-Team completely frustrated at the number of letters she gets, and wanted to know how to make it stop. There is a solution, but it isn't perfect.The viewer from Newnan says she gets dozens of unsolicited letters about every two days. In one, she's owed $1.3 million. In another, she could win $3.2 million. But, they all require a fee.Admittedly, she says, this happened because her husband fell for one of them. He sent $20 for a windfall of cash that never came. Now they are on some sort of list they can't seem to get off of. So on her behalf, the I-Team called the Federal Trade Commission to find out just what she can do about this. Well, there is good news and bad news. The good news, click here! It will take you to the Direct Marketing Association's web site where you can opt out of commercial mailers for five years. This will reduce a lot of your junk mail. But here's the bad news: it only works if the companies that send you the junk actually participate in the Direct Marketing Association's program. In the meantime, shred the junk mail you receive. Then, use that shredded paper as packing material if you have to ship a package or store a breakable item.

Dairy: This is the most common food allergy, with the most obvious symptoms. Doctors frequently misdiagnose milk protein allergies as lactose intolerance, which is a completely different problem entirely (and virtually nonexistant in children under age 4).
Symptoms of milk protein allergy include eczema, rough, patchy rashes, contact rash, mucus in stool, constant runny nose, wheezing, diaper rash with fine, red bumps, nausea, painful gas, and vomiting.
Soy: 40% of babies with a milk protein allergy also have a problem with soy, so it can be a good idea to cut both out when doing an elimination diet.
Symptomsinclude sudden, hives-like contact rash, gas, loose stool, and vomiting.
Egg: Egg was Jamie's worst allergy, and even a tiny bit of it in my diet was
enough to cause troubles for him. Egg is also contained within some vaccines.
Symptoms include rash, eczema, painful gas, loose stool, vomiting, and sudden, itchy contact rash.
Wheat: Signs of wheat allergy usually include eczema with a flat, red dotted rash and runny nose. If baby has a runny nose when dairy has been eliminated for >2 weeks, there's a good chance of wheat allergy.
Corn: Corn allergies can be extremely hard to diagnose (or eliminate once a diagnosis has been made) since it's in every-freaking-thing. Watch for corn syrup, HFCS, corn oil, etc. Symptoms include vomiting (either suddenly or delayed by up to an hour), contact rash, and eczema. Vomiting is the big one to look for.
Care needs to be taken when eliminating these foods from your diet, as they can be well hidden under other names (Whey and Casein also carry dairy) or could be well hidden in a food (i.e. something fried in butter, or brushed with egg)

Sizing Information
- Compact: 15.50"(W) x 10.00"(H) x 5.00"(D)
Our Two Cents
These saddlebags are designed to be installed underneath the rear passenger seat of cruiser style motorcycles.
Always use saddlebag supports (a.k.a. saddlebag guards/saddlebag stays) when installing saddlebags on a cruiser style motorcycle. Failure to do so is a safety hazard and can result in damage to the saddlebags and/or damage to the motorcycle.
It was a super tight fit, but we were able to fit the contents of the overnighter package in these saddlebags.
