All the talk about "trade" deals might seem complicated, with all the "TPP" and "TPA" and "FTA" and "TTIP" floating around. It doesn't have to be difficult, though.
Watch Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, explain "fast track" trade promotion authority in just 7 words:
"It means lost jobs and lower wages."
Watch Elizabeth Warren talk about these trade deals.
Watch former Labor Secretary Robert Reich explain the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
TPP is the largest "trade" deal in history. It is being negotiated in secret. It is immense, complex and written in international legalese. But fast track means Congress has to pass it within 90 days of the public seeing it for the first time. This is not enough time to read it, understand it, analyze all the pieces of it, consider all of the ramifications and explain all of that to people.
Fast track does not give We the People enough time to organize opposition if opposition turns out to be warranted. And that is the point.

This picture of a lake at Interlaken, Switzerland gives you an idea of how people congregate and live near bodies of water. Would you choose to live on a lake? Vote for your favorite water body and let us know.
By the way, the water cycle, many thousands of years ago, was responsible for the mountainous scene you see here. It happened during the last Ice Age, about 18,000 years ago. The U-shaped (happy) valley (looks like a smile, right?) between the mountains is a dead giveaway that tremendous glaciers once existed here and carved out the valley leading to the lake.
This picture also shows how lakes serve many purposes. From the beginning of human times, people lived near water bodies for water supply and also to get rid of wastes. I'm sure the people living here in Interlaken would tell you that the lake adds to the aesthetic pleasure of life....as well as to the property values of those residents who live near the water.

Prestidigitation is an extremely minor spell that produces an "amusing magical trick, such as creating a dancing wisp of light, freshening a wilting flower, making a coin invisible, or warming a cold drink." It does not produce the kind of illusory effect you'd need to make it look like you were wearing something completely different than you really were. Now, according to the rules, you could use it to "color" your clothing. So, potentially, you could give your leather armor a metallic color and it might at least appear to be something other than leather armor at first glance, but wouldn't be passable for plate armor -- especially since this effect IS covered by another ability.
I think the spell you might be interested in is called "Disguise Self," which is a level 6 daily wizard utility spell. This is what it does:

Isaak, Sally Schroeder (1926-2009)
Sally Schroeder Isaak: teacher and radio broadcaster; born 19 February 1926 near St. Francois Xavier, Manitoba, Canada. She was the second of 10 children of Wilhelm Schroeder (1894-1975) and Sara (Doerksen) Schroeder (1896-1973), immigrants in 1925 from South Russia. Sally married Frank Isaak on 22 August 1987 at Steinbach, Manitoba. Sally died on 19 January 2009 in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
The Wilhelm Schroeder family moved to an isolated farming community near Steinbach, Manitoba in 1930. This is where Sally spent her early childhood, where she went to Grade school and where her father Wilhelm Schroeder served the little community with his preaching in the local school house.
A good Christian home, the experiences of church and Sunday School, and the memorization of 500 Bible verses from the gospel of John (which earned Sally a week at the Canadian Sunday School Mission Camp in Gimli, Manitoba), were all catalysts that helped her as she was confronted with the question of salvation. A gracious aunt helped Sally by pointing out Isaiah 43:1: "But now, this is what the Lord says - He who created you, O Jacob, He who formed you O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine."
After completing high school, Sally continued her education and upon graduating from Teacher's College in Winnipeg became a school teacher. She also studied at Mennonite Brethren Bible College, Winnipeg, Manitoba; Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia; Tabor College, Hillsboro, Kansas, and the Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary in Fresno, California.
Sally began her teaching career at Kleefeld, Manitoba. After three years at her first school she resigned this position and accepted a teaching assignment at Winkler, Manitoba, where she became involved in church work, singing in the Mennonite Brethren church choir and teaching Sunday school. Sally worked for one year with Mennonite Central Committee in California and returned to Winnipeg and teaching for one year after that.
From 1956 to 1987 Sally worked in the German Language Service of HCJB World Radio in Quito, Ecuador, with Mennonite Brethren Missions and Services International. While in Quito she was active in the local Spanish church. During that time Sally also earned a Masters degree in Communications from Wheaton Graduate School, Illinois, which honed her tools for good broadcasting. Although the letters from listeners, especially in South America, were positive and encouraging the programs beamed at German-speaking Europe were generally not as well received. Consequently Sally went to Germany in 1966 to spend several months living there to listen to, and interact with the listeners. The direct, honest criticism was perhaps painful at first but it provided insight, and programming was subsequently changed and tailored to meet the needs of the European radio audience.
Sally deeply appreciated her parents and siblings. Her furloughs centered on studies as well as family oriented activities. She valued her father's opinions and fondly spoke of her mother, who had became an "avid fan" of her short wave radio broadcasts. She dubbed her parents and siblings a "marvelous family."
In 1987 Sally settled in Abbotsford, BC with her husband Frank Isaak where she joined the Bakerview Mennonite Brethren Church. Sally was fluent in German and English as well as Spanish so it was here that she began a new ministry with Latin Americans leading to the establishment of Bakerview Hispanic Church.
Health problems, including diabetes, plagued Sally during her working years and cancer became a challenge in retirement. In spite of this her enthusiasm and energy, her spirit of good will and her unfaltering faith was an encouragement to all who knew her.

TURBOMOLE: Program Package for ab initio Electronic Structure Calculations
TURBOMOLE is a quantum chemical program package, initially developed in the group of Prof. Dr. Reinhart Ahlrichs at the University of Karlsruhe and at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe. Until 2007 the main development of the program was conducted by students and postdoctoral researchers in the group of Ahlrichs, who usually changed their field of work after leaving the group. Therefore, the code was well localized at and, consequently, owned by the University of Karlsruhe. However, since 2007 the situation has changed. Several people, who started their work with TURBOMOLE in Karlsruhe, still make significant contributions and feel responsible for the program, but do no longer reside in Karlsruhe. It was thus necessary to arrange the development of TURBOMOLE in a different manner, namely as a company.
In 2007, the TURBOMOLE GmbH was founded by R. Ahlrichs, F. Furche, C. Hättig, W. Klopper, M. Sierka and F. Weigend. The company took over the responsibility for the coordination of the scientific development of the program, to which it holds all copy and intellectual property rights. Today, the TURBOMOLE GmbH is owned by F. Furche, C. Hättig, M. Sierka, D. P. Tew and F. Weigend.
It has to be stressed that virtually all revenues of the company are spent exclusively on the further program development. All researchers interested in TURBOMOLE development can submit project proposals to the company. The proposals are reviewed by the main developers of TURBOMOLE GmbH. Upon acceptance of the project a cooperation agreement is made between the TURBOMOLE GmbH and the research institution of the developer and, subsequently, access to the TURBOMOLE code is granted.
With almost 30 years of continuous development TURBOMOLE has become a valuable tool used by academic and industrial researchers. It is used in research areas ranging from homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, inorganic and organic chemistry to various types of spectroscopy, and biochemistry. The philosophy behind the development of the code was, and still is, its usefulness for applications:
"Applications to molecules with more than 100 atoms -of all kinds- are mainly carried out in connection with experiments to check, correct and to predict properties of molecules and their existence."
(Reinhart Ahlrichs)
Presently TURBOMOLE is one of the fastest and most stable codes available for standard quantum chemical applications. Unlike many other programs, the main focus in the development of TURBOMOLE has not been to implement all new methods and functionals, but to provide a fast and stable code which is able to treat molecules of industrial relevance at reasonable time and memory requirements.
Prof. Dr. Reinhart Ahlrichs, who initiated with his group the TURBOMOLE program package, passed away on October 12, 2016 at the age of 76.

You can follow her on Twitter @GOPBlackChick. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.
(CNN) -- There's no "authentic" way to be black, President Barack Obama told a group.
For once, I agree with the President.
Speaking at a town hall event this week about his "My Brother's Keeper" initiative, the President gave blacks permission to be individuals, rejecting the idiotic notion that speaking proper English and being successful in life is "acting white." As if any person of any race with two grains of sense would think this is logical.
During the event, Obama was asked by a young Native American man, "How is the United States government helping American Indian people revitalize their language and culture?"
Obama responded: "What's great about America is the way that we all take these different cultures and we make one culture out of it."
Obama said that it is important for Americans to know their roots and where they come from, but not be held hostage by our cultures from advancing in life.
Then, Obama got real. He talked about how black Americans use this "group think" psychology to bully other blacks, keep them from expressing themselves as individuals and stop them from assimilating into the broader culture of America.
"Sometimes African-Americans, in communities where I've worked, there's been the notion of 'acting white' -- which sometimes is overstated," he told the group. "But there's an element of truth to it, where, OK, if boys are reading too much, then, well, why are you doing that? Or why are you speaking so properly? And the notion that there's some authentic way of being black, that if you're going to be black you have to act a certain way and wear a certain kind of clothes, that has to go. There are many different ways for African-American men to be authentic."
He went on to use his wife, first lady Michelle Obama, as an example.
"If you look at Michelle, she grew up South Side. And her mom still lives in a neighborhood where gunshots go off, and it can be rough where Michelle grew up. But she'll talk proper when she needs to. Now, you also don't want to get on her wrong side, because she can translate that into a different vernacular. But my point is, is that you don't have to act a certain way to be authentic."
I rolled my eyes in disgust, remembering all the times in my life that phrase has been hurled at me from other blacks.
Growing up, I wasn't raised in a home where we "talked or acted black" -- speaking broken English, neck jerking and behaving like the black stereotypes we see in some of the Tyler Perry movies. So, I was shocked to encounter such nonsense when I attended Georgetown University as an undergraduate.
Most of the black students -- who generally all hung out in the same pack, eating, studying and socializing exclusively together -- informed me I was an "Uncle Tom," not really black because I chose to have an integrated experience at Georgetown.
One of the biggest sins I committed was refusing to eat at the all-black cafeteria tables in the various dorms. I would wonder, if you only want to socialize with black students, then why not just attend a predominantly black college?
My freshman year, I went to a dance with a white guy from my class. When he came by my dorm room to pick me up, two black girls from across the hall stared and snickered, uttering something along the lines that I wanted to be white so bad.
The next day the same girls heckled me again about my date. Tired of dealing with their stupidity, I walked over and told them I would continue to do whatever I wanted. Instead of being so concerned with my life and who I was dating, they should be concerned with their own.
I have never been counseled on how to act black. And I never will.
More recently, my blackness was questioned by Keli Goff during an appearance on CNN last week. The two of us were discussing the illegal immigration crisis and Goff didn't like the argument I made. So she tried to insult me.
"So what I'm saying is, Crystal, I mean I don't know if you identify as African-American. I do, but if you drop me off in Africa I couldn't speak the language."
Clearly, Goff missed the President's memo. There is no litmus test for being black.

by Michael John Neill
Families rarely migrate in complete isolation. The ties of family and friends are not always obvious to the researcher several lifetimes later. The difficulty with most families lies in finding those connections that led to migration. This week we see how the databases at Ancestry, along with some detective work and analysis, can allow us to begin discerning those connections.
A Little Background
Brothers Samuel and Joseph Neill were both born in County Derry, Ireland, in the 1830s. They immigrated to New Brunswick, Canada, in 1864–Joseph, with his wife Anne Bryce (Brice), and Samuel, as a single man.Samuel married Anne Murphy in St. John in 1865 shortly after his arrival and the marriage record is the earliest documented existence I have of Samuel's wife, Anne. All later extant records on Anne Murphy Neill only indicate that she was an Irish native.
In the late 1860s, both Neill families left Canada and moved to West Point, Hancock County, Illinois. West Point was not an urban area where jobs were plentiful. It was hoped that a better understanding of the family's migration might lead to information on the origins of Anne Murphy Neill.
Census Review
I began with a careful review of the 1870 through 1910 census entries for both Samuel and Joseph Neill. My intention in reviewing entries was to:
- determine if I had overlooked any clues in the enumerations
- determine a timeline for migration from Canada to the United States
- determine if there were neighbors who were also Irish immigrants (by reading at least three pages before and after the located entries)
My review of the census entries indicated the Neills likely came to Illinois around 1867. There were a few other Irish families living nearby, but they did not settle in a neighborhood that was heavily Irish. These other families will be researched to determine if their Irish origins are geographically close to the Neills or if these families spent time in New Brunswick before settling in Illinois.
Searching the Census in Other Ways
The census indexes at Ancestry offer additional search options that should be explored. Instead of searching for names, I could search for other natives of Ireland living in the same area as the Neill family. I could perform searches for individuals with a birthplace in Ireland born within five years of 1835 in an attempt to locate other individuals roughly the same as Samuel and Joseph. All census indexes at Ancestry for censuses 1850 and later provide this option. A search of the 1910 census could also include a year of immigration in an attempt to find other Irish immigrants who immigrated in the same time frame as Joseph and Samuel. The database interface affords me search possibilities that never existed several years ago unless I read the census one page at a time.
A Warning
There is one potential pitfall to such searches. A search of the 1910 census for natives of Ireland living in Hancock County, Illinois, who immigrated in the 1860s (performed by searching for an immigration year of 1865 plus or minus five years) does not locate Samuel Neill even though he is enumerated in the 1910 Hancock County census. The reason is simple: the year of immigration on Samuel's entry is left blank.
Using the Ancestry search page to locate immigrants from the same country as your ancestor who came over around the same time as your forebear is an excellent way to generate additional research leads. However, one must do it with the following things in mind:
- The year of immigration could be incorrect in the census entry, either for your ancestor or for the others who might have immigrated with him.
- The year of immigration could be omitted completely for some immigrants.
- Places of birth could be completely incorrect or vary slightly from what you think is correct, Prussia or Hanover for Germany, etc.
Searches of databases are frequently made under the assumption that our ancestors gave the correct answers, that those answers were written legibly and that the reading was transcribed correctly. This assumption only causes a problem when the researcher fails to acknowledge it.
Before madly entering search terms, think about what you are trying to locate and the best way to go about finding it. Then keep a record of the different ways in which you have searched so that searches are not repeated and new searches can be developed if necessary. In the case of Samuel Neill, the best search was simply to look for other Irish natives born in the same decade who were living in the same county. This did not result in an unmanageable number of hits for any census year. Samuel's residence near the county line also warranted performing a search in the neighboring county. Geography must always be kept in mind.
A Connection
Similar searches were conducted in the 1870 and 1880 census in the county where Samuel lived. The number of entries in both cases was small enough that all the names could be manually scanned. Particular attention was paid to any names in townships that neighbored the township where Samuel lived from ca. 1868 until 1912. There were a handful of other Irish immigrants living relatively close to Samuel. However, the entry for one Irish native stood out: William Brice.
The connection was easily made. Samuel's brother's wife was Anne Brice. William Brice and family lived in the township due east of the Neills, most likely within five or six miles. Of course, it might easily have been coincidence that a William and Anne Brice were somewhat near neighbors of someone with whom they shared a last name and a country of birth. One could not immediately conclude they were related to Joseph's wife Anne Brice Neill. However, the entry was worth following in other census years.
Back to the Census
Searches easily located William and Anne Brice in the following census records:
- 1860 Ursa Township, Adams County, Illinois
- 1870 Chili Township, Hancock County, Illinois
- 1880 XXX, Butler County, Kansas
- 1900 XXX, Caldwell County, Missouri
How did I know it was them? I performed Soundex-based searches of the Ancestry census database for a William Brice, born in Ireland within five years of 1838. These were the only entries that were relatively consistent with the family structure of William Brice in 1870 when he was a neighbor to the Neill families. Further research on William Brice needs to be conducted in order to determine if he is related to Anne Brice Neill. If this William is related to Anne Brice Neill, it looks like he was what brought the Neills to west-central Illinois. (Ursa Township, Adams County, Illinois, is relatively close to West Point, where the Neills settled.) Unfortunately at this juncture, direct connections to Anne Murphy Neill have not been discovered.
Things Worth Remembering:
- Census records can provide a tentative outline of a family that should be documented with additional records.
- Searches of census records without using names, focusing on places of birth, ages, etc., may result in the location of unknown extended family members.
- Tracking experimental search techniques is important so that the same searches are not conducted repeatedly.
In an upcoming article, we'll see how the migration trail and extended family discovered thus far are only the beginning.

I have always wanted to go to India. I am fascinated by its culture, its food, its movies, and even its pop music...and did I mention its food? Indian food was, for me, love at first bite. It just kinda knocked my socks of in terms of flavor. Cumin, cardamom, cayenne, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, pepper, fennel seed...they make me sigh with pleasure and transport me to far-off lands! I like dishes that make their presence felt, that have a taste and aroma that will not be ignored...exotic and strong and full of passion. This is Indian food for me.
There are a number of good Indian restaurants in Manila but one of my favorites is a little place in Legaspi Village called Swagat. I discovered it when I was still working in that area and have returned many times since. They have an extensive menu which includes vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, a good variety of Indian breads, and some great desserts. You've got Biryanis and Pullows (rice dishes), Paneers (dishes made with Paneer, a homemade Indian cheese, kinda like cottage cheese), Dals (lentil dishes), Raitas (yogurt dip-like sidings), Pakoras, Samosas...the list goes on and on. You will see your old favorites (Roghan josh, goat meat cooked with coriander leaves, tomatoes and flavored spices, is mine) as well as things you haven't yet heard of and are yet to be discovered.
During this visit we had (pictured above, clockwise from top left) Paneer Korma, Roti, Sangam Biryani, and Mutter Palak. Paneer Korma is pretty much a standard when I go. It's paneer cooked with onions, tomatoes and different spices. It has just the right amount of creamy-ness, the acid in the tomato acting as a good counter and adding to the taste, and is very flavorful but not too spicy (so good for people who don't eat spicy, although I am not one of those people). Perfect for dipping our Roti, their whole wheat flat bread. If you aren't into spicy food a Korma (they have Chicken Korma too) would be a good bet as it is one of the mildest spice mixes/sauces. It uses grated coconut, coconut milk, or yogurt which is what brings down the spice factor and gives it its creamy-ness. You can also order a raita to counter the spicier dishes. I usually get the Cucumber Raita...cool and refreshing.
The Sangam Biryani and the Mutter Palak were both firsts for me this time. I usually order a pullow (the Kashimiri Pullow is my favorite -- it has currants and nuts and spices) and order my meat dish separately (usually the Roghan Josh), as the biryanis already have the meat mixed in (unless you order a vegetable biryani). But hey, variety is the spice of life, right? Anyhoo, the Sangam Biryani was a very pleasant surprise, rich and tasty and moist, as I find a lot of biryanis I've had before to be a little dry. It has both chicken and lamb in it, and both I found very tender and well blended with the spicy flavors of the rice. The Mutter Palak was the first dish among the vegetarian specialties that I tried (as I don't often wander into the vegatarian portion of menus). It turned out to be a real winner! Peas and spinach cooked with a blend of herbs and spices with gave the dish a good strong character that enhanced rather than overpowered the flavor of the vegetables. I vow to try more of the vegetarian stuff soon.
To complement the spicy nature of the food we had some Sweet Lassi, which is a sweet yogurt and milk drink. I have always liked lassi and try to have it every time I'm at an Indian restaurant. It also acts as an excellent "fire extinguisher" to cool your toungue after an extra spicy spoonful of food.
I never leave Swagat without having some Gulab Jamun for dessert, going as far as to pre-order it before ordering any of our mains. It's described in the menu as a "cheese ball", but it's more like a sponge-y ball of dense cake, with a hint of cheese, soaked in syrup. It is heavenly. And has been a favorite Indian sweet of mine since childhood, when a nice lady in my neighborhood use to make and sell it. To top everything off, a cup of hot Masala Chai, tea brewed with milk and spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, pepper, and ginger. It's my favorite tea...hot and spicy, milky but strong.
Sated, we lean back in our chairs as our waitress brings us our hand written bill. No service charge and a good deal for all we had consumed.
Their food is what I feel is good, authentic, and absolutely delicious Indian cooking. It's run by Mrs. Komal Khanchandani, who moved here from India with her family eight years ago. She cooks all the meals herself. It's a simple place, with none of the trappings of higher-end Indian restaurants, but what it lacks in gold tureens and belly dancers it makes up for in great home cooked Indian food and a TV that plays Bollywood movies all day long (this is a definite bonus in my book!).

As a documentary filmmaker, naturally I am interested in telling a good story. My film subjects are often people who somehow repurpose culture or history to address problems they face. So my curiosity was piqued when I learned that several verydifferent communities were using a Native American tradition the peacemakingcircle to resolve conflicts and achieve justice.
The peacemaking circle is an ancient indigenous tradition that brings people together to deal with community problems. Participants sit in a circle with no table between them, and often place sacred objects in the center. The circle is opened with a ceremony such as a prayer, reading, or the burning of sage, which marks the time and space of the Circle as special. In accordance with Native American tradition, participants pass a talking piece an eagle feather, special stone, or any object of significance to the group and may only speak when holding it. This means that everyone has an equal chance to speak their mind withoutbeing interrupted, and that others are encouraged truly to listen to what theyhave to say. (Sometimes it seems like deep listening is becoming a lost art inthis multi-tasking age.
The talking pieceslows down the conversation and gives space for people safely to express theiremotions. As Kay Pranis describes in The Little Book of Circle Processes: A New/Old Approach to Peacemaking, Because only one person can speak at a time and the talking piece moves in order around the Circle, two people cannot go back and forth at each other when they disagree or are angry.The talking piece spreads the responsibility around the Circle for respondingto and managing the difficult feelings.
Last fall I attended a four-day circle training at Roca, Inc., a national leader in circle practice. The facilitator explained that typical Western conflict resolution practice goes something like this: 1) Identify the problem 2) Find a solution 3) Try to implement the solution. Theimmediate crisis may be resolved, but the deeper issues that caused the problemremain untouched. In the peacemaking circle process, most of the time andenergy is devoted to building relationships and trust before the problem is even put into words. And it turns out thatstorytelling is a key part of this process.
In thefirst few rounds of a peacemaking circle, participants together defineguidelines for how they want to behave in circle. They share stories aboutthemselves, stories of joy, pain, and struggle, to explain why they feel thesevalues are important. Storytellingengages us emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, so we can absorb lessonsmore deeply than we might if they were passed down as advice from an elder orprofessional.
As theycome to understand each others struggles, people often realize that they agreemore than they disagree. When it comestime to talk about the actual conflict at hand, which is often in the last fewrounds of a circle, the issue may seem to have shrunk in proportion. In circle,participants find it easier to right the wrongs that have been done and torestore balance in the community, rather than seek revenge or punishment.
Peacemakingcircles can be convened just once or dozens of times around a single issue.They are being used in rural and urban settings and for issues as wide-rangingas gang violence, school fighting, intimate abuse, and workplace conficts.
Interestinglyenough, my filmmaking process has been mirroring the circle process. I havealways liked to form good relationships with my subjects before I beginshooting, but this film has been taking unusually long to develop. At first Iwas frustrated that I still didnt have a subject nailed down after observingseveral groups across the country (including a great middle school program runby Restorative Justice forOakland Youth; Father David Kellys violencehealing programs in Chicago; and Rocas youth work in Chelsea, Revere, and East Boston). But then it dawned on me that since building trust and definingshared values is so important to the circle process, there was no way I couldexpect to jump in and start filming right away as an outsider. I will have tobe an integral part of the circle from the beginning.
I have now steppedback and am working on developing relationships and building the necessarytrust to be part of an authentic peacemaking circle process from beginning toend. Im listening to a lot of stories and trying to share my own. My advisorCarolyn Boyes-Watson of the Centerfor Restorative Justice at Suffolk University reminds me of the wisdom thatGood things fear no time.

You spent a few years researching what type of wellness center to build, then invested lots of dollars to create a center you can proudly call your own. You've nurtured an environment that is appealing, accessible and not intimidating to anyone — including seniors. Best of all, you've created a niche to differentiate your business from your competitors.
In this facility, not only have you purchased the best age-friendly equipment on the market, but you've also recruited staff with expertise in serving older adults. The cutting-edge programs offered in your center serve all levels of function, and you've built a wellness culture embracing all six dimensions of wellness (spiritual, physical, social, intellectual, vocational and emotional). Your marketing campaign reflects your mission and communicates a message designed to attract and inspire potential older members while reinforcing the purchase your current members have made. You've even sent your sales team and support staff to age-sensitivity training.
Despite doing all the right things, though, your center is losing members. To add insult to injury, participation levels have slowly declined. So what's gone wrong?
You've probably second-guessed every decision you've made since the start and wondered if the numbers are declining because of your competitor, your location or your staff. Although there's no shortage of questions you might ask, the most important ones at this stage are, "What can I do now?" and, "What is my center missing?" The answer, in a word, is engagement.
We've all experienced the feeling of being engaged in something that's captured our attention. The book we couldn't put down. The movie we didn't want to miss a moment of, despite needing to go to the rest room. Fans of the television show "24" know these feelings well, along with the anticipation of waiting each week to see what will happen to Jack Bauer.
Interestingly enough, according to many experts, each of these markets (books, movies and television) struggles to keep its audience today, as new technologies and channels of distribution have created competition that is changing the industry. Yet when a product engages the audience, it can produce hundreds of millions of dollars. Look no further than the success of the Harry Potter books and the "Lord of the Rings" films for proof of this.
It doesn't matter if you get everything else right if you aren't able to engage your members. Without engagement, your facility will remain a "center" and not a place these individuals have to visit, a place they anticipate going to. The result will be a continued erosion of your client base and participation levels.
So how do you get your members engaged in what your center has to offer? Make your offerings so compelling they will want to get involved. Encourage your staff to find out what really interests these adults, then create a program with these elements built in. Make each experience in your facility unique and engaging.
Just like a good teacher who engages students by involving them in the learning experience, your staff can involve your members in their experiences at your center. Invite these older adults to an orientation session where they create outlines of their ideal programs. (Think about college students picking the classes they want to attend.) By creating experiences that engage your clients, you will likely find that your retention and participation levels increase as people tend to support programs and organizations with which they feel engaged.

October 22, 2007 - When Saints Row released for the Xbox 360, it was a pleasant surprise, especially considering the lack of quality titles for the Xbox 360 at the time. While most gamers expected little more than a derivative GTA clone, Saints Row went on to surprise everyone with fun gameplay that made it one of the must have titles of the time. While it did borrow heavily from GTA, it did bring enough new things to stand on its own two feet, most notably online multiplayer, next-gen visuals, and a free targeting system. Now, Volition announces the long awaited return to Stilwater with Saints Row 2, which will improve upon the game that Xbox 360 owners grew to love.
Saints Row 2 places the player back in the gang infested town of Stilwater to conquer the town once again. The city of Stilwater has gone through some changes since the events of Saints Row though, expanding in ways that will make the familiar streets fresh to returning gamers. The developers have stated that they are compressing years of city growth into the short amount of time between Saints Row and its sequel. In addition to the coat of polish and growth that Stilwater receives, Saints Row 2 also opens up new areas of the game by introducing boats and bridges, which will allow the player access to a prison island. Also, players will finally be able to sightsee from the sky, with the addition of planes and helicopters that can be piloted.
The story in Saints Row 2 picks up from the close of the last, so those that finished Saints Row have an idea why their player might need the reconstructive surgery that makes another character customization screen necessary. However, this time around, the customization extends to gender as well, allowing the player to choose whether their gangbanger is a male or a female. Also, because of the events at the close of the original, the tone that Saints Row 2 takes will be decidedly darker than that of Saints Row, with a focus on revenge that doesn't completely undermine the game's comedic tone.
Your gang member has learned a few new tricks since the previous game beyond the highly requested ability to fly in helicopters and airplanes. The next natural evolution and one thing that was desired in Saints Row was the ability to drive motorcycles, and this will be actualized in Saints Row 2. Saints Row also had a unique firing system which worked sort of like a first person shooter, with an aiming reticule onscreen at all times, and this system returns for the sequel, adding in the ability to grab a foe and use them as cover, forcing your enemies to stop firing if they want their friend back intact. The player now has the vaunted (and nearly standard) ability to dual wield weapons now too, boosting their firepower considerably. In addition to dual wielding, some new weapons make an appearance as well, including explosive satchel charges and a laser guided rocket launcher, all of which you'll need against the smarter police and gang A.I.
One thing that Saints Row unquestionably brought to the sandbox gang gaming formula was the inclusion of online multiplayer. This feature makes a return, but with a complete revamp. Instead of simply having deathmatch games, the developers promise that elements from the single player games will be part of the online game. While they have yet to elaborate on what this means exactly, it seems as if some of the activities in the game will be accessible with an online gang in an online version of Stilwater. Saints Row 2 also has online co-op, so a friend can drop in on your game and help you take over the town at any given moment. This includes the missions that require a driver and a gunner, such as the drug running missions from the original, so you no longer have to rely on the A.I. to get you home intact.
While Saints Row beat Grand Theft Auto IV to the market and led the way for next gen sandbox gangbanging, this time it will be following Rockstar's magnum opus. The first Saints Row was undeniable fun, but it also released when the Xbox 360 had a dearth of good titles. Will the sequel fare as well as the original with so many titles to compete with, especially its highly anticipated rival GTA IV? Only time will tell, but even if Saints Row 2 just offers gamers more of the same, the original was so much fun, there would probably still be a bunch of gamers eagerly anticipating the sequel. We'll see when Saints Row 2 finds its way to the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 sometime during 2008.

Advocates of cross-border freight train service are cautiously applauding moves by groups of U.S. and Mexican investors to rebuild two key rail links that connect Tijuana and Imperial County.
The projects are being formed separately, and it could be several years before any trains ferry product parts and finished goods from Tijuana's maquiladora industry into the United States. But proponents said that taken together, the efforts could restore a significant link to the main U.S. rail system.
The rail service would allow exporters from Mexico to avoid northbound truck delays at the congested Otay Mesa commercial crossing, as well as the need to switch drivers at the international border.
Preliminary estimates show that the two companies embarking on the rehabilitation plans could spend upward of $120 million.
The current situation "is very inefficient, it's expensive, it just takes away from the competitiveness of the region," said Joe Da Rosa, president of Toyota Manufacturing de Baja California, which assembles Tacoma pickups at a plant outside Tecate and then sends them by truck to the United States. The rail lines would also be valuable for importing components from the U.S. into Tijuana for the maquiladoras or other businesses, he said.
Built in 1919 by sugar magnate John Spreckels, the track created a rail linkage from San Diego to the east, dipping into Mexico before re-entering the United States at Campo and finally reaching Plaster City in Imperial County. Fires, floods and collapsed bridges and tunnels led to closure of the 70-mile stretch between Campo and Plaster City, known as the Desert Line, in recent decades.
The last operator, Lakeside-based Carrizo Gorge Railway, was able to re-establish limited service in 2004. Those operations stopped in 2008 after the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System, which owns the Desert Line, raised concerns about its safety and demanded repairs that Carrizo Gorge could not afford.
While economic difficulties, lawsuits by past investors and legal battles among Carrizo's shareholders have stalled efforts to resume service on the Desert Line, groups on both sides of the border continue to see the rail link as offering much promise for the greater region.
"It is one of the emblematic projects that we're promoting," said David Moreno, director of the Tijuana Economic Development Council. "We are certain that if we start rebuilding the line, companies would increase their investments."
Christina Luhn, director of the Mega-Region Initiative for the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp., said she is "guardedly optimistic" about the latest attempts to reopen the rail lines. "It's not a done deal, but it's the best news I've heard since I learned about the rail issues," she added.
In Tijuana this month, directors of Baja California Railroad Inc. announced a plan to invest $20 million in rebuilding a section of the 44.4-mile line between Tijuana and Tecate.
Dimas Campos, owner of a group of gas stations in Tijuana and managing director of Baja California Railroad, said the sum would be used for "profound rehabilitation" of a 12.5-mile stretch of tracks between San Ysidro and El Florido in eastern Tijuana. The project is scheduled to start in May.
"We know the business is there, we've already sat down with a lot of companies. They are committed to coming on board and moving (products) by rail, but obviously they're going to wait until the track is rehabbed completely," said Alejandro de la Torre, a partner in the Mexican project.
The company was granted a 30-year contract to operate the line by the Baja California agency Admicarga. Jorge Monraz, director of Admicarga, said the line is owned by Mexico's federal government and that the agreement was approved by the federal Communications and Transportation Secretariat. He said the contract, which was not publicly available, obligates Baja California Railroad to invest the $20 million for repairs and upgrades during the first five years.
No matter what happens in Baja California, cross-border service into California can't be re-established until the Desert Line can also be opened.
In December, MTS and Pacific Imperial Railroad Inc. signed a 50-year-lease — with an option to renew for 49 more years — for the company to rehabilitate that track.
"The deal has very tight strings associated with it," said Paul Jablonski, chief executive of MTS. "It wasn't just, 'We'll see you in 100 years.' We have very specific milestones associated with this, and if they don't achieve them, we'll take it back."
Donald Stoecklein, a San Diego attorney who is the president and legal representative for Pacific Imperial Railroad, outlined the proposal during a meeting with the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce's Mexico Business Center this month.
"The primary goal is to move product out of the maquiladora region," Stoecklein said.
His company is working with investment bankers to secure financing and has hired a contractor to calculate the expense of fixing the line, he said. "We have 57 bridges and tunnels that we have to fix," Stoecklein said. "We needed 99 years so that our investors could get a return."
Charles McHaffie, former CEO of Carrizo Gorge Railway, is a main player in the new Desert Line venture. This has not sat well with some of his former associates who continue to battle him in court and oppose the new lease.
Jablonski defended the contract's "very strict performance guidelines," which require the trains to achieve a "minimal level of service" within the next 14 months and full service — four to five trains daily in each direction — within five years.
McHaffie "seems to be a fair way along in the process of securing the necessary investment to actually carry this out," Jablonski said.
Informal estimates put the cost of repairs at close to $100 million, according to MTS. Toyota's Da Rosa, whose company would be an important client of any future railway service in that area, called the agreement "a big step."
"Previously, it wasn't clear who really had control of the line, and now it's clear. We have a group on the U.S. side that now has clear responsibility," he added. "I have a group of about 10 large companies in this region that I meet with frequently. They would use the rail line the moment it becomes operational."

Amir Heshmatpour Joins Price Center Board of Advisors
Founder and managing director of AFH Holding & Advisory LLC
LOS ANGELES -- Greg Craig ('89), chairman of the Harold and Pauline Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at UCLA Anderson School of Management and founder and chief executive officer of Inupiat Energy Marketing LLC, announced that Amir Heshmatpour has been appointed to the Price Center's Board of Advisors.
Heshmatpour is the founder and managing director of AFH Holding & Advisory LLC, a Beverly Hills-based single member family office and advisory firm that partners with emerging growth companies in the U.S. and abroad to help facilitate growth potential through traditional and alternative financing options. The firm currently works with an array of both public and private companies in a variety of sectors throughout the world.
Prior to founding AFH, Heshmatpour was chairman and chief executive officer of Metrophone Telecommunications, Inc, where he spearheaded the firm's growth, leading it through 17 acquisitions and growing the business to more than $100 million in revenue. Metrophone was twice named among the 100 fastest growing companies in the Northwest and by 2003, the company operated in 34 states and was ranked among the top 10 public service providers in the U.S.
Among his other interests, Amir currently serves on the board of the California Council on Economic Education, an organization promoting financial and economic literacy.

Where I've Been
Happy Autumn y'all!
After a full week in Florida at Disney with my son, daughter in law and our two beautiful grand-babies, we arrived home last night. Exhausted. Sunburned. Blistered. Broke. Did I mention exhausted? But... we had a blast with those babies!
I brought my laptop with me with the full intent of working a bit, but either ran out of time or energy or mostly both to be honest by day's end. After hearing from a few readers, I figured I better at least 'splain my absence!
It was my first vacation in 4 years, so I hope you'll forgive me and stay tuned - I'll be back soon with some new recipes.

4 years is a long long time not to have a vacation and the one you took sounded great..welcome back..enjoy your blog and the yummy recipes..ReplyDelete
I thought you must be gone. After taking my young kids to Disney World, I had the same experience. Get to the park early to avoid the lines, lay around the pool in the hot afternoon, then back to the park in the evening to ride and watch the parade. It only takes a few days of that schedule to do you in. Glad you had a good time.ReplyDelete
Welcome Back! Now you can rest from the exhausting vacation. Disney will do that to ya.ReplyDelete

Top Steer 2 - get a cooler rental car than Top Gear did
Looking for more than an anonymous hatchback? Hire cars that make you feel almost as special as New Zealand does? And play your entire music library too?
1 / 3
1 / 6
In case you haven't seen TV show Top Gear's latest New Zealand challenge, the official trailer reveals it wasn't a pretty sight.....for car rental companies that is. Presenter Jeremy Clarkson races an Americas Cup yacht through what he describes as "the prettiest country in the world", but he does spend a bit of time filling out accident forms. And his car for the race isn't the normal Italian stallion or British bulldog supercar you'd expect, but rather a "little blue hatchback" rental car. Come on New Zealand, surely we can do better than this? Now, if they'd have opted for the top of the South Island to do their challenge where RentAClassic is based....
You can't always get what you want....
Ideally the rental car we'd all really, really want probably would be an exotic like a Ferrari, Aston, Lamborghini but hiring one might bring some challenges of its own. Firstly the insurance excess would probably pay the deposit on a small flat in the city you hired it from, you'd likely be deported for the number of speeding tickets you'd rack up before you even made it into thrid gear, and where exactly are you going to put a case of Marlborough's finest Sauvignon Blanc, let alone all that holiday luggage? Plus you'd probably be sleeping in the thing and avoiding parking within five kilometres of any other cars, half terrified of your uberchariot picking up any dings or scratches that don't trouble Mr Clarkson much but would mean bang goes your deposit on that small flat - not exactly relaxing. Back in the real world, the little blue hatchback is starting to make some sense.
Emotional Rescue...
However you're having a holiday, not doing an accountancy exam. Surely an extraordinary country, a country the same Mr Clarkson, who's been around the world a bit, describes as "absolutely stunning, bite-the-back-of-your-hand-to-stop-yourself-from-crying-out-lovely", deserves a cut above hire car? Surely you want something different, stimulating, fun to drive, not the same experience as your weekly commute to work, something that makes you feel special, without breaking the bank? Why not treat yourself to a pristine original 1972 MGB GT sports car, or an effortlessly cool, velvet glove like 1999 Saab 9-3 full four seater convertible for instance?
After all, on holiday, you take care to chose which specific accommodation you want to stay in, which individual restaurant you want to eat in - why let the rental company decide the lottery of which 'group C or similar' rental car you'll get? With RentAClassic you chose the exact car you want, and get it.
And what about some musical accompaniment? You're on your dream touring holiday or road trip, the scenery and feeling of escapism is stirring your soul, you know just the music to make the perfect backing soundtrack but.....what a shame, your CD collection wouldn't fit in the baggage allowance.....or more annoyingly, it did, but the rental car has a tape player......or even more annoyingly, it does have a CD player but it's broken. Assuming the radio does work, it's practically Crowded House or nothing then......(Top Gear joke....actually Bic Runga, The Black Seeds and Minuit do come highly recommended too).
Start me up...
RentAClassic might have older cars but we bring them bang up to date with our Bring Your Own SoundTracks system. It's a clever lead that let's you plug in any digital media player with a standard headphone socket like a SmartPhone or iPod, and play your entire music library be it Sibelious or Stones, (you may have spotted our preference), through our cars stereos - even the original 1970s radio in our MG BGT! How Daddy Cool is that? We even recommend the best tracks to complement the cars, though of course you can choose your own, if you must.
And then there's the choice of alternative 'normal' rental cars, of which the vast majority here will be Toyotas or Nissans or Toyotas or fridges or Toy......sorry I can't always tell the difference. Mr Clarkson didn't seem to know what his "little red hatchback, whatever you are" rental car was either. And whilst most are eminently reliable they're not exactly known for well, their individual character or driving pleasure. So why not drive something different, live a little and choose a sports or convertible rental car instead? New Zealand has a serious amount of sunshine and loads of fantastic scenic, driving roads - this video takes you on a three minute 'hyperdrive' sample round the islands so you can see for yourself - pretty uncrowded eh? RentAClassic is one of a select few small independent specialist businesses hiring out characterful cars all over New Zealand. Yes one way hires are unlikely and you do have to get to Nelson but at most that's one and a half hours flight from any of New Zealands international airports, and an incredibly inviting destination in itself. And if you're concerned about reliability, all our cars are looked after to the standard we'd want for our family, because that's who drives around in them when you're not. Plus a full roadside recovery is included in our hire charge along with unlimited kilometres, for a truly relaxing package. And finally we give you a personal familiarisation session with your car along with documentation to take away, in case you got distracted by the amazing scenery instead.
Yes you can rent cheaper, newer and dare I say, more convieniently located cars than ours, even though we're surprisingly affordable. But given you're likely to spend as much time on holiday in your rental car as in your accommodation, why shouldn't it make you feel it's just as much a treat and as special as the rest of your glorious New Zealand getaway? It did for these happy customers:
"A wonderful weekend in a fantastic car.....would highly recommend" MH, Wellington
"That's one dream ticked off the bucket list! A car that needs to, (and deserves to), be driven...." CA, Nelson
So really, Top Gear could have done better with their car of choice - with RentAClassic, you can. And yes our cars do even have room for several cases of wine, sorry, luggage as well.....

An extraordinarily beautiful country merits a very special hire car. Experience the stunning scenery and uncrowded roads from the pristine front seats of our gorgeous MG sports or Saab, Alfa, Mercedes and Jaguar convertibles. Why settle for ordinary?

Integrate Taxonomies, Ontologies, Thesauri
Toward more effective means of data discovery, particularly as more and more datasets are published and registered in data.gov, one thing that might provide value, particularly to, for example, the science community, might be integration and use of existing taxonomies, ontologies and thesauri as developed by various agencies. Models for integration exist, such as CUAHSI in the water community, or GBIF for biodiversity. ...more »

Tri-Art's Finest Quality Artist Acrylics are premium quality artist paints designed to satisfy the most discerning artists. Their unique consistency allows for bold impasto effects that are normally associated only with oil colors.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
Lamp black is a very opaque, heavily staining black pigment that does not have much covering or tinting power. It is typically the most opaque black in watercolor form. Though a very pure black, it tends to muddy slightly in mixtures. Natural sources may be brownish or bluish in tone because of impurities. When used in oil paints, it is one of the slowest drying pigments, and should not be used in underpainting or applied in layers underneath other colors.
Lamp Black is very lightfast and absolutely permanent. It is used in all techniques in permanent painting.
Carbon itself is not considered hazardous, however other combustion products that are hazardous are often present as impurities when Lamp Black is produced from natural materials. For this reason, commercial preparations of the pigment should be considered slightly toxic. Avoid skin contact and inhalation. Where such impurities are present, Lamp Black is a possible human carcinogen.
Lamp Black is a carbon based black traditionally produced by collecting soot (known as lampblack) from oil lamps. It has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times. It is the black found in Egyptian murals and tomb decorations and was the most popular black for fresco painting until the development of Mars Black.
Carbon Black, Channel Black, Furnace Black, Oil Black, Vegetable Black. Flame Black is an impure version of Lamp Black. An alternate spelling is Lampblack, in which the first syllable is stressed and the two words are elided to form a closed compound.
beta copper phthalocyanine
Phthalo Blue PB15:3 is a structural variant of Phthalo Blue PB15 that produces more greenish tones.
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.
Phthalo Blue Green Shade, Winsor Blue Green Shade
carbazole dioxazine
Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark valued when it is used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in red shade, blue shade, and so forth.
Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.
Dioxazine Purple, Chromothal Violet, Mauve, Carbazole Violet.

MENOMONIE (September 15, 2012) - The UW-Stout football team was unable to come up with points when they needed them in losing, 37-10, to 13th-ranked North Central College Saturday at Don & Nona Williams Stadium.
Trailing only 21-10 in the third quarter, the Blue Devils came up with three turnovers, all on North Central's side of the 50-yard line. Lineman Travis Mueller (Sr, Greenleaf) recovered a pair of fumbles and defensive back Jeremy Troupe-Masi (Sr, Fremont, Cal.) had an interception that gave the Blue Devils a chance to take the lead.
The offense was unable to do anything with these opportunities though, with the drives ending in an interception, a missed field goal, and a fumble.
North Central (2-1) showed why they are ranked 13th by controlling both lines of scrimmage, limiting the Blue Devils offense to only nine yards on the ground while gaining 164 rushing yards on offense.
Trailing for most of the game, Stout was forced to go to the pass early. Quarterback Michael Blizel (Sr, Sturgeon Bay) threw the ball 42 times, completing 18 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown.
North Central got on the board quickly, taking their first drive right down the field and scoring on a 48 yard touchdown pass to Jeff Stolzenburg.
Trevor Morning (Jr, Bloomer) took the ensuing kick-off back 54 yards, setting the Blue Devils(1-1) up with good field position and a chance to even the score.
Stout's drive stalled at the nine yard line and Ricky Marteney (Jr, Greenfield) kicked a 26 yard field goal to put the Blue Devils on the board.
That would be as close as Stout would get, as North Central scored again quickly with another 48 yard touchdown pass to Stolzenburg.
The Blue Devils looked to gain some momentum back midway through the second quarter as Blizel led the team 54 yards for a touchdown, capping off the drive with a 16 yard touchdown pass over the middle to tight end Josh Peterson (Sr, Cedar Grove).
Peterson finished with 39 yards on four receptions, which was tied for the team lead with running back Eric Brown (Sr, St. Paul) who led the team with 43 yards through the air.
The Blue Devils couldn't come up with an answer for North Central's rushing attack, however, as the Cardinals were able to continually pound the ball into the defense and pick up yards.
After a sloppy third quarter that saw the teams turn the ball over a combined five times, North Central put the game away with field goals of 41, 53, and 55 yards off the leg of kicker Nick Dace as well as a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Running back Paul Bernier (Sr, Lakeville, Minn.) led the Blue Devils with 42 rushing yards on seven carries. Stout finished with nine total rushing yards, but a punt snapped over the head of the Stout punter for a 34 yard loss. Blizel was also sacked three times for a total loss of 16 yards.
Damian Guggenbuehl (Jr, La Crosse) led Stout with 11 tackles, seven solo. David Lindell (Jr, New Richland, Minn.) pitched in nine tackles, four solo and Tyler Naatz (So, Menomonie) had eight tackles, three solo for the Blue Devils.
Stout will be at UW-River Falls, Saturday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. in a non-conference tilt with the Falcons. This will be the 98th meeting of the long time foes.
Blue Devils can't take advantage of NCC mistakes, fall 37-10

Animal Guidelines for Tenants and Landlords
Most cities have ordinances limiting the number and types of animals allowed in a residence. Landlords who want to accommodate tenants with pets can avoid misunderstandings by clearly establishing the rules that apply to pets and pet guardians in their properties.
The number one cause of misunderstandings between tenants and landlords over pets is the lack of a written agreement. To avoid this, landlords should:
- Provide a written agreement for tenants with clearly defined rules including:
- Whether pets must be kept inside the rental unit
- Whether dogs must be kept on leash in the common areas inside or outside of a building
- The number and types of pets allowed
- Requiring dog waste to be picked up and disposed of in a sanitary manner and cat litter to be discarded in sealed bags
- The amount of any pet-related security deposit
- Limit pets to standard domestic animals suited for urban living, such as dogs, cats, rodents, fish and birds
- Require the names of veterinarians and substitute guardians in the event of an emergency.
Tips for Tenants
- Provide a pet resume emphasizing traits that make the pet a "good tenant"
- Include crate and/or obedience training, compliance with local licensing laws and references from former landlords
- Present clear information on where the animal will be housed during the day or when alone and if professional dog walking or day care services will be used
- Commit to indoor-only cats to avoid conflicts with neighbors and keep animals safe
- Submit proof that dogs and cats have been spayed/neutered, which leads to healthier and better behaved pets
- Pledge to keep pets healthy, free of fleas, groomed and clean
- Offer signs of good faith such as supporting the San Francisco SPCA or participating in pet-related volunteer activities
