AAA: Texans make spring break plans
Sheridan Lewis, 21, of Tyler, said she will spend three days of her spring break in a cabin near Austin with family and friends.
The Tyler Junior College nursing student said she will spend the rest of her week job shadowing different types of nursing professions at the three hospitals and working on school work. In between that, she said she will be lining out exercise plans for her track and cross country athletes at Grace Community School.
But as soon as Friday hits and her duties are done, she said the books will disappear and the good times will roll.
"Even though I'm right beside my parents at home, I never see them because my nose is in the books, or I'm coaching ..." Ms. Lewis said. "I'm waking up at 4:30 a.m. almost every morning to get ready and study for nursing."
According to AAA Texas, despite the pressure of high gas prices, a majority of Texans made plans to travel on spring break.
According to its fourth annual spring break poll, 55 percent said they are planning at least one trip in March or April, which is 7 percent higher than in 2011, according to a news release from AAA.
Forty-four percent said they intended to take two or more trips, and 21 percent responded with intentions of taking three or more trips.
Sharon Howell, owner of Travel Masters in Tyler, said she booked more trips this year than last. She said last year was a record-breaking year, and so far this year, monthly totals have beaten 2012.
"We have sent people everywhere -- all over the map -- Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Europe, Disney," Ms. Howell said. "It has really been something."
She said she had noticed many families opting for all-inclusive resorts where the costs are upfront and the possible pressure from unseen expenses is small.
Ms. Howell said she believes families are opting to spend their money creating memories, and many have opted for ritzy hotels and vacations.
"I think people are so incredibly saturated with nothing but bad news around them and their frustration level," she said. "They come in here and express to us, 'We've had enough bad news. I earned my money and I'm going to spend my money before the government takes it.'"
According to the AAA Texas survey, 62 percent responded that they made at least one concession in their travel budget because of the cost of fuel, compared 51 percent in 2011, the release states.
Ms. Lewis said she is one of them. She said the cost reserving a cabin during the peak break time plus the cost of gasoline cut their travel plans down to three days. But she is still looking forward to quality family time.
Gas prices have gone down for two consecutive weeks, providing a bright light for those who intend to drive to their destinations, according to a news release from AAA Texas.
On average across Texas, a gallon of fuel costs $3.58, five cents less than a week ago and 15 cents less than the national average, the release states. On average, Texans are paying $50 to fill up a 14-gallon tank.
Drivers in Dallas are paying the most on average at $3.62, while drivers in El Paso are paying the least at $3.48, the release states.
Some families are opting to stay close to home. Casey Heidman, park operations trainee at Tyler State Park, said all of its 180 camping sites have been reserved for about a month. As of Thursday afternoon, the camp was booked solid until March 17. However, the park will still be open to visitors during the day.

If I had some ham, I could have ham and eggs, if I had some eggs.
Yes, they owe us money. But I don't think we'll see it, as DH told the guy, "Okay, we'll call it even" when he got the last bit of money from them. I know. I wanted to intervene but he wanted to handle it his own way. I feel that they are taking advantage of DH and I don't like it.
My question is not if it's etiquettely correct for them to text me to have my DH call them. My question is how to ask them not to do so because it makes me VERY uncomfortable.Sigh . . .
When I take my chat feature offline, am I then not showing up for chat on other people's facebook pages? That's the only way I could figure that I might disable the feature. And I looked all over the place.

Everyone seems to "Love To Cook". Anyone hate cooking like I do?! I find it a chore that I never am in the mood to do. I really dislike having to come up with something to make for dinner every night. (if I lived alone I would never go near the Meat Section in the supermarket ever again, honestly!!!) It's torture for me and I put it off as long as possible. Anyone else feel like I do or am I alone on this one? | |||
It's not that I hate to cook, it's that I hate to Have to cook. If I could just do it when and what I wanted it would nto be a problem. WaveRider - There are parts of keeping house that I hate and have traded some duties with DH. Could your husband or kids take on some of the kitchen duties? Also, is it lack of training or kitchen skills? I'm self taught in the kitchen but have a wonderful collection of cookbooks and I loved the early cooking shows. It might also help, and this is my problem, of planning in advance. Instead of trying to come up with a meal plan at 5:30 is no fun. Plan it out with the family in advance. You can do planned overs. Cook a bigger meal or pot of soup or stew on Sunday and have leftovers one night, brown up a bunch of hamburger and divide it up for several meals - chili, spaghetti, sloppy joes. Bag up the cooked meat and freeze it ready to go. Let the kids help with some of the more tedious work - if they are old enough - shredding lettuce and chopping tomatoes for taco night for example. | ||||
I like to cook. It's hard when you get no input on the menu for the week: "I'm making my grocery list. What sounds good to you this week?" The reply, "Make sure you buy me some mixed nuts." So, I cook for me and if husband wants to eat what I've cooked - great! If he doesn't want to eat what I've cooked, he goes to town - great! Sherry Does this hat make my butt look big? www.keepyouinstitches.blogspot.com http://s193.photobucket.com/al...9/keepyouinstitches/ www.friendsofthedaingerfieldpu...library.blogspot.com | ||||
Ladies: I feel your pain. I love to cook and try different dishes, BUT, BUT, my DH is border diabetic and so what I was hoping to do when we retired has gone by the wayside. I have a Weight watchers book "Dining for Two" which is good, but I ask DH what do you want for dinner and he says " I don't care" OK I say tell me chicken, fish, pork, etc. I say tell me and I will come up with something. I guess I am lucky he is ready to try anything, but sometime I wish he would have more input and maybe help more. Oh well life goes on. I guess he is spoiled, and from the old school where women do it. I will definately be watching this chat for idea. Have a great week ladies. From Ontario Canada | ||||
Yes, it the "having to cook" that is the problem. And coming up with something every day. The actual cooking is easy. www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | ||||
My mother hates to cook and always has. She made dinner almost every night for all the years of my youth, but she rarely cooks now. My father actually likes to cook, so he has taken over the dinner meal preparation. Of course, she still has to clean the kitchen which is quite a chore when my father cooks, but she says she would rather clean up his mess than try to think of something to make every night. As for me, I don't visit the meat counter. I'll cook boneless, skinless chicken breasts or fish. If anyone wants red meat, they can go to a restaurant. | ||||
Really didn't like that pressure-filled moment of "what for dinner?" and have done a total 180 since those days! Not working now (at least outside of the house - believe me, working inside the house is ten times more work) but I digress... I love cooking and it helps that my dh always says "Thank You - that was great" even when we just had left-overs! But, it is true. Since it's only the two of us, I usually make a "from scratch" main entree that will serve 2 to 3 nights, vary it with what I call "one-nighters" and fill in the rest of the week with whatever is on sale... works for us! Edited to add: As far as asking for suggestions? Bad idea and usually not very productive - just know what ingredients you have available - agree that planning ahead is key here and it helps to have both a freezer and a microwave - to pull it all together!This message has been edited.

Wife: What would you like for dinner? DH: Food Wife: Ok how would you like it fixed? DH: cooked Most of us go through this almost every day and they wonder why we don't like to cook. Some days I will give him a choice but the rest of the time he gets what I fix. Handie Ann | ||||
i too HATE to cook. i never know what to make. DH will never offer suggestions;he will eat whatever is put infront of him. (with the exception of leftovers) it seems like i make the same things day after day. i often look on this board for meal suggestions but still HATE to cook. | ||||
I agree 100% about not asking for suggestions. I will ask DH what he wants twice a year - his birthday and Valentines Day. This year because of his schedule I did ask on our anniversary, but ended up not cooking because of animal catastrophies all week. It did become a joke with us when DH would ask what's for dinner - almost always the same answer - chicken. He was home for a couple of months this year and we were both working from home and he would ask at about 5 pm every afternoon that question. Unfortunately during the week my normal dinner is a frozen entree, some soup, leftovers or a salad and that question got old after about the 3rd day. | ||||
I also dislike cooking on a day to day basis, but love when planning to have someone over for a meal. When I was working, I always kept about 5 one pound bags of browned ground beef in freezer for a quick casserole. And like others mention, don't ask because usually DH or kids tell you they don't know or are fixated on just one thing. Crock pots are also great: add ingredients the night before, take out of frig before work, plug in and there's a nice meal waiting when you get home. Actually, there are many things suggested to you that will work. | ||||
Since I do enjoy cooking, my problem is hating to clean up after myself and unload the dishwasher. When we were first married I filled some index cards with entree ideas by the cut of meat used. For example: Round Steak = beef stroganoff, French Dip sandwiches, Oriental beef & broccoli, Perdanales Chili, Steak au Naturalle, Swiss Steak, etc. I had cards for all different types of meat, poultry, fish & seafood, even bacon, dried beef, corned beef, etc. As I came across more entrees, added the title to the corresponding card. This certainly gave me plenty of ideas when I was stumped for planning my grocery shopping list and menu ideas. When the kids were school age, I'd ask everyone at the dinner table for some suggestions on what they were hungry for later on in the week and tried to fulfill those requests. The greatest summer of my life after I retired was when our kids were teens, DS1 & DS2 working heavy construction jobs and home for dinner at 5:30 pm every night. They were hungry and so tired that they came home and ate and were in bed by 8PM. I never had to deal with "Mom, I'm not going to be here for dinner tonight cause I'm going out with my friends." Every morning I went to the grocery store to get the groceries and fresh produce for that days meal and their lunch boxes the next day. Spent the rest of my day preparing dinner. It was heavenly. | ||||
Thankfully at my house, DH enjoys cooking and we each have our own specialties and we sorta alternate nights...that works really well. | ||||
I enjoy cookiing... clean up afterwar... not so much. Since I'm cooking for 1, most of my cooking gets picked at and becomes lunches for later. | ||||
Some days I don't mind cooking & other days I just HATE it! Since we have 2 freezers and a good sized pantry I have plenty of choices. I also do lots of things in big batches & freeze for future meals...one of those nights I don't feel like doing it! DH doesn't cook, but he can open cans! I'd just rather not eat some of that stuff! Some nights when I don't feel like cooking DH will offer to go to town & get fast food! That works for me! I too don't like to try to figure out what we are having for dinner. If I ask DH he always tells me to "do something simple". And he won't complain if we have hot dogs or grilled cheeses. "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
I hear ya and I have those moments too, but I much prefer to BAKE! Luckily, DH is always pleased even w/ the simpliest foods and doesn't mind leftovers either. I am truly blessed. I find that making enough for leftovers (there's only two of us now) saves me from coming up w/ a daily menu not to mention the prep each new entree requires. If you and your family don't mind leftovers and/or you have ample freezer space, make a large portion and divide it to eat the next day or to freeze for the future. If freezing, be sure to date the pkgs.. Also, w/ warmer months ahead, think of salads in which you can add seasonal greens and the like along w/ tuna, chicken, turkey to make the salad hearty and balanced. Consider chef salads including cheeses, olives (if desired), fruit, nuts, beans, etc.. to suit your taste and for variety. These are quick, ideal for warm weather, nutritious and can be hearty. | ||||
What you might wnat to try is taking up part of the food before serving and freezing it. My best kitchen investment was a vacuum sealer. I can make a big batch of soup and freeze most of it or if I make a whole package of skinless boneless chicken breasts - grilled, casserole, etc I can freeze it for another night. Instead of a large meatloaf - divide into 2 and freeze one before cooking. If you serve it a couple weeks later he won't know it was from previous. | ||||
I have about 15 meals that are family favorites which, if we have leftovers or do take out a couple days, means I can get through three weeks without repeating. I try to make all the variations of chicken on the same day and freeze the ingredients. I do the same with ground beef, adding the appropriate seasoning before freezing. At least one meal a week is seafood, which I don't prepare until just before serving, so that entree is often reserved for the weekends. It makes it much easier to come home from work and thaw the meat while making the starch, which could be pasta, rice or potatoes, depending on the menu. A side salad completes the meal. There are so many ways you can vary ground beef and chicken. I find a lot of recipes at www.http://allrecipes.com/ | ||||
My DH will eat anything I put in front of him (hot dogs is a meal, he's lucky he's getting that!!! LOL). The problem is I just HATE TO COOK. For me, I will eat fast things, a tuna fish sandwich, or whatever else I find in the house fast and easy. Pasta (with just sauce on it). That's a meal to me! When I got married, my DH told me plain pasta is not a meal, it needs some meat in it. It does? So for nearly 20+ years, I had to throw some stuff into the pasta to make it 'a meal'. S@rew that, now I sometimes just make pasta, take it or leave it! (he always eats it, he'll eat anything put in front of him, LOL) I just HATE COOKING!!!! I will always eat other's people's food (only because I never really learned to cook) I will buy ready made food, if I have to, but I won't cook a fancy meal! (don't know how) | ||||
Waverider, Did anyone at home cook meals when you were growing up? Sometimes if you don't have a well developed palate you don't enjoy food and don't appreciate the process of making a meal. I know not everyone has the same likes and dislikes as far as housework - but it is a part of life and we learn to deal with it. When I lived in Virgina we had a wonderful local grocery chain that had excellent prepared foods and meals at a somewhat reasonable price. If you can find a grocer in your area that carries similar items you might want to just purchase several of their entrees and side dishes the just add a salad. | ||||
There's nothing much faster than a grilled chicken breast or fish fillet and a salad or steamed vegetables. I grill a whole package of thin-cut chicken breasts at a time. We have them hot for the first meal and then the leftovers can be used for salads or sandwiches the next day. | ||||
Nearly the only things I do cook are chicken, ground turkey, chicken, ground beef (rarely), chicken, pasta, and chicken, chicken, chicken, chicken.......(as naseum) As a result, I never, ever order chicken in a restaurant!!!! | ||||
I hate to cook for a lot of reason. I have had to cook for over 40 years. I never get to cook for a large crowd like I did when our parents were alive. DGS complains so much about what I cook that it makes it even difficult to think about cooking. I just wish I had a whole week where he did not complain about what I cook. If it were up to him I would make spagghetti every night. And what I hate about the whole cooking thing is that I really am a good cook but just cannot get into it anymore. If dinner was eaten before 2 p.m. I might be alright with it. If I am not finished by 2 p.m. I am so tired I do not even like to think about it. One thing I do like is my crockpot. | ||||
If DH ever said "thank you, that was great," I'd faint! He's a steak and potatoes man who won't eat "girlie" foods like quiche, pot pies, etc. He is definitely not adventurous when it comes to eating and is a little on the picky side. That said, he doesn't complain much either. If I've made something new that didn't turn out well, he'll just quietly say "don't make that again." I can't imagine trading chores with him as mentioned earlier. There's nothing he does that I would want to do (other than sitting and watching TV news while waiting for his dinner to be served). Even if there was, he wouldn't be willing to trade for any of my chores. | ||||
Daddy was a long-haul truckdriver. Nothing suited him better than fried meat, gravy, potatoes, beans, cornbread, etc. But he started complaining at home as if he were eating in truckstops and we all knew he complained in truckstops - loudly. My mother started serving my dad bologna sandwiches. Or tuna salad. Or whatever she wanted that she could throw together quick with very little cooking involved. (Since he was a truckdriver, she cooked for herself while he was away - snicker.) He "called" her on it in a very short time. She replied that he griped whether she cooked a full meal...and he griped if she slapped the bologna in front of him...so why should she bother. That tamed him somewhat... Sherry Does this hat make my butt look big? www.keepyouinstitches.blogspot.com http://s193.photobucket.com/al...9/keepyouinstitches/ www.friendsofthedaingerfieldpu...library.blogspot.com | ||||
LOL - My father was also a truck driver. We ate whatever my mother felt like cooking during the week and then full fledge meat and 3 on the weekends with steak and potatoes on Friday night when he was home. With that said - Whose mom ever used the line - You can eat what is served, I'm not running a short order kitchen? | ||||
Sherry, that reminds me of the story my dear friend always told about her first dinners as a new bride. After several meals of hearing her husband mention how her dinner didn't taste like the way his mother's did, she got up from the table, picked up his plate, and emptied it into the garbage can while advising him to go eat at his mother's! My friend died last November . . . I sure do miss her! She was only 74. | ||||

Funding a startup business - December 07, 2010
Faced with the current economic issues, it can be more than difficult to find the necessary funding for a startup business.
Before reaching elsewhere,
should look to themselves as a the first place to cut expenses, according to an article written by Tamara Monosoff for Entreprenuer magazine. Cut back on personal, non-essential expenses and look into a personal loan. If available to you, consider borrowing money from family and friends, though be sure to carefully lay out the agreement terms, should your business not boom quite as quickly as you had hoped.
Before borrowing any type of loan, however, it is wise to build a cash flow model that will help you see whether or not your company will be able to service your debt.
"This model will show your projected monthly cash position so you can see any potential shortfalls and plan ahead for how to meet them, whether it's by borrowing or reducing expenses, " Don Sadler wrote in an article on All Business.
If you do decide to borrow, examine your options. One newer type of loan available for young companies is a microloan, which generally provides between $5,000 and $50,000 to borrowers and is more lenient on its criteria. Other options include factoring and angel investors.

3 simple ingredients and you've got yourself one hell of a dip! Pair this with fat-free animal crackers and let your inner fat kid go to town (just don't let them know it's the skinny version).
I got this delicious recipe from my friend Nicole who of course found it on Pinterest (my absolute addiction), so I decided to do a little research and tracked down the original recipe from the adorable blog Little Bitty Bakes. They have the recipe for individual portion sizes which is super smart, but I went ahead and made one heaping bowl of it to serve at parties or other events. Oh and this is just perfect for your kids!!

Cushman & Wakefield Alliance Adds Continental Realty Of Columbus, Ohio1 May, 2006, New York, NYCushman & Wakefield has enhanced its coverage through its national Alliance program with the addition of Continental Realty in Columbus, Ohio, a major industrial hub. Continental Realty is one of the largest commercial brokerage companies in Central Ohio, with 18 full time real estate brokerage professionals and 28 full time employees in various support areas. As part of the agreement, Continental Realty joins the Cushman & Wakefield Alliance program, an association of 19 leading regional commercial real estate firms in strategic U.S. markets. On a global basis, Cushman & Wakefield operates in 192 offices in 58 countries. "Columbus is a key market for us, and Continental is a dynamic firm that will be a tremendous Alliance partner," said Dave Lawton, executive managing director of the Cushman & Wakefield Alliance. "Our clients are active in the Columbus area, so this is a timely and important move for us." "Joining the Cushman & Wakefield Alliance is a terrific move for Continental and our clients," said Larry Ritter, president and CEO of Continental. "Cushman & Wakefield's national and global reach and its highly regarded brand name are major pluses for us in the marketplace." Columbus is the largest city in Ohio and its six county metropolitan area has a population of 1.5 million. The city is the state capital and home to Ohio State University, which has the largest campus enrollment in the U.S. Columbus is among the more economically stable metropolitan areas, and is one of just a handful of cities in the northeast quadrant of the nation whose economy and population grew steadily through the last three decades of the 20th Century. Several major U.S. corporations maintain their corporate headquarters in Columbus, including Cardinal Health, Limited Brands, Nationwide Insurance, and Wendy's International. The total office market has an existing inventory of 77 million square feet with a vacancy rate of 12.6 percent. Columbus is located within 550 miles of more than half the population of the U.S. As a result, the Columbus market has grown to be a major distribution center. There is an existing inventory of 220 million square feet with an 11.4 percent vacancy. Major industrial tenants include Cardinal Health, American Standard, Excel Logistics, Red Envelop, Petsmart, Whirlpool and the Gap.

I feel as though the United States could sometimes be renamed the Competing States. Every state is seeking its own identity and uniqueness and always wants to be better than another state in any given competition, which is perhaps best exemplified by the NFL and NBA. We are fortunate enough to be in arguably the only state that does not need to prove anything, and I am confident that I do not need to give any reasons for this. That is not to say, however, that we should be justified in closing ourselves off from other states, and, as of June 2012, Hawaiian Airlines offers a direct journey to one of the most special states in the nation. As one of only two states that is not physically united with the rest of the country, Hawaii's claim to uniqueness is strong.

Comments On Apr 12, 2013:These snap right in place and do a great job of protecting painted rims. Dogs like to chew on them, so make sure you donâ??t leave then on the shop floor. Otherwise they seem quite durable.

Comments On Aug 03, 2011:This helps heaps when you have black rims. and i think it makes a smoother surface for your tire iron to slide on. Makes changing a tire alot easier

Comments On Mar 28, 2011:These are excellent for protecting your rims when using tire levers, but they will crack and split if you have not adequately broken the bead on the tire first. Make sure you have actually broken the bead before using a tire lever, otherwise you will use so much pressure these will split.
I'll say it again - fully break the bead first!

Comments On Aug 16, 2010:If you change your own tires, you need these. They do the job.

Comments On Jul 26, 2010:Just replaced my OEM tires on my street MC and used these rim protectors to keep the scratches off my wheels. They performed admirably. They do get cut under the pressure of the tire irons and show usage quickly but they saved my rims from any scratches. I didn't experience any slippage under pressure of the tire irons. I would recommend these to protect your rims. Consider them consumable. They may last for three sets of tire changes but not much more than that. I would keep a spare set nearby should one become unservicable.

Comments On Apr 02, 2010:I have used rim protectors for years and bought these for replacements. They are not made of the same durable white plastic as the old ones. These are too soft a compound. They tore when used and don't stay in place. They do fit wider rims better (like the GS BMWs) because they are more flexible but they don't hold up. I'm looking for something better.

The world can look like a dangerous, intimidating place. Or it can seem like a mysterious, irresistible adventure. Undoubtedly, it is both.
That's true for everyone but especially for women.
In recent days, evidence of the risks female travelers face has been prominent. We all grieve for Sarai Sierra, the 33-year-old mother of two, killed in Turkey while venturing out of the U.S. for the first time in her life. By all accounts, Sarai prepared well for her journey. On January 7, the aspiring photographer said goodbye to her family and left for Istanbul, one of the most magical of all cities. She never returned.
Every time I hear about Sierra, I'm reminded that years ago I enthusiastically encouraged a friend to take an opportunity to visit Turkey. "You will love Istanbul," I assured her, telling her she should not be afraid to step into a different culture.
My friend took my advice with more than a little trepidation. She returned from her trip visibly changed. A traveler was born. She has continued exploring other countries, and I have always viewed it as a small personal accomplishment that I helped open the world to her.
For Sierra, travel ended in tragedy. Her family reported her missing after she didn't come home as scheduled on January 22. Last weekend, Turkish police found her body just outside the city's ancient walls. The investigation has yielded questions, rumors and the predictable blaming of the victim. We still don't know what happened.
Then we heard about the six Spanish tourists brutally raped in Acapulco this week. All of this coming after months of awful, infuriating news of attacks against women in India, in Egypt and elsewhere. And the bad news keeps coming.
What should women learn from these terrible stories? Some will surely say women should not travel or should stay away from "exotic" places.
For some of us, however, travel can feel as indispensable as oxygen. I know I am not the only person, the only woman, who would consider a life without travel, limited to one location or even one country, as a life half-lived, a life barely worth living.
And yet, pretending that travel is risk-free would be dishonest.

NEW YORK Despite competitive pricing, steel wire rod imports continue to slide as buyers concerned about the economy in the new year hesitate to take the plunge. "Its a brave new world for all of us right now. As China slows down, theyll want to put stuff over here. But looking at this past 2012 ... Im not sure theres an upside," said one buyer. "Im hoping things will become more clear at the first of the year."....

When reading the book of Job most people focus on Job's character. Wikipedia says that the thematic question of Job is -
"Why do the righteous suffer?"
But my question is about God's actions. As best as I can see in Job, God ruined his life over a bet (Job 1:9-12, 2:4-6). Innocent people and livestock died. (Job 1:13-19) And all this because of a bet with Satan, with whom one is supposed to avoid bets, deals, and negotiations.
It seems that Job's life (and the lives of his children and livestock) is just a game or one big cosmic joke to God and Satan. We can at least explain Satan's behavior by saying that he's evil. But God is supposed to be all-good and all-loving.
How do Christians reconcile God's behavior in Job with a God of love?

My very first job for a newspaper was in advertising sales in a tiny little town in northern Alberta. There were three staff - an editor/reporter, a typesetter/secretary and myself. We published a weekly paper that was absolutely horrible, not worthy of lining a birdcage. Back before the days of desktop publishing; everything was typed, sight unseen into a huge blue machine that I have since forgotten the name of. There were many typos and factual errors, the pictures were blurry, and the stories were poorly written.
But I beat the streets day after day, defending the newspaper and trying to convince the local businesses to advertise. We needed the advertising revenue to keep our jobs and keep the doors open. I had no control over the content of the paper (I was the newbie on staff) and I was embarrassed by the whole thing. But you do what you gotta do to put food on the table.
Luckily, after about six months, I relocated to another town and got a job at an award-winning weekly newspaper that I was extremely proud to work for.
Now that I've become involved with animal welfare, I often see staff at shelters defending bad practices. I honestly think these staff took a job in animal sheltering because they love animals. They probably started the job with enthusiasm, thinking they were going to be able to make a difference, saving the lives of homeless animals.
But then something went wrong. All of a sudden those enthusiastic employees begin to see the cracks in the system. Instead of saving lives, the shelter is cutting corners or killing healthy animals or making costly mistakes. It becomes an embarrassment to work there. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Staff need their jobs and they need for the shelter to keep it's doors open. So instead of speaking up for the animals they love, they defend the shelter's bad practices. Even when the shelter is killing pets when better life-saving methods are available.
Somebody has to bear the blame. So it's much easier for the staff and management to point the finger at the "irresponsible public" than to criticize shelter management, potentially losing their job. It's much easier to blame lack of donations, or lack of public support, or the No Kill advocates that are rallying for change. It's much easier to try to discredit the better methods than to embrace change and learn new things. It's much easier to call the advocates "bashers and trouble makers" and reject their good ideas. Because it's hard to not defend your employer. Until one day, you realize that killing healthy or treatable animals is just plain wrong.
I know. I was there. Defending something that I didn't believe in. But killing healthy or treatable animals is wrong. Just plain wrong. And it's indefensible.
Leadership that makes a difference includes a personal willingness to do the right thing. It makes tough choices - moral choices, spiritual choices, ethical choices, right choices.

The reality is that there is a shortage of money, health care treatment, and space for needy pets.
While people understand you call for no killing...you provide NO roadmap for making it a reality. It is easy to complain and so far all you have presented is a moral superior attitude without anything of real value---like a solution.
Come out of your ivory tower and help solve the problem. There are many animal shelters that would love to see your vision become a reality.

Mr. Lundt,Thank you for your comment. I blog in several different places and I apologize if I have been remiss at this website about the solution to shelter killing. It is really quite simple. It is not easy, but it is simple and cities like Reno, NV and Austin, TX are currently doing it (saving over 90% of the animals in their care). Jacksonville and Kansas City are not far behind. And over 80 other American communities are also following the roadmap to success. The roadmap involves using all eleven steps of an Equation that result in cost-saving, life-saving animal control. These include: 1. trap, neuter, return for feral cats 2. proactively returning lost pets to owners 3. low cost spay neuter 4. comprehensive adoptions 5. volunteer programs 6. pet retention 7. community involvement 8. medical and behavior prevention and rehabilitation 9. foster care 10. rescue partnerships and 11. a compassionate, hard-working director that can lead the way.
It costs less to transfer or adopt out an animal that it does to impound, house, kill and dispose of it's body, which is what MADACC currently does. MADACC is currently totally missing #1, 6, 7, 8 and 11. They are woefully lacking in #2,3,4,5, 9 and 10.
Thankfully, a new compassionate director has recently been hired and will begin on February 18th. But she will require the support of the entire community to achieve her goals.

Thanks Kathy
One of the reasons that the kill rate is so low is that when the Reno site gets filled---they transfer animals to a variety of other "shelters". However I could see no information regarding THEIR kill rates. Could you address that? And how you verified that?
The Reno facilities and the staff are top notch--in both quality and pay/benefits. Are you suggesting that our local budgets can remain flat and the same results achieved?
J. Carter

Mr. Lundt,
The increased costs of no-kill is also documented for other NK communities. There are links directly to county budgets and shelter 990's.
Reno - http://delawarecapa.blogspot.com/2012/04/millions-of-dollars-common-sense.html
Austin - http://delawarecapa.blogspot.com/2012/05/hillsborough-animal-services-director.html
It seems to me the no-kill agenda is placing shelters in financial jeopardy and that is something to be concerned about. Shelters can't help animals if they financially bankrupt themselves.

I will digress here. Why is some cat, dog, horse, cow, etc. worth more to you than a human? I have not read or heard of your name mentioned towards any sentiment for the disabled or elderly withering in their homes or government care facilities that gave us our generation, our lives and our families. Educate me, please. Is this animal thing just a hobby of yours and true societal issues of humans a distraction?

I have written numerous times about the link between compassion for animals and compassion for people. The two are intertwined. A truly humane society cares for people AND animals. But since my blog on the Patch is under the Pets heading. I write about pets (companion animals). $$andSense, if you want to raise awareness about human concerns, I suggest you write a blog about that.

$10 and eat for a month?
If that were true, then you could feed that crap to the animals....or would that be cruelty?
You have to accept that some animals are not adoptable, for different reasons.
Why would I adopt a ten year old dog to spend thousands at the vet only to find out his life is near its end?
What about the dog who is a fear biter? Should I assume the risk an adopt one who may eat the face off my neighbor's kid?
What about those animals who destroy your home when left alone? Is it worth spending hundreds to have an animal therapist try to correct the problem?
Some animals are better off euthanized.
As soon as you accept that you can't save them all, you can start doing good for those who can be saved.
Carrie, you need to face reality. Might I suggest some therapy as well. Start with the dollar store, see if the got headshrinkers in a box for .99

if people could stop being assholes we wouldnt need shelters..untill people stop breeding for wealth until people acctually do research before buying that cute puppy(wich turns into a dog) for ratty children who lose intrest ..until the world recognizes that they are the reason theese poor animals are beaten..neglected..thrown out like trash..until the world the so calle humans can stop being assholes this will never be solved this problem of shelters this problem of who can help theese poor animals..the homeless animals out weigh the homeless people..the thing is people have a choice to better themselves they have shelters that help them better themselves they have resources that can help them..what do animaLS HAVE?? AS OUR TAXPAYING DOLLARS ARE SPENT TO HARBOR NASTY CRIMINALS WHOM HAVE RAPED OUR CHILDREN..OUR WOMEN..THEESE CRIMINALS WHO HAVE KILLED OUR FAMILIES KILLED THE INNOCENCE..we find the money to let them live..i feel screw them.. i want my dollars to go to the defenceless animals whom did not ask to be thrown out like trash..whom did not ask to be born who just want a loving home by the humans that decided they should exist...

You are not helping the cause you claim to support. A more reasoned approach without vulgar words would be a nice place to start.
9:23 am on Tuesday, February 12, 2013
I am doing my part, I own 2 dogs and 3 cats, my wife volunteers at the Human Society as a dog walker, but I don't think there is ever going to be a perfect situation when animals aren't put down. There are simply too many and not enough pet owners, heck, look at how easy some folks leave their children and older parents.
Kathy Pobloskie
9:43 am on Tuesday, February 12, 2013
In fact Jack, there are enough homes. Twenty four million people in America acquire a new pet each year. About 8 million animals enter shelters each year. About 3 - 4 million are kiled (many of those are feral cats that cannot be adopted out as pets). So, we don't have an "overpopulation" problem. We have a marketing problem. And a management problem. Shelters that are killing animals are failing to follow the eleven steps that I outlined above. 40 to 60% of animals in shelters are lost pets. Simply using volunteer efforts to help reunite these animals with their families would go a long way to reduce shelter crowding. Yet many shelters don't take the simplest steps to do this. Some shelters have poor sanitation practices that cause animals to become sick. Good sanitation does not cost more. It actually costs less because animals that are sick require longer stays, more medication and then if they need to be killed there are costs associated with killing them and disposing of their body. In a taxpayer funded shelter, like MADACC, this is YOUR money that is being wasted. When an animal is transferred out or adopted instead - the costs are transferred to private philanthropy. Plus there are spin off effects in the community. Veternarians, dog groomers, pet sitters, pet supply stores, all benefit.

There is a better way - where shelter animals AREN'T killed!! Please look into the solution that many shelters around the country are implementing - specific programs which result in an over 90% SAVE ratio!! These programs are explained in REDEMPTION by Nathan Winograd and at www.NoKillAdvocacyCenter.org.
Kathy Pobloskie
9:51 am on Tuesday, February 12, 2013
Mr. Lundt, to answer your questions about Reno (Washoe County, Nevada). The animals are transferred to Nevada Humane Society which also has a greater than 90% save rate. If you go to their website at this link check out the bottom left hand corner under Statistics that not only shows their numbers but also how they achieved them. http://www.nevadahumanesociety.org/index.htm
You can also read this booklet called Dollars and Sense that explains the cost benefits of effective animal sheltering: http://www.nokilladvocacycenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/econbenefits.pdf

Kathy, I have seven cats I have kept out of shelters -- five directly, because their owners were planning to take them there if i didn't step up, and two who showed up as strays. They are all spayed, at my expense, and cared for.
I tend to stay away from shelters, mostly because I'd be tempted to adopt, and I know fate will send another needy animal my way soon enough.
How do we solve the problem of pet overpopulation? Better owner education and more low-cost spay/neuter programs. That about all we can do.
Evelyn Black

SHELTER KILLING is the #1 cause of death for healthy dogs & cats in Americ. However, there's a lot that can be done instead of the "save some and kill the rest" mentality that the majority of animal "shelters" are stuck in. Close to one hundred open admission shelters around the country are SAVING over 90% of all the animals coming into their doors, by a variety of programs outlined in the book REDEMPTION, by Nathan Winograd. These shelters (and many others striving toward this achievement) are documented at www.NoKillNews.org. There is a better way; owner education and low-cost spay & neuter availability are a big part of it - as well as the sometimes novel concepts of being open evenings & weekends or working with rescue groups willing to pull animals on the euthanasia list - simple things that most shelters aren't doing!!!!!!
Mr Lundt
1:41 pm on Tuesday, February 12, 2013
At some point Reno will be saturated at the deaths will increase. The HSUS estimates that animal shelters care for 6-8 million dogs and cats every year in the United States, of whom approximately 3-4 million are euthanized.
Do we really think there are 3-4 million homes PER YEAR waiting to adopt pets? DO you think these people are not adopting pets now because they don't know how or where to go?
Do we think that the people the are reckless and careless with animals will change behavior as a result of education? Some yes but 8 million a year?
I'm telling you it does not add up in my head.

Not a population problem?
Too much inventory = over population!
Pets are maintenance items and depreciating assets. Word on the street has it that people have cut back on expenses and are giving up their pet's. Right now no one needs a vet bill, a groomers bill, animal toy expense and an extra mouth to feed. People are already seeing federal tax increases on their pay checks for you know what and this is only the beginning.
J. Carter
1:24 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
Some of us believe that fixing the demand side is not the answer because overpopulation is not a myth. We need to focus on the supply side. Clearly targeted spay neuter works, or we wouldn't see so many transports headed to New Hampshire and other New England states due to their lack of supply of puppies and kittens. It's the more fiscally sound approach since it results in less pets that need animal control services, rather than the costly demand side approach. Here is a recent article that references that huge 39% of pets that come from friends, family, & strays.
J. Carter
1:25 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
Exactly Born Free. There is an image that the various NK sites pass around that shows supply and demand. The issue is they only show shelter pets on the supply side, when it should include pet stores, breeders, family & friends & strays, and others like Craiglist, etc.
The image claims 23.5 million Americans acquire pets each year, so if 23.5 million acquired animals last year and 4 million were euthanized, that is overpopulation.
What's significant about the misrepresentation in that image is the fact that it doesn't address the largest category of 39% of animals are acquired from family and friends. So if the concept is that we can shift market share, then the result is that extra shelter pet that was adopted out will unfortunately be replaced by the one he would have adopted/bought from one of the other sources. If it doesn't work with shifting the market, then the only solution is finding 4 million homes that weren't looking to acquire and animal, and that could explain the increase we've all seen in hoarding and rescues gone bad.
Kathy Pobloskie
9:04 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Born Free, you may want to check the statistics before you comment. Pet spending has continued to increase, even in tough economic times. Here is an article from Time Business and Money that shows how much Americans spend on their pets. "last year, consumers spent $51 billion on pets, a record that's expeted to be broken again this year."http://business.time.com/2012/10/04/millions-on-pet-halloween-costumes-why-we-spend-more-and-more-on-pets/
9:12 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Golly, I feed, shelter, and provide medical care for my pets. I don't dress them up for Halloween. And in my experience, cats enjoy a crumpled up piece of paper better than a store-bought toy.
I have known people who had to give up pets for economic reasons (foreclosure and move to an apartment that doesn't allow pets) but it's an agonizing decision, not the simple money-saving thing Born Free suggests.
Kathy Pobloskie
9:27 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
I don't dress my pets up for Halloween either, Randy! But apparently a lot of people do!
9:42 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2013
I think dogs might enjoy being dressed up for holidays, because dogs are really into being part of the human activities. Cats -- not so much.
My cats and my horses are a part of the family, and I'd do without myself to see that their needs are met. But it's a no-frills kind of love.
2:11 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
The whole "We can adopt our way out of killing" strategy was conceived by Maddie's Fund with research conducted by DraftFCB, an advertising agency.
DFCB approached the problem as they would with any client whose success depends on increasing sales (in this case, adoptions). Their strategy was to steal business from the "competition"--i.e., to convince people who are getting their pets from "other sources" to adopt from a shelter instead.
In the business world, if you're the competitor who sees your sales shrinking because customers have gone elsewhere, you cut back on production. You don't keep flooding the market with products that people aren't buying.
But this doesn't apply to pets. No matter where people may be acquiring them, animals keep reproducing at the same rate, creating a perpetual oversupply.
DraftFCB did not factor in a supply of "product" that self-generates.
The no-kill movement has based its philosophy and approach on this flawed strategy and have deluded too many people into believing it's possible to empty shelters if they only worked harder. By doing so, they have diminished the importance of the only tactics that can actually solve the problem: a sweeping, pervasive emphasis on spay/neuter, tagging/ID'ing pets so they can be returned without ever entering a shelter, programs to help people keep their pets, and other initiatives that reduce intake.
Increasing shelter adoptions is laudable, but it cannot be perceived as The Solution.

Bob McBride
6:42 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
That's a false equivalency. The issues are not the same. There's no need to denigrate the priorities of people dedicated to one cause, simply because they aren't the same as yours.
Why not do a blog on that topic yourself? You've got knowledge on the topic, I believe. You generally do a very good job of presenting an issue. There's certainly more than enough room on this site for a variety of issues.
Lyle Ruble
7:13 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
@Bob McBride...OK, you're right, it is a false equivalency. That's why I like you to be around, you keep people like me honest. Thanks for the suggestion about doing a blog about the condition of our "throw away" children.
8:54 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
@Lyle Ruble -- You disappoint me. Concern for animals is not antithetical to concern for other human beings. I used to know someone who insisted that as long as one person was hungry in this world, animals shouldn't be fed. That person kind of lacked a genuine concern for other human beings when you got below the surface.
Children shouldn't be throwaway, any more than puppies, kittens or baby chicks at Easter. The root cause of it all is human irresponsibility.
Lyle Ruble
9:39 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
@Randy1949....I am not advocating that we ignore our animals and let them suffer because of owner irresponsibility. I know from your previous posts that your family is not one that turns their backs on needy children. However, I think that if we should have the same amount of concern for kids that we do for animals, both deserve to be treated with kindness and empathy.
9:54 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
@Lyle -- I can also say with complete authority that a child who is treated with a lack of kindness and empathy will become a much worse problem for society than a dog or cat whose owner has turned it vicious.
Life is life, and if you bring it into the world you are responsible for it. I also belief (and this is merely a personal prejudice) that people who are brought up to have an empathy for animals extend that empathy to human beings.
9:37 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
Randy you make a good point. The other side of the globe doesn't have dog overpopulation problems, perhaps we should ship our extras out there.
If done by Executive order, maybe BHO would get another Nobel prize. This time for feeding the hungry.
Of course if our economy keeps going down the toilet, people may adopt them for the Bar b q .
That is almost as bizarre as the author's two dogs for every home approach.
10:11 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
Why can't we be compassionate to kind to all animals and children? Why is this an either/or situation? It's not.
10:28 am on Friday, February 15, 2013
Well, you can't just take stray kids home with you, no matter how much you'd like to.

In my opinion, the number one, biggest problem with pet over population is, Puppy Mills. Those individuals are in the business for the money and nothing else. The almighty dollar.
They could care less how many litters a female dog has, or if that dog is healthy or not. The majority of dog, puppies sold from the pet stores are from puppy mills. A good percentage of those puppies are in fact sick because of the conditions.
My wife and I have Rescued 5 dogs, male and female from puppy mills. these animals have never even stood on grass, some not even on the ground.
Lets maybe think about eliminating or regulating these puppy mills. Why have I not read anything about the main cause, puppy mills, in these comments?

"Our poor shooting and inability to control the boards sealed the outcome of the game," said Pettus head coach Tony Ferguson.
Falls City opened well, but the Eagles had trouble finding their shots. The Beavers captured a good lead by out-scoring Pettus 11-4 in the first period and never trailed after the opening eight minutes. It was a 24-15 game at the half, and the Beavers led 32-22 going into the final quarter. The pace quickened over the final eight minutes as both teams found their shooting touches. The Beavers hit for 18 fourth quarter points, and the Eagles added 16 markers to their side of the score board. The final was all Beavers 50-38.
Eric Montez led the eagles with 14 points. John Grayson followed with seven markers while C.J. Cruz hit for six points. Clay Brown contributed five points, and Matt Gonzales added four tallies. Kyle McJunkins closed out the Eagle scoring with two points.
"I am very proud of the effort and team work displayed by our young men. We kept the game close but just couldn't close the gap on Falls City," said Ferguson.
The Eagles were in Three Rivers on Friday night to meet the Bulldogs and will close out their hoop season on Tuesday night when the Kenedy lions roar into town.
