- 100% natural, made from silky-soft hypoallergenic Australian merino wool.
- Size: 2 x 3 ft. (60 x 90cm).
- Ideal for naptime or playtime, as a liner for the crib, bassinet, playpen or seat.* Sooths and comforts, helps child feel secure wherever they go.
Lambskins may all look alike but are not the same, and certainly not all are made for baby use. You can't simply buy a sheepskin from a home furnishings store and use it for your baby as it could be dangerous. To be safe for baby use, lambskins must be short shorn (pile height 1.2" (30mm) or less), and tanned using a special process that is safe and approved for babies.
Why Woolino Natural Lambskin?
• 100% NATURAL - Woolino Lambskin is a product of nature, a completely biodegradable and a renewable resource.
• CONTENTMENT - The natural softness of the lamb-fleece will sooth and comfort baby. Babies settle more quickly when they lay on lambskin.
• YEAR-ROUND COMFORT - Wool's soft hollow fibers "breathe" and help regulate body temperature so wool keeps baby warm when it's cold and cool when it's hot. Wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet, keeping baby always dry and comfortable.
• BABY'S BEST FRIEND - Helps baby feel secure and comfortable wherever baby goes: stroller, bassinet, seat, changing table, or play rug.
• TESTED FOR SAFETY AND APPROVED FOR BABY USE - Short shorn wool (1.2 inch, 30mm in length), non-toxic, tested and certified by Oeko Tex 100® for baby use. Specially tanned and sanitized for babies and young children.
• NATURALLY FLAME RESISTANT and static resistant. Merino wool is considered by the medical profession to be hypo-allergenic.
• HIGH QUALITY - Seamless, quality-crafted from the most luxurious dense and silky lambskins.
• EASY-CARE - Machine washable and dry-cleanable. Full care instructions included in packaging.
• Studies have shown that babies sleeping on wool settle more quickly, wake and cry less, sleep longer, and gain weight faster.*
*When used for bedding, it is recommended for children over 12 months old.
Merino wool by nature is self-cleaning and does NOT need to be washed as frequently as other fabrics. To refresh and reduce washing, turn garment inside-out and air often. Follow care instructions carefully to ensure you get the best possible wear from your garment.
Merino Wool Sleep Bags and Clothing
- It is not necessary to wash your Woolino garments prior to use
- WE SUGGEST MACHINE WASH: Close all zippers. Use gentle wool cycle, on LOW temperature, 100°F /40°C max. Gentle spin
- If hand wash: Gently soak and squish in lukewarm water. Do not agitate, wring or rub wool against wool
- Use wool approved detergent - we recommend Kookaburra, a plant based alternative to "traditional" detergents
- Do not soak or bleach
- Avoid fabric conditioners and softeners
- Use minimal amount of detergent as it can increase felting and pilling over time
- Sleeping bags can be tumble dried on "NO Heat" setting. Close zipper before tumble drying. Dry flat whenever possible. Keep away from direct sunlight or any direct heat source (radiator). Do not tumble dry blankets and clothing.
- Cool iron on outer cotton only. Do not iron prints or labels
Pilling - How to prevent it
Pilling is a natural process that is inherent in merino fabric due to the fact that merino is a staple fiber. Generally, pilling occurs because the shorter fibers are working their way to the surface of the fabric.
The best way to avoid pilling is to wash a new merino wool product after the first couple of wears. The pilling will diminish over time as non-tenacious wool fibers work themselves free of the fabric and break away.
Lambskin rugs
- Please note that when washed, sheepskin products will not come out looking like new. We recommend only spot cleaning when possible. Sponge off small, lightly soiled areas and towel dry where necessary. Daily airing is recommended to keep the lambskin fresh
- Use gentle or wool cycle (max 38°C/100°F)
- Use a mild detergent, we recommend Kookaburra, or use biodegradable wool washes and shampoos with natural pH. Do NOT use soap or washing powders containing enzymes or bleach. Do NOT use fabric softeners. Do NOT use common laundry detergents
- Gently stretch the product back into its original shape
- To dry, place the lambskin on a flat surface. Keep out of direct sunlight. Do NOT place the lambskin on a radiator or in front of a convector or heater
- Lamb-fleece may be brushed lightly after washing to help restore their soft fluffy appearance
- Dry-cleanable
- Do NOT bleach
- Do NOT iron
- We recommend only occasional washing or spot cleaning when possible. Sponge off small, lightly soiled areas and towel dry where necessary
- Use gentle, wool cycle or wash on Low (85°F)
- Use a mild detergent, we recommend Kookaburra, or use wool washes and shampoos with natural pH. Do NOT use soap or washing powders containing enzymes or bleach. Do NOT use fabric softeners
- Do NOT tumble dry
- Dry-cleanable
- Do NOT bleach
- Do NOT iron
To freshen up the comforter, expose it to direct sunlight and fresh air for a couple of hours every few months.
What is a baby sleep bag or sack?
A baby sleep bag, also called a wearable blanket or sleep sack, is a bag-like garment or covering worn by infants for sleeping. It replacing loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby's face and interfere with breathing.
Since 2005, The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended the use of wearable blankets for safe sleep. Unlike regular blankets, a wearable blanket or sleep sack is worn over your child's sleepwear, so it won't be kicked off and baby stays covered all night. The sleep bag will become part of your child's bedtime routine, providing a sense of security and comfort.
What is the TOG rating of your sleep bags? Are they winter or summer weight?
Our 4 Season baby sleeping bags are designed to be worn year round. They are made from 100% natural breathable fibers and contain NO synthetic filling. Therefore, they do not have a fixed TOG. The fine merino wool lining helps naturally in regulating baby's body temperature, keeping baby warm in winter and cool in summer.
Woolino sleep bags are recommended to be used in room temperatures 63-77F (17-25C). Simply adjust the layers of sleepwear worn under the sleeping bag to suit the nursery temperature. You can find our suggested dressing guidelines on the back of the room thermometer that comes with every baby sleep bag.
What is the difference between Woolino Ultimate (universal size) and Woolino Basic Baby Sleep Bags?
Both collections have same weight fabrics, merino wool lining and organic cotton outer. The differences are:
Woolino 4 Season Ultimate Baby Sleep Bag has universal sizing: 2m-2yr, underarm snaps for adjusting the size of the armholes, travel slots for use in car seats, strollers, bouncers etc., & both shoulder snaps.
Woolino 4 Season Basic Sleep Bag has simpler design: no snaps and no travel slots; it comes in traditional sizes: 0-6, 6-18, 18-36 months.
When can my baby start using Woolino Ultimate Baby Sleep Bags in size 2m-2yr? How long will my baby fit in this Woolino sleeping bag?
Woolino Ultimate Baby Sleep Bags provide an excellent value as they are designed to fit an average size baby from about 2 months up to 2 years of age. You may start using your sleeping bag when you feel your baby is too big to be swaddled and is breaking out of it. Please use the under-arms snaps to adjust the fit for smaller babies. Our minimum recommended weight is 10lb. or 4.5 kg.
When should I use the under-arm adjustment system?
In general, you need to use the under-arm snaps for babies up to 6 months old. However, this depends on baby's size, so for smaller babies you may have to use them longer. Please keep in mind that the underarm snaps are to be used for safety reasons, so that the sleep bag fits snugly around baby's upper body and doesn't climb up baby's face.
Do I need more than one Woolino sleeping bag?
Yes, we recommend having two Woolino baby sleeping bags. It is always good to have a spare sleep bag when one is being washed, to keep at grandparents' place, or if baby requires a quick change in the middle of the night. Enter code BOGO20 at checkout to receive our buy one item, get one item 20% off promotion. This promotion cannot be combined with any other offer.
Won't wool itch my baby's skin?
Absolutely not. We use only superfine merino wool, which unlike the traditional wool, feels like silk against baby's delicate skin. In fact, because of its softness and unique breathability, it is perfect for helping treating conditions such as heat rash and eczema.
Isn't merino wool too hot for warm temperatures/climates?
Our merino wool baby sleeping bags are perfect for year-round wear in nurseries with room temperatures 63-77F (17-25C). Simply adjust the layers of underwear or sleepwear worn beneath the sack to suit the room temperature. Merino creates a micro-climate around your baby's body, gaining or losing heat as required to produce warmth in cool conditions and enhance cooling effects in warm conditions.
What should my baby wear when sleeping in a Woolino 4 Season Sleep Bag?
We recommend sleepwear made of natural and breathable fabrics like cotton or merino wool. Please refer to the dressing guide we provide (also on back of your Woolino room thermometer) as general recommendations on how to dress your baby depending on the room temperature. Woolino pajamas are ideal for layering or to wear inside a Woolino sleep bag. The temperature in most rooms will rise and fall throughout the night, and the merino fiber has the remarkable ability to regulate your baby's body temperature.
How do I know if my child is hot or cold?
Please check if your baby is hot or cold while sleeping by touching her tummy or behind her neck. Touching baby's hands and feet are NOT good indications of their actual body temperature.
Why don't the sleeping bags have sleeves? Won't my child get cold?
Our baby sleeping bags are sleeveless to ensure air circulation around baby's chest. Babies that sleep with traditional sheets and blankets rarely sleep with their arms underneath the blankets. We recommend layering under-garments to ensure your child is perfectly comfortable in their sleeping environment. It is normal for babies to have cold hands and feet due to their still-developing circulation systems and it is not an indication that they are cold. Checking behind baby's neck or his/her tummy will give you better indication of baby's body temperature.
Woolino sleep bags sizing chart
Does the sleep bag need to be washed before the first use?
It is not required to wash your Woolino sleep bag before wearing. When you wash it, please follow the care instructions carefully.
Pajamas and clothing sizing chart
Merino wool is naturally stretchy. It has ability to expand and return to its original size so you may find our garments fit your child for longer than other non-merino garments. Our garments are cut on the generous side for a comfortable fit and to accommodate cloth diaper wearers.
How should I care for my Woolino sleep bag?
Merino wool by nature is self-cleaning and does NOT need to be washed as frequently as other fabrics. To refresh and reduce washing, turn garment inside-out and air often.
- MACHINE WASH: Close zipper. Use gentle wool cycle, on LOW temperature, 100°F /40°C max. Gentle spin
- Use wool approved detergent ONLY - we recommend Kookaburra (available at Woolino.com), a plant based alternative to "traditional" detergents
- Do not soak or bleach. Avoid fabric conditioners and softeners
- Use minimal amount of detergent as it may increase felting and pilling over time
- Hand wash: Gently soak and squish in lukewarm water. Do not agitate, wring, or rub wool against wool
- DRY FLAT when possible. When washed, Merino doesn't feel very damp and dries very quickly. Simply place the garment over a drying rack and dry flat away from direct sunlight or any direct heat source (radiator). You may also tumble dry it on "No Heat" setting

Jim Labadie is a fitness entrepreneur, publicity expert and speaker. To learn how to pitch to a producer, develop relationships with print reporters, avoid the biggest publicity mistake personal trainers make and much more, sign up for his free mini-course on publicity for fitness professionals at www.howtogetmorepublicity.com
As a personal trainer you have one job above all others: create walking, talking billboards out of the members who are your clients. Working under the assumption that you are excellent at what you do (of course), bringing in a steady stream of referrals is relatively easy. Just follow these simple steps:
1.Have a discussion with your clients regarding the service you're providing. Are they happy with their results? It is very important for the clients to hear themselves saying how thrilled they are with their new body. Let them explain, in detail, how much they are enjoying being able to fit into their skinny jeans or hearing compliments from their friends and family.
Why do this? Because it creates the perfect time to educate your clients on your referral system. By saying out loud how happy they are, the client becomes especially receptive to the idea of sending business your way.
2. Educate your client so that they know what your ideal client looks like. Essentially what you will be doing is painting a picture to them of what they were like when they first started training with you. The saying "birds of a feather flock together" almost always holds true. You can bet your client knows people in the exact same physical condition with the same fitness goals as they started with.
It's also important that your client knows to look for people who can afford your services and are willing to come to your facility. No one has time to waste these days, so don't waste yours, your client's or the prospect's by trying to land a client who will never pay your rates or isn't willing to travel the distance to see you.
3. Educate your client as to where they may find referrals. This is extremely important because if you don't tell them where to pull from, they may only think to refer their friends or family members. Let them know that potential referrals are everywhere. They might be someone they work with, someone that goes to their church or temple, someone they see where they get their hair done, the parent of one of their children's friends, etc. It's endless. The important thing is to jog their memory so that their mind is open to all possibilities.
4. Educate your clients on how to talk about your service to prospects. Nobody can promote your business for you as well as your paying clients. Tell them to feel free to tell the referral everything about you. Be sure they emphasize the results they are seeing. When you rave about how great you are at getting your clients results, it can come across as pompous. But when your client does it, it's great marketing.
Feel free to even have your client tell prospects about your fees. If, by chance, the client doesn't feel comfortable discussing what they pay you, don't push the subject. But most won't give it a second thought. In fact, most clients are more than happy to brag about all they've accomplished.
5. Be proactive in contacting referrals. Whenever possible, initiate the conversation with the prospect. If you wait for them to call you, you may be waiting a very long time. When educating your client on referrals, let them know that if they'd like the person they refer to take action and change their life as soon as possible, it's best if you contact them directly.
6. Use thank-you cards and gifts to create a steady stream. Human behavior is highly predictable. And in this case, it's important to realize that when you reward referrals, you'll receive more of them—lots more. So, be sure to send a handwritten thank-you card immediately after the discussion you have about referrals. Thank them for listening and their patronage. Also thank them in advance for the referrals they will send you.
Additionally, send a handwritten thank-you note each time your client makes even the smallest mention of a potential referral. It might seem amazing, but even the slightest recognition of the behavior will inspire people to repeat it so that they are rewarded again. Think about it: Who takes the time to write a thank-you card by hand these days? That's why they go such a long way in building rapport with your clients.
Finally, when the system works and you land that new paying client, send a small gift to the referrer. A small plant or other festive decoration sent to a client's office will not only be greatly appreciated by them but will also have co-workers asking where it came from. I'm confident you can see the value in that.

Last weekend saw the Bicycle Film Festival celebrate its 6th year of supporting bike polo by hosting a Single Player Triple Threat Shuffle Tournament in Newington Gardens, Southwark.
44 bike polo players from all over the UK arrived, err, promptly at 9.30am (many were a little bleary-eyed from the BFF party the night before). The organisers then shuffled the players into random teams of 3. The players competed in successive games of Swiss Rounds. After each round they were shuffled into a new team depending on their individual progress in the previous rounds.
The big twist with this bike polo tournament (organised by London's infamous ShuffleComm) was that shots with the broad side of the mallet (known as 'shuffles') were allowed and did not result in a disallowed goal as bike polo convention dictates. This sometimes led to a playing style moved towards a one-touch passing game, reminiscent of ice hockey, with moves finished off by a speeding attacker glancing the ball into the back of the net.
Some players felt a little dirty after their games, but everyone's spirits were kept high by the relentless heckling of other competitors: "you should have shuffled it", "shuffle that sh*t", "super shuffle", etc.
The day was blessed with sunshine and carefully selected tunes (each player had one selection) which mellifluously floated across the courts from the polo boom-box (from an MP3 set to shuffle – completing the triple threat of the tournament title). Free beer was provided by Hackney Brewery, which kept everyone smiling even after successive losses.
A short break in proceedings allowed for an old school track-standing competition in the afternoon (despite the fact that every bike polo player now rides a freewheel). French Max emerged as the champion before a few more "delightful" games of stay-on were played whilst the organisers battled to work out the current ranking of each player.
The top 12 players were taken into two semi-final games before the winning 6 players were 'shuffled' into a final game. The losers of the final were John ('H-Bomb') H, Luca ('Super Luca') Semeraro and Chris ('Nice Tats') Pickering and the winners were Ali ('Backhand') Osborn, Jon ('O') Marshall and Robbie ('Vomit King') Warin.
Winning the final was short lived for the 3 champions as ShuffleComm demanded only one player could be crowned Shuffle King. Ali and Jono (top seeds) had to play one-on-one against each other and Ali eeked out the win 3 goals to 2 even though it was clear Jono was the better player all along [sic].
Prizes (courtesy of Magic Bike Polo products, Knog and the BFF) were awarded to the players before Ali held his Shuffle King trophy aloft his head only to have it ceremoniously explode thanks to the embedded fire crackers, remember: safety first kids.

As I am sure any cat owner will be able to tell you,
someone else putting you in a box is entirely different
from getting into a box yourself. bisexualbaker
an example of what I am trying to say, has to do with privilege and ignorance, like a poly community attempting to influence peoples private, intimate relationships and when they don't succumb to the influential pressure they are shunned, afflicted, or otherwise marginalized for for exercising their rights of making their own decision on whatever matter is the issue
I am pretty much baffled by situations such as when a marginalized group (such as any form of non-monogamy, but here, specifically poly) who understands and has even experienced wrongful discrimination can ever justify wrongfully discriminated against others in nearly identical situations
specifically a couple who would like to form a triad.
anyone who wishes they could get married, yet won't allow others the same privileges, rights, and benefits
like any married couple who would prevent same sex marriages
the same as any same sex marriages would prevent polyamorus marriages
wherein those who claim the only issue is semantics, and it's about the word "marriage" or the sanctity of it is a moot point until there are no rights, benefits, or privileges being unconstitutionally withheld
The truth is, on a neurological level, we see people as "us" and "others." Some people are much more accepting, with a broader definition of "us," but it's something each and every human does. No matter how tolerant you are, there will always be some group of people who are "others." It may be to the extreme of Nazis or KKK or the Ford Nation, but no matter who you are, there is some group of people that you see as flawed.
It's our tribal heritage, brain physiology carried over from a period when basic survival meant competing for nuts and berries and hunting grounds, and the only way to assure your personal survival was to help protect "us" and combat the "others."
We are getting better, though. The "us" group is growing with each generation and the "others" group is becoming a small and deliberate opposition who truly don't care for the well-being of the majority. But still, we're only human. We have flaws, we make mistakes, we act without thinking, we think without acting, we feel without reason.
As I am sure any cat owner will be able to tell you,
someone else putting you in a box is entirely different
from getting into a box yourself. bisexualbaker
Thanks so much for sharing this post. I am totally new to open/poly idea, so honestly didn't get all of that, but what I did get was information that telling me how I feel is totally ok.
I have past damage (emotional) from a first marriage, and it's the only thing that is preventing me from going into poly lifestyle with no fears. I realize it's my problem, and the line about us being used to love being snatched from us and being broken to not fix it hit the nail on the head. That's what makes me hesitant. I love my husband with all my heart and don't want my poly desires and/or the idea of him having someone else ruin our relationships.
What about families?
One consideration that was largely missing from this thread is that of children. Poly is whatever you agree to, but parenthood is its own sort of commitment, with its own category of moral and ethical issues worthy of debate. Many parents will choose to maintain a structured household that prioritizes a stable family environment, such that polyamorous connections must be hierarchically subordinated ("secondary") and subject to extra restrictions. When kids are involved, it would seem to me haphazard to operate with the only rule being "don't be an asshole."
I have been a child, of course. Frankly, I hated it, for many and varied reasons, but one that sticks with me is that I was an intelligent capable person crippled in my pursuits because I was young. Other people -- adults -- often looked down and talked down to me because I was young, and discounted my knowledge and experiences for that reason. Not all of them, thankfully, but far too many.
I am trying hard not to inflict this on my own children, in their own house; sadly the social attitude persists.
My mother was divorced. Dated, at times. Had live-in boyfriends from time to time. Remarried twice. When she went out on dates, I don't recall it ever bothering me. The live-ins, though, they usually bothered me by claiming authority in the household I didn't perceive them having or deserving. (At least one was nuts, but that's a different issue entirely). At least one new husband bothered me by trying to step into the "father" role; I had one, even if he didn't live with us, and marrying my mother didn't make the man my father. (Might have been different had I been more estranged from my father.) I felt pushed out of my house by the second stepfather, and it wasn't a good start to our relationship.
Had any of them consciously thought of their effects of their behavior/attitudes on me, things might have gone better.
So I try to do the same for my children, and those I'm around. Both of my partners are divorced from previous marriages, and have children from them. Liam's children are not much younger than I am; in the course of our 14 year marriage, I've tried to see what sort of relationship they want from me. Mostly, not much, and that's been fine. Jai has two adult children and one minor one; I've met them all, but not recently.
Liam and I have three minor children. Jai has met the older one, recently, but not the younger two, mostly due to timing.
Potentially, yes, it could be a tangle. But, not worse, I think than some of the situations I encountered growing with my mom. (After she divorced my 1st stepfather, we attended his mother's funeral. With her new boyfriend. It did not feel weird to me at that time, but threw others when I described it later).
I'm sure there would be resentment and problems if, say, Jai tried to act in a father role with my children -- but that could happen if we were in a more standard mono relationship by way of me being widowed or divorced.
Treating the children as people in their own right helps, I think. Letting them determine the relationship they want with non-bio adults is important. Or, for that matter, bio-adults -- I did a surrogate pregnancy, traditional not gestational. As they live across state, we mostly maintain an email friendship. But I've visited them, and they visit at least once every year. This was not determined by contract; by contract I wanted a yearly update with a picture. This is connection, and friendship, created by getting to know each other and having things in common as well as interesting differences. Our shared child, when she visits, refers to me as her mother. She also calls her mother, who raised her, her mother, as you'd expect. This is how she sees things, and we're all fine with it. We've become an extended family, with the shared child as a hinge.
So, anyway, I've rambled on quite enough now....

One thing I didn't see anyone mention in this thread is that the article addresses the pressure to "do poly right".
I am new. I feel that pressure. Maybe only the "new' feel this?
I like to think my desire to do poly "right" comes from a place of care, but I also feel pressure from outside of me.
Some of it may be because I will be the only poly person some of my friends will know.
Some of it is because of perceived risk of hurt. I would like to avoid that and avoid causing that if possible.
Until recently I had no names, or language to describe how I was living. I was just living my life. I'm coming around to thinking that I am lucky to have had that experience. Makes it easier to do right by my people and not get anxious about doing poly "right".

As addressed elsewhere. Simply do what you are seeing fit to do, with access to the info that's available.
If it's "nonmonogamy" rather than clearly polyamory... well, all is cool. Carry on.
If it's poly, then you have a wealth of resource here.
IS THAT a book???? I cant seem to open it when clicking,s orry
Hi channingbee,
If you mean the blog page mentioned in the original post, I have just clicked on it, and it opened fine for my browser. Perhaps some setting is blocking your attempts to open it? I'm no computer expert by any means so I don't know.

Tomorrow, U.S. National Team Head Coach Bob Bradley will name his preliminary roster for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. But tonight, ESPN Deportes names its newest addition to their World Cup team on national television— and the LA Galaxy were a part of network's process to reach their final decision.
Don't miss LA Galaxy captain Landon Donovan, defender Omar Gonzalez, midfielder Juninho and goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts as they take part in one of the final challenges for ESPN Dream Job: El Reporter, which airs tonight at 6 p.m. on ESPN Deportes (check local listings).
ESPN Dream Job: El Reportero, an ESPN Deportes nationally-televised reality TV show, charged with the task of finding the network's newest reporter, will finally reach its climax after a nationwide search that began more than eight months ago. The winning contestant will join the network in South Africa to cover the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
For one of their final challenges, the show's three finalists— Rafel Luna (San Diego), Dhaniel Sanchez (Los Angeles) and Daniela Rodriguez (Dallas)— had to demonstrate their best journalistic judgment by piecing together a feature based on interviews with Donovan, Gonzalez, Juninho and Ricketts about the Galaxy's terrific start to the 2010 season.
Each finalists' feature was then judged by the ESPN Dream Job: El Reportero panel, which consisted of ESPN Deportes personalities Daniel Brailovsky, David Faitelson, Jorge Ramos and Rafael Ramos, no relation.
In case you miss tonight's airing, the finals, which were filmed here in Los Angeles, will be re-aired on Wednesday (May 12) at 5 p.m.

It's hard to argue against the idea that the best way to acquire a dog involves 1) planning ahead, 2) preparation that allows you to be completely ready to welcome that dog into your home and into your lives and 3) spending the time to choose a dog whose personality, size, activity levels and grooming demands are a good match for you and your family. Yet, some of the best love stories between people and dogs come out of situations that are generally advised against, including by me.
I recently met someone whose dog was just perfect for her, but she happened to have gotten that dog in what I consider a high risk situation: Her daughter had bought the dog for her as a wedding present. She married and was then presented with a seven-week old Border Collie/Lab puppy. This woman and her husband love him and eight years later, they consider him their once-in-a-lifetime dog. Despite this exceptional case, I stand by my belief that giving a dog as a gift under any circumstance is risky.
Another couple I know got their dog not long before the wife gave birth to their twins. The husband brought the dog home unexpectedly when he found it as a stray. Unable to find a guardian, they adopted him. He is a great dog who is gentle and calm with both their children (now 10 years old) so it obviously worked out well. Yet, the sudden adoption of a dog around the same time as the birth of twins sets off alarm bells for me.
I still recommend giving thoughtful consideration to the process of getting a dog and carefully choosing which dog to adopt because of the greater likelihood that the story will have a happy ending. All too often, the sorts of scenarios I mentioned above don't work out too well. On the other hand, there's no denying that sometimes people take a big gamble and it pays off.
How have your dogs come into your life—with careful consideration and planning, or spontaneously and unexpectedly?

In the world of ecommerce online marketing, there are many ways to find your audience. SEO, PPC ads, search marketing, demographics, interests, and more. Remarketing, also known as retargeting, takes audience building to another level – one that is ultimately a win-win for you and for your customers. You are able to reach highly qualified customers, and those customers get highly relevant, personalized marketing messages that are actually useful. Let's take a look at how you can put remarketing to work for you.
What is remarketing?Remarketing on the Google Display Network using Google Adwords is a process that allows you to anonymously reach past visitors of your site or online store, showing them a tailored message after they leave your site. Your message appears to these visitors as they browse other sites across the ad network. It's a powerful way to continue the conversation you began with them on your online store. You can customize your creative to present relevant items and offers to your various audiences, based on information such as items browsed and abandoned secure shopping carts. You can reach these potential customers even after they've left your site, giving them another chance to buy.
Who should use Google remarketing?Shopping sites are ideal for remarketing. Those who sell products or services online are a good bet, as exclusive personalized coupons and offers can be a great way to increase ROI. Imagine visiting your favorite shoe store and, after comparing prices, continuing to research some more – but wait, the original site is now offering 25% off, with a photo of the shoes you were about to purchase! All you need is the right technology and the right data to reach your customer at that moment of relevance.
Best practices for ecommerce remarketingIn order to get the most out of remarketing, its best to follow a few simple guidelines when setting up your campaign. Here are seven great tips that should help:
1. Tag every page on your siteReturning to our previous example: have you ever seen a remarketing ad from a shoe site? They are impeccably effective, showing you the product along with a couple of similar items. The moral of the story is clear: tag every page on your site to gather visitor interactions.
2. Tailor messaging to specific remarketing listsAs you probably know from email marketing, customization is key. You could have a number of dynamic remarketing lists, such as those for specific items, abandoned carts, demographics, or other characteristics.
3. Use sophisticated techniquesThere are many different approaches you can take to segmenting based on remarketing data. For example you could choose to not market to those who have already made a purchase; or you could choose to not show ads to those who have already visited your site - instead focusing on generating "fresh" traffic.
4. Scale remarketing campaignsUse remarketing in tandem with other techniques. For instance, you could use contextual targeting to drive new visitors to your site, thus creating fuel for remarketing campaigns.
5. Optimize performance of remarketing campaignsLayer remarketing with other forms of targeting such as contextual, demographics, or interests, focusing on those most likely to convert. These small nuances can create dramatically different ROIs.
6. Manage frequencyYou want to provide consistent reminders of your product or brand, but you don't want to over do it. With Google's remarketing solution, you can analyze your audience response and determine the right number of views that lead to a sale.
7. Become a stat junkiePay attention to the analytics that result from your remarketing campaign. Once you see them along with social media numbers, website analytics, sales, and so on, you can truly get a sense of the value of your campaign. Analyze, alter, and repeat as needed.
How to get started
Whether you are a small boutique or a massive retail store, remarketing can drive sales and build relationships. It works – and it's a must have for any digital campaign today. Google is leading the way in remarketing innovation with integration in Adwords and the Google Display Network.

Very neat stuff. I've recently noticed more and more advertisements by sites I've previously visited, and a few have been effective in getting me back to reconsider their offer. I wondered how this worked, and now I know. I'm generally not a fan of traditional PPC – due to the high cost – but will have to test this as the (likely) higher conversion rate might make it worthwhile.

Great review.
I dont really believe in PPC, but now i must give it a chance.
are there any other creative ways of marketing e-commerce?

Hi, we already have set up our Shopify store and Adwords remarketing tags & lists. What I'd like to do now is tag different stages in our funnel (cart, checkout, thankyou page). The idea is to make specific campaigns for those who dropped out just before converting, or to those who did convert (or maybe exclude those who converted for a few days).
Cart is done, but I am not able to tag the checkout pages or thankyou page (/checkout/orders/show) as they use trailing parameters and so the URL is dynamic.
The strange thing is that I have successfully set up goals in Google Analytics using the 2 URLs shown above for these specific pages in our funnel.
How can I tag these URLs in Adwords to make remarketing lists for each?
Thanks in advance!
June 14 2013, 04:48PM
Mark, would you have an idea about how I could tag the pages in Checkout and Thankyou/order confirmation page so I can implement 3 "Sophisticated Techniques"?
March 05 2016, 01:02PM
You need to change/update that youtube video..its quite old and doesn't reflect the current way of setting up a remarketing ad

I installed Postegresql and added a database which I was using as part of a local server. However, I restarted the computer and my Postgresql database seems to be gone. The Postegresql documentation says that the data should be placed in /usr/local/pgsql/data however I did not do this and this directory is empty on my system. Also, I cannot find a postgresql config file so I am not sure where Postgreql may have been putting my databases.
Has this happened to anyone before? If so, is there a way to recover my databases? Fortunately these databases are not so old that there is irrevocable memory loss but i would prefer to recover my data if possible.
If I can't find my data I will need to restart /recreate my data although I would prefer not to. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks, zach cp

A major revision, Fundamentals of Operations Management, 4/e introduces students to the fundamental processes of managing and controlling a variety of operations. Davis' book addresses the increasing trend away from lengthy, highly quantitative texts toward more pragmatic, managerial issues that confront today's operations managers. There is increased coverage of service operations rather than the more traditional "factory", or manufacturing approach. It's written in a style suited for non-majors who assume no prior background in the field of operations. Davis covers introductory and numerical examples and quantitative methods, but the main focus is on general concepts and applications. Unlike Stevenson, which focuses on the tools of operations management, Davis' approach to the subject is more conceptual or managerial.Davis, Mark is the author of 'Operations Management Integrating Manufacturing and Services' with ISBN 9780072554571 and ISBN 0072554576.[read more]

In this day and age, it doesn't take long for things to become obsolete. Digital cameras? No need, I have a smart phone. E-mail? Nope, I'd rather text. That Facebook status from 30 seconds ago? Puh-lease. Latest news only, thank you very much.
So I'm just a little surprised that a blog post from two years ago still gets people fired up. The subject matter, though, is as timeless as the seasons: the best vehicles for snow and ice.
I've taken some mild criticism for that post. One such comment began, "This might be the worst list ever for snow vehicles…"
Ouch. While some of the cars and trucks on that list might be questionable choices, I stand behind them and would drive any of them in a snowstorm and feel comfortable. Well, a Seattle snowstorm. You know, one that drops maybe 3 inches of the white stuff. For vehicles built to survive a serious Syracuse-style snowfall, keep reading!
Before I get to the cars, I should say that any vehicle properly equipped with good snow tires should be able to handle some pretty gnarly conditions. So if you can't go find a new or used snow vehicle, at least invest in dedicated snow tires. Years ago I made it through a few Eastern Washington winters in a '94 Mustang with studded snows, proof that any car can be a snow car!
A lot of folks prefer full-size heavy trucks to plow through the deep stuff. I've included some of those, because in deep snow they really are the only choice. But when things get slippery all that heft turns into a liability, because it also has to be stopped. Ideally, the best snow/ice cars are all-wheel-drive crossovers with high clearance and a lower center of gravity.
Remember, this isn't an exhaustive list, and your contributions are greatly appreciated. Just be nice.
Just don't get going too fast.
The Suburban will make it through just about anything. Just drive like a cup of hot coffee is sitting on the dash, like in License to Drive. Slow and steady…
Full-size trucks with true four-wheel drive are hard to beat in deep snow.
I'm kind of disappointed this one didn't make my first list! It might even be a candidate for "Best Snow Vehicle Ever."
It's like a mountain goat: sure-footed in the snow with a bit of an attitude.
If you're in the backcountry and dealing with a 27-inch snowfall, the Subie's probably not going to do you much good. But anywhere else you should be fine.
A good AWD system and a low center of gravity make the small Chevy sport utes a fine choice.
There are a lot of Chevys on this list. Any cars or trucks you think are missing?

River of milk - Afghan dairy farmers prosper
The dairy sector in Afghanistan is thriving. Thousands of small farmers are benefiting from an FAO project that is improving the collection, processing and marketing of their milk. Women control almost 90 percent of the profits. Milk producers are organized into cooperatives and their representatives vote on management issues. Everyone shares in the profits and plans future growth. Demand for milk products is growing and the dairy industry in Afghanistan is expected to continue to thrive, channeling money back into some of the country's poorest villages.

Apple is in the process of hiring a new PR boss, and Barack Obama's former press secretary could be the one.
Two months ago Apple's communications leader, Katie Cotton, announced that she was leaving the company. Since then Apple has been searching for her replacement, and a Re/Code article out today suggests that Jay Carney, who recently stepped down as Obama's press secretary, is one of the people in the running for the job.
Carney is also in the running as Uber's head of PR, according to Swisher's report.
Before joining the Obama administration, Carney was Time's Washington bureau chief. He's reported for Time in Moscow (during the collapse of the U.S.S.R.) and worked as a reporter at The Miami Herald.

Sarasota Police are not keeping the city safe, forcing the sheriff to send more deputies to battle violent crime in the city's north end, a clearly frustrated Sheriff Tom Knight told the Sarasota County Commission recently.
"If I've got to put that many resources in the city, I'll just go ahead and take it and be done with it," Knight said last week. "I'll take the area. We'll get rid of the crime problems."
Appearing before the commission June 18 to discuss his fiscal year 2014 budget, Knight offered a rare public assessment of the city's police force and its administration, without ever mentioning any names.
It was blistering.
"I've never said this publicly: I can assure you we have rescued the city of Sarasota more in the last two months than in the previous four years I was sheriff, and I can assure you we will be rescuing them in the near future. We are constantly in the city," Knight told the commissioners, according to a video of the meeting.
The sheriff's office, he said, deserves the credit for the recent reduction in crime experienced by Sarasota and other municipalities.
"Crime rates in some of these cities are not because of their police departments. They're because of the green uniforms you pay for," he told the commissioners.
Sarasota Police Chief Bernadette DiPino said Knight's comments do not "accurately depict what is going on in Sarasota." Her officers, she said, are responsible for the drop in crime, not Knight's deputies.
"I'm not sure how a statement like that can be justified or proven. I believe Sarasota officers worked hard for the 10 percent reduction in crime. I'm not sure where that's coming from," DiPino said. "I respect the sheriff and want to work with him and other agencies, but I don't think his comments accurately depict what's going on, or our crimefighting."
DiPino said she has not heard the concerns directly from the sheriff. The two law-enforcement administrators are scheduled to meet today at 1:30 p.m. at Knight's office.
"I'm really not sure the purpose of those comments," she said. "I want to take the high road with the sheriff. I was surprised by the comments."
Knight and city officials say violent criminals leave Manatee County after bars close on weekends and head south with bad intent. These groups are suspected of involvement in several recent shootings.
"We refuse to let people come into the county from the north, and if it takes me putting deputies into the city of Sarasota to keep the city safe, I will do it," Knight told the county commissioners. "If we have to put deputies on U.S. 301 and University Parkway to protect the city of Sarasota, we will do it. Does it impact us? You bet it impacts us — huge."
Commissioner Christine Robinson pointed out during the meeting that Sarasota Police are supposed to be the lead law enforcement agency within city limits.
"It can create administrative chaos if they are not being responsive to what's going on," Robinson said. "There will be a hole eventually, and you're trying to do the patchwork. It can really start to create a problem."
Two days later, at the county commission's budget workshop, the sheriff addressed his earlier comments, saying his "anxiety level was a little high."
"I go home every night worrying about the phone ringing," Knight said. "When you go into situations that are uncontrolled, that's when people get hurt."
Knight declined to be interviewed for this story. His spokeswoman Wendy Rose said the sheriff stands by his comments, which she said speak for themselves.
"He still has great concerns for the safety of the citizens as well as the deputies and officers out there," Rose said. "His concerns are about priorities and deployment of resources. The 'boots on the ground' are working well together. We're coordinating efforts to have some preventative presence for the people coming down in the early morning."
Sarasota Mayor Shannon Snyder is a retired deputy who has worked for Knight.
"When someone of his stature is this concerned and willing to go public over it, it gives me great concern," Snyder said. "I think the sheriff described it well, either an unwillingness or an inability on the part of the city — a succession of problems with the city's police department."
The mayor, who in the past has called for the consolidation of the police department and sheriff's office, said he does not blame the officers for recent events. He said he holds DiPino and City Manager Tom Barwin responsible.
"When you look at the number of shootings we've had — all young people — this community can't turn its back just because it's Newtown," Snyder said. "If we had three young people shot in any other part of the city, it would cause political upheaval. If it's wrong in other parts of the city, it's wrong in Newtown."
An early morning shooting that occurred May 18 near the Dread Food Market left one man injured by a gunshot wound to his pelvis, and spawned frantic calls by police for more help.
Fist fights and additional gunshots erupted as officers and emergency medical technicians were rendering aid — forcing a call for assistance from all on-duty police personnel and sheriff's deputies.
According to reports, officers "moved toward the sound of the gunfire while providing cover for civilians fleeing the gunshots. The officers were able to secure the area where the shots occurred, and held it until back up officers could relieve them and take over security duties."
Knight told the commission adding to the problem was a reduction in the number of officers by the city police department.
Sarasota Police Sgt. Mick McHale — president of the Southwest Florida Police Benevolent Association, which is poised to enter contract negotiations with the city — said staffing is dangerously low, which the PBA believes is the result of a conscious decision by the city's administration.
"The city has intentionally driven down the number of officers currently working in the city," McHale said. "As a result, we find ourselves in a position where we require more assistance from other agencies."
But McHale said he does not completely agree with Knight's comments.
"The sheriff was reflecting upon incidents that resulted in their providing deputies to assist the city with individuals who are coming into the city for the wrong reasons," McHale said. "The more growth the city is enjoying, the more officers are going to be needed."
The police department, McHale said, was in the process of submitting a federal grant request that could have paid for up to 10 new officers. Three years ago the city received a similar grant from the U.S. Department of Justice.
The grant request was stopped by Barwin, McHale was told. DiPino confirmed that.
"I think the reason is he was looking at budget issues, looking at the economy, the right size of the agency, the structure of the agency — that's the reason why," the chief said.
Barwin said the grant request for more officers was stopped because the city could not guarantee it could maintain the staffing levels required by the grantor.
"There are retention issues facing every agency in Florida," the city manager said. "We're going to have to continue to tighten our belt and collaborate as much as possible with everyone in the community."
Barwin said DiPino is doing an "outstanding job." He was surprised by the sheriff's comments.
"I wouldn't classify this as an attack," Barwin said. "If I understand it right, the sheriff was in front of the county commission in dialogue about future budgets. To some degree that may be a reflection on the stress that he may be under."

Yesterday Q wore a skirt to school for the first time this year. I admit that I was glad he held off until after the first week…for many reasons. There are lots of new kids in his class, and I guess I wanted them to know he's a boy before he wore "non-boy" clothes. I know that one could argue that point, but it was a gut feeling that I had. No matter how pretty or ugly.
So yesterday, it was skirt day. Totally cool. I was, though, intrigued (and yes, nervous) to see how the kids reacted. His teachers embraced him immediately, as did a few of the parents who know him already. It was a great reception. I don't think it really struck him as great in a different way, as it is pretty much the normal reception he gets every day: warmth, love, and a welcome.
Q then climbed up into a loft where a few kids were playing. He was aiming to join a beloved friend. As he got to the top platform in the loft, a kid Q doesn't know too well yet flashed him "the look." It was followed by a poke to another friend. As a mom, I knew the look. It read, "What is he wearing?!?!? That is weird and strange." Q didn't notice. So it was just my mama hackles that were raised, my alarm lights blinking wildly. The poked friend didn't respond, but the newer kiddo did look right at me, since I was there helping Q get up and saying good bye. So, instead of saying anything, I gave my own version of "the look." Having been a teacher, I have a pretty good one. I think it says, "think about what you're doing right now; be careful." I think the kiddo got the message. I didn't want to talk to him, I didn't want to call attention to Q, but I wanted to let him know I'd seen his look and give him a tiny bit of feedback.
I do think I could have had a nice chat with that kiddo, but I don't really know him too well. And I really didn't want to make too big a deal. And I also don't think it was a "squash your reaction right now!" kind of look. Who knows how he took it, but he didn't dissolve into tears or anything. Just kept playing. I think that's how it mostly is. A kid looks at Q, perhaps has a reaction, maybe says or thinks something, but then gets back to the important stuff of learning and play.
Q's teacher reported that she had a conversation with a second grader out at recess about Q wearing a skirt and just acknowledged to that kiddo that it's not something we usually see but that it's what he likes, and doesn't he look great?. I thought that was such a great way of handling it. Perhaps that's what I should have done in the loft. Instead, we communicated through looks. They say a lot, the looks. And often it's "the looks" that I fear most when I'm out and about with Q and folks know he's a boy in "girls'" clothes. But it's me who cares, and it doesn't seem like he notices too much. Or cares too much. Interesting how that goes.

In 1863 Nov. 29 fell on a Sunday instead of a Friday, but it was a pretty black day nonetheless, at least for the hapless Rebel soldiers who launched a disastrous assault against Fort Sanders at Knoxville. Those twenty bloody minutes ended Longstreet's effort to re-take the city for the Confederacy, following its occupation by Burnside that September.
The attack on Ft. Sanders was neither a particularly big battle as far as Civil War engagements went nor as consequential as what was going on down in Chattanooga. But it's a pretty big deal for history buffs here in my neck of the woods, so here's another anniversary link-fest for you.
- Knoxville's own historical columnist Jack Neely on the assault
- The Knoxville News-Sentinel's sesquicentennial coverage of the war in East Tennessee
- If you haven't seen the McClung Museum's exhibit on Ft. Sanders, you should definitely check it out. They have fossils, too! (By the way, that new Edmontosaurus is now called "Monty.")
- The East Tennessee Historical Society has some nifty Civil War displays of their own, and they're commemorating the Ft. Sanders anniversary with a free admission day.
- Need to read up on the contest for control of Knoxville? I recommend The Knoxville Campaign by Earl Hess, Lincolnites and Rebels by Robert Tracy McKenzie, and Divided Loyalties by Digby Gordon Seymour. For additional background, try Noel Fisher's War at Every Door and W. Todd Groce's Mountain Rebels.
- Last year we paid a virtual visit to the site of the battle. The fort is long gone, but there are still a few landmarks from the Knoxville Campaign around. Click here to book a guided tour, or stop by Longstreet's headquarters and the Mabry-Hazen House.
- Watch the battle reenacted at a replicated Ft. Sanders, constructed for a documentary produced in conjunction with the McClung Museum's exhibit.
And finally, here's a depiction of the attack by Lloyd Branson, the same Tennessee artist who did the painting of the Sycamore Shoals muster at the top of this blog:

(InStyle.com) -- At Sunday night's Golden Globes, Hollywood's biggest stars displayed a dazzlingly eclectic mix of gowns from beneath the shelter of umbrellas.
No one trend ruled the rain-soaked red carpet -- instead, the dresses that made our list ranged from a classic old Hollywood number to a slinky cut-to-there halter. Here are our top picks:
We loved Penelope Cruz's figure-flaunting black lace-trimmed Giorgio Armani Prive gown; she channeled "Nine" costar Sophia Loren's '60s-era style perfectly. Adding over 60 carats of classic Chopard diamonds made Cruz the epitome of Old Hollywood (...or, perhaps Old Rome?) glamour.
Award winner Sandra Bullock wowed us in a violet Bottega Veneta gown -- a classic, strapless cut updated with an unexpected sheer skirt. She complemented the shimmering design with gorgeous 40-carat shoulder-sweeping blackened-gold earrings and a 20-carat gray diamond ring from Lorraine Schwartz.

Newly-engaged nominee Emily Blunt was a blushing future bride in a trailing pink ruffled number from Dolce & Gabbana. Further completing the ultra-romantic vision -- aside from fiance John Krasinski, that is -- were pastel Lorraine Schwartz cuffs and a Ferragamo clutch.
Heidi Klum's ensemble was all about the ice, from her 100 carat diamond Lorraine Schwartz choker to the shade of her pale blue, curve-hugging, Swarovski crystal-studded gown from Roberto Cavalli. (The cost of the eye-popping necklace? A mere $3.5 million.)
InStyle: Top 8 fashion trends from the Golden Globes
In contrast to her trademark boho glam, presenter Kate Hudson went clean and crisp in a sculptural Marchesa gown with an origami-inspired bodice. The choice worked, and we loved her Stephen Russell jewelry, particularly the pearl and diamond tassel earrings.
"Inglourious Basterds" actress Diane Kruger supplied her signature dose of edgy femininity in a softly pleated ombre Christian Lacroix Haute Couture gown with a structured bow at the waist. She accented the standout design with Chanel Fine Jewelry and a Raven Kauffman Couture clutch.
Presenter Jennifer Garner showed off her flawless body in a shimmering Versace gown. Although she joked that the weather made it "an Aquanet kind of day," the actress looked no-fuss, no-muss elegant in her formfitting choice, which she accessorized with Bulgari diamonds.
Her role as scorned wife in "Nine" behind her, Marion Cotillard was all seductress in Chopard diamonds and a John Galliano for Christian Dior gown. Our favorite detail? The lace-edged slip revealed by the thigh-high slit.
Nothing goes better with a pixie cut than a dose of '20s flapper flair -- "Big Love's" Ginnifer Goodwin embodied the decade in a knee-baring Vionnet design (what an amazing shade of cobalt!) with deco-inspired Neil Lane diamonds.
"House's" Olivia Wilde may have been "very comfortable" in a cut-to-there Gucci gown, but we think she was equally as daring. She accessorized the gunmetal dress, one of the night's sexiest, with Tiffany & Co. jewelry and a Judith Leiber minaudiere.

But more important than the glamour at the Globes was the attention stars brought to the devastation in Haiti.
In a true sign of substance over style, Artists for Peace and Justice co-founder Olivia Wilde, Meryl Streep, Amy Poehler and a host of other celebrities will donate their outfits for an auction to fund relief efforts.
As Penelope Cruz said on the red carpet: "If we are here, we have the obligation and the responsibility to talk about it. Tonight cannot be just about the movies."

Dec. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The National Football League and its union, which had two players involved in three violent deaths in a week, may face increased pressure to improve how they help players with mental-health and substance-abuse issues because of fan expectations.
"It's critical that the league and the union get in front of these issues in a very public way," Paul Swangard, managing director of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon, said in an e-mail. "Fans will want to know: What are you doing about this?'"
Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent was charged with intoxication manslaughter following a car crash two days ago that killed his teammate and friend Jerry Brown. A week earlier, Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend before killing himself with a gunshot to his head outside Arrowhead Stadium.
The deaths have rocked the U.S's most popular sport at a time when television ratings for NFL games are at an all-time high and league revenue has surged to about $9.3 billion.
The NFL and its 32 teams, along with law-enforcement officials and counselors, educate rookies at an annual symposium and at other times of the year on issues including guns, alcohol, prescription drugs and other substance abuse, league spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an e-mail.
"We also emphasize personal responsibility and decision- making," McCarthy said.
Before yesterday's game against the Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Cowboys players bowed their heads and some covered their hearts during a moment of silence. The Cowboys won 20-19.
Cowboys' Grief
"Our team is grieving," Dallas owner Jerry Jones said in an interview on Fox television. "There's something more important than football and this is life, and certainly the lost life of Jerry."
Brent is in custody on a $500,000 bond following the single-car crash at 2:21 a.m. local time two days ago in the Dallas suburb of Irving, Texas, police spokesman John Argumaniz said in a statement.
Brent, 24, was driving at a high speed when the vehicle hit a curb and flipped at least once, according to police. Brown, 25, was taken to the hospital, where he died, Argumaniz said.
"I will live with this horrific and tragic loss every day for the rest of my life," Brent said in a statement released by his agent, Peter Schaffer.
The NFL Players' Association reiterated that it has a 24- hour car service available to all its members.
"That service does get utilized regularly," George Atallah, a spokesman for the union, said in an e-mail. "That phone number is on the back of every player's union card."
Labor Deal
In addition, the league labor deal struck a year ago includes programs to help players with substance abuse along with a 24-hour counseling service for those with mental health concerns, Atallah said.
The union has resisted attempts by the NFL to suspend players for two games who are found guilty of a first drunken driving offense, NBC Sports said on its website. The penalty currently is the loss of two game checks, the report said. An agreement reached last year to impose a one-game ban and a one- game fine has yet to be implemented, NBC said.
"I'd be very surprised if the union agreed to more stringent sanctions," Rick Burton, a professor of sports management at Syracuse University's Falk College of Sport, said in a phone interview.
Second DUI
Champaign County, Illinois, Court records show Brent was sentenced to 60 days in jail, two years of probation, 200 hours of community service and a fine of about $2,000 for driving under the influence, speeding and driving without a valid license in February 2009 near the University of Illinois, where he attended college, the Dallas Morning News reported.
"There should be an automatic two-game suspension on the first DUI," said CBS Sports analyst Bill Cowher, who guided the Steelers to victory in the Super Bowl after the 2005 season. "That's the only way to get the message through. The only hammer you have is playing time. Fines won't get it done."
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will probably face pressure to investigate whether collisions that cause concussions were a factor in Belcher's actions, Burton and Rosner said.
"I don't know if there's a correlation, but that may be the perception and the NFL should be seen to be examining the possibility," Burton said.
Black Eye'
The tragedies of the past week are unlikely to affect the league's business over the long term, said Steve Rosner, co- founder and a partner in East Rutherford, New Jersey-based 16W Marketing LLC.
"It's a black eye on the individuals rather than the league," Rosner, whose clients include baseball's Cal Ripken Jr., basketball's Hakeem Olajuwon and football's Howie Long, each retired and a member of his sport's Hall of Fame, said in a telephone interview. "The NFL is on a very high pedestal and it would take a lot to knock it down."
The sport is almost immune to negative publicity, Stephen McDaniel, who teaches sports and entertainment marketing at the University of Maryland, said in an e-mail.
Television ratings and league revenue are at record levels even after a lockout and scandals involving some its highest- profile players in recent years.
Quarterback Michael Vick's conviction for dog-fighting; wide receiver Plaxico Burress's incarceration on a weapons charge; Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's four-game suspension after being accused but not charged with assaulting two women; a 162-day player lockout, criticism over the use of replacement referees; or a bounty scandal involving the New Orleans Saints in which the NFL said players received money for hits that injured opponents.
Even increased penalties won't be enough to eradicate the risk of further incidents like the two in the past week, Rosner said.
"The NFL is being as aggressive as it can to police their players," Rosner said. "But sometimes individuals do things that can't be legislated for, no matter how scrupulous the league is."

Jason Day makes moves _ up and down _ during Round 3 at PGA
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Jason Day reeled off three straight birdies and took a remarkable gamble that didn't pay off.
This Day was moving at the PGA Championship, all right — both up and down.
Day's quadruple bogey on the par-4 18th finished off a 6-over 77 on Saturday that left him at even par through three rounds of the tournament, in a tie for 16th place and seven strokes behind leader Kevin Kisner.
Day declined to speak to reporters as he left the clubhouse following an anything-but-boring back nine that included three birdies, two bogeys, a double bogey and that eight on the 18th.
His final hole might have been tough to explain.
Day was just four strokes back when his tee shot on the 494-yard hole veered behind a tree in some pine straw on the right side of the fairway. He tried a high-risk shot to hook it around the tree , and it landed in a bush, winding up unplayable.
After taking a drop near some portable toilets , he hit a flop shot over some trees into the fairway rough . His shot from that thick grass stopped 65 feet shy of the stick, and he three-putted .
"I didn't even know what he made. I wasn't keeping his score," said Kisner, who was in Day's group along with Hideki Matsuyama. "I was pretty consumed with what the heck I was trying it do on the second shot. I had never seen a hole location short of a false front before. It's unfortunate. He played good coming in and then gave it all away, so that's tough."
Matsuyama said through an interpreter that he had "no words of advice" for Day, "but let's go get 'em tomorrow."
By his high standards, Day has called this a poor season with only two top-10 finishes and no wins in 15 starts.
The world's former No. 1 player has dropped to seventh in the rankings, but came to Quail Hollow Club with what he described as slowly building confidence after finishing in a tie for 24th last week at Bridgestone. He's also had two consecutive strong showings at this event, winning it in 2015 and finishing second to Jimmy Walker at Baltusrol.
The 29-year-old Australian finished tied for 22nd at the Masters, missed the cut at the U.S. Open and was tied for 27th at the British Open.
It seemed like a promising sign that he was two strokes off the lead after two rounds, earning a spot in the final group — something that hadn't happened in a major championship since that victory two years ago at Whistling Straits.
Things started to go haywire right after he made the turn.
He recovered on the par-5 10th after pulling his tee shot into the rough, hitting a 75-yard third shot within 5 feet of the flagstick. His birdie putt caught the left edge of the cup and rolled all the way around it before spinning out. Day stood for a moment, one arm folded, with a disbelieving smile at his misfortune.
Day then yanked his tee shot on the par-4 12th toward a cart path left of the fairway, sent his shot from that position along that same cart path and placed his third stroke to the edge of the greenside bunker. His chip stopped about 10 feet from the hole and after that bogey putt went wide right, he tapped in for a double bogey that left him six strokes behind Kisner.
He followed a bogey on the par-3 13th with three straight birdies, rolling in a 40-foot putt on the 16th and offering a grin and a fist pump. A double bogey by Kisner on that hole helped Day cut his deficit in half, pulling within three strokes of the lead.
Then came a bogey on the 17th — and big trouble on the final hole.

I was a Ross student and tried to surf St Kitts but not much to surf just small blown out wind swell typically under 4ft and 7 seconds and 18+mph onshore winds. North un-surfable hardly ever breaks + lava rock coast. If you are looking to surf don't go to St Kitts, try St Martin or Barbados. I know I am glad to be back in the states where I can actually surf some clean waves over 3ft.

Lots of wind swell - Don't forget the S side. There seems to be a fun left where the St Maarten ferry comes in. Even better exposure on E end. Saw some fun looking wind swell, there are a few wraps where it cleans up.N side, some good set ups, even though I went in winter, it was so flat I couldn't even tell where a wave would be.Barrier reef outside, maybe swell gets in, maybe not. NE promising, but reefy and windy.
