This is America, darn it, and that means we're free to make our own choices! We even have the freedom to make our own cereal, exactly how we want it, thanks to MixMyOwn.com. The company allows folks to create fully customized cereals of their dreams. (But before you go dreaming up Froot Loops mixed with Cinnamon Toast Crunch mixed with Cocoa Krispies with chocolate chips on top, keep in mind the options at MixMyOwn are unprocessed, all-natural and organic, with no added sugar or preservatives.)
Here's how it works when you log onto the site: First, you choose your base -- like various varieties of muesli, granola or flakes. Next, you choose your base ingredients, like organic red quinoa puffs, whole grain wheat flakes and puffed basmati rice. Then, you move on to selecting your fruits, like organic apple chips or apricots, as well as your nuts and seeds like organic coconut, cashews, pumpkin seeds and more. And then you finish the whole thing off with yummy extras like organic ground cinnamon, organic hemp protein powder or other options.
We love the idea of a healthy breakfast (or snacking!) option that's totally based on our taste preferences. And we doubly love the concept that, no matter what you pick, it's going to result in a natural, nutritious and non-GMO product.
Time to get clicking and crunching!
Now let us know! What else in your diet do you wish you could fully customize?

I'm sure that everyone has noticed by now that NO ONE is "recession-proof". Most high-end manufacturers are creating special "affordable" lines to supplement their normal revenue that is lacking as of late. Gucci did a special line for DSW, Rodarte for Target, Jimmy Choo, Matthew Williamson, and Versace for H&M, Vera Wang for Kohl's, and the list goes on.
My tale begins while shopping for my 10 year old niece at Gap Kids in Short Hills. She wanted an outfit for a birthday party she would be attending. Luckily, we share a lot of the same taste in clothing and both "heart" mesh. We had gotten no more than 6 feet into the store when we both saw a skirt with 3 tiers of mesh and a satin waist band. As we made a beeline for it, I noticed that the items in that section were much more "fashion-forward" than what I normally think of for Gap Kids. I finally realized why…Stella McCartney made a line for Gap Kids!!! Woo hoooooooo!
I got the skirt for my niece, but unfortunately had to return it because it didn't fit. But of course, this story wouldn't have made the page of this blog unless I found something…or THINGS…for myself. I bought a pair of cashmere leggings…yes…I said CASHMERE leggings! These are the most cozy, soft, and warm things you will ever slide your legs into!!!!!!!! For a child, I would think that $80 is too much to pay for leggings, but since I'm no longer growing…what the hell! :)
It would be nice to say that the leggings were the only things that found themselves coming home with me that day (aside from my niece of course), but this isn't the case. The matching hoodie was SUPER cute and who could resist the black velvet blazer?! I'll tell you who couldn't…MEEEEEEE! Okay…so what…I got suckered by Stella & Gap Kids, but the first time I wore those leggings to work on a cold day in NYC, I hadn't the slightest bit of regret. I think that Stella's an absolute genius for making something as simple as leggings in a luxurious fabric other than something so expected (and potentially slutty) as leather.
Kudos Stella.
While working an annual shopping event for an organization on the Upper West Side, I saw one of the retailers selling a gorgeous necklace with a carved wooden horse in the center. I literally saw it from across the room…mind you…I'm near-sighted and wasn't wearing my glasses, but knew that I HAD to have it. The closer I got to it, the more I liked it. The dark wood, the gold colored beads, the horse in the center. Unique, simple, ornate, modern, timeless…it somehow embodied all of those things and more!
No matter how many other items I saw throughout the evening, my eye was constantly drawn back to the necklace with the wooden horse. What would I wear it with??? I started picturing outfits for it. Places that it could be worn. How I could dress it up. How I could dress it down. Bangs??? Nope…I decided it'd look best with my hair in a ponytail or a bun. What mood would I have to be in to wear this? All these questions and more were racing though my head. How much was this small treasure you ask??? I wondered the same thing.
Let me start off by reminding you that I don't pay much for most of my clothing, so I don't mind spending a little more on items (great finds, acquisitions, whatever or however you'd like to think of it) that I really love. Secondly, I don't normally get buyer's remorse. This is because my "style" doesn't really change drastically (one of the pro's of not being super trendy). Back to the question I've been trying to avoid answering…HOW MUCH WAS IT??? Well…$300…some may say that's not bad, and some may think I'm out of my mind. I'm gonna side with those who found the happy medium and think that if you like it that much, it was worth it. Well luckily enough, I got a "vendor discount". Needless to say that didn't take much off the price, but to be totally honest, I probably would have purchased it even without the discount (where there's a will…).
Long post short, I love, love, LOVE my necklace and even though I've only worn it once to date, it'll have many happy years in my possession and many more opportunities to see the light of day!
Until next time, remember that "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." - Coco Chanel
This blog is going to be a journey through my mind. Sometimes it may be my most intimate thoughts put into words or maybe even somewhat of a poem. It might be me just venting about someone or something that has annoyed me. Or perhaps a dope pair of shoes that I want or some other fashion-related topic. I'm a multi-faceted woman who loves art, music, food (like a fat kid loves cake!!!), and FUN! It may seem extremely random at times, but that's the risk you take when delving into the depths of my mind…thoughts that are sometimes funny, sometimes crazy, sometimes creepy, sometimes random, but always honest.
Hope you don't mind being the Kit to my Baloo (think Tale Spin people…) because I'd love for you to take this ride with me. I have no idea where I'm going, but the fun is in the journey!

Outside Lands 2011 Lineup Includes Phish, Muse and Arcade Fire
Heavy on electronica, jam bands, and groups with majorly intense cult followings, Outside Lands 2011's just-announced, three-day lineup looks like it will finally get people excited again after a few lukewarm years.
My bet is that with all the rabid Phish (who are playing two sets!) phriends, Deadmau5 nuts, and STS9, Big Audio Dynamite (ex-Clash member Mick Jones' band from the 80s and 90s) and Warren Haynes Band superfans, tickets will disappear as soon as they go on sale this Thursday. These seasoned festival circuit bands bring with them an astoundingly loyal fanbase that will be either in ecstasy or on ecstacy during these crowded, sweaty sets. And that's not even taking into consideration the heavy indie rock hitters like the Arcade Fire, Muse, the Black Keys, Girl Talk, Best Coast and MGMT, who are sure to bring an entirely different set of fans (with far worse dance moves) to Golden Gate Park. Clash of the titans, indeed.
Rounding out the edges are Erykah Badu, Big Boi, the legendary R&B songstress Mavis Staples (if you haven't heard her latest You Are Not Alone, co-produced by Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, get on it), The Original Meters and The Roots, who will add some much needed flavor to this batch of usual suspects.
Last year, there was a glaring lack of local talent in the OL lineup, during a time when Bay Area music was riding on a particularly strong wave of awesome weirdness. This year, we'll see how Ty Segall, Tamaryn, Vetiver, the Stone Foxes, Lyrics Born and the Fresh & Onlys fill out the festival stages. We have a feeling they'll bring the ruckus and rep hard for the home team.

Marc Alan Goodman's Building Strange Weather Blog: Stops & Starts
March 1, 2011 by Marc Alan Goodman
The next installment in the "Building Strange Weather Blog" series by producer/engineer and studio owner Marc Alan Goodman. Click to start at Step 1: Finding A New Home; Step 2: Design; Step 3-4: Waiting For Permits (Part 1) and (Part 2)
WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN: The last three months have been a series of stops and gos unlike anything I could have imagined. I look back to a year ago, just before I became a property owner myself, and I can remember walking past vacant storefronts and wondering "how in god's name can anyone afford to have a space remain vacant in this city?"
Little did I know that 10 months and seven days later I'd still only be imagining work on my own place. I've had to do some serious soul searching to figure out if there's anything I could have, or rather should have done better, but when I look back on all the details I'm ultimately happy with how far we've come. The fact that we're starting construction this week certainly helped…
Building a recording studio in Brooklyn…I knew going into it that there are certain things that would take longer than anticipated. I was told by a number of respected friends to plan for the build-out to take 3x as long as I would have expected. It turns out that I needed to double that — I've been delayed twice that long just getting started.
Everyone knows Brooklyn's bureaucracy is like a black hole, so I understood that permits would take a long time. Contractors notoriously run behind schedule. But what's really dictated the speed of work has been organization — more specifically any organization or lack of organization that I've been responsible for myself.
Communication seems to be the variable that's both most critical and most time consuming. It only took a few months to get the plans for the ground floor, but I had to wait until I had them in my hand to take them to the structural engineer and other architect so they could begin work. As soon as the architects got working I left them to themselves and focused on the next most pressing problem: funding.
If I'd been in a rush, having someone around to manage the architects would have helped a great deal. As it turns out months later, when the money was finally in place, I had to get everyone to match each others' plans. There goes another three months.
Actually getting that money in place was a mission in itself. I got a good deal on the building because I was able to make it happen fast, which meant dealing in cash and getting a mortgage retroactively. Every banker I spoke to prior to the purchase told me that this wouldn't be a problem so I went ahead with the deal. However when I went back to those same bankers to start the procedure they all told me that there is a Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac restriction preventing them from backing a mortgage until the property has been "seasoned," or simply owned for six months.
Once again I was told "Come back in six months and this will be easy!" Six months later I get a lot of "Great, let's start the paperwork" responses. But once the paperwork started there were more holdups.
Due to the recent falling out of the American mortgage industry all of the major banks have closed up their mixed-use property departments. So the residential specialists would say they can't deal with it and send me to commercial. Then the commercial specialists would try to send me back to residential. After going through this two or three times I got smart and asked what was going on.
They weren't authorized to work on a loan for me, but the mixed-use department didn't exist anymore and there was nowhere to send me! On the occasion when I did speak to someone who seemed interested, the current status of the property would come up.
The big backers have no interest in a building that is partially vacant as collateral. In order to fix up a vacant property one would need a construction loan, which few banks still consider for businesses looking for less than three million.
After all of this my contractor directed me to a local mortgage broker who has financed a number of mixed-use loans in the neighborhood. He too was absolutely sure that a loan wouldn't be a problem but in the end was unable to follow through.
I ended up taking a short-term small business loan at a far higher rate than I initially anticipated in order to get things moving. Theoretically I should be able to get a mortgage after the building is complete to pay off my short-term loans. I've been assured it won't be a problem. I won't pretend that I'm not nervous about it but logic dictates that if they're going to give a loan to anyone, giving it to someone with an existing, cash-earning, finished property in Brooklyn as collateral should be a pretty safe bet.
The next major holdup was outside of my control but certainly could have been predicted, and could be considered even a tad pun-ish: the weather. This year, snow has basically brought NYC to a halt, freezing all kinds of developments and building in its tracks for months.
The first work we needed to do was outside, and there was no easy way to do it in the snow. On top of that, all of the local crews had plenty of work doing expensive repair jobs and no one seemed interested in settling into a long project before the spring. Although people were happy to talk about getting started in the snow everyone seemed to drag their feet a bit, and at this point I have to assume for good reason. I wouldn't want to be working outside through the last few months, plus the roof and concrete wouldn't dry. The whole thing would probably have been a nightmare
To wrap up: it's a hell of a big project that I've gotten myself in to, but I'm excited to finally start getting down to the details. Next time I'll have some pictures (at last!) to share and we can start getting our hands dirty.

Strange Weather Building New Recording Studio In Williamsburg
June 9, 2010 by Janice Brown
Strange Weather owner/engineer Marc Alan Goodman is building a new recording studio on Graham Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The new studio will be designed by Wes Lachot Design (Saddle Creek Records' ARC Studios, Mitch Easter's Fidelitorium, Electric Lady Studios' B and C acoustics) in cooperation with Hannah Purdy of NYC architecture firm, Walsh Purdy.
The plan includes a 400 sq. ft. "reflection free" control room featuring all of Strange Weather's existing gear, including the 40-channel API 1608 console, Pro Tools HD3, Studer 820 ½" and A820 24-track machines, and vintage outboard gear galore, as well as a 750 sq. ft. live room and two large iso booths.
Plans are in the works and construction should start mid-summer! Strange Weather is currently located next to The Bunker Studios on Broadway in Williamsburg and will be making its migration over the next few months.
Stay tuned for updates!

Below is an article titled 1940s fashion , we hope this article would help for everybody who need it
Do you want to give something different by getting dress with 1940s fashion? It could be a nice idea to bring the vintage into modern life. If you are bored with modern trends, get dress with vintage idea will be very refreshing. As we saw on the old movies, men and women got dress very neatly at that time. Their dresses are such remarkable and unforgettable. 1940s dresses are unique and the austerity is very visible. For women, the most iconic items are stockings. The shoes are also unique as the rubber was limited at that time. Wooden pumps are very popular during 1940s. The other iconic thing of 1940s fashion is about the hairdo. Have you ever paid attention to the style of 1940s women's hair? They have kinds of unique hair styles. Some of those styles are known as victory rolls, finger waves and pin curls. And the most popular hair accessories used by women are ribbon and headbands.
If you want to get the vintage impression, you should pay attention to this. Because the 1940s fashion trends occurred over decades ago, it is rather hard to find some dresses and accessories which look similar to the fashion of 1940s. You better do searching to find the best stuffs. Find the most representing stuffs such as gloves, headband, earrings, bright lipsticks and many others. You can also find inspiration from 1940s movies. You can decide which style is good for you and which one is not appropriate to be applied. Being different with old fashion is a good idea. However, you should pay attention to the congeniality of the fashion to your body. Do not insist to wear the old fashion which is not appropriate to you. When you think that 1940s fashion is suitable, then go on. if you search for 1940 men's fashion you could get on my other post.

In 1994, Mitt Romney called for "full equality" for LGBT Americans, but this afternoon his presidential condemned the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal's ruling against Proposition 8. "Today, unelected judges cast aside the will of the people of California who voted to protect traditional marriage. This decision does not end this fight, and I expect it to go to the Supreme Court," Romney said. "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman and, as president, I will protect traditional marriage and appoint judges who interpret the Constitution as it is written and not according to their own politics and prejudices." As the Washington Post's Greg Sargent asks, "That note about judges who interpret the Constitution according to their own "prejudices" — is that a reference to the fact that the judge on the case was gay, which was cited by Prop 8 supporters as proof of his bias? Naah, probably not. A major party presidential candidate would never go there." For more on Romney's devolution on LGBT equality, click here.

Step 1: Ingredients
- Cream cheese frosting - whatever recipe you want use. Make enough recipes so that you use 3 packages of cream cheese. Make sure it is room temp (or so) when you frost the cake.
- 1 large tub of nutella (or two small tubs)
- 3 large candy bars (optional). I used Butterfingers. Any crushable candy bar would work.
- Chocolate covered coffee beans (optional)
Step 2: Making the layers
- Cut each muffin in half horizontally so you have 2 equal layers.
Note: Eating the leftover muffin tops while making the cake is encouraged, nay, required.
The bacon explosion (or whatever that multi-pound roll of sausage meat and bacon was called) made me do it, and when I got to the part where I realised this cake was just muffins, nutella and cream cheese I just did it again.
Remember to lift with your legs LOL

On Supranationality
AbstractEuropean integration faces a quandary. Even though the European Union is on the eve of an unprecedented expansion, politicians and scholars claim that it lacks a coherent direction, and they speculate about what the finalité politique of European integration might look like. In this article it is argued that a debate devoted to ends needs to take heed of what has been introduced in the course of the integration process, namely, supranationality as a new mode of political organisation. After a brief discussion of two prominent conceptions of supranationality, the author contends that the most promising reading of supranationality lies in conceiving of it from the perspective of anti-discrimination.

Story by: Jordyn Taylor
Bastrop, La. (KNOE 8 News) - The father of murdered Tracy Edmonds walked out of court angry after learning that her ex-boyfriend and convicted killer is asking the courts for a re-trial.
"My daughter was gunned down, and Mr. Long was gunned down," said Robert Edmonds. "And we're still playing games. I want to bring this to a conclusion because they have to relive this every time they come down here."
"We have been trying to show throughout this incident who actually committed the murder," said Crossley's attorney Lewis Scott.
When asked if Crossley's own daughter testify against him, Scott said: "Perhaps it's his own daughter, I'm not sure if it's his daughter or not."
"His daughter testified," said District Attorney Steven Sylvester. "The victim's daughter testified and she identified that Mr. Crossley shot her mom and they found him guilty, it's as simple as that."
But Crossley is still maintaining his innocence and wants a new trial. The news is devastating for the two families.
"Tracy's son called me that morning in September crying that his mother had been shot and Mr. Long who was an only child," said Edmonds. "And now we're going through a kangaroo justice of filing this motion and that motion, and I believe that everyone should get justice but enough of this."
"I can't explain how I really feel because I've been so hurt - that was my only child," said Long's mother Mary Murphy. "And they took the only child I had from me and I don't think I will ever have a complete closure."

Fergie has found new motivation to work on a solo album, after attending the Coachella music festival in Indio, California, earlier this month.
The Black Eyed Peas singer tells Us Weekly she's in the "writing phase" for the follow-up to her 2006 solo release, The Dutchess . She says she was inspired by her Coachella experience, adding, "I just have such an eclectic music taste and it just reminded me of that."
Fergie says she's learned to balance her time between her personal and professional lives, after she and husband Josh Duhamel welcomed their son, Axl Jack , last August. She says they want to have another child, "but there are no plans anytime in the near future" to expand their family.

Is our lifestyle appropriate for a golden doodle?
December 28, 2008
Is our lifestyle appropriate for a golden doodle? We'd like to get a golden doodle puppy, but we need to make sure that we can give apuppy/young dog enough exercise.
We both work full-time, so our current plan is as follows: 3 x a week I will take the puppy to work with me (yes, I'm lucky enough to work at a place that allows you to bring a dog and many people do) the other 2 week days my wife will bring the puppy to doggy day care. The puppy will receive the following walks (15 mins in the morning, 15 minutes at lunch, 30 minutes in the evening, and 15 minutes at bed). My wife may take the puppy running with her when it's able. Is this sufficient exercise? I've seen different things on the internet claiming that a golden doodle will need up to 2 hours a day. We have a large house with a backyard so I'm pretty sure we have enough space. We will take the dog to obedience/agility class at least once a week and will be able to bring the dog to the park on the weekends. This seems like a question that could be answered with googling, but the information out there is inconsistent. Thanks for all your help.

Information is likely inconsistent because golden doodles are just mutts, not an actual breed of dog.

I take my dog to work. I'm not familiar with this breed, so I can't comment on your full plan here. However, I wanted to point out that taking a
to the office isn't something you can assume will work. I have my own office with a door that I can close and lock. Even so, it wouldn't be practical to have any old dog in the office. You need to have a dog whose temperament (not just the breed's temperament) is suited to hanging out more or less quietly and not overly-actively.
I have a friend who got a puppy with the intent of taking her to the office and now has her in doggy daycare 5 days a week (think $400 or so a month) because the dog is too active to allow her to get any work done (also in her own office with a close-able door.
If I were you I would rescue an older dog (say 2 or so). The advantage here is that the dog is past it's puppy activity stage and there is someone (the foster parent or shelter) who has a pretty good idea what the dogs are like and can match you with a dog who will fit into your life and your plan.
I adopted my dog via petfinder.org. When I contacted a rescue organization about a dog I told them specifically what my plan was and that I needed a dog that would meet certain criteria, including being suitable for the office and not barking because I live in an apartment building where barking would not be welcome. I told them I would love to have a beagle, but that I understood that beagles bark a lot and thus it probably wouldn't be right for me. Well, they had a beagle who doesn't bark. He's a mellow guy, likes to play when it's time to play and sleep under the desk when it's time to work. As a bonus, he's one of the three best dogs in the whole world.
That's the nice thing about rescuing and older dog. Explain to them what you need in a dog and it will already be clear which dog will fit your needs. With a puppy you can never be sure what kind of dog any individual puppy will grow into.

Your lifestyle seems fine, and your plans for appropriate and near constant company and supervision for your dog seem great. However, while your walking schedule is fine (perhaps long for a young pup and one you'll grow into), this is not an exercise schedule, nor is it a toileting schedule for a puppy.
Puppies have, like infants, an extremely poor sense of when they need to go. And, like infants, they sleep a lot. You need to take the dog out to toilet after every nap, when they get excited, after playing, and after every meal or drink. This is, realistically, about once an hour. The dog also needs to go out last thing before bed and immediately on waking - and by immediately, I mean in your PJs before you've brushed your teeth.
That's because house training is about forming a good habit. You need the dog to form the habit of peeing and pooping out doors, and never indoors. Therefore you need to place them there whenever they may need to go. This is frequently.
When your dog is older and needs more exercise, your schedule may not be active enough. There's an old adage that a tired dog is a good dog, and it's true.
Having said all of that, I would encourage you to look at penguin's post again and perhaps reconsider getting a slightly older dog who's temperament is known and who will fit into the plans you have. You can skip the 20 pee breaks a day, and a slightly older dog may require less exercise and be more content to sleep the work day away.
I am a dog lover, and I will never, ever raise a puppy again. (If I'm investing that kind of time into a small creature, it better be one who will grow up to support me in my old age.) Our four year old boxer rescue was a perfect match, a perfectly behaved office companion, and a big sleepy sop who really revs up when we get to the park. No dog is more loved or more loyal - you do not need to bond in puppyhood to have the perfect companion, I promise.

It sounds wonderful! I would also think about playing ball with it in the mornings before work, so the dog will be a bit tired and much better behaved at work with you. A tired dog is a well behaved dog. Also, since it is a mix of two breeds, I imagine you could wind up with one with more poodle traits or more golden traits, so look up both breeds and make sure you are happy with both.
On preview, I love
If only...

The answer you got from google was inconsistent because there is no defined breed standard for a "goldendoodle," and you won't find any standard breeding controls for this "breed" because the only ones turning them out by and large are puppy mills that won't produce any consistency whatsoever and will make other mistakes in your future family member's critical first eight to twelve weeks. There's other things you should look for from a breeder, including certifications that the mother and father have been screened for common defects, and these things can all be faked to a novice but are plain as day to an experienced dog owner.
Puppies are cute, but are you prepared to deal with one for it's first few weeks? They need constant attention in order to be housetrained (not houseBROKEN) properly, they need vaccines at puppyhood and then again typically at four months (and risk contracting deadly diseases like parvovirus if they're in an unsafe outdoors area before then) and ten months and one year of the initial rabies vaccination. If you haven't done any research into what having a young puppy in the house entails and exactly how a good breeder treats their puppies, you should probably go check some books out of the library and read up on canine puppies in general before you even think of picking a breed or size.
Frankly, and I say this as a single guy with two active 2-year-old dogs who is an active member of kennel clubs and rescue foundations, puppies are a royal freaking pain in the arse and I hope never to have to deal with another puppy under the age of a year again ever. The cute does not even BEGIN to make up for the "OMG IF THIS LITTLE RAT SIZED FURBALL CHEWS ON MY TOWELS ONE MORE TIME..."
For your first dog -- if you want a dog, get a dog. All of the things that you're looking for can be found in dogs (jogging partner, able to be taken to work, can get some but not require much exercise, etc.) in general. If you want a curly shaggy soft golden coat, there's rescues all over the place that can meet your desire. As a bonus, the dog's personality is usually already well-understood by a rescue (especially one that involves foster families) and you can get the look and size of dog you want along with the personality and needs that will fit your life.
This is kind of a rant, and I apologize for that, so if you have more questions you can feel free to mefi-mail, email, or post over at
and I can help you in whichever way you need. Leaving "goldendoodle" out of it for a moment, a friend of mine made an excellent blog post three months ago about
whether or not she was ready to bring a dog into her life
, and ended up adopting a female beagle the week before Christmas.

Seconding the rescue advice. At least then you know what kind of dog you're getting. Also, not all dogs are like this, but some are perfectly content to be left at home or in the backyard (weather permitting) while you work. No daycare needed.

I don't think that 15 minute walks are near enough. I walk our 3 year old dog for an hour before work every day and most of that hour is spent at the dog park, romping. Then she gets walked for 30-60 minutes in the evening, plus a few times a week she goes to the beach to run until she can't run anymore. And she's a fairly low energy dog as dogs go. A larger breed puppy, especially from 6 months to 2 years, does need hours of exercise every day. And a lot of that exercise needs to be running like a fool. It's also really important for them to spend a lot of time playing and generally socializing. If it can play with other dogs a lot great, otherwise you need to be prepared to interact a lot with your dog, not just a walk on the leash. This not only socializes the dog but it keeps it from coming up with ways to entertain itself that involve your furniture and shoes. A tired dog is a good dog!
An older dog would do a lot better with that schedule or a less active breed and might be a good intro to dog ownership. Also if you have an older dog and then get a puppy the older dog will do a lot of the training for you, which is handy.

btw, a dog that would probably do really well with that level of exercise is a retired greyhound. They are amazingly low key, like big plush toys and do great with hanging out places like offices.

Yeah, seconding fshgrl on the 15 minute duration being less than ideal for many dogs. If that is all my 3 year old dog gets (eg during a really rainy season), he will act out that energy in some other less appropriate manner. If your 15 minute slots go to 20 minutes and your 30 minute slot to 45, with some off-leash time in that mix, plus weekend romps, you'll probably all be happier.

My grandparents have a GoldenDoodle and while he is totally adorable, he is so hyper! He is about 18 months now and still jumps all over the place. I can't imagine him sitting in an office all day...every time someone walked by he would get too excited.

Really active dogs need off-leash time every day (in my opinion, all dogs need off-leash time). It's sort of the difference between walking and running for half an hour -- one is a lot more intense. So you might want to look into where these walks can take place where the dog can go a little nuts--or if it's in your backyard, throw the ball around or whatever. It takes a lot to wear them out. And, I'm sure you've thought hard about this, but the commitment that I had made when I got my dog became glaringly apparent my first winter with her. Take a little time to imagine the schedule you're describing every day for the next fifteen or so years.
I love my dog, and I love having her and I never regret the commitment, but when you're walking around in the woods in the rain, soaked, cold, and late for work, you get a deep sense of what 'commitment' means.
That said, it sounds like your dog is going to have a really good deal and it says good things that you've thought this through so well. I'm really just putting this out there.

Like A Terrible Llama, I appreciate that you've put thought into this before rushing out to buy the puppy.
But why not find a breed that suits your lifestyle or just adopt a dog that needs a happy home, rather than stressing about if your lifestyle will suit the breed that you've decided you want?
Adopt a mongrel, see how that goes for a year or two, and then you can spend a fortune on a golden doodle when you are sure it will fit in with your life or you can cope with the upheaval of an unpredictable pup.
(Is this the part where I say 'don't buy it from a pet shop'? No, I'm not a PETA nut, but having been on the wrong end of a 'gift' that was not the intended Labrador at all, it grew into a Great Dane very quickly, I think I'm qualified to say 'ensure you get the right dog, from the right source'.)

I spent Christmas with a golden doodle. He is adorable, loving, loyal, and very, very hyper.
They are not mutts, BTW, they are cross-breeds.

If you are absolutely dead-set on getting a dog that will be able to go to the office with you immediately, I would get a (specifically selected) adult dog. HOWEVER, if you want a puppy, get a puppy with the knowledge that everything might not go exactly as planned...and make sure you are ok with that.
Now for advice on golden doodles. Go find some to interact with. I always was intrigued by this particular mixed breed, but after meeting a few in obedience classes or at the dog park, I am less enthused. Most that I have met are unmanageably energetic...nice, but hyper. I imagine like every type of dog, some are not this way, but the 30 or so that I have met were pretty high-strung. Go find some, interact with them and see what you think.
You will be great dog owners, and I think you have a more realistic vision of the commitment required than most. Good luck finding the perfect pet!

We have a large house with a backyard so I'm pretty sure we have enough space.
Is the backyard securely fenced? I think this makes a huge difference, though it depends on the dog, too. We've had dogs who were incredibly happy to hang out out back alone doing doggie things (my mother's Jack Russell runs in circles alone and any attempts to "play" with him generally fail) and some who just want to be at your heels constantly. I am not advocating, of course, leaving your dog alone in your yard for hours.

This seems like a question that could be answered with googling, but the information out there is inconsistent.
Also, there's no hard and fast information because dogs are individuals, and vary widely as individuals, much less between "breeds." Look for a dog with less exercise requirements, and you'll likely be happier.

In my experience, standard poodles are smart, relatively high energy, and people aren't allergic to them. Golden retrievers are loyal, like/need to retrieve(duh), and sweet tempered. Any puppy needs more care than you listed, but that won't last forever. Your schedule sounds great for a dog that's at least 1 year old. If you build in the time to take care of a puppy, I think you'll be fine.
Best dogs I've ever had were half-breeds.

Cross-breeds are a cross of two breeds.
Mutts, aka mongrels, are many breeds.
All can be wonderful.
My Doodle nephew (so to speak) is about two. He loves to retrieve, and to bring you "presents," like his blankie or some socks.
say "thank you!"

No, when a dog of one breed produces offspring from another, that puppy is a mutt. Not a cross-breed. Not a designer dog. A mutt.
A "cross breed" would be something like what the Australian labradoodle people are doing -- working from some set of initial stock towards a breed with clearly defined characteristics that breed true. When they get there eventually, they'll have a breed of dog that might be reasonably regarded as a cross breed. AFAIK, nobody is doing that with "goldendoodles." They're just letting goldens and poodles fuck. When that happens, the offspring are mutts.
There's no way of knowing what your goldendoodle will be like. You might get a dog that's essentially a funny-looking golden, which might well have exercise needs that are through the roof. You might get a poodle with a golden's coat. Who knows? Certainly not the person who watched the golden and poodle fuck.
The plan you describe would be adequate to great for many breeds of dog, or an adult mutt whose characteristics are known. They might not be adequate for the stamina of a working golden, which is what you might get.
Frankly, I don't see why anyone would pay the frankly ridiculous charges that designer-mutt producers charge to get some random draw out of the joint distribution of two breeds. If you want a mutt, there are many available at any age for minimal cost. If you want predictable characteristics, there are also many good breeders of most breeds out there.

Seconding everything everyone has said, really. It will probably be difficult to take a brand new puppy to work and get anything done. You'll need to take the dog out every single time it eats, drinks, or wakes up, plus any time you think it might need to go to the bathroom. You do not want to mess around with housetraining, do it right the first time! If your workplace has other dogs, you need to be conscious of saftely before your dog has been fully immunized. Opinions vary on the best course of action, but ask your vet before you bring your dog to work.
Your walking schedule will probably be too much for a tiny puppy and not enough for an older one. A goldendoodle will be HYPER, REALLY HYPER. Which is fine, I have a high energy dog myself, but (once your dog is a little older) be prepared to walk him/her about an hour twice a day, in addition to regular bathroom breaks. Ideally one of those walks will include some off-leash time. This might sound like a lot if you don't have a high energy dog, but trust me when I tell you that your dog will be VERY BAD if it is not adequately exercised, and will probably be very good with appropriate exercise and training.
I love puppies, and you should absolutely get one if you want, but just be aware that it's harder than it seems. I remember my husband and I fought much more than usual the first couple of months after we got the dog because it was just so inconvenient so much of the time to have her. After the first year, she got a lot easier, but she really only settled down after two years, and she still needs so much exercise. I don't want to discourage you at all, but I know that I personally was not prepared for how much effort it takes to raise a good dog from a puppy.

I have raised two puppies (sequentially, not simultaneously) while bringing them to work with me.
The only reason it worked is that I work with my husband and we were able to switch off caring for them when the other was on the phone, in the bathroom, etc. Because when a puppy has to go, there's no time to wrap up your conversation--the puppy has to go
. When they're not peeing, they're hungry. Or they're wide awake and wanting to play. I felt very frenzied and harassed for the first six months with each of them, and made way less money during that period, but it was a wonderful, happy time for all of us.
It took about 6 to 8 months before they were really in the groove of "here we are at the office, it's time to chill out next to the desk." Before that, it was necessary to take breaks for them to play fetch in the hallway, play tug, run around the office, etc. And my dogs are much, much smaller than a Goldendoodle, and a much, much less hyper breed. So consider whether that's going to fly at your workplace.
I think the posters saying you should consider an older dog have a very good point, but if you really want a puppy, I think you might consider a different breed. And you absolutely must crate train, that's the only way you're going to get any work done. But seriously look into the retired greyhound suggestion--from everything I have ever heard, they sound like the perfect office dogs, very snuggly and low-key, and don't have huge exercise requirements.

Is this a first dog for either of you? As robinpME points out, the workload for a puppy is huge and it's a years, possibly 3, before you have a mature critter. Whatever your lifestyle is, it will change when you have a dog. (In my opinion, for the better, but will you mind having to vacuum more than once a week and keeping a pile of dog-feet ShamWows by the door for muddy paws?)
If you want to go with the doodle, fine, but be aware that they are often badly bred. If the breeder doesn't want to talk to you about certifying for all the standard health problems of Labs and Poodles, then you really should look elsewhere. I know of a group that was trying to rehome almost 200 of these dogs from one breeder - and I assure you that no decent breeder of any kind of dog would have 200 on the property.
If you go with adoption through a rescue group, it might be helpful to find out what the people in charge of that rescue do with their dogs - there are a lot of reasons why people who have performance dogs are cannier about health and temperament than people who do breed ring or nothing. Your local shelter is doing the best they can but may not have the time for thorough evaluations. Any reputable group will work with you if the first dog you take home doesn't work out.
Is your profile up to date? If so, you want to hang with some of
these folks
and talk dog. They all have dogs, and lifestyles.

It sounds as if your dog will have more than enough exercise.
and others are right about the need for a regular housetraining schedule, though - you will need to work on this. Look on
for a Goldendoodle pup or young dog. Right after Christmas is peak puppy throwout season, as people get tired of their new "present." You will doubtless find any breed that you could desire within a few weeks - with the added advantage of being housebroken already if you select the typical shelter dog (which is thrown out at two years old when it is no longer puppyish and cute -- but is also typically housebroken).

The Rams host home meet Saturday at 1 p.m. at Moby Pool
Feb. 1, 2012
Complete Release
By Sarah Thomsen
Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Rams plan for a packed weekend with back-to-back meets against Wyoming and the Air Force Academy. While the Rams will travel to Wyoming to meet their biggest rivals, the Cowgirls, the Rams will host the Falcons, Saturday at Moby Pool with competition beginning at 1 p.m. MT.
The Rams have coupled with the CSU Bookstore to give away 100 green "Rams Splash" t-shirts to the first 100 students with their student IDs.
"With just 100 or so of their family and friends [the athletes] kind of go about their business," Head Coach Chris Woodard said, "but when they start having support from students or alums or community members, I think it shows. I think it kind of spurs them on to bigger and better things in the water."
Saturday's home meet marks the final-dual meet of the season as well as the final-dual meet in the collegiate-careers of seniors: Kristen Gropp, Jennifer Lamb, Fran Mathias, Kim Schemahorn and Shayna Solomon.
One of the major goals the Rams have for the season is to finish with a record of .500 or above. Currently the Rams have a record of 4-6 overall and 1-2 against their Mountain West rivals. To make their goal they have to win against both MW teams.
"I told the girls that we wanted to achieve this goal of a .500," Woodard said, "but our main goal is going to conference and putting up times and points there."
Friday, at Corbett Pool in Laramie, Wyo., the Rams will face their age-old rivals, the Cowgirls (10-4, 2-1 MW). The Rams and the Cowgirls have been trading wins and losses for the past nine seasons. In the past two seasons the Rams have fallen to the Cowgirls, which can only add to their determination.
"The rivalry obviously predates my experience here," Woodard said. "When I was an assistant here under John they were always hotly contested meets. During our early existence we were 35-0 until they finally broke through. Now that they've broken through, they've become a real player. They can give us a run for our money every single time."
Saturday will be no less of a challenge. Currently the Rams hold a 14-season winning streak against the Falcons (15-2, 0-2 MW), but that does not mean the Rams are underestimating their opponents, especially considering the Falcons are currently ranked second in the conference.
"They're both well coached teams," Woodard said. "They have scorers basically in every event, not a lot of holes. So that's why they stack up pretty well against us."
Quoting Head Coach Chris Woodard:
His expectations for the athletes:
"What I want to see is basically kids getting up and racing with a lot of confidence and rolling with the punches, if something doesn't go their way they're already putting that behind them and already focusing on the next race."
Comparing championships with back-to-back dual meets:
"It is physically exhausting and certainly mentally grueling to have to swim in the morning and afternoon [at the championships], but they are rested, suited and shaved. These meets they won't be."

Entryway Kids Shoe Storage: What's Your Solution?
The kids come home from school, eager to kick their shoes off and start the afternoon — and there it is, the inevitable living room shoe pile… or even worse, random shoes scattered all over the house! I'm having trouble coming up with a system that works for me and them, so I'm asking you — how do you control your little ones' kicks?
Best Foot Forward: Make a Good Entry
Best of 2012
They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression — and your entryway, be it a sweeping stair hall or a humble alcove, is the first impression visitors will get of your home. It's also the first place you'll land when coming home after a day at work or a long weekend away, and a sort of waystation for all the random accumulated stuff of life. So get inspired by these entry halls from our 2012 house tours.
Winter Ready: 10 Boot Trays
We haven't yet seen our first snow day here in Chicago but, it being the beginning of December, it's only a matter of time. A boot tray is a winter essential for any home. It gives you a place to put your dripping, snow covered, salt crusted boots when you come home. And, as the snow melts, the lip of the tray collects the water and prevents messy puddles. Check out these ten boot trays, in different styles and price points.
Be-foyer and After: An Entryway Makeover
Before & After: A Nautical Mudroom Makeover
As the main entrance of the house, as well as being in eyesight from the kitchen, Sarah's mudroom was her dirty little secret that she wasn't really able to keep a secret. But after 5 years living with her entryway as an eyesore, she finally decided to tackle the project. Since she lives close to the water, it wasn't a stretch that she decided on a nautical theme for the room.
Do You Have Shoe Storage in the Entryway?
We've talked about asking party guests to remove their shoes at the door before. In fact, it's been touched upon here, here, and here. The topic never comes up without a lively debate ensuing. But this post is for those who have decided, for whatever reason, that they'd like guests to remove their shoes. Maybe it's an intimate gathering of close friends only, maybe it's just family, or maybe you're comfortable with asking even a large gathering of guests to go shoe-less. Whatever the circumstances, we recommend ample storage right at the door:

5 Orange Accessories For the Entry
It wasn't exactly intentional, but I noticed the other day that I have a lot of orange in my home's entryway. Maybe it all started with the gray front door — I've always loved orange and gray together. However it happened, I find myself with quite a few orange accessories right where one walks into my house. All that orange makes for a warm, cheery welcome.

Today, I'm re-sharing a great little video I did with Rebecca on The Landing Strip. Don't chuckle (though many do), as this is a very good term for that place right inside your door where you "land" and "take off" each day. If you start to look at your entrance as the first filter in protecting your home against clutter, you will realize how helpful this can be. Enjoy and add your new comments below. I'll look for them!

Amazing streak to have 7, 4 then 6 perfect innings by the starters. I don't think I've ever seen that in a Dodgers series.
First place tie if we win.
Wow.... I'm amazed that Hudson made it to a 3-0 count to Kemp. Must've been thrown behind him in order for him to have not swung at 'em.
Hmmmm, not sure what the point of pulling Nomar is in a 1 run game.
fack... i'm missing this one too after deciding on watching Billingsley last night over Kuroda the night before?
i think i'm quite-ing baseball.
GESCOM: it's never too early to start beefing up your obituary!
Yeah! What the hell? Pull Nomar and replace him with the offensively-anemic Baroa. Better hope this doesn't go extras...
Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Bullets are cheap. Life is priceless.
Glad to see Kemp finally pulling away from Furcal in the home run department...

Learn how to make an easy recipe for old fashioned chicken and dumplings just like mom and grandma used to make. Just follow along with this fun tutorial and relish in the wonderful memories of childhood and cooking with grandma in the kitchen.
Many of us have distinct memories of time spent baking and cooking in the kitchen, with mom, with grams or even with an aunt. There are memories of cookies, pies and cakes and other wonderfully yummy treats. At my house one of those happy memories involves cooking a recipe for old fashioned chicken and dumplings with my grandmother.
Recently we decided to recreate our own old fashioned chicken and dumplings and found it was a lot easier than we thought. Even a cooking novice will find this easy chicken and dumplings recipe simple to make and delicious to eat.
Easy Old Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings
Table of Contents
Adding Dumplings to Pot & Complete
Prepare your ingredients:
The first thing you need to do is gather your ingredients. Here's what you'll need:
1 pound of chicken thighs, cut up or cut up whole chicken and remove one pound
Boiling Chicken & Veggies:
Once your ingredients are ready to go the first thing is to locate the largest stock pot you have and dump all the veggies in. See an example below.
Next you'll want to add the chicken and cover with water (to a level where it just covers).
Add your spices and light stir. See here:
Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer about 1 1/2 hours or until chicken is cooked through.
To Make Dumplings
(Do this step while chicken & veggies are boiling):
In a separate bowl stir the Bisquick mix and milk until soft dough forms.
Adding Dumplings to Pot and Complete
Drop spoonfuls of dough mixture on top of the cooking chicken & veggies mixture.
Add enough to make a layer of dumplings along the top.
Don't worry if it looks like it's blending together, it will cook into little biscuit mounds.
Cook this uncovered about 10 minutes.
Then cover and cook another 10 minutes or until the Bisquick mixture has turned to what looks like cooked biscuits.
Remove from heat.
Now you are ready to serve! Keep in mind this is really hot, so it might be best to let it cool slightly before serving.
And that's about it! It's as easy as that to make a wonderful recipe for old fashioned chicken and dumplings.

First Drive Review: 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman
This 2008 review is representative of model years 2008 to 2014.
By Alisa Priddle of Car and Driver
When you start life as a Mini, nine and a half inches is huge. That's how much length has been added, give or take a 10th, to create the 2008 Mini Cooper and Cooper S Clubman, née Traveller, née Countryman.
The stretched version of the Mini Cooper had this assortment of monikers during development. In the end, Countryman was discarded for conjuring up rural images when Miniphiles expect street-legal go-karts. Traveller was tossed because it had more legal issues than the others, leaving Clubman.
The vehicle mirrors the hardtop Cooper to the B-pillars. Then it gets interesting—there's a rear-hinged third door, the Clubdoor, on the right side. The front-passenger-side door must be opened first to get at the Clubdoor's latch. On right-hand-drive British models, this Clubdoor, then, is on the driver's side, which is convenient for placing baggage in the rear seat. Our setup is better for rear-seat passengers. Doing away with the right B-pillar creates a great maw through which to reach the now-usable rear seat. And that door is quite the marvel. It has an airbag, a seatbelt for the front passenger, a fixed-glass window, and trim that completes a two-tone interior. The exterior is two-tone as well, with black or silver as the secondary color.
Equally signature are the split doors at the rear, recalling the 1960s Mini Traveller and Countryman. It forced engineers to design rear lights into the car's body, not the doors.
The Clubman is about 150 pounds heavier than the smaller Cooper and uses the same engines: direct-injection 1.6-liter inline-fours producing 118 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque in the Cooper and 172 horsepower and 192 pound-feet in the Cooper S. A 1.6-liter turbo-diesel won't be sold in the U.S.
European customers get automatic start/stop at idle, but this fuel-saving technology will not be available on U.S. models. The official reason: The North American office doesn't want it. The N.A. office's unofficial reason: EPA tests don't measure much benefit, and it's questionable whether Americans have accepted vehicles that turn themselves off and on.
Go-Kart Handling
Shifting was smooth with the six-speed manual transmission—a six-speed automatic also is available—but we recommend a stronger spring for reverse, as it is too easy to slip into it when seeking first gear.
Road noise was more pronounced on a Clubman S with the sport suspension and optional 17-inch Dunlop Sport tires (Goodyear Excellence 16-inchers are standard).
The Clubman has an additional 3.1 inches of rear legroom over the regular Cooper. Although the European models seat five, there are seatbelts for only four in U.S.-spec versions. Notably, there are nine cubic feet of cargo room, expanding to 33 with the rear seats folded down. And the Clubman has two sunroofs.
Pricing has not been announced, but we expect the Clubman to start about 15 percent more than the Cooper, which would put it at about $21,500 for the base Clubman and $25,500 for the Cooper S Clubman. They are on sale now in Europe and will be here in February or March.
Performance Data
Performance (C/D EST):
Zero to 60 mph: 6.3-7.9 sec

Patagonia-Sonoita Scenic RoadThis winding road in Southern Arizona is cowboy country, plain and simple, with miles of gorgeous grasslands and big sky.
By Nikki Buchanan
The Patagonia-Sonoita Scenic Road meanders through a stretch of Southeastern Arizona that reaffirms many of our long-held notions about the Old West. It's cowboy country, plain and simple, offering up desolate desert stretches, knee-high grama grass and big sky, which explains why parts of Oklahoma! were filmed in this part of the state.
Called The Mountain Empire because it's surrounded by some of the country's most beautiful sky islands (the forested Patagonia and Santa Rita Mountains, surrounded by "seas" of desert and grasslands), the area is rich in biodiversity.
There are a couple ways to approach this drive. You can either breeze through the 52.5-mile route in an hour or spend a couple of days meandering. There's a lot to do — particularly if you're into fishing, bird-watching or checking out the local art scene.
Heading northeast from Nogales on State Route 82, you'll quickly leave behind the tiny hilltop houses of the town as you descend to the desert floor of the Santa Cruz Valley. At Mile Marker 12, you'll see Patagonia Lake Road on your left, the turnoff that takes you 4 miles up a curving paved road through rolling hills studded with scrub oak, yucca and ocotillo to Patagonia Lake. If you want to camp, picnic, boat, fish, bird-watch or hike, you'll have to pay a fee to enter the park. But this 265-acre, man-made lake is a glittering little jewel, lush with shade trees, plunked down in the middle of the desert. Birders flock to it, as do anglers, who drop their lines for catfish, crappie, bluegill, bass and stocked trout.
Back on SR 82, you'll continue north and after about 5 miles you'll arrive in Patagonia, a quaint artists' community and international birding destination with a grassy strip of park running the length of it. It's a great place to poke around. The town offers a small, well-stocked bookstore, charming galleries featuring the fine art and hand-made crafts of local artists and artisans, and interesting shops filled with Native American jewelry, instruments and textiles.
In addition to tourists, hundreds of butterfly species migrate to the area in the warm months — Patagonia boasts a butterfly garden to attract them. Meanwhile, bird fanciers the world over flock to The Nature Conservancy's Patagonia-Sonoita Creek Preserve, a lush riparian habitat for more than 300 species of birds, including the gray hawk, green kingfisher, thick-billed kingbird, violet-crowned hummingbird and rose-throated becard.
Continuing northeast on SR 82, you'll soon see horses and cattle grazing among the rolling hills and grasslands of Sonoita. However, cowboy country is slowly giving way to wine country. If you're interested, make a detour at the junction of SR 82 and State Route 83, head southeast (turning right onto SR 83 and left onto Elgin Road) and make a quick loop past a handful of the state's popular wineries.
Otherwise, turn left onto SR 83, flanked by the Santa Ritas and the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area, home to pronghorns, deer, javelinas and coatimundi. As grasslands give way to cactus-studded desert again, you return to Interstate 10, leaving behind a beautiful pocket of Southeastern Arizona.
