Teams interested in Flutie better do their homework [8:20 AM]
CBS Sportsline reports: 'And while Flutie should be held in esteem for overcoming the odds and accomplishing everything he has, there isn't a stop he has made in the past 16 years where he hasn't at least contributed to some degree of friction in the locker room.'
Chargers try to woo Wiley [4:44 PM]
North County Times reports: '"It went well,'' Wiley said of the visit, before heading home to Los Angeles. "They don't have much selling to do; I have already researched the situation and it's a team that I have tremendous respect for, despite their record.'
Ex-Bill Wiley exits without Bolts offer [4:42 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports: 'The Chargers may yet sign Wiley, but their decision not to make him an offer might have been an attempt to keep from bidding against themselves. By allowing Wiley to visit with other teams, the Chargers can see what the market will bear.'
New Titans kicker may be veteran [9:23 AM]
Nashville Tennessean reports: 'Tennessee contacted two veteran kickers yesterday, engaging in preliminary conversations that could lead to visits by John Carney and Steve Christie.'
Clearing the air [9:07 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'How important are the Bills to this community? When Donahoe officially made the announcement that Johnson was the man at 7 p.m. Wednesday, the news conference was carried live by Channel 2, Channel 23 (Channel 4's sister station) and Empire. And all three 11 p.m. newscasts led with the Bills' selection.'
Credibility gap [9:00 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Speaking of mistakes, local radio outlets certainly were having a field day with another blunder by WGR-AM on a big Bills story.'
Koshinski admits to muffing Thomas coverage [8:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Stop the presses. A broadcasting executive has admitted a mistake. Bob Koshinski, the general manager of the Empire Sports Network, deserves some applause for admitting that he blew it when he decided against carrying Thurman Thomas' retirement as a Buffalo Bill live on Wednesday afternoon.'
Bills, Johnson rework contract [8:56 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The Bills saved some more salary cap room by spreading out money in Johnson's contract. The terms were finalized late Thursday night, an NFL source told The News. The Bills now stand about $2.8 million under the NFL salary cap of $67.4 million, according to a source with the NFL Players Association.'
Lighthearted Flutie confident new door will open for him [8:54 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Doug Flutie entered the rotunda of the historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace on Friday with a bounce in his step and a smile on his face. This hardly looked like a man who had lost the battle to be the Buffalo Bills undisputed starting quarterback to Rob Johnson.'
Flutie glad to be free [8:39 AM]
AP reports: '"I'm not bitter," the 37-year-old quarterback said. "I'm looking at it as a great opportunity for me. For the first time as a free agent in the NFL, I'm not knocking down doors. They're looking for me."'
Wiley, Armstrong top Raiders' shopping list [8:22 AM]
Contra Costa Times reports: 'His 2000 sack total was two more than he recorded in his first three seasons combined. The consensus among NFL observers is that Wiley is capable of being a dominant player for many years.'
Flutie enjoys freedom [6:49 AM]
Boston Herald reports: '"The only thing that makes me shake my head is wondering what more could I have done? But they're basically saying they think Rob is better than I am, but that (sense of hurt) basically lasted for two hours. I'm in the driver's seat now."'
Flutie's convinced he will fill the bill as No. 1 somewhere [6:45 AM]
Boston Globe reports: 'After hearing from four teams in the past two days, the popular quarterback thinks he'll find a starting job for next season.'
Wiley visits Chargers [9:13 PM]
AP reports: 'Wiley also plans to meet next week with Oakland and Seattle, said his agent Brad Blank. The defensive end has also said he'll give the Bills a chance to re-sign him.'
Chargers move on; is Flutie in plans? [1:28 PM]
North County Times reports: 'Butler and Smith have chased Flutie before, when bringing him to the Bills from the CFL three years ago. And while the 5-foot-10 Flutie hasn't grown since, his NFL stature has, after winning 21 of his 30 starts.'
Butler tight-lipped on Bolts' shopping plans [1:24 PM]
San Diego Union Tribune reports: '...the moves could help them make a run at quarterback Doug Flutie and defensive end Marcellus Wiley, both of whom were brought to Buffalo by Butler. In fact, Butler spoke with Wiley's agent, Brad Blank, after the opening of free-agency at 9 PST last night. The two agreed to talk again today to arrange a visit.'
'One hell of a ride' [1:20 PM]
Buffalo News reports: '"As a businessman, this has been one hell of a ride, and I'll be forever grateful to Doug Flutie and Buffalo Bills fans," Ballou said. "But marketing is all about reinventing yourself, so that's what we'll do. Who knows, maybe we'll be back with Flutie Flakes for San Diego or Cleveland, or wherever Doug lands."'
End of the 7-11 debate [8:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'It is, to put it mildly, counterintuitive to keep a quarterback who has a starting record of 7-10 over the past three seasons and cut a quarterback who went 21-9 over the same span. But it seems to us the Bills made the right choice.'
Rogers joins cap victims [8:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Starting outside linebacker Sam Rogers was cut, as expected, as the Bills made their final moves to get under the $67.4 million salary cap every NFL team had to meet by 4 p.m. Thursday. Rogers, a six-year starter, joins nose tackle Ted Washington as the prime Bills defenders on the waiver wire.'
Second guesses [8:55 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'So the Buffalo Bills have finally voted one quarterback off the island. Even though there's a survivor, that doesn't necessarily end the Great Quarterback Controversy. On the contrary, for Internet junkies and talk show groupies, it's only just now getting good.'
Flutie not on Bucs' short list [8:01 AM]
Tampa Tribune reports: 'It appears as though the Bucs and Buffalo Bills have something in common. Both teams believe they can succeed without quarterback Doug Flutie running their offense.'
Salary Cap Squeezes N.F.L.'s Big Names [7:58 AM]
New York Times reports: 'One National Football League team official said yesterday that there are at least eight teams interested in Flutie, including the San Diego Chargers, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Washington Redskins.'
Free agent DE poised to strike It rich [7:12 AM]
New York Daily News reports: 'Wiley very soon will not only sign the biggest contract ever for a former Columbia University football player, but he could get the biggest contract in the free agent class of '01, checking in at around $50 million.'
QB rift was deep [6:46 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: 'Finding himself on the other side of a sack for a change, Rob Johnson yesterday had a chance to celebrate. Instead, the survivor of the Buffalo Bills quarterback controversy resisted sniping at former teammate Doug Flutie.'
Johnson confident in his ability [6:34 AM]
D and C reports: '"I wish you guys knew the total situation of how divided the team was and how mentally draining it can be," Johnson said. "I mean, coaches were taking sides, it was that bad. "Guys would come out of meetings and they'd say, 'Boy, they really bad mouthed you in there and they're rooting for the other guy.'"'
Flutie hoping to play in sun [6:33 AM]
D and C reports: 'Flutie, released by the Buffalo Bills Wednesday in favor of Rob Johnson, told WCMF's Brother Wease "the only thing that really ticked me off is the perception that Rob beat me out -- that's he's better than me."'
Bills' Rogers is a cap victim [6:30 AM]
D and C reports: 'Running back Antowain Smith survived the Buffalo Bills' final roster purge of players to meet yesterday's NFL's salary cap deadline. Linebacker Sam Rogers wasn't so lucky.'
Flutie again left holding short end of the stick [6:29 AM]
Houston Chronicle reports: 'Now, once more, he is available to any team that wants to win. He knows he can, if only they would let him.'
Say It Ain't So [9:14 PM]
CNN/SI reports: The Chargers and Bills made QB decisions ...
CNNSI.com puts them in historical perspective.
Sports fans love to reminisce over the days when it all went wrong: the wasted draft pick, the tragic trade or the defecting hero. These may not be, by definition, the worst roster moves ever made, but they were the ones that affected us on a personal level. These are the events that caused -- and still cause -- us to sit on our bar stools and lament the cruel twists of life.
Decision to keep Johnson the right choice [9:12 PM]
The Sporting News reports: 'Johnson has not endeared himself to many fans because of his knack for getting injured. He was knocked out of nine of 19 starts with the Bills. Some of that was attributed to his maddening habit of holding the ball to long, which resulted in far too many sacks.'

The Provost's Office and its various subdivisions maintain student education records as an integral part of providing student services. All student education records and the information contained therein are subject to the provisions of the federal privacy act known as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) and, subject to exceptions stated in FERPA, are not available for inspection by others without a written release from the student unless the person making the request is a University faculty or staff member with legitimate educational interests. Such personnel might include a faculty advisor, professor, dean or a counselor. Parents may or may not be excluded from seeing their student's education records or receiving information from the records without a release signed by their student, depending on the applicable provisions of FERPA (see "Special Note from the Provost" below).
Generally, students may inspect their own education records at any time the record keeping office is open. Prior notice is required to inspect your own file as inspections are done under the supervision of the office staff. Students may copy the contents of their own education records, although if the file is extensive there may be a reasonable copying charge. Students may not see their parents' Financial Aid Form or other financial records. Where records involve two or more students, the student may view only that part of the record that pertains to him/her. Students do not have a right to access records of instructional, supervisory or administrative personnel if those records are kept in the sole possession of the maker and are not accessible or revealed to any other person except substitute personnel. In addition, students do not have the right to access or review the records of Campus Security if the records were created for the purpose of law enforcement. In all cases where access to records is denied, the student and supervisor of the record shall attempt to informally resolve the matter. If the situation is not resolved in this manner, then the Provost, or his/her designee, shall make a final and binding decision regarding access after reviewing the arguments for access and denial of access.
If students find objectionable material in their file, they should call it to the attention of the supervisor of that record and if the supervisor agrees, the material can be deleted or amended. If the supervisor of the record does not agree to the student's suggested deletion or amendment after the student has had a chance to present all evidence in his/her favor, then the student may add additional or explanatory material to the file, which will be kept as part of the educational record.
All student files and records are subject to lawful subpoenas and court orders.
University files pertaining to students are normally purged after five years, although each department and College follows its own procedures.
Special note from the Provost on University Policy concerning release of student education records to parents and guardians:
Generally, it is Drake University's policy to request a signed consent from the student before the University will release the student's education records (including grades) to parents. The University treats students as adults, and encourages parents to become partners with their students. The University believes that this approach reinforces the importance of autonomy and accountability in student development.
There is no law forbidding students from voluntarily sharing all their information with parents after the student receives it from the University, and no consent form is required for such voluntary sharing between student and parent.
Under the following special circumstances, the University may release student education records to parents or others without student consent:
determine eligibility for the aid;
determine the amount of the aid;
determine the conditions for the aid; and/or
enforce the terms and conditions of the aid; and
The University's policy with regard to disclosure of student information to parents is explained to parents and students at summer orientation. Parent access is through a channel in blueView, the campus web portal.
Questions regarding FERPA, University policy or parental access to student education records can be addressed to the Office of Student Records & Academic Information, 271-2025, or the Office of Academic Excellence and Student Affairs, 271-2835.
Adopted by the Faculty Senate, May 9, 2002
Supplemented by Provost to reflect University Policy concerning release of student education records to parents and guardians, November, 2007

I originally posted this in the main software forum but did not get any responses for known programs that do just this. An excel or word macro can be considered.
I am finally having time to start to put my CD collection into the digital age. ( have close to 400+ albums! Most are from overseas when I traveled.)
I am having a hard time finding a stand alone program to print the track info on a jewel case insert. I searched the forums and found only one program that looked promising but did not meet my needs. My Epson printer has a built in disc printer with software so I do not want to invest in disc label software just to print jewel inserts. Once upon a time, REAL had a program that produced nice fanfold inserts but it was part of the REAL PLAYER software. All I want to do it to list the track info in two or more rows on the insert. Because I am archiving to DVD, there are quite a number of tracks and info to print.

Published: 21st December 2012

Whether through public, private or hybrid, cloud delivery is now on the strategic agenda of CIOs for resource-efficiency benefits. Indeed, as IT plays an ever-increasing role in business strategy, CIOs and IT leaders have the opportunity to influence the board and aid business growth.
What issues should CIOs keep front of mind in 2013? What expectations should they hold to? In 2012, Savvis looked at just that in a study of 500 IT leaders. Based on their insights, suggest IT execs resolve in 2013 to stick to:
Although budget limitations remain an issue, CIOs are turning their attention to increasing collaboration within organisations, promoting projects that make them more agile and differentiate them in the marketplace.
Implementing a collaborative infrastructure solution is an important first step when pushing IT to the forefront of business strategy. A fully integrated IT infrastructure solution allows organisations to gain transparency, predictability and control over their cost models, time to market, product portfolio and many other business drivers.
IT leaders clearly understand how outsourcing enables them to focus and improve other areas of the business. In fact, 50 per cent of UK IT Leaders are driven by the need of IT agility to address business needs through outsourcing. The benefits of redirecting resources away from infrastructure and onto core competencies include improved internal communication, enhanced operational efficiencies and the ability to align funds to more revenue-generating projects that drive the business forward.
Cloud continues to be seen as the leading way to deliver flexible, efficient and cost effective computing to every level of the organisation.
Rather than paying a fixed upfront CapEx or long-term contract fee, the cost of cloud varies with the amount of services used — a true 'pay as you go' model. In our study into global IT outsourcing, Savvis, IT leaders, told us that the top three benefits of this model are cost reduction and containment, infrastructure scalability and flexibility, and improved quality of service.
This 'scalability model' enables businesses to respond to changing needs and opportunities in real-time, delivering a tailored yet flexible infrastructure.
Competitive advantage
Finally, CIOs should expect the most from their IT solution. IT outsourcing is instrumental in differentiating an organisation, whether through stretching IT budget to invest in innovation and revenue-generating projects, or simply delivering flexible, efficient infrastructure performance. Our report revealed that, on average, CIOs predict a 26 per cent saving of IT budget through outsourcing. IT outsourcing is viewed as a business enabler, boosting IT budget by a quarter and helping them deliver more value to the business as a whole.
While it's no surprise that CIOs themselves are acutely aware of the business benefits of IT outsourcing, then, perhaps their most important task of all is to communicate them to leaders beyond the IT organisation.

1/2 cup
1/2 cup
1/8 teaspoon
1 1/2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
5 cups
confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup
This is by far the best frosting I have ever had! I made it with butter and butter flavor Crisco and I used whole milk for a more creamy frosting. I have never had so many compliments and it's so simple to make. It's so versatile that I made a double batch and used part to frost a cake and then we frosted sugar cookies. I do recommend making sure that you are beating it long enough so as to eliminate lumps of any kind and if your powdered sugar is lumpy, I would sift it before adding to the mixture. All and all- a most excellent recipe!
I know that a lot of reviews wrote that this tasted just like the kind they use in the stores. Somehow, though, I thought they meant the kind a bakery would use! That was NOT the case!! In fact it was the kind that a supermarket would use.
You should use this if and only if you like the cakes sold in supermarkets.
It wasn't necessarily that this frosting was bad it was just not what I had hoped for.

I made the chocolate version that someone posted in their review, replaced one cup confectioner's sugar with one cup cocoa and increased milk 1/4 cup. It tastes awesome and the texture is great! I worked at a bakery for 2 years and this is just like the frosting there, I am going to frost a cake tomorrow.
This is a simple but perfect, creamy, easily spreadable frosting that is dependable and just plain good. And it pipes well for decorations too! I just used a tad less sugar than called for, and used half and half rather than milk, which were not major alterations. Great frosting!
This recipe is EASY and it's good. It needs NOTHING else. It makes a light, fluffy frosting that's perfect for icing a cake and for doing the decorations. It doesn't run down the side of the cake, or melt. It isn't sickly sweet. It doesn't taste too heavy. It's easy to work with, using a spatula or an icing sleave. It gets 5 stars from me, and those 5 stars are VERY well earned! This recipe is a keeper. THANK YOU KRIS!
This is amazing. Even Ruth Levy Beranbaum's "The Cake Bible" doesn't contain a frosting that rivals this recipe (I use her book as a guide for my cakes). Kris, you are a saint! I've searched and created many a frosting and this one you posted is the most brilliant. What I love most about this frosting is its versitality. I use butter instead of marg, and I only use 3.5 cups of powdered sugar since my people don't like it too sweet. You can drip in more milk to create a fluffy effect or reduce the milk to make a thicker version.
Thank you, Kris for posting a frosting that is a perfect compliment to cake. You have changed the face of frosting in my household. I was just about to give up on frosting all together.
When made with butter instead of margarine, this recipe gets 5 stars. Wow! The taste and texture are fabulous. And yes, this really does taste like the kind of frosting on bakery cakes. One hint. If you have some, add about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of butter extract. Purists might argue against it, but if you're looking for "bakery" taste, the butter extract will take it a step closer. Also, I found that this recipe worked best with my KitchenAid. I whipped the frosting for about 5 minutes. Without the KitchenAid, I might not have had the patience.
Yesterday I made a birthday cake for my sister and this is by far the best frosting I've tried. I substituted butter instead of margarine,added 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla butter & nut flavorings and added 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice ( add according to taste) to mask the sweetness. And whipped the frosting with my KitchenAid for about 5 to 7 minutes. Perfect for frosting and decorating Cakes. Thanks Kris for this great recipe.

Hi, I am trying to make the following macro for my priest:
Whenever I cast flash heal I want my macro to cast inner focus before the heal. The problem is, when i use:
/cast inner focus
/cast flash heal
then I am unable to cast flash heal when inner focus is on cooldown. Can anyone help me?
Closest you can get is with a modifier (control in this example), normal press uses flash heal, ctrl+press uses inner focus then flash heal.
Code:#showtooltip /cast [mod:ctrl] Inner Focus /cast Flash Heal
No point mentioning these bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.
Hey all! Is it possible to make a @mouseover macro with modifiers in it?
Mouseover click = skill1
Mouseover shift click = skill2
ideally you'd put some more options in there, to cover cases like "I don't have a mouseover" / "SkillX is a healing spell but I'm mouseovering an enemy" and so on.Code:/cast [@mouseover, mod:shift] Skill2; [@mouseover] Skill1
If you specify more exactly what the macro si supposed to do we can help you out.
No point mentioning these bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.
I don't support the automating of actions (e.g. castsequence, cast1 when enemy or cast2 when friend) at all, why should I play the game when the game plays for me? But I won't blame on people who like and use these kind of macros.
This may be a PvE issue, I might be wrong but I've never heard of a PvP player using these kind of macros.
Castsequence is limited enough that it doesn't really come into play most of the time. You can't automate anymore to the level, say, Hunters could in Wrath. One button, nearly optimal rotation made Naxx even more boring.
Last edited by Squirl; 2012-11-23 at 06:50 PM.
xD Another request.
Any chance it's possible for a macro to use Chi Wave on myself, without removing my target or casting it on my target, and when I right click, having it act like normal? (So if I'm targeting someone else and right click, it uses it on them)
Does any 1 know of a macro for a feral druid that will combined thrash an swipe to 1 keybind. In other words with 1 click it cast swipe, an using a mob for shift to cast thrash
Last edited by Retroh; 2012-11-24 at 10:17 PM.
I'm having some problems with my mouseover macros. I'm using the same macro for (example) Soothing Mist and Life Cocoon
Code:#showtooltip Soothing Mist /use [target=mouseover, exists] Soothing MistYet, when ever I try and use Life Cocoon I get an error message saying it's an invalid target or the spell isn't ready yet (when I'm mouse overing a friendly target and it is off CD).Code:#showtooltip Life Cocoon /use [target=mouseover, exists] Life Cocoon
If it matters I'm also having similar problems with some of my "hand" spells on my Paladin.
And I click a LOT faster than I can ever keybind.
Just because you are faster at keybinds does not mean everyone else is.
When I heal, I use Grid + Clique. Works fine. But as said, this is meant for PvP. :P Where I do want it to heal me before it hits an enemy, unless I need it to heal someone else first.
Is it possible to make a macro that casts a spell at your target only if your target is not an arena unit (arena1, 2, 3)

Are we really all the same?
We are all unique.
Which by definition means, we are all different.
Which, in turn, should mean we're all the same.
But we're not, because we're all unique.
Salman Asad
Apr 27 2013: We all are on the same boat
- +3
Apr 30 2013: Very well said, Salman! Put a smile on my face!!Apr 20 2013: I think we are all the same. If we dig deeply within ourselves and ask what are our core needs and filter out the materialistic wants, i think our answers will be the same.
Apr 22 2013: What an insightful thought, Yaqoub.
I believe our ability to filter out what's really important is being compromised by the need to 'fit in', and to 'succeed'. What is important to us as individuals, and what is important to society as a whole? In actuality, it should be the same thing, if you argue we are all indeed the same, then our 'core needs' as you put it should be the same too... So what are those core needs? Health, happiness, a world to live in, love? Doesn't seem like a lot, but materialism has a way of convincing us that what we want, isn't what we really want. What we want is what someone else wants us to want. Craziness!Apr 22 2013: In the end, I think, it's all in our mind. While oneness (similarity) is reassuring, otherness (difference) is unsafe. Our minds swing between the two like a pendulum. At two ends of the swing lie our follies. Follies like communalism (our folk cannot be wrong) and suspicion (not one of us therefore enemy).
Apr 23 2013: Yes, Pabitra, difference scares us. I agree.
In Dutch, there's a saying: 'Wat de boer niet kent, eet hij niet', in other words: what the farmer doesn't know, he won't eat. What we aren't familiar with, we won't touch. It applies to everything, of course. Like a child, who says he doesn't like sprouts because he's never tried them.
If we don't know a musician, we won't listen to his/her music, if we don't know the artist, we won't look at his/her painting...
Fortunately, I am getting the distinct impression those kinds of folks aren't here on TED...!
Scott Bell
Apr 21 2013: We are no more unique than the leaves on a tree. We emerge from the branch which emerges from the trunk which emerges from the root which emerges from the Earth. We live a short while, fall to the ground, and begin the journey again.
- +2
There IS uniqueness in leaves, and in people. But it is Dwarfed by the Oneness that is ultimately so obvious and in front of our face that we Routinely and Habitually overlook it. This misperception of uniqueness is the Original Sin.......we truly believe that we are Separate from one another. We truly believe we are separate from this thing we call Nature. This is Why we are waging a war of Terror on Nature.........War is Always about Control and is grounded in the misperception of the Separateness of others and Our uniqueness. Perceived Specialness divides and ultimately destroys.
We are not living this life. Life is living us.
Apr 22 2013: Love it, thanks Chris!!!Apr 22 2013: Scott, your statement reminds me of a quote in one of Sir Ken Robinson's presentations (Education is Killing Creativity, I believe). He said something to the effect of, if all insects were to be removed from the planet, within 50 years, the earth would die out. If all humans were to be removed form the planet, within 50 years, the earth would flourish.
Knowing how similar we are to each other is also knowing how destructive we can be on such a fragile system.
How can we get people to understand everyone really is interconnected, that we really are fundamentally the same?
I agree, that perceived specialness divides and ultimately destroys... look at celebrities, especially child artists or actors, who are segregated by fame. It also makes me think of a conversation between Dash and his mom in the movie, "The Incredibles":
Helen Parr (telling her son why he's not allowed to do his best): "Right now, honey, the world just wants us to fit in."
Helen Parr (to her son): "Everyone's special, Dash."
Dash: "Which is another way of saying no one is."
Pretty profound for a Disney movie...!
Scott Bell
Apr 27 2013: Good morning....
- +2
Your Question:
"How can we get people to understand everyone really is interconnected, that we really are fundamentally the same?"
My Answer:
WE cannot transform others. Believing that we can reinforces our Original Misperception of Separateness. That there is an "I" that can "do" something to fundamentally change another.... This is a False Belief. :-)
We can only transform our perceived Selves through Self-Inquiry. "Afterwards" the question of How to Cause a Perceptual Transformation in Others becomes irrelevant and ceases to be a concern. Though, others will be transformed in "your" presence.....Without Effort.Apr 20 2013: Hello again Lizanne:>)
I believe we are more the same than different. In my perception, we are all interconnected, we all share the earth, and we all share many of the same thoughts, feelings and emotions.
We are different because we are born into different cultures, with different backgrounds, and that, to me, is the gift we can share with each other. Even though THAT is a difference, we are the same, because we all have the opportunity to share what is different!!!
Apr 22 2013: Hi Colleen! Good to see you again! :)
Hear, hear!
Yes, our backgrounds provide a wealth of experience to share. We all know how it feels to meet someone who has a similar background. To have 'things in common' is reassuring, it means there are certain things you don't need to explain. I think, when you need to explain or justify where you come from, that's when your background becomes 'baggage' (a terrible term!)
I read about your out-of-body experience and have a feeling you might know more about this feeling of being interconnected than anyone! I look forward to sharing more thoughts and ideas with you!
Apr 22 2013: Hi Lizanne:>)
Yes, if we are aware, we know how good it feels to meet someone who is similar in some ways:>)
Do you think/feel that the circumstances under which we are explaining may make a difference? If we are explaining something to a person who genuinely wants to learn about us, it feels good to me, and it provides an opportunity to share information for both participants.
Whereas, if we are explaining for the purpose of justifying, or proving ourselves to be "right", that doesn't feel so good to me, and I do not participate in those conversations.
Is it all "baggage" in your perception? Or is it the intent that is the "baggage"?
Apr 23 2013: Hi Colleen! Hey, did you get a haircut?? ;)
Absolutely! As soon as you feel the need to justify yourself, I agree, something isn't right...
But I feel it's something people often encounter, maybe because of the human desire to 'fit in'?
I have the feeling often that I don't fit in, maybe because I am a 'third culture kid' (otherwise known as 'terminally unique syndrome'!!), my background is more often than not so very different from those I interact with on a daily basis, I also do not participate in conversations that make me feel like I need to justify where I'm coming from. At the same time, I certainly don't try to force my views, formed by the unique circumstances in which I was brought up, on others. It comes down to respect.
To me, nothing is baggage. Baggage implies a burden, something you have to carry around. Everything you have gone through is what makes you who you are, is what distinguishes you from someone else, is the combination of ingredients that make you you.
I like to think we are cocktails of all different flavors, mixed up, stirred or shaken, and meant to be enjoyed!May 1 2013: Hi Lizanne,
I agree...nothing is baggage, unless we choose to carry it as such, and everything we have experienced makes us who and what we are.
You wrote in a previous comment...
"I think, when you need to explain or justify where you come from, that's when your background becomes 'baggage' (a terrible term!)"
My belief and practice, is that we can grow and evolve with the information learned from our experiences, OR, we can carry it as a burden (baggage) throughout the life adventure, which, in my perception makes it either a burden, or an opportunity......as we choose:>)
Yes indeed...."we are cocktails of all different flavors, mixed up, stirred or shaken, and meant to be enjoyed!"Apr 22 2013: Hi Colleen! That's a sweet smile my friend. I see your new haircut!! :)
Apr 23 2013: Thanks Pabitra,
We are the same in that we have the ability to share smiles.
We may be different, because some folks do not yet know how valuable smiling is to ourselves and others:>)
BTW...hair is not cut....it is getting really long and hiding in the back of the head:>)
Apr 23 2013: I didn't know till a couple of years ago. These days when I power walk in the morning and smile at people, I can feel what a wonderful gift it is. :)
I got stumped about your hair. Sumana said that would be a great grey braid :D and led me to Auguste Renoir!!
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b3/Renoir_La_Natte.jpgApr 23 2013: Oops - ignore my comment about thinking you got a haircut too, Colleen!! Should've read further!Apr 23 2013: Smiles are indeed a gift to all of us Pabitra....glad you discovered that:>)
LOL...Yes, I have a "great grey braid". And here we go again with the same/different concept.
The braiding is the same as in the portrait you provide the link for. The hair color and other characteristics are a wee bit different!!! LOL:>)
Apr 23 2013: :)Apr 20 2013: We are all spiritual beings, experiencing life on earth. Our bodies has almost the same response to our physical environment. No one would be in the Arctic of the Northern Hemisphere and say (barechested) 'Yay! It's freaking hot here'; hardly anyone lives in the clouds. Only a few people would see a bereaved person and say 'Dude, why are you crying? Get us some beer here and lets partei! (party)'.
That is why Hollywood earns billions from the movies; we can relate; we can empathize, we can symphathize. And we've got different ways of saying the same thing.
It is true, "We are one, but not the same"
Apr 22 2013: I really like the way you put this, Feyisayo!
You said, "Our bodies has almost the same response to our physical environment." I loved your example that someone in the Arctic wouldn't say, it's hot! Wonderful.
But then I thought of something:
I live in Holland, which as a maritime climate which is pretty mild all year round. We do have the ocassional 'harsh' winter with temps that reach -10, and can get temperatures up to around 30 degrees in the summer.
I have friends from Indonesia and Africa who I will see wearing a winter coat in the summer! I have other friends from Ireland or Scandinavia who put their shorts on as soon as the temperature breaks 10 degrees...
So even the way our bodies react to external conditions differs... but is that a physical thing, a genetic thing, a mental thing?
Apr 22 2013: You spoke about friends in Scandanavia and Ireland; friends in Africa and Indonesia. That is locational specificity, and the people there have similar response to the climate.
If you were there you would acclimatize.
Even though no one (except the insane) would complain about high temperatures in the Arctic, or shiver under the baking-hot sun of the Sahara desert.
Apr 23 2013: True, I totally understand what you were getting at.
I am often too warm, regardless of the temperature. I blame my Irish and Polish genes when I find myself sweating through even the thinnest t-shirt in the summer!
I guess by my comment, I was wondering if it's possible for people to take their native climates with them wherever they go... What do you think?May 2 2013: I just finished reading "War with the Newts" by Karel Capek ... He has a very interesting take on the question of humans' obsession with distinction ...
May 3 2013: I'm intrigued, Michael! Can you share it with us?May 2 2013: Ahh, yes, it is easy to get discouraged when the world around us shows littie signs of progress, but I am an optimist, and it might be just a matter of time.
Our human nature is wonderfully two-fold: we are rational, and we are irrational, we have good within, and we have evil within, we need to be selfish to survive, and we need to be social and altruistic to survive. And both sides of this apparently irreconciliable nature have (at least some) basis in our dna and the way dna shapes our brains
The reason for my optimism is that culture and knowledge spreads and changes at a much faster rate than dna mutations. Once we understand better these apparent "halves" in us, we can change our behavior in a better direction (i call better direction one that minimizes overall suffering across a large group of individuals)
this understanding will arrive thousands of years before our dna changes our nature in a significant way
Of course, a faster solution was imagined by Carl Sagan: if one day an alien species decides to visit planet earth, we will realize, very quickly, how pitifully small are our "so important" differences
May 3 2013: Andres, what a joy to read this.
All one needs to do is gaze at stars to realize the insignificance of our petty problems.
I share your optimism!Apr 22 2013: We are extremely unique as everything in the universe is. From all the possible forms molecules could have taken, they took the one that is you. I think this is amazing. And we're not the same -we're equal, though. We all have the same original nature, but it has been altered by our experiences.

Apr 22 2013: Chris, you hit a soft spot with me, I adore Joni Mitchell and as a lyricist myself, am in awe of her lyrical abilities!
Wow, that was when music was about so much more than going out and having a good time. That was when people used music to communicate a message worth listening to.
Music is what we were genetically designed to make, all of us. It's one of the unique similarities we share, but too often deny... sadly enough!
Thank you so much for sharing this!Apr 20 2013: 'Under the same sky, waiting for each other, under the same sky , trying to survive, searching for the heart, that will understand us, for a moment to know, that we are one soul' - as Lara Fabian says.
I think, right, we are all one. Even if every country has its own traditions and culture is not the same, we have the same feelings, we can understand each other without any words. Also, we live the same life mostly. We go to school, have fun with our friends, visit our relatives, go to the colledge or university, then we go to work...
Apr 22 2013: Hi Kamila!
That's quite an inspirational quote.
Thank you for bringing up the concept of understanding each other without words! We 'know' so much about each other without saying anything, we feel each other's vibrations, purely because we can relate as humans on so many levels!Apr 20 2013: We all are different from DNA no one shares same blood, DNA cause we all have different tastes, foods, moods etc etc but our minds are so narrow that we believe in everything we see everything we told i think is the reason our world is at this stage wars, economic crisis, pollution, etc etc i will leave this with a beautiful quote "To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world."
Thank you
Apr 22 2013: Thank you, Junaid!
I agree, no one shares the same blood - and even if we do, we are fundamentally different from one another.
We're the product of so many factors - our upbringing, our genetic make-up, our environment... this in turn is what makes us more or less susceptible to negativity of the world around us. Not everyone knows how to think outside the box...
I love the quote you shared - whose it is?
Apr 22 2013: You're welcome,
I don't know about the quote
you know if we want to save our planet we have to be polite, and patience, i think 99% of people wants to live peacefully, in a healthy and better environment but those 1% of people are somehow always ahead in destroying.
Apr 23 2013: I agree, it always seems to be a much smaller percentage who take advantage, manipulate and corrupt, and unfortunately, those types are often the ones who somehow end up with the power to make decisions that affect us all... !Apr 20 2013: We are similarly different and uniquely common.
Apr 22 2013: Pabitra, this is now my new mantra!
Apr 22 2013: :) Namaste!!
Fritzie -
Apr 19 2013: This feature isn't unique to people. There are features dogs have in common that makes it appropriate to label them dogs, but they have many differences as well in appearance, intelligence, temperament, food tastes, and health risks.
- +1
There are attributes trees share that makes it appropriate to call them trees, but there are different types of trees with different characteristics and no two trees are identical.
I don't think it is a paradox that two items one might compare have attributes in common as well as attributes that differ.
Apr 22 2013: Hi again, Fritzie!
Thanks for your thoughts - I'm curious... What are your thoughts on a human clone?
Apr 22 2013: Identical twins still have common features and differences, staying with your theme.May 3 2013: Hi Lizzie,
Im actually happy for you that you are actively involved in the upbringing of your children. May they grow up to be whatever that is in store for them. May you and your kids have a bright future
May 3 2013: Why, thank you Salman! A person wouldn't possibly wish for more. :)May 2 2013: Hi Liz, hi to all of you!
Here is what i believe..We are same organisms , same DNA , same species.. Some they have different colour (Africa, China), are they different? No, even those have the same DNA , they just have been influenced by the environmentall climates.
One thing we all have different OUR MIND that defines our choices , our feelings, our character , our respondings in a variety of circumsatances...
May 2 2013: Thanks for your thoughts, Thetisd!
Yes. This sums it up for me too!
What makes us unique is indeed how we respond to the countless factors around us, most of which are beyond our control (like what you said about climate).
Joshua Prager said it so well in his TED presentation, "Search for the Man who Broke My Neck":
http://www.ted.com/talks/joshua_prager_in_search_for_the_man_who_broke_my_neck.htmlMay 2 2013: Hi Lizanne
I think that whether we appear unique or different depends on the piece of the picture we decide to focus on at a particular point in time.
As humans, it is a fact that we share many traits, thanks to our shared DNA. Same number of limbs, same basic chemical reactions down to the cellular level. We even have a subconscious that performs quite predictably across the species (think optical illusions, for example)
But then again, just like legos, we come in all sizes, shapes and colors. And even for identical twins, behavior can be completely different in response to the exact same stimulus
I think that in similarity lies our deep interconnection, and in variety lies beauty
You reminded me of a similar (a bit Orwellian) word play: we are all equal, some are just more "equal" than others
Thanks for an interesting question
May 2 2013: Hi Andres,
Yes, a great quote... which reminds me in turn of a TED presentation I recently saw, Cameron Russel's "Looks Aren't Everything, Believe Me, I'm a Model":
It's a tricky thing - being the same, and being equal...
Our world has a long way to go when it comes to equality, despite the fact that, like you say, we are interconnected on a deep level.
Will we ever get it...?May 1 2013: Hi Lizzie,
Generally speaking, people want the same things in life. All humans have the same basic physical, spiritual and emotional needs. So in the general sense, yes we all are the same.
But specifying the qualities of a single human being over other human beings should bring up differences. I think these specific qualities are again, different approaches to satisfying the same basic human needs.
The question that really matters is that, are we all special in our uniqueness. Speciality defining how well we have satisfied our basic human needs.
May 2 2013: Hi Salman!
I want to answer your question "are we all special in our uniqueness" with another question, namely:
Has everyone taken the time and/or energy to discover their own uniqueness?
Or, has everyone been give the opportunity (as children) to explore themselves in order to find their own 'special uniqueness'?
I know plenty of folks who are content in their lives without any 'special uniqueness' they are aware of. Being a creative spirit to the extremes, I used to feel sympathy for those who didn't have some kind of talent or something that set them apart from the rest. I discovered when I got to know some of these people, that being unique is something they never even desired, let alone strive for.
May 2 2013: Hi Lizzie,
Self discovery is a life long process. So understanding and realizing your own uniqueness takes time.
As far as i have observed life and people, only new experiences, adversities and the harsh realities of life really lead people to discover their respective uniqueness. But ultimate uniqueness does not exist in human beings. People who have never faced hardships can never truly realize their uniqueness. People who experience new things in life are closer to self discovery than those who are just living a boring, stale life. As adults, we can do the above mentioned things, but as children the only thing required is to have a healthy and active imagination. (Even adults should ignite their respective imaginations)
The worst thing parents and teachers do is stunting the imagination in children by telling them what they should and what they should not imagine. We do this because we think inherently that we know everything about what is good for them and what is right for them. In truth, we do not know everything. Children should be given ample space to question established laws and rules in a positive manner. Only then can children can grow into self realizing individuals.
Imagine the stages a new born baby passes through until it becomes a toddler and then goes on to becoming an inquisitive child questioning everything. We should always answer them positively in a manner which stimulates their imagination.
May 3 2013: Hi Salman!
As a Mom of two, your comment really hit home with me...
One of your comments made me think: "...as children the only thing required is to have a healthy and active imagination."
Absolutely, an imagination is vital to survival*, but recently I have noticed something even more important going on with my own kids. Empathy.
My kids are just starting to get the concept of empathy, but to get it, they have to know what it is to feel pain, or excitement, or frustration, in order to recognize it in someone else. I have to let my kids feel the entire range of emotions, even when it breaks my heart, to teach them how to recognize those emotions in someone else. I believe this is key to self-respect, communication and expression.
* there's a conversation on the topic of pretending and imagination going on right now: http://www.ted.com/conversations/18006/playing_pretend_and_make_belie.htmlMay 1 2013: Life is strange. Sometimes I feel my blood, and I wonder what makes it my blood, it seems kind of like generic blood, like it could be anybody else's blood. The Rolling Stones had a blood change, where maybe all the blood was taken out of their body and changed with others' blood, and yet they still remained the Rolling Stones.
May 2 2013: Hi Greg,
what an awesome concept - the Stones had a communal blood transplant?? Coincidentally, I was listening to a so-called Stones expert on the radio who was discussing whether or not the Stones rocked as good as they used to... Perhaps is was in their blood?!
I often hear people say, when my kids sing and make music, that it's in their blood. I don't necessarily nod in agreement, because they have constant access to instruments and we sing and make music every day. But I don't necessarily disagree either...
My dad is an industrial designer and we always laughed at our own private joke, that I had 'designer genes'. Pun intended.

May 1 2013: We all have the same biological needs such as clean air, clean water, nutritious food, clothes and shelter as well as social needs that stimulate our brain to function properly.

We do however develop and grow different values, interests and actions based on our upbringing and environment. But is this to say that we are all unique? Everybody can learn the same thing and come up with the same ideas if they have been subject to the same information and stimulus as anybody else.
We are perhaps unique in a physical sense, looking different from each other. But in terms of values, interests and actions, uniqueness is based upon how many different types of upbringing and environments people are brought up in.
May 2 2013: Hi Mats,
thank you for bringing up the concept of values!
I work a lot with children, and often see examples of what you suggest, that "Everybody can learn the same thing and come up with the same ideas if they have been subject to the same information and stimulus as anybody else." When we do a music/singing workshop and do a song about living in a forest, you wouldn't believe how many kids pretend to be a tree falling down, thinking they were the very first ones to come up with the idea.
We are a compilation of circumstances, I agree, and everyone's set of circumstances is different.
May 1 2013: Hi Lizanne, I collect quotes. Quotes, to me, are therapeutic. You get alot of bang for your buck! So here's a quote for you. Enjoy:
- 0
"You were born an original, don't die a copy."
May 2 2013: LOVE that quote, Mary.
I say something similar to my voice students, who all want to sound like the latest, most popular singer, regardless of whether or not their voice sounds anything like theirs!!
I like this one too:
"The minute you start swimming with the stream is the minute when you get lost in the crowd."Apr 30 2013: We are human beings with the freewill to go the extreme, become angels or devils.
Which do we want to experience to eternity??
May 1 2013: Interesting question, Adriaan...
I have gone through periods where I was 'devlish', I learned how to become more of an 'angel'... I don't know if I could 'be' one without the other.
Dark and light, positive and negative, angels and devils... would you agree we all have both sides?
May 1 2013: Hi Liz, totally agree. In fact I believe that is what life is all about, choices. It is making choices (and thus what we choose) which shapes our character.
Our character is determined by what we love, our priorities. As the saying goes: "We are what we love."
So all that put together, I very much believe we can all become (like) angels now. One of our daughters already is one, I'm pretty sure :)
The advantage can be that even if we go through a difficult time, we can stay focused on the thought that this temporary hardship can make me a better and stronger person.
May 2 2013: Couldn't agree more, Adriaan!Apr 24 2013: hiApr 23 2013: We are the intelligence of the land. The vicissitudes of similitude and difference stem from our shared purpose: To direct the growth of our worlds. Aptitudes reflect the Mother's diversity, and drive the Father's oneness. The same in our difference, similarly different being human is a stop gap between something infinitely dense and unimaginably sublime. Are all the other chrysalises the same?
Apr 23 2013: Hi Stacey!
I really like how you suggest our aptitude is something feminine, while our drive is masculine. The positive and negative forces combined together, which we all posses.
Do you mean, by "Are all the other chrysalises the same", that we perhaps choose the same 'safe havens'? That trying to find a solitary spot for ourselves is virtually impossible?Apr 22 2013: With all due respect I can only agree partly. Even the villains handle themselves. I believe that the key is a degree of split personify: relating to ourselves through others. Have you ever listened to your own recoded voice? Within ourselves we sound very different to what we sound like without, how we sound to the others. Tolerance has become almost a swear word - though it is much too long for a four letter word - but to me the key is still tolerance. We are beings who cannot live without judgement, essential reflex for survival, but we must learn to keep them to ourselves. I have spent more than half my life outside my native country. Being the outsider is certainly not alien to me, yet within myself I feel at home, in a messy home ... But nonetheless at home. Allow people to think what they want but also to understand that their own reflection in the other person's eye is beyond their control. "vive la difference," say the French.
Apr 30 2013: How interesting, Michael, that you and I are both "Third Culture Kids"! I have also spent more than half my life in a country other than where I was born, and agree wholeheartedly with you that we relate to ourselves through others.
Growing up and living in a culture other than 'my own' and yet having so many fundamental similarities with its people gives me a feeling of security, that wherever I end up on this earth, i will be fine.
And yet, being different, or my preferred TCK term "terminally unique", is also my fate, albeit purely by definition, my being a 'foreigner'.
There I go again, we're all the same because we're all not the same...Apr 21 2013: .
"We are really all the same" by DNA composition.
"We are really all unique" by human's ultra-high accuracy.Apr 21 2013: All the same, all different.... One thing is certain... We all share the same planet. .... Unless some alien is reading this and taking the idea of TED to a different planet... Who are we? We is inclusive... So when I read we in this context, I assume that the author refers to humans... Whether someone believes in evolution or is stuck in creation, we meet here because we share some characteristics that include us in this group. So it also sets "us" apart from other animals... Unfortunately WE humans concentrate perhaps a little too much on the speculations about who we are rather then how we can survive as the collective.... The species. 7 billion of us? Perhaps as resources become rarer and the fighting for access becomes fiercer we will again intensify the differentiation between the good we and the bad others. ....
Apr 22 2013: Hi Michael, welcome to this engaging conversation and thank you for your 'two cents'!
You said, "we concentrate perhaps a little too much on the speculations about who we are rather than how we can survive as the collective".
You are so right. We spend so much time focused on ourselves, on who we are, where we come from, we are faced inward, when what we should really be doing is focusing on each other.
I try to teach my kids to respect themselves, express themselves and communicate their feelings, good or bad, in the hopes that this will 'arm' them with the tools to respect and communicate with others.
Would you agree, that once we have a handle on ourselves, we can turn outward and concentrate on each other. If we aren't given the tools as children to survive, how can we be expected to survive as a collective?Apr 20 2013: Personalty typing is really sort of interesting. Some people are more alike than others.Apr 20 2013: We are all One.
Mathematically it's one without the second. And we are different within our oneness ;
each of us is the unique One without the second.Apr 20 2013: I donnot understand the explanation of your title .
What the " same " you point?
For individual mind , everyday we receive many thing but we cannot prove all of them whether true or false , proper or impolite . So we choose to" trust " part of them . Like The string theory. Even though they are not original . But we also have our own values , principle . And out of moral or because we are modestly ,we would to select others suggestions.
But all of these basic on your "make the choose " to follow the tules . And the extent of "follow " from different people is distinct .
So on mind we are different .
For appearance , absolutely we are , there is not a pair of same gene from different body .
I just occur to the both perspectives .
I will try to find more .Apr 20 2013: .
"We are really all the same" by most DNA composition.
"We are all unique" by human ultra-high accuracy.
Apr 22 2013: It is a fascinating thing, W. Ying, if our DNA is pretty much identical, what makes one person a poet and another an accountant?
I've never heard the term "human ultra-high accuracy" - could you tell me more about it?
Apr 23 2013: .
On "human's ultra-high accuracy" :
(1) Human can differentiate any one from 7 billion people in the world.
(2) It makes "one person a poet and another an accountant" .
Apr 23 2013: Aha! I get it!!! Makes perfect sense to me!

Apr 22 2013: Exactly, Kate!
I often joke to my husband, I wish I had a clone of myself to sing along with me at gigs... I would know exactly what to sing, when to sing it, which harmonies to use... but you're right, how dull would that be? Predictability = boredom.Apr 19 2013: Hi Lizanne,
It is an interesting and vogue topic. I assume that we are talking about man and woman. What I would do is to differentiate fields in which we are and we are not the same. For example, there are differences in fields of biology, anthropology, psychology; and I think we are the same in the field of sociology, and some others which do not come into my mind right now :)
What do you think?
Apr 19 2013: Hi Jose,
How interesting that you immediately assumed I meant men and women! Admittedly, my statement was ambiguous, but I was actually referring to all people, regardless of gender.
I am a creative spirit, and am passionate about raising my children to be solid, respectful humans capable of communication and expression. They are now at the point where they are looking outwards, and are discovering the differences in those around them, and those differences are magnified by 1000 it seems! I feel humans are all fundamentally different as a result of so many factors (upbringing, environment, genetics, etc.) but don't we all have more or less the same ingredients?
Apr 20 2013: Hi Lizanne,
I assume men and women because the statement starts with "we" and I thought that involved individuals of the same species.
On the other hand, do not worry about expectations of raising your children as you said, they will be different because of environments, personal experiences, and many other contexts. They may have a common cultural background and family education, however, every person is capable to re-think on their ideas and make difference, therefore, I can say that it is imposible that two people think in the same way, they may agree on something which is quite different.Apr 19 2013: Do you mean we're all the same because we're all different? This sounds like a riddle!
We're all human, but our varying experiences, our variances in DNA/abilities/likes and dislikes make us entirely different. I think we do, however, as a species have similiar hopes and wants/needs. We are unique whether we like it or not, there are no two people who are the same.
Apr 19 2013: Hi Kendl!
Yes, it actually is a riddle!
I find myself correcting my kids a lot. I hear myself saying, "No, that person is not 'weird' because they don't look like you". I search for meaning and expression beneath the surface of people, which is always there! i guess, I feel our uniqueness as people is what binds us.

Retractable leads—those long leashes that extend to allow your dog to roam freely—are great for trips to a wide open space like a park. They let your dog sniff and explore more freely. But if you've got one that you use on daily walks in the city or on a busy path, it might be time to ditch it. Here's why.
1. The leash can get caught on you, your dog, a cyclist or jogger and cause tripping, rope burn, cuts and even strangulation.
2. You might have the best-behaved dog in the world, but what about that other dog down the block? When you use a retractable leash, you're opening your dog up to all sorts of dangers, including those posed by less-friendly dogs, bikes and cars. You may not be able to hit the brakes in time.
3. Retractable leashes allow your dog to approach other dogs uninvited, and that's just downright inconsiderate. Other pet parents may not want their dogs to greet your dogs for a variety of reasons, including your own dog's health and safety.
4. Perhaps worst of all, should you drop the leash in an already-busy area, its sudden retraction and the noise the handle makes when dragging on pavement can terrify even the most even-keeled dogs. That means your dog is much more likely to bolt.
We get why people are attracted to retractable leads, but for these reasons and more, we're sticking with our dog's good old six-foot leash when we're on busy streets. For your pet's safety, we hope you will, too.

Cowboy Jack Clement, 82, thought for a moment about what it might take to gain membership into country music's most elite club, the Country Music Hall of Fame.
"Trying to do something that hasn't been done before is good," Clement said.
Indeed, and he did.
This morning at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, Hall of Famer Bill Anderson announced Clement, maverick recording artist Bobby Bare and cross-over superstar Kenny Rogers as the Hall's newest members. The three men's official induction will come later this year.
"A lot of things happened to me when I was in the fast lane that I took for granted and didn't take the time to savor," said Rogers, 74, who scored his first hit with 1969's "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town," and who notched 21 No. 1 country songs and more than 50 million albums sold. "If this award had come at a time like that, I might have just said, 'I've got the credentials, I deserve this' and let it go. But this comes at a time when I can really stop and enjoy what this means."
Rogers, Bare and Clement's credentials are varied and unassailable.
Elected by Country Music Association voters in the "modern era" category, Rogers was a gravel-voiced commercial kingpin whose popularity spread beyond country and into pop and cinema environs. His hits include "The Gambler," "Coward Of The County," "Daytime Friends" and "Lucille."
Elected in the "veteran" category, the 78-year-old Bare's eclectic and varied way of delivering songs made him an enduring favorite who championed ace songwriters Shel Silverstein, Kris Kristofferson, Tom T. Hall and Billy Joe Shaver and who kick-started country music's "Outlaw Movement" of the 1970s with his self-produced 1973 album "Bobby Bare Sings Lullabys, Legends and Lies."
Clement was elected as a "non-performer," though he's spent decades as a performing and recording artist. He produced brilliant works for Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Charley Pride and many more; he published songs including "She Thinks I Still Care"; he brought Pride to popular attention and desegregated country music in the process; he convinced Kristofferson to move to Nashville in the 1960s; he schooled studio proteges including Garth Fundis, Allen Reynolds and Jim Rooney; he arranged Cash's "Ring of Fire"; he opened the first professional-grade home recording studio in Nashville; and he earned a reputation as a grinning sage of Music City.
"I appreciate those folks that elected me into it," Clement said. "Hope they don't throw me out."
