Moving With Your Dog
We have exciting news here in our home for us and for Whirly Dog Supplies. We have found a beautiful home just outside of the big city of Portland Oregon. It is secluded in the beautiful Columbia Gorge and has 1200 square feet on the main floor and another level (also, 1200 square feet) that will make for a great studio, to bring our customers new and exciting products. We made an offer on the house and it was accepted and now we are going through the whole home buying process. We are getting close to beginning the transition to our new home, of course nothing is guaranteed, and we are hoping all goes well. One of our main concerns in moving is the transition for Whirly, our little rescue dog. We want to make this a smooth and easy transition for him, with the least amount of stress because he his life has been full of pain and uncertainty.
Whirly has been through a rough life. He was used as a breeding dog at a puppy mill for the first 9 years of his life, then he became neglected and malnourished and with the abuse, the Oregon Humane Society had to come and take him along with dozens of other dogs from the owner/operator of the puppy mill. When he was rescued by the Humane Society, he was adopted but only kept for a few months by the family and brought back to the shelter. The moment I saw him in the animal shelter, I fell in love with him, and he has been with us the past three years. He is finally settled and is comfortable (for the most part) in his home. Living in the city, there are many distractions, noises, and things that stress Whirly - The new home is in a rural area that will allow him to relax and enjoy life without the "hustle and bustle" of the big city. We are taking measures to insure a smooth transition to his new environment. Below I have listed the three main moving events and explained, what I feel, is the best way to transition your dog to a new home. I am not an expert on animal behavior nor do I claim to be, but I am giving you advice from what I have learned with other pets and what worked for me, in the past. I hope it helps.
Packing and Preparing to Move
If possible, try to prepare and pack over a long period of time (at least a few weeks to a month). Many dogs are easily stressed or upset when new things come into their home or environment, such as lots of big boxes. It is an easier transition for the pet to slowly bring boxes in a few at a time. If you have the luxury of time on your side, only pack a few boxes per day. Be as organized as possible, have boxes labeled and sitting in a location that is out of the way and not drastically changing the landscape of the rooms in your home. Finally, don't change your dog's routines... keep the same walking, cuddle, and feeding times. It's so important to stay focused and not make drastic moves all at once. Not only is it easier on the dog, but it's less stressful for you as well!
Moving Day
The most important thing to remember, is you are going to be BUSY trying to organize, keep track of people and things. This is one of the biggest days of you, your family, and your pet's lives! Make it as easy as possible. The best thing I have found is to have a family member or trusted friend pet-sit your dog on the day of the move, which may be difficult if you are using everyone to help you. If you can't leave your pet with someone on this big day, I would suggest keeping them in a familiar room while people are moving boxes and furniture in and out. For your and your pet's safety, it's best not to have them "under foot". My dogs have always had their own bed in with me in my bedroom, so when I am moving, I leave them in the bedroom with their bed, a couple toys, and their favorite snuggle blanket or object of affection. Keep your pet comfortable, and out of harms way.
Settling into Your New Home
Getting used to your new home is always an adjustment for your pet, and YOU as well! The most important thing to remember is to Go Slow... transition your dog into the new home. Before you bring your pet to your new home, check out the interior, exterior, and the property/land the house sits on. Make sure there are no hazards for you or your pets - look for things that could harm or stress you or your dog, such as poisons, chemicals, or objects that could cause injury. Once the home is safe, introduce your pet to a small area of the home and then slowly allow them access to the rest of the house. For example, close all the doors to spare rooms, basements, bedrooms, laundry rooms, etc. and over the next couple of weeks, let your dog have access to each area of the house. Many of you out there might have cats... I have found letting them have access to only ONE room at a time is best, starting with where their litter box and food are located, then slowly allowing them access to the rest of the home. The same holds true with dog owners, however with dogs you may have to be letting outside to go to the bathroom. When you let them outside, keep them leashed, not only will it allow them to explore the new yard or grounds at a controlled and slower pace, it also allows you to do the same - many things can cause disruptions to the move in the outside environment such as; holes under fences, possible chemical or hazards in the new yard, and possibly even other wildlife like raccoons, birds, wild/untamed animals, as well as other neighboring cats and dogs that are not leashed or contained. It's so important to supervise your pet in the beginning, it just makes everyone's life easier and less stressful.
Enjoy life... and I hope these tips and ideas help you and your dog or any pet have a smooth transition to your new home.
We'd love to hear your experiences, please comment below and share your stories.

Another Pitbull Attack - Debate
I was reading a story about another Pitbull attack and the debate it caused over who was at fault, the 4 year old child or the dog.
It's a story about a Pitbull who was chained up and neglected, named Mickey, in South Phoenix AZ that mauled a child who took the dog's bone away from him.
Here is my thoughts, right or wrong (and I am sticking to my opinion for every dog attack on children):
Parents / Babysitter of the child and the parents of the dog are All at fault.
I think the majority of the fault lies with the child's parents and or the babysitter at the time - what the "H" "E" double tooth picks, are you doing not paying attention to the child? The little guy is only 4 years old! WAKE UP - there are 4.5 MILLION reports of dog bites per year in the United States. I get so sick of hearing all these people wining and complaining about "oh my poor baby boy/girl..." - no, you dumb a$$, if you love your kid, or you are a responsible adult (speaking to the babysitter at the time), you don't take your eye off of kid for a single second, EVER, until they are 18 years old. The 4 year old child needs to be taken away from you and You should be neutered! You are idiots and shouldn't be caring for a child if you can't take care of them. (human's are the only animals in the world that care more about themselves then they do their own babies, a dog would never let it's puppy stray away and get in harm's way!)
Dog's Parents - I hope the judge puts a chain around your neck and sticks you outside in the hot sun, cold rain, freezing snow, and then teases you with all the wonders of the world going by, while you are not paid any attention to, or thrown a bone once in a while. Then when you get violent and aggressive, I hope they throw you into a cage and threaten you with the death sentence.
I'm sorry, but I am so sick of all the STUPID PEOPLE in the world!!! Some people shouldn't be parents and some shouldn't be dog owners!
Much love to the dog, and Whirly Dog Supplies is wishing the best and hoping for a happy and LOVING forever home for poor little Mickey, the pitbull!
My message to the dog... "remember, there is someone out there that will love you, there is someone that won't neglect you or stick you on a chain leaving you alone for long periods of the day/night. There Is someone that will want You to spend every minute of the day with them, someone that will make you part of their family, someone that will love you just as you love them!"

For The Love of a Senior Rescue Dog
My partner adopted an adorable little senior Maltese dog named Whirly from the Oregon Humane Society in March 2011, after I became disabled. I had developed many physical problems due to health issues, causing me to be home-bound most of the time. Whirly was to soon become my best friend and keep me company while at home. This sweet little dog would not only provide me with companionship, but he brought joy and love into my life, that in turn inspired me to design and create dog apparel and pet clothes. I now have a dog clothing business online selling dog clothing as well as other dog toys and supplies at Whirly Dog Supplies - www.whirlydogsupplies.com .
[caption id="attachment_253" align="alignleft" width="300"] Oregon Humane Society's Adoption photo of Whirly
March 2011[/caption]
Whirly was rescued from a person on the Oregon Coast along with dozens of other dogs, Maltese and King Charles Spaniels. The dogs where originally used as breeding dogs in a puppy-mill and then became pets, sadly the owner couldn't care properly for them. After Whirly's rescue, the shelter had to shave his matted and stained hair, they had to remove all but three teeth that were abscessed, and care for other skin infections, and health issues. We were told that someone had adopted him but brought him back to the shelter after only 3 months. Unfortunately, they couldn't care for him due to his health issues and all of the work needed for the type of breed. Whirly was so docile and shy, his spirit had been broken. He had never knew true love from a human, he had been neglected and mistreated, and then after being adopted and taken to his potential "forever home" he was returned to the Humane Society just to be locked in a cage again. I believe he had lost all hope of finding someone to love him. One day we saw him online and quickly went down to the shelter to take a look at him. When we saw him in his cage he was shivering and scared, he looked at us as if to say, "please help me". There was another couple there looking at him at the same time, I told my partner to hurry and go tell the front desk that we want to adopt him before the other couple get him. I knew the moment Whirly and I looked at each other, he was the dog for me! It didn't take him long after being in our home to blossom into a wonderful little man. After about a year his little personality started shining through and now 3 years later, he is a loving, playful, and happy little part of our family.
[caption id="attachment_254" align="alignleft" width="262"] 3 Years Later - Whirly Healthy and Happy
Because the shelter had to shave off his hair, Whirly was cold most of the time. Maltese don't have an under-coat, so they get cold very easily and are prone to sunburn. Every time I would take whirly outside for a walk or to go to the bathroom and the temperature was below 50 degrees, he would shiver almost uncontrollably and want to cuddle into me for warmth. I went to various pet stores and purchased a variety of dog clothes; shirts, jackets, wraps, etc. but none of them fit him properly. Whirly was small but the sizes listed for small dogs didn't quite fit and the mediums were way too big, he was between sizes. I also noticed that the dog clothing was made of very low quality fabrics and were difficult to put on and take off. They didn't fit my needs. Whirly was trained to go potty outside, often upon returning from taking him for a short walk I needed to bring him in and take off his clothes quickly. With my disability I needed clothes that were fast and easy to put on and (most importantly) take off. I thought to myself, manufacturers should make pet clothes and dog apparel easy to use as many dogs are companions to people with disabilities and many elderly people own small breed dogs. To solve these issues, I decided to buy a sewing machine and I watched countless hours of YouTube videos, I spent days and months reading and learning to sew, and I became friends with a couple of seamstresses and a sewing teacher at our local fabric store that helped teach me. Being able to make dog clothing, not only helped Whirly out by keeping him warm and happy in comfy but it also gave me something to do while I am at home with a lot of time on my hands.
I studied the design of the pet clothes that I purchased and adjusted them for a better fit. Furthermore, they needed to be easy to use, I chose stretch knit fabrics for easy pull-over dog shirts and dresses and Velcro neck and chest closures for coats and jackets making the dog apparel super easy to put on and take off. Finally, I wanted quality and stylish or fun prints, so I chose great fabrics that everyone loves to create the garments. Furthermore, the great thing about making the dog clothes, was that I was using much better quality fabrics and notions then the clothes in big box stores are made of, as discussed in Dog Shirts, Made the Correct Way.
One day I was taking Whirly out for a short walk and a neighbor noticed the dog hoodie I had made and thought he looked so cute. She suggested I make more of the dog jackets and sell them as a hobby, she said "it is so cute, I am sure they would sell". She sells jewelry on Etsy, TwistedNW, I took her advice and I opened an Etsy Shop as well as an eBay Store. Later, after I started making a few sales, I created Whirly Dog Supplies and opened my own online store at www.whirlydogsupplies.com
I am so grateful to my loving partner for adopting this sweet little dog and to the Oregon Humane Society for rescuing him from a horrible life. He has inspired me and brought so much love to my life. I am truly blessed.

Here at Whirly Dog Supplies, we are always striving to bring our customers the best products at the best value. We keep your pet in mind and design products that are not only stylish but comfortable for your pet to wear. Dog Pajamas have become one of our customer's favorites. Over the past few years we have modified the typical patterns and design to give the best fit for your dog.
When your dog wears our pajamas, they should be comfortable and look great in them. We love to entertain and have friends or family over for a dinner parties or an early morning coffee or tea gatherings. Having your dog nearby wearing a pair of pajamas is so much fun for everyone. Your guests will fall in love with the way your pet looks and your pet will love the attention he or she gets when they cuddle in your lap or next to your feet in our soft and comfy onesies.
Here is what we have learned in re-designing the standard dog pajamas patterns.
|Standard or Store Bought
|Whirly Dog Supplies Pajamas
|Length of legs are too long, when your dog is wearing them they end up pulling their feet out and end up getting tangled up in the garment.
|We have shortened the legs by half. This prevents the dog's feet from slipping through and provides better movement for the dog when walking or going to the bathroom.
|Stretch cuffs are on the neck, ankles, and the underside of the dog pajamas.
|We have eliminated the fabric cuff on the underside of the garment. We found that it pulls down around the tail causing the dog not to want to go to the bathroom and it is uncomfortable for them to walk, run, and play while wearing them.
|Inexpensive, low quality fabrics.
|Whirly Dog Supplies, hand picks 100% cotton flannels, super soft jerseys, and other fabrics that will provide, not only the best look, but also be Super comfortable for your pet to wear.
Your dog's comfort is so important. Having quality dog apparel and pet clothes is the key to your pet's happiness.

Changing Dog Food
We recently had to change our dog food because it was no longer available. The manufacturer stopped making it. Our dog, Whirly, is a 12 year old Maltese and we are concerned with his dietary requirements. I wanted to give you a few tips on how to change food with as few as possible problems.
Things to consider is; type of food you are currently feeding your pet, ingredients, and your pet's needs.
Finally, when you do find the food you want to transition your pet to, do it gradually. To prevent stomach upset or an adverse reaction, gradually add the new food to the old food so your dog can become acclimated easily over several days.
What type of food do you feed your dog?
I highly recommend researching brands, quality, and what ingredients your dog food has and then consider the food you are transitioning to. If you currently feed your dog an inexpensive grocery store brand, think about changing to a more expensive specialty food. You will use less, your dog will feel and look better, and you will have peace of mind that your pet will be getting quality ingredients without fillers or by-products.
What is the age of your dog? Activity level? Any allergies or special diet needs?
Many inexpensive dog foods are filled with by-products, fillers, or poor quality ingredients that can cause health problems for your dog. Even if your dog doesn't have any special requirements, it is still a good idea to go with dog food that has holistic, all natural ingredients. For example: deboned chicken (rather then chicken byproduct), rice or potato flour, wild salmon or fish, fresh fruit and vegetables, etc.
Does your dog have special needs?
Understand that puppies have different dietary needs then adults or seniors. Read the Nutrition Fact Box on the label and choose the proper amount of proteins, fat, and other nutrients needed for your dog.
Your dog is part of the family. Feed them like you would any member of the family you love. Their health and happiness is so important and choosing the right food is vitally important.

Dog Shirts, Made the Correct Way
I have struggled over the past few years, since adopting our little Maltese dog, to get pet clothes and dog apparel that is good quality and fits correctly.
dog t-shirt with a cute fire engine and dalmatian print on jersey knit fabric. (as seen in picture)
I purchased several dog shirts from various "Big Box Stores" such as Walmart, Petco, Petsmart, Target, and a few others. We sat and took them apart and really studied how they were made. Here is what we found:
- Thin, poor quality fabrics.
- Not all seams were properly sewn together.
- The pattern wasn't cut correctly and areas in the seams had been folded over and then sewn together, adding several weak layers of fabric.
- Sizes where smaller then they type of dog they were supposed to fit.
- Fabric was not preshrunk, after washing as suggested by the manufacturer the garment decreased in size significantly.
What does all these mean to you, the pet owner who's looking for a quality dog shirt and spending $10-20 of your hard earned money?
Answer - You will get something that's not going to last and will fall apart after a few washings, or even a few times of your dog wearing the pet clothes.
I spent some time really studying how these dog clothes were manufactured. And I looked at the dog apparel and pet clothing patterns I had, as well as reviewing my own designs. The end result was a re-designed quality dog shirt, that will fit your dog better, uses quality designer fabrics, and are made to last keeping sharp attention to every detail.
Now, when you purchase dog apparel and pet clothes from Whirly Dog Supplies, you can have the confidence that you are buying a product that is of the highest quality, attention to detail makes the workmanship better then the rest, will fit your dog properly, and is designed to last!

My wife is part of a Facebook group of teenage mothers who commiserate and advise each other through the joys and challenges of raising teenagers. Most of these women are not members of the Church.
One day my wife was discussing with me a medical question one of these women had concerning her 17-year-old daughter, who has had frequent sexual encounters already.
While discussing some difficulties her daughter was having with a gynecological exam, the mother made a statement I found to be curious.
Her exact words were these:
"I think the main problem was the fact that she is technically a "virgin" (no penile intercourse) and she completely tensed up."
This woman, who is not LDS, believes that (despite her daughter having had multiple sexual encounters) as long as she has not had penile intercourse, is still a "virgin".
Perhaps in a sense, and even if only according to cultural norms, she is correct. But in a wider sense, an eternal sense, she is very much misinformed. Physical virginity and virtue is not the same thing.
My hope is that we in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints know the difference.
The World is Losing the Concept of the Sacred
The world in general (including the greater Christian world and even some in our own church) are losing the ability to detect the difference between what is sacred and what is profane. This concept is missing from the secular (non-religious) culture almost entirely.
This is why statements such as this – someone being 'technically a virgin' – can even be allowed to enter our language as a cultural norm.
Sex educators, such as Pan Stenzel, would stress that this is even a dangerous idea because it leads to the belief that as long as they are still "technically a virgin", they are not really having sex. This is an idiom that has led to the rampant spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).[i]
The placing of a greater worth of the physical over the spiritual is what leads to this. Sometimes, there is a complete rejection of the existence of the spiritual or the equalization of complete carnal fulfillment as being the "spiritual". Those who chose this path are then lost in a fog of situational morality that continually clouds their judgment.
The link below this paragraph connects to an interview by Matt Lauer for ABC Television. It is with a female middle school teacher who was convicted of having a sexual relationship with her teenage male student.
Although there are mental issues involved on her side, there's also an extreme lack of understanding about morals and virtue in almost everyone involved – including her lawyer and Mr. Lauer. Although the interview is entitled, "Crossing the Line", it seems that where that line is, has become blurry for most people in the world.
A word of warning for those who may be sensitive as this interview is disturbing and gives some graphic sexual descriptions.
These sorts of misunderstandings and disagreements have their roots in a lack of understanding of what sort of behavior is sacred, and what is profane.
Misunderstandings in the Church Culture
Contrast the interview above with this TED talk, given by Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped and raped:
At her young age of 14, when she was abducted, she had been taught the gospel and was doing her best to live it, but when thrown into an extreme circumstance, she showed a lack of understanding as well, one that she has hopefully corrected.
It was the feeling that, once she had been raped, that was it. She was worthless, and not worth saving, because her virginity was gone.
This emphasis of where the value was placed is not correct from a doctrinal perspective.
What's the Difference?
Virginity is a precious gift from our Father in Heaven. Saving our virginity for marriage can help a couple connect more strongly with each other than without it[ii]. Those who do not save it must work harder to focus on each other as exclusive sexual partners.
Virginity, just as other temporal things we put value on, can easily be stolen or end up thrown away and treated as being of no worth, such as in the example of Jacob and Esau.[iii]
But virtue, the greater gift, cannot be stolen, as physical virginity can.
It's ludicrous to say that a person on a stolen recommend who sneaks into the temple of God can steal blessings from the Lord, or steal revelation. Likewise, virtue (no matter how many times you rape a man or woman's body) cannot be stolen.
Sister Elaine S. Dalton said
"Virtue is a prerequisite to entering the Lord's holy temples and to receiving the Spirit's guidance. Virtue "is a pattern of thought and behavior based on high moral standards." It encompasses chastity and moral purity.Virtue begins in the heart and in the mind. It is nurtured in the home. It is the accumulation of thousands of small decisions and actions. Virtue is a word we don't hear often in today's society, but the Latin root word virtus means strength. Virtuous women and men possess a quiet dignity and inner strength.They are confident because they are worthy to receive and be guided by the Holy Ghost. President Monson has counseled: "You be the one to make a stand for right, even if you stand alone. Have the moral courage to be a light for others to follow.There is no friendship more valuable than your own clear conscience, your own moral cleanliness—and what a glorious feeling it is to know that you stand in your appointed place clean and with the confidence that you are worthy to do so."[iv]
Virtue is the strength and the power behind virginity and no physical means can take that power from us. Virtue and faith together can lead to great rewards from heaven.[v]
Only we can choose to value it, or let it go, through our understanding of gospel principles or the lack thereof.
Allow me to say that again. Virtue cannot be stolen, it must be given away to be lost or shared with someone who is worthy to receive it – such as a spouse.
Virtue Easier to Lose, But Brings Greater Blessings
If someone is raped, something precious has been taken that will never be returned – biologically it's just not possible, and there will be physical and mental consequences to be endured and managed it is true. But if their virtue is intact, they're still eternally in good shape – much better shape, in fact, than that of the offender.
However, if we've engaged in consensual sexual encounters of any kind outside of marriage as God has warned us not to do, at any level small or great, 'technical virginity' is irrelevant. In this case, it's our virtue that is gone, which is far more precious and valuable than physical virginity.
We will have to fight hard to get virtue back, and the Atonement will allow us to get it back, but not without much pain and work on our part. When it comes to things spiritual, prevention is always easier and less painful than the cure. The Lord knows how to help us value what is most important, and He will not be mocked.[vi]
I hope each of us will teach our children the value of virtue over virginity through word AND example. Virtue and virginity are both of great value, but the former is far greater for our marriages and our children's future marriages and families.

Honeydew melon & cucumber gazpacho
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Traditionally, gazpacho was made by hand pounding green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs, vinegar, olive oil and seasonings. Stale bread soaked in water is a popular addition, which purists claim to be the 'superior' version. This is the kind that you'd most likely encounter in Andalusia (south of Spain), which also happens to be where this dish originates from. But as is the case with the evolution of food habits, people living in other areas came up with their own intra-regional versions of the gazpacho with the ingredients that they had ready access to, and tweaking it to fit their palates. Some would make them without the bread, while white gazpachos have no tomatoes; they have pine nuts or almonds instead. There are now over hundreds, if not thousands of variations for it!
Don't be fooled into thinking that this is just a glorified smoothie. It does look like it, doesn't it? Sautéed onions and garlic with a kick of chilli form its base, before the fresh melon and cucumbers are added in. I would strongly recommend a dash of fiery Tabasco over the top for that extra pizazz! Summery, velvety, bizarre..all pulverized together to give you this perfect chilled soup. —Kirthana | Theblurrylime
Serves: 4
a honeydew melon, roughly chopped
medium-sized cucumbers (skin left on), roughly chopped
green chilli
mint leaves (plus extra for garnish)
small onion, finely chopped
clove of garlic, finely chopped
cup dry white wine
tablespoon Olive oil
Chilled water
Freshly ground black pepper
- Add olive oil to a small pan and sauté onions and garlic until translucent. Pour white wine and let it bubble away for 3 – 5 minutes on a low heat. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Add the chopped honeydew melon, cucumbers, chilli, mint leaves, salt and pepper, along with the onion mixture in a blender and pulverize until smooth. Thin it out with chilled water to suit your consistency.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Divide into serving bowls and garnish with cucumber slices and mint. Serve chilled.

Manually cleaning the condenser on a regular basis is costly and time consuming but is one of the most important procedures in refrigerator maintenance. To save you money and time, the Turbo Air TST-60SD-24 Super Deluxe Series Mega Top Unit food prep table has a self-cleaning condenser that uses a mesh filter to catch the dust before it reaches the condenser coil fins. The mesh filter is cleaned off by a rotating brush two to three times a day. The rotating brush also moves up and down to remove dust away from the condenser, which effectively prevents dust from gathering to begin with. The system maintains the highest productivity and prevents a premature system failure through the self-cleaning condenser.

Bowyer Says NASCAR Made Example Of Him
By Jeff Hood | Senior Writer
Dover, Del. – Denny Hamlin was socked with a $50,000 secret fine by NASCAR earlier this year for being openly critical of the sanctioning body.
But that seemed to matter little to Clint Bowyer, who showed up at Dover International Speedway Friday morning with a long list of bullet points on why NASCAR erred in hammering his No. 33 team with a huge penalty following his win in New Hampshire on Sunday.
The Kansas native contended that his Shane Wilson-led team went to great lengths to make certain his winning Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet was legal before it left their shop in Welcome, N.C. last week.
After being warned by NASCAR that the No. 33 car was too close to tolerances two weeks ago in Richmond, Bowyer said his team knew in advance his New Hampshire car would be taken by NASCAR to their R&D center in Concord, N.C. for additional inspection.
"We were told by NASCAR they are taking the car after New Hampshire, no matter what," Bowyer said. "Who in their right mind, knowing that they're going to take that car, wouldn't have made triple-sure that the car was right before it went to the race track?
"How can a car pass pre and post-race inspection and three days later get such a huge fine? They took the car complete apart to measure this thing and, in my opinion, that's not the way the car was raced on the race track."
Bowyer claimed on Friday that other competitors are pushing the envelope on tolerances. He believes his No. 33 team was used as the scapegoat to send a message to others in the garage.
"Once the rumors started (on Monday), it wasn't long before the penalty (was issued)," Bowyer said. "I think NASCAR has a lot of problems with a lot of cars on the race track being out of the box and I just think they needed to set an example.
"I don't think the penalty fit the crime. Sixty-thousands of an inch. Less than the thickness of a quarter resulted in a 150 point fine. Ask yourself if that was a performance-enhancing thing."
Bowyer stayed with the RCR company line that the push his Chevrolet received from a tow truck on Sunday after running out of fuel while performing burnouts contributed to the height issue.
"My dad owns a towing business. I know a little something about wreckers," Bowyer said. "About 15 years ago, they took their push bumpers off the front of them for this very reason.
"I remember when we used to push people out of the snow banks. You'd push them out of the snow banks, and two days later they 'd show up with a body shop bill in their hand wanting you to pay the body shop bill for the damage you did to the back of their car."
RCR will appeal the penalty, which included a deduction of 150 points, a $150,000 fine and the suspension of the crew chief and car chief.
"I'm angry about the whole thing," said Bowyer, who now has three career Sprint Cup victories. "This tarnished my win. It's something you're very proud of. I'm angry for my fans. I'm angry for my sponsors. I'm angry about it. I think there are a lot of things that people don't know about, me included.
"I found myself, all week, instead of celebrating a win trying to figure out what the hell (NASCAR) was talking about."

UNDP supports training of 64 new women VDC Secretaries among others
Nirmaya Ban, the Village Development Committee (VDC) Secretary of Piple, Tehrathum says, "People still think that women do not have the skills required to work as a VDC Secretary. I faced a lot of challenges in my work as my senior officials and even some of my junior colleagues did not believe that I could handle the pressure that comes with this position," during the recent training provided by the Local Governance Community Development Programme (LGCDP).
There are 81 women Secretaries out of the total 3,915 positions for Village Development Committee level — the lowest tier of the government body. With the absence of elected government for almost a decade, the villages of Nepal suffer from untimely delivery of services. The rural people are disconnected from central level policies and planning. LGCDP has been strengthening the capacity of the local institutions such as the Ward Citizens' Forum, Village Development Committees and District Development Committees for better delivery of services and more accountability. Having more women as Secretaries at the Village Development Committee level is a leap progress from gender perspective and a move towards more inclusive participatory decision making process at the local level.
- For the first time in the history of Nepal, a significant number of women are in the position of VDC secretaries.
- In addition to providing local governance training, LGCDP has worked to make local government bodies more accountable by formulating Citizens Awareness Centres and Ward Citizens Forums in all villages and municipalities of Nepal.
As part of strengthening the capacity of local level institutions, LGCDP recently provided technical support to the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development with UNDP funding, to organise a basic training for all the VDC secretaries in the five development regions of Nepal. There were 718 participants including 64 new women Village Development Committee Secretaries who received a 4-day comprehensive training on planning, monitoring, financial management, reporting, block grant allocations etc.. The training was facilitated by the government's Local Development Training Academy.
Nirmaya Ban further says, "This basic training is supposed to be provided after the selection of VDC Secretaries and prior to joining the post, but it does not always happen so. I have found the government's official procedure to be very process-oriented. I was finding it difficult to executemy responsibilities without my prior experience in the administrative area and without adequate support and mentoring from my seniors. This training has been helpful for me as it has helped me to think in a new angle and get knowledge about some important issues required for inclusive development. Now I am clearer about my role as the Secretary of a Village Development Committee."
LGCDP began in 2008 and is the first nationwide integrated support programme for local government implemented in all the District Development Committees, Village Development Committees and Municipalities of Nepal. The UN Joint Programme of Support to LGCDP began in 2009 (now with 6 UN agencies) to provide technical and capacity building support to the Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development. UNDP administers this UN Joint Programme.

First place in the American League West will be on the line Tuesday when the Texas Rangers and Oakland Athletics continue a critical three-game series at O.co Coliseum.
Oakland won for the seventh time in eight tries and moved into a tie with the Rangers atop the division on Monday, as Coco Crisp belted a go-ahead, two-run homer in the fifth inning and Yoenis Cespedes added a solo blast in a 4-2 win.
Grant Balfour put the tying run on second base in the ninth but escaped with his 36th save after getting Ian Kinsler on a fly out to right and Adrian Beltre on a groundout to third.
"I'm enjoying the (pennant) race...as long as we finish on top," Balfour said.
Four Oakland relievers combined for four scoreless innings after Dan Straily (8-7) allowed two runs on three hits and three walks in the first five frames.
Texas, which had been in sole possession of first place since Aug. 10, has dropped three of four and couldn't get much going offensively outside of David Murphy's two-run homer. The club went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left 11 on base.
"We gave ourselves opportunities...we just didn't take advantage," Rangers manager Ron Washington said.
Derek Holland (9-7) was touched for four runs -- three earned -- on five hits and five walks in just 4 2/3 innings. It was the first time since June 6 the left-hander failed to work through the sixth -- a span of 14 starts.
Hits may be hard to come by again on Tuesday, as the Rangers go up against hefty right-hander Bartolo Colon, who is 14-5 with a 2.94 ERA. Colon pitched for the first time in over two weeks on Thursday in Detroit and looked good, as he allowed one run in five innings. However, he did not get a decision in his team's 7-6 loss.
Colon beat the Rangers the last time he faced them and is 19-7 lifetime against them with a 3.65 ERA in 31 starts.
Texas, meanwhile, will counter with lefty Martin Perez, who has won his last five starts. Perez was again on the mark Wednesday in Seattle, as he surrendered two runs and five hits in six innings to run his record to 8-3 to go along with a 3.58 ERA.
"He just goes out there and does what he does," Washington said. "That's throw the fastball down in the zone, change speeds and use his breaking ball and move it around."
Oakland gave Perez fits last year, though, as he was 1-2 in three starts against the club with a 9.90 ERA.
Texas has won eight of 14 from the A's this season.

Finance Ministed Pranab Mukherjee delayed the Insurance Bill as there was no use of passing the bill with already existing 26% FDI limit in insurance sector.
During the cabinet discussions, the finance minister felt that more consultation was required. The finance minister wants to increase the limit from current 26% level.
UPA government wanted to increase the FDI investment limit to 49%. Government owned general insurance companies can also raise funds from market.
The bill was also expected to grant more powers to insurance regulator IRDA. The government needs to push forward many reforms however the allies of Congress are not always of the same view. This has led to policy stagnation and financial experts are worried about the delay.

SCGS Genealogy Jamboree
For the past several years, I have contemplated attending the Southern California Genealogical Society's Genealogy Jamboree. Two of the years, the dates of the Jamboree coincided with the day that I was supposed to pick up my daughter from college for the summer and one of the other years, it was the week prior and I didn't know if I wanted to drive from San Diego to Los Angeles two weekends in a row. Well, this year, I decided to "bite the bullet" and attend the conference. Yes, I still have to drive up to LA next weekend to get my daughter, but this weekend is about me and my passion for genealogy.
I am very excited about attending this event that I have heard so much about. I am trying not to have too high of expectations. Instead, I would like to just "soak up" the experience and gain whatever I can. I have decided to volunteer for a few hours each day, too. Besides, that I am known for my "raising my hand" to volunteer, I thought this would not only be a way to give back but also to be more involved. I think it is rather symbolic that the conference is held in Burbank (which is located in the San Fernando Valley) since I grew up not far from there in the town of Van Nuys. My dad worked in Burbank for most of his adult life at Lockheed Aircraft.
So, my adventure begins tomorrow ... stay tuned to hear how it goes!

Record Number of Samples Taken from IODP Expedition 323 Cores at the KCC.
IODP Expedition 323 operated during Jul. 5 – Sep 4, 2009 with the aim of reconstructing the Pliocene – Pleistocene paleoceanography and climate history of the Bering Sea.
About 5,700 m of sediment cores drilled from bottom of the Bering Sea during this expedition were stored in the KCC in Oct. 2009. Approximately 30,000 samples were taken from these cores during Nov. 30 - Dec. 9, 2009 by 37 scientists from all over the world for a wide variety of paleoceanographic studies. The KCC staff continued to take samples from these cores over the next couple of months, and a voluntary effort of 12 Japanese researchers and students provided a much needed boost to accomplish the overall sampling goal of the expedition.
By April 22, 2010, all the samples required to be taken from these cores were taken, and the total count of samples stood at about 53,000, which is a record for the scientific ocean drilling program till date.

If you're trying to give your Podcast that extra bit of flair, personality and professionalism, extra content such as Audio Logos, Idents and stings could be just what you're looking for.
If you listen to any of the top podcasts, you will likely find they have a definitive brand identity. Most will have Idents or jingles at the beginning and end to let the listener know what they're listening to. Idents consist of a short piece of music, usually teamed with voice-over or effects to identify the podcast. These help to make your podcast sound professional and also build up familiarity with your listeners. Idents are either written specifically for a production, or purchased as stock music from libraries such as Beatsuite.com Music Library
Stings are another weapon in your sonic arsenal that can elevate your podcast above the rest. You will probably find that when you are putting together your podcast, it will often be naturally broken up into different sections. A gaming podcast may have a separate section for reviews, news and listener's questions for example. A good way to bookend these sections is with stings, this tells your listener that one section has finished and another has begun. Radio stations worldwide use this technique when introducing anything from traffic reports to chart countdowns. They help make your podcast flow naturally and gel together in a more organic fashion.
For that extra bit of polish, spot effects can be employed to add the finishing touches to your production. If used judiciously, they can inject a sense of realism into a narrative, set the mood of a particular section or simply let your listeners know you just dropped a massive tune!

You Probably Need a Will, So Here's How to Have That Potentially Awkward Conversation with Your Family
Remember, if you die without a will, the state will determine who inherits
So I've developed a bit of a swearing problem, not unlike the one I had when I was a teenager. I've always been a fan of a well-placed expletive, and I reject the idea that people who swear have limited vocabularies. Case in point: an old co-worker of mine who was like, genius-level smart with an impressive vocabulary, knew just how to place a "fuck" into a conversation for maximum comedic effect.
I don't have that talent. My mouth is the bastard child of a truck driver and a sailor, known to carelessly toss around a "damn it" or a "shit." It's like breathing, honestly. I was able to curb my language for many years while I was immersed in my corporate job, but now that I'm working from home and it's just me and the cat all day -- well, let's just say I've done a bit of backsliding lately.
In fact, it was during our recent trip to Iowa when I realized how bad my potty mouth had become. I said something -- probably a "shit" muttered under my breath after I dropped the first of many objects (why do I always drop stuff?) -- right in front of my kid and my mom.
Oliver has heard just about every four-letter word, in every combination, from my mouth. And he dropped his own S-bomb once and immediately apologized for it. I think he was surprised when my response was something like, "That word doesn't bother me, but it bothers other people so don't say it at school or in front of your grandmother." (Even though his grandmother is kind of the Mayor of Sweartown and taught me everything I know about it).
I remember reading this interview with George Carlin years ago where he talks about how he taught his daughter that there is nothing wrong with "dirty" words themselves, but that there are times and places where you shouldn't use them. It's about respecting other people's boundaries.
And I try to respect boundaries -- I am, after all, a chronic apologizer and never want to offend anyone. For example, one of the partners at my last job was very old school, and even a "shoot" or a "darn" would cause her to purse her lips. That was her level of comfort with swearing, and I respected that.
So how do you stop the sh!t train from leaving f@$k station, when you are born with a potty mouth like mine? What always helped me was to imagine I was having a conversation with my grandmother, who I would be really mortified to swear in front of because it just seems wrong. And that worked for many years.
Except I've been out of control lately, you guys. And when I muttered "shit" under my breath in Iowa, Oliver shook his head and said, "Oh Mommy, you said a bad word." My mom mentioned that my stepbrother and sister-in-law have a swear jar at home so that they'll stop using inappropriate language around their kids. I've heard of this concept before -- where every time someone swears they have to put money in a jar, and then the kids get that money -- but I never thought of implementing such a system.
And I really wish my mother had thought of doing something like a swear jar when I was a kid, because I've done some calculations, and based on how much my mom swears, I definitely would have been able to buy that Barbie Dreamhouse after like a month. MOM.
So I promised Oliver that I will give him a marble every time I say a bad word in front of him. Replacement words like "shoot" and "frack" don't count. (To recap the marble system, he earns marbles for doing chores and exhibiting good behavior, and when he reaches 100 marbles he gets $20 of spending money -- though he recently requested that we make it $5 for every 25 marbles.) I lost track of how many marbles I owe him so far, but it's definitely more than five and probably less than 20.
Do you swear in front of your kids? Was your mom a champion swearer like mine was (and still is)? Do you have a swear jar, and is it making your kids rich?
Somer is probably dropping an f-bomb on Twitter right now: @somersherwood.

Recently, I delved into research about how women and men differ when it comes to money. I learned about differences in how each gender tends to control money, how women feel they are treated in conversations about money, and, of course, how financial compensation varies between the sexes.
What I found most interesting in my research, though, was an explanation of how women and men differ when it comes to thinking about money in an article by Ruthie Ackerman found in the April 2012 issue of Investment News. Men tend to view money as a never-ending stream that is perpetually flowing and will always be there for them when they need it — a possible explanation for why men seem willing to take on more risks financially. Women, on the other hand, view money as a pond (without tributaries), so they feel that they must keep a careful eye on it, and worry about it drying up.
Is this a generalization? Absolutely — not every woman is afraid of her money "pond" evaporating, and some men are worried about becoming penniless. This generalization did, however, enlighten me about the cause of gender differences in approaches to money — including the root of many arguments between the sexes about money — and further cemented my affinity for working with women.
I believe this flowing stream/pond analogy is a result of our biology: Back when humans were cave dwellers, men survived because of their ability to go out in the world and hunt down an animal for food. This was risky, of course; they could have died in the process of prehistoric "grocery shopping." Women's skills, on the other hand, were honed back at the cave. Women were gatherers and were skilled at foraging and preserving the food that they found. If women couldn't find any food sources and if men didn't return home from the hunt, they were toast — unless they had frugally saved the food they had!
The biggest takeaway is that even as women's reach in the workforce and wealth continues to expand, we tend to have an inherent, if not illogical fear of running out of money. I think most of us can relate to the "bag lady" concern. Deep down, we may have a chronic fear of not having enough, losing what we have, and outliving our money.
So how can you work with these deep-seated fears and still continue to build your wealth? There are actions you can take once you are aware of and make peace with these fears.
- It's important to work with a financial planner or advisor who listens to and empathizes with any fears you may have. You can also prioritize building your emergency reserves to ensure your financial self-care.
- If you are partnered or married, you can be more involved in your financial decision making, especially when it comes to planning to have adequate life insurance in place.
- If you are close to retirement, you can explore lifetime income strategies, also known as annuities*, and ways to maximize your Social Security benefit.
- In general, you can take stock of your personal finances and ask yourself: What worries me and what can I do to alleviate potential problems?
Finally, be kind to yourself when assessing your financial situation. My generation — Generation X — is really the first generation where most women took on full-time careers. Women are still relatively new to the workforce, and have come very far in a very short amount of time. It makes perfect sense that we are still learning about money and how to juggle all of our other responsibilities at the same time. We can't do it all or know it all, and it's important to know when we need to outsource.
If you want to chat more about this topic — or whatever other financial topic keeps you awake at night — I'd love to hear from you.
*If exploring annuities, please be very careful who advises you. I recommend working with a Certified Financial Planner who is fee-only and won't receive a commission from the purchase of an annuity, and/or using a low-fee annuity from a reputable company. Do your homework or get help!

It is hardly news that health care and its costs have occupied the front pages of the news, at least since the adoption of the federal Affordable Care Act in 2010. As a provider, being in the medical field means more than just providing health care. You also have to navigate the increasingly complex and ever-changing sea of state and federal regulations. Health carriers have a whole range of new concerns, particularly those being adopted at the state and local levels to comply with the 2010 Act. Now even some employers are facing new mandates in this area, the scope of which will be important to understand with precision.
Our health care industry law attorneys are skilled at helping clients — from hospitals and health carriers to managed care organizations and employers. Our goal is to help our clients be compliant, while staying financially healthy, as they participate in a system designed to get people the health care they need.
We do it by working with you to satisfy the competing requirements of state insurance regulations, managed care issues, workers' compensation laws, and federal health coverage and privacy mandates. With our understanding of physician contracting, health care financing, and fraud and abuse principles, we help you minimize legal risks, reach efficient and practical solutions to your problems, and achieve your business goals. And when a change in rules or statutes is your best solution, we help craft that change, advocate for it before the legislature or rule-making agency, and guide it through the legislative or rule-making process. Let our attorneys help keep your bottom line healthy when these and other legal concerns arise:
- Regulatory and liability issues, including antitrust laws and the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. "Obamacare")
- Contracting
- Fraudulent claims
- Managed care and other insurance regulation
- Medical record and insurance record confidentiality
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Credentialing
- Anti-kickback issues
- Federal Medicare, Medicaid, and health reform

Cheapism researched cheap gaming laptops as well, identifying the Alienware M17x a solid system with a competitive price.
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 17, 2012
A new buying guide by Cheapism.com, a review site dedicated to finding quality low-cost products, identifies the best cheap gaming computers. The top picks are the Velocity Micro Edge Z40 and Maingear Vybe, which outperform more expensive models. Dell's compact Alienware X51 and eye-catching Alienware Aurora also make Cheapism's list. With prices starting at around $1,000 (for the Alienware X51), these systems may not seem cheap compared with conventional PCs, but they house powerful hardware for keeping up with today's games.
One of the key components of a cheap gaming PC is the central processing unit, or CPU. Gaming computer manufacturers tend to use Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 processors. The Maingear Vybe and Alienware Aurora employ powerful i7 processors. The Velocity Micro Edge Z40 and Alienware X51 come with slower i5 CPUs that balance performance and price. Consumers have the option to upgrade to a faster processor or downgrade to save money.
Gaming computer reviews indicate that experts favor systems with overclocked CPUs, such as the Maingear Vybe and Alienware Aurora, which have been rigged to run faster. The Velocity Micro Edge Z40 impresses reviewers in part because the CPU can be overclocked to 4 GHz from 3.3 GHz, which helps boost its performance to the level of a pricier gaming rig.
Video cards also play a crucial role. The Maingear Vybe and Alienware Aurora offer the option of two cards instead of just one. However, according to Cheapism's research, a single, powerful card represents a good value for frugal gamers. Manufacturers provide myriad options for other components as well. Gamers should choose at least 8GB of RAM, or random-access memory. The 1TB hard drives included with most models should prove adequate.
Cheapism researched cheap gaming laptops as well, finding the Alienware M17x a solid system with a competitive price. The 17.3-inch package can't hold the same hardware as a desktop tower but proves much more portable.
About Cheapism.com
Called by The New York Times "a Consumer Reports for the cheap," Cheapism.com is a review site that serves consumers on a budget who want the best value for their money. Cheapism is the only review site that focuses exclusively on low-price products, a part of the market often overlooked by experts.

We welcome Richard Lapthorne, our NEW Breeding Advisor covering Yorkshire!
We are very pleased to welcome Richard Lapthorne to our team, in the role of a Breeding Advisor in Yorkshire. Richard lives near Ripon in North Yorkshire and has worked in farming since the age of 11, when he started working on a neighbouring farmer at the weekends and during school holidays. After leaving school, he took up a 3 year ATB apprenticeship with the same farmer, on a tradition mixed farm, which gave him a great background in Agriculture. Subsequently, Richard began his long association with dairy cattle, on a 120 cow unit in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. After 15 years there, he took up a position with the pedigree Dalesend Herd and was there for 10 years, until the farm and herd was sold. At this point, he decided not to continue milking cows and instead pursued his growing interest in cattle lameness, setting up a foot trimming and mobility service in partnership with the Bishopton Vet Group. Richard is also qualified as category 1 foot trimmer and mobility scorer. He most recently finished a position at Bio-Genesys as a Technical Sales Manager, and is looking forward to starting a new challenge at Cogent.

Avoid litigation and keep decision making in your hands — instead of placing your dispute in the hands of a judge or a jury. Mediation allows the parties to meet with a mediator who can't decide their case, but who can facilitate negotiations and often help them reach an agreement without expensive depositions, expert witnesses or a full and very public trial. Jill can help you reach an amicable resolution that's speedy, affordable, voluntary and private.
Arbitration is a private hearing where parties agree to submit their dispute to one or more neutral and objective arbitrators for resolution. Unlike a mediator, an arbitrator does decide your case. Arbitration can save time and money and keeps your disagreement away from the press, competitors and other prying eyes who watch public court files and open courtrooms. Jill is an experienced arbitrator with the training and temperament to be the objective decision-maker you can trust for a fair and thoughtful resolution.

Jill spent the majority of her career as a United Healthcare executive. "I signed on to serve as a mediator and an arbitrator because I have seen too many legislators, executives and purportedly knowledgeable professionals disagreeing about complex healthcare issues that they did not fully understand and embroiled in healthcare disputes that could have been easily resolved or avoided. I understand health insurance, and the laws, regulations and nuts-and-bolts of the healthcare business.

Although the bulk of my professional life was spent at United Healthcare and its predecessors, I began my career practicing law in a number of diverse areas including securities compliance and commercial real estate leases at A.G. Edwards (now Wells Fargo).
I moved to healthcare in 1992 and served as in-house counsel and then General Counsel for GenCare Management Company, part of a St. Louis managed care provider. In 1995 GenCare was purchased by United Healthcare and after spending time in commercial insurance, regulatory affairs, public relations, and human resources, I moved to UHC's highly regulated Medicare Advantage product.
At GenCare and UHC, I dealt with and managed a wide range of the issues that healthcare organizations face in commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, individual, group, fully insured and self-funded products. My responsibilities spanned sales, marketing, benefits, regulatory, litigation, H.R., P.R., and physician and hospital contracting. I also worked extensively with physician capitation and understand payer issues.
I have over 20 years in the health insurance and managed care fields and understand the economics, regulations and operational challenges of government sponsored and private health insurance, as well as the PCMH (Patient-Centered Medical Home) and ACO (Accountable Care Organization) models.
As a UHC executive, I heard and challenged divergent views from diverse sources before making decisions with significant implications. I dealt with complex legal and commercial issues and participated on teams that pursued and defended arbitrated claims.

Embroidery Organizer
Photography: Formula z/s
Source: Martha Stewart Living, January 2001
When working on an embroidery project, you will save time if you keep the needles and threads you're using neatly sorted and separate from the rest of your sewing supplies. We filled a clear 9-inch loose-leaf binder with plastic pocket envelopes to hold various threads, small scissors, patterns, and instructions. A hole punch was used to make a "page" of heavy felt to hold needles. Choose a larger loose-leaf binder for your more elaborate projects; the principle is the same -- everything in one place.
