A ceremony congratulating members of a United Arab Emirates gender equality council for its work promoting diversity is being mocked online for its noticeable absence of women.
In a tweet by the Dubai media office on Sunday, the country's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, shakes the hands of three men presented with awards for Best Personality Supporting Gender Balance, Best Federal Authority Supporting Gender Balance, and Best Gender Balance Initiative, BBC reports.
Mohammed bin Rashid said he was pleased with the "significant progress in achieving gender balance" in Dubai that would promote "equal opportunities for both men and women."
Following the initial tweet showing Dubai's ruler with the three men, the Dubai media office then issued another tweet showing five women alongside Mohammed bin Rashid and the award winners, but they were not identified and there was no indication why they were there.
Along with the tweet, a caption quoting Mohammed bin Rashid was attached, which read, "We are proud of the success of Emirati women and their role is central to shaping the future of the country. Gender balance has become a pillar in our governmental institutions."
"And they say that satire is dead," one Twitter user remarked about the irony of no women winning awards at the ceremony highlighting achievements in gender diversity.
"I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you, but you forgot to invite WOMEN," another wrote.
Despite the oversight, UAE has indeed made strides in promoting equal rights for men and women in the country. Last April, the cabinet, headed by bin Rashid, approved the Law on Equal Wages and Salaries for Men and Women, which ensures equal pay for men and women.

Concept Art for new launched coaster shows a clone of S&S coaster at Happy Valley Beijing but it was recently announced this will be a Vekoma Top Gun LSM coaster. A design similar to the Firestorm we are seeing in Vietnam and Hainan but smaller and with another cracking layout. Early concept art also shows a Boomerang although its been announced a Junior Boomerang will be here instead. More concept art. Proper construction begins in March. Currently its just some dirt.


text: Three-time Employee of the Month winner, Reggie Watts, returns to discuss his latest, greatest project Runnin', which expands the cathartically original, prolific, and mischievously wry comedian, musician, and dancer's oeuvre. Catie Lazarus spoke with Watts about burn out, why he can't quit his night job, and his recent foray into VR with Runnin', which premiered at Sundance. The Film Festival is known for launching acting and directing careers, and given the breadth of VR experiences on display as part of their New Fontiers Exhibits, Sundance is proving equally deft at debuting inventive interactive and immersive technology. Watts teamed up with the remarkable producer and director Kira Benzing, and the delightful composer John Tejada, so that you can strap on the clunky goggles and dance like no one is watching. We spoke about the process of creating a virtual dance party - the first of its kind - and how Watts thinks it will enhance empathy. Runnin' certainly offers the escapist fun of tripping without a hangover, and will delight fans of all ages.

Thanks to the BlogAbout Network, I was asked to review A Wife's Secret to Happiness by Jen Weaver, and write a review. An even more fun part is to host a GIVEAWAY!!!!!
One of my #1 priorities is that of being a wife. From the moment that I got my life right with God, my marriage became something important to me. For too many years, I mistreated it, and I came within an inch of throwing it all away. Thank God that He stepped in when He did to save it and restore it to what it is today.
That was 16 years ago, and now, my marriage is thriving better than it ever has before. I believe a lot of that reason has to do with the fact that I love being married and I love my husband. Because of how much I love my husband and being married to him, I make it a priority to constantly read books and listen to podcasts on how to make my marriage even better. That is why I am so proud to introduce to you a book that not only gave me some new insights on my marriage, but it is also helping me to learn to celebrate my role as a wife like never before.
About A Wife's Secret to Happiness
Each chapter of the book highlights a specific blessing God wants to provide to a marriage, and the conflicting wifestyles—habits and tendencies in our routines as wives—that attract or reject this divine provision.
Jen comes with the voice of a friend, sharing lessons she's learned as a less-than-perfect wife in a less-than-perfect marriage blessed by God's more-than-perfect provision.
Described as equal parts practical, challenging, and encouraging, Jen calls wives into a marital experience different from what they've known or experienced before.
With fun wifestyle quizzes, Bible stories "Jen-style," and over 95 pages of free bonus content, A Wife's Secret to Happiness encourages wives to bring Jesus into their everyday lives as wives through intentional acts of faith and obedience.
Just for fun, you can take the #WIFESTYLE Quiz now to see what items make up your wife style.
When you're done, you'll probably want to order a copy of the book!
Jen's Thoughts About This Book
I have read many marriage books before, but I love the way that Jen lays out her chapters. Each one talks about a blessing that God wants to give you through your marriage and y'all, I will be honest. Some of those blessings are some a few years ago I would have turned my nose up at!
For instance — when she starts talking about submission — we all know this is a hot topic among many married and single women alike. But I love, love, love the way Jen dispels all those myths about submission and what it truly means between a man and a woman.
This book exceeded my expectations and I cannot wait to recommend it to another woman who might be struggling with her role as a wife. It is time for us to start celebrating that role instead of dreading it.
Enter to Win
I have one copy of A Wife's Secret to Happiness to give away to a reader. Entering to win one (1) copy of A Wife's Secret to Happiness will be super easy!
Take the WIFESTYLE Quiz. Then come back to LEAVE A COMMENT letting me know What wardrobe describes your wifestyle.
The giveaway runs until Friday, March 31!
Readers can now purchase a copy wherever books are sold, or by visiting this affiliate link.
Whenever you've finished reading the book, I'd love to hear about what you've learned! Also, if at anytime you need prayer for yourself or your marriage, I'd love to pray with you.

There's more to ROI than meets the "I"
Promises of quick payback never fail to grab management's attention. But when it comes to selling your great idea, don't underestimate the power of the "soft" returns.
Ten years ago, Sandford Grossman says, a project manager's job was much easier when it came to getting a new venture under way. In those days, he'd basically decide what equipment he'd need, run his request through a brief approval process and set the acquisition in motion. Today, however, it's a far different story. Before they get even preliminary approval, managers can expect to field a lot of questions about the project's expected payback period. And that's not just true of private corporations. Nowadays, even the federal government demands to know what sort of return on investment (ROI) each project will bring.
Take the assignment Grossman was recently handed: choosing a new warehouse management system (WMS) to replace legacy software at the Herndon, Va., distribution center run by SOC Enterprises. (SOC Enterprises, where Grossman works as a project manager, is the literature distribution arm of the government's Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.) Besides figuring out which WMS fits best with the agency's enterprise system and material handling design, Grossman and his consultant, Ernie Schell of Marketing Systems Analysis, found they had another non-negotiable requirement to meet: the software they chose would have to pay for itself in three years (a requirement that was later trimmed to two years).
It's not that Grossman doesn't appreciate the need to make the ROI case. "When you can put the dollars and the time for a project to pay for itself in front of management, [that] takes the bite out of it," he says. Still, documenting the projected financial benefits of a new WMS hasn't been easy. What has helped, Grossman says, is that he's been able to identify all kinds of compelling "extras"—additional benefits that don't necessarily factor into the ROI equation but nonetheless bolster his case. For starters, he's been able to convince management that a new WMS will allow the facility to use its labor better and increase its through put. "It also gives us a great deal of upward mobility, such as RF, inventory control and greater operating efficiencies," says Grossman. These kinds of benefits are tough to quantify, which means they rarely make it onto the official spreadsheet. But they still can have a significant impact on a project's return.
ROI's still king
In 2005, it seems, obtaining approval to buy technology or equipment has become a numbers game. "Companies are tightening the belts on what they spend on new equipment. They're investigating their options more [thoroughly]," says David Kumle of DLK Consulting in Kirkland, Wash. "Return on investment remains the driving force of any project."
For a lucky few, it's a slam-dunk. Take, for example, a regional LTL trucking company in Wisconsin that loads 90 to 95 percent of its freight using forklifts. Several years ago, a manager noticed that the trucker's customer billing failed to reflect actual weights and recommended that the carrier invest in 20 forklift scales that would allow it to bill more accurately. Given that the projected return could be measured in days, not months (the scales paid for themselves in only 45 days), his recommendation sailed through the approval process, reports Marc Mitchell of Enterprise Information Solutions, a company that served as a consultant on the project.
But most managers don't have it so easy. Often, the more compelling case is not to be found in the "hard" (quantitative) returns, but in the "soft" (qualitative) benefits. "You have the hard economics, which are shown in a quantitative analysis, but then you have a qualitative analysis. How is this going to [improve] our customer service? Is this option going to be easier to implement?" says Dale Harmelink, a partner in Tompkins Associates, a supply chain consulting firm based in Raleigh, N.C.
Typical qualitative improvements include better labor utilization, ease of training and improved accuracy. For example, a new storage project might result in better cube utilization, a smaller footprint or easier access to product. Installation of a new transportation management system might lead to improved freight billing, better route management and denser loads—all very real improvements, albeit tough to quantify. For that reason, the soft ROI is usually a "trust me" sell to management, says Mitchell. And though he doesn't discount the soft benefits, he recommends that project managers concentrate first on those things that can be more easily quantified. "You should make your decisions on hard ROI," he says. "Then if the soft comes, that's just gravy."
Running the numbers
Questions of hard or soft returns aside, how do you go about calculating ROI? A good place to start is with the software or equipment's vendor. An experienced vendor is likely to have a good idea of what kinds of returns its customers can expect. Once you have that estimate in hand, schedule a meeting with your corporation's CFO to determine how the company analyzes costs. You'll need to find out how it calculates projected tax rates, inflation, inventory carrying costs, labor costs going forward, salvage value, borrowing costs and depreciation. Depreciation alone can have a big impact on a project's ROI. For example, a rack-supported building that is considered to be equipment can be fully depreciated in as little as seven years—a fraction of the depreciation period for a traditional structure.
The ROI calculation should include both initial investment costs and annual operating expense. Figure on spending 10 to 12 percent of the initial cost for ongoing support and maintenance, depending on whether support will be provided by the internal staff or by an outside contractor. If the project involves hardware, the calculation should also include a repair parts inventory as well as costs for storing those parts. If the project requires a software upgrade, be sure to include the cost of integrating the package into the legacy systems.
Above all, take the long view when you run the numbers. Companies whose calculations focus strictly on payback will get a distorted picture of the ROI. Instead, your calculations should reflect any savings that will continue to accumulate even after the software or equipment has paid for itself."It's not just how long it takes to recoup the investment," says Mitchell, "but how much you'll save after the investment is recouped."
Even the best idea will go nowhere if you can't provide the CFO with a clear idea of the project's payback period. But delivering a successful pitch is about more than just identifying the projected return; it's also about conducting a sound analysis and making a strong presentation. Here are some tips for getting it right from the start.
- Consider all the options. It's a rare problem that has only one solution. Make sure you consider all the alternatives. If you're looking for a new way to move products, for example, restricting your focus to conveyors could cause you to miss out on an excellent opportunity to use automatic guided vehicles. And focusing solely on a pick-to-light system to boost productivity could cause you to overlook a chance to try voice technology or an RF (radio-frequency) system. After you've weighed the advantages and disadvantages of each option, it's time to narrow the field to three or four possible solutions for more detailed investigation. Remember that your cost comparisons should include the cost of operations if they were to remain unchanged and, if applicable, the cost of outsourcing the task under review.
- Plan for the future, not for the present. "Don't box yourself into a corner. You need flexibility if your business or customer requirements change. Make sure you have the equipment and space to adjust," urges Dale Harmelink of Tompkins Associates.
- Resist the temptation to take shortcuts. Be sure your presentation includes all the various options considered in your analysis, including the expected costs of each and the payback expected. Also point out how inaction or delayed action may affect future operations.
- Have your figures at hand. Review the full installation costs and offer recommendations for when any installation work should be performed. The last thing you want to do is cripple your operations by transitioning to a new system during peak season.
- Show how each proposal affects labor needs. Is the current staff sufficient to operate new equipment? Is additional training necessary? How much ramp-up time will be required for your operation to achieve peak efficiency?

I always hear such horrid rumors about how anal and evil the staff at this site are, but honestly I haven't noticed - there's a system and it gets adhered to, and that's fair enough, honestly.
We're at our worst when doing the job right and following the rules. There are a lot of people out there who are very selfish and could give any segment of a damn when they don't get exactly what they want. I'm happy when the rest of our community can see past the nonsense.

What's the 44 Club you may ask? Well it all started in the outro of this video tvclip.biz/video/AyLPMhp7qbs/video.html where we wondered if anyone was still watching the video at that point, and to comment 44 (Scott's fave number) if they were. Brett then said 44 Club get on board and the rest is history. The 44Club is the official How Ridiculous fan club made up of people who love our videos and watch them right to the very end. We've even got 44 Club merch now! So yeh, that's the story. Pretty random but good fun at the same time.

Algeria to free 2,629 Islamists under amnesty
ALGIERS, March 5 (Reuters) Algeria will complete the release this week under an amnesty of 2,629 Islamists jailed during civil strife that lasted more than a decade, the justice Minister was quoted as saying today.
Tayeb Belaiz told the government newspaper El Moudjahid that 150 former rebels walked free from prisons across the country in a first batch of releases on Saturday as part of a drive to promote peace and national reconciliation.
The amnesty approved by the government on Feb. 21 also gave Islamic guerrillas fighting the authorities six months to surrender and receive a pardon provided they were not responsible for massacres, rapes and bombings of public places.
Officials estimate about 1,000 guerrillas are still active in the oil-exporting nation, most of them members of the radical Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC).
The group is on the U.S. list of foreign terrorist organisations and is believed to have links with al Qaeda.
OPEC-Member Algeria plunged into brutal civil strife early in 1992 after the then military-backed authorities scrapped a parliamentary election that radical Islamists were poised to win.
The violence claimed around 150,000 lives and 20 billion dollars in economic losses due to a sabotage campaign by Islamic rebels.
Thousands of Islamic guerrillas have given themselves up since a partial amnesty in January 2000. The last prisoner releases were in 1999.
The new amnesty offers compensation for victims of the conflict and families of disappeared people as well as aid for families of rebels killed in the fighting.
It also provides compensation for people who lost their jobs because they were believed to be associated with militancy.
Under the pardon the military would be protected from prosecution for alleged human rights abuses.
Human rights groups and families say many of the thousands of people who disappeared were abducted by the security forces.
Government officials say many of the disappeared joined the guerrillas.
A national committee was due to be set up at the justice ministry on Sunday to ensure the implementation of the amnesty, Belaiz said.

I adopted a sweet dog they rescued from a shelter. The dog was kept in a very loving foster home. I met the foster parents. This rescue got the dog really good medical treatment. They really cared about the dog. I'm so grateful for animsl rescues like this. They are very reputable. Thank you GADR for my Teddy!
Review from Guidestar
My experience with GADR is only positive. I submitted an app and was contacted right away with an email. The next day they called and said I was approved. I then met my sweet dachshund mix Ruby at Petsmart. The volunteers were all so friendly and sweet. One thing I noticed they only cared that the dog would be a good fit. After checking my vet and application they did a home visit. I adopted my Ruby and she's been the best dog I ever had. I love her so much. Thank you to all the volunteers!!
I adopted two dogs over the past 7 years. This rescue actually care about where their dogs go. I see people upset and writing bad reviews because they were declined. That's very immature. This rescue is all volunteers. They all work so hard and saving lives. I know my two babies were going to be euthanized if they didn't save them. I'm so happy this rescue resists. People forget they are all volunteers. Thank you for my babies.

Review from Guidestar
I just recently submitted an application for one of the dogs with Guardian Angels. The responses I received were absolutely horrific. I was met with nothing but discourtesy, dismissiveness, and a complete lack of attention. In the very first response, I was confronted with false assumptions; first off, I was asked about information that had clearly been provided in the required application. This followed with the assumption(rather than an appropriate question) that I gave my dog away in the past when I clearly indicated that I HAD NOT in the application. I had to leave my dog with my family because I moved to college and couldn't have animals in the dorms. They explicity said at the end of the first email "Thank you for your interest.If any of this was an error on our part let us know." MUCH OF IT was in fact an error on YOUR PART Guardian Angel, but instead of acknowledging YOUR mistakes you ignored it and continued to talk to me like I don't know what I'm talking about.
Next, they told me the vet I provided had no records of my cat, only records of my former chameleon. I realized I was at fault for this because I had a separate vet for my cat. Admitting to the mistake, I told them I would happily provide them the necessary information and I will take whatever steps they would like me to take. I was asked to fill out another application, and when I responded saying I would do it, I wasn't even allotted 5 whole minutes until I received another email saying "No need too. Sorry our foster wants a home visit. We have no one to drive to Orlando. Good luck on your search." I was not given a single opportunity to reapply like asked. I was not spoken to with respect, I was dismissed, and they did not even take the time to thoroughly review the information in my application because they asked the most ignorant questions. Something tells me if they actually were serious and respectable, they probably would have somebody who could drive APPROXIMATELY an hour and a half. I'm in the next major city over! But no, I am written off immediately as if I'm some undeserving animal mistreating idiot. Also, I didn't have any clue who I was talking to. There was no formal Introduction, and I would go as far as to say the interaction was not warm, personal, or friendly at all and they were very cold. If this is the way you respond to people who are inquiring about adoption who GENUINELY WANT to do anything in their power to save an animal's life, then I wouldn't want to adopt from you anyway. You obviously have no idea how to treat other humans. Absolutely disgusting.
Thank god for animal rescues like this one. They are all volunteers and are in business to save lives. I rescued my baby from them 4 years ago and is the love of my love. People that criticize rescues and all volunteer non profits probably do not volunteer for anything but complain. This is an awesome rescue and I recommend them to donate or adopt a dog
I adopted a dog from this rescue. The dog I adopted was saved from a rural shelter in Polk County. The rescue explained to me he had a cold from being in a shelter. My wife and I were so impressed on the care they gave this dog. I know they gave him antibiotics that cleared it up. I took my Teddy home and he was fine. But if he was ever sick I would take care of him. And certainly not complain. I'm so happy they saved him from being put to sleep when no one else cared. A few reviewers that bashed this organization was so not called for. If you truly love dogs and you want to help you rescue. Also on ages and weights of animals they save, they can only estimate. The dog I adopted the veterinarian estimated. To be upset on a year difference is ridiculous. Also on another reviewer saying there dog was sick. No one can predict the health of an animal. This rescue consists of all volunteers. I saw how dedicated and how much they loved the dogs. I will only adopt from a rescue and help save lives. Thank you Guardian Angels for giving me my Teddy. I'm forever thankful
I adopted my boy from Guardian Angel Dog Rescue 4 years ago after falling in love with his photo and video. I had never adopted before and really had no idea what to expect. They were incredibly thorough, verifying all the information I provided, talking at length to my family vet and landlord to make sure the dog was permitted and would be cared for. They counseled me extensively on the health and the history they could provide, and did not sugar-coat the fact that my now vibrant boy was neat death when they rescued him. The wonderful fosters and the director nursed him back to health and are still so happy to see him whenever he visits them at PetSmart. I can't imagine my life without him. I knew he would require special care because they were very clear about that, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
I adopted the sweetest chihuahua. He was in perfect health. She is the best dog I've ever owned. When other rescues turned my application down just because I'm 19 and live in apartment. This rescue called me and verified with my mom that I'm responsible and a good pet owner. This was 3 years ago. I can't say how much I love my baby. My baby is my life and can never say thank you enough to this rescue. I highly recommend them if your looking for a dog.
As a former (moved away) volunteer for this rescue, I can say with certainty that they truly care about the animals they rescue. They are truly dedicated to finding the best homes for deserving fur babies.
GADR serves the Tampa Bay community by rescuing helpless angels. A great organization and fantastic group of volunteers.
I adopted a large, black hound mix from GADR about 4 months ago and cannot imagine my life without her. She was at a local shelter on the euthanasia list when they saved her. Mila had quite a few medical and behavioral issues when they rescued her which her foster mom had been working on with her and were improving. Everything the foster had learned about her including behavioral quirks, her favorite treats/toys, and full disclosure of medical history was provided to me and I felt fully aware of what I was getting into with her adoption. It was such an easy transition because I really felt like the foster was so thorough and set my family and Mila up for success. The volunteers were all super friendly and you can tell they really care about the animals they rescue. I was told if for any reason I could not keep Mila they would take her back but there's no way that will ever happen!! Thank you GADR for pairing me with my favorite girl!!
I had only positive experiences with Guardian Angel Dog Rescue in Tampa. I adopted the sweetest dog in the world. This rescue told me how they rescued her from a shelter that was going to put her to sleep. They took such great care of her. They showed me how emaciated she was when they rescued her. All the dogs they rescue go to foster homes. The foster dad fattened my Abbey up and they got her spayed and all great medical care. That was 7 years ago. My baby is healthy and so happy. I've never loved a dog as much as my Abbey! The adoption process was very easy. I filled out an application at there website. I loved how they called my vet and reference and even my landlord. They actually care. They then called me to tell me I was approved. Then I went to Petsmart and met my Abbey. They gave me as much time as I wanted with her at Petsmart. They were very nice and professional. I really liked that the dog I adopted was so well cared for. I received lifetime training tips and free health insurance too! The thing that really impressed me, is they called me to check on Abbey the next day. I highly recommend adopting from this awesome rescue. I always believe in adopting versus buying. As I care about helping saving a life. I cant imagine Abbey would have died if this rescue didn't save her. Forever grateful to them.
I adopted three dogs from this awesome rescue. I love how thorough their application process is. They all are volunteers and care so much where the dogs go. I had no issues with the health of the dogs. In fact they all were seen my a veterinarian. I loved how they all were fixed, shots, microchipped. They even gave me free 30 days health insurance. I also love how they save dogs from the shelters. I highly recommend adopting a dog from this rescue.
I have adopted 2 great cats and a wonderful dog from GADR. These are an extremely hard-working bunch of people who do any and all things for these animals, from finding and fostering them to finally adopting them out. They are at Petsmart every single Sunday, rain or shine, trying to find adoptive families. They are very rigorous in their adoption processes to ensure the animals find good, safe homes. They do whatever is needed for their animals to be and stay as healthy as possible. Since the animals are rescues, they may not know everything about their history, but if they know, they will tell you. My one kitty had a respiratory infection, which they informed me about and provided the medications for, and she was fine within a few days.
I adopted my Zoey bear with them and it was such an easy processes, she was definitely well taken care of by her fosters and has been the light of my life, her daddy's and her sister Kara's life ever since!
GADR is an amazing animal rescue group that I would highly recommend. I started volunteering for the rescue group, and was soon a foster mom for many sweet angels they rescue from the shelter. GADR goes to kill shelters on a weekly basis, and rescues dogs and cats that would not be given another chance at life it weren't for rescues like this one. Even when every foster home is full, they will take a few extra dogs and the rescue directors will foster them until someone else can. Yes, the dogs that are rescued are sometimes sick with kennel cough, an upper respiratory infection that can often sound like an animal is choking to death. As a previous reviewer said, the rescue will often instruct to not run to a vet immediately, because the animals have been provided with an antibiotic and should improve. This is to save an animal another scary visit to the vet when they just want to adjust to their new forever home. But the rescue does get a good bill of health from a trusted vet BEFORE adopting it out. They would never give an animal away thinking it's in poor health, or that it still needs more help. In fact, they cover the costs for emergency surgeries for very sick rescued animals, and always do what they can. One last thing....if this rescue waited a minimum of a month before adopting out, how many less lives would they be saving? The time it takes before a dog is adopted out is and should be highly dependent on the dog. If he's happy, healthy, and ready to go, why not give him a forever home and true happiniess with a loving family as soon as possible? I am so sorry to the previous reviewer for what happened to their adopted dog....I can't begin to imagine your pain, and the GADR family does mourn for your loss. I wish there was something that could have been done, or that we actually knew how sick he was before we gave you that baby.
GADR is an amazing rescue with great volunteers and an admirable goal of saving innocent animals. This is a great rescue that I am proud to volunteer and foster for. Even if you don't choose to rescue through GADR, don't shop, adopt!
I adopted two dogs from this organization. They are now the love of my life. Both dogs would have died at the shelter if it was not for Guardian Angel Dog Rescue. They are truly one of the very best rescues. Every dog or cat they save they get fixed, shots, microchipped and all medical expenses. Plus they make sure there adopters are all good. I like how they checked my vet and where i live. Thank god there volunteers that save lives. Thank you GADR I am forever grateful for my two sweeties.

Review from Guidestar
PLEASE READ if you are considering adopting.
I don't typically write reviews, but I had such a horrific experience with this rescue that I wanted to share for future adopters—especially since I learned a lot about adopting in general.
I adopted a sweet dog that they said was about 4-5 years old and healthy except for a little cold. We were so happy to welcome this adorable guy into his forever home, and we trusted them that it was just a cold, so we took him home. Within hours of the adoption it was obvious he was very sick and getting sicker. I told them that evening that I was very concerned and they actively discouraged me from taking him to the vet (I have emails to prove it). Luckily, I ignored them. By the next day, he could barely breathe. I learned that the dog was not 4-5 years old, but most likely 8-10, with a list of health concerns, including a serious upper respiratory infection, a bacterial infection, most likely pneumonia (for starters). We did our very best to treat all these illnesses, as we wanted so badly for our new little guy to get better, spending so much money, staying up all night and praying our hearts out—but he just got sicker and sicker, until we were forced to end his suffering. We only had him for 5 days.
Though there's a chance they didn't realize how sick he was when they gave him to me, THE WORST PART is that over the next four days after I adopted him, while I tried in absolute desperation to save this dog, they absolutely would not help me. They kept insisting that he would be fine and not to worry, that it was "just" a simple cold, they kept insisting he wasn't contagious to my other dog (he was—I'm worried she's already showing signs of an upper respiratory infection) and when I contacted them at one point, begging them to consider taking him back if they thought they could save his life, because I was terrified he was dying, they told me to "rehome him" myself. I learned afterwards that they had rescued him sick and on death row from animal services only 4 days before they gave him to me. They could not possibly have adequately cared for him in that time. When we told them of Cooper's passing, they did not even say "I'm sorry" or "That's sad." We were horrified by their treatment of the matter.
We've shed a lot of tears over this experience and our heart breaks for this poor dog. We've also learned a lot.
If you adopt from this rescue or another one, make sure you know when they got the animal, how long they've had it (I've since learned that most reputable rescues foster for at least a month). Also, don't take home a sick animal—any rescue that isn't willing to completely treat an animal before giving it to you is bad news. I would not recommend using this rescue.
They help you find a dog with a compatible personality for you and your family. You might be able to do that on your own from a shelter, but I appreciated their help and expertise.
I started out adopting a wonderful rescue from them and loved the people in the Organization so much I decided to volunteer as well. They helped me get immediate medical care for my new dog with a Vet who discounts for them. Spencer Bard, Director, is dedicated to the animals and this rescue 24/7. And his volunteers are super. They go to the shelters and pull dogs on death row, dogs with medical issues, and other needy dogs. And they help the foster or adopter with their new dog. Couldn't say enough of how good this Rescue is.

Fair's fair.
Q and O points out that it was Kerry himself who was first questioning the service record of George W. Bush, and—with an able assist from the Wall Street Journal—quickly puts the lie to the notion that the Swift Boat Vets are out of bounds.
I'm still thrilled with the way Bush handled the calls for him to condemn the Swifties. He distanced himself from them, yet rejected the idea of a unilateral disarmament by those who support him (or at least hate Kerry), and brought up the idea that these 527s are even less accountable than the parties are, as a basis for future policy debate. (I think it's worth noting that a few of the Democratic 527s had offices right next to that of the DNC at the Democratic convention.)
Simon Rosenberg-- the head of New Democrat Network, one of many so-called "527" organizations operating under the latest tax code--- appeared recently on C-span. Near the end of his interview he sorta inadvertantly revealed the thinking of the Democratic Party in exploiting the 527 loophole when he bemoaned the sorry state of the Party's finances and ascribed that to (you're going to LOVE this...) the strength of FOX NEWS and Rush LIMBAUGH!!!!!!!
Okay, I get it. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and the largely tax-payer-funded Public Broadcasting System are unable to counter the schemes of the Vast RightWing Conspiracy. The evil Republicans have managed to compel twenty million unsuspecting citizens to chain themselves to their radios to listen to Rush, and uncounted other millions to sit in thrall to the demented rantings of Fox News, long known to be the unofficial propaganda organ of the Bush juggernaut. Fox and Rush are therefor part of the official fund-raising apparatus of the Republican Party, so they should be subject to appropriate restrictions and penalties.
Simply, the groundwork is being laid by the Democrats to compel funding for their own propaganda from the national cookie jar.
Of course, as you point out that's really already happening on PBS and public radio. (I happen to have a soft spot for public radio, but it is rather relentlessly lefty.)

About Joy W. McCann: I've been interviewed for Le Monde and mentioned on Fox News. I once did a segment for CNN on "Women and Guns," and this blog is periodically featured on the New York Times' blog list. My writing here has been quoted in California Lawyer. I've appeared on The Glenn and Helen Show. Oh—and Tammy Bruce once bought me breakfast.
My writing has appeared in The Noise, Handguns, Sports Afield, The American Spectator, and (it's a long story) L.A. Parent. This is my main blog, though I'm also an alumnus of Dean's World, and I help out on the weekends at Right Wing News.
My political philosophy is quite simple: I'm a classical liberal. In our Orwellian times, that makes me a conservative, though one of a decidedly libertarian bent.

Grocery Lists for Better Health
By Donna Kostiew
Unless you are a parent looking for some quiet time with a coffee in hand, grocery shopping usually isn't on the top of anyone's list of fun things to do during the week. It can actually be somewhat of a difficult task, even for the most organized person. But it's single-handedly one of the most important tasks we do for ourselves and our loved ones, especially in regards to everyone's overall health.
Utilizing Grocery Lists for Better Health and Savings
Taking care of ourselves and our family is obviously of the highest priority, and what we purchase at the grocery store is critical to achieving and maintaining great health. It can be hard though to stay on track with our fitness and health goals if we head to the store without a plan. A grocery list is the perfect weapon to have in hand while navigating the aisles of treats and goodies. It will help you stick with a healthy eating plan while also lowering the final cost of your bill. Let's look at some of the benefits of using a grocery list every time you shop.
- Healthier food choices – Using a grocery list will help to keep you on track with maintaining your healthy-eating goals and with keeping your refrigerator and pantry stocked with ingredients to prepare healthy meals all week long. This is important and is a great way to avoid the excuse of ordering takeout when there is "nothing to cook at home." Also, it is a great way to commit to having plenty of fruits and vegetables in the house to snack on in place of chips, cookies, and plastic-wrapped, neon-colored pastries.
- Weight management – A well thought-out shopping list will set you up for success when it comes to weight loss and weight management. It can be a great reminder and point of focus while walking up and down all of those aisles filled with temptations that seem to be screaming your name. So arm yourself well and put a muzzle on that noise. By planning your meals ahead of time and cooking more often at home with nutritious foods, you will be able to better maintain a healthier diet and will have more luck at lowering your levels of body fat and maintaining your ideal weight.
- Savings – Making it a point to plan your meals and snacks at home will help you avoid making poor shopping choices at the store. Your shopping will become more efficient and you will be less likely to fall into the "impulse-buying" that usually happens around the time you walk down the cereal aisle. This will not only help you save money, but also time as well, and that can often be just as important as the dollars that you are keeping in your wallet with your thorough planning.
Families who plan their meals and shopping in advance tend to have an overall healthier diet and lifestyle, so give it a try, and get your loved ones on the right track to achieving great health.
To learn more about your health, wellness, and fitness, see your local chiropractor at The Joint Chiropractic in Chino Hills, Calif.

Last week I wrote about five of this summer's hit songs but honestly, they're all kind of lame.
The real songs of the summer are on your country music radio station.
If you believe summer starts on Memorial Day and ends on Labor Day with the Fourth of July smack in the middle (which I do), that makes summer the most patriotic season of the year. And what genre celebrates America best? Country.
This season's new country songs are full of good vibrations and bad ideas. Here's all you need to know to have a good time this summer:
"American Kids"
Kenny Chesney's Summer To-Do List:
- Make out in the Baptist church parking lot, try not to get caught, take her home and give her your jacket
- Make it to second base, but say you went all the way Monday afternoon at practice
- Grow up in little pink houses
- Make out on living room couches
- Blow that smoke on Saturday night
- Get a little messed up, but be all alright
The Brothers Osborne's Recipe for a Summer Afternoon Cocktail:
- Two parts Love
- Pinch of good weather
- Top it all off with the sun
- Mix it with rum
Mmmm, mmmm, mmm mmm.
"Drunk on a Plane"
Dierks Bentley's Do's and Don't of getting drunk of a plane:
- Tape your ex's picture to the seatback right beside you
- Buy drinks for everybody but the pilot
- Get the sexy stewardess to pour you coke and whiskey
- Tell her about your condition
- Get a little mile- high flight attention
- Have Mardi Gras up in the clouds
- Bump your seat up to first class, so you can drink cheap champagne out of a real glass
- When you get off, call your ex and tell her to kiss your a**
- Take two weeks vacation for an all inclusive Cancun honeymoon with your ex
- Pass out in baggage claim
- Get stood up by your fiancé
"Somethin' Bad", Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood
How To Be A Runaway Bride:
First, Avoid Dierks Bentley, because he's drunk on a plane because of you
Pull up to the church but get so nervous
Back it on up, don't make it to the service
Grab all the cash underneath your mattress
Get a real good feelin' something bad about to happen
Run into a girl in a pretty white dress
Roll down a window, where you heading to next?
Say I'm heading to the bar with my money out the mattress
Got a real good feeling something bad about to happen…
Stand on the bar, stomp your feet, start clapping
Get a real good feeling something bad about to happen
Drinks keep coming, throw your head back laughing
Wake up in the morning' don't know what happened
You and that girl that you met on the street
Roll down the road, down to New Orleans
Get a full tank of gas and the money out the mattress
Get a real good feelin' something bad about to happen
Tear it up down in New Orleans
Just like a real-life Thelma & Louise
If the cops catch up, they're gonna call it Kidnapping
Got a real good feelin' something bad about to happen…
"My Kind of Night"
Luke Bryan's Perfect Summer Date Night:
"Put in my country ride hip-hop mixtape/ Little Conway, a little T-Pain, might just make it rain
You can hang your t-shirt on a limb/Hit that bank and we can ease on in/Soak us up a little moonlight/ You know I know what you like
All them other boys wanna wind you up and take you downtown
But you look like the kind that likes to take it way out
Out where the corn rows grow, row, row my boat
Floatin' down the Flint River, catch us up a little catfish dinner
Gonna sound like a winner, when I lay you down and love you right
Yeah, that's my kind of night!"
"Get Me Some Of That"
How To Get A Degree From The Thomas Rhett School of Sexy:
"Shake that money maker like a heart breaker, like your college major was twisting and tearing up Friday nights
Love the way you're wearing those jeans so tight
I bet your kiss is a soul saver, my favorite flavor, want it now and later
I never seen nothin' that I wanted so bad
Girl, I gotta get me, gotta get me some of that
Yeah gotta get me some of that
Little more what you doin' right there
Swingin' your hips and slingin' your hair
Side to side with your drink in the air
Lord, have mercy, now, girl, I swear
Gotta get your number in my phone
Gotta get me some of you alone
We can worry 'bout it later on
Right now just keep makin' this my favorite song"
"Play It Again"
Luke Bryan's Guide to Getting Kissed By Hot Strangers:
1. Play her favorite song.
2. Play it again.

Laura, our daughter(-in-law), got tickets for a play at New Trier, location of my job for some thirty years. The play was 'Shipwrecked,' something that I don't recall even hearing about.
I was surprised that the Playbill didn't have any information, so I did some research today and came up with the fact that he was a real person, a Swiss. The play was really well done; I am guessing it was the Frosh-Soph play. I did some research for that and came up with nothing. That is neither here nor there. The play starts out with someone representing Louis de Rougemont, who starts to talk about his alleged adventures in going from London to 'see the world' at age sixteen and ending up being shipwrecked, supposedly in New Guinea.
The play has numerous people playing the role of the main character as he grows up from the age of sixteen to adulthood. It was a little disconcerting to me that they had females playing the role as well as males, but they did it so well, it didn't really matter. It also reminded me of a combination of the stories of Candide and Don Quixote, or a least something of those two genres.
The play, overall, was wonderful and a great time for the four of us, that four including Samantha, our eight year old granddaughter.
Disconnected is how I felt as I visited the huge change to New Trier, the new part of the facility, one replacing the old Technology Building and Music Building that my early years of teaching saw as my hall duty. Disconnected because this pretired teacher has been retired for almost eleven years and it has probably been some nine years since I have been back. The McGee Theatre, where I once even stood at the podium to speak to the faculty, was a totally new rendition, featuring deep steps to get down to it from the main floor.
The huge new hall that abuts the Baumann Student Center was amazing and Samantha asked me to take her hand as we went down the steps. She was amazed to realize that I had taught there for so long and wanted to see where that was. We did not have the time to do so, unfortunately. I figured that I would probably not see anyone I know, and besides seeing from afar, Hilerre Kirsch, a Speech and Theatre teacher I remember, I saw no one that I knew. I really thought I might run into a former student who was at the play to see his/her son or daughter.
It felt weird.
It brought back many memories, just getting there was so easy as my car was on autopilot. It is hard to believe that one could spend so much time in a place and have it depart so easily from one's routine and even psyche.

Who should invest in mortgage trusts?
Mortgage trusts are appropriate for investors seeking higher yields and interest income compared to money market and fixed income investments, and for those who are seeking a consistent stream of income. Most trusts are suitable for investors with a low tolerance for risk.
What to consider when investing in a mortgage trust?
Before investing in a mortgage fund, the following fund information should be reviewed and evaluated:
- What is the maximum loan value on any one property?
- What is the maximum percentage or dollar value that can be invested in any one mortgage?
- What are the lending guidelines for commercial and industrial mortgages?
- Where are the mortgages located?
- Do the managers have personal equity in the trust?
- How experienced are the managers in originating mortgages?
These details are published in the fund's Offering Memorandum.

CHINLE, Ariz. - Skaters, bikers and fans from Tuba City to Window Rock, amassed at the Chinle Junior High School. By the hundreds they came to witness the grand opening of the Skateboard Park. The new park filled quickly with skaters enjoying the heavy metal music, food, and prizes.
This project was largely due to planning and vision of the Chinle School District, a vision, which began in the 1990s,
"Ever since then, it seems like the seed was planted for Chinle" said Gloria Grant, Chinle Junior High Principal. "The Chinle School District has a vision, they really do see down the line - what is it that will keep the youth out of trouble? When you mention skateboarders, a lot of people tend to look the other way."
The Skateboard Park project became a community effort.
"It started with the community kind of embracing the idea that it is not a bad thing - it is a good thing. They, all students and the youth, need a place, a venue and this was recognized by our school board and administrators, at least 15 years ago," Grant said. "We had skaters in our family for generations, so it comes natural that I embrace this and I see it as a good thing. I see it as a very good area for the students, small children to young adults, to be able to have a place to go to, a place to enjoy."
The $500,000 state of the art Skateboard Park grand opening was blessed with the presence of Chad Knight, a professional skater for 13 years, who started skating at the tender age of 10. He is now involved with Skatewave/LSI since 2007, participating in numerous skate park grand openings throughout the country and has also been part of the Skatewave R&D Team working on continuous product development and improvements. Winner of the Houston Make-a-Wish event, he possesses a well-rounded skateboarding experience and understanding of what the youth like to ride, which is his extension of his love for skateboarding.
"People really don't realize the need for a skateboard park until they build one and then some 300 or more kids show up at the grand opening and then they see the need - like here, the turnout is awesome, it amazing, this is the biggest turnout I have ever seen," said Knight. "There is a need for a skate park everywhere - all over the world. If you don't want your city to be a skate park, you'll need to build a skate park."
"It is a lot safer to skate in a skate park then on the streets," Knight continued with a word of encouragement, "Skaters, just have fun - don't get caught up in anything too serious - just do it because you like it."
The local skaters expressed enthusiasm about the new skateboard park.
"It's pretty good, I like it, all the stuff is really close, you can pump real good and you can get a lot of good tricks in line, too. I like it," said Brent Johnson of Chinle.
"I like it. Now I can practice and learn more tricks with this new park and have a safe place to skate," said Jeremi Cummings of Chinle.
Macy Clauschee of Chinle wishes "more girls were involved in the sport of skating, because it's really fun - we are very lucky to have a skate park."
