We reserved a spot in the premium Yellow section along the beach dunes, so we could enjoy some nice
We stayed at the Holiday cross country inns Trav-L-Park Resort in Emerald Isle, NC for one night passing through from Charleston, SC to catch the Cedar Island Ferry over to Okracoke, NC. After reading reviews about some of the other campgrounds which were closer to the ferry, we opted to try this place because it seemed like it would be more scenic, secure, friendlier and not too far off our scenic coastal cross country inns route along US 17.
We reserved a spot in the premium Yellow section along the beach dunes, so we could enjoy some nice scenery if even for only one night. We paid $80 + $5 (50 amp) + $5 (for pet). We were escorted cross country inns to our back-in site, which offered a picnic table, no barbecue or fire ring. We unhitched our toad, parked it next to us, took out only our doormat and cooler, which sat next to our front door.
In the morning, when we were getting ready to pull out, we noticed our cooler missing. Trying to stay on schedule and meet our ferry reservation, we looked around the area quickly and did not see it; we proceeded to exit the campground. I called the office to report the incident, but at 7:30 in the morning they were closed. We stopped to hitch our toad by the office and spoke with one of the campground "Managers" who apologized for the incident and took a description of the cooler.
I called later in the day and was told that they found my cooler out on the beach and had it in the office. The owner's assumption was that some kids must have taken the cooler out to the beach. I asked if they would UPS the cooler to my home. The owner's cross country inns reply was that she could not be responsible for every cooler that got stolen. She would not UPS the cooler back to me at her expense nor would she discount cross country inns my stay for the cost of a new cooler. Apparently this park has a theft/management problem.
cross country inns Days later, In contrast to this, we stayed at a park in Hickory, NC where the power went out for 3 hours during a hail storm. Voluntarily, the owner did not charge us for that night because of the inconvenience. Needless to say, I would not recommend staying at a park that has theft issues in addition to an owner that takes no responsibility for those issues and charges $90/night.
I totally understand about the previous rv response to their cooler being stolen. But the big piture this is a very clean well kept campground with ocean access, ocean view on some sites and very clean bathhouses. I have visited this campground at least 30 times over last 3 yrs and I absolutely love it.

Once again, I am now home from a fabulous vacation -- one that I didn t even have to pack a suitcase or (gasp!) get on an airplane. Thank you, Vicki, for the wonderful guided tour. I absolutely LOVE the picture of El Morrow Fortress ... beautiful!
Beautiful photos! My daughter-in-law, who passed away several years ago was from Puerto Rico.
We changed our approach to situations like this. Instead of hoping to get the behaviour we wanted,
Many years ago, I used to watch with equal parts awe and envy as a local dog owner would take his dogs for an outing. Despite reservation miami intl rent a car having more dogs than the two we were constantly trying to herd, this fellow seemed to have little problem moving his dogs from the house to the car to the park for a walk and back. At the time my mind boggled at the prospect of how much time he must have to spend training his dogs to get that kind of cooperation.
Fast forward to this past year when we were watching two dogs for a cousin who was under the weather. reservation miami intl rent a car With our two dogs that made four dogs we were dealing reservation miami intl rent a car with on a daily basis. Instead of the frenzy of dogs we used to experience, things went along very smoothly. No ruckus at meal times, reservation miami intl rent a car no problems reservation miami intl rent a car getting dogs out to do their business, even outings reservation miami intl rent a car were worry-free and fun for everyone. It was a stark contrast to that utter chaos we were dealing with twenty some years ago with only our own two dogs. And that was just to get out of the house to go for a short walk!
You might wonder what made such an incredible improvement in our situation these many years later. It would be great if I could tell you it was some magical training secret; a simple trick that could cure all your dog behaviour problems. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your point of view, the answer is more simple than that. We just manage our dogs differently reservation miami intl rent a car now.
When we made our transition from our former force-based training ways to a more modern approach using positive reinforcement and behavioural science, we developed a simple rule for ourselves as trainers: If we encounter a behaviour in our dogs that we didn t like, we must train an acceptable alternative or manage the situation so that there is no opportunity for the unwanted behaviour to happen. Put even more simply, train it or manage it!
In many cases we actually reservation miami intl rent a car used both training and management to resolve reservation miami intl rent a car an unwanted behaviour. Let me give you an example. Nearly all puppies (and many dogs!) will try to bolt out of an open door to see what fascinating adventures they can discover. This is a problem behaviour for us because we live in an area where our dogs could easily run out onto the road where there is the danger of being hit by a car. We clearly needed to train our dogs to wait at open doorways. It sounds easy enough but there are lots of ways it could go wrong in a hurry.
reservation miami intl rent a car The best way to teach a dog not to bolt out of a doorway is to simply not allow them to rush out without permission. But that process is going to take several trials and rewards before the dog catches on to the concept. And here s the problem; the dog has to go outside to do their business! It s just not acceptable to keep the dog indoors until he learns to leave politely. This is where management comes in and I have lots of options for managing the situation.
Early on in the process, I can put a leash on my dog and do a little work on the doorway behaviour and them take her out on leash without fear of her running off into traffic. Another approach would be to use fencing or baby gates to provide a narrow pathway into our fenced backyard, this way if my dog does manage to bolt, she is not in danger and all that is lost is a training opportunity and not the dog. There are many ways to use management to advantage when working on behaviours.
Sometimes it s not about changing the environment as much as it is about changing reservation miami intl rent a car how we respond to our dog in given circumstances. In the example I gave above, many people will try to block or corner the dog if they are trying to get out the door. Often this can evolve into a game of block-me-if-you-can with the dog developing more inventive ways to escape. In these cases I have to ask, why didn t the owner manage the situation so that they didn t have to play goalie to keep the dog from running out?
In my experience, reservation miami intl rent a car dog owners are ever hopeful creatures. I know my wife and I certainly were many years ago. You stand in front of that door, hand poised to open it, wondering if this is the time your dog gets it and finally waits patiently. You roll the dice. And more often than not you are disappointed. But worse than that, our dog has learned that getting reservation miami intl rent a car outside is a matter of speed and cunning. Getting outside reservation miami intl rent a car is the reward and our failure to manage the situation reservation miami intl rent a car has just reinforced the very behaviour we are trying to change.
We changed our approach to situations like this. Instead of hoping to get the behaviour we wanted, my wife and I started approaching training situations with an eye toward managing the environment or the dog or both to be sure that if we could not reward the behaviour we wanted, at least our dog would not be rewarded for the behaviour we didn t want. It didn t take a lot of effort, just some planning and some thinking things through. We very quickly found that all kinds of situations can be set up to help our dogs do the things we way we would like until we could get the training in place.
While many management techniques will help while training is happening, there will be some situations that may always need to be managed. One example is that our older dog, Tiramisu, gets upset when other dogs crowd into her space. This can make letting the dogs outside tricky. When our younger dog Rizzo was a puppy, he didn t have much respect for Tira s space and would try to rush out past her with unfortunate consequences. While Rizzo is much better about Tira s space these days, we have found that it is just easier for everyone if we monitor and manage reservation miami intl rent a car our dogs so that they exit the house one at a time. It s a management technique that keeps other problems from happening and so we just do things that way.
Another example is that we ask guests not to knock and just walk into our home when we are having parties or get-togethers. We have noticed over the years that our dogs bark in response reservation miami intl rent a car to a knock at the door. When guests arrive and just walk in, they are greeted with quiet curiosity. And yet, when a package arrives with a knock on the door, we are alerted by barking dogs if we are out in the yard or busy working. Management gets us the best of both worlds.
If a dog gets over excited and jumps up on guests, why not put them in another room until you have greeted the guest yourself? Do you have trouble reservation miami intl rent a car getting your dog to recall when at the park and you let them off leash? Why not use a 30-foot long line instead of a leash. It s far easier to step on a trailing line than catch the dog. Does your dog constantly reservation miami intl rent a car bother you at the dinner table? Why not put them in another room with a chew bone while you eat? You might be surprised how many of your problem situations can be solved with a little planning and re-arrangement.
Instead of thinking in terms of preventing the behaviours you don t like, think instead of things you could do to change the situation so that those behaviours reservation miami intl rent a car never occur at all. If you find that your dog jumps up on you when you are standing still while on a leash walk, why not step on the leash so they can t jump up? Wouldn t that be better than yelling, No! Off! Stop it! NO! over and over? Trust me, after a few failed attempts to jump up on a shortened leash, reservation miami intl rent a car your dog will stop trying. Then you can praise her and tell her what a great dog she is for being calm and waiting. Management and training, fancy that! And no one has to get yelled at.
A great side benefit of using management techniques is that it lowers the frustration for both the humans and the dogs. It s much more likely that you will get angry with your dog for bolting out the door if she runs into the road. You fear for her safety so it s natural that you will be upset but she won t really understand that. Using good management to reduce unwanted behaviour will put your mind at ease and you will find that you can more easily focus on teaching your dog the behaviours you want instead of being upset and angry about the behaviours you don t want.
Very nice piece, Eric, with lots of practical advice. I have an interesting management story. reservation miami intl rent a car I have four dogs. My puppy Clara was very pushy from the get go, and going to grow to be the biggest dog in my house (great combination). My 12 lb rat terrier Cricket was 15 years old at the time, frail and with dementia. I decided to keep them completely separated, with no plans of future interaction between them. I already kept Cricket permanently separated from one of the other dogs. So from the time that Clara was 10 weeks until at least 10 months old, the only in-person glimpse she got of Cricket was when they would pass once or twice a day in the hallway, with me literally body blocking between them. The interesting thing is that now I can let Clara into the same space as Cricket, reservation miami intl rent a car and she keeps her distance and treats Cricket with respect (unlike how she treats everybody else she s a body slammer when she gets a chance!). We never practiced this polite behavior. It s just that I was so completely consistent in preventing interactions between them that staying away became how we do things to young Clara. I m not recommending this as a solution, since I think it s always good to train as well as manage. But in this case management alone had an interesting result.
Thanks for sharing reservation miami intl rent a car your story, Eileen! It s a great example reservation miami intl rent a car of how using management can sometimes give us unexpected happy consequences. I think in some ways you prevented a problem with Clara by never allowing her to rehearse the bad behaviour reservation miami intl rent a car of interacting badly with Cricket.

PLEASE NOTE: you ll need to book a cargo spot for your dog and notify the airport/arrival authoritie
But I digress. The reason for this post is all of the research I ve been doing on traveling abroad with your dog. Obviously, it s a couple months before thrifty car rental discount coupons I leave, but I thought this information would be useful to a number of you so I m posting thrifty car rental discount coupons it early. Once I actually travel with Luna, I will update this research to reflect anything unforeseen and/or talk about my own journey as well. But, for now here s what my research has yielded.
Please note that these directions are for taking your dog from the US to the UK. BUT, they also generally apply to the EU or listed non-EU countries (like Argentina or Australia). You should double-check things if you are coming from an unlisted third country.
1. Research the UK s current regulations. I m going to tell you what they are. But things thrifty car rental discount coupons change. So you should always double-check the requirements before you take my word for stuff. For current UK requirements, visit DEFRA .
2. Get your pup microchipped. Microchips must comply with international standards (for Europe in general and the UK specifically, this means ISO norms #11784 and #11785, thrifty car rental discount coupons which is a 15-digit chip). Note that you must have your pet microchipped FIRST —before you do any of these other steps.
3. Get your pup vaccinated against rabies. After he/she is microchipped, thrifty car rental discount coupons you'll have to get a rabies shot…even if he/she thrifty car rental discount coupons is already vaccinated. Make sure to do this at least 21 days before you leave the US, as the UK has a 21-day waiting period after the shot before your dog can enter.
4. Have your vet fill out a veterinary thrifty car rental discount coupons certificate. If you're coming from the US (or another approved country), you'll need to have your vet fill out a certificate ( download it here ). This lets the UK know that your dog is healthy and has its microchip and so forth.
5. Treat your dog for tapeworm. Tapeworm treatment should happen one to five days before you leave. Your vet will need to put the tapeworm information on the vet forms he s filled out. And, then, after you have the treatment and your paperwork, your vet will fax the paperwork to the USDA to make sure everything is correct. Once the USDA responds with either changes thrifty car rental discount coupons (which your vet should make and then fax the paperwork back) or approval, you will need to call the nearest USDA office and ask for a time to get your paperwork stamped.
Once you have a time, take your paperwork and your checkbook down to the USDA office and get everything stamped. They ll charge thrifty car rental discount coupons a small fee (around $35) and they only take checks or money orders, so don t forget your checkbook!
6. Travel on an approved route. You can get a list of approved routes on the embassy website. As of this writing, they include: Manchester thrifty car rental discount coupons or London via plane, as well as a number of ferry or train destinations from mainland Europe thrifty car rental discount coupons (and Cunard Cruise Lines from New York).
PLEASE NOTE: you ll need to book a cargo spot for your dog and notify the airport/arrival authorities of your arrival date and time to get pre-approval. For Manchester airport, thrifty car rental discount coupons the appropriate authorities are Pets on Jets . You ll need to pay a fee (as of this writing, 300 pounds) and fax over your vet forms and they ll send you a form which approves your dog for transport thrifty car rental discount coupons (letting the airline know it s okay to send him/her over). Then, they ll meet you at the airport, make sure your dog s microchip matches thrifty car rental discount coupons your paperwork and approve your dog for entry into the country.
PLEASE NOTE: as of this writing, the UK does not allow animals to come in as carry-ons , even if they are tiny. If you don t want to have your 20-lb-or-less dog be cargo, you can often carry him/her on to other European countries and bring him/her into the UK via ferry or train on certain approved routes. This means going first to somewhere like France or Belgium, getting a pet passport (and the tapeworm treatment), and then heading to the UK on an approved ferry or train.
[After I wrote this, I found this lovely post on the topic . It's a little out of date with the new UK rules (no serological test, for example), but has some thoughts I didn't explore above...So, another resource for you!]

Kim's face is noticeably fuller here and in some other recent pics I've had the misfortune of seeing
Saltydog, those two wet towels in the picture are what happened to Emma. Sometimes I think she looks pretty but other times she's a bit alien-like and plain. free world travel guides I think the photographer free world travel guides is questionable if all three look that terrible.
The strap at the top of Adrienne's dress, with the corner sticking out, looks velcroed and unfinished! haute gauche-ure? (but what do I know?) If it weren't for the boob exposure, I'd have noticed sooner... ;)
It's going to be so much fun watching Kim get fat! She's a gainer, all right, just as I expected. The only unfortunate thing about it is that she will probably do like most mothers and lose the weight after the spawn is birthed. :( But the hugely fat photos are gonna be great!
I watched free world travel guides that utterly mediocre and pointless "Amazing Spiderman" shit the other day: did they really expect anyone to believe that ANY group of dudes - even "dorks" - would stand staring at Emma Stone with their jaws dropped? Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
WTF happened to Emma Stone? I was at the drug store and they had a huge Revelon display with like for pics of her and her lips looked done and she looked very pinched and almost Kidman like between the eyes and nose. I REALLY hope that and this cover are photshops disasters and she's not getting botox and fillers at her age.
Also I find it skeevy that she's lik 23 and they're pairing her up with Sean Penn and Ryan Gosling in that stupid gangster movie and now two 40 something free world travel guides dudes on this cover. Sort of like Jennifer Lawrence free world travel guides and B Coop in Silver Linings.
Can I confess that I have no idea who Rick Ross is and whether or not he and Slick Rick are the same person. I feel like it is one of those situations where rappers talk about them all the time and reference free world travel guides them but I just don't know who he is.
Kim's face is noticeably fuller here and in some other recent pics I've had the misfortune of seeing, even more so. Is it sad that I cannot wait for her to explode? I'm thinking Jessica Simpson league but part of me knows (and is disappointed) that she is too vain to let it all go completely to hell.
Oh, probably. He left his spouse of over 11 years or something for Rachel free world travel guides when they got it on during filming. And I agree, she sure is lovely to look at. If he didn't look like he's on the verge of the trots usually when I see pics of him, he'd be alright as well.
Kim Lardasshole, as always, is as wide as the back end of a fucking bus. Shouldn't she be "showing" free world travel guides by now? Or did they announce the "pregnancy" five seconds after the artificial insemination took place?
I was gonna say that she should fire her stylist and her make-up artist for that bad contour/shade job on her nose, but she probably did it all by herself or had a relative or friend help, because she's probably still living off her Keeping up with the Kardashians checks.

If you spent time with the post below , then you probably have the taste of fame whore leche in your mouth, so rinse away that nastiness by breathing in the natural beauty of the earth goddess that is Shauna Sand . I mean, Shauna Sand is an elegant piece of parsley with fake chichis and exquisite taste in heels. If you've been looking for the perfect church ensemble that says, " I'm as pure as a drop of saliva off of a baby unicorn's tongue, " then take a page from the Empress of Lucite and steal a doily out of a pre-school craft closet and turn it into a dress. As soon as you sashay charming hotel spain through the church doors tomorrow, the entire congregation will turn away from the altar and worship at your feet instead.
charming hotel spain Here's the most gorgeous creature in every universe with her piece Laurent Homoburger (typo and it stays) charming hotel spain gracing Miami with their beauty the other day. You can't tell from these pictures, but every time Shauna Sand's heels touched the ground, a member of the preservation society declared that patch of concrete a historical site. And I used to think that sleeveless Ed Hardy t-shirts were the epitome of tacky, but that appreciator of beauty in the background is making me think otherwise. He obviously knows sophistication and is an authority on elegance if he's taking a picture of Shauna Sand. I will never doubt his taste.
Gotta love today's beauty standard: grab malnourished stripper with molten ape face, dye hair yellow or white, add fake tan floating devices: Miss Universe! Lets put that shit on television/in magazines/give it a record deal!
For all of you who provided links re Shana that showed "after" charming hotel spain shots, I thank you for the nightmares that I will surely suffer from tonight. REALLY, thanks for having the decency to not show the be*ver that is enough to make anyone, regardless charming hotel spain of orientation, never want to have sex again.
@ crazyinjapan: You are so right. My mom was a professional model in Sweden the 70's. She had me moisturizing at age 13. My dad got skin cancer when I was 15 and forbid me from sunbathing. The result is skin with no lines or wrinkles.
Poor Shana has destroyed her once beautiful face. And I seem to recall a picture of her kitty-cat. It ain't purty. Labia majora drooping 5". Shana, spend your money on plastic surgery that gives you a youthful, sweet kitty-cat and stay out of the sun and tanning salons!
Anyway: My gran is 80 and started getting grey (she's got black hair which usually gets grey at quite an early age) about 3 years ago - asking her about how she did it would result in: "Well, I don't know, maybe because charming hotel spain I smoked, maybe because I had short hair most of my life, maybe because I never dyed it, maybe because I only used the cheapest shampoo available, maybe because I went through war barefoot, maybe because I didn't go to school." You pick her secret.
I remember when he was on a show called "Hot or Not" and he had a laser pointer light thingy and would aim at at contestant's inner thighs or abdomens and say things like, "you'd be hot but I see a little bit of jiggle here, so you're not!" I always imagined him behaving like that with his own wives.
Another thing. People should be accepting of their flaws. Nobody is perfect, and there are some things that can't or shouldn't be changed. Got a big nose? Tell yourself that Roman noses are beautiful! Just look at Meryl Streep.
So "moisture moisture moisture charming hotel spain and the men will fight over you" is pretty naive unless crazyinjapan did all of that and can confirm that her advise is valid. That was were my question was coming from - got it?
That's not exactly what I said. I said take good care of yourself, be well-groomed, and be an interesting person, and you will be attractive. The moisturize, moisturize, moisturize statement comes from my grandmother. She was beautiful until the day she died. She didn't try to look like a 20-something, but strangers would come up to her and tell her how pretty she looked up into her 70s. When I was a kid, one of my little friends said, "Your grandma! She looks like a movie star!" I might be naive about a lot of things, but I've had so many boyfriends, fiance's (I don't know how to put an accent mark over the E, so I just used a quotation mark), and downright stalkers that I think I know a little about what is attractive. :)
The daughters are getting it from both ends, just look at their dad Lorenzo Lamas who only dates women with rock hard tits. Have you seen his FIFTH wife Shawna Craig? Hard to believe but her implants look even worse than Shauna's.
This whore* is a pathetic example of the LA wannabe woman; fake oversized bolt-on tits, plastic surgery on her face, dumbass stupid ankle tattoo, bleached blond hair. And, in her case, stripper shoes just so people will notice her. She's the punchline charming hotel spain to the joke "who's the stupidest dumbass LA wannabe whore*"...
Edit: Or better: It would be nice if you would explain how you caught me - it's always easy to insult someone without further explanation, and I could write a book answering you - but honestly, I don't want to. So maybe an essay (as I don't have better charming hotel spain things to do than answering a short spoken grumpy Brit):
To explain my stupidity: It's always easy to talk about what ageing people should and should not do when one isn't in the situation themselves. "Moisture moisture moisture" dosesn't make much sense when your skin is flapping charming hotel spain around as that is genetic - and that happens to everybody charming hotel spain from the age of 25 (Lady Gaga) to death. The age in which you start to notice it is in your mid to end 30s. All the stars you see have had the one or other treatment, charming hotel spain no matter how much they deny it - I bet a lot of them inject their own bodyfat, have botox and whatever, cause ageing fucking sucks.
So "moisture moisture moisture and the men will fight over you" is pretty naive unless crazyinjapan did all of that and can confirm that her advise is valid. That was were my question was coming from - got it?
okay, so she's a bit distorted and not the prettiest nor the brightest bulb that ever hit a socket but i'll tell you this, it's a lot better than looking at a frumpy soul shopping for cat food and books.
charming hotel spain Shauna is my closest friend, as some of you may know, and we chat daily. She is elegance personified and a lady with a capital "L". Did any of you know that she was once Head Nun in a convent? Do with that title what you will, but SS will be with us always, thank the good Lord in heaven. She could teach Lady Kate or Princess Kate, or whatever she's called now, a thing or two about understatement and class. But - Prince Wills didnt stand a chance with her! He's way too common charming hotel spain for her.

Why do people do this to themselves? There must be some self-hatred going on. I hate this, I hate that, oh doctor fix me up! Cripes people, learn to love yourselves and moisturize, charming hotel spain moisturize, moisturize. Oh, and try to keep a steady healthy body weight. You can be hot 40+, just don't turn yourself into a zombie-looking whore with plastic surgery. Look into the mirror. Say I care about you. I will take good care of you. I will dress you flatteringly, and I will not wear too much makeup. I will not inject toxins into you. I will not mutilate charming hotel spain you. I will do interesting activities with you.
But seriously. It might just seem that way because these ARE the people getting attention. For every dizbomb like Shauna or Kim K, there are like 10 normal women who are being ignored because they don't have their freaky faces and misshapen charming hotel spain carved-up bodies out on display charming hotel spain and are working charming hotel spain and taking care of their families and going to school to better themselves and volunteering their time to help others. These freaks are not the norm. They're the sideshow.

I woke up this morning with a sense of dread not uncommon, I admit, but this dread had a specific holiday car rental atlanta source. I m planning to leave on Wednesday for San Diego to attend the surf dog festival and I m worried about the drive with Frankie.
It s not a terribly long trip from Tucson , about 7 to 7.5 hours depending on the traffic as I near San Diego. The southern Arizona segment tends to be a breeze, with long stretches of pristine desert and little traffic. The speed limit is 75mph for the most part and there are no speed traps (at least last time I went) so I generally cruise at about 90mph. The California segment is a lot more congested, but there are stretches through the mountains that are gorgeous.
Many dogs are eager to hit the road as soon as they hear the sound of rattling car keys, but Frankie shakes, salivates, and stands upright in his harness for hours, on red alert. I tried everything: holiday car rental atlanta taking him on short trips to nice places (as opposed to the vet); keeping the window open rather than using the a/c; buying a booster seat so he could look out; even playing soothing music (which I hated, holiday car rental atlanta so maybe he picked up the bad vibes). His comparative serenity in the mid-size car I rented when my Hyundai was in the shop made me wonder if Frankie just needs a smoother ride, but I draw the line at buying an Escalade for him.
(Of course, I got the Hyundai before I got Frankie. Who knows what I might do if shameless self promotion alert (SSPA) AM I BORING MY DOG become a best-seller holiday car rental atlanta and I can afford to upgrade my wheels? According to a study by the American Kennel Club , some 47 percent of dog owners take their pooches into account when buying an automobile. See the reviews on Dogcars.com if you're among them.)
In order to calm Frankie down I tried botanicals like Rescue Remedy and lavender oil. Neither did a thing for Frankie. Dramamine didn't work at the vet's recommended dosage; neither did Benadryl. Valium, also prescribed, turned Frankie into a little love machine. He licked my face with even more abandon holiday car rental atlanta than he usually does and velcroed himself to me. That woudn t have been such a problem if, when I took a test drive with him, he hadn t tried to disengage himself from his harness to leap into the front seat with me.
Then the vet suggested Ace. My friend Karyn warned me that she heard about bad side effects, but she has a greyhound. My online research holiday car rental atlanta didn t indicate any problems with small dogs. Frankie seemed great, more relaxed than I d ever seen him through the trip. It wasn t until much later, when I was researching (SSPA:) AM I BORING, holiday car rental atlanta that I discovered Ace just masks the symptoms, leaving your dog still fearful but immobilized.
My peeing, that is, and it s not a urinary tract issue but a logistical one. Frankie has no problem with al fresco relief of course. But I can t leave him in the car when I go inside to relieve myself, not at this time of year. Even with a window cracked, it can take only a minute or so for a car to reach a fatal temperature. Dogs don't have efficient self-cooling systems.
Some three hours or so into my last trip to San Diego, I discovered that I needed to go desperately. After driving for miles through the desert without seeing a rest stop, I finally came to a gas station and convenience store. According to the big thermometer holiday car rental atlanta display, the mercury had hit 110 deg. F.
I looked around outside. No bathrooms. Okay, I figured they must be inside the store. Hoping to pass him off as couture, I put Frankie into a tasteful leopard-print carrier and went in. We were stopped immediately by the clerk, who said that, because the store sold food, Frankie was a health violation. (Have you ever eaten a convenience store burrito? Now there's a health violation.)
I explained holiday car rental atlanta that if I peed outside the front door it would also be a violation one that the clerk would have to mop up. The crazy lady alert went off, and Frankie was permitted to stay with me. As I drove away, relieved, I contemplated how unfair it is that women can't share the public urination experience with their dogs. I'm certain it's a source of man-and-dog bonding.
So, for all these reasons and others too boring to go into, I booked a ticket on Southwest , which newly started accepting pets. I haven t paid for it yet. See my next post for why I m obsessing over this decision.
holiday car rental atlanta Update: As my friend Karyn suggested, I posted on Craigslist for a ride share. And, as my friend Sharon advised, I can scope out the rest stops in advance on line, heading off the problem, as it were. I m still weighing my options though. Stay tuned.

Since the early days of lotto people have played because of that 'what if'. What if you won? Well now with the Powerball getting higher and higher every day it has us thinking about that question more. What if I won $100 million? What would I do? There are plenty of crazy and fun things you can do if you won $100 million.
Instead of investing into stocks or bonds, why not invest your money into opening a Rita's Italian Ice franchise. For an estimated total of up to $287,000 you ca n be your own boss and eventually make money without even having to be there! After paying the franchise fee of as much of $25,000 you're ready to go. Rita's Italian Ice requires that you have a new worth of at least $250,000 and $75,000 in liquid cash available which will be no problem since you just won $100 million!
Anyone can own a luxury car or pay for limo/town car, but not everybody can say they own a helicopter. For as low as $250,000 you can own your very own helicopter. The Robinson R-22, considered one of the world's most economical helicopters, has extremely low operating cost and is great for the new flyers. If you are the kind of person who is looking for something a little more flashy the Eurocopter EC120 Colibri Hummingbird might be more your style. For $1,700,000 get this helicopter that seats up to 5 people! That's something the entire family will enjoy. Related Posts Powerball is $200 Million!

The past few years haven't been easy for Mindy McCready; the country singer has dealt with drug addiction and jail, plus a protracted custody battle over her son with Billy McKnight. But Jan. 13, the day her boyfriend David Wilson died of a gunshot wound, was likely her lowest point in recent memory, as she told NBC's Andrea Canning on TODAY Tuesday.
Wilson, a 34-year-old record producer, was initially rushed to the hospital earlier in January after suffering thessaloniki travel advice reportedly self-inflicted gunshot wound that did not immediately kill him. McCready was with him after the shooting. "I just started screaming, calling 911," she said. "I lay down next to him and just just pleaded with him not to die."
The investigation as to the cause of death remains open, and there are no suspects in the case (including McCready), Cleburne County Sheriff's Department said. Tests that will determine whether it was suicide or murder are due back in a few weeks.
But there remain lingering questions. McCready denied that Wilson, the father of her other son Zane, was having an affair, and explained that the bullet wasn't found until the next day because "it was in the dog's mouth."

Meditation is a mystery to many in the Western world. Sure, we've all heard of it, but most say they
Great writers, thinkers, innovators begin in silence. Inspiration, the romance of life blossoms out of silence. Creative people in all walks of life seek silence as their laboratory to make a new world. The next steps in life, art, business, science call for realizing our golden potential. In silence, our world opens to this goldenness, what is life giving and true. A silent retreat is free time where simple being and inner stillness conspire to light up our minds with the light of our soul.
The best of our creativity emerges out of the valleys and mountaintops of the silence inside of us. Artists, couples, small teams of innovators in all fields routinely go into and listen to the voice that is clearly heard in silence. We retreat from the busy world that pushes and pulls our attention elsewhere. In silence we can concentrate on being open for the unexpected. Silence helps form the questions so the answers can come. Silence clears the plate so the creative process is front and center, here and now.
Silence and creativity best places for buying airline tickets are perfect partners. Silence gives to our creativity, and creativity gives to what we find in the silence. A tapestry best places for buying airline tickets of trust develops where the unseen can be given form, the unknown can be discovered. The creative process is most at work when there is silence outside and peace and quiet within. In the deep and pure well of our being, real creativity takes place. Whether it is the next step for our life, a romantic relationship, writing a book, business venture, or scientific innovation, an atmosphere of silence is where all of our inner resources can gather, be, and multiply. On silent retreat we are without distraction, disturbance, and conflicting responsibilities. Silence enters the psyche and heart, and brings forth the natural clarity, openness, and availability of our awareness.
The first step in a silent retreat is to not rush into the creativity. Give ourselves, our attention, to the gifts of the silence. Typically people rush into their creative process thinking the silence is a nice background. No, silence is more than a background. In meditation, silence touches our inner stillness. It is from here real answers come. When coming into retreat we want to take some hours or, if possible, days for the silence to clear a way, cleanse best places for buying airline tickets our internal laboratory, empty our writer's page, remove our emotional backlog so real creativity, new ideas can come forward. The creative spirit is present. It is everything else that is also present that is the problem. Silence can break open the fortress of our rationality and practicality. The fresh air of silence is beautiful to breathe. Smell the fragrance of life without the busyness and noise of the world. Here is our creativity. It is very powerful to spend time in the source of our creativity, our inner stillness. We cannot be in this inner school of being too often or too much.
The second step is when silence, best places for buying airline tickets intention, imagination, intuition all work together. They form the inner setting, the platform where the new is really new and not just a new covering for something old and tried. Seclusion, nature, meditation get us out of our routine, out of the box for peak experiences. We want to dream without fear of judgment or criticism. In silence, our soul communicates to us. When great writers sit down to write, they crash through the wall of self into the vast silence. Here pen and paper dance, fight, struggle, best places for buying airline tickets and dance again until there is surrender and sweetness. Silence finds the divine wisdom in each of us.
Step three is when the creative process and the practical world come together. Silence can help here as well. We don't want to rush into putting our inspiration into production. Let us hold the new in our hands and heart silently and let it sit for a while. If it is true, a path will unfold. The silence is the perfect scale for measuring truth. Silence brings us to the place inside best places for buying airline tickets where creativity grows from our true ground of being. Our left and right brain, intuitive and intellectual knowing, best places for buying airline tickets light up, weave, and crisscross all borders and boundaries in silence. When quality, life serving, purposefulness is sought, silence releases best places for buying airline tickets the heart intelligence and chemistry necessary. A new world is being born out of the frontier of inner silence and creative wisdom.

Meditation is a mystery to many in the Western world. best places for buying airline tickets Sure, we've all heard of it, but most say they "don't have time" to slow down for it and others say they simply best places for buying airline tickets don't know how or they've tried it and couldn't do it "right."
The field of positive psychology operates from the premise that we ought to acknowledge both the light and the dark sides of life. It focuses on positive elements of life such as character strengths, positive emotion, resilience, purpose, positive relationships, and creative best places for buying airline tickets achievement.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." This well-worn expression seems, at first, to make sense. I mean how can you grow and develop as a person if you don't learn from your mistakes?

A great reminder of the power of stillness, of silence. I think most people avoid silent spaces in their lives because they are afraid of being seen as unproductive. We have to get past this notion of being busy= being productive! Neuroscience proves this wrong and yet our business culture refuses to catch up to the modern-day data. In silence, I often find the creativity to envision new ideas, along with the courage to think of them as real rather than daydreams.
To be wishing, just wishing, it is too childish naivete. Yet, even adults get fooled by ongoing best places for buying airline tickets trends, touting to be some sort of "Secret" book, or $10,000.00 tag, week long life motivation, ending with barefoot walk on charcoals.
Oh, the busy mind...simple peace in the silence of the heart...its not complicated, its free, its a journey from thinking to being...awareness is a beautiful thing...its nice to be free of the thick filter of our own thoughts and see another, life, beauty...such folksy best places for buying airline tickets things can be fun..simple joys of life...wishing you well...

Amid reports that Katie Holmes bought Suri Cruise a $24,000 playhouse as one of her Christmas gifts this year, of course, accusations that she and Tom Cruise are spoiling her are starting delta airlines website to pop up as well.
And the rumored $24,000 playhouse (it has running water and electricity, and even a media room) only makes up about half of the amount that was spent on gifts for Suri, because the grand total apparently delta airlines website comes in around $49,000. (And Daddy's supposedly getting Suri a pony .)
While almost $50,000 is a small fortune to most people, it's pretty much chump change to Tom and Katie, so it's really not all that surprising that they're willing to shell out a decent amount of cash to make their little girl happy.
My son is 6-years-old just like Suri (they're only one month apart), and this year, my husband and I went a little delta airlines website bit overboard on gifts for him. He's getting everything on his list, and while we didn't spend anywhere remotely near $24,000, (I wouldn't be working delta airlines website today if we had that kinda dough), we did purchase a few pricier items for our little guy.
And our reasoning delta airlines website was pretty simple -- this may be one of the last years that he truly believes in Santa Claus , and we want to savor every last ounce of the magic we have left. He's our only kid (we're on the one-and-done plan), and this year could very well be the last time he wakes us up at the crack of dawn on Christmas morning delta airlines website and races downstairs to see what good old St. Nick left him -- and we just can't bear the thought of him being disappointed.
He was a good boy all year, and he's definitely on the nice list, so Santa is bringing him everything he asked for. And if that makes us bad parents in the eyes of some, so be it. We'll take a little extra criticism in exchange for the look of pure joy on our son's face any day. And I'm guessing Tom and Katie feel that way too.
I agree to a certain extent. I dont think that we should give kids EVERYTHING they want simply because they ask for it. The policy in our house is one or two "big" things they asked for and a few smaller things to keep them entertained.
delta airlines website This year I went overboard too for my 3 and 5 year old. Maybe a little to much according to my husband. The last few years has been really tough with my grandma having cancer and my mom's illness I wanted this to be the ultimate Christmas for everyone. Sometimes its okay as long as you can pay rent/ mortgage in January.
I feel the EXACT same way!! I have a 6 year old and we did almost the same thing - we've gotten him everything on his list and then some just because this is the primary age (in my opinion) of his Santa beliefs. He's very aware of things changing and his friends' influence - and is starting delta airlines website to question. I wanted to give him one last hurrah for his Christmas list and Santa. Obviously, from here on out, we'll still make it very special for him- but I'm hoping that he'll still help me out in keeping the Santa magic for his little brother and sister. He's a very sweet kid, so I think he'll enjoy that. I sort of look forward to having his "secret" help in making sure our Elf on the Shelf finds a new place every morning. If we can get another year or two out of keeping him excited about Santa, then that'll be great - but somehow I feel like doubt is creeping in....he's asked me a few questions about things his older cousins have been telling him. So sad. :(
I agree on the spoiling! Growing up I always had one or two "big" things and then a bunch of smaller gifts. That's what we've done with my stepkids. They have one main present and then they'll get a bunch of little stocking stuffers as well. What helped was not only did the in-laws help with the presents but we also started buying in November. There were some things that my fiancee wanted to give to the kids right away but i said WAIT SAVE IT FOR CHRISTMAS!! That way it makes it seem like we a bought a lot of stuff for them, LOL
I give my daughter anything she wants that I can afford. She makes good grades, treats me with respect, and takes care of her things. If I was a multigazillionaire shed have a better playhouse than Suri, and a whole herd of ponies.

It’s not like wooing Taylor Swift would be hard. She’s practically written the manual into each of h
Taylor Swift's rise to fame has been transcendent. She has sold over 26 million albums, and she's barely 23 years old. For context, 26 million is a number that most of Swift's peers will only experience when tabbing up the milligrams of salt imbibed through Top Ramen broth during their previous four years of education. She stole our hearts as a wide-eyed country girl just trying to find love in this crazy, messed-up world, complete with a mousy face and blonde curled locks, strumming simple guitar riffs while simultaneously bucking bales of hay and riding a wild stallion across a quintessential American prairie. Or so we assume.
She defines innocence in a popular culture where characters like Lindsay Lohan plead guilty to inarguable car crashes and where mothers who force-feed their daughter Mountain Dew, not so subtly renamed "go-go juice," are rewarded with reality san francisco vacation packages TV shows.
She doesn't wear short skirts, she wears T-shirts. She's not the cheer captain, she's up in the bleachers. She's fearless. She's annoyingly wholesome and 100 percent All-American. She's the kind of girl that mothers want their sons to date and the kind of wholesome crooner that won't cause Nana to cringe when her songs come on the radio.
She wants so badly to be in love, she sings about it in every one of her damn songs, asking as basic and idiotic questions as, "Why you got to be so mean?" (If you have to ask, you clearly don't deserve an answer.)
Even if she did know he was trouble when he walked in, it didn't stop her from dating playboy musician John Mayer and going on to write a song titled "Dear John," san francisco vacation packages which bemoaned her heartache over being dumped.
It's unclear whether she dates aggressively in order to have material for her songs or because she loses interest after about five minutes. Regardless, America just wants nay, needs this girl to find the other half of this heart-shaped amulet.
Everyone in America knows exactly what kind of man she needs: A man of values. A man who sticks up for what he believes in and is not afraid of criticism. A man who can match her annoying wholesomeness with some of his own.
The similarities between the two are striking, to say the least. Trusting relationships with men have been hard to come by for Tebow as well; he was traded after giving the Denver Broncos more media coverage than they've san francisco vacation packages experienced in years and forced to play second and sometimes third fiddle as a strange quarterback/fullback/halfback hybrid in New York. Hardly a nurturing relationship. san francisco vacation packages And courting other teams may prove fruitless.
It's not like wooing Taylor Swift would be hard. She's practically written the manual into each of her songs. She's fond of kissing in the rain, sneaking out late, doors opened for her and a little 2 a.m. name-cursing, just to keep things interesting. She's looking san francisco vacation packages for that roller-coaster kind of rush where she never knew she could feel so much. And really, who isn't?
So why can't Tim Tebow just see, that she is the one for him? Seriously. Each of them define san francisco vacation packages what it means to be All-American. They are two nice, wholesome, good-looking kids just trying to stay true to themselves while following san francisco vacation packages their dreams in the sick, twisted world of celebrity.

I think it is pretty amazing that AIPAC is keeping mum on the fact that Obama has nominated a Jew hater and Israel basher to serve as the next Defense Secretary. As I've said before, Hagel's appointment is a far greater threat to the US military than it is to Israel. But still, it is pretty obscene that Obama is getting away with appointing this character to serve as the Pentagon chief.
thrifty car rental cincinnati airport Today, the estimable Adam Kredo at the Washington Free Beacon reported another classic Hagelian anti-Israel slur and libel. Back in 2003 he gave an interview to his hometown paper saying that Israel "keep[s] the Palestinians caged up like animals."
And of course, this is only one of countless examples of Hagel's animus towards the Jewish state and its Jewish supporters in the US... Israel is better off expanding its own defense industries than depending on Hagel for spare parts.
As to the US military, ... the movement to assign women to frontline combat unit is not about advancing women. It is about destroying the US military . The fact that Obama didn't even need for Hagel to enter office before taking his first swipe at the military thrifty car rental cincinnati airport shows just how grandiose his plans for gutting US military capabilities in his second term are.
To be clear, as a woman who served as an officer in the IDF for 5 and a half years, and worked as an embedded reporter with an all male US infantry unit in Iraq, I have to say that I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with women serving in combat. But the purpose of last week's decision wasn't about permitting women to fight on the battlefield. They already do. It was about social engineering and weakening the esprit d'corps of the US military. As Saul Alinsky taught his followers the goal is never what you say it is. The goal is always the revolution.
But that doesn't mean we and our supporters in the US should keep silent about their hostility just because we know we can't block their appointments. By pointing out their radicalism, we are at a minimum sending out the necessary warning about what their future plans will likely involve. And that is important, because the more they are criticized the weaker they will feel.
The mark of the beast is real This is actually quite scary. Scary in that we have people deemed sane

A BELCO spokesperson said: The Electricity Supply Trade Union [ESTU] held a meeting beginning at 8 a.m. this morning in the Company traveling headquarters car park involving both Bermuda Gas and BELCO employees.
At issue is the ESTU's objection to Bermuda Gas' implementation of a biometrics hand scanning time-keeping system. The system was implemented at the end of December for all employees, traveling union and management. The benefit of this new system is that it integrates with the payroll system, thereby providing greater efficiency.
The ESTU opposes the use of biometrics. Following a meeting between traveling the ESTU executive and management this morning, the two sides agreed to suspend the biometrics system and discuss a new method moving forward.

Biometrics is an ethical minefield and is considered by many to be a threat to privacy and individuals ability to maintain the security of their identities. I have been there and it is a HIGHLY traveling QUESTIONABLE security practice. An opponent once told me, A driver s license or password is evidence of your identity. A fingerprint or hand print IS your identity. Reply InquiringMindsWannaKnow says: January 29, 2013 at 12:45 pm

Why should a new method be discussed??? if they don t like this new system, traveling then these workers(?) should be prepared to give up their cell phones and rely on land lines; give up their Ipads and every other technological advance oh no. Reply Joonya says: January 29, 2013 at 11:48 am
It is so amazing how stupid some people think,because here it is people want to critize B.E.L.C.O traveling but as soon as your lights go out you want them,or if there is a major hurricane and it looks like you are going to be out for weeks without power,B.E.L.C.O becomes your saviour.
B.E.L.C.O employees have every right to be up in arms about this new system and I say this not based on all the comments above.this is a move that is no different from the mark of the beast and falling into a system that is bigger then the picture being painted here.
There has to be another way to be held accountable then to be using these new methods of scanning body parts,the mark of the beast is real and we dont need to be a part of it for as long as we can stay away from it. Reply DarkSideofTheMoon says: January 29, 2013 at 12:17 pm

What possible grounds for objection could the union have. These poor excuse for union leadership, that we have these days, does more to harm the economy than aid in workers traveling rights. They just prove my point, more and more, that they are obsolete and serve no useful purpose. This is beyond the bizarre. Reply Serious though says: January 29, 2013 at 12:00 pm
Combine that with the lost productivity, extra overtime costs occurred traveling when covering workload, and the order value of the contracts lost due to delays in delivery, and you can clearly see how just a few minutes lateness can really affect your bottom line. Reply Ann says: January 29, 2013 at 12:16 pm
I think you have to look at it a bit deeper. If they come in to work 10mins late but they stay work for an extra 30mins are they still deducted the 10mins worth of pay that they came late. Reply Yng Black Mind says: January 29, 2013 at 12:04 pm
I agree with you. It seem s that many are brainwashed to the fact that anytime an issue comes up, automatically it s the workers fault.I see this every time I come on Bernews when there is a dispute. Everybody slams the worker before traveling knowing the facts. People act like business owners somehow live to a high standard traveling than others. The funny thing about this, is that if people do the research, you would see business owners are just as shistey as anyone else. Reply Verbal Kint says: January 29, 2013 at 1:11 pm
I agree with you both. When the people who are all for this have to give a fingerprint to go to work, they will feel differently. Before someone says, You have to give a fingerprint for some jobs. the answer to that argument is you have the option to give your fingerprint to get employment. This was done retroactively without consultation. It s bad business and there are other means to identify people. Despite the common argument, this is usually done to cut employer costs.

you can bet if my company chose to use bio-metrics I would ARRIVE on time everyday and you can bet I would LEAVE on time everyday too. Currently I work approximately 2 to 3 hours overtime nightly without traveling compensation. Reply DreamCatcher says: January 29, 2013 at 12:59 pm
