Traveling with Pets: America's Newest Phenomenon? : We Said Go ...

Posted by admin on Friday, May 25, 2012 ? 1 Comment?

We invited Lisa Porter to share about this new pet travel phenomenon. George and I were shocked at a hotel when nearly everyone was there with their dog! We are seeing more and more pets on planes and in restaurants. Lisa Porter, founder and CEO of Pet Hotels of America,? is an advocate of traveling with pets and works with companies and organizations within the hospitality, travel and pet industries to improve amenities and policies, and increase public support.

More than 35 percent of all Americans own a pet and these figures are on the rise. Of those, nearly 50 percent consider their pets as family according to the American Veterinarians Medical Association. So, as the snow melts and people begin making summer travel plans, many are including their four-legged family member. This is something Pet Hotels of America surmised would happen a year ago when it launched, with the simple goal to make traveling with pets in America easy and fun.

Pet Hotels of America serves as a one-stop travel website for people to reserve at any of its 25,000 pet-friendly hotels, book a car that allows pets, and view airlines? pet policy pages and reserve a flight. Travelers also can find kennels, pet sitters, pet-friendly parks and beaches, restaurants, veterinarians, groomers and everything else that is pet friendly in any U.S. city.

?We found that most travelers are a bit nervous the first time they travel with their pets because it used to be such a hassle to find a hotel or even a place to eat,? said Lisa Porter, CEO, Pet Hotels of America. ?Those days are gone. Now they can travel with ease.?

As a second incentive to take Sparky along, many are finding traveling with pets to be less costly. The price tag for boarding a pet ranges from $25 to $60 per day, depending on the amenities and services the facility provides. Pet-friendly hotels however charge only a $25 to $100 fee for the entire stay and some don?t charge at all.

While on the road, travelers may find facilities and activities that don?t accept pets, such as most museums and indoor-only restaurants. Additionally there may be times when travelers need some alone time. In this case, travelers will be relieved to know that dropping Sparky off for the day isn?t so bad at such facilities as Pet Suites in Aliso Viejo where she?ll be munching on frozen peanut butter toys and enjoying a therapeutic spa treatment while they are reliving the famous ?Checker?s Speech? at the nearby Nixon Library.

In researching nearby kennels and doggie daycares as listed and mapped on Pet Hotels of America, travelers will soon find that not only are hotels vying for their pet-friendly business, but so too are kennels and daycares offering increasingly more and better amenities.

?We began our website thinking that finding a pet-friendly hotel was all people traveling with pets needed,? said Porter. ?We learned quickly though that they also want to find pet-friendly parks, beaches, restaurants, pet events, veterinarians, pet shops and everything else that?s pet friendly without having to scour multiple websites, newspapers and magazines.?

Wanderlust types unsure of where to vacation will discover that Pet Hotels of America presents myriad places to go that are perfect for pet travelers. Take Tampa for example. There are 65 dog parks?some at fence-enclosed beaches. After a day of running with the big dogs, Sparky and his owner will definitely want to enjoy happy hour with a $5 martini and a plate of Voodoo Shrimp at the GrillSmith.

Or, for those who want to enjoy the Southern California sun, Huntington Beach is a prime vacation destination. Huntington Beach Dog Park, Huntington Beach Central Park, Bolsa Chica State Beach Campground, Alice?s Breakfast in the Park and The Park Bench Cafe are just a taste of what this pet-friendly beachside community offers pet travelers.??Travelers can even wander down the coast to Imperial Beach where they may be able to catch the Loews Coronado Bay Resort?s Surf Dog Competition, featuring such surfing dog celebrities as Nani and Ricochet.

While America is becoming increasingly pet-friendly, travelers still need a helping hand on what places will accept pets and their policies, where to eat and what places and events allow pets. The good thing is, now more than ever, pet owners have a choice.

For Christians, Pentecost signifies gift of the Holy Spirit, the birth of the church

Tomorrow is Pentecost. It is one of Christianity's three primary festivals. However, unlike the other two, Christmas and Easter, there is no tree to decorate, no cookies to bake, no cards to send, no eggs to dye, no marshmallow Peeps or chocolate bunnies to purchase, no stockings or baskets to fill. Pentecost is the least commercial of the church's holidays. But its proclamation is vitally important and its power is deeply spiritual.

Pentecost has its roots in the fertile soil of Judaism. Ancient Israel observed a Pentecost (literally meaning "50th day") after Passover.

It commemorated the gift of the Law at Mt. Sinai.

An historic event is described in the New Testament, Acts 2:1-21. It occurs 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, from death to lLife. Please read about it for yourself sometime during the next 24 hours.

People from many nations come together in Jerusalem. Suddenly, there is a roar like the rush of a mighty wind. Tongues, as flames of fire, appear. Astounded, this great diversity of folk hear of God's powerful deeds in their own native languages. And the Apostle Peter quotes the Prophet Joel: "God declares, 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh ... Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'"

For Christians, Pentecost signifies the gift of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church. That day 3,000 believers are added to thecommunity of faith. There is a dramatic, dynamic realization ofGod's presence and God's

power. It is good news to celebrate.

At the church I pastored in Ohio, a few members of the congregation would show up a day or two before Pentecost and fill the flower boxes at the front of the building with bright red geraniums. We would hang white Heavenly Dove symbols on red banners in the sanctuary.

On Pentecost Sunday many people would wear red clothing to worship. It was a grand and festive occasion.

So, here we are, on the 50th day of proclaiming Christ's resurrection, Pentecost.

We are not abandoned; we have an advocate. We are not helpless; we have a counselor and comforter. We are gifted with and empowered by God's Holy Spirit. And, we rejoice. Let's gather as God's people tomorrow in church to celebrate this good news.

Berniece Ayers Hall provides this poignant poem for us to ponder:

"As long as pilgrims of this Earth

Can turn from wars and things

To celebrate a baby's birth

And know the joy He brings;

As long as through the halls of death

Where grieving millions grope,

People catch the glad, victorious breath

Of Easter's shining hope;

Let us recall an upper room,

Warm hearts and eager feet

That sped to light a world of gloom.

The news they bore, how sweet!

Would Christmas, Easter, not be lost

Indeed, without a Pentecost?"

Tom Shifflet is a retired pastor of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

The five stages of launching a successful Internet startup | Site ...

Every Internet startup goes through five distinct stages on the way to making money and succeeding. This article shows you how to identify and guide an Internet startup through each stage and succeed early.

Startups can be any type of enterprise ranging from a blog about baking, to an affiliate marketing website, to an eCommerce store. Whatever your startup does, it will go through the same five stages on the way to success.

Identifying and understanding each of these stages in your own business can help you to tackle the right business challenges at the right time.

If you are thinking about starting an Internet business, or have just started one, then it is likely that you already know that coming up with a good idea, and identifying a need or niche to fill is crucial - so I won't rehash that here.

Instead, I'm going to look at Internet startups from a different angle. I'm going to tell you what you "experience", what to look out for, and where to find more information once you've identified where in the business life-cycle your enterprise is.

1. Your Internet startup is launched

Once you've had your business brainwave and put in the sleepless nights putting everything together, building a website, researching the competition, learning about the market, it comes time to launch your business.

Characterized by: Lack of customers and traffic. Little to no revenue. Technical issues. Bugs. Procedural problems. Poor design. Poor implementation.

Strategy: At this point, you need to work hard to ensure that the visitor or customer experience is improved at an exponential rate. Recognize that it is often not possible to make a startup perfect out-of-the-box, and endeavor to eagerly take on advice and criticism in order to improve your business offering.

For a blogger this could mean, rethinking your writing style. For an affiliate marketer, this could mean offering more high quality content with less advertising. For an eCommerce site, this could mean upgrading to a better quality eCommerce shopping cart platform.

Further reading: In this early stage of your startup, everything should be about learning. Learn whatever you can. Follow people in social media. Read news articles. But, above all, learn from the practical experience of running your own Internet startup.

Here are some resources you'll find useful:

2. Your Internet startup is operational

With many if not most of the bugs ironed out, some more efficient procedures in place, and a bit of experience, you are ready to start operating in earnest.

Characterized by: Low traffic. Low income. Occasional bug fixes. Cosmetic improvements to the site.

Strategy: Reach out to your niche. Seek to make relationships with influential people in your industry. Make connections and strategic business alliances.

Often marketing directly to your customers can be too expensive for an early stage startup. It can be far more rewarding to connect with people who have greater trust and authority in the market and get them to evangelize your business.

Further reading:
If you want to learn more about how to make industry, niche and strategic connections online, then the following articles and resources will help:

3. Finding clients and building a revenue stream

With some decent industry connections and a bit of trust built up with some influential people, bloggers, entrepeneurs, journalists and news sites, you can start to market to your customers in earnest.

Characterized by: Low traffic. Low revenue. Frustration at inability to penetrate the market. Frustration at not being able to get sufficient coverage or generate "buzz".

Strategy: Marketing. Marketing. Marketing. Do everything possible to drive sales and revenue.

It's at this point that many startups close their doors because they didn't focus exclusively on building a solid stream of revenue. Without an income sufficient to meet your operational costs (yes, this applies to bloggers too) then your startup is not sustainable in the long run.

Further reading:
If you want to learn more about Internet marketing, driving traffic, and converting with a high ROI (Return on Investment) then these articles and resources will help:

4. Nurturing and encouraging growth

If you have done a good job of marketing, advertising and promoting your Internet startup then you can shift the business marketing campaigns up a gear.

Characterized by: Increased revenue. Increased traffic. Potential technical problems - scalability, hardware, etc. Unsolicited coverage and social buzz.

Strategy: Marketing. Marketing. Marketing. Start diversifying your marketing strategy to include existing fans, followers and customers. Offer promotions, discounts and deals. Get into the news. Leverage previous successes to gain additional coverage. Build further trust and authority.

Improve and upgrade. It is likely that up 'til now you haven't had a moment to implement all the new features and system improvements the business needs. Now is the time. Invest income back into the business.

Scale, and grow.

Further reading:
With your business starting to achieve real growth and financial stability, you'll have to think carefully about the direction you want to take. The following resources and articles can help:

5. Competing in the market

Arriving on the stage, you will be greeted by stiff competition in your market. It's likely that there are a few competitors none too happy that your growth has eroded their market share. This is where it gets fun...

Characterized by: Strategic business decisions. Competitive research and analysis. Focus on both existing customer or fan base as well as new opportunities for growth.

Strategy: Don't neglect the customers, readers, fans and followers who got you where you are. Don't diversify unless you know that you can continue to meet the needs of the people who constitute the livelihood of the business.

With one eye firmly on your existing customers, look around for growth opportunities and strategic moves that can help to out-compete other businesses in your industry.

Remember that no business is immune to change. Especially Internet businesses. If you don't continue to adapt and grow, your customers will eventually be drawn elsewhere.

Take a break. Take some family time. Celebrate a job well done. Then, get back to work.

Further reading:
If your business is operating successfully, but you are looking to grow further then the following articles and resources may help:

What stage is your Internet startup in? What tools, strategies, services and business techniques have you used to help you succeed online? Share your advice in the comments or join the conversation on Twitter and LinkedIn.

Egypt Elections 2012: Run-Off Set Between Muslim Brotherhood, Mubarak's Last Prime Minister

CAIRO -- Partial results from Egypt's first genuinely competitive presidential elections announced Friday showed the candidate of the powerful Muslim Brotherhood leading with a narrow edge in a five-way race.

This is likely to bring Mohammed Morsi to run-off elections scheduled for June 16-17 but leaves the question wide open as to whether he will win.

Egyptians voted Wednesday and Thursday to choose their first president after last year's popular uprising that ousted ruler Hosni Mubarak.

Contending for second place are Mubarak's last prime minister Ahmed Shafiq, moderate Islamist Abdel-Moneim Abolfotoh and leftist Hamdeen Sabahi, whose surprise last-minute surge brought a new element to a contest that looked like it was going to pit Islamists against former regime officials.

Across the country, election workers cracked open the transparent ballot boxes ? sealed by serial-numbered plastic bands to ensure they had not been tampered with ? and began working their way through the paper ballots. Ballots from 18 of Egypt's 27 governorates had been counted by mid-morning on Friday.

The Brotherhood is hoping for a presidential victory to seal its political domination of Egypt, which would be a dramatic turnaround from the decades it was repressed under Mubarak. It already holds nearly half of parliament after victories in elections late last year.

Results showed drops in the group's popularity since then, with the ballots cast for Morsi significantly fewer than the number the Brotherhood's party received in parliamentary elections. In several provinces, Morsi came in second or third place.

Many Egyptians who said they have voted before for the Brotherhood said they were let down by the group's hunger for power and poor performance in parliament. However, the group has a formidable ability to mobilize voters, and it was unclear how many disappointed Brotherhood voters chose another candidate or just did not cast a ballot.

The group's political arm said in a statement that Morsi is going to enter a runoff with Shafiq, which means another round of highly polarizing campaigning, since the Mubarak-era official is strongly opposed by leaders of the protest movement which were behind the revolution.

So as to give up smoking, you ?

So as to give up smoking, you should start out with a aspire to quit. It can be pointless to try the various methods available should you have no major intention of kicking the habit of. Not every smoker wants to stop. Whilst there are some who attempted but failed, you can also get those who have no objective to quit. To the latter group, we can simply wish you virtually all ?Happy Smoking and You should Get Care?.

Generally we hear smokers stating they intend to stop smoking cigarettes, but the next time you observe them, you?ll still see cigarettes hanging from their mouth.

If we want to give up smoking effectively, isn?t enough to merely state, ?I wan to stop smoking. inches You need a great reason. And it must be a sound reason to make you committed, determined and enthusiastic to accomplish the duty. With a strong and significant reason, the odds for success are generally greatly increased.

Let?s take a look at some common reasons given by people who wish to stop smoking:

Reason 1: Smoking cigarettes Is a Very Terrible Habit This is apparently like an acceptable reason however in reality, it is quite difficult for us to psyche themselves into action as we both know that individuals are creatures regarding habits. There are a lot of our other bad habits that many of us do not make a complaint about. So why make a publicity over this?

If perhaps one has to address this particular bad habit, then what about the many some others like picking your nasal while waiting for typically herbal legal buds the traffic lights to choose green, delete word washing your hands after coming to the toilet and also going to bed with out washing your feet?

In person, It is best to better search for some better reasons to quit smoking.

Second reason: Cigarette smoking Is Bad For Health and fitness This is one more that is designed for failure. Of course , everyone, both smokers and no-smokers alike understand that cigarettes are detrimental to health. Yet that doesn?t make everybody scramble to kick this kind of unhealthy habit. Exactly why? That?s since the damage would not show up quickly.

Reason 3: I simply Had a Large Heart Attack yesterday In this care, you had better quit. You must be a world-class moron the actual leading village fool understand what.

Designed for smokers, ?Seeing believes?. Such a life-threatening situation might surely convince them in which smoking is extremely harmful to the health.

4th reason: Smokers Are Not Welcome By simply Others What occurred if your boss or if your mother-in-law could hardly tolerate your smoking habit anymore? Is the fact that a strong sufficient reason to stop? Or what if your office is situated in the no-smoking building? Certainly is the inconvenience of needing to go down for a smoke an encouraging factor that you can leave?

Or perhaps the girl you might be getting all enthusiastic about dislike individuals who smoke? Pertaining to lucky you, it is actually she with no one else. Could you, for that reason quit smoking as a result of the woman?

The planet is promoting. No-smokers are now standing up along with making a public declaration about their displeasure in the direction of smoking. This demand from customers has triggered rulings just like no-smoking restrictions at purchasing complexes and air-ports, no-smoking section on restaurants, no-smoking regulations during travel arrangements, no-smoking rooms within hotels etc.

The particular situations indicated above perform provide a strong cause for quitting, even though decision to take action is a result of external demands rather than one?s very own free will. The choice to do this is due to external challenges rather than one?s individual free will. In such a way, there is a certain degree of resentment and reluctance for the actual smoker to quit. Obviously this will likely create another burden in one?s effort to quit cigarettes.

After you get a powerful reason to quit tobacco use, you may have a go with the stop smoking natural herbs quit smoking methods. They are particularly formulated absolutely help handle your withdrawal signs.

Google adds copyright takedowns to Transparency Reports, 1.2 million a month and growing

Image

Google has been publishing what it's dubbed Transparency Reports for some time now -- detailing things like government requests to remove content from search results or requests for users' information -- and it's now added another big chunk of data to them in the interest of full disclosure. Starting today, you can see the number of removal requests it receives from companies over copyright and piracy concerns. As you can imagine, there's a lot -- over 1.2 million in the past month alone, a number that Google notes is increasing at a substantial rate. Among those asking for takedowns, Microsoft is by far the leader, filing well over half a million requests all by itself in the past month (the film and music industries are also, of course, well represented). You can pour through all the results yourself at the source link below.

Long-term uncertainty remains in nuclear talks with Iran

Anyone banking on a big-win breakthrough in Wednesday's nuclear talks with Iran will likely find themselves in the same boat as investors who bet on an instant surge in the Facebook stock price last week. If there's value to be found in nuclear negotiations with Iran, then -- like an investment in Facebook -- it's likely to emerge over time. And in both cases, even the long-term outcome remains uncertain.

Officials on both sides seem to be tamping down expectations ahead of the meeting in Baghdad. "If we talk substantively on elements of a deal and agree to meet again in three weeks, Baghdad will have been a success," a senior U.S. official told Al Monitor on Monday. The spin ahead of the talks in recent weeks has been positive -- almost too positive for diplomats, who naturally prefer diminished expectations. At home, Iran's leaders are proclaiming a great victory in the willingness of Western powers to negotiate while Iran continues to enrich uranium, suggesting that they're preparing their public for a compromised deal that will be sold as a great victory. The Western narrative paints Iran's willingness to negotiate as a consequence of ever-tightening economic sanctions, implying that such pressure must be maintained to curb its nuclear ambitions.

There are some positive signs: Sunday's talks in Tehran between IAEA chief Yukiya Amano and Iran's nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili appear to have yielded an in-principle agreement, not yet inked or finalized, to expand the nuclear-watchdog agency's access to sensitive sites in Iran. Amano, who has taken a tough line in dealing with Iran, was upbeat, expecting a signed agreement "quite soon." But the IAEA talks are the undercard to the negotiations between Iran and the P5+1 (the U.S., France, Britain, Germany, Russia and China). Even if they improve the atmosphere for the Baghdad meeting, a breakdown between Iran and the P5+1 would likely imperil any progress made by the IAEA.

Then again, Wednesday's talks in the Iraqi capital -- a venue chosen by Iran -- are not an all-or-nothing affair. Last weekend's G-8 summit communique called on Iran to use the opportunity to engage "in detailed discussions about near-term, concrete steps that can, through a step-by-step approach based on reciprocity, lead toward a comprehensive negotiated solution, which restores international confidence that Iran's nuclear program is exclusively peaceful." In other words, the world powers see the Baghdad talks as part of a diplomatic process likely to unfold in the coming weeks, aimed at creating a sustainable momentum of concrete steps to peacefully resolve the standoff.

In Baghdad, the two sides will lay down their opening bids to define the sequence of reciprocal steps required to break the deadlock and create diplomatic momentum. And, obviously, they will present substantially different ideas of the steps each should take, and in what sequence. Bridging the gaps via workable interim proposals may take many more weeks or months of negotiation.

The immediate focus of the P5+1 appears to be on halting Iran's enrichment of uranium to 20% purity, a process that is ostensibly undertaken to create fuel for a medical-research reactor in Tehran, but which is substantially closer to weapons-grade material, by measure of reprocessing time, than the 3.5% uranium Iran was enriching for reactor fuel. Western powers will reportedly call on Iran to verifiably halt 20% enrichment and ship abroad its stockpile of such for conversion into fuel rods (which are difficult to turn into weapons-grade material). They'll specifically ask Iran to halt work at Fordow, the hardened facility built into a mountainside near Qom, where 20% enrichment has been under way since January. The site has been of particular concern to the Israelis, who fear it may be beyond the reach of their air force.

A number of senior Iranian officials, past and present, have indicated that Iran would be willing to do a deal over 20% enrichment, although whether and on what terms they'd meet all the demands laid out above remain to be seen. But what would Iran get in exchange for a deal to halt 20% enrichment? There lies the rub. Iranian leaders have made clear that Tehran sees the quid pro quo for doing so as an easing of sanctions, particularly the measures aimed at choking off Iran's oil exports due to take effect on July 1. "If those sanctions kick in, why would Iran make a deal now?" Carnegie Endowment for International Peace analyst George Perkovich told NPR on Tuesday. "They won't. I think they'd just say, well, hell, if you're going to punish us in any case, then why should I concede anything? So agreeing to suspend those sanctions will be a very important factor for Iran." But U.S. officials are stressing that concessions on 20% enrichment won't be sufficient to ease sanctions pressure. "Just hope the Iranians are not deluding themselves [that] they are going to get sanctions relief now," said the U.S. official who spoke to Al Monitor. "That's not going to happen at this stage."

Sanctions have been Washington's most important form of leverage over Iran, and it's unlikely to trade them away in exchange for interim agreements this early in the game. The step-by-step reciprocity approach, fashioned originally by the Russians, would require that the two sides agree on verifiable steps to make such moves gradual, but political pressures are such that the Obama Administration may not have the flexibility it may need to openly ease sanctions. Many of the U.S. measures have been imposed by Congress, which takes a dim view of nuclear compromise with Iran. And trying to reverse any pressure on Iran in an election year may prove challenging, particularly when Israel's leaders are openly skeptical of the diplomatic process.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that the bottom line for success is nothing less than agreement on the dismantling of Iran's uranium-enrichment capabilities, even to 3.5%. It's highly unlikely that Iran would agree to give up its right as a nonproliferation-treaty signatory to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, and it doesn't appear that it's being asked to do so by the P5+1. Still, expect Israel to push back fiercely against any move to relax sanctions pressure on Iran on the basis of interim agreements -- and also to try to set deadlines on diplomacy lest the Iranians use the process to simply buy time.

European leaders and diplomats appear to be searching for mechanisms to bridge the gap between what Iran expects if it gives up 20% enrichment and what Obama will politically be able to give. There's talk in Europe of delaying the implementation of some of the oil-related sanctions due to take effect in July, and allowing de facto work-arounds on some of the financial sanctions targeting Iran's banking sector -- all conditional on progress toward implementing confidence-building measures. But the E.U.'s consensus-based decisionmaking make that more difficult too.

Nobody is expecting a deal in Baghdad beyond another round of talks to be held within a matter of weeks. Nor are Western negotiators unaware of the pitfalls of an open-ended process that doesn't substantially alter the status quo. The key to meaningful progress may depend less on trust and accord, as much as it will be based on the shared sense that the alternative to a peaceful solution may be too ghastly to contemplate.
