Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Expect a gun fight at the not-so-OK Cabal
If you envisioned a more civil and bipartisan House in 2013, you might want to look beyond Wednesday, the first day of the session.
Several contentious issues will be debated, including whether representatives should be prohibited from bringing a firearm into Representatives Hall and adjoining areas.
Two years ago, the House's first action under then-Speaker Bill O'Brien was to lift a 40-year ban prohibiting any guns on the House floor. With that vote, the new policy allowed members to have firearms with them, provided they were concealed.
This month, the House Rules Committee voted along party lines, 6-4, to reinstate the ban. Democrats said doing so would simply be a return to the way the House had operated for nearly half a century.
One of their assertions was that guns should not be present when fourth-graders visit the House Gallery. When youngsters are in the building, said House Majority Leader Steve Shurtleff, it is their classroom, and guns should not be part of that environment.
House Republican leader Gene Chandler, however, said his caucus is not convinced the change would improve safety. He also said the proposal's reference to "adjacent areas'' is ambiguous.
"Are you talking five feet, 10 feet or 20 feet," he said, adding that it could lead to enforcement problems, particularly if the Senate does not adopt a similar rule, which it is not expected to do.
Several gun-rights advocates in the House have promised a vigorous floor fight over the change. It's worth noting, however, that the committee did not seek to change a provision that would forbid the searching of House members, which would essentially makes the prohibition subject to the honor system.

BUDGET WORK: House and Senate budget writers are not wasting time as they face a very challenging task: putting together a balanced, two-year spending plan in the face of slow growth in revenues and a surge in spending requests.
Work on the fiscal years 2014 and 2015 operating budget begins this week, with House Finance and Ways and Means committees meeting Wednesday after the House session.
The Senate Finance and Ways and Means committees will meet Jan. 8 for briefings by the legislative budget assistant and the Department of Revenue Administration.
The same day, the House Ways and Means Committee begins two days of briefings by public and private economic folks.
The House and Senate budget committees will meet Jan. 7 to hear presentations by representatives of the National Conference of State Legislatures, the legislative budget assistant, the N.H. Center for Public Policy Studies, UNH's Carsey Institute and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan this month told department heads to pare their requests for the next two years. The total increase in all state government spending would be about 19 percent under budget plans devised by department heads.
Revenue growth is not expected to reach 3 percent during the next fiscal year.
There are also some tax reductions enacted this year through business tax changes that will further reduce revenues, and several settlements involving the DHHS will cost the state tens of millions of dollars in the upcoming budget.
It is not a pretty picture.

MIXED SEATING: When the House convenes Wednesday, there will be no more segregation: Republicans and Democrats will be seated next to each other.
Republicans and Democrats have generally sat in their own sections, with Section 5 for the bad boys and girls of both parties. Well, not really, but that's the way it often worked out. House Speaker Terie Norelli decided to end all that.
"The November election sent a clear message from citizens that they have grown weary from the lack of cooperation in government. I believe that mixing Democrats and Republicans on the House floor is a change that will foster a spirit of cooperation among members regardless of party affiliation," Norelli said Friday. "It is my hope that, as we face difficult decisions over the next two years, we will find common ground and compromise for solutions to these challenges. Getting to know one's seatmate is another step toward bipartisan dialogue."

Fixings & Brackets
Every home needs shelving of various kinds in one room or another, usually in several. We must not forget the outbuildings either; sheds, garages and workshops need shelving if they are to be used to their full potential. Your nearest B&Q store has just about every kind of shelving you are ever likely to need. There you will find simple brackets to support your shelves. They come in many different designs all based on a simple angle bracket. One side fastens to the wall while the other bears the shelf. It is mostly the space inside the angle that provides scope for the designers artistry. You will also find wooden shelves pleasingly shaped at the outside edges complete with matching wooden supports.
We also carry a range of shelving units, designed to fit in convenient spaces such as corners. Glass shelving too, ideal for displaying prized ornaments in living rooms, are all to be found at B&Q. We have glass shelving for the bathroom too. For a contemporary look in your living room there are shelves with concealed supports. For those sheds and garages outside there is a range of choice in utility shelving.

I've been playing this game since before 2.3.9 back in 2010/2011 or so. The game was fun then, and the improvements since then have been awesome. It's a real-time strategy game that came out in the late 90s and has been open source for several years now. This game requires no super technical knowledge to install or run. Just download, install, run. That simple. For quick reference, it runs very smoothly on Windows 7 at 1080p resolution on a 6 year old Core2Duo CPU at 2.13 Ghz with 4 GB of RAM. Graphics are scaled properly to nearly any resolution you have, so it's not like trying to play an old DOS game at 1080p (yuck). The community on wz2100.net is helpful and plenty of common questions have already been answered on the forums there. There are usually 1 or 2 online games available in the multiplayer lobby, and it's easy to network the game on a home network, even cross-platform (Mac/PC) as long as you have the same version of the game installed on all machines connecting. If you like the basic gameplay, I totally recommend getting some map mods for the game to make things more interesting, although a good number of maps come with the game. It also has a campaign mode (with or without videos, it's up to you) for people who like that. Multiplayer (or skirmish) matches are quite customizable as far as difficulty and other options. There's lots more to say about the game, but I just wanted to give you some solid reasons to play it. So give it a go. :)
это же warzone2100, что тут ещё сказать)
Since Playstation it is favorite and legendary game! I love Warzone! ! !
The developers have had plenty of complaints about the AI to know. The behavior of trucks, mechanics and engineers is atrocious. It kills the best game I ever played. Losing a game because of trucks putting themselves in the line of fire is gutting. It is not military discipline and as cyborgs they do not have emotions. It remains a 3 to 4 star game. What a waste.

*Most states require individuals to complete 150 semester (225 quarter) hours in certain subject areas in order to be eligible to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam and/or obtain a CPA license. Walden's accounting programs can help graduates progress toward meeting those requirements. The B.S. in Accounting offers 120 quarter (80 semester) credit hours that include upper-level courses in topics such as financial accounting, auditing, taxation, and management accounting. The M.S. in Accounting and the M.S. in Accounting and Management offer 30 semester (45 quarter) credit hours, while the M.B.A. Accounting for Managers specialization offers nine semester (13.5 quarter) credit hours. These programs include graduate courses in topics such as financial accounting, managerial accounting, and legal and ethical accounting practices. This will require students to complete additional coursework to meet state requirements.
In each state, there are specific policies that must be followed when an individual is seeking to become a licensed accountant. Some states will not allow individuals who complete the Walden accounting programs to sit for the CPA licensing exams due to state-specific issues such as professional accreditation or face-to-face instruction. For information on the educational requirements for your state, refer to the state's Board of Accountancy or related agency.
Walden enrollment advisors can provide guidance about accountant licensure; however, it remains the responsibility of the individual enrolling in the program to read, understand, and comply with the licensure requirements in the state where he or she wishes to practice.
Walden University can make no representation, warranty, guarantee, or commitment that successful completion of a Walden program, or coursework for credit within a program, will make a graduate eligible to sit for a licensure exam or to obtain state licensure.

M.S. in Accounting students must complete five required core courses and an additional five courses to complete the Accounting for the Professional specialization.
An essential skill for nearly all accountants is the ability to effectively communicate with organizations to manage internal and external relationships. This course emphasizes the importance of communication in accounting and provides students the opportunity to practice using the tools required for effectual and efficient presentation of information while gaining critical-thinking, reading, and scholarly-writing skills. Students explore various written and presentational forms of communication that accountants use within organizational and managerial settings. Students examine techniques for developing and presenting white papers, memoranda used to communicate issues and recommendations to management, and financial and nonfinancial information. They learn about concepts in balanced communication coverage and how to adapt to constantly changing modes of communication, including social networking, blogging, and using professional organizations and training programs to their advantage. Through these activities, students gain a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the accountant as well as the ethical methodologies required to maintain a professional obligation to the community and their clients.
In the news, it is too often that we hear about cases of financial fraud and misconduct involving major corporations. It is a social and professional obligation of accountants to be concerned and knowledgeable on topics involving legal and ethical issues in accounting and financial reporting. In this course, students learn to appreciate this role and explore the various legal and professional responsibilities of which public and private accountants must be aware when developing financial statements and reports. They examine a variety of issues, such as the differences between statute and regulation and between common and statutory law. Students also assess the role of bankruptcy and its impact on business relationships. Through the extensive use of current and seminal case studies, students take a practical approach to examining the best practices of doing business in today's sociopolitical climate from a legal and ethical perspective.
Effective business managers use a variety of financial management tools as they seek to evaluate alternatives and make sound decisions. In this course, students analyze these tools, including the breakeven and cost-volume-profit analysis for model pricing and cost sensitivity, forecasting and cost prediction, variance cost analysis, relevant cost analysis, project valuation and prioritization using payback, rates of return, and discounted cash flow methods. Students sharpen their diagnostic critical-thinking skills and learn to construct effective, ethical, fact-based arguments, which are among the fundamental capabilities required for managerial decision making. Using relevant management articles, case studies, and topic analyses, students also examine how to align business needs with fact-based solutions, how to identify new opportunities, and how to manage and enhance an organization's competitive position.
One of the primary functions of the accountant's role is preparing internal accounting information that can be used by management for effective decision making and organizational performance. Students can gain a practical perspective into this role through case study review and analysis of pricing and contribution margin analysis, cost management and allocation, activity-based costing and throughput accounting, and inventory management. Students assess performance measurements, including key performance indicators, balanced scorecard, and forecasting. They explore operating and capital budgeting and financial planning techniques and become familiar with quantitative models and approaches used in management accounting. Through this course, students learn about the different departments and operating divisions within an organization and how they work individually and collaboratively to handle accounting responsibilities.
This course allows the learner to enhance and utilize advanced accounting research skills in order to investigate and review the current and emerging accounting issues and changes in promulgated accounting standards that could impact 21st-century business. The learner will examine a variety of up-to-date and relevant topical areas that are discussed in sources such as: the Financial Accounting Standards Board, International Accounting Standards Board, and Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of their studies in this course, learners will be able to anticipate changes in accounting standards, and analyze potential impacts for making informed decisions and recommendations to management.
Accountants and business managers must be astute and proactive in managing a business to combat the inevitable threat of operational and financial risks, including those involving credit, market, liquidity, reputation, technology, and legality. In this course, students assess the tools used by accountants and managers in managing these risks. They explore the various processes used to identify, analyze, and assess risks, and they learn the appropriate use of financial and operational controls to mitigate such risks. Additionally, students examine ways to implement techniques, such as developing a risk control matrix and using the concepts of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework to improve an organization's enterprise risk management.
Regulatory compliance involves the policies and processes that organizations use to ensure that they follow the rules and regulations in place by the firms that control financial activity in a given jurisdiction. In this course, students explore the facets of regulatory compliance, focusing on the role of accounting with respect to corporate governance within an organizational setting. They also focus on how organizations build transparency into their governance and compliance systems. Students review and explore the responsibilities of management in terms of compliance and auditing and explore the complex processes of checks and balances that comprise compliance systems. Students further develop their understanding of regulatory compliance through a review of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in addition to an evaluation of decisions made by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Corporation Accounting Oversight Board.
In this quantitative course, students examine the process by which accounting policies are formulated and modified. Students use current research and case analyses to make critical evaluations of fundamental accounting concepts and foundations, such as revenue recognition, lease accounting, and other current issues, in light of their theoretical, empirical, practical, and political aspects. Students demonstrate their ability to use promulgated accounting literature to improve their general decision-making and communication skills in the area of accounting as they engage in functional exercises and weekly discussions.
In this course, students are provided with tools, techniques, and insight to evaluate the potential for fraud within current operating and financial reporting systems. Students examine creative accounting techniques and red flags of fraud, such as the development of false financial statements; misuse of corporate resources; false revenue recognition; and fraud perpetrated for the benefit of third parties, shareholders, and managers. They explore special topics, such as the override of existing internal controls and absence of proper accounting documentation. Students also examine fraud audit standards, principles of legal evidence, and concepts of the Daubert Rule. Additionally, students examine strategies for identifying sources of securing evidence to prevent loss, corruption, and contamination.
Students in this course examine current topics in international standards for accounting, including financial statement presentation, auditing, and accounting for importers, exporters, and multinational corporations to gain a comprehensive understanding of the various perspectives involved in international accounting. Students examine foreign exchange rates and markets, controlled economy accounting, social responsibility reporting, inflation accounting, and international taxation and its impact on an organization's international financial statements. Additionally, students analyze issues in accounting for multinationals, including areas of accounting and financial reporting standards. They also conduct an evaluation of international accounting harmonization efforts, including those involving accounting standards, to acquire an appreciation of the importance of comparability in regard to international financial statements.
This specialization is designed to help prepare students for the CPA exam as well as the CPA profession. Blending accounting theory with its practical application, the coursework provides a solid foundation in problem-solving, managing risk, understanding the impact of regulatory compliance, and using accounting practices and tax strategies in a dynamic business environment.
M.S. in Accounting students must complete five required core courses and an additional five courses to complete the Accounting With CPA Emphasis specialization.

Students also explore how economic, social, and cultural forces influence tax policy.
In this course, students review content pulled directly from prior certified public accountant (CPA) exams on a variety of topics, including current accounting trends, managerial accounting, and regulatory issues.

They also explore the changing nature of international business and leadership. Students evaluate and discuss the concepts of sustainable business strategies, international trade, foreign direct investment, and regional economic integration in relation to leadership in a global environment.
This course explores systems thinking as a process whereby problems are viewed as individual components within a larger system. The course provides a framework for analyzing relationships within a system and for avoiding the risks associated with viewing problems in isolation.

Final Score: Detroit 34, Minnesota 24
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Reggie Bush totaled almost 200 yards in his Detroit debut and Matthew Stafford had two touchdown passes in the second half, as the Lions took a 34-24 victory over the Minnesota Vikings to open the season.
Bush, a free agent signing in the offseason, finished the game with 191 yards of total offense and a touchdown. He had 21 carries for 90 yards, while adding four catches for 101 yards and a score.
Stafford went 28-for-43 for 357 yards and two touchdowns, along with one interception for the Lions (1-0), who lost their final eight games last season to finish the 2012 campaign with a record of 4-12
A year removed from setting the NFL record for receiving yards in a season, Detroit wide receiver Calvin Johnson had a very pedestrian game, catching just four balls for 37 yards.
Minnesota's Adrian Peterson, last season's MVP, appeared poised for a big day as he took his first handoff 78 yards for a score. However, he was smothered by the Detroit defense the rest of the day, gaining just 15 yards on his next 17 carries. He did, though, have two rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown to go with four catches for 18 yards.
Christian Ponder had a tough day behind center as he went 18-for-28 for 236 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions, along with losing a fumble for the Vikings (0-1), who went 10-6 last season and lost in the first round of the playoffs.

Victoria Stilwell: How to Deal with Out-of-Control Barking

can you tell me how to stop a dog from pulling? i have a lab/border collie mix named cheyanne who's almost an angel until it's walk time. she goes insane when she sees another dog or person or car. (thats the only disadvantage about loving the car) i try to turn her around when she pulls, but cheyanne is completely happy with that and resumes her pulling in the other direction. I've tried vocal distractions, too. sometimes, we have to walk blocks in the opposite direction before she chills out enough to head back home when we see another dog in the street. any suggestions? we REALLY need your help!!!
Submitted by Erin | February 22 2010 | Permalink
Sara, obviously this is no answer to the root of the problem, but something that at least would make walking easier for you might be a gentle leader harness (gentle walker, they might be called?) or the harnesses that Victoria uses on her show (though I haven't figured what brand they are yet, when the dog pulls it feels like their front legs are going a bit up in the air.) At least you'll have a little more control and be able to keep Cheyanne safe.
Good question though - does Victoria actually read comments here and reply to them?
Submitted by Cindy | April 21 2010 | Permalink
Sara, your problem is two problems: 1. pulling on the leash 2. over-reactive to other dogs and movements
1. Go to YouTube and search for videos on teaching "Loose Leash Walking." There are quite a few. Practice it at home, alot, then "take it on the road," to not very distracting places, then build up to where your dog will walk with the leash hanging in a loop, not stretched tight between you.
2. There is a book, dvd and protocol called "Control Unleashed" by Leslie McDevitt. It is just for this "reactivity" problem. You teach the dog it's more rewarding to pay attention to you than the distractions. You teach them another dog is a cue to look at you. It can be very useful and very powerful.

Have you tried clicker / treat training in conjunction with turning in the other direction ? Dogs love treats for good behavior and work very well with clickers. Walk the dog in the other direction until calm. When calm, click and treat. Do this SEVERAL times. The dog will begin better behavior closer and closer to the car; you won't have to walk so far away. DO NOT click and treat until you get calm behavior. Let me know how it goes.
Submitted by laurie | June 30 2011 | Permalink
Hi.... I responded a moment ago. Remembered an episode which might help . Same idea ... click / treat: walk back to the door as if you were going back inside the house. Click/ treat when dog is calm for 5 seconds. Walk back to the car. Continue until the dog is calm at the car for 5 seconds... then click/ treat before alowing inside the car. Then click/ treat inside. *** Please have a doggie harness that clicks to seat belt inside the car. Click/ treat when secure inside the car.
**I think this will be a faster and more beneficial approach for both you and the dog

Walk your dog with 2 leads 1 on the collar and the second one attach to collar wrap the lead around the belly area and guide the dog with the first lead second one is the one you will correct the dog with as the dog pulls you take the second lead and pull with Little pressure for correction. A few times of feeling the pressure on the belly area the dog should stop pulling. Hope this works for you.let me know if I can help you or if it works.

Thanks for your comments. Victoria will be reading all the comments posted for her on TheBark.com, but because of her busy schedule she will not be able to reply. That said, it is possible she may address reader questions in a future Bark column.
Recently I started watching Victoria Stilwell's show. I like her common sense approach to dealing with mis-behaved dogs. Barking, can be a serious issue for dog owners and the neighbors. I too would much rather see someone follow the sound advice offered rather than remove the voice box of a vocal dog.
Submitted by Leslie | April 17 2010 | Permalink
Stillwell's advice for stopping barking does work....it certainly helped me with one of my Bostons who barked at (to me) unknown sounds. Bringing him inside when he did that did alter his behavior. The only hitch was me being consistent with the training.

My sister in law has 4 small dogs, 2 poodles and 2 chihuahas. When someone enters the home, knocks on the door etc. They go crazy! My sister in laws solution is to pick the dogs up and carry them, tell them to shut up, spank on the butt. If they are let go to continue they will get nippy. How can I get through to my sister in law that this method of training is not working and give her some better ways of training her dogs?
Submitted by Anonymous | August 22 2011 | Permalink
A good way i have found to stop my dogs getting exitable when someone knocks on the door is to door train them, this incudes asking the dogs to wait when the door is opened and when someone walks in untill released, it takes a lot of patience but is so worth it! If the dogs are biting/nipping people it proberly means they are a little uneasy about guests, maybe even scared so a dog's natural way is to get defensive and hitting the dog can only make that sort of responce get worse, because they will feel even more under threat. The dogs have proberly now learned that when people come into the house they end up getting smacked, this imediatly gives the dog a negative association with the guest causeing a more intence sence of un-ease around new people in the house. instead of this urge your sister in law to get the dogs to have a more positive experience around guests in the house this could be done buy the guest haveing the dogs faveriout treat or toy and just throwing it on the ground otherwise ignoring the dog. this makes the dog realise that guests are no threat because they do not interact with the dogs puting the dogs under pressure to greet guests; and the dog gets something it loves when a guest comes in the house!

Re "debarking" - The usual procedure is to take a snippet from each vocal cord just as a biopsy would be performed. It does not "take away their voice" - it decreases the volume - it sounds like a dog barking far away. Thus, when your dog is barking in your house, your neighbor will not will not be bothered. The dog can still communicate. You can hear them bark, whine and growl, and so can other dogs - just observe the reaction of one dog to a growling "debarked" dog. I have owned and do own both "debarked" and dogs who haven't been. The ones I have "debarked" I have done out of consideration of my neighbors in the urban environment I live in. Yes, just like any surgical procedure, no matter how simple it is, there are still risks, just as there are surgical risks (greater) when you spay or neuter your pet. There are barking problems that are easily solved, such as the attention getters or bored dogs. Take the time to do training such as tricks with your dog every day and your dog will be happier and calmer. Some dogs bark for recreation, and that is big problem. Barking is self reinforcing. What reinforcer are you going to find that is more rewarding than an intrinsic reinforcer? I challenge you to solve the excitement barking problem some dogs have for going on the walk (amongst other instances) - with the 'solution' for training the dog not to do that, urban apartment dwellers would never get their dog outside for the potty walk (and don't forget to scoop the poop!). Quit passing along the myth that "debarking" takes their ability to communicate away! Yes, you can have the surgery done where the voice box is removed, but that, if not medically necessary, does take away the voice and is cruel. Again, the normal and usual "debarking" surgery is similar to taking a biopsy of the vocal cords, and results in decreasing the decibel level.

I've had biopsies, and they're painful. Why the hell would you put a dog through that kind of pain just because you're too lazy to train properly?? That's disgusting. You have serious problems.
Submitted by Anonymous | October 9 2011 | Permalink
interesting though, that you have had painful biopsies and you're still alive, healthy and not in pain right now. I scraped my knees up pretty badly learning to ride a bike, but I wanted to learn somehow and knowing how much that hurt doesn't mean I wouldn't do it again. Beating your dog because you're ignorant is different from trying to be a responsible dog loving person living in a city. I love Victoria and her methods, but lets be realistic: the consistency and time required for success are not always realistic. I've been using her methods for three years to train my schnauzer and now the only person who can walk her without her going barking mad is me. This does not help me or save me embarrassment when I have to ask a neighbor to watch her or my husband to walk her. And it still requires a lot of work on my part to be effective three years later (god forbid I leave the house without treats) because every time someone other than me walks her it sets back my training again.

The risk of complications is very real; I've seen them happen. So out of consideration for the readers (protecting them from reading a justification for a surgery that can cause severe lifetime medical issues and death), it's okay to cut your fingers off then, right? Since we're so worried about being considerate?

If you live in an urban area and are concerned for your neighbors, why would you have a dog at all? Of course a dog is going to bark! I'm appalled that you would debark a dog just for the sake of your neighbors. If barking was an issue, you should have given your dog to a family that lives in a rural area where the dog can bark to his heart's content and not bother anyone. Or, if keeping your dog was so important to you, you could have moved to a rural area yourself. Owning and caring for any pet requires sacrifices from YOU, not your pet. Your selfishness proves you don't deserve to own a dog.

Most dogs who have been "debarked" suffer the rest of their lives with swallowing and breathing difficulties. Dogs bark! It's a fact, just like people are stupid. If you don't want to deal with barking, DON'T GET A DOG! It is the most ignorant selfish thing in the world to physically modify another living being to fit your own stupid desires.

Please think before becoming so judgmental. I have a rescue dog with terrible separation anxiety. We go to a vet/trainer ($400 a month) once a week, I have gotten her every toy, game, food-dispenser, etc. that I can find. It's been 2 years, and even with training and medication, those plug-in hormone things, walks, a bubble machine that keeps her busy for a few minutes, she barks just as much as when I brought her home.

Hi - My 6 month old black lab barks at my 5 year old mixed breed. How do I discourage that? He barks at us too and we are working on ignoring him them praising him when he is calm - but we don't know how to train our older dog to train our younger dog! The best I have come up with is to give our lab a 'time-out' when he barks - I will put him in a separate room for 20 seconds or so, but I am not sure he gets the connection. Thoughts? Thanks!

What I did to have my dog stop gulping her food was I put a tennis ball in her food dish, (my local shelter taught me this trick) get an adequate size food bowl where they can still manage to eat around the ball, I use this technique every time. It stops her gulping and slows her down. Otherwise I feed her with a food ball, they are interactive feeding toys where she has to roll it around so the food falls out the hole, the good thing about it is that the food only falls out a few at a time. First you have to show them and teach them how the food ball works or else they can't figure it out on their own. Good luck!

I thought debarking was now illegal. If not, it should be, just like cutting the dog's ears to make them stand up, or cutting the tail. Why do people have to alter everything to the exact way they want things? When are people going to learn to be humane?

Its not about being humane.. if you live in a close housing community which most people do then your neighbors can report you. The dog can be barking at any time of day and if the neighbor reports your dog for having constant barking problems then the humane society comes to your house and warn you. They can go as far as fining you and taking your animal so figure it out what would you want something to silence the barking or some humane society guy smacking you with a fine.

Shouldn't you worry more about having your dog taken away than being slapped with a fine?
Submitted by Anonymous | May 15 2012 | Permalink
the humane society cannot take your dog away because it barks a lot. However, they can educate you on ways to help curb the problem. contrary to pupular belief, Animal Control Officers do not take pleasure in taking dogs away from their families if the living situation is a good one. they only want to help the owner and the dog so the behavior does not become an even larger problem.

i have a 85 pound old english sheepdog who is a wonderful dog in every way except i cannot control his barking at the next door neighbor. I live in suburbia and the lots are small with chainlink fences. My dog goes to the dog park daily and goes for at least one walk in the mornings. My dog Rufus goes crazy when my next door neighbor plays fetch with his three dogs. Rufus stares at their back door and pants until he comes out of his house and barks until he is ready to collapse. He looks like he is going to have a heart attack. My house has a deck and it is diffcult to get downstairs and try to bring him in. I have tried the citronella anti-bark collar without success. Also, these 3 dogs next door live outside in a kennel at the end of their yard so they are always there. I am at my wits end and I don't know what to do, any suggestions?
Submitted by Dorothy | May 17 2012 | Permalink
It sounds like Rufus either wants to join in the game of fetch or at least run around with the dogs next door (maybe he wants to round them up!). Can they be safely introduced so he can join in future games. Some neighbours have gates between adjoining properties so the dogs can visit with each other during the day at alloted times.

We have a maltepoo, Molly who is 1 1/2 yrs old. She is obsessed when she goes out in our backyard. She immediately runs to the wall trying to smell/see the dog on the other side. It is a high block wall. She runs through the yard on the same exact path back and forth. She seems like it's an obsessive behavior, she does not respond to calling her, just keeps running as fast as she can. She will stop sometimes at the wall and sniff.

I have a two-year old Maltese we inherited from my best friend when she had a baby. We've been working with him over the last year and he is really becoming a member of the family. However we are at our wits end trying to figure out how to stop his excessive barking. He is extremely anxious and barks frantically every time he goes out in the backyard and hears the dogs next door, every time the doorbell rings, and every time he sees an animal on the tv. We tried the Treat for Quiet method, which only seemed to teach him to bark for a treat; I tried leashing him when company comes over, which worked well but is hard to keep him on the leash all the time and doesn't give either of us any freedom. I'm considering the citronella route, but wanted to ask if anyone has had success with that method or has other advice. He's so well behaved in all other areas, but the barking is not getting any better.

I'm sorry to hear about the deadline. I hope you have been allowed to keep your dog. I have a Pomchi. A chihuahua mix. Pooky is adorable. I love her to bits but she loves to bark like there's no tomorrow. I have been working with her for just a few months trying to get her to stop barking. It's working terrifically.
I had to teach her words: quiet, no, stop, as well as she already learned I'd snap my fingers or I'd say Oi! when she did things I didn't like. I thought her the words by giving her a treat when she was quiet and I'd say Quiet. Then I'd say to her as she ate the treat Good job being quiet.
I did the treats for "catching" each behavior. So she began to think about what I wanted when I said the word. I'd also say Quiet, or No in an assertive tone. Not an angry one. You're firm but not mad.
After she learned those words I began to teach her the sentence "No barking". I'd say it to her firmly. She wasn't barking when I said it. And then I gave her a treat and exclaimed happily "Good job for not barking!" So she connected things. When she barked but my other dog didn't bark I'd praise the other dog and give him a treat saying "Good job not barking".
I introduced Pooky to situations that made her bark and instruct her "Quiet." In a firm voice. If she stayed quiet I'd give her a treat. If she barked I said loud and firm "No!" Sometimes she'd bark and bark and bark, but I didn't let that make me feel bad. I just took a deep breath and keep teaching her.
I started just after Thanksgiving. Today was my best day ever. I am introducing "heel". I figured that teaching her to heel now will move her forward. Right now when I say Quiet and No Barking Pooky will usually sit waiting for a treat. Now I want her to walk past what made her bark.
Chihuahua's are really very smart. They just want to know what you want from them.
It really helps to "Catch" the behavior. When your dog is not barking say "quiet" then as you give the treat repeat happily "quiet". It will take only a few weeks for this to really work. When you feel she can understand Quiet. Then introduce her to what makes her bark. For Pooky it's someone knocking on the door. We are still working on that one but it was good for me to teach her that she'll get a treat if while she's barking I say "quiet" and she stops barking. When she caught on to how to stop barking that's when I began to train her outside.
I use Beggin' Strips. I give just little pieces. I hope that its not too late and you still have your little dog. Good luck.

I have a hound/lab mix who seems to share similar socialization experience(i.e., some bad early experiences) and reactive behaviors toward other dogs. Lucy's dog-reactivity issues did not really emerge until she was 2 years old. She's 3 1/2 now, and I've been working with our trainer on these and other fear-related issues since she was a year old.
Our trainer practices positive reinforcement methods, much like Victoria's method. Anyway, so maybe our experience will help you a bit:
First, take a moment to observe your dog's behavior -- and maybe find a trainer who can help you decipher her signals -- but, what I think you'll find is that your dog is exhibiting fear-based aggression. It's an anxiety attack, basically. Once it triggers, your dog's brain is fully engaged in that fear response. It took a long time for me to understand and accept that my dog, when she is triggered, is basically afraid for her life. She's not rational anymore when she's triggered. Obedience doesn't work. (i.e.,You can't say "Sit, Fido!" and expect that your dog is even HEARING your voice in that moment.)
The only thing we can do -- at least, this is my trainer's advice in our specific situation -- is to actually reprogram her brain. We do this with classical conditioning. So, I'll take Lucy out with some EXTREMELY high value treats. We position ourselves someplace where she can see other dogs -- but outside the radius where her full reactivity is triggered (this is called her safe zone). Then, every time she looks at another dog (and, I mean, it can be a sideways glance, a fleeting glimpse, a full stare-- any shift in her body language that shows she's noticing the dog), I click and treat. Click and treat. Even if she's barking or reacting in a way that I don't necessarily like: thing is, I'm not rewarding bad behavior -- because there is no obedience going on at this stage -- I'm simply working to build an association between dog and fantastic treat.
Here's the depressing news: it can take up to 2000 repetitions in real-world conditions to establish the connection. But you will -- if you're consistent and you've been out there practicing -- eventually establish the connection.
Another thing to try (because we had issues with people coming in to the house) is to reward the choice of "flight" vs. "fight." Again, high value treats: every time your dog looks at the trigger, throw the treat behind her -- basically, encourage her to flee into her safe zone.
Last, I would mention that our trainer gives me lots of strategies that help me understand Lucy, anticipate triggers, and recognize her "safe zone." So, I don't force her -- even inadvertently -- into situations where she experiences fear. In fact, I become a safe zone unto myself, really. If we're walking down the street and I see someone walking toward us, and I recognize that the street isn't wide enough for Lucy to pass without feeling fear, then I have a verbal cue I issue as we do kind of an emergency u-turn. So, I don't put her in stressful situations-- and that has really helped a lot, too.
Anyway, I don't know exactly what's going on with your dog. I encourage you to look for a good trainer. It's amazing what you'll learn, what your dog has to teach you. Good luck!

My dog always barks once my father has finished his dinner and I have no idea why? He doesn't do it with anyone else in the family but my dad! Anyone have any ideas?

How can you get an entire pack of dogs to be quiet on command, such as at a rescue facility?
Submitted by Deborah Moore | July 8 2014 | Permalink
I go to each dog individually and talk with them softly. It helps to calm them down. There is generally one dog who gets the whole group going. If you can figure out who to start with, the other dogs are easier to calm. I have gotten as many of 30 dogs quiet within just a couple minutes. When I get the first dog quiet, I give him a treat, then continue one at a time. I talk to them all quietly. It's just a matter of helping them relieve tension and staying calm yourself.

We are gearing up for our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch and I thought what better way to get excited than with a fun craft! The boys' artwork turned out darling!
After the watercolors were dry, the boys dipped their fist into orange paint and pressed them onto the hill to make pumpkins. I helped them press down their fists at first to help them get the hang of it.
You can see how differently they turned out. I like that each piece of artwork turns out unique because of the different fist prints.
After the pumpkins were dry, the boys used school glue to draw three lines in each pumpkin to give them definition, and then sprinkled orange glitter over the glue. I directed them to try to make the lines in between their fingers of the fist print.
Once the orange glitter was dry, the boys used brown paint to add stems to their pumpkins.
Lastly, they used green paint to add some vines to the pumpkin patch.
The trick to making the vines is using one of these Wilton candy making bottles. Just fill it partially with green paint and any leftovers can be squeezed right back into your green paint bottle. I had my kids practice on a separate sheet of paper to get used to squeezing it and making the swirls before they actually painted on their artwork.
Last year we created pumpkin patch art using a toilet paper roll as a stamp for our pumpkins. You can check it out HERE if you are interested.
Happy Crafting!!
I like to link my posts up to THESE great link parties.

Little Child's Sock
You guys are great for moral support! With test day approaching in two weeks, I'm a mess. I feel confident and prepared one minute and nervous and stupid the next. One thing that should help is that Aaron will be taking Beatrix to visit his mom and stepfather in Montana for the week before the exam. I will be alone for an entire week, a prospect that both relieves and sickens me. I'm trying hard not to think about it.
All of this reviewing, studying and preparation has resulted in a lightning fast pair of near knee socks!
Pattern: Little Child's Sock from Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Aqua
Needles: US 1 1/2
Pam and I traded some yarn back in Philadelphia and this is what I received. I thought lacy and/or cabled patterns would be too much for such a pastel so I found a neutral Nancy Bush pattern for the yarn. I'm slowly making my way through Knitting Vintage Socks and with this pair, I can cross off another pattern on my list.
The texture comes almost exclusively from different alignments of 2×2 ribbing, which makes for an easy yet still interesting pattern. I always knit my own heels and wedge toes so those were the only modifications I made to the pattern.
Isn't the texture great? I could not be more pleased. However, let me tell you that this was by far the ugliest WIP I have ever had. The ribbing pulls the sock in at funny places when it is not modeled on an actual foot. Consequently, the WIP looks like this:
It was beyond ugly; it was truly hideous, actually. And since I was knitting mostly at the coffee shop where I study, I spent altogether too much time answering the question, "WHAT are you knitting?" and explaining to non-knitters that no, really, it will be a lovely pair of socks. I almost cast on for a second, more appealing looking pair just to avoid having to talk to people about my fugly knitting. But see? A lovely pair of socks!
I already have my next pair of knee socks going, Gentleman's Half Hose in Ringwood Pattern, also from Knitting Vintage Socks:
Actually, I just turned the heel on this sock so perhaps I'll have another finished pair by the end of the weekend.
Alright, that's enough fun for now, exam prep calls.

Those are so cute!
oh wow those socks are super cute. The color really makes the pattern pop!
Those are SO much prettier on the foot! I was looking at the top picture thinking, "Why don't I remember those socks from the book? Why haven't I knit them?" Then I saw the off-the-foot picture that more closely resembles the one in the book.
These ones are going on my list. Love them!
Those socks are so pretty!!!
Wonderful socks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I love the socks, and the color is so vibrant without being eye-searing! Very nice!
They may have been a fugly WIP… but I'm loving the gorgeous finished pair! Beautiful!
two more weeks?! eek! good luck! those socks are ridiculously gorgeous. how many skeins did you use? and your new pair of socks is also beautiful!
Oh, those socks are lovely (both the finished pair and the new one)! I will be pulling my copy of that book off the shelf now, thanks to you!
Hee hee – I can't decide if the flat sock looks like, erm, well, never mind or a flatworm! Glad they look SO much better on!
oh, they turned out SO well. i have plans to make all of the socks from that book too. these look great, E~
So pretty!
Beautiful socks. What a great colour. Remember to use colour in your studying too.
yes, as someone already stated, those look so much better on the feet than in the book! they're really lovely.
Love the color. I'm drawn to all these colors that I can in NO way wear, lately. Like orange and aqua. As it happens, these colors look stunning on my kids. Hmmmm.
Good luck with the test!
best of luck on the test, hon! having the week before to clear your head will do you good.
Your socks look so much better than the socks in the book. I have that book and love it and the socks I see on the internet make me want to knit the patterns more than the socks in the book! Lovely.
Those are great! I agree – they are so strange with the ribbing not on a leg!
Good luck good luck good luck!
And at least you'll be wearing the best looking socks in the room at the test site.
Lovely socks! Note to self: must knit more Nancy Bush patterns.
Gorgeous socks & lovely color. You are right about the texture as I love it too. Good luck on your exams.
I love the color! They are absolutely gorgeous.
The socks are gorgeous! I must knit a pair! I love the texture. Good luck on the exams!
I had seen that pattern in the book and never wanted to knit it, because the "empty" socks looked so weird and bunchy. But they're really pretty on your feet…makes me reconsider the pattern.

By Jamie Hersch - bio | email | Twitter | Facebook
CAMBRIDGE (WKOW) -- On Saturday, 105 local World War II veterans will fly to Washington, D.C. for the Badger Honor Flight.
It is a one-day trip meant to show veterans the memorials built in their honor.
Howie Heiliger of Cambridge is among the veterans going on Saturday. A purple heart recipient, Howie says he's a survivor.
"You know, life is always filled with unexpected things. It's always been that way for me. I didn't ever expect to be taken prisoner by the Japanese but it happened and I survived," said Howie.
Howie was 20 years old when he joined the Marines in 1940. He wanted to see the world and fight for his country.
Stationed in China and the Philippines, he fought for just six months before he was captured along with 75,000 others and forced to walk for days in what became known as the Bataan Death March.
Howie spent the next three and half years as a prisoner of war.
"It was a miserable life those three years and four months that they had me tied up there. You just went from day to day, that's all there was to it. And I think I just had the backbone to say 'Well, I'm gonna make it,' and I did.
"It's memories that you don't like to remember. That's why people have asked me before to speak in front of an audience and it's just too terrible. I just never could talk about it," said Howie.
More than 65 years later, Howie is ready to talk, especially to other veterans he will join on the badger honor flight.
"I've been on Cloud 9 for six weeks! I've been ready to go," said Howie.
He's ready to see the memorials he's only read about, ready to be honored for the years he sacrificed for our country and ready to share the laughs, the memories and the tears with other men and women just like him.
"The survivors are here. We're getting short but we're hanging around. I don't think there's a better thing. This is one of the better things that has ever happened in my lifetime," said Howie.
27 News' Jamie Hersch and Teresa Mackin will join the veterans on Saturday's honor flight. They will have coverage beginning Saturday night.

Angel Governing June 16th to 21st
Angel number 18 - ANGEL CALIEL - Energy: DIVINE JUSTICE
Qualities: Distinguish what is just - Clear judgment - Integrity - Love of truth - Reveals the truth - Lucidity in reading other's intentions - Honesty.
Distortions: sale of justice - false witness - falsified evidence - unjust trial - scandal - meanness - corruption - falseness - dishonesty - confused, cloudy situation.
I would like to share with you the following.
Standing, sitting or lying down, breathe in the name CALIEL by inhaling through the nose, and hold your breath a few seconds. Then, exhale slowly and progressively through the nose. Repeat the exercise as long as needed to create a state of calm. Then you can continue by breathing freely while continuing to invoke CALIEL keeping the eyes closed.
By invoking or repeating the Sacred Formula represented by the Angel's name, we create a passage between the conscious, the subconscious and the different layers of the unconscious, thus reprogramming the different Angelic states of consciousness within, and allowing ourselves to reconnect with our celestial origin. The objective of this work is to purify our soul and become totally conscious in order to rediscover the Knowledge that lies within.
CALIEL is your Angel number 1 (Physical) if your Birthday is June 16th to 21st
CALIEL is your Angel number 2 (Emotional) if your Birthday is April 7th, June 21st, Sept 4th, Nov 16th, Jan 25th.

DLECTRICITY is a light and video festival that will take over Midtown -- one of Detroit's fastest growing neighborhoods."There is going to be 36 sites. All of them have very interesting and unique installations that will be there from both local artists, national artists," said Sue Mosey with Midtown Detroit Inc."Just to be able to walk around and have all this visual energy, the light exhibits all over the different buildings in Midtown, it kind of gets people excited," said George Nnamdi from the Nnamdi Center for Contemporary Art.
Click the video player to watch interviews with event organizers.Major art institutions such as the Detroit Institute of Arts are playing a big part in the show. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is celebrating DLECTRICITY by projecting the "Cirque de la Symphonie" on their south wall.Every exhibit serves as an interactive reminder of the excitement within the city."We thought this was a great thing for Detroit. We thought this was timely for Midtown given the great building facades, given all the revitalization we're doing in a lot of these empty buildings here that are also backdrops, many of them, for some of the DLECTRICITY arts events," Mosey said."It mixes art and technology. I think that's a lot of what makes up Midtown. I think that's a lot of where Midtown's going."DLECTRICITY happens on Friday from 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. and Saturday from 7:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.For more information, visit www.DLECTRICITY.com.

"There's a life rhythm within Cable," David Yurman says about the unifying element that runs through everything he creates. "Any place we use it, it's about bringing a certain life to the form." It started with the celebrated bracelet, and found its way into earrings, necklaces, and more. Sometimes, you'll find Cable in surprising places—the inside of a ring, the back of a pendant—where only you can see it.
From his earliest days designing jewelry, David Yurman has been captivated by the beauty and elegance of pearls. He brings his innovative artistry to these classic, luminous gems by encircling them with his iconic Cable, pairing them with other stones, or beading them on chain necklaces.

Use Path Blur to add blur along any path and Spin Blur to create circular or elliptical blurs. The Mercury Graphics Engine makes all Blur Gallery interactions fast and fluid. See how it works
Let Photoshop help you start a mask by automatically selecting the in-focus areas of your image. Focus Mask works great with potraits and other images that have shallow depth of field, and the Mercury Graphics Engine delivers fast performance.
New technology in Content-Aware Fill, Move, and Patch smoothly blends areas containing gradients, like skies, so you can create seamless, realistic results like never before. See how it works
Forget trying to align multiple shapes or objects at exact distances from one another on canvas. Now you can quickly see the distance in pixels between objects so you can lay out content with precision. See how it works
Choose the fonts you need from the Typekit library, sync them to your desktop, and get immediate access to them in your Photoshop font menu. Photoshop will even automatically replace missing fonts in your documents. See how it works
Search for fonts by name, and see instant previews of each font to zero in on the perfect one. See how it works

Get to work quickly and comfortably with your stylus on Windows 8.1 devices, and enjoy smoother brush strokes thanks to higher-frequency sampling.
Upsample images up to 15 times faster (depending on file size and video card configuration) now that the Mercury Graphics Engine delivers an OpenCL performance boost. The engine powers new Blur Gallery motion effects and the Focus Mask feature, too.
A new preference setting allows you to test drive and help shape new Photoshop features before they're officially released.
Enlarge a low-res image so it looks great in print, or start with a larger image and blow it up to poster or billboard size. Upsampling preserves detail and sharpness without introducing noise, and now you get even more immediate results thanks to an OpenCL boost from the Mercury Graphics Engine. See how it works
Work faster and smarter thanks to new feature enhancements throughout your workflows. Now you have access to an expanded Color Panel; you can access your most recently used brushes, sync your workspaces, keyboard shortcuts, and menu customizations with Sync Settings; and more.
Adjust the perspective of a specific part of your image without affecting the surrounding area. Change the viewpoint from which an object is seen. For example, turn a telephoto shot into a wide-angle shot, or vice versa. And seamlessly composite images with different vanishing points or camera positions. See how it works
Improve collaboration and work more efficiently. Use linked Smart Objects that reference files stored on your local system or network drive, and thus can be repurposed across multiple Photoshop documents. You get smaller files and save hard-disk space as well. See how it works

Adobe Generator technology gives developers deeper access to Photoshop files, paving the way for intelligent tools that automate time-consuming tasks and provide easier workflows. See how it works
Skip the hassle of manual asset slicing and export when designing for screens. As you work, Photoshop CC uses Adobe Generator technology to save tagged layers and layer groups as individual image files in formats you choose, all collected in a single folder.
Rich textures, crisp edges, and distinct details. All-new Smart Sharpen is the most advanced sharpening technology available today. It analyzes images to maximize clarity and minimize noise and halos, and it lets you fine-tune for high-quality, natural-looking results. See how it works
Save shots you thought were lost due to camera motion. Whether your blur was caused by slow shutter speed or a long focal length, Camera Shake Reduction analyzes its trajectory and helps restore sharpness. See how it works

The Image Size command now includes a method to Preserve Details and provide better sharpness while enlarging images. In addition, the Image Size dialog box has been updated for ease of use. See how it works
Resize shapes, edit them, and re-edit them — before or after they're created. Even edit individual corner radiuses in rounded rectangles. If a shape is bound for the web, export CSS data from the file to save time. See how it works
Select multiple paths, shapes, and vector masks at once. Even in multilayered documents with lots of paths, you can easily target the path (and any layer) you want right on canvas using a new filter mode. See how it works
