Bio-logic Systems Corp., a designer and marketer of computerized medical electro-diagnostic equipment and disposables, announced the signing of an exclusive five-year license agreement with the House Ear Institute (HEI) to develop and commercialize a product for hearing assessment based on proprietary technology developed by House Ear scientists.
The HINT (Hearing In Noise Test) is used to evaluate the functional hearing capabilities of individuals in hearing-critical jobs, as well as hearing aid users and cochlear implant users. "Previous success and Bio-logic's reputation as a technology leader in our industry has once again led us to partner with the House Ear Institute on this new project to further advance their innovative HINT and SAINT, or Source Azimuth Identification in Noise Test technologies in the marketplace," says Gabriel Raviv, chairman and chief executive officer, Bio-logic Systems Corp.
The HINT requires patients to recognize and repeat short sentences. The subject's sentence recognition reception threshold is obtained under four headphone or loudspeaker test conditions that sample a range of binaural directional hearing ability: speech in quiet or with noise coming from different directions. Noise is presented at a fixed level of 65 decibels (dB), and the level of speech is adaptively varied depending on the response of the subject.
This new project represents Bio-logic's initial entry into the behavioral auditory market, which is a significant opportunity for the company and the hearing industry in the future. With heightened noise levels found in much of our environment today, this unique testing technique, which utilizes a combination of functional hearing measures both in quiet and in noise, is predictive of real-world functional hearing ability.

By Keith Eddings
---- — LAWRENCE — City cops don't have the firepower they would need to face down a gunman bent on the kind of mass murder that occurred in a Connecticut elementary school last month. Ten rifles are needed, at $2,000 each.
Snowplowing equipment is so old that one city official says they should carry "antique" license plates.
The sagging concrete floor at the South Broadway firehouse is propped up by scaffolding in the basement and unable to support equipment assigned to the building.
The police station was cramped and overcrowded even on the day it opened in 1966. Replacing it would cost about $12 million.
A roof the size of a football field at the North Common Education Center leaks badly and needs a $1.6 million fix.
The above are some of the items city officials say are needed a decade after Lawrence stopped making major capital improvements and purchases because there was no longer the money to pay for them. The city's top commissioners and department heads met Wednesday to tally the hundreds of millions of dollars needed to fix the years of neglect.
The central problem remains: there's still no money.
"I imagine we're going to have $100 million to $200 million worth of needs," Budget Director Mark Ianello told the group. "We're only going to be able to fund a fraction of that."
Ianello estimated there is up to $800,000 in a capital projects fund the city was directed to establish three years ago in exchange for the state's approval to borrow $27 million to pay off years of operating budget deficits. More funding could come by tapping state and federal aid or by refinancing some of the city's $116 million in debt, Ianello said.
Ianello directed the group — which includes Police Chief John Romero, Fire Chief Jack Bergeron, acting Public Works Director John Isensee and Economic Development Director Patrick Blanchette — to return Feb. 6 with a list of projects that would cost at least $25,000 and have a life of at least three years.
By spring, the group is scheduled to rank the projects according to a formula that will include whether there is state or federal aid to help pay for them, then submit the list to Mayor William Lantigua, who could amend it before sending it on to the City Council.
Already, Isensee has begun inventorying the work needed at each of the 70 or so buildings the city owns, which includes 28 school buildings and totals about three million square feet. Checklists for each of the buildings include boilers, roofs, windows, air conditioners, elevators and compliance with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.
Romero brought his own list of what's needed at the 47-year-old police station on Haverhill Street, built when Lyndon Johnson was president. His list is a short one.
"We need a whole new building," the chief said.
He said putting rifles in police cruisers is a more immediate need.
"What happened in Connecticut, you really need rifles in cars," Romero said, noting that they shoot further and more accurately than the handguns police carry. "God forbid it should ever happen here."

TCEQ restricts junior water rights
Drought conditions continue to be widespread across the state. As a result, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is informing water right holders in the San Saba River Watershed of the Colorado River Basin that water rights will be administered on a priority basis.
On August 26, 2013, the executive director of the TCEQ notified certain junior water right holders in the San Saba River Watershed with a priority date of 1900 or later that their right to divert water is immediately suspended. Suspended water rights include those with a priority date of 1900 or later, term, and temporary water-right permits in the San Saba River Watershed in McCulloch, Menard, and Schleicher counties.
In order to protect public health and welfare, water rights with municipal uses have not been suspended. Land owners with property adjacent to the San Saba River or other streams in the watershed may also continue to divert water for domestic and livestock use as part of their inherent riparian rights.
These actions are guided by Texas Water Code Section 11.053, 30 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 36, and the priority doctrine in Texas law. The most senior water rights are served first during times of drought with domestic and livestock uses superior to any appropriated rights. Water rights are suspended or curtailed by priority date, with the most recently issued – or "junior" – priority users suspended before senior water rights in the area.
The TCEQ has asked that all San Saba River watershed water right holders continue to take appropriate steps to conserve water, implement their drought contingency plans, and prepare for additional suspensions or curtailments should drought conditions persist.
Water is a precious resource – all Texans are encouraged to conserve, especially during times of drought. More Texas drought information here.

Huset's Racer Gary Brown, Jr. Is Ready For 2013 [VIDEO]
Gary Brown, Jr., whether your cheering for him or not, your eyes tend to gravitate to him on the track. Reason being, he's usually putting on a display of driving in his green #22 stock car.
He first made an appearance at Huset's Speedway at the World of Outlaws event in July of 1998. I remember it well. He raced in the street stock class with a silver car and won the feature.
After the race several people came to me in the announcer's room and asked: 'Who was that guy that won?'
All I could tell them was his name and that he was some new driver out of Winner, SD.
Well, since that night nearly 15 years ago things have changed a lot. Nobody's asking anymore who he is, he's long since moved from Winner, SD to here, and I can tell you a great deal more about this guy today than I could back then.
I've built a long friendship with Gary. I've announced every single lap he's made at Huset's Speedway as he was climbing to the top of the track's record books.
Yes, I can tell you a story that I just don't have room to write here. His brother Mark – who personally builds the cars you've seen Gary wow the crowds with – and Gary and Mark's late father Gary Sr. have had as much of an impact on racing in this part of the country as anybody.
Gary has won more feature races than any other driver in his class at Huset's Speedway. He enters 2013 as a 6-time and defending track champion. He recently won at I-90 Speedway at Hartford, SD where he has also had huge success.
I caught up with Gary in the pits at Huset's Speedway on May 12th and had a quick chat with him as you can watch on the video at the bottom of this story.
I'm running the exact same car that my brother Mark built from last year. We are ready for the new season.
I can certainly understand why they would come back with same equipment. After winning 10 races at Huset's alone last year, why change anything?
Take a ride with Gary around Huset's Speedway:

NORTH ANDOVER — A lab explosion yesterday left a man with serious burns covering half of his body including his face and arms.
North Andover Fire Department and EMS medflighted the man, who has not been identified, to a Boston hospital after a explosion at Rohm and Haas laboratory at 60 Willow St.
According to the fire department, the man was working alone in a lab when the explosion occurred around 11:42 a.m. The injured man was medflighted to Brigham and Women's Hospital, for treatment of the burns, as well as lower extremity trauma.
"I would say his injuries were survivable," Lt. Michael Beirne said. "We were most concerned about his burns more than anything."
The cause of the explosion is still under investigation by the fire department and State Fire Marshall.
The Rohm and Haas lab has been shut down until further notice.

Had on tap, looked and smelled pretty good - bready and slightly fruity fragrance. Taste was smooth and full, but I couldn't really pick apart the pieces. It's one of those beers that you want to like, but can't. You'll drink it, but you don't really remember what you just had. I will say that for being a 9% doppelbock, it's really easy to drink. Mammoth has tried to develop some bigger beers and they are nearly good. I want to get behind them but at the end of the day I've got Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas, Russian River, Firestone Walker, Stone, etc. nearby with strong presence and I can't say Mammoth competes with their diversity and quality on all fronts.

Source/Serving: 750mL bottle
S: Day-old brown bread with dried cherries and plums, spirit-like alcohol warming. Fruitiness is quite light and hints at raspberries, apple, and pear.
T: Very smooth maltiness that's got a lot of black fruit and a touch of golden biscuit breadiness but is only slightly sweet up front. A touch dry in the middle with bread crust and brown sugar piercing through the continued fruitiness. Fruits are rich and smooth with a lot of plum-wine character. Fairly refined since its not sweet. No hop character, but it a touch tannic/grainy/minerally. Full-bodied, average for the style. Finish has a nice light sherry note and is pleasantly warming with the faintest hint of herbal/floral noble hops to complement the fruit.
Notes: As mentioned by others, a decent beer that's just a bit plain and one-dimensional.

3.55/5 rDev -2.7%
Appearance: Pours a burnished chestnut with a finger's worth of head that leaves quite a few strands behind; good retention
Smell: Burnt brown sugar, caramel, plums and figs, with a hint of chocolate
Taste: Caramel and plums, with subtle undertones of fig flavor; no real flavor progression
Mouthfeel: Full bodied but rather flabby, despite the attractive head/lacing
Overall: A rather run of the mill version of the style; nothing wrong with it (other than the mouthfeel) but just not that memorable

3.1/5 rDev -15.1%
This beer pours a rusty orangish brown color, with a thin, light brown head. The head fades slowly, leaving a nice lace.
This beer has a sweet caramel aroma. I get a sligtly nutty aroma as well. the alcohol is well hidden in the aroma.
This beer tastes like it smells, some sweet caramel with some nuttyness.
This beer is smooth. It leaves a sweet malty aftertaste.
I doubt this beer would make a great session beer. It is a bit high in alcohol.
Overall: I think this beer is a bit boring. It is pretty plain in both aroma and flavor. It isnt bad, I just think it could be more.

3.88/5 rDev +6.3%
Picked this up when my brother got married in Yosemite.
A: Moderate pour into beer mug. Beer is cloudy amber...like an extra dark dunkelweizen. Red/amber core with cloudy orangish outline when held up to the light. Tan head. Moderate retention. Carbonation is much more prevalent than expected.
S: Wonderful aromas of milk chocolate, dark fruit, malt syrup, toasted sugar and a mild bit of pine-y hops. The nose on this bad boy is pretty damn good.
T: Delicious sweet malts and molasses in the forefront lead way to a lingering expression of mocha that begins with the sweetness of lighter milk chocolates and finishes with roasted coffee and semi dark chocolate notes. This beer is nine percent alcohol and hides it quite well.
M: Probably the beer's greatest downfall. While not watery by any means, this beer does feel a tad on the thin side for the fairly robust flavor it exudes. While not necessarily a detriment, I feel this beer could be just a bit "thicker".
O: Pretty good little Doppel and a great way to reintroduce myself into dark beer. I'm coming full circle and fully expect to buy more porters, stouts and doppels the next time I'm out.

2.38/5 rDev -34.8%
Appearance: Dark carmel brown with a thin layer of coffee colored head. Head dissipates very quickly with no lacing.
Aroma: Roasted malts and nuts with a tinge of sourness to it. Hint of chocolate.
Taste: Not a real rich beer. Bready with malts and roasted nuts. An ever-so-small hint of chocolate. 9% alcohol is masked well behind the blandness. More smell than taste.
Palette: Very light with almost no carbonation. Dry finish.
Overall: Compared to the Death Valley and Grand Canyon beers, this one was a disappointment. I'm hoping the other Mammoth Brewing Co beers are better, but Hair of the Bear has dashed my hopes. Its rather bland and simple with nothing really separating it from any other average doppel bock.

On draft at Gastropub 775 in Reno, NV on July 26 2011.
Has a thick tan head, minimal lacing. Deep brown color.
Smells great like cherries and chocolate.
Tasted sweeet, sticky sweet; extreme malt and milk chocolate.
I couldn't get past the sweetness, and I am a lover of sweet beers. Was a struggle to finish.

3.6/5 rDev -1.4%
A&S - Pours a deep red with a one finger tan head. Tons of cherries on the nose with a smokey chocolate finish, not to much hops or alcohol.
T&M - Starts off with notes of chocolate, bread, and mostly cherries and slowly but surely turns to a earth hop infused nutty flavor with a smokey finish, nice medium/heavy body with not to much burning alcohol like other DBs.
O - A very good beer, just not my style.
My fourth Mammoth Brewing beer, which ended up being around 4/4, every brew was solid for its style and seem to feel true to Mammoth and the surrounding areas. This beer is sure to please anyone who loves a sweet and fruity beer. For me, it was just too much, it was great overall but I just didn't seem to be in the mood, which comes up a lot for this brewery, I feel the beers were crafted so that they could be appreciated at the brewery or in the village as apposed to bringing them home and enjoying them in a different environment. The 395 IPA was very piney and full of local juniper and sage which thrives throughout the area. I gave it a reasonable even though I didn't fully enjoy it. If your in the area pick it up, hopefully you'll have better luck. Stay thirsty my friends.

A: Brownish red color with a light tan colored head. Retention is lacking some but the lacing is pretty good.
S: Lots of malty chocolaty spicy notes going on. Smells sweet and good, full of flavor and body.
T: Layers of chocolate and spice, a nice drying finish. This is a pretty darn good beer. Caramel notes in the middle as well. Nice medium plus finish on it.
M: Prickly yet sticky too... good!
D: medium High

Served from bottle into a sampler mason jar glass. Poured a deep red-orange with a half finger off-white head that subsided to a minimal amount quickly. There was no lacing evident throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, caramel, wheat, and very slight banana. The flavor was of sweet malt, roasted malt, slight hop, wheat, and dark fruit. It had a medium feel on the palate with low carbonation. Overall this was not a bad Doppelbock. Not that great either... It was nicely balanced however and had a good aroma, but that is where it ends. This is worth trying at least once, but that might would be it for myself.

3.58/5 rDev -1.9%
A: The pour is a dark amber color, almost brown, with a thin off-white head to go with it.
S: Smells surprisingly good for a Mammoth beer. Cherries, plums, raisins, and maybe a couple other fruit notes are present along with some caramel and toffee. Maybe a bit on the roasty side for a doppelbock, though.
T: Some earthy hops to go along with the sweetness. Quite heavy on the toasted malts, but still sweet. Brown sugar, toffee, hearty bread, and quite a bit of cherry. It is decently bitter, come to think of it.
M: The body is medium and the carbonation is low to medium.
D: Nothing terribly exciting, but this is incredibly good for a Mammoth beer. I don't know if I'd have it again, but if forced to drink something from them, this would probably be it.

Located about 15 minutes from both Disney and Universal Studios on the beautiful (and massive) Grande Lakes resort grounds, the Ritz-Carlton is one of the best luxury hotels in Orlando -- swanky rooms, great pools, and a giant spa. But, since it shares all its features with the virtually identical JW Marriott, it's worth comparing rates.
Located next to the Orange County Convention Center, the Peabody's impressive array of services, beautiful interiors, and top-notch restaurants make it one of Orlando's classiest hotels. The hotel added a 32-story tower, a revamped pool complex, and a huge spa and fitness center as part of a massive expansion completed in 2010.
This affordable, 1,218-room convention hotel a five-minute drive from the Walt Disney World theme parks is a great value for families on a budget. The overall decor is a little dowdy, but guests who don't need high-design get large suites, good dining variety, and features like an enormous pool and a two-story fitness center.
Catering primarily to business travelers, this 315-room Westin has spacious and well-appointed rooms with kitchenettes, a superb pool, and a small, but well-equipped gym. Located across from the Orange County Convention Center and 10 minutes from SeaWorld, this hotel stands out in an area mostly dominated by enormous, bland hotels.
The 998-room JW Marriott is one of the most luxurious resorts in Orlando, and not just because it shares a gorgeous golf course and spa with the adjacent Ritz-Carlton. Its big rooms, streaming lazy-river pool, and acclaimed Italian restaurant are all among the best in Orlando -- a great choice, for business or a family vacation.
This upper-middle-range property is a massive lakeside resort with lovely features including seven pools, a pretty spa, and several dining options. All condo-style units feature homey touches such as kitchenettes, modern technology, and warm decor, and guests can take their pick of everything from studios to four-bedroom villas. While freebies are plentiful, they come at the cost of a daily resort fee. Nonetheless, this resort is an excellent pick for families and business travelers -- but guests may consider comparing prices with the nearby Westgate Palace.
This 400-room hotel just off of International Drive is a solid upper-middle-range pick in Orlando. Not only does it feature up-to-date amenities that include a well-equipped fitness center, a large business center, and an outdoor pool complete with a whirlpool, but it also boasts spacious and modern rooms with iPod docks and large flat-screen TVs. A free shuttle to nearby attractions and a free breakfast buffet for children under 10 adds to the value, but fees for in-room Wi-Fi and parking are disappointing.
THE WYNDHAM ORLANDO RESORT COMPLETED A $50 MILLION RENOVATION IN 2013. WE WILL UPDATE OUR REVIEW AS SOON AS WE CAN. It might be billed as family resort, but this sprawling 1,052-room International Drive hotel is more like a mishmash of roadside motel, convention center, and a budget resort with three mediocre pools. Given the old, musty guest rooms and lack of security (no gates or apparent monitoring), both families and business travelers can do better elsewhere -- at least until the $50 million renovations are completed in 2014.
It's primarily a business hotel -- it's next to the Orange County Convention Center and has loads of its own meeting space -- but the 832-room Rosen Plaza also includes a large pool, a notable steakhouse, and a small, windowless gym. It's adequate, but its features and lackluster service don't rise above Orlando's stiff competition.
This quiet property features privately owned condos and townhouses, and mostly attracts families with its safe, neighborhood vibe. The club house acts like the local country club; not only does it feature a fitness center and game room, but it also has a business center. The real highlight is the lovely pool area, which offers a view of the adjacent Lake Cay. While decor can vary slightly from unit to unit, all condos have separate living rooms and dining rooms, fully-stocked modern kitchens, and washer/dryers. Though many of Orlando's main attractions are just a short drive away, there are no restaurants on-site.

With different states varying with different types of addiction, the question is will Obama Care provide the help needed to combat the disease of addiction? The north east is being bombarded with Heroin and other drug overdoses and there are many other pockets of the country that have given rise to a Heroin crisis.
This article; inspired by what we have been seeing and it isn't pretty. People give us a call to get help and we can't offer it within their out of state area. You see the way the low income plans are structured have similarity to Medicaid in the sense that they will only offer funding for in state Substance Abuse Recovery Programs. The problem is most of the people we have interviewed have been calling these state run programs and they are filled up with no hopes in sight of actually ever receiving a bed inside their detox or recovery program.
New Beginnings Behavioral Health Center based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida was perplexed with this issue so we offered a scholarship reward program, where a patient can write us a letter on why they are willing to do whatever it takes to recover and as long as they can provide their own transportation to Florida we will allow them to receive a scholarship into our program. The issue is what about the other people looking for treatment that really have the willingness and desire to recover from a hopeless state of mind and body.
We have put together a multiple option payment plan based on family income and whether or not they have insurance that will cover a client's drug or alcohol treatment. Where most companies charge $1200.00 per day we are offering 90 days of treatment for a far better price making it affordable for a family to get help for their loved one struggling with addiction and needing immediate help with their substance abuse. We also accept most major insurance as well.
N.B.B.H.C. is a Partial Hospitalization Program, Intensive Outpatient Program, and Outpatient Program specializing in addiction treatment. Once a client fly's down here, we have a driver pick them up from the airport and our doctor performs our initial intake assessment of the patient then the patient is driven over to their local lodging and transported to treatment every morning or afternoon with the schedule depending on our doctor's assessment. Our patients are provided meals while they are on treatment center grounds with a relaxation room for those just needing a little R & R in between group sessions.
We at New Beginnings Behavioral Health Center want each one of our clients to feel comfortable with opening up and getting down to the crux of the issue which is causing their addiction or alcoholism. Once a client leaves our program they become a member of our alumni program in which they receive a monthly phone call checking in to see how they are doing.
N.B.B.H.C. Fort Lauderdale is Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program which caters to men and woman who suffer from chemical dependency and functions as 4 phase treatment process which breaks down from Detox (if necessary), Partial Hospitalization Program or Day Program, Intensive out Patient Treatment, and OP or Outpatient after care which is the phase catered to client's individual needs after they graduate the Partial Hospitalization Program or complete the Intensive out Patient.
Our staff has many years' experience in the addiction field and our primary purpose is to help those under our care to achieve long term recovery so that they may live their lives as active members of everyday society.
Don't Give Up Hope
If you or a loved one is suffering from an active addiction, Please don't give up hope.

The Alpine AH95G1E 95% AFUE single-stage gas furnace is made by Ducane and has a high efficiency multi-speed blower that can increase overall cooling efficiency by up to two SEER points when applied as part of a complete system. It also features a corrosion resistant aluminized steel heat exchanger, an anti-vibration blower assembly, and is run-tested to ensure its performance. (Please read this Important Safety Notice)
Standard Features
There are three main type of blowers: Multi-Speed, High-Efficiency Multi-Speed, and Variable Speed.
Standard Multi-Speed blowers have different speed options and you select the speed that the blower will operate at depending on the function it is performing (ex. different speeds for fan, AC, and heating functions).
High-Efficiency Multi-Speed blowers are designed to maintain a constant torque and in doing so will maintain air-flow and use less electricity.
Variable Speed blowers will adjust their speed during operation. The result is a blower that will run at lower speeds for longer periods of time (this improves the air flow and increases electrical efficiency).
A single stage furnace has one heat setting. The furnace is either on at full capacity or it is off.
A two stage furnace has two different heat settings; one full capacity and a second lower heat setting. The advantage of a two stage furnace is that it extends the run time which does a better job distributing the air in your home. This helps improve your homes comfort level while reducing drafty areas.
A modulating furnace will heat on a low capacity until a call for high heat is sent to the furnace. Once a high heat call is initiated the furnace will slowly increase the burner level and blower speed over time, until reaching full capacity. The advantages are potentially reduced noise and better efficiency in some models. A modulating furnace should provide the best comfort level.

Broadway Singing, Music Performance, Opera Voice, Singing
Hi! My name is Kristen and I am a 25 year old singer who loves music. I started my music career at the early age of 8 and haven't stopped singing since. Originally from Monterey, CA I grew up singing with my family. It has always been one of my favorite past times to sing with my dad. My family is one of the most important things to me, followed closely by music! Having been both an instrumentalist and vocalist, I feel it is important to not only know how to sing, but to be able to read music and understand what you are singing. After graduating with a music degree from BYU-I, I feel I have the tools to teach these and more.
Through my years as a musician, I have come to appreciate many different kinds of music ranging anywhere from Broadway to opera to Jazz, etc. I feel this gives me the ability to cater to my student's individual goals as musicians. One of my goals as a teacher is to help you to learn to sing what you love while giving you the correct foundation to build on. Music is supposed to be fun!
I believe self confidence is extremely important as a vocalist. "Stage fright" is common thing that holds us back from reaching our full potential. Singing with confidence makes you feel great, and sound even better. Sometimes it is all that's missing from a potentially amazing singer. I have helped many students overcome this road block and emerge filled with confidence and self assurance.
*** Lesson Details ***
Did you know that people can hear a smile in your voice? Smiling while singing actually produces a different sound that is pleasant to the ear. I want this experience to be fun for my students. That said, however, I believe self discipline is a very important aspect of music. I will encourage students to practice regularly and come prepared to learn. I will usually request that students bring a recording device so they can take home our lessons and practice. This also allows you to hear how you sound during lessons and reproduce(or improve) that at home.
During my lessons, we will cover topics ranging from improving your technical skills, basic singing principles, ear training, sight-reading, to theoretical knowledge. We will also discuss voice maintenance. That said, I feel it's important to get out of the lessons what you want, so I don't have a set curriculum. I tailor each lesson to the student.
All in all, I am a patient, fun-loving teacher who will work hard to bring out the very best in all my students. I will neither push too hard nor be too lenient as we strive to reach the goals we have set together.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Piano and music books provided
*** Travel Equipment ***
I will provide some music for the student. I would prefer that the student have access to a piano and bring a tape recorder and notebook to each lesson.
*** Specialties ***
Although I was classically trained and studied opera in college, my younger singing experience largely involved musical theatre. I have always been told I am a natural on stage. I strive to instill that confidence into my students because confidence really is half the battle.
Singing, Speaking Voice, Voice Acting
Versatile singer and voice artist. Studied Broadway, Opera and Pop for 6 years. Sang with entertainment groups in Utah, and was a previous member of Salt Lake City's Mountain Jubilee Chorus. Is also a voice actor, and has voiced various commercial work for radio and television, all types of narration, and character work for animation. Helping you to use your voice to its best potential!
*** Lesson Details ***
For both Voice Over work and singing: General breath work, vowel enunciation, making the most of diaphragm control. Also, how genres vary in pop, jazz and Broadway.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Light use of Piano, or keyboards
If recording - Atlas Mic and M - box audio interface (Pro - tools SE) and adobe Audition.

I have been playing music for 19 years, beginning on piano at age 4. Since then, I have learned the saxophone, guitar, drums, and bass, as well as cultivated a deep understanding of music theory. In the past few years, bass/bass guitar has become my primary instrument. Learning and playing music has enriched my life greatly, and I believe that can be true for you as well.
I have been performing since a young age, and have participated in multiple performing groups over the years. Currently, I am the bassist for The Hot Club of Zion (jazz) and bassist/songwriter for the Merchant Royal (rock).
I am currently attending the University of Utah and I am in the process of completing a Bachelor's of Music in Jazz Performance (Bass). This program has greatly expanded my knowledge of music theory, history, and composition. It has also provided me with the opportunity to work with some of the best musicians in Utah,
I am grateful for all of the joy and satisfaction that music has given me and enjoy helping others experience the same.
*** Lesson Details ***
As a teacher, I place emphasis on helping a student determine what their personal goals are, and then tailor lesson plans to those interests. My personal experience has taught me that the best learning environment is one in which the student feels relaxed and involved. As such, I strive to maintain a comfortable, yet professional setting, and consistently communicate with the student about what they want to learn.
Because each student's goals and interests are different, I do not use a specific curriculum. However, I intend to teach all of my students introductory music theory, fundamentals of sound science, and basic songwriting techniques. After several lessons, students will have a better understanding of music-making itself, as well as a clearer idea of what their musical goals are, and how to achieve them.
I look forward to working with you and helping you realize your musical potential.

*** Specialties ***
I have the most experience with the genres of rock, blues, and jazz, specifically on bass/bass guitar. I have extensive experience with gypsy/straight-ahead swing jazz, classic rock/rock and roll, and modern blues playing. I also have experience playing and, to a lesser extent, teaching country, pop, and gospel.
I am well versed in music theory, both classical and jazz, including scale and harmony theory, song forms, and performance practice.
I have played guitar as a secondary instrument for about 6 years. Though it is not my main instrument, I am very familiar with the fretboard (know every note, etc.), chords, scales, and performance practice. I would be able to teach acoustic and electric guitar. I am familiar with the genres of rock, blues, jazz, and pop.
I have played piano since a young age, and use it primarily as a composition instrument. I have played classical and romantic era music, as well as jazz standards.
My upright bass playing experience has almost exclusively been jazz-oriented. However, I have played blues, country, bluegrass and pop music on upright bass as well. I am confident in teaching those styles on the instrument.

On Friday morning, Darren Douglas Porter was cuffed in the back of a White Settlement police cruiser after officers caught him breaking into an antique shop in the 800 block of S. Cherry Lane.
Soon after, Porter, 41, managed to roll down the rear window and open the car door from the outside. He got behind the wheel and sped away. Just like that, he was gone.
Police found the cruiser in at a west Fort Worth apartment complex soon after, but Porter remained at large. Until Wednesday morning.
White Settlement Police Department spokesman Lt. J.P. Bevering says Porter was arrested at 9:10 a.m. Wednesday morning in the 3300 block of East Belknap Street in Fort Worth without incident. Bevering says they learned of where he was staying following a tip.
Porter is in custody in the city jail on $225,000.
Bevering says the incident triggered an inspection of all city police cruisers. All their back windows, he said, have been disabled.

A small 2008 study showed that when people listened to an audiobook (in this case, "Dracula"), their performance was the same as when they drove without distraction. But when they carried on a phone conversation with one of the researchers (about hobbies and weekend activities), their performance worsened.
- How distracting is radio?
Strayer partnered with the American Automobile Association to try to measure the relative strength of various cognitive distractions on driving. Study subjects were tested in a driving simulator or a real car while listening to the radio or a book on tape. On a scale of 1 (no distraction) to 5, radio measured 1.2 and the audiobook measured 1.75. The distraction that rated a 5 was to have drivers try to solve math problems and remember a series of words.
- Is talking on the phone more distracting than talking to a passenger?
The cognitive workload for the driver is the same, according to Strayer. In his test, conversing with a passenger rated a 2.3 on the 1-to-5 scale; talking on a hand-held phone, a 2.4; and a hands-free phone, a 2.3. However, having another person in the car generally results in safer driving, because there's often an extra set of eyes on the road. Also, passengers tend to stop talking when the demands of driving increase, Strayer says. "So passenger and cell conversations have different crash risks because the passenger helps out."
Note: Teen passengers don't have the same helpful effect with teen drivers.
- Are there apps for that?
There are apps that when enabled — or when you're traveling over, say, 10 mph — automatically answer calls (and texts) and apps that will read your text messages or e-mails aloud to you. One recent study found that listening to (but not answering) a ringing phone while driving was a distraction.
Despite the data, there's no indication that people are giving up their phone conversations. There are probably plenty of reasons for that, but it's hard to tackle a lack of self-awareness — or worse, hubris. "People notice others driving erratically and talking on their phones, but they don't notice themselves making similar driver errors," Strayer says.
In the past, people would brag about being good drivers even when drunk, Teater says. The same thing is happening now with cellphones. Teater's work was spurred by the death of his 12-year-old son in a cellphone-related car accident. "You never think it will happen to you — until it does," he says.


text: ELLENSBURG, WA - As the death toll continues to climb, we're hearing about local families who've received word they lost loved ones in the landslide.It's unimaginable pain and suffering, but with love for each other and precious memories of their smiling Summer, a family gets through tragedy."She was just happy go lucky, that's why she's named Summer because she was always smiling and everybody loved her," said Flo Pedraza, Summer's Grandmother."I always wanted to be like Summer," said Lorinda Smith, Summer's Cousin.36-year-old Summer Raffo was driving to a friends house to help with a horse when the mudslide swept her away. Summer's brothers and cousins dug with their own hands for five whole days until they found the blue Subaru with Summer's body inside. Summer was a newlywed, a horse whisperer and the best friend to her mother."I kept telling her {Summer's mother} we're going to get her out, and we did," said Pedraza.Through their grief and tears, the family clings to each other for support and strength."Just looking at my kids and thanking God that we're still here, and we still have the family that we do have and that we were here for each other," said Smith.Until the day, Pedraza says they'll see Summer again."She's up there riding her horse with wings on it, waiting for us to get up there to ride with her," said Pedraza. "I said we'll all be up there riding winged horses."Smith said another family with local ties was impacted by the mudslide. Kris and LoAnna Langton lost their home in the Taylor Bridge Fire near Cle Elum two years ago. They moved to Oso to rebuild their lives, and have lost another home to tragedy.

Music often sets the tone of a TV series and the sounds behind the dramatic scenes are often times produced far away from Hollywood - even right here in Lake Charles. KPLC's Lee Peck profiles two local artists who are putting their musical talents to TV.
"I got interested in playing music when I was about 14 years old," said Matt Moss.
Moss learned the bass guitar early on. "First came the bass, then I learned acoustic and can now play several instruments," said Moss.
Moss has been playing ever since and in his early 20s, he had a short run on the professional level.
"I was playing with Mike Zito. He's a contemporary blues artist. We traveled all over and played. It's fun but it is also hard work," said Moss.
Lately, his tunes aren't being played out on stage but instead on TV. Moss is among a growing number of artists writing music for some of your favorite shows.
"It's not for everyone, but it is fun and the payoff is great, too. To see your music on TV is an exciting and awesome feeling," said Moss.
His growing list of credits include background music for reality TV shows such as: Discovery Channel's Auction Kings, and A&E's Rambug.
"In a lot of the music I produce – less is more. You may play several tracks and then mix them together, but in the end you want the music to set the mood," explained Moss.
His latest country tracks are being considered for a show that has taken America by storm.
"Ten of those were sent off to 'My Name is Honey Boo Boo' show," he laughs. "I believe it is called."
While Matt has had some success, he hasn't quit his day job. He works full-time at Lake Charles Music where he also collaborates with the store's co-owner Ed Fruge.
In the mid-80s, Fruge helped provide several key tracks for Rocky IV that were hand-picked by Sylvester Stalone.
"That was when Footloose and all those were coming out with soundtracks instead of just orchestral tracks - and he wanted that. We became part of that scenario. It was a great experience," said Fruge. "Stalone was very hands on and was involved in the selection of all the music."
The magic comes to life in the in-house studio. There, they are able to digitally mix the music. Fruge said a lot has changed from 30 years ago.
"After Hurricane Rita, we went from analog to digital, but we still use a mix of both to get the best quality. This technology has allowed a lot of producers a lot of power to make a perfect mix. A perfect song because of all this technology," said Fruge.
With the click of a few buttons, it also allows the song to go from Lake Charles to Hollywood.
"It's definitely made it easier and kind of leveled the playing field a little bit," said Moss.
With the endless amount of TV shows, they hope their music will supply the demand.
Meanwhile, they said the process can take up to a year in some cases before they know if their music has made the final cut for a TV show.

Terror based on materialistic, violent and irreligious ideologies can only be beat with intellectual struggle.
Quran denounces terrorism and any kind of violence. You cannot force someone to do anything, if you are following the rules of Quran. Islam teaches friendship, patience, self-sacrifice, generosity, speaking the truth, being protective and caring others more than yourself. Although it seems like the people mentioned in the speech are Muslims, they are educated with materialistic, violent and irreligious ideologies. That's why we should try to defeat these ideologies with intellectual struggle. Because you cannot defeat an ideology with bombs or weapons, you can defeat it just by truth and awaking the consciousness. Most effective way is spreading the concept of love, peace and respect by explaining Creation with scientific proof.

Dec 14 2012: you are enlightened..and the Quran got you there,with a side dish of science...you are lucky ..but unlike you,not everyone sees the miracle of all of it when evoking the religious life..some are mimicking it,like people who copy homework...and some intellectuals read narrowly,so they see out a small window...enlightenment,and its attributes are not specifically the goal of religion,or intellectualism..thats evident in the poor behaviour we are worried about. So how about naming the core principals,without burying them in years of school,or putting them within religious verse..They are truth,justice,righteousness,balance,harmony,order,reciprocity....If we said this in our behaviour,advertising,cartoons,childbirths,festivals,we may sway towards it..yet if we debate as to where there is evidence of thses things,we may be forced to examine every snowflake.
Dec 14 2012: I totally agree with you. Thank you for your kind reply. You are right to worry about it, I worry too. Because many Muslims don't even know Quran, many never read it in their language or try to understand the meaning. They just listen to some people and act according to that. But we cannot change it by making them irreligious or destroying the religion. This causes much more violence because it will cause oppression. We can change it by education, science, knowledge, love, compassion and patience. Please take into consideration that I'm talking about people who name themselves religious and put forward delusional terror.
Dec 14 2012: well my friend you are right in your view that the terrorism can be only be eliminated by the intellectual struggle, but the main problem is WHO WILL BE STARTING THIS STRUGGLE? history gives solid proof that religion is the one of the main forces which had stopped the unification of mankind (please dont feel angry, but that is true) wether there is war by crusades, or any other bigger wars in the history, religion has played a role. also we know just as a car has only one steering and gare box, similarly this car (i.e earth) requires only one steering and gare box, not 6. thus , in nutshell, we require a law that will not allow any type of stereotypes, should be formulated by the consent of the people, not by group of individuals and ther should be no interference by the religious sentiments in the country
Dec 14 2012: Evilness of terror affects all of us, so everyone can try as much as they can. If societies leave the differences aside and try to unite with love and peace, that will be a start. The number of people with conscience is more than we think. For example I think all people I spoke here would stop these killings if they can, because they have good hearts. We have different ideas but it doesn't matter, they are concerned and intelligent people. If we try by heart constantly, terror will vanish someday. One doesn't need to go far; I'm trying to do my best first in my family, than with my friends and everyone I can reach. And it influences them to change. But if I oppress, behave arrogant, hate, insult and do not respect their thoughts and feelings, nothing will change. One person can change the world, if he really wants to.

A 911 Emergency?
By Opinion Staff
The Legislature that already does too many favors for Florida's public-safety organizations is poised to do another.
On Wednesday, a House committee will hear a bill that would ban the release of 911 tapes. Speaker Larry Cretul, R-Ocala, claims that he has heard from families who had to relive family tragedies when the tapes were released to news organizations. Worse, other legislation would create exemptions to the state's public-records laws for crime-scene photos.
We sympathize with families who may feel this way. But as The Post reported Tuesday, one Florida family feels very differently, for reasons that are just as personal. Peggy and Mark Lee believe that their daughter-in-law, Denise Amber Lee, was murdered because a 911 dispatcher failed to relay information. They oppose the legislation to ban release of the tapes. Indeed, if the law passed, news organizations and the public would have to wait 60 days, and then could get only a transcript — after paying all the transcription costs. Also, a transcript would be an incomplete picture, lacking a dispatcher voice inflection and other clues about the call. In Memphis, one dispatcher fell asleep.
It's an annual sport for the Legislature to blame the media. This legislation, though, is just stupid, especially when The Post just reported how Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue divers didn't find the body of Scott Wilson for an hour after Mr. Wilson's car was struck by polo mogul John Goodman.
We oppose the ban on release of 911 tapes. What do you think? Take our poll.

Charges Bash Pulte Bottom Line
Pulte Homes (PHM) swung to a big third-quarter loss as the homebuilder recorded more than $1 billion in impairments and charges tied to the housing slump.
The Bloomfield Hills, Mich., company recorded a loss of $787.9 million, or $3.12 a share, compared with a year-ago profit of $190.2 million, or 74 cents a share.
The results were hit by $1.18 billion in pretax charges from land impairments, land-related charges and goodwill impairment.
Most builders have been recording such charges since the housing slowdown forced them to slash prices on homes. As a result, they have to mark down the value of land and housing inventory on their balance sheets to reflect that the inventory is no longer profitable. Centex (CTX), for one, also had nearly $1 billion in charges in its most recent quarter.The charges cut Pulte's per-share results by $3.33 a share. Excluding the charges, earnings were above the company's guidance of 10 cents to 20 cents. Revenue slid 31% to $2.47 billion from $3.56 billion a year earlier. Home closings sank 28% to 7,468 homes. "The operating environment continues to be challenged with elevated levels of new and resale home inventory, tightening of mortgage liquidity, and weak consumer sentiment for housing," said Richard Dugas, Jr., president and CEO of Pulte Homes. For the fourth quarter, Pulte said it expects results from continuing operations of break-even to earnings of 10 cents a share, before any charges.

Hi everyone, I'm new to these forums and the Midwest. My family and I moved to Indianapolis this past Aug, coming from England, but originally from CA. We started a tradition with our kids that when they turn 12, Dad takes them out for ~week in the outdoors. My oldest and I backpacked in Scotland (in the summer) - it was brilliant. Our next child turns 12 this coming Jan. Ealier this year we thought we'd stay longer in the UK, and made tentative plans to return to Scotland to do some ice climbing (www.ice-factor.co.uk/index.php). Since we're here now, we've adjusted our plans. My son and I are headed off to Gaylord MI next week for a couple days of snowboarding (good deals on groupon). Then, we're headed up to Munising for some snowshoe backpacking. I hear it's an ice climbers paradise up there and, although last minute, I thought I'd try to track down someone that could help introduce us to ice climbing for a 1/2 or full day. It would need to be either Fri or Sat, 20 or 21 Dec. Neither my son or I have experience ice climbing. However, several years ago I directed a high ropes course and have even led a few rock climbing trips. Given my family constraints with several young children, I haven't made the time yet to become an avid climber. I do know my way around ropes and belaying though. My son hasn't done any climbing outside of a indoor, self-belayed systems. He loves the outdoors though and has great stamina. We'll be geared up in terms of clothing, including crampon compatible boots, but we don't have any climbing gear. Is this something anyone on this forum might be interested in? We can discuss arrangements. Also, I hear we might be a little on the early side when it comes to the ice being ready. Any thoughts on that? Cheers! Tyler
Tyler, Check out Michigan Ice fest site for updates on route conditions. I would check with Bill Thompson of Downwind Sports in Marqutte, MI. for possible partners/guide. Good luck!
Hey! I got married there! That's all.
Was just in Munising on Thursday scouting out ice conditions. Not looking good right now but will keep folks updated weekly. Here are the shots of the current conditions: www.michiganicefest.com/
Im headin to munising today, i will report ice conditions. was in new hampshire climbing last week and the ice was awesome (sorry got sidetracked)
downwindsports.com/icefest/2013/01/ice-conditions-report-1-4>>> Let us know about the Frontcountry! Like the dryerhose and what not.
Didnt get over to dryer hose but did climb sweet mother moses which has formed quite well. grand island had a lot of formed ice but would have to take a boat over because the lake is all open. afraid warm temps all week will regress all ice thats formed. i think im headin to cody or ouray til the ice is better

Africare News Release
An origami bird bearing one person's wish for peace to "fly all over the world."
Origami Cranes Flock West
for Annual Tree of Hope
Proceeds to Benefit Africare
To submit your wish for placement on the Tree of Hope, visit www.rainbowfund.org/wish/
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF., November 22, 2007 — Thousands of white origami cranes will "migrate" west this winter and perch themselves on the branches of San Francisco's Tree of Hope, in an effort to promote peace and humanity across the city and the world. Each bird will carry a message of hope or a hopeful wish for the future, while brilliantly decorating a 20-foot Christmas tree in the middle of the San Francisco City Hall Rotunda. The December 5 tree-lighting event, organized by the Rainbow World Fund, is to encourage peace, love and humanitarianism for San Franciscans and people all over the world — and to benefit the work of Africare.
"We are gathering hopes and wishes from people around the globe and giving them wings," noted Rainbow World Fund Executive Director Jeff Cotter. "We create the tree as a way to inspire hope and encourage people to really think about what they would like for the future of the world and as a way for them to come together and express their wishes and intentions."
Those expressions of "wishes and intentions" will unite on Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2007, at a tree-lighting ceremony in the San Francisco City Hall. The ceremony will begin with a concert by the San Francisco Boys Chorus at 5:30 p.m., followed by the tree lighting at 6:00. Once lit, the tree will display the brilliant origami cranes.
The Tree of Hope Project was inspired by a little girl who lived and died nearly half a century ago. Sadako Sasaki was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Several years later, suffering from the "disease of the bomb"— leukemia — Sadako learned of a legend that would grant one wish to the person who, in the Japanese origami tradition, folds 1,000 cranes. She started folding but died 356 cranes short of her goal. Her classmates folded the rest in her honor, and all 1,000 were buried with her. From that moment, after Sadako's courageous story had spread internationally, the crane became a symbol of world peace.
Today, children and families from around the globe, including those in Belgium, Spain and Taiwan (among other nations), have joined efforts to decorate the Tree of Hope with their written wishes. U.S. Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, as well as author Danielle Steel, are among the prominent people who have sent wishes.
All proceeds from the December 5 event will be donated to Africare. In addition, the ceremony hopes to illuminate an issue affecting the economic development of thousands of rural communities on the African continent: the lack of electricity and artificial light.
According to the United Nations Department of Public Information, it was estimated in 2004 that no more than 20 percent of the population in Africa (excluding South Africa and Egypt) had direct access to electricity. That figure falls to 2 percent in rural areas. Lack or insufficiency of electricity restricts educational opportunities for children and hampers overall rural economic development.
"Children have fewer chances, if any, to study at night — and entire communities are forced to slow or halt their daily activities [at sundown] without a dependable and affordable source of light," noted Africare President Julius E. Coles. "These are challenges that can be overcome with innovative partnerships between the public and organizations like Africare."
Through the Tree of Hope Project, the Rainbow World Fund hopes to bring new resources and attention to an Africare pilot program in Kuanza Sul province, Angola. The program uses solar flashlights — which are durable, waterproof and renewable — to provide affordable and dependable energy to the province's rural communities. In Kuanza Sul's Kibala district, one solar flashlight goes to each family with a primary school child who has advanced at least to the third grade level. School teachers and village chiefs also will receive flashlights as a way of supervising their use in the communities. Including manufacturing, shipping and progrm administration, one flashlight costs $14.

Founded in 2000, Rainbow World Fund (RWF) is an international relief agency based in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered (LGBT) and friends community. RWF helps people who suffer from hunger, poverty, disease, war oppression and natural disaster. RWF provides a platform an a united voice for LGBT compassion and concern to be seen and heard throughout the world.

Three people were hurt when a horse-drawn carriage they were riding in flipped over in the Old Town area of Scottsdale, police said.
The accident happened at about 1 p.m. when an apparent mechanical problem caused the carriage to hit a sign at the corner of First Street and Brown, said Scottsdale police spokesman Officer Dave Pubins.
The carriage flipped onto its side, Pubins said.
A man driving the carriage was not hurt but his three passengers, all women, were taken to the hospital. They are expected to be OK.
The intersection was closed for about an hour.
No citations will be issued, Pubins said.
This was the second accident in the Valley involving a horse and carriage in the past week.
On Thursday, rescue personnel were called to pull a horse and carriage out of a canal in Mesa.
The horse had apparently veered too close to the edge of the canal to avoid a car parked alongside the waterway and slipped into the canal in the 2000 block of North Greenfield Road.
The driver of the carriage was able to jump from the carriage before it hit the water.
Crews disconnected the horse from the carriage and guided it through the 4-foot high water to an area where the animal could be walked up and out.

Well after the sun has set over the Tortolita Mountains, the world-class trainers at Crazy Heart Ranch grab the reigns under the lights of a spacious outdoor arena. When they're not riding, the horse-loving crew lends their equine knowledge to students during monthly clinics, group lessons, private lessons, and kids' camps at the Northwest Tucson ranch, where they focus on creating meaningful relationships between riders and horses. All resident instructors and horses are experienced in reining, Western and English riding styles, ranch horse versatility, and team roping. Guests can saddle up and ride on the ranch's private trails, or complement lessons with a picnic under the region's native Mesquite trees, the same trees that money doesn't grow on.
At Anthony's K-9 Academy, head trainer Anthony Holcomb calls what he does "people training for dogs." This is because dogs read their owners' body language and energy for cues on how to react. An experienced trainer, Anthony has a range of training methods in his tool belt, which he adapts depending on the dog and its owner. He holds both group and private training sessions, and will even board dogs who are especially challenged or need to be convinced there is no monster living under their beds.
Dr. Connie Anderson's love of animals shines through in every facet of her life. Not only has she studied veterinary medicine at Oregon State University and Washington State University, but she and her family live with a menagerie of dogs, cats, birds, tortoises, goats, and Holly, a pot-belly pig.
At Dr. Anderson's practice, Animal House Veterinary Clinic, she and her team pair their love of animals with the latest technology. Their microchip implants, for example, help identify pets if they are lost or don Groucho glasses, and digital x-rays screen for unseen injuries. The in-house lab and pharmacy ensure quick turnaround on prescriptions, and an array of lower-tech services—such as grooming, physicals, and vaccines—round out the health care treatments.
Boasting a 100% cage-free environment and over 8,000 total sq. feet, Gilbert Dogs 24/7 & Chandler Dogs 24/7 keep pups active as they romp around in open playrooms supervised by well-trained staff on grounds open 24 hours a day. The boarding facility screens every dog during a behavioral evaluation conducted prior to admission. All pooches that pass are free to run around the daycare gnawing on toys, crafting canine art, and acquiring best friends who don't ever demand that they fetch newspapers or platters bearing three-course meals. Supervising staff members are certified dog lovers and have completed an Interpreting Dog Body Language seminar to help diffuse potential conflicts in the playroom, and film videos of pups having fun to show to returning owners. For clients leaving their pups for an extended period, the facility's overnight boarding service allows owners to rest easy knowing that an overnight staff member is always on hand to comfort canines after nightmares of losing at poker. The shop rounds out its canine-comforting service menu with shuttle rides to appointments or puppy field trips, courses in obedience training, and spa grooming sessions in which pups are washed, dried, and brushed until coats gleam with a healthy shine.
Dog trainers Danny and Silvia Wilson founded Bark Busters Home Dog Training in Australia in 1989, hoping to help reduce the number of dogs abandoned or euthanized because of their behavioral problems. More than two decades later, their business has grown to incorporate more than 400 franchises worldwide and has helped more than 750,000 dogs live harmoniously with their human counterparts. Rather than bribing pups with treats or applying punitive methods such as shock collars, Bark Busters' therapists follow a training system based on canine communication and pack behavior. Dogs instinctively respond to these body-language and voice-control techniques, which therapists customize to suit each dog's personality and each family's needs and lifestyle. Over the course of the training, therapists curb behavioral problems such as aggression, barking, jumping, gambling, and digging while teaching canine owners the leadership skills they need to make their pets feel confident and secure.
Bark Busters' confidence in their services allows them to offer a lifetime-support guarantee. If the dog's behavior does not improve, therapists will work with the client for one year or for the lifespan of the dog—depending on the service purchased—at no additional charge.
The trainers at Best in Show Kennels aid pups and their owners in breaking down communication barriers that hinder behavioral correction. Training lessons—formulated by a head training director with 15 years of experience in world training competitions—are tailored to each pet's needs, beginning with an evaluation that identifies any specific behavioral issues, from jumping on the couch to selling family heirlooms on the Internet. Along the way owners learn to bolster their body language and identify any issues in their nonverbal behavior. When boarding is needed, staffers keep a close eye on pups overnight, during supervised playtime sessions, and on two regular walks each day.
