Disability Rights Promotion International – Canada
DRPI-Canada is a SSHRC CURA funded, training, research, capacity building, and knowledge mobilization and dissemination project to monitor the human rights of people with disabilities in Canada. Rights monitoring is a research method that involves the tracking, collection, collation, analysis, interpretation and mobilization of data and knowledge about the life situation of people with disabilities using human rights standards as benchmarks. This proposal is grounded in a "human rights approach†to disability, which focuses attention on the way that systemic discrimination and social exclusion increase vulnerability to abuse, chronic poverty, unemployment, other forms of discrimination, and inequitable social conditions. DRPI-Canada strongly believes that, in order to translate rights on paper into rights in reality, disability rights monitoring must be owned by people with disability themselves. In line with this, DRPI-Canada trained people with a broad range of disabilities through training events organized in Toronto, November, 2007; and Vancouver, May 2009, and planned for St. John's, August, 2009. Training workshops on economic, social, and cultural rights were also organized in Toronto, February, 2009; Vancouver, May, 2009; and St. John's, August 2009 with financial support from the department of Canadian Heritage. Marcia Rioux is the PI, and York faculty participants include Daniel Drache, Geoffrey Reaume, Isabel Killoran, Christo El Morr and Roxanne Mykitiuk. Mihaela Dinca-Panaitescu coordinates this project.

Black Beauty Cream Stout
Cream Stout
Stout is a dark beer made using roasted malt or roasted barley, hops, water and yeast. Stouts were traditionally the generic term for the strongest or stoutest porters, typically 7% or 8%, produced by a brewery. In this sense a stout is not necessarily dark in colour because there were also pale stouts. There are a number of variations including Baltic porter, dry stout and imperial stout. The name porter was first used in 1721 to describe a dark brown beer popular with street and river porters of London that had been made with roasted malts. This same beer later also became known as stout though the word stout had been used as early as 1677. The history and development of stout and porter are intertwined.

26 Things Non-Paul Voters Are Basically Saying
26 Things Non-Paul Voters Are Basically Saying [tomwoods.com]Whether they realize it or not, here are 26 things non-Paul supporters appear to be saying. (1) The American political establishment has done a super job keeping our country prosperous and our liberties protected, so I'm sure whatever candidate they push on me is probably a good one. (2) Our country is basically bankrupt. Unfunded entitlement liabilities are in excess of twice world GDP. Therefore, it's a good idea to vote for someone who offers no specific spending cuts of any kind. (3) Vague promises to cut spending are good enough for me, even though they have always resulted in higher spending in the past. (4) I prefer a candidate who plays to the crowd, instead of having the courage to tell his audience things they may not want to hear. (5) I am deeply concerned about spending. Therefore, I would like to vote for someone who supported Medicare Part D, thereby adding $7 trillion to Medicare's unfunded liabilities. (6) I am opposed to bailouts. Therefore, I will vote for a candidate who supported TARP. (7) The federal government is much too involved in education, where it has no constitutional role. Therefore, I will vote for a candidate who supported expanding the Department of Education and favored the No Child Left Behind Act. (8) Even though practically everyone was caught by surprise in the 2008 financial crisis, which we are still reeling from, it's a good idea not to vote for the one man in politics who predicted exactly what was bound to unfold, all the way back in 2001. (9) I am not impressed by a candidate who inspires people, especially young ones, to read the great economists and political philosophers. (10) I am concerned about taxes. Therefore, I will not vote for the one candidate who has never supported a tax increase. (11) I believe it is conservative to support bringing the Enlightenment to Afghanistan. (12) Even though I lost half my retirement portfolio when the economy crashed from the sugar high the Federal Reserve's artificially low interest rates put it on, I would like to vote for someone who is not really interested in the Federal Reserve. (13) Even though 50 years of the embargo on Cuba did nothing to undermine Fidel Castro, and in fact handed him a perfect excuse for all the failures of socialism, I favor continuing this policy. (14) If someone has a drug problem, prison rape is the best solution I can think of. (15) Even though the Constitution had to be amended to allow for alcohol prohibition, and even though I claim to care about the Constitution, I don't mind that there's no constitutional authorization for the war on drugs, and I will punish at the polls anyone who favors the constitutional solution of returning the issue to the states. (16) I believe only a "liberal" would think it was inhumane to keep essential items out of Iraq in the 1990s, even though one of the first people to protest this policy was Pat Buchanan. (17) The Brookings Institution says Newt Gingrich's 1994 Contract with America was an insignificant nibbling around the edges. I favor people who support insignificant nibbling around the edges, as long as they occasionally trick me with a nice speech. (18) I am deeply concerned about radical Islam, so it was a good idea to depose the secular Saddam Hussein — who was so despised by Islamists that Osama bin Laden himself offered to fight against him in the 1991 Persian Gulf War — and replace him with a Shiite regime friendly with Iran, while also bringing about a new Iraqi constitution that makes Islam the state religion and forbids any law that contradicts its teachings. (19) Indefinite detention for U.S. citizens seems like nothing to be worried about, especially since our political class is so trustworthy that it could never abuse such a power. (20) Following up on (19), I believe Thomas Jefferson was just being paranoid when he said, "In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." (21) Even though the war in Iraq was based on crude propaganda I would have laughed at if the Soviet Union had peddled it, and even though the result has been hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, four million people displaced, trillions of dollars down the drain, tens of thousands of serious injuries among American servicemen and an epidemic of suicide throughout the military, not to mention the ruination of America's reputation in the world, I see no reason to be skeptical when the same people who peddled that fiasco urge me to support yet another war as my country is going bankrupt. (22) I do not trust the media. But when the media tells me I am not to support Ron Paul, who says things he is not allowed to say, I will comply. (23) I know the media will smear or marginalize anyone who would really fix this country. But when the media smears and marginalizes Ron Paul, I will draw no conclusion from this. (24) I want to be spoken to like this: "My fellow Americans, you are the awesomest of the awesome, and the only reason anyone in the world might be unhappy with your government is because of your sheer awesomeness." (25) I think it's a good idea to vote for Mitt Romney, whose top three donors are Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, and Morgan Stanley, and a bad idea to vote for Ron Paul, whose top three donors are the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Air Force. (26) I have not been exploited enough by the cozy relationship between large financial firms and the U.S. government, and I would like to see it continue. . "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
"It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth… For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it." - Patrick Henry END THE FED |

It's not just the wording that is fallacious, but the "thinking" behind it. It's a longer version or "Candidate X doesn't care about rape in schools!" because Candidate X may have voted against bill Y with unacceptable amendment Z. That's the sad thing about kookery, is that even if an idea might be worth discussing, posts like the OP are a sure sign that it's a person with whom a discussion is not worthwhile. |

The Chlorine Cure: A quick dip helps tame eczema
Posted by Cris on | August 31, 2011 | 2 Comments
Want to help clear up your child's eczema? Chuck them into the pool.
It sounds counterintuitive. Most people think chlorine dries out the skin, exacerbating eczema. It can, in long doses. But a short swim can do wonders.
A controlled dose of chlorinated pool water is actually good for eczema because it helps kill the bacteria that colonize the affected skin, says Prof. Hugo Van Bever, the head the Pediatric Allergy, Immunology & Rheumatology Department at Singapore's National University Hospital. Moisturizers designed to ease eczema, and even steroids, won't actually do much until that bacteria is killed off.
It's all about timing. If you stay in the pool too long, the chlorine will indeed dry the skin too much; so will the sun. So a child with eczema who goes for a long swim during the heat of the day will indeed suffer later on.
Dr. Van Bever advises his patients to go for a 10 to 15 minute swim during the evening, two or three times a week, then moisturize immediately afterwards. This regime that makes a marked difference for his patients, he says.
One thing to note: its not just about killing bacteria – so don't run out an buy an antibacterial wash and think that'll do the trick. Those soaps can harm sensitive, atopic skin, particularly on the face. Dr. Van Bever's pool therapy, meanwhile, is part of a broader approach to health. Allergies, including atopic skin conditions, travel in packs, and chances are a kid with food or other allergies has asthma and eczema too. Encouraging your child to swim and get active helps build strong lungs and a strong body, which increases the chance they'll suffer less from conditions like asthma later on. Clearing up the eczema is nice fringe benefit, and a good excuse to get active and outdoors.
I tested the pool therapy theory out last week. My daughter, The Bug, has had a very stubborn patch of eczema below her eye that has refused to budge for the last three months. Our pediatrician suggested I try Desowen, a steroid cream commonly prescribed for eczema. I tried two rounds of that, to no avail. The GP down the road thought it was actually ringworm, and gave me an antifungal cream. That didn't work, either. I took her a pediatric dermatologist, who gave me a different kind of steroid cream that worked for a few days, but the eczema came back. I tried it again, and it had no effect. My pediatric allergist gave me some non-steroid moisturizing creams, and said to apply it throughout the day. It cleared a little, but didn't disappear entirely. We were starting to feel very frustrated: the patch really bugged her, and I started to worry it was going to cause permanent damage to the skin under her eye.
Throughout all this, she was out of the pool for several months, first because our condo's pool was being repaired, then because she came down with a stubborn cough. Last week, she got back in, and swam every other day. Dr, Van Bever was right. The pool water, combined with the non-steroid moisturizer, has improved the patch notably. There's still a white patch there, but the dry, scaly skin has cleared up. How's that for a low-tech, low-cost cure? It's only a matter of time before some enterprising pharma company tries to bottle it and sell it.

September 6th, 2011 @ 12:32 amThanks for the post – this is very interesting! I must try it out! I have very very stubborn patches of eczema on my neck, scalp line and behind my ears and nothing is clearing it up!
October 6th, 2011 @ 11:21 amHow did it go!? Did you have any success? My daughter's patch has definitely improved – and has yet to return!

"These pancakes are a great way to use any similar veggi too. I've done them with peppers and onions and it works great. I agree on the side of sauce and generally make something from on-hand products.

The Mommy Files: Should You Avoid Energy Drinks?
I've only ever indulged in a Red Bull a few times … once when I was driving from Michigan to Maine and a few times when I needed to pull all-nighters to get work done.
And I always go with the sugar-free variety.
But I have to be honest, I've never even considered trying any of the other energy drinks on the market. Given all the reports of health issues, studies linking energy drinks with an increase in ER visits, and a recent investigation by the FDA that names 5-Hour Energy as the drink responsible for 13 different deaths, I was pretty much all set.
On the flip side, my husband drinks those Monster drinks like crazy … but he also consumes far more coffee than I do. I worry about his health, but the reality is, he's a grown-up right? And he constantly tells me I should worry more about keeping our teenager from drinking them.
And he's right.
On average, an adult can handle between 300 and 500 milligrams of caffeine a day … that's the equivalent to two or three cups of coffee, depending on how strong your cup of joe is. And, if we drink more than that, we're looking at getting the jitters, and possibly suffering an upset stomach.
However, with kids, it's a whole different story. For one, there's not enough studies to show the long-term effects of caffeine on growing kids and their brains. Plus, all that caffeine can disrupt sleep patters which, as they get older, get wonky as it is.
So, while adults can probably handle an energy drink every day (as long as you haven't already had two or three cups of coffee), kids should avoid them. This chart at WebMD gives you the caffeine count for a variety of drinks on the market.
What's your take on energy drinks? Do you ever use them?

How to register for CLP reimbursement fund for Storm Alfred damages
Connecticut Light and Power is collecting information from its customers who lost power as a result of the October snowstorm.
CL&P is in the process of establishing a fund that may reimburse customers for some losses.
It has yet to be determined how that money will be distributed.
Governor Dannel Malloy is currently working to determine the best way to set up a system that is fair and timely when it comes to disbursing the money.
He expects to make an announcement within two weeks.
He suggests that people save receipts for expenses attributable to loss of power from the storm.
United Way 2-1-1 is in the process of gathering information from Connecticut residents who sustained losses caused by the October Snowstorm.
To access information about reimbursements, visit www.211ct.org and click on CL&P in the upper right corner of the page.
When you visit the CL&P part of the site, you will fill out a survey that asks for contact information, how many days you were without power, and what kinds of losses you are claiming, such as:
- food loss and costs of eating meals at restaurants
- costs of staying at a hotel
- cost of gas for a power generator, as well as cost of flashlights, batteries and candles
lost wages
- damage to property from fallen trees, tree limbs and branches
- water damage caused by flooding
- fire damage
- and "other"
You also will have to include an estimate of total costs and indicate whether you have receipts for the expenses you are claiming.
Because so many people are registering their losses, there have been longer than usual call wait times and occasional delays in accessing 2-1-1 online.
Since 2-1-1 began this work earlier this month, more than 5,500 Connecticut residents have reported losses associated with the power outages by visiting www.211ct.org or calling 2-1-1.
If you wish to speak with a 2-1-1 call specialist to leave your storm-related information, dial 2-1-1 and staff is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Temperature Tests
With the TES 1326 Infrared Thermometer literally in hand we found ourselves getting real-world temperatures from the products we test at load (3D clock speeds).
There are two places we pull temperature from - the back of the card directly behind the core and if the card is dual slot and has an exhaust point we also pull a temperate from there, as seen in the picture.
The GTX 465 with the cooling option that Galaxy has offered isn't plagued with the same issues as higher end GTX 400 launch models.

My Last Duchess Power Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
(since none puts by The curtain I have drawn for you, but I) (9-10)
The Duke's first allusion to the great power he wields comes in a parenthetical aside, in which he lets slip, intentionally or unintentionally, that he alone controls access to his late wife's portrait. Even her image is under his jealous guard. The words "control freak" come to mind.
She thanked men, – good! but thanked Somehow – I know not how – as if she ranked My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name With anybody's gift. (31-34)
The Duke's emphasis on his family history and prestige – his "nine-hundred-years-old name" – is underscored by his choice of the word "ranked" to describe the way people should react to gifts. When was the last time you came up with a hierarchy of your birthday presents?
– E'en then would be some stooping; and I choose Never to stoop. (42-43)
Maintaining his own stiff-upper-lip dignity is more important to the Duke than dropping the Duchess a few hints that, if she doesn't start being a bit less happy-go-lucky, he's going to have her killed. "Stooping" would be a more serious threat to his power than her flirtatious nature.


text: To answer another question that was just left in the post by April, she wondered where I recommend going to print 12x12 pages. I personally use Costco. They cost $2.99 for a 12x12 print. Also, don't choose the "glossy" option because it dirties easily with fingerprints. I always choose "lustre."

MADISON, Wis.–For the third quarter which saw the closing of the company's merger with Russell Hobbs, Spectrum Brands reported a loss of $86.5 million, up from the third-quarter loss of $36.5 million last year.
The merger played a central role in the reddening in the company's bottom line, according to a Spectrum statement. Cash and non-cash charges and acquisition and integration costs contributed to a spike of 32 percent in total operating expenses for Spectrum. This offset a 10.9 percent gain in third-quarter net sales, which totaled $653.5 million and which included a 23 percent leap in shaving and grooming revenues in the Remington brand.
The merger with Russell Hobbs, formerly known as Salton Inc., closed on June 16 and brought small-appliance brands such as George Foreman, Black & Decker, Littermaid, Farberware and Toastmaster under the Spectrum brand umbrella. Annual sales for the company are expected to reach $3 billion.

Stirile copiate de pe un site sau altul, bune sau nu?
Amatorii de ştiri online ştiu la ce mă refer: căutaţi o informaţie anume şi o găsiţi împrăştiată pe o duzină de site-uri (sau chiar mai mult atunci cînd este ceva ce merge perfect cu şocant!, incredibil!, n-ai să crezi că…!, etc…). N-am de gînd să abordez acum cuvintele şi expresiile folosite de unii atît de des ca să atragă atenţia prostimii încît s-au uzat şi nu mai dai nici un scuipat pe ştirile de rahat care se ascund în spatele lor… dar sînt două aspecte pe care vreau să le abordez cînd vine vorba de ştiri şi de copierea lor de pe un site pe altul.
1. Din cîte ştiu (juriştii s-ar putea să mă contrazică), conform legislaţiei româneşti drepturile de autor care rezultă de pe urma compunerii unui text nu se aplică în cazul ştirilor care anunţă sau relatează evenimente, părerile unor terţe persoane şi alte chestii care intră în aceeaşi categorie de informare a publicului.
Ca o paranteză, sau un corolar (dacă vreţi să-i spuneţi aşa), această acţiune de informare mă pune în aceeaşi categorie larg cunoscută ca mass-media în care se află televiziunile, ziarele, fiţuicile (gen Spinul bihorean şi eBihoreanul pentru cunoscători) şi bloggerii.

SEO and the content writing services
I often noticed that a lot of web pages (especially the Romanian ones, the area we have the most activity) have a poor content or almont none content. Their search engine optimization on site and off site may be good or even excelent, but the lack of content is a step backward, especially when search engines like Google put accent on the uniqueness of the content.
It's not a new practice to improve your page with unique content, but a lot of people still don't know about that: they consider that creating a web page is enough, and with little maintenance and updating information on it they will be the first on Google, Yahoo and Bing in the results list. That's wrong, and the maintenance/updating the site and it's content must be continuous in order to be and to remain on the first page of the results list.
We are offering content writing services to improve the quality of your web site. The articles are dedicated to your activity and the products/services you are offering. Contact us to make you a good offer.
The original article and the company providing those services are here.
Web design and seo services
Do you want a web page or a web application? Excelent. Do you have a webdesigner or a web company to create your application? Good. Use them. What about the promotions of your product on the internet after delivery? Usually, the page is realease and that's all, the webdesigner's job is done and it is your bussiness to get somebody to promote your page or application and to get it well-known.
It's the year 2011 Christian era and I started creating pages (professionaly speaking) about 7 years ago. I've picked up some stuff about search engine optimization in the last several years, but only lately, since the beginning of the last year, I have started to give it the necessary attention. Several weeks ago I had to make some minor improvements in one older page and I was a little ashamed… it was very poorly optimized for the search engines.
We are offering these services, but I am not going to convince you in any way to come to us… all I want is to give you some piece of advice: the web designing and the seo always work great together. The best pages are the ones that promote theirselves, in the matter of their content, how they looks (the design) and, the most important, their structure. The content and the design will make the people talk about the web page or the web application, but it will not bring it in the first 10 results of the search engines.
There still are companies and webdesigners that offer web development services and seo services, I know at least a few of them. It's a good way to make some extra money from some clients that have no idea about what is a web page and how the search engines works: to create a web page with a minimum optimization on site and to offer that optimization as an auxiliary service. This works more often than you might think, but the client will always lose something: time, money or both.
So, when you decide to get a web site or a web application put the condition when picking up somebody to work on it: that the product must contain the basics or extended optimization for the search engines on site (integrated in the application).
WordPress and the HeadSpace2 plugin
Lately, in the past few weeks, I had to configure some wordpress blogs and to design some themes for them, they were a requirement for some clients as a easy-to-use script to complete the content of their page and to improve it's ranking on the internet.
I don't want to tell you about what powerful tool is wordpress, I believe the most of already know that… and if you don't know it then find out now: some people say that wordpress rules and the are right. If you know what you want and you don't need complicated stuff (like online stores with lots and lots of products and online payment or some good looking moving or flying things in flash) than wordpress is one of the best options for you. It's great for blogging (that's why it's so well known – everybody can create a blog and start writing now) and for pages that has to present several things and that don't something very expensive. If you know what you want when the designer starts to work on your wordpress blog you can have a good result in less than a day: the installation of the script, it's configuration and the installation of the plugins, even the theme if you use one of the several existing tools on the market.
For the moment I want to stop and dedicate this entry to a specific plugin that's a great tool for the search engine optimization part of the blog. The wordpress scripts come with some seo facilities but their beauty is that they can always be improved by using plugins, and everyone can create his/her own plugin and to install in on his/her blog (unless it's on wordpress domain – it's their domain, they make the rules, you can't just any kind of plugins).
They say here about the HeadSpace (the subject of this article) that:
HeadSpace is a powerful all-in-one plugin to manage meta-data and to handle a wide range of SEO tasks. With it you can tag your posts, create custom titles and descriptions that improve your page ranking, change the theme or run disabled plugins on specific pages, and a whole lot more.
I am not going copy to from them the informations they are offering about the plugin or to repeat the most important parts of the text, they explain everything you need to know about it and how to start using it.
Consider my recommendation about this excellent script and use it. It's a tool that you (almost) need and if you configure it in the right way it will improve the seo and the rank of your blog for sure.

Search engine optimization (seo)
We offer consultance for search engine optimization and we implement this optimization where it does not exists. The web pages we design have the seo integrated, but not all the designers do this and the pages must be optimized later. The sites designed in flash, for instance, are almost not existent for seo. even with the fast improvements from the search engines point of view and these sites have to be helped (further designed in ways that are not always seen by the visitors) to be found easier by the internet users. We offer alternative solutions for this, but you have to contact us to analize your site and to offer you the best options.
The details depend for each project, a list of the clients (and the web pages) to whom we offered consultance or we redesigned to match seo criterias is here. One of our projects for the consulting when web design, software developing and search engine optimization are involved is at http://www.webdesign-software-code-seo.com. We invite you to read more about the subjects and call us.
We are located in Oradea, Bihor county, Romania.

I'm watching my sons dog for a few weeks and he is licking and scratching a lo, particularly around the penis area.. I have been giving him some dollar store rawhide. Is there a possibility that this may be causing it? He is having no problems urinating. He is a Beagle - 5 years old. |
Follow-Up Postings:
rawhides are forbidden in my house. they are not digestible and will often cause an intestinal blockage that will lead to a very expensive surgery. i would think rawhides from the dollar store are even worse junk than what you would get elsewhere. i love the dollar store, don't get me wrong, but it's the last place i would buy any kind of chewable toy for my dogs. it's quite possible these are causing the beagle's problem. i suspect they are loaded with preservatives of all kinds and he could be having a reaction to such. if he's an avid chewer and needs something to keep him occupied, see if you can find some bully sticks. (if you don't know what they are, ironically, they are dried bull penises). they are great treats and dogs LOVE them! also, you could get a small kong and stuff it with peanut butter or cream cheese and then freeze it. it'll keep him busy for a good while. |
Licking around the abdomen can be from a multitude of possible problems from fleas, to urinary scalding, to allergic dermatitis that is not flea related... but I think the liklihood that it has anything to do with ingested rawhide is extremely remote. |

I would NOT buy dollar store raw hides if you are going to give them buy some good quality ones without chemicals. Like lzrddr said it can be a lot of things. Yeast comes to my mind first and can be brought on by food allergies. Be really careful what you feed him and do not treat with anything sweet which feeds yeast. Food allergies are extremely common these days...dog food, the cheaper stuff(even the not so cheap stuff!) is loaded with corn which is now genetically modified which makes it really harmful. Of course, he could just have fleas! |
Corn is certainly NOT the most common thing for dogs to develop food allergies to. In fact, it is about 6-7 on the list. Not sure 'cheapness' of the ingredients has any effect on allergies, either. But the more ingredients that are found in the diet, the more opportunities for a dog's immune system to develop an allergy to them. Food allergies are not uncommon, but still far less common than other allergies (fleas being at the top of the list) such as pollens, house dust mites and other environmental antigens. |

Retail Package contains 3 Jars Omega3 Control-It!©
From Raising Children, © 1994 by Billy E. Pennal, Ph.D.
Once upon a time there was a very young girl who had a very bad habit of biting her nails. Her little fingers ended in sometimes bloody nubs. Her parents tried everything they could think of to get her to stop biting her nails but nothing worked. Even the nasty stuff which is painted on nails to make them taste bad had no effect other than to hurt her little fingers. She had to soak her fingers daily in a medicinal solution to prevent infection. In short, this was a real problem for the little girl as well as for her parents.
Actually, the little girl seemed to have no motivation to stop. I think she enjoyed biting her nails and hated to give it up. She was not concerned about how her fingers looked at that age and she had grown accustomed to them the way they were.
This is an example of how ineffective punishment as a behavior modifier can be. The nasty stuff was a punisher, it was administered immediately when she put her fingers in her mouth to bite her nails, it was very aversive and by all accounts it should have been effective. However, it was not.
The fact that she liked to bite her nails and received a reward for doing it was stronger than the punisher that was painted on her fingers. The only thing to do here would have been to increase the severity of the punisher so it would offset the pleasure she got from biting her nails. With children, that is not a very good option. You can hurt them physically and emotionally by misuse of punishers.
As she got older and her friends noticed her fingers it started to become more of a problem for her, however. Finally, she came to me and said in a little, plaintive voice "Daddy, please help me stop biting my nails." The little girl happened to be my daughter. How could I ignore a request such as this?
The ineffective attempts at behavior modification had failed previously because we didn't have much to work with that would counter the enjoyment she got from biting her nails. We had been trying to use some punishment techniques (such as the nasty nail paint) and as I have said previously, punishment is the least effective way to change behavior. Now that she wanted to stop for herself, she had a motivation that could help with the project.
Now, in a case like this there is a more complex problem to deal with than simple modification of her behavior. She had a habit to break also. My definition of a habit is a behavior that has become unconscious and automatic. In this case, she was biting her nails not only because she liked to do it, but also because she was not aware she was doing it most of the time. We had to get control of the habit part of this behavior as well as to change the behavior. We now had her working with us and she had a strong motivation to succeed. This was our best asset.
Since this was a two-fold problem, I reasoned it would be more effective if we could combine a habit-breaking technique with common-sense behavior modification. To break a habit, the primary job is to change the unconscious, automatic components of the behavior. It is very simple to do this, but it can also be very difficult at the same time even though it is simple. The rule for breaking a habit is simply to monitor the habit. This means you must call it to your attention whenever you find you are doing your habit. The first step is to define the behavior that is the habit. In this case, we defined the behavior as "any time her hands touched her face for any reason." The next step is what I call the "Whoops!" response. That is, whenever she touched her hand to her face, she was to mentally say "Whoops!" to herself, or something like that. This is a way of marking on your mental blackboard and sort of keeping score. In other words, monitoring the habit.
This was quite a lot to expect of such a little girl, so I tried to combine a little fun as well as science to the project. I gave her a golf counter, which looks like a wrist watch, but keeps count of how many times a plunger on the counter is pressed. She was to wear it on her wrist like a watch and every time she found that she touched either hand to her face anywhere, she was to press the plunger on the counter. At the end of the day, she was to come to me and together we would plot the number of counts (face touches) on a graph. Notice how she was being rewarded for doing the components of this project. I still believe my daughter likes me a lot and my undivided attention to our little project was very rewarding to her. She was being rewarded for doing the things involved with the project.
She looked on this as a game and seemed to enjoy the activities of keeping count of the times her hand touched her face. At first, the number on the counter was very high. She was catching herself touching her hands to her face often. She was probably touching her face many times that she was not aware and these didn't get counted. The theory of habit breaking is the unconscious starts becoming conscious and not automatic as the person becomes aware of the habit. As it becomes less unconscious through monitoring, it becomes easier to notice because it is becoming less unconscious. Thus the circle grows more and more toward awareness of the unconscious habit. If a person consciously and deliberately does some behavior, that is not a habit, but a thing the person wants to do. Habit-breaking techniques will not work in that case.
After a few days, we noticed the line on her graph was starting to go downward. Soon after that, it went down very fast, and within about one or two weeks, the number of counts was down to about one or two per day. Her graph had settled down to a straight line just above the zero point on the graph. Remember, this was just a count of how many times she caught herself touching her face. We were not counting nail biting. Of course, it's pretty hard to bite your nails without touching your face with your hands. The act of pressing the counter helped her monitor and also provided a punishing stimulus for behavior modification. We were modifying the behavior of nail biting, and the behavior of habitually doing something.
Being a perfectionist, I thought one or two times per day was still too much. I figured we could get down to zero by adding an additional slight punishing factor to the situation. This part was probably not necessary. At that time she was getting a small allowance each week, and seemed to like getting the money. So I told her that starting immediately, for each count she would lose one nickel of her allowance for the week. She lost about two nickels and the count went to zero and stayed there.
Now I know what you are thinking. You believe she was still biting her nails, but she was smart enough to quit pressing the counter. After all, I wasn't following her around during the day to check on her. She could have just lied about the counter. True, she could have done that; however, her nails were growing the entire time and there was absolutely no evidence she was biting her nails at all. Prior to this, she had nubs for finger tips, and after our project started, she had finger nails for the first time in her life. To this day, she still has long, beautiful nails and she now has a little girl of her own.
Let's review what happened and see how behavior modification principles were applied to the problem of nail biting. The habit component required modification as well as the behavioral component. We used the habit-breaking technique of monitoring the habit, and we used reward for success and punishment for failure. The punishment in this case involved the act of pressing the counter. This functioned as a mild punisher since it was associated with nail biting. The loss of a nickel of her allowance was a punisher which was a bit more severe for her than the counter press. It probably was not needed, but it didn't involve anything very bad and maybe it helped. This is a case where the positive, rewarding part of the behavior modification was just a general reward of attention of a significant adult for doing the project. The punishment part was the main component of the process in this case.
Normally, I don't believe in the use of punishment as a way of modifying behavior. Sometimes, however, there seems to be no other way. Punishment is a difficult method to use effectively without causing some more undesirable behaviors or personality changes to take place. Given enough control and severe enough punisher, you could probably change anyone's behavior to anything you wanted it to be. The prisoners of war who were brainwashed are a good example of this. Even then, however, some of the prisoners resisted the brainwashing despite some very severe punishers being used. You certainly wouldn't want to break your child's spirit or brainwash him.
There have been two lessons in this chapter. You have learned about how to break a habit, and how to use a very mild punisher to help a person change something he wants to change. If the person doesn't want to change, this method won't work. You will probably have to try some of the prison camp techniques and I don't want to help you with that. The principles illustrated in this chapter apply to all kinds of habits you may want to break in yourself or to help your child break in himself, provided that is what the child wants.
Get on the program, you will see results in just days!

This is the first try posting any message here and I would like to not go back to a subject that I now realize is long gone by..... re: the word Kaffir (as in Kaffir Lily). I was born in Natal, So Africa and had wanted to join in the discussion since I have a feeling that I am the only black that would have participated in the discussion. As I said at the beginning, the subject is old and seemingly closed, thus will only say, "Hi everyone". |
Natalmum, I just realized what "Kaffir" refers to after a conversation with a S. African friend. Let's just agree t call it clivia and leave it at that, right? Some old names are best left for the books (wandering jew, etc.) |

Infiniti M35 / M45 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
keithand Posts: 10Thanks to the previous poster re 10-12K off I purchased a new 2008 M35 base model in moonlight white/ wheat.
The MSRP was $44,365 which included the trunk lid spoiler, trunk mat, splash guards and the dealer threw in wheel locks and nitrogen filled tires. Got the car for $32,250 plus tax, title, plate transfer and dealer fees which they would not budge on and added $599.00. The total paid though was $35,001.83 OTD.
Nice looking and riding car. Wife would have preferred a SUV but heck she already has her 2005 Thunderbird Convertible so she can't complain.
Wanted to lease and get a new car every 24-36 months but buying was only feasible way to go. Looks like leasing is going away. -
ocim Posts: 45That is a fantastic deal. Is there some kind of rebate going on here. I have never heard anyone getting this much of a discount on a [non-permissible content removed] luxury car before. I am interested in purchasing a 2009 M35X with the NAV system (probably in late December or early January). Can anyone tell me how much I can a reasonably expect to get off of MSRP. When I looked at this car almost two years ago, they were not dealing much, perhaps $1000 to $1500 off of MSRP. I live in the Pittsburgh area, but would be willing to travel up to 500 miles if the deal was right.
3fromtheedge Posts: 4Let me see if I get this right. I'm in NJ and the most common configuration I see with the 2008's that are left over is AWD+Tech+Xenon/AFS+splash guards+trunk mat and the MSRP is listed at $50,885.
So, I'm going to look for a deal that's $38,885 plus tax, lic. reg. I know that at that price the 0.0% is not on the table, but it sounds like they want you to finance through them. Does anyone know what their rate is?. This is the first car I ever looked where I feel like I'm in the superior position. -
bmn08m45 Posts: 1My fiancee' and I also purchased a brand new left-over 2007 Pearl White M45 Sport from the same dealer. With the negotiated price of $34998.00 and our trade in, we paid $30,009.00 (after taxes and miscellaneous add-ons). The sticker was for $55,000+. It has the stone color interior. I could not believe the deal. I agree with you regarding the snow handling of this vehicle, but if the snow we have received is the same as our past couple of years, it will be bearable. Legacy Infinity in Lynbrook, NY is the dealer. BMN
veragen Posts: 34Hey 3fromtheedge, What Infiniti NJ-dealership present this 2008 M35 MSRP listed price $50,885 w / following features: AWD + Tech-pak + Xenon / AFS + Splash Guards + Trunk Mat and with a deal-offer of $38,885 plus tax, lic. reg. that's $12K off-sticker :surprise:
BMN & Drakarula, Congrads! on your new 2007 M from NY-dealership as well that's $19K - $20K off-sticker. Do y'all have the same features on the M Sport.
Adv. Thx.
VeraGen -
drakarula Posts: 12Great deal. Wow you did great! They gave me a 10 year 100K powertrain warranty as well in my deal. I didn't trade anything in. I am also getting $500 off on my excess millage on my last car for a loyalty bonus. I don't know if they have any left but it was Such a great price I wasn't kidding. I got the M45 sport with the Tech package (not advanced Tech). I had the rosewood in my previous sport paid like 600 for the option then and had them swap the wood into the new car free of charge. Have put 800 fun miles so far no problems!
3fromtheedge Posts: 4Yeah, I'm skeptical also. That was the point of my post. Some have received offers $12000 off MSRP. I was trying to find out if it was realistic to expect a negotiation to get near that number in NJ. And, if so, to get the name of the dealer.
I was looking to lease and with various amounts of money down, I have received internet offers of between $500 to $600 per month. If the prices are that low, I would consider purchasing. I'll post what my experience is when I tell them I'd consider purchase instead of lease if the deal was better. -
cael Posts: 8Looking at Edmunds TMV this morning for an 08 M35 with tech and sport packages, it shows the "what others are paying" to be $41,831 ($7884 under MSRP, $3636 under invoice) - Not including any rebates. I wonder if I can get them to do this as the cap cost on a 36 month lease. Austin Infiniti, biggest Infiniti dealer in the US. I think I am going to offer that to them today..
chacko22 Posts: 8I have been talking to different dealers for the best price on a 2008 M35 with Tech package, splash guards, trunk mat, and dealer tinted windows in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The best offer I received on that vehicle was $39,995 drive out (vehicle MSRP is $48,335, invoice is $44,237, and that does not include the tint).
The best financing a dealer offered me for that price was 5.09%, but I can get my own financing through a credit union for 3.9%.
Anyone getting anything better in D/FW? I haven't purchased yet as I am curious to see if prices will go lower as it gets closer to the 2009s coming in. -
wvgasguy Posts: 1,405... are dealing. After reading these threads I decided I may just trade my hybrid in for a M35x. I expected a beating on the trade but the deal looked straight forward.
On the "final" offer from the dealer (in Pittsburgh), they showed me getting $7500 off of MSRP on the M. I said the rebate (several times they corrected me to imform me it was no a rebate _I knew that but refused to let them think it's their money) is $7500 straight from Infiniti. That means you didn't discount the car at all from the dealership.
Then they showed me the trade value. It was Kelly Blue Book trade value LESS tires and a few small items. Basically they want to give me trade in value less this cost to fix it up, so they spend a few bucks at my expense to turn it into a KBB "retail" value that is about $6,000 higher than what they gave me.
I had purchased an FX45 back in 2004 from this dealer. I don't necessarily expect a great deal, but I refuse to walk out of a dealership without letting them know that I know better.
When I got home I looked at the current trade in value on the 2008M35x with normal milage and it appears that even with the huge discounts the value I would recieve from the car was almost $10,000 less than what I would pay for it.
I'm considering going to used cars
Also, they had a 2007M45 sport with a MSRP of $55,000. It was new with only 188 miles. I asked if they were collecting it or was it for sale? It was RWD he said and it did not move. He said I could probably get $10K knocked off of it. I laughed, it may be new but it's still 2 years old as a 2007 model.
Looks like I'll hunt for a deal somewhere else. -
chacko22 Posts: 8Yes jdyahoo, the "drive-out" price includes all taxes, fees, etc. It's the price that I would walk out the door with. In my experience, Sewell was not very willing to negotiate much. I even told them the prices I was getting at the other dealers, but their prices were still about $1k higher.
readyformyrl Posts: 66
bmn07m45 Posts: 1We also got the M45 Sport with the Tech Package (not the advanced). We did not think the wood trim would look good with the Stone interior. I inquired into the 10year/100000 warranty, however, those advertisements were for the used vehicles. My fiancee and I do not keep cars over 5 years anyway, so it didn't phase us. I love the car more than she does...only because her true love has been BMWs. Once she test drove this car, she said she felt confident like in her 5 series BMer. I drive a 2008 Trailblazer SS, so I am thinking once the baby comes along, I will be driving the M45 Sport...LOL! Just so you know, we had to bring the car back to the dealership, the car pulled to the right when braking. After looking over the brake system, which showed nothing, they checked the tire pressures and sure enough, one of the tires had close to 38PSI. They reset the computer system that checks the pressure, as it didn't warn us on the dash. They tested it, provided a receipt (no charge of course) and I was on my way after an hour and 15 minutes of waiting. No more pulling in either direction, but will be checking the pressure manually for a while. Car is mint..will be taking photos shortly.

drakarula Posts: 12Factory to dealer incentives are exactly as they sound. It is the dealers option to pass any of the savings to the consumer. Now that said and dealers hurting they are just about all going to fall all over themselves to give the best price. It is something you can use as a negotiating tool. MSRP is suggested. Invoice is about what the dealer is paying minus any holdbacks or other incentives or volume discounts. I would take invoice and minus the 7500 and use that as your basis to start your negotiating. I wouldn't move more than $500 over that. Remember now is a great time to buy and remember you have $$ you control the outcome. Good Luck.

redline122 Posts: 67Hello All,
I was wondering if any one had the details to the December cash/finance/lease programs? I understand that the December programs were to be announced today 12/2 - this is what the Internet Sales Manager told me last night.
Well, I am eyeing an 2008 M45 with the following line items:
Base - 50250
Tech/Nav Pkg - 3350
Sport Pkg - 1650
Trunk Mat - 105
Destination - 815
I've reviewed the VPP numbers and I am NOT impressed (as a D-plan business associate). Enough about VPP...
As for invoice negotiating this is what I was thinking (with a little help from CR New Car Pricing)
Base - 46978
Nav/Tech - 2887
Sport - 1422
Trunk Mat - 76
Destination - 815
So far these numbers haven't factored in any dealer cash incentives (in November it was $7000 for the M45)
Any thoughts on how aggressive I can be to get the final price down? And then consider other incentives based on how I acquire the vehicle (cash/finance/lease)?
I would be getting the vehicle in Southern CA. -
redline122 Posts: 67Okay... so here's the scoops from one of the So Cal dealers:
MSRP > 49770 (Sport and Tech)
Invoice > 45544
Cash Incentive > -7500
Invoice > 51364
As for leases, the money factors (as of 12/2) were 0.0001, but the residuals are horrendous (for a 35 it is 44%, and for the 45 it is 42%)
Time to consider OPM and not from Infiniti Finance... hmm... Maybe I should offer an even lower cash purchase number?... -
chacko22 Posts: 8Right, taking the incentive eliminates you from the 0% financing. I crunched the numbers and it makes sense to take the incentive off the price, even if you get a 5% interest rate on your loan.
I have not made a purchase yet. I'm trying to wait it out as long as I can to see if dealers get desperate to get rid of one for a better price. As it stands, those are great offers and I probably should buy one and be on my way.
For an update, I went to Sewell over the weekend and their final drive-out price was around $40,350 for tech package, splash guards, trunk mat, tint, and wheel locks. -

An alternative and holistic take on the traditional Childbirth Education course.
Encompassing study of herbs, homeopathy, accupressure points, folk medicine, yoga and pranayama we aim to facillitate concious, joyous, transformative childbirth.
This course covers the creation of a birth plan, working out all the aspects and alternatives of a birth, accessing your expectations, desires and philosophies and how best to facilitate them in your choices for birth.
We discuss what is involved in choosing a birth team and have an evening for partners to attend, to ask questions, to gain insights and to learn tools and techniques that will help make thier role at the birth fulfilling and nourishing for all three of you.
The presentation of this information comes in combination with the ancient study of yoga, and the very natural marriage that exists between birth and yoga practice. Thus a familiarity grows within us as we combine the pregnant body with the development of knowledgae for the pregnant mind and the soul of the child within.Babies love it when thier mummy breaths.
Yoga is the gateway to the trust, confidence and wisdom that we require to give birth free of fear and pain. (Yes this is possible!)
Knowledge is the defender of calm and reason, keeping anxiety and panic in check and propelling us forward into motherhood in beauty grace and trust.
Price includes all course materials, yoga classes and take home sequences as well as traditional birth knowledge from both Eastern and Western traditions and real life birth stories from my work as a doula and birth advocate. Invaluable and essential, womens story telling is as old as birth itself.
