Revision as of 13:45, 23 January 2009
- 1 Basic Procedures
- 2 Oklahoma's ballot access rating
- 3 Initiative and Referendum Law
Basic Procedures
In order to file an initiative in Oklahoma, take your initiative petition in final camera-ready artwork form to the Secretary of State. Once the initiative is filed with the Secretary of State, you can begin to collect signatures.
Note: the legislature or the Governor can order an initiative to appear on a special election ballot.
Oklahoma is the only state that requires the name of the petition signer to be on the back of the petition.
The initiative can be submitted for the November general election at any time. However, the Secretary of State recommends submitting them 8 months prior to the election. This is because the state has a provision that the ballot title set by the Secretary of State can be challenged. If a ballot title is challenged, the state supreme court reviews the challenge. Since there is no statutory requirement to rule on the challenge, there have been instances where courts have taken over a year to make a ruling. However, the absolute latest deadline for submitting signatures is 60 days prior to the election (primary or general).
See petition drive deadlines in 2008.
Circulation period
Each individual petition has its own deadline. Once the petition drive has commenced, the signatures must be collected and turned in to the government within ninety days of the day the first signature was collected.
Number of required signatures
- Main article: Oklahoma signature requirements
The number of signatures that must be collected is tied to the total votes cast for the office receiving the most votes in the last General Election. Below are the number based on the 2005 General Election. Signatures are presumed valid unless challenged.
- Referendum (5%) 46,324
- Initiative (8%) 74,117
- Initiative for Constitutional Change (15%) 138,970
- Rejected Initiative or Referendum Measures (25%) 231,616 (1)
Distribution requirement
Residency of circulators
- Main article: Residency requirements for petition circulators
In 1969, Oklahoma passed a law saying that petition circulators must be residents of the state. In October 2007, Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson launched a criminal prosecution of Paul Jacob, Susan Johnson and Rick Carpenter for allegedly violating the state's residency requirement in a 2005 petition drive to put the Stop Overspending initiative on the state's ballot.
The residency requirement was, at the time of Edmondson's indictment, being challenged in federal court in the case of Yes on Term Limits v. Savage as unconstitutional. On December 18, 2008, the Tenth Circuit unanimously invalidated Oklahoma's residency law on the grounds of unconstitutionality.[1]
Edmondson then, on January 22, announced both that the residency requirement is no longer "legally enforceable" and that he was dropping his prosecution of the Oklahoma 3.[2]
See also: Oklahomans for Modern Alcoholic Beverage Controls v. Shelton.
Single Subject Restriction
Oklahoma has a single-subject rule.
Legislative tampering
The legislature can both repeal and amend initiatives, according to a court ruling.
Oklahoma's ballot access rating
In June of 2007, Ballot Access News gave Oklahoma the lowest rating for its ballot access rules for putting the names of minor political parties on the ballot, due to its having the largest (3 percent) requirement of signatures needed to place a party on the ballot.[3]

|Vote Early - Vote Often for ACH Video!
No, it's not a Chicago city election. This is for "Scrub A Dub-Dub," that hand-washing how-to video with the infectious (pun intended) vocals of patients Jerry & Josie Herman. The video was written and produced by the All Children's Creative Services Department.
You can help win the boys some fabulous recognition in THE PEOPLE'S TELLY AWARDS!
Now in its 32nd year, the Telly Awards recognize creative excellence in video. In addition to having industry experts judge videos submitted in numerous categories, this year the Tellys are letting YOU judge your favorites by viewing the nominees on You Tube and registering your favorites with a big "thumbs up!"
You can vote for more than one video (but, hey - why would you!?). You can vote more than once a day. You just have to vote before April 22nd.
Click here to vote now AND later! And share with all your friends!!
"The idea was to create something that would appeal to both kids and adults," says Creative Services Director Mike Sexton, who wrote and performed the music. "It needed to be catchy - something memorable enough to remind people to wash their hands."
Just how important is that? "Proper hand-washing is our number one defense against the spread of infection," says JoEllen Harris, RN, of All Children's Infection Prevention Office. "With this video, we're demonstrating the steps needed to thoroughly remove the dirt and germs that spread illness. And we're encouraging our patients and families to remind their caregivers how important this simple step is to the healing process."
The music video is now part of the hospital's Get Well Network TV/internet/gaming system in each patient room. It's set up to be the first thing a patient & family views when they are admitted.

Jean de Villiers says the first two Tests against Argentina will be the Springboks' most important with regards to building some early momentum in the Rugby Championship.
The Boks will play Argentina in Cape Town on 18 August before facing the Pumas in Mendoza on 25 August. They're the easiest fixtures when one considers that the Boks have never lost to Argentina, and that the other two teams in the tournament, Australia and New Zealand, have enjoyed a good record against South Africa in recent times.
But on Wednesday, the Bok captain said that Argentina won't be easy-beats, and that the first two matches of the campaign are vitally important for reasons beyond results.
'It [complacency] is a trap we won't fall into,' said De Villiers. 'These two games are the most important in the tournament. Argentina will be psyched up given it's their first appearance, they will be throwing everything they have at us.
'For us, it's important to build on what we achieved in that England series. We were disappointed with the way we ended the series [with a draw in Port Elizabeth]. We have to look at the positives of that series and bring it all together in one 80-minute performance.
'We see it as a big positive to play against Argentina, and we're not looking past that.'
The majority of the squad got together on Sunday, while the Sharks' Boks, who competed in the Super Rugby final in Hamilton, have now joined the team in Cape Town.
The Boks will enjoy two weeks of preparation ahead of that first Test against Argentina, a marked difference to the build up to the England series where they were only afforded a few days together before the first Test.
'There's a different mindset knowing you don't have another tournament to go back to,' said De Villiers. 'We played against England knowing we would have to go back to the Super 15. But now all of our focus is on this tournament [the Rugby Championship]. It must also be a positive that we have a whole extra week to prepare compared to that England series.'
The Bok captain defended the game plan, and believes it could bring them success in the coming months. He did concede that the team would need to be more accurate in their implementation of this playing pattern.
'We didn't have much time for preparation ahead of that England series, so we stuck to a simple game plan. In saying that, we scored two great tries on the counterattack in the second half of that first Test, and we've not seen that side of Bok rugby for awhile.
'The rugby we played in first half of the second Test was outstanding. There are areas that we can improve but there are also good signs. Hopefully we can evolve, but the more rugby changes the more it stays the same. It's about getting into the right areas and taking your opportunities.'
De Villiers also defended flyhalf Morné Steyn, who along with the Bok game plan came in for some strong criticism after the third Test against England.
The skipper feels that Steyn is the right man for the Boks and that the only area in Steyn's game that is below par is his goal-kicking.
'I tend to disagree with that perception [that Steyn is in a bad space mentally]. His general play in that England series was very good, it was only his kicking at goal that let him down a bit.
'We're so used to him kicking at 90 percent, so when he doesn't there is some concern. But his decision making on attack has been good, and he's varied his play well.
'He's in a good place mentally, and hopefully he can sort out the kicking. We are not too concerned.'
By Jon Cardinelli, in Cape Town

Funny story.
So i have a plumbing issue and scheduled maintenance to take care of it while i was at work. The issue is in my bedroom bathroom, which is near my shelf of around 50-75 fragrances. Im ocd about how everything is organized on my shelf. I get home, and EVERY LAST BOTTLE is turned, or misplaced by an inch or two, and it definitely looks off. I dont blame him for wanting to check it out, but damn, you cant make it look any more obvious? you have a job to do and you have time to fool around with every single bottle? lol. Anyways. i hope he sniffed out something he likes.
Funny story.
That would drive me absolutely batshit crazy! Im very territorial about my living space. If somebody asks first Ill give you the shirt off my own back, but taking without asking infuriates me to no end. I would have called his employer and had him fired for something like that. I respect you for handling this so well.
Hopefully he is inspired to start his own collection.. Funny story btw
You are suggesting a man lose his means of support, his ability to feed clothe and shelter himself and his family. What he did was rude and impolite, what you suggest is evil. Hopefully you were simply engaging in hyperbole and would never actually try to ruin someone for such a small impertinence.
Oh, I know I'd be angry! Had a similar situation while staying in a hotel. Left the room and the maid opened up my toiletry case and helped herself to not only several sprays of perfume but my make-up too. Ick! Then left it all out on the counter! You better believe I spoke with her superior, though I was not trying to have her fired (and she wasn't). But people who lack boundaries must be taught.
The nose wants what it wants!
Good story. And I'm glad you have a sense of humor about it. The maintenance guy was pretty indiscreet and a bit rude, though. On the plus side, maybe you created a new fraghead!
And I agree with Awakening950's take on it.
As long as he hasn't nicked anything, I would put it down to experience.
I wasnt too bothered by it tbh. i was more amused than anything. He was so caught up with it , he left his otter phone case on my nightstand. Really? A phone case? Who leaves a phone case on someones night stand???
Haha, in all seriousness, though, knowing that he was going through my personal possessions would definitely upset me. I'm a pretty understanding and forgiving guy, and like to give people the benefit of the doubt where possible, but this would still bother me and make me wonder what else he might have been "going through" while in my place alone. It just speaks to someone's character, especially when they're supposed to be doing a job.
How is he to know which bottles might be extremely expensive or have a lot of sentimental value? What if he sprayed a few sprays of an extremely expensive bottle that had very little left to begin with? Worse, what if he accidentally broke or spilled something by messing around with them. It's an extremely careless, rude and disrespectful action....especially because it's obvious when someone has a "collection" displayed like that, that it's bound to be important to them in some way. Messing with that is without a doubt a violation of personal space and quite likely worse than that. The thing is, it's not that one act that's the real issue, it's the questions it raises about what else is going on and what the person's character is. Basically, again, what else is he doing when nobody else is looking? More power to you if you take it lightly and in stride, but for future instances, I'd personally make sure anything of value was hidden and/or locked up before allowing him to fix anything like that, without supervision, again.
Lol. A fragrance collection is an attractive view...
Haha funny story. He probably went home to his wife smelling like your Aventus!
Great story. Lol at everyone getting mad at something you think is funny. Most maintenance guys would probably look at a collection like that and not think about it for 2 seconds. Its really funny that he was so fascinated that he tested every bottle.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
how rude. give that man a few 1ml decants.
As long as nothing is missing, I wouldn't be upset at all.
What if you saw him after work and he smelled good? Lol
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Rude but funny, I wouldntmind if it happened to me, but it would make me paranoid to think what else he tried on lol
If he is bonded that would be an infraction. What else could he have gone through? I would be very suspicious and report it to his boss. I don't think it is to much to expect that your things not be gone through by a maintaiance person. Uncouth to say the least.
Some Favorites
1. Amouage Epic man
2. Dior Leather Oud
3. Perris Monte Carlo Oud Imperial Black
4. Le Labo Patchouli 24
5. Amouage Opus VII
6. Byredo Bullion
7. Masque Milano Russian Tea
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
I mean it's not good that he looked through your stuff, but fired? Idk I think that's too harsh.
Funny story though haha
Great story! Lol. I wish I could think of something funny to add, but I'm drawing a blank...
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
Is it possible he moved them completely off the shelf as to not risk breaking anything?
Who here wouldn't pick up a bottle or two from an awesome collection?
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
-Oscar Wilde
I'd probably get mad myself. I'm an OCD/germaphobe person, and in general I don't like people touching my stuff.
Then again if I was expecting a stranger employee to be in my personal area while I'm not there, I'd prob. lock/close doors, put away stuff that I wouldn't want to go 'missing' and stuff before the person even arrives.
Just report it to his boss. Not out of spite but for him to learn to distinguish between being professional and unprofessional.
Some people actually do have vintage or discontinued perfumes in small quantities sitting on a shelf in their bathroom. Right scent? LOL

He probably admired and sniffed a few. Maybe even sampled. The thought of a fresh smelling plumber amuses me.
I have prospective buyers touring my house this AM. My collection is on full display on my dresser. The mind races. At least the agent will be with them! If they buy my house, I'd give them their pick of a bottle!
sounds like he just bumped into it with his tools and was nice enough to try and put things back how they were. always assume the best; the vast majority of people are good. plus, it is not to is advantage in business terms to be looking around your stuff.
Hi, this is the maintenance guy. I've been checking out your collection and I have to tell you that you seriously lack some aromatic fougeres to have a well-balanced wardrobe. Get back to me if you need some suggestions.

Next ELdO scent: Fat Plumber, "a sensual mix of a personal collection impertinently and hurriedly sprayed while being aware of crossing boundaries and yet succumbing to desire"
Honestly, it would piss me off. PS, why isnt your large collection in a dark cupboard or something? :P
Maybe if one or two were move around... but ALL of them? Seems odd he would sit there and spray/fiddle with every one of them.
I could never handle living in an apartment or something where people would need to come in when I may not be there. That would drive me nuts.

If i were a detective, i would conclude that this was no accident and that he was really interested. First of all theres no need for him to even get near the shelf on the way to the bathroom. Second, if he accidently knocked it and attempted to but everything back, he did a damn good job of putting them back in the correct spot, as everything was in its place, just inches off or turned somewhat, as he he was smelling each one by one and putting them back.
^^^^This was a maintenance man for an apt complex or building. You dont have to pay these guys as they are paid from everyone's rent. Just like the guys who come to clean the pool or mow the grass except this guys has keys to everyone's apartment.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
You ever think that maybe he just knocked one over on accident, then politely tried to place things back in order to comply with your overly-anal nature?
Plumber came to work in your bathroom & then touched all of your bottles? Scrub time.
I'd say he was intrigued, rather than evil.
And it does sound like he made every attempt to put them back in a manner that was respectful of their importance..

|Dmitri Leshchov is the December 2013 Employee of the Month
Dmitri Leshchov is the December 2013 Employee of the Month. Dmitri works in Information Technology as a Client Technologies Specialist and has been with All Children's since 1991. Dmitri was recognized for his Service Excellence by a colleague who wrote:
For two weeks, I was experiencing difficulty viewing documents in the new Document Library. Information Technology was 'VNCing' my PC, checking the memory, clearing cookies, and defragmenting the hard drive (all terms I am not really too convinced I understand). As an RN working in a very fast moving world of computers, it is hard sometimes to just keep up, never mind knowing that cookies have something to do with it all (and they are not even chocolate chip). When my PC continued to refuse to let me view documents in the Document Library, I requested the IT department to have someone come over to my desk so I could show them my concerns. Dmitri came, with a smile on his face and ready to listen.
The dictionary describes a listener as someone who makes an effort to hear something, and pays attention. One who hears and listens attentively, or in an official professional way. Dmitri not only listened, he heard what I was saying and did a quick and efficient differential analysis and my computer was up and running ten minutes later. According to Dmitri, my profile was corrupt (whatever that means). I am now able to review all Document Library forms thanks to Dmitri's quick action, courteous way and terrific listening skills.
Dmitri's Department Director added:
Dmitri does what it takes to help and assist his coworkers with any PC issues. He strives to deliver outstanding Service Excellence to his colleagues and coworkers and is always ready to do what he can to resolve any PC issues in a quick efficient and courteous manner. He is a great asset to the IT team!
Dmitri, congratulations for receiving the All Children's Hospital Employee of the Month honors and thank you so much for being here to help the ACH staff with PC issues, cookies, corrupt profiles, memory, disc defragmentation and all the other idiosyncrasies with the PCs we use to deliver care to the children we are privileged to serve.

Garnet Hill Printed Cotton Rug 93 93
Bright attractive area rug Bought this rug on sale. It is terrific for an inside door mat. Have not washed it yet. Hope it washes well. February 6, 2015
Very cute I bought the citron runner on sale as well as the chevron 2x3. I love the snazzy print, while they are very casual because they are thin and lightweight, I love the cheery prints. I also like the non slip material on the underslide so no pad is needed. January 18, 2015
Brightens room I bought the orange medallion runner and promptly put it in my tiled laundry room (no rug in there before). It's brings a really nice, bright, fresh look to a room I spend a lot of time in and it's made a world of difference on how cold (and comfortable) the floor is this winter. No rug pad is needed - it has a non-slip backing. It's not a plush rug and I'm not sure I've seen anything like it at other stores. I'm really glad I purchased it! Great value. If you're on the fence, and love the pattern or color available I say go for it (before it's gone)! January 15, 2015
Rockin' Rugs!!! I bought several of these for myself and for gifts and WE ALL think they are super! Especially for the price and you do NOT need a pad with them. January 8, 2015
great multi-purpose rug The best thing about this rug is the thin no slip backing that is provided on the back. It saves money not to have to buy an additional no-slip pad, and it doesn't shift out from under the rug. Great sizes for bathrooms, halls, entryways. Bought several for future use! I suggest more neutral colors like grey. I love some of the prints but the colors are sometimes too bold for my taste in my current, calmly-colored home. January 2, 2015
Love the color I purchased this rug for my bathroom to give it some color. It looks great and doesn't slip and slide. Would highly recommend and the price was right. December 1, 2014

Yes, the black and tan coat coloration can happen in the Shiba Inu breed.5/29/2015 9:13:04 AM
You should never rehome your dog unless it is for an extreme emergency reason. This is not one. Depending how many years she spent in the old home and if you moved into a different type of home, such as from an single family home to an apartment -- she is still adjusting. If you are still unpacking, that could be very unsettling for her. If you are in a whole new town, she could be more frightened then actually depressed. Try to keep her new routine the same, give her extra attention and love when you are with her. I would also suggest go exploring with her, take her to new places and feed her yummy treats so she starts to feel comfortable in the new home/area.5/26/2015 1:04:26 PM

Be happy that your dog is not a barker. A lot of Shiba's are! If you are concerned for your dog then I would suggest taking her to the vet. But if your Shiba is just special and you aren't worried about her, then just enjoy your pretty pup.4/6/2015 10:13:11 AM
Our neighbor owns a female Shiba Inu. Pretty dog, but does bark a lot especially when in the back yard at any passing people. 4/11/2015 11:19:15 AM
My Shiba Inu doesn't bark either and I like it that way. She will sometimes if a stranger walks in the house but other than that she is more like a cat. I wouldn't say she has below average intelligence, she is just very aloof and does what she wants. I actually read that Shibas are on the quiet side so when I read this that they are prone to barking I was surprised.5/20/2015 7:01:33 PM

The Shiba Inu is not for the first time dog owner. However, with the right understanding of the breed, getting a puppy from a good breeder and making sure to do LOTS of socialization and training with a professional trainer, you could get a puppy. But yes, the Shiba Inu is known to be more cat-like as it is a willful and independent breed of dog, whom can be stubborn when training and they seem to have a ton of personality packed into such a small dog. I would suggest going to a few dog shows and meeting a couple of Shiba Inu's and their breeders and talk about their dogs. Get some face-time with the breed itself before you make your choice.2/1/2015 11:36:07 AM
I bought my first Shiba this last Sept.... after reading online ALL the tips, warnings and info about how difficult a Shiba can be. I have owned a border collie and a mutt in prior years. I'm a petite woman in my 60s... and honestly.... my Shiba female has been the sweet pup to train. She was crate trained the first day... very easily house broken- not one accident ever! But I'm retired and was able to put her out every 2 hrs. Very clean dogs! Very smart... ad energetic. I never had the indoors overactive energy issues people complain about since I have a large fenced yard and she is able to work off all that puppy energy. I tried a puppy training program when she was about 4 -5 months old... and I think I wasted my money. It stressed her out terribly... and the typical puppy nipping and puppy disobedience all went away on it's own. I'm actually considering getting a 2nd Shiba pup this summer so she has a playmate. Good luck.2/5/2015 11:30:50 AM
The Shiba Inu can get along with cats as long as they are socialized with cats at a young age.1/28/2015 8:08:03 PM
My Shiba female loves my 6 year old cat- both are kept indoors. However, the cat does not like the pup! 2/5/2015 11:31:36 AM
Your Shiba Inu was fully mature physically and mentally between 1 - 1 1/2 year old. So what you are seeing is fat. The Shiba Inu needs at least an hour to an hour and a half of exercise a day and a stable diet. No human food. Shiba's are known for gaining weight easily. A grain-free, high quality food such as Taste of the Wild, Go!, Now, Acana, Orijen or anything of that sort will help your grand-dogger loose weight and keep healthy, lean muscle.11/10/2014 11:48:48 AM
The Shiba Inu is what some trainer's call an 'owners' dog. Which means that the Shiba Inu is known to attach themselves to their owner and not care much for other dogs or people. However, every dog is different and if the Shiba Inu has been socialized properly and raised around other dogs, then the Shiba should be fine. But like every dog, you can not expect your Shiba to like every dog he/she meets. Just like humans, dogs don't always get along with every other dog. Having that in mind, socializing your Shiba Inu and going to training classes will help your Shiba learn to be social and want to seek the attention and play of other canines.8/17/2014 1:03:34 PM
The combination of vinegar and water is fine for removing the scent off of the dog. But shampooing your dog with basic dog shampoo will work just as well. Cleaning the cage with an enzyme cleaner such as Nature's Miracle will keep the dog from thinking her crate is a potty place.5/1/2014 12:31:42 AM
While most Shiba Inus do not shed year-round, they will shed consistently in the spring and fall for a couple of months at a time.3/16/2014 9:47:58 PM
Mine Shiba inu shed a LOT, especially in spring and fall.3/27/2014 7:59:14 PM
Shiba Inus are not a hypoallergenic dog and they do have a lot of fur, so yes. They shed A LOT. If you wait a while between brushings you ought to be able to make a new dog from the fur that you'll be able to brush out. I suggest using a stripper (dog grooming tool) and brush her/him twice a week, making sure not to go over the same area too many times or else you can give her brush burn. 4/8/2014 12:34:52 AM
It depends on the Shiba and how he treats puppies or dogs. You need to do a lot of research on the Shiba before adopting one as they are not a normal dog. Most Shiba are good with kids if they are raised with kids and they treat them with respect.12/29/2013 11:49:49 AM
Shiba's are usually great with kids specially if you get a puppy and raise him with the kids. If your adopting an older shiba like any other dog it depends on how they where raised and any trauma they might have. hope this helps2/5/2014 8:50:36 PM
Our Shiba is good with human children, but terrible with puppies and other small dogs (though he is fine with big dogs).1/8/2015 2:22:58 PM
Well some advice, try only giving the puppy dry puppy food. If the vet does not find anything wrong with the puppy then try changing the food brand. Try royal caine or blue wild. Training is very important because shiba inu's are very smart and get bored if not mentally stimulated. Recall training is very important but a shiba should never be trusted off leash. I cant help you with a trainer because i don't know any in the Atlanta area but start with easy things like sit and come using treats. teach them to respond to their name by using treats. Try recall by doing using a command or using a whistle something loud that is very distinct and use treats make sure you are extremely excited for the puppy to come to you . I hope this helps and good luck.2/6/2014 6:24:56 PM
The hardest thing on an adult dog is changing homes. Sounds like she had a lot of different homes for a while, she was very confused with nothing the same as before. Shiba's hate muzzles and make them aggressive. Try a kennel the next time and where is is out only when you can keep an eye on her.12/29/2013 11:59:00 AM
Shiba's are very smart dogs having said that they require mental exercise as well as physical exercise. Try doing some mental exercise like commands have her sit stand lie down ect. after walking her. They tend to do those things when they get bored so try a chew toy or better yet a raw hide bone that she can chew on. You will have to correct her behavior when you catch her. If she doesn't have a crate you might want to look into this specially during the night or times when you can not supervise her. This should break the cycle and she will get the point that she cant be chewing on things. Hope this helps2/5/2014 9:02:06 PM
yes they are. ^^ Shiba inu are good dogs with people and since your girls are a bit older, a shiba will love them. i have mine around toddlers and they love them. 10/7/2013 5:01:09 PM
Potty training is every time they eat or wake - they need to go outside. Other than that - put your Shiba in a basic puppy obedience class. It will teach you and your shiba how to relate and go through your steps. They are not too expensive and are really worth it. It will make your long lives together so much more rewarding.4/26/2013 5:41:51 PM
Potty training is the most important thing. Shiba's are usually very clean dogs but they do need training. I would start with walking morning then one hr after food or water during the day and finally before bed. This process works well but is very time consuming, during potty training you should do some basic training like sit and stay and come here they are very smart dogs and require mental exercise as well as physical. Hope this helps. 2/5/2014 8:55:36 PM
I think that what most people don't understand about Shiba's is that you have to bond with them for a while before you can even start training. They are incredibly loyal to those they love, and very eager to please, but it make take a bit to bond with them fully and make sure they know you are the alpha dog. 1/31/2015 5:17:34 PM
They are not a rare bred but they are uncommon dogs
You have to be very patient with Shibas as they do not normally listen the first time on command after they start running as they tend to get distracted and keep running.5/23/2015 2:39:12 PM
Shiba's are cute and like attention. They are very independent. If you are committed to this breed, you must commit to being the alpha. They are very smart and learn quickly...all the more reason to be in control. As you have never had a dog before it will be a challenge. I feel they like being the only dog in the house so if you are looking at more than one I would pick another breed. This is our opinion as we rescued one and he is attached to whoever handles him the most. I am sure some issues are from his past but as I study this breed I am convinced the description is valid. The other side is they are lovable but do not seem to like being cuddled....they are independent. If that is what you are looking for you will have a dog who is smart, loyal but needs training and a firm hand. Do not let the dog teach you...let him know immediately who is in charge. Hope this helps and someone else who has owned one from a pup can help you more.2/23/2013 12:21:50 PM
I would take her to the vet and see if she has allergies. My Shiba inu will do this when her allergies are getting bad. She is on medicine for it but I tend to take her off of it during the winter. Unfortunately this winter has been very dry so she is on her meds this winter as well. Her loosing her hair was part of the tip off. If your dog is a female they also will do this if they are experiencing and false pregnancy as mine did. A vet could give you the answers you need.2/11/2015 2:44:46 PM
There is a bit of size variation in the breed. I raise shibas and have a female that is mature at 16 lbs. Most are closer to 20 lbs though. Males tend to be just a bit bigger. Google AKC breeds and it will tell you what the precise size should be. But if you get a good responsible breeder then they should be able to tell you what size the pup will be by a good guess.11/8/2012 10:47:10 AM
Shibas do great in small spaces since they are a medium size and often quite (My Shiba only barks at strangers) If you train your shiba at a young age to befriend the cat they may get along..... Depends on the Shiba's personality. NEVER EVER let your guinea pig be alone with a shiba. Shiba are great jogging partners =D10/14/2012 3:55:42 PM
I have two shiba inus and they love to run or jog. I live in a regular sized house, but they don't seem to care where they are at. Both of mine act like cats a lot and seem to do fine around cats. Be aware that shibas love to run and if they are in a small closed space, make sure you walk it daily or whenever you can. Also depending on the personality, if the shiba sees an open door to outside it may book it out the door and they are fast runners.1/7/2013 12:08:23 PM
Our Shiba is great around other dogs unless attacked. We also have two 3 pound Yorkie Terriers and the female Yorkie has attempted to be the Alpha dog without any luck! Our Shiba will endure the yorkies barking and nipping for a bit then throws her over and goes for the neck!!! Tillie has never hurt another animal or person but definately gets her point accross when she's had enough of the yorkies annoying behaviour. Good luck, Shiba lover11/11/2012 10:28:54 AM
We have a shiba and a yorkie that we purchased together. They grew up together and they do everything together. They split the role as "Alpha" some things the yorkie puts her foot down and some things the shiba puts her foot down. If our yorkie takes something from Sophie while she is chewing on it Sophie lets her, she doesn't bark, she doesn't bite. She gets along very well with other dogs and cats. The only time I have seen Sophie get aggressive in any way is if another dog is being rough with Molli (our yorkie) Sophie will step in and play Momma bear! 4/21/2015 6:57:58 PM

Shibas are NOT of leash dogs. If they get loose, they can run for days without reatunring to where they got loose.9/23/2012 11:30:16 PM
Shibas are great, but CANNOT be trusted off leash! The minute ours gets loose, he's gone. We've been lucky in that he tends to just run around our neighborhood until he deigns to let one of us catch him. But, another shiba in our town got loose and was found miles away!
I have 2 shibas my self and they do need a lot of training, but once they get it they've got it for life.Some learn faster then others though. About the cat, I don't have a cat so I can't say what will happen.Some shibas are fine with cats
other s think "chewtoy!"9/23/2012 11:28:05 PM
Should range from 12 to15 years. I would definitely have the condition of his tail checked by a veterinarian. You didn't say how old he was, neutered, or any recent unususual changes in his habits.12/11/2012 8:29:31 PM
If you get the shiba at a young age and introduce to your lifestyle it will adapt. I have had my shiba for over 4 years now, I work a 40 hour work week and have had no problems with my dog staying at home alone. We did end up adopting a kitten which he raised and they have been great together. In the evening and on weekends we take long walks together, which he just loves and looks forward to. I just say walk and gets all excited. But you will need to socialize the puppy that will make a great difference on how the shiba handles life. I hope this helps8/15/2012 12:58:30 PM
socialization is very key so be sure to introduce your shiba to others Very early and consistantly. Mine loved to "bolt" the minute the door was open. she didn't go far but she LOVED the game of hide-n-seek. she could do it for hours. I rescued her and she was so protective that she would not let ANY ONE near me. Good luck finding the puppy that matches your family and lifestyle.9/24/2012 4:05:00 PM
I would say no. We adopted a shiba from a different owner and they said they had a pool in the back that she would swim in. When we brought her home, her outer coat was damage and she was extremely soft. By her swimming, she lost her protection of the outer coat. Really, in general they shouldn't get soaked, but occasional wet weather is alright. 1/7/2013 12:00:12 PM
We picked a Shiba for a new puppy when our Min Pin passed away because we like an independent, smart and willful dog. If you are ready to put the time in with a puppy / dog the Shiba is a great choice. If you want an easier breed this would not be your choice. IMHO I have spent a great deal of time socializing him and training him so he is developing into a wonderful dog, but again it is a lot of work and you must start the training immediately. 8/2/2012 11:23:27 AM
YES! Try to get a puppy, and take "Puppy Obedience Class" verh early. We got our wonderful Shiba at 8 weeks, and started group puppy training at 10 weeks. These dogs are very, very smart, athletic, and fearless. Although they are strongly attached to their owners, they are not lap dogs. They want to take walks, play, ride along. They are very independent, which is good if you're working, but you need to assert yourself early. They potty train easily, learn commands quickly, and develop a huge vocabulary if you spend time with them. If you want a fluffy, cuddly, not too bright dog, don't get a Shiba. If you want a smart, sweet, strong, loyal, unique looking dog who gets attention wherever you go, who wants to be part of the family but sometimes needs space, get a Shiba! We LOVE our Shiba girl.8/26/2012 12:09:51 AM
I have 2 little girls and added a male shiba inu puppy to the mix! I was told by a breeder that males are more tolerable with young children. I have to say he is pretty amazing with my children and its great to watch them all play. However my kids do respect him and treat him fairly and not like a toy! He does not like to be mistreated in any way and will groul or yelp if he feels treatend! He has great tolerance with them, and has never hurt my girls. Our shiba inu has become a member of our family and loves everyones attention. Its all about trust, patience, and respect. These dogs are super intelligent, they will take their time feeling people out before they trust you! Once you earn their love the bond that he forms with your family is unbreakable. Our shiba is always at our kids every step and is a great little watchdog, play partner, and campanion to our children. I would not trade him for anything. 7/14/2012 10:29:22 PM
My daughter has a 6 month old son that often find with his fingers in her shiba's mouth. She is so tolerant with him pulling on her coat and chewing on her tail. I would trust her shiba with my grandson any day. And he seems to really enjoy her.11/9/2012 8:06:22 PM
Get a shiba puppy, put in obedience class very early (10 wks.), spend a lot of time giving positive feedback, and you will have the most wonderful dog. They are SUPER smart, potty train fast, can amuse themselves, but want attention from their owners, love walks, love people but not necessarily other dogs. They adore being part of the family, but sometimes need independence. Super loyal, fearless, athletic, sweet, not picky eater. We LOVE our shiba. Just invest in training class and give lots of attention early. So worth it!8/26/2012 1:00:16 AM
Note: We provide the only safe marketplace for Shiba Inu breeders to list puppies for sale to rehome their purebred dogs. Breeders listing puppies for sale on Next Day Pets are required to verify their identity for your protection.

Quick Release Buckles under straps
Not water proof but water resistant.
No need for any mounting hardware or support brackets. Just put under passenger seat over the rear fender and tie-down to the motorcycle frame using the attached tie-downs on each bag. You can easily choose how high or low you want to hang the bags by adjusting the center strap. These are designed not to flop around in the wind or get into the rear wheel and also to give adequate leg space for the passenger.

Comment: I purchased these bags about a month before christmas and finally got around to getting them on my 02 Shadow Spirit 750. After some very minor customizations to keep the bottom of the right bag from getting burned by the pipe & to help them fit close they are on . They look and work great. I'm very pleased and will be shopping at Jafrum again for sure.

New york
Comment: Excellent value for money
Comment: I looked for weeks, bought one set of bags 150.00 genuin ----- leather . The small print read genuin synthetic leather. Due to exhaust anything but leather would melt. So back to looking for hours. Then I found these bags real leather at a third the cost. They look good, fit my Dyna low rider very nice as far as size and shape. I've put 200 miles on them with no signs of any problems with the location of the exhaust pipe 2 inches under the center of the bag. And you cant touch any real leather bags for under 275.00 if made specifically for a Harley at least 350.00 they are a SOAR ---- DEAL IT CANT BE BEAT.
Comment: I bought a set of these bags for my 800 Vulcan ((((my baby)))) was the finishing touch !!!!! ....I liked them so well bought the exact same set for my sisters 750 shadow spirit.
Ga best riding spot in the usa !!!
Comment: These bags are great except that I did need to relocate the turn signals which if I new that I would have bought the relocation bracket sooner but other than that I love the bags they are bigger than they look in the picture. They only have holes for one setting so I had to punch more in so I could adjust the bags to the right placement.

Wichita, KS
Comment: Love the bags nce thick leather wish they did unzip however they still are awesome.
Comment: Great bags for the price SD4045, leather quality very good do use the leather cream.
Comment: These Saddlebags really gave my bike that eye catching appeal, even for a 1987, non Harley ride. I used a standard Saddlebag bracket to keep the bags off the back tire. The bags are on the expensive side, but I sure I'll recoup the cost if I ever sell this bike.

Comment: Great looking bags!! Fits perfectly on my low rider. Good quality leather. And the price is right !!
Comment: Ordered and arrived in three days. 20 minutes to install on my 2011 883 Sportster superlow. Didn't want to bother with relocating turn signals or using a bracket. Minor adjustment, fit great, looks great....can't say enough. For the price, ease of ordering, delivery and install....couldn't ask for more.
Bobbie Borucki
Central Bridge, NY
Comment: They look really great on my 1200xl sporty - The quality is good, as with everything I buy from you guys. I did have to alter them slightly to get the right fit, but they look great and worth the little tweak... Thanks!
Comment: They are what they say they are. decent for the price, a bit flimsy how they are held in the center with nothing more than a rawhide shoelace(what is referred to as a center strap in the description). but for the price, not bad
Comment: Price can't be beat for the quality. These bags must be "greased" if you want them to last. Leather is thick but brittle. Saddle cream or dubbin is a must.
-On a blacked out HD 48. Looks great.
Ottawa Ontario
Comment: Nice looking, well sized bags for my Yamaha 1100 Classic. Look like more expensive bags. I took the precaution of water-proofing them before mounting to insure they stay nice if they get wet. Delivery was very quick as well.
Jacksonville, FL.
Comment: I purchased these bags for my Sportster mainly because of price and the size was right. I have had them on for 3 weeks and the corners of the flaps are turning upward. They do not stay aligned to where water doesnt get in. For the price they are ok. Good looking bags though
Harly Mama X2
Comment: These bags are a great type of leather and fit very nicely without the brackets. They are installed on a 2011 Suzuki Boulevard S40. Highly recommend these saddlebags.
Comment: Very Nice, Great Deal for the price, We'll see how they hold up.
Springfield, Oregon
Comment: I have these for my Honda Rebel. I wanted throw over bags I could pack up and easily toss over the pillion seat, fasten down and be off. I did rub them down with mink oil as soon as they came and did some tweaking with the center lacing so it suited me better. I can pack all I need for personal clothes/gear for a week away from home easily. They fit without me moving or changing my rear turn signals, and I can easily pack them in and out, will last me for years.
Maggie Gean
Central Illinois, USA
Comment: Put on a royal enfield, fit well. Ties are cheep leather, but other then that nice. Look good, keep water out good. Would recommend if asked.

Comment: I installed these saddle bags yesterday on my Honda Rebel 250. I mounted them under the seat. They look great, ride great, and a great value!
Easton, Maryland
Comment: great bags for the $. look good on my shovelhead.
Comment: put on my rebel with a little work. required drilling 4 new holes to tighen up the bags. they look very nice and should do the job. Probaly should have installed bag guides to stiffen up and keep bags from moving so much while driving.

Comment: They are close to perfect. Easy installation, ample room, good quality. I'm very satisfied.
Frank Anderson
Palm Bay, Florida
Comment: Good set of Saddlebags for a great price. I needed a durable set of saddlebags for my sportster, but did not want to pay HD store prices. Needed some carry space for my sportster and this set is big enough to put a couple of bags from grocery store in. I have been very happy with the usability. The price for actual leather seems very hard to beat.
Comment: These bags are ok, great for the money. The buckles are crap and sharp I cut myself trying to close them right after installed them on my harley. other than that they are great. for what I paid for them I wasn't expecting much and I was pleasantly surprised.
Buzz Coy
Comment: they were good but after removing seat they wouldn't fit as I have a electronic box under seat
Comment: These bags are nice looking for the price. They definitely appear much more expensive than you pay.
Andrey V
Harrisburg, PA
Comment: The bags are really Great looking, look nice for my 883 Low, not too big/too small, easy to mount, No turn signals relocation required, provide enough spaces for groceries, and built from high quality of Leather.
negative: not water proof & need to adjust more to the left avoiding the right side touching the exhaust, photos in youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMf24-mnOWc .I would recommend 883L owners to buy this bags
Comment: These saddlebags fit great on my 750 Honda Shadow and look nice. The quick connects are a little hard to get connected, but seem to hold securely when done.
Comment: These are great bags for the price. I bought these and a different style (i have more than one bike). These have alot more room. Next time I need some I'll buy these again.
Bullhead City, Arizona
Comment: Great price wanted them for everyday use. Wish they had zipper detachment. They faired fairly well in a bad rain storm I was caught in. They aren't weatherproof but I would call it semi water proof. Happy with the purchase.
Mark Sineni
Comment: These bags are great,,not cheap thin leather but heavy duty ,very well made,best bang for the buck,,can't wait to get them on my bike,,
Steve Lanham
Comment: A good product for the buck. It was very easy to install on my 2003 HD Fatboy.

Gary Kerr
Fayetteville, TN
Comment: Just received these saddlebags for my new triumph speedmaster on order, but trying on my 2013 Vstar Custom. Just tweaked them a little to fit the Yamaha. They look nice and with some leather conditioner, they will be A-ok. Can't beat them for under a buck.
T om Copeland
Saugus Mass
Comment: I purchased these saddle bags because I like the look. The price was really affordable. I love that they are leather. I love the quick release and how easy it is to take them off the bike when I have to spend a night in a hotel. They are a tiny bit bigger than I imagined but I knew the size from the description.I love that I can fit everything I want in them like chaps, raingear, shoes and change of clothes . I think this is a really awesome deal! Love it! :)

Officials with Carolina Bible Camp in Mocksville announced their upcoming Bluegrass Festival to be held on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 10:45 a.m. until 5 p.m.
The camp, located at 1988 Jericho Church Road, will be the site of the outdoor festival featuring the 2012 IBMA Vocal Group of the Year, Blue Highway. Also appearing are the Snyder Family Band, The Idle Time Band, and Wilkes Seniors on Stage.
Tickets are only $15 per person and may be purchased in advance online by following the link at www.carolinabiblecamp.org. Tickets may be purchased at the gate for $20 per person. Children under 12 are admitted free.
Organizers advise the festival will be held rain or shine, and concert-goers should bring folding chairs and blankets for seating. Outside food, coolers, picnic baskets, pets, alcohol and tobacco will not be permitted. A $12 plate including pulled pork barbequed ribs, vegetables and homemade blackberry cobbler will be available in the air-conditioned camp cafeteria. Hotdogs and other refreshments may also be purchased. All proceeds will benefit the capital development and scholarship funds of Carolina Bible Camp.
At the 17-year mark, Blue Highway is indisputably one of the most esteemed and influential groups in contemporary bluegrass. The band's nine exceptional albums and compelling live performances give proof to the stellar reviews, Grammy nominations, and numerous awards earned by the band since it first took the stage on December 31, 1994, with the same musicians that comprise Blue Highway today.
With a deep bench of virtuosic songwriters, vocalists and instrumentalists, Blue Highway's hallmark is an unwavering commitment to the ensemble, the "democracy of the band" that makes Blue Highway a powerhouse.
Individually, Jason Burleson (banjo, guitar, mandolin), Rob Ickes (Dobro), Shawn Lane (mandolin, fiddle, vocals), Tim Stafford (guitar, vocals), and Wayne Taylor (bass, vocals) are masters of their respective roles. Together, in Stafford's words, they are "a democracy in the best sense of the word" — five gifted artists selflessly merging their talents into a seamlessly brilliant group sound. As a result, the band moves from strength to strength, more mature and impressive with each new album.
Blue Highway has five gifted writers in its ranks. Rob and Jason turn out the heart-pounding instrumentals, while Shawn, Tim and Wayne give Blue Highway a depth of songwriting talent unprecedented in sixty years of bluegrass bands.
With ten highly-acclaimed albums to its credit, Blue Highway has garnered two Grammy nominations, a Dove Award, topped the Bluegrass Unlimited radio charts, and won numerous International Bluegrass Music Association awards. Refusing to coast on past glories, Blue Highway continues to push its music to new levels of accomplishment. Artfully balanced between tradition and innovation, it remains in the forefront of contemporary bluegrass music.
The Snyder Family Band of Lexington, N.C. has appeared on many important bluegrass stages including MerleFest, Music City Roots, Bristol Rhythm and Roots, and the Red, White, and Bluegrass Festival. Television viewers have had two opportunities so far to catch them on the PBS program, "Song of the Mountains."
Siblings Samantha and Zeb Snyder have won many prestigious competitions on the fiddle and guitar, respectively, and already have individual songwriting credits to their names. Currently, they are also in the running for several International Bluegrass Music Association awards.
The Idle Time Band of Taylorsville is enjoying a growing reputation in bluegrass circles. They have opened for such groups as Rhonda Vincent and The Rage, Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver and IIIrd Tyme Out. Mandolin player Russell Loudermelk is the author of "Baby, Come Home," recorded by The Lonesome River Band. Idle Time members include Bobby Hefner on guitar, Eric Childers on dobro, John Treadway on banjo and Jimmy Trivette on the upright bass.
Wilkes Seniors on Stage was formed in 1995 as a part of Wilkes Playmakers to encourage senior citizens to sing for other senior citizens. The nonprofit group travels around Wilkes County, North Carolina and elsewhere, singing at retirement communities, senior centers, and nursing homes. The Seniors on Stage perform two public performances, one in the spring and one at Christmas. The membership is open to anyone who enjoys music and would like to share in music making.
The Carolina Bible Camp Bluegrass Festival is sponsored in part by Carolina Hearing Doctors and The Eye Care Center.

I would say, the only issue for me is the length... it feels a bit long for me (and I have longer legs) but its nothing that'll bother me or should anyone else. It feels great and is doesn't have that "its going to rip" feeling when its stress/pulled.

Comments about NIKE Men's Pro Combat Hypercool 2.0 6-inch Compression Shorts:
I bought these for my grandson who plays football. I found them to be okay but was told they run small and don't wash well. After one washing, the outside of the double stitching came loose on more than one pair.
My recommendation would be to get the next size up if you don't want them extra tight and hand wash and line dry.
