How can something that was first worn fifty years ago be new? The secret is in the styling. Goodwill stores in Arkansas always have a mix of old and new clothes, so the trick is to find a way to make vintage pieces flow seamlessly into a contemporary wardrobe.
START WITH JACKETS. If you're just getting used to buying vintage clothes, I really recommend dipping your toes in the water with some jackets. Coats, blazers, and denim jackets all can be found at Goodwill for under $10. Check the tags (and the shoulder pads) on some of the jackets to determine which are truly vintage. You'll be surprised at how much these items will become staples in your wardrobe to throw over any outfit.
FOCUS ON THE CLASSICS. Some of the best vintage styles to look for are some classic-looking pieces. Keep your eyes peeled for classic silhouettes and lace. Vintage versions of these styles will be high-quality, look-lasting, and well-fitting. We all know A-line skirts flatter everybody because decades and decades of women have looked like a perfect hourglass in these waist-hugging bottoms.
UPCYCLE VINTAGE FINDS. For the vintage finds that just look a little too outdated, set aside some time in your weekend for some upcycling. Take a vintage dress and a sewing machine, and feel free to get as creative as you please. Replace some buttons, add a belt, and you've got a whole new look that is one of a kind. And you hardly spent any money for your unique piece.
TRENDY ACCESSORIES. Your accessories can completely reinvent an outfit, so try pairing your vintage pieces with some more modern jewelry or other accessories. Alternatively, some trends such as 90's choker necklaces come back into style again and can add another vintage-y detail to an outfit.
CALL YOUR TAILOR. Don't be afraid to call your tailor up after a day of Goodwill shopping. Sizes, styles, shape differ over time, and you might end up with some pieces you love but that just don't fit perfectly. And because you got such a great deal at Goodwill, you can afford to take a waistline in or hem a pant leg.
MODERN HAIR & MAKEUP. When you're wearing a statement vintage piece, try juxtaposing your outfit with some modern hair and makeup. You'd be surprised how well a smokey eye and beachy waves pairs with a 50's-style round skirt.
MIX TIME PERIODS. Two vintage pieces can actually look modern together when they each come from a different time period. A 90's crop top pairs well with a 70's flare pant. Similarly, and 80's sweater can look chic tucked into a 60's skirt. You just have to stay conscious of fabric and style so your outfit doesn't look like two Halloween costumes forced together.
STYLE WITH NEWER PIECES. My absolute favorite way to wear my vintage Goodwill pieces is actually alongside my modern clothing. A great way to slowly incorporate vintage finds into a modern wardrobe is to only throw in a few items here and there.
Have fun vintage-shopping and styling, and don't be afraid to try a new decade. Before you know it, your closet will be a perfect meshing of old and new.

Negotiations between David Haye and the Klitschko camp over a possible mega-fight this summer have hit a frustrating impasse, according to the manager of Britain's former WBA heavyweight champion.
Haye announced his retirement in October following his points defeat to Wladimir Klitschko in Hamburg last summer, but revealed earlier this month that he is actively seeking a return to the ring. The Londoner, 31, said he would only come out of retirement to face Wladimir, the WBA, IBF and WBO champion, or his 40-year-old brother Vitali, who holds the WBC title.
Talks between the two camps - who have never hidden their dislike of each other - began at the end of last year, but appear to have stalled, according to Haye's trainer and manager Adam Booth.
Booth, who has looked after Haye's affairs throughout his career, thought the two parties had been making good progress on negotiations to set up a summer fight with Vitali, but he now admits talks are far from completion and has suggested that the Ukrainian brothers are merely using Haye's name to gain publicity.
"Vitali piped up saying he wants to fight and since then I have had communication with them, but the contract from them has been much less forthcoming than the propaganda Vitali has been spouting," said Booth.
"It's in their hands. As far as I am concerned all the points have been agreed verbally, but subsequently Vitali came out and said the fight was 'miles away' from being made. I don't understand why he would say that. Maybe they are just using David's name just to get some publicity."
Booth and Haye have enjoyed a colourful relationship with the Klitschkos and their management since the Briton moved up to the heavyweight division in 2008.
"Until they send the contract and until it is signed, I will try not to waste too much time on it because you have to remember, I have negotiated with them four times now and there has only been one fight," Booth added.
"They probably say the same about us, but they are the hardest people I have ever dealt with."

According to Idaho Power, roughly 988 customers are affected by the outage, which spans Warm Springs to the Boise river and the Old Idaho Pen to Capitol Boulevard. At this point, they have no idea when they might get things back up and running.
Thanks to a well-timed phone call to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, it looks like the culprit was a goose which flew into the power lines around 4 p.m. We're pretty sure the goose in question paid the ultimate price for its indiscretion.
Of course, if you're one of those affected, you're probably not reading this ...

CHICAGO (AP) Prozac is one of the antidepressants often used to treat anorexia, but researchers found it didn't stop young women from resuming their self-starving ways.
In a small study, more than half of the women who got Prozac or dummy pills dropped out of the experiment, and few who remained in it kept their weight from dropping into the danger zone. The results underscore the difficulty in curing the troubling eating disorder.
Taken with previous findings, the results indicate the common practice of prescribing antidepressants "is unlikely to provide substantial benefit for most patients with anorexia," the researchers wrote. Their report was in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association.
The study follows a research review in April from the government's Agency for health care Research and Quality, which found that no drug effectively treats anorexia. That report said a few behavior treatments can help, including psychotherapy that encourages patients to develop thinking patterns to counteract their unhealthy eating behavior.
The Prozac results aren't surprising because anorexia "is considered one of the most treatment-resistant mental illnesses," said Ellen Astrachan-Fletcher, a therapist and director of the Eating Disorders Clinic at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
In the new study, which lasted a year, the women first had psychiatric treatment and had put on enough weight to be in the normal range before being given Prozac or placebos. About 27% of the 49 participants randomly assigned Prozac maintained a normal weight and finished the study vs. 32% of 44 women on dummy pills; the differences were not statistically significant. Also, 25 Prozac users and 28 placebo patients dropped out because of weight loss or dissatisfaction with treatment.
One patient, a 17-year-old on Prozac, attempted suicide. While antidepressants have been linked with suicidal behavior in children, the researchers noted that depression often accompanies anorexia, and that anorexia has one of the highest suicide rates of any psychiatric illness.
Several of the researchers, including lead author Dr. Timothy Walsh of New York State Psychiatric Institute, have received funding from Prozac maker Eli Lilly and Co., which provided the study pills. Funding for the research came from the National Institutes of Health.
Anorexia affects close to 1% of U.S. females and less than 1% of males. The National Eating Disorders Association estimates that about 10 million girls and women and about 1 million boys and men have anorexia or bulimia, a related eating disorder involving food bingeing and vomiting for which Prozac has shown some success.

ARLINGTON, Texas – A crush of media surrounded Carl Crawford(notes) at his locker before he even had a chance to dress to for his first game with the Boston Red Sox, a showcase matchup against the defending American League champion Texas Rangers on what could be termed opening day 2.0.
Part of the allure of Crawford, a fleet outfielder with a potent bat, is the staggering seven-year, $142 million contract he signed in December to join the Red Sox as a free agent. But as numbers made available Friday illustrate, Crawford's paycheck isn't even among the top 20 among major league players for 2011.
Alex Rodriguez(notes) of the New York Yankees is the highest paid player for the 11th year on a row at $32 million, a salary that dwarfs Crawford's $14.9 million and is only $4 million shy of matching the entire payroll of baseball's stingiest team, the Kansas City Royals.
And for all the money the Red Sox spent on Crawford and others this offseason, their $161.8 million payroll ranks a distant third behind the Yankees' $202.7 million and the Philadelphia Phillies' $173 million. The defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants have a payroll of $118.2 million, one of 12 teams that cracked the $100 million mark.
The Yankees have three of the four highest-paid players. Pitcher CC Sabathia(notes) is third at $24.3 million and first baseman Mark Teixeira(notes) is fourth at $23.1 million. Los Angeles Angels outfielder Vernon Wells(notes) is No. 2 on the list at $26.2 million.
Overall, salaries are about what they were a year ago, increasing only 0.2 percent. The average salary for the 844 players on opening day rosters and the disabled list was $3.3 million. Salaries have increased fairly steadily since 2004, the last time they dropped.
A flood of numbers accompanies opening day, when the 25-man roster of each team is solidified. In addition to the payroll calculations compiled by the Associated Press, Major League Baseball released data revealing that 27.2 percent of MLB players (234 of 846) were born outside the U.S. and that they come from 14 different countries and U.S. territories.
The percentage of foreign-born players has held fairly steady, down slightly from 2007 and 2005, when a record 29 percent of players came from outside the U.S. The Dominican Republic is the foreign country with the most MLB players, with 86. Venezuela is next with 62, the country's highest total ever. Most of the foreign-born players are from Latin America, although Canada produced 16 players. Ten are from Japan, three are from Taiwan and one (outfielder Shin-Soo Choo(notes)) is from South Korea.
The Yankees have the most foreign players with 16, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are the most diverse team, with players from Canada, Curaçao, the Dominican Republic, Japan, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Taiwan and Venezuela in addition to the U.S.
Among the top 10 highest paid players for 2011, only two are foreign-born – New York Mets pitcher Johan Santana(notes) ($21.7 million) and Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera(notes) ($20 million), both of whom are from Venezuela.
Crawford signed the most lucrative deal last offseason, but his biggest salaries don't kick in until next year: He will be paid from $19.5 million to $21 million every year from 2012 through 2017. He also was paid a $6 million signing bonus, which wasn't calculated in his 2011 salary.
The lowest paid players are the 55 first-year players, each of whom makes the same amount: $414,000.

Time: 12 noon, High Point Solutions Stadium, Piscataway, N.J.
TV/Radio: ESPNU, 710-WOR, 1450-AM, 610-WIP, 88.7 WRSU
Series: Rutgers leads 20-18
Last meeting: Nov. 12, 2011, Rutgers won 27-12
Coaches: Rutgers – Kyle Flood (1st Season, 7-1); Army – Rich Ellerson (13th season, 77-70, 4th at Army, 17-29)
- Rebound -- Rutgers needs a rebound victory in the worst way following the egg laid against Kent State on homecoming. The loss, in the scope of the BCS, was meaningless, but momentum going into the remaining trio of conference games is crucial.
- Hurricane Sandy Aid -- There is a lot more to Saturday's game than what goes on in the gridiron. It is an opportunity for everyone in attendance to help those still in need after Hurricane Sandy. Fans have the opportunity to buy specially designed "JeRsey StRong" t-shirts for $15, where the proceeds go to charity. Fans are also encouraged to donate new or lightly-used coats to those in need or donate money by texting "REDCROSS" to 90999.
- All Eyes on Nova -- Some earned and some unfairly placed, quarterback Gary Nova ate the brunt of the criticism after the Kent State loss and that is how he wants it. Nova declared during the bye week, "this is my team" and as the starting quarterback, he understands the responsibilities. How will Nova respond from a perplexing six-interception game?
Wearing No. 52, Greene was all over the field in last year's victory and his 13 tackles were huge in holding Army to 12 points. Facing a healthy Steelman instead of backup Angel Santiago like last season, Greene leads an experienced front seven in stopping the triple option.

Burying The Lancet Report
By Nicolas J. S. Davies
Z Magazine
Over a year ago an international team of epidemiologists, headed by Les Roberts of Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, completed a "cluster sample survey" of civilian casualties in Iraq. Its findings contradicted central elements of what politicians and journalists had presented to the US public and the world. After excluding any possible statistical anomalies, they estimated that at least 98,000 Iraqi civilians had died in the previous 18 months as a direct result of the invasion and occupation of their country. They also found that violence had become the leading cause of death in Iraq during that period. Their most significant finding was that the vast majority (79 percent) of violent deaths were caused by "coalition" forces using "helicopter gunships, rockets or other forms of aerial weaponry," and that almost half (48 percent) of these were children, with a median age of 8.
When the team's findings were published in the Lancet, the official journal of the British Medical Association, they caused quite a stir and it seemed that the first step had been taken toward a realistic accounting of the human cost of the war. The authors made it clear that their results were approximate. They discussed the limitations of their methodology at length and emphasized that further research would be invaluable in giving a more precise picture.
A year later, we do not have a more precise picture. Soon after the study was published, US and British officials launched a concerted campaign to discredit its authors and marginalize their findings without seriously addressing the validity of their methods or presenting any evidence to challenge their conclusions. Today the continuing aerial bombardment of Iraq is still a dark secret to most Americans and the media present the same general picture of the war, focusing on secondary sources of violence.
Roberts has been puzzled and disturbed by this response to his work, which stands in sharp contrast to the way the same governments responded to a similar study he led in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2000. In that case, he reported that about 1.7 million people had died during 22 months of war and, as he says, "Tony Blair and Colin Powell quoted those results time and time again without any question as to the precision or validity." In fact the UN Security Council promptly called for the withdrawal of foreign armies from the Congo and the US State Department cited his study in announcing a grant of $10 million for humanitarian aid.
Roberts conducted a follow-up study in the Congo that raised the fatality estimate to three million and Tony Blair cited that figure in his address to the 2001 Labor Party conference. In December 2004 Blair dismissed the epidemiological team's work in Iraq, claiming, "Figures from the Iraqi Ministry of Health, which are a survey from the hospitals there, are in our view the most accurate survey there is."
This statement by Blair is particularly interesting because the Iraqi Health Ministry reports, whose accuracy he praised, have confirmed the Johns Hopkins team's conclusion that aerial attacks by "coalition" forces are the leading cause of civilian deaths. One such report was cited by Nancy Youssef in the Miami Herald of September 25, 2004 under the headline "US Attacks, Not Insurgents, Blamed for Most Iraqi Deaths." The Health Ministry had been reporting civilian casualty figures based on reports from hospitals, as Blair said, but it was not until June 2004 that it began to differentiate between casualties inflicted by "coalition" forces and those from other causes. From June 10 to September 10 it counted 1,295 civilians killed by US forces and their allies and 516 killed in "terrorist" operations. Health Ministry officials told Youssef that the "statistics captured only part of the death toll," and emphasized that aerial bombardment was largely responsible for the higher numbers of deaths caused by the "coalition." The breakdown (72 percent US) is remarkably close to that attributed to aerial bombardment in the Lancet survey (79 percent).
BBC World Affairs editor John Simpson, in another Health Ministry report covering July 1, 2004 to January 1, 2005, cited 2,041 civilians killed by US and allied forces versus 1,233 by "insurgents" (only 62 percent US). Then something strange happened. The Iraqi Health Minister's office contacted the BBC and claimed, in a convoluted and confusing statement, that their figures had somehow been misrepresented. The BBC issued a retraction and details of deaths caused by "coalition" forces have been notably absent from subsequent Health Ministry reports.
Official and media criticism of Roberts's work has focused on the size of his sample, 988 homes in 33 clusters distributed throughout the country, but other epidemiologists reject the notion that this is controversial.
Michael O'Toole, the director of the Center for International Health in Australia, says: "That's a classical sample size. I just don't see any evidence of significant exaggeration.... If anything, the deaths may have been higher because what they are unable to do is survey families where everyone has died."
David Meddings, a medical officer with the Department of Injuries and Violence Prevention at the World Health Organization, said that surveys of this kind always have uncertainty, but "I don't think the authors ignored that or understated. Those cautions I don't believe should be applied any more or less stringently to a study that looks at a politically sensitive conflict than to a study that looks at a pill for heart disease."
Roberts has also compared his work in Iraq to other epidemiological studies: "In 1993, when the US Centers for Disease Control randomly called 613 households in Milwaukee and concluded that 403,000 people had developed Cryptosporidium in the largest outbreak ever recorded in the developed world, no one said that 613 households was not a big enough sample. It is odd that the logic of epidemiology embraced by the press every day regarding new drugs or health risks somehow changes when the mechanism of death is their armed forces."
The campaign to discredit Roberts, the Johns Hopkins team, and the Lancet used the same methods that the US and British governments have employed consistently to protect their monopoly on "responsible" storytelling about the war. By dismissing the study's findings out of hand, US and British officials created the illusion that the authors were suspect or politically motivated and discouraged the media from taking them seriously. This worked disturbingly well. Even opponents of the war continue to cite much lower figures for civilian casualties and innocently attribute the bulk of them to Iraqi resistance forces or "terrorists."
The figures most often cited for civilian casualties in Iraq are those collected by Iraqbodycount, but its figures are not intended as an estimate of total casualties. Its methodology is to count only those deaths that are reported by at least two "reputable" international media outlets in order to generate a minimum number that is more or less indisputable. Its authors know that thousands of deaths go unreported in their count and say they cannot prevent the media misrepresenting their figures as an actual estimate of deaths.
Beyond the phony controversy regarding the methodology of the Lancet report, there is one issue that does cast doubt on its findings. This is the decision to exclude the cluster in Fallujah from its computations due to the much higher number of deaths that were reported there (even though the survey was completed before the widely reported assault on the city in November 2004). Roberts wrote, in a letter to the Independent, "Please understand how extremely conservative we were: we did a survey estimating that 285,000 people have died due to the first 18 months of invasion and occupation and we reported it as at least 100,000."
The dilemma he faced was this: in the 33 clusters surveyed, 18 reported no violent deaths (including one in Sadr City), 14 other clusters reported a total of 21 violent deaths and the Fallujah cluster reported 52 violent deaths. This last number is conservative because, as the report stated, "23 households of 52 visited were either temporarily or permanently abandoned. Neighbors interviewed described widespread death in most of the abandoned homes but could not give adequate details for inclusion in the survey."
Leaving aside this last factor, there were three possible interpretations of the results from Fallujah. The first, and indeed the one Roberts adopted, was that the team had randomly stumbled on a cluster of homes where the death toll was so high as to be totally unrepresentative and therefore not relevant to the survey. The second possibility was that this pattern among the 33 clusters, with most of the casualties falling in one cluster and many clusters reporting zero deaths, was an accurate representation of the distribution of civilian casualties in Iraq under "precision" aerial bombardment. The third possibility was that the Fallujah cluster was atypical, but not sufficiently abnormal to warrant total exclusion from the study, so that the number of excess deaths was somewhere between 100,000 and 285,000. Without further research, there is no way to determine which of these three possibilities is correct.
No new survey of civilians killed by "coalition" forces has been produced since the Health Ministry report last January, but there is strong evidence that the air war has intensified during this period. Independent journalists have described the continuing US assault on Ramadi as "Fallujah in slow motion." Smaller towns in Anbar province have been targets of air raids for the past several months, and towns in Diyala and Baghdad provinces have also been bombed. Seymour Hersh has covered the "under-reported" air war in the New Yorker and writes that the current US strategy is to embed US Special Forces with Iraqi forces to call in air strikes as US ground forces withdraw, opening the way for heavier bombing with even less media scrutiny (if that is possible).
One ignored feature of the survey's results is the high number of civilian casualties reported in Fallujah in August 2004. It appears that US forces took advantage of the media focus on Najaf at that time to conduct very heavy attacks against Fallujah. This is perhaps a clue to the strategy by which they have conducted much of the air war. The heaviest bombing and aerial assault at any given time is likely to be somewhere well over the horizon from any well-publicized US military operation, possibly involving only small teams of Special Forces on the ground. But cynical military strategy does not let the media off the hook for their failure to find out what is really going on and tell the outside world about it. Iraqi and other Arab journalists can still travel through most of the country and news editors should pay close attention to their reports from areas that are too dangerous for Western reporters.
A second feature of the epidemiologists' findings that has not been sufficiently explored is the one suggested above by Michael O'Toole. Since their report establishes that aerial assault and bombardment is the leading cause of violent death in Iraq and, since a direct hit by a 500 pound Mark 82 bomb will render most houses uninhabitable, any survey that disregards damaged, uninhabited houses is sure to underreport deaths. This should be taken into account by any follow-up studies.
Thanks to Roberts, his international team, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, and the editorial board of the Lancet, we have a clearer picture of the violence taking place in Iraq than that presented by "mainstream" media. Allowing for 16 months of the air war and other deaths since the completion of the survey, we have to estimate that somewhere between 185,000 and 700,000 people have died as a direct result of the war. Coalition forces have killed anywhere from 70,000 to 500,000 of them, including 30,000 to 275,000 children under the age of 15.
Roberts has cautioned me to remember that whether someone is killed by a bomb, a heart attack during an air strike, or a car accident fleeing the chaos, those who initiated the war and who "stay the course" bear the responsibility.
As someone who has followed this war closely, I find the results of the study to be consistent with what I have seen gradually emerging as the war has progressed, based on the work of courageous, mostly independent reporters, and glimpses through the looking glass as more and more cracks appear in the "official story."

Therefore, marketing will be a difficult task to enroll with for a teacher, who is especially in his/her initial stage of teaching. Even if you are an experienced teacher, still you will face problems related to marketing since it requires both time and money massively.

Top seed to Canada, North America stays alive
By Frank Pingue
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada clinched the top spot in Group A by beating Team Europe, while North America stayed in the hunt for a semi-finals berth with a thrilling 4-3 overtime win over Sweden on Wednesday at the World Cup of Hockey.
Canada improved to a perfect 3-0 with a dominant 4-1 win boosted by two goals and an assist by Jonathan Toews and will meet either Russia or North America in Saturday's semi-finals.
Team Europe will play Sweden in the other semi-final.
"Big win for our team," Canada coach Mike Babcock told reporters. "We're set up good."
Sidney Crosby opened the scoring for Canada four minutes into the first period on a wrapround goal past goalie Jaroslav Halak, whose 42 saves including several sensational stops.
Toews, however, capitalized on a Halak turnover to double the lead late in the first period, when Matt Duchene intercepted the goalie's attempt to clear the puck from behind the net and threw it in front to Toews for an easy goal.
Marian Hossa made it 2-1 less than five minutes into the second period, beating Canada goalie Corey Crawford from a tight angle on the left side but Toews restored the two-goal lead with five minutes to go in the period wristing one in on a 2-1 break.
Logan Couture added the final goal with 2:27 left. Continued...

Bosses at Hollywood giant MGM have blasted reports the studio is for sale.
A recent news item in BusinessWeek magazine suggested MGM backers were attempting to offload the company.
But a statement given to Daily Variety insists, "Contrary to recent media reports, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios inc. is not for sale. There is no asking price for the company."
The studio - responsible for Hollywood classics The Wizard of Oz and Ben-Hur - has focused mainly on movie distribution in recent years, but has several big projects in the works, including a collaboration with New Line Cinema on Lord of the Rings prequel The Hobbit.

The objective of detoxification is to assist the cocaine addict in ending the use of the drug as quickly and safely as possible, in a supervised environment. In some cases, it may be necessary to temporarily substitute another drug (such as methadone) which has fewer side effects.
Cocaine abuse and cocaine addiction creates a hell on earth.
Chances are, you know that already.
Probably because you (or someone you love) are in the grip of cocaine's effects. Cocaine is the world's most powerful natural stimulant, and has a higher potential for addiction than most other drugs.
You've been looking for help, for you or a loved one. Help to break the cycle of addiction. Help to make the pain go away. Help to return to life like it used to be, before it all went to pieces.
There is help. And it is possible to kick the addiction to cocaine, and get your life back on track. Cocaine treatment is available, and people just like you are living free from the "hell on earth" that you're experiencing right now.
Gulf Coast Recovery wants you to know all about cocaine - and all about treatment. That's why they support this website. Once you understand what cocaine is doing to your body, to your life, and to the people who care about you, we hope you'll take the first step toward turning things around.

My mom is going back to school!
by Sierra(Editors note: Thank you NLQ readership for your part in making this happen! )Some of you may remember this post, in which I described the frustration of discovering that a clerical error had cost my mom her chance to go back to school for her bachelor's degree. Leaving for school and realizing that my mother would not be able to get her degree felt a lot like survivor's guilt. I was the only one on a clear path out of poverty. She threw her support behind me, and I did the only thing I could do: studied hard to make it up to her.Now, years later, a stubborn daughter, a website, a loan and a very generous group of donors have changed the tide.

**********Obama is going to kiss a lot of asses in the M.East to get off their shit-list!
Lookout, Israel!!!
Obama brags that he got Bin Laden. Maybe this is not such a good thing. He got their leader, so maybe the documentary is right, now they want to get ours? It did surprise us to hear this when it was announced that this reference was in the papers the Seals took back with them. They did not reveal, that I recall, how he had planned to do this. But if the plan is in there, I'm sure government knows what it is. Al-Qaeda will now have to change the plan. If it comes back on we plan to watch it a second time. However, it might be wise for Obama's advisories to tell him to calm down about all the bragging about how he got BL.
Does anyone believe that under Obama's clothes he is fully garbed with bullet proof amour? Remember how quickly they got Bobby Kennedy and Reagan?

Business Success Roadtrip v1
Hour 1 – Gift Giving Increases Receiving
…Even When It Seems To Have No Monetary Connection
As part of my major road trip to Savannah, GA Wordcamp and visiting with various friends and favorite places I documented my mindset and observations and how they relate to successful business development.
The video originally for Hour 1 was actually a victim of the road trip… having not survived something I tried to do to it to as part of creating it on the road… but this story belongs to the trip so I tucked it in here for your enjoyment. I apologize that the audio is a little crackly but the video is only a handful of minutes long. Be sure to check out the rest of the BRS series.
Because "free" has become the new market, and "free" now often has so many strings attached to it in marketing, it gets easy to forget that free should mean free. Free of obligations, free of bribery, free of something owed back. Sometimes we need to give freely to the universe and let the energies at large free up the greater gifts we have yet to receive. Don't under estimate the power of gifts you can not see the outcome of immediately in some kinda marketing funnel. Give freely… and the universe will reward you greatly…
You can find out more about my Business Success Roadtrip series as well as links to others in the series and eventually information on how to download the whole set as mp3s for your own listening over on the announcement page for the Business Success Roadtrip volume 1!
Like it? Love it? How are you giving abundantly to the universe? What cause, charity, foundation, idea, or concept is near and near to your heart and inspires you to give and give and give? What unexpected rewards have you gained from moving forward with abundance mentality when others might have pulled back? I look forward to reading your stories!
If you found this tip useful I hope you'll share and bookmark the page for others to enjoy!
Here's to your unlimited success!
PS: I invite you to check out the Locks for Love Foundation if you feel inspired to help next time you go for a haircut!

HELP! Advice Hardwood floors to carpet dog won't pee on pad again!
I have had my chihuahua for almost 2 years now and I had lived at a place where we had hard wood floors and she used her puppy pad like a pro. However I had to move into my parents house for about 2 weeks and she was limited to a room with some dark colored carpet and she started missing her pad so I had to put cardboard under the pad about a foot extra around it and she still was having issues missing the cardboard but for the most part she did a great job at attempting to make the target
Now after the 2 weeks have passed I have moved back out to my new apartment which has a much more fuzzier carpet and is the standard apartment carpet which I think may be confusing my chihuahua (Vida is her name btw)
I went out and bought a large create and some of the puppy pad trays to make her walk into the pad zone (it has about a 2-3 inch "speed bump" she needs to walk over to get to the pad. She won't even attempt to try to use the pad! She has been peeing on the carpet in random spots! I even moved her pad to the area she pee'ed twice and then she moved to a different spot! Also the apartment is much larger than her old space so I have 2 puppy pads for a 560 sq feet apartment plus a create with a pad in it as well.
I am getting so frustrated!
everytime she pees on the carpet I shame her rub her noise in her pee and give her a spanking place her in the create (small cage not sure if my spelling is right) and leave her for a few hours then place her on her puppy pad for about 20 min while at this time Im trying to encourage her to go potty ( I always say "go potty" when she is outside so I think she understands the concept a bit.
once at my parents house she was visiting and I put down a pad and did my "go potty" speech and tapped the pad and 20min latter like a pro she used her pad! So I know she has been successful in the past!
I live in Minnesota and at times I can be gone for a while about 10-12 hours and I don't have friends or family who could look walk her plus with the cold weather she doesn't go outside much during winter...
I'm sorry for it being long but I'm just so sad to see my baby stuck in a create most of the day as for the time being when ever I walk her and she goes I let her have free run of the apartment for about 2-4 hours then its back to the create for a few hours then out for another potty break.
I have took her out of the create and put her on her pad and kept her there until she pee'ed and I even moved her poo onto the puppy pad to help her get the idea of "this is where I need to do my business"
My guess is that the carpet is much more "grass like" and she is having a hard time sticking to her pad. Also the carpet is very light in color so might be some confusion as well but I think the dark colored cardboard helps with that but idk...
has anybody ever gone through the same thing or have any advice? It just really is making me sad to have to see her in a create all day she isn't able to use up all her energy and it's to cold out to walk her more than 5min
PLEASE any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

I can't help with pad training but...nix the word spanking
people here don't like it.
Those that may give a swat probably keep it to themselves because some people get very angry about things here. Most very nice but they love dogs and since these guys are tiny, they tend to be protective.
I don't think the occasional swat on the bum is bad but to each their own, just a warning.
Have you tried setting aside more play time indoors? I would..a tired dog is usually better to deal with. Mine started pooing inside when I got sick and was hospitalized, unable to walk him.
I know how frustrating it is. It sucks.
Also. If you don't catch her in the act a spanking won't do anything but make her fear you. Dogs cannot connect the two more than two or 3 seconds after it happens. If you catch her make a loud sound, give her a swat (ONE is plenty, gently to the rear, you are not aiming to cause pain, just an annoying sensation) and stick her somewhere appropriate. Pottying where she should needs to receive high praise, a treat, pets, and all the embarrassing happy speak you can muster.

"shaming her", rubbing her nose in her pee and spanking her are cruel and NOT in any way proper house training. I hope that doesn't sound too harsh, but my stomach is sick just thinking how many people out there still think this is how you house train.
She is confused. I read that chis are very tactile in learning where to pee. This makes a lot of sense to me as mine will nearly always seek out grass and when I house trained them I taught them to go on the lawn. A pee pad can feel very much like carpet, especially when the carpet may smell like other animals that may have left behind scent. Pee pads can also feel like bathmats, laundry, etc. which is why I never used them, but I do understand why some people do choose to use them.
Bottom line is you will need to start over with your pup in her new environment. Set up the pads where you want them and contain her to that area at all times you are not able to watch her. When you are with her, take her frequently to her pee pad area to potty and praise her in a happy voice when she goes. In the meantime, clean your carpets thoroughly to remove any remaining smell.
Take the time to retrain her and give her more freedom as she proves herself. But please do not 'shame' her, rub her nose in her pee or spank her. That is really just cruel and does nothing to train her.
My dogs are my heart!

HELP! Advice Hardwood floors to carpet dog won't pee on pad again!
First of all, being away from home for so long every day is going to make house training a little trickier, so you will need some major patience. In my opinion, rubbing a dog's nose in their excrement (and "spanking" them) is absolutely unnecessary, and that's all I'll say about that subject. Positive reinforcement goes a long way. Every time you see her going to the bathroom in a spot that she's not supposed to, immediately move her to her pee pad. You need to watch her every second that she is free. When you can't watch her, and since you're gone from home for such a long time each day, could you put her in a playpen that is set up with her crate on one end (and food/water and toys) and a pee pad on the other?

Totally agree with the last 2 posts - no need for spanking and rubbing noses in it in this day and age.
I would definately invest in a play pen - one of the things that stuck with me is the phrase 'make it easy for them to do well', this will certainly do that. She will not potty in her bed, or by her food/water, so the only other available place is the pee pad.

Dogs, pups need exercise & positive reinforcement to learn. Negative reinforcement will always make learning take longer & one very confused & unhappy baby that doesn't understand what she's doing wrong. When you're at home why do you continue to lock her in the crate still? 10-12 hours is way too long to keep a playful pup locked up & then when you have the time to let her run around & get exercise, you're locking her up again. Lack of exercise can cause many problems in a growing pup including incontinance. She'll learn what you want her to, but it will take time & patience. Chis are very smart & love praise for doing the right thing to please us. If you want your chi to be able to use the crate as a safe place to go on her own, spanking her & putting her in the crate is only going to make the crate seem like a bad place.
Another rule of thumb is, that after your chi has eaten, they usually have to potty in about 15 minutes, so you'll know when to watch her more closely. Don't forget that when she does go potty where she's supposed to, to PRAISE, PRAISE, PRAISE!!! My chi is 7 years old & I still praise her every time she goes where she's supposed to & she even knows what the words "Pee" & "Poop" mean & will go when I tell her.

Do NOT spank her or rub her nose in her mistakes. It's cruel, unnecessary, and doesn't teach a dog anything other than to be afraid of their owner.

thank you all for the posts and suggestions. I think I wasn't very clear in my post but I have only lived here for about 4 days now and I am a online college student who works part time on the weekends where then I could be working long days however I have very flexible hours so I might not work this weekend to help give me extra time to retrain her.
Also she is 2 years old (I still think of her as my baby lol) I do think alot of you are right about the shaming her as I do notice at times she will act like she did somthing naughty and move slowly while I check the carpet only to realize she did nothing wrong! Also before this week I havn't had to give her naughty time outs or shame her for a very very long time.
Also I was reading some of the other threads and sombody suggested putting down extra pads which is what I did last night! I placed 2 additional puppy pads in the other spots she was peeing around ( not many chi get to pick where they get to have their puppy pad! lol
) and SUCCESS!!!! she pee'ed on BOTH of them which was right next to each other and I praised her for about 2min gave her a "cookie" (a dog treat) and then gave her some wet dog food (which I used to give her twice a day but it makes her poo very um... "hard to clean" so I have been not feeding her that... only so much I can deal with lol) and now she is taking a nap.
honestly I havn't had much time to play with her since my move I been so exhausted but I always still pet her and she always follows me around most of the day and jumps around as I talk to her in such a friendly voice. I am going to start playing with her again today given that I am unpacked enough that I could take a day off or two.
Also I haven't caged her when I wasn't home yet. For some reason I feel that would be awful to leave her like that for so long. But I do like the idea of making a play pen right out front of her cage and then locking her in that area seems like a great idea!
I really don't want to mess up a good thing as she has had 2 successes by her self on her pad now but I think I might try to add a 3rd puppy pad with the tray liner that I want her to learn to go on tonight into the area she has been using her pad twice now. I will post updates on how today and tonight goes hopefully it will be a success!
My goal is to be able to adopt a 2nd chi by April ish because at her old home she was lucky to live with her mother as my roommate had a chi and she had babies and I adopted one. I really think she would be soooo much happier to have a play buddy her size as she is very energetic at times and I do play with her a lot but idk I think most chi owners who have more than one knows what im talking about. but one step at a time! lol...
This site seems like a great community with such friendly people I am glad I stopped buy
