Lump Sum Social Security Payment
What is a social security lump sum death payment?The Social Security Lump Sum Death Payment is a benefit that is paid upon the death of an individual who has earned enough credits to have Social Security Insurance. The total of the Social Security Lump Sum Death Payment is $255. The Lump Sum Death Payment is only payable to either a surviving spouse who was living with the deceased individual or was getting Social Security Benefits from the individual's Social Security, or a child of the deceased individual that is eligible for benefits during the month of the death. If there are no individuals that are able to receive the Lump Sum Death Payment then the Lump Sum Death Payment will not be allowed to be paid out. Payment to funeral homes or to an estate for the cost of funeral is also not allowed.
How can a person apply for lump sum death payment online?A person will not be allowed to for a Lump Sum Death Payment online. The reason for this is because the Social Security Office will need to be able to actually see certain documents so the Social Security Office can review these documents. A person that is filing for a Lump Sum Death Payment will need several documents, here is the list of documents that a person will need: proof of death which could be a death certificate, the deceased Social Security and the Social Security number of the individual who is filing, if the individual filing as a widower or widow then this individual will need a copy of the marriage certificate, this individual's birth certificate, copy of divorce papers if the individual is filing as a divorced surviving spouse, the birth certificates and social security numbers of any dependent children, the most recent W-2 or income tax return of the deceased, and the individual that is filing's bank account number so the benefits can be depositing into the account.
Is there a form to fill out if an individual's elderly parent dies, to receive the Lump Sum Death Payment?For an individual to receive the Social Security Lump Sum Death Payment this individual must either be the surviving spouse or a minor child that has been the recipient of benefits off the deceased's account. The surviving spouse pertains to divorced spouses as well, as long as both parties have not remarried. If an individual is eligible for the Lump Sum Death Payment then the individual will need to apply for the benefit at their local Social Security Office.
If a person has received a Social Security Lump Sum Payment can they put the money into an Individual Retirement Account in order to protect the payments from creditors?It may not be possible to place Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits into an Individual Retirement Account since the individual is not actually earning any money. As for creditors they are unable to go after a person's Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits, so if a person receives a Lump Sum Payment from Social Security Disability the money will be safe. There are ways to ensure that the money is safe, one is to make sure that any Social Security Disability Insurance Benefits are placed into a separate account and is not co-mingled with other monies. It is also possible for Social Security to put a person's benefits on a "debit card".
Can a person be denied the Lump Sum Death Payment if the deceased resided in a nursing home?It is stated in the requirements that a person must be residing with the deceased at time of death, it is possible for a person to be denied the Lump Sum Death Payment if this is the case. However it is also stated under the definition of living together that if the person was in a hospital or nursing home and it is able to be proven that the only reason for living separately was due to medical reasoning and if not for those reason the couple would have be residing together.
Social Security does give Lump Sum Payments in certain cases such as disability and death. There are several requirements that a person must meet in order to apply for either type of benefit. The difference in the two Lump Sum Payments is that the Lump Sum Death Payment is a set $255, while disability varies from each individual case. If a person has a question regarding a Social Security Lump Sum Payment, the best place to start is asking an Expert.

Metal Call-Out is as much about our discovery of music as it is about helping you, the reader discover a gem. Therefore it is to be expected that some of the material may be a bit dated, but relevant all the same. Such is the case of the following review of Summoning's 2006 album Oath Bound. Too often I skip over bands worthy of page space because of time constraints or the sheer enormity of metal available for my listening pleasure.
Summoning was one such band and I am almost ashamed of myself for discovering them only late this year. 'Oath Bound' took me on a sonic journey through middle-earth by way of sweeping atmospheres, Tolkien inspired lyrics spat forth by my favorite black-metal vocalist thus far, and song structure of epic proportion. Worthy of a spot in the annals of my iTunes 'favored' playlist, Summoning is not a band to be missed, passed up or forgotten. Favorite tracks: 'Across the Streaming Tide' and 'Land of the Dead'.

Gotze could return to boost title bid
Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp is confident Mario Gotze will be fit for the Bundesliga title run-in.
Gotze has been out of action since mid-December with a troublesome groin injury. He was initially ruled out for up to six months, but his recovery is progressing well and Klopp now expects him to play again before the end of the season.
"The probability that he can still play five or six games for us is relatively high,'' Klopp said ahead of his side's DFB-Pokal clash with Greuther Furth on Tuesday night. "But it is going to take a bit more time yet - he is not fit enough yet.''
Gotze has been receiving treatment at a specialist clinic in Bavaria. He has commenced light training already, but Klopp is not putting him under any pressure to rush his return, not even in view of his side's pivotal clashes with the three clubs chasing his side for the title, Bayern Munich, Borussia Monchengladbach and Schalke.
The Westphalians face those three sides in a row in a month's time, but Klopp insists Gotze will only be involved if he is 100% fit.
"We are certainly not going to bring him back too soon,'' he said. "We will have to see what recommendations he is given and when he will be able to recommence full training.''
In Gotze's absence, Dortmund have extended their unbeaten record to 20 matches, winning nine of their 10 games since the he picked up his injury.
The news of Gotze's recovery will also be a boost to Germany coach Joachim Low, who is monitoring his fitness ahead of his squad announcement for Euro 2012 in May.

Man shot in legs after gang enters home
Police are investigating a possible paramilitary link to a gun attack on a man in Co Antrim.
A gang of up to four men burst into the victim's home in Laburnum Row in the Twinbrook area near Dunmurry at around 10.30pm last night.
He was shot in both legs. Before opening fire, the men assaulted him. It is understood the man, who has not been named, was still being treated in hospital today. The injured man's condition was not believed to be life-threatening.
Police seeking a motive for the incident said there was possibly paramilitary involvement.
Brian Heading, SDLP councillor for the Dunmurry area, condemned the attack but said dissident paramilitaries were still attracting young people in Northern Ireland.
"I would utterly condemn this attack. These people need to pack up and get off the backs of the local community," he said.
"There is no excuse for this type of attack to take place in society."
Mr Heading said that a failure by Stormont between the DUP and Sinn Fein to move government forward has led to a vacuum being created within communities which is being filled by paramilitaries.
Thomas Beckett, DUP chairman of Lisburn District Policing Partnership, said any possible escalation of paramilitary activity was "a great concern".
He added: "I would urge anyone with information about the attack to contact the PSNI.
"They need the public's assistance in apprehending those responsible."

The Cuban government will dismiss more than 500,000 workers — 10 percent of its payroll — but will reportedly allow a major expansion of private economic activity in what would amount to the most significant overhaul undertaken by Raul Castro.
The half-million state employees will be cut by April 1, according to an announcement Monday from Cuba Workers' Central, the government-controlled confederation of labor unions.
The communist government also plans to allow a significant increase in private economic activity in hopes of creating 450,000 non-state jobs by the end of 2011, the Reuters news agency reported from Havana.
The two changes would amount to the most substantial initiatives undertaken by Castro to pull the economy — 95 percent controlled by the communist government — out of its worst crisis in two decades.
Overall, they indicate a government decision to turn small state enterprises such as repair shops into cooperatives run by their employees and expand the number of self-employed such as plumbers and wedding photographers.
Dissident economist Oscar Espinosa Chepe said Castro's reforms so far have been so small and shallow that he doubts the goal of creating 450,000 private-sector jobs next year will be met.
"We need much stronger, deeper measures, like allowing the establishment of small- and medium-sized enterprises," Espinosa said by telephone from Havana.
But there's so much pent-up demand in Cuba that the shift from state to private sector employment is likely to succeed, said Julia Sweig, a Cuba expert with the U.S.-based Council on Foreign Relations.
"There will be an adjustment period, for sure," Sweig said at a news conference Monday. "But the private sector is going to absorb them very, very rapidly."
The Cuba Workers' Central statement said economic plans for 2011-2015 "project the reduction of more than 500,000 workers from the government and state enterprise sectors" by the end of March. Rumors of the massive layoffs had been sweeping Cuba for several months.
Castro earlier this year acknowledged a surplus of more than 1 million workers on the payrolls of the government and state-run enterprises. About 5 million people work for the state — 85 percent of the labor force in a country of 11.2 million people.
"Our government cannot and should not continue maintaining … government entities with inflated payrolls, and losses that drag down the economy are counterproductive, create bad habits and distort the conduct of workers," the CTC added.
The confederation warned that the job cuts will start immediately and cover all sectors of the economy and will not involve the kinds of "indefinite salary subsidies" paid in the past.
Thousands of Cubans laid off from the sugar industry received up to 70 percent of their salaries for years while they studied new careers. Cuba's official unemployment rate is 1.7 percent.
Salaries for those who stay on government jobs also will be adjusted, the statement added, to "revitalize the principle of socialist distribution, of paying each according to the quantity and quality of their work."
The government also will expand the possibility of obtaining private sector jobs through arrangements such as "rents, leases of farm lands, cooperatives and self-employment" in hopes of creating "hundreds of thousands of jobs in coming years," the CTC added.
The statement did not detail those plans, but a report by Reuters in Havana said the government plans to allow a significant increase in private economic activity, which now accounts for only about 600,000 jobs.
Reuters reported that a document circulating among the higher ranks of the ruling Communist Party predicted the increase will allow for the creation of 450,000 non-state jobs in 2011.
About 250,000 of those jobs would be created through self-employment, the report added, a term used to describe small businesses such as family-run restaurants, bed-and-breakfasts, barber shops, plumbers and wedding and birthday photographers.
Virtually all Cuban shops, down to hamburger stands and shoe repair shops, were nationalized in 1968 by Fidel Castro, who surrendered power to his brother in 2006 after emergency intestinal surgery.
Trying to jump-start the economy, Raul Castro already has leased state lands to more than 100,000 private farmers, turned some barber and beauty shops into worker-run cooperatives and given state-employed taxi drivers the opportunity to lease the vehicles in exchange for flat payments to the government.
The new expansion calls for issuing more licenses for self-employment, expanding the categories of work permitted and loosening regulations on those activities, Reuters reported.
Among the restrictions to be lifted are the bans on obtaining bank credits to expand the enterprises, doing business with state entities and hiring employees who are not family members, according to the news agency.
But the self-employed, who now pay an income tax, will also have to pay sales taxes and a 25 percent social security levy for themselves and each employee, Reuters reported, and the newly created cooperatives will pay a tax on profits and social security.

Alas, about half of my risotto went into the compost bin (foodwaste compost bins are common in Berkeley). Although I was feeding it to four people (three of them pretty picky), there was a lot left over. I should have cut the recipe in half. And as you found out, risotto does not reheat happily. A colleague told me that the Italians roll leftover risotto into balls, coat it in crumbs and fry it, which sounds good, but I wasn't up for trying it. My biggest fear in this whole project is to sit there watching my family pick at what I've just labored over and then ask for a bowl of Cheerios. Happens almost every night. At least it keeps me from becoming complacent. (SEE CHRIS'S ORIGINAL RISOTTO POST)

IF I was Gary Hooper, I would stay at Celtic until the end of the season.
The Celtic striker is going to move to the Barclays Premier League eventually, but why would he want to go now when he has the Champions League last-16 tie against Juventus to look forward to?
Depending on which club he goes to, he might never play in the Champions League again, and missing those two matches is something he might regret for the rest of his life. It is a great achievement for him and Celtic to be in the last 16 and who knows, they might even make the quarter-finals. It would be madness to throw the chance away.
Loading article content
As long as he stays injury free, his big move will happen for him in the summer. I don't think it is a hard one for the player, but keeping or selling Hooper could become a difficult decision for Celtic if a big offer lands on the table before Thursday's transfer window deadline.
If Norwich City came back in with, say £8-10 million, that would look like a great piece of business considering Hooper was bought for £2.4m. But my advice would be to knock it back for now because the same sort of money will still be on offer in the summer.
I wouldn't rule out Celtic trying to persuade Gary to stay with an improved deal, with a get-out clause of maybe £8m, but I am not sure that would make financial sense. I reckon they will try to use the argument that they made him into a star and will let him go with a year left on his contract.
I wouldn't take Grant Holt as part of a deal with Norwich either, as he is not a Hooper-type of player. Burnley's Charlie Austin has also been mentioned, but I still don't see why this can't wait till the summer.
As for Victor Wanyama, plenty of mid-table English top-flight clubs would love to take him, but now Manchester United and Arsenal are interested. Sir Alex Ferguson popped into Parkhead this week and he is the master of picking up the right player at the right time without having to pay over the odds, but he is not a great one for adding to his squad in January.
If Celtic were to lose Hooper and Wanyama this week, I would say with some confidence that they will go out of the Champions League. Those two players could be the difference between Celtic staying in or being knocked out by the Italians and Peter Lawwell and Neil Lennon will know that too. I don't think it is too much to ask them to stay for a few more months.
THIS is a huge week for Rangers. They travel to Dundee United in the William Hill Scottish Cup on Saturday with almost all of their fans boycotting the match. The SPL commission on the use of EBTs at Ibrox kicks off on Tuesday, and there are a couple of meetings about league reconstruction which could also have a massive effect on them.
The Rangers-United thing has spiralled out of control in the last few seasons, but only one team will be harmed by the boycott and that is Rangers. United will have a big support who will create a great atmosphere because it is a grudge match now. I am not saying Rangers will lose, but they will be at a big disadvantage before a ball is kicked. Full credit to the fans who do plan to turn up, who back their team through thick and thin and say, 'I am going to watch my team full stop'.
The match itself is hard to call, but on balance I think United will win because they have too much strength and depth, and too many class players, for the current Rangers side. Rangers were a mixed bag against Premier League teams in the Scottish Communities League Cup, beating Motherwell 2-0 then losing 3-0 to Inverness, but I fancy United to go through, and Rangers fans not being there in their usual numbers will be a big help to them.
Rangers have a grievance against the SPL, but we don't want all this bickering and vendettas against clubs dragging on. I have spoken about my own EBT many times in this column, but after a court of law ruled they were administered legally – although HMRC are considering an appeal – it would be a bit rich if the SPL came back and said titles should be taken away because of them. Rangers fans would never forgive that and this could be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Pancreatic agenesis carries neonatal diabetes requiring insulin treatment and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency requiring enzyme replacement therapy. According to a study published in Nature Genetics, the GATA 6 gene mutations seem to be the most common cause of this rare disease. The study was conducted through collaboration between the University of Exeter and the research team led by Dr. Jorge Ferrer at IDIBAPS, Genomic Programming of Beta Cells and Diabetes, where Dr. Ildem Akerman develops her research work.
The work has used massive genome sequencing in 27 subjects suffering pancreatic agenesis to detect that more than half of the mutations were found in GATA 6. This gene was not taken into account as a possible regulator of the pancreas. It has now been discovered that it could be the main cause of the disease, along with other rare cases of mutations in PDX1 and PTF1A. The study also demonstrates the utility of choosing patients with a well defined phenotype and sequencing their entire genome to identify mutations.
The vast majority of mutations in GATA 6 are de novo and are generated spontaneously in the affected person, because pancreatic agenesis was incompatible with life until a few time ago. They are heterozygous mutations, so this gene is so important for the development of the pancreas that having a mutation in just one of two copies of the gene is enough to develop the disease. It is therefore a new etiology of neonatal diabetes. If the role of GATA 6 had not been identified previously in animal experimentation is because of the genetic differences between humans and mice. Homozygous animals for the mutation in GATA 6 are not compatible with life, and heterozygous mice have no symptoms.
One of the main points of the study is the demonstration that GATA 6 plays a key role in the development of the pancreas. Researchers are beginning to study its importance, and its possible application in studies to generate artificial pancreatic cells.

OT: So... Who am I gaming with?
It occurs to me that by now I have done a lot of gaming with people I know very little about. I am worried. Maybe some of you are dangerous internet predators. So let's share a bit of not-too-personal information and get to know each other better.
I'll get the ball rolling.
My real first name is Vincent. I am 31 and I've been playing D&D since I was 13. I am fairly tall (6'4'') and not yet ridiculously out of shape thanks to a flagging but never collapsing discipline in working out. I was born in Montréal (Québec, Canada) and still live there. English is not my native language, which should explain the occasional bizarre turn of phrase but by and large I think I do our education system credit.
I work as a personal account manager at a bank (credit & investment). Do not let the words fool you; I am a far cry from a high rolling workaholic!
I played elite hockey in my youth and I'm a fan of the Habs (Montréal Canadiens). During the playoffs, expect my posting rate to suffer.
Beside RPGs, I like board games and videogames. I used to be an avid reader and am rediscovering the joy of books these days. I love television series; I feel right now they produce a higher quality of storytelling than movies. Dexter and Deadwood are two recent favorites.
Another hobby of mine is trying to write a book (mostly with the ambition of having it be excellent amateur fare on the net, but who knows). I completed a first 300 page draft that was decent and now I am procrastinating about rewriting it in a more dynamic fashion. Right now it's about 70 page of an excellent start and as many pages of notes and disjointed scenes that are very entertaining but do not form anything resembling coherence. This lead me to a conclusion: Professional authors are awesome. All of them, even those who write awful stuff. They are able to finish what they start!
I also am an avid beer aficionado. I wouldn't call myself a connoisseur just yet, but I am getting there. I appreciate a wide selection of beers. I especially like stout ales (and variants like Porter) and Weizen (wheat beers). I have a high tolerance for bitter beers like Indian Pale Ale and love to try experimental beers that toy with exotic ingredients like fruits, maple or various spices. I even enjoy the occasional Pilsener and other quality blond lagers. The only beers I'll avoid are the bland 'soda beers' like Budweiser, Miller, Molson and their ilk. These are great mass market products but poor excuses for beers. Luckily, Quebec is one of the few genuine beer paradise in the world and quality beer is literally just around the corner.
All right, I think that's a reasonable amount of personal but not compromising information about me. I'm sure you all feel much closer to me now.
Your turn.

A mum is appealing to find a digital camera and diabetes testing kit, which she lost during a dog walk.
Jayne Bennett was walking along the seawall in Burnham near Rice and Cole boat yard and caravan park on Saturday during the late afternoon or early evening.
She dropped two black pouches, one containing a bright blue digital compact camera and the other containing a handheld electronic monitor with a pen, which is used to prick the finger to monitor blood sugar levels.
Her daughter Laura said she was devastated at losing the camera, which contained photos from family celebrations over the last year.
Luckily her mum had a spare diabetes testing kit.

DFW.com has confirmed what TV blogger Ed Bark had previously reported: Tammy Dombeck, NBC 5's resident Gridlock Buster, is leaving the station.
The reason, according to Dombeck, is that she and the station "could not agree on contract terms." She'll be around long enough for you to mourn the impending loss, though. Her last day will be July 27.
Dombeck has been with NBC 5 for 12 years, joining the station in March 2000. Her career began as a traffic reporter for many radio stations including 92.5 KZPS and 99.5 The Wolf. She majored in Radio, Television and Film at the University of North Texas.
DFW.com and Ed Bark have both theorized on where Dombeck is most and least likely to end up next, with WFAA/Channel 8 and CBS 11 being named as potential (and entirely theoretical) candidates.

I just discovered this fun reading challenge yesterday and am going to take part--It's hosted by There's a Book and is open to anyone--you don't have to write a blog to enter.
There are various levels to choose from, but since we check out so many books each week and I write about books so often, we are going for the "Harvester" level at 200 books.
There are prizes to be won (in case you need more incentive to join up!) but it's also a great way to meet new bloggers and learn about more books (I'm always up for that!)
Hope to see you there!

It's hard to imagine that we're dining in what was once a Waffle House inside a Holiday Inn. Totally revamped and redecorated, it's now SAIA in the shimmering B Ocean Fort Lauderdale. Instead of chowing down on bacon and eggs, we're savoring sushi rolls with ingredients like blue crab, shrimp tempura and seared scallops and bowls of Thai curry lobster in a chic setting that takes advantage of prime ocean views, albeit across the street. SAIA's exotic-sounding name (pronounced "saya") is actually a cleverly disguised description of its location at the corner of Sunrise Boulevard and State Road AIA.
Chef Subin Chenkorsorn (formerly of The Delano) offers an intriguing menu melding Japanese, Thai and Caribbean influences. Prices aren't high by beach standards, but a meal can get expensive if you have a huge appetite. Small plates start at $10, but sushi, sashimi and roll combos go as high as $39. And be aware that plates listed as shareable are not huge, family-style portions. Dishes arrive as they're ready, beautifully presented on classic white plates, each piece of fish or chicken carefully garnished.
Ambience: The lobby of the 240-room hotel is pretty flashy, with pulsing neon and glimmering light fixtures that look like water bubbles, yet SAIA has a subtle, soothing atmosphere that's sexy enough for a date night. Service is exemplary for an oceanfront restaurant. On both visits, our young servers were charming, accommodating and knowledgeable enough to make smart recommendations. The sleek restaurant is decorated in dark woods, with an elegant, illuminated sushi bar that frames an open kitchen. Eight-seat, high-top tables can handle groups, with more private tables by the windows.
What Worked
A lovely serving of tamari scallops – paper-thin tuna sashimi wrapped the scallop-crabmeat mixture in plump bundles topped with dollops of green tobiko caviar
The fire dragon – a flavorfull roll topped with spicy tuna framing shrimp tempura with avocado and pretty tufts of snow crab
A fun soft-shell crab roll – pink soy wrappers and fried soft-shell crab paired with avocado, arugula and a rich eel sauce
The Ocean Blue roll – eel with creamy boursin cheese, avocado and a crab stick
Shirome spice – small, crisp flounder fillets plated with stir-fried veggies and a sweet-spicy chile-garlic sauce

It is just about our 4 year anniversary at El Cerrito Fitness. WOW!! I never would have thought….actually I was in such denial when I opened the studio 4 summers ago, about my abilities to run a business that I couldn't even look this far ahead. But, here we are. In 4 years I have always been able to pay the bills, pay the trainers and take a salary. Big YAY!! I thank the many people who taught me about running a business. The top few that come to mind: My amazing hubby Dana Meyer who has run his own successful business, Dana Meyer Auto Care for 35+ years, Katie Santos, 1/3 owner of Absolute Center, Pilates and Fitness studio in Lafayette Ca, Michelle Molitor of Nectar Consulting who is a skilled business coach, Lisa Cain of Marketing U who I took marketing workshops from in the very beginning….I know there are more and I am grateful to everyone who has helped me figure out what to do and where to go next to make my business a successful one.
El Cerrito Fitness has gone through transitions over the years. We've added trainers, trainers have left, new trainers have come on board. I have to say very proudly that the only reason trainers have left was to move out of town. As my previous blog-post states, Christina Fisch just moved to LA. We have been in transition for a few months but things are smoothing out and my anxiety level of a few weeks ago has dropped, happily. Each trainer brings their own style, skill and personality to their sessions and classes. I'm so grateful to have these amazing people working with me. Clients continually report how warm and friendly El Cerrito Fitness is.
So….WHAT'S NEW AT THE STUDIO?
Our Kettle Bell Workshop has been a HUGE success. We will offer it again in the fall.
Same with the Bicycle Workshop– coming again soon.
Pilates for Singers will be scheduled soon…..keep checking.
Conditioning for Dancers
Boot Camp for Athletes
Kettle Bells
Let us know if there's something you'd like to see at the studio.
We're going to offer a Beginning Reformer and Beginning Springboard Class….keep checking.
Pre-Natal / Post-Partum Pilates– Private sessions are now being offered.
We have several new moms who are interested in attending a group class. Let us know
if you are one of those new moms and we'll do our best to schedule a class. Baby's are welcome.
4th of July!!!!
Please come visit us at the El Cerrito 4th of July World One Festival. 10-6 PM. Music all day, lots of great food, booths (we'll be one of them) and great community. If you are a client and would like to help out for a few hours please let me know. I am offering one free class in exchange for 2 hours of your time.

Michael Douglas And Catherine Zeta-Jones Are Separating — That Was A Decent Run
After dating since March 1999 and being married since November 2000, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are apparently separating. But guys! Thirteen years! That's a pretty good haul for a coupla kids born on the same day, September 25th, just twenty-five years apart.
Twenty-five years! That's a lot of years! That's pretty much all of my years. To the point that if I wanted to pull a Mikey Douglas myself, my bouncing baby CZJ would be turning one year old this coming Monday. (And yes, that was me telling you that my birthday is on Monday. Please feel free to send all cakes and flowers to the Crushable office via Pony Express. And I shall be keeping the ponies.)
No documents have yet been filed by either party, but this split has been rumored for a while, and the couple also hasn't been photographed together since April, so there are no glaring reasons why this might not be true. According to a source close to the couple, "They're taking a break. They want the best for their kids no matter what happens." Another insider pointed out that the relationship has been strained lately by the pair's multiple health problems. As you may recall, Catherine checked herself into rehab earlier this year for her Bipolar II Disorder, and Michael has been battling throat cancer apparently caused by an especially vigorous cunnilingus regimen: "The stress has taken a toll on their marriage."
But before you get too bummed out about love being dead and everything ending, let's not forget that when these two met in France back in the day, Michael's pick-up line was, "I want to father your children." So…hey! Mission accomplished, right? Because these two made a couple of Douglases together — Dylan and Carys, born in 2000 and 2003, respectively. I'd say with a success rate like that, it's totally reasonable to pack it up and call it a day.

Free betting picks
Brighton & Hove Albion - Newcastle United
The form and consistency is with the Magpies and one must expect Rafa Benitez's team to be fully fit after having a week to prepare for this game. Chris Houghton's team lack the self-belief and have major problems in playing the ball forward. And on current circumstances, we can only back Newcastle to bag a narrow win here.
Juventus Torino - Torino
Torino are coming on the back of an excellent form and this is a huge confidence booster for the team when taking on a team like Juventus. But, we need to understand that their 5-match unbeaten streak at the start of the season came against teams that finished outside the top six in Serie A last season.
Yet, it is extremely difficult to take points away at the Juventus Stadium. The only thing that punter must consider here is a much better competitive effort from the visitors. So, both teams to score and over 2.5 goals are all probable happenings in this fixture. But, the Old Lady are expected to bag all three points when the final whistle blows.
Olympique Lyon - Dijon
In this fixture, there is no doubt that the hosts are the favourites. Based on everything above, and their head to head encounters, we also believe there will be three or more goals in total and goals on both sides of the pitch.
SPAL - SSC Napoli
SPAL have failed to score in their last three fixtures. That's of no surprise though as they have not been able to venture forward and have rather opted to park the bus in a quest to try to grind out a draw. It's backfired and rather than earning the point they want, they end up with nothing to show for it. Whilst they haven't been humiliated 4-0 or 5-0, it ultimately doesn't matter – they're still losing and aren't expected to get anything out of this fixture against Napoli, either.
Montpellier - PSG
The visitors are the absolute favourites in this fixture. We expect them to return home with the easily gained three points and possibly demolishing Montpellier with big goal difference.

The tale of a cat named Burt Bachacat
His name was Burt Bachacat. He lived in a wooden one-storey house with a comedian and a Rastafarian, in a central Auckland suburb. When he ran, which was infrequently, a fatty paunch would swing awkwardly below his torso. When he was picked up, his legs would turn rigid while his body curled into a sharp-spined crescent. He was loyal. He was loved. One day he ran away.
In another life the cat was called Boy Boy. At an unknown time he was dropped off at the Auckland SPCA where he sat in a corner of a room reserved for felines with cat flu. Boy Boy was grey and white with a smudge on his nose from a past fight. He was four years old and had several missing teeth.
Rose Matafeo, comedian, presenter on TVNZ's U Channel and most recent recipient of the Billy T Award, had grown up with cats. There were plenty of strays that filtered in and out of that one-storey wooden house over the years. A couple stayed for longer. Once one got sick so her mother Diane tookit to the vet. They never named any though. If you named a pet, it was yours, Diane said.
Rose grew up with a paralysing fear of dogs and hated any sort of rodent. Rats, mice - both were horrific. In winter last year, she and her boyfriend, fellow-comedian Guy Williams, decided they wanted a pet. Sort of. So they packed into Guy's '98 Saab and jumped on the Southern Motorway.
"I don't think this is our cat," Rose said to Guy at the SPCA in Mangere. "Boy Boy? What sort of stupid name is that?" Guy liked him. Rose needed to think. They left. They thought. They came back. Before she knew it, Boy Boy was being led into a cardboard box and heaved onto her lap in the passenger seat of the car. He jerked and scratched with every pot hole. When they got to Guy's apartment, Boy Boy ran and hid for several days. Rose tried to take cute photos of their new addition to post on Twitter. All she got was a hissing cat staring at her from under a bed.
Boy Boy lived a hermit's lifestyle in that apartment. He slept in a cupboard on top of a box of rolled oats. Guy would go on tour, or back to his family in Nelson, and Boy Boy would head to Rose's place. Guy had always liked the name Ben. Rose thought that was the worst name ever. There were three categories to cat names, she believed. There were ones like Misty, Nibbles, Kitty and Tibbles. Ones like Ben, John, Jarrod and Henry. And then there were pun names. Ones that were named after characters. She always liked Bilbo, but Peter Jackson ruined that for her. Since she was a child Rose had loved Burt Bacharach - the American singer and composer. She was a curious old soul in a 20-year-old's body. The name spilled out. Burt Bachacat.
Guy continued to call the cat Ben. It never responded. But at the sound of 'Burt', the cat formerly known as Boy Boy would spin around, his paunch flying through the air, and come running. After a while, with Guy travelling the country so often, it seemed like a good idea to let Burt stay at Rose's. He turned into a different cat, at that one-storey wooden house. It was where Rose and one of her brothers had been born; the only place she'd ever lived.
On a living-room counter was an award for service to school life that she had been given as a 12-year-old. There were hundreds of ticket stubs to gigs like Jimmy Cliff, The Roots and Bob Marley attached to a door. There were Samoan tapa cloths and a large painting of the Lion of Judah on the walls. It was home. Here was grass underfoot, sunshine and outside air to breathe. Burt could roam and be free.
He turned a little sassy.It sounded crazy, said Rose, but after a while she really thought her cat was actually a human. It sounded like she was an old, weird cat lady, she admitted, but Rose could not get past those eyes - deep green, penetrating things. He would stare so intently at her. He would walk past a mirror in the hallway and look into himself as if he was recognising an entirely different entity - a 1920s mustachioed black-and-white film actor, Rose imagined. (Or perhaps Rose was merely admitting that she had a void in her life that she wanted to be filled with a 1920s mustachioed black and white film actor.)
Burt looked like a Maine Coon cat. They were known for their distinctive size, look and hunting skills. He talked a lot. Rose would talk back. First she started in English. "What are you talking about?" she would ask. "What's the problem?" Slowly she devolved into Burt's own language -a strange, persistent meow, meow. Rose believed she had gained some level of fluency. She could not and did not want to undo what she called "the crazy cat lady thing".
The first time Burt went missing, Rose was on a comedy tour. Her mother, a longtime Rastafarian with long flowing dreadlocks, called to tell her. "Oh yeah, whatever," Rose replied." He will come back." And he did.
On the evening of Rose's 21st-birthday party, her friends handed her a framed pencil portrait of her cat. It was Burt, neck turned, staring out from the paper. And then, almost as if it was a clean transition, Burt was gone. There was, Rose believed, a distinct possibility that his spirit had been captured in the portrait and his earthly body had dissipated.
Two days later the subject of that drawing had still not turned up."Burt!" Rose tweeted on March 2. "If you're reading this, come home - I'm going to watch New Girl and I don't want to recap it for you." Nothing. "Seriously Burt," Rose tweeted on March 3, "come home." Not a sign. "On the front steps with my laptop," Rose tweeted on March 4, "quietly crying and yelling my cat's name."
He had gone missing before, Rose added, but this time it felt horrible. She went to a food court and ate a laksa alone. Rose could not stop crying. It was a strange feeling. It was only now, after Burt and his stupid face had gone missing, that she realised how much company he had been. She would watch movies on her laptop and Burt would come up and perch up with her following all the action. He liked action movies. He liked The Avengers.
Memories came back to her like a curious hazy montage movie scene, with the words "If you get lost between the moon and New York city" playing over the top of it. She made posters, using the portrait of her cat. "BURT BACHACAT," she tweeted. "WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE (preferably alive)." The reward, she said, was 100 hot dogs.
She posted them all over her neighbourhood. When you put up your own posters, you have to believe your pet is doing just fine. Maybe he went on a road trip with the voice of Sally Field in Homeward Bound, she thought. Maybe he went to go find himself, to find a mate, to find a friend to explore the great unknown of the greater Herne Bay/Ponsonby area.
Then, one night when Rose was home alone, the phone rang. "Ummm," the voice on the other end of the line began, "I have your cat here." "Where?" Rose demanded. "At Cox's Bay Reserve. I'm playing with him." Rose felt like screaming: "PUT HIM ON THE PHONE!!!" But she didn't. She rang up her mother and calmly explained: "I'm potentially going to get murdered."
It had been almost a week and she was desperate. She went with Burt's box, some treats and her wits about her. There were no lights in the park when she arrived. It was dark and empty. It was then that she realised this was probably a very terrible idea. She called her mother again and waited for her to arrive. The anonymous caller did not leave a number. She did not get a name. It was a mystery and Burt was still missing. Eight days on, Rose started to hand out flyers to her neighbours. There were some Irish people two doors down who were nice. There was a guy at the other end of the street with a name that started with an 'X'. There was an old lady who seemed very concerned about Rose's predicament.
"How long have you had him?" the lady asked. "Just for a bit," Rose replied. "I've had mine for 15 years." Rose looked over her shoulder to see a particularly miserable hairball staggering along the floor with a look on its face that seemed to implore: "Help me." Next door was another woman who arrived at her porch with a knitted hat tied around her neck. It seemed like a strange accessory but Rose did not question it. The woman took a flyer from Rose and reached into the hat and pulled out a mouse. Then another one. "They just woke up," the woman said. Rose had her hands at her mouth, trying to conceal her shuddering terror. She backed away. It was horrific and Burt was still missing.
She wandered down the road and found a group of loitering cats. She asked if they had seen Burt. None seemed very interested. She set up an email account. firstname.lastname@example.com. If anyone wanted to send Burt a message telling him why it was not cool to leave home, Rose said on Twitter, then email him. And they did. "Do you know how worried your Rose is?" one person asked. Rose created a faux postcard which purported to be from Burt asking, "Do you know the way to San Jose?"
Rose admitted the whole thing had become a little weird. But it was funny. And it was a way to deal with the loss she was feeling. Cats had already become a large part of her comedic repertoire. They were good material. This, though... this was horrible. It had been more than two weeks now and she felt like she had to give up. "My cat is dead," she thought. "I'm going to have to deal with this."
She would miss Burt's loyalty - him sleeping on her bed every night. His enquiring sounds as he entered a room to make sure he was not missing out on anything. His malted hair sitting on his favourite broken chair. His company.
Then, in the following days, Rose asked her closest neighbour to check under her house. It was a last desperate attempt. The neighbour looked in the morning. There was nothing. She checked in the afternoon. She heard something. It was something talking. It was a meow. It was Burt.
Rose was on television, hosting U Live when her mother found out the good news. She didn't want to disturb her daughter while she was working, but this was too good to hold onto. She texted her and live on air, tears came to Rose's eyes.
"MY HEART IS SMILING I LOVE MY CAT EVERYONE GO HUG YR CAT RIGHT NOW," Rose tweeted.
Burt Bachacat was back.

Can u please get back to me thanks
Pulse Dye Laser On Surgery Scars on Calves?
Doctor Answers 2
Treating scars with pulsed dye laser
Scars are very effectively treated with the pulsed dye laser. However, scars on the lower legs from surgery are an be more difficult to treat and require more treatments. The reason behind this is that the blood pools in your leg so surgical procedures such as in the legs take longer to heal. That is why the face tends to heal more quickly and with fewer treatments. Please find an experienced dermatologist for your future treatments.

Pulsed Dye Laser in Los Angeles
The pulsed dye laser works very well to reduce redness in active scars. If you are considering fractional co2 laser, you may consider the pulsed dye laser afterwards. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

The newly appointed joint commissioner of police (traffic) for the city has made bold promises about cracking down on illegal parking on footpaths, and returning the city's pavements to its pedestrians — which also happens to be the ultimate aim of mid-day's campaign against parking on footpaths. In an exclusive interview with this paper, Dr B K Upadhyay shared the plans he has up his sleeve to make these promises a reality
Taking note of mid-day's campaign against parking on footpaths, Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Dr B K Upadhyay, has taken up the task of ridding the city's pavements of illegal parking lots, and returning the walkways to Mumbaikars. In an exclusive interview he shares the plans he has up his sleeve to make his promise a reality
Q. As the traffic head, what will you do for the footpaths that have been occupied by motorists for parking?
A. This has become a huge problem in the city and I will make sure that footpaths are only for pedestrians and not to park vehicles.
Big Promises: Dr B K Upadhyay, the newly appointed joint commissioner of police (traffic). PIC/Bipin Kokate
Q. Do you agree that accidents are partly caused by parking on footpaths?
A. This could be one of the reasons — people don't have space to walk on the footpaths meant for them, as vehicles have occupied these walkways. They are forced to walk on the roads.
Q. What will your action plan be against this menace of illegal parking on footpaths?
A. I have already started work on this and I have asked the staff concerned to locate stretches where illegal
parking takes place.
Q. How are the traffic authorities planning to tackle the parking problem?
A. We need more exclusive parking spaces in the city and it's the duty of the BMC to provide these spaces in the city. There is limited space for parking, but a high volume of vehicles. We have 12,000 vehicles for every kilometre of road. We get questions all the time from people about where they should park their vehicles. If someone owns a car, he can't keep it in his pocket. We are already in talks with the BMC for the construction of a multi-storey parking space. If we want a permanent solution for parking issues, we need more of these multi-storey parking spaces. Motorists are ready to pay for parking, if their vehicles are kept in a safe place. It's not only about levying fines and towing vehicles away — we are doing our duty, but unless and until permanent solutions are made available, it won't help the city.
Q. Ordinary people still have the mindset that it's easier
to just bribe the cop and get away with illegal parking.
A. We are trying to decrease malpractices through internal vigilance and are keeping an eye on the traffic signals. We have asked our staff to move about as much as possible so they can nab errant motorists red-handed.
Q. Do you think that fines imposed for violating traffic rules should be raised so that it pinches the errant driver?
A. The fine amount has already been specified in the Motor Vehicles Act and we can't ask for anything above that. I will look into this personally and check the categories for the most common violations and try to maximise the fine for such categories. Cases of rash driving, signal jumping and drink-driving need to be taken seriously in order to control accidents and impose traffic discipline.
Q. Mumbai has lost its earlier repute of being one of the most disciplined cities for drivers
A. We are trying to educate people against violating traffic rules. One of the main reasons for lack of discipline on the roads is that the number of vehicles has increased and our enforcement has decreased. We are conducting drives constantly. If people know that the police will be there to catch them, they will follow the rules. We are trying to shed our bad image.
Q. Despite rules banning
two-wheelers on JJ Flyover, they can be seen there. What's being done about that?
A. There will be continuous drives at spots like JJ Flyover. Earlier, the drives were held for just a few days, but now there will be checks every day, especially during peak hours.
I have visited the flyover and in just a few days, we have fined over thousands of two-wheelers for riding on
JJ Flyover.
Q. How about more speed cameras to catch errant drivers?
A. CCTV cameras have been installed at the traffic junctions and we use them to track number plates of cars that violate traffic rules. As of now, we are not in the process of increasing the number of CCTV cameras, because the government has already made plans for that all across the city for better security.
Q. There has been a surge in the number of two-wheelers in the city, and this is often cited as a reason for indiscipline, lane-cutting, overtaking and simply cutting into traffic as the vehicles wend their way through choked roads.
A. The choked roads are the responsibility of the BMC. We are doing our duty by ensuring traffic discipline and catching people who violate traffic rules.

What about footpath Vendors and Stalls !
Thank you Midday for your efforts. I would like to point out that at Worli on Pandurang Budhkar Marg near and opposite Century Mills, squatters are occupying not only the pavement but also part of the road. They need to be removed from there. BMC is NOT doing anything for 10 years now.
Welcome - Dr B K Upadhyay hope you keep your promises - look the LBS Marg now the Phoneix Mill is located - on the opposite road is a garage - every night there are like rows of Rickhshaws parked on the pavements and Private buses - unable to walk even to church which is down the road we are senior citizens and one day you will realise that too if you reach a stage when no one listens or people abuse the system. thanks for the initiative hope it is implemented. It is normal civic sense.

Text below star rating is a free Apple product placement
In marketing, it's often said to never mention your competitor by name, as this makes it easier for the consumer to cross-shop because you have provided them a comparable product. Knowing this, Microsoft has recently updated its Surface website to bash Apple products but they have done it at an awful location, the product selection website.
The page that Microsoft has chosen to attack Apple is the same page where you select your product to checkout. Presumably, if the consumer is already at this page, they are heavily leaning towards buying a Surface but with the added knock of Apple bashing, Microsoft has placed a competitors name at the point of sale.
Why would you ever want to do this? If the consumer is one mouse click away from buying your product, why would you mention your competitor by name as it could spark the user to go view the competition that they may not have considered without the reminder from Microsoft.
Text below star rating is a free Apple product placement
The Apple bashing appears on the Surface 1, Surface 2, and Surface 2 Pro pages that means that the placement of the text was intentional.
We can understand that Microsoft would want it's Surface to look superior to Apple products on other marketing pages where the company is still trying to persuade the consumer to buy their device, as this is common practice. But on the checkout page, Microsoft should keep the statements free of competitors' names to not tempt the buyer to cross-shop.
The update to the page is fairly recent as you can see in the image below, obtained by using Google's webpage caching feature, Apple's product names are absent from the page.
Previous text obtained via Google cache
We know that Microsoft is doing everything it can to help support its Surface business model that trails behind Apple's iPad, but surely there are better ways to go about promoting your own product and bashing the competition at locations other than the point of sale. For now, though, Apple is getting a free product placement on the Surface checkout page, and even though it may not be a favorable statement, they are getting a free, last minute, brand placement that could turn away a few buyers.

If you're the proud owner of a new puppy, you'll find that a reliable source of free puppy training tips makes the next few weeks a whole lot easier.
Puppy training begins the day you get your little guy or girl home......
and when you start out the right way, it makes the whole process much
quicker (and less stressful for everyone).
That little bundle of fur may be a baby right now, but you'll be amazed at how quickly he grows.... and a Rottweiler puppy is going to grow A LOT!
If you want him to grow up to be a happy, well-adjusted, sociable, and obedient dog you need to take some time right now to teach him some basic manners and obedience commands.
An untrained or unruly/disobedient puppy will become an untrained unruly/disobedient dog, and that will not lead to a happy life for anyone - dog or owner.
Many dogs are abandoned every year for 'behavioral' issues (such as housebreaking problems or excessive biting and so on). The majority of these could have easily have been prevented in the first place with a little bit of time and effort.
So don't let your puppy become a statistic! Instead, take advantage of these free puppy training tips and give him the gift of a long, happy family life.
Training a puppy isn't difficult, and it should always be fun (for both you and your puppy), but there are some basic guidelines that you need to follow if your want your puppy training efforts to be successful.
There are two main types of puppy training that you'll be concerned to
begin with...... house training or house breaking and basic
House training involves teaching your puppy to eliminate outdoors (or if necessary, but not recommended, on pee pee pads/litter tray indoors) and you'll find all the information you need (and more free puppy training tips) about this aspect of puppy training on my Housebreaking A Puppy page.
Basic puppy obedience training and 'manners' needs to be taught at the same time, and you'll start out slowly and build up.
Depending on how old your puppy is when you bring him home, and what sort of environment he spent his first few months of life in, you may even have some re-training to do, or some behavior problems to deal with.
Learning to be sociable and confident with other people, dogs and situations is also an important aspect of your puppy's lessons. You'll need some free puppy training tips to cover this area too.
Although your new puppy is a smart little guy, and is eager to 'soak up' all the experiences and lessons that he can, he has a very short attention span! Any 'teaching' at this age needs to be given in very short 'bursts' and the key words here are 'little but often'.
Rottweilers are very intelligent dogs, and they're always eager to please. I have owned other breeds, and I can honestly say that in my experience Rottie pups make great (and very willing) students :o)
Here is a list of some important free puppy training tips that will help you start out the right way.......
Tips For Training A Pup The Right Way!
Puppy training isn't just a way of teaching your puppy about the right way to behave in our human world, but about building the relationship between you. The free puppy training tips above will help you do both.
Your puppy loves you no matter what, but in order to fully trust you he has to feel that you know what you're doing and that you are able to take care of him. He'll look to you for leadership, direction and answers, and if you can't provide them he'll make up his own. That is not what you want!
Learn the basic dog obedience training commands in German here....
German Dog Commands
You don't want to wait for your pup to start attending a Puppy Obedience Class before he learns his first commands.
He'll most likely have several weeks with you before he's fully vaccinated and able to be around other puppies,
So it's important to make the most of those weeks by helping him to understand some of the basics at home.
Although you probably spent lots of time and energy looking at Rottweiler names for your puppy, he doesn't even know (or care!) what his name is. So, the first thing you want to do is get him to learn that when he hears his name he needs to pay attention.
Most puppies LOVE treats, and food makes a great reward. Choose quiet
moments when your pup is paying attention to you and say his name, then
give him a tiny treat. Do this half a dozen times.
Once he's familiar with this and has learned to associate his name with a treat, try saying it when he's not already paying attention to you (but not when he's fully absorbed in a tasty bone or playing with the cat).
When he responds by looking at you, then give him a treat. If your practice this daily, your little guy will learn his name very quickly.
This is usually the easiest basic puppy obedience command to teach. Here's a simple way to do it....
Get a handful of tiny, tasty treats and then get your puppy's attention. Hold one of the treats right in front of his nose and ask him to 'sit' in a firm, calm voice. Then move the treat slowly up and back over his head.
Your little guys' nose will follow the treat upwards, and his rear end will go downwards! As soon as his little butt hits the floor, tell him "good sit" and give him a treat and praise. Again, practice a few times each session.
When it comes to teaching your pup to 'come', the following free puppy training tips could be lifesavers! That's because the 'recall' is probably THE most important puppy obedience command there is.
The aim is to get your pup to respond to your 'come' command without hesitation, and without even thinking that there's an option.
Just think about it. If you open the front door and your puppy slips through and is off down the street in the blink of an eye, imagine what kind of trouble he could get into. But, if he's learned that when he hears "Brutus come!", he needs to stop in his tracks and do just that - he'll be a whole lot safer.
The most important of the free puppy training tips related to the recall, is NEVER to practice this if your puppy has an option to ignore your command. Puppies are creatures of habit, and learn through association. If your little guy gets into the habit of coming to you everytime you say "Brutus come", it will be 'hardwired' into his brain. He'll do it instinctively. The same applies if he learns that he can ignore you!
So, always practice the recall with your pup on a long training leash (or even a long piece of light rope). Get his attention by saying his name, and then in a happy, excited voice, say "Brutus come" and crouch down, clap your hands or do whatever you can to encourage his little legs to get him to you asap. Give him a tasty treat and lots of praise as soon as he reaches your arms.
You can do this inside your house to begin with, then move out to the yard, then even the street or local park etc. (once he's had all his canine vaccinations of course), but always have him on a leash.
He needs to be 100% reliable, no matter what the distraction, before you can let him off-leash and expect him to come back.
This will be unlikely to happen until he's in an Intermediate Dog Obedience class, so don't rush things.
This can be a bit more difficult to teach, as some puppies resist lying down on command, especially the more 'alpha' or dominant ones.
But if
you start early, and are consistent with your practice, your little guy
should learn pretty quickly.
It's best to leave this command until after your pup has mastered the 'Sit' command. That's because it's easier to get a pup into the 'down' position from a 'sit' than from when he's standing firmly upright on all four paws!
Once your pup is sitting nicely, take another treat and hold it in front of his nose. Then this time, slowly lower the treat to the floor, moving slightly away from the pup and towards you as you do so. Your puppy's nose should follow the treat downwards, and his legs will slide forward to help him reach it better. Aim to be holding the treat on the ground, between his two front paws when he's lying down.
Some pups 'get this' right away, others seem to struggle a bit and try to bend themselves around like a pretzel to avoid lying all the way down. If your pup does this, help him out by using your free hand to gently pull his front legs forward so that his tummy gets to ground level.
As soon as he's lying down, say "good down" and give him his treat and a lot of praise. Don't overdo the repetitions on this one, do it 2 or 3 times, and then move on. Just make sure to practice several times a day.
When it comes to puppy training, teaching your pup the 'leave it' command is one that is often overlooked, which is a pity because it's a very versatile and useful command.
Rottweilers are a guardian breed, and they will naturally 'guard' you, protecting you from threats.... but they shouldn't guard objects (such as toys or bones etc.) from you!
Food-guarding, or possession-guarding, is actually pretty common in puppies of all breeds, and the more treasured the object the more intense the desire to protect it from predators.
This is a natural canine behavior and in the wild I imagine it fits in pretty well, but in a human household it's a 'no-no' and any attempts need to be discouraged from day one.
It's best to start teaching your Rottie pup the 'leave it' command when he's playing with one of his toys, but not an edible one. Get a few of his favorite treats in your hand and then ask him to 'leave it', simultaneously removing the toy from his possession. If it's in his mouth, don't tug or he'll think it's a game, instead gently open his mouth and take it out instead.
As soon as you have the toy, tell your pup "Good Leave It", and give him a treat. The immediately give him back his toy - you want him to give it up to you next time you ask and if you take it away now he'll resist in the future!
Practice this way several times a day for a week or so, then move on to removing a bone or edible chew toy. As with all the other commands in the free puppy training tips above, you need to practice regularly so that the desired behavior becomes an instinctive reaction, a habit, and your pup obeys without even thinking about it.
The 'leave it' command comes in very handy if your pup gets hold of something he shouldn't, or something dangerous, or is inclined to pick up all sorts of junk when out walking. In fact in some cases (such as finding something toxic) it could actually save his life.
If your puppy shows any tendency to 'guard' his food bowl, toys, bones etc., you need to follow certain steps to make sure he doesn't get comfortable protecting his 'stuff' from the humans in his household!
There are also certain steps you can take to make sure that food or resource guarding doesn't ever get started, check out my page on dog food aggression to learn how to prevent, or deal with, food guarding in dogs and puppies.
Puppy leash training needn't be a struggle if you approach it the right way! Learn exactly how to leash train your pup by visiting my Leash Training A Puppy page.
These points are worth re-emphasising.....
There's a huge range of dog training equipment available and having the right 'stuff' can really make training your pup a whole lot easier!

NORTH RIDGEVILLE — While Lake Ridge Academy coach Lisa Medvetz is hoping to hold on until Jan. 10, Avon Lake coach Dave Zvara was more concerned with Nov. 23.
Senior Emily Nicholas scored 14 points and grabbed 11 rebounds while the Shoregals pitched a second-quarter shutout in their 49-21 win over the Royals on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.
With just eight players on its roster, Lake Ridge (0-1) is playing short-handed until Jan. 10. That's when Megan and Rachael Williams, transfers from Bay, along with Brianna Kirk, a transfer from Elyria, will be eligible.
Avon Lake (1-0) led 16-10 after the first quarter, then outscored Lake Ridge 16-0 in the second to put the game away before halftime. The Shoregals' pressure defense held Lake Ridge to 0-for-10 shooting and forced eight turnovers in the pivotal period.
"We have a lot of aggressive girls that really go after the ball," Zvara said. "We always tell the girls to do that, but when they do it on their own it makes it a lot easier to coach them. They go after the ball hard and they play together.
"When you press you don't think about things as much … you just go out there and play. You just go down the floor and fire away. Sometimes when you shut the head off you play better."
Avon Lake outrebounded Lake Ridge 50-36 and had 23 offensive boards. Nicholas had six offensive rebounds and blocked three shots.
"We knew we had to play aggressive to get the win," Nicholas said. "We wanted to have an advantage with both offensive and defensive rebounds and we were able to get a lot of putbacks."
The Royals started a senior, two sophomores and two freshmen. Those freshmen,
6-foot-3 center Pella Baker and 6-1 forward Maria Janasko, had impressive debuts. Baker ended with six points and game-highs in rebounds (12) and blocked shots (six), while Janasko scored six points, pulled down seven rebounds and blocked four shots.
Senior point guard Selena Benz had five points and six assists for Lake Ridge.
"You don't see freshmen come out there and push and shove seniors and juniors like those two did," Medvetz said. "Those freshmen and Selena's leadership … that was big. I'm excited about that."
Hannah Nicholas, a sophomore guard, scored eight points and snared 10 rebounds for the Shoregals. Senior Logan LeDuc added five points and six steals.
"Obviously Lake Ridge is not at full strength," Zvara said. "They're going to be good later this season, but we played them today."

Any Latitude gateway that installs MSDE 1.0 and creates mpweb database
MPWeb 4.1.3, 4.2.0, 4.2.5, MP Notes 4.1.3, MP Outlook
Note: This Field Notice is a legacy Latitude Field Notice that has been converted to the Cisco format so the information would remain available to their customers.
In some Latitude gateway deployments that use MSDE 1.0 (the desktop engine from SQL Server 7), the resultant mpweb database files are either put under c:\MSSQL7 or c:\MSSQL7\Data.
Note:?The actual location may not be as shown above if you manually selected a different folder name during MSDE installation. However, the focus here is on the different folder structure and on having the extra \Data subfolder.
This appears to be an inconsistency problem in the various builds of MSDE, which is beyond the scope of discussion.
When you install MPWeb 4.2.7, and are using local MSDE, MPWeb installer will install a later version of MSDE (MSDE 2.0). This version of MSDE expects the mpweb database file to be under :\install_folder\Data, so if it cannot find that database file, it will generate an error message in the eventlog:
Database schema version could not be read
Note:?Worse yet, if the mpweb database file is directly under :\install_folder, it could be deleted during the MSDE 2.0 upgrade.
Note:?Due to the nature of this problem, for example, the mpweb database could have been inadvertently deleted during upgrade. Starting immediately, you should check for the location of the mpweb database file before upgrading MeetingPlace Web.
MPWeb install or upgrade will not work.
Manually move the mpweb database files, mpweb.mdf and mpweb.ldf, into the :\�c..\Data subfolder. The same location where all the default database files from SQL Server such as master, tempdb, model and msdb are located. This example assumes a folder name of \MSSQL7.
Note:?In some rare situations we have seen a folder structure of \�c\Data\Data. The main objective you want to accomplish is to make sure that mpweb database is in the same folder as the rest of SQL server system databases. For example master, tempdb and so on. If necessary, you can use the same procedure below to move the mpweb database to the correct folder.
Locate the following two files on the MeetingPlace Web server: mpweb.mdf and mpweb.ldf.
If the above two files are located in :\MSSQL7\Data, then you are ok and it is safe to proceed with installing the new MPWeb 4.2.7. You can skip the rest of this document.
If the above two files are located in :\MSSQL7, then continue with the following steps to move the database files to the right folder.
Note:?DO NOT install the new MPWeb 4.2.7 at this point.
Stop all MeetingPlace services.
Access the command prompt by going to Start | Run and typing cmd.
At the C:> prompt, type osql -U sa
Enter your password.
Dump the mpweb database to create a backup copy by typing as follows at the osql prompts:
> dump database mpweb to disk = 'C:mpweb.dmp' 2> go
The following is a sample output. Numbers will vary from database to database:
Processed 144 pages for database 'mpweb', file 'MPWEBData' on file 1. Processed 1 pages for database 'mpweb', file 'MPWEBLog' on file 1. Backup or restore operation successfully processed 145 pages in 0.380 seconds (3.107 MB/sec).
Detach the database by typing as follows at the osql prompts:
1> sp_detach_db 'mpweb' 2> go
You will see the following output:
Successfully detached database 'mpweb'. DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact your system administrator.
Using File Explorer move the two files, mpweb.mdf and mpweb.ldf from :\MSSQL7 to :\MSSQL7\Data. Make sure to move the files. Do not leave a copy in :\MSSQL7.
Re-attach the database 'mpweb' by typing as follows at the osql prompts:
1> sp_attach_db 'mpweb','C:MSSQL7Datampweb.mdf' 2> go
You will see the following output:
Successfully attached database 'mpweb'.
Confirm that the database can be accessed and that the physical files have been re-attached by typing the following at the osql prompts:
1> use mpweb 2> go 1> select fileid, name, filename from sysfiles 2> go
You will see the following output. Ensure that :\MSSQL7\Data\mpweb.mdf and :\MSSQL7\Data\mpweb_log.ldf are in the output:
fileid name filename 1 MPWEBData C:\MSSQL7\Data\mpweb.mdf 2 MPWEBLog C:\MSSQL7\Data\mpweb_log.ldf (2 rows affected)
Exit osql by typing exit at the 1> prompt.
Restart MeetingPlace services and make sure the system works by checking the log and verifying that you can access the MeetingPlace Web interface.

Blazing Container Ship 'Hansa Brandenburg' Abandoned
The 2002-built Liberian-flagged ship, operated by German company Leonhardt & Blumberg, was abandoned by the crew 200-miles NE of Mauritius after a fire spread from a container to engulf the ship's superstructure.
Unable to control the fire the crew of 17 was rescued by AMVER participating container ship Donau Trader, and as of 17, July the Hansa Brandenburg was adrift in the Indian Ocean still ablaze.
The 1740 teu capacity geared container ship was on passage from Singapore to Durban at the time of the accident.

Former School Board
member going to jail
A former Streetsboro Board of Education member who injured a passenger in another car during an alcohol-related traffic crash in September 2012 was sentenced recently to one year in prison, fined more than $600 and had her driver's license suspended for five years at her sentencing hearing in Portage County Common Pleas Court.
A lack of a prior criminal record, taking full responsibility for her actions and an outpouring of community support worked in favor of Cynthia Pennock-Hanish, according to Judge Laurie Pittman.
She said it was in Pennock-Hanish's favor that the court received "more favorable letters, calls and emails about you than any other defendant I've ever had," from former students, colleagues, attorneys and community members.
Pennock-Hanish pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular assault, a third-degree felony, on June 21, 2013, and resigned the School Board seat she had held since 1996 on the same day.
She was cited by Streetsboro police after a two-car crash on Route 43 on Sept. 7, 2012, during which her vehicle collided with a minivan carrying a family of five from Mantua. One of the passengers suffered a broken collarbone.

Portage is 'moderate'
in Utica shale impact
Shale oil drilling is focusing on eight counties in eastern Ohio, and those areas are seeing some big gains in sales tax receipts.
But those same counties aren't seeing substantial increases in their wor force levels yet, as the industry awaits further exploration and infrastructure to accommodate oil and gas produced via horizontal hydraulic fracturing.
Those are some of the conclusions reached in the latest "Ohio Utica Shale Gas Monitor," a new study released by the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State U.
"We're still another year, 18 months out" from bigger economic impacts, said Ned Hill, dean of the college and one of the authors.
The report identifies the following eight counties as "strong" in terms of shale activity: Columbiana, Carroll, Jefferson, Harrison, Guernsey, Belmont, Noble and Monroe.
Portage is one of five counties listed as "moderate."

Esposito warns about
land tax appeal firms
A Strongsville firm is promising it can save Portage
landowners money on their
taxes. But county Auditor Janet Esposito said Tax Compliance Services is promising something it can't deliver.
"No one can offer a 'guarantee' of a value reduction. Each case is considered on its merits and documentation presented," Esposito said.
Esposito said property owners should be wary of companies offering to assist with tax valuation appeals. Property owners can check their tax values online or at the auditor's office for free.
Esposito said property owners who believe their property values are inaccurate can file a complaint for free with the county Board of Revision by March 31.
Forms and instructions are available at the auditor's office in the Portage County Administration Building, 449 S. Meridian St., Ravenna. They are also available at www.co.portage.oh.us/auditor.htm.

Man indicted in death
of Windham nephew
A Windham Township man accused of shooting his nephew to death inside the mobile home they shared on Christmas Day has been indicted by a Portage County grand jury on three felony charges.
Joseph E. Thornton, 48, was indicted on one count each of murder with a specification, an unclassified felony, tampering with evidence and obstructing justice, both third-degree felonies.
Thornton pleaded not guilty to the charges and remains in the Portage County Jail on $1 million cash or surety bond after his initial bond was continued during his arraignment in Portage County Common Pleas Court on Jan. 6, according to the Portage County Sheriff's Department.
Thornton allegedly shot and killed Jason R. Canan, 39, in the P & M Estates Mobile Home Park on Route 82, halfway between Garrettsville and Windham, according to sheriff's officials.
