I'd love a dog is my co-pilot bumper sticker (hint, hint). My dog goes everywhere with me. But my biggest problem is coming up with a really satisfactory seatbelt. He's big and often gets twisted up or seems uncomfortable. Also, they are usually a real pain to put off and on--which makes me delinquent in their use. I don't want to crate him in the car because I need space for stuff in the back. Anyone out their figure out a great harness system for a big boy?

Hi Sara! I have two large dogs (50 & 60 lbs) and I swear by Bamboo's Quick Control seat belt. You can find them on Amazon. I keep it hooked into the back seat latch, then clip it onto the dogs harnesses when it's time for a car ride.

Great question! I work at a shelter where we received a pile of excellent leash/seat belts as a donation - they are very similar to the Bamboo product (http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Quick-Control-6-Foot-Orange/dp/B000F9PY3E) mentioned by Marie. I have used these plenty, and with a stationary dog, they work very well and can stay in the car to make use easy (Always use with a harness and not a collar!). However, with spinners/pacers/frantic window gazers (we all know one), they still get twisted. Another product I saw, which I have yet to find, is a strap that runs across the ceiling, installing on the handles above each door and cinching tight. A leash on a clip then attaches to that, and voila ... a dog-run styled leash set up. I saw this in use once, and no matter how the dog paced, it did not get tangled. I'm sure there are drawbacks to this style as well, but it looked like an inovative approach that bore further investigation. Best of luck on your hunt!

I have two questions for Beth but I have to work this afternoon--so I hope she'll answer when she gets here. What happened to your old seeing eye dog? Do you miss him?
Oh, I miss Hanni terribly. She is 11 years old and is living with friends about 150 miles away. The Seeing Eye gives us three options when it comes time to retire our dogs -- we can keep them as companion animals, we can bring them back to the Seeing Eye and the school will find a good home for them, or we can find friends who want to adopt them. I know myself well enough that if I'd kept Hanni as a companion animal I would have a harder time bonding with my new Seeing Eye dog, and bonding is *extremely* important in the first months/year at home with the new dog. I have gone with Harper, my new dog, to visit Hanni once -- such an interesting trip. Harper had to stay in his harnesss the whole time, and hanni was oh so curious about him wearing that thing. My guess is that once she didn't have to wear it anymore, she didn't think any other dogs would ever wear one, either!.

I wonder if it's hard for Hanni to see you with another seeing eye dog.
She seemed non-plussed. Well, I take that back. She was very curious about Harper and very sweet to him, lying on the floor in front of him and actually giving him kisses. But she didn't seem to miss her work life at all, she's a happy retiree. These days she takes long walks with her new human companions, she sniffs at whatever she pleases during walks and allows herself to be distracted, she lies on the couch when she wants to (not allowed when she was a working Seeing Eye dog) and has already gained weight thanks to all the all the visitors who have over-endulged her when stopping by to admire her and welcome her to her new home.

It's great the dog-fighting game was pulled but why is there no effective outcry when PEOPLE are tortured and killed in games? I sometimes think people care more about dogs than their fellow human.
I'm no psychologist, but I think it is because some PEOPLE get off on seeing other PEOPLE tortured or in distress who also get off on it. Games or real life, it is sick, from my point of view, but I guess their rights are protected. Animals are innocent and do not like cruelty or torture visited upon them; therefore, I think people rally because it becomes a more clear-cut issue that we need to protect them.
"who also get off on it."
Actually, I meant to say MAY also get off on it. Did not mean to imply that there are no human victims. Clearly there are. But hard to make the argument with consenting adults no matter how depraved it may seem to the rest of us.
Submitted by Cally Florence | April 27 2011 | Permalink
I think a lot of the people involved in dog fighting aren't necessarily insane, abused or enjoy torturing animals. In a lot of groups and gangs, dog fighting is part of the normal "culture". These people don't see dogs as pets as you and me do.
It's unfortunate, sad, and I think more needs to be done in cities to deal with this problem. BSL clearly does not work!

Submitted by Erica | April 27 2011 | Permalink
It's not necessarily about caring for one species more than the other, animal lovers just happen to be more vocal and effective in their solidarity for a cause. The cause of keeping games where torture and war is depicted on humans is so fragmented that not much can ever get done. And ultimately it all comes down to working together to achieve the common goal.

I too have a question for Beth. I would love to know what she thinks of the newly revised ADA rules. Will this help her, and others like her? I know of many people who have "tweaked" the rules in the past, passing off their dogs as guide dogs, and they never seem to think this harms anyone. I would like to know what Beth feels about this.
Submitted by Elizabeth Hoffman | April 27 2011 | Permalink
I would love to hear your input on the new ADA laws as well.
A little history here for readers who are unaware of the new ADA guidelines – last March some ADA revisions went into affect. They were drawn up after some disability advocates asked the Department of Justice to crack down on people who were faking or exaggerating disabilities in order to get their companion animals into places of public accommodation. The changes mean that a service animal is defined as "any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability."
Notice the specific word dog in that sentence. Aside from one provision for miniature horses, other species of animals (whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained) are no longer deemed service animals.
It really does make it harder for the rest of us when an animal or his handler's poor behavior causes people to think badly about service animals. I've heard stories about helper parrots pecking at shoppers in stores, a therapeutic rat that quelled anxiety in his owner but caused anxiety to others, and comfort pigs going crazy on airplanes. In my own life, however, the only negative service animal stories that have affected me personally have been about dogs.
The last time I went to a Cubs game, I was stopped while trying to get into Wrigley Field with my Seeing Eye dog. The man taking tickets said he didn't know if the dog was allowed. I pointed to the harness, told him she was a Seeing Eye dog. He was skeptical.
Turns out that a week earlier someone had brought a puppy to Wrigley, claiming the dog was a service dog. The dog misbehaved, and fans sitting nearby complained. After that, the people working the gates were told to scrutinize anyone coming in with a service dog.
In addition to being despicable, faking a disability to gain privilege is fraud. It also results in increased scrutiny of people with legitimate disabilities. I've had this happen to me at Crate and Barrel on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. At a jazz club in the Loop. At a sandwich shop in our neighborhood. I was stopped at the door at each place. At the first two, the doorman checked with a supervisor before letting me through with my Seeing Eye dog. At Jimmy John's, they just kicked us out. We haven't been back.
As the very first school in the U.S. to train guide dogs for the blind, the Seeing Eye has worked for nearly a century to give guide dog's public access. I didn't really have a problem with having this access extended to qualified service animals of any type—helper pigs, parrots, monkeys, you name it, as long as they were qualified.
I wish the powers that be could have somehow revised the law to regulate the behavior of the animal rather than its species. And as long as we're cracking down, why not start with the species that is most at fault here: humans.

I think bark should post an article (or re-run an article) about signs of heatstroke and things that can be done to prevent/stop it. It's over 80 today and my dog came back from playing ball with the dog walkeroverheated. If you have a dog like I do who wont limit herself it could be very important info.
I am confused as to how this "real time chat" works? If I click on the "Open Thread" link on the website all I get is a blank page that says "Welcome to Bark's open thread" at the top and then a big blank space...

Beth, I'm not blind but I know several people that will be due to degenerative diseases of the eye. How hard was it to learn to trust your dog? I've worked as a care aide and done sensitivity training as if I were blind and it is hard to trust a human, that's why I'm asking. How long did it take you to really put yourself in her paws?
With my very first Seeing Eye dog I think it took me about a year to trust her. The second dog it only took me three months. I have been with Harper, my third dog, for four months now and find I don't trust him *completely* yet, but I think that's b/c I am living in a very busy city now -- Chicago -- and traffic is more difficult here. So actually, I guess I *do* trust Harper, just don't trust the traffic!
I'd be interested to hear some more about your challenges in living in Chicago with a guide dog, as I live in Chicago and have a BIL with a guide dog.
Can't wait to read all the great dog spots you've chosen for Chicago dogs!
As for our own experience in Chicago, it's been an adventure from the very day Harper came home with me last December. Bounding down the sidewalk on our very first walk around the block, Harper stopped suddenly. I did the same. A milli-second later I heard the "beep, beep, beep" of a truck backing into an alley. Harper saw it coming before I heard what was happening. "Good boy, Harper! Good boy!"

Hi Beth--
Have you seen these programs at work? Do you believe that they DO work in rehabilitating people and providing a valued service to a disabled person?
I have not had the privilege of seeing one of these programs firsthand, but I have heard many stories from sources I trust about how wonderful they are. I do believe that they DO work in rehabilitating people while providing a valued service to a person like me who has a disability.
Beth, I don't know if this is your area of expertise or not but I was trying to figure out if the ADA covers private (vacation) rentals or not and also what the "etiquette" would be in this type of situation when dealing with a homeowner renting a vacation property..
I have run across this problem before -- we used to rent a house on the ocean in North Carolina in the summers. My memory is faulty, but I *think* I recall that the beach houses had to abide by ADA guidelines, they had to allow me to have my guide dog with me and couldn't charge extra. They also could not require me to show "papers." But let me do a little research on that to confirm and get back to you, it's been a while since we rented a beach house...
Okay, had some time to think it through and get some links together. Please remember, though –I'm not a lawyer! From what Ihave researched, however,if an entity rents this residence out to the public itt is required to follow the same laws as other businesses, especially when it comes to ADA. **The ADA prohibits discrimination based on disability and allows individuals with certain types of disabilities the use of a service dog (or miniature horse) at all times.** The FHA specifies that service animals must be allowed in housing, as long as the animal is trained to perform a specific function and the individual is considered to be disabled under the FHA's definition. In general, landlords must allow service dogs anywhere they allow the tenant with a disability who uses the service dog. A landlord cannot turn away a potential tenant based on the fact that s/he uses a servicedog.
Oh, forgot to add a link. I would start here...http://www.ada.gov/qasrvc.htm
It is my understanding that the owner of the rental is violating ADA regulations by requiring the person who uses the service dog to pay a special fee or show i.d. papers. The link I provided references a question similar to the one you've asked here. Happy vacation!

One thing I'd like to get out there is that service dogs now come in all shapes and sizes, and their abilities stray (pun intended) past just providing service as seeing eye dogs.
My wife is bipolar, and our 3-year-old chihuahua is a psychiatric service dog for her. She provides a focus and helps to lift my wife's mood.
Unfortunately, we've dealt with a lot of skepticism and even discrimination when out in public with the dog, since people are not educated about what dogs (of all sizes) can do now in the human/service dog relationship.
Submitted by Deb | April 27 2011 | Permalink
"She provides a focus and helps to lift my wife's mood."
As you describe it, your wife's dog would be considered an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) and not a Service Animal. The updated ADA makes it very clear that ESAs do not have public access rights.

Beth, as a fellow assistance dog partner I'd love for you to share your experiences with folks distracting your working guides. Have you had any mishaps due to people trying to pet, baby talk or otherwise distract your dog?
Knock on wood I have never had a mishap due to distractions from people, but that is due to luck. There are countless times the distractions have caused my guide to veer the wrong way and put us near, but we haven't been hurt do to distractions like that. Not yet, anyway. Like I said, I've been lucky. How about you? Have you suffered a mishap?

Hi Beth, I train service dogs for individuals w/physical disabilities. Right now we are working w/six new teams of dogs and their human partners. What advice might you have on the bonding process for new teams, particularily those who live w/other family members? Thanks!
When it comes to the bonding process, I'd suggest you encourage the person with the disability to do each and every dog-related task s/he is capable of. Family members might think they are being kind when they offer to help take care of the dog, but the person with the disability should be encouraged (and even pushed, if necessary!) to do whatever tasks they are capable of doing with/for their dog. Even if they don't do it gracefully, or it takes a longer time than having someone else do it for them, it is *very* important that the person with the disability do as much of the dog care as possible.
Hey Beth I just noticed in your blog that you volunteer with Sit Stay Read. My last dog (Ginger the Golden Retriever) and I volunteered with them too.
Submitted by Beth Finke | April 28 2011 | Permalink
We love volunteering for Sit Stay Read and happy to share a story. One time we visited Hendricks Elementary, the school is located near White Sox park. My children's book "Hanni and Beth: Safe & Sound" has an illustration of my Seeing Eye dog and me watching a ballgame, and the kids had all sorts of questions about that. "What if you got hit by a ball?" I told them we try to sit under netting. "What if there's a hole in the net?" I told them my husband Mike can see, and he usually comes with us to ballgames, so he warns me if a ball is coming. "What if he is going to get hot dogs so he isn't there and the ball comes?" The ballgame questions went on and on. And it was really, really fun.

Does Beth have an opinion on using rescue dogs as service animals? Just curious what her opinion is on adopting vs acquiring from a breeder?

The man suspected of driving the getaway car in a botched robbery where a New York City police officer died has been cleared of all charges.
A jury acquitted Michael Velez of burglary and murder Wednesday in the death of Police Officer Peter Figoski, who was killed December 12, 2011, by a single shot to the head.
Prosecutors said Velez and four others plotted the robbery the night before, and were interrupted by officers.
Velez testified in his own defense and said he thought he was just giving the men a ride.
The verdict dumbfounded the police department as well as the union that represents uniformed officers.
"When juries fail to comprehend the monstrous scale of a police officer's murder, they fail society itself. God help us if other gunmen and their getaway drivers take comfort in these verdicts because when a police officer is murdered society at-large is struck a mortal blow," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said in a statement. "It's shameful that the family of Peter Figoski must be crushed again by another incomprehensible verdict."
The union echoed that sentiment.
"This jury did not exhibit an ounce of the courage that Peter Figoski showed time and time again during his life as a police officer. This is a devastating verdict for all police officers and for the Figoski family," PBA president Patrick Lynch said. "We are deeply disappointed that the jury completely disregarded the role that the defendant played in the death of a brave police officer. While Peter's tragic death brought our city together, today, this jury let the entire city down."
Gunman Lamont Pride was convicted of murder earlier this week but was acquitted of a more serious murder charge that he intentionally killed the officer. He faces 25 to life in prison when he is sentenced Feb. 28.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Courtney13 Reliable, comfortable workout capris I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to workout bottoms, but the ONE thing I won't budge on is a comfortable waistband. These capris have a nice, wide waistband that doesn't wind up digging in to your sides or make you look like you have extra muffin-tops (at least with me it didn't!). They're soft, comfortable, easy to move in. 1/30/13
Rated 4 out of 5Â by JL2726 These pants are extremely comfortable and I love the way the wide waistband didn't dig into my sides. The material is nice and soft, too! 2/2/13
Rated 4 out of 5Â by AMPed Soft and comfortable Great yoga pants - very soft and comfortable! Wicking material, too. 1/30/13
Rated 1 out of 5Â by BosssLJ See through! I was so excited to get these orange pants(My fav. color!), however when I received them I was very disappointed. I expected more of a polyester fabric, but these were more cotton. This is not my main complaint, though. These pants are completely see-through! I could read the tag through the butt of these pants. Unfortunately, I will be sending these back. 11/2/13
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Jsquared See-Through! I ordered the candy pink tights. The color was fantastic however these pants weren't practical at all. No one wants to show the gym their backside. Like a previous reviewer stated you could read the tag through the pants! I already own a couple pairs of other reebok capris (pwr capris) and do not have this problem. These were returned. 11/5/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by PeaCee76 Great fit, allows for movement and great value At three months post partum I bought these capris a size up from normal, but it fits perfectly now. Such smooth and soft material which allows for great movement for yoga/ Pilates! Would highly recommend especially considering the price from such a well-known brand! 6/18/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Luluslist Great basic I picked these up at the IDEAFit conference in August 2013 and had to buy 2 more pairs. They are very flattering, super soft and make a great basic for me since I am an instructor and I always wear black when I teach. 11/19/13

I highly recommend Good Old Dogs. Not only does it give information about the physical health of seniors, it opened my eyes to their mental health and how to keep them mentally active. After reading this book, I started doing things differntly with my 13 year old collie mix so that I kept his mind active and his world interesting. Even if you have a young dog now, get this book for his/her later years. Jane
I enjoyed Jennifer Arnold's Through a Dog's Eyes about training assistance dogs.

I loved the "The Lost Dogs" by Jim Gorant, and highly recommend it. While it had it's moments when I had to put it down and go play with our three rescues, the amount of work to prove the case against Vick and the rehab of the dogs is truly amazing--I am now a fan of Bad Rap organization and the others who made this happen.

Another comment about recommended books: I just finished Scent of the Missing and WOW. She's a good writer and gave so much information about what it means to train for search and rescue. Things I had NO idea about and yet when I thought about it, of course the training would be rigorous and extensive. I have a new found respect and awe for all the people and dogs who participate in any aspect of search and rescue. Also just read You Had Me at Woof. Another good writer who gave me much more insight about rescuing and fostering dogs. I'm glad I read both of these books and think they would be great gifts.

As President Barack Obama gears up to re-take the oath of office in Washington, three hundred singers are fine tuning their harmonies in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir founder Carol Cymbala led the group as it practiced its own gospel rendition to the classic "The Battle Hymn of the Republic."
The choir will be performing the fresh tune before an estimated half a million people at Monday's inauguration.
"We didn't veer away too much from the original but but it's different," Cymbala said.
Long before the presidential election was even decided, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer approached the choir and asked them to lend their voices to the 57th Inauguration.
"To be able to step outside of our community and go and be in a national or really an international stage is something that's really very exciting," said singer Ester Colon, who has been with the choir for 36 years.
The group has a long legacy: six Grammy Awards, seven Dove Awards, and more than four million albums sold.
They've performed on many big stages like Radio City Music Hall and Madison Square Garden. But nothing compares to singing for the commander in chief.
This is the only the seventh time in U.S. history the constitutionally mandated inauguration date has fallen on a Sunday. And while the choir is well accustomed to giving praise on the Sabbath, the singers say that singing on the National Mall on a Monday will do just fine.
"We're really praying that we won't be seen so much as the message of the songs that we sing that day will be heard," Colon said.

Danny Hossler and Enrico Perez were all smiles as they walked out of the Pokagon Tribal Courthouse in Dowagiac, Michigan Thursday to a shower of blue rose petals. Hossler said they were the first gay couple to be married via the Tribal Court.
The couple was very excited the moment had come. "I'm high off the world right now. It's amazing," Perez said. Hossler said, "It means the world to me. That's us right there, that's our life together."
Being part of a same sex couple, Hossler and Perez say they weren't sure this day would ever come.
On March 9th the Pokagon Band Tribal Council voted to pass a marriage code that allows same sex marriage. According to the Tribal Court, in the enacted code, "marriage is defined as a civil contract between two persons, regardless of their sex, creating a union excluding all others."
Hossler and Perez said as soon as they found out they could legally wed they started making plans. Hossler is a member of the Pokagon Band.
Gay marriage is still not legal in the state of Michigan. In fact, it's only legal in twelve states, Washington D.C. and among a few Native American tribes, which now includes the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians.
The couple met at a birthday party three years ago and began dating. Hossler proposed to Perez February 14th, before the new marriage code was passed by the Pokagon Band Tribal Council.
Now that the two are officially married Hossler said he will be changing his last name to Perez.
The two are very excited to finally be married. But Hossler said while he's happy, he's also sad because not all of his friends can legally get married yet. The couple said they hope soon everyone will be able to marry legally.
Tabitha Heft, a member of the wedding party said, "This is a choice that everyone should be willing and able to make."

Your Rating Product ValueBull 100 All Natural 6 inch Thick Bully Sticks
The product is great- my dog loves the bully sticks, however I have a problem with the size description. I ordered 100 and it came shipped in 2 bags of 50 which is fine. Bag # 1 was perfect- thick as I would expect. Bag # 2 is problematic- there are hardly any thick ones in there- the whole bag is of regular or medium size. I get that there will always be some variation in size, but this is ridiculous. Didn't get value out of this order. (Posted on 5/9/14)

- Outstanding Review by Akela's Mom
Your Rating Product ValueBull 50 All Natural 6 inch Thick Bully Sticks
Tried Bully Sticks for the first time this week, based on all the positive reviews. Outstanding product. My 65-lb Boxer mix really needs a good chew fix once a day, and I was getting tired of buying small, expensive packages of rawhides. What a waste of packaging! This 50-stick bag hit the bulls-eye. Akela loved his first stick, and it lasted twice as long as his regular rawhide. Feels good to know they're all natural, and the shipping was really speedy. Highly recommended. (Posted on 2/15/14)

For decades now, spotlit celebrities handed the honor of hosting the Academy Awards have worked their hardest to deliver the perfect ceremony, each with different formulas for what they consider to be a winning gig. Billy Crystal opts for smiling schmaltz and Pete Rose jokes; Hugh Jackman dazzles with lavish showstopping numbers; James Franco squints and grits his jaw. And this year's Oscars host, Seth MacFarlane, has given us a taste of his take on how to host properly with five new promos for the upcoming event, set to air Feb. 24.
In these brief clips, MacFarlane covers all the basics: alcohol, his own shortcomings, abrasive Twitter followers, and perennial awards frontrunner Daniel Day-Lewis. Check out the videos below, and read the list of this year's nominees here.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Leaders with the Spokane Sports Commission have proposed a new start-of-the-art sports complex. The Commission estimated that a $20-25 million building could attract bigger tournaments and sporting events to Spokane County.
Commission leaders calculated that sporting events brought $71 million into the local economy in 2012. They estimated that those events filled more than 60,000 hotel rooms and brought 135,000 participants to the Spokane area.
Sports Commission leaders used those figures and the results of a 2012 study to create plans for a new sporting venue.
Early plans call for a 127,000 square foot field house. Commissioners released details of the plans in early February. The plans include an indoor track and ice arena.
Leaders proposed two possible locations for the new sporting complex. Commission leaders confirmed that an area north of Riverfront Park is one of the options. They said the other possible location for the field house could be near the YMCA in Spokane Valley.
The project would have to be funded and approved by voters. A report will be released in March detailing the field house plans. Sports Commission leaders said that they hope to break ground in 2014.

Gold Has Bottomed, The Next Price Target is $3,600
Gold has just finished a 2-year correction and consolidation, after finding support near the all-in cost of production. Our analysis suggests that the next wave higher will bring the gold price to a minimum of $3,600 by the end of 2016.
If you think our price targets are bullish, consider that John Williams of Shadowstats.com forecasts that gold needs to climb to nearly $9,000 and silver to over $500 per ounce to match the inflation-adjusted highs attained during 1980!
The U.S. dollar and other fiat currencies are rapidly declining in value as the Federal Reserve, ECB and Western governments are printing and borrowing with reckless abandon. This race to debase is creating ripe conditions for inflation and the potential for hyper-inflation in the coming years. Adding fuel to the fire, Russia, China and countries around the world are starting to bypass the dollar in international trade. Indeed, it appears the days of the dollar as world reserve currency are numbered!
Profit from Leveraged Returns in Undervalued Mining Stocks…
While gold and silver will be excellent investments and we advocate holding some physical in your possession, the biggest opportunity for gains is with mining stocks. The best in breed companies are now more undervalued than at any point since the start of the bull market or depths of the financial crisis. Sentiment has been extremely bearish, which is precisely when large upside moves historically tend to occur. The following chart shows the gold stocks index (HUI) vs gold, depicting just how undervalued mining stocks have become.
Meet the Editor, Jason Hamlin…
My name is Jason Hamlin I spent nearly a decade in analytics for the world's largest research firm. I quit the corporate world shortly after the bull market in precious metals got underway and was successful as a private investor and helping family members turn around their portfolios. I decided to turn my focus from helping fortune 500 companies to helping everyday investors that were struggling to achieve strong gains in the stock market. It was the best decision that I have ever made and I have never looked back.
My investment philosophy that takes into account political, historical and socio-economic factors to determine macroeconomic trends and isolate the sectors that stand to gain the most. I then apply fundamental and technical analysis, as well as proprietary models, to find the companies within these sectors that will outperform their peers.
Core Investment Principles
At present, the following beliefs are at the center of our investment philosophy and drive our investment strategy:
1) High inflation and devaluation of the U.S. dollar are nearly inevitable.
2) Political instability and growing distrust of fiat currency will favor gold.
3) The stock market rally is artificially-induced and is therefore unsustainable.
4) Gold and silver are real money and will return to having a larger role in global finance.
5) Precious metals are significantly undervalued and the gold bull market is far from over.
6) It is wise to hold a portion of your wealth in physical bullion within your possession.
7) Mining stocks are oversold and will return to offering leveraged gains.
Lastly, I believe in the companies that I write about and never accept payment to pump a particular stock, eliminating any conflict of interest.

Much of my research is published for free on this site, so make sure to subscribe to our FREE email alerts below. When we spot investment opportunities or there is breaking news you need to know about in the precious metals sector, you will get a detailed message direct to your inbox.

text: Attorney Robert Muise with the American Freedom Law Center represents four men accused of disturbing the peace at Dearborn's Arab International Festival back in June of 2010.First the Christian missionaries were acquitted, and now after suing the city, they just reached a settlement. Dearborn must pay up and then post a public apology on its website for the next three years."They caused harm to these individuals, and we didn't want it to persist," Muise said.Video taken from that day shows the group Acts 17 Apologetics preaching to a crowd of Muslims working to convert them to Christianity. Dearborn police felt it was a breach of peace and arrested the four men, hauling them off in handcuffs. Muise calls it a violation of their constitutional rights."Christians have a fundamental constitutional right to engage in religious speech on the public sidewalks surrounding the Arab festival, and that's what, in fact, they were doing," Muise said.Under the terms of the settlement, the city also has to take down a press release and letter from its website where the mayor criticizes the Christian missionaries for their attack on Dearborn, which he says has a tolerance for all religions.This lawsuit is part of ongoing tensions between Christian groups and local Muslims that have taken place in the middle of this Arab festival for years.Due to all the issues in the past, organizers say they are very close to finalizing the deal that will allow them to move the Arab International Festival to Ford Woods Park in Dearborn so admission can be controlled."They can have a private festival, but with the city streets and the public sidewalks, we have a First Amendment right. Those are considered traditional public forums, and that's where your right to freedom of speech is most protected," Muise said."If the Muslims want to be on the public sidewalks evangelizing, they certainly have a right to do that, as well."Fay Beydoun, the head of the chamber who organizes the festival, said she couldn't comment because they are still settling their portion of the lawsuit.I also reached out to the police chief and many leaders in the Arab-American community for comment, but have not yet heard back.

It may be cold in Los Angeles, but at least we don't have to deal with the snowy traffic you see in this video. This video is getting a lot of attention on many newscasts around the country and is starting to go viral, and we thought we'd share with you as well.
The Department of Transportation cameras captured 5 minutes of raw footage on Highway 41/45 in Germantown, Wisconsin. At least 50 cars were involved in this massive pile-up, eventually shutting down the highway. There were no casualties, but many people escaped major injury after getting out of their cars while the pile up continued.

The governor gave the green light this week for movie making in Michigan again. Act 2 you could call it, scene 1. The movie credits used to be $100-million. Now it's an incentive worth $50-million.This second go around of filming in our state has some big names on the horizon. In fact, an application is being reviewed for a Las Vegas-style movie with Morgan Freeman playing an old friend to a character played by Michael Douglas and another Robert De Niro. The casinos here would make for quite a backdrop, and that's just one of at least four films ready or considering Michigan for movies.However, it's not just feature films being shot here in Michigan that's so exciting. What about old films being brought back to life like Charlie Chaplin. It's happening in Southfield at Kinetic Post, and they're banking on incentive dollars.Chaplin and other early 1900 movies are being restored right here in Southeast Michigan."I truly have the greatest job in the world. I'm able to work with classic films, meet classic actors. It is truly the greatest job ever," said Paul Gierucki.He has helped bring movie magic from the twenties back to life. The Farmington Hills native is hoping Kinetic gets a piece of the $50-million pie."Let's hope. We'd like to move the production here full time and do everything, use Michigan artists, Michigan talent and produce here. We can do everything here that could be done in L.A., all of it done right here in Michigan," Gierucki said.Twisters take center stage in a movie being filmed here called "Category 6". It is being shot at the Raleigh Studios sound stage. Then there's "Gametime", a movie that got the green light showing what happens behind the scenes of NCAA basketball. Delvon Roe and Danny Glover star in that brought to you by producer Jeff Spilman.From the foundations of movie making to some of the biggest stars, Detroit will be filed with production trucks filming movies coming to a theater near you.Spilman is also working with Kinetic Post to bring incentives to restore those classics. It's a big job with big money that can be made."A hundred films in a hundred years, restore them and then get them out there for distribution both on the Turner network ... as well as available for purchase for folks through iTunes and venues like that," Spilman said.Both "Category 6" and "Gametime" will be rolling out their cameras throughout metro Detroit later this summer.

It went well! She actually told me she disagreed with some of the things her partner said. And, she remembered me from my ER days which I didn't expect since it was a while ago. Her answers to my questions were good but vague, of course. She also agreed with me that I would be more likely on the chronic/underlying htn side of things with my family history and the PIH that never ammounted to anything after so long.
Anyone have a heart murmur out of curiousity? She thinks I should get an echocardiogram to see what kind of murmur it is since I've been on meds every time I go to the dentist, etc since I was little and it's never actually been checked.
Oh, and instead of getting another "don't gain weight" lecture like the other dr was giving me even though I'd lost, this doctor was concerned about it and said that if I continue to lose at my next apt they will make me come every 2 weeks for a weight check and see a nutritionalist...lol A bit of a threat, but all in good humor. I think my m/s is getting slowly better. I seem to be able to eat more of a variety of foods now, though still nauseated and without much of an appetite.
I get my level 2 u/s in about 2 weeks. I have the orders I just have to call and set up my apt. YIPEE! I hit the 16 week mark tomorrow! Just thought I'd give you all my little update. And she was a bit shocked that I am slowly reading through CHesley's! LOL I should offer to lend it to the other dr! LOL [}:)]
Have a great day ladies!

Kelly & Natalie- check out this website. I pretty much love everything they post on their blog and am so excited to try one or more of these if and when we can buy a new house.
Just wanted to share this, I just found it online, looked pretty cool for you girls that have a 'fuzzy' head in the morning. Even has its own alarm clock
Cait[24] & Gene-Paul[28] Dx with PCOS & Left Tube Blocked Dec. '12
Sean Patrick born 3/11/14, 7lbs 13oz
I love the memory function on mine. This morning, I woke up an hour early with my son and had to decide whether to temp then(couldn't if I needed to talk to him and tell him to go back to sleep!) or do it after an hour of broken sleep! Oh, the decisions....
Yay Rach! Let's get busy
Ok so...weird thing happened. I temped at my normal time at it was 98.0---um, what? But the termometer cycle was very short (it beeped super early) and that number just didn't sit right with me. So I logged it, like a good little data gatherer, and went back to sleep. Then when I woke up for the day I temped again, b/c let's face it...98.0 ain't gonna cut it with me today...and it was back up to 98.6. Whew.
I changed the temp, but I still feel a little werid about it. I can't will my body to raise it's temp 0.6 degrees in less than two hours, right? Right?!
Jen...those stencils are amazing!!!! They're gorgeous!
Cait...LOL, that bbt is a *beast*...I want one !!!
Rachel...WOOOHOOOOO!! Soooo excited for you to get started again too! I love the opk digis to confirm...used them for the first time this cycle and wish I would have had them last cycle too!!
Cindy...how are things going? Are you officially in the 2ww??
Natalie...I temped this morning at 4am (lol, I look at the clock *after* because I don't want to move to see it :laugh) and my temp was only 98.17 but when I woke up at my regular temp time it was 98.51 so I recorded the latter . If I temp prior to 6ish I get a much lower temp than when I take it at my usual time (6:30-7:30am).
http://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/...ncy-test116734 ...I couldn't get a good pic (poor lighting and holding a wiggly toddler, lol, and I was shaking like a leaf, ha, still am ) but there is a definite *pink line* IRL...I feel fairly confident in saying !!!! ...Christmas baby!!
Going to use my digi on Friday to confirm and I'll announce in the April Testers forum then too if everything still looks good (feels forever away LOL). I have wondfos to use in the meantime...gaaaaah, I am so excited and scared and happy and scared and hopeful and scared !
I'm going to tell DH this weekend after I use the digi
Need all the I can get ladies!!!
I want to see looooooots of s so we can all stay together !
Rach - I used the clinical guard OPKs this cycle. If you look a few pages back, they're the blue skinnier tests. I used 2 this cycle because I wanted to confirm since I wasn't sure about the clinical guard. However, after using them they're very easy to see an obvious positive. Good luck! It sounds like you're ready!! Woohoo!!!
Natalie - Now that you mentioned it, looking back at my chart, my highest temps are the days that my DH's alarm doesn't go off. Every morning he works, his goes off at 600 am, and I temp because it wakes me up. Mine doesn't go off until 630. On Fridays & Sundays, the only days he doesn't work, my temps seem to be higher. Weird, I guess that little bit of time can make a difference, so I'm sure a few hours definitely could!! your chart looks SO good.. when are you going to test?
As for me, my temp was slightly higher today. I got up at 415am to pee. I should have temped then and compared, but remembering to check the time was about all I could do at that time in the morning. Haha. I wish my thermometer kept the last 2 temps instead of just one. I don't want to have to worry about writing one down before taking the one at my normal time. I think next cycle ( although I'm reallllllly hoping there isn't a next cycle for TTC!!!) I'm going to set my alarm for 4am. That seems to be the time I get up to pee, and I'll have a good solid 4-5 hours of sleep by then. As opposed to hoping I sleep through the night, and then not, and then hoping my temp is right. It's a learning process.
Kelly... I felt like this deserved it's own response....
HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH. I totalllly see it! It's beautiful!!!! I can't believe it! I'm sitting here in tears for you. I keep looking at it! Amazing! I have a great feeling for you! This was just meant to be! You O'd earlier than usual... it was just supposed to happen. There aren't enought emoticons in the world to express what I'm feeling for you right now!!! I'm so happy for you!!!!!
I'm sending you a million trillion gazillion truckloads of stick vibes!!!!
Kelly how exciting!!!! I can't wait to see the result on the digital!!!
Kelly, my opk was neg this morning so I'm officially in the tww. Yay! I'm hoping we dtd enough. We were unable to lastnight . Dh took the night off, but had to go in because they had some stupid man with a gun in the woods. Dh is the supervisor over the K-9's and since the dog got called out, he felt he needed to go. Anyway,we did dtd this morning, so hopefully we got everything covered.--- Also Kelly, I totally see a line on your test. Woohoo !! Keep the pics coming. I wanna watch those lines get darker .
Rachel!! Yay for starting clomid cycle buddy!! I am ready to get this party started too but AF hasn't left town yet...
Part of the reason they were able to possibly diagnose me with pcos is because of "irregular cycles" but since going off bcp in November I have only had one cycle that wasn't 27 - 29 days... So idk about irregular lol.
DH had to gather his sample at home yesterday morning and then take it up to the hospital (about 8 miles up the road). He said there wasn't a lot so now he's nervous. I said babe you can't see them but hopefully there is a million little things in there!! The hospital here is small so they send out the tests so we may not hear until next Monday but I am keeping my fingers crossed we get answers sooner.
Yesterday my BFF (the one whose miscarriage I mentioned last week) went in for a follow up appt and her hcg was still up so they did an ultrasound and it's ectopic they are doing surgery today to remove the baby but hopefully not her tube !
Also sorry the long post but wanted to say to Jen, Sara, Natalie and Kay that I'm crossing my finges you all get BFPs soon!!!
Babypayne - hope your TWW flies by!! And good luck with the ovidrel!!
So I'm so excited for you!!!!
Jen -- welcome to the tww!!!
Rach -- With a thermometer like that, you can't go wrong!
Jessie -- hope they get a good report on the tests!!
Kay -- Your chart is looking good IDK when I will test...I was thinking Friday.
Thanks ladies ...you're seriously the best !!! Kay, you made *me* cry !!!! Can't wait to test again tomorrow! I added a few more pics if anyone wants to see them...just click on the link I posted earlier and click on the little boxes next to "posted by a member" .
Cindy...so excited !! Really praying the 2ww goes by quickly for you !! !!!
Jessie...praying for good results on the SA !! Wow, what a long wait though...boo ...I hope it goes by fast ! Are you ttc or preventing this cycle?
Quite a few ladies we haven't heard from lately...we need some updates!!!!!!
Yay Kelly!!!!! How wonderful!
Kelly- how exciting!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!! Btw- I was surprised to see the temp dip in your chart yesterday- what do you think that was? Implantation? But would the test be pos already? Just curious!!
Jessie-good luck with the SA! My friends hubby did one and was concerned about the amount, but it was not an issue. My hubby called to make an appt for his and they are scheduled out for almost two weeks- he is lucky- he gets to see the results of this cycle before he goes in, lol.
I think my dip yesterday was either implantation or because I had to get out of bed to get my thermo (DH found it in the bed and moved it to his dresser...ack, lol) ! I'm pretty sure it's because of the latter .
I just had some red and then brown spotting...hoping it's baby getting cozy .
Eta...lol, ff gave me Early Pg Signs "points" for it ...too funny!

Beaumont police are investigating a Thursday-morning bank robbery at the BBVA Compass Bank in the 700 block of Calder Avenue.
Beaumont Police Sgt. Rob Flores told 12News the robbery was reported around 9:45 a.m.
The robber is described as a black male in his 20's who was wearing a grey hoodie, grey shirt that was partially covering his face, jeans and white shoes. He pulled out a knife and demanded money before running away.
Officers searched the area around the bank using police dogs. They recovered money that the robber dropped as he fled the bank. The trail of money shows that the robber ran through the parking lot of St. mark's Episcopal Church.

Art History
Art is a profound and persistent human impulse. Art History explores the history of making, viewing and experiencing works of art and architecture. It asks key questions such as what is art for, what does it mean, and how does it function in broader culture? These questions will be part of a dynamic encounter with complex and compelling works of art. You will gain the historical knowledge and analytical skills to make sense of such works across time and space, to relate them to each other and to the specific historical and cultural contexts for which they were created.
You will be trained in the skills of visual and spatial analysis that are fundamental to our discipline - the ability to critically interpret the visual appearance of a given object. As well as the canonical forms of painting, sculpture and architecture, you will encounter a wide spectrum of media and art practice, from body art to video installation, from fresco to pop, from processional ritual to performance art, from early prints to land art. Studying the history of art fosters insight and skills in understanding and interpreting visual communication, expression and innovation that are highly relevant in today's image-saturated world.
Major outline
A major in Art History requires 36 senior credit points from the table of units of study for Art History, including at least 12 credit points of core units at 3000 level, and a maximum of 6 credit points from elective units of study.
Junior units of study (1000 level):
You complete 12 junior credit points in Art History before enrolling in senior units. ARHT1001 Art and Experience introduces the key issues and foundational skills of our discipline, focusing on the history of Western art from classical antiquity to the early modern period. ARHT1002 Modern Times: Art and Film explores modern and contemporary art, including the relationships between 'still art' and the moving image.
Senior units of study (2000 and 3000 level):
Senior-intermediate (2000 level) units of study introduce more complex concepts, and more specific fields within art history and address the diversity and complexity of art and its contexts within a variety of geographies and temporalities. They also make more complex analytical demands of students.
Senior-advanced (3000 level) units deepen your engagement with the complex philosophical and methodological issues facing any scholar or student of Art History, and demand both greater depth of analysis and more focused and longer written tasks.
3000 level units of study will be available from 2015.
Art Workshops/Studio Electives:
Students enrolled in Art History units may also enrol in ONE art workshop/studio unit in their junior year and ONE workshop/studio unit in their senior years. These units are offered on campus at the Tin Sheds, through the Faculty of Architecture (unit of study code beginning with AWSS).
Note that these units do not count towards a major in Art History, but are made specially available to currently enrolled students who are interested.
Graduate opportunities
Sydney Arts and Social Sciences graduates work in government departments at all levels, and major private sector consultancies and corporations, locally and overseas. The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences offers a range of subject areas that prepare graduates for careers in administration, education, business research, marketing, media, management consultancy, public relations, gallery and museum curatorship, hospitality and tourism, community and welfare. Our graduates are proficient in research and inquiry, and demonstrate personal and intellectual autonomy, and ethical, social and professional understanding, qualities sought after by leading employers all over the world.
Further study for major
Eligible candidates may proceed to an Honours year in the Bachelor of Arts, or apply for admission to a rich postgraduate program in the humanities and social sciences, comprising advanced learning and professional courses. Master degrees include capstone projects ranging from internships with government and non-government organisations in Australia and overseas, the gallery and museum sector, and leading media organisations, to opportunities for independent research projects which prepare students for higher degrees by research.

Photographer Tod Seelie is pounding the pavement looking for the perfect shot.
"One thing that inspires me about shooting in New York City is all the layers that exist in this city, you can come here and find pretty much a version of anything if you look hard enough," he said.
Seelie, who originally came to New York City to study sculpture, fell in love with the city's gritty landscape and instead decided to point and shoot. He captures bold, raw New York moments from a crowd surfer at a former bodega in Bushwick to a shot from the top of the Williamsburg Bridge. One photo captured the flames of a burning car.
"I was just cooking dinner in my kitchen and I heard the explosion," he said. "I grabbed my camera and ran outside, it was just down the block, so I was able to get a shot of it before the fire department, or any other on lookers got there."
In addition to catching spontaneous moments, Seelie typically shoots underground parties and performances, capturing the scenes most of us don't get to see. But he doesn't take all of the credit.
"All of the interesting and creative things my friends do people that I'm lucky enough to know--from building junk rafts to setting up guerilla art installations to having performances that take place on the subway," he said. "I really enjoy all of these creative people who are putting their time and energy into something to make the city more interesting."
Besides making the city come alive, Seelie also wants his you to feel like you're a part of the picture.
"I don't digitally manipulate my images more than you do in a typical darkroom," he said. "The authenticity of the image is very important to me but at the same time I want to it seem as crazy and unbelievable as possible within the realm of reality."
Seelie has a show in Bushwick at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. It features his book, "Bright Nights."

My cousin had her baby a couple days ago. My Aunt messaged asking for prayer because the baby is in NICU, but didn't say why. They did post a picture of her older daughter holding her new baby boy, and that he was born 11 lbs 3 oz.
I asked once what is going on, but the response was hurried and just said again that he was in the ICU and he was getting a blood transfusion to help thin out his blood. I didn't want to keep peppering them with questions during such a stressful time, so I just responded with love and encouragement. But I do want to know whats going on.
Anyone know what this sounds like?

Nothing is set in stone just yet, but NBC is reporting that they've green lit a script for a reboot of "Remington Steele" (1982-1987).
This is where my nostalgia kicks in. I loved the original that introduced the world to Pierce Brosnan, so I'm thinking good thoughts.
If all goes as planned, the new series will be a sequel to the original and feature the daughter of Remington and Laura Holt. According to NBC the new half-hour show follows Olivia "as she reopens the once-world-famous Remington Steele Detective Agency -- only to fall into the same hilarious, action-packed, romantic entanglements of her parents."
No word yet if Pierce Brosnan and/or Stephanie Zimbalist would be making any guest appearances, but I HOPE so.

A Georgia Tech sophomore gave an epic convocation speech to incoming freshmen.Nicholas Selby's inspirational message – complete with the theme from "2001: A Space Odyssey" in the background – has gone viral. "In the words of Sir Isaac Newton, 'If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.' Georgia Tech is proud of its many traditions, but the one I find most exciting is our tradition of excellence. Our mission as students is not follow in the footsteps of the astronauts, Nobel Prize laureates and presidents who graduated before us, but to exceed their footsteps, crush the shoulders of the giants upon whom we stand. We, here, are all such innovative people. So, I am telling you if you want to change the world, you're at Georgia Tech. You can do that! If you want to build the 'Iron Man' suit, you are at Georgia Tech. You can do that! If you want to play theme music during your convocation speech like (beep), we're at Georgia Tech. We can do that!

I just took a look at the Hi-Res-pics and I must say that I'm impressed by the details. When you look at the elephant's skin, by example, it's even better than the highest leven of Dreamworks Animation.
It's good to see that the backgrounds, even the trees and above all, the other characters are very 'Seuss'. Glad about that. Nothing wrong with this, BlueSky, nothing wrong with this!
Not sure where they have been published. I haven't seen them on other moviesites yet. But someone from Imdb.com had them in his photobucket.
I guees we soon can expect a new trailer right?
Looking real good....
Thanks for the pics.
When is this coming out, soon I hope!
It's not too far away, only a few months to go..
Looking forward to this one. Graphics look Grrrrrrrrrrrrreat!
haha I love the blue dude! He reminds me of the possoms in Ice Age 2!
"No time outs. Only DEATH!"
"I don't like to brag and I won't cuz I don't have to!"
Yes, the blue character...
looks really neat, great job.

MOSINEE, WI (WTAQ) - It's not as easy as it sounds to convert a paper mill from one major product line to another.
That what officials at Wausau Paper said Thursday, after Governor Scott Walker said the state might have some options to help keep its mills at Mosinee and Rhinelander profitable.
A week ago, Wausau said it would sell both plants, plus one in Brainerd Minnesota. During a visit to nearby Weston, the governor was asked if the state could help Wausau Paper re-tool its food wrapping and specialty paper plants so they could fit in with the company's current strategy of serving the growing market for tissue paper.
Wausau's Perry Grueber said the intent is good, but the two Wisconsin mills could not benefit from what would be an expensive conversion. Grueber said the specialty papers have a growing market as well, and it would not make sense to change them.
Wausau's largest shareholder disagrees, though – and it has accused the company of mismanagement by not doing enough to zero in on the tissue and paper towel markets.
The shareholder, a New York hedge fund, has been squabbling for some time with Wausau's management. But the paper firm defends its business strategy.
Grueber said the three mills were never described as "troubled." He says they're well-positioned to succeed as the economy recovers – but he said Wausau's long-term goal is to focus on away from home tissue products with a greater potential for profit and growth.
So far, there are no potential buyers for the three mills.
