It is the time of year when our church activities can be affected by bad weather. We will plan to have a service at our usual 9:30am time on snowy Sundays. The parking lot should be plowed and we ask those who come to park there and not on the street, if at all possible. We will try to communicate any change of schedule on such Sundays in the following ways:

Welcome to the third annual Devil's Porridge British Horror Revival round-up. This is where I take a canter through all UK horror features which debuted in 2012 - wherever that was and in whatever format. Some of these films played festivals before 2012, and some films which played festivals in 2012 will be released later. But I go by first commercial release. Also I have a fairly conservative definition of 'British' and 'horror', as explained in my book (Urban Terrors: New British Horror Cinema, RRP £17.95 - makes a great gift!). My aim is to illuminate the current state of the UK horror film sector, rather than try and make as long a list as possible by shoehorning in all sorts of borderline stuff.
Two years ago, when I rounded up 2010's output, I listed 32 films. In January 2012, before getting down to listing 41 features released in 2011, I amended the 2010 list by including another 16 movies I had discovered, bring the total to 48. As it stands, my master list currently shows a whopping 59 titles for 2010 and 49 for 2011 but if I try to list the updates we'll be here all night. Instead, let's get down to seeing what came our way in 2012.
The year began with a DVD release for Bordello Death Tales, a terrific anthology of hugely entertaining stories by Pat (HellBride) Higgins, Jim (Bane) Eaves and Al (Jesus vs the Messiah) Ronald. Robin Hardy's long-in-development sequel The Wicker Tree played US cinemas briefly in January but didn't exactly set the world alight. And then there was Eldorado, an all-star 3D comedy-musical-horror-western from Richard (Kannibal) Driscoll which, after numerous typically hollow threats, finally hit DVD (in 2D) in January. And was almost immediately withdrawn, resurfacing again a few months later in a heavily-cut version retitled Highway to Hell.
February was rather dominated by The Woman in Black,which I have already analysed in some detail in a previous blog. There was a theatricalrelease for JK Amalou's two-hander Deviation, in which a woman is carjacked by a psychopath; Danny Dyer proving once again that he can do more than jack-the-lad geezers. Also in Feb, Dan (Experiment) Turner's second feature Stormhouse, scripted by Kerrang staffer-turned-Doctor Who scribbler Jason Arnopp, saw squaddies facing off against a supernatural creature. That was a DVD release while Jason Croot's comedy Le Fear, about a disastrous attempt to make a horror film, was made available online.
The astoundingly prolific Philip Gardiner makes the first of three appearances in this list in March. Filmed as Men in Black: The Dark Watchers (which was never going to fly), Gardiner adroitly circumnavigated copyright laws by retitling his sci-fi/horror feature The Dark Watchers: Women in Black. As with all Gardiner's films, this was released in the States by Chemical Burn Entertainment, who also co-produced. The other British horror released this month was a UK DVD of Chris Crow's rural shocker Devil's Bridge which is described on the IMDb as a 'Heart Of Darkness spree of pointless violence and revenge'.
Dapper producer Jonathan Sothcott released two films to British cinemas in April. The self-descriptive Strippers vs Werewolves was written by Pat Higgins, directed by Jonathan (13hrs) Glendenning and starred Robert Englund, while teen cannibalism exposé lark Elfie Hopkins (originally announced as a 3D production but released flat) was directed by Ryan Andrews, starred Jaime Winstone and featured her dad Ray for good measure. Stefan Smith's Unwelcome, a tale of unwanted guests gone loco starring British horror stalwarts Eleanor James and Marysia Kay, appeared on US disc this month retitled Aggressive Behavior.
Paul TT Easter is one of the new breed of prolific British directors of whom almost nothing is known. The first of his brace of 2012 DVD releases was challenging mockumentary U Mugs, although there seems to be some debate over its horror credentials. 'Jackass meets Blair Witch' says Amazon, unhelpfully. Rising Tide, co-directed by Philip Shotton and Dawn Furness, was another film about townies out of their depth, in this case a group of A-level students on a camping trip to Lindisfarne. A haunting soundtrack by Kathryn Tickell helped this one when it was released online through Vodo in April. Finally this month, Nazi killer-ghost (sort of zombie) sequel Outpost II: Black Sun made its DVD debut (in Germany!) four months ahead of its Frightfest premiere.
Philip Gardiner was back in May with the awesomely titled Lady of the Dark: Genesis of the Serpent Vampire. There was a UK DVD release for Kieron Hawkes's violent revenge thriller Piggy and also for Toni Jopia's rock'n'roll slasher Deadtime, which counted Leslie Grantham and Terry Christian among its cast. Rob Ager is a new name to horror movie fans, unless you've previously bought one of his self-produced DVDs of Rob discussing classic films. His debut feature, self-released on uncertificated DVD through his website, is Turn in Your Grave, about a group of strangers who wake up together and don't know how they got there. With some sort of clown monster, or something.
June brought three theatrical releases, two of which were worth catching. Johannes (F) Roberts teamed up with Noel Clarke for Storage 24, an enjoyably formulaic alien clone set in a self-storage facility. If you wanted something a bit less 'action-packed' and a bit more thoughtful, Oliver Milburn's The Harsh Light of Day was an impressive and original vampire feature with strong performances from Dan Richardson and BHR regular Giles Alderson. On the other hand, if you wanted something pointless that many critics considered the worst film of the year, you could try A Fantastic Fear of Everything, a lacklustre comedy about paranoia starring Simon Pegg, directed by the bloke from Kula Shaker, and watched by no-one. Paul TT Easter returned with Black Shuck, based on the English legend of a demonic hound, while Kevin (Lycanthropy) McDonagh's archaeological/satanic horror Tied in Blood surfaced in the USA. And over here there was a DVD release for David Ryan Keith's impressive-looking Scottish comedy Attack of the Herbals, in which a well-meaning attempt to save the village with 'special tea' turns the locals into hungry zombies. Flashback Nazis in this one too!
After a one-off screening in January, zero-budget supernatural chiller Echoes was released online in July; this was jointly directed by Craig Kendrick, Ivan Meredith and David Wilson. Ryan L Driscoll'sAxed (aka Deadly Departed) hit DVD that month; a dark, disturbing, contemporary tale of a father whose financial problems lead him to consider murdering his family. And Mark Hamill made his British horror debut in Airborne, the next title from Jonathan Sothcott's movie factory, directed by Dominic (Cut) Burns and scripted by Paul Chronnel who is (like me) a former gag-writer for Russ Abbott.
August was a busy month full of familiar names, including Battlefield Death Tales, the second anthology from the Higgins-Eaves-Ronald triumvirate. The UK distributor briefly retitled it Zombie Death Tales before settling on Nazi Zombie Death Tales, cashing in on the current vogue for such things, even though there aren't, strictly speaking, any Nazi zombies in it. Philip Gardiner popped up yet again with a real-time horror, One Hour to Die, and Sean (Lie Still) Hogan saw a theatrical release for his second feature, The Devil's Business, a hit-men/satanism mash-up which had everything the awful Kill List was missing. Like a plot. Director Neil Jones and producer Stuart Brennan brought us The Reverend, an all-star slice of vampire action in which, unexpectedly, the likes of Rutger Hauer, Doug Bradley and Giovanni Lombardo Radice were all outclassed by Shane Richie's turn as a psychotic pimp.Robert Heath's slasher debut Truth or Dare (retitled Truth or Die in the states) had a limited theatrical release in August, as did Alastair Siddons' unjustly ignored, stylish debut In the Dark Half, which was described as combining 'rural mythological horror and kitchen sink, social realism'. Matthias (Beyond the Rave) Hoene and James (Severance) Moran teamed up for the self-explanatory Cockneys vs Zombies. But the year's most important film looks like being Peter Strickland's Berberian Sound Studio - weird goings-on in an Italian 1970s foley studio - which stunned audiences at Frightfest and went on to win four of the seven BIFA categories in which it was nominated.

James Moran was back in September with Tower Block, directed by James Nunn and Ronnie Thompson, in which a sniper terrorises high-rise residents. Pat Holden's based-on-a-true-story poltergeist feature When the Lights Went Out (filmed as Speak No Evil) was also released this month. The countryside proved, as ever, a fertile place for horror with a couple of supernatural rural shockers, Michael Axelgaard's Hollow on US DVD and Richard Parry's found-footage picture A Night in the Woods on UK disc. But as we all know, the biggest threat in any rural location is the locals; after wowing festival audiences, Alex Chandon's uproarious Inbred was finally released, a mere decade after Cradle of Fear. And Keith Wright's age-gap zombie love story Harold's Going Stuff was another festival fave which saw a commercial release in September. A self-released disc of Brummie wunderkind Thomas Lee Rutter's The Forbidden Four rounded off another busy month.
Anybody wanting to see a British vampire feature edited together from webisodes had a choice of viewing in October. Chris Stone's Blood and Bone China was a gothic Victorian tale set (as the title suggests) in Stoke-on-Trent, while Vampires: Brighter in Darkness was a sort of gay, British Twilight. Which, whatever one's orientation, has got to be better than actually watching Twilight. No-one seems to know who Twit Twoo Films are but they've uploaded several feature-length, home-made horror movies to YouTube of which the latest is Blood and Straw: Terror in Crowspass (apparently shot in 2007-08). And for anyone who thought titles like Strippers vs Werewolves and Cockneys vs Zombies were too ambiguous, how about demonic possession found footage cheapie Sex Tape Horror Film? Released online through Distrify, that one.
Speaking of ambiguity, the precise release date of Chemical Burn Entertainment discs can often be difficult to identify but it seems reasonably certain that Chris Lumb's British horror comedy Tuck Bushman and the Legend of Piddledown Dale was released in October. As was Matt Mitchell's hilarious romp Gangsters, Guns and Zombies, which made its debut (for some reason) on French DVD, ahead of its US and UK releases. Craig Griffith's enigmatic psychological ghost story Through the Looking Glass was actually shot a full ten years ago and premiered in 2007 but it was only this year that Griffith got fed up with waiting and released the movie himself. Or if you want something really different, how about Kirk Watson's South of Sanity (released online and on DVD after a premiere at Aviemore): the first Antarctic horror to actually be shot in Antarctica. Take that, The Thing!
November brought us four very different theatrical releases: Andy De Emmony's teenage werewolf comedy Love Bite; Ciaran Foy's agoraphobic hoodie horror Citadel, Ben Wheatley's Natural Born Killers-in-a-caravan comedy Sightseers (written by and starring the actress who played Liz Asher in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace); and James Plumb's Night of the Living Dead: Resurrection- the first ever British entry in that most malleable of public domain franchises. Plus an American DVD of Tim Cowles' Backslasher, an enjoyable little flick starring home grown horror queen Eleanor James and prolific indie auteur Jason Impey.
In the past month, another brace of British horrors have clawed their way out of the grave. Dominic Burns makes his second entry in this list with UFO, his epic horror/sci-fi tale of extraterrestrials invading Derby, notable for a cast that includes not only BHR legend Sean Pertwee (who wrote the foreword to my book - copies are still available..) but also Jean-Claude Van Damme. And finally (for now), an online release for Decay: shot by British physics postgrads, inbetween their PhD projects, in and around the Large Hadron Collider at CERN!
I make that 58 British horror films released in 2012. And who knows how many others we've missed...
MJ Simpson has been writing since he found out which end of a pencil makes a mark. After editing sci-fan club mags he spent three years on the staff of SFX and helped to launch Total Film before switching to freelance work for Fangoria, Shivers, Video Watchdog, DeathRay and other cult movie magazines. He has a number of scripts in development and has been working on his third book, a biography of 'Bride of Frankenstein' Elsa Lanchester, for a very long time, but he promises to have it finished soon (-ish). Mike lives in Leicester with his wife, Mrs S, and his young son, TF Simpson. By day he edits the university's website and in the evenings he edits MJSimpson.co.uk. He should probably get out more.

My baby is 2 months and she sleeps "on" her boppy at bedtimes. ITs the only way she stays asleep. She wont sleep flat on her back cuz she doesnt feel the tightness around her. We put the boppy in the bassinet and it squeezes around her and makes her feel like she's being held. How can I wean her off this and not have her lose sleep?

Common Puppy Woes
First few nights of puppy - some pre-pup questions
November 2013
Posts: 363
I did read a couple of vaguely related posts from a search but not quite what I was looking for. I was wondering, what sort of shedule / approaches are there to getting puppy to settle and slerp thtough the night as quickly as possible? Here are a few I've heard of / thought of: 1) Whenever pup cries, go down to take him to the loo and praise if he wees or poos, say nothing if it's not the toiket he's crying for and put back in crate 2) Set the alarm every 2 to 3 hours to offer a loo break on your schedule 3) let pup out onve in the midfle of the night 4) sit by the crate for a few minutes to reassure him if he cries but dont touch 5) ignore all crying completely (now number 4 and 5 cant be right im sure, surely pup must need to be let out for toilet?)
My other question is, where should the crate be? We want it downstairs in the lounge-dining room, we don't have a lot of spave upstairs on the landing but could fit it in our bedroom. Should we keep him downstairs from the get go or should we allow the crate in our room the first week or so? I just worry that moving it down after being up will create more trouble as pup will have gotten used to being with us, only to be banished doenstairs. There is no way i want him to dlerp in our room for the rest of his life!

I am by no means an expert on this, but I do have a few things that worked for us. I think the reasoning behind 5 is that you don't want them to think that crying means someone comes, or they'll never stop crying.
In relation to your questions about letting the puppy out at night, Shiba puppies are actually (generally) really easy to housebreak and can hold it for longer than other breeds. Now this doesn't mean don't take him out at all at night while he's a baby, but you probably will need to take him out less than you think.
In my opinion, the location of the crate is sort of your (and the puppy's) preference. We started out with the crate in the living room, buuuuttt Kit had different ideas. She would cry nonstop at night, I mean, I've had dogs before and they have all cried for like 10-15 minutes for the first few days, but would then settle down... Not Kit, she cried for literally hours the first night. Well night 2 rolls around, and she's doing the crying thing again, don't worry we definitely checked on her, but she was just being a stubborn brat. Suddenly the crying stops, and I'm thinking, great she's finally calming down. About ten minutes later I get up to go to the bathroom and see this little thing roll across the floor.
She hadn't stopped crying because she'd settled down, she stopped crying because she had literally broken out of the kennel and was running around. She snapped a weld on the side of the crate and squeezed out between the bars.
The point of this long story is that as a result we had to move the crate to the bedroom where there was a wall that could block the hole she'd made in the crate. This actually worked and she stopped crying at night. We also discovered that a blanket over the front of the crate worked wonders for keeping her quiet unless she actually needed something.
Edited for spelling errors (oops!)

I'm going through this right now with my Akita pup, and have been through it many times with other puppies.
Crate in the bedroom, because otherwise, how will you know if the puppy cries to go out? Also, the puppy will feel much less lonely (and thus tend to be quieter) if they know they are not alone. Every puppy I've had has settled down to sleep pretty easily if they know we are nearby.
It's not true Shibas can hold it "longer' than other dogs. They tend to want to be clean, but no puppies have complete bladder control when they are young, and they need to be taught where to go, of course.
I stop giving water well before bed. Since I go to bed late, that's around 10 pm for my puppies. Though they are usually crashed out before this, I take them out right before I got to bed (around 1 or 2 usually). Then the puppy usually sleeps through the night pretty easily, but they almost always wake early (right now Zora wakes up at 6) and needs to go out. I stumble out with her, then put her back in her crate for another three hours of sleep or so, before finally getting up with her for another trip out and her breakfast.
In theory, she could "hold it' for about 4 hours, but in practice, she's not a particularly clean pup, so she will pee in her crate if she needs to. Overnight she never does that, but during the day she often pees in the crate even if she's been out within the hour. During the day, I stick to a strict "puppy goes out at least once an hour" schedule, though I pay attention, and if she starts sniffing or circling, out she goes. Left to her own devices, though, she will drink and drink and drink, so she pees more than most puppies! She's nearly 10 weeks old.
I think expecting a very young puppy to only need to go out every 3 hours in unrealistic, unless we're talking about overnight.

We had Kouda's crate downstairs from the beginning. Pretty much right by the back door, so it was convenient. The first week we slept downstairs in his view. We actually left the light on the first night. Every night we'd move a little farther away, until we were out of sight but still downstairs where we could hear him. If he stirred, we'd move around a bit and make some noise so he'd know we were still there. We also played music for him 24/7 (and still do when we leave him alone).
As for potty schedules, we took him out every hour at first. But at night if he didn't do anything once outside, we'd extend the periods. After about a week, he could go a full night. We kept a log and noted how often he actually went and adjusted from there. We set an alarm to wake us up for his night potty breaks. We didn't wait for him to cry, we'd just get up and take him out on schedule, praise him if he went outside, and put him back. He never cried with urgency to be let out, but if he did, we would have attended to him. Any other cries for attention we would ignore, but pretty much he was exhausted by bed time and just slept. A tired puppy is a good puppy.
Those first few weeks were rough, haha!

Benji immediately let me know that he despised pee pads on the terrace and would do his business on the grass in front of our apartment or nowhere. Eight weeks and his own opinion! I thought he would explode at first, but no. He also slept through the night from the start, from 11 pm to 7, never waking or crying except when I once tried, mistakenly, to send him to bed early. He was not amused. At first, I took him out every 2 hours during the day, based on his period of high jinks followed by sleep, and then potty again. After a month, it was 3 hours and then an hour more for every month. I just needed to look at his behaviour. There were a few mistakes off schedule, but never in the night. I guess every puppy is an individual.

I didn't mean to make it sound like they could hold out indefinitely, but I had read that they tend to have better bladder control than other breeds at a young age. Maybe that's wrong? But it definitely held true with my Shiba versus my mixed breed puppy!
Oh well, maybe the larger point there was that although (2) Setting an alarm every 2-3 hours sounds good, for me anyway, it worked better to wait until the puppy woke up and told me she had to go out rather than waking her up, largely because disturbing her sleep didn't really seem to be effective.

, I also had Sagan's crate downstairs right next to the front door for convenience. The first week was pretty typical--whining and screaming in the crate, but we did take him out every 4 hours or so. I go to bed fairly late, so when he was a puppy, we'd stroll around at 10pm, again around 2am, and then a "proper" / longer walk when we were awake around 6-7am.

I remember placing the crate everywhere in our appartment when Molly was a puppy. She wouldn't stop crying until, one day, we brought the crate inside our bedroom. We slept a full night that time and never moved the crate away. When she hit 6 month old, we stoped crating her during the night, as we tought that she was well trained and wouldn't have accident. Beside 1-2 misstep, that worked well.
Recently, we upgraded to allow her to stay in the bed with us. Never would have tough i'd go this far but hey, they are little fur ball, what's not to love about that!
The point is you'll prolly have to move it and see how this pan out. Wherever you place it, it's likely that she'll cry a lot during the first night(s), like other member have pointed it. Best luck to you!

We also had our crate downstairs, in the breakfast room so it was very close to the back door. We also had a baby gate at the entrance into the breakfast room and closed off the kitchen door so Kaji could not get out onto carpeted areas. If you can, try to bring home your puppy in the morning, or as early as possible. That way the pup has more time to explore and get used to his/her new surroundings, and most likely will be more comfortable when it gets to bedtime. Kaji came crate trained, so he slept pretty well from the beginning. But he didn't sleep long hours, so we had to let him out to potty every few hours. Also, the crate is in a busy part of the house and I can see the crate from my computer desk, so Kaji never really got lonely except if he woke up in the middle of the night and we were all sleeping. Also, I stay up late... at least to 2am most nights, and used to get up around 6:30 to get my kids ready for school, so that was the longest Kaji would be crated at night.

I will definitely need more than 4 and half hours sleep! But will get up in the night to let him out for toilet. I'm just wondering, do I let him out when he cries or do I set my alarm to get up every 2-3 hours to let him out, on my schedule? Just getting up when he cries, he could cry all night long so at some point I guess we have to ignore it for a while?
As for picking him up, he's a 3 hour drive away so do plan on leaving as early as possible to come and get him, but we'll probably get hom around lunch time if traffic is good. So he'll get at least 10 hours ro explore his new house before bed time. Luckily, I've got 2 weeks of Christmas holidays so I can easily cope with the disrupted sleep, maybe I'll take naps when he does! He'll be 9 weeks old when we get him.

For the exploring, take slow, one room at a time so he doesn't get overwhelmed. Plus you should get him use to you first
I think it depends on your puppy. I got Bootz a little older around 10-11 weeks. But she came potty trained and slept through the night. However, My shihtzu mix actually woke me up at night and needed to tinkle. I lost a lot of sleep with her...
A lot of people use alarms, and slowly extended the time little by little so their puppy can hold it for longer periods of time, and eventually throughout the night. I think this is safer since, if you have a whine-r. You can't tell if he has to pee or just want out of the crate.

Yea I plan to introduce him one room at a time, it's what I did with the cats when they were kittens, and when we moved house last week! (Though Miles had other ideas and meowed at the top of his voice at the lounge doors until I let him explore the room behind that door, then he'd wail at the next and the next until he'd seen the whole house. Only then did he settle down for the night!)
I think I'm in favour of putting the crate where we want it downstairs, and set an alarm twice in thenight for the first week or so then start lengthening the time like you say. If he gets really distressed we will be able to hear him, as we don't live in a mansion big enough not to hear him in any part of the house!

Regarding #5, I believe Tatonka was somewhat crate trained when I got him (11 wks) but lost it because I let him out of his crate when he cried the first night I had him. He did this sooner and sooner each consecutive time, and by the tenth time the crate was just unacceptable to him.
Of course I didn't have much choice at the time. Tatonka crying sounds very weird and loud, and my downstairs neighbor was a dick and tried to get me evicted for noise many times.

This is a very good article on housetraining your pup. Following the steps she sets out will be very helpful to you and any new puppy owner.
There is also a link to Pat's article on crate training made easy...a very useful read!
Hope it helps a bit.

It REALLY helped us to put the crate in our bedroom. We got Chloe at 4 months old. If we left the cage away from us at night she cried for hours. In our bedroom, she slept great without whining. First week she woke up in the middle of the night each night to go potty... but that soon stopped. She's now 5 months old (coming up on 6) and sleeps in bed with us now through the night. Occasionally she'll still wake up in the night, but it's almost always to get a drink not go out.
The best thing we did though was move her cage into our bedroom.

I had 2 crates for Kira, one in the living room that she stays in while we are at work and the one that she slept in upstairs next to the bed. Kira was a dream, she slept throughout the night and woke up at 6am whining to go out. As she got older, she made sniffing and huffing noises to let me know that she was ready to wake up. Now she sleeps in bed with us and licks our arms to wake us up.
I would not set alarms to let your puppy out in the night, she might get used to the ritual and you WANT her to sleep through the night. Keep her crate well within earshot and let her out when she gets antsy. Good luck with your first nights!

Hello, I've some questions about sleeping at night for my new puppy that will be arriving in a month.
1- How long can a shiba puppy 8 weeks old stay alone at night before I need to let her out for toilet? I've read about 3 hours, is this correct?
2- I see most owners here use the crate. Is this mandatory? I was thinking about just buying a dog bed and leave it at the room where she will sleep, and close the room door / use a fence or something to keep her in the room during the night (I have this big room at my apartment with a big window that is not being used and has no furniture or cables or anything dangerous for a puppy). Is this a good idea?
3- About going potty: if I use the dog bed and a hygienic dog pad at the room, should I still come and pick her up and put her above the pad during the night?
Thank you for any help! I'm a beginner with shibas and I'm worried about her first nights at home. I've read a lot but found some conflicting info so I'd like to know the opinion of the owners in here

have you read Dunbar book on puppies? do a search on Google it's a free pdf u can read in one day.
crate sounds like a surefire way to potty train - all other methods are less reliable from what I gather.
you have time to prepare (1mo) - read up and try to create a consistent program that works for you (ie, there is a lot of great advice here but everyone has a different situation). and be patient a puppy isn't a robot it won't do exactly what the textbook says or what u would expect... it sounds so easy but it can be a challenge!

- All puppies are different, so your mileage may vary.
1 - An eight week old Shiba should be able to hold it between 2-3 hours during the day under normal activity. However, you should always take the puppy outside for a potty break immediately after playing, eating, and waking up. At night, most eight week old puppies can hold it 4-6 hours, some less, some more. It is all going to depend on the dog's physiology and its prior potty training from the breeder. If you have questions about this, I would talk to your breeder about his/her schedule.
2 - A crate definitely helps speed up the potty training process and is recommended to use for both potty training and keeping the puppy out of trouble. Plus, it is a good idea to get them used to a crate early on in case of emergencies later in life.
I would not recommend closing the puppy in a room with a door. This could cause some severe separation anxiety or anxiety over closed doors. If you use a separate puppy room (this may be a good idea during the daytime period while you are at work or otherwise unable to supervise), I would use an exercise pen or baby gate. If the room is large, I would start with a crate or ex-pen and then graduate to the whole room with a baby gate as the puppy matures and is able to hold her bladder.
3 - I would highly recommend not using puppy pads. They confuse the dog and make house training much more difficult than it should be. Just start potty training outside from day one. There are loads of threads on potty training that will be helpful if you have never done it.

Hi people!
Now Mishi is with me, I thought I could share a few experiences here.
I've read Dunbar books like
suggested and I've been following the instructions with some success so far.
Thank you for the crate recommendations,
. I've opted using the crate because of what you said, and it is indeed a very nice way of potty training!
During Mishi's first day, I kept her in the crate and would let her out every 1h15min and took her to the puppy pad, where she peed. The first day she missed some times (she walked away from the pad to play and peed before I could get her back), other times she did it in the pad, then I gave her treats and praise. The second day she got it right most of the times.
I know puppy pads are not ideal, but since I leave in an apartment I see no other way (at least not until she has completed vaccinations).
Now... I've noticed sometimes when I let her out of the crate she is so exited to play that she pees unintentionally, maybe she's not aware of what she's doing? I don't know. So now I'm trying leaving her crate open and using Dunbar's long-term confinement (I leave Mishi, the crate and her bathroom pads at her ex-pen, something like the picture:
She has gotten it right every time. When I see her doing it, I praise and give her treats. It worked better for me then the crate short-term confinement so far. Still, even in her ex-pen, she spends most of her time chewing her chew-toys inside the crate.
Let's see how this keeps going!
Thank you againd for your hints ans suggestions =)

10 Bollywood Stars Who Can Join Modi Sarkar
1: Ajay Devgn
With Narednra Modi sweeping the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, he's set to become the new Prime Minister of India. With a new government, comes new canibet ministers who wil lwork in tandem with Mr. Modi. Hypothetically, If Bollywood celebs could be a part of his circle, it would be interesting to see which actors get what protfolio. We list down B-town celebs who would be suitable for the following positions in Mr. Modi's new government. Ajay Devgn as Defence Minister- From early on in his career, Ajay Devgn has always loved doing action films and is the stunt hero of Bollywood. So we think he's apt for this position. With his stunt sequences in films like Singham, the actor can surely protect the nations form being vulnerable. India has a history of being attacked and Ajay Devgn with his no nonsense attitude, will ensure the citizens' safety and fight off the thugs too if needed. India will be in safe and stronger hands so no one can suit this position better. Also with films like The Legend of Bhagat Singh and Satyagraha, he's proved his patriotism. Hands on Ajay Devgn should be selected!
2: Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan as Minister of Justice and Empowerment- Aamir Khan has always maintained that he will not join politics. He got embroiled in a controversy when he supported the Narmada Bachao Andalon and he's made sure he steers away from any political parties. But if he had to join Mr. Modi's government, we think he would be best suited as the Minister of Justice and Empowerment. In his debut TV show Satyamev Jayate, Aamir highlighted the alarming issues plaguing society, often considered taboo and little did he know that his show would break all records to be the most appreciated nonfiction show on TV. When the first episode of Satyamev Jayate season 1 aired on TV, everyone was curious about what Aamir would talk about on his debut show on TV. And he surprised everyone when he spoke about female foeticide. That particular episode broke all TRPs and became a topic of discussion on all social networking sites and also on micro blogging site Twitter. That particular episode made the government sit up and Aamir appealed to the masses to unite and requested the Govt. of Rajasthan to set up a special court for speedy trials for female feticide cases that have been pending in different courts of the state over the years. Then there were topics like Child sexual abuse, Dowry system in India, Medical malpractice, Physical Disabilities, Love marriages and Honour killings in India, Domestic Violence, Casteism and Untouchability to name a few.
3: Yash Chopra
Chopras as Minister of Tourism and Culture- Yash Chopra was the man who made Indian movie goers dream about foreign locales. And it was his classic film Chandni that started his romance with the tourist destination Switzerland. The late film maker transformed the movie going experience by showing the Swiss Alps and the lush meadows. This Chopra tradition was carried out in many other of their films including, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, After that, Switzerland became a hit tourist spot for Indians, In fact, he was honoured by the Swiss Government for rediscovering Switzerland and was presented a Special Award by Ursula Andress on behalf of the Swiss Government. His sons Aditya Chopra and Uday Chopra carry the legacy forward. Uday is already handling the Hollywood division of YRF and was at Cannes recently to walk the red carpet along with Nicole Kidman for their film Grace of Monaco. Hence, the Chopra brothers can be apt for this portfolio. Since they love exotic locales and Uday already has his reach in the United States, they will do an excellent job of promoting tourism and culture of India, In DDDLJ, Punjab was promoted well and the Chopras love showing all things Punjabi in their movies. They can extend this experience to other states through their position in the government and simultaneously through their films. It will be a job well done.
4: Arjun Kapoor
Arjun Kapoor as Food and Agriculture Minister- Everybody knows what a foodie Arjun Kapoor was and is! His fluctuating weight is proof. Although the actor, under the guidance of Salman Khan lost almost 50 kilos, still considers himself to be a foodie. Although diet restrictions are imperative in the field of acting, but Arjun will suit this profile the best. Since he has a keen interest in food, he will be able to track the nation's food output and ensure rules and regulations and laws relating to agriculture in India are maintained. Since agriculture is the main source of income for a majority of this country's population, Arjun will show a keen interest in agricultural produce. He will also get to learn a little bit more on about food and grains. Everytime he thinks of over eating, he will refrain himself and think of the nation's hungry.
5: Shahrukh Khan
Shahrukh Khan as Railway Minister- No one can promote railways better than King Khan. From dancing atop a train in Chaiyya Chaiyya to giving a helping hand to Kajol chasing a train in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, SRK is perfect for this job. Even in his latest film Chennai Express, a large chunk of it was shot on a train and the song Lungi Dance had a train as prop. SRK's film Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenege also had some interesting scenes on the train so who better than the badshah of Bollywood? He will be responsible for the country's rail transport and sort out a rail budget. We are sure SRK will be better than Lalu Prasad Yadav!
6: Mallika Sherawat
Mallika Sherawat as Minister of Foreign Affairs-Whatever this woman does, becomes headlines! Whether it's her red carpet appearances at Cannes or her blunder statements (to Variety magazine) where she said she was the first to kiss on screen in India, well Mallika certainly knows how to promote herself. So if she is given this portfolio, she will promote inter country relationships very well. Mallika loves to talk in her LA accent and claims she is a name in Hollywood. She was also in the news for partying with Hollywood heartthrob Antonio Banderas and made sure it was talked about in India. In the same way, she can ensure that India is on the global map and the way she loves to flaunt her sexiness, the actress can surely get all the work done! Since people also love her in Hollywood, how can the rest of the world not love her once she becomes the Minister of Foreign Affairs? Mallika will make the country shine!
7: Salman Khan
Salman Khan as Human Resources Minister- Sallu bhai is apt for this profile and the portfolio should only go to him. Salman has a talent of finding the hidden gem in people and gives them that extra boost to their career. Right from Katrina Kaif, Sneha Ullal, Sonakshi Sinha, Sana Khan, Isabel Kaif, Suraj Pancholi, Zarine Khan, the list is just endless. With the Human Resources Development portfolio under him, Salman will do a great job of looking into school education and literacy. He loves children and is known for his heart of gold and philanthropic work. Salman will also work well with Mr. Narendra Modi since the two met at the Uttrayan festival in January this year. With all the setting done, Salman can also promote his Being Human brand. Salman will certainly make an impact on the education system in this country and perhaps even lighten the burden of children, since he loves them so much. Maybe the syllabus of the country can have a course on how to be Salman Khan.
8: Kareena Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor as Information and Broadcasting Minister- Responsible for formulation and administration of the rules and regulations and laws relating to information, broadcasting, the press and films in India, who better than Kareena Kapoor Khan to suit this profile? The pretty actress is known to inform and broadcast all the information and gossip within the film industry and knows all the latest happenings. Many celebs who have come on celebrity chat show Koffee With Karan have said that Kareena is a gossip queen who knows what is happening with everyone. Bebo will also be responsible for the Censor Board of India which is responsible for the regulation of motion pictures shown in India. If Kareena has it her way, then she will ensure that all films are passed and very few will be censored. Bebo will ensure that her friends' films are always passed and that the media will have full freedom of speech, considering she played a journalist in Satyagraha. We are sure she understands the profession and the responsibilities that come with it.
9: Amitabh Bachchan
Bachchan family as Health and Welfare Minister-The Bachchans have known to be supportive of social causes and have always done their bit to make the difference. Starting with Abhishek, the junior Bachchan is the brand ambassador of Global Network of Neglected Tropical Diseases campaign 'END7'. The campaign aims to eradicate seven tropical diseases by 2020. Abhishek has also run a marathon to support girl child education. How can we leave his famous wife Aishwarya behind? Ash is the Goodwill Ambassador for UNAIDS. Aishwarya has also pledged to donate her eyes and encourages organ donation. Next up is Big B, who has always been a conscientious citizen and his support for UNICEF`s Pulse Polio campaign had a huge impact on the country, eradicating polio to a large extent in India. He was also the face of 'Save Our Tigers' campaign that promoted the importance of tiger conservation in India. As the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati, he's promoted different themes through the seasons including the latest, "Sirf gyan hi aapko aapka haq dilata hai". All his efforts are truly lauded. So the Bachchans are best suited for the portfolio. At one time in his career, Amitabh Bachchan had also stood for elections, going on to win them. Though the actor does not like the field in particular, we think he would make a fantastic politician.
10: Mahesh Bhatt
Mahesh Bhatt as Law and Justice Minister- The producer and director is perhaps one of the most vocal personalities in Bollywood. Whether it is talking about the face of cinema in India, or his personal life or the need for a secular government, Mahesh Bhatt is the first to speak up. So this portfolio should be certainly given to him. He's also a good orator and will do full justice under this position. He will look after India's administration of legal affairs, justice and legislative affairs. The citizens of India can expect full justice. All the causes that he believes in and speaks so strongly about, he will ensure he will draft all the bills so that they can be introduced to the Parliament

Freeport: City of Adventure
Captain Morgan Baumann
A fierce and vicious pirate captain
Found in: the Docks
Status: female human master
Morgan Baumann is one of the many pirates that breathe a sigh of relief now Freeport has returned to a more comfortable mix of corruption and villainy. Sure, there's a veneer of respectability, but more and more, the pirate city of old has begun to reassert itself, which is just fine for Captain Baumann.
The reason is simple: Morgan has a history of bucking tradition. She never abided by the rules, and did her best to circumvent them whenever possible. She was the only daughter of the captain of the Headsman's Axe, a mean ship with a meaner crew. Her father detested what he saw as a weak girl, useful only for breeding, so he dismissed her out of hand. Refusing to be passed over, she infiltrated the crew of her father's ship, ingratiated herself with them. When she returned to Freeport, she murdered her father and claimed the ship, renaming it Kraken's Claw.
For the next few years, she was a constant and annoying problem for a city trying to improve its image. Morgan had no use for the laws and rules of the city, following the pirate's code of old. Any ship that sailed out of the Serpent's Teeth was fair game, and she gained a ruthless reputation for killing everyone on board the ships she attacked.
Captain Baumann doesn't live in the city; she has far too many enemies, but they are frequent visitors. When not at sea, Morgan, her first mate and lover Shanta Froese (male elf journeyman), and her crew can be found swilling ale in this dive.


text: Selling real estate has two aspects, pricing and timing. If you need to sell quickly, you need to price you home very competatively. Unfortunately, far too many Boston sellers are ignoring this logic. I have seen far too many people wait until they receive a foreclosure notice before putting their home on the market or, if their home already is on the market, waiting to slash the price. This is too late people! Once a petition to foreclose has been filed, everyone with access to the internet knows about your dire financial straits. Foreclosure notices were once pretty much limited to local papers, but now every agent and buyer can find public records with the click of a mouse. Many buyers are not even willing to put an offer on this type of property and they decide simply to buy at a 40% or more discount from the bank. If you think you may be facing trouble paying mortgage payments in the next three months, put your home on the market at a competitive price as soon as possible.

Devon Dixon is the founder of Mr D healthy body healthy mind, he is a qualified gym instructor and mentor. He was born in Jamaica and came to England in 1988 at the age of seven. Unfortunately for Devon he didn't have a great start to life in England and ended up in the care system. During that time he became involved in petty street crime and spent a short period in custody. He then began to realise this wasn't the life he wanted to lead. He started applying for jobs working with young people, this was a struggle due to his criminal record but with perseverance he succeeded. However in the year of 2003 life took a turn for the worst. Devon was brutally stabbed seven times he nearly died and almost lost the use of his left leg which nearly had to be amputated.
He was told it was unlikely that he was going to walk again. During this time he became depressed and his self esteem was low as he couldn't do any of the things he did before
It was a battle to restore the use of his left leg but Devon continued with his physio and his own fitness regime and defied the doctor's prognosis. He started exercising and especially enjoyed running as it gave him a sense of freedom. Gradually his leg became better. He also entered lots of running competitions and raised money for various charities.
It was Devon's own personal circumstance that inspired him to develop Mr D Healthy Body Healthy Mind and with the support of his directors Michelle Jervis and Rob Barclay he could amalgamate his two passions, supporting young people and personal well being.
Mr D Healthy Body Healthy Minds motto is "If you believe in yourself you can achieve anything". We also believe the healthier you are the more positive outlook you have in life.
Devon has worked with many different organisations such as:
Millenium Powerhouse, a community venue which is frequented by young people where he supported the young people in their fitness regime when they used the gym, Devon was also the first port of call if ever there was a problem as he had a great rapport with the young people and was able to reason with them. To this day Devon still offers his services and is still a regular face there.
MAV (Mothers against violence) where he worked as an outreach worker in their community van engaging with young people on the streets. He also accompanied Patsy Mckie, the founder of MAV, to London to give presentations on his life story.
Working with Connexions on their NEET (not in employment or education) programme where he first delivered Mr D Healthy Body Healthy Mind, promoting self esteem and wellbeing to enable the young people to have a more positive outlook on life so they could re enter into employment or education.
He has delivered team building and fitness regimes to Venus netball club.
This year he has worked with the Rio Ferdinand Foundation which was supported by IGMU (integrated gang management unit) offering well being, fitness and team building sessions to hard to reach young men.
His most recent job role was working for three years, as an early intervention practitioner in schools with Manchester City Council on a project called 8 til late. In this role he mentored some of Manchester's most vulnerable young people who were on the verge of being involved in gangs or who were already involved in some form of anti social behaviour. The role then moved over to Big Life Company as part of self help services where he delivered the same programme but was able to see more of the mental health aspect as this organisation focused a lot in this area with regards to counselling and health and well being.

Everything offered there was in good working order. Of a truth, Riverstone Guest Lodge is a place of first choice.

Avocados are native to Mexico which explains the connection between Mexican cooking and guacamole. I just love their creamy, smooth texture and nutty flavour.
1 avocado
2 spring onions
Handful parsley
Handful dill
Olive oil
Lemon juice
• Wash and dry the spring onions, parsley and dill. Slice the spring onions and chop the herbs. Put them in a mixing bowl.
• Prepare salad dressing by mixing olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Place avocado on cutting board. Insert knife into stem end; slice into halves lengthwise to the pit, turning avocado while slicing. Remove knife blade; twist both halves to pull apart. Slice the inside of the avocado halves into sections. Don't worry if you cut right through the peel. Use your fingers to separate the avocado segments from the peel.
• Add avocado slices to the mixing bowl. Mix well and serve.

In Reuters story, Obama pardons holiday turkeys, a photo appears with the caption, "U.S. President Barack Obama (R) watches as his daughter Malia pets the 2011 Thanksgiving Turkey, Liberty"
Now at first glance, we thought Reuters had made a grave mistake. We checked our calender and it clearly was not April 1st, it was in fact November 24th, and we knew Obama hadn't changed his political affiliation overnight. (We keep our eye on such things)
So how could Reuters place an (R) after the Presidents Name? Well, take a look at the photo and you will see that Obama is the one who is standing to the (Right) of the Turkey. Oh, we all needed some editor to tell us Obama is the one on the right!
We fixed the photo up and changed the caption. Hopefully Reuters will see this is all in fun. Next time, we think that one would just add (Right) instead of (R) next to any Liberal. Better Yet, let folks figure out who is the President and who is the Turkey.
Obama pardons holiday turkeys, pokes fun at media
(Reuters) – It may not help the economy, but President Barack Obama found another move he can make without congressional approval on Wednesday: pardon a turkey.

EAST LANSING — Charlevoix native Anna Taylor, a senior at Michigan State University, has been selected as one of 10 members of MSU's 2008-09 homecoming court.
"Homecoming court is a great honor and a way to highlight the amazing opportunities available at Michigan State," said Taylor. "We get to show the community how we've taken our degrees out into the world and made a difference."
Taylor is the daughter of David and Laura Taylor. At MSU, she is majoring in professional writing in the College of Arts and Letters.
Homecoming court members were nominated by an individual or an organization. Nominees were evaluated based on leadership, community involvement, academic excellence and Spartan pride. A group of MSU faculty, staff, alumni and students conducted personal interviews in April with students to select the final 10 court members.
In addition to representing the MSU community during homecoming week, Sept. 26-Oct. 4, members will continue their commitment to help the community and carry on the tradition of Spartan pride.

Key Steps in Preparing a Business for Sale
Change is inevitable in every business, though it can also be very difficult.
Making the decision to sell a company or to merge with another organization is often not an easy one. This is especially true when ownership or management either started the company or nurtured it through the growth cycle. Yet simply making the decision to sell is just the beginning. There are key issues that must be identified, considered and addressed during the process, including timing of the sale, tax planning, financial cleanup and business valuations. The purpose of these steps is to position the company in the best light possible to attract the most qualified buyers and highest dollar. To help clients, prospects and others understand the process of preparing a business for sale, Hanson Co has provided a summary of the common steps below.
Establish Timing – Selling a business for your optimal price doesn't happen overnight. In fact, most business owners go through an extensive planning and a hand off period to ensure operations remain consistent during transition. Much like in residential real estate, timing is very important when selling a business and can be changed by any number of factors. It's essential to understand both current industry and market trends to best position your organization.
Obtain a Business Valuation – Most business owners determine the selling price based on an earnings multiple. However, this is not necessarily the best way to arrive at the actual value of a company. Several variables, including business type, industry, revenue, profit and market conditions, will dictate what approach should be used to determine the actual value. To obtain an unbiased business value and arrive at a fair selling price, it's important to work with an experienced valuation professional.
Organize Financials – The importance of well-organized and accurate financial data cannot be overstated. Potential buyers will spend considerable time reviewing these documents to ensure they are making the right move based on their goals. To be prepared, you should have at least the following items ready: past three years of profit and loss statements and balance sheets, current balance sheets, last three year's tax returns, list of inventories, lease agreement(s) and related contracts. Having this information ready when asked will make it easier to move through the due diligence phase.
Review of Contracts – When selling a company, it's important that all the key information essential to the operation of the organization are carefully reviewed. Start by reviewing key contracts with employees, vendors and creditors. Is all the information updated and clear? If there are situations where expired or no contracts exist with employees or vendors, it's best to address that immediately. A prospective buyer will be much less interested in the company if these essentials are not in good order.
Create a Tax Plan – This is an area that is most often overlooked and has the biggest impact on the owner's personal tax and financial situation post-transaction. Tax planning will ensure that the transaction is structured in the most favorable way possible for the exiting owner, ensuring that as little as possible is paid in federal capital gains, state and other income taxes.
Buyer Pre-Qualification – It's essential to ensure that a buyer is qualified to purchase the company before investing time with them in the process. Beyond a standard confidentiality agreement, additional information should be requested, such as the name of the prospective buyer, previous employment and business ownership experience, funds available to invest, sources of financing, timeframe available to complete the transaction and their reason for interest in the business. This information can help you understand the buyer's professional experience and ability to fund the transaction before considerable time is invested in the process.

Selling a company or negotiating a merger is a complex process that requires significant planning and careful consideration of both strategic and immediate issues. Proper planning will ensure that the company is sold to or merged with the best possible candidate and yields the highest return for both parties. If you are considering selling your company or a merger, Hanson Co can help. For additional information please call us at 303-388-1010, or click here to contact us.

I think that Lightbulb Sun is kind of the last "old" Porcupine Tree Album.
If you want to take marketing your music to another level, then I can't recommend enough John Oszajca's music marketing manifesto. My favorite aspect of his complete program was his stance on email marketing, where he really leverages the that "1000 true fans" philosophy.
His website is a bit hokey (Flaming guitars? Seriously?), but his program really shows independant artists how to get a leg-up on signed artists.
If you are familiar with their discography, the album "In Absentia" marks a completely new version of the band. Everything is just that more well done.
And Lightbulb Sun marks the very end of that "Old" Porcupine
tree. But let me tell you one thing. Out of that old band, Lightbulb Sun
is the very best album they created.
My favorite song on this album is easily "She's Moved On".
The song is simply incredible.
It has lyrics that just are extremely well thought out. I guess it has a bit of sentimental value to me especially, because I started listening to a lot of Porcupine Tree right after I came out of my first serious relationship.
The song brought tears streaming down my face. And I think that is simply incredible.
Now this album was before the Gavin Harrison [Drummer] Days, so it really doesn't fulfill as much as any of the newer albums.
But I will say, there are still tons of awesome things about it.
Steven Wilson experiments with certain aspects of life, and earth, and thoughts of rejection.
Set List
Another neat mention I think, is "Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth before it is Recycled".
The song includes a speech by religious Cult Leader of "Heavens Gate". Essentially the people in the Cult believed that they were from another planet, and they all committed suicide in order to go back home.
Simply Touching.
Only a few songs on the album really stuck out for me. Another one of those would be "Hatesong", with it's wickedly groovy bass line at the start.
Lightbulb Sun certainly is an excellent album, and in my opinion is worth buying, or at least listening to.
It doesn't "Nail it" on every front, but it is still an excellent album, and would be a good edition to anyone's music library.
My free 48-page guide to building your band's website will take you from start-to-finish in setting up a professional website for your band. It covers:

My name is Andrew Muller. I love creative art, music, television shows, movies, video games, and a good story.
If you had to find me somewhere, you would probably find me down at O'neils home cooking eating an organic sweet-potato bun breakfast sandwich with ham.
Among my friends, it's a "Muller Classic Move" to eat Mcdonald's at 2am because it's cheap and open 24/7. The joke here is that I'm an idiot.
I play drums, guitar, piano, and I write & perform music for My Goal Is Telepathy. Take a listen to the latest sound here.

Tim just came home from a hospital appointment to get his knee checked…..
and has informed me of a very unfortunate event!
A car was parked extremely close to T's little fiesta in fact he was sandwiched between two cars… poor T couldn't get in….and the hospital obviously didn't have a tannoy system…
So….Tim goes back into the hospital and has a fried breakfast (!) whilst waiting to see if the culprit had removed his car!
20 mins later…. still no joy….
Tim decides to open the boot ( a hatchback, thankfully) ….and climb in through, Indiana Jones style; two big legs dangling out the back of the car style; and eventually sprachels back to the driver seat…..
…. hehehehe (the very thought of it has made my day!)
(P.S. I am using this opportunity to experiment with my new-found wordpress freedom!! I have figured out what I was doing wrong at long last!)

Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
How many times do we believe that the things we have done change the way that God feels about us? How often do we get stuck believing that God could never love us because of the mistakes we have made? This is a snare of the enemy. It drives us away from the love of the Father and keeps us from repentance and restoration. If the enemy can convince us that we are 'too far gone,' his work is done and we drive a stake between ourselves and God. This verse speaks truth into that lie. There is nothing that you can do to change how God feels about you. Nothing. And the even better news is, you are more than able to CONQUER any of these sins because of God's great love for you. You aren't a victim of sin any longer. You have the authority and ability to CONQUER the sin and walk in the truth. Jesus bought victory for us on the cross, now it's your decision to walk in that victory!
