Perfection. It's been a love-hate relationship. One one hand, it brings achievements, hard work, drive & success. On the other hand, it can inhibit those very things.
In my younger years, I used to think settling for nothing less of perfection was the right way to be. And as a child/teenager it probably served me in ways that it would not in my life now. I valued myself on my achievements & was recognized for it. And with the combinations of an extensive range of natural ability and this strong drive to be my best, I was able to excel at most things I took on - academics, sport, leadership, art, social relationships. I focused on those areas in which I shone & created my own sweet comfort zone in which I received the recognition (from my self & from others) that fed me.
At times, however this would create a frustration that I could not control (or perhaps chose not to because I thought that it served me). my attitude would create friction with my teammates & detriment to my confidence. Because of my definition of self-value, I would come up short of these standards I had set, taking a huge hit to my confidence. When it came to achieving at higher levels, this led to inconsistencies & became a big frustration not knowing why I was unable to maintain that status quo.
Upon entering university, life started to throw me a lot more junk & so many more variables come into play. Self-expectations expanded with these variable & I found this transition to be one of the mentally toughest times of my life. I held onto those achievements of my past & labels that defined me, but could not hold onto the standard that I held myself up to. I went from being a hometown all star to struggling to make the bench on the varsity hockey team. My grade average fell 30% & I failed my first two post-secondary tests, the first time I had ever failed anything. For the first time ever, I lost my direction in life, & all the possibilities overwhelmed me. I no longer knew how to define myself, other than my failures & fell into a pretty big depression. I felt a disconnect from most people in my circle & was unable to ask for help, because I had always been able to keep my shit together, and then some.
I don't think this experience, however, was for nothing. In fact I think we all need to go through something similar to foster personal growth. The short-sightedness of my attitude toward perfectionism became apparent. I started to realize the limits of basing my self-value on my outer achievements & how unstable that can be. Relationships with loved ones became so much more significant in my sense of being. My actions & intentions played a much bigger role in the core of who I am. Happiness, self-fulfillment moved up on my radar & my goals shifted. I felt a bigger purpose was at hand & I had an obligation to fill it (talk about raising the stakes).
It has been an ongoing struggle to manage my expectations but as I get older I begin to understand it more & more & how it plays into the bigger picture. I recognize the importance of balancing a perfectionist mentality in achieving success - the potential of striving to perfection, but the limits of it as well. Setting expectations to an unachievable level inhibits performance, preventing me from reaching goals. Yet setting them too high can lead to disappointment & fear of failure. On the other hand, giving up on your standard (too low) can be really unproductive & unfulfilling.
For myself the challenges I face involve letting go of those expectations when it doesn't really matter. Living up to a high standard for things my heart truly desires, those things that contribute to the person I want to be, to my personal goals, & to my relationships. But (here's where it can get tricky) recognizing expectations that are too high & how they are inhibiting my motivation, getting in my way. Overcoming that fear of failure. Allowing myself to fail. Picking & choosing to focus on the things that matter most. Letting go of the all-or-nothing attitude & acceptation that moderation is perfectly fine (or at least OK) at times, and even required in order to fulfill other expectations.
I find this doesn't only play into effect on myself but also the people in my life. I see in myself the high standards to which I hold for my children. I do think that for my kids, setting the bar high is not a bad thing, it teaches discipline & can help them to excel. But, as with myself, there is a fine line between teaching them to push themselves toward their goals & setting them up for disappointment, the challenge is to find that line & draw it. With experience & intuition I do feel most of the time I am able to recognize when I have lifted the bar to high & when to let it go. Realizing to let go when it really doesn't matter that much always keeping the bigger picture in mind.
Recognizing this in my relationship with my spouse has been a bit more of a challenge, but at the same time brought huge perspective shift. Although I think I knew it on a subliminal level, it only recently occurred to me the impossible expectations to which I have held my husband as well & how it had been frustrating me for years. Bringing this awareness to the surface (complimentary to various other self-revelations brought to surface in the last couple weeks) I began to understand how it fit in with the puzzle of who I am, my needs & was able to let go of that ideal that I had create & which no one person could possibly fulfill. This realization was, in a way, very freeing & I was finally able to let go of this unrealistic ideal I had manifested. I found focus on the many things that I appreciate about him, about our relationship & the areas in which it serves me in my search toward self-fullfilment. It has allowed me to accept his gestures of affection for what they are and not what they aren't. To focus on our areas of compatibility in a clear light. To be more present. And to really appreciate what we are without the frustrations of what we are not.
Although I don't think this ever becomes black and white, but recognizing the potential & the limits of a certain approach or attitude, such as perfectionism, also the importance of balance between these two facets allows us to move forward in self-improvement, in our relationships & in our goals in life. I know for me it has.

You Will Not Want to Miss This Performance with Broadway Legend, Idina Menzel
Called "the Streisand of her generation" by The Denver Post, Idina has captivated audiences at sold-out concerts around the world with her irresistible charm, wit and unparalleled vocal prowess. Idina leads the audience through a special journey of songs from her latest album idina., as well as other classic pop, musical theater favorites and her own personal catalogue. The shows are set to weave together Menzel's irresistible charm, wit and unparalleled vocal prowess.
In addition to gracing the 2014/2015 December/January cover of Redbook and Billboard in March 2014, Menzel is the first-ever to receive the Billboard Breakthrough Artist of the Year award. She was honored with the award at the annual Billboard Women in Music Awards inDecember of last year in New York City.
Her first-ever Christmas album Holiday Wishes, released October 2014 on Warner Bros. Records, debuted at #1 on Billboard's Holiday Albums chart and received rave reviews.
Menzel, the voice of Elsa in Disney's Frozen, made history as the first Tony Award winner to have a song in the Billboard Top 10 when the film's Oscar-winning and multi-platinum song "Let it Go" soared through the charts. Frozen has since gone on to become the highest-grossing animated movie of all time.
Menzel recently starred as Elizabeth in the original Broadway musical If/Then, which was also nominated for a Tony Award for Best Original Score. Her performance has garnered great acclaim, with Entertainment Weekly raving that "she can shake the rafters and pierce your heart all at once," and The Hollywood Reporter supported there's "no mystery as to why the audience adores her."

DelMar Pharmaceuticals to Reveal Next Step in Anti-Cancer Research at the 14th Annual BIO Investor ForumSpotlight Companies Follow |
Ongoing cancer research provides one virtue that many cancer sufferers desperately need: Hope. With over 100 types of cancer affecting individuals all over the globe, every bit of progress toward more effective treatment brings us closer to winning the fight against this deadly disease. DelMar Pharmaceuticals Inc. ($DPMI), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of new cancer therapies, is actively working towards this goal. Their operations and the noteworthy recent clinical trials of one breakthrough anti-cancer drug have positioned them as a likely highlight at one upcoming biotech investor conference.
DelMar Pharmaceuticals announced that they will present at the 14th Annual Bio Investor Forum. The conference, hosted at Larc 55 Hotel in San Francisco, CA, will be held October 20-21, 2015.
On Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time, Jeffrey Bacha, President and CEO of Del Mar will present a corporate overview. The presentation will discuss Del Mar's current Phase II clinical trial of VAL-083, and the company's plans to begin clinical trials of the anti-cancer drug for the treatment of small cell lung cancer. A live audio webcast will be available, along with a replay of the webcast that can be accessed two hours after the presentation has concluded.
Del Mar Pharmaceuticalsrevealed positive results from its Phase I/II study of the effects of VAL-083 in patients diagnosed with refractory glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) this past September. VAL-083, a small-molecule chemotherapeutic drug product of Valent Technologies, showed promising results prior to the company's clinical studies. The US National Cancer Institute proved that VAL-083 was safe and effective in treating lung, brain and cervical cancers in over 40 I and II clinical studies. The drug is currently being administered in China to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia lung cancer.
With a promising clinical trial currently underway, and plans for another, Del Mar Pharmaceuticals continues to not only be a leader in anti-cancer research; but the work of Del Mar continues to yield signs of hope.

This adorable early Child's Litho Lunch Tin dates to the 1920's. The Tin measures 6 1/2" long x 4" wide x 3 1/4" tall. The Tin is dark blue and black with gold figures and designs. Along the long sides are two children playing with a dog. The gold decorations on the top and corners have an Art Nouveau look. The handle moves up and down and the lid is hinged. The lid closes fine. The inside is gold which shows wear with some rust spots and scratches. The bottom is also gold. There are tiny letters along one bottom edge. Hard to see, but looks like A.C.Co. SC. Notice the three air vent holes at to top of each end.
Condition is vintage good for its age. There are a few light dents and several scratches. It would be fun to display this cute tin.

|We rarely get a new Nine Inch Nails album these days as we all know so when there is going to be one release, the fans, and even the critics have very high expectations of Mr. Reznor. Perhaps he knows, this, and in my personal opinion, he hasn't disappointed me yet.
"With Teeth" is pretty much in the same styling of "The Fragile"; Nine Inch Nails' 1999 Double Album release. There really isn't much growth musically between the 2 albums, but the good thing for that is that they are both so strong that little musical growth and evolution is called for. In Comparison with NIN's 1994 Release, "the downward spiral", you can tell that personally, Trent Reznor is not the same lost soul he was back then, making beats out of pure noises and calling it art. This time he is a completely different lost soul, making more bearable, listenable, music to accompany his howlings about politics and personal struggle. Perhaps an advantage this release has over its predecessor is that it's not a double album, which can sometimes be a shoot in the foot thanks to most people's attention spans.
Ultimately, this is a great album. The Music is good, and the lyrics are really interesting and the feel is different from earlier released of Reznor, but not so much that you forget you're listening to a Nine Inch Nails album.
"With Teeth" is a definite buy.

Beating the Heat with Low Tech: Bowl of Ice & a Fan
Unplggd and Re-Nest have detailed some very sleek, high tech ways to keep your house cool this summer. These ways can also come with a less than attractive price tag.
An excellent and affordable method can be found by using three things we already have in our house: a fan, large mixing bowl, and ice. While not the sleekest or most efficient, setting a large bowl of ice in front of a fan caused our AC to run roughly half as much in the oppressive heat.
I arranged my fan and bowl of ice in what I found to work most effectively. By tilting the bowl and allowing the breeze from the fan to blow onto the ice cubes copious cool air was blow out into my kitchen and breakfast nook. The metal bowl I used also cooled and the air blowing around the bowl, causing the metal to function as a crude heat sink. Other frozen or chilled items would likely work, I choose ice due to the fact that the cool water left behind continued to cool the room at a reduced rate once the cubes melted.
Give it a try and see if you receive the same results.

Diana Annual 1976: The Man in Black - "Skeletons in the Cupboard" & more
Following on from the previous post, here's another Man in Black story, this time from the 1976 Diana annual. This one's "Skeletons in the Closet" and is the same quality - such a nice style. And talking of style, some real period fashions there! The Man in Black is again drawn by artist David Cuzik Matysiak.
In the same annual, there is another mystery story drawn by David Matysiak! Not a Man in Black tale this time, though, although it could have been. It's called "The Love Locket":
A nice little romance tale there. So, David Matysiak is the artist who drew these!

1 1/2 pounds ground pork
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1 1/4 teaspoons dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 medium kosher dill pickles, very finely chopped
1/2 small shallot, minced
Four 8-inch soft baguettes, split
2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
Preheat a grill pan. In a large bowl, using your hands, mix the ground pork with the paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Form the pork into twelve 1/2-inch-thick patties. Grill the pork patties over moderate heat, turning once, until they are cooked through, about 8 minutes total.
Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise with the Dijon mustard, pickles and shallot and season with salt and pepper. Spread the mayonnaise on both sides of the baguettes.
Place 3 pork patties on the bottom of each baguette and top with the lettuce, tomato and a few splashes of hot sauce. Close the sandwiches and serve.

A Millennial impact on FMCG Packaging
Millennials are having a growing influence in how organisations do business. With a population of 16.2 million (2016) or approximately 25%, this is now the largest single demographic in the UK. The needs of this demographic vary greatly to those of the baby boomers, and generations X and Y. Yet this impact is not limited to how millennials are accommodated within businesses. Their values transcend across all aspects of life, and FMCG packaging is one area of notable change.
In a typical supermarket, a shopper will pass about 600 items per minute – one item every tenth of a second. Consequently, the competition in this space is intense and packaging has a crucial role to play. Brands need to constantly find creative ways to gain attention and generate interest in their products, and packaging is fast becoming a USP in targeting millennials.
Traditionally, packaging has been used for several core functions:
- Protection of goods from damage or contamination
- Marketing
- Information transfer
- Convenience of handling and storage
- Security
However, the role of packaging has evolved over the years, and now the needs of millennials must be considered. Millennials are attributed with several characteristics which drive different consumer behaviours from other demographics. Principally, these include:
- High expectations
- Technologically immersed
- Thought diversity
- Convenience
- Socially responsible
When considering how these characteristics influence consumer decision-making, a clear distinction is evident between Millennials and others. As a growing sector, these customers represent the largest market share of any single demographic. Strategically, businesses need to consider whether this sector supports their long-term objectives, and if so, what transitions are required to sustain or grow their reach with the market place. Arguably, packaging will be one of the greatest opportunities.
To appeal to Millennials, aligning packaging to their values is likely to provide a USP which makes the greatest impression. Here are some key characteristics to consider when defining how packaging can attract your target audience:
Experience Seekers
Interactive packaging, which offers more than just the aforementioned traditional benefits, will generate intrigue. Using packaging to create a sense of adventure can be a product/brand differentiator. Examples include Origami Bottle, and smart labels (QR codes)
Social Media Savvy
Millennials spend, on average, more than 25 hours a week online. Digital accessibility on packaging linked to social media can facilitate advertising, promotions or information sharing. Influencer marketing is an effective way to create brand awareness, leveraging off peer-to-peer networks. So ask, "Is this package instagrammable?"
Individuality, customisation and differentiation are important aspects for Millennials. They demand products which speak to them as a person, and reflect their values. Coca Cola's 'share a Coke' campaign with personalised names on bottles is an example of this approach to packaging.
Open mindedness
Brand loyalty is less of a concern with factors such as uniqueness and technology prioritised. Packaging can be used to appeal to individuals as an extension of marketing campaigns. Reliance on traditional brand loyalty and a one-size-fits-all approach won't reach the masses of this market. According to Boston Consulting Group (BCG), half of U.S. Millennials aged 18 to 24 and 38% of those aged 25 to 34 agreed that brands "say something about who I am, my values, and where I fit in".
Socially Responsible
With increased on-the-go purchases and convenience shopping habits, millennials are conscious of their impact on the environment – and this, therefore, extends to their brand selection. Recycled, carbon neutral and biodegradable materials are generally preferred. Yet this extends beyond green living. Per the 2015 "Millennial Impact Report", 84% of Millennials made a charitable donation in the last year, and 70% had volunteered for a cause. These values are deep-rooted and an extension of the individual.
The core role of packaging may continue to support the traditional requirements, but the impact of millennials is causing many FMCG manufacturers and retailers to consider the wider implications of their approach.

Buysellads is now a days most famous and popular way in my view to monetize the blog or website but it is difficult to get buysellads approval. When someone start a blog or website as a profession then the main theme of the blog is to make money by applying different ways. Blogger can make money by advertising and through affiliate sales and there is also many other methods to make money from your blog. The best way for an average blogger to make money with his website is through Google adsense but nowadays adsense is very strict about approving new accounts and as well as there policies are also very strict. Your website is always under danger of banning because of invalid clicks.
BuySellAds Approval Tips
In this post I am going to share some tips to get buysellads approval which I personally think if you follow you will get approval by buysellads.
1. Get Your Own Domain
Don't go for Buysellads if you have a blog on blogger or on wordpress so you should have toplevel domain like www.blogcheer.com . Buysellads will reject your site if you don't have TLD domain.
2. Original Content
Buysellads would not give you approval if you have copied content or your content would not meet the grammar rules. so if your grammar is weak work hard at it, it would not take much time to learn it. Buysellads policies are very strict regarding copied content and adult stuff. And from a blogger point of it is cheapest thing to give your readers copy paste content. One thing you should keep in mind that there is very life of illegal activity, you would not be able to achieve success in long term for your blog.
3. Specific Niche
There is very good chance for you if you have a website with specific niche or still you do not start your website or blog. I suggest you to go for specific niche like finance, travel, tech or business etc. Because the most advertisers there at buysellads who prefer specific niche blogs or websites to promote their product to the targeted customer to get maximum benefits. Therefore buysellads give approval easily to such kind of websites if they meet the criteria.
4. Traffic
Buysellads usually do not approve a website with low traffic, the minimum traffic requirement is about 50 to 60K. But I see many blogs and website with less than 30K and got buysellads approval because of specific niche and clean layout. So if you have low traffic then I would suggest you to first work at your website to get good traffic. If you have good content then you would not face any difficulty to get decent traffic because there are so many ways to get targeted traffic for your website through legit ways.
5. Increase Alexa Rank and Page Rank
To get buysellads approval your website should have good page rank and good Alexa ranking. Many people thinks that Moz Rank and Technorati Rank can also be checked by buysellads but I personally think that advertiser would be satisfied by Alexa Rank and Page Rank because they tells all the story about your blog and website regarding traffic and about your blog authority. In my opinion Alexa Rank should be under 50k to get approval.
6. Social Media Following
Social media appearance is very important not only for advertisement point of view but as a marketer or blogger you should have a good following at different social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and as well as fast growing Google+. Buysellads rejects many websites due to limited or no social media following so you should keep an eye at this to get Buysellads approval.
7. Website Design
The design of your website should be relevant to your blog or website niche and it should give a professional look. Try that your website layout should be clean, easy navigation and should be user friendly. Only use few ad spots when you are going to apply.
These are the few tips which I think are enough to get approval from buysellads. If your application is rejected then don't be disappointed and sort out the reason for which your blog is rejected, work on it and try again after sometime. Hopefully you will get the approval after meeting the criteria of buysellads.

Black Ops Zombies Update: Mule Kick Perk On All Maps!
Apparently, there was an update for Call of Duty Black Ops Zombies where the mule kick perk is now featured on every single zombies map! The mule kick perk allows the player to carry 3 weapons instead of two. The mule kick perk was first introduced on the Moon map, but now has been implemented into all of the other maps. This includes the classic zombie maps as well.
Perhaps Treyarch thought it was suitable to put the mule kick perk into the older maps to increase replay value? Of course, I'm sure fans of Black Ops Zombies requested this many times. In fact, many players have done glitches on maps to acquire more than two weapons. Well, now you can get 3 weapons legitimately. Most patches fix weapons glitches anyway.
The mule kick perk costs 4000 points to buy. You will lose your third weapon if you go down with the perk.
This video below shows the locations of the mule kick perk on each map. Imagine being able to play Nacht Der Untoten with three weapons! Great job Treyarch!
Are you glad they added the mule kick perk to all the maps?
What's next for the Call of Duty Black Ops maps?
Considering Treyarch has now added the mule kick perk to all the new maps and old ones, could there be more updates in the future? Maybe there will be an update where they include more perks on Nacht Der Untoten? Of course, some people may not like the idea of changing the maps, however, the layout of the maps will probably never change.
The ability to have three guns on all the maps will definitely put people higher in the leaderboards.
What I would like to see is a pack-a-punch on the maps made before Der Riese. Imagine being able to have upgraded weapons on the old maps! Then again, maybe it's best for the maps classic feel to remain the same....
It's hard to say, but due to the success of Black Ops Zombies, there could be an actual game in the works. If players love the game mode so much, there is a possibility of it happening. Either that or there will be more zombie maps on the next Call of Duty treyarch game.
Why does this have to be the ONLY reiblale source? Oh well, gj!
i cant find the mule kick and i just got black ops yesterdat
its great but on nacht der untoten killed it! its supposed to be old
I was playin zombies on der riese and I tried to get mule kick but it said I needed more kills???
I was playin zombies on der riese and I tried to get mule kick but it said I needed more kills???
Same: WHY NOT ON PC????? Comon Treyarch!!
why not on pc

After seven decades in operation, Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) will no longer be in service by the end of May.
As part of its 2017-18 budget, the province announced it's winding down operations at the Crown bus company – leaving 224 people out of work.
The loss of service will impact 253 communities.
"What are the core services that people expect from government – and it is not necessarily a bus company," Finance Minister Kevin Doherty said Wednesday.
"It was a difficult decision, but we have to get back to delivering the core services that people want from this government."
In a news release Wednesday, Crown Investments Minister Joe Hargrave stated STC was no longer sustainable, as subsidies for the next five years were pegged at $85 million.
"STC's per passenger subsidy has grown from $25 per passenger ten years ago, to $94 per passenger today," Hargrave said.
STC will continue to accept freight for delivery until May 19. All passenger services will cease May 31.
The community of La Loche, located about a six-hour drive northwest of Saskatoon, received STC service in 2007.
"(The elimination of STC) adds more instability for residents to travel to other communities," said Robert St. Pierre, the mayor of La Loche.
St. Pierre hopes for a private company to eventually take over the routes.
"We've been forgotten for many years, please don't let us be forgotten again, transportation is an essential service," he said.
Greyhound spokesperson Lanesha Gipson said they're assessing the situation and could possibly service Saskatchewan in the future.
Nathan Peardon, 22, doesn't have a car in La Loche and uses the bus to get to Saskatoon.
"It's frustrating because of the uncertainty. Sometimes my friends can drive me, but what if I have a major appointment, that's what worries me," he said.
Depot operator Bob Hunje, who works in Asquith west of Saskatoon, wasn't upset by the announcement. He told 650 CKOM he's only had one passenger buy a ticket in the last five months.
"Nobody takes the bus anymore," he said.
The province noted 182,386 passengers used STC in 2016-17. Overall, ridership has dropped 35 per cent in the last five years.
Only two out of 27 routes in the company's network were profitable – particularly the line between Regina and Saskatoon.
The province noted bus travel in Saskatchewan peaked 35 years ago, but has declined by 77 per cent since.
As for the short window of time before service ends, the province said new buses were on order and they would have to pay for them.
STC was founded in 1946 under premier Tommy Douglas.
Curtailed operations
The STC surprised customers Wednesday morning by announcing temporary service disruptions and bus cancellations starting at 1 p.m.
Unbeknownst to the public, operations were curtailed to give staff a chance to meet with management regarding the upcoming end of the service.
As such, from 1 p.m. March 22 and into the next day, various scheduled trips across the network will be suspended. Services will resume Thursday afternoon.
Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert terminals will remain open during that time.
Customers are asked to check the STC website for further information on schedules.

Not to beat a dead horse...posted by The Vidiot @ 5:05 PM Permalink But the talk of Hillary running in 2008 has made me ponder the concepts of dynasty, monarchy, and oligarchy.
Here's a rhetorical question for you: Wasn't the United States created to counter a monarchy? I mean, I can see it now, Hillary in 2008, Jeb in 2012 or 2016, Chelsea after that. And frankly, the Clintons and the Bushes aren't all that different. Some social issues vary, but as far as big business goes, they're all in the same stinkpot. It's both dynastic AND monarchic.
Compounded with that is the fact that the gap between the haves and the have nots has become a gaping chasm over the years. According to Paul Krugman (excerpt here)
Excerpt: Between 1972 and 2001 the wage and salary income of Americans at the 90th percentile of the income distribution rose only 34 percent, or about 1 percent per year. So being in the top 10 percent of the income distribution, like being a college graduate, wasn't a ticket to big income gains. But income at the 99th percentile rose 87 percent; income at the 99.9th percentile rose 181 percent; and income at the 99.99th percentile rose 497 percent. No, that's not a misprint.
Yes, the economy is in crisis, but apparently, not for the top .1% of the population.
That's some pretty scary stuff. Add to that the fact that the poor are drastically undercounted which ends up reducing the amount of aid made available to them, making their predicament even more dire. And if that wasn't bad enough, a program that encouraged public service among those without connections was drastically cut by 87%! And that's just the general population.
Now, if you look at who actually is running things in Washington, you see what can only be called oligarchy. Sons working for companies, fathers in congress directing defense officials to their sons. Not to mention the standard revolving door at the nexus of politics/lobbying/corporate power. To get elected, you have to be "connected" to a lot of corporate money. To lobby, it helps to be "connected" to someone who's "connected." If you're a corporation, you hire someone to lobby who's "connected" to someone who's "connected" who, BTW, you've probably funded in the first place through a primary "connection."
Here are some more rhetorical questions for you:
Why don't we have term limits?
Why don't we have publicly funded elections?
Why doesn't somebody break up the media monopolies?
Why do corporations have the rights of personhood?
Why aren't ethics rules enforced in Congress?
Why is the voice of one corporation louder than the voices of 1 million citizens?
The answers to all of these can be found among the structures of dynasty, monarchy, and oligarchy.
I think our democracy died a long time ago. And the corpse is beginning to stink.

How to Buy A Guitar
Electric or Acoustic
There are 3 types of guitars to learn: Electric, Steel stringed acoustic and a Nylon stringed Acoustic. Simply put the Electric is the easier of the three to play. The guitar body is the smallest of the 3 so getting arms around it is easy. The string tension is lighter causing less pressure on your fingers and less strain on the players' hand muscles. And often electric guitars have a slimmer neck. The trade off is it is heavier and requires an amplifier to get a complete sound.
For the acoustics, there are two string types – steel string acoustics and nylon string (classical) acoustics. The nylon stringed guitars have wider necks at the nut and depth with a shorter scale (neck length) and often a flatter fretboard than steel string acoustics. The nylon strings are softer on the fingers making it more comfortable for beginners. The strings create a softer, mellower tone. Steel stringed guitars require the most strength from your hands and often have a larger body (although there are different sized acoustics available).
All three guitar types come in child sizes (half or ¾ sizes) however, some of the smaller electrics don't tune properly and some are built to be just toys. That's not a bad thing for a child who is interested in playing but maybe not ready for lessons yet.
Most people recommend starting with a steel stringed acoustic. Many parents endorse this advice as well. I have to disagree with this recommendation and rather look at what the player would like to listen to and play.
If you or your child enjoys acoustic guitar players, likes the idea of camp songs by the fire or is completely new to the instrument a steel stringed instrument is great. It's mobile, easy to transport and most are quite durable.
On the other hand, If the player is listening to Black Sabbath, Sum41 or Billy Talent then an acoustic won't encourage practicing or dedication. Always select the instrument that will make you or your child happy. I know parents like to start off with the acoustic and then move to the electric. "play for a year then we will get an electric" is a familiar phrase! I have seen this backfire a number of times. Their child loses interest and finds a passion for learning difficult. The reason to choose acoustic first can come from an unreliable source; advice from a "somewhat qualified" third party like and Aunt or Uncle who plays guitar, in a band 4 times a year. Or often because parents don't want to listen to a highly distorted guitar tone. Or parents do not want to encourage "bad music."
A guitar should mirror the player. Both electrics and acoustics are interchangeable, meaning what you learn on an electric can be learned on an acoustic and sound the same.
Technology Wins Again
I started out with an electric bought for me, by my father, when I was 13. I found it intriguing and liked that it was quieter than an acoustic (unplugged- yes, an electric works without amplification). The downside is that you don't truly get the full impact of the instrument without an amplifier. But amps are so cheap these days and every single one of them have a headphone jack. (Yay for parents!) There are also smaller little amps that can plug directly into the guitar…and have a headphone jack! Some even allow for an iPod to be plugged into play along with a favourite song….with headphones. Did I mention headphones?
In terms of price you can get acoustic or electrics at affordable rates. Acoustics are a little cheaper as there is no need for an amp but starter electric packages can be $150-$200. Very reasonable! Rental is also an option here in Toronto. It's a good way to start too.
Warning- Some of our clients have bought guitars from Best Buy with disappointing results. Their turnover for instruments is slow and their stores are dry and a guitars' worst nightmare! It's always better to trust a music store, like Long and McQuade for your guitar purchases. For accessories, Best Buy is great.
What should I get?
Adults– Get what you want to get and don't listen to the salesperson. Yes, there are very helpful salespeople at music stores but they don't have your ears. The guitar that's the best is the one that sounds the best- nothing more. Don't let your lack of qualification deter you from the guitar you like the sound of (INCLUDING electric guitars unplugged) If you can't play. Ask the salesperson to play it for you and ask for them to play at different frets of the guitar…not just in one place. If you like the sound of it, buy it. If you can't afford it wait until you can then buy it (most music stores offer financing options.) Settling often breeds regret.
Parents- Research what guitars that are in your price range or what you'll be willing to pay. Rentals are a great option. (At Footprints we offer rentals with lessons – check if your local school does the same.) If your child wants an electric guitar or a bass guitar I would get that. If music lessons become a battle of proving one's worth (IE getting an acoustic first to see if she will stick with it) there is the definite possibility that your child will lose interest in music fast. Think about it this way, do you settle for your choices? An instrument is an investment in your child. This doesn't mean you buy the $1600 Taylor or $2000 Parker Fly. But listening to your child can bring you and your child a good return on the investment (IE interest and pleasure in playing it).
You get what you pay for- almost-always-tips for buying
- Solid top acoustics sound the best and will sound better as they get older.
- Cheap Costco guitars and guitars in toy stores are just that and most won't tune properly. Not for someone ready for lessons.
- Play the guitar before you buy it- if it's an electric plug it in but listen unplugged too.
- Spend more if you want it! Don't feel you aren't worth it. A good quality guitar is a good investment.
- Get the colour you like and the one that looks the best to you! You have to look at it every day (you are going to practice every day, right?) so it's gotta look cool.
- You will regret making a pressured choice instead of your choice. Stick with what you want.
- Always try to get the best deal and "throw ins" (bag, capo, strings, picks etc) It doesn't hurt to negotiate.
Buying a guitar can be an amazing experience. Learning to play, one even better! Common sense often rules when purchasing however, let the music style drive the buying choice.

All News Releases By Date
South Carolina Watershed Organization Among National Finalists to Receive $13 Million
Release Date: 08/28/2007
Contact Information: Davina Marraccini, (404) 562-8293, email@example.com
(ATLANTA – AUGUST 28, 2007) The Upstate Forever organization in Greenville, S.C., was selected as a finalist eligible to apply for a grant of $800,000 through EPA's national Targeted Watersheds Grant Program to use market-based mechanisms to improve the health of the Saluda-Reedy watershed.
"Market-based approaches to promote low-impact development and generate funding for watershed restoration are sensible ways of protecting the environment," said EPA Region 4 Administrator Jimmy Palmer. "This project could become a model for watershed protection and restoration in other rapidly developing areas."
The proposed project is focused on Greenville County, which comprises about 45 percent, or 525 of 1165 square miles, of the Saluda-Reedy watershed. The county is the most populous and fastest growing in the watershed, with about 200,000 of the watershed's 338,000 residents. Urban areas within the county were developed without stormwater controls and have impaired some sites in the watershed.
The project aims to improve water quality through the development of three innovative market-based mechanisms. The first is a decision-making tool to help developers assess water impacts and costs or savings from any combination of low-impact development techniques. Upstate Forever also plans to work with Greenville County and the City of Greenville to establish both stormwater mitigation and floodplain restoration banks. These banks would provide incentives for developers to improve stormwater control and restore areas of the rapidly developing Reedy River corridor.
EPA initiated the Targeted Watersheds Grant Program in 2002 to encourage successful community-based approaches to protect and restore the nation's watersheds. Watershed health is important to providing clean, safe water where Americans live, work and play. Since 2003, more than $40 million has been provided to 46 watershed organizations. Besides Upstate Forever, 15 other organizations were selected nationally to apply for a total of $13.36 million through EPA's Targeted Watersheds Grants Program.

Residential events
Our programme of residential events is all about encouraging deaf children and young people to challenge themselves and their expectations of what they can or can't do. Children will sleep in shared rooms with others of a similar age. Boys and girls bedrooms are normally on a separate floor or corridor. The programme will allow for lots of time for them to chill out and make new friends. We are continually looking to create new experiences for deaf young people, including the opportunity to gain an award or qualification. No previous experience of any of the activities is required. Any equipment needed will be provided by the centre and will we send you a list of everything you will need to pack.
First time away weekends
These events are designed especially for children aged 8 to 12 who have never been away on our residential events before. If you would like your child to try an NDCS holiday but not sure if a week away from home is too long then this event will be perfect.
What's involved?
It's one night away with our friendly team where children can enjoy a range of outdoor activities. There will be plenty of time at registration for you to settle them into their bedroom and help unpack their bag. In the evening, the group will have some free time and can relax with a DVD. You can text or call throughout the day to see how your child is getting on and we can pass on a good night message for you at bedtime.
Polly, 9, is moderately deaf with auditory neuropathy. She recently went on a First Time Away Weekend.
"When we dropped her off it was quite emotional and I knew that Polly was nervous. Staff quickly reassured her and she got started on a craft project.
"When we picked Polly up she had a huge smile on her face and told us she'd made four new friends! Her confidence has definitely improved and she now knows that she can manage for a short time away from the family.
"I'd say to other parents that if their child is ready to take a step into the unknown, let them go for it!"
Discovery weekends
Especially for children and young people aged 11 to 15 these specialist sports / arts / outdoor weekends meaning your child can meet like-minded people, learn new skills or polish up on existing ones.
What's involved?
They offer two nights away from home, and enable your child to have lots of fun, doing the things they enjoy the most or have always wanted to try!
`He has grown in confidence so much. It has done him the world of good mixing with his own age group that are also hearing impaired. He is isolated at school as the only deaf teenager. He now wants to learn sign BSL`
'She has learnt some sign language, how to use her phone and an increased sense of independence'
Adventure breaks
Our three and four night residential events are aimed at children and young people aged 8-15 years who want to spend more social time with other deaf children. Our team will support children who are less confident and may find it difficult to form friendships. They will also encourage the children to take responsibility for their own communication and belongings.
What's involved?
Activities including surfing, rock climbing, raft building, skiing and much, much more. The evenings will be an opportunity to relax with a DVD, play games and chat about the next adventure.
'We live in very remote area and making/maintaining friendships outside other shorter events has been nowhere near as successful as this residential week.'
'She has grown in confidence and also her eating habits have improved. She hasn't been arguing about wearing her hearing aids as much.'
'Her confidence has grown and more acceptance of being deaf.'
'I was amazed he stayed – we were expecting a call from staff at the event. He seems to be standing up for himself more. His self-esteem has increased (it was upsetting to see him get bullied, cry, now he has confidence to stand his ground). A credit to the staff at the event for all this to take place in my son.'
Multi-activity weeks
These events are for children who are mad about football, tennis or the arts. If your child is aged 8 to 15 they can join us and spend each morning in sessions of their chosen activity. It doesn't matter if they already have loads of experience or are trying these activities for the first time, our volunteers will be on hand to give encouragement and support. Sessions will be led by experienced coaches, deaf and hearing, who are passionate about developing the skills of deaf children and young people. In the afternoon. everyone will take part in activities that could include games, arts and crafts, swimming and team building sessions. A full evening programme will be provided by the our staff and volunteer team.
`I felt the use of time was excellent. My child enjoyed the evening activities just as much as the daytime ones.'

The National Deaf Children's Society is registered with the Residential Holiday Schemes for Disabled Children, England, which is regulated by Ofsted. This includes an annual inspection of one of our events, as we as regular inspections undertaken internally throughout the year and submitted to Ofsted.

Agfa launches new thermal 8-up CtP system
Tuesday, April 13, 2010
Press release from the issuing company
Mortsel, Belgium – Agfa Graphics today announced the availability of a more environmentally-friendly and more productive version of the company's popular :Avalon N8 thermal CtP system. The new :Avalon N8 system, combined with Agfa's chemistry-free :Azura TS ThermoFuse based-plates and :Sublima, Agfa's patented cross-modulated (XM) screening technology, delivers unmatched plate production predictability, excellent on-press performance and high-quality image reproduction.
The new system, designed primarily for 8-up commercial offset printers, will make its debut on the Agfa stand at IPEX in Birmingham, UK, 18-25 May 2010.
With the new :Avalon N8, :Azura TS plates run 50 percent faster with increased image contrast. The :Azura TS thermal plates use a simple process via a clean-out unit (COU), making plates press-ready without chemical processing. With :Azura TS, water consumption and waste are considerably reduced.
The addition of :Sublima, which combines the strengths of FM and AM screening, gives users the ability to significantly raise print image quality to consistently produce stunning output without sacrificing pressroom productivity.
The new :Avalon N8 system also features an improved air filter system and the cooling unit's energy consumption has been reduced.
"All of Agfa's CtP systems deliver stunning image quality without sacrificing pressroom productivity. The most important concern of the press operator is to deliver high-quality print, consistently and repeatedly, day after day, from the first run to the last run", said Marc Op de Beeck, Senior Vice President Marketing and Sales, Agfa Graphics. "Agfa is dedicated to bringing the most efficient and productive systems to commercial printers of all sizes".
The new :Avalon N8 system is now available.

Why is it that when the state of Kansas gets big money from our politicians in Washington, D.C., we don't call this "pork"?
Gov. Sam Brownback stated in his speech that "all political power is inherent in the people," yet we have a voting law that increasingly denies that right.
Premium content for only $0.99
For the most comprehensive local coverage, subscribe today.
Kansas leading a "renaissance"? Is Brownback delusional? We have shortfalls in education, courts, social services and prisons; nearly 20,000 eligible voters who cannot vote; and 78,000 people who are not eligible for health insurance assistance of any kind. More like returning to the Dark Ages.
Of course the governor will not extend Medicaid to additional poor Kansans. The recipients would see that Obamacare is a good thing for them, and probably begin voting Democratic.
I support Kris Kobach. Requiring a birth certificate or proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense. I have zero sympathy for the 20,000 "disenfranchised" voters. If they wanted to do more than whine about it, they should muster up some determination and figure it out.
I am so tired of hearing about disenfranchised voters. Prove you are a U.S. citizen and you vote, just as I must prove I have insurance to renew my car tags.
Most Americans are contemptuous of Congress. But the federal court system should be judged just as harshly. Nobody is harming America and the Constitution more quickly and pervasively than it is.
Federal judges striking down the will of the people. Legislating from the bench. Illegal. Immoral.
Obama lied when four good men died and he blames Bush while sittin' on his tush.
Given the existence of terrorists, dirty bombs and suitcase nukes, why has our Homeland Security Department allowed the concentration of our national government to remain within just 2 square miles?
So Sedgwick County Commissioner Karl Peterjohn wants out-of-county shoppers and visitors to pay Sedgwick County property taxes via a regressive sales tax. Or would he give us an exemption?
What a great idea to increase the sales tax so the low-income people can subsidize the homeowners in Sedgwick County. Maybe we should also double the sales tax on food.
Tear down Century II and put in a casino/aquarium/theater complex.
There is not enough entertainment value in Wichita to draw large conventions. Look at all there is for visitors to do in Kansas City and Oklahoma City. Just remodel Expo Hall, Exhibition Hall and Convention Hall and you will get more regional conventions. We need no sales-tax increase.
It's interesting to note that servers and others expect tips of 15 to 20 percent, yet God asks a mere 10 percent in tithes. Just something to think about.

WILLINGBORO, N.J. (AP) — Authorities are hunting for a woman wanted in two southern New Jersey bank robberies.
The robberies in Willingboro and Audubon occurred about 45 minutes apart on Tuesday morning.
In both instances, authorities say the woman gave tellers a note demanding cash and claiming she had a weapon — though no weapon was shown in either robbery.
The woman got away with undisclosed amounts of money in both robberies and fled each time in a tan or silver car. Authorities say a man may have been driving the vehicle.
The first robbery occurred at a Beneficial bank branch in Willingboro around 9 a.m., while a Susquehanna Bank branch in Audubon was robbed around 9:45 a.m.

Brand Odotype is a Must.
Scent Marketing: How does your brand smell like?
Wednesday, 31 October, 2012
- Send
What is the odotype of your brand? Do you have difficulty to answer this question? Are you taking advantage of the powerful sense of smell of your clients? Have you tried to activate it?
Scent marketing can be an essential element for any Branding strategy that puts special emphasis in the subconscious part of the brain. All brands should have, on top of their logotype, a specific odotype that evokes the Values to be highlighted. For example, 'dynamism', 'cosiness', 'extravagance', 'chic', etc...
The same way that people use a special fragrance to communicate their style, a good Brand odotype contributes to Communication and reinforces the emotional link with Costumers. The emotional mechanism involved is actually the same that when the smell of a beloved person evokes nice memories.
Marcel Proust immortalized the relationship between sensory stimulation and memory. He described a flow of memories evoked by the flavor of a muffin dipped in tea. It is the so-called 'Proust effect'. Olfactory memories are stored in the limbic system of the brain, together with emotions, and they stimulate very vivid memories. These memories can last for the whole life long. Brands can take advantage of this mechanism in order to help anchoring the memories associated to familiar brands, differentiating them from the less familiar ones.
Open-Senses found that several shops specialised in children clothes are using 'baby scent'. This reinforces the emotional link with Costumers, improves the Emotional Purchase Experience and strengthens Brand Values at a subconscious level. The end objective is to raise client's loyalty to the Brand.
The same way, for instance, a shop of informal clothes can use a 'breakthough' smell, in line with their decoration, in order to attract the younger clients.
Singapore Airlines is using an exclusive scent in the areas where there is a direct contact with the client. This way this exotic fragrance can evoke memories of the good experiences related to this airline.
Since the sense of smell has such a great power upon consumers, Marketing professionals should include scents in their Marketing and Sales Strategies. All points where there is a physical contact with the client should be thoroughly reviewed from an olfactory perspective. Probably many opportunities will appear, such as raising sales by olfactory marketing or improving the Shopping experience with a Special Scented Atmosphere.
At Open-Senses we are Experts in Scent Marketing and we have the best Scents and Diffusers for the Point of Sales. You can contact us at www.open-senses.com/en/contact.

Star Wars
Lt. Rann Tavers
Rann Tavers always wanted the wealth and privilege of the Noble houses. Managing to rely on a well off uncle to get himself enrolled in the Imperial Academy, his social acumen allowed him to quickly boot-lick his way to the rank he currently holds. Lacking the necessary ambition to rise any further, he still managed to use what favors he had to get himself posted to the Uscru Entertainment District of Coruscant as a glorified paper pusher.
Lt. Tavers uses his position to acquire illicit legal services for various shady people around Uscru. Need a permit but don't qualify? Talk to Tavers. Need to pass a health inspection? Talk to Tavers. Need a license for restricted military equipment? Talk to Tavers.
In return, Rann has managed to trade this service for a wide variety of perks from the local businesses in the district, from a private booth (with comped food and drink) at the Outlander Club, to a free suite at the Vos Gesel Hotel, to a private box at the Galaxies Opera House. He uses these perks to both live well and impress young Coruscanti women with his influence.
Tavers has managed to avoid being caught by his superiors by both leveraging the complexities of Imperial bureaucracy to his advantage as well as ensuring no illegal credits ever pass through his hands; all his services are paid for in kind, and so there are no suspicious credit transfers to his accounts.
Rann had a brief but stormy fling with Zsash Rha some years ago, which grew even hotter when she returned to Coruscant. The difference now is she owes him for harboring Karka…

WASHINGTON --Theatrics for Jamie Dimon's day on Capitol Hill began according to the script for high-profile Washington hearings, with requisite heckling from protesters.
As the chairman and chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co. arrived to take his seat at a Senate Banking Committee hearing, a man in a brown blazer began shouting at Dimon as a crush of photographers snapped away.
"Jamie Dimon's a crook," the man yelled, as Dimon appeared unfazed. "This guy should be going to prison."
After he quieted down, Capitol police allowed the man to take his seat, as senators and spectators entered the hearing room.
Shortly thereafter, a chant erupted -- "Stop foreclosures now!" -- among some protesters, including the earlier heckler. Capitol police then removed them.

Joe's Tree Care offers the use of stump grinder, with which the company lowers the stump to below ground level, allowing you to use that space immediately. However, due to the cost of handling a stump grinder, we offer ground level removals absolutely free. but Stump grinding is limited to medium and large trees.

To the Editor:
To the Editor:
Over the last few years there have been several attacks on our religious freedoms, from trying to remove the term Christmas ( it's a holiday tree and happy winter solstice ) from the Christmas season, to removing all religious symbols from the public square ( Ten Commandments, manger scenes and any crosses from memorials ). The fight has now come to Middleboro. Will the Powers-To-Be be up for the fight?
I've driven by the cross in the triangle of land across from Daves Diner hundreds of times. In the light of a recent incident in Woonsocket, R.I. to remove the cross from a World War I memorial I wondered how long will it be before the atheists would call for the removal of this cross. An article in this paper on May 17 proved that it didn't take that long.
The main arguement that atheists make is " separation of church and state." Nowhere in the Constitution does it say, or call for, or require that there be no reference in the public square to the religious beliefs our founding fathers often referenced. The first amendment to the Constitution states that " Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof... ".
We cannot allow atheists to pervert this amendment to further their agenda, which is the complete removal of any references to God in the public arena (any atheist who wishes to get rid of his or her money because of the "In God We Trust" saying on it give me a call, I'll be happy to take it off your hands ). I hope the selectmen in Middleboro will recognise what is going on and stand up to this attack and defend the community's right to keep the cross where it is. I'm sure they will get plenty of support from the people of Middleboro and surrounding communities.
I suggest they contact the mayor of Woonsocket, Leo Fontaine, and hear what he has to say about the attempts to remove the cross from the memorial in his town. At the rally I attended in Woonsocket ( about 1500 people were there ) in defense of the cross he was quite adament that they were not going to give in to calls for it's removal.
My sugesstion to the lawyer from Boston, find another route to take or look the other way when passing that area. There must be hundreds of acres of land where there are no crosses to offend you. Get over it.

Tibetan Spaniels
The Origin
I have been a proud owner of a champion Tibetian Spaniel for over 17 years. The big misconception about the breed is the name. "Spaniel" is a term roughly meaning "comforter." Legend has it that Tibetan Spaniels were trained to turn the prayer wheels in the monasteries. Although this legend is doubted, they did serve the monks as companions and bed warmers. With their keen sight and hearing, the Tibbies acted as lookouts, lying on the high monastery walls and barking, warning the monks and larger Tibetan Mastiffs whenever anything approached.
Originating in the Himalayan mountains of Tibet, the Tibetan Spaniel has been known for over 2,000 years. Bred and owned by Buddhist monks and lamas, "Tibbies" were never sold. They left the monasteries of Tibet only as treasured gifts to esteemed friends. The breed first came to England in 1898, but few were bred until after World War II. Importation to the United States began in 1966, and the Tibetan Spaniel Club of America (TSCA) was formed in 1971. The American Kennel Club recognized the Tibetan Spaniel in 1984, and they joined the Non-Sporting Group in competition.
In addition to the Tibetan Spaniel and the Tibetan Mastiff, Tibet is the home to several other breeds of dogs. Two of best known of the Tibetan breeds are the Lhasa Apso and the Shih-tzu. Other dogs from Tibet include the Kyi-Apso, the Sha-Kyi and the Tibetan Terrier.
What to look for in a Tibbie.
Tibetan Spaniels are small, well-balanced dogs measuring about 10 inches at the shoulder. They weigh between 9 and 15 pounds and are alert and intelligent. Like all Tibetan breeds, Tibbies have a double coat - a soft undercoat for warmth and a moderately long, silky outer coat which lies flat with flaring. The Tibetan Spaniel standard allows all colors, but with brown eyes and a black nose. Their temperament should be confident, active, and alert. Their head should be slightly domed with a medium length, strong muzzle. They carry a high set plumed tail, that's carried over their back.
The Tibetan Spaniel Personality
This is a very intelligent breed which thrives on human companionship. Although they may be aloof with strangers, they are affectionate and devoted to their family and friends. Tibetan Spaniels enjoy attention and involvement with their owners, but have an independent nature and can be willful. When they are being judged they may well not look straight at you and do not like being swooped down upon. They are very sensitive little dogs; they understand and respond to your moods and feelings. Tibbies are not guard dogs and should never show signs of aggression or bite.
True to their ancient duties in the monasteries, Tibbies will vigorously alert you to any unusual event or arrival. Yet, they do not bark unnecessarily. Neither nervous nor hyper, a Tibbie is like a large dog in a small body. In one compact package, they are both excellent watch dogs and very good bed dogs.
They enjoy any high lookout such as a window sill from which to survey their territory and at the same time, they will be only too happy to cuddle up and keep you warm or nestle on soft pillows or clean laundry. they have keen sight, acute hearing and good scenting powers, are very long lived and are not given to early aging.
...And They Call It Puppy Love.
Think of your Tibbie puppy like an infant. These babies need a routine too - regular meal times, sleeping and nap times, play-times, and "potty" times. Children are attracted to their small stature and sweet face, but Tibbies need a kind home that is free of cruelties, even the unintentional ones, such as teasing, hitting, or rough handling. They also need a safe, secure home that is free of hazards such as poison or exposed wires.
A Tibbie's affection for its owner can be akin to worship. Though independent in spirit, Tibetan Spaniels are naturally clean and easily trained. If correctly and gently disciplined, they will readily obey a loved and trusted owner.
To maintain a Tibbie's natural appearance, only minimum grooming is needed. Brush them occasionally and comb the ear fringes once a week. Trimming the coat, except for the hair on the bottom of the paws, is not permitted. Tibbie's are "wash and go" dogs. Which make them perfect for someone who wants a low maintenance, easy to care for dog.
The Longevity of the Tibetan Spaniel
Tibbies are renowned for living to a healthy, old age - often 15 years or even older. If an elderly person is thinking about having a Tibbie, it is only fair that he should seriously consider making provisions for the dog's future.
Owning a Tibetan Spaniel is not a matter to be treated lightly. If you treat them sensibly, love them, and give them the consideration that is due a dog of their aristocratic origin, you will have a companion that is everything you need.
Tibetan Spaniels are the perfect small dog - happy, fun-loving, active, not nervous, very companionable, a good watch dog, healthy, and extremely intelligent - what more could you wish for in a best friend?
Such special little dogs, I miss my Tibbie greatly and look forward to the day when I can have another one in my life.
so cute i love tibbiess
Thre is no other breed but the Tibetian Spaniel...I have had 2 and miss them terribly...can't seem to find another in Connecticut!
They are so cute. I'm just beginning to love dogs and have a small one myself. I honestly don't know if I've seen a Tibetan spaniel before. I'll be more alert now to recognize one.

The dogs would probably like me more if I knew German
This thought originated with the following sentences: I want to speak another language right now. And I want the dogs to understand me.
Then I realized that both our dogs are German, so obviously I need to learn German. Maybe that would make Max less angry. Maybe he's mad that no one respects his language enough to learn it. Or maybe he's mad that all the signs are in English. Or maybe he's mad that we don't let him wear hats. Do Germans wear hats? I feel like they do. I've been to Germany, but it was a long time ago, so I don't remember. Time out. I just realized I know a word (1, one, single, uno) in German. "NO". <– that was english, don't get confused. I know how to say no in German. Next time the dogs act out, I'll yell NO in German and see if they respond better. I'll let you know. Actually, I probably won't because I'll forget or lose interest before I even publish this.
