Last night, I caught up on this past Sunday's Sister Wives, and a few things seemed to be a little, well, strange.
I realize that people say things and they're taken out of context, but Meri (Kody Brown's first wife) made a comment about the fact that polygamy wouldn't be her first choice if it wasn't something dictated by her religion. It was sad, especially coming from Meri, because she goes through so much pain because she only had one daughter while her sister wives had many kids. Interestingly, in a past episode, Meri's daughter Mariah was the only teenager who said she'd choose polygamy. I wonder if that has to do with the fact that she wants a big family, possibly due to the fact that she fears that she won't be able to have multiple children if she follows in her mother's path.
Don't get me wrong - I have no problem with polygamy if all participants are willing to be a part of it. It bothers me that people would hurt their happy lives in order to bring in another wife to follow God's will. I believe that people should live moral and ethical lives, but not live in the fear of God or their religion. In Andy and Nicole's case, the polygamist lifestyle seemed to actually be a downfall of their religion, not something that they genuinely want to participate in.
In other random TV family news, Michelle Duggar of 19 Kids and Counting is pregnant with her 20th kid. Oh, my goodness.

Actor Joe Manganiello organized his wedding around his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers' football schedule, so he wouldn't have to miss a game and some of team's owners could be at his nuptials.
The Magic Mike hunk will wed sexy Sofia Vergara on 22 November (15) - the only weekend the Steelers have off during the 2015-2016 season.
He jokes, "I called ownership and I said, 'Listen, I need a week off to get married. They were happy to comply!"
But he's serious about inviting some of his sporting heroes: "There will be some members of the Steelers organization at my wedding. I'll sneak maybe a former player or two in there."
Vergara has previously revealed there will be 400 guests at the wedding. The couple initially agreed on 200 each, but she had to eat into her fiance's invite allowance because she has such a large family.
Manganiello, who is a regular at Steelers games, is trying to convert his fiancee, a New York Giants fan, before they become husband and wife.
He tells news show Entertainment Tonight, "She's got some Steelers sweatshirts and things like that that have started making their way out of the closet."

Early this morning, Deep Silver, the publisher of Dead Island, sent out a press release touting premium versions of their new title: Deep Island Riptide. As has become the norm for the industry, Dead Island Riptide comes with a useless trinket, that gamers can add to their shelves, right next to dusty Master Chief helmets and broken Modern Warfare 2 goggles.
Except this time, the trinket is boobs.
Well, if you live in Europe, at least. The European collector's edition of Dead Island Riptide comes with a super sexy severed torso. Effectively, it's a bust of bloody, decaying breasts. Mind you, they're not nude, so there's that. But still, it's a statue of a female torso.
Try to explain that to the next lovely lady lucky enough to grace your man cave.
|Me so horny.
As you might expect, this kicked off a firestorm of indignation across the Internet, with gamers, the press, and just about everyone finding this whole thing to be more than a little tacky. Several publications weighed in with their opinions on the matter, and the larger issue of sexism in the videogame industry.
For what it's worth, Deep Silver issued an apology early this afternoon. You can read it here:
"We deeply apologize for any offense caused by the Dead Island Riptide "Zombie Bait Edition," the collector's edition announced for Europe and Australia. Like many gaming companies, Deep Silver has many offices in different countries, which is why sometimes different versions of Collector's Editions come into being for North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
For the limited run of the Zombie Bait Edition for Europe and Australia, a decision was made to include a gruesome statue of a zombie torso, which was cut up like many of our fans had done to the undead enemies in the original Dead Island.
We sincerely regret this choice. We are collecting feedback continuously from the Dead Island community, as well as the international gaming community at large, for ongoing internal meetings with Deep Silver's entire international team today. For now, we want to reiterate to the community, fans and industry how deeply sorry we are, and that we are committed to making sure this will never happen again."
Notice how they never said they were going to, you know, actually change the statue, discontinue it, or anything.
The real question I'm posing here, is to you; the readers. Do you buy these Collector's Editions? Is that statue offensive, or just dumb? Is this the best advertising Deep Silver could have ever asked for?
Christopher Linendoll loves him some torso. He can be reached via Twitter, or found in the hummus section of your local grocery store.

Kraj koordynujący:Germany
Topic(s):54 - Oceanology and Geohydrology
Whereas the eminent role of the north Atlantic circulation and its variations on scales indicative of climate changes is well known, recent work has shown that these changes occur much faster in some critical regions of water mass formation than previously understood. These signals are much stronger and progress much faster and at greater depths. Within the last ten years, the characteristics of the intermediate circulation in the north Atlantic have shown a strong cooling compared with the previous decade. The rate of change was so far unknown.
Crucial to the understanding of these rapid changes is the evaluation of both the forcing fields at the ocean-atmosphere and the responsof the ocean. Since July 1991 efforts have been underway to combine the extensive expertise of Russian scientists on the first issue and of west European scientists on the second. The current project will extend the existing co-operation to a joint, viable and intensive investigation of these issues by enhancing the equipment of the Russian scientists and the interaction between the various participants.
This project will obtain reliable estimates of inter-annual variations of the heat exchange between the north Atlantic and the atmosphere using a new exchange parametrisation technique. It will also analyse the main components of the meridional heat transport and the meridional freshwater transport in the tropics, mid-latitudes and sub-polar regions, including hydrographical zonal sections data, the comprehensive ocean-atmosphere data set (COADS) and simple inverse models. Finally, it will determine and quantify sea surface temperature and sea surface salinity climatic variations together with corresponding changes in the deeper layers of the north Atlantic.
Existing Russian data sets will be preserved and made accessible to other scientists so that their quality and reliability can be compared to similar data sets existing in public literature. This will support a group of scientists that have been providing excellent scientific results in the past and enable them to complete most of their current projects. This project will also forge links between Russian scientists and their counterparts in west European countries and provide them with free and open access to state-of-the-art science and scientific methods. It will enable Russian scientists to take part in current climate-related projects within the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). WOCE is in the last two years of its field-phase which is concentrated in the north Atlantic. Subsequently, the results of this project will position the participating Russian scientists in an active and challenging scientific environment. The project will provide new insight into the processes that govern the exchange of heat, freshwater and momentum between the atmosphere and the ocean in a region critical to the global climate. The results will fill an important gap by making use of 25 years of hardly accessible Russian data and science.

Pop-Pop sat at our kitchen table with his back against the window that faced the railroad tracks. Beyond the tracks was a long wall of rusty chain link fence that separated our house from a neighborhood Mom called "the projects." I was strictly forbidden to go past that fence so I was always intensely curious about the people who lived there, about the tall brown-faced buildings with the smashed out windows and the dogs I could hear growling and tearing at each other in the dark, even when my bedroom window was closed.
It was already night out when Pop-Pop showed up at the house. He was wearing a cotton, pit-stained t-shirt and his usual black work pants. He had a thick, wiry helmet of white hair on his head and a pair of tinted glasses on his face. The tattoos on the caps of his shoulders had faded from blue to black, their once straight lines now droopy and distorted. He sat next to me on my right side with his elbows poking through the edge of the table, his chalky and calloused hands resting one on top of the other in front of his mouth. His cigarette was fired up and resting in the ashtray next to a sweaty, red-and-white can of Budweiser.
Joe, my stepfather, was also at the table sitting to my left, drunk and slobbering. Mom was standing off in the back of the kitchen, also loaded—with glossed over eyes and a cigarette dangling between her fingers. Mom and Joe were talking and from the sharp edge in Joe's voice, I could tell that things were about to boil over. I fidgeted nervously in my chair and shot quick, desperate glances at Pop-Pop but his attention was glued to the rumblings coming through the window from the other side of the fence. The dogs were outside fighting again, ripping and snarling at each other like angry pigs. Pop-Pop turned back around to the table, his overgrown belly scratching across the tops of his thighs. Then he jerked his arms up towards the ceiling and grunted, "Fucking bums—making those dogs fight each other like that!"
There was a quick flash of silence and then a loud smack coming from the left side of the kitchen. Joe had pinned Mom by her throat up against the side of the fridge. Her face was purple and red and her chin was pointed up towards the ceiling, the tips of her toes now blue. I waited for Pop-Pop to jump up out of his seat and rescue my mom—his youngest daughter. I waited for him to grab Joe by the back of his head and throw his sorry ass to the floor. I waited for him to take charge but instead he leaned back into his chair, spread his chest open wide like a gorilla and barked, "That's what you get, you bitch. Next time you keep your mouth shut."
In my early 20's, Pop-Pop died from cancer. And when I heard the news, I felt nothing. I was invited to the funeral but I chose not to go. Mom, however, visited him in the hospital while he was dying. And she told me that before he passed away, he said to her, "You know I love you, bitch." And she said, "Yeah, I know, Dad. I know you do." I asked Mom if she really believed that he loved her and she replied, "I don't know but I think he did the best that he could." I bit down hard on my tongue, sighed a lead heavy sigh and thought: She can't actually believe that, can she?
Years later, I was sitting in the Starbucks at the corner of 75th and 1st in Manhattan, catching up with a friend. She knew all about my traumatic childhood, about my alcoholic parents and the physical abuse. For some reason, I'd been thinking a lot about my mom that day and the time she stuffed me behind the love seat in our living room, jammed a massive knife in my hand and ordered me to jump out and stab my stepfather when he finally got home from the bar. I knew better than to deny Mom when she was drunk and insane so I did as she told me and hovered behind the love seat like a vigilant soldier in the trenches, with the point of the knife facing up towards the front door while I waited.
I don't know why she said it but after I told my friend this story, she turned to me and said rather flippantly, "But you know, your mom was pregnant at 16—she didn't know what she was doing as a mother." My friend then paused and patted me gently on the shoulder and said, "You know, she was just doing the best that she could." I had a steamy, grande cup of black coffee in my left hand and all I wanted to do was hurl it at the perfect cream-colored wall behind me.
My mom may have been good at cooking and keeping the house clean when she was sober but she was a toxic and unstable parent. My dad may have been a genius with cars and a decent brother-in-law and uncle but as a dad, he was selfish and unreliable. My stepfather may have had a perfect credit score and owned his own home but he was also a violent alcoholic. And my stepmother may have been fluent in sign language and kind in public but behind closed doors, she was childish and sadistic. My parents, in my opinion, did not do the best that they could. In their own way and to varying degrees, they were each abusive, neglectful and manipulative and I'll never be able to understand how anyone can believe that they were truly doing their best. Clearly there was plenty of room for each of them to do much, much better. So, why didn't they? And why have they never been held accountable for the misery and pain they caused?
I can't help but imagine that if my grandfather, dad, mom, stepdad or stepmom had had to take responsibility early on for the way they behaved, then the abuse they so willingly dished out would have stopped before it had a chance to become tragic. Maybe then my mom wouldn't have turned to alcohol to numb the aches from her relationship with Pop-Pop and ended up marrying his clone. Maybe my brother would have had access to the positive support he needed to kick his drug habit and wouldn't have spent half his life in jail. And maybe I still wouldn't be paying for a therapist and psychiatrist and have bookshelves stacked with self-help books.
I'll never know if my fantasies are too far-fetched for reality but I do know that when relatives or friends deny the truth about my parents' alcoholism, their abusive tendencies and their overall neglectfulness with the phrase, "They did the best that they could," it feels like a hot slap in the face. These well-meaning people may think it's comforting to me but it's not and I would rather that they just say nothing at all.
My friend and I were still sitting across from each other at Starbucks where, thankfully, I did not throw my hot coffee against the perfect cream-colored wall. Instead I took a deep breath and sat up a little bit taller in my chair. I put my hand on top of my friend's—which was still cupping my shoulder—while I pulled together an honest smile. Then I said, as gently as I possibly could, "Well, then I guess my mom's best just isn't good enough for me."

JONES MILLS (AP) — A western Pennsylvania man said he used flashing dashboard lights to mimic a police speed trap — but only so he could slow down vehicles speeding past his rural home and killing deer and endangering people.
Ricky McMillen, 57, told WPXI-TV that he used the flashing lights on his car because he's been complaining about speeders for years and getting few results. What he has gotten is smelly deer carcasses along the road in Donegal Township, about 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
State police charged McMillen last week with impersonating a public servant and displaying improper lights.
McMillen said he's been using the lights for a while, and they've worked well.
He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Dec. 15.

Does the word "fit" make you think of rail-thin women jogging in yoga pants? Or men with all muscles (and no neck) downing protein shakes? Let Tha Compound Movement re-build your ideas around health while sharing some laughs with cool people. We hope to challenge the stereotype of what fitness looks like in order to empower people to live their best life.
Founded by Shanelle Gabriel (Personal Trainer, Poet, Singer), this movement includes special events, social media tips, and a podcast that explores multiple health & lifestyle topics through entertaining guests & medical experts, light-hearted but engaging discussions, shared research, and more.
In the fitness world, a compound movement is defined as "an exercise that works multiple joints at once for maximal muscle recruitment, high nervous system activation, and a stimulus for growth."
Likewise, the mission of Tha Compound Movement is to encourage others to maximize their quality of life, activate their own health journey, and stimulate growth in the number of people who are working to battle the rise of preventable illnesses, especially for people of color.
Sometimes, I just have to pop my own collar, and that's okay! We need to be a lil more vain...a lil more Kanye... a lil more thick-skinned and self-reliant. Everyone isn't able to pat you on the back, so you have to make sure you aren't doing things for people, you're doing this for YOU! These moves you're making should not be to get love and support because people's attitudes and ideas of what's normal/important change like the climate. Do it because it brings you joy both in the long and short term, because it's your passion, and because it's your personal goal that you've set. And when you reach small milestones, look in the mirror and say "Yep, I did that shit."
Damn GMOs, this and that being inflammatory, pesticides, food industrial complex, big pharmaceutical conspiracy theories, evil carbs coming to get you stories, and chicken lives matter movements been making a sista have to question what's in every meal!!! Forget these fad diets. Make sure you're choosing a diet that's sustainable (meaning you can realistically stick to it), nutrient-based (allows your body to get everything it needs to function and grow, especially if you go hard in the gym), and you clear it with your doctor (so if, God forbid, you fall out, they know why.) Beware of meal plans from people that are NOT nutritionists. Personal Trainers without a Nutrition certification/degree can RECOMMEND dietary changes but should NOT give full meal plans. #facts

Looking for a Used Montana in your area?
CarGurus has 171 nationwide Montana listings starting at $2,500.
2004 Pontiac Montana Overview
Dropping its Value trim, the 2004 Montana comes in base and Highline MontanaVision in regular or extended wheelbase versions. Though only available on the extended models last year, Versatrak all-wheel drive is an option across the Montana lineup in 2004. XM radio and MP3 players are other new options. The 3.4-liter, 185-hp V6 engine has not changed over the years, and is still surprisingly energetic with a smooth 4-speed auto tran.
The 2004 Montana is a versatile minivan that offers special sports packages to help dress it up in SUV clothing and please driving enthusiasts who have to double as kid-toting parents. The ChromeSport package replaces the Thunder Sport, but offers the same sports suspension, rear spoiler, and 16-inch chrome wheels. ABS brakes are standard on all but the shorter base model, which also doesn't come standard with captain's chairs. Otherwise, you can get quite a lot on the base, including remote entry, cruise control, rear wiper, power features, and a standard roof luggage rack. Dual sliding doors are standard, and there is a power option on the extended trims. Other options include traction control, heated leather seats, parking assist, and an air compressor. MontanaVision is Pontiac's DVD system that comes with headphones and a remote control and keeps the kids occupied while you enjoy the SUV-like handling behind the wheel.
Lots of room, seat configurability (for 6-8 people), good gas mileage, and special options make the 2004 Montana practical and pleasantly comfortable for long family trips. The ride is quiet and the handling can even be somewhat sporty, say owners. The dual sliding doors are a godsend. Aside from ongoing major mechanical problems, the 2004 Montana needs more horsepower, according to drivers. The seats are difficult to remove and there seem to be less storage compartments than in previous years. The interior plastic looks and acts cheap and there are problems with rattling and squeaking.

Managing Resistance
Is your team equipped to respond effectively?
This module outlines the concept of resistance to change, explains the main reasons individuals resist, distinguishes between resisting attitudes and resisting behaviors, and offers practical techniques to both pre-empt and overcome resistance.
Every Change Activation Toolkit module features
Tools &
This module will activate your organization to:
- create a common language with which to understand and describe driving emotion states that underpin resistance, such as fear, fatigue, skepticism, disappointment, anxiety and confusion
- empower change management leaders to take action to prevent such resistance occurring or overcome those states if they are recognized among those affected by a change
- create a common language with which to also describe resistance by omission (inaction/bystander)
- show this video to change leaders, managers and supervisors that are encountering resistance to change in order to give them insights into actions they can take towards overcoming the resistance
- explain that simply communicating about a change or change activity may not necessarily lead to message recipients comprehending the message, necessitating the use of a variety of communication types
- This module addresses the reality that there may always be resistance in some form during an organizational change initiative and describes that it may be necessary, in a worst-case scenario, to take action to isolate the damaging impact that a resisting individual can have
Learning objectives
This module will empower your teams and individuals to:
- understand that some resistance to change is normal
- identify the varying reasons individuals resist change efforts
- acknowledge that some resistance behavior will be overt and some will be covert
- gain specific techniques for minimizing resistance to change

My favorites were going to Mobile where we stayed several days; going to Cartersville, Georgia and having lunch at the mansion. I met a lot of nice people.

Don't Miss These Basic Aspects About Dental Implants
Replacing lost tooth/teeth is more than important, not just for the perfect smile, but also for comfortable eating. Even a few decades back, most people relied on dentures, which were clumsy and very uncomfortable to say the least. Bridges were the next best alternative, but that meant brushing or roofing the adjacent teeth. Thankfully, we have dental implants now, which are better than most other tooth restorative options. What are dental implants? Implants are replacement tooth roots, which are fused to the jawbone. These are made of titanium and are…Read More

If hosting a chic holiday party ranks high on your to-do list this season, the first thing you do is acquire the perfect bottle of bubbly, and the second? Go pinning for festive ideas, of course! When it comes to pre-fete planning, Taylor Sterling, Glitter Guide founder and creative director, has plenty of imaginative and nifty party pointers that are sure to spice up your seasonal get-togethers. Today, she teams up with Chandon to show you just how easy it is to make a party "pop." (Don't worry, you'll get it in a minute.)
"Your hostess outfit should go with the theme of the party, but it doesn't have to be too literal. Simply wear a colour that matches a colour in the decorations. Make sure it feels right for the occasion too. If it's fancy and fun, try to have your outfit match the vibe. We went with a Kate Spade New York cocktail dress in hot pink. It's playful and vibrant—just like our party."
Shop The Look:
"Frances Lane provided the beautiful vintage glassware; gold is our go-to and we couldn't resist including it at our party!"
"We worked with Brown Paper Design to create all of the vibrant florals. We especially loved the installation that hung from the ceiling."
"Of course there was a styled bar cart full of Chandon and lots of vintage barware and curiosities, a great conversation starter for any get-together."
"The gold, black, and white used on the Chandon limited-edition bottle was our inspiration, and we added a pop of pink to bring our party to life. Tori Hendrix of Sitting In A Tree designed and styled the entire set based off of this fun colour inspiration."
Shop The Look:
"There's an extra bit of sparkle in the air that encourages people to use their best glasses, spend a little more time perfecting their recipes, and really master the perfect playlist. It's all the extra effort that makes the holiday season so special!"

It's been about 28 years since I was enjoying the wonder of my first pregnancy, and yes, ladies, even though your babies do grow up and leave the nest, your memories never do. My husband and I smile and chuckle as we remember the different things we did to naturally avoid getting pregnant, and then to make sure that we conceived naturally...and we didn't have a helpful pregnancy website to help us. We also marvel that it took 3 months exactly to conceive each of our children that were born 2 1/2 years apart. The miracle of life is an experience to treasure.
I found some information on foods and nutrients that help with fertility at pregnancy.guru.com, when you go to the site, click on the "Boost Fertility Naturally" link, then watch the video, and enjoy the other links at the site. You'll learn about things like fertility as mentioned, fetal development, life during pregnancy, labor and delivery, breastfeeding, morning sickness and so much more.
The experts at the site that will be helping you are a board certified anesthesiologist, a Doctor with much experience from Mt. Sinai Hospital in NY (we live near NY, and believe me, this is a hospital you want to go to if you are dealing with anything serious because of the high standard of excellence), and a surgical gynecologist.

Porcelain tile is one of the most famous selections of flooring and it's evidently become among the most favored tiling for bath room in residential areas. It is top quality, very flexible, provides the homeowner lots of varieties as to design and colour, and could really be utilized in almost all surfaces which can be tiled. Don't be overly hasty to jump to judge the acknowledgement of the products and hop into the bandwagon. It is an always best to be familiar with the material if you plan to use it yourself. It's good option for bath room tiling, both for the flooring and the walls.
Why? Since in the first put it is resistant, having the water absorption speed of.5%, making it incredibly advocated for on a regular basis wet areas. Porcelain tiles for bathrooms are not suffering from the steam from the steam shower. Lower humidity absorption speed may help improve the quality of the atmosphere inside the bath room as well since this would keep the region from consuming unwanted particles in the air. Compared to other varieties of tiling, porcelain tile may expand its uses to shower, shower surrounds and bath. This is credited of the fact that porcelain tiles are simple to keep and thus, the build-up of parts that may deteriorate the quality of the bath room is almost hopeless.
Generally, regular wiping is adequate enough as to guarantee the durability of the tiling. Installation of porcelain tiles is reasonably easy. This is among the numerous reasons why porcelain along with other ceramic tiles became so popular to the public. A typical handy man might install porcelain tiles, thus cutting out the professional fee that's normally needed when needing to renovate or remodel the toilet. This gives creating command for the homeowner that makes the design of the bath room tiling personalized. There are various tricks to porcelain tile installation of course, but there's nothing that couldn't be learned. There's a major drawback to using porcelain tiles for bath room though, not enough uniformity in size and width. This makes installing a bit challenging as compared with tiles that can be found in uniform sizes. For the previous 25 years, porcelain tile has gained its popularity towards the public consumer.

One of the most distinguishing features about the Chow-Chow is their blackish/blue tongue, the other being their profuse, thick coat. There are two types of Chow with the first being a smooth-coated dog and the other being the rough-coated Chow. Often aloof and a little stand-offish, they are however, extremely loyal and devoted to their owners and in particular to one person in a household.
Over the years, the Chow-Chow has become a popular choice with many people. All thanks to their unusual looks and their loyal natures. However, they are not the best choice for first time owners because Chows need to be well trained and handled by people who are familiar with this type of dog, or a Chow might just get the upper hand and start exhibiting a more dominant side to their nature.
Chow-Chows have been around for thousands of years and are thought to be related to Nordic Spitz-type dogs. They were highly prized in China for their guarding and hunting abilities, but the breed remained a bit of a mystery to the rest of the world for a long time all due to the fact that China had closed its borders right up until the 1800s. The Chow did not appear here in the UK until the nineteen twenties.
However, the actual origins of the breed have been lost in time there is some evidence of a Chinese Emperor owning around two thousand Chow type dogs in the 7th century AD which he used as hunting dogs.
In more recent times, Chow-Chows have become popular pets with movie stars during the "roaring twenties" and today they remain high on the list of preferred companion dogs with people the world over including here in the UK.
The Chow is a large dog that boasts some unique physical traits, one of which is the fact they have blackish/blue tongues and the other being they have very thick, dense coats. They have large heads; their muzzle is moderately long and their nose is wide and large being black in colour with the exception of dogs that boast near white or cream coats where their noses are much lighter. Chows with a fawn or blue coat should have black noses, but self-coloured is allowed as a breed standard.
Their eyes are oval in shape and dark, with blue or fawn coats have eyes that match their colouring. A Chow-Chow's ears are small, slightly rounded at the tips and very thick. Dogs carry them upright.
The way a Chow's ears stand up on a dog's head gives them the appearance of always scowling which is another unique physical trait that makes these dogs stand out in a crowd.
They have strong mouths with a perfect scissor bite where their upper teeth neatly overlap their lower ones. Their gums tend to be various lighter shades with cream and white dogs having the lightest coloured gums of them all. Chows have very strong necks which they hold slightly arched giving them their proud and aloof look.
Their shoulders are well developed, muscular and sloping with dogs boasting straight front legs with lots of bone. Chows are deep chested dogs that have a well sprung ribcage, powerful loins and a strong, level back. A Chow's tail is set high which dogs carry them well over their backs.
When it comes to their coat, Chow-Chows can either have smooth or rough coats. Rough-coated dogs have thick, dense straight hair that stands well off from their body. Their outer coat is coarse, but their undercoat is woolly and much softer. Smooth-coated dogs have a shorter double coat with dense, straight hair that stands upright and which is very plush to the touch. Chows come in a variety of colours which includes the following: Black, Blue, Cream, Fawn, Shaded Red, White.
Chows are very intelligent dogs, but they can be strong-willed when the mood takes them too. Their training and socialisation has to start early for them to become well-rounded, obedient characters. They are known to have a stubborn streak and if allowed, they will show a more dominant side to their character. They need to be given the right sort of direction from a young age and then throughout their lives so they understand their place in the pack and who is alpha dog in a household.
Chows form very strong bonds with one person although they are always affectionate and friendly towards everyone in a household. They are not a good choice for first time owners because they need to be handled and trained correctly by someone who is familiar with this type of strong-willed, intelligent dog. Because they form such a strong bond with one owner, the Chow-Chow can suffer from separation anxiety which can be a real problem for people who spend all day out at work.
Chows are instinctively suspicious of strangers and people they don't know, they also tend to be very protective of their family and their property which means they are very quick to let an owner know when strangers are about. They are very good around children as long as they have grown up with them, making Chows a good choice for families.
It's in a Chow's nature to chase anything that moves which means great care has to be taken when walking a dog through the countryside or park. The one thing Chows are not keen on chasing is anything an owner throws for them which is something these dogs are not interesting in doing whatsoever.
Intelligence / Trainability
They do have a stubborn streak in them which means without the right sort of handling and training. However, in the right hands and given the right sort of direction, the Chow is relatively easy when it comes to teaching them the rules and how to behave. The thing to bear in mind, is that Chows need to know why they are doing something and will not do anything they think is not necessary.
Because the breed is known to be extremely clean, Chows are easy to housetrain.
Children and Other Pets
The Chow is known to be good around children although they do tend to become very protective of them. They are large dogs and therefore any interaction between the kids and a dog should always be well supervised by an adult to make sure things stay calm and no children get knocked over albeit accidentally.
Care needs to be taken when a Chow meets any dogs they don't already know and the same can be said of any pets in a household. Although they are rarely the ones to start a fight, a Chow will think nothing of defending themselves if they feel threatened by another dog in any way.
The average life expectancy of a Chow-Chow is between 9 to 15 years when properly cared for and fed an appropriate good quality diet to suit their ages. Like many other pedigree dogs, they are known to suffer from certain hereditary conditions which are worth knowing about if you are hoping to share your home with one of these large and lovely looking dogs. The health issues that seem to affect the breed the most include the following: Entropion, Eczema/hot, Bloat, Breathing issues, Heatstroke.
Caring for a Chow-Chow
As with any other breed, Chows need to be groomed on a regular basis to make sure their coats and skin are kept in top condition. They also need to be given regular daily exercise to ensure they remain fit and healthy. On top of this, they need to be fed good quality food that meets all their nutritional needs throughout their lives.
Chows enjoy being groomed because they like the one-to-one attention they are given when they are being pampered and brushed. It's important for puppies to be groomed from a young age paying particular attention to touching their feet and their ears. This makes it that much easier to check them later when these dogs are larger and that much heavier to handle.
It's also important to regularly check a Chow's chest because when they get excited, some of them tend to dribble and this can cause problems with the skin becoming sore and inflamed if not regularly cleaned and wiped dry. Ideally, Chows need to be groomed at least once a week.
Chows are not known to be high energy dogs, but they do need to be given the right amount of daily exercise which includes a lot of mental stimulation for them to be truly happy dogs. They need around 40 to 60 minutes exercise every day and they enjoy being out and about in the great outdoors although Chows really like being able to wander around a back garden too.
Because of their heavy coats, Chows can overheat very quickly in hot weather. It's important for them to be kept inside during the hotter summer months and to only take them for a walk first thing in the morning and then once the sun has gone down in the evening when the temperature tends to be a lot cooler.
Young puppies should not be given too much exercise because their joints and bones are still growing and too much pressure on them could result in a dog developing joint problems later on in their lives.
If you get a Chow puppy from us at Little Rascals we will give you a feeding schedule and it's important to stick to the same routine, feeding the same puppy food to avoid any tummy upsets.
Young Chows when they reach 6 months old can quite safely be put on two meals a day, but before this they need to be fed between 3 to 4 times a day.
Older dogs are not known to be fussy or finicky eaters. It's best to feed a mature dog twice a day, once in the morning and then again in the evening, making sure it's good quality food that meets all their nutritional requirements. It's also important that dogs be given the right amount of exercise so they burn off any excess calories or they might gain too much weight which can lead to all sorts of health issues.
Because Chows are deep chested dogs, they are prone to suffer from bloat and as such they should never be fed just before they go out for a walk or when they have just come back from one.
Average cost to keep/care for a Chow-Chow
If you are looking to buy a Chow, you would need to pay anything from £800 to over £950 for a well-bred pedigree puppy. The cost of insuring a male 3-year-old Chow-Chow would be £35 a month for basic cover or a lifetime policy, this would set you back £115 a month (quote as of April 2016). When insurance companies calculate a pet's premium, they factor in several things which includes where you live in the UK and a dog's age and whether or not they have been neutered or spayed.
When it comes to food costs, you need to buy the best quality food, we recommend Royal Canin, whether wet or dry, to feed your dog throughout their lives making sure it suits the different stages of their lives. This would set you back between £50 – £60 a month. On top of all of this, you would need to factor in veterinary costs including their second vaccinations, their annual boosters, the cost of neutering or spaying your dog when the time is right and their yearly health checks.
As a rough guide, the average cost to keep and care for a Chow-Chow would be between £100 to £150 a month depending on the level of insurance cover you opt to buy for your dog.

With petition signatures still being reviewed by the City Clerk, the election officially kicked off on Sept. 5. Assuming the petitions for most of those who filed are valid, this fall's ballot could be a long one.
Mayor Steven Fulop is seeking his second four-year term, and is opposed by Bill Matsikoudis, who served as corporation counsel to Fulop's predecessor, Jerramiah Healy. Former Assemblyman Charles Mainor, who announced last spring that he would run for mayor, later decided to run for the Ward A council instead and withdrew his name from consideration, then announced he will not seek a council seat after all.
Fulop was elected mayor in 2013 after serving for two terms as the city's Ward E councilman. He has announced that he will not seek a third term if he wins this year.
His campaign has focused on some of the successes of his first term, including expansion of the park system, an increase in police manpower, and the promotion of affordable housing. Fulop has also taken credit for expanding redevelopment beyond the waterfront, and development in Journal Square in particular.
The lack of development in Journal Square featured prominently in Fulop's 2013 campaign against Mayor Jerramiah Healy.
"I am excited about conducting a positive, issue oriented campaign." – Bill Matsikoudis
Matsikoudis has questioned many of Fulop's successes. He has issued a number of position papers that outline how his administration could do better.
"As we head into the homestretch, I am excited about conducting a positive, issue oriented campaign and explaining to voters our vision of how we can make Jersey City safer, more affordable and a better place to live for all of our residents," Matsikoudis said in a statement.
This sets the groundwork for what promises to be an intense campaign. Fulop has already come out swinging.
"When we took office, Jersey City was coming off a massive corruption arrest, with 35 elected and appointed officials from the previous administration being hauled off in handcuffs for bribery," he said. "My opponent was a senior advisor for that administration at the time. The city also had the lowest number of police officers in 20 years, no affordable housing plan, no recreation plan, and development only in one part of the city. We corrected many of these issues, but we still have lots of work to do in order to get to where we want it to be. This election is going to be a clear question on whether Jersey City wants to return to the days prior, when many of these issues existed."
For his part, Matsikoudis has blasted the Fulop's campaign fundraising tactics.
"The press continues to document how my opponent raises funds in a transactional manner while we continue to raise money ethically," he said in a campaign plea to his supporters.
Although both mayoral candidates are Democrats, this is a nonpartisan municipal election, although behind the scenes the Hudson County Democratic Organization and other political parties do work for the candidates of their choice.
This is the first Jersey City municipal election to be held in November in modern times after voters approved a referendum last year. The Jersey City election does retain a runoff provision, so a candidate must get better than 50 percent of the vote or face a runoff election between the two highest vote getters.
While this won't affect this year's mayoral race, it is expected to play a significant role in the council races, where in some wards as many as seven candidates are running.
Fulop currently has six allies on the nine-member City Council. This could change with the November election, since even the at-large seats which currently are in his camp face serious opposition.
Councilman Frank Gajewski, who represents Ward A, is not seeking re-election, but Ward C Councilman Michael Boggiano and Ward D Councilman Michael Yun are seeking new terms.
The Matsikoudis team
Running with Matsikoudis is a partial slate of council candidates. This includes Esther Wintner, who is running at large. Wintner has served as president of Civic JC, a group often critical of Fulop.
Also running at large on this ticket is Dr. Michael A. Winds, an administrator with the Jersey City public schools. Esmeralda Trinidad, who is also running at large, is a former vice chairperson of the Jersey City Democratic Organization.
This team also has Rick Johnson, a member of Mount Calvary Baptist Church who helped re-establish the Linden Avenue Block Association, running in Ward A.
Councilman Chris Gadsen, a vice principal at Lincoln High School, is running for reelection in Ward B.
Carmen Vega, who is running in Ward D, works at Meadowview Psychiatric Hospital in Secaucus.
Jake Hudnut, who is running in Ward E, is seeking to be the first openly gay city council person.
Yolanda Dortch-Amiker, who is running in Ward F, is a retired Army staff sergeant and combat veteran and founder of multiple non-profits helping veterans, ex-cons and victims of abuse.
The Fulop Team
Mayor Fulop has also fielded a partial ticket of running mates.
His three at large candidates include Council President Rolando Lavarro, Councilwoman and pastor Joyce Watterman, and Councilman Daniel Rivera, an emergency medical technician.
First-time candidate Moriah 'Mo' Kinberg , a former campaign manager for the NJ Work Environment Council ,will be running on this ticket in Ward D. Also running on this ticket is Ward F Councilman Jermaine Robinson and Ward A council candidate Denise Ridley, a marketing professional. Mira Prinz-Arey, a community activist, will run in Ward B.
Other candidates
Running as independents for at large seats are Brian Lane, who ran for council in 2011, and former Assemblyman Sean Connors.
In Ward A, Joe Conte, former Democratic chair in Jersey City is running for council as an independent.
Jessica Hellinger, a real estate professional, is running in Ward B.
Rekha Nandwani, a grass roots activist, is running in Ward C, as is John Hanussak, a member of the city's Rapid Response team, and A. Janet Chevres, a business analyst.
In Ward D, Rafael Torres, retired firefighter, and Carmen Vega, a former Jersey City Puerto Rican Day Parade president, are running for council.
In Ward E, the candidates are: Rebecca Symes, formerly general counsel for real-estate investment firm Dixon Advisory, who worked for U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand; James Solomon, at teacher at New Jersey City University and Hudson County Community College; Michael Billy Bisogno, a community activist; Madeleine Giansanti Cag, an attorney, and Nickolas Grillo, a community activist.
In Ward F, Tyrone Ballon, a terminal supervisor/dispatcher for the PATH system, Dennis Burgess , who runs a boot camp as Master Sup, and Michael Griffin, a café owner, are running.
The election will be held Nov. 7.

Today I am digging into the specific creation and "birthing" of man as God specifically tells us from each word he uses in Genesis. What I have been finding is very exciting to me because it reveals God's goodness. However, I will try to keep my excitement and emotions down. It seems the skeptics stop listening then. I simply want all to see what God's Word truly reveals about who he is and we can ALL celebrate him together instead of excluding others.
I want all of us to find the promised rest for their souls. Isn't this life so overwhelming at times?
How do we find the promised rest for our souls? Is this what Jesus meant when he said to "become like children"?
And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, 3 and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven Matthew 18:2-3
So, what does it mean to "become like children"?
Here are some thoughts to consider.
Does a child work for what they need? Or do they simply trust that their parents will provide for them?
Do children have very big and open minds and imaginations? They don't limit God and "possibility" like the "mature" grownups do, do they?
Could this be what we need to become in order to enter the Kingdom of heaven? How do we do that when our lives seem so chaotic at times and the stresses and pressures mount?
What if we don't? What if it isn't our job to "do it"? Wouldn't that be awesome to simply rest?Continue reading

When it comes to marketing a business, there are many different "proofs" that must be taken into account. Celebrity endorsements can work for brands with pockets deep enough to pay for celebrity endorsements. But for those smaller businesses that are operating on limited funds, there are similar proofs that can be done on a smaller scale. If you can prove why customers should trust you as opposed to your competition, then you stand to have a competitive edge.
A Picture May Be Worth 1,000 Words, But In Marketing It's Stories That Sell
Small Business marketing strategy rule number one
Un_Standard presents small business marketing strategy rule number one. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but in marketing it's stories that sell. How many times have you had to endure the trauma of sitting through a presentation of dull PowerPoint slides filled with data dumps or spreadsheets spreadsheets that make your eyes hurt.
Create A Culture Of Innovation At Your Small Business
Innovation might not be at the top of the list of priorities when you are setting up a new small business. But considering what is happening in larger companies like Google, you might want to reconsider and move "innovation" on to the list of top priorities. Google is shifting the way that they do business and that shift can give small businesses ideas on how to modify their own business models.
Time For A Marketing Makeover
There comes a point in any marketing campaign when it is time for a marketing makeover. It keeps things fresh and gets the attention of those that you want to (when done properly). One of the easiest places to start with your marketing makeover is with your online presence. If you need to spruce up your marketing, then creating a compelling web presence is a good place to start.
Fear of Risk and Business: The Scary World of Creativity
Businesses and their love/hate relationship with creativity
Business seems to have a love/hate relationship with creativity, innovation and fear of risk. They love the idea, but the whole process of bringing a new idea to market carries an element of risk. That's the part that doesn't go over so well. Business seems to be comfortable with processes and expected outcome, which is at odds with the whole creative process. I've seen companies try and embrace creativity, but only to fail by stifling the process.
Using Twitter for small businesses and what you should tweet about
Twitter is a great resource for your small business. It allows you to have a direct connection with your customers. But many entrepreneurs don't realize that it's a good idea to have a personal Twitter account that is visible to your customers. When checking brands out, people like to get an idea of the "brains behind the brand". It gives your customers the chance to connect on a more personal level. But it can be confusing as to what to tweet about.
The importance of visual identity in branding for small businesses
Branding for small businesses tips rule number one
Often times a company's brand is mistaken for its visual identity when developing branding for small businesses. A brand is much more than just a company logo. But that's not to say that the visual identity of a company is not important. The visual identity is what communicates the brand to the consumer. No one has doubted the power of imagery.
Marketing plans to keep your business running smoothly
We've all heard the arguments and excuses on why a business doesn't need to invest in marketing. After all, if you build it, they'll surely come, right? Why not concentrate on other more productive areas, such as sales? After all, marketing is just an expense, right?
Set Your Small Business Up On A Fast Track For Success
Nobody said that starting your own business was going to be easy. You're forced to face your limitations and accept that sometimes what looked great on paper can be not so great in real life. But establishing successes early on in the course of your startup can lead to even more success. It can be a huge morale boost, add credibility to what you are doing and encourage potential customers to check you out. But how do you set your small business up on a fast track for success?
The Small Business Mentors Every Business Owner Should Have
Running a small business can be very rewarding. It can also be one of the biggest challenges that you face in life. You don't always have the same resources available to you when you had your cushy job in corporate America. But now you're doing things on your own. It can be very lonely sometimes, as it seems as if there is nobody to turn to for advice. And that's where mentors come in handy.

Touched – What So Not
Between coming out with a new mixtape, releasing fresh material for his hip-hop project, What So Not, and playing shows across the world, Harley Streton (aka Flume) seems to be keeping himself real busy.
This new track combines the richness of Flume tunes and the hip hop / house sensibilities of What So Not, marrying tribally percussives and silky vocals with swaggering club beats. In some sections the result comes off a bit disjointed – but when they get it right, they really get it right.

SIMI VALLEY — Hundreds of journalists covered the GOP debate from the media filing center at the Reagan Presidential Library–and it seemed they could not get enough of frontrunner Donald J. Trump's onstage performance.
At each of Trump's quips–most at the expense of his rivals–waves of applause and laughter spread through the tent.
When Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) criticized Trump for attacking rivals on the basis of their appearance, Trump replied: "I never attacked him on looks–and believe me, there is plenty of subject matter there. That I can tell you."
The press corps roared with delight.
The laughter continued with Trump's jab at former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who interrupted Trump while he was replying to an attack. "Higher energy. I like that," Trump joked, silencing Bush–but lighting up the journalists.
Later, when Trump gave one of his more awkward responses–this time to Carly Fiorina's blunt reply to his reported comments about her appearance–the media tent still shook with laughter.
Whether that is because they are pleased to see him taking on fellow Republicans, or because they are genuinely enjoying his wit, is unclear. It is difficult to generalize, particularly at a Republican debate, where conservative media mingle among mainstream outlets.
Regardless, impressing the media is something few GOP contenders have managed to do in decades.

Though Marcin Gortat has been a solid NBA center for the better part of his career, his numbers are beginning to take a hit as he gets up there in age. Formerly a nightly double-double machine, Gortat has seen his playing time dwindle to 27.3 minutes per game in his 5th year with the Washington Wizards, though he remains a starter.
Though Gortat's contract with Washington runs through the conclusion of the 2018-19 season, it's safe to say he sees the writing on the wall. With the Wizards in Orlando set to square off against Gortat's former club, the Magic, the 33-year old Polish center had some interesting things to say about his future. Following from Orlando Sentinel's Josh Robbins:
Washington Wizards center Marcin Gortat said today he doesn't expect his NBA career to continue after his current contract expires following the 2018-19 season, and he added he would love to end his career with the Orlando Magic.
"I would love to join the team for maybe two or three months, or maybe half a season at least," Gortat told the Orlando Sentinel after the Wizards completed their shootaround Friday at Capital One Arena.
"I'm going to be a old guy, so I don't know if Orlando would be interested or not. But I would love to join the team back again just to wear the uniform, put the white and blue stripes again on me and be able to say I'm a Magic again and just come back home where I belong. That would definitely be a dream come true to do that for me. Whatever the team wants to do — play me, just be in the rotation or just be a bench player — I would definitely be there for the team."
Gortat's comments about his desires to join the Magic somewhere down the road qualify as slightly bizarre, especially considering he's still under contract with the Wizards for 2 more seasons. It's safe to say Marcin Gortat has a connection with Orlando due to them being the first franchise he was part of after a 2005 draft-night trade but these remarks can still be seen as out of line.
Gortat isn't the first center to dupe the Wiz with retirement talk, as there was a situation with Nene years back that was just as strange. Gortat remains one of the few tradeable assets the Wizards possess and his name has been brought up in past discussions to pair with a younger piece in a potential deal. It remains to be seen whether his latest comments impact his being shopped with the deadline quickly approaching.
Gortat also took to Twitter himself to discuss his comments regarding Orlando and his perceived disloyalty to the Wizards with a fan.
lol….dude I'm 34 in a month :) relax

A woman has been awarded $188,700 after a jury decided that The Upjohn Co. failed to issue adequate warnings about a cancer-treatment drug she had taken as a contraceptive.
The verdict, issued Tuesday, concluded the oldest pending case in Broward Circuit Court.
Filed 8 1/2 years ago, the lawsuit charged that a drug produced by the Michigan-based pharmaceutical company caused excessive bleeding in Anne Marie Macmurdo.
Macmurdo, 36, formerly of Broward County and who is living in Louisiana, claimed that complications from taking the prescription drug in 1974 forced her to have a hysterectomy. She was seeking $1 million in damages.
``Anne Macmurdo has been waiting nearly nine years for her day in court,`` her attorney, Mike Erikson, told the jury Tuesday. ``What you`re going to decide today will effect her for the rest of her life.``
He said that 25 percent to 35 percent of women who took the drug Depo-Provera experienced increased bleeding. But, Erikson contended, the literature accompanying the medication did not mention the hazard.
``She had a side effect that neither she nor her doctor perceived as related to the drug,`` Erikson said.
In 1982, Broward Circuit Court Mark Polen dismissed the suit, but an appeals court reversed the decision in December 1983. Then, another appeals court had to rule whether the two doctors who injected Macmurdo with the medication were wrongly named in the suit. They were dropped as defendants.
Upjohn attorney David Covey argued that the company never recommended Depo- Provera as a contraceptive. It was approved as a treatment for cancer, he said.
The drug, administered in large doses to a few patients, generated about $2 million in gross sales nationwide, Covey said.
``It`s ludicrous to claim Upjohn tried to hide the hazards,`` he told the jury.
Covey said the package insert was clearly and accurately written, outlining uses and side effects.

The day Fyxation announced their new Mesa pedal, Nick offered to send me a pair. I was stoked when they came in the mail a week ago and they've been sitting patiently waiting for my Bruiser build to be complete. In the meantime, I figured it'd be nice to shoot photos of them since they're really rad pedals.
Check out more photos below.
The surface pegs are molded with the rest of the body. They're nice and thick, which makes them perfect for a commuter, polo or fixed freestyle. If you don't like them, you can always chisel them off.
The Mesa is a sealed bearing pedal with a cr-mo spindle, ensuring a smooth ride once they're broken in.
They're wide like a BMX pedal but much thinner than most platforms.
I can't wait to try them out! Be on the look out for these soon at your LBS.
