Hi and Welcome to where everything is Miniature!
Home of Miniature Schnauzers and Biewer Yorkshire Terriers. We are located in the outskirts of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in Western North Carolina. My name is Anna and I am a retired Dental Assistant, married with two children, Jordan 25 and La'Kayla 22 who share my love of caring and raising puppy's in-our-home. We are a small in-home based hobby breeder with over 10 years experience specializing in Toy Terrier Breeds. I grew up with dogs all my life and in 2003 started taking in rescue puppy's where we rehabilitated and rehoused them. After about 3 years of rehabilitating puppy's my husband and kids came to me and said they were sad and getting emotionally attached to the puppy's that were coming into our home and really wanted a pet to be a family member. So, in 2006 we opened our home to Jack Russell Terriers, Rocky and Lacey where we developed a passion for the Terrier breed. Terrier's have a distinctive personality, are feisty, energetic and require owners with the determination to match their dogs' lively characteristics.
After several years of owning and breeding Jack Russell's we retired our original crew to live out their pampered life as couch potatoes. Then our beloved Rocky passed on and Lacey was stolen and never was found. After a period of mourning, we started looking for another family pet and in 2014 came across the Miniature Schnauzer, a female Platinum Salt & Pepper and named her "Schnootie". It was fitting for she had an arrogance about her but in the cutest way! Schnootie started pulling on our heart strings and we just simply fell in love with the breed. There were not that many Miniature Schnauzers in the area where we lived and with their intriquing looks, spunky, playful and sweet-natured temperament that I felt this was a wonderful breed that other families would enjoy as an excellent companion and decided to breed Miniature Schnauzers. Not long after we expanded our family to include the Biewer, Biro and Ocean Pearl "Biewer Yorkshire Terriers" as we like to call them and we specifically raise the "Miniatures" of them all, because that is are personal preference.
Because we are a small in-home based hobby breeder there are times when we don't always have puppies available, but we have implemented a Wait-List, so you can expect to wait for our quality, healthy and partially trained pups. We raise each puppy and litter with daily care and attention and spend the same care and quality time finding loving committed forever homes to entrust them to. Our dogs are First and Foremost our family members! They are beloved members of our extended family and none of dogs are kenneled. We are blessed to share our lives with these fun, intelligent, very special and loving 4 legged family members and everyone has fun chasing rabbits, squirrels, lizards and the neighbor's cat with over an acre to roam around. We absolutely love dogs, So our babies are only adopted to approved homes and never to pet stores or brokers and come pre-spoiled, pampered with lots of hugs & kisses and ready to be loved by you!!

Care of Puppies....
All puppies are from AKC Registered parents and generally ready for there forever homes around 9 weeks for Schnauzers and between 11-12 weeks for Biewers. Puppies come with their tails and dew claws done unless requested traditional before birth. Now, there are some instances when removing dew claws on extremely tiny pups is not done due to their delicate size. We do not perform any cropping of the ears. Our Veterinarian performs a physical exam which includes checking for no heart murmur, lungs are free of abnormalities, no ear or eye infections, glands are normal, teeth and gums are in perfect condition for their age and a fecal exam to ensure they are parasite free, are sound and healthy puppy's by 7 weeks. Puppies are given dewormer's with Febendazole 2x and Pyrantel Pomoate 2x which treats for all four of the common parasites that puppies may have for a total of (4) four-times between 2-8 weeks at two week intervals. They are given their first initial temporary vaccination against: Distemper, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, Adenovirus-2 and Hepatitis usually referred to as a (5-way puppy shot) with Biewer's receiving (2) two-initial vaccinations. At one week prior to being ready to go home they receive their first puppy groom; bath, nails and puppy trim to potty patch area. If you are wanting a Puppy Schnauzer Cut I can do that for $25 extra. Then on the day before they leave us they are treated with Revolution their first heart-worm and flea preventative, this treatment is good for 30 days and you will need to follow-up with your Veterinarian to continue on Revolution or another preventive. This is our standard procedure on raising our dogs and puppies.
*Please Note* We do not allow for anyone to come, see or pick-out puppies in person and or visit puppies. On day of pick-up we will arrange appointments to receive your puppy. This is to protect Our dogs and Your puppy from possible exposure to illness and germs that could potentially be harmful. We do post pictures of puppies every 2-3 weeks (if permitted) until they are ready to go home.
Each puppy is sent to their new home with
a folder with pet records, copy of signed Health Guarantee Adoption Contract, Spay/Neuter Contract, Veterinary Statement Form and FYI puppy sheets.
Sample of Wellness puppy food a (3) three-day supply of a special blended mix they are accustomed to eating. You are required to continue feeding your puppy Wellness and/or another high quality puppy food. Wellness is rated 4.5 stars on a 5 star scale for puppy foods that has pre- and probiotics, no wheat, no corn or soy and the blended mix makes it a 5 star premium recipe packed with nutrient-rich ingredients that a growing puppy needs. If you decide to switch to a different high quality food then mix 1/2 our supply with 1/2 new brand until the Wellness mix blend is gone. This ratio is to lessen the affects of upsetting their delicate digestive tracts.
A plush bed, washable fleece blanket, teething chew and a stuffed toy with Dam and litter mates scent for a smooth transition into their new environment.
Potty Training
and we use the word loosely because training is a process that takes several months to fully complete! We start all puppies on crate, paper-training (news leaf paper) and introduction to outdoors to eliminate. We have a small fenced-in designated area where puppies are introduced to eliminating outside so that when they go to their new homes they are already familiar with going potty outside. We
do not
use puppy potty pads, piddle pads, wee-wee pads, training pads or other names for artificially enhanced potty training devices. Our reasoning is because puppies are like babies, they like to taste and put things in their mouths and these pads are made with chemical attractants, gauze and plastic which pose dangerous hazards to tiny breeds. They can choke on the plastic and become impacted from the un-digestible gauze not to mention the chemicals that are being introduced into their bodies. The use of these pads are inadvertently teaching your puppy to eliminate on a chemically treated square pad that can be a "
very hard
" habit to break and make potty training twice as long to accomplish. Because of these life threatening hazards we advise and recommend for you to use good ole fashion news leaf paper. *Note*If a puppy accidentally swallows a few shreds of paper, Well it will pass and will not hurt them.
Breeder Support: when you have questions or need helpful advice, give me a call. This is a very important part of raising a puppy and new families often need advice and information as they adjust with a new puppy under foot. Essentially, you are accountable for training your puppy to be a well adjusted family member!
Continued Care....
It is the Owner's Responsibility to continue to Care for your puppy once they leave us. This includes; wormings, checking for parasites, ensuring puppy continues to get all necessary vaccinations against: parvovirus, distemper, parainfluenza, adenovirus and hepatitis which is a series of 3-4, given every 4 weeks by the time puppy reaches 20 weeks old to be fully vaccinated and to get a Rabies vaccine. Rabies cannot be administered before 16 weeks old. Check with your county's/state's regulations on when to administer this vaccine. We will not be responsible for Any veterinarian fees or costs for your puppy.
The Owner should be aware that owning a puppy means: trips to the vet and understands that he/she is responsible for all payments. Even though your new puppy has been wormed and checked for parasites, keep in mind that your puppy may still have some worms or parasites and that all young puppies are susceptible to having worms, ear mites, coccidiosis and other parasites which can easily be treated. For these reasons, we'd like you to continue de-worming your puppy every-two-weeks up until the puppy reaches 16 weeks old and to contact your veterinarian for best schedule.
*Please do not expose your puppy to other dogs, puppies, dog parks, yards, pet stores, public places, friends or other family homes until they have been Fully Vaccinated, which is generally between 16-20 weeks old. Failure to adhere to this advice puts your puppy at a greater risk of contracting communicable diseases and illnesses including Parvovirus*.
We feed all our dogs from puppy to adults, Wellness a all natural complete health recipe that's for whole-body nutritional support. Our puppies are fed a special blended mix of; Complete Health Puppy deboned Chicken and Wellness Trufood Puppy Chicken with Chicken livers. This special blended mix recipe I use gives puppies a clean, nutrient rich superfood with pre- and probiotics that is balanced with no corn, wheat or soy. Our adults are fed a special blended mix of; Complete Health Small Breed adult Turkey and Wellness Core Ocean adult whitefish. This special blended mix recipe I use is packed with premium proteins along with nutrient-rich superfoods that provide for strong bones and have pre- and probiotics that is balanced with no corn, wheat or soy.
*When your puppy is eating solid foods they will be given NuTri-Vet Puppy; a weekly supplement that helps boost immunity and eliminate toxins*
A Homemade Dog Treat....
Peanut Butter Treats
This is a special treat Our dogs love!
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup peanut butter (creamy)
1/4 cup salad oil
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup water
Combine all ingredients and mix on low until mixed. Make into 1 tablespoon-sized balls (or any shape you like, have fun!) and place on uncreased cookie sheet. I then flatten balls to 1/4 inch using the tines of a fork. Bake at 325*degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Makes approx. 20 dog treats. *Note- some dogs are allergic to wheat, you can omit the wheat germ if this is the case*
Our Vaccination Schedule
7, 11, & 15 weeks: Distemper, Hepatitis, Adenovirus Cough, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus (5 way vaccine) no boosters are needed after the last vaccine.
8 & 12 weeks: Bordetella Vaccine (kennel cough intranasal) Only given if puppy will be boarded. Two doses should be given 2-4 weeks apart and 2-weeks before boarding.
5 months: Rabies Vaccine
1-year Only
followed by a second (1) one-year dose given within (1) one-year from initial dose. (no dose needed after the 2nd one)
Do not vaccinate puppies or dogs during times of stress such as: traveling, illness, infections or after surgeries.
This is the Vaccine Schedule we follow for all our dogs with Biewers starting initial shot after 8 weeks of age due to their delicate stature.
**Please Note** Many lines of Schnauzers, Biewers and Toy Breeds are sensitive to the Leptospirosis, Lyme and Corona part of combination vaccines, these may cause severe allergic reactions or even death. Therefore, it is not recommended unless you live in a part of the country where this disease is prevalent. We
Do Not
give these vaccinations to any puppy we place in homes and will not be held responsible if you give these vaccines to your puppy. If you find your area has ticks you can use Frontline Plus or any other good preventive for ticks, carrier of the Lyme Disease.
New Data
is proving that vaccines aren't as harmless as they once were believed to be including booster vaccines. There are reports of vaccines causing inflammation of the brain, allergies, skin problems, diseases, convulsions and other problems including death that are concerning. With a mild allergic reaction on one end of the spectrum to death on the other end, it's easy to see why opinions are so differentiated regarding, "What vaccine to give, When and How often?"
The American Animal Hospital Association's Canine Vaccine Guideline
(AAHA) Lists: Only (6)
that are
and they are: "Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, Adenovirus-2 and Rabies". Stating these are CORE (needed) vaccines and that the initial Rabies vaccination to be administered after 16-20 weeks of age followed by a second dose within (1) one-year from initial dose. Also stating that boosters and any other vaccines not listed are considered; NON-CORE vaccines (meaning not needed). *Information from the revised 2017 guideline*

Obama Admin Plans to Accelerate Acceptance of Syrian Refugees
Just since September ISIS has attacked Yemen, Egypt, Lebanon and most recently France. You would think all these attacks would change the logic of Obama's administration for inviting more Syrian Refugees into America. Think again.
In a story in the New York Post:
The administration is going ahead with its plan to admit thousands of Syrian refugees into the US despite the horrific attack in Paris — where at least one of the attackers is believed to have posed as a Syrian migrant to get into the country.
"We're still planning to take in Syrian refugees," White House national Security Adviser Ben Rhodes told "Fox News Sunday."
Rhodes, who is traveling with President Obama in Turkey, said there would be "very robust vetting" to "sort out that foreign fighter flow."
Referring to refugees, he said: "They are tragic victims of this conflict. They are women and children and orphans of this war."
Rhodes said the "careful" vetting would rely on input from "our intelligence community, our national Counterterrorism Center, the Department of Homeland Security, so we can make sure that we're carefully screening anybody who comes to the United States."
He made those statements on NBC's "Meet the Press."
US Rep. Pete King (R-LI), former Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, blasted the move as dangerous.
"There is virtually no vetting because there are no databases in Syria," he told Fox.
"We don't know who those people are. … They are rolling the dice here, and we know that ISIS wants to bring in terrorists with these refugees."
So never mind that the former Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee finds bringing in additional Syrian refugees dangerous. Never mind that several Republican candidates for president including Donald Trump, Sen. Marco Rubio, Sen. Ted Cruz, and Governor Huckabee have asked for a halt on any plans to bring additional refugees in. Never mind that the FBI Director, James Comey explicitly warned Congress in a hearing last month the U.S. does not have the ability to screen Syrian refugees because data on their background history does not exist.
Now even governors are speaking out against Syrian refugees as well, including Governor Rick Snyder.
Governor Snyder stated:
"Michigan is a welcoming state and we are proud of our rich history of immigration," Snyder said in the statement. "But our first priority is protecting the safety of our residents."
Amen, Governor Snyder. You are absolutely correct. We re proud of our rich history of immigration and our first priority is protecting our residents. The FBI and DHS have stated that there is NO real vetting process for Syrian refugees unless of course, you consider the process of giving your name and age a REAL vetting process.
All that I have to say is, wouldn't it have been nice for the American people to hear these exact words from our president instead of a governor. Never mind we get it. Too bad Obama doesn't.

Windows 10 Consumer Preview Leak : Better TaskBar, Cortana & Xbox integration
Most of the Windows fanatics have already seen a glimpse of the upcoming windows version in form of the technical preview release, however, the new leak will keep them more interested in the consumer preview which is set to go live on January 21st.
According to few sources and leaked images, Microsoft has lately been making a lot of changes in the new operating system and the UI. The new pre-release version of Windows 10 will come with a modern taskbar which will include a few animations in the taskbar switcher.
Along with the taskbar, Windows 10 will have an update UI for the control panel, which might just replace the traditional control panel we have been seeing since the launch of Windows 7 in 2009.
Build 9901, the leak, also shows that Microsoft has worked a lot in redesigning the apps with the Windows 10 style which makes it a bit better to experience. The best apps which have been redesigned include Camera, Calculator, Photos, Settings and Windows Store. The start menu has been redesigned further as compared to the one we saw in the initial technical preview release and it looks promising to the eyes.
Xbox integration with Windows 10
Microsoft has added new and improved Xbox app to the Windows 10 and this move is going to be a pretty big one. No one yet knows how the Xbox will be integrated with Windows 10, but inclusion of XBox head as the key speaker on January 21st event has surely excited a lot of people across the globe and everyone is pretty curious to know more about how Xbox and Windows 10 will have something better for the gaming enthusiasts.
Cortana with Windows 10
Another interesting feature to notice in the 9901 build is the voice assistant Cortana which is available on the desktop as well as with a few other apps. Well, Cortana doesn't seem to be working as of yet, but it is always exciting to see how this voice assistant will work out with the traditional desktop devices once it is launched with full Windows version.
The features seem exciting and they have been making a buzz already, however, for anything official, we will have to wait till the event on January 21st.
Stay Tuned..

Pool Land takes Ruffian
ELMONT, N.Y. - Pool Land joined trainer Todd Pletcher's roster of Grade 1 winning older fillies and mares on Sunday by overtaking Take D'Tour in upper stretch and drawing off for a two-length victory in the $300,000 before 5,856 at Belmont Park.
Take D'Tour, who had won the Shuvee and Ogden Phipps handicaps over this course in the spring, settled for second, one-half length ahead of Miss Shop. Classy Charm and Summerly completed the order of finish.
Pool Land is the third Grade 1 winning older filly or mare trained by Pletcher. Fleet Indian and Spun Sugar are the other two. Oonagh Maccool is a multiple Grade 2 winner in the division.
The Ruffian was the 43rd graded stakes won by Pletcher this year, his 12th Grade 1.
The Ruffian was the fourth win from six starts for Pool Land this year and her sixth from eight career races. Her biggest win prior to this was the Grade 3 Allaire Du Pont Breeders' Cup Distaff Handicap at Pimlico in May.
Pool Land finished third in the Grade 1 Go for Wand Handicap at Saratoga on July 30, a race in which she dueled with Take D'Tour early while stablemate Spun Sugar went on to victory. Pool Land finished third, 3 1-2 lengths ahead of Take D'Tour.
Sunday, Pool Land, under John Velazquez, stalked Take D'Tour and Cornelio Velasquez through fractions of 22.71 seconds, 45.79 and 1:10.38 before taking control of the race in upper stretch. Pool Land, a daughter of Silver Deputy owned by Eugene Melnyk Racing Stable, covered the 1 1-16 miles in 1:41.81 and returned $5.20 as the second choice.
"I was riding his tail the whole time and his horse was breathing pretty hard and the more I got closer to his tail the more he'd go," Velazquez said. "Mine was just handling it pretty easily. I had a long hold of her and she was going really good. By the three-eighths pole when I saw [Miss Shop and Summerly] come in, I give her a little bit and she went on."
Assistant Tristan Barry saddled Pool Land for Pletcher, who was away at the Keeneland yearling sales. Barry said Pool Land may simply train up to the Breeders' Cup Distaff at Churchill Downs on Nov. 4.
David Fawkes, the trainer of Take D'Tour, would have liked to have seen his filly go a little slower early, but overall was pleased with the performance. Fawkes said Take D'Tour would stay here for the Grade 1, $600,000 Beldame on Oct. 7.

A personal trainer in Irvine can provide you with that push you need to meet your exercise and weight loss goals. Whether you are simply wanting to slow down the ravages of time on your body, you are facing a serious health issue that can be helped with better fitness or you are determined to get into peak physical shape, a personal trainer can help you reach each of those goals – and more! Better yet, a personal trainer who is mobile so you do not have to take that extra step out of the process for you.
While gyms were designed as places for you to go to so you can take advantage of the equipment and plethora of classes, such environments can bring about their own level of stress and anxiety. When you are already unsure of your techniques, or if you are self-conscious about your weight, even the friendliest looking gym might not seem so to you. Instead, they could make it difficult for you to force yourself to get to the gym to get the exercise you need.
With your own personal mobile personal trainer in Irvine, however, you do not have to worry about the anxiety of going to the gym. Because he or she is mobile, your personal trainer comes to you – wherever you might feel comfortable. For some people, that could be in your living room or in your backyard. Others might feel more comfortable meeting at a park, on the beach or some other place where nature and fitness can come together to provide a productive session.
A personal trainer provides a complete and holistic experience. Because your fitness level is working in conjunction with your eating habits, your personal trainer in Irvine addresses both of these issues together. The result is a well-rounded plan that can be tweaked and updated when you need it to be.

How many digital pictures do you have? Have you ever counted them? It's easy! At the end of October 2009 I decided to keep track of how many digital pictures and videos I have on my hard drive. So, I hope to be able to provide an update at the end of each month and show you how many pictures & videos I have, how much space they take and how much space I have left on my main hard drive.
My digital pictures counter for March 2010
- Pictures & videos: 49,651
- Number of folders: 3121
- Total size: 132 GigaBytes(GB)
- Space remaining: 868 GigaBytes
- Change from last month: + 3018 files
- Size change from last month: + 5Gb size
Why the difference from last month?
During August 2010, we took 3000 pictures and videos. We didn't go anywhere, but we had two birthday parties and we took tons of pictures…as usual. The size increased by 5Gb, but now we have a lot more space since we have upgraded our computer and backup system to 1Tb ( Read How to setup your computer for easy backup) We were running out of room very fast and we bought a new computer and fitted it with an extra hard drive and new RAID backup system (Read How fast computer technology advances).
My computer hardware setup
I was finally able to setup our new Dell Inspirion 580s after outfitting it with an extra 1Tb internal drive. I have installed all the software we need and set up the daily automatic backup schedule. Everything is running pretty sweetly 🙂
As a summary, my new computer setup is as follows:
- 1 System hard drive – 320 Gb
- 1 Media hard drive – 1Tb
- 1 RAID 1 backup system (2x 1Tb hard drives that replicate automatically). I use the Western Digital My Book Mirror Edition (affiliate link) for backing up all our media files.
My photo gear
I do have the new Canon T2i (affiliate link) and loving it. In addition we have a Canon A570IS point and shoot that my wife loves. She still uses the DSLR camera sometimes, but the fact that the point and shoot is small and light makes all the difference for her. She uses it mainly to shoot lots of videos.

House overwhelmingly approves Medicaid moratorium bill
Rep. John Dingell (D-MI)
The House Wednesday approved by a veto-proof margin a bill that would delay the implementation of seven onerous Medicaid regulations until April 1, 2009.
Lawmakers approved by a vote of 349-62 Protecting the Medicaid Safety Net Act of 2008 (H.R. 5613). The legislation would place a moratorium on pending regulations that, among other consequences, restrict the use of the allowable provider tax and curtail Medicaid funding to government-funded skilled nursing facilities and other healthcare facilities. One rule that limits provider taxes was scheduled to go into effect on Tuesday. The Bush administration on Tuesday has threatened to veto the legislation, which now moves to the Senate.
Meanwhile, the Congressional Budget Office issued a report estimating that the bill, on net, would reduce direct spending by $3 million over the 2008-2013 period. Reps. John Dingell (D-MI) and Tim Murphy (R-PA) sponsored the legislation.

17 national anti-doping organizations have called for the ban of Russia from the Winter Olympics in 2018.
The call for a ban comes 5 months before the beginning of the Pyeongchang Games as the group believes the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) decision not to ban Russia from carrying out one of the biggest doping scandals as detrimental to the game.
The group, Nados, which the US and U.K. Anti-doping agency is a part of believes that Russia has to be punished following their involvement in doping in the 2014 Sochi games and have continued to fail in their decision to rid the sport of doping.
The group also stated that they had doubts about the state of doping at the 2018 Pyeongchang 2018 games which are set take place from 9-25 February.
New Report Indicts Russia
A report by the World Anti-doping agency showed that there was evidence of state sponsored doping in Russia and the IOC are yet to decided on the punishment to be meted out.
The commissions that were put in place in December last year are yet to decide on the state of Russia and there is a chance that Russia could get away with just a fine.
The vice-president of the IOC, John Coates, revealed that although the body had gotten information on the doping allegations, they needed concrete proof.
"It would be great if all this can be concluded before the Pyeongchang game and we are hoping that's the case," he said.

CHICAGO -19-year-old Esteban Sotelo (pictured above) is being held without bail, accused of shooting a 29-year-old father 6 times while he was putting his toddler in a car seat. Sotelo faces charges of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. The shooting took place Thursday and authorities believe that it was part of a gang initiation ritual for a 14-year-old boy who is also being charged with aggravated battery and discharge of a firearm.
The victim remains in Mt. Sinai hospital with wounds to his legs, back, neck and reportedly has a round lodged in his nasal cavity below his eye.
Sotelo aka "Sniper," is an admitted member of the Latin Kings gang and according to court documents, he and the boy set out Thursday with the goal of shooting a member of the rival Satan's Disciples gang. Assistant State's Attorney Heather Kent said that the shooting was part of the boy's initiation into the gang.
According to Kent, the victim was leaving his home in Little Village with his wife and 20-month-old daughter. As he tried to put his daughter in the car seat, Sotelo reportedly mistook for a member of Satan's Disciples. He asked the victim "what's up?" and then proceeded to shoot him 6 times. Kent said the victim shielded his daughter from the shots.
Sotelo was later apprehended by Chicago police and directed officers to a bag of mulch where he had hidden the gun. Multiple witnesses also identified him as the gunman.
Sotelo has a history of run-ins with the law. He's on probation for a felony cocaine-related conviction and there are two findings of delinquency as a juvenile for a 2007 robbery and a 2009 aggravated battery.

Despite the wins the brothers didn't get much time to relax and actually returned to training on January 1st as they begin looking towards their next bouts.
The match ups for both are expected to come in May with Naoya defending his world title, for the second time, and Takuma defending his OPBF title, also for the second time. The two men are making sure they don't get complacent and make it very clear that they aren't going to waste their talent.
At the moment it's unclear who either man will be fighting, though rumours have continued to circle that Naoya will be facing Omar Andres Narvaez either in the May bout, or in a Summer bout in the US, or David Carmona, a Mexican who fought to a draw last year with Parrenas in an interim title fight.

Warning: Frontgate is a high end catalog store, in my opinion known for its rather pricey although high quality products. Please know that the Frontgate Closet Ladders are being recalled voluntarily because of a possible fall hazard, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. These ladders can break unexpectedly, causing a fall. About 860 breakings and 28 minor injuries have been reported so far.
Approximately 38,000 ladders have been distributed nationwide. California-based Cinmar LLC sold the two- and three-step ladders in Frontgate stores.
As a San Francisco Dangerous Product Attorney, I encounter many product recalls and try to advise our readers when this occurs. In California the products we purchase and use should be designed and manufactured in such a manner that they are safe for our use and so that they perform as expected without danger of injury. When products fail due to a defect, in California we have strict product liability, meaning you do not have to prove negligence.
While usually our product liability attorneys get involved after the injury and our work is in making the product manufacturer accountable, I hope that by issuing early warnings, injuries can actually be prevented.
Those who purchased these ladders should stop using them and contact Frontgate for instructions on receiving a merchandise credit. Please feel free to contact me if you or anyone you know has been injured by one of these step ladders or any other dangerous product.

The instructor's guide is organized into the following elements: title of activity, duration of activity (four to nine periods), activity goals, four instructional objectives, related vocational clusters, and activity implementation (description, materials needed, safety considerations, teacher preparation prior to class, during the class, follow-up activities, and a question sheet to be duplicated). The student activity guide provides step-by-step instructions (narrative and illustrations) for completing each instructional objective (e.g., list the needs and wants that a product will fulfill for a customer). At the end of each set of instructions is a student check point (evaluation activity). An occupational description for a salesperson concludes the document. (JH)

Diverze Print are based in Leighton Buzzard, offering a range of different graphics services to local businesses, including printed paper and other substrates, promotional items and corporate gifts, graphic design and digital services.
Through our love of sport, and more specifically running and cycling, we have expanded our portfolio to offer bespoke sportswear to local clubs, businesses and charities. To help in promoting our new brand, we have created #TeamDiverze, which Michael Banks, director of Diverze Print, will be representing in 2017.
For 2017, Diverze Print has decided that our charity of choice will once again be the local charity, KidsOut whose mission it is to help give disadvantaged children positive experiences and the support in helping them become future useful members of both society and the workforce. You are able to read more about the fantastic work they do by visiting their website – www.kidsout.org.uk
As you will not doubt be aware, sporting events play a massive part in raising valuable funds for many worthwhile charities, and it is from this perspective that we have decided to use #TeamDiverze as the vehicle that we will try to raise the majority of the £5000 target that we have set ourselves for 2017.
For anyone that has ever trained for a sporting event will no doubt be aware there are many hours of work that go in to getting fitness up to the required level to complete the event, and it is this hard work and dedication, as much as completing the event on the day that many people reward with their generous donations through sponsorship.
In 2017, Michael will be taking on the London Marathon in April for the second time. After running his first and only marathon in London in 2015, it is an event that he loved doing due to the fantastic support offered by the thousands of people who line the street on the day – it's like no other event in the world!
After this he will be tackling one of the toughest events on the triathlon circuit – Ironman Lanzarote. For those not aware of what Ironman consist of, it is a three discipline event, consisting of a 3.8km swim (in this case the swim will take place in the sea), a 182.2km cycle ride, and to finish a 42.2km run (yes, that is the distance of a marathon!). The event has a time limit of 17 hours to complete, and Lanzarote is known as one of the hardest events on the Ironman calendar due to the many hills in the cycle leg, the relentless wind that whizzes across the island and of course the year round heat that you get in the Canary Islands.
Two weeks after the Ironman, Michael will then move on to the Tour of Cambridgeshire. On Saturday 3rd June he will take on the Chrono, a 26.55km time trial. Tis will be followed on Sunday 4th June by the Gran Fondo, a 120km bike race through Cambridgeshire.
Once these three events have been completed, Michael will take a short break before entering a few smaller events later on in the year.
As you can appreciate, the training required to tackle three energy sapping events is a big commitment, but one which Michael hopes can inspire you to sponsor his efforts throughout the year. Michael estimates that his total distance he will cover during 2017 will be 10,000km to give you an idea. We appreciate that money is not always in abundance, but if you are able to spare any amount to help this worthwhile cause then we appreciate it very much.
If you would like to keep up-to-date with Michael's training and events please visit either www.diverze.com or www.iamMichaelBanks.uk

ArtIcons Pro provides great opportunities for working with Windows, Android, iOS, Mac OS, web icons. You will be able to handle Windows 10 icons with ease. In order to make Windows 10/8/7/Vista icons compatible with Windows XP you can save them without any compression.
Windows 10 introduces a new style of iconography that brings a higher level of detail and sophistication to Windows imagery. First, the style of Windows Aero-style icons is more realistic than illustrative, but not quite photorealistic. The icons are symbolic images - they should look better than photorealistic. Second, icons have a maximum size of 256 x 256, making them suitable for high-DPI displays. These high-resolution icons allow for high visual quality in list views with large icons. Finally, wherever practical, fixed document icons are replaced by thumbnails of the content, making documents easier to identify and find. Thus, ArtIcons Pro is a beeline to refining the visuals of your program and making it more communicative for users.
A picture of a maximum size of 256 x 256 to be used as an icon, in principle, is supported by Windows XP, yet such an icon occupies 400Kb of disk space, which is far more than standard 25Kb of an XP icon. Aha-Soft has again found a way to cast off these shackles: Articons Pro uses advanced PNG compression to save images without losses and supports semitransparent images with 8bit alpha channel. That technology reduces the size of an icon only, leaving the quality invariable.
ArtIcons Pro will help you to obtain the modern Windows look. All you need is just to redesign your program's most prominent icons to use the Aero-style or Metro style. From this time onwards Windows icons crafted by Articons Pro will strongly impact users' overall impression of your programs' visual design. ArtIcons Pro will improve the usability of your software by making programs, objects, and actions easier to identify and find.

In a low-interest-rate environment, high-yield bonds are living up to their names, generating substantial interest income, says Mark Hudoff, portfolio manager of Hotchkis & Wiley High Yield in Corona del Mar, Calif. Even after defaults, investors still earned above-market returns that beat investment grade, he said. Indeed, his fund has had a trailing 12-month yield of 5.4% over the past year, according to Morningstar.
- Read more: 10 Biggest High-Yield Bond Funds
Currently, he says, high-yield bond funds are earning roughly 4 percentage points above Treasuries, and defaults are just above 1%. While high yield defaults are on the rise--estimates call for a rate of 1.5% to 2% before the end of 2015--they are still well below the long-term average of about 4.4%. All of that makes high-yield an attractive option compared to investment-grade bonds. Even if the high-yield funds take some defaults, say for 50 basis points, they still can produce as much as three times the yield of investment-grade bonds.
Income, while attractive, isnt the only reason to consider high-yield bonds. They also have a very low correlation with Treasuries an average of 0.4. Bonds rated single-B have an even weaker link to the Treasury market. Compare that to an almost one-to-one correlation between investment grade bonds and Treasuries, Hudoff says.
That being said, says Hudoff, High-yield bonds arent 100% immune from interest-rate risk. He expects investors to pull back from the category a bit when the economy improves and the Fed starts raising interest rates.
Mark Freeman, chief investment officer and senior portfolio manager at Westwood Holdings Group in Dallas, says his firm runs a short duration high-yield strategy, which has significantly lower interest-rate risk due to its short duration. In this yield environment, we think this is the smartest way to participate in the high yield space, as it manages downside interest rate risk while maintaining an attractive yield profile, he says. The fund has posted gains so far this year of 1.06% and a loss of 1.11% last year, according to the company's numbers. The fund saw gains in the previous two years of 5.15% and 6.08%, respectively.
Harriet J. Brackey, advisor at Hollywood, Fla.-based KR Financial Services, says she declines to recommend individual high-yield bonds, and only uses funds. Im an advisor, not a credit analyst, Brackey says. I count on fund managers who have boots on the ground and who are doing detailed analysis of these bonds day-in and day-out.
Multi-sector bond funds are one way to get a measured exposure to high-yield bonds, and are a vehicle favored by Gary Sidder, president of Life Transition Planners Inc. in Littleton, Col. The funds he chooses generally have a 15-35% exposure to high-yield bonds. A dedicated high-yield bond fund, he says, would tend to move much more similarly to a stock fund. The benefits of multi-sector funds are many, he says. This gives us some exposure to high-yield bonds, limits the volatility in owning dedicated high-yield bond funds, and further diversifies our bond holdings.

Arrow star Stephen Amell is proud of his fit physique, and why he shouldn't he be?
The 33-year-old father-of-one, who has shared a few videos of his intense indoor Parkour workouts, was asked to reveal the fruits of his labor at at San Diego's Comic-Con over the weekend, and after some heavy duty coaxing, he agreed.
Amell stars as a crime-fighting billionaire playboy in the hit CW show, now entering its third season. He'll also appear in the pilot episode of Arrow's spin-off series, The Flash starring Glee's Grant Gustin in the lead role.
Watch Stephen somewhat reluctantly lift up his shirt during the Warner Bros. Television/DC Entertainment panel at Comic-Con on Saturday afternoon.
And just in case you'd like to see another photo, here you go and you're welcome.

FINRA booted a former CUSO Financial Services advisor from the industry this week for allegedly participating in private securities transactions that resulted in two elderly investors losing more than $340,000.
According to FINRA's filing, Patrick Richard Harrison introduced the investors to an individual who purported to sell them discounted shares in a publicly traded regional bank. Harrison participated in phone calls with the investors and the securities seller about the investment opportunity, and assisted in having funds deposited with the seller and entities he controlled. The investors, however, never received any of their shares, losing more than $340,000, FINRA claims.
Meanwhile, Harrison purportedly received more than $14,000 from the securities seller.
In addition to participating in the transactions, FINRA alleges that he made material misstatements and omissions concerning the investment to the investors, including telling them that they could make a quick profit as a result of the discounted share price. He also allegedly failed to adequately respond to red flags that the investment opportunity was bogus, overlooking, for example, the securities seller's subsequent requests that the investors pay large additional amounts for alleged registration and other fees.
Harrison participated in the transactions without notifying CUSO Financial Services, violating rules that he do so, FINRA said. The alleged securities transactions occurred in April of 2014.
Harrison, who worked in San Diego, Calif., according to BrokerCheck, could not be located for comment. An email sent to him via BrightScope Advisor Pages, an online directory for financial advisors, was not returned. In his settlement with FINRA, Harrison neither admitted nor denied the charges but consented to an entry of FINRA's findings.
While FINRA did not provide details of the two investors, an entry in Harrison's BrokerCheck report noted that an 87-year-old client of CUSO Financial Services complained that she lost $15,000 when she purchased an investment that she believed was through CUSO. As an accommodation, CUSO compensated the senior for her loss.
"Harrison engaged in unauthorized activity and was terminated," said Peter Vonk, executive vice president of Business Services and chief compliance officer for CUSO Financial Services. "CFS cooperated with regulators in their investigation and a customer was reimbursed by CFS for her losses given her unique circumstances."
According to BrokerCheck, Harrison was dismissed from CUSO Financial Services in June of 2014.

The second in a three-part series, *_Building Community, Breaking the Cycle of Violence*_, this program dives deeper into the impact of domestic violence on children, and how early learned violence in the home connects to gang violence on the street.
Who should attend: Mental health providers, social workers, administrators from public and private agencies, law enforcement, and policymakers.
Keynote Speaker: Alyce LaViolette, MS, MFCC, will address the continuum of violence, from a victim/witness in early childhood to becoming a batterer. Ms. LaViolette has worked with battered women since 1978, first as an advocate at Women's Shelter in Long Beach, and then in private practice. In 1979, she founded Alternative to Violence in Long Beach, one of the first programs in the country for spouse abusers. She specializes in anger management, domestic violence counseling for survivors and perpetrators, and gender issues.
Other presenters include:
Tim Dennison, a former gang member, whose own experience of fatherhood has changed his perspective on violence; and
Dawn L. Brown of Girls & Gangs, who will discuss how to communicate with gang interventionists to help in domestic violence situations.
Workshops will also include the Project Fatherhood model and Domestic Violence Group Treatment Model for Adult Victims and Their Children, both established by Children's Institute, Inc.

Why Hiring an SBA Attorney is Beneficial
One who is a business owner may feel so much happiness and pride when he or she considers the great accomplishment that has been achieved.

Exceptional Leaders Enliven Vision through InfectiousnessThursday, April 23rd, 2015
In a recent post (March 26), I wrote about effective communication as one of the 12 behaviors of exceptional leaders identified by Travis Bradberry, president of TalentSmart & co-author of Emotional Intelligence 2.0. Today's topic is another of the 12: infectiousness.
Infectiousness isn't a trait that usually is cited as a key leadership skill, but I suspect it's because that trait is often described differently. It could fall under the oft-mentioned "charisma," "charm" or "engaging personality," or a number of other descriptors. Infectiousness also could be encompassed in other characteristics, particularly passion, which is another of the 12 behaviors on Bradberry's list. But I like the fact that he calls out infectiousness to stand on its own because unless the leader's passion is expressed in a way that employees "catch the bug," it won't have a lasting effect.
As Bradberry explains, "Great leaders know that having a clear vision isn't enough. You have to make that vision come alive so that your followers can see it just as clearly as you do. Great leaders do that by telling stories and painting verbal pictures so that everyone can understand not just where they're going, but what it will look and feel like when they get there. This inspires others to internalize the vision and make it their own."
Starbucks' Howard Schultz is a great example of infectiousness. First, he looks for employees who share his customer-centered values, including a desire to contribute to their community. Building on his belief that "people want to be part of something larger than themselves," new employees, or "partners," as Starbucks calls them, undergo 24 hours of classroom training. The company also pays for additional workshops and classes that partners choose to take.
New senior leaders are put through a four-month "immersion in the Starbucks culture" to ensure that everyone understands the coffee business from start to finish. And Schultz emphasizes the values that comprise the culture by sharing his "unbridled enthusiasm and love" for the company at regularly-held district meetings.
Quoting the Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, "The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision. It's got to be a vision you articulate clearly and forcefully on every occasion. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet."

Beautifully Remodeled Kitchen Expands Small Space
Ready to Remodel
A successfully orchestrated kitchen remodel can completely upgrade the livability of a home and this project is a great example. A compact house with a tiny kitchen, this was the perfect setting for a complete redesign. C&R Designers worked with the homeowner to determine her needs, hopes, and budget parameters. The result is a beautiful, functional and convenience-packed space. Before remodeling, the layout made working in the kitchen a real chore. The careful reorganization of the floor plan made better use of all existing square footage.
Starting From Scratch
The entire kitchen was deconstructed and rebuilt from the walls in. New insulation made the area much more energy efficient. A combination of semi-custom painted Maple cabinetry and open shelving provided storage and display space. New appliances were a welcome amenity.
Careful Choices Protect the Budget
Suede-finish laminate counter tops helped keep the project on budget while the tile back splash gave a look of luxury. A 24" Farm Sink contributed to the upscale appearance and the Chrome fixtures added a touch of bling. Now the window area is a lovely eating nook and the consistent wood flooring creates a cohesive flow between the kitchen, nook, and all living areas.
Details, Details
New Fir flooring was installed in the kitchen/nook area and mud room to match the existing floors in the rest of the home. Custom wood work was installed to blend nicely with the existing classic trim. A new full-sized refrigerator now occupies the space where an apartment style refrigerator had stood. In addition, cabinetry, counter top, and open shelving provide work space and decorative storage. The full-sized range was replaced with a compact model that allowed for more counter space. A floor to ceiling pantry expanded storage even further. A final coat of fresh paint throughout the remodeled areas completed the brand new look.
The homeowner is delighted with how everything turned out and is enjoying life in her "new" house!
Do you have a small kitchen that needs an inspired update? Call us today at 503-363-1343 or contact us online to schedule your free in-home consultation. Our experts will help you determine the best options for your investment dollars. Don't hesitate–when your remodel is complete you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner!

`Strangers coming to New York are struck with the fact that there are only two classes in the city -- the poor and the rich,`` writes James McCabe. ``The middle class, which is so numerous in other cities, hardly exists at all here.``
So what else is new? Precisely. McCabe wrote the above in 1872. He explained the absence of the middle class:
``Living in New York is so expensive that persons of moderate means reside in the suburbs, some of them as far as 40 miles in the country. They come into the city, to their business, in crowds, between the hours of 7 and 9 in the morning and literally pour out of it between 4 and 7 in the evening.``
McCabe`s Lights and Shadows of New York makes for wistful but strangely familiar reading 115 years later.
Do you feel your city is overrun with liberals and foreigners? The founders of New York, McCabe writes, ``were men of expanded views, liberal feelings, and never dreamed of questioning any man`s inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness among them whether he first inspired the common air in Holland, England, Abyssinia (Africa) or Kamchatka (Russia).``
New York was a refuge for those who fled the Old World and those who couldn`t stand, say, the witch-burning Puritans of New England. Toleration also made for the city`s curious anonymity:
``People live for years as next door neighbors without ever knowing each other by sight,`` McCabe reports.
In 1872, Greenwich Village had already established its reputation. On Bleecker Street, ``That long-haired, queerly dressed young man, with a parcel under his arm, who passed you just then is an artist, and his home is in the attic of that that tall house. You may dress as you please, live as you please, do as you please in all things, and no comments will be made.``

Indonesia is home to an incredible abundance of wildlife that, over centuries, has adapted uniquely to its environment. This lesson plan gives students the opportunity to create a virtual zoo from the animals of Indonesia. Students will discover how some of these animals have adapted to their environment in an extremely unique manner. Each student will be responsible for researching an animal(s), locating where it exists on a map of Indonesia, and report this back to the class. This is a collaborative project in which students will use the Wild Indonesia tapes, the Internet, and CD-ROMs.

**We use caregiver and care partner interchangeably**
The information provided is a starting point for some of the more common experiences you may encounter on your journey with early onset Alzheimer's disease. The Gayle Wells Foundation for Early Onset Alzheimer's & Care is here to help you along this journey. We can provide you with "What to Expect" tips and suggestions as you notice new symptoms being exhibited by your loved one. We can assist in finding local community and medical services within your area. We can provide additional ideas and suggestions for home safety guidelines, behavioral situations, personal care activities, and other concerns you encounter as your loved one progresses through this disease. Do not be afraid to ask—that is why we are here.
Being an advocate for your loved one will be one of the most important and loving gestures you can do for them. As the disease progresses, your loved one will not be able to speak up for themselves in times of crisis or when they know something isn't right. You as their care partner know them better than anyone else. You are the one with them on a daily basis. You will come to know what triggers many of the behaviors. You will come to know what makes them calm and safe and you will know what agitates and scares them. YOU are the authority on your loved one.
There is no pre-determined path for how any one person will experience early onset Alzheimer's disease. While we can explain the stages, common symptoms and behaviors, your journey and that of your loved one with the disease, will be uniquely yours. As a caregiver, you may get upset with yourself for not knowing how to handle certain situations or not being able to anticipate what will happen next. Please do not get upset with yourself. There will be really good days and there will be very difficult days.
Lessons from Gayle: Gayle would tell you that while the journey through Alzheimer's is full of uncertainty, some things are certain throughout the disease. Never lose sight of the following:
- Your loved one is still here, despite the changes in memory and behaviors associated with the disease.
- Say "I love you" at least once a day
- Your loved one did not choose to get this disease
- What is gone is gone; focus on what remains. Your loved one is fighting hard to do the best they can with a disease they have no control over.
- Advocate for your loved one at all times
- A kiss is still a kiss
- A hug is still a hug
- You are stronger than you know
- Lean on others for support
- Be patient with your loved one and yourself
- Breathe

The title "A Walk with the Master" was chosen because in ancient times, if a student was working hard to learn the Masters art, the Master would take them aside and instruct the student to: "walk with them". It was during these walks that the Master would talk with the student about the principles, philosophy, and theories to help them better understand the art they were learning. Such moments were often the highlight of a student's training life.
In Level I you will learn the theory, movement and breathing techniques associated with each of the Qigong programs. With practice the many benefits which the programs give you will become more and more apparent. We look forward to being here to support you in your experience and in your journey.
