Washington, DC - Mai Fernandez, Executive Director of the National Center for Victims of Crime was honored today with the Office of the Secretary of Defense Medal for Exceptional Public Service. The Medal and Citation were awarded in recognition of her work on the Response Systems to Adult Sexual Assault Crimes Panel and for her service as the Chair of the Victim Services Subcommittee.
The Response Systems Panel, appointed by Congress and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, was created by the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act to conduct an independent review and assessment of the systems used to investigate, prosecute and adjudicate crimes involving adult sexual assault and related offenses in the military. Panel members attended public and subcommittee meetings as well as site visits to military installations, hearing from over 400 witnesses and reviewing thousands of pages of documents. The Response Systems Panel's findings were presented in June of this year.
As the Citation presented to Ms. Fernandez includes, "She and other members of the Response Systems Panel consolidated and analyzed this vast amount of testimony and documentary evidence resulting in a comprehensive, well-reasoned, meticulously researched report with over one hundred recommendations to Congress, the Department of Defense, and the Military Services in the areas of the role of the commander in the military justice process; victim services and victim rights; and the investigation, prosecution and adjudication of adult sexual assault cases in the military."
The National Center for Victims of Crime, established in 1985, is the nation's leading resource and advocacy organization for crime victims and those who serve them. For more than 25 years, the National Center has led this nation's struggle to provide crime victims with the rights, protections, and services they need to rebuild their lives.

Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - Danek and David
David Kadera meets up with Danek Carka
David Kadera meets up with Danek Carka for a very good scene. Danek, our happy-go-lucky singer is at work in the boiler room when David arrives to service the boiler. David soon discovers how hot it is and asks for some water. Still rather hot he takes of his shirt, and receives compliments on his body from Danek. The two come together and start touching each other, and it isn't long before David has Danek's dick in his mouth. He sucks on Danek's cock and gets it nice and stiff. I must say David is certainly a great sucker, he turns Danek around and laps at, and kisses, his ass for a while. Danek then want to return the favor and finds that David is already rock hard, so he sucks on his meat. Then he bends David over and starts to rim his wonderful, muscular ...

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Tomas Spilka is aged 24 and lives in Michalovce in Slovakia. He is a student who enjoys Swimming, Boxing and Ice Hockey. Tomas is a stunningly handsome guy. He starts his erotic video by removing his tee-shirt to reveal a nice abdomen it with little fuzz on it, and then a lovely chest too. He delights in showing us his chest, as he rubs his hands over it and the presents his biceps for our delectation. Then Tomas starts to undo his belt, and with a teasing look turns around and pulls down his jeans, revealing a beautiful bubble butt, with a lovely tan line. Then his hands explore his ass, as he looks at the camera, as if it say "what do you think of this". We get a great view as the camera pans upwards from his hairy thighs, past that bubble butt to his magnificent torso and finally reaches his handsome face. Tomas then turns to reveal a glorious erect dick, not the biggest, but nice and fat, and a set of very large balls. Wanking his dick, as we get some more glorious views of his body, Tomas reclines and lifts his legs to expose his hairy ass crack. Removing his jeans and shoes Tomas wanks on his dick and spreads his cheeks to glorious effect. Pulling his legs back, with his arms through them so he can pull the ass upwards, and spread it wide apart we get the best view yet of his tight hole. Then Tomas changes position so that we can see he from below his ass, so we can see his face and his hard cock too. In that position he wanks himself to a climax and shoots a lovely load for us. Then he goes off to the shower. Tomas really does well in this video with a really erotic demonstration of his body, and as he finishes his shower he gives us his most winning smile.

You can also watch my Vlog for this Newsletter by clicking the video above or over at the Blog:
I've been working on editing Sneak Previews for the blog today. We are having problems with our old Blog video server, so we're using a new server for future video uploads. I'm having difficulty getting the video thumbnails to display, although the videos play fine. It's been quite frustrating. But we'll get there.
Today is like a blast furnace in Prague. Aida and I went to the park after lunch. It was so hot attendance was greatly diminished.
I've posted Part 3 of my Sneak Previews of our upcoming Wank Party. It was really great. I've enjoyed watching the rushes and making the previews. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy the final product when it's published soon.
We have four new, very nice shoots today.
Our Preview features Petr and Dalibor. As you'll recall, Dalibor was a total virgin, not just with guys, but total, when he came to us. Both these guys are very nice. Petr is a very experienced top. Love working with him. I'm sure he'll put Dalibor through his paces.
Jonas Vedral is aged 20 and lives in Brno. He is a student and he enjoys boxing and fitness. We can see in this stills shoot that Jonas' work in the gym has given him a very good body. He is also a handsome guy. I think some of the early pics, where he has his hoodie open, revealing his chest are wonderful shots. In fact the shoot generally is very good indeed, as Jonas adopts some very good poses, and shows himself off very well indeed. Standing there with a full erection and his hands behind his head he looks magnificent. His ass too is very attractive, with its hairy crack, and a couple of very hairy bushes around his taint. All in all this is an excellent shoot. I look forward to seeing Jonas' video shoot. He also recently did a wrestling shoot.
Michal Adamus is aged 18 and lives in Louny. He is a motor mechanic who enjoys cars, football and fitness. Michal looks good in this video which starts with him sitting on the couch, looking into the camera as he feels himself up, through his tee-shirt and pants. Then he stands up and continues, dipping his hand into his pants to feel his dick. Michal removes the shirt and then drop his pants, revealing a very nice dick and rather large balls. He quickly gets his dick very hard, as he wanks it, and then turns around and kneels on the couch to show us his ass. It looks very inviting, as he spreads the cheeks to give a very nice view of the hole. Then he sits downn and starts working on his cock again. As he gets hard a helping hand appears, and removes Michal's shoes and pants, and then starts to rub his body, covering him with oil before grabbing hold of his large dick and wanking it till it is rock hard. Then the hands lift up Michal's legs so we get another very long look at his tight little pucker hole as he wanks his dick. The helping hand then takes over the wanking, bring Michal to a very good climax, with a lovely pop shot all over his abs and up his chest. Finally Michal goes in the shower to clean himself up. This was a very good video, and Michal quickly moved to do a Broke Czech Guys with Dalibor Janek which was also very good.
David Kadera meets up with Danek Carka for a very good scene. Danek, our happy-go-lucky singer is at work in the boiler room when David arrives to service the boiler. David soon discovers how hot it is and asks for some water. Still rather hot he takes of his shirt, and receives compliments on his body from Danek. The two come together and start touching each other, and it isn't long before David has Danek's dick in his mouth. He sucks on Danek's cock and gets it nice and stiff. I must say David is certainly a great sucker, he turns Danek around and laps at, and kisses, his ass for a while. Danek then want to return the favor and finds that David is already rock hard, so he sucks on his meat. Then he bends David over and starts to rim his wonderful, muscular ass. Danek though is thinking of more than rimming and is soon fingering the hole as well, before standing up and sliding his dick deep into David's ass. He fucks him in that position for a while, getting the hole open very nicely. Then David sits on Danek's dick and bounces up and down on it, showing how much he loves to feel a big stiff one in his ass. Danek does some hard fucking too, in this position before changing to a spoon position to fuck him some more. For the finale Danek kneels over David and works on his cumshot, while Davide squirts over his abdomen and then Danek shoots over David's face. David loves that and takes Danek's dick in his mouth and does some fairly hard sucking to drag the last of the cum out of his dick. The guys gave us a really good scene which, I think, will encourage repeated viewings.
Igor Mukovsky and Petr Ovesny treat us to a wonderful soft duo. It starts with the very smartly dressed Petr being interviewed before Igor enters and sits next to him. They start to kiss, and for a self professed straight guy Petr goes at it with some gusto. Igor is a great performer and he gives newcomer Petr a very good lead. Petr drops his pants to reveal a massive dick, hard and throbbing, that Igor cant wait to get his lips around, even if it is a stretch. He sucks Igor with relish, and Igor responds by fucking his massive dick into Igor's mouth. Then Igor stands and quickly gets naked, showing that he too has a big hard dick, it is certainly a match for Petr's though not quite as thick. As the guys sit on the sofa Petr grabs for Igor's dick and then starts to suck him. For a novice Petr sure is a quick learner, and sucks the dick really well, as his own stands to attention and looks glorious in all its meaty wonder. Then the guys switch to a 69 with Petr on the bottom. Those dicks stay rock hard and each guy sucks the other. They change positions to that Petr is on top and fucks Igor's face while he sucks Igor's dick. Then with Igor's head hanging off the sofa Petr continues to fuck his dick into Igor's mouth and Igor let's go a huge cum shot that squirts everywhere. Petr wants a taste and goes down and sucks on Igor's spent dick. He is also ready to blow and releases all over Igor's face to bring us to the end of a wonderful scene.
My pick from the castings is Mykola. Strange story: He came to Casting while Dutch TV was making a documentary about our studio. He appeared in the documentary. And after the casting, we shot him then and there. I do like him, and he'

Michael Barrymore will discuss his fall from grace and the death of Stuart Lubbock, the man found dead in his swimming pool after a party, when he appears on The Jeremy Kyle Show next month.
The former TV star is taking part in one of a series of celebrity specials on the daytime show.
Michael's career was effectively ended when Mr Lubbock was found dead in the grounds of his Essex mansion in March 2001 with internal injuries suggesting the 31-year-old was the victim of a sexual assault before his death.
The entertainer, who has spoken openly about his struggle with drink and drugs, has previously described the events as 'just a party that went disastrously wrong, with a tragic ending'.
Other famous names lined up include former Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder, who will discuss his struggles with drugs, and Tara Palmer-Tompkinson.
An ITV spokeswoman said none of the celebrities would be challenged to take a lie-detector test – a common feature on the show.
Jeremy's confrontational programmes frequently feature families with difficult relationships and are often seen as an example of 'broken Britain'.
During a 2007 court case, after a guest headbutted a love rival who was also on the show, a judge claimed the programme was 'human bear-baiting which goes under the guise of entertainment'.
The shows will screen on ITV for a week from Monday, June 9 and also feature former Coronation Street star Liz Dawn and Michael Jackson's brother Tito.

Getting started with HomeFlip
Introduction:HomeFlip allow you to display and switch to recent tasks in a blink using a simple and intuitive interface.
HomeFlip act as a complement of your launcher (stock or otherwise) and is mainly aimed at peoples that are looking for an efficient way to switch between tasks quickly without having to go back to the main launcher or having to (very) long press 'Home' button to do so!.
- Automatically list recent tasks in a bottom up fashion.

A: This is a common mistake, simply install the "Search Clear Defaults" free application, run it and locate the app that is attached to "HOME" then click on it and select "Clear defaults"
A: HomeFlip theme have the following name patern: *.HomeFlipTheme.zip , so in some case, your device will already have an application attached to *.zip files by default. You simply need to clear the default of the application in question. Again, I recommend using "Search Clear Defaults" free application to spot and fix the problem.
Q: When I start HomeFlip, some or all my apps are invisible, what's wrong?
A: By default, HomeFlip only shows your recents tasks and your favorites, to display all installed applications, go to Settings / Show all apps.
Q: HomeFlip seems to lag something at startup, how can I improved things?
A: You can improve overall speed by turning some features off:
- Choose the default themes with theme variant 'Holo', this is the least demanding theme.
- Turn off label shadows.
- Turn on 'show only favorites'
- Turn off animations.
Q: I cannot see the Phone app.
A: The phone app is part of 'Contacts', so to access it from HomeFlip, simply look for 'Contacts'
Q: What the purpose of the permissions used by HomeFlip ?
A: The following permissions are requested by HomeFlip:
- GET_TASKS and REORDER_TASKS are required in order to enumerate and activate tasks already running on the device.
- READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is required to allow for custom themes and fonts import.
- SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW is required in order to support the swipe gesture to activate feature.
- VIBRATE is required in order to give haptic feedback when performing various tasks in HomeFlip.
Installation and setup:
|Assigning HomeFlip to the Home button.
Selecting HomeFLip , Always will now assign HomeFlip to your Home button.
From thereon, pressing Home once will trigger HomeFlip, pressing Home twice will trigger the default launcher (this can be changed in Settings).
|Basic gestures.
By clicking on one task, you will switch to this task.

When the first band takes the stage at this year's MAHA Music Festival (at exactly 12:30 p.m. this Saturday), event organizers can take pride in knowing they've pulled together a program that not only tops last year's event, but also establishes itself as the area's premiere indie music festival.
Lord knows, it wasn't easy. Along the way, their difficult path was filled with unexpected turns, frustrating indecisiveness, and last-minute demands. And though everything is in place just days before show time, as is the case with any outdoor festival its success is far from guaranteed -- even the best-made plans mean nothing in the face of monsoon rains.
But why even consider such a bleak possibility?
Regardless of the weather, they've got a lot to be proud of. Saturday's MAHA concert will mark the third-to-last appearance ever of Guided By Voices (see story pg. __), as well as a reunion of the original Cursive lineup (with powerhouse Clint Schnase on drums) and a rare Midwestern festival appearance by J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. It's going to be a veritable smorgasbord of classic indie rock.
On the downside: You won't see a single female musician on stage the entire afternoon. Not one. It's a fact that MAHA organizer Tre Brashear said couldn't be avoided, despite all of their efforts.
"Realistically, I think it shows how in demand female performers are," he said of the scheduling challenge. "We made several offers (to female-fronted bands) because we think it's important, but just couldn't get it done. Looking back, the time we 'lost' waiting for commitments that didn't happen impacted our ability to secure female artists, because those female artists were committing to other shows during that time."
In fact, Brashear said dealing with indecisive bands was the hardest part of piecing together this year's program. "We received several tentative commitments that ended up backing out," he said.
In the end, he was more than satisfied with the final lineup, so much so that this year MAHA marketed beyond the city limits. "We have advertised more nationally," Brashear said. "Also, our street team work has been much more regional, with people at the 80/35 Festival, Pitchfork, Lollapalooza and Kanrocksas."
But despite the extra marketing, ticket sales are "pretty comparable" to last year at this time, he said. "Although this is also when we see a surge, after people have seen the weather forecast and know that they have no other conflicts that weekend."
Brashear said ticket sales comprise roughly half of MAHA's revenue, with sponsors filling in the other half. "We don't have a set number of tickets that we have to (sell) to keep doing MAHA, but sales do matter in terms of showing that this whole effort is 'worth it,'" he said.
Keep in mind that MAHA is the product of a nonprofit organization -- it isn't designed to make money. The goal always has been to fill a void in the local music calendar for an indie rock festival. However, organizers don't want to lose money, either.
"Since we started doing this, much has changed," Brashear said. "There's Kansrocksas, Red Sky, indie shows at Stir, increased success by 1% (Productions). Heck, even Hullabaloo (held last week at River West Park) is meeting a need for 'camping and music,' Given all that, ticket sales matter because they show that people like our event and think it is different than what is out there. Positive comments in social media are nice, but people 'vote' with their money."
They also vote with sponsorships. MAHA continues to attract support from some of the area's largest companies, including TD Ameritrade (main stage sponsor), Kum & Go (local stage sponsor) and Weitz Funds. This year Whole Foods joined the project as a sponsor, vendor, even filling the bands' riders.
That extra help will come in handy, as the seemingly unending Missouri River floods forced the event from its former home at Lewis & Clark Landing to Stinson Park at Aksarben Village. Despite the benefit of Stinson's fixed stage, the move from the Landing will mean higher costs for things like fencing, generators and overnight labor (everything has to be cleared out by Sunday morning, in time for the weekly Farmer's Market).
Helping them figure out how to pull it off was last month's Playing With Fire concert that featured Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings -- an event that also had been moved from Lewis & Clark Landing to Stinson Park. By watching PWF, Brashear and his team not only saw how their event could look and sound, they saw ways to improve on PWF's event design.
"We learned that you need to work to integrate the east side of the area so it doesn't get 'forgotten' with all the activity on the north and west ends," Brashear said. "We also learned that the park is so big that you need to have a satellite beer/drink stand."
As a result, MAHA is moving the entrance and the drink ticket windows to the northeast corner of the park, on Mercy Street, forcing patrons to walk past the vendors, which this year includes Mangia Italiana, Parthenon and eCreamery. Featured nonprofit organizations, such as Omaha Girls Rock, Joslyn Art Museum and Omaha Public Library, will see their tents located on the park's east end to improve foot traffic in that area.
"As for the satellite drink stand, we'll have one located along the south side, in addition to the primary tent on Mercy Street," Brashear said. Refreshments will include Lucky Bucket Lager and IPA, PBR, Coors Light, Mike's Hard Lemonade, three kinds of premade mixed drinks, and for you teetotalers, Pepsi products, Red Bull, iced tea and bottled water.
Sounds like they got it all covered. Even Accuweather is predicting 82 and sunny. Will it be a record year for MAHA? Buy a ticket and find out.

Yelich uses pink bat to homer in front of mom in SD
SAN DIEGO -- Moms everywhere were on the Marlins' minds on Sunday as Miami wrapped up its four-game set against the Padres at Petco Park.

SAN DIEGO -- Moms everywhere were on the Marlins' minds on Sunday as Miami wrapped up its four-game set against the Padres at Petco Park.
In honor of Mother's Day, MLB has continued its tradition of allowing players to use pink bats to raise awareness in the battle against breast cancer.View Full Game Coverage
Christian Yelich, from Thousand Oaks, Calif., used the pink bat and collected two hits, including a home run, in Miami's 5-4 loss to the Padres. The blast to center field came with the 22-year-old's mother in attendance.
"Obviously, that's pretty cool," Yelich said. "That's the first homer they've seen me hit in the big leagues. It's got to be cool for them. I wish we would have won. That would have been a lot cooler. I'm sure they enjoyed that. I'm glad I could do it on Mother's Day."
Yelich plans on giving his mom the game-used bat, as well as his cleats, which flashed pink, the color of the day.
For the Miami players, the day also allowed them to give thanks to the women who are such big parts of their lives.
"It's cool," catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. "My mom, for what she's done for me, the sacrifices she and my dad have made. This day represents all they do."
A South Florida native and resident of Wellington in Palm Beach County, Saltalamacchia is now able to play in the big leagues close to home. A member of the 2013 Red Sox World Series championship team, the 29-year-old catcher signed a three-year deal with Miami.
Saltalamacchia, a father of three, purchased Marlins season tickets for his parents and his wife.
"It's been great to have my mom, my wife and everybody there," the catcher said. "They're at almost every game."
Saltalamacchia's family, like millions of others, has been impacted by breast cancer.
"I know how tough it is to be a mother, and to represent them is great," he said.
Marlins ace Jose Fernandez, who defected from Cuba at age 15, credits his mother for doing so much in his life. The 21-year-old makes Tampa, Fla., his home, and his mother also lives there.
"My mom has been there for a lot of things," Fernandez said. "She's been amazing, and I'm glad to have a good one."
Throughout the league on Sunday, MLB players used pink bats and recognized Honorary Bat Girls.
Miami's 2014 Honorary Bat Girl is Beth Armstrong, who has been battling breast cancer for three years. She is on a crusade to not only beat the disease but to help others in their fights. She's been active in fund raising for the yearly Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and she is an organizer for the FPL/Turkey Point team for the 2014 Homestead Relay for Life.
The Marlins will pay tribute to Armstrong on May 25 against the Brewers in the club's first Sunday home game back at Marlins Park.

So you say you've sent out 4 million resumes and have not gotten as much as a nibble? If you've got the right experience but you're just not getting your foot in the door anywhere, maybe there are problems with your resume. I recently asked TechRepublic members who are IT managers what kinds of things make them want to just chuck a resume in the trash.
You would do well to take a look at their comments and then go back and take a look at your resume. Are you guilty of any of these?
- Grammatical/spelling errors Too much information (or as GSG says, "I'm hiring you for a job. I don't want to know about your 4 kids, that they are (in your opinion) little Einsteins, your dogs, your husband/wife, or your hobby of knitting little stocking caps for the poor little cold kittens.")
- Information provided that the interviewer can't legally ask for (marital status, age, religion)
- Unexplained date gaps in work experience
- An overstatement of technical skills
- Bad formatting (TiggerTwo hates "the failure to place the most important information in the top third of the page, lack of white space, a bunch of keywords that appear to exist only to be keywords, failure to provide a skills listing, use of less than 10 point font, and use of a difficult-to-read font.")
- "If you can't tell from the resume alone if the owner is enthusiastic about (some aspects of) his previous job experiences, the resume is out."
- Not highlighting actual results delivered
- Overly long resumes. According to frostbite, "anything more than 2 pages is a hard read, more than 4 is a tome." Here's a link to the full discussion. You'll find lots of good advice from experienced IT managers.

MMA women's star Ronda Rousey says she loads up on sex before she fights
TORONTO - (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey, the first woman signed to the UFC, says sex and plenty of it are on her things to do list before she fights.
"For girls, it raises your testosterone so I try to have as much sex as possible before I fight actually," Rousey said on the "Jim Rome on Showtime" show Wednesday night.
"Not with like everybody," she added with a laugh."I don't put out Craigslist ads or anything. But if I've got a steady I'm going to be like 'Yo, fight time's coming up.'"
The mixed martial arts star was responding to a question about what how some boxers abstain from sex before fights.
The 25-year-old American, an Olympic bronze medallist in judo, is 6-0 in MMA with every fight ending in the first round via an armbar submission.
She won the Strikeforce 135-pound title but recently signed with the UFC and will help introduce a women's division to the promotion.
The sex query was part of a 10-question format on the show. One of the other questions was "Ever been in a fight with a guy?
"Yes. I got in a fight with a couple of guys at the end of 2007 in a movie theatre," said Rousey. "It was four couples, so four guys and one girl tried to get into it. And I had two friends with me. But I was only really handling two guys by myself.
"They sued me for assault because it didn't really go too well for them. I guess if you lose a fight in Santa Monica the next option is to sue. Everyone in the theatre was cheering for me. I was thinking I might have a future in this. It was before the whole MMA thing."

Fanny Blankers-Koen, née Francina Elsje Koen, (born April 26, 1918, Baarn, Neth.—died Jan. 25, 2004, Amsterdam), versatile Dutch track-and-field athlete, who was the first woman to win four gold medals at a single Olympics. She set world records in seven events.
Blankers-Koen first achieved success as a teenager, winning a Dutch national championship in the 800-metre run in 1935; the next year, at age 17, she placed sixth in the high jump and competed in the 4 × 100-metre relay at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Her time of 11.0 sec in the 100-yard dash in Amsterdam in 1938 tied a world record. She married her coach, Jan Blankers, in 1940. In 1942 and 1943 she set world records in the 80-metre hurdles (11.0 sec), high jump (1.71 metres [5.61 feet]), and long jump (6.25 metres [20.51 feet]).
Prior to the 1948 Olympics in London, some experts thought Blankers-Koen was too old to be an Olympic sprint champion, and others denounced her for not attending to her duties as a wife and mother of two. Olympic rules limited Blankers-Koen to participating in only three individual events at the 1948 Games. Despite her jumping records, she preferred track events and made them her focus. She won the 100-metre sprint by a comfortable margin, but in the 80-metre hurdles she had to overcome both a slow start and a bumped hurdle in order to secure a narrow victory. Despite winning gold in her first two events, an emotionally spent Blankers-Koen was not confident going into the 200-metre event. Feeling both pressured to win and reviled for even participating, she burst into tears and told her husband that she wanted to withdraw. She reconsidered, however, and went on to win the final by a decisive margin, despite muddy conditions. In her last event, the 4 × 100 relay, she received the baton in fourth place and caught the lead runner at the finish line. Nicknamed the "Flying Housewife" by the press, Blankers-Koen received a hero's welcome when she returned to the Netherlands.
In 1951, after the pentathlon had been modified to consist of the shot put, high jump, 200-metre sprint, 80-metre hurdles, and long jump, Blankers-Koen set the first modern pentathlon record, with 4,692 points. She failed to earn a medal in her final Olympic appearance in Helsinki, Finland, in 1952. In 1999 she was named the top female athlete of the 20th century by the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF; later called the International Association of Athletics Federations).

As I mentioned, there's a Mac and a PC version. I ran into some font issues on the PC and had to make a a couple of small changes to the PC version in order to get it posted without delay. There isn't a large difference, but the Mac version looks a little nicer.
When you download it and unzip it, you will see a file and a folder named Fountain Pen Inventory. The file is an alias to the main program file in the folder. I don't usually distribute my solutions as standalone runtime databases. I've tested it as carefully as I could, but let me know if you have any issues. Even better, let me know if you like it, too. There is no charge for Fountain Pen Inventory. It's my gift to the FPN fountain pen community. You can redistribute it to someone else, but are not allowed to charge for it, modify it or present it as your own work.
Enough of the intro, you can download it at: http://www.jonro.com/downloads/

I had my camera on board but wasn't really planning to use it until I saw how unnaturally clear the water was.
The water was a little chilly but she was still keen so I fired off a few images.
Shooting models is something I don't have any experience with but I like this shot as it is not a really posed image.
I would love some feedback.

Guiding Principles
As a residential liberal arts institution, Willamette University is committed to the ideals of both individual autonomy and community citizenship. This means that we recognize and seek to balance the rightful claims of personal freedom and privacy with the needs of membership in the campus at large. We understand students to be citizens of the Willamette academic community, having responsibilities to the whole in addition to rights as individuals. In particular, citizenship flourishes when members of the community live by standards of conduct that embody the ideals of honesty, integrity, civility and mutual respect. As a community of learning, dedicated to open inquiry, we must consistently work to put these ideals into practice.
The university is committed to educating the entire student; academically and co-curricularly. Students will engage in ways that will increase responsibility, autonomy, and self-discipline. Now, more than ever, students entering the Willamette community are expected to have earnest goals of self-discovery and maturity and should allow those goals to sustain community standards of conduct that reflect the values that we seek to instill. These values include: thoughtful respect for the rights of others, honesty and integrity in both academic and personal matters, and responsible behavior on and off campus.
Thus, the guiding principles of the judicial program are as follows:
- Regard each student as an individual deserving individual attention, consideration and respect.
- Consider the facts fully and carefully before resolving any case.
- Speak candidly and honestly to each student.
- Hold each student to a high standard of behavior, both to protect the campus community and to promote student personal and interpersonal development.
- Recognize the reality of human fallibility, as well as the stresses associated with collegiate life, and to demonstrate compassion, understanding and a sense of humor.
- Contribute to the educational mission of the University by designing policies, conducting programs and offering instruction that contributes to the intellectual and social development of the entire student body.
* This text was taken from the greeting of former Dean Robert Hawkinson in the Student Handbook.
Undergraduate education and the years of late adolescence are important times for the social construction of self and development of interpersonal relationships. While striving for independence, students hope to prove to themselves and to others their capacity for directing their own lives. The college experience provides students with a unique freedom to explore this independence. Such freedom, however, may create difficulties.
In order to sustain a living and learning environment that both challenges and supports the personal, social and academic development of our residents and their communities, students must hold each other accountable for the responsibilities and privileges afforded to them. Every member must assume responsibility for personal and group integrity and civility in order for the community to best meet its developmental needs. Each person must examine, evaluate and regulate his/her own behavior to be consistent with the expectations of the Willamette community. In cases where such behavior is not consistent with these expectations, the Willamette Campus Conduct Office may need to intervene.
The overarching goal of the process is to emphasize education by focusing on the growth and development of the individual student, encouraging self-discipline and fostering a respect for the rights of others. Often mediation and resolution at the ground level (i.e., in relationships built in residential communities) are the most effective means to achieve this objective. When this level of communication is ineffective or when situations need additional community deliberation, issues on Willamette's campus may be referred to the Office of Student Affairs. An individual or group of individuals may meet with administrators, support staff, or a student-run hearing board to determine a suitable response to a given issue. Regardless of the particular process, we strive to provide students with the opportunity to play an active role in creating restorative justice and making educated choices.
We seek to achieve the same goal: redirect the behavior of the students into constructive patterns and to protect the rights of the community.* The question becomes one of choosing the most effective means of maintaining conduct constructive for a university community.
As a final word, there is no substitute for fairness, objectivity and good judgment. The success of any behavior review is contingent upon our conviction to maintain a nurturing environment while affording individual students maximum personal freedom within community standards.
- The philosophy of conduct in the campus community is rooted in an educational framework. The focus is to foster the growth and development of individual students through the encouragement of self-discipline, accountability and responsibility to the University community. A respect for the rights and privileges of others at the core of this philosophy.
- The goals of this process are to redirect the behavior of students into acceptable patterns, to protect the rights and privileges of all students and to promote conversation, mediation, and educational sanctioning above all.
- It should be understood that there exists a fundamental difference between the nature of student sanctioning and that of criminal law. Behavior review is meant to be in accordance with the mission of the university. Judicial bodies are not designed to function as courts of law. The procedures are designed to treat all matters individually and to ensure fairness.
* Note that "constructive patterns [of behavior]" does not mean good (versus bad) or right (versus wrong) behavior, but rather behavior that will support and sustain positive community life according to the policy outlined in the Code of Student Conduct.
Principles of Developmental Student Conduct
The goals of the process:
- To prevent a student's inappropriate behavior from recurring in the future.
- To address the cause of the inappropriate behavior in order to help the student develop and become a positive contributor to the community.
To achieve these goals, the people participating in the process must keep several principles in mind, specifically those below.
Developmental Attitude and Manner
In order for students to believe in our purpose and the genuineness of our desire to help them develop, board and committee members should be sincere. From the initial confrontation by staff through the hearing and follow-up of sanctioning, the student must feel honesty, candidness, concern and respect from members of the board or committee. The use of manipulation, threats or intimidation is not part of the developmental process.
The terms we use also affect the way we are perceived by others. Below are two lists of similar words we use to describe elements of the conduct process. The terms listed on the right give the student the impression that the process is punitive. Such language does not support an atmosphere where open communication and resolution is possible.
|Developmentally Based
|Punitively Based
|Written up
|Conduct Hearing
|Student Referred, Accused
|Inappropriate Behavior
|Bad Person
|Responsible, not responsible
|Guilty, innocent
Win-Win vs. Win-Lose
In conjunction with a developmental approach to conduct, is an attitude of win-win. Win-win means that University staff feels reasonably sure that the inappropriate behavior will not continue and the student involved feels s/he received a fair response for the violation that occurred. When a win-win conduct process is implemented, both the community and the student are able to move forward with a positive, supportive relationship.
Respect for the Rights of the Individual
Respecting the individual's rights includes hearing the case before deciding on responsibility and only imposing sanctions on individuals that are appropriate to the violation. Even when the rights of the community are in jeopardy, the rights of the individual must be preserved.
Due Process
Student conduct processes must follow appropriate due process including some kind of notice of charges and the opportunity to be heard. When the potential sanctions are more serious (such as suspension or expulsion), the more process is due (such as the opportunity to hear and respond to all information presented).
Prompt and Fair
Student conduct procedures must be done in a timely and organized way. Hearings are most effective when held as soon as possible after the alleged violation, preferably within two weeks time. Fairness involves giving individuals on both sides of a conflict equal time to voice their concerns and to discuss the alleged violations. It should not be assumed that the student is responsible for the violation before hearing all of the information.
Consistency may not always mean equal sanctions for equal violations. Individual life circumstances, attitudes and stressors can be taken into account in a sanctioning process with sanctions imposed based upon the developmental issue the student needs to address as well as the impact on the community.
The "Teachable Moment"
Developmental conduct looks for the "teachable moment" - the point at which the student displays an interest in or ability to understand key developmental goals. All conduct processes, from conversations to hearings, must have as their goal the creation of the "teachable moment."
Student Orientation
A developmental conduct process reflects what is best for the student and the community. Questions like: "How can the student best benefit from this process?" "What does the student need to learn from this process?" and "What is an appropriate response to help the student advance developmentally?" are good questions to focus on during the hearing.
Appropriate Sanctions
As the student conduct process is considered an educational tool, the sanctions imposed tend to focus on what the student needs to learn from the situation. They may also focus on repairing harm to the community, to victims, and to the institution as a whole. The most effective sanctions are often those that address the cause of the inappropriate behavior and are directly related to student development. Sanctions imposed will be situational and depend on the student's attitude, commitment to changing behavior, level of self-responsibility and personal circumstances. The process focuses on helping the student understand his/her behaviors violated community standards and helping the person can avoid making the same mistake again. It is also focused on helping the student see how the instances of misconduct affect others. However, some violations may warrant separation from the institution. In situations involving weapons or violence, a primary concern is maintaining a safe environment. Therefore, an educational response may not always be appropriate.

The go-to mental image for summer camps is a group of kids and counselors toasting marshmallows around a campfire in the woods. The rustic, woodsy tradition depicted in "Meatballs" and "Salute Your Shorts" is still a part of many summer camps.
But summer camp is no longer just about lakes and lanyards. If your kids are more about art than Color Wars, there's a place for them. From science to snowboarding to magic, there's a camp for almost any kid with an itch to explore a favorite topic.
The American Camp Association — think "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" for camps — compiled this list of unusual programs where campers can learn about the deepest seas, the stars and everything in between. Many of these are so popular that they have wait lists long before the season begins.

Ireland: Death of Woman Denied Abortion Should Spur Reform

The tragic death of a woman denied an abortion in Ireland should catalyze the Irish government to fulfill its international human rights obligation to ensure access to safe and legal abortions. Savita Halappanavar, 31, who was 17 weeks pregnant, died from septicemia on October 28, 2012 at a hospital in Galway after she was refused an abortion and miscarried.
By permitting women who are entitled to obtain a legal abortion to do so, Ireland would be making progress on its pledge during its recent successful bid to win a seat on the United Nations Human Rights Council to strengthen human rights within Ireland, Human Rights Watch said.
"The Irish government knows full well what is required to meet Ireland's human rights obligations with respect to access to abortion, but has chosen to shirk that responsibility," said Aisling Reidy, senior legal advisor at Human Rights Watch. "The spotlight that one family's terrible loss of life has shone on this failing could help to end this unacceptable, damaging, and sometimes lethal state of affairs."
Halappanavar went to University Hospital Galway with pregnancy-related pains on October 21, and when she began to miscarry sought an abortion but was refused. She suffered a miscarriage and several days later died of blood poisoning. Three inquiries into Halappanaver's death – by the national Health Service Executive (HSE), the state Coroner's office, and the hospital itself – are underway. Abortion is illegal in Ireland in almost all circumstances, except where the woman's life is in danger, and patients and service providers face potential penalties of up to life in prison for procuring an abortion.
In 1992 the Irish Supreme Court ruled that a pregnant woman or girl whose life was in danger could legally obtain an abortion in Ireland, but successive governments have failed to legislate to permit women who are entitled to an abortion to access one. In December 2010, the European Court of Human Rights, in the case of ABC v Ireland, confirmed that the inability of girls and women whose pregnancies are life-threatening to access abortions in Ireland is a violation of Ireland's obligation under the European Convention on Human Rights.
Human Rights Watch' s 2010 report, "A State of Isolation," details the ways in which current abortion policies violate Ireland's international human rights obligations. No obstetrician or physician interviewed for the report was able to cite a single case in which an abortion had been legally performed in Ireland. The refusal of successive governments to provide adequate guidelines ensuring access to abortion, even in the limited circumstances contemplated by Irish law, means women living in Ireland are compelled to travel to access a basic medical procedure. Service providers told Human Rights Watch that significant numbers of women are not able to travel, and therefore are forced to carry on their pregnancies or undergo an illegal abortion. This group includes women who cannot afford to travel, some immigrant and asylum seeking women, and women too ill to travel.
"Ireland's restrictive abortion laws have meant women facing crisis pregnancies and serious health risks may be denied full access to health care, accurate information, and objective and complete advice on their medical options," Reidy said. "Abortion is an emotive issue in Ireland as elsewhere, but facing a difficult debate is no excuse for the government to maintain an abusive status quo that violates women's fundamental rights."
In January the Irish government established an Expert Panel to "elucidate" the implications of the ABCcase "for the provision of healthcare services to pregnant women in Ireland, and to recommend a series of options on how to implement the judgment." On November 13, Irish Prime Minster Taoiseach Enda Kenny informed the Dail (parliament) that Health Minister James O'Reilly had just received the report from the Expert Panel, but indicated no timetable of when he would present the report to the Cabinet.
On the same day that the health minister received the Expert Panel report, Ireland was elected to a seat on the UN Human Rights Council. During its campaign for council membership, Ireland made a commitment to the full promotion of human rights in its domestic policy and to uphold and strengthen human rights at home. Listing the core international human rights treaties to which Ireland is a party, including the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Irish government stated its "determination to achieve full respect for human rights in practice." However, over the past decade various Irish governments have ignored multiple appeals by UN human rights bodies to address the right to abortion amongst women's health rights.
In July 2005, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, which is responsible for monitoring compliance with CEDAW, reiterated its "concern about the consequences of the very restrictive abortion laws [in Ireland]." In 2008, echoing the call it first made in 2000, the UN Human Rights Committee, which oversees compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Ireland is party, expressed its regret that Ireland had failed to make any progress to ensure that women were not forced to continue with unwanted pregnancies. It urged the government to "take measures to help women avoid unwanted pregnancies so that they do not have to resort to illegal or unsafe abortions that could put their lives at risk … or have abortions abroad."
In 2011, the UN Committee against Torture noted that the "risk of criminal prosecution and imprisonment facing both the women concerned and their physicians" may indicate a breach of the Convention against Torture. The Committee said it was "concerned further that, despite the already existing case law allowing for abortion, no legislation is in place and that this leads to serious consequences in individual cases, especially affecting minors, migrant women, and women living in poverty." It urged Ireland to enact legislation to clarify procedures for accessing abortion, in conformity with the Convention.
"To win a seat at the Human Rights Council, the Irish government committed itself to fully promoting human rights at home," Reidy said. "Ireland's first act as a new council member should be to redress this urgent gap in women's human rights that previous governments have sadly failed to do, and that has had deadly consequences."

Min Pin - Chihuahua mix - small dog - big barking issue
Our male MinPin/Chihuahua mix (approx 2 yrs old - about 16lbs) has a barking problem. At home he is normally pretty well behaved, has a love/hate relationship with our 2 cats (which is a funny situation in itself).
Here is the issues:
A) 95% of the time anyone walks by our house he goes nuts! Barks non-stop, hair stands up on his back, throws and shakes toys, or whatever he can get his teeth on. This is 100% of the time when the person has a dog. He just goes crazy if he is outside for a potty break and someone is walking their dog by our house. We will try to run at the other dog, but has only once tried to nip. Also related to this - If he sees a squirrel (he knows what that means), or a cat outside he will paw at the windows to the point where he has damaged 2 or 3 screens for our windows. Sure these can be repaired, but why should I have to constantly dish out $ to do this....
B) If someone comes to the door (pizza delivery, mailman, etc.) he again barks uncontrollably. Guard dog instinct???? He did come through as a good guard dog last summer when some neighbourhood punks decided they would hop our fence and go pool hopping (2 nights in a row in fact) in the middle of the night. Good dog!
C) Biggest issue!!!! If we have friends, or family over (aside from a couple people who he is very used to now), he does the same thing - Non stop barking. It's an issue to the point of not wanting to have friends or family visit or stop by because he won't stop.
We have tried to squirt him with a mister/squirt bottle. Doesn't always work, in fact sometimes we have practically soaked him. Tried - citronella collar - didn't work well at all. Tried - sonic collar - he actually kept barking, totally oblivious to the beeping of the collar. We could here the beeps from the collar, but he kept going.
Other than getting Cesar to my house, or hiring a behaviorist (is that a word?), which we cannot afford, I think last resort is a shock collar. Do these work like they say on the packaging? What is a good one to get for him?
Any other suggestions?
I am pretty sure that the Min Pin - Chihuahua combination is a perfect mixture for lots of barking to begin with.
Good lord, I have the exact same breed mix with the exact same 'issues'. What I have noticed is that Julia's problem is actually fear based and not due to aggression. Though she appears relatively 'secure' she actually is not at all.
The issue with smaller dogs is that having hands on with them are not that easy as they will scurry to avoid any correction. I personally am no longer agile enough to bend down quick enough to correct...impossible.
What I have done however is bring her everywhere possible to get her more comfortable in different conditions and/or scenarios. This has helped tremendously where she is less reactive.
When I have visitors, I point to her crate and she will go in now. She will however bark and when she is calm, I invite her out. She needs to build a report with visitors which means I tell people not to look at her, nor talk to her and especially not to touch her. I ask them to pretend she does not exist. In a few minutes she will approach and react much better than she did (which was to take a bite).
It is work in progress. I will have Julia for 3 years this summer and progress has been slow. My BF who is a certified trainer has made progress with her since we have united our family together..so the improvement has been noticed more so now. Even at that, we still have issues with her in regards to charging dogs outside that are not within her pack.(yes she is leashed). This is something that we are trying to continue to correct as this could be very dangerous for her and the animals within the pack during our walks outside.
I hear your pain, but do not use a shock collar on these dogs. They are very delicate physically and emotionally. This will not fix your issue in fact it will make it worse.
Honestly - I would contact a trainer to evaluate the situation and provide training tips. You may not require a behaviouralist as a good trainer can teach you tricks to divert his attention and also show you how to correct little dogs properly.
well said ben max, i agree big time in the crate, as mine are barkers too, they need maners and to be taught, mine go in the crate when someone comes over and when they can behave they can come out, good luck to you ,brenda and the pins - 1
I am pretty certain after reading an article, and even watching Dog Whisperer, that this is a dominance (pack leader) thing that is causing the behaviours I mentioned. But still it has to stop somehow.
We want to go camping this summer with him, but can't if he does this. Last thing we need is for someone to get nipped, or have complaints about his barking all the time.
Maybe a behaviouralist may be a good option afterall in order to find out exactly what type of behaviours your dog is exhibiting. Unless you know alot about body language and what all signs actually mean - then seeking someone on the outside will be beneficial.
If you mis-diagnose exactly what types of behaviours and why this could actually can and will confuse the dog when you are trying to correct or help the dog overcome the behaviour.
Remember - when I say correct...again this is not to insinuate anything physical. Correcting can be done with absolutely no contact.
I just wanted to also add that alot of these collars or devices are band aid fixes that do not always work. Infact, the dog's behaviour can manifest into 'new' undesireable behaviours as a result.
We do have an expert here at Pets whose name is Tenderfoot. She may be able to help you pinpoint what type of behaviour being exhibited and how to remedy it. The most important thing is finding out what the root cause is before it is addressed.
Thanks for the referral, BenMax!
Small dogs can be yappy. They tend to have a bit of a Napoleon complex - they feel the need to make their presence known to everyone who enters their territory.
We are not big fans of calling these kinds of behaviors 'dominant'. It is more a matter of the dogs thinks that they are in charge of the house and that it is their job to alert the pack and the intruder of their presence. The dog is claiming the house as theirs. This is due to lack of structure, rules, boundaries and leadership in the dogs life.
Out of respect for you he should be quiet when you ask, not because he is afraid of a shock collar or spray bottle. This is about reclaiming your home and teaching your dog how to behave.
The first thing we talk about is recess. How much time is this little guy being engaged by you and how much time is he doing his own thing? The more time he spends in recess the more he believes he is in charge of his world and the more his brain is in the habit of being reactive. This kind of behavior is very reactive, often insecure and very adrenalin based. He doesn't even think about what he is doing - its just a knee-jerk reaction.
But if he is in the habit of listening to you because you are engaging his mind frequently throughout the day, then he will listen better when you ask him to stop barking. He will also start to look to you for advice when he is thinking about barking instead of impulsively barking without consideration for you. The more you act like a leader/teacher the more he becomes a student/follower.
Little dogs tend to be higher energy dogs, and each time they impulsively start on a barking rage the more adrenalin enters the brain and the more excited they become. But the more you engage their mind by asking the dog to do lots of things throughout the day the more calming chemicals like Seritonin are released into the brain and the calmer your dog becomes naturally.
We have to run to a training now and will check the board later. Let know us what questions you have.

Dog Training the Way Nature Intended
Thanks for the post Tenderfoot. As always, you are insightful and even just taught me a little something.
What about my theory on fear based behaviour. Do you see any of this in the OP's post? I am asking because alot of what she has written is something that I have been dealing with or rather dealt with in regards to Julia who happens to be the same mix breed.
Very true by the way about the Napoleon complex. I have seen this with many of the tiny breeds that I foster. Great point!
I know that your original question was to Tenderfoot but it sounds to me like a learned fear behavior mixed in with barrier frustration.
Barrier frustration develops when dogs are able to see people or other dogs move steadily in front of them and are unable to interact except by working themselves up through barking. Dogs are uncomfortable with direct fast movement or approach (i.e. a person walking briskly by with their dog) as polite canine body language dictates slow arcing movements with a series of stops and calming signals.
The dog perceives this pair as a threat and begins to alert. They, of course, keep moving by and out of the dog's sight. The dog learns "those folks were scary but I told them to leave and they went away" and this creates a vicious cycle of the dog becoming more and more worked up by seeing people through the window.
This then, understandably, magnifies when those people don't just pass by but actually make it into the house. Using aversive devices will only compound the problem by increasing the fear reaction. Punishing the behavior yourself will similarly have no bearing on your dog's emotional response and any "improvement" will only occur in your presence. The dog will quickly learn that it is only a bad idea when you're around as barking is a self-reinforcing behavior.
Your dog has learned to fear people through the window and strangers entering the house, if you can change their emotional response to these stimuli you will stop the barking.
People at the window:
Start by putting blocking out the windows where the dog can see out. This will help with the stress level and give you full control over what the dog will see. Using rewards, create mock scenarios where you have a friend or family member (one that the dog does not react to) walk slowly by a window and reinforce the non-reaction. *point of note* many small dogs have fairly poor distance eyesight. If your pup is still reacting in this scenario you may have to start by working even closer to the person, maybe even outside, so that they are recognizable.
Work up gradually. Add speed, funny costumes, multiple people, anything to build the complexity. If your dog starts reacting you have gone too far too fast and need to step back a bit.
This isn't perfectly analogous but here is a video on fear barking to sound. The principles are the same.
People in the house:
Many of the same ideas apply. Start by having family members come in and out, or even knock at the door from the inside. You want the dog to have no reaction. I know it seems a bit silly to reward them for something like a knock inside the door by someone they know, but you are conditioning them to have positive feelings towards every aspect of a guest's visit. The idea is that you will gradually build with more casual friends or costumes so that the dog is always comfortable. They will learn that strangers mean good things and that they don't need to protect you or themselves when people come over.
The other thing I would suggest would be to give your dog a job when someone comes in the door. A place command is very useful, as it is an activity that is incompatible with approaching the new arrival.
Again, take it in small steps
Think of it like getting over a phobia. If you were afraid of spiders would you rather:
work on it by touching a rubber one for a few weeks to gradually building to the real thing
have someone throw you in a tub of them so you could scream it out.
(and do you think that if someone kept throwing you in and telling you to "trust them, you'll be ok" that you would feel any differently about spiders?)
You want to set your pup up for success so until they are much less reactive I would suggest working on crating and take them upstairs (in advance) in a quiet room whenever you have guests.
Good Luck!
Very interesting millitntanimist! I will personally look into this.
Tons of great info!
Thanks BenMax
I hope it is helpful
So many people have different levels of experience and insight that it is always so welcomed to read different ways of looking at things and different methods to address.
millitntanimist & tenderfoot & BenMax:
Thanks for the insight. As stated in the last post, I will give specific examples of what our little guy is like.
The main issue is incessant barking.... but here it goes.
A) As mentioned, he goes crazy whenever some walks by the window, especially when there is a dog, or if a cat of squirrel is seen outside. He will bark a lot, and I mean a lot. Also hairs on his back will stand up. He usually grabs a toy (or sometimes a shoe), whatever he can get his teeth on and shake it around and sometimes throw it - surprising how hard he can throw things sometimes. He doesn't respond to NO, or a squirt bottle type of correction. I think for a while, my wife would grab him, and hold him and take him away from the window.
B) If my parents come over, or the pizza delivery guy shows up, he will again bark uncontrollably. Again, I could squirt him until he is soaked and it wouldn't phase him.
C) If we have him outside (not in the fenced backyard) for a walk/pee, whatever... if another dog walks by, it is instant - go crazy - bark - try to lunge at the other dog or person. Sometimes he tries to "hide" in the grass once he sees someone approaching from down the sidewalk before he starts his little tirade.
It seems the only time he doesn't "snap" is if he is exhausted from playing with the cats (or a family member who brings there little dog over sometimes), or running around a lot outside.
He isn't alone much (maybe 1 hr per day, at times a couple hours on the weekend).
He gets a fair amount of exercise and interactive time with us. He plays with the cats no problem, and they let him know when they've had enough (that can be quite funny). In winter - he does go outside much to run around, as it's been quite cold and very snowy this year (the snow is deeper than he is tall right now). I think a part of this is the result of him being babied by my wife. Letting him jump up whenever he wants, letting him lick (isn't that an "I own you" type of behaviour), etc.
He is only 2 years old, so I know we can "fix" these things, but it's been hard so far.
Is there any of questions I might be able to answer for our experts here?
We don't mind him barking once in a while, but we can't even talk to the neighbour outside without him going crazy the whole time. If he wants to bark to alert us to the idiots trying to climb our fence to pool hop at 2AM fine, we want that, but the other stuff is so frustrating.
A and C sound like barrier frustration and fear reaction, B is a transfer of that behavior (see above post for solutions). When did this behavior start (especially the barking at people entering the house)?
2 is the age of maturity for most breeds, which often means that this is when dogs become reactive to people or situations that bothered or terrified them as puppies. It also represents a progression. Instead of simply showing avoidance behaviors, they escalate and become pro-actively aggressive (because avoidance behavior did not stop the things that made them upset - they try harder to make them go away).
Your best solution is to change your dog's emotional response to the stimulus - when they are no longer afraid this will stop the barking.
I've had MinPins for years and what I do with mine is a three bark rule, and then I simply thank them for alerting me to the big danger out there and redirect them to something else, sit, down etc. Make it into a game and a job they have done for you. MinPins are notorious for barking and being little guard dogs, so reward your dog for doing so, only three barks! It takes time and work but it can be done.
When the pizza guy comes to my house, they all have to run and sit on the mat, thus they then get a treat, same if someone comes to the door. They are all little piggies and happy to work for treats. Make your little one work. You will be shocked at the difference, water sprays etc is nothing to the stubborn little *******s, BUT being as smart as they are, make it a game and fun, you will love the change in your dog.
MinPins are traditionally a working breed, make his little butt work!!!!
What are the chances introducing a second dog will help him mellow out?
A neighbour has to leave town, and they don't want their one dog anymore. She is a 2 yr old tea cup chihuahua - jack russel mix. I am dead set against having yet another animal (2 cats, plus crazy dog already). I don't see how this would help the situation at all. She is very calm, submissive, doesn't bark much, and is pretty much the same size. NOT FIXED.
As for when the behavior started - pretty much once he reached his full size. I try to treat him like a dog, my wife and daughter try to treat him like another child.
In all honesty unless you learn how to manage the barking and learn to accept some....Teaching your Pin to work and the other posters all have really great tips and insight for you to try.
The only thing you will succeed in doing is increasing your dogs barking because you are adding another pack member to protect.The dog will also teach the chi to bark more! If you are not willing to work extensively with both then don't get another one!Good luck!
Spot on, Rainy

Dog Training the Way Nature Intended
Good advice Rainy.
I have the same breed mix as the OP. I also have a foster shih zsu that would not bark, snarl or growl if his life depended on it....
Now fast forward to 9 months later - the shih learnt undesireable behaviour from the min/chi. We have been working on not one but now two dogs that feed off of one another. Having 5 dogs in total, it takes one little terror to get the whole pack going consisting of dogs from 5 lbs - 155 lbs.
Until you get this behaviour under control, do not bring in another dog. Things will escalate and you may be dealing with 2 dogs with bad behaviour rather than all concentration on one. Take it from someone who knows only too well.
My Chipin Barking!!!!!
I have the exact same problem. He barks at everything & tries to go after other dogs when we take him for a walk. What can be done??? When someone walks by our door he goes Crazy Barking... We live in a APT.
Help Pleaseeeee
