My philosophy is quite simple. For dog training to be successful it must be positive, meaningful, and above all else, fun for all parties involved.

One thing I have taken away from my previous K9 titles is that because of the obvious nature of that line of work, it was so serious all the time. Don’t get me wrong – I enjoyed it and am proud of my service to both my country and the people of the United States, but it definitely left something to be desired when it came to the overall relaxed and goofy atmosphere I enjoy when training.

That is why I enjoy working with family dog(s) so much. It can be just as rewarding, but it doesn’t have to be so serious. When you meet me you will see what I mean.

Remy Hair Wigs

clipper's remarks: The absolute best type of hair used for a wig - these are always gorgeous.

Clip Source: bestwigsforwomen.com

Remy hair (or Remi Hair) is the best type of real hair wig you can buy. It is considered top of the line, premium hair because the cuticle is left intact and all the hairs are woven in the same direction on the wig or extension. This means the hair moves and behaves exactly like real hair should.

Remy hair wigs are the most natural appearing wigs on the market and, because of this, are often the most expensive. The quality, however, is well worth it. One full lace Remy wig takes about 30 hours to handmake! Remy hair is young, healthy hair, it’s strong and will last a long, long time. Remy hair is the top choice for celebrities, in films and for women with medical hair loss.

Virgin remy hair has never been processed — no color, perms or other chemical treatments, just 100% virgin hair. Non-virgin remy hair has has some processing, usually a color treatment.

Obama's Gay Outreach: All Talk, No Action

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:23:52 GMT

clipped by: clip-on-tie
clipper's remarks: Well, just as I predicted, last night when he the addressed the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, the all but de facto gay auxiliary of the Democratic National Committee, the President got his “standing ovation“.* The “cheering crowd” gave the Democrat a warm welcome even as he acknowledged “some policy changes he promised on the campaign trail are not coming as quickly as they expected.“

Promises, promises, but not a plan. That’s not enough for many gay activists, but it will win over the Washington-based leadership of HRC and other gay groups, ever eager to sing the praises of a politician with a (D) after his name who says the right things to their audiences. Of course, to those activists, with highfalutin language and that (D), it really doesn’t matter what he does.

Once again, it was typical Obama, lofty words with little to show for them.

Sickening. Wake up gay lefties....wake up.

President Obama waves as he arrives at the 13th Annual National Dinner of the Human Right Campaign October 10, 2009 in Washington.

Saturday night President Obama charmingly delivered a rather bleak message to the gay community on the eve of its latest march on Washington. In a speech to the world's largest gay political group, the Human Rights Campaign, Obama essentially said two things: I'm with you. But I can't do much for you.

As usual with this President, all the cadences were right. "It is a privilege to be here tonight to open for Lady Gaga," he ad-libbed, again a deft and knowing line for an audience probably as eager to hear her performance as his.

Obama patted himself on the back for his party's passage earlier in the week of a a hate-crimes bill that, for the first time, includes gay and transgender people.

Obama did pledge — as he has before — to end the Pentagon's don't-ask-don't-tell policy. But once again he said nothing specific about how he plans to do that

A terminally ill girl is back with family and friends - thanks to FedEx

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:30:20 GMT

clipped by: clip-on-tie
clipper's remarks: I don’t mean to use a human tragedy for political message purposes, but this had me crying with pride and sympathy – it is just touching. Sadly, it fits all too well with the current debate over government control vs individual choice (and responsibility).

This giving part of America is poised to be snuffed out by Obamacare. Companies can decide on their own when it is time to just fill the need and forget the bottom line, as Fed Ex did in this case. I have no doubt a US Post Office manager or worker would jump into the breach and do the same if they could. But the difference here is a government run entity is bound by libraries full of regulations. They cannot make an exception, they cannot redirect resources. They cannot perform the simple act of human charity without permission.

This little girl’s family did not have time for a waiting list like the long one in Canada. And the evil private company (for profit) stepped in and made it happen.

Waaaahhhhhh corporations....wahhh

Doctors discovered 7-year-old Jada Harper's inoperable brain tumor in July. She went through treatment in Little Rock, then in Houston, Texas. After Jada didn't respond well to the treatment and went into a coma, her parents wanted to bring her home to her loved ones. The problem was getting her back to Arkansas.

"She's a loving, sweet, always cared more about anybody else but herself, always played with whoever needed to be played with. She just loved everybody," said Jada's mom, Savannah Surface.

Just one of the people involved in finding that flight was Jada's principal, who got an e-mail update about the effort to bring Jada home.

Martin had called someone she knew at Fed Ex.

The day after her initial phone call, Jada and Savannah were on an air ambulance to Harrison, the $11,000 tab paid by FedEx.

A Teachable Moment: Police Authority and Racism

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 21:11:53 GMT

clipped by: foxyarse
clipper's remarks: I know from experience that taking on the persona of a law-enforcement officer results in a surge of internalized boldness; it’s just part of the job. At times this is a necessity because police officers often find themselves in situations where a high degree of assertiveness is all that stands between them and losing control of a situation. I also know from personal experience that if police officers are not constantly reminded of the dangers of crossing the line through their use of their authority, then abuse of their power is a virtual certainty. Further, as with any minority (and police are a minority), associates tend to stick together. That police will back up one another, even when their fellow officers are wrong, is as dependable as sunrise.

A Teachable Moment: Police Authority and Racism

by Charles D. Hayes posted on Saturday, 1 August 2009

As an ex-police officer, I have a unique perspective about the subject of police authority and racism, especially after having distanced myself from the profession with an aggressive thirty-year history of studying the antics of human behavior. One of the things that psychology has made clear about primates and humans is that males in positions of power experience a rise in testosterone. Put a low-level male in charge of a group, and in time he will blossom into an alpha male with the appropriate level of hormones for the job. This also applies to females, perhaps to a lesser degree. Put a badge and gun on a man or a woman, and in time a bold persona becomes part of a law officer’s personality. It begins to feel right, and it defaults to overt assertiveness when one’s official authority reaches into gray areas.

So Lucy Wasn't the Oldest Human-like Creature ...

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 17:27:58 GMT

clipper's remarks: This new discovery looks intriguing, especially because it may still not be the oldest one. There might be found some that may be seen as "The Missing Link" of Charles Darwin's theory.

Clip Source: news.nationalgeographic.com

Scientists today announced the discovery of the oldest fossil skeleton of a human ancestor. The find reveals that our forebears underwent a previously unknown stage of evolution more than a million years before Lucy, the iconic early human ancestor specimen that walked the Earth 3.2 million years ago (interactive time line: how the new discovery changes human evolutionary theory).

The centerpiece of a treasure trove of new fossils, the skeleton—assigned to a species called Ardipithecus ramidus—belonged to a small-brained, 110-pound (50-kilogram) female nicknamed "Ardi." (See pictures of Ardipithecus ramidus.)

"This find is far more important than Lucy," said Alan Walker, a paleontologist from Pennsylvania State University who was not part of the research. "It shows that the last common ancestor with chimps didn't look like a chimp, or a human, or some funny thing in between." (Related: "Oldest Homo Sapiens Fossils Found, Experts Say" [June 11, 2003].)

clipper's remarks: Discern with reference to the weight of Applicant Tracking Software and it's task in increasing the productivity of HR team. Applicant Tracking Software has been a strategic factor in acheiving the HR objectives in any organization. All the corporates have started using this system for quality human resouce management.

Clip Source: applicantrack.livejournal.com

An organization has a need to hire workers as per its requirements. This can be done by the hitherto well known system of advertising vacancies, screening the resultant applications for right candidates. Nowadays screening can be done by computer software systems. Such a soft ware is called Application tracking system abbreviated as ATS. This is basically a database management program where resumes of all applicants are stored systematically. The current trend is to make ATS an online program, which means both advertising and receiving a resume can be done on line within a short time and applicants can sign up for jobs quickly.

"It’s The Vaccines Stupid!"

clipper's remarks: "By countless scientific accounts, far more dangerous to human health than any reported incidences of Swine Flu are the dangers of severe health issues including paralysis, brain damage and even death arising from what is added to vaccines by virtually every major vaccine maker. Almost without exception, all commercial vaccines today contain various substances known as adjuvants designed to make the vaccine “work.” These adjuvants are the source of horrendous and sometimes deadly damage."

Part I: Evidence Linking Autism Rise in Children to Vaccinations

The WHO and US Government CDC are escalating a public psychological conditioning to create hysteria and panic among an uninformed public about an alleged “virus” H1N1 Influenza A, aka Swine Flu, whose alleged effects to date appear comparable with a common cold. Before people line up in the streets demanding their vaccinations for their children and themselves, it would be wise to remember, to paraphrase a 1992 campaign statement of Bill Clinton to George H.W. Bush: “It’s the vaccination, Stupid!”

It has been speculated for some time that there might be a link in the alarming rise in cases of autism among tiny infants and children and massive multiple vaccinations today given routinely to infants and children from the first hours of birth. There is clear and shocking evidence of the link between the two. If you do not have a strong constitution, you are advised not to read further.

Self Proclaimed Multitaskers Aren't that Good at Multitasking

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 21:36:11 GMT

clipped by: billpar
clipper's remarks: Anyone who claims they can multitask is LYING. The human brain cannot multitask, PERIOD.

You might think you're multitasking, but you are really switching between tasks in your brain. Every time you switch tasks, your brain has to reload the context of what it was last doing on that task. This is not a big deal for small tasks, as the state information is not that much. But the bigger (conceptually) a task is, the longer it takes to reload all the state information into your brain, and the bigger the efficiency hit against you is.
If you find that you can do things no problem by switching tasks, it most likely means that what you're doing is not that mentally demanding, or you are not being effective in what you're doing. A perfect example is if you are surfing the web, watching TV, and twittering at the same time. You might be able to do all 3 of those tasks at once, but no one can argue that any of those things requires more than a sliver of brainpower.

Self-Proclaimed Multitaskers Aren't That Good at Multitasking

When co-workers claim they can do only one thing at a time, do you silently smirk from behind your multiple monitors and tabbed browser windows? Psychologists suggest you're the one who actually rates lower on straight-up memory and attention tests.

Does frequent multi-tasking actually dull one's ability to focus and concentrate, or is someone who seems to have a lower capacity for attention and memory drawn to a more compatible, quick-hit, multi-tasking work style?

We don't have those answers, even if we've previously pondered the stigma of "information overload."

Multitasking leads to half-assery and that is the bottom line.

I have been asked during interviews if I was able to multitask and I always responded the same way. I do not multitask, I prioritize items as they come in and address them individually.

I don't know that anyone really "multitasks". People focus on one thing at a time.

More on the Whackjob Science Czar the MSM Ignores

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:10:24 GMT

clipped by: merrie
clipper's remarks: President Obama’s top science adviser, John P. Holdren, advocated the “de-development” of the United States in books he published in the 1970s.

In the vision expressed by Holdren and his co-authors, the Ehrlichs, the need for “de-development” of the United States demanded a redistribtuion of wealth.

“The need for de-development presents our economists with a major challenge,” they wrote. “They must design a stable, low-consumption economy in which there is a much more equitable distribution of wealth than in the present one. Redistribution of wealth both within and among nations is absolutely essential, if a decent life is to be provided to every human being.”

Holdren, who is director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, made these comments in the 1973 book “Human Ecology,” which he co-authored with the Ehrlichs, long-time advocates of curtailing population growth.

And Terry Jeffrey reported:

President Obama’s top science adviser said in a book . .

Do you agree that musing about forced abortions, mass sterilizations, and poisoning the water supply to control the population is in the mainstream?

Do you think the president should employ a man who pays homage to a population control zealot who views the global population as a “pulsating mass of maggots?”

The news staff at CNS did some new reporting the MSM won’t do on Holdren. It’s not just Ecoscience that Holdren co-wrote with the Ehrlichs.

Christopher Neefus writes about Holdren’s views on “de-development” in the 1973 book, “Human Ecology:”

“A massive campaign must be launched to restore a high-quality environment in North America and to de-develop the United States,” Holdren wrote in a 1973 book he co-authored with Paul R. Ehrlch and Anne H. Ehrlich. “De-development means bringing our economic system (especially patterns of consumption) into line with the realities of ecology and the global resource situation.”

The Myth of Progress

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 11:06:46 GMT

clipped by: abailart
clipper's remarks: <<<Solitude is inimical to power, shuns power, seeks its own progress. A progress that is an illusion, enhancing the few and fooling the masses, is for the solitary the opposite of progress, for it does not consult nature or quiet the mind in order to begin reconsturcting the self. But the theory of progress is an old device masking power, and concealing what the 20th century creative souls — and those brave 19th century figures like Kierkegaard and Nietzsche — unmasked as lies about human nature.

What is the alternative to progress for the grand institutions of today? It is a devolution to simplicity, to individuals and small social units, to natural industry and exchange, to a relationship to nature based on value and not exploitation or power. The alternative to progress is a devolution of artificial wealth, privilege, and legitimacy.

Clip Source: www.hermitary.com

A theory of linear succession or progress has been the premise of Western philosophy of history from the beginning of the Christian era and on through today. In the earlier form, taken from biblical sources, the line went from creation to fall to redemption to apocalypse

Renaissance and Enlightenment, the same point of view is merely secularized, and progress is recast as the evolving of reason, knowledge, discovery, and technological advancement. In the 19th century, Hegel established the framework for a philosophy of progress, and Darwin’s theory of evolution provided a scientific confirmation, especially for the nascent sociology of the time.

the pragmatic theory of progress is functionally contrived by those few who would benefit from the extension of the instruments and institutional structures of progress (economic, financial, political, military, educational, etc.).

An Open Letter to Closed Minds

clipped by: thisnamecantbetaken
clipper's remarks: A challenge to orthodoxy tends to be ignored at first. But if it gains popular support, the first move is to discredit and silence the challenger.

“Belief” is the crux of the matter. No amount of evidence will change the consensus view until a sufficient number “convert” to a belief in the new theory.

“It gets worse. As the evidence accumulates, the two camps will not only fail to reach consensus but actually be driven further apart - propelled by their different views ..And worst of all, there is no prospect of such a consensus unless the two sides can agree about the cause of the data.” Such a conclusion bodes ill for any attempt to change the status quo.

An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents. What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarized with the new ideas from the beginning.”

Applicable to both science and religion, I reckon.

An Open Letter to Closed Minds

A widely-accepted foundation stone of scientific logic involves a process of elimination, requiring all available possibilities to be considered with incorrect ideas discarded when they fail to predict experimental results.

a leading group of concerned scientists

questions a core belief – the belief in the so-called big bang theory.

Already, the first line of defense – censorship – has held. The journal Nature rejected the letter for publication

"You could write the entire history of science in the last 50 years in terms of papers rejected by Science or Nature." – Paul C. Lauterbur, winner of the Nobel Prize for medicine, whose seminal paper on magnetic resonance imaging was originally rejected by Nature.

That scathing commentator on errant human behavior, John Ralston Saul, has compared the scientific community to the medieval church

Hobbits 'are a separate species'

The one metre

tall, 30kg

humans roamed the Indonesian island of Flores, perhaps up to 8,000 years ago.

Two papers in the journal Nature now support the idea they were an entirely new species of human.

The team, which discovered the tiny remains in Liang Bua cave on Flores, contends that the population belongs to the species Homo floresiensis - separate from our own grouping, Homo sapiens.

One team

analysed remains of the Hobbit foot

The group found that, in some ways, it is incredibly human. The big toe is aligned with the others and the joints make it possible to extend the toes as the body's full weight falls on the foot, attributes not found in great apes.

But in other respects, it is incredibly primitive

that resembles that of a chimpanzee.

So unless the Flores Hobbits became more primitive over time - a rather unlikely scenario - they must have branched off the human line at an earlier date than Homo sapiens.
