Mistakes Guard Dog Owners Make In The Early Training &; Selection Processes

When I picked up Jack for the first time, a rotund little lab who was black as midnight, I just knew he’d be the perfect guard dog. He wasn’t a traditional guard dog breed, mind you, but I wanted a dog that would also be a good family pet. I went right out and bought his studded black collar, intending to make him look even more ferocious, and put it on his little three month old neck. He looked fierce. He was ready for action.

As the months passed, my ferocious guard dog began to show that he was afraid of my other dog (who was half his size and a female), trusting of everyone, and slow to bark at anything. He also loves to give kisses to total strangers and didn’t bark once when my car was stolen right out of my yard not long ago. Yes, that’s my hero and the defender of my home. I love him, but he’s about one hundred pounds of sweetness. Reminds me a bit of an overgrown toy poodle. Oh well. He’s still a fun pet.

So what did I do wrong? Well, upon further research I discovered that apparently you can’t just go out and buy a scary-looking dog and put an intimidating collar on him. That is, not if you expect it to do anything in terms of defending your home. Dogs have different personalities, and some just aren’t naturally aggressive. Don’t let the size of a dog fool you, as I did. Jack was a monstrous puppy and he did grow up to be extremely strong and muscular. Too bad he’d probably try to cuddle up to an intruder. Upon my research, which I conducted in case I should actually look for a real guard dog in the future, I discovered that there are three main problems that dog owners can make in that crucial early training period (the first six months). If you have no desire to spend hundreds of dollars on an overgrown lap dog, read on.

The first major mistake that guard dog owners make is procrastination. It’s as simple as that. If you neglect to train you guard dog immediately upon taking him home, you’ll never be able to instill those values and boundaries that are so essential to a dog that is going to be permitted to protect your home. Immediately upon taking your dog home, give him two or three days to get comfortable and learn about his surroundings. Guide him with a leash around his new yard, and absolutely no further. Do not let him leave the yard during the first month or so, and do make sure to walk him around those exact same boundaries on your property every single day (or twice a day, if you have the time). Also, start your training process by teaching the game of “retrieve” a few days after he has arrived and become familiar with his new place. Tossing a ball and teaching your dog to retrieve it instantly teaches him to be in pursuit. Next, let your dog become familiar with noises that are ok, and those that aren’t. For example, try leaving your dog in the living room while you go into a side room and loudly tap the wall. He should learn to respond. When he does, praise him and give him a treat. This will teach him that he is doing the right thing by checking on noises that are not familiar to him (something that probably would have been great for Jack to have known how to do when our car was being stolen).

The second most common mistake that I have come across is seeing guard dog owners try to instill aggressive behavior in their new pets. We’re talking about animals here. They are naturally protective. They have instincts that tell them to guard their boundaries (which is why it is so important to teach them what their boundaries actually are at a young age, as mentioned above). Guard dogs are meant to know when to attack, not to attack at all times. This is where we see the problem of overly aggressive dogs, especially in breeds that are already naturally more aggressive than others. This brings me to my next point. After the gathering of the information about the washing of the face, there can be asking of How can I use a warm washcloth to clean my dog’s face. The answer to the question will be yes.

Finally, you can easily make the mistake that I made by assuming that because a dog looks a little scary, he’s a natural born killer. Ok, it was a little dumb to assume that a dog that descends from a breed known for being friendly and lovable would be a great guard dog, but his looks were deceiving. I have since learned that not even all traditional guard dog breeds, such as rottweilers and bulldogs, are always going to be a sure bet. Ask your breeder to choose an intelligent but dominant puppy for you, regardless of the breed. He/she has access to the litter from birth and will know the different personalities of each pup before the new owners come to pick them up. If you’re not using a dog breeder, you can use a simple test to find the most aggressive of the litter. Stand in front of the group of puppies and see which ones attempt to greet you first, and note which ones are more shy. Out of those that approach you, select the two that are vying the hardest for your attention. Out of these two, note which one seems more alert and aware of his/her surroundings. This is the puppy you want. This same test can be applied in cases where the entire litter is not available for selection purposes. In the pet store, you can simply see if the dog will approach you at all, and if his/her ears perk up to certain noises. Bad choices include dogs that cower away and those that lie uninterested in what is taking place in their environment.

Remember, training your guard dog begins with his/her selection. After you have chosen the ideal pet, preferably one that is not overly aggressive but is alert, start training it three or four days after it comes home. Set those boundaries early, and reward your pet for good behavior, progress, and earnest attempts. If you don’t adhere to these guidelines, well, maybe I could set your dog up with Jack for a play date when it’s older. They can give each other kisses and happily wonder together why their owners seem so confused.

Fender Standard Ash Telecaster Guitar Review

Fender is known for offering as many versions of their Standard lines of instruments as possible. This applies to all of their guitars, including their Stratocasters and Telecasters. They are designed to give the consumer a little bit more in features and quality than the average Standard version. Usually, the toy does it with relative success. One example of these modified versions is the Fender Standard Ash Telecaster. Let’s take a closer look at it do see just what makes it different and how I came across this amazing guitar variant on HappyNewGuitarDay.com.

Features: The key feature of the Ash Telecaster is in its name. Instead of the traditional alder body, most Telecasters are made of, this guitar has a body made of select ash wood. It gives the guitar a little more sustain and a distinct sound that sets it apart from other Tele’s on the market today. The only finish option is, of course, natural ash. It has, ironically, an unfinished look. And the brown tortoiseshell pickguard completes the look. For those into the rough around the edges style, there aren’t many guitars better suited for you out there. The neck is made of maple wood, as is its fretboard. There are twenty-one vintage-style frets on it, with black dot inlays for position markers. The tuning heads are made of die-cast chrome and lock in place. The bridge is a standard Telecaster style, with the strings running through the body. The bridge plate and knob plate, as well, are also chrome. Electronically, the Ash Telecaster has two single-coil pickups in the neck and bridge positions. They are the same as those that come with today’s Standard Telecaster, so you can expect a similar sound. There are also one master volume and one master tone control knobs, with a three-way selector switch to give you control over the tone options.

Playability: Other than the ash body, the Ash Telecaster plays very similarly to the Standard Tele. Considering this guitar is made in Mexico, the playability is superior to most other foreign-made guitars out there. The neck has a nice slim profile and is very fast, and the action is generally set up low out of the factory. With a quick string change, this guitar will be playing at a professional quality level in no time. Ease of use is certainly a strong point in the making of the Ash Telecaster.

Sound: As you would expect, the Ash Telecaster is similar sounding to the traditional Standard Telecaster. It has the classic bell-like Fender tone, with a pretty versatile range thanks to the switching options. Also, the ash body provides a little extra sustain and a distinct tone. If you’re really looking for the signature sound of the Telecaster, look no further than this guitar.

Overall: The Ash Telecaster is more or less the same as the Standard. If you’re willing to spend a few extra dollars on a specialized make and finish, then go for it. But, for others, it might be a better idea to just save that little extra and go with a Standard. You can find the Standard Ash Telecaster in music stores for about $450.

Trekking Apple Hill

Autumn is upon us, and, in the Sacramento region, that means that Apple Hill is in full swing! Apple Hill in Camino, California, is a large apple growing region in Northern California. Prior to 1960, the area was well known for pear production, but a pear blight in that year encouraged growers to move to apples. Later in the 60s the growers hosted a “press picnic” where each of the growing families hosted a member of the local press for a meal and showed them around the area. That was the beginning of the huge tourist industry that has become the foundation of the Apple Hill economy.

Today, Apple Hill is a nearly year-round attraction. It is a gigantic crafts fair and farmers’ market with seasonal fruits and vegetables offered up as they are available. Additionally, starting the day after Thanksgiving Day, Christmas tree farms open throughout the region, making Apple Hill a prime destination for the search for the perfect Christmas tree. When trekking on this amazing hill, it is very crucial that you are wearing the right gear and using the right tools like the best crampons. Certainly, you wont be able to enjoy the trekking experience if you are not comfortable with the things that you are wearing and using.

The Apple Hill Map

In order to have a complete Apple Hill experience, be sure to secure an Apple Hill map early in your visit. The Apple Hill Growers Association publishes an easy to read map of the hill, showing locations of all the registered member growers and what features each location has to offer. Some of the growers just offer apples, which may be purchased in any quantity that the buyer chooses. Others have collections of crafters and artists, entertainments and food. Growers that offer kids’ activities are highlighted too. The Apple Hill map may be viewed on the Apple Hill Growers website and it is also available at any of the member growers for free – it is published as a standalone sheet or in the center section of the free Apple Hill Cider Press magazine.

Apples  amp; Apple Products

As the name indicates, Apple Hill is an apple growing region. Many of the growers on the hill produce at least some apples, and most produce a large selection in numerous varieties. Most western states varieties are represented on Apple Hill. Buyers have the option of purchasing single apples for out-of-hand eating, or cases of apples to take home.

Do not miss the limitless variety of apple products available on the hill. In the various shops the determined apple searcher will find traditional and flavored apple butters and jams, apple chips, apple wine, apple teas, apple-faced dolls, apple doughnuts and spectacular apple fritters made fresh and eaten hot.

Perhaps the best single product available on the hill is the fresh apple juice. Applers, as visitors are often called, can view the process of the apples being crushed and bottled, unfiltered. They can sample icy cold fresh cider, and they can buy bottles and jugs of it to take home. Shoppers need to be cognicent of the fact that the fresh, unfiltered apple cider has no preservatives of any type, and it is unpasteurized, so it will go bad pretty fast. Glass jugs of pasteurized juice are also available for those who want to keep it in the fridge a bit longer, but it never has the fresh taste that the fresh-crush has.

Other Producers

While the focus of Apple Hill is apple production, and is very kid friendly, there are also some great adult activities here too. In addition to the fun apple wine, there are full-fledged wineries on the hill, as well as the famous Jack Russell Brewery for beer aficionados. In addition, there is an elegant day spa on the hill, open year round, to relieve the stress of all the wine and beer tasting and appling that you will surely be doing.

Throughout the month of October, pumpkin patches come to dominate the hill. All over applers will find pumpkins and gourds ranging from tiny apple-sized examples to ginormous thousand-pounders! Gourds and winter squashes of every sort are also available, both in typical varieties and in exotics.

And then, beginning the day after Thanksgiving, the Christmas tree farms open for business. All varieties of Christmas tree are available all over the hill. When you go, be sure to get off the main drag, and search higher up for your trees – there are all sorts of cute little tree farms that really make the Christmas season visit special! Warm your hands over an open fire while they are securing your tree to the roof of the Mini.

The Foodie Experience

Though high cuisine is not present on the hill, there are several excellent barbecues that feature chicken and tri-tip sandwiches in delectable apple-sweetened barbecue sauces. Snack foods are limitless and mostly apple-based and on a cold tree-hunt, nothing goes down better than a cup of hot, spiced cider.

Craft and Art

Several of the larger growers host art and craft fairs throughout the autumn and winter seasons. At these venues applers will find just about everything imaginable at a craft fair. Flavored olive oils, handmade leather belts, oil lamps, craft clothing, hiking sticks and bath salts are just the beginning. Hundreds of vendors offer thousands of spectacular products.

Planning and Traffic

Apple Hill has grown exponentially in popularity over the past couple of decades. In order to keep the homespun, country feel of the area, locals have resisted road improvement, and, as a result, some times see major traffic jams. To get avoid this, go on weekdays. Some of the craft purveyors will not be present, but the light crowds more than make up for it. If you go on Friday, most weekend places are open, but the crowds are still much lighter.

Another alternative is to make use of one of the shuttle parking areas towards the bottom of the hill and grab a free shuttle. These shuttles wind around the roads on the hill and stop at many of the major producers.

Don’t Make The Following Mistakes While Installing Polymeric Sand

Polymeric sands are an extremely useful binding agent, and choosing and installing the right polymeric sand is very significant so that it can ensure durability and withstand any weather conditions like rain. They act as locking agents for pavers when mixed with water and other additives like silica. They lock the pavers and complete the process of building a walkway or a driveway. Polymeric sands should be installed carefully without committing errors, as any mistake will mean that you will have to redo the entire installation. This will incur more expenditure and time to fix the mistakes of installation. 

Therefore, it is necessary to comprehend the features of installing polymeric sand and the mistakes one usually makes, so that you do not repeat the same. 

Use Better Quality Sand:

There are various types of polymeric sands available in the market. While you may be tempted to choose polymeric sand and think of saving some money, there may be certain drawbacks to it. Cheaper polymeric sands mean they use cheaper quality ingredients for making them. As a result, after you install the polymeric sand, you may have to suffer regular hazing issues, and this will gradually cause harm to your reputation. Therefore, to avoid these circumstances, it is recommended that you purchase a better quality polymeric sand, which will guarantee a perfect installation. Do your homework before you select the best polymeric sand for you. 

Choose The Right Amount Of Water:

The next thing to ascertain is the amount of water you should be using to install the polymeric sand. Anything extreme is not a favorable thing to do, therefore, overwatering or under watering are both harmful for polymeric sand installation. Overwatering will carry the risk of the sand being washed away, whereas under watering will give a very weak and fragile installation of sand. Make sure to use the right amount of water and let the water be soaked in the sand properly. The sand should be evenly watered throughout without having any dry patches left.  The correct amount of watering is essential for a successful polymeric sand installation. 

Avoid Rainy Weather:

Before installing polymeric sand, make sure that the surrounding weather is particularly suitable for the installation. Rain can cause a lot of distraction to the installation of the polymeric sand. Sometimes, it may be difficult to predict the weather conditions, but it is still advised to use your mind as much to choose the right weather conditions. If it rains right after the installation, the water may spill all the polymeric sand on top of the pavers. The sand may get over sticky due to the heavy rain, as it will be difficult to remove from the surface. 

Hence, it is recommended to choose a dry weather condition before installation. Dry weather will ensure that the surface will remain dry at all times even after the installation so that the sand may successfully bind the pavers. But, in case, you witness an unfortunate rain while installation, then it is mandatory to use a tarp and cover the surface for protection. 

Don’t Compromise On Aesthetic Value:

It is necessary that you do the maximum research regarding the polymeric sand before choosing one. The most durable and best quality sands may be available only in certain limited colors, and that may make you wonder that these colors do not match with the colors of the pavers. However, let us assure you that there are many newer brands that are offering you a diverse range of colors to suit your needs and desires. Therefore, while installing the polymeric sand, make sure you beautify them by keeping in mind the color combination of the paver and the sand. 

The Pavers Should Be Dry, Use The Right Amount Of Sand And Compact

As discussed earlier, the favourability of dry weather conditions, similarly, the pavers, which will be bound by the sand, should also be dry. 

The next thing which has to be determined is the amount of sand to be used for filling in between the pavers. The objective is to fill them completely, and there should not be any vacant space without sand. That does not mean you dump the excess amount of sand just for the sake of it, as excess sand may have spilled on the top of the surface. You will have to measure and anticipate the amount of sand required to fill each crack, and then you proceed with the installation.  

After you have installed the sand, make sure that you do not forget compacting. Compacting is the procedure which will hold the pavers tightly by eliminating any air space in between the pavers. Leaving the air spaces as it is will eventually cause decay and breaking of the pavers. 

You should remember these above pointers while you are installing polymeric sand for the successful completion of the installation. However, the installation will end only after you clean up the remaining sand lying on the surface by sweeping and using a leaf blower. This procedure has to be done after the installation and remember that any remaining sand particles will harden it on top of the surface and create a rough surface.

Now you have to look at your income and expenses. List everything you spend money on in a month. Average out your car insurance, medical costs etc. Next average out your income to a monthly amount. The difference between you income and your expenses is your left over money every month. For a Chapter 7, this amount should be under $50. This is because you are trying to show the court that you are too poor to pay your creditors. You can adjust your expenses here and there to help get to the desired figure. But don’t lie! That is fraud and perjury. If no matter what you have more income at the end of the month, you will have to file a Chapter 13. This is because you have enough money to at least pay them 10 cents on the dollar.

The next step is to look at your assets. If you have a lot of assets (houses, cars, etc) with no debt on them (such as a mortgage), you may have too many assets. You cannot have more than $20,200 of equity in your home or $3,225 in your car. If you do, there is also an additional amount of $11,200 that can also be applied. However, if you still have too many assets, you will need to file a Chapter 13. (The courts thinking is “why should you get to keep all your stuff and your creditors get nothing?”)

The last consideration is your car. Cars that are purchased with the past 910 days may be able to have the loan amount lowered. If the value of the car is less than the amount owed, the court can do a cram down and lower the amount owed on the car to the value. This is only available in a Chapter 13.

The Development of the Very Light Jet Market

The global credit crisis was quite a phenomenon. It wiped out Wall Street empires and almost rendered an entire financial system redundant. In all the chaos, it may also have claimed the scalp of the so called mini jet revolution. Central to the mini jet revolution was the very light jet known as the very light jet. It is a concept that emerged in 1998 and was defined as a jet aircraft weighing about ten thousand pounds or less and certified for single pilot operations.

The very light jet was previously held back by the non-existence of a suitable engine. In 1992 the mini jets began to see the light of day when jet engine manufacturer Williams International – renowned for the tiny turbofans it developed for the Tomahawk cruise missile – introduced the 8 500 newton thrust FJ44 model. It was25 percent smaller than any turbofan engine built before. It was then that biz jet manufacturer Cessna developed the Citation jet, the first of what became to be known in the aerospace industry as a light jet. It was considerably cheaper than other jets on the market and eventually became the fastest selling private jet.

This led Williams to engage in the development of an even smaller engine, the FJX-2. It was built in co-operation with NASA. In preliminary tests the engine performed well but it was abandoned after it could not achieve expected thrust levels with out overheating. The engine had been scheduled to be fitted on the Eclipse 500, which is recognized as the world’s first very light jet to be developed. After the Williams FJX-2 was abandoned, Eclipse signed a deal with Pratt  amp; Whitney to develop a smaller version of a more conventional engine. In September 2006 the Eclipse 500 received FAA certification sporting Pratt amp; Whitney engines. Despite all the glitches the first Eclipse was delivered to a customer in December 2006. Experts will provide guide to low-code development to the enterprises. The development of the site will be done to attract massive number of customers for growth and development. 

When the very light jet came into existence a lot was said about how it was going to revolutionize commercial aviation. Advances in information technology and affordable computing power allowed large scale logistics problems to be solved in real time, serving to make on demand services and affordable on a per seat basis. The very light jet would introduce flexibilities in timing and choice. Basically an air taxi industry.

The smaller aircraft could be used at smaller airports and relieve the congestion at some of the bigger and busier airports. Allowing operators to make use of under utilized regional airports.

A number of start ups sprung up such as the Day jet corporation, which offered on demand flight services. These companies signed for many new orders of different kinds of very light jets. Some analysts were quick to point out that the new companies were destined to fail as they did not have confidence in the new business model.

When credit dried up many of these start ups folded, including some very light jet manufacturers who had looked to cash in on the mini jet boom.

Besides that, the very light jet did breathe some new life into commercial aviation. It opened up jet flight to a whole new tier of private pilots and fractional ownership groups. As we emerge from the carnage of the financial crisis only time will tell where the very light jet will take us.
