Anything that helps us get dressed quickly and look effortlessly put-together is a big winner in our book, which is why we're loving the idea of beaded collars. Forget the struggle of finding the right accessories: With an embellished neckline, there's no need for a necklace, earrings become optional, and at the very most, all you need to dress your wrists is a bangle or two. (Hey, that's less money spent on baubles, too, right?) Tunics, tanks and dresses all benefit from beaded collars.

There are a lot of benefits to having a well trained and obedient dog. The feeling of your dog follow your every command is probably similar to the feeling of a parent that has brought up a son or daughter that became a role model for everyone to emulate.

To make the process bearable and effective, there are certain tools of the trade that you can use.

The New York Stock Exchange said it has made a rule filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission to remove certain program-trading restrictions known as "trading collars." The collars came to prominence after the 1987 market crash. They were designed to slow down the form of program trading known as index arbitrage. Under the collar, whenever the NYSE Composite Index rises or falls a certain amount during the trading day -- in the current quarter, the trigger level is 190 points -- it means that all index-arbitrage orders must be

By: Roland Parris Jefferson III Using dog training collars is fraught with a fair bit of controversy as far as training methods is concerned since the electronic dog collars used to train dogs give the dog shocks to teach it to behave in an appropriate manner. This is something that has raised a storm with many people considering it to be an inhumane as well as cruel method, though there is others equally opposed to these objections citing the fact that these dog training collars are very effective in training their pets.Modern Collars Can Control As Well As Lessen The Shocks They Give To The DogTo control the storm of objections raised by many, modern electronic dog training collars have been made that give lesser amounts of shock while also making it possible to lessen the shock by changing the settings which will ensure that the sensation will be discomforting to the dog but will not cause it any pain.There is little doubt that the dog training collar helps in teaching the pet corre

Do your dogs wear collars on a daily basis? If so, what kind? When I was a dumb kid I had Kip in a metal choke all the time. I didn’t know they could be dangerous. When I found that out, when he was probably about 10 or so, I put him in a buckle collar. Angel wears a martingale because she can slip a collar very easy. Lucy wears a really super pretty buckle collar that Jen made.. I need a picture of it. Chase wears his buckle collar from dog camp, and Levi doesn’t usually wear a collar. Because, we’ll, he’s so handsome I hate to give him a collar line. He has one from dog camp, too, though. Lucy and Angel have tags. Chase and Levi don’t, because I do so much agility with them and tags are not allowed that they are not on their collars. What type of collars do your dogs wear?

I recently helped rehome a friend’s sweet smooth collie boy into a new home. I think he’s going to be super happy there, get a lot of attention, and maybe even get to do some Rally-O. I hope so. He already knows most of the stations and just needs to be trained off leash a bit. His new family wants a new collar for him, and a friend of mine recommended a martingale. What kind of collar do you use for your collie? A collies’ head is generally more narrow than his neck. Which means any type of collar can just slip off over his head. One type of collar that is really good for a collie who has learned the slipping-the-collar trick is a martingale. If you Google Martingale Collar, you’ll find a bunch of examples. I would post some here but there are too many. There are some gorgeous ones. You might want to Google Martingale Collar Greyhound, as sight hounds often wear them. Even the small Italian Greyhounds wear them, and these dogs are nice and little and you

Hemp is an all natural product, which can be used to make such things as pet leashes and collars, this is true test of its strength and durability, so why hemp? ~ Hemp is one of the most durable of all the natural fibers/textiles ~ Will outlast synthetic fibers by many, many years ~ It is a soft fiber that grows even softer with age and washing ~ Hypo-allergenic and won’t irritate sensitive skin (animal or human) ~ Comfortable to both work with and wear ~ Hemp is both very strong and quite water resistant; it has a natural resistance to both mildew and mold ~ Hemp is grown without pesticides or herbicides, and so is ecologically and environmentally friendly - no toxins leaching into the earth! ~ Hemp crops can actually help restore soil’s natural balance, rather than depleting it of nutrients and minerals ~ As it has a ‘fast’ growing cycle (100 - 120 days), crops can be harvested two to three times a year, as opposed to anywhere from 20 to 200+ years it takes f

Martingale collars, or greyhound collars, were designed for dogs whose necks are larger than their heads (usually sighthounds). These are great for people who prefer the gentle control of a martingale over a choke chain, dogs who backout of their traditional buckle collars, and agility and flyball trainers who want a handle on their dog’s collar at all times. A martingale collar is fitted to the exact size of the dog’s neck when the collar is in the closed position. Properly fitted, the collar will be comfortably loose when not in use. When the martingale loop is pulled, the collar should be very snug but should not constrict the airway. The collar is safe to wear everyday. Two of my favorite places to get martingale collars are http://www.2houndsdesign.com and http://www.furrybabyfashions.com. Here is Bruno in his collar from 2houndsdesign. The thing hanging from the collar is called a tag bag.  These are great if you do not like the clinking of all of the tags ar

This trading strategy is very similar to the Put Option Dividend Strategy, but this strategy can be applied to stocks that don’t pay dividends, which provides some versatility and diversification. It would also keep transaction costs low as opposed to the Put Option Dividend Strategy with Covered Calls Strategy, which requires more options to be sold instead of one long-term option. The ideal situation would be to combine the two approaches into companies that you feel are fundamentally sound, and you will have a market-beating, low risk portfolio of stocks that generate returns greater than or equal to the market. The stock I would like to use as an example of this strategy is Google (GOOG). While the ability of you or I to purchase 100 shares of Google may be extremely limited because of its current trading price of $452.96 for a total cost of $45,296.00, it does represent a prime example of this type of strategy. Today (March 9, 2007) we purchased the following position: T

Article Title: Can One Really Trust Having Shock Collars ForDogs?Author: Claire QuatySome people say that, like any device for animal training, ashock collar should be used in moderation and should strive tobe both effective and humane. Shock collars used for dogsreally do the job but some people believe that their excessiveuse borders on animal cruelty. Many activists are opposed toits use because of this. The Association of Pet Behavior Counselors has a statementopposing the widespread application of the shock collar formost dogs. They don't go so far as recommending the banning ofthe product entirely, but feel the use of the product needs tobe done in a controlled fashion. When used moderately duringthe training process, the shock collar can generate greatresults without being cruel to the dog. Excessive use should beavoided. The primary purpose of shock collars is to deter negativebehavior a dog or other animal is doing. They are primarilyused during the training of the anima

While it looks as if the market is intent on going lower anyway into the close, the 2:45ish sudden 200 point meltdown was fascinating to watch. As they collared the market, as you would expect the normal flow stopped. As traders placed sell orders against S&P futures when the collars were lifted at 2:45 - BAM... a vacuum of sellers which the system could NOT handle. The discount to fair value on futures vs cash was breath taking! The chart below shows the high jinks on the Dow intraday at the time.

Joe’s Coffee Collars is one of the best ideas I’ve seen in a while. Though my photo leaves something to be desired, the little insulated cup hugger does not. They come in assorted colors and designs (though I am not sure you can get this particular one now) and fit a cup ranging from small to large. Your standard tall, Grande, and Venti Starbuck’s models. Such names for cup sizes! Anyway, these nifty, re-usable, insulated cup sleeves are made in Alaska and are state of the art insulate that keeps a beverage warmer, longer than neoprene. I can honestly testify to that. I love them! They are trendy, attractive, and make a great conversation item. I would agree that these are enviromental safe since they are re-usable time after time. They do hold their shape. Stop by Joe&#

This is what got me sewing. I make custom dog coats and speciality collars. The coats are out of fleece and the collars are out of webbing and fleece with velcro. I just bought some patterns for regular collars and leashes out of cotton material and wonderunder. I make them mostly for my dogs (we have 6) but do sell a few here and there. Just wondering if anyone else made anything like this.
