A major issue that many dog owners confront is the issue of dog separation anxiety. Let's just quickly examine what separation anxiety means. As people, dogs can get anxious or nervous, therefore separation anxiety is the anxiety that dogs feel when they are left alone. Therefore, one matter that pups actually detest constitutes separation. If it was up to them they'd be along your side at all times. But as much as we would like that they could, unfortunately they can't accompany us everyplace. Puppies that are troubled by separation anxiety have an inclination to chew destructively, soil the home, bark overly, or act out in different manners that are damaging. The conduct that your dog demonstrates as they're left behind its merely the method that puppies handle their anxiousness. Trainin

Malaysia practises a system of parliamentary democracy and is ruled as a Constitutional Monarchy, with His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong as the Head of the Country. The Yang di-Pertuan Agong is elected to the throne for a five year term from one of the hereditary Rulers of the nine states in the Federation which are ruled by Sultans. The states are Perlis, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Johor, Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan.In the other states, namely Melaka, Pulau Pinang, Sabah and Sarawak, the Head of State is the Yang di-Pertuan Negero or Governor of the state. The Yang di-Pertuan Negeri is appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong for a four year term.The Federal Constitution of Malaysia clearly divides the authority of the Federation into its Legislative Authority, Judicia

But insiders say that Tom's having none of it. In the new issue of Star — on newsstands now reports on the latest at Camp Cruise. According to our sources, Katie, who was offered a role on Broadway, is trying to break away from her controlled life under the watchful eyes of her husband and move to Manhattan in what will be a sort of trial separation.

The Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy, a public charter school in Inver Grove, MN that "offers tuition-free education to all students upon admission" is in full swing with Islamic centered traditions at taxpayer's expense.The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that the school serves halal food- Islamic permissible food-and that students participate in ritual washing and prayers. It offers Islamic studies and requires students to study Arabic as a second language. The school's calendar also reflects that it is closed for an entire week in October in observance of the Muslim holiday of Ramadan.Continue reading.-----------ref: ,

I am doing an on-line book study with some other women. It's been great. If you want to join or just read comments, click the button at left to go to Lelia's site. We are reading a book by Lysa Terkeurst called What Happens When Women Say Yes To God.Here are my thoughts:If you are a Christian you have had to say "Yes" to God at some point in your life -- "Yes, I am a sinner and yes, I need your salvation God." But saying "Yes" on a daily or even moment to moment basis is a difficult, even a monumental task. Given everything that God has given us, you might not think it would be so hard, but when I am honest, I have to admit that it is.In chapter 4, "You Never Know How God Will Use You Until You Let Him," Lysa writes, "Only the pursuit of God's righteousness leads us to His best."

The United States has a political philosophy of separation of church and state. The US government (specifically congress) may make "no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". This is from the First Amendment, probably the most important for preserving rights in America, and a personal favorite of mine. This doctrine has been interpreted to mean that the US takes no sides in religious disputes, that it does not legislate something because it is religious (though debate over legislating semi-religious morality is ongoing) and does not ever ever EVER promote a religion of inhibit another. Of course, the US often fails in the these goals, but they are an idea to live up to not a template from which the US will be docked points. Despite ahist

Maybe it is a little silly for me to participate in the annual Blog Against Theocracy. After all, this isn't a once-a-year topic for me but one which I address frequently. Still, this does give me an excuse to reflect on the issue of church-state separation and that can't be a bad thing. I'd like to make this contribution more of a personal one by focusing on why I am passionate about preserving the separation of church and state, even widening the gap between them.In taking an honest look at why I am so devoted to church-state separation, I think it is probably accurate to say that I can boil it down to two reasons. First, I am an atheist, and as such, I recognize that I have no safety in a religiously-infused government. I know full well what proponents of American theocracy think of ath

Since my readers know I'm atheist living in Mississippi, it is not surprising that I have received more than a few e-mails alerting me to the story of a brave high school student in my state who is blowing the whistle on organized religious practices in his school. In fact, after the original article appeared in my local paper, we posted it on Mississippi Atheists. It is nice to see that the story has attracted the attention of many atheist bloggers (e.g., Dispatches From the Culture Wars) and gained traction well outside of Mississippi.As Mississippi Atheists co-author, Butch, pointed out in his commentary on the article, Wesley Crawford is one brave high school freshman. Even though he took care to convey respect for the religious beliefs and practices of others, you better believe he wi

This morning when I brought the twins to preschool, their new classmate of two weeks, Rannon, was crying out loud for Ms Michelle, their form class teacher. He refused to go to his class and insisted on waiting near the door for her. Rannon reminded me of Asher when he just joined 6 months ago, but Asher merely had tears in his eyes and was chokingly telling me that he wanted Ms Lily, then form teacher. Toddlers or young kids tend to look for familiar faces when separated from parents.Actually, Asher occasionly still tears when waving goodbye to me. He is such a "sentimental" boy, or you would rather call "emotional' like what his teachers did. I would consider him having some forms of mild but prolong separation anxiety.Often, Asher needs a lot of assurance and encouragement before going

When most Americans hear the phrase "separation of church and state," they regard it as a uniquely "American" conundrum waiting to be solved. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Anyone can see by my last post the need for the issue to be raised in Iran. Iran's new buddy, Russia, has witnessed Putin's reunification of the Russian Orthodox Church as an instrument for promoting nationalism. In both cases religion has been used to accommodate a political agenda.Lately eyes turned towards England when Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, made some controversial suggestions towards religious inclusivity. To put it simply, the Archbishop, realizing the devout Muslim population in England is not only growing but there to stay, suggested that elements of Sharia should be adopted to fo

I was watching a program recently that really opened my eyes. Now, I love history, but it's been awhile since I actually studied the Constitution of the United States, or it's Amendments. What I learned during the program told me alot that I didn't know. This is the full text of the First Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.— The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Did you notice that there is nothing even related to the phrase "Separation of Church and State"? Did you notice that the First Amendment actually states that Congress will make no law prohibiting the free exercise of religion? Or the right for others to peacably assemble (even in a religious setting)?So where did that term come from? It actually came from Thomas Je

There is little doubt that at some point in your life, you have been exposed to the theory of Six Degrees of Separation. Six Degrees of Separation refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person he or she knows, and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people he or she knows, then everyone is no more than six "steps" away from each person on Earth.However, since this theory has been originally hypothesised, the world has changed. We have seen through the advent of world travel, e-mail, the world wide web, satellites, and online communities, that the world is becoming smaller and smaller, as new technology continues to emerge.As a result, I have taken it upon myself to conduct an experiment. One of the most popular online communities, if not the most popular online community, which emerged in 2007, is located at the url named http://www.facebook.com/.As of December 11, 2007, there are approximately 57 million people on Facebook.

Dallas fans were not cheering Jessica Simpson last night. Many blamed her presence for Tony Romo’s abysmal performance against the Philadelphia Eagles in the Cowboys’ 10-6 loss. The Cowboys had been the heavy favorites (except, of course, here in Philadelphia!). What’s the Gossip Girl connection? Tony Romo seems to have a flair for blonde distractions. His quarterback passing rating was a woeful 22 - his lowest since… former girlfriend and Idol winner Carrie Underwood appeared in the stands this time last year. Carrie, of course, has moved on from Tony. She is maybe-perhaps-nobody’s saying dating Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford. Since production has reportedly now ceased on Gossip Girl due to the strike, Chace doesn’t have to worry about distractions for his career. As for Romo? According to the Dallas Morning News, he was heckled outside the arena by a fan who shouted, “Worry about the game, not your girlfriend!” Technora

In my conversations with people, I meet many who say they know they are That (ala Nisargadatta Maharaj). No only do they say that who/what they really are is Ultimate Reality, but also then add additional things like ‘it only shines through sometimes more clearly than other times.’ We must be keenly aware of what we are saying and its implications, because if you say that That shines through sometimes clearly and sometimes not…what is really being said is that you are the vessel or channel for That, and you subtly separating yourself from That. That which we are is constant…it is never more or less. There also is no shining through…or some derivative of higher or true self. To say there is a higher or true self again is to separate…you are saying “you” are the lower

It is not too often that the forces of reason prevail over those of ignorance in Texas, so we must celebrate this one. The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear the Harris County v.

Both Prince Harry and his girlfriend Chelsy Davy has been dating for three years but now she needs some space and ask for separation. Sources say Harry had agreed to the “trial separation”. A friend quoted by Daily Mail said “This is not an over-for-good situation. Chelsy and Harry both love each other very much but Chelsy has had a lot to come to terms with over recent months since moving to the UK and has not found the transition an easy one”. “She kept saying she needed to take some time out to re-establish herself. She still loves him, but she feels she needs to carve an identity as her own person rather than as Prince Harry’s girlfriend. “Over recent weeks she’s been coming down to London and partying with Harry’s friends. They were together at Amika nightclub in Kensington just two weeks ago when Chelsy appeared incredibly down and subdued. “She was not her normal partying self. She had confided it was because she was mi

By: Nicholl McGuire1. Dont argue in front of them.2. Leave your new mates out of the transition process. For instance, they dont need to be the one who drops them off, walk up to your exs doorstep, or even be seen riding with the new girlfriend or boyfriend in the car. On occasion you may be riding with him or her, but dont make it a habit. Sometimes children just want that time with dad or mom to themselves.3. Answer questions when the children ask. Discuss possible questions they may ask beforehand with the ex so that both of you will be repeating the same story. They may want to know why mommy and daddy are not together a thousand times, answer them a thousand times.4. Tell the truth about your feelings toward your ex, once the child is an adult and initiates the conversation. Dont volunteer information.5. Make the childrens environment pleasant when they come to visit. Clean and comfortable. New bed sheets, cabinets and drawers they can place their toys in, favorite pictures hangin

By Sara Bijnaam The symptoms of separation anxiety are pretty distinctive: your dog will usually learn to tell when you’re about to leave (i.e., keys jingling, putting your shoes on, etc.) and will become anxious. She may follow you from room to room, whining, trembling, and crying. Some dogs even become aggressive, in an attempt to [...]

The continent's big guns were able to create some distance between themselves and the also-rans in their respective Champions League groups, thanks to a matchday where nearly everything went as scripted. The one mini surprise was Rangers scoreless draw to Barcelona at Ibrox. I say "mini" because Barca haven't played very well since the internationals break and were missing Deco for today's game. And it's not like Rangers won the game (that would have qualified as a "real" surprise). Nevertheless, lets give Gers their due: the club suddenly looks right at home amongst the continent's elite and their place in my top 25 is well deserved. The next big test will come when the teams meet again Nov. 7--in Barcelona. In the group's other game, Lyon made quick work of VfB Stuttgart, who are in complete disarray and probably couldn't even beat the New York Red Bulls right about now.The disparity between the continent's elite and its lesser powers was nowhere clearer than at Emirates stad

A press release posted on the the ‘Islamic Thinkers Society’ website, declares that “InshAllahShaheed” aint no friend of theirs. But..but…but…but..but what about Michael Moss’ NY Times article?? He also befriended members of the Islamic Thinkers Society, a tiny group that promotes radical, nonviolent Islam by leafleting in Times Square and Jackson Heights, Queens. An interesting turn of events indeed. One of y’all is fibbing. Talk amongst yourselves and sort things out will you? Now to be clear, the Moss article does not specifically quote ‘inshallahshaheed’ himself, claiming he was in tight with the ‘Islamic Thinkers Society’. But it had to come from somewhere. Did Moss pull it out of…thin air, or did inshallahshaheed misrepresent himself??. Was he desperate for some real world islamic brotherhood cred? Maybe the ‘Islamic thinkers Society’ is full of crap, that could be a possibility too. I

Will functional (or even structural) separation happen to the European telcos? Several countries (Poland, Italy, Australia), operators (Telecom New Zealand, TeliaSonera, eircom and of course BT) and the EC seem to be moving in that direction.

FTTH and separation are probably the most important trends in telecom right now. They are also linked.

Texas may be a hotbed of religious idiocy, but the state also has its share of freethinkers who value church-state separation. There will be a rally at the Texas State Capitol Building on Saturday, September 8, featuring speakers from American Atheists, The Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers, The Freethinkers at the University of Texas as Arlington, and The Freethinkers Association of Central Texas.According to Joe Zamecki, Texas State Director of American Atheists, the goals of the rally include:To speak out for the civil rights of non-religious Americans.To vocally promote the separation of government from religion.To show support for the Croft family in Carrollton who have sued over the moment of silence in their public school. (No matter how the case ends, or whether it's over by then or not.)To protest the flurry of religious bills and now religious laws coming from our current Texas State Legislature.The rally will take place on Saturday, September 8, 2007 from No

Husband said to have asked bomoh to ‘lock’ wife’s body when she committed adulterySIBU: A couple was said to have sought medical help last Saturday after their bodies became “inseparable” in an intimate relationship while they were romancing at a beach in Mukah last Saturday night.In the romantic affair, the couple was said to have become helpless, and when they found no way to separate their bodies, they called for help from a friend.Their friend came to wrap them in a ‘sarung’ and send them to the hospital in Mukah. The hospital in the coastal town referred the couple to Sibu.The medical staff members here were informed of the incident, but in their journey to the hospital here, the bodies of the couple ‘loosened up’, and the vehicle that took them here turned back to their hometown.Following the incident, the news spread in Mukah.

Co parenting is not a new concept but it’s a new terminology. A couple that is equally involved and cooperative in the parenting of their children practice co parenting on a daily basis. Co parenting is also used to describe divorced or separated parents who are sensitive to their child’s distress and [...]

Is it not exciting when your infant preferred you to anyone else on the planet? As infant crosses six months, he feels apart whenever you go to the bathroom or kitchen without him. His attachment is completely obsessive. This behavior is common in the developmental phase and it is not permanent. New skills! A new [...]

While some American schools rush to ban "Christmas" parties, cross necklesses and Bible clubs, others are going out of their way to allow and even promote Islam. In San Diego, an elementary school added an extra recess for Muslim children to pray. The University of Michigan has gone so far as to provide facilities for Islamic students to wash their feet before prayer--all at taxpayer expense! In California, another school hosts a curriculum called "Becoming a Muslim" as part of world history class. Can you imagine the outcry if any of those things happened with a Christian slant? Can you imagine if Christians were given an extra recess to pray? Or if a public college built a facility for Christian children to conduct a worship service? Or, perhaps most revealing of the double standard, if a public school offered a history class called, "Becoming a Christian"?When the families of the seventh graders who had to take the "Becoming a Muslim" part of their history class sued the school for

(Archived in: Shoutouts Social Media Marketing)They say (whomever they is) that there are only "Six Degrees of Separation" between any two individuals in this world, also described as the average path length in social networking.It's an interesting concept "they" are out to confirm, and social network Facebook Dot Com just may be the proof in the pudding. It also is the subject of this week's SOHO shoutouts and a chance to do some name dropping. I joined Facebook today on the separate invitations of John Cow from the parody of the John Chow blog and Phil Butler from Read Write Web.The Facebook Network: The Famous and Not So Famous Just to test the small world theory, I bounced around Facebook for a few hours today to see who I know that might know someone else of note. It's amazing, but I have online friends that socialize with the likes of Andy Beard, Richard MacManus, Guy Kawasaki, Darren Rowse, Michael Arrington, and even Jimmy Wales.If you do not know any of these folks you nee

This news from Thailand again brings up the matter of separation in wireless networks. Thai Mobile seems to volunteer the building of the nation's first 3G network, to which it will offer open access to all operators. Other recent news around mobile network sharing: Vodafone UK and Orange UK plan RAN sharing (3G and 2G) to reduce capex and opex by 20-30%.Hutch Essar and Bharti plan

The simple answer to that question appears to be when the religion is Islam. Some schools appear to be going out of their way to disregard the so-called separation of church and state when in regards to Muslims. Separation of church and state does not appear in the constitution, but that’s an argument for another day. If we are going to live in a country where we acknowledge a seperation of church and state, shouldn’t that mean all churches? Decisions by public schools and colleges to provide special prayer times or to make other allowances for Muslim students have raised eyebrows. In a time when liberal, politically correct groups feel the need to pander to Muslims they are afraid not to give them rights not afforded to other religions. Here’s one example: In one instance, the University of Michigan is preparing to spend $25,000 to install two footbaths at its Dearborn campus to accommodate Muslim students wanting to wash their feet before prayers.

This news out of Italy unites three of my favorite (and interrelated) trends: co-operation, separation and FTTH. Apparently, alternative operators (Vodafone Italia, Fastweb, Wind, Tiscali, BT, Tele2, Welcome Italia and Eutelia) are calling for a break-up of Telecom Italia. 1. Co-op Note that PTTs who resist full separation at home (BT, Swisscom), allow their foreign subsidiaries (BT Italy,

A prospective client asked me about separation and severance agreements. More specifically, the company asked about terminating a long time employee (who’s also over 40 years old) and if they should offer this individual a severance and/or have them sign a separation agreement. Generally speaking, whenever I’m asked about employment agreements (e.g., severance, separation, hiring, noncompete

We have seen how the First Amendment to the Constitution says absolutely nothing about keeping religion out of government. But there are still those (Catholics included) who insist that religious liberty requires an absolute or strict separation of state and church. Is this the teaching of Vatican II? In a word, no. In its Declaration on Religious Freedom (Dignitatis Humanae) Vatican II said:"Since the common welfare of society consists in the entirety of those conditions of social life under which men enjoy the possibility of achieving their own perfection in a certain fullness of measure and also with some relative ease, it chiefly consists in the protection of the rights, and in the performance of the duties, of the human person. Therefore the care of the right to religious freedom devolves upon the whole citizenry, upon social groups, upon government, and upon the Church and other religious communities, in virtue of the duty of all toward the common welfare, and in the manner prope

David Carlin is a lifelong Democrat. From 1981 to 1992, he served as a Rhode Island state senator, serving as senate majority leader in 1989 and 1990. In 1992 he was his district's Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives. For more than twenty years, Mr. Carlin has been a professor of philosophy and sociology at the Community College of Rhode Island.In his book entitled "Can a Catholic Be a Democrat: How the Party I Loved Became the Enemy of My Religion," he writes:"..an excuse that appeals to the 'separation of church and state' seems to be among the silliest rationales for a Catholic's support of the secularized Democratic Party. This separation, so we're told, is enshrined in the First Amendment to the Constitution, and it prohibits the intrusion of religion into the affairs of government. Yet the First Amendment says nothing about keeping religion out of government; it's concerned instead with keeping government out of religion. Its two religion 'clauses'

If you have children older than one, for some not even that old, you have probably experienced separation anxiety. Separation anxiety is difficult for the child as well as the parent. Sometimes I think it is harder for the parent than the child. We feel extreme amounts of guilt and we feel as if we are abandoning them. I have seen parents deal with this problem in some very interesting ways. First there is the parent that just can not allow themselves to leave until the child is calm. The problem with this is that every time the parent leaves, the child will begin to cry all over again and the parent will never get out. In essence you have only prolonged the inevitable. Then there is the drop, distract, and run tactic. This is better than the first (from a childcare providers perspective). This is where the parent pretends to be staying with the child, waits until they are distracted, and then makes a beeline for the door. Hoping the child does not see him/her leaving. The problem w

Excuse my ignorance, but I thought that our forefathers built this nation on one sound principal, paving the way for future governing bodies to abide by in order to maintain a sense of balance and unbiased decision making. I thought that separation of church and state was still a known and active governing rule. My bad. It seems that now more than ever, the whole idea of separation of church and state is falling by the wayside. Even on the Democratic side of things, 2008 candidates are being pressed about their religions beliefs. If separation of church and state really mattered, then why would people care if Hillary’s (now portraying herself as a martyr) faith in God got her through her marital strife? They wouldn’t wonder if Barack Obama practiced Muslim or that Mitt Romney was a Mormon. But people do care. Otherwise it wouldn’t be all over the news. Gay.com - The personal faith of candidates has become a very public part of the 2008 presidential campaign. Seven y

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Guest ministers invited to lead prayers at the Ohio House are violating state guidelines by evangelizing, speaking out on political topics and invoking the name of Jesus, the House clerk's office said in a memo warning lawmakers. The issue reached a tipping point during Wednesday's invocation when the Rev. Keith Hamblen, pastor of Calvary Bible Church in Lima, made multiple

Yesterday, one of The Gazette's political columnists, Don MacPherson said that Gérard Bouchard, one of the president of the Bouchard-Taylor Commission, should resign. Apparently, in an interview given to the weekly newspaper Voir, Bouchard admitted that French Quebeckers are having quite a hard time with the "debate" on "reasonnable accommodations", because they "react like [ethnic minorities], display the same feelings of fear, threat, fragility [and] roughness."Here's the pièce de résistance of the news created by The Gazette that wasn't a news as such: Gérard Bouchard said that achieving the independence of Quebec will solve all our problems concerning reasonnable accommodations. Moreover, this sociologist added that the separation would act as a glue to unite all people living in Quebec.Now, that's a hell of a good joke if you consider Quebec's History since 1840! Ok, let's get back to the point. Sociologist Gérard Bouchard spilled his opinion opinion out while he wasn'

Things more likely to happen to me in New York than in North Carolina:- Forget my cell phone in a taxi for the second time in less than two weeks while commuting between the downtown and midtown offices- Pay the cab driver $20 to bring it back (he was already in Queens and - for peace of mind and wallet - I justified the expense without argument since he was saving me from having to pay the $50 replacement fee again + the added inconvenience)- Ride the elevator next to a dress worn by Anne Hathaway in "The Devil Wears Prada"I just got back to my cubicle after meeting the cab driver, who brought back my cell phone (for a tidy sum, of course), and then riding in the elevator next to a dress worn by Anne Hathaway in "The Devil Wears Prada."I entered the elevator behind a very tall, very attractive girl and immediately noticed her dress, but I did not immediately recognize it from the movie."That is an adorable dress," I said to her as the doors shut."Thanks!" she replied.

In March, the Dutch NRA (OPTA) declined to separate network and services at incumbent KPN. OPTA said it didn't have the power to do so. It added that cable competition, as well as open access to the KPN network (be it wholesale, LLU or bitstream) were sufficient to guarantee a competitive market. However, Viviane Reding seems to be on collision course, aiming for a European effort at separating

This had to be another awkward situation for Paris: Paris Hilton and Josh Henderson arriving at the Samsung and Sprint Present the Upstage party. Ryan Cabrera and Riley Keough arrive at the party. Riley is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and Danny Keough, and granddaughter to Elvis.

Why do I feel this way? Lately I’ve hated it whenever Mummy goes off to work, leaving me and Abang Booboo behind at Nani’s. Why does she have to go? I cling on to her tudong with my fat, chubby fingers, but they’re not strong enough to hold on. And then she walks away. Leaving me crying. I want my Mummy!!! Why do I cry when she leaves? I don’t do it when Daddy kisses me goodbye. And why now? Abang Booboo tells me that he only had these feelings when he was much older (around 1 year old I think). He still does up to this day. I wish Mummy could stay at home and play with me all day long ….

Some people love them. Some people hate them. Most are floating around somewhere in between. As for my family, we are familiar with all the arguments for and against. In our situation, and especially with Alex needing extra comfort during his hospitilizations, we decided to use one. Who are we kidding, when he was in the hospital I could have seriously used one. At his age now though, I am trying to begin weaning him off it, especially since lately he seems more inclined to look for it, or carry it around with him. Now the big issue is how to actually accomplish the separation itself. I scrounged around and hit up some friends for ideas on what worked for them. I also waded through the piles and PILES of tips across the internet on this topic. So if you’re looking for a way to make the break as cleanly and painlessly as possible, try some of these tips: 1. It’s broken. My friends John and Robin gave me this idea. When their son was smaller and not wanting to gi

We’ve all seen it. The toddler weeping as if her little heart will break as she clings to her mother’s pant leg, absolutely determined not to let Mom out of her sight. Meanwhile, teacher, grandparent, or sitter stand by, desperately trying to coax the little Cling-On away with noise making toys, promises of [...]
