Ghost stories abound and stories of murders and tragic accidents date back to the early days when life was harder and people lived and died around the gold fields. Daylesford, a small town in rural Victoria, Australia, along with its surroundings, has a wealth of stories, some spooky, some sad, but all interesting.

Locals speak of gold rush murders like the one in 1872 when a miner was killed and his body was thrown down a mine shaft, unfortunately for the killer the body lodged only 30 feet in the shaft and the murderer was accused and hanged. . The ghosts of 2 murdered Aboriginal girls are said to haunt the Fir Tree B&B in nearby Trentham, guests have reported feeling their presence and seeing objects move on their own. The Cosmopolitan Club in Trentham was also said to be haunted by a 12-year-old girl, with sightings reported by former owners and guests. Many other hotels in the area have had reports of ghosts.

Taking the time to take a look at the local cemetery can give you an interesting insight into an area’s history and colorful past. Daylesford Cemetery has a large memorial to 3 young boys who went missing in 1867. Two brothers and a young friend went missing in the winter, looking for goats. A search was carried out with many volunteers, but to no avail. The bodies were later discovered when a local lumberjack dog found a child’s boot. The bodies of the children were found huddled in a hollow tree.

Near Creswick was the scene of Australia’s worst mining accident. Creswick Cemetery has a stone memorial to the disaster where 22 miners lost their lives in 1882 at Australasian No.2 Mine. Australasian No. 1 Mine, already flooded, breached No. 2 Mine and drowned the men working there.

Eganstown Cemetery is located right on Deep Spring Creek. Locals say ‘give body to water’ for bottled mineral water. Of course, the most famous death story in the Spa Region is the Hanging Rock Picnic. The story is about a school trip that goes wrong and ends with the death of 3 girls and their teacher. The story is fictional but the setting is not, it’s a beautiful walk and the rock formations are wonderful. Many people believe that the story is based on fact, the book is widely read and has been made into a movie.

The next time you’re in the Daylesford area, take a little time to pamper your body and do a little soul searching.

Life is good for most celebrity pets. It seems to be a fashion these days to flaunt your pet in public if it is a celebrity. The most popular is the canine. I’m not sure who was the first person to start it, but it definitely caught on like wildfire. A Hollywood movie that definitely influenced this trend was Legally Blonde. Reese Witherspoon’s dog Bruiser in the movie went everywhere with her. She dressed him in clothing and jewelry. She pampered him as if he were a child. Not only movies influenced this trend, but also real-life celebrities. Paris Hilton was one of the first that most people probably remember. Paris and her chihuahua Tinkerbell grace the pages of various magazines each week. She turned a simple dog into a fashion accessory. If you can believe it, he actually takes his dog for a pedicure and that’s definitely not at a discount pet store. Most people think this is crazy, but more and more celebrities are joining the tabloids with their pets.

Celebrities buy all kinds of jewelry for their pets. They get things like diamond encrusted collars and leashes to designer clothes for their pups. Celebrities like Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears take their dogs everywhere with them. Louis Vuitton handbags are not only a trendy fad but Louis Vuitton dog carriers became a hot item in Hollywood because of the pop stars. Mariah Carey lets her dog Jack take a bath with her, go for it if she gets real treatment. She spends hundreds of dollars on pet supplies every month just to groom Jack.

One of the craziest stories going around is about a fashion designer who was hired to make costumes for Tori Spelling’s dog, Mimi LaRue. Some celebrities just have more money than they know what to do with. Does your dog really need personalized pet clothing? Another celebrity who never seems to shy away from the spotlight would be Sean “Diddy” Combs. In fact, he dressed his Maltese Sophie identically to him for the 2004 New York Fashion Week. I wonder what his budget is for pet supplies!

Celebrities such as the Osbournes have appeared on MTV reality shows and their pets have also become stars. People who watched the show knew the pets by name. They watched as the dogs were pampered every week as if they were humans. Osbourne’s dogs definitely wore fancy and luxurious pet attire. Sharon! Have you seen the %@!%&* pet supplies?

One of the most popular things right now to do with your dog is to receive dog training from Cesar Milan “The Dog Whisperer.” Oprah and Denise Richards are among the many celebrities who have joined this movement. They invite César to his house to help them with any problems they may have with their dog. Cesar offers his opinion on pet training and supplies, but most of the time he doesn’t train the owner.

Some celebrities go a little overboard and take things to the extreme, but others just pamper their pet like you and I would if we had the extra money to do so. Pink, for example, gives her Bulldog “Elvis” only bottled water. Oprah only buys designer collars for her dogs, like the Burberry collar she bought for Sophie. These are just a few of the celebrities who are constantly in the news for being crazy about their pets. One thing is for sure, if I were an animal, I would like to be the pet of celebrities.

You know you’re in for an emotional read with any Hallmark-inspired story. Greg Kincaid continues the tradition with his new book, Christmas with Tuckerdriven by sales success, A Dog Named Christmaswhich became a 2009 Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, capturing more than 12 million American viewers.

George McCray, in his sixties, awaits his mother’s Christmas visit at his dairy farm in Crossing Trails, Kansas. He now suffers from memory loss. To make it easier to remember him, he selected key McCray family memorabilia, including a dog named Tucker’s collar, his grandfather’s tin mug, and the last puzzle his father, John, gave his mother. Grandma Cora.

Those items come to life, as George recounts in the winter of 1962, as he awaits the arrival of his mother. It was then that, at the age of thirteen, George made the transition from a boy to a young man.

In June, George’s father was killed in a tractor accident on the farm, shaking the McCray family to the core. George lived with his parents, sisters Hannah and Trisha and Grandpa Bo and Grandma Cora McCray.

In late summer, George’s mother and her college-age sisters ventured back to Minnesota to be near their parents. Everyone, including George, thought it best that she stay on the farm until Christmas, help run the McCray dairy farm; and adjust to life without his father.

Kincaid plunges you deep into George’s young world; and describes the impact a four-year-old Irish setter has on his life.

Neighbor Frank Thorne asks the McCray family to look after his unnamed dog while he serves time for drunken disorderly conduct at the local jail. He learns how Tucker earns his name while he stays with the McCrays.

George is initially reluctant to befriend the canine, whom he regularly sees from afar before boarding his school bus each morning; tied to a circular chain. It’s not long before the two become inseparable, sharing a warm bed together during the bitter cold Kansas nights. Tucker is loyally there for George, as he often contemplates the loss of his father and the unfairness of life.

Central America, simpler times prevail. Grandma Cora is quietly working at the puzzle table. She builds challenging puzzles that, until her death, her son John provided. Grandpa Bo drinks every day from the tin cup that has been in the McCray family for generations. He also makes a leather necklace; showing “Tucker McCray”, once, through a turn of events, George gains ownership of the Irish setter.

Experience the realities of life on the farm. George gets up every day at 4:30 am to help Grandpa Bo milk the cows before he goes to school. It is a generational task that he inherited after the untimely death of his father.

Feel also the cattle’s affinity for walking on frozen pond water, which often results in death when the ice breaks up and they cannot escape. Kincaid describes George’s harrowing attempt to save the animals, as he endured near frostbite and bleeding bare feet.

Cherokee County, Kansas experiences one of its worst winter storms days before Christmas. With roads blocked by snow, many residents are left to fend for themselves. Grandpa Bo decides it’s time to teach George how to operate the gigantic machine, called a maintainer (today’s grader), to help clear the roads. “My grandfather was giving me a new adult rulebook so I could get rid of the childish primer that had let me down so much that year. I learned to be suspicious of rules rooted in rights and my needs, and to respect rules instead.” based on truth and concern for others”.

The Christmas spirit alludes to George, given his father’s death and ambivalent feelings about moving back to Minnesota to live with his mother: “Christmas, I thought it wasn’t going to be a good one this year. How could it be when you had thirteen years old and I knew, I just knew you weren’t going to get what you wanted?”

Christmas with Tucker culminates in a citywide celebration of the season, not unlike It is a wonderful life. Spend some time over the holidays and read Kincaid’s 180-page short story, sure to enhance your holiday season.

Author Greg Kincaid lives on a farm in Kansas; and he is an advocate for pet adoption. To find adoptable pets near you, visit http://www.petfinder.com.

At first

It is customary in Kung Fu classes, from the beginning, for the group to greet their teacher, who returns the greeting. In this version, the student’s left hand (which is Yang) covers the right fist (which is Yin) and they bow slightly and return. The right hand represents the Moon (Yin) the left hand the Sun (Yang) the two brightest objects in the sky. The salutation ‘says’, for those aware of the symbolism: ‘Ming’ (brightness/brightness/enlightenment) the name of the last true Chinese dynasty, before the conquest of China by the despised Manchu Mongols in the 17th century. A similar ‘hello to the Ming!’ assembly marks the formal close of the session.

Kung Fu and Secret Societies

This greeting, often called the ‘enlightened’ or ‘hidden’ fist sign, was practiced by groups such as the Red Turbans and the White Lotus Society. Dedicated to the overthrow of the Qing (Manchu) dynasty and the restoration of proper Chinese rule, they secretly trained in martial arts with this purpose in mind.

Older members of such groups used more advanced greetings, for example, putting the left leg forward, while making the slight bow and hand gestures mentioned above. The body language involved in this incorporates the threat of a kick. The salute ‘said’ to those in the know: ‘Put the Qing out! Give me back the Ming! Although not the way to salute a Qing soldier, such salutes performed correctly served, within such martial groups, to identify individuals as relative beginners (Si Di) or more experienced veterans (Si Hing) and to dismiss those in the wrong place at the time. wrong time and so on.

Better than a handshake!

Salutes are performed upon entering and exiting the training room, before and after fighting in training or contests (to highlight the organized, ritualized and “enlightened” nature of the proceedings and to emphasize the absence of gratuitous violence) and at other times when courtesy and formality might be required. Unlike some martial arts, the Kung Fu practitioner always keeps his gaze fixed on the person(s) being greeted. Greeting is preferred to the handshake, as many covert applications of Qin Na (seize and control) originate from seemingly friendly handshakes that are, in fact, nothing of the sort. The bow and salute are designed to avoid such surprise attacks and to facilitate focused attention on those so recognized.

general

Nonverbal communication between humans considerably predates its spoken equivalent. Vital messages were communicated through a medium that relied on the eyes rather than the ears. Such messages are seen as very powerful psychological influencers on the behavior of others in subtle yet powerful ways. Kung Fu greetings demonstrate a keen awareness of such principles, the potency of the medium, and the demands of the contexts in which they are typically used.

Some people may not know it, but Texas has some great beaches, especially for skimboarders. We are going to go through some beaches that all skimboarders have to visit before they grow old and leave this world.

Corpus Christi/Padre Island National Seashore: This beach is located just off Padre Island in South Texas. This beach is huge and long at over 70 miles long and is a great place for skimboarders. It is not very developed and has an enormous amount of nature. This beach is also a great place to camp. This park also has some great dunes and sand. This place is also famous for windsurfing.

Galveston Island: This island is 27 miles long and more than 3 miles wide. This island used to be the home of the Native Americans. This island is also where the largest American natural disaster ever recorded in history occurred. 6,000 people lost their lives in 1900 because of a hurricane. There are a few beaches for skimboarding, but mostly it’s a great place to visit because of its history.

Mustang Island/Port Aransas: This island is located just southeast of Corpus Christi. This place has some very interesting landscapes and great beaches for skimboarding. This island is 18 miles long and looks almost like a strip of bacon from the air.

South Padre Island – This beach has been a popular vacation spot for many years due to a resort on the island and its beautiful beaches. South Padre is a barrier island, meaning it is a relatively narrow strip of sand that runs parallel to the mainland shoreline.

Anyone who lives in Texas or neighboring states knows how popular Corpus Christi is and how wonderful the beaches can be. Skimboarding and summer are just around the corner.

Skimboarders, wax your boards and get them ready to hit the waves, summer will be here before you know it.

The Bull Mastiff is a very large breed of dog. Tall, stocky, confident, athletic and strong. But in contrast, they are well known for being one of the most gentle, loving, loyal, docile and faithful breeds. Maybe the perfect family dog…

In the 1800s, the Bull Mastiff breed was used to protect large, wealthy rural estates, helping to catch poachers or thieves. They were successful in this role due to their reluctance to bark, which allowed them to sneak up and use their weight to immobilize their victim until their owners told them to let go. As a general rule, they don’t bite, which means it’s safe for your dog to play roughly, albeit a bit like a wrestling match! And if your Havanese is barking, go see why, it could be warning you of something important, they are great watchdogs.

family dog

Bullmastiffs are also known as the “babysitters” of the dog world, widely considered to be one of the safest breeds to have around children or babies, their calm demeanor means they tolerate being pulled, climbed and generally harassed and will never lose. check. However, they can be clumsy and could easily knock over a small child with a flick of their tail, so be careful!

Its color is described as fawn (a light beige), red (a medium brown with a slight red tint), or brindle, which is a mix of brown and black. The average size of the male is 25 inches tall and weighs around 50-60 kg. Bitches are generally smaller in size, 20-25 inches tall, weigh around 45-55kg.

Bull Mastiffs can be quite lazy, a ten minute walk will satisfy them on a cold rainy day, but nothing will delight them more than a family day out in the woods or on the beach. Never ‘walk’ your dog too much, even if it looks like they might go on and on, they are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia which can be triggered by too much exercise. Other health problems can include arthritis, swelling, and lymphoma cancer.

Family always comes first for a Bull Mastiff, but if properly socialized, he mixes well with people and other dogs, sniffs and plays with other dogs, with people he doesn’t jump, which is comforting given his size! However, they don’t mix very well with their own breed, which is worth noting if you’re out for a walk. Also, when walking your dog, be aware of others who may be uncomfortable seeing a large breed dog off leash, especially if they have a small dog or children with them, always be ready to call your dog to your side and trust that they will come immediately when called; otherwise, it’s best to keep them in the lead at all times. Extendable leashes still give your dog a lot of leeway.

Taking your Bull Mastiff to training classes when he is young is the best way to enable him to interact with other people and dogs, and how to behave within a community in a safe and friendly manner. They learn well and enjoy pleasing their owners by doing as they are told.

Be careful with your furniture!

Bull Mastiffs love to chew and play, if you don’t want them to practice in your home, furniture and possessions then you need to make sure they have their own toys to distract them. Because they have such strong jaws, be sure to do some research and pick a toy that lasts more than a few minutes before it gets destroyed! Look around your house for cheap alternatives, old shoes, tennis balls, plastic bottles are so much fun for them.

A large crate is a must for a Havanese, it is useful for transporting them in the car and is a place where they can relax and snooze indoors. eating! When it comes to their food and personal space, don’t let them get territorial, there should be nowhere they can go that you can’t and no food bowl that you can’t take away from them. Try them on this so they know. who is the ‘leader of the pack’.

If you are looking for dogs for sale, many people who choose a Bull Mastiff as a family pet never buy another breed of dog again (myself included), they are a wonderful asset to any home and make a loyal, loving and often loving pet. entertaining. However, they are large, they need a confident owner and careful training and socialization. Never make the decision to purchase a Bull Mastiff lightly.

The Internet is a breeding ground for “get rich quick” schemes. This is especially true in SEO. If you’ve been in business, you’ve no doubt received (possibly quite frequently) a plethora of guaranteed bargain offers. Because of all the blatantly false advertising, SEO seems to get a bad rap. It is discarded, but should it be?

What is SEO?

In our search for the truth about SEO, we must first understand what it is before we can determine its effectiveness. SEO or search engine optimization is a branch of online marketing that deals with getting your site to appear in search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.) for specific search terms. For example, if you sell birds in your store, you might want customers to see your name when they type “talking parrot” into Google. To get featured, you’ll want to use search engine optimization.

Some points of order! (This is important)

Now that we understand what SEO is, let’s take a look at some common phrases you’ll hear from bad SEO marketers (RUN!). We can guarantee you a number one spot on Google! This is impossible. First, as you can see in this year’s latest PANDA update on Google, the rules can change. Second, your search results are a representation of how important and how similar your site is to the search terms compared to your competition.

If your competition has a better SEO program and is considered more important, it will rank above you. We can guarantee you X results per month! (sales, hits, etc.) See above! Again, sales (conversions) are the result of not only targeted traffic to your site, but also qualified traffic (i.e. customers ready to buy your specific product).

They must also find what they are looking for (ie your site is optimized). Now I guarantee you something! The person making that claim is most likely a sales rep with little or no SEO experience. They are also most likely looking at your site for the first time as they make their umpteenth cold call of the day. Sensing a pattern? Run away from companies that guarantee things.

Does SEO ever work?

OF COURSE! A well-executed SEO program can and does generate millions of dollars per month for quite a few companies, such as Amazon, Wal-Mart, etc. When you need to find directions to a new restaurant, reviews, want to buy a new device, etc. where do you turn? Google! All the others too. If your business appears on page one for important and relevant search terms, you’ll see new visitors. Assuming your website and content are targeted correctly, this will lead to new sales.

Track your results

Your new campaign is now up and running. Congratulations! How effective is it? Usually when I ask this question about past marketing, I get a glassy look of confusion. To be truly effective, any marketing program must be backed by detailed metrics and analytics. Nothing will be perfect from the start and a good marketer will modify the SEO campaign as the months go by to ensure effectiveness. It will also provide a detailed analytics report beyond that I made these links this month.

Patience is a virtue

One of the most frequently asked questions in any search engine optimization campaign is when can I expect results. Unfortunately, many business owners are under the mistaken impression that they can double their money in a month with SEO. This is sadly false. A well-executed search engine optimization campaign can take up to 3 months to get up and running and see concrete results. It will probably take 6-12 months to see dramatic increases in sales.

Keep in mind that these are estimates largely determined by the amount of money spent on the SEO campaign and the stiffness of the competition. (ie if you want to rank in the top 3 for the online store (about 945,000,000 results) in 6 months with $100 per month in the campaign, it won’t happen). To summarize, a search engine optimization program can be vital to your business. However, for that to happen, it must be well-functioning, well-maintained, and analyzed.

In a recent fictional novel, a fledgling private investigator (PI) reluctantly took on pet cases, from finding an African helmeted tortoise to searching for her neighbor’s short-tempered dog. Tracking down these missing pets provided fun subplots, though a writer could also build a more serious story starring a PI who specializes in finding animals. This article defines the role of a pet detective, her skill set and tools, and the techniques that writers can apply to develop such a character.

What is a pet detective?

Pet detectives are trained to find (or improve the chances of finding) lost or missing pets. They use a combination of profiling, search and rescue, surveillance and even complaint counseling techniques. They often use high-tech tools, from night vision binoculars to motion-activated surveillance cameras. His strategies have reunited thousands of lost pets with their human companions. There are even professional organizations, like Pet Hunters International and Pet Detective University, that train PIs to become certified pet detectives.

Bloodhounds and other dogs can also be trained to help pet IPs. Just as tracking dogs like German Shepherds, Bloodhounds, and Border Collies can follow a human scent, they can also follow a pet’s scent from something like a cat’s bedding or a dog’s favorite chew toy. Additionally, some search dogs are trained to spot specific animals, such as cats, while others are trained to attract other canines.

Tips for Writing a Pet Detective

If you are writing a story with a detective who finds lost pets, think about the following questions:

• Does he/she have a search dog?
• What tools does your PI pet use? For example, night vision binoculars, motion-activated surveillance cameras, a bionic ear to amplify sounds.
• In real life, a pet PI can make a lucrative living, with flat fees of $300 to $1,000 a day. Does your character charge similarly? If so, his lifestyle will reflect a high income (unless he’s not very good with money or has other financial obligations).
• What research traits does your fictional IP pet use? As with other PIs, they can rely on your reasoning, analysis of physical evidence, interview and interrogation, and surveillance techniques to recover lost pets.
• Where did your fictional pet’s IP learn about animal behavior, for example, in college, in a vet’s office, or while growing up on a farm?

There’s one last point about writing a favorite detective: He probably has a big heart. After all, animals possess all the best in humans.

A Rottweiler with too much energy can be very draining on the owner. When you leave your Rottweiler alone for a few hours and come home to a dog that literally can’t stop whining, the first response is often frustration and anger. But, for an overly energetic Rottweiler prone to emotion, anger is the last thing he wants to exhibit. You may feel tired, but your dog is ready for action!

Many owners try to understand what causes this level of excitement in their Rottweiler. It can be hard to pin down exactly where all the excitement of barking is coming from, but in other cases it can be as simple as sheer boredom.

Helping your bored rottweiler

A bored dog needs one thing: more attention. And for a dog like the Rottweiler, that attention should come in the form of as much exercise as possible. More than 90% of the time, the biggest culprit here is that his Rottweiler is allowed to sit around the house and do almost nothing. That lack of action can make it difficult for your dog to relax and enjoy his life. But how much exercise do rottweilers really need?

Rottweilers were originally bred to work in very demanding jobs such as herding livestock, guarding, and law enforcement. If you’ve chosen to own one of these energetic dog breed types, you shouldn’t be surprised to find that your Rottweiler needs a LOT of exercise. I’m talking about 2-3 hours a day of walking, playing or running to stimulate your desire to work.

Dealing With Your Rottweiler’s Separation Anxiety

Sometimes over-enthusiasm can be a simple matter of anxiety related to your comings and goings. As a first step, stop rewarding your Rottweiler for his excited greeting behavior when he returns home. You’ll only make it worse for everyone in the long run.

Instead of giving your Rottweiler extra attention when you get home, ignore him for about 10 minutes and never let him jump on you. When you have more time, you can start teaching him to stop reacting so vehemently when it’s time to leave the house. This can take a lot of time and patience. He will simply be in and out of the door for very short periods of time, lengthening the amount of time your Rottweiler will be alone. Provide your dog with an interesting toy, like a peanut butter-stuffed kong, and his own sleeping space.

Calm down a rambunctious Rottweiler

The easiest way to calm a Rottweiler who is overly nervous, assuming he is getting enough exercise, is to train him. Thinking about your commands will make your dog use his mental abilities, giving him much-needed mental stimulation. The smarter the dog, the more work he needs to thrive.

This starts with teaching your dog that you are the alpha pack leader, in full control of your home. You will then need to train your Rottweiler in basic obedience commands such as sit, stay, lie down, and be quiet. When your Rottweiler is intensely focused on following his directions, he will forget the source of his emotion and reach a calmer state that is much easier for you to control.

Not all Rottweilers will calm down completely. Some individual dogs are more excitable than others. But, anytime your Rottweiler gets so excited that it violates your family’s daily schedule and activities, you’ll need to give your Rottweiler special attention to help reduce that excess energy.
