Among the interesting observations that Albert Clayton Gaulden treated us to this month are the Sagittarius Horoscope where he had this to say:
Sagittarius Horoscope (November 22 - December 20) You may be feeling like you are never meant to roam and gamble another day in life, but you would be wrong. Get a job as a traveling salesman or a forest ranger and you will be as happy as the proverbial pig in mud. What the Universe is trying to tell you with the alignment of the stars is that even you Archers must learn to shoot straight—get your ducks in a row—so you can afford that cabin on the lake or the condo on Michigan Avenue. Jupiter is trying to put wind beneath your wings. See a life coach or headhunter and put the pedal to the metal in your money-making pursuits. A plan will help tons.
Perhaps running off to join the circucs or a traveling carnival is in order?
Taking a look at Kathee's Pisces horoscope he was a bit rough on her and her felow pisceans.
Pisces Horoscope (February 18 - March 20) The best news we can lay on you Fish this month is that sooner than later Saturn will stop opposing you, making you crazy with too much self-examination. If you have learned your lesson well that money does not grow on cactus and that even Beethoven had to sit down to write his symphonies you’ll be ahead of the game. No, Mildred and Mike—there are no free lunches unless you’re down-and-out in Beverly Hills (or so the movie says) or being roasted at the Friar’s Club—and you ain’t that important…yet. The revelation that keeps eluding you is that God will give you what He wants you to have when you prove to Him that you are willing to work for it. Peace, Pisces.
Is There A Difference Between a Dog Trainer And A Dog Behaviorist?
Q: What is an Animal Behaviorist / Dog Behaviorist?
A: The term “Behaviorist” is misused in many situations. Some professionals refer to themselves as behaviorists but they are using the term inappropriately. Professionals without an upper level degree that specializes in behavior should rightly be classified as counselors. An Animal Behaviorist has upper level degrees (MS or PhD.) In most cases this is over six to eight years of formal education specializing in psychology, ethology, biology, zoology, endocrinology, neurobiology, physical anatomy, canine physiology and kinesthetics, advanced training in the normal and abnormal behaviors of animals, the underlying disease states that may contribute to behavioral changes, the psychology of learning and in therapeutic behavioral medicines. An Animal Behaviorist can evaluate a pet’s behavioral problems, can work with your pet’s Veterinarian to help potentially diagnose medical problems that may be contributing to these behavioral problems and can recommend therapeutic medicines that may benefit these animals.
Q: What is the difference between an Animal Behaviorist / Dog Behaviorist like you and a Veterinarian Behaviorist?
A: Veterinarian Behaviorists have nothing to do with any actual training of dogs. A Veterinarian who has a specialty in Behavioral Medicine concerns themselves primarily with medicine, and has only as little as one year of behavioral training with the emphasis on psychotropic medicines. This is also a very new field in its infancy that has only been around for as little as 3 years. On the other hand, An Applied Clinical Animal Behaviorist, like those employed by TLC K9 Academy have had much more extensive education and training that takes at least 6 to 8 years in ALL aspects of behavior, not just behavioral medicine. The Profession of Applied Clinical Animal Behaviorists is not a new field. This type of real behaviorist has been around for many decades, and is considered THE definitive choice for expert behavioral help, treatment and advice for you and your pet. TLC K9 Academy Behaviorists are also Master Certified Dog Trainers with many additional years of education, training, and experience, giving you and your pet the absolute best of both worlds.
Q: Are behavioral problems simply dog training issues?
A: There are some pets that would benefit largely from some simple training, but many behavior problems require much more than that. Dog Trainers are not Dog Behaviorists /Animal Behaviorists with Advanced Training and Upper Level Degrees, (MS or PhD.) Animals, like people can develop a number of fears, anxieties, phobias, obsessive compulsive behaviors and many types of aggression that require an in-depth history and actual behavioral modifications (not training) to help resolve them. Sometimes trainers will employ aversive or punishment methods in attempts at resolving some of these behavioral problems which may actually aggravate the problem further. Training can however be an integral part of behavioral modifications, and often a good trainer will be employed or recommended to help the owner work with behavior modification techniques once they have been prescribed and explained in the initial consult. Many trainers wrongly call themselves a behaviorist without the proper training and are really just simple dog trainers who often make serious mistakes with your pet’s well being and with your pet’s behavior. Bill Glatzel is a Clinical Applied Animal Behaviorist and specialist in difficult and severe behavioral problems in pets, such as fears, anxieties, phobias, obsessive compulsive behaviors along with various types and severity levels of aggression.
Q: What is behavior modification?
A: Behavior modification techniques are used to alter an animal’s behaviors and reactions to stimuli using both operant and classical conditioning techniques. The most common employed techniques include systematic desensitization; counter conditioning, reinforcement of more appropriate behaviors and extinction.

Structures and facilities for renovation and/or restoration
Park activities and education
Sustainability for the park
The third workshop will be held on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2009. The locations will be announced soon.

Tempe builder remains busy with small business commercial projects
TEMPE, Ariz. - Don’t take your eyes off the road too long, but yes, Dunkin’ Donuts has a new look, and Tempe-based Sanctuary Builder is bringing it to the Valley. On April 22, 2009, the commercial builder began construction on its third Dunkin’ Donuts project, which will showcase the chain’s spruced up exterior, chic interior and retro-like motif.
“Dunkin’ Donuts is an excellent example of taking a brand and carrying it through from product to packaging to their store designs,” explained Karl Tunberg, co-founder and CEO of Sanctuary Builder. “Our ability to work hands-on from start to completion and execute quality construction on-time and on-budget, has allowed us to secure projects like the expansion of Dunkin’ Donuts and construction of other office and small business outlets.”
