According to the Bible, the tower of Babel was NEVER BUILT! The BIG QUESTION IS, "After all these years why hasn't archeologists found ANY TRACE of the TALLEST BUILDING ever built??? Let us SEE what the Bible has to say in Genesis 11:1-6KJV
Genesis 11
1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have IMAGINED to do.
***When we look at verse 6 it states in the King James that they IMAGINED to do this which implies that they were READY to build it.
Let us look at Verse 6 in AMP translation.
The Amplified says, "6And the Lord said, Behold, they are one people and they have [a]all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have IMAGINED they can do will be impossible for them."
***Here the word IMAGINED is used again.
Oh how I would like to see what the original Hebrew says!
I always assumed by watching movies on TV that it WAS BUILT.

Olor Fuerte Magnum Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 47 reviews
"Lives up to Reviews"
Thanks Famous! I have been able to stock my Humidor, with great cigars.Enough that I can wait at minimum 1-2 week aging in separate storage Humidor.
After 1 week this Beauty, lit and smoked this Olor.I put it down several times.Because I was satisfied, and put it in my ashtray.After a couple of 'Hours', nice finish.
Bob in NC September 28, 2013
"Good Full body smoke"
Surprise surprise the initial light was peppery. About 1/4 into the cigar I noticed a spot appearing on the wrapper lower down. This spot slowly became bigger and eventually turned into a hole. Very poor wrapping towards the foot. Once i corrected this issue by pretty much torching just below the hole all the way around the cigar, it kept a line. The flavor jumped back and forth from deep earthy tobacco to cream and nuts. With a slight sweetness all the way down. Definitely got a big buzz off this cigar. Infact I stopped smoking about 10minutes ago and my head is still buzzing. Lasted me about 80minutes total before the heat started making it too harsh to continue. I believe the current rating of an 88/100 is pretty accurate. I think I might keep a 5 pack on hand but doubt I'll ever buy a whole box. Would never turn one down though.
Ian in Columbus, Ohio April 17, 2012
"A great and big smoke, esp for price"
I love this cigar. Lots of smoke, great maduro taste, and consistently good construction. After going through a 5 pack, I'm ordering a box. One of my favorites !
Clarke in Annapolis, Maryland April 14, 2012
this is a really nice smoke I got them on Monster and it was a steal .. Big smoke yet great taste I will be buying more Olor
DonB in suffolk VA February 24, 2012
"pretty good but not great"
got it in the sampler, good built cigar with a nice appearance, took some maintinance, taste and aroma were ok ish i dont it will make the top 5 or 6 in this sampler but it was pretty good
russell in brigantine,nj January 16, 2012
This magnum is as good as SLR serie G maduro, torano "signature" and other similar maduro's, except this fuete magnum has a perfect burn and more flavor
MARK in TWIN CITIES MN June 6, 2011
"Surprisingly good smoke!"
Recieved this cigar in a sampler and was more than pleasantly surprised. It is milder than you might expect, but a dense ash and flavorful to end. Goes in my Top 5 with La Gloria Cubana Serie R, Perdomo and Barber and Argenti..
scott in new hope, PA December 26, 2010
When I want a rich Honduran this is the smoke. If you have the time to relax and want a great cigar that rivals many that are a hell of a lot more money give, the Olor Fuerte mag. a shot.
jluck in oregon December 21, 2010
"Nice Smoke. I keep these in my Humidor"
Nice smooth smoke. I agree with the last comment about the this cigar. I have had 1 or 2 that are very light but all the others have a good draw.
Samtud in Birmingham October 29, 2010
"No Smoke Output"
Picked up a 5 pack to try. Had them in the humidor for 3 weeks before trying one. The burn was very even but unfortunately I could not get any smoke or flavor out of it. It took a triple puff to get any kind of smoke out of this hog. I gave up about 2" in. Will let the other 4 sit a good 2-3 months before trying again.

Another great casual shoe
beautiful and comfortable as ever - a little wider than usual for an 'M' width - perhaps because the leather is so soft - color a little darker than in the picture

Home ⋅ Photo Birth Announcements & Baby Announcements ⋅ Laura's Picks ⋅ Red ⋅ Orange
"I picked this card for our 2nd child's birth announcement. I edited these and ordered the matching address labels straight from the hospital bed on my iPad. Easy! We love everything about this design."
"We are so happy with the finished product that we received. The quality was fantastic and we loved that you supplied us envelopes to use. It made everything so much easier. We have had so many compliments on how gorgeous the card was and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend others to use your service or use it again. Also was very happy with how quickly these were delivered."
"Simply perfect announcement for our spring baby girl! I used a newborn picture that was her in a white blanket with a white flower headband. On the back I used a higher color image and asked that the baby's nickname be placed below the picture. I was surprised to receive a complimentary digital proof with this change. I love the matte finish and thick paper weight. I chose the matching address labels and bought floral stamps, which provided a clean look with the white envelopes. The few that have seen them so far love them, and I cannot wait to hear what others have to say..."
"Both the quality of paper and print are very good to excellent. The design is simply lovely and fresh. I would recommend this product highly."
"I received numerous complients on my daughter's birth announcement. She was born in October, so I thought the "leaves falling" design was perfect. I loved the simplicity on the front, and I was able to include photos of her with her siblings on the back. The quality of the photo and the card stock was exceptional as well. I would definitely recommend this card!"

Best Reusable Water Bottles
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested 32 reusable, BPA-free water bottles to find options that are spill-proof, easy to use, durable, stylish, and easy to clean. Here are the bottles, shown in descending order of overall score. Find out more about the test.
Nalgene OTG Everyday, 24-ounce ($10)
This water wonder is durable, leak-proof, and easy to sip from. It's made from Eastman Tritan plastic, which the manufacturer claims is BPA-free.
Pros: The flip-top cap makes the bottle easy to open with one hand. Measurement markings on the side of the bottle make it simple to track how much water you've had on your walk.
Cons: Some testers found the bottle lip a bit uncomfortable.
(In ruby red, slate, or spring green; nalgene-outdoor.com)
CamelBak Podium Bottle, 24-ounce ($9)
Made of pliable plastic, this sports bottle is easy to squeeze when sipping. It's made from polyethylene, a plastic that is manufactured without BPA.
Pros: A small dial closes the bottle opening so no water leaks out when it's in your bag.
Cons: The lid isn't attached, making it easier to lose.
(In blue/silver, red/silver, clear/black, clear/red, clear/blue, and clear/pink; camelbak.com)
Product Architects Inc. Polar Bottle, 20-ounce ($11) or 24-ounce ($12)
Leak- and spill-proof, these lightweight bottles are made from polyethylene, a plastic that is manufactured without BPA.
Pros: They're easy to grab, thanks to contoured grips. A plastic loop around the bottle top makes them easy to carry.
Cons: These basic bottles won't score any fashion points.
(20-oz: in seven colors; 24-oz: in eight colors. Customized and personalized bottles also available; amazon.com)
FuelBelt 22-ounce Bottle ($4)
At only $4, this bottle can keep you hydrated and leaves you with change to spare. It's made from polyethylene, a plastic that is manufactured without BPA.
Pros: By itself, it's among the cheapest of all tested. Walking belts, which hold one or two of these bottles, are sold separately ($30 to $37).
Cons: With its simple look, it's not much of a fashion statement. (In clear only; fuelbelt.com)
Reduce WaterWeek, Five 16-ounce Bottles with Tray ($20)
Five bottles stored in a holder; you can keep them filled and chilled in the fridge and you'll always have one to grab. They're made from ABS plastic with a polypropylene cap. A test performed on behalf of the manufacturer showed these bottles did not contain BPA.
Pros: The bottles are lightweight, which makes them easy to carry or toss in your bag.
Cons: Though labeled as dishwasher safe, the decorative patterns faded after 28 cycles.
(In white, blue, green, purple, pink, and multi-colored; reduceeveryday.com)
FuelBelt 22-ounce Bottle ($4)
These small bottles, sold in sets of two or four, are made from polyethylene, a plastic that is manufactured without BPA.
Pros: Belts, sold separately ($32 to $45), hold from two to six bottles enough to keep you hydrated during the lengthiest walk.
Cons: While the bottles are inexpensive, the belts are fairly pricey.
(8-oz: in hibiscus pink, clear, kiwi green, surf blue, T-purple, and clear with red cap; 10-oz: in clear with red cap only; fuelbelt.com)
Fit & Fresh LivPure Water Bottle, 20-ounce ($13)
This bottle boasts a built-in water filter for removing chlorine from tap water. It's made from polyethylene, a plastic that is manufactured without BPA.
Pros: A contoured shape makes it easy to grasp. When dropped from sipping height, neither the bottle nor the filter were damaged.
Cons: Some testers had a difficult time squeezing the bottle hard enough to force water through the filter.
(In blue, red, orange, and gray; fit-fresh.com)
Intak by Thermos Beverage Bottle, 24-ounce ($11)
Easy to use, the Intak won't leak or spill. It's made from Eastman Tritan plastic, which the manufacturer claims is BPA-free.
Pros: A plastic lid covers the sipping mechanism and pops open with the press of a button, making it easy to use with one hand. A rotating intake meter helps you count how many times you've refilled your bottle each day.
Cons: When filled with water, this bottle is on the heavy side. A small clasp for the lid broke when dropped from sipping height.
(In purple, green, blue, and pink; thermos.com)
CamelBak Better Bottle, 0.5-liter, 0.75-liter, or 1-liter ($12 to $15)
Available in three sizes and 14 colors, so you can choose one just right for you. They're made from Eastman Tritan plastic, which the manufacturer claims is BPA-free.
Pros: All three sizes are leak- and spill-proof and have measurement markings on the side, making it easy to keep track of your water intake.
Cons: A flip-up straw (built into the lid) is covered with a small plastic cap that must be removed before sipping, which can make drinking tricky. (camelbak.com)
Nalgene Narrow Mouth Everyday, 16-ounce ($9) or 32-ounce ($10)
Measurement markings and attached lids add to the appeal of these bottles. They're made from Eastman Tritan plastic, which the manufacturer claims is BPA free.
Pros: Thanks in large part to the narrow mouth design, both bottles are easy and comfortable to drink from.
Cons: The 16-ounce bottle cracked when filled with water and dropped from sipping height. The larger bottle is heavy to carry when full, weighing nearly 2 3/4 pounds.
(16-oz: in gray, slate, spring green, pink, orange and ruby; 32-oz: in gray, slate, spring green, pink, orange, and clear; nalgene-outdoor.com)
Contigo Hydration Water Bottle, 24-ounce ($13) or 32-ounce ($15)
Leak-proof and loaded with nifty features, these bottles are made from Eastman Tritan plastic, which the manufacturer claims is BPA free.
Pros: With built-in carabineers on the lids, these clip onto belt loops or backpacks. Other good news: Water won't escape when you toss the bottle in your bag because the Autoseal feature opens the sipping mechanism only when you press and hold a button.
Cons: When filled to capacity, these bottles are quite heavy, with the large one weighing around 2 1/2 pounds.
(In lime green, orange, red, blue, pink, and charcoal; gocontigo.com )
Nalgene Wide Mouth Everyday, 16-ounce ($9) or 32-ounce ($10)
The wide mouths on these bottles earned them both praise (ice fits!) and criticism (but you could spill when sipping). They're made from Eastman Tritan plastic, which the manufacturer claims is BPA-free.
Pros: The attached lids will never get lost. The large openings allow you to fill the bottles with ice cubes.
Cons: That same bottle opening can make it tricky to sip without spills. The 16-ounce bottle cracked when filled with water and dropped from sipping height. The 32-ounce model weighs nearly 2 3/4 pounds when filled.
(16-oz: in gray, slate, spring green, and pink; 32-oz: lollipop, spring green, slate, gray, pink, clear, purple, and orange; nalgene-outdoor.com)
Nathan Flip Straw Pure Bottle, 700-milliliter ($13)
This sturdy bottle won't leak or spill. It's made from Eastman Tritan plastic, which the manufacturer claims is BPA-free.
Pros: The flip-up straw built into the lid is easy to use and comfy to sip from. A carabineer-style clip is attached to the lid so you can hook the bottle onto a belt loop or a backpack.
Cons: Grasping the bottle can feel uncomfortable, as there are no indentations or grooves for fingers.
(In clear, violet, and orange. Also available in 500-milliliter and 1-liter sizes, which we didn't test; (dickssportinggoods.com)
Intak by Thermos Stainless Steel Hydration Bottle Model #HS4010, 18-ounce ($20)
Available in a variety of attractive prints and patterns, this eye-catching bottle is made from stainless steel. It doesn't have a plastic liner, though it does have some plastic pieces.
Pros: A super-easy bottle for drinking with one hand: The plastic cap covers a built-in plastic straw and pops up with just the press of a button.
Cons: The bottle got badly dented when dropped. The plastic straw rests in the water, making it a less-than-ideal choice for those looking to avoid plastic entirely. It's one of two bottles that are not touted as dishwasher-safe.
(In stripes, swirls, purple, and "think green" designs; thermos.com)
Intak by Thermos Stainless Steel Hydration Bottle Model #HS4040, 18-ounce ($20)
Made from stainless steel, this bottle is insulated and keeps drinks cold for more than two hours.
Pros: A rubber grip makes grasping the bottle secure and comfortable. A plastic cap pops up with the push of a button, making the bottle simple to open with one hand.
Cons: Because it's insulated, this bottle must be cleaned by hand. Even though the bottle is stainless steel, it has a plastic spigot for sipping, making it an imperfect choice for somebody looking to avoid plastic altogether. It's one of two bottles that are not touted as dishwasher-safe.
(In charcoal and brown; thermos.com)
Sigg Lifestyle Water Bottles with Active Top, 0.6-liter ($22) or 1-liter ($25)
These metal bottles are available in a huge array of patterns and colors. They are made from aluminum and contain a plastic liner. A test performed on behalf of the manufacturer showed that when water is kept in the bottle, no BPA migrates from the bottle or liner into the water.
Pros: Both bottles completely resist leaking and spilling, and the smaller of the two weighs only around 1 1/2 pounds when filled.
Cons: When dropped, the bottles suffered serious dents.
(In more than 150 designs; mysigg.com)
Reduce Stainless Steel Water Bottles 20-ounce ($12) or 27-ounce ($14)
These no-frills picks are leak- and spill-proof but lack features like an attached lids or grooves for an ergonomic grip, which can be handy. Both bottles are made from stainless steel; only the lids are plastic.
Pros: Both bottles have screw-on caps, which are easy to open. The rolled metal lips on these bottles make them comfy to sip from.
Cons: When filled with cold water the metal becomes very cold, making them uncomfortable to hold in your hand.
(In stainless steel only. 12-ounce size also available, which we didn't test; reduceeveryday.com)
Bean Canteen, 18-ounce ($17) or 27-ounce ($19)
These stainless steel bottles are leak- and spill-proof. Only the lids are plastic.
Pros: A carabineer (attached to the bottle lid) can be clipped onto a belt or bag during lengthy treks. The wide mouth on the bottle makes it easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher.
Cons: The larger bottle is fairly heavy when filled with water; the wide mouth makes both bottles difficult to sip from.
(In black, blue, green, red, orange, pink, stainless, plus five designs; llbean.com)
Nathan Steel Flip Straw Bottle, 700-milliliter ($20)
This bottle is made from stainless steel that does not have a plastic liner, though the bottle does have some plastic components.
Pros: A flip-up straw is built into the cap, as is a metal carabineer for clipping onto a belt loop or backpack.
Cons: The bottle dented badly when dropped; when filled with water, it weighs in at over 2 pounds. As the built-in plastic straw rests in the water, this is a less-than-perfect choice for people looking to avoid plastic altogether.
(In nine designs; dickssportinggoods.com)
Nalgene Backpacker Stainless Steel, 32-ounce ($27)
This bottle was the most expensive model we tested. It's made from stainless steel that does not have a plastic liner. Only the lid is plastic.
Pros: The attached lid is rare on a metal water bottle. The large mouth of the bottle makes it easy to clean thoroughly by hand or in the dishwasher.
Cons: The bottle weighs over 2 1/2 pounds when filled. Testers found the lid difficult to open. The wide shape of the bottle makes it very difficult to grasp, plus the thick lip makes it uncomfortable to sip from. It also dented in our drop test.
(In stainless only; nalgene-outdoor.com)
Gaiam Stainless Steel Water Bottle, 750-milliliter ($20)
Made from stainless steel, this large metal bottle doesn't have a plastic liner but does have some plastic components.
Pros: The plastic lid is attached, which assures it won't get lost. The plastic pull-up sport cap makes this bottle easy to sip from using only one hand.
Cons: This bottle leaked when it was knocked onto its side. In addition, it weighs over 2 pounds when filled and suffered a serious dent when dropped from drinking height. (In four designs; gaiam.com)

The Program supports studying processes from rainfall to runoff to infiltration and streamflow; evaporation and transpiration; as well as the flow of water in soils and aquifers and the transport of suspended, dissolved and colloidal components. Water is seen as the mode of coupling among various components of the environment and emphasis is placed on how the coupling is enabled by the water cycle and how it functions as a process. The Hydrologic Sciences Program retains a strong focus on linking the fluxes of water and the components carried by water across the boundaries between various interacting components of the terrestrial system and the mechanisms by which these fluxes co-organize over a variety of timescales and/or alter the fundamentals of the interacting components. The Program is also interested in how water interacts with the solid phase, the landscape and the ecosystem as well as how such interactions and couplings are altered by land use and climate change. Studies may address aqueous geochemistry and solid phase interactions as well as physical, chemical, and biological processes as coupled to water transport. These studies commonly involve expertise from basic sciences and mathematics, and proposals may require joint review with related programs. The Hydrologic Sciences Program will also consider some synthesis activities.

We took our nano to London
We haven't had the nano for even a week yet, and we have already gone on a trip - we flew to London for the weekend!
Carrycots save lives... (not really... but it felt like it!)
Home sweet home!
Me and My Family
A little bit about me and my expanding family. I'm Katie, and I'm married to the lovely Peter. We've been together for almost 10 years now, he needs a medal! We've been married for seven and a half years. Peter works at a London airport, doing his dream job and I'm a health care professional working in a busy operating theatre. We have two children and one on the way.
Our nano is home!
Our nano is home! I'm really amazed by the super fast delivery. I ordered the nano via the Mountain Buggy website at around 8:30am, and by midday I have an email with the track and trace number for the delivery. In less than half a working day, our order was ready and on our way!! And less than 24 hours later, our nano was delivered!! :)
Introducing my family...
My name is Shere, I'm married to Paul. We are the proud parents of Liam, our one year old son. Here are the important things you should know about us.
I'm Spanish, Paul is Dutch and we live in The Netherlands. We lived in Germany for almost six years, which is where we met, and we regularly go back to visit friends.
The best and worst of times - NICU
This title is the best possible summary I can give of our time in the neonatal intensive care unit or NICU - it is simply said, a place that changes lives forever.
I am glad to say that for us, it changed our lives for the better.
Double birth
Birth is nothing like they depict in the movies and TV shows, as much as that sounds obvious and something we all know, it is worth reminding yourself in the last days and hours before your baby or babies arrive.
Please remember, this is my birth story - not Sarah's and also not one of those horrible stories you simply should not read before your birth. Birth for a father is a life changing experience and not just because you end up holding a bundle of joy and life long commitment :) This blog is a bit photo bare, this is due to me not wanting to share some of the moments that are special to just us. I hope you understand.

There is no such breed as a Miniature Australian Cattle Dog. So no, your dog is not a miniature. However, your dog is small for her age, so I would suggest taking her to the vet for a check up. I would rate her to be closer to 18 lbs at her age. As well, contact your breeder in which you got your pup and ask for the contact's of the other people whom got a puppy from that litter. The pups may just be smaller then normal. Feeding your pup a high-grade grain-free puppy food is best. As well as regular wormings from your vet.2/23/2015 9:15:54 AM
Your dog is VERY old to be having puppies. I would not allow her to do it naturally, I would advise you to get her C-sectioned by your vet and get her spayed at the same time, so you don't have to risk her life again. Please make sure your dog is checked by your vet every couple of weeks so that her condition can be monitored.2/11/2015 5:40:05 PM
No, red eyes in any breed is not normal. There is something wrong with your pup. It could be something as simple as your pup being sleep deprived, or as complex as serious medical problem. You need to take your pup to the vet right away.1/2/2015 11:44:13 AM
Unless your puppies are papered purebreds and both the dam and sire are titled, then you should sell your puppies for what it would cost to spay/neuter in your area, plus what it costs you for the first round of shots. So if it costs $200.00 for a spay/neuter on average and the whole litter cost $120.00 for shots, then you should charge $320.00, as that will help you cover your food costs and the shots given to the puppies. But also so you know that the people adopting your puppies have the funds available to spay/neuter their dog when it is at the right age so not to add to the over-population issue.12/29/2014 2:03:44 PM

As to the AKC (American Kennel Club) and the CKC (Canadian Kennel Club), there is no such true breed as the Miniature Blue Heeler (AKA: Australian Cattle Dog). Although, some dogs can be smaller on the standard scale. The Australian Cattle Dog/Blue or Red Heeler can be anywhere from 40 - 60 lbs at adulthood. However, there is another breed that is close to the Australian Cattle Dog, which is called the Stumpy Tailed Cattle Dog. This dog resembles the A.C.D, but is smaller and of course, has a stumpy tail. The average weight of this breed is 35 - 45 lbs at adulthood. This breed could be considered to some as the 'Miniature version' of the Blue/Red Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog).8/28/2014 9:36:43 AM
Dogs are "Miniaturized" by taking runts of the litters and breeding them ois ver and over to obtain as small of dog as passable. This practice usually ends up with overly fragile and puppies that have or will end up with massive health issues and generally shortens the life span. There are a few breeds that actually have size variation. The Best Advice is talk to a vet about your dog Not all puppie born to runt litters are small but can have the same health issues as there smaller siblings. NEVER BUY A PUPPY FROM A UNACCREDITED BREEDER OR A PET STORE !!! ASK FOR PROOF OF ACCREDITATION!!! 8/31/2014 8:56:21 PM

Heeler will hurd or chase a flock of ducks or geese on the ground where ever you want them to go, but my experience anything that flys away they loose interest in. 2/20/2014 4:28:16 PM
It would be unwise to train your herding dog to hunt ducks/birds/small mammals. In any case, the dog could decide one day that the cattle, sheep or horses you've trained it to herd are also prey and it could become aggressive towards the farm stock. I would suggest getting a hunting dog and go from there.5/2/2014 11:28:24 AM
Mine killed all my chickens just for fun. After he killed mine he picked off two of my neighbors. Anything that provides a chase they will go after.1/4/2015 1:30:50 PM
Within this breed there are several eye disorders and diseases that can arise as the dogs ages if the bloodlines were not certified free of these issues prior to any breeding. Have a Vet check the eye. Maybe you'll be lucky and it is only a minor in jury or infection..but it could be glaucoma or any one of several issues that could cause him to lose his vision or even lose the eye itself.4/9/2013 11:29:38 AM
I have a Queensland Pup who's eyes also do this. Usually with mine, it come sand go's. She usually get's it when she is super tired from all say activity, or because she just ran a lap chasing birds. I would not see it as a problem as long as your dog is not running into walls when it happens. But I would just make sure to keep an eye on him.6/30/2014 2:18:50 AM
This mark can be traced to a purebred dog owned by Thomas Bentley. According to legend, a popular dog owned by Tom Bentley passed on this distinctive mark to all Australian Cattle Dogs. They also frequently have a white tip to the tail and a small white patch on the chest.4/9/2013 11:32:34 AM
Timmons being the original foundation creator of what is now called the Qweensland Heeler or Blue Heeler..more commonly called the Australian Cattle Dog.4/9/2013 11:33:32 AM
Every dog is different and if your female is naturally submissive, then yes, it is normal. But since you have a dominant male dog, it is also normal for her to take the submissive position compared to him.7/9/2014 12:58:08 PM
It is important to learn much, much about breeding before you do so to ensure you can give the pups as good a life as possible. As well as giving the new owner the best dog as possible. (It also depends on how the owner takes care of the dog, trains, etc.) The adult heelers should have good temperment. Do good with other people and dogs. Needs to be in good health, also. Good luck! 4/2/2013 3:39:57 PM
our blue healer wont eat anything besides purina beneful or those beef burgers dog food wise. he will eat anything human food wise lol9/23/2014 9:06:15 PM
Australian shepherds are more prone to health problems and have a heavier variety of coat colors, a thicker coat as well. Australian cattle dogs can sometimes live longer, their necks are very thick, and are more hardy health-wise. 2/9/2013 4:10:17 PM
Australian cattle dogs and Australian Shepherds are certainly two different breeds. But they are both in the herding group and have cemilarities too. I have a Australian shepherd and i've been around heelers, also. Aussies have lots of feathering and blue heelers have shorter coats. The two breeds are about the same size although heelers are usually heavier boned I would say. The other person said Aussies have more health problems. Well, Heelers may be somewhat less prone to health problems but Australian Shepherds are pretty healthy breeds as well. Australian Shepherds (Aussies) are breed to spend long days out working cattle and most can excell at any dog sport. I would also say that Aussies have more energy as well. I think that Australian Shepherds and Australian Cattle Dogs are both wonderful breeds. 4/2/2013 4:08:46 PM

Heelers are overly protective, he will learn to respect him and it should all change.2/11/2013 10:23:13 AM
just walks and short play periods with ball throws, my BH liked to swim and is great for her knees. (she blew her knee out) Also get anti-inflammatory or baby asprin, fish oil will help. 8/21/2013 8:24:48 AM
It is often is easy to find mixed breeds at animal shelters and you would even be saving a dog. If you would adopt then it would depend but it is usually very afordable. Most common would be about $40 to $120. Sometimes even free. Breeders don't typically breed mixed breed dogs because they are worth a lot less money then a purebred. Unless it is a commen, desirable mix such as a Goolden Doodle or Chiweenie. Say you were just going to get a pure Australian Shepherd you would have to be willing to pay about $800 to $1,500. So a shelter would likely be a wonderful option to get a cheap but good dog.4/3/2013 6:50:43 PM
Dogs unfortunately can have seizures. I don't know what the exact standard for health problems known in German Shepherds or Heelers but I will go and check it out in a minute. I'm not a professional when it comes to Australian Cattle Dogs or German Shepherds, Although I am a professional when it comes to dogs in general. I am 12 years old and show my Australian Shepherd in four different dog sports and I'm getting ready to get her a trick dog title. I have learned much about dogs, specially in the training department.4/3/2013 7:07:31 PM
Ok, I'm back. I checked and both breeds are not prone to seizures. This doesn't nessesarily mean that it can't get seizures but it is rare. From the breed standard then Blue Heelers are prone to considerably less health problems then German Shepherds. If you think your dog might be having seizures then it would be highly reccemended that you take it to the vet. I hope that your dog is Ok.4/3/2013 7:22:15 PM
Almost all dogs shed. Australian cattle dogs shed twice per year and it is quite normal. If a dog sheds to the point that they start going bald, then there could be something wrong. Shedding can be reduced by brushing thoroughly and often until the next period of time for it to shed.12/14/2013 7:53:04 PM
We breed heelers and dock all the pups tails, most ppl prefer them like that.2/11/2013 10:24:40 AM
A Heelers tail should never be Docked. Even though many people prefer this look, a heeler uses its tail like a rudder / or counter balance while running and making sharp turns this is what assists them in keeping balance while working or playing. 2/20/2014 4:25:27 PM
A-Sheila said all together (from down under) :-)11/20/2012 8:22:21 PM
My family named theirs Sophie. A good, sweet, solid, and sturdy dog she is.12/14/2013 7:56:54 PM
I named my 8 week old Shelby.4/11/2014 6:10:19 PM
Yes. My heeler retrieves duck and geese better than most labs.11/12/2012 2:29:13 PM
Any breed of dog can be trained to do this. Get your dogs favorite toy to start out with. Put your dog on a fairly long line if you can. That would be best but it would work without too. Start with your heeler beside you and have your dog sit and stay (If it can) while you through the toy. If your dog knows stay then release him. If not, just give the leash plenty of slack so it can go get it. As you release your dog say with a excited voice "go get it!" or "Go fetch!" while you point to the toy. When he/she grabs it, with an even more excited voice, call "Come here! Come here! Come on! You can do it!" or something like that. When your dog gets back, Give a treat (not a very big one and one that can be ate fast. When your dog gets the idea completely, say fetch when you release your dog instead of "Go Get it!" and "Come here!" Hope this helps 4/3/2013 7:47:32 PM
Our blue heeler had the same problem......have the vet check her anal gland sometimes it needs cleaned out.11/14/2012 1:50:06 PM
i know someone who feeds their australian cattle dog mix (mostly cattle dog), anywhere from three to three and a half cups a day, one meal a day. 2/9/2013 4:12:27 PM
Some do at 6 weeks others can take up to 8 and I have even heard it can take up till a year2/11/2013 10:26:47 AM
My cattle dog eats 2 - 3 cups every day. 12/14/2013 7:58:59 PM

Labor of 'glove'
I recently crossed paths with one of our older gloves, which I knew was used by Rube Waddell in a 20-inning game. The smooth, brown leather glove, lacking a web, laces between the fingers and nearly any padding, looks more like a driving or work glove than the early-20th century baseball glove it is. It has long intrigued me, so I took the time and opportunity to research both the game and the glove.
Legendary Philadelphia Athletics manager Connie Mack donated the glove to the Hall of Fame in 1942 – an artifact from a game the Athletics had played in Boston 37 years earlier, on July 4, 1905. On that day, Philadelphia's Rube Waddell pulled the glove on in preparation for confronting Cy Young, as the pair of future Hall of Fame pitchers faced off in the second game of an Independence Day doubleheader. Young, 38, might have been a decade older than Waddell, but he was still the ace of the Boston Americans (today's Red Sox), and had thrown a perfect game the year before at home to beat Waddell.
At the start of the game, Waddell promptly gave up two Boston runs in the bottom of the first; however, these would be the last runs the Americans would score for the next 19 innings. The ageless Young matched the Philadelphia pitcher, giving up only a two-run homer in the sixth, and at the end of nine the score was tied, 2-2.
This being the era when pitchers generally completed what they started and pitch counts were unheard of, both hurlers came back and pitched scoreless 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th innings. And still the game continued. At the end of 19 innings, both Waddell and Young were still going strong, pitching out of jams and recording outs by the bushel. Across the game's last 10 innings, each side recorded just four hits. Waddell had pitched the equivalent of two consecutive shutouts. Finally, in the top of the 20th inning, the Boston defense stumbled behind Young, giving up two unearned runs and yielding a 4-2 lead to the visiting Athletics. Over 20 innings, Young had racked up nine strikeouts and walked no one.
It was at this point, of course, that Philadelphia manager Connie Mack decided to bring in the Athletics closer—NOT. Like every other pitcher of the era, Waddell was his own "closer" (neither the term nor the position having been invented yet), so he resumed his place on the mound, with this glove, where he recorded the last three outs to close out the epic game for the win. Waddell had struck out 11 and walked only four.
The game itself was played much more briskly than might be expected. The teams combined for 28 hits, nine errors, and left a combined 28 men on base, but the game was over in just 3:31, scarcely longer than today's average nine-inning game. Boston made no substitutions in the game, Philly only one—shortstop John Knight, who was knocked out by a Cy Young pitch to the head in the 20th inning. Most of the ballplayers, in fact, played all of both games that day, including Ossee Schrecongost ("Ossee Schreck" in the press), the stalwart Athletics catcher who set a still-standing record of 29 innings caught in one day.
After the game, Waddell guessed he threw more than 250 pitches; Young estimated 290. After such a marathon, how good could the pitchers be the next time they climbed the mound? Amazingly, not only did both players make their next start but they pitched wonderfully. After two days of rest (typical for the era) they faced each other again on July 7. Waddell repeated his victory over Young, this time by a 2-1 score, but only Young pitched a complete game. Waddell did not leave the game because he was tired, however; he had hurt his hand stopping a grounder and was replaced in the eighth by another future Hall of Famer, Chief Bender, who closed out the win!

I was curious if there were any "1931 United States All-Star Tour of Japan" scholars who contribute to your blog. I have a signed ball from that tour, inscribed to a C.G. Davidson, and I am trying to track down who he might have been.

ONLY 375 AT CHICKASAW PARK OPENING Race Repudiates "Jim Crow" Programs of Republican Party SMALL CROWD DISAPPOINTS SPEAKERS Louisville, through the Republican party, made history last Saturday at 3 o'clock. Chickasaw Park, the "Jim-crow" park for Negroes of the erstwhile fair and beautiful city, firstling, loyal, true and tried of the D. O. P. was opened last Saturday afternoon as the first and greatest gift of the masters to their slaves. Not a token of esteem for service that would make the faithful look upon their present days status as citizens of this community with cheerfulness, thankfulness and increased hope for, and faith in the future, but a gift that makes a good majority of the 27,000 hide their faces in shame, quickening the flood of the free and independent, crushing their spirit and carrying them back twenty-five years behind a shineless sun, more disgusted than discouraged, not as much at the 27,000 Negroes as at the Republican party. Not the party of Lincoln, Grant and Roosevelt, but the party of Harding, Ogden and Searcy. Chickasaw Park is a reality, a part of the present day program, the "lily" white policy of the Republican administration, said to have been sanctioned, and worse than that, asked for, by certain Negroes in whom we have as [much?] [illegible] as [we?] have in the party in Louisville and Jefferson [County as?] it stands today. But these sponsors of a distinct, a separate park for Negroes, these conceivers of an idea that is a fragrant insult to the self respecting Negro; few as they may be, these harbingers and distributers of an idea that tends to instill race hatred into the minds of men, women and children, one race against the other, threatening a race relation that has been cordial and happy, promoting a "jim-crowism" that will eventually touch every phase of the life of the black people of this community, a "jim-crowism" that only the future can reveal; these "lily" white Republican leaders, with their "pussy footing" Negroes got little satisfaction out of their project S aturday afternoon. Speakers Disappointed at Small Attendance It is reported that discouragement and disappointment could be seen on each speaker as they arose to address their hearers. 375 was the approximate count of one of the few who attended, 225 adults and 150 children. This is far below the 3,000 reported by the Louisville Herald, and is more significant when it is known that this number included the guards, the colored women police and the several colored women workers, the more conspicuous of those in attendance. It is reported that several gallons of ice cream not needed were sent to Red Cross Sanitarium and other institutions and the presents for the hundreds, yea, thousands of Negro children expected to be there were sent back to headquarters. And it is the opinion of many of those who have expressed themselves on the subject since Saturday that Chickasaw Park is nothing more than a white elephant on the hands of the Republican Party and the citizens of Louisville, repudiated by the self-respecting Negroes, including hundred s of the most loyal who believe the Republican party is the ship and all else the sea. President of N. A. A. C. P. Speaks Speeches on the occasion by Lieut. Governor Ballard, Mayor Quinn and County Attorney Chilton were of the usual order. License Inspector G. G. Yound, colored, spoke in praise of the Republican party, thanking it for the park, it is claimed that he grew eloquent as he told how much the colored people appreciated such a gift. Rev. W. P. Offutt, pastor of Portland Baptist Church, the President of the N. A. A. C. P., was the other colored speaker. Much criticism has been made on Rev. Offutt for even considering the invitation as speaker at the opening of the park, being the head of an organization that is directly opposed to "jim-cromism", segregation and discrimination in any form, thousands of dollars being spent against it annually by the National office in all parts of the United States. In explaining his position as speaker, Rev. Offutt claims that he was asked to speak after it was known that Rev. C. C. Stewart of Broadway Temple would not be present to take his place as the principal speaker. He claimed that he even declined the invitation after he had seen the letter from Rev. Stewart explaining that he could not speak because of a previous engagement that he did of think of at the time the request was made of him, and that he (Rev. Offutt) did not make up his mind to speak until after he had heard the speech of Mr. Young. And not wanting to leave the white persons present feeling that Mr. Young spoke the sentiment of a large number of the Negroes of Louisville, he made his speech. It is reported that in his speech Rev. Offutt remarked that there were those present and hundreds not present who would not accept the park, and there are those who will. He added, it is said, that if it was one of the chain of city parks, and not for colored people exclusively , and if they would not be barred from Cherokee, Shawnee and the other city parks, he would accept it, otherwise he would not, as he accepted nothing that would curtail his privileges as a citizen. Thus, [Chickasaw Park?] becomes history, [whether?] for good or bad.

New York City Wine and Food Festival
"After a successful fifth anniversary celebration, the Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival presented by FOOD & WINE is gearing up to once again pay homage to one of the greatest dining cities in the world while fighting to end hunger! The sixth annual Festival takes place October 17-20, 2013. It is the only Festival in New York to bring together both legendary culinary icons from around the globe and America's most beloved television chefs.
The Festival began as a one-night event, SWEET, in the fall of 2007. In 2008, Festival Founder and Director, Lee Brian Schrager (Vice President, Corporate Communications & National Events at Southern Wine & Spirits of America) launched the inaugural Festival that has quickly grown to mirror the success of its sister Festival, the Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival presented by FOOD & WINE.
Echoing the charitable component of South Beach, the New York City Festival benefits the hunger-relief programs of Food Bank For New York City and Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry® campaign. Having raised over $6 million to date, 100% of the net proceeds from the Festival go directly to these community-based organizations. Eat. Drink. End Hunger.
The 2013 Festival will once again bring together the world's greatest chefs, winemakers, spirits producers and personalities to educate palates and entertain attendees in high style. As the Festival continues to grow, 2013 will also mark the move of the Festival's central hub to just northwest of New York City's popular Hell's Kitchen and expansion into Midtown." http://www.nycwff.org/

Wise Mans Fear March 1st [SPOILERS!!]
March 1st Wise Mans Fear comes out. He is also doing a book signing tour starting march 1st. Here are the dates at his blog.
I'm so stoked for this book.
January 12th, 2011, 05:47 PM #2
Hell yeah. I haven't looked at the blog today thanks for the update. Right on I am stoked as well.
I do not do book signings never have. Never cared about that kind of crap but I am almost tempted to go to one of the signings. Rothfuss is the literary equivalent of the band Tool for me.
January 12th, 2011, 06:50 PM #3
Lots of discussion on this one here:
Excerpt from Patrick Rothfuss' The Wise Man's Fear.
I've got a copy of it myself.
January 12th, 2011, 06:53 PM #4
For those who enjoyed The Name of the Wind, you can go ahead and pre-order The Wise Man's Fear. It's everything its predecessor was, and then some!
If you weren't thrilled by Rothfuss' debut, then you need not bother with volume 2. Style-wise and plot-lise, there is likely nothing that can win over readers who were not that impressed with TNotW.
In terms of style and tone, both novels are pretty similar. So I doubt that The Wise Man's Fear can satisfy readers that weren't enchanted by the first one. But for fans of the author, it should definitely scratch that itch!

Dude it sucks you live on the other side of the universe I think it would be a blast going to a signing with you. I need to order one of the Eolian shirts before he stops carrying them! Gotta rock the shirt to the signing.
Actually I just re-read the T-Shirt update he is going to continue to carry them. I still bought one anyway and I just preordered the book.

I am reading so many books right now, but I want to re-read TNOTW. I think I will download from audible... I've got a 45 minute commute twice a day, should be a good way to refresh myself to that world.

Thanks for posting this useful article. No one can drink dirty water but if we can recline the water so we can drink it. There are many options for reclaiming the waste water. One is an effluent treatment plant, to know more Effluent Treatment Technologies click here.
Photograph by Ann Johansson, Corbis
Published January 31, 2012
This story is part of a special National Geographic News series on global water issues.
Water filtration technology has advanced to the point where wastewater can be rendered safe for drinking, according to a new report, but legislative and psychological hurdles will need to be overcome before widespread adoption can happen.
"Expanding water reuse could significantly increase the nation's water resource, particularly in coastal communities," said Rhodes Trussell, president of Trussell Technologies in Pasadena, California, and chair of the committee that wrote the report.
Treated wastewater, also known as reclaimed water, is commonly used for irrigation and industry. And many towns already rely on reused water simply because they draw water downstream from other municipalities' wastewater release pipes.
"De facto reuse takes place throughout the country," Trussell said.
But getting the public to knowingly drink treated wastewater has been a tough sell.
(Related: "Raiding the Bread Basket: Use and Abuse of the Mississippi River Basin")
New Report Underscores Safety
A new report by the National Research Council (NRC) that reviewed current wastewater treatment technologies found that the possible health risks associated with exposure to chemical contaminants are minimal.
"Available technology can reduce chemical and microbial contaminants to levels comparable to or lower than those present in many current drinking water supplies," Trussell said.
Trussell and the other NRC report authors say the government could do much to help increase public confidence in wastewater treatment programs for drinking—also known as potable use—and help to provide a consistent minimum level of protection across the nation. Many of these goals could be met by toughening federal regulations, they add.
"For example," Trussell said, "under the Clean Water Act, the pretreatment regulations, which have made tremendous strides to reduce toxics in the nation's wastewater since they were first implemented, could be updated to more aggressively pursue organic contaminants that were not identified on the original 1977 list." In other words, by updating the standards in keeping with current knowledge, consumers can feel more confident that the water is truly safe.
Another challenge is that water reuse regulations can vary widely by location. "In most coastal communities, municipal wastewater belongs to the wastewater utility and retaining it for reuse is fairly easy," Trussell explained. "In many inland communities that water already [legally] belongs to a downstream user."
But perhaps the biggest hurdle that will need to be overcome before the public will accept drinking recycled wastewater is not technological or legislative, but psychological.
(See an interactive map of the world's most important river basins.)
Getting Used to the Idea
"The psychological side is often what's critical," said Paul Rozin, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania. Rozin appears in the upcoming documentary Last Call at the Oasis, which investigates several aspects of the looming global water crisis.
Most people have a deep revulsion to the idea of drinking reclaimed water, explained Rozin. "The revulsion comes from its closeness to sewage," he said. "For tap water or bottled water, people tend not to think where it comes from. But for recycled water, they do." (This despite the fact that many people already drink water drawn downstream from wastewater operations.)
One way to overcome this revulsion is to provide some mental separation between the recycled water and its source. In Last Call at the Oasis, for example, the filmmakers try selling treated water under the catchy product name of "Porcelain Springs" and enlist comedy actor Jack Black to vouch for its drinkability.
Another possibility, Rozin said, is to follow the example set by Singapore. "They're switching over to recycled water and they're doing it gradually and also giving people an economic advantage to switch," he said.
"First, they take recycled water and pump it into the ground so they don't go directly from recycled water to drinking. And they will also provide the water at any catered event [for free]."
One example of a successful wastewater-recycling program is the Groundwater Replenishment System in Orange County, California, Trussell said. There, wastewater is treated to a level exceeding state and federal drinking standards and is then released into local groundwater recharge basins, where it will eventually be re-drawn for municipal or private use. Previously, treated wastewater was simply discharged into the Pacific Ocean. But the new process should help extend the life of the aquifers, and it may make the idea of reclaimed water more appealing than more direct recycling, since the water receives additional filtering in the ground.
"This project just broke ground for expansion from 70 to 100 million gallons per day," Trussell said.
(Help reduce global water use by using our tool to calculate your own water footprint.)
The Groundwater Replenishment System and other programs across the United States provide reasons to be optimistic about the future of wastewater treatment programs, Trussell said. "Increasingly, projects are being conducted in the open and have successfully garnered public support," he added.
In general, Penn's Rozin said, people often greatly underestimate their ability to adapt to new things, including drinking treated water.
"There's no doubt that people can get used to it," he said. "It's just a matter of getting them there."
But while wastewater recycling could contribute significantly to the nation's available freshwater, it will not in itself solve all the water problems that we will face in the coming decades.
"Our estimate is that reuse of all the wastewater we discharge to the oceans and estuaries would increase the water available to U.S. municipalities by about 6 percent," he added. "Significant, but no panacea."
In other words, reclaiming our wastewater can be one step toward reducing the amount of freshwater we use, but it cannot solve all our problems. It may help decrease pressure on our overtapped aquifers and rivers, but we still have to improve water management and protection on a global scale.
