How to persuade my husband to agree to neuter our boy?
We have a 3-year old golden boy who is not neutered. He behaved very well except that he may not be able to keep calm when meeting some big male dogs (never had any problem with smaller dogs.) He may growl or bark, but there wasn't serious fight because they were just warning each other. Until recently, he fought with big male dogs twice. I was so sad when I saw that he was trying to bite the other dogs during the fights.
I decided to neuter him, but my husband was not happy with that... He loves our boy so much and he's afraid the neuter may change the dog's personality.
Do you have suggestions on how to persuade my husband?
Thank you!
I guess the first thing I have to say as somebody who now is back to owning 2 intact dogs..... it does not make them dog aggressive. And neutering him probably won't make him suddenly dog friendly. I think neutering will remove motivation for the macho posturing - if that is what is going on with those fights. If your dog has a fear of other dogs and feels threatened by big dogs - especially now he's gotten into fights with them, that is not going to go away.
Regardless of your decision to neuter or not, I would seriously consider stop turning him loose with other dogs.
We neutered our 3 year old Gambler in August and his personality has not changed at all. The only difference I see is that he doesn't mark or pee as often on our walks. None of our other males had personality changes either.

I neutered our boy at two years old and never noticed a change in him at all.... which is probably exactly what you'll see with your male when he's neutered. He will still get in fights.... I doubt that neutering him is going to change that in the least.
I'm afraid I didn't pay enough attention on the socializing training in the past months. This is my first dog. He is almost perfect when he turned to 2-year old. I didn't realize it might change.
Do you have any training resource to recommend about socialization?
Thank you.
For training, I recommend looking around your area for dog classes. I attend classes with somebody who owns a fairly aggressive St. Bernard. I even posted a comment last year re/my upset when this dog was heeling behind my Jacks and suddenly started chasing him while growling and snarling. It scared the heck out of me and there were a lot of people who shared the private comments with me before or after class about how they did not trust that dog and didn't want him there.
Fast forward 2 months and the instructor working closely with the owner, and this dog made a complete turnaround.
Now... I don't think this dog would ever be one that could handle being turned loose in a dog park, but as far as being in a crowded space around other dogs, he's doing great. I think that is honestly the goal you want right now.
There are studies that show that if a male dog has aggression issues, neutering is helpful. And often the marking, etc behavior improves... It will not house train a dog.... My two boys are neutered and wonderful pets.... They get along...there are also three intact girls and two spayed girls in the house. No fighting issues, but sometimes if food is involved, there might be a squabble...

Neutering can take the edge off some boy dog behaviors, but it shouldn't be considered the primary solution to social problems. I'm definitely supportive of the idea in the situations you describe, but you should also take a training approach to the problem.
As far as convincing your husband, call your vet and enlist his or her help. Neutering a boy, especially after maturity, is a good decision.

NetApp Inc. Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (NTAP)
TheStreet) -- NetApp (Nasdaq: NTAP) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a hold with a ratings score of C+ . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

- NTAP's revenue growth trails the industry average of 27.6%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.3%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Although NTAP's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.28 is very low, it is currently higher than that of the industry average. To add to this, NTAP has a quick ratio of 1.73, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- The gross profit margin for NETAPP INC is rather high; currently it is at 64.90%. Regardless of NTAP's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, NTAP's net profit margin of 7.11% is significantly lower than the industry average.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Computers & Peripherals industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 33.8% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $165.60 million to $109.60 million.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. In comparison to the other companies in the Computers & Peripherals industry and the overall market, NETAPP INC's return on equity is significantly below that of the industry average and is below that of the S&P 500.

The Official LiverKick.com Rankings
- Published in Rankings
LiverKick Rankings Updated on 12/15/2015
They say that the news never sleeps, and in that regard, neither do I, apparently. Keeping Dutch hours leads you to find pretty cool stuff in the wee hours of the morning, and it turns out that Badr Hari's return opponent has been announced by It's Showtime, officially, as has the rest of the Lyon card and it is lining up to be absolutely incredible.
The main event features the return of the Bad Boy, Badr Hari! Badr will be coming back after a year layoff due to some nagging legal issues, and his return opponent has been hotly debated for the past few weeks or so. The long-standing rumor was that the fight between Gokhan Saki and Badr Hari that was originally airmarked for the Amsterdam ArenA show would materialize in Lyon, but instead local kickboxer Tony Gregory has been called back into action to fight Badr Hari. This is a great return bout for Badr Hari, as it gives him a chance to hone his skills and gives him a bit of a cushion before heading back into the deep waters. Tony Gregory retired from kickboxing a few years ago to pursue a boxing career, but after disappointing results he finds himself back in the kickboxing mix, this time against one of the most dangerous fighters in the kickboxing world.
Tyrone Spong steps back into the It's Showtime ring, this time at Heavyweight as he'll take on Igor Mihaljevic, a Croatian Heavyweight. Igor provides a stiff challenge at Heavyweight for Spong, who is right now training with King Mo Lawal in Holland. Spong looks to cement his spot as one of the elite Heavyweights in the world by taking the fight to Igor here. Paul Slowinski's jam-packed year doesn't stop just yet, as he will take on the man that is more of a beast, the Romanian Daniel Ghita. Ghita looks to be heading into his fight with Hesdy Gerges in a few weeks, and a fight against Slowinski will provide another challenge, but will Slowinski just be a stepping stone for Ghita?
Then we move down from Heavyweight to Middleweight, as It's Showtime's 70kg MAX division fills out the rest of the card, with two-time K-1 MAX World Grand Prix Champion Giorgio Petrosyan takes on a fighter that last year put on one of the best fights imaginable against Mike Zambidis, Chahid Oulad El Hadj. This is a huge fight for Chahid, and for Petrosyan it is just another day at the office. With It's Showtime planning a 70kg MAX tournament in July and both men rumored to be involved, a win here is huge for momentum.
It's Showtime's 70kg MAX champion defends his crown finally, as Chris Ngimbi looks to ward off Willy Borrell. Ngimbi's title win has been disputed by some fans, so a strong performance by Ngimbi can help solidify his spot in It's Showtime this year and help build momentum for the MAX tournament in Russia this July. Rounding out the card is Abder Penda facing off against Marat Grigorian at 70kg, with both men looking to leave a big impression on the international kickboxing scene.
I'll say this, It's Showtime hasn't disappointed yet and keeps marching forward for what looks to be a banner year. I know many fans are upset with the lack of K-1, but It's Showtime is really churning out the big cards. [source]
Truly fascinating night in Thailand tonight as K-1 held the K-1 World MAX Finals to crown the K-1 MAX Champion. That champion will hold the K-1 MAX/70kg Championship and go on to defend it against all comers. Many believed that Buakaw Banchamek couldn't lose against Enriko Kehl, especially after the showing last year that saw Buakaw dismantle Kehl and pick up a decision. What happened in the fight was much stranger than fiction, that is for sure.
Enriko Kehl came into the fight focused and was landing clean combinations and shots on Banchamek. Buakaw spent most of the fight catching Kehl's kicks or clinching him then dumping him to the mat. That led to Buakaw being in control in the ring, but not landing anything significant. Many believed that this would assure Buakaw an easy victory against Kehl, but in what is typical K-1 fashion when a fight is close, it was ruled a draw. Before anyone goes into conspiracy theory mode, those trips, dumps and clinches don't score points in K-1 rules. The official K-1 rules are that a clinch must be immediately broken or that a single knee can be thrown from a one-handed clinch. That is just the rules.
The fight was to go to an extension round, the only problem was that Buakaw was nowhere to be seen. Buakaw, along with his trainers and manager Yim, left the ringside area when they found out that there would be an extension round. Buakaw, who has fought in extension rounds in K-1 numerous times now, knows how it works, so there really was no reason for him to storm out. If you were paying attention to Banchamek's social media and to the news leading into the fight, this behavior won't seem that odd to you, as Banchamek had gone to the press numerous times in the lead-up to this event with some interesting stories. Those stories include doubts as to K-1's legitimacy, him wondering if he'd be paid the money that he'd get from fighting in the event and even claiming that K-1 was involved in illegal gambling on the event.
Curiously it was all done in front of a Top King banner, with Top King being the latest Thai promotion that Buakaw has signed with after falling out with Yokkao, Thai Fight and MAX Muay Thai over the years. Buakaw was nowhere to be seen and the fight was ruled in favor of Enriko Kehl due to disqualification via forfeit. All of the credit in the world goes to Enriko Kehl who very clearly learned from their first encounter and made improvements and adjustments to meet the Thai legend on Thai soil in a fight that no one thought that he could win.
Regardless of anyone's opinion on if the extra round was deserved or not, this was unprofessional behavior from Banchamek and not the first time that he had done something similar in K-1 (see the Zhou Zhi Peng fight in December 2013 in China).
UPDATE: If you watch the video above it is clear that Buakaw and his team left before the decision was even rendered. We received confirmation that Buakaw and his team left immediately after round three ended and jumped into a car without a word to anyone else.
Amidst all the bad K-1 news, Europe's top fighting organization, It's Showtime, has been a hot topic of conversation lately. As plans for 2011 come together, we're seeing more and more events announced by the company, who find themselves constantly expanding their product throughout the world. But in the middle of all the positive news came an unfortunate announcement last week – due to a planned co-promotion with K-1 falling through, It's Showtime would not run their big annual show at the Amsterdam Arena in 2011.
Between this latest news, all the rumors swirling around K-1, Badr Hari's return, and various other stories, now seemed like a good time to speak to the always forthcoming It's Showtime president Simon Rutz. As always, Mr. Rutz offered plenty of insight into their dealings with K-1 and so much more.
Read on for part 1 of this 2 part exclusive LiverKick.com interview, as we get the story on exactly what happened with the canceled Amsterdam Arena event and the state of affairs for K-1 and It's Showtime.
LiverKick.com: It's a shame you may not run in the Amsterdam Arena this year. When did you begin to think this show might not happen?
Simon Rutz: We have already known for many years that K-1 has big problems, but a few months ago they said to me that they have a new investor. That was the reason why I agreed to cooperate on the Amsterdam Arena event in May this year. Around Christmas I felt that there was something wrong with their situation because they didn't answer my requests anymore.
LK: What were the plans for the show? Did you have fighters already lined up?
SR: When It's Showtime and K-1 cooperate I always give my suggestions, and most of the time they use them. My suggestions for this year were: Badr Hari vs. Gokhan Saki; Peter Aerts vs. Tyrone Spong; and Hesdy Gerges vs. Alistair Overeem, Errol Zimmerman, or someone else.
LK: We've heard a lot about K-1 not paying fighters, and I know Giorgio Petrosyan had problems with that last year. Are there It's Showtime or Black Label fighters who are waiting to be paid by K-1?
SR: Yes, the following fighters have not been paid for a fight: Melvin Manhoef, Tyrone Spong, Daniel Ghita, Hesdy Gerges, Gago Drago, Pajonsuk, Dzevad Poturak, Chahid, and Giorgio Petrosyan still needs his win bonus from the last K-1 MAX tournament. It is a lot of money! I never let our fighters fight before they are paid for their last fight. I hear that some other fighters haven't gotten their money for 4 fights. It is a sad situation for all the fighters.
LK: Given all these problems, what, in your opinion, does K-1 need to do to survive?
SR: They need a lot of money, and they must ask my advice (and do something with that advice) because they do a lot of stupid things.
LK: If they don't get that money, and they don't survive, what will it mean for kickboxing and for It's Showtime?
SR: If they don't survive it is very bad for the sport and for many fighters. For It's Showtime, it would mean that we are the number 1 kickboxing organization in the world and everybody will look to us. We are getting busy like never before. We have already seen a movement from K-1 to It's Showtime. Almost every day I talk with people around the world who want to organize an It's Showtime event in their country.
LK: Would you ever consider buying out K-1?
SR: Why should I do that? I have my own brand and company who is healthy and is going very well. Also, what am I buying then? Only a lot of problems! The [K-1] name is very strong, but I already have a good name. I will keep my money in my pocket!
LK: You said you are talking with people around the world, and this looks like a huge year for you with new events in England, Germany, and Spain. Any details on those shows?
SR: Our schedule for the year is now: March 6 – Amsterdam, Holland; March 26 – Brussels, Belgium; May 14 – Lyon, France (not signed yet); May – Manheim, Germany (not signed yet); June 11 – Warsaw, Poland; July 23 – Sochi, Russia; August 27 – Sarajevo, Bosnia; September 18 – Amsterdam, Holland; September 24 – Manchester, England (not signed yet); October 8 – Geneva, Switzerland; End of December in Amsterdam for the It's Showtime Christmas Edition again. We are also talking about It's Showtime events in Spain, Ukraine, and Australia. As you see, we are really busy. We have at least 10 big events this year, maybe 12.
LK: You know I have to ask – any further info on possibly running in the United States?
SR: I am getting more and more interest for It's Showtime events in the US. Last week, one of the TV stations from the US bought our It's Showtime events, so that is starting. I also am speaking with several people to see what the possibilities are in the US. But when we start, we will start slowly with events for 2,000 people.
LK: With all this expansion, where do you want It's Showtime to be in 2 years?
SR: Pff......... 6 months ago I said that in 5 years It's Showtime would organize between 15 and 20 events a year, but we are going so fast, maybe next year we will already be doing 15 events a year!
Check back tomorrow for the conclusion of this interview as we discuss Remy Bonjasky's retirement, Cosmo Alexandre, the Hesdy Gerges/Semmy Schilt controversy, and of course, Badr Hari.
Ha! Just when you thought you were done having to listen to me (@dvewlsh / @LiverKickdotcom) ramble on about Kickboxing, you were wrong. This time I'm joined by a very special guest by the way of GLORY 10 Middleweight Champion Joe Schilling as we discuss his big victory at GLORY 10 as well as how he felt going into the tournament and how his life has changed after it. Joe also weighs in on the GLORY 11 card coming up this week and that his next fight will be at GLORY 12 New York.

K-1 fighter Badr Hari lives a pretty crazy life that has seen a great deal of controversy, with some of that controversy revolving around his relationship with Estelle Cruijff, the former wife of football star Ruud Gullit. It looks like the odd love affair, punctuated by Badr Hari's brawl at the Amsterdam ArenA that left Koen Everink in rough shape, has finally come to an end and has hit the Dutch tabloids. The relationship between the two was fodder for the press for quite a while and it looks like today will be no different.
It is interesting to note that Badr Hari's next court date is in October and that the relationship couldn't outlast the charges accrued during it. Maybe Badr Hari will finally find some peace and get back into fighting shape in time for the K-1 World Grand Prix this time around.
For Badr Hari and Morosanu fans the upcoming bout between the two sluggers was a highlight for the year. It was Badr Hari's return to the ring after some time off and it was against the best competition that he's faced since Zabit Samedov in 2013. But, much like the proposed fight with Patrice Quateron from a previous GFC event, it looks like the fans will have yet another Badr Hari fight fall through for the time being.
The official statement is vague, citing "conditions" of the fights as the reason. Morosanu isn't one to pull out of a fight and if Badr Hari's social media is any indication he seems ready to go, so one has to assume that there is something strange going on here. Much like when Patrice Quateron was pulled from the Hari fight for not "creating a family friendly atmosphere" before, we are hearing rumors of Badr Hari being unhappy with something heading into this fight.
For now the entire event is postponed, so it looks like GFC will try to keep the fight between the two together, but if Hari is truly unhappy with the arrangement it may simply not happen. GFC has also promised a more entertaining event than the last one, for what that is worth.
Whew, what a weekend, right? Glory 3 Rome happened and it was pretty incredible. Giorgio Petrosyan continued his reign of dominance in the world of 70kg Kickboxing and shows no signs of relenting, but fighters like Sanny Dahlback and Davit Kiria came from out of nowhere and impressed the world. Listen to Rian Scalia (@rianscalia) and myself (@LiverKickdotcom / @dvewlsh) as we discuss the latest and greatest in Kickboxing news.

Yesterday we reported that Badr Hari vs. Ismael Londt was rumored for Grozny in Russia but there were no real details or promotional materials to verify this. Today after the news had spread throughout the internet it was confirmed that Badr Hari will indeed fight Ismael Londt on August 22nd in Grozny, Russia under the banner of Akhmat Fight Show. Needless to say this seems to be all signs pointing towards the fight happening considering Badr Hari has been linked with Ramzan Kadyrov in the past and is considered a personal friend of Kadyrov.
For those unaware of Akhmat Fight Show, there was a previous Akhmat show earlier this year that was associated with the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov. Our friend Patrick Wyman documented the issues with Kadyrov's association with combat sports and his questionable methods and associations. This should be interesting. Badr Hari fighting on a show linked with an accused Russian war criminal.
Over the last few months there have been various reports that four-time K-1 World Grand Prix Champion, 2012 Glory Grand Slam and Glory Heavyweight Champion Semmy Schilt will no longer be fighting. The rumors were first centered around his participation in future tournaments, as after his victory on New Year's Eve in 2012 he stated that he would not participate in future tournaments, although it was quickly brushed off. Since then there has been talk about him fighting Gokhan Saki with the Heavyweight title on the line, but there has also been talk of Schilt no longer fighting at all.
Since last night LiverKick has received numerous reports from reliable sources that Semmy Schilt is retired, effective immediately. The decision was apparently not an easy one for the Hightower, who was instructed to retire from his medical team due to a heart condition that was discovered. This marks the retirement of what may be the greatest Heavyweight Kickboxer of all time, with five big tournament victories under his belt and numerous world championships. Schilt was also a pioneer in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts, making his debut in Pancrase in 1996, fighting in both the UFC and PRIDE over the course of his career.

More trash talk in Augusta on Monday, this time between two of the companies that pick up trash for thousands of Augusta homeowners.
A-1 Disposal was asking for more money from Advanced Disposal. That's the company that contracts them to pick up trash. A-1 was asking for more money because of the contract's mandate that all garbage trucks be no more than five years old, which meant that A-1 would have to spend money to replace their trucks, some of which are nine or ten years old.
After negotiating for hours, both companies decided to work together and Advanced Disposal agreed on a rate of $12, still short of the $14 that A-1 was asking for.
If no decision was reaching Monday, Commissioner Andy Cheek told News 12 trash pickup in January may have been interrupted.

A morning with a taste expert
In ancient times, they protected kings from people wanting to poison them. Today, tasters guarantee excellence. Meet the Colombian Alexis Rodriguez working in this field at Nespresso.
An icy morning in January, Canton De Vaud, Switzerland, from it's tour ronde, the town of Orbe Overlooks a plain that stretches as far as the eye can see. At the heart of this no man's land, a modern anthill is at work, 24 hours a day - the international headquarters of Nestlé Nespresso. Its smooth-walled architecture, set off with a pattern of overlapping rectangles, is reminiscent of the elegant casing of its capsules. The aroma of coffee filtering from deep within starts stirring my still half-asleep sense of smell. It's 8:30am. Time for a little coffee. At the entrance to the factory, like in an haute couture workshop, collections of capsules create a large and colorful wall fresco. The voyage to the world of coffee has begun. I spot a coffee plant with green leaves and red berries. Where am I? In Nicaragua, India, Kenya or Switzerland? A lover of horticulture is tending to it, delicately wiping its leaves. The jewel in the crown of the Nespresso Grands Crus. The first coffee makes me feel tipsy. Delicately tasting a Ristretto I am now at the bar of an Italian trattoria… A warm accent from South America brings me back to reality. Draped in a researcher's coat, Alexis Rodriguez, surrounded by five other tasters, invites me to "la degustación". A rare privilege, the importance of which I realize when I have to take off my jewellery and put on the regulation white smock and rubber-soled safety shoes. Let's not joke about science. With his diplomas in microbiology and biostatistics and his many travels to wherever the magic bean grows, the green coffee manager, born in Bogotá in Columbia, starts the ceremony.
In a gathering that borders on the religious, a man who has been a Nespresso taster since 1999 carefully lifts the lid and breathes in. He then plunges his silver spoon into the container, which is always the same so that the taste does not change. He brings the spoon to his lips, eyes closed, and forcefully and very noisily sucks in the hot beverage to soak up its deepest flavors. With the precision of an oenologist, he moves the beverage around his mouth and spits it out in one quick movement. He notes a couple of things on his computer and rinses his spoon with a splash of water. Every morning the same ritual is repeated up to five times at the same pace, with the same level of precision and the same symphony of slurps.
Sitting by the bay windows that open on to the river Orbe, I discover that here, in the green coffee tasting room, is the beating heart of Nespresso. Every month, in order to select the best beans, nearly six hundred samples are tested by this group of specialists. A laboratory, unlike any other. A standardized process with very strict rules: tasting happens before midday, when the taste buds have not yet been bombarded by too many spices and tastes. Wearing perfume or scented creams is also not allowed. Unused to this score where the notes become tastes in a clever alchemy, I silently witness the concert. Sitting at a round table with mini stainless steel basins and minute personal computers, the tasters solemnly participate in the ceremony. In front of each of them is a parade of six cups, grouped in a perfect line under a small card displaying the name and the map of the country that the coffee comes from (Columbia, Brazil, Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Kenya, Ethiopia, India). The green coffee is placed dry in the white porcelain coffee pots. The coffee pots are then filled with fresh water heated to between 90 and 92°C (194 and 197.6°F), always 5g of coffee to 100ml of water. From the first tasting, the 3D trip is instantaneous. The beans from India remind me of the mysterious landscapes that I've crossed. Those from Columbia conjure up images of high mountains hollowed by waterfalls. Those from Brazil bring to mind its plateaus. Recognizing basic tastes such as acidity, bitterness, sweetness, saltiness, fragrances or other typical notes requires hard work. But sensitivity is physiological and that's what is expressed first of all, says Alexis Rodriguez. That's surely true. As I try to slurp the liquid myself, with a sound that goes against all my good manners, I scratch my throat, half strangle myself, sneeze in a very non-technical way and spit out the subtle cru that seems to me to have a strange taste. It's clear that I'm no expert!
Every morning, the ritual is repeated up to five times, at the same pace, with the same level of precision.
An architect of aromas, Alexis Rodriguez explains to me how he honed his senses at the laboratory of the largest cooperative of Colombian producers, "la Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia". I worked on the development of saps. These components are the precursors of the smell and the taste of coffee that only appear after roasting. The equivalent of the fermentation of cheese." For two months a year, he practises his talent in twelve countries, each containing three production areas. In a few sentences, Alexis Rodriguez manages to take me along with him on his quest of the Nespresso 'AAA Sustainable Quality' programme that vouches for the quality of coffee produced in a way that respects the environment. As if on a imaginary screen, I watch a film of his meticulous visits to faraway plantations. Making sure that they keep to their sustainable commitment in the harvest, production, drying and fermentation processes, I imagine him letting the freshly harvested beans dance in his hand to measure their quality. "Only the top 1% of the world's green coffee crop meets Nespresso specific taste and aroma profiles as well as its demanding quality standards", he says.
From a poetic name invented by the marketing teams of Nespresso, Alexis Rodriguez has to create the harmonies of the GRANDS CRUS of tomorrow. Carefully stored and then very lightly roasted and ground to better appreciate the notes and the origins, the subtle mixes of green coffee are then put together in hand-made capsules. After validating the choice of these aesthetes of taste, the formulation is given to the factory for industrialisation, and it then goes through application groups to be redimensioned and undergo final testing. Several special editions are created this way every year.
Able to detect a thousand identifiable substances with his sense of smell, Alexis Rodriguez trusts his palette to appreciate the harmony of a piece of orange peel and a cup of Indriya, a mix of Arabica and Robusta from southern India. I feel more at ease with this trip of the senses: I see myself in a fuchsia pink silk sari, wandering through the green forests and reserves of the Kanartaka region....Paris-Lausanne, four hours by train, thousands of kilometres covered in just a few moments of tasting.
Six hundred samples of green coffee are tested here every month to develop the best crus.

"When the world zigs, zag"
This philosophy was born out of the first print execution we ever produced back in 1982 to launch black Levi's. It became something of a model for our own business…and how we approach Client's problems always seeking to challenge the prevailing or conventional wisdom.
The philosophy has created moments in our own history when we decided to go against the grain of our industry. We were the first agency to become financially transparent. We were the first agency to create a micro network to serve global business. We were the first agency to recognise the need for channel planning to be at the heart of all creative development so we created a discipline called Engagement planning.
Engagement planning, not to be confused with media planning, is focused on understanding the consumer journey, bringing clarity to the roles different channels play in the marketing mix, identifying how brands can be built through interaction and participation, and most importantly using disruptive channel thinking to get to bigger ideas that deliver a step change in communication effectiveness.
At BBH, we believe in one central belief; that big, enduring ideas are the key to successful communications that create value for our Clients. It was true in 1982. It is even more true today. And in an increasingly complex and competitive world, it will be truer still tomorrow. So everything we do and all our structures support that single thought.
Samsung Bedtime VR Stories project harnesses the power of virtual reality to connect parents with their children for a totally new story experience.
Samsung Electronics today announced the launch of a live VR storytelling app, Bedtime VR Stories, which is a Launching People initiative that brings parents and kids together in a unique twist on the traditional bedtime story.
Launching People is a global campaign by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. designed to help consumers unleash their potential and create meaningful change through the use of Samsung technology. In line with this campaign, Samsung reinvents one of the most precious parts of a parent's day, Bedtime VR Stories combines the latest innovations in virtual reality with the power and importance of traditional storytelling, in another step towards changing the way people interact with VR.
This prototype technology developed by Samsung is being case tested with select families across the UK to establish the benefits virtual storytelling can give to families who cannot always be in the same place for a bedtime story. Using a Gear VR headset, the technology means parents will be able to tell their children a bedtime story like no other with both parent and child transported to far flung worlds and galaxies, interacting with dinosaurs, arctic animals and robots.
However far apart they are, parents will be able to share that all-important bedtime story with their child, using VR technology to connect them in the same virtual world. The child will even hear their parent reciting the story and be able to interact with their parent as though they are in the same room, whilst also getting the benefit of VR technology immersing them in an exciting world that will capture their imagination.
The VR story, titled the 'Most Wonderful Place to Be' sees the parent and their child transported to a fantastical world. With both sat on a magical bed, they go on a journey that takes them from the bedroom to three magical places. First stop is the Arctic, in the company of Jen the Penguin. Next, Dan the Dinosaur takes them to meet the rest of his family in a pre-historic world. Finally, they fly into outer space with Robot Jo, for a musical finale. Watch the video here
"At Samsung, we're committed to driving innovation to create technology that will make a difference to the way people live their lives. With Bedtime VR Stories, we're hoping that this prototype will show an important new exciting genre of virtual experience – and something that will define the use of virtual reality over the coming years," said Conor Pierce, Vice President, IT & Mobile Division, Samsung UK & Ireland. "We've harnessed the power of VR to reunite parents and children for a unique storytelling experience, giving us a glimpse of what the traditional story time may look like in the very near future."

Loyola course information is available on our courses site. Please make sure that you have selected the correct semester to get an accurate listing of course descriptions and schedules.
Exchange students at Loyola are required to take a full-time load of courses to maintain the status of the F-1 student visa. Full-time status is officially 12-15 credits. Each course at Loyola is typically worth 3 credits; therefore, exchange students typically take four or five courses per semester depending on the requirements of their university. Loyola recommends taking five courses.
At Loyola, the average class size is around 25 students. The classroom environment tends to be very dynamic with a lot of interaction between the students and the professors. Due to the dynamic nature, while Loyola does not have a college-wide attendance policy, most professors will have one. The policy is usually outlined in the syllabus and discussed in the first class of the semester. Even if there is no written policy, students are expected to attend class.
There are many assignments for each course, which you may not be used to. This is typical of a small American college. There are weekly readings, and usually papers, group projects and presentations, and exams. Because there are so many assignments, your final grade is comprised of many different parts.
On the Exchange Student Registration Form we require you to list your course selections. You should use the block schedule to assure no time conflicts in classes. When selecting your courses, please refer to Loyola's course listings for the semester that you wish to attend Loyola University (https://courses.loyola.edu/). This course listing allows you to see which courses are available for the semester that you will be attending, and on what days and times they are offered. The fall courses are usually available online in late February, and the spring courses are usually available online in late September.
Please list as many courses as possible (at least 10) that you are interested in taking, and that will fulfill the requirements of your home university. Please work with your home institution when selecting courses. The Office of International Programs will pre-register you for courses. Once a final schedule of courses has been worked out, we will contact you via email to notify you of which courses you are registered in for the semester. Once you arrive on campus, you will have until the end of first week of classes to make changes to your schedule. After the first week of classes, you cannot add a course and if you drop a course it will show on your Loyola transcript as a "Withdrawal." Remember that you must enroll and remain in at least four courses for the duration of the semester to maintain your legal status for your visa.

President Bush has nominated federal appeals court judge John Roberts for a seat on the Supreme Court.
In a primetime announcement from the White House, Bush said Roberts is "one of the best legal minds of his generation." And Bush said Roberts "has devoted his entire professional life to the cause of justice."
Roberts, who stood with the president, said he has "a deep regard for the court as an institution."
If confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate, the 50-year-old Roberts would succeed retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. She has long been a swing vote on a court divided narrowly on issues such as abortion, affirmative action, states' rights and the death penalty.

KeenOn Fashion with private label collection for retailers
The B2B showroom platform KeenOn Fashion expands its assortment with a private label supply. From now on retailers cannot only chose from the collections of international brands such as H.I.S, Justing or Voi Footwear on www.keenon-fashion.com, but also access collections from selected private label suppliers. Depending on the retailers' wishes, the ranges can be labelled with the new KeenOn Fashion brand "featuring" or with any other, retailer-owned label.
Morten Severon, Managing Director of KeenOn Fashion, comments on the expansion: "With the private label we complete our range once more with an attractive variation. Our offer is unique. Our costumers not only get a big selection, but also benefit from the transparency and the service package at our platform."
In its first season, the private label assortment is delivered by around 15 suppliers from Europe. It offers denims, knitwear, shirts and dresses for women. Fashion for men and kids are planned to follow. Wholesale prices range in the lower to middle price segment with an attractive calculation for the retailers.
All services concerning the ordering process of the private label collection (such processing, logistics and payment methods) work out just in the same way as when ordering any other brands at KeenOn Fashion.
Collections are available for pre-order and partly even for immediate dispatch. Minimum ordering sizes shall be kept small and ordering amounts will be consolidated to enable not only large-scale, but also smaller retailers to make use of the service.
KeenOn Fashion was founded as an online showroom by Hermes-OTTO International in Hamburg/Germany in December 2011. It currently offers the collections of over 60 brands in mens, womens and kidswear as well as accessories, shoes and lingerie.
The B2B trade platform assumes the complete handling from order and payment processes to logistic services for retailers and providers.

So why didn't you answer?
So why didn't you answer?
You can't kill me I'm immortal
I'm not afraid to die my soul will travel on
I'm not sifting through a thousand posts just to hear your denial ... you know you behaved as a troll, but that's what trolls do.
Back under your bridge, let the grown ups talk.
But if u mean do i hav a choice outside this poll, then yes i do. I havnt studyd every religion etc, but i havnt seen any evidence that would pursuade me in the slightest that there might be some sort of creator etc.
But i do hav a softspot for religion of sorts. I kan see myself joining in the antix of a pagan club of some sort celebrating nature or a solstice, or any excuse for sex and drinking and feasting.
Yeah this is such a "gutter personal attack" isn't it?
Do Buddhist believe in god?
No, we do not. There are several reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origin in fear. The Buddha says:
"Gripped by fear men go to the sacred mountains,
sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines".
Dp 188
Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of gods in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god or gods gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in a particular god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha's teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.
The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god's words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god's nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.
The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin on the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of atheists and free-thinkers, not to mention many Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a god. Some claim that belief in god's power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties, through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.

Yeah you're real Christian and religious ain't you? Hypocrite, you are against everything the Nazarene taught, and if he came back you'd crucify him again for being liberal scum. Here it is, Christmas day, and instead of offering something good, or positive, you spew your lies, ignorance, and hatred...way to go man, you're a real Christian alright.
BTW punk, do you not know how to use the search thread by author function? There's a troll here all right and it's you, you sick degenerate!

Had a look at azbilliards and i see that NO plus MIGHTBE equalled YES.
I had a glance at some postings -- the uzual arguements.
And the only one that i saw that half interested me woz the arguement relating to the unlikely universe.
In fakt i hav spent much time recently reading up on the unlikely universe -- and the whole topik iz very interesting. However the science fakts are wrong (very wrong, but very interesting) and the logik iz flawed (but i admit very sticky).

Gun control in the U.S.
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Gun control is like Vatican Roulette: knowing when to shoot"
Gun Control is one of the 4 major issues in U.S. politics, along with flag burning, Somalian rights, and Mexican border-hopping. It has sparked much debate between the left-wing Socialist Hippie and Southern redneck factions both among civilians and in the United States Congress.
Gun Control has long been debated in the two houses of U.S. Congress. Since Americans like to sweep their own history under the rug (which is filled with war, slavery, and massacres of Native Americans), we will skip the entire history of gun control and instead go right to the post-2000 era, otherwise known as the "Dick Cheney missile craze".
21st Century
After a brief hiatus at the beginning of the century, the Gun Control debate surfaced again to the forefront of U.S. politics when the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 expired. This caused the Hippies in Congress to clamor for an extension of the ban, simply because it went along perfectly with their radical agenda including Gay rights and protecting the environment.
The reason behind this failure to extend the ban was the NRA, an anarchist terrorism operation that gained significant political power by bribing politicians in Congress and educating a bunch of dumb hicks regarding new concepts such as "Constitutional rights" and "The Second Amendment". The NRA made sure that Assault Weapons would be allowed, arguing that hard-working Americans needed them for purposes such as "target shooting", "hunting", and "self defense". Other, smaller anarchist terrorism organizations such as the Gun Owners of America advocated even more reactionary policies, such as allowing hillbillies to carry guns next to schools. The reasoning given for this stance is that some of the hillbillies in question may actually be Vietnam War veterans with PTSD, in which case they most certainly should be allowed to bear arms near a school.
Shootings at public schools, private colleges, movie theaters, and other locations during this century have sparked renewed debate about the issue of Gun Control every time they happen. Most recently were the 2012 Aurora shooting in a movie theater in Colorado, and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting just last month. Incited by these incidents, many Hippies, Communists, and Environmental Wackos have protested in favor of an assault weapons ban. However, such a ban would take away "'r' freedom and heritages" as stated by one Karenga County redneck. As a solution to this problem, NRA Vice-President Wayne LaPierre, has proposed the sensible idea of bringing even more guns to the picture, putting forth a program of combating "bad guys with guns" with "good guys with guns". Some rural southern towns have already embraced this idea, arming local PTSD veterans with weapons to help protect our schools. Because, of course the best way to protect our children is by disseminating a bunch of trigger-happy rednecks among them.
Regional and partisan divides
Views on gun control in the U.S. vary from state to state. There are three different types of states when it comes to this issue. First of all, there's the states of the Socialist Hippies mentioned earlier, who tend to restrict the sale of firearms in favor of other forms of entertainment such as pot, LSD, Heroin, tree hugging, and protesting. Next, there are the Conservative states, who compensate for their lack of a social life by allowing the sale of dangerous weapons that prove to be a wonderful form of entertainment. Finally, there are those rural, whitebread states, who are anti gun control because they want to own rifles and shotguns for hunting, but who vote Democratic because they're poor pieces of shit who want the welfare checks and are too lazy/uneducated to get a job like the rest of us. In fact, according to a recent study conducted by Irrelevant Statistics Inc., this demographic makes up over 75% of the nation's unemployed. Go figure.
Types of firearms
Guns are generally sorted into three different categories based on their uses. These categories are listed below.
"Long guns"
This refers to weapons used by hicks and rednecks to "go shootin' dose damn deer eatin' all o' ma corn". These weapons are designed for killing animals rather than people, which makes them morally sound for all of those southern Evangelicals to own. Since the people who use these guns were incapable of comprehending a more descriptive name for them, having on average only a fourth grade education, the term "Long guns" was coined.
These guns are generally used for self-defense and minor crimes such as robberies, as they are too weak and inaccurate to actually hurt anyone. Many people still feel safer in their homes owning one. Robbers tend to fit them with large, intimidating twenty to thirty round clips so that they can threaten to miss twenty times and actually damage some stuff if all the cash isn't handed over to them instead of just miss a few times with no effect.
Assault Weapons
These guns are generally the type used to commit major crimes (such as mass murders), and were intended for military use when they were created. However, they are currently purchasable legally in the U.S. in most states so that a bunch of rich boys can "play with their toys". The Republicans in Congress make a compelling argument that if these guns were banned, the rich C.E.O.s not able to use them would experience lowered quality of life and have to raise their salary to compensate for this, meaning that there would be less money left in their companies for creating jobs. Some states continue to defy this sensible argument, calling it "illogical" and instituting assault weapon bans within their state. These states are justly labeled as "liberal" and "gay".

To give Urban Rival's its credit, it's a great way to learn multiplication...
Must try Warstorm now out of curiosity...
Warstorm is just about luck, plain and simple, you only get to choose your deck and then it plays your cards automatically. So boring.
Well in theory the skill test takes place in building the deck, kind of the reverse of traditional card games where everyone plays with the same deck and the skill test is in how you use the cards you draw. Every card game that involves drawing shuffled cards inherently involves some amount of luck, and that covers darn near ever card game, the issue with warstorm's system (aside from the reason I don't like it, that the rare cards obselete the common ones) is that its so easy to net deck (copy an existing proven deck some one else has used and revealed online) in this day and age that its very easy to take all the skill out of deck building, there by taking all skill out of their game.
piratipper wrote:Dan the Timid:
You make some interesting points about the business model vs gameplay, but seriously I hate the gamplay of Urban Rivals with a passion.
You're right though, the business model is more sophisticated than Alteils.
I'm strongly in favour of a model based around regular micropayments rather than a model where a small percentage of bigger spenders mostly support the game. This would create a larger, more even and active playerbase in my opinion. And also in the long-term I reckon this would be a more stable way for Alteil to run as a business. Or maybe I'm wrong.
It would be a BIG change for Alteil to implement though.
Its funny, I used to ask a friend of mine all the time if he could explain to me why I was still playing urban rivals, I knew the game play was overly simplistic, but I guess I was just so hungry for any sort of ccg experience I was willing to settle. But again, the fact their gameplay (and art) is so lack luster yet they've been so successful just goes to show that with ccgs, the business model you use is THE single most important part of how successful you are. In Alteil's case their lack luster business model has seemingly managed to keep them behind Urban Rivals despite a vastly superior game (and art), and its a shame, but you've got to tip your hat to the Urban Rivals team, they could have priced things just like any other real life CCG like so many other online CCGs have, they took a big risk in making the game so cheap an accessible, but perhaps they knew they didn't have all that great of a game so they were willing to take big risks to make up the difference?

Byakugan vs. Shadow Clone Jutsu! (白眼VS影分身!オレはゼってー勝つ!!, Byakugan bāsasu Kage Bunshin! Ore wa Zettē Katsu!!) is episode 60 of the original Naruto anime.
Naruto looks around for Sasuke, who hasn't shown up, and Shikamaru wonders why Dosu hasn't shown up as well. The ANBU also start looking for Sasuke. The "Fourth Kazekage" arrives with his bodyguards, and the Third Hokage commences the final exam. Genma announces that the first match will be Naruto vs. Neji. Before the match starts, Naruto repeats what he said before, that he will defeat Neji. Neji says that Naruto will be the one to lose. The match begins with Naruto throwing a few kunai but missing Neji. He then attacks Neji directly, only to be easily dodged. Neji attacks Naruto with Gentle Fist but misses Naruto's tenketsu. Neji says that Naruto has no chance of winning, but Naruto counters saying he was only testing how strong Neji is. Naruto uses Shadow Clone Technique and attacks with groups of clones, but Neji skillfully makes short work of them. The real Naruto remains standing, with Neji saying that fate is determined at birth. Naruto gets angry at Neji's words and concludes that he doesn't give up so easily. And Naruto uses Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

The Picture Book May/June 2016
Click above to view or download the current issue of the picture book! If a child has a video icon, you can click on his/her photo to watch the video. Please note that this is a 4MB PDF file. To view a PDF file you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader which is available free of charge at Adobe's Website. This may take a few minutes, but it is worth the wait!
On this site, you will see many different faces of youth. The words next to their faces only tell a partial story. Their biography is not complete. Any young person's story is worthy of telling you, yet what you read here about them is just a few short sentences.
The paragraphs next to each child are an introduction.
Beyond the paragraphs, we want you to know the whole biography of a child when you are considering making a commitment as a parent; however here on this site we balance your need to know with a child's need for privacy and sense of well being.
Children who have experienced foster care all have one thing in common: they have had to leave their home. And by that very fact alone, their need for healing, stability and nurturing requires attention. Children who have had to endure neglect, abuse, or trauma can face many challenges. Those challenges can range from mild to the severe and can also be temporary or permanent.
The challenges our children face will not be detailed in the introductions. Listing a short medical or mental health diagnosis can sometimes be misleading and can breach confidentiality. You can read about some of the challenges that are common to many children in the adoption program in a separate section on this site.
In the adoption program, many of the children are older and may have physical, mental or emotional impairments. Some have brothers and sisters in the program with them and they may need to live together or they may need to keep their essential connection to each other through different living arrangements.
The youth featured here are in foster care and they may live with a foster family or they may be living in a group home or other child-caring facility such as a treatment center. Every child needs the love and support of a family. We invite you to learn more about adopting children in the Indiana Adoption Program.
You will see an ID number at the bottom of each child's introduction. Please refer to this number when making an inquiry about them.
To meet Indiana's waiting children, please visit http://www.adoptuskids.org/states/in/browse.aspx.
A child's future development, well-being and sense of family and community will rest with you if you become their adoptive parent.
The child's social worker or adoption team will help determine if you and your family are compatible with the child. There may also be several families that are being considered.
A prospective adoptive parent must have completed the Family Preparation process and be approved to adopt a child introduced in this book. If you are just beginning that process or have not yet begun, a child you see here may be living with a new family before you complete the Family Preparation process.

Forgo the age-old rule that your belt should match your shoes - this piece will look equally cool with polished brown brogues or beaten-up black sneakers. Shown here with an Ami polo shirt and shorts, Mark McNairy shoes and a Miansai bracelet.

Nearly half of all police shootings in Maine since 2000 have involved people who are mentally ill - 42 percent to be precise - while more than half of those killed also suffer from some kind of mental impairment. That's one of the findings of a series of four investigative reports published this week in the Portland Press Herald. The series, titled "Deadly Force," has taken a team of four reporters the better part of a year to produce. One of the investigation's lead reporters, Tux Turkel, says the problem is, at the root, as much a healthcare issue as it is a law enforcement one. Tom Porter has the story.
Tux Turkel is a reporter for the Portland Press Herald. To read the entire series, "Deadly Force: Police and the Mentally Ill," click here.
