DeJesus Traded
The Cubs have traded outfielder David DeJesus to the Washington Nationals for a player to be named later....hopefully one that can do as well as what the Cubs got for Scott Hairston. Since joining the Daytona Cubs, Ivan Pineyro has a 3.18 ERA in 6 starts over 34 IP, giving up just 1 HR, 4 BB's and striking out 27.
A bit of a surprise move, moreso that the Nationals are still trying this year. The Cubs are off the hook for the rest of what DeJesus was owed this season (about $1M) as well as the $1.5M buyout on his 2014 contract...so a guaranteed savings of at least $2.5M. Had they picked up the option, it was worth $6.5M
This should make for an interesting offseason and spring. Nate Schierholtz could be the only veteran still around, that is if he's not moved as well. Or they may go with three fresh faces. I don't by any means think Junior Lake is guaranteed anything, although I certainly think he'll be in competition for a spot. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Kris Bryant makes a run at a spot, although more likely a mid-season call-up.
As for what it means this year, well I think Brian Bogusevic should be close to returning, otherwise it means the quest for a better draft pick spot continues.
Tonight...Lake CF, Barney 2B,

So, we are FOR SURE gonna make up ground on the Sox and Miami. Gonna be tough to catch the Astros though.
Great move in my opinion.
Great move in my opinion. The season is lost anyway, so even if Dejesus helps the Cubs win 5-10 more games between now and the end over his replacement, it wouldn't matter. So save $2.5 million and gain a prospect. No brainer.
I like that this administration doesn't really care what the fans or press think about moves like this. Every move should be about getting incrementally better as an organization. The wins will come.

I'm not going to tell you
I'm not going to tell you what to do with your money, I will be not stepping foot into Murphy's Bleachers again. The thoughts of Beth Murphy make you wonder if they ever clean the taps there-
Some brilliance from Beth-
"The Cubs have quite the PR machine," Beth Murphy said. "That's why everyone hates Dusty Baker and Sammy Sosa and Steve Stone. There is a whole list of people that (the Cubs) blame for the Cubs' lack of success. But they never internalize it. It's either the day games or whatever"
Who hates Steve Stone? Sosa maybe some. Dusty did that on his own.
"Actually if there wasn't a ballpark there, I think the property values, for the residents, would be higher. "
Dear God.
Rob-thanks for fixing.
Rob-thanks for fixing.
She's an idiot though, and part of the parasite mentality around Wrigley.
I put on here a few weeks ago on how Billy the Cub schlub wanted the Ricketts' to hire him because he has a pedo-bear suit and walks around Wrigley.
I honestly don't know how
I honestly don't know how much more of this rooftop-owner shit Ricketts wants to take. He's already said 'thanks for the $500M City Council approval, but I'm not signing any construction contracts until the parasite owners agree to not sue'. So, what are you waiting for Tom? Tell Rahm and Tunney the deadline date.....like September 30th; and if he doesn't get a signed waiver from Beth and her fellow blood suckers then Tunney doesn't have to worry about being up anyone's ass.
Maybe Beth can't remember what Wrigleyville was like in the late 70s before the Tribune bought the team and brought Harry into help market the Cubs, but I do. If you were walking any where west of Southport, Racine or north of Nuts on Clark, it helped if you were in one of the Latino gangs. Yeah.......good luck with those property values you dumbass, Beth.
it's amazing that someone who
it's amazing that someone who owns TWO businesses that are basically 100% dependent on the local ballpark for revenue would so brazenly claim the neighborhood would be better off without it; is there a single person in chicago that will read that and not think she is either a liar or an idiot?
steve stone leaving the booth
steve stone leaving the booth ranks up there with joe carter leaving the booth for me...wait, that's excessively harsh.
...but listening to steve stone in his later cubs announcer years play manager-and-GM about every single thing on the field was tiring.
bob brenley managed to get across his points just fine without sounding like a jerk...though he rode ARam's ass a bit hard. steve stone couldn't get his points across without sounding like a mailroom clerk who couldn't understand why he wasn't the CEO of the company because he's obviously the smartest guy in the building. listening to stone rant on and on about what someone should be doing while ignoring the game on the field in order to show everyone how brilliant he is was driving-nails-into-skull tiring.

same...brenly and len had an "odd combo, but works" nerdy baseball fan meets oldschool vet player thing going on...and they both "got" each other's humor enough to riff one setting up the other for jokes/comments/etc.
btw, brenly back in ARZ's booth is weird...even though it's "home" for him...he spends a lot of time at the ARZ training complex when he's "off the clock" and because of it he's very quickly picked up on the ARZ farm system from scouts + what's soon to be in the pipeline.

Agreed. Bob/Len just clicked. Don't know JD/Len ever will.
I lived in Chandler, AZ when the DBacks won in 2001. The 'inside' talk was they won it all in spite of Brenly, not because of his managerial skill. Maybe AZ Phil can confirm or not? Might explain why offers not out there to my knowledge.
Wow, this is a bit too soon,
Wow, this is a bit too soon, isn't it? Len and Bob were roundly criticized during their first season together. Personally, I think Len and JD are doing fine, and they clearly enjoy bantering with one another.
GEORGE A: Bob Brenly was a
GEORGE A: Bob Brenly was a breath of fresh air to the D'backs players, because Buck Showalter (the previous manager) was a control freak. But Brenly's in-game managerial acumen was often questioned, and yet the Diamondbacks won in spite of it (at least in 2001). He also had some colorful arguments with umpires, and there were more than a handful he couldn't stand (most notably C. B. Bucknor).
Otherwise, Brenly was laid-back and basically let the players do whatever they wanted to do, and it worked because he had a veteran team in 2001 that didn't need a lot of supervision. But once the team went young with the so-called "baby backs" in mid-2004, Brenly went bye-bye.
He was a bit like Lou Piniella circa 2007-10.
Thanks, Phil. I knew there
Thanks, Phil. I knew there was some story like the vets didn't need him, and with Johnson, Schilling, Gonzalez, Grace, etc., he surely didn't need to do a lot of hand-holding. I remember Showalter wore out his welcome in year 2.......want a difference/change he's made in managing the Orioles.

Since her son Justin Bieber's 18th birthday in 2012, Pattie Mallette has had to come to terms that he's a legal adult and allowed to make his own decisions and his own mistakes.
"When your kids hit a certain age your parenting style changes and it is hard letting go," Mallette tells PEOPLE. "His life was my life and now I've had to let him go a little bit and let him be independent. It is hard to not be able to control everything that your adult child does."
Mallette, 37, finds it "difficult" to answer questions about the pop star's recent controversial behavior but continues to support her now 19-year-old son from afar as he travels on his world tour.
"Every parent worries," she says. "I text and call him every day. I definitely want to know everything that he is doing and what he is going through so I try to talk to him as much as he'll let me. I mean, he's on tour and being pulled in a million different directions but we talk as much as he is able."
At the same time, she has to strike a balance, giving him distance.
"A lot of people might think that I have my head in the sand or that I am oblivious to the things my son is doing," she says. "I know who my son is and I don't always agree with every single thing that he does but I don't necessarily have to address that with everyone else. He's my son and I have to respect he is not going to want me going around being 'that mom' talking about his behavior."
The questions have been frequent for Mallette, who is currently doing a press tour for the recently released teen edition of her New York Times bestseller Nowhere but Up: The Story of Justin Bieber's Mom.
"Regardless of how uncomfortable I get with some questions I am receiving I just remind myself right away why I am doing this." says Mallette, who has restructured her memoir to help teens tackle depression, bullying, and anxiety. "I just want to help make a difference."
And stepping more in to the spotlight has also given Mallette a fresh perspective on the scrutiny her son faces in Hollywood.
"I can appreciate even some of the pressures that I knew were there but I couldn't feel them. You don't know all the expectations and the things that are around him so I have a different view. I've learned from watching him and how he has been able to handle things," she says. "I'm not going to like every aspect of [doing press] but even if it has only been one person that I could help with my story then it is all worth it."

Two Buffalo teenagers suspected of setting a Jack Russell terrier ablaze last month were taken into custody Tuesday afternoon and likely will face felony animal-cruelty charges as early as this morning, Buffalo police said.
The suspects, ages 17 and 19, were not identified and had not yet been charged Tuesday night. They were arrested by detectives from the Ferry-Fillmore District, thanks to tips from the East Side community where the 16-month-old terrier, who has since been named Phoenix, was found burning.
The severely burned dog is recuperating in the Buffalo Small Animal Hospital.
Police spokesman Michael J. DeGeorge said at a Tuesday night news conference outside Police Headquarters that "a tip over the weekend led to the case going into high gear" and resulted in Tuesday's arrests.
Both suspects have prior involvement in the criminal-justice system, police said.
"Buffalo police have two individuals in custody, and charges are being finalized," DeGeorge said.
"This weekend, the case really picked up steam," he added, thanks to tips from the public, which has become emotionally involved in the case since the puppy was found Oct. 29 in a yard on Herman Street.
There was no update on whether the dog might be adopted, but DeGeorge said Phoenix's condition was "somewhat improved."
DeGeorge declined to comment when asked about a possible motive for the burning of the dog, but he confirmed that the suspects in custody knew the dog.
Veterinarians have performed skin grafting on the puppy's neck and arm pits and taken dead tissue off its ears. They are also working to save the puppy's left hind leg.

THE LAST TRAIN TO ZONA VERDE. By Paul Theroux. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. 353 pages. $27. Ebook $27.
Maybe the most astonishing thing about Paul Theroux's travel writing is that a lot of people don't like it. He's considered the grumpy old man in the field, continually railing on about this or that disruption of authentic culture by modern incursions instead of tour-guiding hungry escapists to the wonders of Bora Bora.
This is his genius. Theroux is a real-world traveler: He drops you smack into the dirt and desires of a land and its people.
In "The Last Train to Zona Verde," the chapter called "Three Pieces of Chicken" is one of the finest bits of travel gristle you can chew. Stranded in the Angolan bush when the folk taxi he's riding in breaks down, he writes:
"We drank beer, we muttered, we listened, and then it occurred to me that if I didn't claim a place in the car I would have nowhere to sleep. While they were talking, I went back to the Land Cruiser. I cranked the seat into reclining position, covered myself with my jacket, and to the drumming in the distance and the muttering of boys sitting on the steps of the shed, I subsided into sleep. From time to time I awoke, and I was surprised by the gusto of the drumming, but in the darkest hours of morning, it ceased. ... In daylight the place was ugly, more littered and beat up than it had seemed the day before."
The chapter revolves around a bucket holding three blackened limbs of skinny chicken, covered with black flies, offered for sale. He turns them down at first, but then buys them one by one because there's nothing else to eat.
"The Last Train to Zona Verde" might well not be the last go-round from the prolific Theroux. It is, after all, his 46th book of travel, fiction or criticism. He took off on the trip to Southwest Africa after finishing a novel. But it has the feel of his coda. The septuagenarian started his travel life as a Peace Corps volunteer in Malawi in the 1960s and has returned repeatedly to trek and write about a continent he unabashedly loves.
This time, though, he's brooding about his age and mortality in the early chapters, then in the closing chapter, "What Am I Doing Here," he is coming to terms with his disillusion about what's become of West Africa:
"Of course, I could put my head down and travel farther, but I knew what I would find: decaying cities, hungry crowds, predatory youths and people abandoned by their governments, people who saw every foreigner as someone they could hit up for money."
Theroux takes you on a rocky safari across infringed wilds, disenfranchised poverty and coven luxury. He introduces you to a boil of angry indigenous peoples and unsettled migrants you won't meet on an itinerary tour.
This trek opens with him on a spear hunt in Namibia, stepping over termite hills with bush people, one of the world's oldest cultures, "pouch-breasted women laughing among themselves, an infant with a head like a fuzzy fruit bobbing in one woman's sling, men in leather clouts clutching spears and bows."
Go on, turn the first few pages. Then I dare you to put it down.
Reviewer Bo Petersen is an environmental reporter for The Post and Courier.

How do you attract passionate customers?
What can you do to cut through the noise and get people to notice what you have to say?
The answer is CONTENT—interesting and compelling information that helps solve your customers' problems.
Why Content?
It's interesting content that drives people to push that Share button or say to themselves, "Wow! This is a great article! I think I'll subscribe."
Here's an analogy: If a big-time investor invited you to pitch your business idea to him, how much effort would you make to impress him?
I'm guessing that you wouldn't dare show up without a compelling idea and a well-thought-out strategy. And yet most businesses do just that when it comes to social media marketing.

WASHINGTON — This year got off to a sour start for U.S. workers: Their pay, already gasping to keep pace with inflation, was suddenly shrunk by a Social Security tax increase.

Some reasons experts think consumer spending will keep rising.WEALTH IS UP: Home prices rose more than 10 percent in the 12 months that ended in February. And the Dow Jones industrial average and S&P 500 stock indexes hit record highs in the first quarter. As a result, Americans have recovered the $16 trillion in wealth wiped out by the Great Recession.DEBT IS DOWN: Household debt now equals 102% of after-tax income, down from a peak of 126% in 2007. That's almost back to its long-term trend, according to Deutsche Bank. And households are paying less interest on their debts, largely because of the Federal Reserve's efforts to keep borrowing rates at record lows. JOBS ARE UP: Employers have added an average of 188,000 jobs a month in the past six months, up from 130,000 in the previous six. Job gains slowed in March to only 88,000. Most economists expect at least a modest rebound in coming months. GAS PRICES ARE DOWN: Gas prices have fallen in the past year and are likely to stay low. Nationwide, the average price of a gallon of gas has dropped 28 cents since this year's peak of $3.79 on Feb. 27. Analysts expect gas to drop an additional 20 cents over the next two months. LOANS ARE CHEAPER: Lower interest rates have enabled millions of Americans to save money by refinancing their mortgages. Mortgage giant Freddie Mac estimates that in the fourth quarter of 2012, homeowners who refinanced cut their interest rate by one-third, the biggest reduction in the 27 years the agency has tracked the data. Source: AP
Which raised a worrisome question: Would consumers stop spending and further slow the economy? Nope. Not yet, anyway.
On Friday, the government said consumers spent 3.2 percent more on an annual basis in the January-March quarter than in the previous quarter — the biggest jump in two years. And in a report Monday, the government said consumers increased their spending in each month, by 0.2 percent in March, 0.7 percent in February and 0.3 percent in January.
The spending increases highlighted a broader improvement in Americans' financial health that is blunting the impact of the tax increase and raising hopes for more sustainable growth.
Consumers have shed debt. Gasoline has gotten cheaper. Rising home values and record stock prices have restored household wealth to its pre-recession high. And employers are steadily adding jobs.
"No one should write off the consumer simply because of the 2 percentage-point increase in payroll taxes," said Bernard Baumohl, chief economist at the Economic Outlook Group. "Overall household finances are in the best shape in more than five years."
Spending weakened toward the end of the January-March quarter. Spending at retailers fell in March by 0.4 percent, the worst showing in nine months. And more spending on utilities accounted for up to one-fourth of the increase in consumer spending in the January-March quarter, according to JPMorgan Chase economist Michael Feroli, because of colder weather. Higher spending on utilities isn't a barometer of consumer confidence the way spending on household goods would be.
Americans also saved less in the first quarter, lowering the savings rate to 2.6 percent from 3.9 percent in 2012. Economists say that was likely a temporary response to the higher Social Security tax, and most expect the savings rate to rise back toward last year's level. That could limit spending. But several longer-term trends are likely to push in the other direction, economists say, and help sustain consumer spending.
Scott Loehrke, 25, hasn't cut back spending this year. Loehrke went ahead in March with some car repairs that could have been delayed. And he still plans to vacation in May in Mexico with his wife, Jackie.
The Cleveland-area couple feel secure in their jobs. Loehrke is a salesman for a company that makes T-shirts and other promotional products. Business has picked up in the past year as the economy has improved. His wife is a pharmacist. "Everything that we've planned to do we're still doing," Loehrke said.

EAST LIVERPOOL - The new owners of the former Parsons Coal Co. hope the deal will eventually create more jobs, especially if they are able to redevelop an adjoining piece of property.
"We're enthusiastic about the opportunities in Columbiana County," said Jim McClurg, who, along with his brother Gary, recently purchased the assets of Parsons Coal.
McClurg is president of Seaforth Mineral & Ore, which is located next door to Parsons Coal in downtown East Liverpool along the Ohio River. Seaforth operates a mineral processing and distribution facility there, while Parsons operates a truck/barge transfer and storage facility.
McClurg contacted the newspaper following a story about county Port Authority efforts to help Seaforth acquire the company. McClurg said he and his brother, not Seaforth, purchased Parsons, and this occurred several months ago.
The company was reconstituted as the Parsons Terminal Co., Ltd., which continues to operate in the same capacity as before. "We're basically doing what they did and with the same customers," he said.
As part of the deal, McClurg said they opted against acquiring several parcels of property that are owned by North Star Coal, which is affiliated with Parsons Coal. They are instead leasing the property for now.
The reasons is the property has some possible environmental issues, after having been used in various industrial capacities by numerous companies over the past 120 years. McClurg said these environmental issues would have to be addressed before they would acquire the rest of the property before it could be redeveloped.
The McClurgs are working with the Port Authority to have the agency acquire state funding to determine the extent of any environmental issues and what it could cost to address those issues so the property can be redeveloped.
"It's our hope to fully rehabilitate the property and purchase it from the owner and move forward," he said.
McClurg said the acquisition of Parsons Coal preserved 10 existing jobs, "and our hope is with this rehabilitation there would definitely be job growth" resulting from redevelopment of the North Star property.
McClurg said Seaforth has been doing well and that has been without any benefit from additional business resulting from the shale gas boom underway in the region. He said both companies are in a good position to take advantage of the boom once it begins to pick up speed.

Autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia may share genetic risk factors, according to researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital. They say their work is the largest ever genetic study of psychiatric illness, and may help to one day reclassify these disorders on the basis of causes rather than descriptive syndromes.
To study the possibility of common genetic markers or nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that might affect susceptibility to the five disorders, the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) scanned the genome of 33,332 patients and 27,888 controls of European ancestry.
The team applied a multinomial logistic regression procedure with model selection to identify the best-fitting model of relations between genotype and phenotype. They examined cross-disorder effects of genome-wide significant loci previously identified for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and used polygenic risk-score analysis to examine such effects from a broader set of common variants. They also performed pathway analyses to establish the biological associations underlying genetic overlap for the five disorders, and used enrichment analysis of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data to assess whether SNPs with cross-disorder association were enriched for regulatory SNPs in postmortem brain-tissue samples.
Ultimately, they identified four risk loci that have significant and overlapping links with all five diseases—regions on chromosomes 3p21 and 10q24, and SNPs in two genes that make components of channels that regulate the flow of calcium in brain cells—CACNA1C and CACNB2.
Polygenic risk scores confirmed cross-disorder effects, most strongly between adult-onset disorders (bipolar and major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia). Further pathway analysis corroborated that calcium channel activity could play an important role in the development of all five disorders.
"This analysis provides the first genome-wide evidence that individual and aggregate molecular genetic risk factors are shared between five childhood-onset or adult-onset psychiatric disorders that are treated as distinct categories in clinical practice," says Jordan Smoller, M.D., director of the Psychiatric and Neurodevelopmental Genetics Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, one of the lead researchers.
Writing in a linked comment, Alessandro Serretti and Chiara Fabbri from the University of Bologna in Italy say, "the present study might contribute to future nosographic [classification] systems, which could be based not only on statistically determined clinical categories, but also on biological pathogenic factors that are pivotal to the identification of suitable treatments.
"Genetics…can contribute to prediction and prevention of psychiatric diseases, along with the identification of molecular targets for new generations of psychotropic drugs," they add.
The study is published today, Online First in The Lancet. The paper is called "Identification of risk loci with shared effects on five major psychiatric disorders: a genome-wide analysis". The corresponding comment is titled "Shared genetics among major psychiatric disorders".

I have an 8 month old Black Lab named Ellie. Im new to duck hunting and this will be my first year. She loves fetching and will retrieve almost anything I throw at her. She always stayed close to me outside with little training. She is something like 3rd generation gun dog. I have yet to train her on the gun. Being military it hasn't worked into the schedule yet. She is getting close to that age where she is already way behind most. However I also came to possess a Weimaraner recently. He is already pretty well trained, just not for ducks. I think he will be good with pheasant cause he likes to run about 20-30 yards out and never goes father than that and returns on command. But here's my issue. since I had him, my lab has been rather mischievous. She runs all over in the yard, won't come to her name, and i usually end up having to go get a tennis ball and convincing her to come with that. I don't give it to her so she doesn't associate her behavior as "good". I think getting her fixed will help, he is fixed too, but i want to wait because she is kinda small for a lab her age and I'm hoping her going through one cycle might help her grow? i don't know. She started out doing really good and it all seems at a loss lately. Either way I will have her around just really hoping to make her a good gun dog. ANy tips on breaking the habit?

I guess I don't understand why someone who, admittedly, has no time to train one dog properly would take on a second dog.
Your lab sounds like she is making a bid for your attention any way possible, including acting up.
There are several things you can do;
(1)Take your lab to a pro and let her be properly trained while you spend what little time you have with the other dog.
(2)Get rid of one dog or the other devoting what little time you have to trying to train the other dog.
(3)Keep both dogs and devote what little time you have to the dog that you think will do you the most good in the field for the type of hunting you do most and the area of the country you live in. Understand that this solution will probably relegate the other dog to pet status.
If you decide to keep both dogs do not let them cohabitate. Keep them crated when not under supervision and let them out seperately so they are not both vying for your attention at the same time. this way the little time you spend with each dog will be their special time.

I have time now, I just moved into a new house in OCT, and had some training. I have plenty of time to train now. They are both crate trained and are crated whenever me and my wife leave. I do believe a lot of it is due to the attention seeking. But I have had them both out before and they both did great until this last week or so. Its just the lab that runs. She listens and responds well indoors. She is completely focused with me and whats going on. She is very obedient. As soon as she is out its like a switch is flipped. But yeah about the second dog, he is already pretty much trained. I didn't get him as a pup so I have very little left to do with him. Mostly just work with him staying closer when I need him too. I have started taking them out separate and it seems to show improvement. She is leashed though when we go out. I work with her around the yard on heeling and focus. Just was asking for any tips on how to play a little catch up or maybe some advice from people who had the experience before. I don't need a life choice lecture on why I should or shouldn't have another dog thanks.
I think I will use your advice on taking them out separately like I have been and working with them 1 at a time. thanks

First off, THANKS for your service to our country.
A dog needs time in order to be properly trained. You also need a training plan/program. There is no "catch up" training you can do, it takes what it takes. That's why a lot of the better training materials out there don't show age timetables. They will say something along the lines of you have completed this step when your dog does ___ 95% of the time or is capable of doing "x" in multiple situations. This step may take 2 weeks or 2 months and that is about all you will see. BTW - OB is an ongoing practice. This is where a lot of issues may arise due to inconsistencies in your day to day routine. You now have the time so it's onto the plan.
TRT (Total Retriever Training by Mike Lardy), Smartwork by Evan Graham, or Fowl Dawgs by Rick Stawski come to the top of the list for me. For the most part listed from most expensive to least. These are all Rex Carr based programs. They do use pressure. If you choose to go non pressure there are programs out there by several individuals. I don't have much experience with any of them, I can not comment on which one is better.
I would also recommend joining a retriever club, a training group, or even offering to throw birds for a pro. Any of these will lead to invaluable knowledge, opportunities, and friends.
As far as the 8 month old lab not listening as of lately, well, what changed? You got the other dog? Moved? Haven't given her the time she requires? etc.. She grew older for one. A puppy very rarely will travel to far from you, but once you hit that 5-7 month age depending on the pup, they want to explore on their own and start testing boundaries. They want to find their place in the pack. It could be any of the above or something else. It's difficult to diagnosis from this end of the keyboard. Do keep them in separate kennels/crates. You want them to bond the best with you. Your the pack leader.
Good Luck!

Thanks MallardMugger. I was looking into tools like check cords so she gets some freedom but i can manage her distance. I got her motivated to fetch and do retrieves. She is tiny for her age and breed so it was pretty cool to see her bring objects about the size of a large goose I throw out back. She is ball orientated and also likes the bumpers from time to time. I think i mostly need to go back to square one with the steadiness and focus. If she sees me with a ball, she is at my side. Focused on when I am going to throw it. She returns and everything. I have some buddies I plan on hunting with this fall I keep trying to persuade to come with me to help with the gun aspect and shooting some .22 around her. (I don't have one and only know a few people around here who have them here) It's kind of a pain to have guns in the military ironically. She is improving on listening off leash after the last couple weeks of leash training. I am just going to keep at this and introduce the check cord and look into the trainers you mentioned for more ideas. thanks again.

If I may throw in my 2 cents.. Your Lab is still a puppy and she is a new puppy with a friend. She is just trying to have fun with her new friend. Just hammer the basics into your puppy, sit, stay, come, and no. Then take her into the woods often and throw bumpers with duck scent or duck feathers. Also, start shooting some rounds off around the puppy. Now if your dog is truly a third generation hunting dog, then this will all she needs for this season. Next season you can hammer the finer things into her and make her a brag dog.
Also, you mentioned you are new to duck hunting and you have a WP. You got yourself a GREAT pair of hunting dogs and versatile ones. The WP can hunt waterfowl and the lab is great in the uplands, both with grace and style. Why not make the best of the situation. Plus, you are green to duck hunting you may be better off jump shooting ducks this season, learn honey holes, get to know patterns, and get your dogs into the duck scent. Here is what I did and still do and it works great for the dogs, my hunting partners, and me.
Go out upland hunting in a area with water (I find most pheasants fields are surrounded by streams and swamps). When you limit out or get sick of striking out with pheasants switch gears. Go hide behind a rock, bush, or tree and see if ducks come in. If not walk the water edges and see if you dogs put up and ducks. This works great and gets you a taste of upland hunting and waterfowl hunting.

Couple of things I want to bring up from your last post that threw some flags up for me. Gun Intro is my biggest concern at the moment.
Dogs are not born gun shy, they are made gun shy.
I'd be willing to wager that 95% of the gun shy dogs out there were improperly introduced to gunfire. The other 5% became gun shy later on for various reasons associated with us humans and being ignorant.
You'll hear all kinds of advice on how to intro to gunfire - while they're eating by banging pans and working up to gunfire, gradually taking them closer and closer to a trap range, etc.. all the way to putting pup in the yard and shooting over them to see if they are gun shy or not. While some of those methods can and do work, I have a slightly different philosphy on it. I want the dogs I train to associate gun fire with a retrieve, I want the gunfire to mean fun! I don't want them to just tolerate it (although in the duck blind the association of gunfire to retrieve isn't nearly as high in training :blush: )
Kghops, who use to be on here all the time, took me through this. He even made a video for it. First, your dog has to have a good desire to retrieve. I prefer that we work with shackled birds. We'll start out with 410 poppers or a 209 primer at about 150 yds and the bird. The gun is pointed away from dog. This should be done on a wide open field, you're not trying to improve marking here, just intro the gun and you want the bird as visible as possible. The handler has the dog at the line and will restrain it from breaking. Get the dogs attention, throw the bird, and fire the shot. The shackled bird makes for a lot of fun for the dog and starts the association of the shot to a bird/retrieve. The most important part is reading the dog during the shot. Any flinching, hesitation, bolting, cowering, pretty much anything but eagerness to get that bird results in the handler or gunner moving 50yds further apart or if severe enough, moving to a quieter gun. If all is good, the handler sends the dog for the bird. Next one is 25yds closer. Rinse and repeat. Pretty soon you're shooting over the dog with the 410 poppers. Next step is start it all over with 12 gauge poppers, then 12 gauge loads. By this time, the dog is usually busting at the seams to get the bird, the excitement for the gun has been started and the association of gunfire and retrieve is well on its way. If there is any hesitation along the way, that distance is either repeated or you move back to the previous spot until the dog is good and comfortable there. This process can take an evening or two depending on the dog. I worked with Kg on getting over gun shyness for 2 dogs this way. He made me a believer.
OK, moving on. The next flag for me was the use of balls for retrieving. It's very good to see that she has a strong desire to retrieve them and that drives her motivation to bring it back to you to throw again. However, you're not going out hunting tennis/racquet/etc. balls! Training bumpers aren't the real deal either but play an important part. Don't take me wrong, a dog needs to be a dog but a steady diet of balls doesn't promote a good training attitude. I would put the balls away for a while and I would stop all retrieves for several days at least probably until the point where she can't handle not retrieving any more. Then start with birds or bumpers in an organized manner and by all means, use the check cord. I wouldn't be without it at this stage. At this point she should want to retrieve anything over and over again and will likely bring the bumper/bird back to you to throw again. If not, you have the cord to reel her in.
Finally, if you only get one video from any of the programs I get below, be sure to get the one containing Formal OB. A lot of problems start from not having a solid foundation.
Good Luck!

I agree with you Mallard. By shooting around the pup, I meant shooting with a well thought out plan. Otherwise you'll hurt the puppy. I had my wife hold the puppy 150 yards out and I would shoot 3-5 rounds. I would ask my wife how the pup handled the rounds, and depending on the answer I would move her up 25 yards. I did this till the pup was next to me this worked for us. Now I take the pup out in the woods, toss a bumper high in the air and blast a round off. This simulates a real hunt.
Also, in reagrds to live birds. Depending on where you live those can be tough and pricey to get. I find it cheaper, easier, and just as practical to tape wings to bumpers. Easy on my wallet and gets the job done.

For today's kids, social media has added a whole new layer to the word "bully."
How can we help kids to treat each other and themselves with respect?
A Lehigh County musician has come up with a way to talk to kids in a language they can understand and he's taking his message to kids in the Lehigh Valley and beyond.
He is Nate Lombard, a graduate of Emmaus High School and Muhlenberg College.
These days he lives in New York City but he is bringing his program and his energy to the Lehigh Valley.
Watching him light up a room of kids, it's hard to imagine how someone wouldn't be moved by his message of hope.
Lombardi, or Natekid, as he's called, has created "The Groovy Project," a non-profit anti-bullying campaign.
Lombardi says we have to help kids at a young age to prevent bullying.
"So people are like 'what's the answer' and I think it's prevention and awareness at a young age as opposed to fixing the problem." says Lombardi.
We caught up with Lombardi when he appeared at the Swain School in Allentown to work with fourth graders.
He got the kids dancing, singing, and writing their own songs. But most importantly, he got them thinking.
Nate said, "And you can still show them on a trajectory, this is how it feels to lift someone up and this is what it feels like to be lifted up and be positive and use your voice in a positive way."
Together with a New York City production company, Nate hit social media with a music video promoting his message.
He said kids these days grow up with a screen and that's not always a good thing.
"What's it like being 13 and having this at your disposal your whole life?"
He said he encourages kids to put their screens away and make real relationships.
He said even he sometimes focuses on his cell phone instead of the person he's talking to.
"This is not how you have a conversation with somebody. I find myself doing it and I'm a grown man so if that's how I grew up, that's horrible," he said.
Nate said he's committed to bringing the Groovy Project to as many as kids as possible.

Veterans Day will be celebrated on Monday, November 12 at 1 p.m. central standard time at the Clinton Center of Somerset Community College in Albany.
Event festivities include the presenting of colors by the Clinton County High School JROTC and a musical presentation from the third and fourth grade Albany Elementary choir. The event is free and open to the public.
Local veterans will be recognized for their service to our country with their names included in a Wall of Honor.
"I wanted to be in charge of the Veterans Day celebration at Clinton Center this year because my husband is a veteran and I feel they never get the recognition they deserve," said Amanda Smith, business affairs assistant and organizer of this year's event at the college.
"I decided to have a Wall of Honor in hopes that the community would get involved and call in with names of veterans they would like to recognize. This is just a small way that we can show a few veterans that we are truly thankful for all that they have done."
Names of veterans to be included on the Wall of Honor will continue to be accepted until the day of the celebration. To add someone's name or for more information about the event, please contact Amanda Smith at (606) 387-3705.

May 7 election has yet to generate much interest
January 14, 2013
LISBON — The May 7 primary election has yet to generate much interest at the Columbiana County Board of Elections, even though the filing deadline is less than a month away....
It takes money and political correctness...both, I do not have.

LOL, seriously, people are burnt out with elections, lies, propaganda and money waste. Look at presidential election, it was exhausting. What voters had to put up with, from the pounding puke media, to commercials, lies, arguments, fighting and nagging an driving voters slap crazy with mail and phone craze. And what was the outcome of that entire year of B.S.? We walked away with an election result...where NOTHING CHANGED. Same President, same senate, same house. People are burnt out. Besides in Salem, nobody cares! Voting is not making a difference when the candidates all stay the same. There are no new faces and when do get new faces it is down to money and who can buy the result.

Your on some good drugs then, cuz they couldn't make the playoffs with Stamkos, Vinnie, and MSL. Fil won't change their team, I'd take any of Detroit's lines over any of Tampa's lines any day, and that includes a line with Cleary and Sammy, Tampa has One great player and a few good role players, that's it. People here just give Tampa credit because of Yzerman, Tampa is not that good. Fil can leave and be merry in Florida, he ain't gonna do sh#t there. I bet you $100 bucks the Wings shut him down every time we play them this year. Now that's a bet.
I doubt it. He's no #1 Center, but he is a solid #2....except that he lost his mojo in Detroit this last season. I'm not sure why. He went over to Finland and played for Jokerit with his brother, and did great....and then came back to the Wings with everyone else, and sucked it up. That kind of drop off, considering the rest of his career and his age.....equates to some kind of attitude issue. Okay, he's got his change of scenery now. I think he'll be back to his old self next season...which is still a slight overpayment lol.

IOWA CITY, Iowa - Following are the highlights and lowlights from Penn State's 38-14 victory over Iowa on Saturday night at Kinnick Stadium:
Play of the game: Facing fourth-and-3 from the Iowa 45, Penn State not only didn't punt but Matt McGloin found Kyle Carter, who jumped over Iowa defender Micah Hyde for a sensational 34-yard reception to the Hawkeye 11. The catch set up Penn State's second touchdown and a 14-0 lead with 2:43 left in the first quarter.
Offensive player of the game: McGloin completed 26-of-38 for 289 yards and two touchdowns. He was not intercepted or sacked.
Defensive player of the game: Lion defensive tackle Jordan Hill led Penn State with nine tackles, including one sack and two for loss.
Most telling statistic: Iowa rushed for a total of 20 yards on 23 carries.
Hidden statistic: Penn State has outscored its opponents 66-0 in the first quarter this season and 110-23 in the first half.
Best run: Bill Belton ripped off 16 yards with a draw in the second quarter, moving the Lions to the Iowa 20 and setting up a 17-0 lead.
Best pass: McGloin bought time by rolling out, stayed patient and then rifled a 31-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jesse James to open the scoring.
Worst pass: Iowa quarterback James Vandenberg provided multiple selections.
Best catch: Aside from Carter's effort on the play of the game, Iowa's Keenan Davis did a nice job to pull in a 31-yarder in the second quarter.
Catch it, will ya: Though they made some good receptions, the Lions also missed a couple catchable balls in the second quarter, one by Allen Robinson and one Matt Lehman dropped in the red zone. Gerald Hodges also looked up and saw the end zone before squeezing what would have been an interception return for a TD in the third quarter.
Hold it, won't ya: Zach Zwinak's fumble in the end zone cost the Lions a 38-0 lead in the third quarter. The fumble by Vandenberg, recovered by DaQuan Jones at the Hawkeyes' 17, set up the Lions' 24-0 halftime lead.
Best block: Lion guard Miles Dieffenbach pulled nicely to help spring Belton's 23-yard sweep in the first quarter.
Best tackle: PSU safety Jake Fagnano stayed home and blew up an early reverse to Jordan Cotton.
Best hit: Pete Massaro and Anthony Zettle combined to sandwich Vandenberg late in the game.
Best kick: Have to give it to Sam Ficken, whose 34-yard field goal extended the Penn State lead to 17-0 in the second quarter, a nice moment after his early-season struggles.
Worst kick: Alex Butterworth's first punt only went 24 yards. Normally reliable Iowa kicker Mike Meyer missed from 37 in the second quarter with the Hawkeyes down 14-0 and needing a breath of air.
Worst penalty: Iowa's Joe Gaglione let his frustrations show with a roughing-the-passer penalty against McGloin, trailing 31-0 late in the third quarter.
Best call: On the first play of the third quarter, with a 24-0 lead, the Lions went for the jugular as McGloin hit Brandon Moseby-Felder with a 42-yard post to the Iowa 3, setting up a 31-0 lead.
Worst call: Up 31-0 in the third quarter, Bill O'Brien called for a quarterback sneak on fourth-and-1 from his own 36, and McGloin was stopped short. Should have punted for two reasons: sportsmanship, and it's the right play.
Best effort: Belton rushed for a career-high 103 yards on 16 carries and three touchdowns.
Unsung hero(es): Penn State's offensive line, with four new starters this year, has been solid all season.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - I have a 2-year-old mixed breed rescue named Kodiak who I adopted about a year ago. Kodiak barks like crazy at every single person or dog who walks by our house. Sometimes he just sits by the front windows waiting for someone to bark at. I work from home and frequently have conference calls. His barking is very disruptive. How can I get him to stop?
- Fed up with the barking
Dear Fed Up,
Dogs bark for different reasons and some breeds are more prone to bark that others. There are alarm/alert barkers, demand barkers, frustration barkers, arousal barkers, boredom barkers, stress barkers, play barkers, and greeting barkers. It's helpful to identify why your dog is barking so you can identify the trigger and reinforcement then eliminate it.
It sounds like Kodiak may be an alarm/alert barker or a boredom barker. Alarm barkers want to tell everyone that danger could be approaching. This type of barker is out to save the family. The best way to manage alarm barking is to control the dog's exposure to the stimuli. This means limiting his access to the front windows. You may need to gate him out of the front room or tether him near his bed in your office away from the windows. It's also helpful to teach an interrupter cue like "Ah Ah" followed by his name and "Come." This should be used if he accidentally gains access to the front windows and spots danger.
The other possibility is boredom barking. If you are working all day and not paying attention to Kodiak, he may be entertaining himself by looking for passersby. The solution to this type of barking is pretty obvious; give him something else to do. First, make sure he gets enough exercise so he's reasonably tired during the day when there's nothing to do. Perhaps you could also take a mid-day break and throw a ball or run around the block with him. Stuffed Kongs are a great way to keep a dog busy while you work. Soak some (or all) of his morning kibble in water until it is mushy then fill the Kong with it. Put a little peanut butter over the large hole and then freeze it. Let him work on these to get his food throughout the day. It's good mental exercise and will keep his mind off patrolling the front windows.

Thursday, September 26, 2013
A Summerville-area team will get its first win of the season Friday.
Ashley Ridge and Cane Bay high schools both enter a 7:30 p.m. game in The Swamp with an 0-4 record so someone will get to celebrate.
The schools both opened the same year and have played each other every year since. Add to that their proximity and you have yourself a rivalry.
The Cobras rallied last year to earn a 36-28 victory but Ashley Ridge holds a 4-3 advantage in the series. Ashley Ridge blew out Cane Bay in 2011, but all the other games were decided by one or two scores.
Cane Bay has been outscored 118-48 this season and has losses to Summerville, Fort Dorchester, Berkeley and Beaufort. Ashley Ridge has been outscored 163-91 while falling to Goose Creek, Wando, West Ashley and Stratford.
Ashley Ridge coach Kenny Walker says this year's game with the Cobras will come down to basics.
"Whoever makes the least amount of mistakes, both penalties and turnovers, will win the game," Walker said. "Their defense swarms to the football and their offense has three players that we will have to contain."
Cobra running back Ramonte Frasier is under rated and can cut through any defense if given a slight opening. Quarterback Devin Kilgore is a dual threat and, like Frasier, became a starter early in his Cane Bay career.
The Cobra defense played well in its season opener against Summerville. However, the Ashley Ridge offense is showing signs of improvement.
Tyler Garland is developing as a running back and last week the Swamp Foxes had approximately 150 yards and a TD through the air. Donovan Thompson and Sean White lead a group of promising receivers and QB Chandler Avenel now has four games under his belt.
Special teams have been a plus for Ashley Ridge all season. Even against Goose Creek, the Swamp Foxes broke big plays with their special teams.
Last week, Thompson finished with 297 all-purpose yards after returning a punt 90 yards for a TD and a kickoff 98 yards for a TD.
The night marked the first time in Ashley Ridge history that a Swamp Fox player has returned a punt for a score. Including Thompson's, there have only been two kickoff returns to go for a TD in school history.

24 Video Game Covers That Will Double Your Testosterone
Nothing catches a consumer's attention like wanton violence. It's why JC Penny employees are encouraged to get in one screwdriver fight with a customer every 30 minutes. It's also why the video game industry is constantly boxing its products in stupidly awesome pictures of mayhem. In fact, over the years there have been so many super tough video game boxes that I had to design an artificial intelligence just to sort through them all. Its name is the T.oughness R.ating C.omputer, and while I cheered it used its advanced toughness evaluation systems to select the 24 toughest of all time. Pussies may want to look at these with their eyes closed.
Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior (Amiga, 1987)
Men, if your woman is lucky, you just saved this to your desktop as future_sextape_cover.jpg.
Bad Cat (Amiga, 1987)
Oh, damn. They mean really bad cat. They don't even make vests, headbands, and sunglasses for cats-- Bad Cat had to murder the world's coolest baby in order to get that outfit.
Cho Aniki (WonderSwan, 2000)
Sometimes I see the things Japan does and I'm like, "Why does everyone talk about how weird these people are?" Those two in the back simply got nude and are using dance to express how they can't deal with how awesome this situation is.
Blood 'N Guts: Ancient Barbarian Games (Commodore 64, 1986)
Contra Force (NES, 1992)
The four guys from the Contra Force seems pretty tough, but there's no way any of them lived through this. SMITH is inches from a falling bomb, BEANS is literally standing in an explosion with a tank of napalm on his back, IRON is picking a gunfight with a helicopter, and BURNS is about to fall onto a kitchen knife. And speaking of, who the hell is kitchen knife guy? He's amazing! He's watching an entire air force drop bombs on four idiots and he's charging into it with a kitchen knife! For what? Is his restaurant serving blackened dumbass chunks today? Is he trying to impress a hot coroner? I really wish this game was about him.
Aaargh! (Apple IIgs, 1989)
Dino City (SNES, 1992)
It's all totally rad right now, but as soon as that dinosaur catches a glimpse of himself in a mirror, he is going to bite that little son of a bitch in half. To be honest, I'm not sure how this fruitloopery got on a toughest cover list. Those two are probably listening to the book on tape version of Jane Eyre. What I think happened was some kind of logic error in the T.oughness R.ating C.omputer that put the scoring system into an infinite loop when it detected a kid technically skateboarding on a dinosaur. That's the problem with robots-- any human would have taken one look at Dino City and said, "Is that Tyrannosaurus wearing blowjob safety dentures?"
Ninja Cop (Famicom, 1989)
This might make me sound like a clumsy lover, but this is the first time I've ever seen a ninja cop ejaculate.

Does Ubuntu work out of the box on the ASUS S56CM Ultrabook?
Does Ubuntu work out of the box on the ASUS S56CM Ultrabook?
in a day or 2, im going to buy it too. i wonder if it works fine
24gb ssd, and another 1tb hd
The thing that is bothering me is the optical drive. Would be better having the optical drive replaced with a better battery or something more useful.
jesus, just got home with the laptop. can't even format this thing. what the hell. boots only from secure boot, wont let me do anything else. not even installing windows7 ?
did you managed to install ubuntu?
since our disk is 1 TB + 24 GB SSD, how should we do the partitioning?
is it possible to disable the secureboot?
I just thought it would be nice to leave a last comment here:
I'm now running linuxmint 14 without any issues at all.
some aditional info:
- first go into BIOS and disable quick/fast boot and also Secure boot (failing this step will block the cd/usb installation)
- install linux and enjoy
- I did a manual partitition: please do NOT delete the "efi partition" , its only 300MB and will save you some headaches if you ever return to windows 8.
i erase all the left partitions.
Use the 1 TB HDD to install /home ,
and use the 24 GB ssd to install /
everything working out of the box. For the Nvidia driver, use Bumblebee.
There might be some issues with suspending/hibernation, as it freezed on me a couple of times. But i don't care, i rarely use it, so... just disable that and wait for some fix.
I'm using ubuntu 12.04 on a s56cm.
Sometimes ubuntu freezes and I do not know why.
Now I'm tryng to use Unity 2d
Do you thing that is nvidia the causes of the freezes?
Last edited by donbeo; January 19th, 2013 at 03:03 PM.
my ASUS have a bunch of partitions
dev/sda1/ fat32 314MB
dev/sda2/ ntfs 329MB
dev/sda3/ unknown 133MB
dev/sda4/ ntfs 200GB
dev/sda5/ ntfs 200GB
dev/sda6/ ntfs 20GB
and in the ssd
dev/sdb1/ ntfs 4294MB
dev/sdb2/ unknown 20GB
wich one is the recovery partition?
I just installed ubuntu 12.10 along with windows 8 and everything is working fine.
Have to do some twiks thouh.
For installing it I basically followed the steps described here: http://webent.altervista.org/2012/09...enbook-ux32vd/
Here are the steps I followed (I used SSD disk for installing ubuntu sytem).
- As Amithiel said, to start from an Ubuntu Live CD/USB "first go into BIOS and disable quick/fast boot and also Secure boot".
- I selected to try Ubuntu, and used gparted for partitioning the disk. I had quite a lot of partitions already there. I deleted the DATA partition I had (with 500GB), and used the free space to create a swap partition with 5GB, and the rest for creating an ext4 partition (495GB). I also deleted all the partitions in the ssd disk (sdb), and create another ext4 partition with all of it. I don't really know what all the other partitions are for, so it just felt safer to leave them alone.
- Reboot and install Ubuntu. Select manual partition and use the swap partition for swap, set 495GB partition for ext4 (mounting point /home), and the sdb disk for ext4 (mounting point / ). Follow the rest of the steps and ubuntu should be installed.
- I couldn't adjust the screen resolution, so I upgraded the kernel to 3.7.4 version following the steps described here: http://www.upubuntu.com/2013/01/inst...untulinux.html
- After upgrading the kernel edit the file /etc/defaul/grub and change the following line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi="
Update grub with the following command: sudo update-grub
- For the nvidia drivers I installed bumblebee (http://bumblebee-project.org/install.html#Ubuntu).
That's all! Everything is working perfect now.
Hope it helps.
