I should note Hassen and Ellis are COMPLETELY different training styles. Hassen focuses primarily on the e-collar while Ellis is a much more balanced approach. Ellis is very consistent to the methods used by retriever folks. There's no big miracle here but I have used Ellis's communication approach with my latest dog and she responds extremely well to it.

There always seems to be a svengali type coming up the pike that markets to animal fancier peeps , that has a way to train easier , faster, and with less or no force. When they consistently win American Field Trials,they will gain the attention of the players of the game.Until then, well, its entertaining to see what they are selling.

That being said I enjoy learning, watching, listening.
You don't have to like every trainer and every method. Just because you watch someone or something doesn't mean you must become it. Sometimes I learn just as much 'why that won't work for me' as I do 'that will work for me'.
This thread got waayyy off topic. If you don't like his methods or his ideas no one is forcing you to buy into them.
It's very simple, just don't buy his new DVD. It's not that tough.
The OP was simply bringing this up for those who wish to look into other ideas, or those who already like his stuff, or those looking into other, different, trainers. I don't see any harm in that.
And I don't see how her opinion on 2 or 4 quadrant training, her opinion on FF, or pressure vs praise has anything to do with the original topic lmao

"The best reward is one that makes an impact."
The only reason I chimed in on this thread is that people were talking about open mindedness. More than one way to skin a cat.
The Hillman stuff teaches fetch, then reinforce, with the ecollar, for example. None of the battle of wills stuff that I presume you are talking about with the ladder analogy. Although the ladder is a great analogy of how the steps of basics proceed.
I have one 3 year old lab that I trained this way, my first dog, me no expert. While I'm not a poster child for success (though I'm not a disaster either), I'm pretty sure there are some FCs out there that have been trained using this technique.
I add this in the interest of discussion.

You really think that, Pete? As opposed to other gundog or pointer disciplines that are shall we say hidebound with their notions of "force breaking" and not even having a dog retrieve what's been shot over it? Hmm, those close-minded retriever trainers...
And WAY behind in puppy development? - maybe you're talking about the pros who don't get a puppy until six months old? Or would it be some of us amateurs - yeah, who train our own dogs - and who wait 'til the pups are 8 weeks old in exposing them to birds
Let me clarify Mike
the retriever world are all people who train retrievers. Out of all those people few develop a young dogs focus and ability to figure out how to get what they desire
I'm not talking about throwing birds for pups or teaching them to sit or return to heel or whatever. I think most people do it this way. However most do not teach a dog how to focus singularly let alone duel or triple focus. They do not teach the dog how to think and how to get what they desire.
My case and point.
I have been around hunt tests for well over 25 years and I can count on 1 hand the dogs at the JR. that could focus and perform the desired behaviors properly by 6 -9 months . I count myself in this category up until 5 or 6 years ago. Pro's that get dogs at 6 or 7 months have missed the window of opportunity. They have to do things the way they do them because of economics of the client. A large portion of their clientele have not done the best that can be done with a pup until they send their dog off. I don't care how great that dog becomes,,it would be greater if it had a puppy development program. Simply teaching a dog a few commands and throwing birds for it doesn't compare to what I'm talking about.
I am talking about development . It is totally different .
Pat Nolan ,,would be a good example of puppy development,,there are others,,just off the top of my head

My grandson got a bulldog that stole my heart at first meeting. i got on the internet (ugh) and found site that eventually brought me Kofi. It was an ordeal, and that part I would never recommend. Kofi came to me from Russia....I believe she was taken from her mother too soon, and she was a handful. I found BDW in true desperation, and with the help and the wonderful advice and support I received here, Kofi came to be the treasure of my life. She makes each day such a pleasure! She is by my side each of her waking moments that I am home.

A welder's mask is fine if it is #14 and made of glass. Rule of thumb I just learned today - if you can see anything other that the sun through it, it is not safe to look at the sun. So, if you look through and see trees or anything, even dimly or in silhouette, it isn't the right thing to use.
Good on ya for the caution about welder's glass. Here's another note on welder's glass from Perkins Observatory - Eclipse Viewing Safety
The law of supply and demand is at work on eclipse shades. The local prices are now in the $2 to $5 range where they still have them. After the transit of Venus prices may fall and you could check Scope City in Simi Valley. The shades will still be good for seeing large sunspots.

The Expendables 2 comes out this weekend, and while I'm sure it's a great action flick full of car chases and explosions, I can't help thinking some of its stars are looking a little long in the tooth. I mean, how many times can you rip a Sylvester Stallone character out of retirement to perform some crazy-dangerous caper until he's like "Jesus Christ, I'm 66. Leave me to my Matlock and prunes!" It's with that in mind that I've come up with some suggestions for people to take the place of Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, and all the other action stars who seem like they could use a rest. It's not that we want some taut, fresh, young beefcake to ogle while things are blowing up, honest….we just think someone else deserves a turn. More

Imagine growing up in a city designed just for you. Come 2014, the children of Copenhagen will have the opportunity to join the largest daycare in Denmark. To avoid becoming a "daycare factory", Prinsessegade will feature houses, parks, a city hall, restaurant, a fire station and a stadium. A large green space will stand at the center of the city, making it an ideal place to gather and share in outdoor activities. The design will incorporate as much of the existing natural features as possible, and buildings will be placed in such a way that the trees, beach, and other elements of the landscape remain in tact.
COBE hopes that everyone, from the children to their parents, will feel at home in Prinsessegade. The sheer size and variety of the model will ensure that there is a place for everyone. "There's room for the wild kids, the quiet kids, for the kids who like to draw and paint, the roleplayers, the ones who play in the sandbox, the ones that race down the mountain in mooncars and those who like to bake cookies in the kitchen. There's room for the ones performing a musical in the city hall, the ones tinkering with their mopeds, the ones playing street basket in the cage and the ones kissing behind the bike shed." the design team muses. Far from your average daycare playground, Prinsessegade is set to be a real-life wonderland.

Why You Shouldn't Be Worried about K-1 or DREAM "Dying"
- Written by Dave Walsh
Fighting Entertainment Group was formed in 2003, it came from the fallout of K-1 founder Kazuyoshi Ishii's massive tax scandal that left K-1 financially in ruins. The company's public image had also taken a hit, so the only thing to do was change. Fighting Entertainment Group (FEG) was formed, with a former pro wrestling writer, Sudaharu Tanikawa at the reigns. It was implied that the entire organization was put together by Ishii, it was to be the parent company of K-1 and all of K-1's other ventures into combat sports.
It is now 2011 and it looks like Fighting Entertainment Group is ready for the chopping block. Since this initially came out, there have been articles posted with speculation that this "clearly" means that K-1 and DREAM will go the way of the dodo. I've even seen one article go as far as to say that the UFC should swoop in and purchase their assets. I urge you to not give these articles any mind and ignore them, wholesale. The headline that NightmareOfBattle used was enough information as you'll need; "The Event Name Will Be Left, But the Promotion Will Change."
Mike Hackler of MMA-Japan.com uses his business acumen to point out why this is actually the best case scenario:
|Now there are many possible scenarios here. The way I take this comment, is similar to corporations restructuring their operations when taking bankruptcy. They do so to shed debt, to boost liquidity, and reduce liabilities. When this is done, the company most likely comes out smaller, yet fine tuned, able to run more efficiently.
|FEG is running on a business model that was working ten years ago. Ten years ago, they were huge.
|FEG needs to model themselves after World Victory Road. They are not what they were ten years ago. They need to shrink and position themselves in a way that, when and if things take off again, they will be able to grow.
FEG was bloated and signs pointed to bankruptcy for a while now, shooting FEG into the ground, restructuring and coming forward as a new company could very well be exactly what they need to move forward. This would be like if Zuffa fell on rough times, would that mean that UFC would die with it? No, it has too strong of a brand and name value, think of K-1 and FEG like this.

NOOOO! I just got this figure last week, and today I found it sideways on my desk. When I went to stand it back up, it no longer could, the right leg had given out and then bent quite a bit while laying down. Also, the hip had gone from normal to loose, adding to the troubles.
It's weird, these legs didn't even look that thin, but it appears the thin shins (ha!) are structurally weak and the soft plastic took its toll.
If they had included knee and ankle articulation, this wouldn't have happened.

che trasforma Venezia in un mondo magico
On April 25, Venice celebrates the city's patron saint, St Mark.
The ancient legend tells that the two merchants, Rustico da Torcello and Buono da Malamocco, stole the relics of St. Mark in Alexandria and then transported that to Venice in 828.
The relic of the saint was welcomed with great joy in Venice. The Venetian history tells that the evangelist Mark evangelized the Venetian people, getting its patron. San Marco became the emblem of the city taking the form of a winged lion wielding a sword and holds in paws an open book that reads: Peace to you or Mark my evangelist.
On April 25, the date of the death of St. Mark's, still today Venice celebrates the commemoration with a procession in the Basilica of St Mark, which brings together the religious and civil authorities of the city.
On April 25, there is also a hugely widespread tradition in Venice: the Feast of the "Bocolo", which is a tradition to give a rosebud to the loved woman.

The Habitat and Population Evaluation Team (HAPET) is part of the Migratory Bird Division of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), which is a branch of the United States Department of the Interior. Our mission is to improve the biological basis for migratory bird management in the Upper Midwest.
The Habitat and Population Evaluation Team was established in 1989 to coordinate the annual USFWS Waterfowl Breeding Population and Production Survey. Since its inception, HAPET's mission has expanded to include strategic planning and evaluation for the full range of migratory birds occurring in the tall grass prairie portion of the U.S. Prairie Pothole Region. HAPET, a part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Migratory Birds and State Programs, provides technical assistant to USFWS National Wildlife Refuge System and the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, as well as to a host of partners comprising the Prairie Pothole Joint Venture.
HAPET uses strategic planning at regional scales to guide the delivery of conservation by management partners. A comprehensive strategic plan provides biological input into the decision processes about:
Where to deliver habitat conservation to maximize species benefits;
What form management should take at a site given habitat condition and landscape structure; and
How much management is warranted to optimize benefit:cost ratios.
Because strategic plans with these attributes include a geographic component, they are referred to as spatially-explicit plans. Strategic planning is founded on the idea that every part of a landscape has a unique and optimal management decision associated with it. Often that optimal decision will be no wildlife management. In areas of the landscape where management is warranted, the choices of management treatments to apply, and how much management is cost effective, depend on the potential of the area to affect migratory bird populations – the ultimate goal – and the cost of management at that location. Consequently, strategic conservation planning has the greatest value when managers are willing and able to prioritize management alternatives. Planning increases the likelihood of making cost effective decisions by avoiding misapplications of management treatments or investing in areas with limited potential to affect populations. In this fashion, the HAPET seeks to provide biological quality assurance that increases the effectiveness and efficiency of management.
HAPET biologists develop biological models and apply them to spatial data using Geographic Information System technology. Specifically, model-based strategic planning seeks to enable:
Identification of management priority areas where migratory bird populations may be effected most efficiently resulting in greater management cost-effectiveness;
Development of sound habitat objectives by relating population objectives to the predicted carrying capacity of site-specific habitats; and
Assessment of management accomplishments in terms of the predicted consequences of individual management actions (e.g., a wetland restoration) for populations and regional carrying capacity.

To the Editors:
The Feature Article by Keith A. Webster, "Mitochondrial Death Channels" (September–October 2009) beautifully illustrates the strength and weakness of much contemporary biomedical research: The strength is its exquisite description of the molecular, cellular and physiological details of a clinically important phenomenon, myocardial infarction, in the contexts of apoptosis, oxidative stress and ischemia-hypoxia. Its weakness is the absence of broader contexts, a common feature of contemporary biomedical research in papers and seminars.
The context here is the role of innate immunity in triggering acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Innate immunity, which is the initial response of the body to infectious, traumatic and toxic stresses comprises many pathways. One of them, the complement pathway, consists of some 30 serum and membrane-bound proteins that protect against infections, but also damage tissues such as the heart. This pathway is triggered by ischemia, hypoxia and oxidative stress and also mediates apoptosis and myocardial infarction. Knowledge of the participation of this pathway in infarction is important not only because it helps to explain how the heart is damaged but also suggests treatments such as antagonists of this pathway. Moreover, knowledge of this pathway may help to predict and evaluate the success of various treatments. For instance, drug- eluting stents employed to reduce the narrowing of blood vessels in the heart can trigger the complement pathway and thereby induce significant inflammation that impairs vascular healing and leads to renarrowing of the vessels.
The absence of broader context in much contemporary biomedical research reflects either the lack of knowledge of that context (for example, innate immunity and the complement pathway), or failure to consider the context germane. In either case, a byproduct is failure to communicate the broader picture to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty. This failure is then reflected in the inadequate training that many of our graduate students and postdoctoral fellows receive and the eventual narrow teaching that they themselves do.
Abram B. Stavitsky
Cleveland, OH
Dr. Webster responds:
I appreciate Dr. Stavitsky's comments. Unlike innate immunity, however, the role of the mitochondrial death channels in necrotic and apoptotic death during AMI are now quite well understood. The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is a clear therapeutic target and there are a number of candidates of which, in my opinion, cyclosporine A (CsA), volatile anesthetics and Viagra are the most promising. Each of these agents target the mPTP—CsA directly through its binding to cyclophilin D (CypD), volatile anesthetics and Viagra indirectly by activating ischemic preconditioning and inhibiting GSK3-* upstream of CypD. Clinical trials are underway for these agents, each of which is already approved for other indications. And successful results have already been reported where volatile anesthetics are used during angioplasty or CABG.
Innate immunity is a much more difficult target. We are not sure whether it is injurious or protective. It is not clear to what extent innate immunity is a consequence rather than a cause of AMI. A central role of innate immunity in coronary artery disease has been recognized for many years, and an exaggerated role of inflammation within damaged vessel walls after angioplasty with or without coronary stenting is indeed a serious clinical concern and the focus of intense research. Activation of innate immunity during myocardial infarction and remodeling has also been recognized for many years and is supported both by animal and patient studies that have demonstrated increased levels of circulating inflammatory cells, cytokines, and complement factors in patients with unstable angina, pre- and post AMI, and post-AMI progressing to heart failure.
Support for a direct role of innate immunity in AMI also includes the presence of neutrophils, macrophages and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines within the infarct and peri-infarct regions of the myocardium. In addition, over-expression of inflammatory cytokines in mouse models can reproduce multiple features of post-MI contractile dysfunction, negative remodeling and heart failure. Despite this, clinical trials targeting either complement or inflammatory cytokines have been largely unsuccessful. This may be because the overall role of innate immunity during human AMI is protective. So, whereas I agree with Dr. Stavitsky that graduate students and postdocs should be made aware of the roles of innate immunity in cardiovascular disease—at the University of Miami, they are—I am not sure that I have missed a broader context in my article by focusing on the death channels.

Erin Gloria Ryan — Marilyn Monroe's iconic "subway dress" from The Seven Year Itch has sold at auction for a whopping $5.6 million. The gigantic price tag exceeded the auction house's expectation that the dress would sell for about $2 million.
The buyer, who won the bid after 20 minutes of auction drama so intense that it had seller Debbie Reynolds in tears, placed his bids over the phone and could not be immediately identified.
The question is now: who, in this recession, has $5.6 million to spend on a dead lady's dress? The topical wisecracking side of me is inclined to think that Hugh Hefner drown his cancelled wedding sorrows in the flimsy fabric once worn by early Playboy's favorite centerfold. Sorry, Hef. Your twin ex-girlfriends who just moved back into the Playboy mansion can't possibly both fit in there, I don't care how much beauty standards have changed since the 1950's.

Thread: Cichlid beginner
Filtration for a deep tank like that with such a heavy bioload IMO should be an AC110, and the rena xp3 if you like that. Possibly backed up by another HOB if the budget permits. Would also recommend a 250 watt heater minimum. The list 850R suggests is, as stated, a start but the only way to really learn about the temperament of the fish is to research them individually. It's not as hard as it sounds, just a bit of reading. I chose to overstock my tank in the beginning when I first had mbuna and it resulted in losses, so be careful as escamosa has mentioned. In a newly cycled tank it can cause ammonia spikes to add a large number of fish. However, I currently have 18-20 or more fish(anywhere from a half inch to 4.5'+) in my 75 and it really spreads the aggression out, the affect is noticeable. Now, as has also been mentioned, the tank does not have the appropriate footprint which is the main factor in determining whether or not a fish is appropriate for your tank. I would again go with escamosas advice here, but I personally believe you could get away with adding UP TO 4 more fish, for a grand total of 12.
I also have syno cats, which I would suggest looking into if you like bottom dwellers.
The difference between petricola and multipunctatus is, essentially, price and availability. I payed 25 dollars a piece for my Synodontis Multipunctatus which adds up quickly with schooling fish. Also I am not 100% positive but I think the petricola cats stay a bit smaller.
Also, make sure you use some sort of aragonite sand or african cichlid sand just to aid in keeping the water hardness and such in check between water changes.

How often and how much water for water changes? My situation is I have a water softener, So I have to turn that off, Then I get completely freezing water that I put in a rubbermaid for a day or so, heat it with an aquarium heater then pour it in the tank. so yeah its a pain for me. But i do NOT neglect!!!
For my main mbuna tank and my breeding tank I have to use a pH buffer, which requires me to put the amount of water which I am changing into a tote, with a powerhead or an airstone in order to complete the gas exchange process and properly "mix in" the buffer. So I feel your pain there. I use a 45 gallon tote from wal-mart.
Anyways, I recommend 50% a week or around 30-35 gallons per week. If I were you my schedule would be to fill up the tote on friday night, add your heater, buffer(if necessary or you choose to do so), and airstone or powerhead and allow it to ciculate for approximately 24 hours. Maybe you could just set aside an hour or so on saturday night or sunday to do the waterchanges? I would also try to be as consistent as possible with your schedule, but it wont destroy your tank to skip a week if absolutely necessary.Coastie-to-be... hopefully.

I already do waterchanges in my 75 gallon turtle tank and my 20 gallon turtle tank and my 10 gallon (soon to be 20) betta tank, so im used to that
You should be fine. You're adding rock too, correct?><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º>

Yeah I am.
The crowding method has worked well for me, although I have to change the water out of my 55 gallon tank every 3 days or so. The nitrate build up get a bit high, but the ammonia and nitrite levels remain low. If you decide to go with the crowding method, make sure you get a pump! Use a power head to pump the water out, and have a holding tank (big trash can) with treated water and pump it back in (takes me less than 40 minutes). It takes some work, but when the tank is crowded enough you can have just about any combination of cichlids (relative to tank size and how big the fish get of course). In my 55 gal. I have 4 OB Peacocks, 1 Anchor Island male and 1 female, 1 Red Zebra, 1 Ice Blue Zebra, 4 Maingano, 1 Yellow lab, 1 Acei, 3 Lethrinops Intermedius, 5 Taiwan Reef (1 male, 4 female), 1 Eureka Red Jake, 1 Venustus, 1 Cobalt Blue, and 1 Melanochromis auratus. They do show temperament, but it is short lived due to a lot of hiding places and a crowd. I have the tank going with all of them for 5 months now, and no problems!

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Eddie -
left-side snake roll -kewl!
Nice pics of the Newfound River basin Mike! This stream joins the Pemi about 1-2 miles down the road, along with several other oxygenated sources in the Coolidge Woods stretch. Aside from providing a comfortable spey practice pool for us it is a good trout and landlocked river from this basin up to the outflow of Newfound lake until it warms up when the fish scoot back into the pristine lake.
I spoke with the NH F&W and learned that due to the quality conditions on the Pemi, nearly half of the 3000-3500 brood and sea-run (limited numbers) are recycled into this section (Ayers Island to Franklin Dam) after spawning each year. There has been evidence that salmon holdover in this stretch, and there is a reasonable amount of forage in the form of shiners, chubs and other river minnows.
It's really sad that this stretch is unavailable to sea run atlantics - the end of the line is Amoskeag in Manchester, even if they did run the gauntlet from Lawrence / Lowell successfully. I have a feeling the historic spawning activity occurred up around Woodstock and higher where the river bottom changes over to gravel moraines, and reaching that stretch would be harder still - but the many tribs offer much promise if the fish passage was there.
Tribs of the Mac and Pemi have been attracting sea-runs for the cooler and oxygenated water, some of which are good spawning candidates e.g. Souhegan if Merrimac had passage, etc.
There is a review of the handling of salmon open to the public on Thursday April 24th in Public Serv. Energy Park, Manchester where the group responsible for fish management (oxymoron) CHI Energy Inc. is responding to the Merrimac River Anadramous Fish Restoration group. CHI is responsible for fish passage systems, which appears to the observer to have not completely ineffective IMHO. It starts at 10am and runs until 1pm so if you are in the area take a long lunch, I plan on attending.
Adopt a river!
Yes indeed
I'll sure echo the opinions of Juro and Mike- the Pemi is a great stretch of water for some spey practice, with the bonus of possibly hooking up with a fat broodstock salmon. Right in my backyard, too, I want to thank Juro for the motivation to finally get over there, after thinking about it for several years. I really enjoyed the day, meeting Eddie, Mike, and Juro, great guys all. Juro generously and skillfully spent time with each of us, starting with the 'Derek Brown swing' , and giving us tips on getting our D-loops working properly. It was great to get a look at the CND rods, very impressive, the pricing is unbelievable! I look forward to adding one to my arsenal, for sure. All in all, a great day, including getting inspired about Striper fishing, as Eddie, Juro, and Mike proved to be Striper Fanatics, a wealth of expertise. And Juro's tide charts for the Cape in his PDA- beautiful!! Talk about appropriate technology- really...
Hope we can put together another gathering on the Pemi after she settles down a bit, I should be able to get over there periodically, and will post conditions. Nice photos, Mike! Sorry about the lame D-loop!!
I second your praise of the Pemi Juro. Without a doubt.
I also wanted to thank you, John (macspey) and Eddie for your advice, patience and good company. I had a great day and I will be back on the Pemi in a few weeks.
Juro, as we discussed you should definitely sign me up for a CND rod. I am very eager to test out the rod and get into fish both on the Pemi and on Joppa.
Here are some pics from yesterday - the 1st two were with my polarizing filter and the 3rd is not. I like the filter - good water shots.
Juro watches John throw some line:
Nice D loop:
Here with Eddie on the near shore:
Excellent Practice Location
Just wanted to mention for those in the NE US that there is an excellent location for practicing spey fishing in Bristol, NH on the Pemmigewasset River, headwaters for the Merrimac where most go today for this purpose. The Pemi is 200' across right now in some spots, in summer it should be about 175-185' in the same spots, probably averaging 150 for most of the Coolidge Woods stretch. Because it's a huge tailwater river with flows coming out of the bottom of the upper Pemi dam, the water temps stay cool all year and it provides good habitat for the brood atlantics used for the restoration programs in the area as well as trout and smallmouth bass. Although the shoreline is typically New Englandish in terms of lack of sprawling gravel moraines >sigh< the water is crisp, bright and the pronounced boulder gardens plentiful. It's an ideal river for doing a float with a short stretch or long stretch option. The river is uninhabited for the most part and I watched a golden eagle overhead yesterday while my fly made a swing into a sweet outside bend seam.
Although it's hardly a "classic" atlantic salmon river it would be if not for the dams and demise of the original salmo salar runs that were rumored to be legendary in the river system at one time. It's not "real" salmon fishing but 40 minutes from White River Junct. Vermont, 90 minutes from Boston, cheap lodging, decent places to eat, etc - make it a nice place to stay in the swing of things between each trip to the salmo meccas of the north. I practice spey casting in frog ponds so this is a nice step up, and there's nothing wrong with the possibility of a big tug when I'm practicing even if they are far from native salmon of the north and across the atlantic.
Flows are a bit high right now but as the season progresses into spring and summer it should prove to be a haven for New Englander's wanting to get a day trip of quality spey casting and a sense of being removed from the urban world that is hard to find in these proportions this close to home.

Gossman book awarded Mosse Prize
Posted January 23, 2002; 12:18 a.m.
A book by Lionel Gossman, the M. Taylor Pyne Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures Emeritus, has won the American Historical Association's George L. Mosse Prize.
The book, "Basel in the Age of Burckhardt: A Study in Unseasonable Ideas" (University of Chicago Press, 2000), was honored as "an outstanding major work of extraordinary scholarly distinction, creativity and originality in the intellectual and cultural history of Europe since the Renaissance."
In the book, Gossman explores how the city of Basel, Switzerland, became a focal point for antimodernist thought in the 19th century. He concentrates primarily on the work of two scholars, Jacob Burckhardt and Johannn Jacob Bachofen.
A Princeton faculty member since 1976, Gossman has taught courses on 17th- and 18th-century French literature and on 19th-century European literature and politics. He was granted emeritus status in 1999 and is now affiliated with the new Department of French and Italian .

Good point. One thing you might consider, at least until you can discern "I have to pee" from her other noises, is to get up and take her out every time she cries. However, if she doesn't go right to her business, bring her back in and put her back in her crate. 3:30 AM is NOT puppy playtime.
Are you starting yet to associate a word with her going? I used "bathroom" so mine would begin to understand what I wanted from him.
Stay with it. Your pup will eventually get it and it will get easier. Mine still just wants out to play sometimes, but at least not at 3:30 anymore.
Last night when I got home we played in the yard for awhile walking around perimeter of our lot several times which is a pretty good walk for her then we went in and played and did some sit training and ate. Then she took a nap while we ate dinner. After dinner we went for another walk up and down the street. After that we came in and played for awhile and worked on sit again. I kept her awake till we went to bed and boy was she pooped haha (this was my goal) She slept from 11 till 6:15 which is good in my mind. I did find out she loves ice cubes. An ice cube will keep her occupied for awhile if we need to do something and cant watch her.
She has decreased the biting and understands the command of "no bite" , she is great on a leash, no pulling just walks next to me or a little behind me. She is getting sit next is lay down. It is nice seeing progress.

These chocolate-hazelnut treats combine the rich creaminess of a cheesecake with the portability and utensil-free convenience of a cupcake.
Watch Abby demonstrate how to make the mini cheesecakes.
Line 12 regular-sized (2-3/4-inch diameter) muffin cups with foil liners (paper ones won't work here) and lightly grease the bottom and sides.
Put the cookie crumbs and butter in a small bowl and mix with a fork until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Portion the crumbs evenly among the foil liners (1 firmly packed tablespoon in each). If you have a tart tamper, this is a great time to use it. If not, tear off a piece of plastic wrap, place it over the crumbs, and use your fingers to press firmly to make a compact layer. Slide the tin into the refrigerator while you make the filling. (This helps keep the crumbs on the bottom when you are swirling the batters together.)
Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 300°F. Put the cream cheese in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium high until very smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar, vanilla, and salt. Continue beating until well blended and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl frequently; there should be no lumps. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating on medium speed until just blended. Once the eggs have been added to the batter, it's important to mix thoroughly without overbeating or the cheesecake will puff and crack during baking.
Scoop out 1 cup of the vanilla batter and set aside. Add the Nutella to the remaining batter and stir until well blended. Portion the Nutella batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups (about 4 Tbs. per cup). Next, portion the vanilla batter evenly among the cups (about 1 Tbs. in each). The cups should be completely filled.
Drag and fold the tip of a wooden skewer, toothpick, or paring knife through the two batters in a swirled pattern. There should still be solid streaks of each batter visible, and the cups should be filled to the brim. Tap the muffin tin on the counter to settle the batters. Bake until the centers barely jiggle when the pan is nudged, 20 to 22 minutes. Set the muffin tin on a rack and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate until very cold, at least 6 hours.
The baked cheesecakes can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Once cooled, cover the muffin tins with plastic (tin and all to keep the foil perky and pretty), then refrigerate or freeze.

Corner Brook—Ross Coates felt it was time to give up on a failed experiment, but hopes to bring some flavour back to senior hockey in the province.
Coates, the president of the Western Royals, confirmed Monday that his team had indicated to Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador the franchise is no longer interested in any concept of a provincial senior hockey league this year.
An email sent out Sunday by provincial league president Neil Norcott indicated that the Royals and three other teams — the Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts, Gander Flyers and Clarenville Caribous — have pulled out of the six-team Newfoundland and Labrador Senior Hockey League.
"We tried it for the last three years. It's been a failed experiment," Coates said bluntly Monday when asked why he decided to opt out.
"We thought our fan base would grow with a provincial league, but as a matter of fact it has actually shrunk."
That leaves the Eastlink CeeBee Stars of Harbour Grace and the Mount Pearl Blades in a bit of a pickle with the impending collapse of the provincial setup.
"A couple of teams may not be happy, but we got to do what we got to do," said Coates. "It's just too expensive to travel to the east coast time and time again. We got to go back to a better economic structure for us."
Coates, who is the team's president, said the decision to pull out of the provincial league was based on his talks with officials of the other teams who opted to pull the plug.
The plan is to have four teams operate in a west coast hockey league — similiar to the old West Coast Senior Hockey League — said Coates, adding the change will enable all teams an opportunity to cut down on travel costs, which has been the biggest challenges for the franchises.
A west league is something he believes will inject some life into a league that has watched attendance spiral at most venues, but especially in Deer Lake where the Royals called the Hodder Memorial Recreation Complex home for the past two seasons.
Coates believes a better schedule will help renew interest in senior hockey.
He remembers how attendance was always great when the team played in the West Coast Senior Hockey League, and he hopes that will be the case again this year with its return.
"When we had a west league, we had hockey at home every second weekend and we built up some good rivalries with the teams we had," he said, noting it's hard for fans to follow a team when they spend sometimes as many as three-straight weeks on the road in the provincial setup.
He hopes the two teams currently on the outskirts — both the CeeBee Stars and Blades — find their way back to a senior hockey league on the east to set the stage for an east vs. west Herder final like it was before teams took a shot at playing in a provincial league three seasons ago.
"We found the flavour is kind of gone out of it," he said of the provincial concept.
"You have to go back to what did work. We had a system in the west league that was working for many years. We had some good rivalries and we had some good Herder finals at the end."

When I used to run alot in Canada with my MR TRU dog, I would write a personel check and based on the exchange rate make sure I had a couple $ extra just in case the rates changed by the time it got there. I would mark it "entry fee & donation", never had a problem at BRANDON or MGDA. In fact If I sent to much they would say You've got money coming back and I would say it's a donation. God, I loved going up there, the greatest people! Be prepared to party!

I have trialed in Canada for 35 years first in obedience, then hunt tests, then field trials. I used to contact the secretaries and ask them if I could write a personal check for them to hold onto until I got there and then trade the check for Canadian cash. I was never turned down. Of course, that was when the U.S. dollar was worth a lot more than the Canadian dollar so they wouldn't have been out money if I didn't show up. I opened a Canadian checking account awhile back and now I don't have to worry about it.
it usually takes 2 weeks for my entries to arrive to canada usually triple postage is required and i usually write a check for little
over the amount. the secretaries have always cashed and given me the difference at the trial . i did have an account in canada
no problem being a yank used the scotia bank. never heard of a bank not wanting to hold your money

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, right now it looks like I'll send a personal check for the club to hold then pay cash at the trial.
If Canadian Clubs have a number of entries from US owners they could simply set up a standard PayPal account to process entries. You can now easily accept payment in a number of currencies. US/CDN or CDN/US should be a snap.
I didn't dig into it fully but this PayPal link will get you started in the right direction.
You can even setup a web store to accept payment in numerous currencies.
I still have a Canadian check I never cashed due to the PIA. Souvenir from winning a National Calcutta.

Centre of Expertise for Local Government Reform
TURKEY - Country Specific Programmes for Capacity building
Activity in 2012
Training for women leaders
In cooperation with the Union of Turkish Municipalities (UTM), the Centre of Expertise implemented the first full round (3 three-day sessions) of the Leadership Academy Programme for 23 women local elected officials (deputy mayors and councillors from Turkish municipalities). The first 3-day session was carried out in Ankara in March 2012; the second stage was hosted by the Municipality of Diyarbakir on 9-11 May; while the municipality of Luleburgaz hosted the last 3-day session on 9-11 July. Participants' feedback was highly positive. Several said that the Academy had "changed their lives' and it had strengthened their ambition and were ready to seek re-election and fight for change. They all felt part of a strong network of alumni and were already beginning to consider a Leadership Academy Summer School next year.
Best Practice Programme
A range of preparatory activities were implemented to launch the first round of the Best Practice Programme in Turkey in co-operation with the Union of Turkish Municipalities. In March 2012 a one day session was organized with the relevant staff members from the UTM to introduce the programme, methodology and detailed implementation steps. 22 staff members including the Secretary General and the higher management of the UTM attended the session. The possible themes were discussed, and consequently the UTM management identified the members of the Steering Committee and members of the Selection Panel. UTM planned to present the programme at their general assembly and to launch the programme in early 2013.
Activity in 2010
Leadership Academy Programme
Two 3-day training sessions were organised in the second part of 2010.

Well, I crammed a few more l'il features into pacman 2.0beta (might as well, while it's still un-released to the general public). Beta testers haven't reported any problems yet, and they seem quite pleased with the new features. The only part I'm not happy with is the performance of the db_find_conflicts() function, which has to search through all files in all packages in the database, looking for conflicts. It's an expensive operation with a multi-textfile database that I'm using. Everything has its trade-offs, I suppose.
Received some more positive feedback from a user today. I love that stuff. :) When you're an open-source programmer who doesn't make any money for his work, positive feedback and a general sense of pride and accomplishment are really the only returns you get on your hard work.

Reality Check: Public Employees' Contributions To Pensions
Employees' Pension Contribution Part Of Overall Compensation Package
MADISON, Wis. - WISC-TV and Channel 3000 have received a number of e-mails from viewers about an article circulating online that claims state workers pay 100 percent into their pensions, while Gov. Scott Walker and others say they pay nothing.
The issue centers on a question: For workers who are provided a pension and a health care plan by their employers, is the money employers pay in on workers' behalf the workers' money?
In a report on Tax.com, writer David Cay Johnston makes the argument that "out of every dollar that funds Wisconsin's pension and health insurance plans for state workers, 100 cents comes from state workers."
"Because the contributions consist of money that employees chose to take as deferred wages rather than immediately in cash," Johnston writes.
The governor has been arguing that state workers contribute nothing, at the envy of private employees.
"(Private employees) are looking at this and saying, 'I'd love this. I would love to pay 12.6 percent. I would love to have a pension where my employer pays half of it.' It's a total disconnect," Walker said.
WISC-TV found this needs clarification.
First, all of the money paid to most state workers is taxpayer money, whether it is their salaries or fringe benefits, so it is inaccurate to say that any of the money is "coming from state workers," although they are taxpayers, as well.
Whether this is deferred compensation is a little trickier.
According Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission General Counsel Peter Davis, many years ago, workers may have bargained to take less in salary to have the state contribute to their pension plan, but that doesn't mean that the amount contributed now by the state is any less taxpayer money.
Johnston argues that a correct way to describe the governor's plan is that Walker "wants to further reduce the cash wages state workers take home in their paychecks."
This is true. But Walker wants to get this savings by requiring employees to contribute more of that paycheck to a pension the state covers.
The bottom line is that it's inaccurate to say that employees "contribute nothing" toward pension, because that contribution is part of their overall compensation package provided by the state.
But it is also inaccurate to say that employees "contribute 100 percent" toward their pension, because that money is taxpayer money and part of a compensation package that could be bargained or, in this case, taken away.

DHEA-sulfate test measures the amount of DHEA-sulfate in the blood. DHEA-sulfate is a weak male hormone (androgen) produced by the adrenal gland in both men and women.
Serum DHEA-sulfate; Dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate test; DHEA-sulfate - serum
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
No special preparation is necessary. However, tell your health care provider if you are taking any vitamins or supplements that contain DHEA or DHEA-sulfate.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or sting. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is done to check the function of the adrenal glands. The adrenal gland is one of the major sources of androgens in women.
The DHEA-sulfate test is often done in women who have male body characteristics (virilism) or excessive hair growth (
Normal blood levels of DHEA-sulfate can differ by sex and age.
Typical normal ranges for females are:
Typical normal ranges for males are:
Note: ug/dL = microgram per deciliter
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some laboratories use different measurements or test different specimens.Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
An increase in DHEA-sulfate may be due to:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Creation of Local Files
· "DefaultBib" is the local bibliographic record file that comes with the Connexion software, but you can create as many separate additional files as you need. · To create additional bibliographic local files, click on Local File Manager on the File menu. · Click Create File. · Supply a name for the new file you are creating, such as "coast.bib" for USMGC records, "miss.bib" for Mississippiana Collection records, etc.· Click "Open." Your master local file list will show with the new file you have just created. · Be sure you have the file you want selected as your default local file when you are downloading records. You will need to return to Local File Manager to choose a different local file to work from; only one local file at a time can be selected as the default file.· To select a default local file: on the file list screen, click the file you want to use, then click the "Set as Default" button. A red check will appear by the selected file. Click "Close."
· Authorization numbers in Connexion can be stored in two places. A login and password must be stored for each bibliographic local file that you create. After you have created a file, click the "Authorization" button in the "Local File Manager" window. Enter the logon ID and password, and click OK. · You can also store a master list of logon IDs and passwords under Tools/Options/Authorizations. · If you click the "logon" icon on the toolbar, the authorization associated with your current default local bibliographic file should come up.
Batch Searching
· Click on Batch, then check "Enter Bibliographic Search Keys." · Type each search key in the box at the top of the screen, then click on Add. Each search key will be added to your list. Click "Save" to save the list when you have finished entering search keys, and close the window. · Alternatively, you can type a list of search keys into a word processing program, or copy and paste such a list from an Excel spreadsheet, and save the list as a document. Then, on the search key screen in Connexion, click Import. You can then specify which file to import, and the list of search keys will be transferred to the "Enter Bibliographic Batch Search Keys" window. Click "Save" to save the list, then close. · To log on and search, click on Batch, then Process Batch. Connexion will log on to OCLC, download the records to your default local file, and log off. The system automatically generates a search results report to let you know if any searches were unsuccessful. · To view the most recent report, click Batch, then View reports. · If your search retrieves no records and you're pretty sure that it should have, check your settings on the Batch tab under Tools/Options. With the default "Maximum number of matches to download" setting, Connexion will retrieve only one record per search key. You can change this setting when doing author/title, author, or title searches to allow the system to retrieve multiple records.
Online Searching
· On the Menu bar, click File, then Logon (or click the "connection" icon in the toolbar). Connexion will log on using the login number/password that is stored in association with your default local file. · If you are cataloging for the Coast campus, be sure that the correct login is used; when you are logged in using the Coast number, "MLAC" instead of "MUSH" will display in the 049 field of records you pull up. · To search after you are logged in, click Cataloging/Search/WorldCat to search bibliographic records, or Authorities/Search/LC Names and Subjects to search the online authority file.· Enter your search key in the "Command Line Search" box, or to search ISBNs, select ISBN under "Search For."· If you have retrieved the record you want, click the Save icon to save the record to your local file. Try to do as much actual record editing offline as you can.
Editing Records in Local Files
· To edit records in a particular local file, have the desired file selected as the default, then click Cataloging/Search/Local Save File, or else click the corresponding icon on the toolbar (disk with a "B" in front of it). The list of records in the specified file will display; click on individual records to display them. · Editing in Connexion is similar to using a word-processing program, except that each MARC field has its own text area, or box. Hit Enter to add a blank field. · When you edit an existing field or add a new field, the start-of-message symbol (right-pointing triangle) will appear at the beginning of that line; this will help you keep track of changes you've made to the record. · If you need to add diacritics, click Edit/Enter Diacritics and select the appropriate diacritic from the displayed table. · After you've made all changes to the record, or click Action/Save Record to Local File, or click the toobar disk icon with a plus sign in front of it-- or you can close the record and the software will prompt you to save it.
Adding the 949 Field
· 949's are required for every export destination except Preorder, Overlay_no949 and the serials export files. See the function key template for the appropriate 949 macro to use for the material you are cataloging. · You will need a 949 for each item; if you have two copies or volumes of the title you are cataloging, add a 949 for each one. Be sure there is a space on each side of the subfields, and don't leave extra spaces.· Because call numbers are of varying lengths, some call numbers may require editing after they are pasted into the 949. After the 949 field is created, check the call number to be sure that all of it is present and that there are no extra spaces at the end of it. · Edit the 949 to remove subfields that may not be needed for your particular item (e.g. fields for volume or copy numbers). · Add today's date in the second |o subfield after your initials. · Scan the barcode into |i. · If your 949 macros don't work, click on Tools/Keymaps. Check to see that the selected keymap is usm2. This is the keymap that contains the macro function keys. If the keymap is set to "default," the macros won't work.
949 field elements for WorkFlows:
949 99 |a call no. |v vol. no. |w classification scheme |c copy no. |i barcode |m library |l location |o oclc no. |o your initials/date |r circulation type |s retention status |t item type |x item category
(note: not all materials will require an item category)
Updating Holdings
· Highlight the entries in your Bibliographic Local File list that you wish to update.
· Pull down the Action menu, and click on Update Holdings. You can also click the Update button on the toolbar (looks like a yellow arrow with two sheet of paper). If you use the toolbar button, please be sure that you are not clicking the Produce button, which is very similar to the Update icon. The Produce button shows a catalog card in front of the yellow arrow. If this button is on your toolbar, use the Toolbar Editor function under Tools to remove it. Use of the Produce button will result in a set of catalog cards being sent from OCLC, for which we will be charged.
· After you click Update, an "r" will appear by the entries in the "u" column of the local file. Then click on Batch and select Process Batch.
· Check the box by your default local file, then check the "Online Searches" box and click on OK. Connexion will log on to OCLC, update the holdings for the selected records, and log off. A "c" will then appear in the "u" column of your bibliographic local file list.
Locking and Replacing Records
· Follow the same steps as for updating holdings (see above), except that you choose Replace Record on the Action menu. Results will appear in the "r" column in the bibliographic local file list.
· Pull down the Tools menu and select Options. Click the Batch tab. If there is a check in the "Bibliographic Record Export" box, remove it. Click on OK. Once this step is performed, you will not have to repeat it. · Select the appropriate export destination by clicking on Tools/Options/Export and highlighting the correct file. · In your Bibliographic Local File, highlight the records you want to export. Pull down the Action menu and click Export, or click the "E" icon on the toolbar. · If you receive a prompt stating that a file of exported records already exists, always select the "Append" option to add your records to the file on the server. If you click "Overwrite," your records will wipe out other people's work. · Records stay in your bibliographic local files until you delete them. Don't delete any records from your Connexion files until you verify that they loaded correctly in WorkFlows.

Parents of U5 and U6 players play an active part in the enjoyment their children have in youth soccer.
Encouraging them to try new things is step one. Now that they are out there kicking, running, laughing, falling down and all chasing the ball simultaneously, they need positive reinforcement.
Many parents during matches, and sometimes even during training sessions, yell out to the kids what to do and when to do it. They cheer when things go right and sometimes cry out in anguish when they don't. They are trying to be positive and help the kids. But what many adults have forgotten from when they were 5-, 6-, 7- and 8-years-old is that children at those ages can only focus on a limited number of tasks at one time.
Indeed, it takes all of the attention capacity of an U5 and U6 players to control the ball. This is because they are still developing basic balance, coordination and agility. Also, in a 3 versus 3 game, the odds for the player with the ball are generally 1 versus 5. So during a game, the player needs to focus on the task at hand — trying to control the ball.
Unfortunately, a young child can be distracted by all of the adults yelling from the sideline. Now the child has to make a choice, either play the ball or listen to the parents.
The match environment simply becomes more complex each year as there are new rules to learn, more players on the field, new tactics to learn and more space to cover. So the lesson is clear--- If parents want to help the kids play their best, support them by sitting back and enjoying the game.

Q: What is nominal dimension and actual dimension?
Q: Why are the actual dimensions different when the nominal dimensions are the same?
Q: Can we install Armstrong RH70 commercial ceiling if we have a lot of rainy days during the year?
Q: Does Armstrong mineral fiber ceilings prevent mold & mildew?
Q: What is nominal dimension and actual dimension?
A: Nominal dimension is defined as the spacing between two horizontal grids from center to center. Regular nominal dimensions
that Armstrong offers include 600X600mm, 600X1200mm, 2X2" and 2X4". Actual dimension, the plant standard of product inspection
is defined as the measured size of the product. Actual dimension is smaller than nominal dimension in order to match the grid
system and satisfy the requirements of ceiling installation and maintenance.
Sales volume and total price is evaluated with nominal dimension. The total area of ceilings that customer needs is also measured with nominal dimension.
Q: Why are the actual dimensions different when the nominal dimensions are the same?
A: The reasons cause the difference include different system – metric and imperial, different edge detail and different width
of grid face. Therefore, the actual dimensions are adjusted to satisfy the installation requirements.
Normally, the actual dimension of the back of Tegular board is slightly smaller than that of Lay-in board which with the same nominal dimension to reduce the damage of the Tegular edge during the installation.
Since actual dimensions are adjusted to match different grid system, it is tremendously important to choose the right grid system.
Q: Can we install Armstrong RH70 commercial ceiling if we have a lot of rainy days during the year?
A: Armstrong RH70 ceiling is appropriate for relative humidity up to 70%, temperature up to 30°C. Installation shall be carried
out in spaces where the building is enclosed and HVAC systems are functioning and will be in continuous operation.
If the relative humidity is exceeding 70% at your area, Armstrong HumiGuard Plus RH99 is recommended. Armstrong HumiGuard Plus RH99 is formulated to withstand conditions with temperatures up to 49°C and relative humidity up to 99% to inhibit panel sag.
Q: Does Armstrong mineral fiber ceilings prevent mold & mildew?
A: Site conditions with excessive humidity, dampness and/or poor ventilation can lead to mold and/or mildew growth on almost
any surface; including concrete. We have no control over such job site conditions, nor can we guarantee that our HumiGuard
Plus RH99 ceiling products will never support mildew.
We recommend that excessive humidity and dampness be treated with a combination of dehumidification, ventilation and air conditioning the space affected.

So, it's not that I fail to realize something yet -- it's that I disagree you.
I understand that you and may Republican officials think that the same 'hands off' approach that got us into this mess will get us out. That is counterintuitive, though.
I suspect that more than a few Republicans will be voting on the final bill, once they feel they have done an adequate amount of grandstanding. We will know soon enough.

I will agree with you that the problems didn't start over the last 8 years. Let's give credit where it's due --- to the 'Reagan Revolution'.
Carter: Interest rate, 21%. Inflation, 13.5%. Unemployment, 7%. The so-called Misery Index, which Carter used to great effect in his 1976 campaign to win election.
Reagans last year: Interest rate, 9%. Inflation, 4.1%. Unemployment, 5.5%.
George W. Bush: Interest rate, 8% down to almost 0%. Inflation, 2.6%. Unemployment, 4.5%.
Pass the Bong Backpastur you have had it too long.
Bitter Clinger Regards
As popular as the changes were, I believe that the "Reagan Revolution" did more to damage the long term soundness of our economy in general and our financial services industry in particular than anything since the deregulation under Harding. Massive profiteering in the S&L industry was followed by total collapse at the taxpayers' expense. Massive profiteering through the liquidation of pensions assets to bolster current profits and bonuses is directly linked to the unfunded pension liabilities we see today that are being bailed out by taxpayers. The deification of the trickle down economics and supply side mantras is directly linked to the most massive concentration of wealth in our history, runaway speculation with the assets of our largest companies, and a culture of greed.
Our lunch is being eaten by countries that have kept their sights on the long term value of their businesses (a lesson learned in Japan only after their own collapse) while we have lost control of our strategic business assets to gain short term labor cost advantages.
How's that for a lefty rant and thread hijack?
