The only thing I have found to reliably repel ticks is permethrin treated clothing. After having 7 flareups of Lyme Disease I finally learned prevention is the best tactic and that deet does not repel WI or MN ticks at all.
Good hunting.

Probably will not be long before we'll be able to buy treated hunting clothes.

With App Acquisition, Facebook Enters Fitness Tracking Market
Facebook is leaping into the fitness tracking market by buying a Helsinki-based maker of a mobile app that can track users and automatically determine whether they're walking, running, biking or riding public transportation.
Facebook is announcing plans Thursday to acquire ProtoGeo Oy, maker of a mobile app called Moves. The app works in the background, quietly gathering loads of data from the phone's accelerometer, then displaying the results in a minimalistic fashion, with each activity represented by a colored circle.
The Moves app is an "incredible tool for the millions of people who want to better understand their daily fitness activity," Facebook said in a press release Thursday.
Facebook didn't disclose the price it is paying for the app maker, but a spokeswoman said it's nowhere near the size of other acquisitions the company has made in recent months. Earlier this year, Facebook agreed to acquire mobile messenger WhatsApp for $19 billion and Oculus VR for $2 billion.
Facebook said Moves, which launched last year and was called a "Surprise Hit" by Apple's App Store, has been downloaded more than four million times by iPhone and Android users and has millions of users, Facebook said.
Moves is one of a growing number of fitness apps like Strava, Runkeeper, Nike + and others, but Moves stands out because of the breadth of activities it can track and detect automatically, including riding on public transit. Moves can also connect to other apps to add features. A list of apps capable of connecting with Moves includes one called "Trail," another called "Logger – Graph Your Life," and one called "Log My Day."
Moves and other apps use sensors already built into most modern smart phones to mimic the capabilities of stand-alone wearable devices like Fitbit, Jawbone Up and a new product Apple is rumored to be developing.
Moves will continue to operate separately from Facebook, the spokeswoman said, but its employees, including founders Sampo Karjalainen, Aapo Kyrola and Zsolt Szasz will leave Helsinki and join Facebook offices in London and Menlo Park, Calif.
The acquisition is consistent with Facebook's strategy of building or acquiring multiple stand-alone apps. Moves is expected to join a growing family of Facebook's mobile properties, including Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and the recently launched news aggregator Paper.
During the fourth quarter earnings call with analysts Wednesday, Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg explained how the apps fit into the company's long term goal of connecting the world. They're "part of the full ecosystem of different ways that people want to share with different people," he said.
Facebook reported stronger than expected earnings Wednesday, posting a 72% increase in revenue and a near tripling of profits, compared to a year ago. Facebook rising stock price, which has nearly doubled in less than a year has given the company deep pockets to bet on companies it believes might be the next winners in the rapidly-changing internet ecosystem.
Apps like Moves could also benefit Facebook by helping it gather data. At the heart of Facebook's business model is its knowledge about users, which it uses to sell targeted advertisements. The Facebook spokeswoman said the company won't use any data from the Moves app, but that could change in the future.
Facebook also recently added a new, optional feature to its core mobile app that notifies users when they're near other friends. When users turn on the feature, Facebook can track their whereabouts even if they close the app. Facebook said it wouldn't immediately use the data gathered from the Nearby Friends feature for targeted advertising.
For now, Facebook says the Moves app will be used only to help users "take small steps toward more healthy habits and lifestyle," the company said in its press release. Facebook will also get the engineering talent of the team that created the app.
Correction: Aapo Kyrola is a founder of ProtoGeo. An earlier version of this article incorrectly spelled the name as Kryola. Also, the app's algorithm is awaiting two U.S. patents. The earlier version said it was protected by one U.S. patent.

Thread: Plant questions.
Plant questions.
So I have my ten gallon in which I've had java moss and two types of java ferns for awhile, and probably close to two weeks ago I added some bulbs from one of those aponogeton, water lilly, water onion multipacks you get at petco.
I gave the lily to someone else and I haven't seen any kind of growth from anything yet, can't really find any information on how long they should take to sprout.
I was wondering if anyone had any input, as well as any other plants that would would work well with 26 watts of CFL and no co2, although I am gonna start fertilizing here soon. Plan on getting a microsword plant tomorrow just wondering some other good easy to find species. You can see from my pic that I do have some fake plants in there so nothing that's gonna completely take over either. Tanks looking much better than in that picture.
healthy bulbs should show at least some signs of growth in two weeks. any longer
and they likely are dead. a sure confirmation is a white mold growing on the bulbs, otherwise take them out and smell them. I assume your substrate is not a specialized plant substrate. in that case you will definitely need to use fertilizer tablets in the substrate to ensre the plants will grow adequately.

Getting Started With New Media
Understanding Your Audiences
To reach your audience(s) using new media, you first need to understand who they are -- their age range, ethnicity, education levels, etc.. Are they health care providers, educators, individuals with HIV, and/or people looking for basic HIV information? Consider including a question or two on your intake form, email list subscription, or other sign-up form to find out more about your audience(s). You can also conduct focus groups and ask questions during usability testing and on feedback forms.
Once you have an understanding of your audience(s), it can be helpful to create personas, or profiles of the types of people likely to use your new media tool or service. Some factors to consider:
- Different people have varying levels of familiarity and comfort with technology.
- People may come to your site seeking general information. Or, they may be an individual with HIV seeking a particular resource, or looking for support. They may be a service provider looking for a tool they can adopt, a solution to a particular problem they face, or to connect with other providers.
- Returning or repeat users may have different needs, look for different information, and seek a different level of interaction or involvement than a first-time visitor.
Learning about your audiences is an ongoing process. Offer ways for users to provide feedback, contribute suggestions and share resources with others. Online feedback forms are an effective way to gather information. Finally, whenever you meet with members of your audiences, ask them if your new media tools serve their needs, and how you can make them better.
Defining Your Audiences' Needs
People access online information in different ways, at different times, and for different reasons. The best way to figure out your audience(s) needs is to ask them. You can ask them a few key questions such as:
- What are your primary HIV needs? (prevention, testing, treatment, care, other?)
- Tell us how our services help you? When do you turn to us?
- What does our organization/agency do well?
- What could our organization/agency do better or more of?
- How do you use different new media tools in your daily life?
- How could we use some of these tools to provide you with the HIV information you need?
The answers to these questions will help you understand how to define your audiences' needs. Then, you can explore how (or if) new media can help you meet those needs.
Here are some things to keep in mind when it comes to defining your audiences' needs:
Web Accessibility: People with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, and neurological disabilities may have trouble accessing, understanding, and using your site and information unless you make your site "accessible". For more information, see HHS' Section 508: Why Comply.
New vs. returning visitors: First time visitors may have different needs than returning or repeat visitors.
Attention is a precious resource: There is a lot of competition to get people's attention. You want your messages to be compelling, engaging, immediately useful, and trustworthy.
Use the tools: New media can help to obtain audience feedback – such as comments on a blog. Some tools offer online polls and surveys. You can also learn what your audiences are looking for by studying web analytics.
Change happens: Audiences change. Needs change. Technologies change. Make sure you provide ongoing opportunities to hear from your users.
Developing a New Media Plan
Once you know who your audiences are and what they need, you are ready to develop a new media plan. There are different approaches you might consider.
At AIDS.gov, we have found Forrester Research's POST Method (PDF 66 KB) to be a useful framework:
P = People. Who is your target audience? What tools are they using?
O = Objectives. Are you starting an application to listen to your customers, or to talk with them? To support them, or to energize your clients to share HIV prevention messages with others? Or are you trying to collaborate with them?
S = Strategy. What do you want to accomplish? Do you want to increase HIV testing rates? Increase HIV awareness?
T = Technology. This might be a podcast, wiki, social networking site, or a blog. Once you've defined your people/audiences, your objectives, and strategy, then you can choose the most appropriate technology.
Our Communication Strategy Internal Working Plan explains how we use POST to inform our communication efforts.
Mapping Out Your New Media Strategy
We've also used We Are Media's "Social Media Strategy Map" to think through core areas and questions such as:
- Target Audience: Who do you want to reach?
- Objective. What do you want to accomplish?
- Integration: How will your social media strategy support and enhance your existing online strategy (if you have one)?
- Culture Change: How will you get your organization to embrace your strategy?
- Capacity: Who will implement your strategy? Can you allocate a minimum of five hours per week to your strategy?
- Tools & Tactics: What tactics and tools best support your objectives and match your targeted audience? What tactics and tools do you have the capacity to implement?
- Measurement: What data points or metrics and qualitative data will you use to track your objectives? Do you have the systems and tools set up to track efficiently?
- Experiment: What can you implement first as a pilot?
While developing your new media strategy, there are several principles to keep in mind:
Create once, reuse often: technology allows us to reuse existing content in new ways. For example, you can summarize a conference presentation in a blog post, post it on your website, link to it your Facebook page make it available in an RSS feed, and reference it on Twitter. You can make it available as an audio podcast. Then upload the presentation to SlideShare and use it as the basis for a live webinar. And, of course, you can make it available in print form.
Appropriate technology: Let your audience determine the best tools - avoid letting new technology drive your activities.
User-centered design: See things from the point of view of your users. Creating user personas can be helpful. When designing your new services, take this one step further and create scenarios for how your personas might interact with your new services.
Iterative design: Develop your new media tools in small steps. Let users experiment and provide feedback. As social media strategist Beth Kanter recommends, "Strategize, then experiment. Learn, then reiterate. Listen, Learn, Adapt". Make sure you provide opportunities for users to give you feedback and suggestions.
Knowing if Your Strategy is Working
You understand your audiences and their needs, made a plan, and gotten it started. How do you know if it is working?
An important part of the process is defining clear measures of success. How you define"success" is unique to your organization, the particular project, and the specific tool used.
For some, success may be measured by increases in the number of appointments or medications remembered; for others, it may be an increase in community awareness about information such as sexual risk behavior and resources such as HIV testing centers.
If you're using new media for community-building and support - for example, a social network and support forum for individuals living with HIV and their families – success may be measured by how many people participate and contribute to the social network.
It is important to determine what you want to measure, and then measure consistently and continuously - and, as your new media services evolve, measure them again.
One of the best ways to evaluate your success is to ask your audiences. You can ask for comments on your blog, conduct online surveys, or issue invitations for focus groups on your Twitter feed. Use every opportunity of direct contact with members of your community to ask them:
- Do they use your new media tool?
- What does it do well?
- What could it do better?
You can add some or all of these questions to intake forms, newsletters, follow-up questionnaires, in print as well as online.
Tools such as Google Analytics can be useful to track who is using your website/new media tools and how often. Applying the appropriate new media tools and technologies, to address an organizational, service or community need, can be very empowering. In addition to providing feedback to improve the use of new media in response to HIV, this feedback can help keep projects on track.
Where can I learn more?
- Webcontent.gov has information related to "Knowing Your Audience & Doing Market Research" as well as links to resources
- The Pew Research Center features multiple projects exploring public attitudes and trends, including Pew Internet & American Life Project, the Pew Hispanic Center and the Social & Demographic Trends project, among others
- "eHealth Data Briefs" – Centers for Disease Control
- Gallup public opinion polls regarding health & healthcare issues

Freshmen from across the country and around the world are exploring issues of identity and belonging in the seminar "Growing Up Global: Novels and Memoirs About Transnational Childhoods."

Freshmen form bonds in seminars
Princeton's first-year students are learning about relationships and building their own through the Freshman Seminar Program.
Among the topics they are covering this fall are the links between the body and the brain, the influence of a global upbringing on issues of identity, the negotiation of differences within political movements and the ties between universities and the common good. They also are forging bonds with their classmates in an academic experience that students typically consider one of their best at Princeton.
Freshman seminars stress close interaction with faculty members in small-group settings, with an emphasis on inquiry that will set the course for the students' years at Princeton. Some 450 students are enrolled in 36 seminars this fall; another 41 seminars will be offered in the spring.
Each seminar is hosted by a residential college. Class discussions often continue in informal settings both on and off campus, through meals, guest lectures, field trips and other activities.
The Nov. 3 issue of the Princeton Weekly Bulletin includes stories on four of this fall's freshman seminars.
Featured Story
Finding a world of connections
Posted November 7, 2008; 04:35 p.m.
From the Nov. 3, 2008, Princeton Weekly Bulletin
"Where are you from?" is a question that many new Princeton students ask each other. It has particular import in the freshman seminar "Growing Up Global: Novels and Memoirs About Transnational Childhoods," in which 15 freshmen from across the country and around the world are homing in on issues of identity and belonging.
The seminar is being taught for the first time by Wendy Belcher, an assistant professor of comparative literature and African American studies, who has a deeply personal interest in the topic. The child of American and Canadian parents, Belcher grew up in Ethiopia and Ghana. The experience, which she wrote about in her memoir "Honey From the Lion: An African Journey," continues to inspire her teaching and writing.
"I arrived at college confused about my identity, sure I didn't really belong anywhere," Belcher said about her return to the United States as a teenager. "It was only over time that I became aware that there is some power, as [the writer] Pico Iyer puts it, in having 'a wardrobe of selves from which to choose.'"
Among the students in the seminar, Belcher said that nearly half are "global nomads" who have lived in more than one country. A larger number of students grew up in bilingual homes in the United States with at least one immigrant parent.
One of the students with a global background is Alya Forster, the daughter of an Egyptian mother and a British father who met at Princeton in the 1980s as graduate students. Forster was born and raised in Chicago, but she identifies strongly with her Egyptian heritage. She enrolled in the seminar to learn how other Princeton students address growing up among cultural difference.
"I thought it would give me a way to explore how other people in similar situations as myself have dealt with reconciling the differences between all of the cultures that they consider to be a part of them," said Forster. "I find myself straying more and more from any one culture, and I was interested to read about people who had the same situation, perhaps just for a sense of reassurance."
Certain that she herself would have benefited from such a seminar, Belcher said she wanted students to "have the chance to puzzle together over the contradictions of this condition of being unrooted and read the work of those gifted in describing the symptoms of estrangement."
Alicia Zeng, who was raised in Oregon and California and moved to Shanghai at age 12, said she chose the seminar because it foregrounds questions important to her own life.
"The themes we probe most deeply in the course, those of alienation and identity and discovery, are major currents in my own life," said Zeng. "I love how in the class we can all share our stories and know that we will actually be understood. I've learned a lot about myself in this class."
Kevin Kim, who is a South Korean born in Japan, and who later moved with his family to California and then to Indiana, said, "I've had a transnational childhood myself, but have never reflected upon it in an academic manner. The class has encouraged me to re-evaluate my identity and examine if being bilingual and bicultural means that I really have two distinct identities."
The students also are learning about different approaches to writing about the self, as well as studying how language can be used to examine identity. A key goal Belcher has for the class -- which is designated as the Agnew Family Freshman Seminar -- is to train the students to read critically and closely.
Barack Obama's memoir "Dreams of My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance," which recounts the president-elect's transnational upbringing, is one of the books on the reading list for the class.
One of the writers they are studying is President-elect Barack Obama, who recounts his transnational upbringing in his memoir "Dreams of My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance."
On a recent evening, students discussed the ways Obama had reconstructed the colonial identities of his Kenyan father and grandfather from studying some of their personal documents. These included college recommendation letters for his father, who went to Hawaii to study, and his grandfather's register book from the British colonial era, which catalogued his racial characteristics and classified him as a domestic servant.
A student observed that Obama, by gaining a better understanding of his Kenyan ancestors, began to "realize how much he too would have to invent himself" as he made his own future.
Other books on the reading list include Eva Hoffman's memoir "Lost in Translation: A Life in a New Language"; Susan Choi's novel "The Foreign Student"; Alice Kaplan's memoir "French Lessons"; and Linda Furiya's memoir "Bento Box in the Heartland: My Japanese Girlhood in Whitebread America." The class started with Iyer's article "Living in the Transit Lounge," from the essay collection "Unrooted Childhoods: Memoirs of Growing Up Global."
Using these texts as inspiration, each student is writing an individual creative narrative about "moving between cultures," which is then presented to the class.
Xiaolei Mou, who is from Wuxi, China, and who studied in Singapore for four years before coming to Princeton, said in preparing to write her creative narrative, "I am now thinking about my own story and how I can convey my reflections and feelings to readers using a foreign language."
Belcher said that the creative narrative presentations so far have led to her "favorite moments of the course," with essays that are both "moving" and "insightful" in terms of how the students address the "trauma, humor, possibility and terror" associated with identity and communicating across difference.
"As one of my students put it on the first day of class," said Belcher, "growing up global is 'wonderful but very difficult.'"
The seminar is led by Wendy Belcher (far right), an assistant professor of comparative literature and African American studies, who had an international upbringing herself.

Hass scores 45, No. 1 Stevens Point tops UW-L 91-72
LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) - UW-La Crosse earned one big win this week. They came close to making it two.
Behind Trevor Hass' school-record 45 points, No. 1 UW-Stevens Point (18-0, 9-0 WIAC) beat UW-La Crosse 91-72 (11-7, 5-4).
"We were competitive for a good chunk of that game so the final score I don't think is indicative of what the whole game was really like," said Eagles Head Coach Ken Koelbl. "Yeah, it's disappointing, but it's one game and we'll move on to the next."
Calahan Skogman scored 18 points for UW-L and Connor De Bruin added another 16, but the Eagles couldn't slow down Trevor Hass, who went 9-13 from beyond the arc.
"It's a tribute to my teammates," Hass said. "They help me get open and we work everyday and they have confidence in me and tonight was my night."
UW-L hosts UW-Oshkosh Wednesday night.

We arrived late in Perth and had trouble with our rental car so that we were not really happy that our phone call to tell about the delay was not answered by Kurt.
When we arrived at Kurt's place we first knocked on the wrong door only to find a young innocent couple whom we obviously stopped from making love. Still they explained what door to knock at, which was eventually successful when a younger Asian looking woman, who never explaned what relation she was to Kurt opened the door and showed us room 2 and pointed out to us where the (shared) bathroom and the kitchen was. We were too tired to ask why she assigned room 3 to us but it didn't matter anyways because the next morning we met the young woman who stayed in room 2 with her boyfriend in the bathroom. Unfortunately and embarasingly enough we found her naked as she had forgotten to put the brickstone (picturesquely wrapped into a green t-shirt) that Kurt had provided to keep the bathroom door shut as the lock was obviously broken.Still we remained on good terms with the couple, especially because there was nobody to listen to our complaints for they told us that Kurt was on holiday and that the woman we had met the night before was hardly available.
Sleeping is usually no problem for us but if you can feel every single spring in your mattress it will be kind of difficult even with jetlag to fall and stay asleep. Again there was no host to receive our complaints.
The bathroom and the kitchen did not really look tidy which was a surprise as the 25 house rules hanging almost everywhere suggested that untidy people were not entitled to use the bathroom, toilet or kitchen, even their bedrooms.
On our second evening some magic hand must have tidied what could be tidied, though though the shower was still stained and the water in the sink stayed for ages.
Before we could get ready to leave we made the aquaintance of the successors to our room who did not hesitate to inspect their future habitat before we had packed (at 9 a.m). They seem to be keen on rooming in as they thought it would be a real upgrade to the room they had had at Kurt's mother who was having a similar apartment house.They seemed to be so familiar with the circumstances that that readily accepted our keys as there was nobody at Kurt's home anyways.(The Asian looking lady was taking the dog for a walk (?)).
Eventually we were glad not to have met Kurt - it might have been a disaster.

Senate passes mining bill
Assembly expected to take bill up next week
MADISON, Wis. - The state Senate has approved a Republican bill that would dramatically overhaul Wisconsin's mining regulations.
The measure is designed to ease the regulatory path for Gogebic Taconite's plans for a huge iron mine in the Penokee Hills just south of Lake Superior.
The GOP contends the mine would create hundreds of jobs. Minority Democrats counter the bill would relax environmental protections and open the door to pollution that would devastate the pristine region.
The Republican-controlled Senate approved the bill 17-16 Wednesday after nearly nine hours of debate.
Democrats said they are disappointed but not shocked that the bill passed because they knew early on they didn't have the votes to stop it.
Republicans defended their bill and the process used to pass it all day as well as afterward to reporters.
"It was deliberative. We've been here for two years debating this issue. The product that you see at the end here, the amended SB 1, really reflects the values of the state of Wisconsin. I mean, there were significant changes made in this bill from when it first came out," said Sen. Tom Tiffany, R-Hazelhurst.
Republican Sen. Dale Schultz joined with Democrats to vote against the bill.
All other Republicans voted for the bill. Together they had enough votes to stop all 19 proposed amendments as opponents offered them up.
Democrats said this may be yet another example of Republican legislation that ends up in a lawsuit.
"So I think over the next couple years, people are going to be wondering what happened to these thousands of jobs dangled in front of them by Republicans because it's almost certain to end up the courts. And that's the fault of Republicans not working through it when they had the time to do that," said Senate Minority Leader Chris Larson.
Northern Wisconsin tribes have indicated they may sue over the issue.Senate passes mining bill
Democrats also asked why there were no assurances that a mining company hire Wisconsinites, not out-of-state people, to work a future mine
The state Assembly is expected to take the bill up next week. Republicans control that house as well. Approval there would send the measure on to Gov. Scott Walker for his signature.

HSUS is thrilled with the Vilsak appointment and not so much about Salazar.
Therefore it seems to me that the greater threat on the horizon will be to various aspects of dog ownership and trials/tests, not hunting.
But I am projecting. Nothing is clear right now.
My prediction remains that our greatest threat is against our use of live birds for training and testing. I think the Vilsak appointment validates that prediction. I think this is the only area where we are in serious trouble with these two nominations.
I see no reason to worry about hunting right now. But land use is always a worry when Democrats, the party of preservation (as opposed to conservation) environmentalism, are in charge.

If you are implying that my moving of this thread to POTUS place is some sort of censorship, I find that unfortunate.
To all of you... This past election season has been a real hassle for me. There have been many who have gotten ugly and personal on RTF over their partisan views.
Here's how Kevin's post starts off:Kevin, I find it a bummer that you chose to tell me "think, use your head."President-elect Barack Obama announced two more Cabinet appointments today
I am thinking, and I am using my head, I assure you. Kevin, how about you do a search and look at the majority of content you've posted on RTF over the past couple months. Now tell me what I am supposed to expect when I see a thread start off this way:Although they probably don't read this board, I've had folks PM me indicating that they are appreciative of my moving Kevin's post here. As one PM sender put it, "Kevin's post is partisan in nature and the subsequent responses are likely to be as well."President-elect Barack Obama announced two more Cabinet appointments today
Know what folks...I'm hitting the sack and in the morning my dogs are going to fetch some geese from a little field hunt... And I'm happily putting some Carmex on my chapped lips, having watched Bus and Ruff hunt together on a cold December Lake Shelbyville duck hunt this afternoon. Mmmm...goose on a stick.
Sincerely, the mean censor who doesn't use his head...

The election is over. The debate over who should be president is over. We are now talking about protecting our rights and privileges -- to breed dogs, participate in field trials and hunt tests, and hunt. That is a kind of partisanship that should unite the members of this board, not divide us.What did you want me to do Chris? Those are the words of HSUS, not Kevin! You want me to change what HSUS wrote just so it will be more palatable to those more sensitive types?Here's how Kevin's post starts off:
"Oh my gawd, the post mentions Obama in the first sentence, better move it, even though the post is not about Obama." You can't keep moving every post just because it mentions Barack Hussein Obama! He is the new President, end of story.And now you have had several members tell you it was wrong to move it here.Although they probably don't read this board, I've had folks PM me indicating that they are appreciative of my moving Kevin's post here.Here is your typical "politically sensitive" type. You can't let this type of person dictate the policies, you need to cut a swath down the middle. The post is NOT politically partisan!!! There is nothing against Obama! There is nothing for Obama! It is a post about what HSUS thinks about the incoming Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture!As one PM sender put it, "Kevin's post is partisan in nature and the subsequent responses are likely to be as well."
These are not matter for debate. They are facts. They are information. They aid in our judgement and tell us how to act.
Could a member reply with a rhetorical jab at Obama? Of course, the fire over the election still stings a little. But that would be off-topic if it occurred. Think about it, why would it be off-topic? Because the original post was not politically partisan!
I don't know how I can make it any plainer than that.

Kevin- you are out of line. The man that pays the bills here took the time to explain why and how come (definitely not required). What could it matter where the post gets put? Shut up and appreciate the fact that you have an opportunity to express your (and ours) concerns. Chris puts up with a LOT more than most folks would. You are a guest in his house and need to conduct yourself accordingly.

Meanwhile back at the ranch.......
I like the show and have been DVRing it. I am sure it will help get some hunters off the couch and train their dogs a little more. The training tips are good, the goose calling during the hunts... not so much.
I have been a student of Dan's for many years now. Both of my goldens and myself for that matter are featured in his tv show, teaching videos etc... he has helped me become a much better trainer and handler. Even his videos are focused on the hunting dog, it all translates into the competition. I have enjoyed Dan for many years and am looking forward to hunting with him in the near future. Good investment.
I was about to start a thread on Dan and found this one, I have set my dvr this past spring to record his show, I have 63 of them on there lots of the same ones.
As stated above his show seems very true to life and not staged, I know this because it is basically boring and not much emphasis put into production, while it may not be Aesthetically pleasing it is very straight forward and easy to follow.
Having only had one lab and training it myself with really almost no research at the time, I have been looking at a lot of info here and anywhere I can find it since I am in the market for a pup right now. I am not interested in Hunt tests or trialing, my dog will hunt and hunt often and I find a lot of the discussion on here hard to follow and get lost in the terminology used here since I am not familiar with the training world. So for me it is nice to see very simple solutions to common problems with actual dogs having those issue's.
I have seen several of his shows on the sportman's channel. Never met him, but he seems to know dogs.
Do you have to order the dvds online? Or does he sell them locally here in spokane?

I have a bunch of these episodes saved on my dvr as well....waiting for some time to watch them.

Whether you are choosing momentary or continuous mode, you are picking, with TT Pro series collars (Flyway included) a RANGE with your dial setting. Then you have instantaneous capability to go up and down the range with immediate choices, that take away the need to lose time or focus by having to turn a knob.
I am NOT touching my ear or zapping myself today. But just for the heck of it, I'm using my Pro 500 and listening to the sound at the prongs.
A 4 high continuous is a pretty loud, higher pitched, rapidly pulsing sound that is easy to hear. A 5 low is a much lower pitched clackety sounding slower pulse. It makes sense just to the sound that a 4 high is going to stimulate the dog much more than a 5 low.
Try it - no pain or test lights needed. P.S. Don't touch your ear to the contacts!

3.58: Dangers and Uses of Radiation
You may have seen this sign before—maybe in a hospital. The sign means there is danger of radiation in the area. Radiation consists of particles and energy that are given off by radioactive isotopes, which have unstable nuclei. But you don't have to go to a hospital to be exposed to radiation. There is radiation in the world all around you.
Radiation in the Environment
A low level of radiation occurs naturally in the environment. This is called background radiation. One source of background radiation is rocks, which may contain small amounts of radioactive elements such as uranium. Another source is cosmic rays. These are charged particles that arrive on Earth from outer space. Background radiation is generally considered to be safe for living things. You can learn more about background radiation with the animation at this URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/dirtybomb/sources.html
Dangers of Radiation
Long-term or high-dose exposure to radiation can harm both living and nonliving things. Radiation knocks electrons out of atoms and changes them to ions. It also breaks bonds in DNA and other compounds in living things. One source of radiation that is especially dangerous to people is radon. Radon is a radioactive gas that forms in rocks underground. It can seep into basements and get trapped inside buildings. Then it may build up and become harmful to people who breathe it. Long-term exposure to radon can cause lung cancer.
Exposure to higher levels of radiation can be very dangerous, even if the exposure is short-term. A single large dose of radiation can burn the skin and cause radiation sickness. Symptoms of this illness include extreme fatigue, destruction of blood cells, and loss of hair. To learn more about the harmful health effects of radiation, go to this URL: http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7359819n
Nonliving things can also be damaged by radiation. For example, high levels of radiation can weaken metals by removing electrons. This is a problem in nuclear power plants and space vehicles because they are exposed to very high levels of radiation.
Q: Can you tell when you are being exposed to radiation? For example, can you sense radon in the air?
A: Radiation can't be detected with the senses. This adds to its danger. However, there are other ways to detect it.
Detecting Radiation
You generally can't see, smell, taste, hear, or feel radiation. Fortunately, there are devices such as Geiger counters that can detect radiation. A Geiger counter, like the one pictured in the Figure below, contains atoms of a gas that is ionized if it encounters radiation. When this happens, the gas atoms change to ions that can carry an electric current. The current causes the Geiger counter to click. The faster the clicks occur, the higher the level of radiation. You can see a video about the Geiger counter and how it was invented at the URL below. http://vimeo.com/10379389
Using Radiation
Despite its dangers, radioactivity has several uses. For example, it can be used to determine the ages of ancient rocks and fossils. It can also be used as a source of power to generate electricity. Radioactivity can even be used to diagnose and treat diseases, including cancer. Cancer cells grow rapidly and take up a lot of glucose for energy. Glucose containing radioactive elements can be given to patients. Cancer cells take up more of the glucose than normal cells do and give off radiation. The radiation can be detected with special machines like the one in the Figure below. The radiation may also kill cancer cells. You can learn more about medical uses of radiation at this URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_8xM-mLxJ8
This machine scans a patient's body and detects radiation.
- A low level of radiation occurs naturally in the environment. This background radiation is generally assumed to be safe for living things.
- Long-term or high-dose exposure to radiation can harm living things and damage nonliving materials such as metals.
- One reason radiation is dangerous is that it generally can't be detected with the senses. It can be detected only with devices such as Geiger counters.
- Radiation has several important uses, including diagnosing and treating cancer.
- radiation: Energy emitted by the nucleus of a radioisotope or an accelerating particle; transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves that can travel across space as well as through matter.
Watch the video about uses of radiation at the following URL, and then answer the questions below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdbzShLU30w
- Alpha radiation is used in smoke alarms. Explain how a smoke alarm uses this form of radiation.
- Identify a use of beta radiation, and explain how it works.
- List three uses of gamma radiation, and describe one of them in detail.

Delicious dinner packets are perfect patio or picnic pleasers!
Foil packets should be opened very carefully, keeping the opening pointed away from you. Very hot steam collects inside the packets during cooking and could result in burns.
Use whatever fresh herbs you have on hand. Basil, parsley or thyme would all be delicious with the salmon.
Soaking the rice in broth before grilling the packets ensures the rice will be done at the same time as the salmon.

CAN Events CalendarCategory: C.A.N. Events Calendar
Date: Friday, March 30, 2012 - 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM
Posted: 07 Mar 2012 07:35 AM PST
The ACC community is invited to attend a forum on higher education at St. Edward's University on Friday, March 30 (11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.). Co-hosted by the Center for Ethics and Leadership and the New College at St. Edward's, the event will explore this question: "Can Higher Education Help Solve our Toughest Problems?" This free, public forum will test a new issue guide being produced by the National Issues Forum (NIF) while bringing together students, individuals from the business sector, nonprofits, government, education and civic groups. They will explore the role higher education plays in helping respond to current economic struggles, growing gaps in society, loss of community and ability to work together.
Vicki Totten, associate professor of Counseling in New College, and Jack Green Musselman, director of the Center for Ethics and Leadership, will lead the university's involvement with NIF, a network of practitioners who promote public deliberation.
This event is being designed and convened by undergraduate, New College, and graduate students at St. Edward's who will learn how to plan and manage a community forum, understand the process of framing an issue for deliberation, and convene and moderate discussions. The dialogue will focus on how to increase the civic capacity of college students so they play a part in solving society's problems.
The forum will utilize an issue discussion guide created by NIF. The discussion guide is framed in a way that is authentic to people's experience with the issue, reflects alternatives that help people move out of deeply entrenched positions, encourages participants to talk through the gray aspects of the issue to find new ways of moving forward together, and is rooted in what people hold deeply valuable.
The forum will begin with a short panel presentation where local leaders will discuss the material highlighted in the NIF discussion guide. Panelists include:
- Lisa Fielder, executive director and co-founder of College Forward
- Sherri Greenberg, interim director of the Center for Politics and Governance at the University of Texas LBJ School of Public Affairs
- Daniel Guerrero, mayor of San Marcos and St. Edward's MSOLE alumnus
- Vanessa Sarria, executive director at CAN
The catalyst for the forum is a year-long national initiative entitled "For Democracy's Future: Education Reclaims Our Civic Mission" which was launched in January 2012 by the White House Office of Public Engagement, American Commonwealth Project, Association of American Colleges and Universities and Department of Education. This initiative will examine the role higher education can play in deepening the civic identity of educational institutions in ways which more fully engage democratic communities.
This will be a unique opportunity for community members from different backgrounds to come together and contribute their thoughts and ideas on this important topic. It will also be a great opportunity to connect with local leaders, students and community members who are concerned with the role of higher education in communities.
The following St. Edward's University students and recent alumni are planning the event: Sonya Apodaca MAHS; Christina Ceballos MSOLE; Diana Ford MLA; Raul Garza MLA, Laura Kelly, New College, Business Administration; Michael Kersey MSOLE; Cristina Lopez, Political Science; Marcus Nash MSOLE; and Robert Null, Political Science.
Lunch will be provided, so please register
in advance. Registration information, including the registration form and
a campus map, can be found at the Center
for Ethics and Leadership web page.

DUBAI, U.A.E., 1st July 2012: Emirates, one of the world's fastest-growing international airlines, today ensured its 10th year of operating in Japan will be one to remember as its flagship Airbus A380 touched down in Tokyo, marking the introduction of the aircraft to its daily non-stop service to Dubai. EK318 was welcomed by a water canon salute to celebrate Tokyo Narita International becoming the 19th airport on Emirates' global network of 123 destinations to be served by the most comfortable and environmentally advanced commercial aircraft in the skies.
The Emirates A380 service will provide a 38% increase in capacity, equivalent to an additional 135 seats on every flight to Dubai, while all passengers will be able to enjoy Japanese cuisine, movies, music, newspapers and magazines, as well as on-board Wi-Fi. For those travelling in both premium cabins, the spacious on-board lounge is a highlight, while passengers in First Class have the added luxury of being able to freshen up in the shower spa. And, with at least six Japanese cabin crew on every flight, every passenger is guaranteed a warm welcome.
"Many Japanese travellers already know what a great aircraft the Airbus A380 is, but the Emirates A380 is a different proposition," said Richard Jewsbury, Emirates' Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations Far East & Australasia. "We have redefined air travel with amazing features such as an on-board lounge and shower spa and, as the only A380 operator in the market to offer passengers these services, the Emirates A380 truly is an unrivalled flying experience. Combine this with ice, our award-winning inflight entertainment system which includes 40 Japanese channels, world-class service and gourmet cuisine, all tailored to Japanese passengers, as well as a network spanning six continents, and you have a product which I am sure will be extremely popular," added Mr Jewsbury.
With a three-class configuration of 399 seats in Economy Class, 76 fully flat-bed, mini-pods in Business Class and 14 First Class private suites, the growing demand for the premium cabins on the route can be met and almost 3500 Japanese passengers a week will have the opportunity to fly on the A380 and connect - via one seamless stop - to 31 destinations in Europe, 22 in Africa, 16 in the Middle East and 11 in North and South America.
Emirates - with 21 A380s in its 175-strong fleet, as well as an additional 69 on order - is the largest A380 operator in the world, enabling passengers from Tokyo to continue on the aircraft to London, Sydney, Auckland, Bangkok, Toronto, Paris, Seoul, Jeddah, Beijing, Manchester, Hong Kong, New York, Shanghai, Munich, Rome and Johannesburg, as well as Amsterdam from August and Melbourne from October.
"It is with great pride that we are strengthening our commitment to Japan in the same year as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of operations," continued Mr Jewsbury. "Although travel and trade was severely impacted by the Great East Japan Earthquake, Emirates believed in Japan's ability to recover quickly and while other operators scaled back services, we kept faith in our growth strategy and increased the frequency of our Narita-Dubai flights. Now, with the addition of our A380, Japan can look forward to trade and tourism being further stimulated between destinations across our network.
"The aviation authorities of Japan and the UAE recently met and agreed on a liberal framework that will permit Emirates to progressively add services to Japan. We are very grateful that the Japanese Government has recognised our commitment. We also value the longstanding partnership that we have with Japan Airlines. We have a code share agreement with JAL on both our Osaka and Tokyo services and look forward to building on this."
Narita International Airport is also looking forward to building closer links with the Middle East. "As a representative of Narita International Airport, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Emirates Airline for choosing the Narita route among the numerous destinations within its international network to introduce the Airbus A380, the latest and largest aircraft in the world," said Mr Makoto Natsume, President & CEO of Narita International Airport Corporation. "I'm expecting that the Emirates A380 on the Narita-Dubai route will be the bridge between the Middle East and Japan and further promote interactions between the regions. We intend to strive to make our airport greater to welcome more customers."

Looking for a home for Wholey's electric fish
Water location top choice in pollJanuary 12, 2014 11:41 PM
What better place to put a fish than in the water.
That appears to be the sentiment of many Pittsburghers, at least when it comes to the smiling fish that has been the emblem of Wholey's Fish Market in the Strip District for nearly 25 years.
In one form or another, they want the fish in or near the water -- whether it's mounted on a barge or a boat or dangling from one of the city's many bridges, perhaps as a variation to the giant rubber duck that visited Pittsburgh last fall.
Nearly three weeks into a campaign to find a new home for the much-loved sign, Jim Wholey, president of Robert Wholey & Co., said a water or near-water location probably has been the top vote-getter so far.
"You'd be surprised how many people suggested it, whether it be on a boat or the 16th Street Bridge," he said. "If a duck is that important to Pittsburgh, think what a smiling fish could do."
Should a water location end up with the most votes, Mr. Wholey said he would definitely explore putting the sign there, even if only as a temporary home. He said he found the idea refreshing.
"I did not think of that. I thought it was really clever," he said.
Not that Mr. Wholey has had to fish for ideas. So far, the campaign Wholey's and Mayor Bill Peduto launched Dec. 23 has generated about 1,000 responses, more than organizers anticipated.
Other popular venues for the smiling fish include the Heinz History Center and Mount Washington.
For more than two decades, the fish has occupied one side of a former cold storage warehouse the company used for years.
It is being relocated because the new owners of the building are planning to convert it into a 144-unit apartment complex. Wholey's Fish Market will not be affected.
Mr. Wholey said some voters have suggested that the fish stay where it is, an idea he did not dismiss out of hand. "We're working on it. We're trying to work with the developers," he said.
Wholey's owners have vowed to follow the location that garners the most votes from the public. The sign must stay within city limits, and the property owner must give permission. Mr. Peduto has vowed to help with the zoning.
The sign, erected as a Christmas gift in 1989, holds $16,000 worth of eco-friendly LED bulbs and measures 100 feet wide by 60 feet high.
Mr. Wholey said he has been touched by the outpouring of nominations and sentiments for the sign, including those from people who say they know they are home when the see it.
"I'm overwhelmed. It shows how devoted our customers are, how devoted people are to local businesses. Pittsburghers are very loyal, not only to the Pirates and the Steelers, but to their local food supplier," he said.
The voting runs until Jan. 31. To vote, drop a nomination in one of the red boxes at Wholey's; "like" Wholey's on Facebook or follow the company on Twitter @wholeys and post a nomination using the hashtag #smilingfish and share your favorite memory of the sign; or email a nomination to email@example.com.
A winner is expected to be announced at a news conference Feb. 1.
Of the nominations received so far, one person suggested that the fish be incorporated into an arch welcoming visitors into the Strip District, similar to an archway created for the Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego. A sampling of other nominations included these ideas:
• "How about in the river just beyond the stadium so it can smile each time a Pirate hits one into the river."
• "I nominate a barge as a secure final resting place for the Wholey fish sign -- since a fish belongs in water!"
• "I would like to see the sign flying high above the store on its own, stand-alone structure. I would donate to pay for the new sign structure -- after all of the GREAT fish that I have eaten that you provided it is only fit that a REAL monument be built."
• "Can he live with the ketchup bottle over at Heinz History Center? Or do you think they'd make cocktail sauce and eat him?"

Just wondering if anyone else is a fan of that show I just can't get enough of.
Now that the first season has concluded I can say that no tv show has ever had a hold on me like this. The acting and writing are spectacular with each episode blowing me away.
I guess I just love how original this show is. Most shows present things in black & white -- here is the good guy you cheer for and this is the bad guy you root against. Nip/Tuck seemed to start that way with Dylan Walsh as the good guy surgeon and Julian McMahon as the bad guy, but as the stories developed, you see that Walsh's Dr McNamara isn't all that good and McMahon's Dr Troy has a lot of reasons for the bad things he does. In other words there is no black & white, it is all GRAY! The marital problems, work problems, and so on are all played off so brilliantly in such a way that you don't know if you should root for the character or be glad that they got what they deserved.
I think this follow's in FX's line of ground-breaking shows such as the ill-fated but great Son of the Beach and the award winning The Shield. IMO Nip/Tuck surpasses what was done with The Shield and deserves some Emmy's.
Anyone else have their 2 cents about the show?

text: I am in the market for a neoprene vest for my 8.5mo YLM and need to buy one ASAP before my two week trip back home to NoDak. I have been looking at multiple brands (Banded, Avery, Cabelas, etc.) and can't decide which one to pick up. I was leaning towards the Banded 5mm neoprene but was reading some bad reviews on how it fits most dogs. I was also partially leaning towards the ASD boaters parka, but I don't do a lot of hunting over water so not sure if this is still a good option or not. Which ones have you guys used and liked over the years?

Alternative Title: merchandising
Marketing, the sum of activities involved in directing the flow of goods and services from producers to consumers.
Marketing's principal function is to promote and facilitate exchange. Through marketing, individuals and groups obtain what they need and want by exchanging products and services with other parties. Such a process can occur only when there are at least two parties, each of whom has something to offer. In addition, exchange cannot occur unless the parties are able to communicate about and to deliver what they offer. Marketing is not a coercive process: all parties must be free to accept or reject ... (100 of 16,202 words)

3.9: Metric Length Comparison
Have you ever had to compare metric units of length? Have you ever been confused by metrics?
Julie is really enjoying working at the ice cream stand. She loves talking with the people and the ice cream snacks are definitely a benefit. However, she is very confused about the size of the ice cream cones. Mr. Harris, the stand owner, used to be a math teacher so he loves to have fun with the customers. Because of this, the stand serves cones in different measurement units. It is famous for its mathematical ice cream cones. This has been very frustrating for Julie. Yesterday, a customer wanted to know whether a Kiddie Cone 1 was smaller or larger than a Kiddie Cone 2. One is in centimeters and one is in millimeters.
Kiddie cone 1 = 80 mm
Kiddie cone 2 = 6 cm
Julie needs to understand these measurements so that she can compare them. Then she will be able to give an answer to the customer.
Pay attention and you will be able to help Julie with this dilemma at the end of the Concept.
In an earlier Concept, you learned how to convert metric lengths. You learned that there are 10 millimeters in one centimeter and that you can change millimeters to centimeters by dividing. You also learned that we can change centimeters to millimeters by multiplying.
We can call these measurements equivalents.
The word equivalent means equal. When we know which measurement is equal to another measurement, then we can tell what is equal to what.
Here is a measurement chart of equivalents.
Let's say that we wanted to compare two different units to figure out which is greater and which is less. We could use the chart to help us.
5 cm ______ 70 mm
How can we successfully compare these two values?
The first thing that we need to do is to convert the measurements so that the unit of measurement is the same.
Here we have cm and mm. We need to have either all mm or all cm. It doesn't matter which one we choose as long as it is the same unit. Let's use cm.
Our answer is 7 cm.
Let's rewrite the problem.
5 cm ______ 7 cm
Use greater than >, less than < or equal to = to compare the measurements.
5 cm < 7 cm
So 5 cm < 70 mm
Take a minute to write down a few notes on these steps.
Here is another one.
7000 m ______ 8 km
Here we have two different units of measurement. We have meters and kilometers. Our first step is to convert both to the same unit. Let's convert to meters this time.
Now we can compare.
7000 m < 8000 m
Our answer is 7000 m < 8 km.
Now let's practice. Convert and compare each pair of measurements.
Example A
7 m ______ 7000 mm
Solution: =
Example B
3 km ______ 3300 m
Solution: <
Example C
1000 mm ______ 20 cm
Solution: >
Do you know how to help Julie? Here is the original problem once again.
Let's look at the first customer's question.
The first customer is comparing Kiddie Cone 1 with Kiddie Cone 2. Let's look at the measurements for each of these cones.
Kiddie Cone 1 = 80 mm
Kiddie Cone 2 = 6 cm
We need to convert the units both to millimeters or both to centimeters. Let's use cm. We go from a smaller unit to a larger unit so we divide. There are 10 mm in 1 centimeters therefore we divide by 10.
Kiddie Cone 1 = 8 cm
Kiddie Cone 2 = 6 cm
8 > 6
Kiddie Cone 1 is greater than Kiddie Cone 2.
Here are the vocabulary words that are used in this Concept.
- Equivalent
- means equal
- Comparing
- using greater than, less than or equal to so that we can compare numbers
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
Which is greater 12 meters or 1000 millimeters?
To figure this out, we first have to think about equivalent metric units.
There are 1000 millimeters in 1 meter, so 12 meters is definitely greater than 1000 millimeters.
This is our answer.
Video Review
Here is a video for review.
James Sousa: Metric Unit Conversion
Directions: Compare metric lengths using <, >, or =
1. 6 cm ______ 60 mm
2. 8 cm ______ 90 mm
3. 10 mm ______ 4 cm
4. 40 mm ______ 6 cm
5. 5 km ______ 4000 m
6. 7 km ______ 7500 m
7. 11 m ______ 1200 cm
8. 9 km ______ 9000 m
9. 100 mm ______ 750 cm
10. 18 km ______ 1500 m
11. 1000 m ______ 19 km
12. 10 m ______ 100 cm
13. .25 m _______ 1 km
14. 6 km ______ 6000 m
15. 7 km ______ 8000 m
