Area artist Kreitz helps Camp Knutson fundraising
You don't have to travel far to see the unique work of Breezy Point artist Jeff Kreitz. Camp Knutson, located on the Whitefish Chain of Lakes, is a great example, showcasing Kreitz's work over the past decade.
As he has done in past years, Kreitz also donates a piece of his one-of-a-kind artwork to Camp Knutson for auction at the Night Under the Stars event, scheduled for July 20. This year's piece is a maquette of a larger sculpture done for the cardiovascular wing at St. Joseph's Medical Center in Brainerd.
Like everyone who has ever visited Camp Knutson, Kreitz was immediately taken in by the campers who visit throughout the summer. Kreitz says you can't be working on the grounds during a camp session and not just stop and admire these kids.
Camp Knutson serves children with severe skin disorders, Down syndrome, heart disease or autism.
Much of his work is done from what the artist sees around him, and Kreitz said, "Camp Knutson campers provide the heart and soul of each piece I envision for this camp. They are my inspiration. They touch my heart."
Kreitz began metal sculpting at age 7, literally at the knee of his father, metal sculptor and entrepreneur Lloyd Kreitz. His mother, Eva Kreitz Clow, is also an artist, using oil paints to create her works on canvas.
Jeff's artistic talent took him toward metal as his medium expressing his unique abilities. A little college, coupled with welding school, and a whole lot of hard work brought him to his successful artist's studio in Breezy Point. He and his wife, Julie, have raised their two children here and his oldest child, daughter Jessica, plans to pursue a degree in industrial arts at the University of Wisconsin-Stout this fall.
Son Jeff, a high school student, also shows interest in the arts.
The older Kreitz said, "I have been richly blessed and it is just a natural extension of my time and God-given talent to support Camp Knutson and the lakes area."
A chance to view his work at Camp Knutson and to place a bid on his donated artwork is available Saturday, July 20, at the Night Under the Stars gala on the camp grounds.
For ticket availability, contact Sharon at 218-692-1142. Inquire about tickets for both the silent auction and wine bar or for the entire evening events.
This is the 60th anniversary for Camp Knutson and the community is invited to celebrate this evening for a Night Under the Stars.

Montego Bay in 2 days
The exclusive Mahoe Bay, in the north of Jamaica, lies just a few kilometers away from Montego Bay. Its idyllic location makes it the perfect place not only to relax on its beaches by crystal clear seas, but also to discover some of the region's highlights, and enjoy the wide range of activities and sports available and the excellent golf courses in the area.
Here, we give you some ideas you might enjoy during your stay at the Hotel Riu Montego Bay or Hotel Riu Palace Jamaica.
Day 1
In order to get into the Jamaican atmosphere, you could start your day by visiting the Sam Sharpe Memorial, in the main square of Montego Bay, with a statue of this 19th-century leader of the slave rebellion. Take a stroll around the square and you will also see The Cage, a former lock-up for slaves; and walk from the square towards the seafront and you will have the opportunity to wander round the local craft market. If you have time, do not miss the Bob Marley Experience and Theater, a center dedicated to this musician, a true national hero in Jamaica, where you can find out everything about his life and about reggae.
In the afternoon, experience the island's natural environment. If you are looking for something romantic and relaxing, go to Martha Brae River and enjoy the amazing experience of lying on a bamboo raft and drifting down the river; if it's hot, don't forget your bathing suit and your guide will be happy to show you the places where you can go swimming. If you body needs something more exciting, you can go to the Montego Bay marina and hire the equipment you need to go diving in these crystalline Caribbean waters. If you have never tried diving or snorkeling, you can get an instructor to go with you and help you explore the sea plants and animals in the area. If going underwater is just not for you, but you fancy seeing coral reefs, shipwrecks and exotic fish, there are glass-hulled boats in which you can sit down and relax while you admire the underwater marvels here.
To finish you day, your RIU Hotel in Montego Bay offers all the flavors and rhythms of Jamaica with an impressive variety of dishes and a great evening entertainment program.
Day 2
On your second day in Montego Bay, you can take a tour that will give you a closer look at Jamaican culture and traditions. There are many options you can choose from, depending on your interests and tastes.
However, since you are in Jamaica, your first choice should be a visit to the Rastafarian Indigenous Village, where you can learn about this community's music and food, as well as their spectacular jumps into the sea and the boats they use to go fishing. On the way, there is a lovely walk through the forest that leads you to your destination.
If you love a mystery, don't miss the Rose Hall Great House, an impressive relic of colonial times that presided over a vast plantation. The place is noted for the legend of a white witch from the 18th century who once practiced voodoo.
Another suggestion, this time for animal lovers, is a visit to the Rocklands Bird Sanctuary, just a half-hour drive by car or bus. This place is home to over 200 bird species, many with striking colors. You will be able to feed some of them with your own hands.
Our last suggestion is for those who would like to find out about one of the country's main economic resources: fruit plantations. The Croydon Plantation welcomes visitors and shows them how pineapples go from the tree to the table, and how each part of this fruit is used. On your way to the plantation you will spot a number of villages where you can observe the local way of life, away from those areas more frequented by tourists.
In the evening, we recommend one of the most beautiful sights that nature can offer by night: the Glistening Waters, a stunning lagoon home to a rare phosphorescent microbe that, when moved, creates a unique display of light. So, when these organisms are disturbed by the movement of boats, fish or your own body (if you decide to go swimming here), the water glows. This phenomenon is said to occur only in four places in the world, and Jamaica's is considered to be the finest.

If you're in the market for an offensive meme that involves Tom Hanks and a '90s movie that plays every 75 days on TV, you've come to the right place. That's right, it's time to meet offensive Forrest Gump. He's just like regular Forrest Gump, except incredibly more offensive. Or maybe just incredibly more insightful, it's truly hard to tell when it comes to this guy.
I personally hate Forrest Gump because every time the movie plays on TV, everyone starts texting me things like, "we go to together like peas and carrots," simply because my name is Jenni. It wasn't funny the first time, it wasn't funny the second time and it wasn't funnier when the voicemail that accompanied it said, "JIN-AY!"
So that just makes me like the meme all that much more.

In the starwars.com announcement on the cardbacks (as seen in the other thread), it says:
Does this mean there will be an actual launch date, like there was for the prequel stuff? It seems like an arbitrary day if there wouldn't be one. I hope there is an "official" launch, I absolutely loved the ones for the prequels.Look for the new Clone Wars packaging designs to hit store shelves on July 26.

Family: Parulidae, Wood Warblers view all from this family
Description Stunning and keenly-sought southwestern specialty, whose range overlaps that of Painted Redstart. Among wood-warblers, unmistakable in all plumages on account of the red face. Feeds mainly on insects, caught by gleaning and flycatching. Sexes are separable.
Dimensions Length: 5 1/4" (13 cm)
Habitat Song is a sprightly, whistled wi'si'wi, wi'si'wi, wi'si'weeoo; call is a sharp tchuk.
Observation Tips Locally common summer visitor (mainly May-Aug) to montane pine, fir, maple, and oak forest canyons. Winters in Central America.
Range Rocky Mountains, Texas, Southwest
Voice ADULT MALE Has a gray back, with contrasting white rump (seen in flight). Wings are gray with a white wing bar (on median coverts) and darker flight feathers; tail is uniformly dark gray. Head is colorful and predominantly red, but with bonnetlike dark patch from crown to ear coverts, and white nape patch. Underparts are whitish. ADULT FEMALE Similar, but color on face is less intense. IMMATURE Similar to adult female, but back has a buffy wash.
Similar Species Fairly easy to find in some southern Arizona canyons; usually found at higher elevations (7,000-9,000 ft) than Painted Redstart.
Discussion L 5.25-5.5 in

The various reasons have been listed in posts prior to this one. I think you may be hyper-concerned about the potential aggression issues of mbuna. Secondly, if given the choice, mbuna males are going to desire to build their own beds in the substrate as far under rocks as they can get. Just an FYI.
Managing their aggression has more to do with selecting the right combination of fish AND the right male to female ratios for those species. For most of the species, 1M/4F is what is typically recommended. For more aggressive species (Melanochromis, Tropeops, Psuedo sp/elongatus types, etc) require a higher ratio of females to single male. Demasoni as an example are the most extreme with 1M to 12+F.
The other factor is tank length and EIGHT FEET goes a LONG way to increasing the margin of error relative to aggression.
As to your questions:
Thank you very much.. I am proud of it.Nice. Your tank is beautiful and very natural looking. You have a TON of fish in your tank.
Do any of your fish fight?
They quarrel, yes but nothing severe.
I figured having more hiding places would be a good thing so I wanted a backdrop that would provide me with enough hiding places for the fish and would allow me to have minimum things to remove when cleaning the gravel and for them to dig under. I also wanted to set up the tank so that it would encourage breeding. I hope that after its all in, painted it won't look extremely ugly. LOL
The PVC pipes will not promote breeding of mbuna as much as rocks/gravel & balanced community of fish. Their native environment is a rocky shore line. "Mbuna" means "rock dwelling" I never remove my rocks to vacuum the gravel.. The rocks are sitting on the glass with the sand surrounding them. I basically vacuum what I can get to. Do I get it all, all the time? No. But you don't have to every time either.
What kind of paint should I use? A black spray paint? Would it be toxic?
Yes, black spray paint. I prefer flat & you are painting the BACK of the tank, not inside. Not toxic.
How is your tank maintenance?
Keeping a tank pristine is a labor of love. It is a weekly routine, along with the water changes. you can make the process easier somewhat but IME it is just something that has to be done regardless of the fish you keep.
I was thinking of doing a sump. Recommendations?
Are you committed to drilling the tank? I wouldn't do a sump unless you are. I can't recommend hang over the back drain boxes. I have had them & can't stand them. Personally, I wouldn't have a tank that large WITHOUT a sump but that is just me.
There are pages in the 180 build thread I attached that goes in detail of drilling the tank & building the sump, the plumbing, electrical - everything.
That is a SUPER tank you have & I would really like to assist you through this forum. That thing done properly could be really, really cool.

Miller could be special if he didn't play "Just Dance" in the backfield every time.
Miller could be special if he didn't play "Just Dance" in the backfield every time.
I really like Richardson but he is not Adrian Peterson and with what we have in the backfield currently thats what it would take to draft a RB so high. Too many other needs to go after him.
Millers pass block ability will be a huge liability in the NFL. Guy is a beast but should of stayed another year.
Went to my highschool, Killian Senior High represent!
Played ball will Stephen Tulloch.
"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
I am a Canes fan and I think Miller is the real deal..but if you want a guy that can carry the load for you and maybe even carry your team Richardson is your guy..He is an every down back day one...and he has upside. Bama handcuffed him as far as weight lifting went because they were afraid his spotters would get hurt..Miller is more of a break away threat via speed but Richardson is a guy that can do what Miller can with vision. Defenses dont wanna tackle him. I actually dont see durability as an issue. Players get hurt but this guy is in prime condition. He is a bull. I know Mike Shannhan does not take backs high in drafts( No history of) but if he is there and no qb is there how can you not take him? He would be a monster in that system.
We don't exactly need a RB (I wasn't impressed with Thomas this season), but if he was there and there was no QB to be had in the 1st, then he's the guy. I doubt Reggie stays healthy next season anyway.
Big fan of the U, love the Canes but the only thing Miller has over Richardson is speed. He can't create a hole, he can't move the pile and he has bad shoulders. He left early IMO because his shoulders aren't going to let him have a very long career so he better get the money while he can. There is so much of Miller's game that he needs to work on still too. Pass blocking, pass receiving, continuing to drive his legs after contact, getting his pad level down when he approaches the hole, squaring up to the LOS when he runs through the hole...a lot to work on. But, as I mentioned, because of his shoulders I fully understand why he left early.
i disagree, richardson is on adrian petersons level, miller is more on arian foster level, big difference. Put it this way, if richardson drops to us, we'd be crazy to pass on a phenom like that, even with reggie having a great year.
I don't want a running back in the first round period. The first running back off the board last year was at #28 to the Saints. Granted Richardson is a better talent than Ingram, but I don't think a running back's value is what it used to be. I think you can find quality depth in FA or in the later rounds.

Please Note: For an accurate appraisal of your instrument's value or history, I must advise you to take it to a local luthier or string shop for an evaluation. It's really not possible to do this with any accuracy via email.
However, I am happy to answer other questions about violins, bows, violin playing, and violin/bow repair. I can also talk with you about what bows, rosin, strings, cases, shoulder rests, etc. might work best for you and your particular instrument. (There are some great new products on the market.) I've taught violin and fiddle playing for the past 18 years and will answer questions about playing and technique.
I've been studying the violin for over thirty years. I started teaching in 1996. In addition to my training at Lebanon Valley College and at the Violin Institute, I handle violins, bows, and customer questions of all sorts on a daily basis in my shop - J.S. Fisher Violins, www.fisherviolins.com.
I hold a Bachelor of Music degree from Lebanon Valley College, as well as certificates in violin repair, violin maintenance, and bow rehairing from the Violin Institute at the University of New Hampshire.

The 4th round of funding for IDF's BRIDGES [2] (Bringing Research in Diabetes to Global Environments and Systems) programme came to a close on February 15.
Dedicated to short term projects worth up to USD 65.000 and covering a maximum of two years, the round saw an over 200% increase in applicants from last year's 3rd round.
"The increase in applications shows how critical translational research is for communities all over the world" said Professor Linda Siminerio, Chair of BRIDGES Executive Committee, "the chance to learn from one another in an effort to counteract the diabetes epidemic and improve the everyday lives of people with diabetes is priceless".
Applications came from all seven IDF regions. The top three applicant countries are India, China and the USA.
Each application will now be independently reviewed by a group of international experts and the final selection announced at the end of March.
Now supporting 29 projects in 24 countries, BRIDGES is an IDF programme supported by an educational grant from Lilly Diabetes. The programme funds translational research projects in primary and secondary prevention of diabetes to provide the opportunity to 'translate' lessons learned from clinical research to those who can benefit most: people affected by diabetes.
For more information on BRIDGES projects, check out the BRIDGES Activity Report [3].

If your going to Barcelona, this is best place to stay. Ramon is very friendly and helpfull. He gave as a map and a lot of tips how to visit Barcelona. At the end he even gave as a ride to the airport by his own car. The apartment is very clean and you will find there everything you'll need including food for breakfest, coffe maker or dishwasher. Great location. Few minuts walk to La Rambla, about 20 minuts walk to the beach, near bus stops and subway station. I cant wait to be back :)
Our stay in this apartment was amazing. The room was nice, comfortable and clean. Xavier's cousin - Ramon - was very helpful and sympathetic. We do recomend this place and wish we had stayed longer :) see you soon Barcelona!
The stay with Xavier/Ramon was a wonderful time for us. The rooms were very clean and the host was very helpful and agreable. We will come back as soon as possible.Anne und Heiner

Seems like I can't get through a News broadcast without hearing the word "Libertarian".
Will they takeover the GOP?
I seriouly doubt so as most of the challengers are only partially Libertarian. Yet, still a far cry from 4 years ago when one never heard or read the word Libertarian.
Rand Paul said a while back that the GOP needed to adopt some Libertarian ideals. Why not all of them?
Looks like Lindsey Graham is about done.
There are nine so-called Libertarians running for governorships, zero four years ago. And, too many to name running for House and Senate seats not to mention the dozens running for State seats.
I attend quarterly meetings in Baton Rouge. Mostly young, I see educated whites, blacks and Asians who all share the desire for limited government and maximum freedom. Two goals not offered by the Dems and Repubs.

Accommodation summary
thank you for your interest in my living, I glad that you stopped by at my listing.
This private room is very near the city center, cozy, bright and fully furnished.
The room is facing the courtyard overlooking the garden, is spacious with possibility to accommodate four guests. The linen are provided. There is high speed internet connection in the flat with WiFi. My place/room has got a private access and is one part of the flat (it meens has the own balcony, kitchen, batroom and toilet).
For accommodated I have prepared maps and points of interest from Prague, also I am sending prepared g map where you can find in Prague interesting places, bars, city views, where advantageous to change money, etc.
The city center is well accessible by bus, tram (it takes 10 mins) or by walk across the Vitkov park. Tram and bus stop is located 2 min. from the apartment. The night city transport from the city center goes every 15 minutes directly to my place. Opposite to the apartment is situated the cafe with quality coffee, close is located the most famous restaurant with tanked Pilsner Urquell beer. There is patisserie, bakery, supermarket close by. The location is very safe.
Prague is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Still reasonably cheap and safe to travel. No matter if you are going just for a short break or for longer - there's so much to see and do. There's something magic about that city. We don't know if it is Franz Kafka who's attracting many Jewish to see Old Synagogue. We don't know if it is view from famous cafe Slavia over river and castle where former president used to go. Definitelly Prague has got a GENIUS LOCI...
House rulesPlease, contact me and check availability before booking.
Home rules:
1/ leave the flat as clean as it was before your arrival. I am not charging you cleaning fee. If you decide to not clean the flat at all, please leave 10EUR for the cleaning lady and I will add another 5EUR (I am giving this job to old ladies or single mothers only to get better their financial situation).

Reviews for this host's other properties
The apartment is situated about 20 min out of the city center and 15 min away from the main train station. I enjoyed the time in Prag and in the apartment.
You will find everything you need inside the apartment and even if your group is a little bit larger, there is still enough room.
Next time I'll choose the same apartment again and I hope you will enjoy the stay as I did.
Top location! Very central! ...and a beautiful apartment in a very nice building with a great view! Thanks a lot, Jakub!
The room was very clean and comfortable. Jacub is vey supportive and Zdenka is very nice and polite. I really enjoyed staying there!
We Were 20 Minutes Late and no one was there to give us the Keys and jakub wasnt reachable via Phone so we had to wait in a Bar.. By accident we found out he left the Keys in the bar where we were drinking/waiting.. So Be in Time! ;) the flat was Fine..
We enjoyed our stay There. It was very clean and comfortable and calm. It is the peferct place if you want to explore prague. If you are many people just keep tab on the warm water otherwise some have to take a cold shower.
Jakub has a great appartment. it is very clean, and comfortable. Nearby are trams which take you everywhere in the city. Jakub is very kind, and answers very quick if you have a question. We have had a great stay!
Perfect communication by the host. Great price-performance ratio.
Very comfortable and pretty good located apartment. I recommend. Jack
Fantastic apartment in an excellent non-touristy neighbourhood in Prague. The apartment is warm and fully equipped with everything you need. There are lots of nice places to eat and drink in the surrounding streets. Just 10 minutes from the bus station. The city centre is just 15 minutes on foot away.
Very nice apartment and host!! Clean,convenient and good location (20 min walking from the old town square or 10min by tram)

Are Some Popular Photo Sharing Sites Taking a Byte Out of Your Image Quality?
Tags: Flickr, JPEG, PBase, Photography, SmugMug
Generally when saving in JPEG, the user can control how much the algorithm "shaves" off, varying from high detail and larger file size, to low detail and smaller file size. When a file size is heavily constrained, artifacts may result, which are visible defects in the image, due to the aggressive compression by the algorithm to reach the target file size.
Some photo hosting sites online will re-compress your image after you upload it. Sometimes changes may be unnoticeable, but minute details in images can be compromised when JPEGs are re-compressed. Personally, I first noticed when uploading photos onto Flickr. I usually check over my submissions once they finish uploading, and noticed one of my images contained JPEG artifacts. Unaware of Flickr's JPEG re-compression, I was baffled. I went back and checked the original edits, and none of them had any of the same defects as the one on my page on Flickr. I then checked the file sizes of each image, comparing the online image to my original edit, stored on my computer. The image on Flickr was the same resolution, but its file size was significantly smaller.
It appears pBase does not alter photos at all. SmugMug only compresses files if they are over 24 megabytes in size.
Raw file size is an easy way to test if your image was altered after upload. If file size is different between an uploaded image and its result on a site, that usually means it was re-compressed. To check, find the size of the image with image properties, or image info, depending on your web browser.
Some sites may explicitly state that they do not alter images after uploading, but when that information is not available, a file size test should be done.
Have you noticed the phenomenon on any other sites? Tell us about it in the comments below.

text: On Nov. 5, Garland voters will have the opportunity to vote "yes" or "no" for a referendum that would increase the property tax rate by 2 cents, with those funds being used exclusively for street refurbishments. The impact of the 2 cent increase for a home valued at $100,000 would be $1.53 a month ($18.40 a year). For seniors, the increase would amount to 68 cents a month ($8.20 a year). The City maintains a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for each street and alley segment in the city. Garland's current average PCI is 89 for streets and 83 for alleys. The funds collected from the 2 cent increase would be used exclusively for street and alley improvements. Garland voters will be able to voice their wishes on how to address this need on the Nov. 5 ballot. Early voting will run from Oct. 21-Nov.1 at the Richland College Garland Campus, 520 N. Glenbrook Drive. For more voting information, including Election Day polling locations, visit www.DallasCountyVotes.org or contact the Garland City Secretary's Office at 972-205-2404. More City of Garland election information is available on the City Secretary's page.

Ophthalmic Oncologist
Chief, Ophthalmic Oncology Service, Department of Surgery
Conditions Treated:
About Me
I am a board-certified ophthalmologist with specialty training in opthalmic oncology. I am Chief of the Ophthalmic Oncology Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the only service of its kind dedicated to ophthalmic oncology in a cancer hospital in the US. Because of our close association with specialists in pediatrics, radiation oncology, and medicine, we are able to offer coordinated, state-of-the-art care with access to novel therapies and clinical trials not available anywhere else in the country.
Ophthalmic oncologists are ophthalmologists who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer on the surface of the eye, in the eye, and in the tissues around the eye (the lids and orbit). I have a joint appointment in Surgery, Pediatrics, and Radiation Oncology.
I have had extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers in and around the eye. These cancers are all rare and are usually diagnosed without biopsy, so experience is very important in arriving at the correct diagnosis every time. To help make a diagnosis we use the latest in diagnostic digital imaging and ultrasound, including standardized A and B scan, in addition to high frequency anterior segment ultrasound ("ultrasonic biomicroscopy," or UBM), OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), digital imaging and needle biopsy when indicated.
The most common cancer we see is melanoma in the eye, also known as ocular melanoma. We offer the most sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic option for these cancers, including brachytherapy (radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor) with radioactive iodine and ruthenium. Our medical physicists and brachytherapy team are internationally respected for their expertise in delivering individually designed treatment for each patient. In collaboration with Memorial Sloan Kettering's melanoma team, we are now offering a Phase II trial for the first targeted molecule in the treatment of melanoma of the eye (uveal melanoma) that has spread, or metastasized, to another part of the body.
Our retinoblastoma center, with records that go back to 1914, is the longest continually operating center of its kind in the world, with the longest follow-up of the largest number of patients. We have a newly-constructed examination suite dedicated to caring for children with retinoblastoma, which has all the modern equipment used to diagnose and treat retinoblastoma.
I have introduced many new treatments for retinoblastoma that have been adopted by other cancer hospitals worldwide. These treatments include the novel use of chemotherapy delivered around the eye to prevent systemic toxicity of intravenous medication; and in 2006, the use of high concentration — but low dose — chemotherapy delivered directly into the eye via a catheter placed in the groin, administered on an outpatient basis. Our studies on the long-term complications in this disease have been published extensively in the Journal of the American Medical Association as well as ophthalmic and oncology journals.
I have published more than 400 books, chapters, original articles, scientific reviews, audiotapes, and videotapes, and I was the editor of the American Academy's instruction book on ophthalmic oncology. I have delivered more than 400 lectures worldwide, including in France, Italy, Switzerland, Israel, China, Hong Kong, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, and Argentina.
Among the many honors I have received are awards from the Swiss Ophthalmological Society, The Association for Research in Vision, the Helen Keller Society, and the New York State Ophthalmological Society. I have received many teaching awards, and I have received the Honor Award, the Senior Honor Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Question: Is a large female considered a bad trait for showing. Both the sire and the dam were very short and stocky but the pup turned out to be a moose. She has beautiful color and markings and a wonderfully shaped head and jaw, she is just large. She weighs 68 lbs at nine months, but is still built like the average bully just a little taller and longer.
A: If you are talking about showing her, I would advise you not too. She is way over the standard of 'about' 40 pds. This is exceptionnally large for a bitch. She sounds beautiful and probably is going to make the nicest pet in the world.
QUESTION: I have only shown Bulldogs for a couple of years now. I have a question that has been on my mind for a long time. My first bulldog was a male I was very proud of the fact that i took him to his CKC title. When he was a mature his weight came in at about 49 to 50 pounds! We did have the pleasure of going up
against the number one bulldog in Canada at the time Good time Charlie! even thought at one point we could beat him ( Rookies..lol) But his weight was twice what the CKC standards calls for?
Being very new to the sport i was afraid of asking the owner about the weight of her dog! Can you tell me why we see so many bulldogs over the CKC standard for weight?? I myself prefer the
CKC standard in the weights.
A: You are correct, the standard does call for a 'mature' dog to weigh, 'about' 50 pds and bitches
'about' 40 pounds. Like many standards, the Bulldog Standard was written many years ago back
when the present day Bulldog hardly resembles the one in it was initially created. The breed has changed
in many ways over the years, and even in my relatively short time in the breed (35 years) I have
noticed significant changes in the breed.
The most dramatic change is the general size of the breed. Without actually weighing a dog we have to be careful before making assumptions as to the weight of a competitor's Bulldog. However, I think we can all tell the difference between a 50 pd male and a 70 pd male. I have seen both in the ring, but would say from my experience judgingthat the average weight in the breed (males) is a little over
60 pds.
Now the question is what did the standard mean by 'about' 50 pds. This is subject to interpretation and thus provides us with an argument of philosophy of the weight in the breed.
To answer your questions: " Why do we see so many bulldogs over the CKC standard?". I believe that the natural evolution of the breed has just produced a larger Bulldog, but most of all, I think the show aspect of the breed has also greatly influenced the size. I think if anyone were honest they would admit that a 50 pd male could finish it's championship in either country (U.S. or Canada), that this same bulldog will be at a great disadvantage in the ring especially if specialed. The fact is that most judges seem to go with the larger dogs. It is only natural that if your dog is 10-15 pds over the standard, that it will also have more substance & more bone. To the eyes of the judge (speaking mostly for all rounders now), they are looking for a massive dog, and it is unlikely that the 50 pd bulldog, although correct, can compete in this aspect with the larger dog.
At the Nationals in Florida last year, I did see a beautiful to the standard bitch in the classes. I felt she was good enough to compete for the winners ribbon. She was gorgeous. In the 3 days I saw her place in her class consistently, and when I commented to the exhibitor that she was small, the lady told me that she was 38 pds and knew it would be tough to finish her, but that she was confident that she would. There are enough judges out there that will recognize the smaller to the standard Bulldog.
Unfortunately, to compete with a 50 pd special I think you would have two strikes against you before you started. I for one would never hold it against a bulldog to be 'about' 50 pds and I would hope no other judges would either, but that is in a perfect world, and the fact is many judges would hold the size against the dog.
As a fairly new spectator to dog shows, I am confused about how they work. I was told that conformation means comparing each dog with the established bulldog standard. In several days of shows there was a dog that placed high one day, lower the next, and the next, with a larger number in the ring, didn't place at all. Lets say this dog represents 95% of the standard. The first day he got
an A, the second day a B, then after that a C. This looks to me like dogs are compared to each other, which results in "grading on a curve". That individual dog remained 95% of the standard all
week, but the competition caused his placement to change each day.If we really are comparing each dog with the standard, wouldn't we have some shows with several winners in each category, and other
shows with no top winners?
A: That is the beauty of different opinions, subjective judging. Of course no two judges are likely to grade a Bulldog with the exact same marks. Each judge puts emphasis on different points, that being, movement, head, top line, balance etc. This is human nature and can't be avoided thank goodness. This is also what makes dog shows so much fun. It's the difference of opinion that gives several dogs a chance to win instead of the same dog winning all the time... ...
Do you often see what is a near a perfect Bulldog by standard comparison?
A: I have never seen a perfect Bulldog, but the drawing of the one in the standard is pretty darn close and that is what I keep in my mind when doing comparisons. We all hope and strive to get the perfect bulldog, but I think we all know that even we achieved this in our mind, what are the chances others would agree? Not too likely.
Do you think that Canada is successful internationally with their bulldogs? Do you see a lot of export
to other countries that have made a real impact?
A: I think if more Canadians competed in the U.S. they probably would achieve relative success, but there don't seem to be many that want to show in both countries. I personally always felt that if you thought your bully was that good in Canada, that you should show in the states as well. That is where the real competition is and that is where the proving ground is.
What age do you feel is perfect in life for showing a fully matured dog at his prime.
A: Personally, I feel the dog is in prime show shape between 2-4 depending how quickly they mature. Here I am talking about specialing a dog. When going against specials competition I don't think one can afford to give any advantage away, like showing a puppy for example that still needs maturing. Showing in the classes is a different story. If the dog is maturing quickly, the sooner the better get him/her out there, but remember when you show a puppy, you probably are going to have to get by a mature dog in the open class.
So make sure if your dog is young that he is really good so you can still compete, otherwise wait till he grows up and show him after he is over a year.

Kaitlyn Barney is used to asthma by now. "I was diagnosed when I was 8 years old," said the Guntown resident, now 10. "I was playing on the soccer field and all of a sudden I couldn't breath and I was gasping for air."
Her mom, Janice Maxey, rushed Kaitlyn to the emergency room. "They put her in the hospital and kept her for four or five days," she recalled, also noting that Kaitlyn previously had been treated for frequent upper respiratory infections.
But when she learned her daughter actually had asthma, "I was shocked," Maxey said. "It was allergies that caused her asthma. It turns out she's allergic to pretty much everything outdoors."
According to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's Web site, www.nhlbi.nih.gov, asthma is a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. Asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing (a whistling sound when you breathe), chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing that often occurs at night or early in the morning.
"We can't cure asthma, but we can certainly make it better," said Dr. James Tutor, a pediatric pulmonologist at Le Bonheur Children's Medical Center in Memphis. Once a month, through a partnership with North Mississippi Medical Center, he travels to Tupelo to see patients at the Le Bonheur Pediatric Specialty Clinics on Council Circle.
Asthma has waxing and waning periods, Tutor said, and greatly impairs a lot of people's abilities to perform activities.
"Some kids miss school a lot because of asthma attacks," he said. "Some end up in the hospital. You can die of asthma."
Asthma medication falls into two categories, controller and rescue.
"The best controller medications are steroids, and we prefer to give them inhaled," Tutor said. Another controller is a leukotriene inhibitor, such as Singulair, which Tutor said is not as effective as steroids.
Quick-acting bronchodilators, according to kidshealth.org, are usually given through an inhaler or a nebulizer and are the most often-prescribed rescue medications.
Why kids get asthma is up for debate, Tutor said.
"I think you are born with a tendency to develop asthma," he said. "It's just like why do you get arthritis? Well, you do."
Irritants to asthmatics include cigarette smoke, perfume or other strong smells.
"The worst thing that parents can do is to smoke around them," Tutor said, adding that smoke residue on clothing is just as bad because when "they smell it, it's just like smoking in front of them."
For children like Kaitlyn, her asthma is brought on by allergens such as pollen and animal dander.
"Not everyone is set off by the same thing," Tutor said. "You don't have to have allergies to be asthmatic, and you don't have to be asthmatic to be allergic."
To prevent asthma attacks such as the one she had on the soccer field, Kaitlyn gives herself allergy shots twice a week.
"It's a combination of all the things that she's allergic to," Maxey said. "If she didn't take these and take Singulair on a daily basis, she'd have more attacks."
"They keep me under control," said Kaitlyn, a fifth-grader at Saltillo Elementary School.
To learn more about her condition, last summer she attended a special camp for kids with asthma.
"She loved it," her mom said. "They make them feel like their disease is OK."
This year, Camp Breath Ezzzze will be May 25-28 at Tishomingo State Park for kids ages 6-12. The camp features activities such as line dancing, swimming, horseback riding and an obstacle course, with classes on asthma education and 24-hour care from a physician, registered nurses and respiratory therapists.
"I had fun," said Kaitlyn, who's looking forward to going back. "When you have asthma, you don't have to be shut up in a house. You can go outside and play."

Just a question to liven up the afternoon.
Just a question to liven up the afternoon.
"You can train your dog any way ya want. It ain't my dog. "
Own a dog, no problem
Competing one he/she owns wouldn't thrill most clients
I figured if the dog had a hole on the truck - then it was being trained and trialed.
This does not apply to generiatic or cab-mutts.
"You can train your dog any way ya want. It ain't my dog. "
What I'm trying to say is that if the dog is going through basics and transition, then sold at a fairly early age clients should have nothing to say.
If the dog is competing every weekend against client dogs, I don't think that's kosher.
If the pro has his own dog on his own truck and he trains and trials the dog, if that dog only competes in Opens and never in Ams, how many points does that dog have to have to almost become an FC.
Quote = "Maybe the "nice and helpful" don't know enough to know the original poster is an idiot." Achiro_Jan. 09
I don't own a dog. I'm a cat person. I'm only here for the GDG!

NO. Not in FTs. A pro could certainly have an outcome on the effect of his dogs. Not that a pro would do it, but it has the look of impropriety about it.
Has nothing to do with impropiety.
Just a statement of job function.
When you pay a pro - esp pay him a handling fee - you are really paying him to win with your dog.
If he wins with his own dog - he simply is not doing his job.
I.E. His job is not just to win - his job is to win with his client's dog.
"You can train your dog any way ya want. It ain't my dog. "
How a pro runs his business is his business. The market place will always settle this issue.
If I place my dog on ?X? pros truck and he?s beating me with his dog on weekends how do you think it?ll take me to pull my dog and say, ?Adios.?
Richard Cheatham @ RedStar
"All sloppy and no Joe." Bobby Hill 2005
That's the point. If I am paying the Pro to win with my dog, if he runs his own and it wins, would the pro want to put himself in the position of the owner saying, you had your dog win on purpose... why would a pro even want to put himself in that position? Obviously, he is being paid by every client on the truck to win with their dog.
He he he - did not take long to get things rolling!
"You can train your dog any way ya want. It ain't my dog. "

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
A year ago at Ole Miss, spring football concluded with defensive coordinator Dave Wommack telling us he felt he had five or six players who could play in the SEC.
Not five or six All-SEC players.
This year, the buzz word around spring football was "depth."
Hugh Freeze and his staff know who their starters are at most positions. There may be a player who works his way into a larger role – safety Chief Brown perhaps – but with 19 starters returning the competition was less about jobs, more about finding quality reserves.
That's the fringe benefit of so much inexperience and so many question marks in spring 2012.
Freeze had good reason to talk about "the wilderness" then. He was about the start the season with a junior college transfer at quarterback – and even that wasn't set, because Bo Wallace had not distanced himself from Barry Brunetti.
Come the season opener, Wallace was the starter but with an asterisk. By season's end he was the Conerly Trophy winner.
Wallace is not about to be unseated as the starter. While he missed spring with a shoulder on the mend depth played out behind him with Brunetti and Maikhail Miller.
Freeze will have an interesting decision ahead regarding freshman quarterbacks Ryan Buchanan and Devante Kincade.
He says he wants them to compete. If one or both of them come in and do something extraordinary then the team as a whole benefits.
If they take the newcomers' more traveled route, Freeze could redshirt both.
Maybe Kincade, the more mobile freshman, is so much faster than Brunetti and Miller that he becomes a true Wildcat option.
If Wallace were to go down early to injury, maybe Buchanan's pocket skills make him the best choice to step in.
Brunetti brings a lot of savvy to the position, Miller strength and mass that is hard to tackle, a ball-handler who is also a powerful runner.
I'm not sure how well either would hold up long-term in the passing game. Brunetti completed 63.9 percent last year, but that was on 36 attempts.
He left the spring hopeful of a conversation with Freeze about how he might be used. He wants to get on the field and can be an asset. Maybe his role changes, maybe not.
What has changed is depth under center. Brunetti has experience, Miller potential.
An Ole Miss offense without Bo Wallace would look very different.
It could also be successful.

Back to the topic of the thread....what a GREAT idea THIS turned out to be...
NADA asks U.S. to suspend clunkers program
Funding has run out, dealer group survey shows
I can't cut and paste the article due to copyright restrictions (you're welcome, Chris!), but look for this to break tomorrow....and with only about 15% of the money having been sent to dealers so far, look for this to cripple or kill several car dealers over the next few weeks.
And we haven't even MENTIONED the fact that the government had ZERO concern for the fact that most manufacturers had their plants on shutdown or summer slowdown, which will cause inventories to run WEEKS behind in replenishment....government involvement in the private sector...just what we need MORE of....
