In contrast to the SW stuff, I'm drooling so much over the Transformers and Joes that I've had to drink six gallons of water in the last five minutes to keep from dehydrating.

That's my jacket!
I'm bouncing off the walls over a Bumblebee figure. A freakin' Bumblebee. I NEVER expected that, in a million years, they'd make a figure based off the character as the Autobot Commander in the IDW comics.
That's my jacket!
I'm disappointed by ToyFair And I saw nothing from Star Wars that I plan to buy in 2013
I really have to say - this year's show is very disheartening. Hasbro confirmed to other sites that there will be no more animated Clone Wars figures, ever, and word on the street (though unconfirmed) is that the last waves of The Clone Wars and maybe even the Movie Heroes figures will not be released in the US. Granted, they weren't the most exciting assortments ever, but it's frustrating that these will be unnecessarily difficult to track down. Still, this means no Bo-Katan, no Pre Vizsla mark 2, no Pong Krell, no ARC Trooper Fives, no Rako Hardeen, no bounty hunter Ventress, no spider-Maul, no nothing, and that really just sucks.
Otherwise, there was some cool stuff in there. Bigg's X-wing is a logical choice since the figure is coming and we already have Red Leader and Red Two's ships. The repainted Slave I and TIE Interceptor look good, and it'll be nice to finally have the gunship packed with its turrets (though it will probably be crazy expensive). It's odd that Amazon is getting a few items, and I can foresee that there will be many issues getting these things in mint packaging.
Those two Vader four-packs are snoozeville, unless maybe you missed out on the TVC Darth Sidious figure (which is inaccurate to the scene).
The Saga Legends are very odd. We knew there was going to be a low-price, low-articulation line, presumably in the vein of the 2012 battle packs, but they could have at least put them in moderately interesting poses. They could be good for sitting in vehicles, and maybe some good sculpts will work their way into the line. The bubble design with the lava-looking bumps is actually kinda cool - but the bubble probably shouldn't be the most interesting thing about the figure.
Mission Series, as a concept, is pretty cool. The Jango figure looks pretty good for what it is. I'm surprised they're going back to that battle droid sculpt again what with the superior version they just made for the Class I line. The R2/3PO and Rex/droid pairings are odd, especially since some of them are animated style. The Vader with seeker droid set - despite the droid having weirdly large appendages - ain't bad. What's a little sad is that the seeker droid is the absolutely only never-before-made 3 3/4" item in the entire Toy Fair presentation.
We didn't really need another version of Anakin and Obi-Wan's ROTS starfighters, but there they are.
From The Black Series, we're still not hearing anything about:
*TIE Fighter Pilot (Backstabber)
*Sandtrooper (black pauldron)
*Battle Droid (Geonosis)
*Geonosian Warrior
*Clone Trooper (212th Attack Battalion)
*TC-70 - Build-A-Droid
*FA-4 Pilot Droid - Build-A-Droid
*Mace Windu (The Clone Wars)
*Captain Rex
*A-wing Pilot
*R8-B7 - Build-A-Droid
*R5-X2 - Build-A-Droid
The listings are saying "stormtrooper" though we haven't yet seen images so it's unclear if it's the sandtrooper. Hopefully the droids will turn up somewhere, but most of those other figures I could take or leave anyway so it's no great tragedy. The packaging is hovering somewhere between "classy" and "boring" . . . I'll have to see production samples to judge it better.
I totally called the Kmart Imperial Scanning Crew set back at CVI, and I knew it. The Ewok catapult sounds pretty awesome too.
And dang it if all four of those 6" figures don't look downright amazing . . .
Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!

I know I have said articulation can be over rated but holy crap! The POTF2 figures at least had waist movement.
The 6" figures look great but I don't see a whole lot of people collecting every character all over again in this scale and price range. Cherry picking at best.
Any price point on the Tie Interceptor and Slave-1 yet?
That's my jacket!
At CVI, I asked Derryl about the possibility of dollar store SW figures and he said that wasn't something Lucasfilm wanted to pursue. They also look similar to the already-confirmed Iron Man 3 and Ultimate Spider-Man lines, so they're definitely a mass-market release.
Honestly . . . aside for the scout trooper, there are zero figures in the small scale black line I like. And I'm only wanting the scout trooper because the one that came with my speeder bike is defective (Neck ball joint is kinda welded so that it doesn't work properly). But, I think I'm probably about done collecting the smaller scailed figures. Going to sell two shelves worth of stuff and be done. Now the 6 inch figures? Luke, R2, and the storm trooper are all deffinet buys for me the moment I find them regardless of protest from my other half. They're just everything I could ever want in those figures and then some. My only gripe with them, is that on R2 the little ...holo projector light? on the top of his head is at a 90 degree straight up angle. I dont think I've ever seen has bro do it at a different angle or, even better, make it a small ball jointed part. Even still, very very easy buy for me. Way too cool not to. 3PO will be a must have for sure if they release him.

Incident Response vs. Incident Handling
A good overview of the difference between handling and responding to an incident and the skills needed for each.
One of the things that comes ups frequently in discussion is the difference between incident response, and incident handling.
That is the difference between Incident Response, and Incident Handling. Incident Response is all of the technical components required in order to analyze and contain an incident. Incident Handling is the logistics, communications, coordination, and planning functions needed in order to resolve an incident in a calm and efficient manner. Yes, there are people who can fulfill either role, but typically not at the same time. The worse things get, the greater the requirement for the two different roles becomes.

The Danish capital is blossoming. As brave new architecture springs up in the midst of its timeless cityscape and some of the oldest forgotten neighbourhoods evolve into trendy areas, where new eateries and cool bars appear to pop up overnight.
Copenhagen may boast a 1000 year old history but there is certainly nothing dated about the Danish capital. At a glance you'll see that it's a mix of historic buildings and modern architecture. But when you dig deeper you'll discover cutting-edge fashion, design, gastronomy and green living push the boundaries. Be enchanted by its romantic fairy tale castles and palaces, amazed by the treasures of 100 year old Tivoli amusement park and charmed by the ambiance of picturesque Nyhavn. Sociable and alive with activity, Copenhagen boasts a myriad of shopping streets, bustling canals lined with restaurants, cafes and bars and charming outdoor spaces that are just waiting to be enjoyed and explored.

Your tour starts by coach, first passing the Tivoli Gardens, New Carlsberg Glyptotek art museum, the magnificent Gefion Fountain and Kongens Nytorv. At the old Fish Market, a pre-booked canal boat is waiting to take you on a cruise through the bustling harbour of Copenhagen. Your tour concludes in the very heart of Copenhagen at Gammel Strand, which is only a few minutes' walk from Stroget, the main shopping street in the city.
Learn about Denmark's royal history on a day trip to North Zealand - the region north of Copenhagen where majestic castles take centre stage. With an expert guide at your side, explore Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød, seeing sites like the Coronation Chapel and Marble Gallery, while hearing tales of King Christian IV. Before returning to Copenhagen, stop for photos by Fredensborg Castle and then spend time at leisure in Elsinore - home to the UNESCO-listed Kronborg Castle.
Join the Grand Tour of Copenhagen and view all the major sights of the Danish Capital by coach. You will pass by the Tivoli Gardens and the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. Drive through the colourful canal district where your local guide will point out the major sites including the National Museum to Christiansborg Palace, home to the Danish Parliament.
If you love castles, Denmark has almost as many fairy tale castles as it does fairy tales. Leave Copenhagen behind as you head north through magnificent Danish countryside and coastline. Visit the picturesque region of North Zealand just outside Copenhagen, where you will see Kronborg Castle made famous as the setting of Shakespeare's Hamlet as well as the magnificent Fredensborg Palace and Frederiksborg Castle.

I think you have a great idea.
Cut N Run wrote: You know, it almost seems like we should start some kind of project to help raise some money for turkeys or some turkey-related project. Or, we could adopt a hunter with a disability and sponsor them a turkey hunt somewhere special. I'm sure somebody here knows of a wounded warrior or someone similar who could use the opportunity to get out & chase some Longbeards somewhere special. I don't have a lot of $$, but I have some I'd spare towards a thing like that. Maybe we could do a hat drive where a portion of the proceeds could go towards realizing that dream hunt for a deserving hunter. It would make for a good story for the magazine & it would make me feel pretty good to help out someone who sacrificed for all of us.

Matt Hodgetts says Grey Lynn five years ago reminded him of Hampstead when he was growing up in London: a bit bohemian, with a strong community feel. When he came to Auckland with his Kiwi wife Jodi, it was the only neighbourhood they wanted, and this house was the first they saw.
"There was just a feel about the house and the street," Matt says. The romance was complete when they bought the house on Valentine's Day, the third owners since it was built in 1911. With baby Charlie a few months old, they knew the square-bay villa was a real family home.
Jodi and Matt both worked in hospitality, so they had very clear ideas about what they wanted - a house built for entertaining.
"We built the en suite bathroom and camped in the front rooms for the first year," says Jodi.
That meant they could create a new open-plan kitchen, living area, and west-facing rear deck. They gutted the old lean-to, keeping the sloping ceiling and original sash window.
Cooking is Matt's passion: "We designed the house around the kitchen," he says. "I even built a foam-board model to test the work-flows."
The white cabinets, with metres of sleek stainless steel counters, were built by friends at Form Design. "My contribution was the bookshelves opening onto the living room," says Jodi, who also got a second oven, for baking.
They've hosted 16 people for dinner, but mostly the clever custom-made table tucks under the island bar, freeing up space.
Matt says the view down the hall also reminds him of Hampstead, with its glimpse of trees from one of three sets of French doors.
The front half's original kauri floor meets the rear's nearly matching macrocarpa, separated by a restored stained-glass villa door.
The built-in bench-seats solved another typical villa problem, by incorporating extra storage.
"There's even a laundry chute to downstairs," says Jodi.
The sunny window-seat opposite is a favourite winter spot. The TV sits above a space already consented for a gas fire, although with central heating and HRV, they haven't needed it.
Outside, Matt made sure Charlie could kick a football, terracing the garden to create a flat lawn neatly edged with planters and white-chip paths.
The laundry is under the house, an area which could be developed. A small office space off the kitchen could also become a laundry or scullery.
On the south side of the house, the couple carved out an en suite, family bathroom and the office from a former dark living room. The en suite reaps the rewards: a graceful corner fireplace that still works. "It's so romantic in the winter, bathing by firelight," says Jodi.
The sculptural oval tub was an indulgence, matched by the oval sink. The same sink reappears in the family bathroom, along with the over-sized glossy tiles and a generous shower.
The twin corner fireplace decorates the master bedroom, which also has an original ceiling rose and morning sun pouring in the double-wide sash windows. Across the hall, Charlie and his baby sister Chloe enjoy their sunny bedrooms.
Charlie loves his mezzanine platform bed, which cleverly creates more storage and play space for him and his mates.
He also loves chatting to the neighbours from the back deck, and walks to the popular Grey Lynn School.
The family have loved the house, the neighbours and the street, but are itching for another project. However, they won't be straying from their favourite neighbourhood.

We managed to be in kerala at the time of local government elections, at which time there is a total liquor ban across the state. once or twice we managed to get around this problem by being discreetly served beer in tea cups (the idea being that if the police came to check on our particular establishment they would just think we were very fond of the local chai). Another occasional option was to buy a couple of a locals personal supply and drink them in your room, but these are invariably warm and a 35 degree beer is as good as no beer to me.
From Kerela we headed into Tamil Nadu, a state i always knew wasn't going to be forthcoming with its alcohol
We get to Pondicherry and find out that not all the local elections happen at the same time, and that they are now being held here, meaning a total liquor ban for three days (the duration of our stay in the province!). Apparently they have to have an alcohol ban here at the time of the elections due to previous years of violence and riots in the streets. As the realisation that it would be impossible for me to get my hands on a cold beer for at least another three days sank in the idea of violence on the street began to sound quite appealing. On the plus the food in Pondicherry is a very welcome change from the masala for breakfast, lunch and dinner you have no choice but to eat in the rest of Tamil Nadu. However the fact remains that the temperature and the humidity were continuing to rise and there was no sign of a cold beer coming my way
We made Pondicherry more or less our last stop in India before flying from Chenai to Colombo in Sri Lanka, where we made the assumption there would be no elections or other inhibit ants to the consumption of alcohol, and we could head straight for a beach and enjoy a well earned ice cold beer...
...not so. we only have to walk off of the plane to find out that we have timed our arrival to coincide perfectly with the start of a national holiday to celebrate buddas 2550th birthday. it's n annual celebration which a tour opporator at the airport tells us will last for three days (exactly the amount of time we were planning to spend on the beach!). Sure enough we arrive at Unawatuna on the south coast and find that all the guest houses and restaurants have cleared their premises of all stocks of beer incase the police come to check on them (it's something like a $2,000 fine if they are found with any beer). So no beer for at least another three days. For a country with the worlds highest incidence of alcoholism, this national holiday must be a test, then again it does also have the world highest suicide rate?
i was considering staying here for an extra day, to ride out this dry spell and reap the rewards on the first day of alcoholic freedom, but i have just been informed, in this land of ever changing information and rules that the alcohol ban in enforced for a whole week, which means another dry three days!! it's the only thing that keeps me moving. I feel like a donkey chasing the carrot on a stick along a dusty path. Except i am an increasingly desperate Englishman chasing a cold beer around the world, prepared to travel further and faster at any cost for one perfectly chilled larger!

Was checking around on Ebay and I saw that the McQuarrie Boba is already going for big bucks. This is gonna be a tough figure to find IMO, even at 2 per case. A couple of guys here at work who are just casual fans of SW were telling me they want one and they don't even collect SW figures.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
The latest issue of ToyFare's also calling it the #1 hottest figure and going for big bucks on the secondary market already... and it's not even out! Unless you don't read the issue until May, the month on its cover, it looks incredibly ridiculous.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
It was like when Scorch came out people were bidding crazy for it on ebay ?
The more people want it the more people will pay. A collection piece is only worth what someone will pay for it. So we will just have to find as many as we can to finance the rest of this year, as it being the 30th year the wallet is going to get pounded.

So a lot has happened. Had a part on March 31 for mtgordon's birthday.
Then I left for Linux Expo in Madrid, the talk is online here. Hopefully it translated ok from spanish to english. Excellent group of free software people in spain - i think i barely had a meal under 2 hours the whole time.
From there to Copenhagen for GUADEC. Where I gave another talk with campd. Excellent get together. Went to Christiana free town, a strange hippy enclave in Copenhagen that is fairly autonomous.
Back to the grind.

I am actually in Lubbock. We have the same problem down in LBK, if its not the limited grounds, its the heat, or the few active members having dogs in very different places. Its quite a way to drive to train, but with enough interest and somewhere to train in between AMA & LBK, maybe we could get a training day lined up and do some mock-tests?
I train mostly alone, and struggle to get 2-3 others together necessary to run larger setups.
how old is your dog(s)?
Do you plan on going to any upcoming TX hrc tests (lonesome dove & big d in Sept)?
We are, or have a few that might, if you want to carpool?
Its tough given our distance, but anything to rejuvenate thechapter I know the guys down here would be open to.
thanks for reaching out,
Are you a member of Panhandle Hunting Retriever Club? I was, and I live in Amarillo, but haven't rejoined because no one seems to want to keep the club going. I'm looking for people to train with around here too.

We're Back!! Yes, Once again, the Mother of All Turkey Hunting Contests is back for 2012!
To get things rolling along, we are going to go ahead and start registering participants. First and foremost, the contest is "just for fun"! There are no prizes,...unless you consider being able to needle your buddies for a while to be a prize.
Everybody that wants to participate in the contest should sign up under this thread. The final day for signing up will be February 28th. Teams will be determined shortly thereafter. Total number of teams and team members per team will be based on the total number of participants we end up with.
There has been some discussion since last year's contest about whether to keep it the same or make some changes in the format. We want the contest to be as fair as possible for everybody. Friendly suggestions, comments, and discussion are welcome, but if we cannot come to some sort of consensus about any changes that are proposed, I will use my authority as "Contest Dictator" (unless someone else wants to take that position) and make the final decision about it. (I'm sure I will be a popular fellow if and when I have to do that!).
First thing....Just like last year, every entrant must agree to participate within the spirit of the contest by agreeing to the oath as follows:
Oath of Ethics and Participation: I understand that this contest is completely on the honor system. I agree to compete fairly and ethically in the contest. Further, I pledge to participate fully in the contest and accurately and truly report the results of my hunting this spring . By signing up for the contest, I agree to abide by the Oath.
If you can't abide by the oath, don't enter the contest! We had some people in the 2011 contest that disappeared on us, and this has not gone unnoticed. I will review the participants we had and make note of the names that vanished. If they show up again, I will put them in my "special category". (...we all know the old "fool me once...fool me twice" saying)
Sign-up information needed: (the format for the contest will continue to be discussed for a while, but this information will be used to aid in placement of team members)
1) Your forum name
2) Your location and subspecies of turkey you will be hunting this spring
3) Your estimation of your hunting experience: beginner, some experience, very experienced (choose one)
4) Your estimation as to how many gobblers you think you will harvest this spring: 0, 1, 2-3, 4 or more (choose one)
Let's have some fun!

Former Irish prime minister to speak on Irish peace, Sept. 25
Posted September 20, 2001; 01:14 p.m.
Bruton, former prime minister of Ireland and current vice president of the European Peoples Party, will present "A First-Hand Report on the Irish Peace Process" at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 25, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Bruton, prime minister from 1994 until 1997, was responsible for the introduction of a corporate tax policy to which many attribute Ireland's current economic success. He also served as president of the Office of the European Council from June to December 1996, presiding over the Irish presidency of the European Union as ministers in his government chaired E.U. ministerial meetings. At the Dublin E.U. Summit in 1996, he helped finalize the Growth and Stability Pact that governs the management of the Euro.
As vice president of the European People's Party, he is currently co-chairing a study of the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy of the E.U. in the context of concerns about farm incomes, food safety and environmental protection.
Brutons lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs Program in Leadership Studies, the Fund for Irish Studies and the Mamdouha S. Bobst Center for Peace and Justice in the Department of Politics.
The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information visit the Woodrow Wilson School .

By NEMS Daily Journal
Several Northeast Mississippi counties scored strongly measured against other state counties in the University of Wisconsin Population Studies Institute's newest health outcomes survey, a weighted analysis of factors contributing to the health profile of counties nationwide and in Mississippi.
The outcomes measure has been released annually in some form since 2003.
This year, DeSoto, Lamar and Lafayette counties ranked 1, 2, 3 statewide, and Oktibbeha (6), Union (9), Pontotoc (11) Lee (12) and Lowndes (15) also ranked in the top 15.
While there's merit in landing among the top rankings among peers, Mississippi remains one of the two or three least healthy states, so what's been cited should be placed in context.
The institute's researchers, its website explains, used four broad categories – health behaviors, clinical care, social and economic factors, and the physical environment – to measure its outcomes. Further, sub-categories like tobacco, alcohol use, income and 10 others are factored based on existing reliable and authoritative sources of data.
The institute noted in its supporting literature that its methods "are based upon a review of the literature and expert input," representing one way of combining all the factors.
In sum, the report affirms a stream of evidence built over a long time that general prosperity, education, individual choices, environmental facts, plus social and economic behaviors push constantly on broad measures of health.
Measuring outcomes for whole counties probably could produce results that differ every year from individual municipalities within counties.
The results of this study provide no ground for anyone in Mississippi standing on laurels.
The United Health Foundation's notes on Mississippi's ranking of 49th among the states offer a compelling summary of what we do that holds us back: "Mississippi ranks last in the U.S. for sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and diabetes. More than 800,000 adults live a sedentary lifestyle, almost 780,000 adults are obese and almost 280,000 adults have diabetes in the state."
A side graphic shows that Mississippi ranks worst or nearly so for diabetes, smoking and obesity.
UnitedHealth is an affiliate of the American Public Health Association.
A full-throated debate continues within Mississippi about issues of public health, especially within the Legislature where policy is approved and funded, and within communities as some make strong efforts to achieve better health and others remain mere spectators.
Until everyone is off the bench overall results probably will remain less than our best and lower than many seek.

Growing up in Malaysia, I always looked forward to going to the home of one of my classmates for Hari Raya Puasa, a celebration at the end of Ramadan. There was never a special invitation to visit; Malaysian festivities are often open houses, so friends and neighbors of other faiths and ethnicities can drop in to share lavish and plentiful foods. Every year, my friend's mother would prepare beef rendang, an intensely aromatic, rich, slow-simmered dish, and as I approached her front door, the beef's delicious aroma was just too much to bear; I couldn't wait to eat it. Even though I had to take two buses to get to my friend's house—a long journey for me then—the rendang was worth the effort.
View a slideshow
to learn more about the interplay of ingredients in this rendang.
Step 1
Start by cooking the whole spices—cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon pieces, and star anise—to infuse the oil with their flavor.
Step 2
Stir constantly as you cook the ground spices to keep them from sticking to the pan and burning.
Step 3
The flavor base, a purée made from aromatics like garlic, ginger, and shallot, will sizzle, darken, and become very fragrant.Step 4 Stir the beef to make sure it's well coated with the spices and aromatics; you're not trying to brown it here.
Step 5
The tamarind concentrate and coconut milk will cook down slowly to become a very thick sauce that coats the meat.Step 6 The crowning touch is toasted coconut, which blends into the sauce, adding extra texture and flavor to the finished dish.
Susheela Raghavan is the author of Flavors of Malaysia.

Vocal Dog at the Line Correction, road kill style
People who contributed;
Evan Graham, Randy Bohn, Chris Atkinson, Lanse Brown, Susan Bledsoe, Bon Malari, Ted Shih, Rich Pyka and finally Janie Hoctel and Dwayne Durant!
These people gave me advice and more importantly encouragement during this process, thanks.
Janie and Dwayne took us the final yard.
A couple people suggested that I would never fix it and I should get rid of Elvis, he will never make it.
I won't say he has "made it" yet in terms of titles, but we are on our way now.
Those of us that have had to deal with this know the frustration and heartbreak that goes with this issue.
It is a little more complex to me than some think.
I am of the belief that though we contribute to the problem, more often than not there are genetics involved.
Every noisy dog in history is in Elvis' pedigree, well almost.
Add to that "HANDLER ERROR" and the issue worsens before we even know it!
I think this trait is the result of ANXIETY!
The fix is not easy and requires a strong will and dedication.
#1—This is very hard…..STOP RUNNING TESTS!(last season Elvis passed a SH and I shut him down to fix this problem)
#2—This is hard…..STOP RUNNING MULTIPLE MARKS!!(singles—singles—singles)
#3—Develop a standard!!—SIT means SIT!! This is key!
#4—Do NOT use the collar for this( I beleive the e-collar creates more anxiety and noise), use a healing stick, you control the correction level.
(if you nick a dog with the collar at a high enough level, what does the dog do?
He makes a noise.
Using a stimulus that you already know creates that kind of tendency (noise) seems a foolish way to stop noise, doesn't it?
If the dog gets out in front going to the line, whack his azz and make him sit….and I mean WHACK HIS AZZ!!
Don't nag------COMMAND!!
#5—When you get to the line and get ready to run a mark (did I mention a single?) if he makes noise, pick the bird up while correcting for quiet.
Don't put the dog in the truck, he ain't learning in the truck.
Pull him off the line at first and come back up.
Eventually you can just pick the bird up and rerun.
Use the healing stick for sit so the dog is worrying about sitting and the correction rather than noise.
Run a single mark with total quiet.
No duck call, no shots at the line and no noise at the launch station.
Total quiet.
When the dog runs a silent mark PRAISE the hell out of him, I mean treat that dog like you just won the Master National or the biggest trial ever!
Then run another one quietly (a single), if he is quiet PRAISE the hell out of him!!
(we actually had darn near everyone in the club come over and make a big fuss about his being quiet).
Keep doing this until you get a quiet run (did I mention PRAISE the hell out of him?).
Now you have a standard, or a baseline for the dog to reference.
This is key.
Don't try again, acheive success and put him away on a positive note.
Anything other than a quiet mark gets a correction.
This may take time, you didn't get here over night!
I mean a long time.
If he makes noise on the (SINGLE) mark, pick it up and run again!
Start to add a shot, then a call at the station, then gently call at the line.
If he is quiet, PRAISE the hell out of him.
If he is not, pick the bird up and take a stimulus away and run again, quietly.
When he runs quietly, PRAISE the hell out of him.
All the time reinforcing the standard that we have set----and he knows the command-Quiet and he becomes steady.
#6—Do other drills than marks around people, generally these dogs are hi-rollers and want to learn and play and run.
Then run complicated drills and start to challenge the dog.
Marks, for a great marker, I believe get boring.
Make him think!
Evan Graham often states that dogs are "situational learners."
They develop expectations.
Change them, change up routines, challenge the dogs intellect, they will surprise you!!
At this point, all they know is they are going to get the ultimate prize, a retrieve, and no matter how they behave we will give it to them!
BUT.......when you go back to set ups, do EVERYTHING exactly the same every time!
(smart azzez!!!)
#7—If you stick to this, for months, you will win!
All of a sudden you will see an improvement in line manners, if you hold to the standard.
No bird with noise (the ultimate correction), bird and massive PRAISE when compliance to the standard is achieved.
One more thing, if you want your dog to be quiet, stop YELLING at him.
Trust me, he can hear you, I actually whisper now, so he has to concentrate on listening, not making noise.
When I whisper "Elvis," there he was.....GONE!!!
#8—The hardest part……..in our case, after several months of nothing but steadiness and noise corrections he was exemplary.
Many people were amazed and commented on his improvement.
Ran tests where he was silent on each series.
Judges that knew him were amazed.
#9--Often over looked-- SLOW DOWN!!
All of a sudden one day at training he erupted again because he had to wait.
It hit the fan and we had a 4 round main event.
He took round 1, had me early in round 2....then I got him!!
(this is tongue in cheek)
It needed to be established who the Alpha was in the pack.
(this is not tongue in cheek)
It was (and MUST be) established, and Elvis found out he ain't the Alpha.
Since then……he is quiet at the line.
He barked one bark one time at a shot flyer in training.
He has gone from 100% out of control at the line (actually failed an AKC JH because of noise) to 95% silent and very much under control.
A Standard
Quiet commands
Iron Will
Understanding training partners
Healing stick
Not needed;
E-Collar (creates even more anxiety)
Severe punishment
Erratic administration of standard
This is not a 100% correction, it is in his genes.
WE will always have to watch for this and continue to set and hold the standard.
This is not easy, it is ongoing and in my opinion, it is not entirely your fault.
I am not sure if this will work for every dog, it worked for mine.
It took about 8 months.
I sincerely wish you all the best in this endeavor!!
As does everyone else who ever had to deal with this.
I want to add something……do not even think about where anyone else's dog is in training!
It is irrelevant to you, you have to focus on you and your dog and what your teams goal is, nothing else matters!!!
This is not a quick fix, you must endeavor to persevere!!
You must NOT give up!!!
You must stay the course!!!
This must be adhered to every time you train.
I have added a visit on occasion to doggy day care.
It has helped Elvis anyway, be more settled around other dogs.
Good Luck!!
Team Elvis
Disclaimer: I am not an expert on dog training, I have NO credentials or "pelts" of consequence.
I am just a guy that was to stupid to give up on my dog and I understand that this process is lengthy and difficult and maybe outside the box, if you stick to it YOU can win!!
I have reposted/bumped this post because someone at a HT this passed weekend asked me too.
I have added a couple more things as well.
BTW--we have been proofing this issue for a few weeks.
We now approach the line proudly and fearlessly.
I know we have to watch for this issue everyday, but we are on the same page now.
WE are running at the HRC finished level and MH tests this summer.
I am confident we are ready!
At least we can get to the line and have a chance!!!!!!

First time I heard it was a mossberg ad in a turkey magazine I'm sure it was being used before that. Might have been turkey and turkey hunting. When that gobbler hangs up at 60 yards be ready for him with your 835ultramag. Not exact words but it was similiar. I was 12 and really wanted one of them mossbergs cause I was told to only shoot 30 with my 20 gauge. [:D] Thinking back I can't believe a magazine would allow that printed. Seems it would encourage long shots that would lead to wounded birds.
I have called to birds and had them stopped short of gun range and strut around which would be text book definition of hanging up. One that really sticks out in my memory is the time I was calling on a diaphragm my Dad had had a tag I didn't. We found this gobbling bird on a mount that is more open then most woods I hunt. The Tom came to about 50 yards and his hens came closer. Eventually he wandered off after not coming close enough. We re positioned on him and called him in to about 30 yards and my Dad shot him. Alot of times even a little move makes a big difference.

Area of Frist sanitized after powder found
Posted October 23, 2001; 11:23 a.m.
100-level of Frist Campus Center was closed for almost three hours Monday night after a white powder was discovered on a computer keyboard. The area was sanitized by a hazardous-materials response team and reopened shortly after 11 p.m.
A sample of the powder was taken to a state laboratory for testing, and results are expected within a few days. The graduate student who first noticed the powder said it looked like the powdery sugar found on donuts.
Precautions were taken immediately and effectively. The student had begun to use a computer near the Frist Welcome Desk when he noticed the powder on the keyboard shortly after 8 p.m. He notified Frist officials, and Public Safety officials arrived within minutes. Princeton Borough Police and emergency officials also arrived at the scene quickly, and the hazardous-materials unit from Trenton was contacted.
The area around the computer was first cleared and then the first floor was closed. The ventilation system was shut down, and the student was given instructions and guidance.
A member of the "Hazmat" team entered the area in protective gear to take a sample of the material and sanitize the area. After the area was completely clean, the 100-level reopened at 11:05 p.m.
Information and instructions will be posted here if there is a need for further action. There is no need for medical testing of any individual unless the powder is identified as a dangerous biological agent.

Woman critical after northwest Spokane shooting
Police were busy investigating the deadly shooting in northeast Spokane when another shooting happened in northwest Spokane.
Monday night, several dozen people showed up for a New Year's Eve party at the residence, located at 4207 N. Jefferson.
"This is a house we've known about for a while with parties and other problems," Spokane Police Lieutenant Joe Walker said.northwest Spokane shooting
As many as 60 people were at the home around midnight; fortunately the crowd had dwindled by the time of the drive-by shooting.
"You could see them gathering in the street and you could tell by their attitudes and their voices that there was going to be a couple of fights," Block Watch captain Larry Schultz said.
Officers were then called to the home after witnesses reported hearing approximately a dozen gunshots.
"Sounds like somebody came back with some type of firearm and fired numerous rounds into the residence," Walker said.
Those rounds tore through the house; two of them hit a teenage girl. When officers arrived, police found the victim, an 18-year-old female with two gunshots wounds to the torso. Officers began administering first aid until paramedics arrived and took her to the hospital.
Police are not sure if the shooting was a drive-by or if the suspect was on foot as the shooter fired from outside to inside the house.
While officers are canvassing witnesses to determine what happened, there's no information on who the suspect might be or what caused the shooting.
"Right now detectives are processing the scene, collecting evidence, still trying to gather information on the party goers," Walker said.
Detectives are also fingerprinting glassware from the party and taking samples of blood spilled in fights before the shooting happened. Neighbors don't know the gunman but say they are well acquainted with the root of the problem.
"The officers all know this house. They told me when they were talking to me last night at 3 a.m. They said 'Oh yeah we know this house for all the drugs' and he said some gang-related stuff too so yeah, we're all standing here hoping something happens," Schultz said.
The shooting victim is in critical but stable condition.

Michael Hart Lecture on Project Gutenburg
Michael Hart, inventor of eBooks and founder of Project Gutenberg, will be in town Tuesday-Wednesday June 22-23. He will give a presentation, "A Million Dollar DVD," Wednesday evening, June 22, 7:00 pm at the Noel Wien Public Library in downtown Fairbanks.
Everyone is welcome to attend. Michael's visit is sponsored by ARSC.
Queue Changes on Klondike
Alert klondike users have read the "Message of the day" and "news queues" and already know that we're updating the X1 queues a bit. We're replacing the 30-minute "Quick" queues with one "debug" queue and we've increased the maximum run time for jobs in "small" from 8 to 16 hours and "medium" from 8 to 12 hours.
Excerpt from "news queues":
Name of max MSPs Time limit queue per job (wallclock) ------- -------- ----------- debug 30 30 minutes small 8 16 hours medium 30 12 hours large 60 8 hours xlarge 120 8 hours
More details and explanations for these changes:
Debug queue:
If you're doing debugging or development work, request 30 minutes or less, as always, but submit your job to "debug" instead of "default." To do so, simply change your qsub "-q" option to:
#PBS -q debug
Like the obsolescent "Quick" queues, the new "debug" queue has high priority for relatively rapid turnaround. When needed, ARSC staff will manually checkpoint work in other queues to allow jobs waiting in the "debug" queue to start. The "debug" queue will be pushed ahead twice per day at 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM Alaska Time.
There are two primary goals behind this change:
- Formerly, the single "routing" queue, "default" serviced both the standard production queues and the high-priority "Quick" queues. Thus, there has been confusion between standard jobs which happen to be short versus debugging/development jobs which should have higher priority.
- We're replacing four queues with one, and thus achieving a net simplification.
The "Quick" queues will be deleted next Wednesday, June 22. Users who forget to change their qsub scripts will suffer no ill-effects as the "default" routing queue will remain intact and continue to service all the standard queues (small, medium, large, and xlarge). See "news queues" for more detail.
Time Limits:
Many users require large processor counts to obtain sufficient memory and/or processing power, but some users have flexibility in choosing the number of processors to use. The walltime limits changes, it is hoped, will encourage users to not use more processors than they need.
Communication costs in parallel programs typically grow non-linearly with increasing processor counts. Thus, using fewer processors can reduce time spent in MPI or other communication routines and improve efficient use of the processors. Also, when a job which could be run on more processors is run on fewer, more memory per processor is used, which increases memory utilization.
With the new time limits, the maximum total CPU time which individual small or medium jobs can obtain is a bit closer to that which large jobs can obtain:
Queue: (Max MSPs) X (Max Walltime) = (Max CPU-Time) ====== ============================================ small: 8 MSPs X 16 hrs = 128 CPU-hrs medium: 30 MSPs X 12 hrs = 360 CPU-hrs large: 60 MSPs X 8 hrs = 480 CPU-hrs
We will be watching the effects of these changes and we welcome your feedback.
X1: Update to Default Programming Environment, June 22
During scheduled downtime on June 22, 2005, PE 5.4 will be made the default PrgEnv. The current default, PE 5.3, will be preserved as PrgEnv.old.
PE5.4 has been available for user testing since April 20.
Following this change, the programming environments will be configured as follows:
PrgEnv.old : PE 5.3 PrgEnv (the default): PE 5.4 PrgEnv.new : PE 5.4
Floating Point Exception Handling with C99
The C99 standard provides an improved interface to deal with floating point exceptions.
The C99 header file "fenv.h" describes the interface to the new floating point exception routines, and defines the following macros to describe various floating point exceptions states:
FE_DIVBYZERO The dividend is finite/non-zero and divisor is zero. FE_INEXACT The result is not represented exactly due to rounding, etc. FE_OVERFLOW The value is too large to represent (large positive exponent). FE_UNDERFLOW The value of the result is too close to zero to represent (large negative exponent). FE_INVALID Exception not covered by other exceptions (e.g. 0/0) FE_ALL_EXCEPT all floating point exceptions (bitwise or'ed together)
Several functions provide the interface to deal with exceptions.
The function, fetestexcept, returns the values of any exceptions that are set from the input mask. To test for all floating point exceptions we would use the following:
flags = fetestexcept( FE_ALL_EXCEPT );
A non-zero return value indicates that an exception has occurred. The sample code, below, demonstrates one method for determining which exception(s) occurred.
Another routine, feclearexcept, resets the exception state for floating point operations for one or more exceptions. For example we could clear the inexact flag by using the following:E.g.
feclearexcept( FE_INEXACT );
If desired, an exception state can be set using the function feraiseexcept.E.g.
feraiseexcept( FE_DIVBYZERO );
What follows is a sample code which includes a function designed to cause an overflow exception (cleverly named "overflow"). The testFE function runs through all possible exception values and prints any that are set:
/* ************************************************************************ ************************************************************************ */ /* * filename: fe_test.c * purpose: demo of c99 floating point environment * compile: c99 fe_test.c -lm -o fe_test * */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fenv.h> #define MY_EXCEPTIONS FE_DIVBYZERO FE_INVALID FE_OVERFLOW FE_UNDERFLOW void testFE(const char * func, int flags, int exit_on); float overflow(int val); int main(int argc, char ** argv) { printf("overflow(200)=%f\n", overflow(200)); printf("overflow(300)=%f\n", overflow(300)); return 0; } float overflow(int val) { int flags=0; float v=1.5; for(int ii=0;ii<val;++ii) { v *= 1.5; } /* Check to see whether or the not any of the selected exceptions have occurred and terminates execution if appropriate. */ if ( flags=fetestexcept(MY_EXCEPTIONS) ) { testFE(__func__,flags,FE_INEXACT FE_OVERFLOW FE_UNDERFLOW); } return v; } void testFE(const char * func, int flags, int exit_on) { /* testFE check the flags input to see if any floating point exceptions are set. The program will terminate if the exception is included in the exit_on mask */ const int EXCEPTION_COUNT = 5; int fe[] = { FE_DIVBYZERO, FE_INEXACT, FE_INVALID, FE_OVERFLOW, FE_UNDERFLOW }; char * fe_name[] = { "FE_DIVBYZERO", "FE_INEXACT", "FE_INVALID", "FE_OVERFLOW","FE_UNDERFLOW" }; int exit_set=0; for(int ii=0;ii<EXCEPTION_COUNT;++ii) { if ( ( fe[ii] & flags ) == fe[ii] ) { fprintf(stderr,"Floating Point Exception Detected\n"); if ( func ) { fprintf(stderr,"function: %s\n", func); } fprintf(stderr,"exception: %s\n",fe_name[ii]); if ( ( flags & exit_on & fe[ii] ) == fe[ii] ) { exit_set=1; } } } if ( exit_set ) { exit(1); } } /* ************************************************************************ ************************************************************************ */
When compiling, be sure to include the math library (-lm). Here's a sample compilation and run on the ARSC P6X complex:
iceberg1 255% c99 fe_test.c -lm -o fe_test iceberg1 256% ./fe_test overflow(200)=247937879422739046294637934885000000.000000 Floating Point Exception Detected function: overflow exception: FE_OVERFLOW
Both Cray and IBM both provide some degree of support for C99. In the case of the above program, it works as expected when using the IBM C99 compiler, however I couldn't get it to work properly on the X1. Also be aware that the C99 exception handling functionality is not defined in the C++ standard, so using "fenv.h" with C++ files may not work. Even if it does, it may not be portable to other compilers or systems.

Trip Hawkins Interview: 30 Years of Electronic ArtsJune 29th, 2012 by Benj Edwards
Electronic Arts turned 30 on May 28th, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to check in with its founder, Trip Hawkins, on how he feels about Electronic Arts today. It's no secret that EA, while a massively successful company, takes a lot of heat from gamers on a number of issues (see this Retro Scan and its comments for more on that).
In an interview published at Edge Online, Hawkins and I spoke at length about Electronic Arts, including the founding of EA, finding early EA developers, his time at Apple, his friendship with Steve Jobs, and yes, how he feels about Electronic Arts today.
The resulting interview was so long that Edge decided to split it into five parts. It just published the last part today, so I thought I'd collect all the links here so you can read it.
|"Trip Hawkins: The inspiration for EA"
|"Trip Hawkins on Apple and Steve Jobs"
|"Trip Hawkins: Founding Electronic Arts"
|"Trip Hawkins: The EA Days"
|"Trip Hawkins on the EA of today"
Interestingly, there has been no mention of the company's 30th anniversary from Electronic Arts itself. Its staff was probably too busy revising its own history to notice.

AMORY – Three days after winning the Monroe County Tournament, Amory picked up another big win, this time in division play.
The Panthers (12-4, 3-3) held on to a 4-point halftime lead and cruised in the second half to take a 70-56 division win over Shannon on Tuesday night.
"It's amazing what happens once kids buy in. Once you get that monkey off your back and win the first big one, it's a lot easier to play through games like this," Amory coach Rob Browning said.
The two teams took a 15-all tie into the second quarter. Amory opened up the period with a 5-0 run with Dario Robinson putting in a layup and hitting a 3-pointer on consecutive trips down the floor.
Alex Metcalf put in a two-point basket right before halftime to bring the Red Raiders to within 27-23 going into the break.
Shannon brought the lead back to within 4 with a minute left in the third on a 3-pointer from Zavier Jones before Jaylon Fair answered with a 3 of his own and stretched the lead back out.
Midway through the fourth, Amory stretched its lead out to 10 with two baskets from Robinson and another from Nick Beeks.
Robinson led all scorers with 27 points while Beeks and Fair were also in double figures, scoring 18 and 12 points.
Shannon also had three in double digits: Lakee Westbrook 20, Ben Riley 14 and Lamarcus Doss 11.
The win puts the Panthers just a game behind Shannon in division play, and a Red Raiders loss to Corinth on Jan. 29 would put them in a tie.
"We were missing a starter (Devin McIntosh). I thought our kids that hadn't played much made some big time plays, and hopefully it's a sign of things to come," Browning said.
(G) Shannon 82, Amory 35: Alexandrea Metcalf led all scorers with 20 points. Kerina Harris finished with 12 for Amory.

In today's complex world marked by interdependent markets, global interests, and changing tax requirements, it can be difficult to have confidence and peace of mind when it comes to your financial life. PwC's Personal Financial Services practice understands this and the unique challenges you face in managing your wealth and planning for the future.
The professionals in our practice offer the judgment, experience and capability required to help you achieve your goals now and for future generations. In addition, we team across the firm to provide a robust portfolio of private wealth services to better serve the sophisticated needs of high net worth individuals and families.
Today's tax environment requires a tactical approach and a range of strategies so that you are well positioned for tax policy changes.
Your investment strategy should keep you on an even keel while providing you the flexibility you need to capitalize on new opportunities.
Without proper planning, estate and inheritance taxes can significantly impact the wealth available for future generations. Plans should be reviewed routinely to address changes in tax laws.
An ideal philanthropic giving strategy achieves the family's goals while being tax efficient.
Protecting your family's well-being and assets from various risks involves obtaining appropriate insurance coverage and making strategic choices about forms of asset ownership.
Succession planning plays a critical role in the longevity of your family business. Communicating with family members and other key stakeholders about your plan is a critical ingredient in your business lasting beyond a leadership transition.
The administrative and managerial needs of high-net-worth families can be extensive and a family office can help meet those needs.
Ownership of yachts, airplanes, classic automobiles and art brings unique tax issues. Tax efficient ownership of these types of assets should be considered.
For many years, the CEO of an information technology company kept most of his personal wealth concentrated in the company. When he was ready to liquidate the position, he worked closely with his financial advisor, attorneys, and PwC team to implement a comprehensive estate plan.
The extensive, multi-year plan would gradually diversify his investments and distribute assets among his children. Working together, his advisors set up several different entities, including LLCs, LLPs, and at least a dozen different trusts. The plan covered three generations of the family; each family member's investment vehicles were tailored to his or her individual needs and risk tolerance.
For several years, the investment decisions were coordinated and driven by the lead investment advisor. During this time, this advisor not only amassed an unparalleled level of knowledge of the various financial instruments, account transactions and family dynamics but also built close relationships with individual family members.
Departure of key advisor leaves client at a crossroads
Then, the investment advisor decided to leave her firm. Suddenly, the family found itself without the guidance of an advisor on whom it had almost entirely relied for several years. The CEO wasn't sure what to do: should he stay with the investment advisor as she struck out on her own? Should he continue to retain her firm? Should he start fresh with a new investment management team? Because the diversification process was designed to achieve certain investment returns in each of the different entities, these decisions were critical to realizing the family's long-term objectives.
PwC provides guidance for transition
Having worked closely with a PwC partner for several years, the CEO turned to him for advice. The partner shared with the CEO what he'd seen others do in similar situations, which strategies he had seen work, and which backfired. The role that PwC was asked to play in the process was positive affirmation of the strength of the relationship we had developed with the CEO as well of the value we are able to provide our clients as a holistic trusted business advisor.
PwC helped the CEO understand the options available to him and suggested a new approach to the investment plan that would allow the CEO to retain relationships with both the investment bank and the departing advisor while still addressing his personal and professional concerns. During the transition period, the PwC team stepped in to study the portfolios and make sure that scheduled investment and transfers would continue to be made.
Ultimately, PwC provided the CEO with objective suggestions for managing the transition, maintaining relationships, and protecting his interests. As a result, the CEO was able to continue his investment plan with minimal interruption despite the departure of a critical member of the investment team. The process exemplified how we assist clients in navigating a wide variety of issues and demonstrates the perspective we can offer based on our experience working exclusively with high-net worth individuals and families.

Few neighborhoods are as lovely as Gramercy, arguably the most charming area of New York City.
Situated between Murray Hill and the East Village, Gramercy has a relaxed, old-money type of feel. It's no wonder, as in pre-civil war New York the brownstones and mansions facing the park were the poshest places to live in the city. Former New York governors and presidential candidates have lived in Gramercy, as did young Theodore Roosevelt.learn more about this neighborhood

The Department of Natural Resources issued an update this morning on its continuing efforts to suppress the forest fire that has been burning in Labrador west since June 23.
The department says it has adequate resources currently in place in the Labrador region to combat the Wabush fire, including three waterbombers, six helicopters, 50 personnel, and an incident management team that is" highly skilled" and has many years of experience fighting forest fires throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.
Additional resources have been provided through Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC), which provides operational wildlife fire-control services to members and co-ordinates the sharing of resources. A waterbomber from New Brunswick is stationed in St. John's and one professional from New Brunswick is serving on the incident management team in Wabush.
Three additional waterbombers are stationed on the island, two in Gander and one in St. John's, along with six helicopters and a team of firefighters. The department says if a fire were to occur in another region of the province, it would ensure resources are deployed as required.
The Wabush fire has burned an estimated 27,000 hectares, 15,000 of which are in Labrador and 12,000 in Quebec.
An outdoor fire ban for forest land continues in all Labrador regions. Outdoor fires are not permitted. Unauthorized burning, including campfires and brush burning, cannot take place in and around forested areas. Gas barbeques and CSA approved patio wood burning devices are excluded. All fireworks are included in the ban except for sanctioned firework displays by town and local communities which have appropriate fire suppression resources on hand.
The department says Fire and Emergency Services-Newfoundland and Labrador continues to monitor the situation and is working with all provincial government departments and agencies, local governments, and the private sector in co-ordinating an exchange of information.
The number to report a fire is toll-free 1-866-709-FIRE (3473) and is available in all areas of the province during forest fire season.
For information on forest fire activity, you can visit the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador's homepage at www.gov.nl.ca/ or the Department of Natural Resources homepage at www.gov.nl.ca/nr/ and click on the Active Forest Fires icon.

Drawing on archives recently opened to the public, this study provides a broad chronological and geographic overview of the ICRC's activities from 1966 to 1975 and traces the development of its policy on visits to political prisoners.
As the pressure on our resources continues to grow, we need more funds to help the increasing number of men, women and children around the world who find themselves caught in the crossfire of conflict.
In this document, we examine sexual violence specifically in relation to people deprived of their liberty. We consider why individuals are at risk of sexual violence in detention and how to prevent and reduce that risk. We also set out some potential steps to take when sexual violence occurs.

Why not worry about something that you can do something about!
How about you find something in the our governments plans that you do like and work your ass off to make it happen.
Do something good for one American, volunteer spend some money to help the economy.
All your nervous tight butted wall streeters quit bitching and make something good happen!
You are apparently not very proud of yourself that you hide behind not 1 but 2 pseudonyms.
Don't think for one minute many of us are not active in our communities doing things for people & not having to feel we are superior to those that we are trying to help. Interestingly, most of us have done it all our lives. & I'm sure you are barely mature enough to feel your sophomoric attitude is the only one that is legitimate.
BTW - have you ever helped a senior that was too proud to be in your little government program?

The question is, who are you? And yes, I've read your personal statement on your site.

So, say our government is planning on giving 100 billion to company XYZ that will go under no matter what. You write up the proposal to not give the 100 billion away, and show the benefits of that. Then when the proposal gets accepted, you get 50 billion while the govt gets to keep the other 50 billion.
I do believe these laws were meant to be utilized to save $$$ on actual projects, but in todays world, there are many other places these laws can be utilized.
