German Shepherd Dog > Eliot von Prevent (11 replies)
Eliot von Prevent by clc29 on 27 August 2012 - 04:15 | |
I belong to a SchH club that has two full brothers (Eliot von Prevent x Lena von der Staatsmacht) as working members, who also currently work in Law Enforcement. I have to say these are some of the most impressive dogs I've ever seen work and have beautiful confirmation to go with it. My instructor said he doesn't see dogs like these very often and is also very impressed by their character and drives. FYI, Eliot is also the sire of Terror von der Staatsmacht. Does anyone else have an Eliot baby? I'm curious to know if he is just that type of producer or if the Lena/Staatsmacht cross is a "magical" cross. Does anyone know who currently owns Eliot? | |
by hexe on 27 August 2012 - 05:09 | |
Do you suppose that Lena contributed anything to those two dogs? | |
by hexe on 27 August 2012 - 06:18 | |
Not trying to insinute that the dog in question isn't a good producer, BTW--just can't understand why everyone always focuses on the male in a breeding, as if the female was just some piece of pottery that the puppies were 'baked' in for 60 days.... As it happens, Eliot has at least one significant advantage in his favor when it comes to breeding: he's got an 'open' pedigree, e.g. he has no linebreeding behind him for at least 5 generations, so it makes him a viable choice to with females that are heavily linebred, as well as those which have a similar open pedigree which would result in offspring with minimal linebreeding. This has probably played a role in why he's presently got at 287 offspring on the ground, the oldest born in 2008, according the the European working dog site. Lena has a strong working pedigree to stand on, too, with her father Asko vd Lutter and the good bitches Connie Körnerplatz and Gimmi Abfuhr behind her in the motherline; the pairing of Eliot and Lena continued the open pedigree, which can be risky because you might find a good 'click', or the puppies might just be all over the place in structure, work ethic and so forth. Given the bitches he's been used with, it would appear he's bringing something to the table, because the kennel names read like a "Who's Who" directory of the top working lines; Staatsmach has used him several times over several of their females, and there are some repeat breedings that you would expect must have produced something desirable...otherwise, why repeat the breeding (doesn't seem to have been a repeat due to no live pups on first one, either)? | |

Eliot died about a month ago | |
by hexe on 27 August 2012 - 06:42 | |
Never mind that last question, bea. I found a memorial page for him, and see they lost him to bloat. How very sad...he was a beautiful dog, well built and attractive, and clearly there were a number of working line breeders who liked what they saw of him in the work. | |
by judron55 on 27 August 2012 - 14:21 | |
Wow...RIP Eliot...I have a Lena daughter...Bo von der Staatsmacht...sired by Harro von der Staatsmacht....which makes it a 2-3 on Orla von der Schiffslache. I like her alot....though I wish she displayed more prey drive. | |
by duke1965 on 27 August 2012 - 14:26 | |
judron, you should be very happy to have a 2-3 orla, could be a superproducer,with the right males allways amazed to see dogs die of bloat at young age, especially the famous ones, anyway RIP | |
by clc29 on 27 August 2012 - 15:38 | |
Hexe....I agree, the dam lines are very important. I was just wondering if Eliot was a consistent producer with different dam lines or if it was the cross to Orla von der Schiffslache, the closest common denominator in both Lena and Gracia, with these particular breedings. The dogs I'm talking about were born in 2010. How very sad to hear Eliot has died. That makes two well known sires (Ajax vom Rohnsaler Bach and Eliot) this year that I know of who died of digestive problems. | |
by judron55 on 27 August 2012 - 17:12 | |
@ duke....I'm estatic about her....she is a very nice bitch with an edge:-) @clc....damn, I'm looking at a pup that has Ajax vom Rohnsaler Bach as the sire of the dam...I hate bloat even though I've never dealt with it personally.... | |
by andhourspass on 28 August 2012 - 00:03 | |
RIP Eliot... I always loved him. So sad when they leave us suddenly and even more heartbreaking when they are young. What happened to Ajax? | |
by hexe on 28 August 2012 - 02:27 | |
There's a memorial page on the web for Ajax, too, and it says they lost him on 2/24/2012 to "intestinal obstruction (volvulus)"...which may not have been bloat, as the stomach can rotate on its axis (that's the volvulus part of the technical term for bloat, Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus) without the stomach having become dilated (and a dog can also have just the gastric dilatation without having the volvulus portion, too). Ajax was 9 years old at the time of his passing. | |
by andhourspass on 30 August 2012 - 02:59 | |
Thank you for the info, hexe. | |

January Update
Hi Everyone,
I thought I'd bring your attention to a few video's I have posted on my website:
- First 400H race for 2014
- Albury Wodonga Gift 300m final
- Training footage of a hurdles session from January 31st
These video's can be found on the competition and training pages respectively. There is also a newspaper article on the Media page, from the Albury Wodonga Gift win.
A new blog is now available to read, with details on how I felt my races went and how training has been going so far.
Happy watching and reading!
Happy New Year!
Hi Everyone,
Happy New Year!! I hope you have all enjoyed a safe and happy festive season and that you are feeling good about 2014!
I have been training well, getting through my sessions, except for a rest on Christmas Day! And am certainly looking forward to a big year in 2014.
I will be changing some of the pages on my website, so that you can follow my progress throughout 2014.
Not much else to report from me at this stage but tune in for some more posts, blogs and new pages coming soon!
Lauren Wells' Update
Hi Everyone,
Where has 2013 gone?! I can't believe the end of another big year is almost upon us!
As you may have guessed, from the new name of my website, I got married! I am now officially Lauren Wells! It will take a little while for everyone, including myself, to get used to the new name, but I just wanted to explain why the change, incase people think I am a completely different athlete! The website has also had a bit of a facelift, with lots of new and exciting things happening.
I have been training very hard and building my fitness/strength base for a big 2014. I don't have a competition outline exactly decided at this stage, although I will look at running my first 400H race late January 2014 and then running through the Australian Athletics Domestic Season, culminating in the National Championships/ Commonwealth Games Selection Trials in early April.
2013 was a fabulous year for me; both on the track and also in my personal life. I am as committed as ever and can't wait to see what exciting things unfold in 2014!
Stay tuned!

Another Year Done…
Hi Everyone,
It is hard to believe that another athletics 'year' is done and the Moscow World Championships are drawing to a close. Personally, it has been a successful championships, finishing 4th in my 400H Heat in 55.37 (4th best time ever) and then 7th in my 400H Semi Final in 55.75, placing me 14th in the world overall.
Despite always wanting more from myself, which is a common trait in all elite athletes, I achieved my goals for 2013 – to run a PB, which I did in July (55.08, from 55.25) and to finish Top 16 at World Champs. I would have loved to run faster in my semi and take a few scalps! But it was a solid back up nonetheless, and still a result I can be very proud of.
After the London Olympics I had 4mths off running to rehab an injury. This year, my body is in the best shape it has been and although I will be having a small break from training, I am looking forward to continuing the form I am in and getting into some tough training from September onwards, towards the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games!
I would like to take this opportunity to publicly acknowledge and thank the people who have been instrumental in getting me to Moscow and allowing me to be the best I possibly can be.
MattyB – my incredible coach who is a constant support and source of encouragement. His knowledge, professionalism and passion are unparalleled and it shows in my performances. We are a great team and I can't wait to see what we can do next year! x
My family – Parents Neil and Kerry and brother Steven, thank you for the endless love and support. It makes my job easier knowing I have such a wonderful family back home. I love you x
My fiance – Heath, thank you for being my absolute rock. It is so hard travelling and being away from you, but your love, encouragement and support mean the world to me. I love you x
MattyBDEPT - my awesome training squad, particularly my roomie Mel, and BJ who is usually on these trips with us! It is awesome to have the support not only on the road here but also from home, I can't wait to be back training at home with you all!
AIS/ASC – particularly Ben Raysmith (physio), Tony Bond (massage), Ari Takkinen (pilates) and Ross Smith (gym) – the most professional group of people who in their own fields, have assisted and guided me in the direction of excellence and being the best athlete I can. Really can't thank you enough!
Athletics Australia – I really appreciate all of the support that has been shown to me so far and I hope that we can continue to build a strong relationship the future.
Nike and Oakley – apparel, footwear and eyewear are imperative in daily training and to be working with two of the Worlds' best companies is an absolute honour. I hope our successful partnerships can continue to grow, long into the future!
There are many more people who have been a part of the journey and I honestly am so thankful and overwhelmed by the support. I appreciate everything people say and do for me, so thank you all so much!
Lots of love,
Lauren xo
Moscow World Championships
Hi Everyone,
I am in Moscow, Russia now! The Australian Flame Team arrived on Tuesday, after a very early 4am start! We are staying in the Crowne Plaza, which is an awesome hotel and only 15mins bus from the main stadium. Training has been going very well and tomorrow will be my final warm up before competition! I am feeling great and very ready to race!
You will be able to find my timetable of events on my '2013 Race Schedule' page.
I will also try and put some photos up once the wifi is working a bit better in the hotel!
My blog is up-to-date now too, so I hope you enjoy the read.
Live results will be available throughout the World Championships, through the IAAF website.
I hope you all enjoy the short coverage back in Australia, I believe SBS will have a 1hr highlights program on each night!

London Diamond League
Hi Everyone,
Sorry I haven't posted for a while, it has been quite a busy time for me! On Friday July 26th I was fortunate enough to run a 400H in the London Anniversary Games, which was a 3-day Diamond League held exactly 1yr after the 2012 London Olympic Games. I got a late call up and was so excited to be running in front of 60, 000 people in that amazing stadium!
I finished 9th in a time of 55.93, which was pleasing as I had been training hard for the 2wks previous and had not been competing. It was a solid time and fantastic to run in such a high quality race, especially as it was my last one before the World Championships.
Full results are available here…
A video of the race is available on my '2013 Race Footage' page and I have also updated my blog!
Heusden RESULTS
Hi Everyone,
Last night (Saturday July 13th) I had my third 400H race of the week, competing in Heusden, Belgium at the KBC Night of Athletics. I finished 3rd in 55.84. I am very pleased with this result, as I managed to run faster and finish stronger than my race in Budapest on Wednesday and also reversed the result on one of my competitors. It was a close race but a great way for me to close out the week.
Full race results are available here…
Footage of my race is available on my '2013 Race Footage' page.
I have also posted a new blog to give a more in-depth review of my run in Heusden and also the week as a whole!
Happy reading and viewing!
Hi Everyone,
On Wednesday July 10th I competed in the 400H at the Gyulai Istvan Memorial in Budapest, Hungary. I finished 6th in a time of 56.14. I executed my race pattern well but was disappointed I did not run faster. The conditions were not ideal for 400H and my tummy was not agreeing with the Hungarian food, however, these are not excuses. I was perhaps a little flat from my PB run a few days prior, which is completely understandable I think!
Full results from the meet are available here. I am still trying to track down footage of my race, so stay tuned!
I now turn my attention to the final 400H of this big week of racing, which is Saturday July 13th in the KBC Night of Athletics Meet in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium.
Information for the meet can be found here or on my '2013 Race Schedule' page.
Also, to view the video's from my time in Cologne so far, courtesy of MattyB, they will now be located on my '2013 Media' page.
Hi Everyone,
I RAN A PB!!!!!! After 3yrs I have finally run a new 400H PB! In placing 1st at the Leon Buyel Memorial Meet, Oodergem, Belguim on July 6th I ran a new Personal Best time of 55.08! It was a really close, hard-fought race and I was pushed the whole way. I was so happy, relieved and a tiny bit surprised when I crossed the finish line to see 55.08 on the clock!
I am so amazingly grateful to my wonderful coach Matt Beckenham. His endless support, guidance and passion allow me to trust him and what we are trying to achieve 100% and the results are showing this strong partnership. We have so much more to come, but thank you for the new PB! The MattyBDEPT (inc. the Mini's I coach) crew are an inspirational group and I am very thankful to have them around me, as well as my wonderful family and friends. Particularly my fiance Heath and my parents. I love you all very much
I am excited because training is going racing are mirroring that. I feel like here is so much more to come, so stay tuned!
Footage of the race is now available on my '2013 Race Footage' page and there is a new blog for you to check out too.
Lauren xx

The Suns return to the comfy confines of the U.S. Airways Center in an even better position than they expected. Four games in five nights on the road ended up being four wins in five nights on the road.
Phoenix begins a stretch of four of the next fives games at home tonight against the Charlotte Bobcats.
After going 2-5 in the first seven games without Eric Bledsoe the Suns have hit their stride and are back in the mix for the Pacific Division. Phoenix is essentially tied for second place with the Golden State Warriors, three and a half games behind the Clippers for first.
Charlotte will continue to be without Kemba Walker (ankle), who has missed the past six games. They've gone 4-2 starting Ramon Sessions, Gerald Henderson, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Josh McRoberts and Al Jefferson.
Key Match-Up
When the Suns beat the Bobcats 98-91 on November 22nd it was Al Jefferson's first action after missing four games. He only played 25 minutes and scored nine points on six shots.
It's a different story tonight - Jefferson is coming off a 40 point, 18 rebound and four assist effort in Charlotte's win over the Lakers on Friday.
Jefferson has been one of the hottest players in the NBA averaging 23.9 points and 11.3 rebounds in January, in his last three games he's putting up 35.7 points and 14 boards.
Miles Plumlee will get the first crack at him, but Plumlee has struggled at times this season dealing with bigger players with back to the basket post games. When Phoenix opens the game I would expect them to attack Jefferson on the other end of the court forcing him to defend the Dragic/Plumlee pick and roll.
This could be a good opportunity to give Alex Len a chance to defend one of the better scoring big men in the NBA. He's played 14, 22 and 14 minutes in the last three games and his length and strength provides a bigger deterrent to Big Al on the defensive end.

How to Run CHKDSK
CHKDSK, short for "Check disk", is a Microsoft Windows command that checks volume problems of your hard disk(s). If you are using Windows 2000 or Window XP as your operating system, CHKDSK can validate bad sectors of your disk surface. This guide will show you the steps to run CHKDSK on your computer. There are two ways you can run CHKDSK. The first one is through the Windows Command Prompt and the second one is through My Computer.
Running CHKDSK through the Windows Command Prompt:
Go to the Windows Command Prompt. You can do this by clicking first the Start button and then clicking the Run button. After this, type "cmd" in the Open text box and press Enter.
View the displayed Command Prompt screen.
If you want CHKDSK to run in read-only mode, type:
CHKDSK c:
If you want CHKDSK to fix errors and not to check bad sectors, type:
CHKDSK c:/f
and press Enter in the Command Prompt.
If you want CHKDSK to run thoroughly; that is, fix errors, find bad sectors in your hard drive and recuperate still readable data, type:
CHKDSK c:/r or
CHKDSK c:/p and press Enter in the Command Prompt. -
Running CHKDSK through My Computer (Windows XP)
Initialize the properties of the hard drive you want CHKDSK to run. Open My Computer. Right click your mouse on the drive in which you want CHKDSK to run. Click the Properties button and click the Tools tab. In the Error-checking box, click the Check Now button.
Set up the Check Disk options by checking one or both check boxes displayed. These are labeled "automatically fix file system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". If you want CHKDSK to run in read-only mode, do not check either box. After this, click the Start button.

Sebring Colt Leads Way at MM Yearling Sale
A son of Sebring topped the opening session of the Magic Millions national yearling sale in Australia, bringing Aust$230,000 ($222,771) June 5.
A son of Sebring topped the opening session of the Magic Millions national yearling sale in Australia, bringing Aust$230,000 ($222,771) June 5.
The gross revenue declined 38.6% and the average price fell 16.3% during the Conrad Jupiters Magic Millions yearling sale's first section, which ended Jan. 10 on Australia's Gold Coast. The clearance rate was 80.1%.
Australian champion 2-year-old Sebring will miss the upcoming spring carnival in Sydney due to an injury.
Widden Stud buys Sebring for a reported AUS$30 million. The son of More Than Ready will enter stud next year.
Well, he was just a half-inch shy of racing into Australian equine immortality, but the effort by Sebring for second in the mile group I Champagne Stakes at Royal Randwick May 3 was highly commendable.
MAHUBAH'S CORNER, by Avalyn Hunter
Sebring, who is being called the best Austrailian juvenile in many years, is keeping the momentum rolling for sire More Than Ready. The Vinery stallion is proving to be a solid sire in both Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
One week after his Golden Slipper victory, Sebring wins the Sire's Produce Stakes, the second leg of the 2-year-old Australian Triple Crown. He will contest the one-mile Champagne Stakes May 3 in an attempt to sweep the series.
It was a stunning result for the "little man" and champion trainer Gai Waterhouse let everyone know that when allowed to speak at the presentation of this year's AAMI Golden Slipper Stakes ceremony at Rosehill Gardens on April 19.

INTERVIEW: Adam Levine Still 'On The Right Side of 30′
Adam Levine turns 34 next month. Yes, it's already on the Maroon 5 lead singer's mind.
"I thought about that today, I was like 'Sh*t, I'm gonna be 34 or 35, how old am I?'" Levine admitted during an interview with "The Ralphie Show." "Still the right side of 30! Hanging on for another year."
Almost two years have passed since the debut of NBC's "The Voice." With the TV show, Maroon 5's recent success, and a new fragrance line, Levine is as busy as he's ever been since the band launched in 2001.
"It's just one of those things (where) you roll with the punches and kind of go with the flow," said Levine of how he's handling his new schedule. "You have to match the energy of the moment."
That isn't always easy for the singer.
"It's not as tough when were on the road, actually," Levine explained. "Once you're on the road, you have a singular purpose: you want the show to be really great, and that's your job. When you get home and you're not on tour, then all of the other peripheral things start to kind of take over."
The aforementioned new fragrance line is one of those peripheral things, and Adam has been flying coast-to-coast to promote the new product with Macy's.
"It's good to keep people guessing, right?" Levine responded when asked why he decided to launch a line of cologne and perfume. "I think that it hasn't been done particularly well, so there's a negative stigma attached to it."
The singer is quick to point out that on Twitter, he didn't do anything at first to help said stigma. But Levine then reasoned with a line of thought that Maroon 5 adopted on its last album, Overexposed.
"You can just hate something, which is one way of dealing with it, or you can take an opportunity that falls in to your lap, and use it to make something good," he said. "I will not sit here and tell you that I don't love to make money because I do love to make money. However, that's not the only reason why I'm doing a lot of these things."
INTERVIEW: Neon Trees' Lead Singer Weighs In On Latest 'Glee' Cover
Neon Trees lead singer Tyler Glenn enjoyed the "Glee" cover of "Everybody Talks," but it wasn't his favorite.
"I liked the 'Animal' version better," Glenn admitted in an interview on "The Ralphie Show." "But its fun… we're never going to stop someone from covering our music."
Guitarist Chris Allen disagreed – favoring the latest performance to the previous. Drummer Elaine Bradley is just happy that the band's music is still featured on the hit TV show.
"We want to be gracious," she explained. "It's flattering that they covered it."
Neon Trees will be able to play its own tracks live for fans next year, when the band supports Maroon 5 on tour.
"Adam (Levine) and (James Valentine) saw us play a couple years ago… one of the Christmas shows, in Buffalo," recalled Glenn. "Adam made a comment that we really reached for it and we just didn't like play live and were boring so I think he liked that."
Owl City will also join the bands for 31 dates. The trek begins in mid-February and runs through early April.
INTERVIEW: Psy Tries to Break Past Maroon 5 on Billboard Chart; Explains Scenes from 'Gangnam Style'
He's done TV, he's done radio, and heck he's certainly done the Internet. But after finding his single, "Gangnam Style" stuck at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 for the past six weeks, South Korean sensation Psy is doing it all over again.
"How come they play Maroon 5 so much in United States?" the K-Pop star jokingly asked in an interview on "The Ralphie Show," slightly mispronouncing "maroon" in the process. "One More Night" has held on to the top spot. "At some point I'm thinking like, 'Wow, how can I stay that long at number two… is this some kind of 'Truman Show' or something like that?'"
You can't blame the artist, born Park Jae-sang, for thinking that TV cameras might be secretly following him around. Prior to "Gangnam Style," the 34 year-old topped the Korean charts about a half dozen times, but never came close to the success he is currently having. As of Tuesday, the video had over 650 million views and near 5 million "likes." This is unprecedented for anyone, let alone a relatively unknown artist from a country that has cultivated so many "K-Pop" stars, with none of them breaking in to the U.S.
What is even crazier: Americans have latched on to the song simply for the video and dance, along with the infectious beat. Most of the lyrics are in Korean.
"If I perform this song in different countries, I feel happy and sorry at the same time because yunno, (the audience) looks so happy so I'm happy with that," explained Psy. "They don't have any idea what I'm talking about right? What I thought was, they might have their own version of lyrics when I'm singing this."
U.S. fans of the song and video have other questions as well: one was floated my way on Facebook about why Psy appears to be screaming at one of his backup dancer's butts in the music video.
"The butt was so mad at me," he replied with clearly something lost in translation. "They were doing some erotic stuff and it teased me, the butt teased me. So I was like, 'Hey, stop doing that!' I yelled at the butt."
So this is the stuff that 650 million view videos on YouTube are made of.
VIDEO: Maroon 5 'Live on Letterman'
On Tuesday night, Maroon 5 showed its age in a way most bands only wished possible: playing 10 years worth of hits in a 45 minute set on a legendary stage.
With the release of Overexposed, Adam Levine and company took to New York's Ed Sullivan Theater to perform "Live on Letterman." The concert is streamed live on VEVO and radio.com and is available for on-demand viewing immediately following its conclusion.
After entering the theater by walking through the lower level of seats, Maroon 5 led off with its latest infectious track – the Wiz Khalifa-assisted "Payphone." Then, the journey began as the California boys performed almost every single from 2002's Songs About Jane, 2007's It Won't Be Soon Before Long, and 2010's Hands All Over. Throw in the next Overexposed single "One More Night" and the track that literally revived the band, "Moves Like Jagger," and you can understand why the entire crowd was on its feet from the show's open to close.
Maroon 5 ended with "She Will Be Loved," and Levine explained how easily the song's lyrics came to him after creating the melody and progression.
"The next day we woke up and turned it in to a song, and we actually wrote a song in about 10 minutes," he said to the jam-packed theater. "It was really fast, and it came from this idea… and the song that we wrote… wound up becoming 'She Will Be Loved.'"
Certainly Levine had no idea that the song he recorded in a friend's guest house would eventually go on to become one of the band's biggest tracks to date; a song he would perform to conclude a concert on the same stage that The Beatles make its American debut on back in 1964.

We started integrating WP in 2007-2008... today, I would venture to guess that 90% of the sites we manage use a WP backend, including a few smaller commerce sites. Here is what we learned.
I agree that the editor is challenged for code issues... but its not a deal breaker. I actual like the simplicity of it and it forces me to keep sharp on my html skills by editing in the code view most of the time.
1 - Get a dedicated server. The slowdown on a shared or VPS is at the database. We have 1 dedi running several (15-20) WP installations, and they churn along at -2 second load times nicely. 3-6 was the best we ever got on a VPS, 4-8 on shared.
We used to run the W3 cache plugin, but now only use the "Force GZip" plugin.
1A - Keep your database clean with an optimizer type plugin (or do it yourself) that weekly, backs it up than cleans up scuttle from the database.
2 - Security - Never load more plugins that you need to run the site, and always limit access to your wp-admin directory within the htaccess. We deny all but 3-4 IP addresses from accessing the admin sections.
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Access Control"
AuthType Basic
order deny,allow
deny from all
#list your allowed ip's here
allow from 12.345.678.89
allow from 12.345.678.33
2A - Delete all unused themes and plugins... Even if they aren't active!
3 - Using the wp-config.php file, turn off post revision tracking.
define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', false);
4 - If you are using WP as a CMS, use it as a CMS! We use pages for 75-80% of our landing page content, and only use the post features to compliment our pages. We use .html as a file extension on pages and posts... and take GREAT care to make sure the index taxonomy is correct from page to category of post when used.
For example, if we had a "Resource" section of the site, that showed a landing page (Resources" and then we used the blog post section to write articles about resources, it would be:
Page: /resources.html
PostCat: resources/
So our landing page would be: site.com/resources.html
and the articles would be: site.com/resources/article-title.html
A bit of hand-rolled wp-query code allows us to relate pages to catid's of posts, and show them under, or within the content. We also use tags for this.
5 - Tags and Categories are always noindexed for us. The PAGES are our primary landing areas, and the tags and categories ultimately support them.
6 - Clean up your themes to the N'th degree. We use a speed tool that waterfalls the http requests so you can really clean it at the file level.
7 - Always use sitemaps, both xml and reader sitemaps.
8 - Favorite admin plugin, Ozh Horizontal Admin Menu plugin by Ozh. It relocates the admin menu to the top of the site and frees up much needed horizontal space for writing.
I'm sure there is much more... but its time for dinner! :-)

For all who wish to buy an Acer laptop!!!! Stop and think twice. Acer will not warranty the new 3d glasses or screens.
I purchased a state of the art 3d laptop computer. It was only 5 weeks old when the glasses developed a crack in the right lense. Defective workmanship.
The frame is cracked and the lense or glass piece is damaged. I did not break them as I bought a hard Atache case to keep everything in. When I opened the case the glasses were damaged. Acer will not go good for them even though the were five weeks old. I have email after email in conversation to Acer and they would rather loose sales than to make one customer happy. This is my second and last Acer laptop I will ever buy. I hope everyone in the computer business and computer purchase will reads this and so Acer will get a black list.
Anyone wanting to know more can send me an email to ve3hfx@Yahoo. Ca
I will reply

My plug to my Acer (where you plug it into the laptop) got really hot and it got harder and harder to charge the battery. you had to turn it a certain way. The stupid plug finnally got so hot it melted. So I called Acer and they said it was the cord so I had to order another one that I had to pay for. When I got I got it it did the same thing so I sent them the laptop. The sent it back saying I had spilled something on it (which I did NOT) and refused to fix it unless I paid them $300 for repairs. When I got it back they didn't even snap it back together right. I'm still trying to find someone to help me fix it because its now out of warranty.... My online business has been run into the ground because I can not be there so I have lost a lot. I am really cheesed off!

Secrets Levels
Secret Wolf Levels- In Doom2, ID has put in two secret wolfenstein 3-d levels with wall textures from wolf3-d and some enemies from it also. Both levels are located as maps 31 and 32.
To get to the wolf levels there is a secret entrance in either level 15 or 16 to access the wolf levels. Easier than that is to use IDCLEV31 and warp straight to the Wolfenstein levels. Level 31 is shaped exactly as the first board in Wolfenstein and contains the entrance to the secret level 32. Level 32 is shaped as the last level of the game in Wolfenstein. The boss is the cyberdemon. Once you complete level 32 you will be warped back to level 16.

Yet Jay Seawell's squad jumped out early, taking big leads in its first three matches, and then hung on to repel the "jinx," defeating Kent State 3.5-1.5 in their Thursday quarterfinal tilt at Riviera CC.
Justin Thomas, the national freshman of the year, took out Kevin Miller, 6 and 5, while Cory Whitsett make quick work of Kyle Kmiecik, winning 5 and 4. Scott Strohmeyer then took care of the third and deciding point, but not without a fight from Taylor Pendrith. Strohmeyer was 5 up in the match through eighth holes but just 2 up after 15 holes. He then needed to make a clutch 20-foot par saving putt on the par-3 16th to halve the hole and keep Pendrith from stealing any more momentum.
When Strohmeyer made a birdie on the 17th to halve another hole, he closed out the match, 2 and 1.
"It's a lot harder as a coach [than stroke play]," said Seawell afterward. "That last point is hard. We knew that coming in, to get to three was going to be hard."
"If you like root canals, we should do this more often," joked Desimone after advancing despite neither of his two top players, Max Homa and Brandon Hagy, claiming a point. "Match Play is just a different game. We were fortunate to come out on top."
Saturday's other semifinal will have Texas, the top-ranked team in the final Golf World/Nike Golf coaches' poll entering nationals, facing Oregon, a veteran squad playing with a heavy heart.
The Longhorns had the easiest time of all the quarterfinals winners Thursday, knocking off Washington 5-0 with Jordan Spieth leading the way with a 4-and-3 victory over Ty Chambers. Collectively all five Texas golfers (Spieth, Dylan Frittelli, Toni Hakula, Cody Gribble and Julio Vegas), trailed in just two of the 82 holes played.
Conversely, the Ducks needed some late-match heroics from Eugene Wong, the Pac-12 player of the year, to defeat UCLA, 3-2. Wong was 2 down in his match with Anton Arboleda after nine holes but won the 10th. Despite hitting his tee shot into the trees on the 11th and 12th holes, he saved par on each, squaring the match on the 12th.
Arboleda retook the lead on the 14th hole, but missed a short par putt on the 15th, then hit over the green on the par-3 16th and failing to get up and down for par. Arboleda had birdie putts on the 17th and 18th holes to win them both, but couldn't convert, Wong ultimately winning 1 up
"It feels good, obviously," said Wong. "It was tough there for a while, but I knew I just had to stay focused and keep trying. And then on the 15th, you felt the momentum swing."
Oregon coach Casey Martin said that the experience his veteran squad gained playing match play at the 2010 NCAA Championship, reaching the semifinals there before losing to Oklahoma State, was key in the comeback.
He also noted that there was extra motivation for his squad to play after it learned that former head coach and current director of operations Steve Nosler was admitted into the hospital the day before the Ducks left for Riviera. "He's had some health issues but thankfully he got out of intensive care," Martin said. "The guys really want to do well for him. they've got his name written on their golf balls. We really want to bring the trophy back home for him."
UCLA's loss to Oregon came despite sophomore standout Patrick Cantlay winning his match for the Bruins against Jonathan Woo, 5 and 3. The question now is whether that was the last event the 21-year-old from Long Beach will play for the Bruins. Speculation is that he might turn pro this summer after having a wildly successful summer playing in PGA Tour events last summer and claiming low amateur honors at the Masters in April.
Cantlay has a spot in the field at the U.S. Open later this month and the British Open next month, provided he stays amateur for both events. He also has a sponsor's exemption into the Travelers Championship the week after playing at Olympic Club and is likely to receive exemptions into other PGA Tour events should he decide to make the up to the pro ranks.

Don't list any references on your resume. Instead, you may type the phrase, "References available on request" at the bottom of your resume. You should always bring a list of references along with you to an interview. The list should be typed and include the following for each individual:
Name Title Company/Organization Address Phone (E-mail)
Your reference page should be printed on the same paper as your resume. You may also wish to use the same heading as your resume. This allows the interviewer to keep all your materials together in a uniform "package."
Create a list of 3-5 individuals who would present you positively to a prospective employer, preferably those who can discuss your work and study habits. Give serious thought to which individuals will give you the best reference. Your list might include:
Supervisors Co-workers Volunteer coordinators Professors Internship supervisors
Be sure to call each reference to ask for permission prior to giving a potential employer their name. Make sure that they will give you a strong, positive reference. If they will, verify their current employer, title, address, telephone number, and e-mail address.

In This Issue
The Association's commitment to "Put Research First" continues to be demonstrated through action. Here is an update on recent steps taken to fulfill this pledge.
There has been a big break in the search for a robust biomarker that would help clarify the diagnosis of CFS and guide treatment decisions. Amid the current controversy over XMRV, a report published May 26, 2011, ahead of print in the Journal of Internal Medicine, has received scant attention. But its implications are huge, especially because it extends earlier reports from the same group with larger patient cohorts and more sophisticated subgroup analyses. Read more about this important Association-funded study from Kathy and Alan Light of University of Utah, and their colleagues.
XMRV continues to dominate headlines in the popular and scientific press, and to be the subject of intense debate within the scientific and medical communities. Two studies published in Science on May 31, 2011 are the latest ones to cast doubt on the association between XMRV, a larger family of murine leukemia virus-related viruses and CFS. The NIH has updated its website to reflect the findings of these latest studies and to affirm plans to continue with two multicenter studies of XMRV and CFS. At an international conference on HTLV and other retroviruses held this week, eight presentations and 15 posters provided some new data and a forum for discussion of the conflicting findings in the field. We keep our XMRV overview and resource lists current, adding new information regularly.
The CFIDS Association has formed a new Scientific Advisory Board to guide and shape its research program. We are honored to have the benefit of diverse expertise from these esteemed experts representing a variety of scientific and strategic disciplines. Read the bios of our scientific advisors.
Immune Markers Distinguish CFS/ME Patients from Healthy Controls: Researchers at Bond University in Australia teamed with long-time CFS researcher and immunologist Nancy Klimas of the University of Miami to study the immune profiles of 95 CFS/ME patients compared to 50 healthy controls. Compared to healthy individuals, CFS/ME patients displayed significant increases in IL-10, IFN-y, TNF-a, CD4+CD25+ T cells, FoxP3 and VPACR2 expression. The authors state that, "These results illustrate a severely compromised immunomodulation mechanism in CFS/ME where attempts to regulate or restore immune homeostasis appear to be impaired." (Journal of Translational Medicine, May 28, 2011)
Heritable Predisposition of CFS Found: Utilizing the Utah Population Database, researchers at the University of Utah, Fatigue Consultation Clinic and Veterans Administration Medical Center in Salt Lake City searched linked medical records for the diagnostic code for CFS (780.71). 811 cases were included in the assessment. The analysis "shows clear evidence of significant excess familial clustering and significantly elevated risks for CFS among first, second, and third degree relatives of CFS cases. The results strongly support a genetic contribution to predisposition to CFS." The authors report that this is the first population-based analysis to comprehensively support this claim. (BMC Neurology, May 27, 2011)
Inflammatory Cytokine and Chemokine Signature: Blood samples collected from 118 CFS patients who had tested positive for XMRV were compared to samples obtained from 138 controls subjects. Of the 26 cytokines and chemokines tested, 19 were different between patients and controls. The greatest difference was between interleukin-8, a major mediator of the inflammatory response, which was upregulated in cases compared to controls. The authors from the Whittemore Peterson Institute and University of Reno suggest that this data supports the description of XMRV-related CFS as an inflammatory disease and propose that multiplex cytokine and chemokine analysis in conjunction with XMRV testing "may serve as a useful diagnostic for CFS." (IN VIVO, May 16, 2011)
Evidence of Brainstem Dysfunction and Altered Homeostasis: Researchers in Australia used statistical parametric mapping of brain MR images and compared against clinical scores for 25 CFS subjects and 25 normal controls. Midbrain white matter volume was observed to decrease with increasing fatigue duration. A strong correlation in CFS between brainstem grey matter volume and pulse pressure suggested impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation. These results are consistent with an insult to the midbrain at fatigue onset that affects multiple feedback control loops to suppress cerebral motor and cognitive activity and disrupt local CNS homeostasis, including resetting of some elements of the autonomic nervous system. (NMR in BioMedicine, May 11, 2011)
Journal highlights are regularly posted to our new research-focused website and blog, Research1st.

We have recently posted about microbiome research and the energy envelope approach to symptom management..
Research on and treatment for chronic pain has been elevated on the federal policy radar through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and annual appropriations legislation that funds the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Institute of Medicine (IOM) will release its study of chronic pain at the end of June and a new HHS Interagency Pain Research Coordinating Committee is being formed. Updates on these activities were provided by top leadership staff from the National Institutes of Health at the 6th Scientific Meeting of the TMJ Association. At the meeting, members of the Chronic Pain Research Alliance updated researchers about efforts to advance policy on research for conditions that frequently co-occur (like CFS, FM, TMJ, endometriosis and vulvodynia), including the request for a congressional hearing on pain made on June 6 in anticipation of the IOM's report.
News coverage of CFS has been heavy over the last two weeks, following new publications in Science about XMRV and a request from the editors of Science that authors of the original XMRV study retract their publication. You can find all the media coverage here, but these articles in Scientific American and Nature are worth special mention since they reinforce the need for continued multidisciplinary research. The hosts of "This Week in Virology" and guest virologist Stephen Goff, PhD, covered the latest developments and addressed a lot of commonly asked questions in episode 136 of this popular science podcast.
The second annual "24 Hours In the Enchanted Forest: A Race to SolveCFS" will be held June 18, 2011 in McGaffey, New Mexico. This endurance cycling event was started last year by Claudia Goodell in support of the CFIDS Association of America. Our scientific directo,r Suzanne Vernon, PhD, and members of her family will be among this year's participants. Good luck to all the racers and thanks for raising awareness and funds for CFS!

The IACFS/ME will host the 10th International CFS/ME Research and Clinical Conference in Ottawa, Canada, Sept. 22-25, 2011. The conference theme is "Translating Evidence Into Practice."
The CFIDS Association won $25,000 in the Chase Community Giving contest on Facebook in May. All funds will be used to support the Association's research program. The Association is competing in the Vivnt Gives Back challenge on Facebook for $250,000 in cash prizes.
We've started a regular feature on our Research1st blog that lists 5 "picks" selected by researchers, physicians, policymakers, other professionals, patients, advocates and caregivers. These picks represent articles, books, websites, films, etc. that they have chosen as particularly interesting, compelling or descriptive of science - either in general or in an area in which they have an active interest.

Spooky Savings on Kids' Costumes and Halloween Candy
By Jean Chatzky with Arielle McGowen
Oprah.com | October 20, 2008
With the economy tighter than it's been in decades, I bet you'd like to save a little money this Halloween. With a little creative thinking, it's entirely possible to do just that.
Get Crafty!
You absolutely do not have to buy a prepackaged costume for your kids. Last year, we took a clear plastic garbage bag, cut out a couple of holes at the bottom for legs, filled it with colorful balloons and my daughter went as a bag of jelly beans. She looked great. The year before that, my 12-year-old son pulled off a great Will Ferrell in
by taking a red blazer from my closet and putting on a cheap wig.
The National Retail Federation says the top three costumes this year are expected to be a princess, a pirate and Spider-Man—all things you can easily put together at home, says Amanda Formaro, founder of the crafts magazine FamilyCorner.com.
A princess dress can easily be fashioned out of a little fabric from a discount retail store if you have even basic sewing skills, or you can even use hot glue since it will only be worn for a few hours. Then, just attach a piece of tulle to a cone hat made out of cardboard, and make a wand out of tinfoil.
The pirate costume is equally easy and inexpensive if your kid has a striped shirt and a pair of black pants. Just add a bandanna, an eye patch made out of black fabric and a cardboard sword.
And for Spider-Man, your best bet is the movie-themed pajamas, if you have them, or a little face paint on a red, long-sleeved T-shirt. "Whenever you're making a costume out of something that's just hanging around, it sparks your kids' creative sides and really makes it a lot more fun," says Pattie Donham-Wilkinson, craft expert for the Lifetime Network.
How to Spend Less This Halloween
If You Have to Spend, Spend Wisely
Sometimes you just don't have the time—or the patience—for a DIY project. I know how it goes. But if you're going to buy a costume, at least head to the thrift store. "Thrift stores are an amazing place to find costumes, believe it or not, because people will buy $30 or $40 costumes and then give them to Goodwill. You can usually find them for anywhere from $1 to $4," explains Formaro. They're also a great source for costume jewelry, shoes and even fabric. You can buy a shirt or dress for a couple dollars and cut it up for the material.
Use What You Have
Your kids don't need a special container to carry their haul. A pillowcase or paper shopping bag does the job just as well as a $5 plastic pumpkin. As for decorations, you likely have a good supply of art supplies around the house. All it takes is a little construction paper, some markers or paint and a pair of scissors to mimic the decorations you'd find in a store. Kids will have fun drawing pumpkins for the windows or making cardboard into a graveyard for the front yard. And think about what's lying around the house from other holidays that you could put to work. White twinkle lights work just as well for Halloween as they do for Christmas or New Year's.
Don't Splurge on Candy
You can actually save a lot of money if you buy your Halloween candy in bulk, not only in stores like Costco or Sam's Club, but online at websites like OrientalTrading.com or TheOnlineCandyShop.com. Even if you don't need a whole big bag for yourself, you can buy one and split it with a friend or neighbor. Before you start shopping, do what I did and search online for candy coupons. Couponing is back with a bang because of the downturn in the economy, but these days some of the best deals are online rather than in your Sunday circulars.
Finally, I know I'm not the only parent on the planet who would be grateful if everyone gave each child just one piece of candy—and I don't mean a jumbo one. If you can answer the door for each group of trick-or-treaters instead of putting out a big bowl so they can freely dig in, you'll control how much they take and how much you spend. You'll also keep a lid on dental bills.
More ways to have a spook-tacular Halloween!

Greek Mythology Picspam: → Persephone
Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. While she was playing, Persephone was abducted by Hades. He secretly dragged her down to his kingdom, where she stayed unwillingly, refusing to eat. Demeter persuaded Zeus to make Hades return her daughter to her, but before freeing Persephone, Hades tricked her and made her eat four pomegranate seeds. Because of this, Persephone was compelled to spend part of her life in the Underowrld. During this time, Demeter mourns, so Earth experiences winter. When Persephone returns, it becomes spring. Persephone is often called kore, the maiden. She is also called the queen of the Underworld

Simul. 13, No. 7, 1246-1255 (2008). Summary: We present the control and synchronization of chaos by designing linear feedback controllers. The linear feedback control problem for nonlinear systems is formulated under optimal control theory viewpoint. Asymptotic stability of the closed-loop nonlinear system is guaranteed by means of a Lyapunov function which can clearly be seen to be the solution of the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation thus guaranteeing both stability and optimality. The formulated theorem expresses explicitly the form of minimized functional and gives the sufficient conditions that allow using the linear feedback control for nonlinear system. The numerical simulations were provided in order to show the effectiveness of this method for the control of the chaotic Rössler system and synchronization of the hyperchaotic Rössler system.

Missing Link Equine
5 lb. Pouch is a 2 Month Supply for an average size horse . . . For all classes of horses
In nature, horses ran free, moving where they could find lush and varied feed. Even today, there are herds that roam the American West in just this way: wild, free and grazing a natural diet. Alas, our domestic equine friends dine all too frequently on a dry feed and grain diet – a diet of processed foods only. The Missing Link® Equine Formula was developed to target the nutritional gap between what their free range provided in nature and what is now common in commercial equine feed. Formulated with natural, quality whole foods and food concentrates, The Missing Link® Equine Formula reintroduces unprocessed, nutrient-rich ingredients into your horse's diet. It's a bit of that Missing open range! Horses are naturally omega 3 animals, but today, on dry feed, they need the balanced omega 3 and 6 and fresh, sparingly processed ingredients of The Missing Link® Equine Formula. For years, veterinarians and horse owners have added our supplement to commercial feeds to promote:
Missing Link Equine Ingredients . . . Flaxseed, Rice Bran, Cane Molasses, Primary Dried Yeast, Dehydrated Alfalfa Meal, Dried Carrot, Sunflower Seed, Dried Apple, Ground Barley Grass, Zinc Monomethionine, Lecithin, Chromium Yeast, Selenium Yeast, Dried Kelp, Niacin (Vitamin B3), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Garlic Powder, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Thiamine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B1), Folic Acid, and Vitamin B12 Supplement.

Finding Holiday Joy Amid the Grief
It's a disappointing truth: Holiday cheer can be difficult to come by if you're facing emotional pain caused by a loss. But experts urge us to muster our inner strength -- to find bits of holiday joy amid the grief.
Loss of a loved one, loss of a job, a divorce, illness -- all these bring grief to our lives, says Lisa Lewis, PhD, director of psychology at The Menninger Clinic in Houston. "There's loss when a child leaves home for college, or when a child gets married. These are normal transitions, but they do create a sense of loss."
How Giving Love Makes You Feel Loved
By Gretchen Rubin When our two daughters were little, they'd greet my husband and me with wild enthusiasm whenever we walked in the door, and they often cried miserably when we left. More recently, however, they had sometimes barely looked up from their games or homework or books when we walked in or out. It was a relief, in a way, but also a little sad. And too often, my husband and I didn't give warm greetings or farewells to the girls or to each other, either. I had already made a long-standing...
Read the How Giving Love Makes You Feel Loved article > >
"Even at the best of times, the holidays are stressful -- but when there's an additional emotional burden, they're especially difficult," says Paula K. Rauch, MD, director of the Parenting at a Challenging Time program at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
"When there's a loss or a change in our lives, our traditions must change -- and that's hard because we will miss our favorite things," notes Rauch, author of Raising an Emotionally Healthy Child When a Parent Is Sick. "People do well to anticipate how changes will affect those traditions. It's important to be open to new traditions. Take the best of the old, borrow from new people in your life, and create new traditions."
Open Your Heart
Indeed, the traditions are what tug at our hearts. "Holidays symbolize a time when people come together," explains Susan Apollon, a counselor licensed as a psychologist in Pennsylvania. "The holidays represent a myriad of memories accumulated during your lifetime," she tells WebMD. "If you've had wonderful times, you hope for the same good times, having all your family together. Even if you haven't had that, you hope for it."
Though the holidays can be difficult, they can also be a time of healing, says Apollon, who authored the book, Touched by the Extraordinary. "Allow little miracles by opening your heart and experiencing connections with loved ones. You're entitled to find some joy."
Accept the Sadness
"People think they should be happy all the time, but that is an unrealistic expectation for life," Lewis tells WebMD. "Life is much more complex than that. If we can welcome the full range of emotional experience as part of a normal, healthy life, it takes some of the misery out of normal unhappiness and grief.
"If we allow ourselves to have those emotions, they will actually pass more quickly than if we push them away," she says.
The feeling of separation is indeed poignant at the holidays, says Apollon. "It's important to feel safe in facing your sadness, letting yourself cry when you need to. You have to experience the sadness to get past it," she tells WebMD.
Then call a friend and meet for coffee -- or do something equally comforting, she adds.
