Despite being the epitome of cuteness (we may be a little biased here at DogTime, but that's our view), puppies are a big commitment. Turning these jumping, chewing, nipping, yipping, piddling, pooping little creatures into well-behaved dogs takes a good deal of time and effort.
Without that time and effort, puppies — no matter what the breed or bloodline — easily develop problems such as nervousness, aggression, and house-soiling. And once the novelty has worn off and the tiny ball of fluff is a nearly full-grown adolescent, these problems land many dogs in shelters. Others are banished to the backyard for a lifetime of boredom and isolation. That's why it's important to think carefully and do your research before bringing home a puppy.

Staff Reporter
KRISHNAGIRI: A 250 KVA transformer on Gandhi Road burst during rain with strong winds here on Thursday evening leaving people in the lurch till Saturday.
About 250 to 300 residents on Gandhi Road, Perumal Koil Road and Thimmarayan Street spent sleepless nights due to hot weather and mosquito menace.
As the requests from people mounted, the TNEB officials and workers resumed power supply with the barest minimum load to enable the Zero Watts bulbs to burn at 6 p.m. on Friday.
This lasted for two-and-half hours. After much persuasion and requests from the public, a foreman from TNEB again restored the minimum load of power supply and the load was increased on Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m.
A TNEB official told The Hindu that the transformer had been sent to the Central Stores in Dharmapuri and it would take at least two days to get it repaired and recommissioned, probably on Monday evening.
If a spare transformer was available, the problem could have been solved on Thursday night itself. The practice of keeping a spare transformer for immediate replacements for the breakdown transformers was not maintained in the State.
Furthermore, for each and every time, even for a petty problem, officials had to travel to Dharmapuri in the absence of a Superintending Engineer's Office in Krishnagiri.
A request in this regard was submitted to Minister for Electricity Arcot N. Veerasamy during the inauguration of 33/11 KV sub-station at Chinnakothur in Veppanapalli block, he said.

Henrico's Top Teachers – Taylor Snow
Moody M.S., social studies
Asked to imagine a place where they can escape from the stresses of daily life, few people would suggest a middle school classroom. Count Taylor Snow as one of those few. His toughest challenges as a middle school teacher, says Snow, are only rarely student-related. "In fact, the time I spend with my students is a real sanctuary," he says, "from the sometimes overwhelming central office paperwork and data collection required of us." And when it comes to his students – many of whom face difficult issues in their home lives -- Snow hopes that the classroom is a refuge as well. "The reason I teach," says Snow, "is that I believe that the classroom should be a sanctuary from [the challenges of daily life]. "The students are the ones that make my classes what they are with their varied abilities and talents," adds Snow. "All I do is try to provide them a forum where they can grow and use those abilities and talents." A student who wrote to nominate Snow noted that the teacher cultivates the atmosphere of an open forum in the classroom by telling his students at the outset of the school year that he will teach not only world history, but also arts, literature, the sciences, and most importantly, current events. "Instead of lectures and static Powerpoints, Mr. Snow encourages class conversations and extracurricular activities," said the student. "He always lets us state our beliefs, and we can truly be who we are in his class." The student added that in addition to supporting a Model UN program for Moody students – and signing them up for competition with high school delegates "because he firmly believes we are just as good" – Snow has formed an international studies course that is primarily student-directed. The international studies group, which includes members of every social group at school, explores current events and requires students to present both sides of every argument. As a result, many formerly-reserved students have become more confident about sharing their ideas. "To have an adult treat us like equals, and teach us to always do the impossible, has inspired the whole class," wrote the student. "I want to become a UN ambassador because of [Snow]." The son of a high school English teacher who taught for more than 30 years in Pulaski County, Snow credits both his mother's example and his reading of Jonathan Kozol's book Savage Inequalities (about inequality in public education) for inspiring him to teach. He also treasures his second-grade memories of being allowed to visit the classroom "Reading Barrel" when he finished his work early, and credits those visits with kindling the love of reading for pleasure that he tries to share with his students daily. Snow says that his most rewarding moments are those in which he sees students becoming empowered as learners – moments "when they learn not for the sake of passing a test or improving a grade, but simply by becoming someone who loves to learn for learning's sake." With so much time and effort focused on test results, data and the achievement of certain benchmarks, says Snow, "we forget that what matters the most is helping foster a love of knowledge that helps create a lifelong learner." A recent email from a former student illustrated the kind of impact that Snow enjoys having on students. In his thank-you note, the student recalled that Snow would occasionally play music in class, and the student would go home and look up the artist, then listen on his own. "This led me to my transformed music taste," said the student, "which is surprisingly how I met most of my current friends: through discussing music!" The student also thanked Snow for sparking lifelong interests in history and in running. When a classroom announcement was made urging rising ninth graders to look into cross country at Hermitage H.S., he reminded his teacher, "Guess who told me I should go check it out? You! And now, eight running seasons later, I'm still doing it." But Snow insists he gets just as much from working with his "creative, enthusiastic, and funny" students as they do from him. "I never dread going to work in the morning or returning to school after long breaks," he says, "because I can say with all honesty that I really do love what I do." |

Boss Paul Cox hailed his Mansfield players as they recorded a 4-2 win at Hartlepool after a late onslaught.
The Stags were trailing 2-1 with 18 minutes to go before they turned the game on its head in an unlikely fashion with James Jennings - with his second of the night - Matt Rhead and Jamie McGuire all on target.
Victory, however unlikely it seemed for the majority of the game, puts Cox's side seven points ahead of the relegation zone with seven games to play.
"It's the most enjoyable result of the season in terms of Hartlepool's results in the last few weeks," admitted Cox.
"We travelled all the way up there and their record at home is frightening of late.
"But the boys' work ethic was fantastic. I gave them a hard time at half-time - a bit of reverse physiology.
"We tinkered second half to freshen it up a bit and it was one-way traffic."
Jennings had given the Stags a 20th-minute lead, which was cancelled out by Marlon Harewood's close-range leveller eight minutes later.
Harewood had a first-half stoppage-time penalty saved by Alan Marriott but Luke James put Pools ahead on 53 minutes with his 15th goal of the season.
The visitors drew level on 78 minutes to give them a lift and a platform for victory. Jennings took a free-kick deep on the right side, slipped as he connected, and the ball curled high over the head of goalkeeper Scott Flinders and into the net.
Two minutes later striker Rhead headed home a Lee Beevers cross before McGuire broke away for the fourth.
Cox added: "Half-time was a bit of fun. We had done really well first 25 minutes but took our foot of the pedal and let them back into the game.
"The boys - their spirit and desire to win games at this stage of the season is excellent and they deserve credit.
"We changed formation to go 4-4-2 and all the subs changed the game. I won't take the credit for it, they worked so hard all night and performed really well.
"We performed well second half. They deserve all the credit and accolades but it's only one win. Now we prepare and recover properly for the weekend."

Quirky News
Man claims woman turned into donkey
A man accused of bestiality in Zimbabwe claimed he had been having sex with a woman who turned into a donkey.
Sunday Moyo, 28, from Mandava township, claimed the animal was in fact a prostititute he had met in a nightclub.
His unusual defence stunned a court in Zvishavane, reports the New Zimbabwe newspaper.
Magistrate Mildred Matuvi heard how patrolling police officers found Moyo performing a sex act on the animal inside his yard just after 4am.
The donkey, which had been tied by the neck to a tree, was lying on the ground.
Although he was not formally asked to enter a plea, Moyo admitted the crime but told the magistrate a tale which reportedly provoked laughter in the courtroom.
"Your worship, I only came to know that I was being intimate with a donkey when I got arrested," he began.
"I had hired a prostitute and paid $20 for the service at Down Town night club and I don't know how she then became a donkey."
The magistrate remanded Moyo in custody and ordered that he be examined by government psychiatrists.

You slowly sat up and realized that everyone had gone silent at your movement. Hesitantly, you opened your eyes and looked around.
Well great. You were in the middle of a World Meeting.
And just like that, the silence was broken as a large majority of the nations began shouting back and forth about you and how you got there.
"AHAHAHAHA, DUDE!! She totally fell out of the ceiling!!"
"You bloody idiot, she didn't fall from the ceiling! Didn't you see the portal that opened up?!"
"Ohohoho, silly England. No one uses such outdated terms. It was a gateway to my love~."
You weren't sure whether to laugh because of how they ridiculous they were, or cry because nothing was going to be done about your predicament. A very audible gasp was heard from Italy as he bounded over to you to grasp your hands with Germany trailing behind him.
"Bella! Since you just came here, you probably don't have a place to stay, right?" he asked, tilting his head.
"Um, yeah, that's right," you agreed, letting him pull you off the table.
"Vee~ Then you should come stay with me!" And cue the arguing increasing tenfold.
"No way, dude! She should totally come with the hero!" America shouted, striking a pose.
"You'd kill her in a week with all of your insanity and unhealthy eating! She should come with me," England yelled, trying to push America off of the chair he was standing on.
"But mon ami, if she went with you she would die in a day!" France declared, holding a wrist to his forehead dramatically.
"But the pretty chica would have much more fun at my house, si?"
"Kolkolkol. She will be one with Mother Russia eventually, so it does not matter who she stays with, da?"
"Hahaha! It makes so much more sense for her to come with the King of Northern Europe!!"
Your head was starting to hurt from all the shouting and you apparently weren't the only one having issues with this "discussion." You had glanced at Germany to see his right eye twitching erratically as he clenched his fists. And since everyone else seemed exactly the same as in the anime, you had not doubt that he was about to explode.
Italy was now cowering behind you and the majority of the nations were staring at Germany with gaping mouths; as if this was something new to them. Germany straightened from his hunched position and drew a deep breath as he ran a hand over his hair to push it back. You had to resist the urge to flinch back when he turned to look at you.
"So, mädchen. How do you vant to handle zis? As Italy said, you have nowhere to go. And clearly," Here he sent a scowl around the room. "You have plenty of offers for a place to stay." You peered around the room for a minute, noting all of the eager faces that were expecting you to choose them. But there was really only one person you'd feel comfortable living with, temporarily or otherwise.
You looked back at Germany.
"Can I stay with you?" The look on his face when you asked him that was beyond priceless. It was disbelief mixed with flattered with just a dash of embarrassed. You wanted to hug the stuffing out of him because of that look.
"I mean, if you'd be uncomfortable with that, I understand. I can ask someone else if they wouldn't mind," you added when he didn't say anything.
"Uh, nein! It's-it's fine. You can stay with me if you vould like." You beamed up at him, making his face go red, now feeling very happy with your current situation. You stuck out your hand for him to shake as you introduced yourself.
"My name's (Name). Thank you for helping me."
"It's not a problem," he said, gently grasping your hand in a handshake. "You may call me Ludwig."
"Hey, Ludwig?"
"Why is that whenever Gil has Toni and Francis over, we're the ones who have to clean up after them?"
"Because mein bruder is a dummkopf."
"I see." You both sighed in unison and continued working on cleaning up the giant mess the three men had left behind in the kitchen. After having lived with Ludwig, and Gilbert, for almost a year, you had come to expect certain antics around the house. But that didn't mean you were completely used to them yet.
Like Gil deciding to show off his "awesome baking skills" to Toni and Francis to prove he could do anything just as well as, if not better than, Ludwig. The treats he made always turned out great. The kitchen? Always ended up looking like a war zone. How he managed that each and every time was beyond you. And of course he was too awesome to stay behind and help clean.
"Ludwig, I think we're going to need some of that special cleaner. Gil might have burnt peanut butter to the side of the fridge."
"Again? How does he keep managing to do zat?"
"Oh and there's an exploded raspberry in the microwave."
"Ja, ja, I'll go get ze cleaner," he sighed, setting down his mop and exiting the room.
"Maybe get that foam stuff too!" you called after him. "I think there's fried coconut milk in the grout above the sink." A grumble was all you heard in reply which made you giggle. Ludwig was too adorable sometimes and he didn't even try. Despite most people's opinions of him, he was a really sweet guy. He was just unsure of himself.
Although, that sort of awkwardness just drew you to him like a fly to honey. In no time at all, you'd found yourself falling for the gruff man. But you didn't want to say anything and possibly ruin what you had already.
A crash followed by a curse from the hallway caught your attention.
"Ludwig? Are you alright?" you called out, resting your mop against the table before heading to the doorway that connected to the hall. But you accidentally stepped in a slippery section of the floor and fell forward with a cry, landing with your top half in the hallway. You groaned and lifted your head up to see Ludwig down the hall with cleaning supplies surrounding him and a bucket on his head.
The two of you just stared at each other before you burst out laughing, causing a chuckle to rise from Ludwig.
"Wow, we sure are a graceful pair, huh?" you teased, carefully standing and going over to help extract the male from the pile of supplies. Ludwig chuckled again as he shoved some containers away from himself.
"Perhaps even enough to get into ze ballet," he joked. You giggled and held out a hand for him to grab. He took your hand but something had snagged his pants, so instead of you lifting him up, he pulled you down.
A small shriek left you as you tumbled forward onto Ludwig, throwing your arms out on either side of him to try and catch yourself. His arms wrapped around your waist to prevent you from hitting the floor as he fell onto his back with a grunt. You sighed exasperatedly and made to get up, only to find yourself unable to move. Curiously, you looked up at Ludwig to see him blushing furiously. Your face quickly matched his for color when you realized what position you were in and that he wasn't letting you go.
"L-Ludwig?" you questioned, voice barely above a whisper. You saw something flash in his eyes and suddenly they were shut and his lips were against yours.
And you blanked. The man you loved was kissing you, and you blanked.
Ludwig pulled away and turned his head away from you.
"...Forgive me, (Name). I...don't know what came over me." He started to lift you off of him but you tackled him back to the floor, pressing your lips to his. You pulled away to see pure shock across his face.
"I'm sorry, Ludwig! You kissed me and I just blanked! I couldn't believe it was happening!" you explained, trying to make him understand.
"So you...," he started, looking at you skeptically.
"I-I love you, Ludwig," you said softly, lowering your gaze. You heard him inhale sharply before he was lifting your face and kissing you again, almost desperately. He pulled away just enough to whisper against your lips.
"Ich liebe dich auch, (Name). I really do." You smiled wide and began placing kisses all over his face, making him blush.
"Now if only we could get Gil to clean up after himself, this day would be beyond perfect."
"I couldn't agree more, lieben."

I took some shots of Kevin's personal collection the other day. Everything that you see here, including the box, was custom made by Allen. That pen at the bottom is made out of Titanium…it doubles as a killing device. Enjoy.
Wednesday, July 29, 2009Shot a close-up of the Element silencer today. This can looks great on a P22. The endcaps have a "Ti-RANT" feel to them… Tuesday, July 28, 2009Wow. The silencer shoot is going to be one hell of an event this year. We are raffling off several rifles and pistols that I think you guys are really going to be stoked about. We've got a Noveske N4, a KAC SR15 and a Daniel Defense M4, along with a custom Dave Erickson, Condition One Pistolsmithing pistol just to name a few. I've posted quick images of each weapon that we have received so far and I'll be continuing to photograph them as we get the items in from our many sponsors that will be included with each of the rifle and pistol raffles Here is a quick overview of the Daniel Defense rifle.
Tuesday, July 28, 2009I've been getting a lot of emails asking if the Branded FOR LIFE promotion is still going on. We thank you for your interest and may do another promo like that in the future, but for now it has ended. We had an INSANE amount of people join the branded FOR LIFE silent army! Check them out on our home page! Tuesday, July 28, 2009I am totally enjoying getting updates on this custom pistol from Condition One Pistolsmithing. Dave Erickson, the owner and creative genius behind these one of a kind works, has been updating silencertalk.com with the daily play by play, as well as sending me the images to load to the blog. It is one thing to just "win a raffle" and it is another to be able to watch the item you take home from the shoot BE MANUFACTURED! Keep up the excellent work Dave, we love the updates. Friday: Friday didn't hold a lot of visible progress, and not a lot to photograph. The day was spent fitting the thumb safeties, and roughing in the grip safety.
SATURDAY: Saturday was spent doing a few clean-up tasks. I checked the trigger job, tuned a few extractors, adjusted the on-off of thumb safeties, and other menial tasks. Once I was done with that…
A little bit of hand work on the ejection port will follow. I'll post Sunday's pics in a bit. *Dave Images: Condition One Pistolsmithing Tuesday, July 28, 2009Here is the second rifle for the Wounded Warrior Project. It is an SR15, donated by KAC.

Guns and Explosions
If you ever end up with a surplus of giant gummy bears, guns and liquid nitrogen; we've found a fun new hobby for you! Warning: you might end up on the NSA watch list.
It's being called the ultimate bullet. The RIP round from G2 Research combines aerodynamics, lethal accuracy, firepower with boner inducing destruction. Pick up a few rounds with some extra Turkey's this Thanksgiving and have fun making a mess of your meal and pants.
Have you ever seen anything more patriotic than this? This man is playing the Star-Spangled Banner using a rifle and a few music targets. 'Murica!
This is intense! A Marine took a direct hit to the helmet from a supposed Afghan Sniper. According to the YouTube video: "Marine Survives Sniper Headshot In Afghanistan | Close Call On Helmet Cam. U.S Marine survives a non-fatal headshot by taliban sniper in Afghanistan. Luckily...
"Shooting a Benelli M2 with nine rounds using the brand new SilencerCo "Salvo" 12 gauge suppressor. I know I said eight rounds in the video, but it's nine. Shot fast to see if the suppressor could keep up."
The MG42 was known as known as "Hitler's Buzzsaw". The only break our boys got was every few minutes when the German gunners would have to change out the barrell.

Robiul Islam, Shafiul Islam and Shuvagata Hom left for the West Indies last night in order to join Bangladesh's Test squad at St. Kitts. The two-match Test series will begin on September 5. Slow left-armer Taijul Islam has also been named in the Test squad. He however left last week in a bid to join the Tigers' T20 squad. The lone T20 International will take place on August 27.
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, Abdur Razzak and Taskin Ahmed will return to the country after the T20I.
In the absence of Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh will depend on Robiul Islam – who because of injury missed two of the Tigers' last four Tests -- to lead the bowling attack in the Test series. Shafiul Islam last played a Test match in Zimbabwe three years ago and has also been struggling with injuries.
Taijul is expected to replace Shakib as the only specialist slow-left armer in the side.

This first feature from actress-turned-director Alison Peebles is a whimsical tale that tackles issues of euthanasia, terminal illness, family responsibility and Down's Syndrome children. Sound like a laugh? Well it is, actually. It would have been very easy for this Scottish answer to Rain Manto resort to maudlin and patronising tear-jerking. Instead it ekes both bittersweet humour and emotional resonance through affecting performances from an excellent cast.
Kevin McKidd plays cocky reporter Kenny, summoned home to rainy Scotland by his cancer-riddled mother (Lindsay Duncan) to care for his Down's Syndrome sister Roberta (cheeky debutante Paula Sage). Will Kenny abandon his family for the career-making story he's on the cusp of cracking?
That Roberta will charm the pants off him and the audience alike is a given. But McKidd's intrinsic likeability and Duncan's spiky bolshiness allow us to forgive a melodramatic final twist and the underuse of Shirley Henderson as Kenny's gallery-owning girlfriend.

For the better part of seven years now, Kansas attorney Kris Kobach has been urging municipalities and states to pass the draconian laws he writes that are aimed at so badly punishing undocumented immigrants that they will "self-deport." Even as governments went into debt to pay his fees and the cost of defending his dubious statutes, Kobach insisted that if they hung tough, they would win in the end.
With chronic budget shortfalls, dangerously overcrowded prisons and the nation's biggest municipal bankruptcy filing, folks here in Alabama have a lot on our minds. But at least we can cross one worry off the list: Thanks to a new and little-noticed state law, our property cannot be confiscated by the United Nations – not, at least, without due process.
Mary Bauer, legal director for the Southern Poverty Law Center, said the Obama administration's announcement Friday to delay deporting young immigrants is a positive step, but against a backdrop of anti-immigrant sentiment and harsh laws in many states, much more remains to be done. "We applaud President Obama for taking a step in the right direction for young immigrants," Bauer said. "While it is a small step and long overdue, it is an important step. We should recognize, however, the great harms that are still happening on the ground for millions of immigrants."
The Southern Poverty Law Center re-launched a hotline today for people to report problems and abuses they have experienced as a result of Alabama's draconian anti-immigrant law. Alabamians are urged to share their stories about the state's anti-immigrant law and learn more about changes to the law by calling 1-800-982-1620.
Alabama lawmakers just can't help themselves. When the legislature convened this year, its members had an opportunity to repair the damage the state's harsh anti-immigrant law had inflicted across Alabama.Promises were made. Changes were supposedly in the works.
In Louisiana's Jefferson Parish Public School System, African-American students face a harsh reality. Typical teenage misbehavior, such as horseplay or cursing, doesn't result in a trip to the principal's office. Instead, these students are shipped off to alternative schools where they often languish for months, even years.
It's a common sight across the country: A family packs up its belongings and moves to a new state it will call home. Sometimes it's a job opportunity that calls. Other times it's family. These moves are life-changing events for any family, but for LGBT people, the simple act of crossing a state line has even more significance.
As the school year draws to a close, the SPLC salutes just a few of the students this year who fought the good fight, challenging homophobia and gender discrimination in their schools. If it's true that young people are our future, the future is looking pretty diverse, free and fabulous. We hope you are as inspired to read about them as we at the SPLC have been to work with them.
"Today is an incredibly dark day for Alabama. Despite the fact that our state has suffered incredibly over the past year as a result of HB56, the Alabama legislature and Governor Bentley have chosen to double down by passing and signing into law an even more extreme measure. While other states have abandoned similar measures and even recalled the sponsors of such measures, Alabama has once again made a name for itself as the worst of the worst."
In an incredibly callous move earlier this week, lawmakers in the U.S. House passed a bill that stands to roll back important provisions of the Violence Against Women Act, which would leave immigrant victims of domestic violence and sexual assault even more vulnerable to abuse.

Sometimes the smallest of plays loom large.
Such was the case in Saturday night�s fourth-round clash between Gulf and Hernando for third place in the Leopard Slam II Softball Tournament at Tom Varn Park.
Down 2-1, the Lady Leopards went to their small-ball package which ignited a six-run sixth-inning rally to defuse the Lady Buccaneers, 9-2.
Both teams had opportunities to play for the tallest trophy in Saturday�s earlier semifinals.
Gulf fell to Countryside, 4-1, while Hernando dropped a nail-biter to loaded River Ridge, 1-0.
Against Gulf (2-2 tourney; 15-5 overall), Hernando (3-1 tourney; 15-3 overall) broke out on top in the first frame.
Sophomore catcher Megan Lane tripled off Britney Pressler to lead off the game and scored two batters later on junior Tana McDaniel�s RBI fly out.
The New Port Richey crew tied matters in the third.
Leadoff batter Marissa Bowers coaxed a free pass off Lady Leopard right-hander Courtney Riddle.
Bowers scampered to second on a passed ball and scored with one out on Pressler�s RBI double to right-center, 1-1.
The Lady Bucs went ahead in the fourth when Nikki Sedivy launched a 3-2 Riddle offering over the right-center field fence, 2-1. It helped that Sedivy was a former travel ball teammate.
After allowing a subsequent single to Madison Morlan, Riddle took over retiring the next nine Lady Bucs in a row.
After Haley McCarthy coaxed a leadoff walk in the seventh, Riddle enticed Alyssa Mulroy to ground the ball to second baseman Summer Solovitch. For the second time in two games, Solovitch made a huge heads-up play tagging the runner in front of her and then flipping to first sacker Darrien Hunter for a pitcher�s best friend � a double play.
On Gulf�s final out, Bowers soft liner was snared by McDaniel at shortstop.
In all, the Purple and Gold defense converted 30-of-30 chances behind Riddle.
Riddle (15-3) did her part scattering two walks, four hits and two runs (both earned) while striking out a game-high seven.
With Pressler pressing, she walked McDaniel to load the sacks with one out.
At this point, Gulf skipper Rick Hohenthaner circled the wagons with a timeout.
Pressler�s first offering to the red-hot Riddle was smoked into right-center plating three runs, 4-2.
Solovitch followed with a looping single to right which pushed courtesy runner Brianna Brady to third.
With two outs, Danielle Harvey looped a two-run single to right plating Brady and Solovitch.
Bre Mobley singled and on a subsequent error, Harvey scampered home.
In the seventh, Hernando added a pair of insurance runs.
Riddle�s RBI single plated Sims before Solovitch�s third hit � an RBI double pushed home McDaniel.
From the home dugout, �I didn�t like giving up any homers,� explained the 16-year-old Riddle, �Both of the ones I�ve allowed were to old teammates.�
On the significance of the win, �It was nice to come back after losing the way we did to River Ridge,� remarked Riddle, who finished 2-for-4. �Overall, I thought we played well.�
On Solovitch�s 3-for-4 effort, �I�ve been up and down all year,� pointed out the Leopard junior. �Right now, I�m on the upswing.�
�When we were down 2-1, there was some doubt in my mind,� declared the 15-year-old Lane, who finished 3-for-4. �Early on I thought we weren�t pumped up enough to play until we batted around.
�I don�t like getting third,� noted Lane. �Last year, we finished second and we�re a much better team this year.�
Initially, Hernando head coach Kevin Bittinger praised Pressler for keeping his team off-balance.
�Their pitcher did a good job of keeping us off-balance for a while,� said Bittinger. �The key to the comeback were the two stellar bunts by Lane and Sims. Once we got in sync, they couldn�t stop us.�
On Riddle�s base-clearing hit, he added, �If Courtney doesn�t deliver in that spot, I�m not sure what happens, but she�s hit this way all year.�
On receiving the third-place trophy, �I�m not really OK with it,� said Bittinger. �I love the focus this team is showing. It�s something my previous teams never really showed.�
The Royal Knights were limited to six hits by Riddle, who walked one and fanned five.
Riddle�s lone mistake � a 3-1 offering to senior Morgan Tolle � left the yard for a home run with two outs in the fourth.
Tolle was a one-woman wrecking crew.
With one out in the fourth, it was Tolle at second base that scooped up Riddle�s grounder and fired a laser back to catcher Jada Power to tag out Sims and deny a run.
Right-hander Makenzi Goluba was hurling a no-hitter at Hernando though six innings.
To open the seventh, McDaniel crushed a 2-1 pitch to the base of the right-field fence.
Here, Brittany Forrise�s relay back to Tolle overshot the mark.
Fortunately, shortstop Kenzi Maguire was backing up the play. She collected the relay throw and fired to third. In a bang-bang play, Melissa Moore applied the tag on McDaniel for the first out.
Goluba forced the next two Lady Leopard batters to ground out to end the tense proceedings.
�On the play at the plate, I knew I had to get rid of the ball fast. I know Sims, she can run,� explained the 16-year-old Tolle.
On her homer, �I was just looking for a hit,� said Tolle. �Especially after I struck out the first time.�
On the importance of the win, �We wanted to make it to the championship and win it,� stressed Tolle.
Goluba, 16, described Tolle�s game as, �She was on fire. She made plays all game long � like they were made for ESPN. I don�t know what defensive play was better: the throw to the plate or the relay to get the Hernando runner at third.�
On the lost no-no, �Today was a team win and huge one,� said Goluba. �We knew they were a great team. It�s tough losing a no-no, but I�ll take the team win every time.�
�This one (loss) was on me,� declared a demoralized Coach Bittinger immediately after the game. �We failed to execute on three plays � that was the game.
�On the play at the plate I told Ashley (Sims) to go on contact and that�s exactly what she did. Great players make great plays,� defended Bittinger of the Royal Knights converting 39-of-40 chances.
�On the play at third, that was my call,� he said. �We have to run the bases aggressively all season; it�s something the kids have found to be successful. They beat us with two great throws. You tip your cap.
�This was a great playoff atmosphere with plenty of intensity,� noted Bittinger. �I am disappointed with the loss; not on how we played.�
On Saturday, Nature Coast and Central went a combined 4-0 in the 16-team event to place fifth and ninth respectively.
Nature Coast topped Mitchell, 4-1, in the third round before blasting Lecanto in the nightcap, 11-4.
Against the Mustangs, sophomore Courtney David led the Lady Sharks with a fine 2-for-3 effort featuring four runs batted in.
David, who entered the tourney hitting .380, knocked in one run with a sacrifice fly followed by a clutch two-run single in the seventh inning to seal the proceedings.
Senior Dana Mackiewicz, the team�s leadoff batter, did her job scoring a game-high three runs.
Kathryn Gonzalez hurled a complete-game victory scattering six hits and one earned run behind two strikeouts and one walk.
Of the Lady Sharks� three outstanding plays in the outfield, left fielder Brittany Rodriguez� efforts stood out.
With one out in the seventh and Mitchell threatening, Rodriguez made a huge diving catch, and doubled up a runner at second to end the game.
Against Lecanto, Nature Coast pounded out a season-high 18 hits to climb to 11-9 overall.
Mackiewicz paced the Lady Sharks with four hits while Chloe Gonzalez chipped in three safeties.
What pleased veteran skipper Ernie Chatman the most was his team�s improving defense. For the first time all season, Nature Coast went error-free for the second straight game.
�I think the girls are happy with their performance and so am I,� said Chatman. �All in all it was a really outstanding tournament. Kevin (Bittinger) and his boosters deserve a lot of credit for putting on a really good showing.�
In analyzing the proceedings, �We did a lot of good things,� said Chatman. �I thought we hit the ball as well as we have all year. Maybe more than anything else, we got momentum rolling back on our side.
�After being off for five days, we got three wins in two days and now we�re feeling pretty good about it.
After receiving a forfeit nod over no-show St. Petersburg Catholic on Friday, Central (14-5) returned to action with a pair of wins on Saturday over Pasco, 4-1, and Fivay, 9-1.
Against Pasco, freshman southpaw Kaeleen Koehler permitted one earned run in seven solid innings of work.
Hannah Charlwood and Katie McCarthy had key RBI singles while catcher Alex Eisenhauer chipped in two hits.
In the nightcap, McCarthy belted a two-run homer.
�We beat a team (Fivay) that could be in our district next year,� summed up Lady Bears� mentor Tyson Ellis. �And I�m really proud of the way our girls bounced back from that tough defeat (against Gulf).
�Coming into the tournament, I was curious to see what we had and how they would respond in this environment and I thought we measured up real well,� added the sixth-year Central skipper.
�What I liked most was how the girls showed some mental toughness after dropping that first game against Gulf.�

A Canadian court has refused to allow a Sikh religious leader to enter the courtroom with a kirpan, a symbol of Sikh religion, saying it "could be used as a weapon."
Superior Court Justice Steven Rogin refused to allow Sukdev Singh Kooner into the courtroom with the ceremonial dagger, worn in devotion to the faith, saying: "Although Kooner's Charter Right to Freedom of Religion may be breached, he will not be allowed to bring his kirpan into the courthouse."
Mr. Justice Rogin said: "This is especially so because of the excitement and passion this dispute has engendered in the gurdwara and the fact that the kirpan, although ceremonial, could be used as a weapon."
Windsor police assigned extra security to the courtroom on Thursday as nearly 100 members of the local Sikh community crowded in to quietly witness the proceedings. None wore their kirpans into the court.
Mr. Justice Rogin adjourned the case so Kooner can testify outside the court as permitted under the law — like at his lawyer's offices.
Kooner, an allergist and respected leader at a gurdwara, was scheduled to testify in a lawsuit launched by a rival faction at the Sikh Cultural Society of Metropolitan Windsor.
Kooner remained outside the courthouse after the judge ruled he couldn't wear his kirpan.
Canada's Supreme Court has ruled students may carry kirpans in public schools provided the dagger is sewn into a sheath. Kirpans are also allowed in the House of Commons, in the Supreme Court building. While banned on airplanes, they are allowed on trains in Canada.

I think lots of people start with that. But from what I have tasted it's no good. Pre-hopped extract and adding table sugar = poor beer.
I lasted 1 session with it and it was horrible. I threw it out and switched over to a standard kit. Don't waste your money.
Primary - If it's not Scottish it's CRAP Ale Primary Imperial IPA Secondary - Bottled and drinking: Hey!Hey! IPA, Land of Oz Barleywine #2, Caramel Creme Ale, Red Stripe Lager Clone RIP: Oatmeal Stout, Octoberfestivus, 777 RPA, Fat Tire Clone (1st AG), Experimental Honey Brown
I do extracts, just saw that and all I could think is "Yummy cheap beer with the flavor of plastic through every batch. " HAHAHAHAHAHA
I am not as against it as other people on here, but you cannot be nearly as creative, and it is not going to be as good as a homebrew. And in reality, a five gallon bucket has just about as much footprint as the Mr. Beer Keg. Obviously it is more vertical, but it takes up about as much floor space. If you do decide to go that route, a couple of things... Dont use plain white sugar. Buy some DME and use that instead. Also, dont use the yeast that comes with it...buy some good fresh yeast. Lastly, age longer than it says. If I am not mistaken it says two weeks in keg, one week in bottle. I would go with no less than three weeks in the keg and three weeks in the bottle. If you follow those steps, you can make a decent brew. But I have to ask, if you are buying extract, and buying yeast, and the 5-gallon bucket has the same footprint...why not just homebrew?
If you got one as a gift and weren't sure if you were going to like the hobby or not, I'd say give it a shot. If not, buy a cheap started kit; they're not much more money.
NO NO NO... Just saw this on ebay and was LOLing...... I got about $600 into my brewing stuff already
I also started with this. I made one batch that physically hurt my stomach (too much carbination) and switched to extract brew with a bucket after that. The problem with the Mr. Beer setup IMHO is that it teaches you nothing. I can now guess what is in each of those cans, but they don't tell you. They make it out to be some mystery to keep you coming back to them for products. It's unfortunate their "included" product tries to replicate Bud. I think.
Only thing that thing is good for is storing some beer for a party.
I may not be an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express........ 6 months ago.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/denn...9/#post1766281http://groups.homebrewtalk.com/Tapro...ook_Repository

Winter Blues in Yellowstone
The brilliant blue color of Yellowstone National Park's Sapphire Pool looks like the perfect hot tub for chilly winter park visitors. Sadly, its pristine waters reach temperatures of 200-plus degrees. A little too hot for a soak, but when the wind blows you get warmed by gusts of steam blowing off its surface.

Miles Davis, Carlos Santana, and Robben Ford — Burn, from Amnesty International's 25th Anniversary Benefit Concert, Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ, June 15, 1986.
What's on your mind?
Late Late Night FDL: Burn |
By: Suzanne Wednesday May 23, 2012 10:00 pm |
Miles Davis, Carlos Santana, and Robben Ford — Burn, from Amnesty International's 25th Anniversary Benefit Concert, Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ, June 15, 1986.
What's on your mind?
hey dearie — how are you tonight? forking idol ran over 7 forking minutes and delayed the local news.
Are you feeling well today, Suz? You've been working hard on your recovery. I hope you are also doing lots of resting.
I never watch the local news.
Its primary season and I don't think I've seen a single political ad
i did more than my fair share of resting today — sat out on the porch and watched the construction crews while reading and sipping coffee. i've learned (the hard way) to take it easy the day after a pt home session. i'm sure i'll be continuing that tradition when i hit outpatient pt — they are much meaner :)
Good day at the beach…..no wind, not too hot. I think our rainy season is over, so I washed windows. That feels good…..if 'vulnerable.' Sometimes when I get all the all the windows washed, it feels just so open-to-the-world.
hey coach! how ya been — always good to see your fonts dood
I got a call from some kind of pollster. They asked if I planned to vote in the primary. I said absolutely.
Then they asked which primary I would vote in, R or D. I said I hadn't made up my mind yet. They asked again and I said whichever one I had the most choices in. They hung up on me.
was another cold, windy, and wet day here but it sorta cleared a wee bit before sunset so i was able to snag some natural vit d. we are supposed to clear up and have nicer weather this weekend
hey ppd — how's the monterey bay tonight?
I don't know whose list I'm on, but I get calls almost daily these days from pollsters………I wish them a good day and hang up immediately. I owe them nothing!
been feeling like march not may all week. looking forward to it warming up — as long as it is not too warm. i don't do well when it gets more than 80 outside…
Good evening Suz & LLN pups. Long live OccupyChicago and noNATO protesters!! Fabulous coverage by FDL's own Kevin Gosztola.
beautiful weather here today, but cold and windy tonight
The last time we had a primary, I voted on the republican side so I could vote against Rick Perry.
Now I get all these robo calls appealing to "conservatives like us". Today I erased Huckabee and Perry from the machine.
Actually, we could use more "conservatives like me". LOL
hey past — how ya doing tonight? kevin's wonderful! i wonder if he is up to going up to montreal and covering up there — now they have that law that prohibits protest, the protests have ramped up — i saw this tweet just a few ago:
So far 400 people arrested in #Montreal, 160 people arrested in #Quebec city.Total 560.The night isn't over yet. #ggi #manifencours
i heard that you guys may get rain… hope it doesn't mess up your holiday weekend
"To go against the dominant thinking of your friends,
of most of the people you see every day,
is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can have."
Theodore H. White
I've been thinking of taking a Republican ballot in the primaries so I'll get on their lists just so I can stay on top of their shit. On the other hand, I've been thinking of taking a Dem ballot in the primaries so I can no-vote the BigO….just to send an early message. I'm feeling like doing some shit kicking. But, hey, that's just me.
*shrudder* texas robo-calls are something i don't think i want to experience
For President Obama, the good news out of last night's Kentucky and Arkansas primaries was that he won in both states. The bad news was that he did not win as triumphantly as one might expect, given that he's the incumbent US chief executive
In Kentucky, 42 percent of Democratic voters checked off "uncommitted" on their ballot. In Arkansas, 42 percent opted for a little-known Tennessee attorney, John Wolfe.
Two weeks ago, a Texas prison inmate named Keith Judd won 41 percent of the vote in West Virginia's primary. What's going on here? Should the Obama campaign team be worried about lackluster results versus non-entity opponents?
I never actually listen to them beyond, "hello this is Mike Huckabee….."
I just lay the phone down until its over.
it's a safe bet that we're never going to be seeing any Chicago cops or NYPD doin' anything that heroic.
Maybe I'm naive, but I actually do wonder if any message is getting through to these Dems? How can they not get it? We live, I fear, in bizzaroland…. and it doesn't seem to be getting better.
Guess who's going to see Crosby, Stills and Nash here in Erie Pa. in late June? Me! Hee hee!
still tis enough to make the tummy turn… back when i was an r (i switched back in 08) i used to get those forking conservatives like us calls…..
With only 13 inches of annual rain, we don't complain about water when it falls on us, regardless of the weekend
hey firebagger — ok, i'm officially certifiably jealous!!! how forking kewl!!! how was your day?
hey thatguy – how ya doing tonight?
I say make all the mischief you can! I know a couple people who temporarily registered as Republicans just to go to their caucus and stir things up by shouting support for Ron Paul (most of the dittohead repubs here are Romney people, he's their great white Mormon hope).
The dem strategists understand that it is no longer about ideology. It is about fear.
Its not about voting for what you believe in, its about voting against what you are scared of.
Yeah, but who's out there that anyone can 'believe in'? That's the rub!
no way — you guys are having a great conversation :) i'm enjoying it
snagging a bowl of ice cream? if i wasn't still stuffed from dinner, i would be wanting a bowl myself :)
Okay, I'm going to be up for awhile….Dan Rather and John Mayer on the most bizarrely interesting show….Andy Cohen at Bravo. Why do 'real' people come to this show? Whatever……… sometimes I just get weary of political stuff and find mindless teevee to be relaxing. I should, I suppose, be ashamed, but I'm not.
I mean, Dan Rather….WTF????
Change of subject, maybe? Did anyone see the ring of fire eclipse Sunday evening? (full disclosure, saw the whole thing in southern Utah-it was cool. There were lots of people from southern CA who drove in to catch it).
more miles and robben
i've escaped into a few teevee shows myself… jen's got direct tv and a whole lot more stations that i had on basic cable on the coast….
was gorgeous all last week — until sunday when it clouded up and eliminated any chance of seeing it. had to watch it forking online :(
There is so much mindless teevee….but then there are these amazing things we'd never know about…..like crab fishing! I found The Most Dangerous Catch to be actually stunning and interesting. A few night's ago I saw a re=run of a show on PBS about matching service dogs with people who needed them. I'd met a kid on a plane not too long ago who had a service dog … his 'wing-man' for his epilepsy….and I was enthralled. But I learned so much about dogs in general and our common history. Just a wonderful education about how dogs and man go together. (Particularly touching since – for some reason – Jane's February sharing about Katie worked its way up the myFDL list today.)
Sorry to hear about the clouds. My son & his family had intermittent clouds in SLC and only saw some of it. I had invited them to drive down with me, but my son couldn't get off of work that day.
sister wives. i found the first two seasons just fascinating — learning about their lifestyle and the repercussions of being 'out'.
i love the fantasy of say yes to the dress…
i was really ticked off — forking gorgeous all forking week and sun morning the clouds rolled in and completely filled teh sky. none of this partly cloudy crap — it was so cloudy there was no difference in light here during the eclipse
Hi folks!
Well Mrs. Spocko has the flu. I made her chicken noodle soup from scratch like a good husband. She said, "It smelled good at first, but the thought of chicken fat is making me nauseous." So I put it in the fridge so I could scrape the fat off. She still couldn't handle food, so I suggested Triskets. She said, "No. Too sharp." She had a piece of bread instead. She's acky and has a cough. She has been very stressed lately and I know how your immune system breaks down when you are under a lot of stress. I used to get ill after every major product launch. I would hold it off until the event was over an then relax, boom sick. I used to work like a manic to get ready for a one week vacation. Then I would be sick the first three days.
We American's are so fucked up when it comes to work.
Oh, I don't know that one…..I'm such a feminist that the idea of several women sharing the dipstick just makes me …well, anxious. But I can imagine that it would have been fascinating to try to understand how they think. And, too, also, I was so protective of my own children that I cannot imagine children being 'product'…..but, hey, that's just me.
hey spocko — i'm so sorry to hear mmrs spocko is ill. i hope she gets over her bug quickly and can appreciate your chicken soup…
Concerns about an abnormality detected by an ekg test a couple months ago resulted in a bunch of other tests, so much so that I endured more medical outpatient appointments in those weeks than the cumulative doctorings of my entire lifetime–with a final diagnosis that there is absolutely nothing wrong with my heart nor overall health.
I was cautioned, however, to give up my coffee and cigarettes, but declined such prescription because doing so would kill me….
Hi, spocko. Best wishes for your sweet wife. Gingerale. Soda crackers. I'm wondering what flu is floating around…..so many people laid low, as it were. And some of the coughies may actually have some form of whooping cough. Ugh…and long term, rib breaking, wanna die coughs! Best to both of you.
Hi robertarend. Give up the cigarettes, but not the coffee. Coffee is just too good!
Wow, robert, you've had some stuff to muddle through. Glad you are doing okay. And now they are saying that coffee is good.
the way it was set up originally was they all lived in a house that had three houses connected into one — each with their own kitchen, living room etc. they seemed to have a system and setup that worked. then he brought in the 4th wife and they ended up moving from utah to las vegas because of fear of arrest due to the airing of season one.
now they are all in 4 different houses that are not even on the sae street — the dynamic is changed and its been a struggle for all of them. they seem to have as many kids as the duggars but with 4 moms there is a lot more help. it worked better with them all under one roof.
hey robert — dayam and yahooo and i totally understand. how goes the house rebuilding?
I'm still marveling that Dan Rather was on late night with Andy Cohen. If that's what it takes to sell books, I just don't know! Last moments were of Andy, Dan and John Mayer drinking shots. I'm not easily boggled….but I'm boggled!
I remember Woody Allen's "Sleeper" in which the future found medical reversal on cigarettes, that, in fact, smoking actually was healthy.
I stand by Allen's uncanny prophetic vision….
i'm not much of a drinker but i would love to drink shots with dan rather… i think he would have wonderful stories to tell with a few shots under his belt…
And does the one man actually pay all the expenses, or are the taxpayers paying for medicaid, food stamps and so forth? Everyone is dissing that fool with the 30 kids by 11 women….rightly so, I'd say….but what about these multiple wife families. Someone is supporting these folks, and I'd just as soon that it not be the taxpayer.
His favorite interviews were with Martin Luther King, Jr. and with Mother Teresa. Well, yeah!
Rebuilding goes on, but as slow as ever. Not allowed to smoke inside these temp quarters. Can't wait to get back home where I can chain smoke while chatting on LLNFDL….
Well, guess I can't argue with that, Woody's still alive and kickin', right? Seriously though, I think a lot of it is in the genes, my grandfather smoked a pipe all of his adult life, and lived to be 94.
two of the 3 wives worked outside the home — and lost their jobs as a result of season 1 iirc. as far as i can tell, they are not on any assistance — living on savings and what they have gotten from the show while starting over in vegas. i'm thinking he might have lost his job too but they were entirely self-sufficient and not supported by anyone or anything other than themselves
i have to go outside to smoke too. am really looking foreward to getting my own place again
Same with my grandfather, but my Dad died at 59, but I think more to grab the chance to get away from my mother than due to smoking….
What's that old gag? Why do most men die before their wives?
ANSWER: Because they want to!
i see by my typo to word ratio that it's time for me to get horizontal. thanks for letting me hang out with ya tonight pups.
g'nite all
Pleasant dream, Suzanne. And onward and up tomorrow. Your fans are with you!
Gingerale! Great idea!
I'm pretty sure I'll have this flu in 3-5 days. We always catch what the other has. Maybe I'll freeze some of the soup.
G'nite, Suz, sweet dreams. I think it's time to hit the hay also. Good nite Robert, Dearie, spocko. Hope your wife gets to feeling better soon, spocko.
I've become a Milesphile over the last 6 months. Check out "Miles for Lovers," which I listen to about 10 times a week. Sublime. Thanks, Suz.
emerson! so glad ya liked it dood (and stopped by)

I am wondering if I could brew an IPA using a normal recipe (all the required malt types for the taste) but create the bitterness with a small amount of highly acidic (17%) German Herkules hops?
For bittering, using a ultra-high %AA hop like Hercules should be entirely possible in an IPA. I would run it through a brewing program like BeerSmith or ProMash to get the estimated IBUs, because with that strong a hop, a small difference in the amount used could swing the .bitterness too low or too high.
Type in Promash in google, then press enter. Its the first link. They have a free trial version.
Happiness is in the eye of the beer holder
hopsville.com is what I used until I purchased beersmith. It works pretty good and its free to use.
I like brewersfriend.com. They have several handy calculators.

Well, for the first time in a long time I have seen nothing but total class from both fan groups after two very disheartening matches. No big fights or drama at all and I know we are gutted that out faves lost but we recovered. There hasn't been two many excuses, fights, etc., we just know our girls weren't at their best and the better player won. Especially with Justine fans who have been nothing but respectful after that loss.

what ever happened to the Retro jinx skin idea? A lot of Jinx fans were so amped about this skin when it was posted on the forums. It was so good that RiotZeronis went out of his way to compliment the skin and inform the fans that they are considering this skin if enough people liked it. "I'm in love with this fan art and the idea! The art team had a great response to this idea as well. If there's enough interest in the community, I'm definitely calling dibs on this skin!" -RiotZeronis Original Thread: http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com...hp?p=44744085# Has this been forgotten or is there something better that Riot has consider for her? :O

Hey guys quick question. I didn't buy a hydrometer because with a 1 gal batch it would take too much liquid away so; how long would I ferment for in my primary till I bottle? Then how long would I bottle condition before drinking it? Thanks for any responses.
1 gallon home brewer Bottled: Fermenting: Imperial Russian Stout and a Railside Red clone (overhopped) Next in line: Hopstoopid clone and my own concoction
Also the OG appox= 1.090 FG approx= 1.020 ABV approx= 9.2%
Why can't you buy a hydrometer, sanitize it, float it in, get a reading, pull it out... and then repeat when you think you're closer to FG? There's no exact time frame anyone can give you -- gotta test the gravity, brother. I even have a buddy that puts a rubber band and string around the very top to it's easier to pull in and out of his 1 gallon batches. Cheers!
So he puts it directly in the fermenting bucket and stabilizes it with string and rubber band?
Brewing since '08 1-92,94-95) - Gone 93) Hopped Crystal Malt Mead 96) CCCP Lager 97) Aussie Pilsner
If you don't mind, what's a Thief? And yes I am using a 2 gallon bucket. I am trying to imagine dropping a hydro meter in the bucket without it falling over...
