Sam Ulano Interviewed by Rob Crocker: My Life as a Jazz Drummer and Teacher
May 2, 2008. Posted by Rob Crocker.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
My first blog entry for WBGO had to be, I thought, something special. Sam Ulano was just that. The name Sam Ulano has been floating around the Jazz Drum World for decades. He was a good friend to Max Roach and Buddy Rich (in this interview he talks about Max coming to perform drum clinics at Sam's studio in the Bronx, and people's misconception of Buddy). Sam, aside from being a good drummer, always had the rep' of being the Great Teacher - actually, teaching the trick of reading drum music. His students included Barry Altschul, Marvin 'Smitty' Smith, Dion Parsons - and his first student was Art Taylor (back in the '40s). At the age of 87, his mind is still sharp and he continues to teach and write books.
At the start of the interview, he is a bit off mic because he's busy putting his drumsticks in order (so he can illustrate his technique). He also starts with some drum history that I, and maybe you, never think about (from 1812-1920). This leads into his philosophy about what going wrong in drumming today. The music featured in the interview are from his recordings in the '50s and '60s, including the record that got him appearances on nationwide television and radio. In the interview, we talk about all this and much more and conclude with The Hit. - Rob Crocker

It's the last day of Great Live Moments...for now. And the first day of our on-air fundraising campaign. If you've enjoyed any of these Great Live Moments, support WBGO. Because "when you start to love us, you're so fine and mellow."
Hear Carmen McRae sing "Fine and Mellow," from the WBGO Archives.
Cedar at Smoke .. Luciana at Kennedy Center
May 2, 2008. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive
The JazzSet team is in two cities tonight!
I, Becca, enjoyed TWO Cedar Walton Trio sets at Smoke. Highlight of first: a Strayhorn medley -- Lush Life at a clip, Daydream with a Latin feel, Rain Check with drum breaks each of which got applause. Highlight of second: Ironclad, which Mr. Walton reminded me is on is live at Yoshi's album. He said "we could play that all night." It has a wonderful ending that they cycle over and over, and evokes Ahmad Jamal. I'm a long-time Cedar Walton fan, for his clarity, commitment, colorfulness, on top of it-ness, logic. David Williams on bass, Joe Farnsworth on drums, at Smoke through Saturday. The young guys to my left were from Japan, the young woman who sat on my right for the second set from Italy.
Then in an email that I read when I got home, Duke Markos -- who's in Washington DC to record Luciana Souza for JazzSet -- wrote enthusiastically of her set, "Yes, real bossa nova. Using time and space (not quite as much time and space as Shirley Horn). No frenetic lines of notes. Thoughtful. Reflective. Spare in spots. You have to concentrate. The lyrics are central. She has a wonderful group. They step up when asked, nice interplay in the background. This is her last regular concert before she goes on her 1 year hiatus [to have] her baby."�

I wonder what you mean by maxed out settings... I could choke my card with ME3 if I forced 8x supersampling, no problem. The thing is that there is no need to, it looks fine as it is. So once again, while it's true that there are people who are upgrading like that, but it's the enthusiast market.
Its a piece of cake to force a different dpi setting without kde 4.8. This is for kdm:
A similar setting is possible for any other dm. That works even before you login.Code:DPI=100 perl -pi -e "s|(ServerArgsLocal=-br -nolisten tcp).*|\1 -dpi $DPI|" /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc
As well as you really should go look at the reviews of the current GPU hardware out there on WINDOWS REVIEW SITES, where they actually test the hardware on the most demanding titles on the market, because I noted that in some reviews cards like the HD7970 and GTX680 which are somewhere around 4x the performance of your HD4890 can't break 60FPS on them at 1920x1080 even without Anti-Assailing.
Your card WAS high end, in 2009, 4 generations ago(HD5870, HD6870, HD6970, HD7970), now it's lower midrange for the Windows market as the 2009, the HD5770/HD6770/HD6790 are just as fast as the HD4870 and HD4890 as it was just a voltage tweaked and overclocked HD4870.
You really should expand your information beyond Phoronix, Larabels "tests" prove nothing about what current GPU hardware can do.
The announcement I read states that 12.7 will probably be the last mainline catalyst release supporting these chipsets, and support of these chipsets will move to a new branch. And there will be at least bugfix releases for that branch.
If That includes bumping the supported kernel and xserver is beyond my knowled
If I was running a desktop GPU it's no biggie... But you saying I've got to buy a whole new notebook now? I wouldn't mind so much if AMD at least sorted out the FOSS kernel driver power management issues...
I can't get video acceleration to work period (with either FOSS or proprietary driver)... So that (UVD) is not such a big issue
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/co..._64/linux-lts/. Half of solution done.
This is the current situation on my laptop (HP 615, AMD 780GM/HD3200, Slackware -current):
Support with fglrx is fine, even if I had to patch the 12.3 to run with my kernel.
When I switch to the radeon drivers I have sloppy 2D (even fast scrolling in a browser will stutter), high CPU usage and 15°C higher CPU temperatures.
I don't care about performance, this laptop is not meant for gaming. But if they don't fix the power consumption issues before dropping support in fglrx my laptop will basically become useless for mobile use. This laptop is a little older than two years and running fine for it's intended use. I don't want to replace it now.
Also, common I should change the distro to be supported for more than a few months? Running Ubuntu? If I want a buggy system I can change to MS. Going to CentOS or Debian? Running the same software for years, without getting the chance of new features or, in the case of Debian, even bugfixes? Nope.
When the support ends for my system and AMD has not fixed the power issues on systems like mine I will not recommend AMD anymore, and I regret buying a HD6870 a few months before if this will be the case. Can I expect that support for this card ends in 2014? Probably also without having real support from the OSS drivers?
Thanks, but no, AMD.

Francois McGillicuddy anchors the Fox Sports Ohio talent rotation
Blog Entry:
March 19, 2013 10:28 AM | Author: KEVIN KLEPS
The new SportsTime Ohio logo designed by Fox Sports.
When I met Fox Sports Ohio senior vice president and general manager Francois McGillicuddy on March 7, he hadn't even been on the job for five weeks.
His wife, Deb, and three children — Patrick, 14, Hunter, 11, and Grace, 8 — were still in Charlotte, N.C., and will be until June so the kids can finish the school year.
It was obvious he was still getting a feel for everything the burgeoning regional sports powerhouse has under its wing.
It was also obvious Fox had hired a young (43), energetic, outgoing executive with a diverse background to lead one of its 22 regional networks into a new era — that of Indians baseball, still on SportsTime Ohio, but with the familiar Fox brand and feel.
If you missed
the March 18
story on McGillicuddy
, we dove into his background and Fox's increasingly significant reach into Major League Baseball, NBA and NHL television rights.
Fox enters the 2013 baseball season with local TV rights for 44 of the 90 teams in MLB, the NBA and NHL.
If you're like me, you assumed television announcers such as the Tribe's Matt Underwood and Rick Manning are team employees, but as McGillicuddy, Indians president Mark Shapiro and a Cavaliers source explained, that isn't the case.
"Some talent work directly for the team, and some talent work for us," McGillicuddy said. "It really depends on what our team partners would like."
In the Tribe's case, the TV announcers are Fox employees, and the radio team of Tom Hamilton and Jim Rosenhaus work for the club.
The Cavs' TV pair of Fred McLeod and Austin Carr, meanwhile, are paid by Fox and the team.
Aside from what most viewers would expect — the usual "bells and whistles" involved in Fox baseball broadcast, as McGillicuddy described it — not much will be different for the 2013 Indians on TV.
"The brand changes that are going to begin in conjunction with the start of Indians baseball are really just introducing the Fox shield," McGillicuddy said. "The first place we're going to see it is on Indians production, then we're going to roll it out across the rest of the network. You'll see the Fox shield associated with the brand regularly."
It will look different (see the new SportsTime Ohio logo attached to this blog), and we should assume the overall production will be improved, but the structure will remain the same.
Pre- and postgame show host Al Pawlowski will return, only "Indians On-Deck" will be called "Indians Live." (The latter word is a Fox staple for pre- and postgame telecasts.) Reporter Katie Witham is returning, and SportsTime Ohio personalities Bruce Drennan and Chuck Galeti will continue to host call-in shows on the channel.
"Indians Live"
will begin a half-hour before the first pitch
, and will serve as a 30-minute wrap-up following the majority of the Tribe's games. Galeti's "Last Call" will take over from there.
Overseeing it all will be McGillicuddy, who said he played soccer growing up and loves to golf "any time I can fit it in."
"It's been a whirlwind, but I think I'm getting my footing," he said. "The exciting thing about this opportunity is we've got great partners. I can't think of another piece of the opportunity I'm coming into that is as exciting as that. We've got great partners who are committed to the franchises, and I couldn't ask for anything more coming in."
More McGillicuddy
At the Speed network from 2006 to 2013, where he was the vice president of finance and business operations, McGillicuddy oversaw the development of a $40-million, 60,000-square-foot television production facility in Charlotte. He also played a big part in the launches of Speed HD and Speed 2. Prior to that, he was VP of finance for Rainbow Sports Networks, with whom he provided financial leadership for five regional sports networks, including Fox Sports Ohio.
"We have an outstanding team in place in Ohio, and Francois is a great addition," Fox Sports Networks executive vice president Jeff Krolik said in a statement emailed to
. "Francois has a wealth of experience working with team partners, he has a great mind for business, and he is a proven leader. He will be a terrific asset to our networks in Ohio."
Patrick McGillicuddy, the oldest child of Francois and Deb, will begin high school in 2013. He has a simple request for his parents.
"My oldest son, who you would think would be the difficult one in terms of moving (from North Carolina to Ohio), just said as long as I could find a good football team for him to play on, he's excited for the move."
Waiting on Lombardi
Browns president Joe Banner told reporters at the NFL owners' meetings
a new scoreboard won't be in place this season
. That makes perfect sense.
The new regime has a lot on its plate, and they've already made big non-personnel moves by
acquiring stadium naming rights
eliminating personal seat licenses and making a big push to improve cell phone service at FirstEnergy Stadium
The scoreboard, and maybe new uniforms, can wait a year or two.
What doesn't make sense is Banner insisting that general manager Mike Lombardi not speak to the media because "he's a lightning rod at the moment."
Banner knows a heck of a lot more about running an NFL team than you or me, but wouldn't his unpopular choice as GM be much less of a lightning rod if he was given the opportunity to meet with the media? Lombardi was very good on the NFL Network, and he was a frequent guest
on Bill Simmons' popular ESPN podcast
The logical assumption is the more Lombardi talks about the Browns, the better the fans will feel.
His harshest critics won't back off until or if his personnel moves pan out.
But he shouldn't be hidden until then.

Former Marshwood athlete in intensive care
Tuesday, October 2, 2012
ELIOT, Maine — A 2012 Marshwood High School graduate was seriously injured Saturday night after falling down a stairwell at his Bates College dormitory.
Pappas, who is on the Bates football team, played varsity football, basketball, and baseball while at Marshwood. He was the captain of the Marshwood football team, graduated in the top 10 percent of his class, and was also a member of the student government.
"Our hearts and thoughts go out to the Pappas family," Melhorn said.

Fifty years from now, everyone will agree that Karl Rove committed treason by revealing the identity of CIA "spy" Valerie Plame, tea partiers shouted the N-word at a black congressman and Duke lacrosse players gang-raped a stripper. Liberals tell whopping lies, and most conservatives can't be bothered to learn history.
In the last few days, we've heard both George Will and Charles Krauthammer, otherwise intelligent people, repeating bogus Democratic talking points about how Joe McCarthy allegedly smeared innocents with false allegations.

When students have the English-language PDF of this Brief Case in a coursepack, they will also have the option to purchase an audio version.
Flare Fragrances, a manufacturer of perfumes for women, faces a growth challenge in a difficult economic environment. CEO Joely Patterson outlines two growth opportunities for her marketing staff to evaluate. One involves launching a new scent -- and possibly separating it from the trusty "umbrella brand" that comprises Flare's other scents; the other involves deepening Flare's penetration into the drugstore channel. In Patterson's view, the firm can pursue the first opportunity, the second, or both -- but it must do something . In helping Patterson to assess the opportunities, the marketing team must consider a wide range of factors, including brand management, consumer demographics, and positioning and pricing issues. The case requires students to complete a quantitative assignment as part of case analysis.Key topics include product line management, product positioning, and new product launch.
learning objective:
1. To explore multiple considerations in generating stronger growth from a well-established consumer products business. 2. To develop quantitative skills necessary for systematic analysis and comparison of multiple growth opportunities.
subjects covered:
Distribution; Growth strategy; Market segmentation; New product marketing; Product introduction; Product lines; Product positioning; Quantitative analysis
- Geographic: United States
- Industry: Fragrances
- Event Year Begin: 2008

Lauren Caulk / NYTVF
Just like Call the Midwife, Sherlock and all the other hugely entertaining British imports before it, action-comedy series The Wrong Mans will be all the rage. Stay ahead of that inevitable cocktail party conversation when everyone shows off their knowledge of the BBC's latest cultural contribution by catching it when it premieres on Hulu this month.
Co-created by Mathew Baynton (Peep Show), James Corden (Gavin & Stacey), and director/producer Jim Field Smith (Butter), The Wrong Mans stars Baynton and Corden as two aimless government workers who are caught in a web of intrigue and danger when they answer the wrong phone call. A screening of the first two episodes closed the 2013 New York Television Festival. Baynton and Field Smith were in attendance for a post-show Q&A, while recent Tony-winner Corden was stuck filming Rob Marshall's Into the Woods. The audience responded positively to the unique tenor of the show, with pyrotechnics and laughs coming at almost the same frequency. Baynton and Corden started dreaming up the show when they were working together on Gavin & Stacey, before teaming up with their third collaborator to put pen to paper. We asked what their writing process was like. "90% unproductive, talking about stuff that's nothing to do with the show; 5% going for lunch...," Field Smith said. "And 5% working on an actual TV program," Baynton finished. But they agree that even their goofing off had a positive impact on what's on screen. "I think having the two writers also be the stars of the show means there's some sort of in-built chemistry there," Field Smith said.
Check out the trailer for The Wrong Mans below and catch the series on Hulu on Nov. 11.

Cell-based assays are useful tools to investigate in vitro responses to a variety of target compounds and cell-signaling molecules. Multiparametric measures are often desirable, particularly in secondary screening, to generate more biologically relevant data. The evaluation of multiple parameters can become quite labor intensive and time consuming if conducted in parallel, so the use of simple multiplex assays executed with automation help to improve efficiency and reduce operator involvement.
Here, we introduce an automated triplex cell-based assay application for simultaneously measuring three parameters: cell viability, cytotoxicity and apoptosis. The method combines two fluorescent and luminescent assay chemistries offered by Promega (Caspase-Glo® 3/7 and MultiTox-Fluor™ Assays) in the same assay well to extract information about viability, cytoxicity and caspase activation events. These parameters are particularly useful to define mechanisms associated with a cytotoxic profile. All dispensing steps are automated and performed using the BioTek Precision™ XS Automated Sample Processor.

10 Years Later: Remembering The Bee Gees' Maurice Gibb
Friday, January 11, 2013
Saturday (January 12th), marks 10 years since Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees died after undergoing emergency abdominal surgery in Florida. Gibb had complained of stomach pain before collapsing and being rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami Beach. He went into cardiac arrest before undergoing surgery for intestinal blockage. Maurice was the second Gibb brother to die. On March 10th, 1988, the youngest Gibb brother, Andy Gibb, died just five days after his 30th birthday from an inflammatory heart virus exacerbated by years of substance abuse.
Brothers and bandmates Barry and Robin Gibb said that they never recovered from Maurice's death, which was all the more devastating because it came completely out of the blue: "(Barry): "It was shattering to both of us. Shattering to both of us in countless ways. Countless ways. (Robin): And the speed in which it happened. . . (Barry): Yes. (Robin): It was so unexpected, because he was quite young and he'd never really been ill and it happened in such -- in matter of hours. (Barry): Yes. (Robin): And it's still. . . it's mind-blowing that from a Wednesday night to the Saturday when he died. . . nothing could stop it."
Longtime friend Elton John was among the first in the rock community to express his grief at Maurice's passing: "My thoughts on Maurice Gibb? It's a tragedy and a huge shock, and someone who I've known for a long time, the Bee Gees, and someone who's been 12 years sober, like me. For someone to go that quickly, I was really, really upset and sad."
Barry and Robin Gibb explained what they went through on a professional level following Maurice's death: (Barry): "The idea of going on without Mo, became something that was -- 'Oh, we could do that! No we couldn't. Yes we could! No we couldn't.'" (Robin): "Well, we were in shock."
Shortly before his own death, Robin Gibb spoke about the loss of his twin brother, Maurice: "Even the most ardent fans will always know a different Maurice than I did. There's a whole history and a personality that I know about Maurice, that people will never know, and t hat's the person I miss. But the music is there. He lives on with the music. And I hear the radio, when I hear a song, well then, he's still alive."
Maurice's death pretty much marked the end of the Bee Gees, with his twin brother Robin focusing on a solo career and performing a live act comprised of nearly all Bee Gees material, and older brother Barry going on to produce Barbra Streisand's album Guilty Pleasures and writing his own first country album, which has yet to be released. Although the two brothers had performed together a handful of times in the ensuing years, their future as an active group never became a permanent concern for them.
Over the years, the surviving brothers were at odds over how to officially pay tribute to Maurice and were estranged for two years over business matters and a proposed Maurice tribute show, which Barry vehemently opposed. Robin had recorded a duet of the group's "Too Much Heaven" with Paul McCartney for a still-unreleased Maurice tribute album that has been in the works for the past several years.
Barry and Robin wrote a tribute to Maurice, called Mo, for the booklet of 2005's Bee Gees One collection. Mo reads in part: "We think Mo was the middle man in many ways. He was funny, he was angry, he was gentle, he was hard, he was a peacemaker, he was a little boy living inside an ancient soul." It closed by saying, " . . . an all 'round good egg, we salute you, we love you, we will never forget you, keep in touch. Barry & Robin."
Robin Gibb died of kidney failure at the age of 62 on May 20th, 2012 after battling colon and liver cancer.
Barry Gibb is prepping for his first solo tour, set to kick off in Australia in February. The tour will salute all his brothers and feature his son Stephen on guitar and Maurice's daughter Samantha on vocals. U.S. dates are expected to be announced soon.

Crickett rifles are designed for children between the ages of five and twelve. The .22-calibre guns are lightweight, made to smaller proportions, and come in a variety of colors. For me, the innocence and potential of youth is a clear symbol of hope – and a gun, no matter what its size or color, is a symbol of death and destruction, the very antithesis of hope.
During a road trip from Ohio all the way down to Texas, I went from range to range, from gun shop to gun shop, house to house, looking for children with a Crickett to photograph. I wanted to capture them in their own environment, with their own first rifles, and see what they were afraid of.
We exist to inspire understanding of the world through quality photojournalism.

In early 2005, Martti Ahtisaari planned negotiations to end the decades-long conflict between Acehnese insurgents and the Indonesian government that had claimed thousands of lives. The "modern" phase of the insurgency by the fighters from the Free Aceh Movement that sought independence from Indonesia had persisted for some 30 years, claiming tens of thousands dead, countless wounded and tortured, as well as economic damage estimated by the World Bank at over $11 billion. In a few short days, Ahtisaari, former Finnish President and longtime diplomat active in some of the world's nastiest trouble spots, would see if he and his team could help foster an elusive accord between the bitter, distrustful parties to the conflict.

Chilean street dogs are protesters' best friends
Sunday, December 30, 2012
SANTIAGO, Chile — They don't have demands, but they're loyal to the cause and are always on the front lines of the fight. They run with protesters, lap up shots from water cannons, bark at police in riot gear and sometimes even bite officers.
"Dogs are super loyal. They stand with the people and I think they support the students," said Catalina Echenique, 17, who is planning to study psychiatry.
Two military officers in impeccable white uniforms walked out of a subway station recently as two blackened mutts followed them ahead of a crowd of young protesters who booed and shouted insults.
"I see the ritual everyday: police dogs patrolling the streets and strays watching over their territory," said Mario Guitierrez, a 52-year-old artist at the square who plans to make the protest dogs the subject of his next work.

No need to grab the passports, pack the suitcases, or stand in long airport lines to savor the flavors of Asia. Simple recipes, great ingredients, and a bit of confidence are all that's needed to create traditional Asian dishes in your kitchen.
Fried RiceTransform leftover rice, vegetables, and meat into a top-rated rice entreé in less than 20 minutes. For a fun twist and ultimate kid-appeal, serve the rice in authentic take-out boxes. You can buy them at local craft stores, or ask your neighborhood restaurant for a few extra the next time you're there. Recipe: Fried Rice
Shanghai Spring Rolls with Sweet Chili SauceCrispy party rolls don't keep you slaving away in the kitchen while guests have all the fun. Make rolls before guests arrive, and keep them warm in the oven until it's time to serve. Make the sweet 'n' spicy sauce the night before, and be sure to have extra–readers claim it's gobbled up in a flash. Recipe: Shanghai Spring Rolls with Sweet Chili Sauce
Hand-Hacked Pot StickersShallow-fried dumplings are popular during the Chinese New Year, but these festive dinner pockets are great for main dishes or fun sides all year long.The rich filling of pork, shrimp, vegetables, ginger, and soy sauce sealed in thin dough-wrappers is light and healthy. Recipe: Hand-Hacked Pot Stickers
Hot and Sour SoupVegetable-filled, flavor-packed vegetarian soup provides warmth on a cool night. The heat from the black pepper, cilantro and chili oil is delicately balanced with ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Serve with a side of wonton crackers. Recipe: Hot and Sour Soup
Sichuan-Style Stir-Fried Chicken with PeanutsMove over take-out menu, this homemade version of a traditional Chinese dish tantalizes taste buds with a burst of sweet, salty, sour, and hot flavors in every bite. Recipe: Sichuan-Style Stir-Fried Chicken with Peanuts
Shang Kimchi (Summer, or Raw, Kimchi)Pickled-cabbage graces Korean dinner tables at almost every meal. The pungent fermented flavor gets a kick of spice from Thai chili paste. Not only is the side dish packed with nutrients, but it also boasts a mere 19 calories per serving. Serve as an accompaniment to rice, soup, or lean meat. Recipe: Shang Kimchi (Summer, or Raw, Kimchi)
Vietnamese Beef-Noodle Bowl RecipePho, a popular Vietnamese beef-flavored noodle soup, combines star anise, ginger, rice noodles, beef, ginger, cilantro, and basil to produce a sweet, sour, salty, and hot dish. Serve fresh lime, chili sauce, hoison sauce, basil, and bean sprouts on the side so your guests can customize the flavor of their bowls. Recipe: Vietnamese Beef-Noodle Bowl Recipe
Sushi-Rice SaladNo need to roll-up your sleeves or pull out the rolling mat to have a sushi night. The recipe outlines details to create a flavor-packed salad, but gives you freedom to add your favorite fish. We recommend adding seared ahi tuna, miso-glazed salmon, or teriyaki shrimp. Recipe: Sushi-Rice Salad
Chinese Almond CookiesWith a buttery shortbread-like texture, these almond-flavored cookies are guaranteed to be family favorites. Let kids help by "painting" glaze on the dough and putting almond "eyes" in the cookie's center. Recipe: Chinese Almond Cookies
Green Tea Ice-CreamHistorically, Asians have coveted the healing powers of green tea for centuries. Researches link this antioxidant-rich tea to longer lives and healthier hearts. Green Tea Ice-Cream may sound like a stretch, but even non-tea-drinking-readers raved about the dessert's sweet taste and soft texture. Recipe: Green Tea Ice-Cream

lol it's funny. i haven't played this game but all these problems you guys are describing are the SAME EXACT problems from black ops 1. that's cray.Its kinda like Black ops 1.. Horrible hit markers and the lag just make matters worst.The patch for the ps3 didnt do anything to multiplayer iteself.MW3 mp was better but the maps and spawn are worst.The maps and spawns on here are horrible too.They tried to combat camping but its just 1000 alleys with 1000 routes and 1000 places you have to look in a matter of seconds and get lucky if you see some one before you turn your back..

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|GSD Shepherdess
|We use the Don Sullivan training method. Since we began using this method, we have had great success in bonding, training, and helping others.
Very interesting opinions and I myself cannot comment on what is right or wrong behaviour. I do know my dog does not like dogs coming up to me if they are loose and will come up to chase them off. People he has no bother with,unless they approach the house then he barks and barks but never attacks.
Hes greta out walking but again if we meet a dog he barks and pulls on his lead. He never had other dogs around growing up as people were afraid of him
Greetings, I'm relatively new to this forum, but posted last year when our GSD male contacted lymphoma. Dino is gone, but I have a question regarding our 5 year old female adopted last fall through the GSD rescue organization. Bella is wonderful in the house, responds to commands, but is very protective if anyone comes to the door- until they come inside. We have no issue with this behavior, but need to do something about the same behavior or worse when confronted with another dog when on leash during a walk. Lots of barking, snarling, and an apparent readiness to fight.
Obviously, we are far past puppy training, or even knowing her background. The foster people said she was very well-behaved with other dogs in the house but she has really become hard to handle around other dogs. I'm looking for any training or conditioning suggestions.

Thank you for your reply and assessment based on the circumstances. I just mentioned that it was out of working lines as it has siblings trained and actively working on police forces so it's out of dogs with good strong drives. I did mention the liability issue to her... and even told her about a person in my neighborhood who adopted an adult GSD with a bad attitude that ultimately ended up being ordered to be euthanisized after getting loose and attacking people in the area...
But I will try to pass on to her sound suggestions from anyone willing to offer them... it's not acceptable behavior to me especially out of a dog that technically is still a 'pup' at 13 mos of age.... just wanted other opinions/suggestions. thanks!
definitely fear and definitely not ok. a protective dog only watches people and doesnt bark at everything that moves. a protective dog is ok with 99% of the people it comes in contact with and will only bark and lunge and maybe bite if they feel the threat is real. my dog has barked his deep bark when startled but he's never lunged at anyone.
a fearful dog will huff and puff and bark and lunge and maybe bite at everything that its unsure about. if this behavior isnt corrected then the dog thinks that this is how i get rid of the danger. the dog thinks its ok to bite and lunge and bark because it works! it has nothing to do with working line. sounds like the dog needs lots of leadership and training. if your friend is proud of this behavior it'll just be a matter of time before she gets sued.
I'm not replying to the above, but just wanted to ask opinions on 'protective' behavior vs. shear aggressive behavior. My friend just told me, quite proudly, that her female gsd (who's barely over a year of age) charged off her couch and attacked her relative who walked in the front door unannounced for a visit. Guessing the dog has met him before, but according to my friend he is quite a big man and dislikes dogs....which she seems to feel is part of the reason he was attacked. SInce 6 mos of age the dog has shown unruly behavior....including getting 'kicked out' of pet training at a local pet store for uncontrollable barking and lunging at other dogs. I invited her to bring her pup to my basic obedience classes when she was 9 mos old as I just expected it was being an obnoxious ill mannered pup getting out of control. This is the lady's first gsd puppy (working line) and she had no experience with raising head strong pups , . Needless to say, obnoxious was an understatement. The 'pup' was clearly showing fierce aggression... barking, snarling and lunging at the end of the leash... wanting to get ahold of me. I wasn't sure if it was out of fear, or strait outright unadulterated aggression... and wasn't going to find out...So I suggested she take the dog back to her breeder/trainer for evaluation and she did. They gave her one lesson on basic obedience using a prong collar on her....she was supposed to take her back for continued work.,, which never happened.
I just think a year old pup shouldn't be displaying this kind of behavior ... and wonder if a child had walked thru the door unannounced if it would have done the same thing. Or was the 'pup' justified for attacking company walking in the door unannounced?? In general the pup has growled at people (friends) coming up to his 'mom' in the house in the past, and has also aggressively grabbed one other person by the arm it was near. I'm not in approval of this behavior in the least and wondered if others consider it 'ok'...
Fearful dog!
Thank you for your comment. It explains what's going on with my dog. Your description of the dog that shows fear is exactly what happens with my dog. She's a 13 month old female, and used to be very friendly with people and other dogs, but in the past 4 months or so I have not been able to relax while walking her downtown. Most of the times she's intent in sniffing around, more so than the passerbys, yet if she gets distracted from the smells, her behavior is exactly what you described. She has barked and jumped on people, lunging on the leash (which btw, to this day she has not yet accepted). She has been hyper from day one, and she has made a lot of progress. Used to bark at every little noise, day and night, now she only does when she actually hears people at the door, or deer, etc...
A couple of weeks ago, under a trainer suggestion, I started using the prong collar (which I've been so reluctant in trying it). Well, now on our walks, she reacts and jump on me, and nips at me. To make matters worse, now she does the same thing when I try to pet her, and a couple of times it escalated to the point that I had to log-roll her... (another bad situation I wish could have been avoided because I'm sure it didn't help her trust issues!). I had some difficulty bonding with her when I got her as a puppy. She never let me pet her and she always kept her distance from me at home. Eventually we took down some barriers, but I can still sense a big trust issue with her.
Any ideas or suggestions?
|I assume if she's trying to run away from something, it's fear. If she is actively planting herself between me and a 6'8" 300 lb guy it is clearly not fear.
I don't think anyone has really nailed it so far... so I'll give my 2 cents.
Being "Protective", in relation to how dog the majority of dog owners use it, is not a specific behaviour, or character trait that our dogs embody, rather it is a completely subjective term that we apply to our dogs - having a slightly different meaning to every individual who uses it;
"my dog barks at the postman, he's being protective"
"my dog chases foxes out of our backyward, she's so protective"
"I have a little yorky, that growls when you try to take his toy away, he's so cute when he's protective"
"defence of handler, in schutzhund, demonstrates a dog being protective of its handler"
One word is used throughout all these situations, yet each situation is different, and these dogs are reacting ways that arise from different drives - territorial defence, prey drive, resource guarding, learned behaviour/genuine pack defence
There are as many definitions of what we classify as protectiveness as there are shades of blue. But objectively speaking, to be protective is to "protect" something - to safeguard it against harm. That object could potentially be anything, from the dog itself, to a person, or an inanimate object.
Now to be fearful, is to fear something, to be "afraid" - for fear of harm to oneself.
The confusion arises from the fact that, dogs are often afraid of things that we normally would not consider it acceptable to traditionally be afraid of. Fear of heights, fast moving traffic, assault, someone aggressively yelling at you -these are all deemed acceptable, valid environmental stimuli that evoke a fear response. But things like garbage bins, vacuum cleaners, postmen - things that dogs are commonly afraid of - aren't considered acceptable.
I wanted to comment because I didn't think anyone was getting the point across strong enough - being fearful and being protective can be (depending on your definition) the same thing.
A dog cannot possibly be protective without perceiving something as threatening, whether that be a helper in schutzhund, making eye contact and cracking his whip or some jerk of an owner who takes away his dogs food bowl before he was done eating. The dog is afraid of losing something - a valuable resource, its life etc. So a protective behaviour begins with a fear response, all dogs experience some degree of fear and this is the basis of a dogs defence drive. In training a high level competition sport dog or police k9, this fear is significantly diminished as dominance and defence drives overlap > fight drive develops and like one poster in here said - you get something vaguely analogous to an "advanced play drive".
So, in essence, fearfulness and protectiveness are coming from the same place.
|Harry and Lola
|Thanks for answering. Yes I also believe medical conditions play a part in temperament changes to a dog. I'm hoping his short episode of fear and aggression is something he can get over and go back to being a happy, confident, dominant boy. Your 'trust' comments were interesting, when I think about it, he really does need to learn to trust himself again. I also have to admit, I need to trust him again. Easier said than done, however I have been exposing him to various dogs (in dog parks - hate them but they have their uses) maybe about once a week and I muzzle him (this is for my comfort). First time he has ever been muzzled, but he accepts it as though it is not there and it really has been helping both of us to trust again. He seems much more calmer and is learning to greet other dogs properly.

Peregrinator: the only way to "enforce" that kind of rule is to pick leaders who are mature enough to understand the appropriate time and place for having sex is not a Boy Scout trip. Maybe I've set an unreasonable standard. Nextgen: your standing as a current youth member gives you a unique insight that is rare on this forum. I'd love to see your opinions on a range of topics here. But you could use practice on how to present your opinions. My advice to you wasn't to stop posting, but to remove that one post to avoid the conflict that was going to come because of it. That's not a condemnation of you, but a helping hand.

I understand, and you can't get rid of me this easily. That is why I removed the post. I meant replying to some people since they don't seem to want to discus or engage in a debate. Continuing on with the topic, how is it any less perverted for two heterosexuals to have sex in front of young teen boys, then for two homosexuals? Frankly a camping trip with young boys isn't the place for sex. Anyone that does this should be banned from attending any future camping trips or scouting activities.
"But you could use practice on how to present your opinions."
This is probably good advice for most of the rest of us as well. I certainly would not direct it specifically at Nextgenscouter1, especially considering what I've read from many others over the years. (and yes, I know this
has an element of a pot calling a kettle a dark color.)
Packsaddle: my advice absolutely has an element of calling the kettle black. I remember my first few posts on the forum. Actually, I wish I didn't.
Better watch out, Sentinel, before you know it you'll be making gum-sucking noises and telling the boys as they roll their eyes, "....yep, I can remember the day when....."

Continuing on with the topic, how is it any less perverted for two heterosexuals to have sex in front of young teen boys, then for two homosexuals? Frankly a camping trip with young boys isn't the place for sex.
Of course there shouldn't be any actual sexual activity taking place in front of the boys. I think I mentioned displays of affection, which isn't a euphemism for sex. Maybe parents don't want their young, impressionable boys to see grown men holding hands or hugging around the campfire. But maybe there's a rule against actual married couples doing even that.
After watching these discussions on several different forums for years, I believe talking about sex acts in front of scouts is really a diversion to take the discussion away from the real issue. The image of knowingly living a lifestyle can have just as much an impression on youth as visually witnessing acts of the lifestyle. The real question that scares a lot of folks is: are you, as a parent, willing to risk your son experimenting with a lifestyle simply because he was influenced by the image of a scout leader? Drugs, smoking, drinking, infidelity, KKK, homosexuality. You don't think we adults have that kind of power? I can name four scouts who credit me for becoming engineers. Our relationships from our contact with scouts can certainly has power of influence. Their respect for us can influence their chooses based from their impressions of their images of us. Barry
I actually know of a few gay engineers. One of them does smoke and they all like beer but not to excess, at least not that I've seen. I doubt that any of them do drugs and as far as I know they're faithful to their partners. None of them are members of the KKK. I'd be just fine having them as role models.
If discussing sex is a diversion of the conversation it wasn't I that originally referred to Scouts overhearing "animal noises" coming from another tent. Packsaddle: I think you completely missed Eagledads point.
Eagledad, not talking about gays, and shielding your children won't make them disappear. I understand the urge to protect your children, but if your afraid that your children are so easily influenced, then they shouldn't be allowed to go on the internet or watch television. You should also home school your children, and not allow them out of the house at all. That means no sports, friends, (unless they are in the same homeschooling group) and boy scouts.
Finally, has it ever been considered that we should ask the scouts what they think? The program was created for them after all.
NextGenScouter1 ... Many parents don't let their eleven year olds on the internet or watch TV. And they often home school or not let them on the school bus. I know parents that only do sports teams thru their church or home school association.
Nextgen, scouting is an adult program to help boys develop habits of making moral and ethical decisions. And I understand you opinion of allowing anyone to influence kids. With in mind, how do you feel about the BSA requiring random background checks on adults?
Oh, I also don't think you understand about protecting our kids nextgen sense you don't have any. I also don't think you have a clue of the responsibility of protecting other peoples kids either. Nothing you have said suggest you have walked in those shoes. Barry
I hope Nextgenscouter1 will forgive me for stepping in but I have a tendency to defend students who are trying to make a point to faculty and I'm reacting under that impulse here....I can't speak for him but in his defense, I note that his lack of personal experience as a parent does not diminish his direct experience, much more recently than most of the rest of us, as one of those young persons we try to protect. And 'since' he does have that recent direct experience I respect his 'sense' regarding this issue, even if his expression of it could be more effective. He has a personal view that is worth expression and I think he should not be dismissed simply because of his youth. On the contrary, 'since' he WAS very recently one of those youth whom we might have tried to protect, I would think his view should be welcomed as a rare chance to hear from that perspective directly, rather than to foist our protective impulses simply from our own perspectives, long, long removed from the time we were that age.

I have wanted to rebrand since the day they announced the Hornets were moving to New Orleans. When I heard about the possibility of the Voodoo a couple of months ago, thought this is so great - but now it appears that it's not going to happen since we haven't heard a word about it in months. I'm so disappointed and for the first time I just as soon keep the Hornets because nothing else really works except the Jazz and that's long gone.
However, I encourage the organization to get rid of all the old bee stuff and only use the Fleur-da-bee, NOLA and the other specifically New Orleans related symbols. PLEASE get rid of that stupid looking little bee that's typically used by the national press as the symbol for our team. Also, burn the bee mascot uniform (I've blocked the name of that ridiculous "living" mascot from my memory).
Finally, change the team colors to traditional Mardi Grass colors and change the uniforms to incorporate the new colors and display the Fleur-da-bee.
One thing I think is great is having "New Orleans" on the jerseys of both home and away uniforms. Love it. Never, ever just have "Hornets".
I know the chances of rebranding to the Voodoo are probably zero, but that would be so great if it were the Voodoo winning an NBA title in a couple of years and not the goofy bees.
Saw this thread on Saintreport, the Hornets sub-forum.
I don't know who that poster is or if he's reliable, but it's something I suppose.I heard Dennis Lauscha, President of the Saints and Hornets, speak today at the Tulane Business Forum. He said to expect an announcement soon on the name change and that the NBA agreed to allow a one year wait on the name change instead of the customary two year. He did not reveal what the new name would be.
This does not conflict with anything I've heard, and fits pretty well.
I know nothing of an announcement, but if I were them, I'd try to do it before January, and the sooner the better, frankly.
I will follow up on this.
Thanks, dude.
ETA: The below was in reply to a post I must have imagined . . .
What I know was in the Voodoo article. I do not `know' anything for a fact, and if I did, I'd question it because things change. "Chouest is buying the team."
I've heard nothing to move me materially off of that point. I've heard this and that, just like you guys, but I think, really, it's Voodoo or Hornets.
I have not dug into if there are other options, etc. I wouldn't really know how, frankly. Just asking right out, guessing, is not an option.
The fact of the matter is . . . who has said we NEED a rebrand in September? Compare that to who said it in January. Now March. Now April. May. June.
See, it's just not as important. Before, some saw it as a proxy for `committment'. We don't have those questions with Tomcat, so the need decreases.
What I want to do is channel our rebrandic energy into creating a movement to rebrand the Lakers as Lakies, a la the great divide among Star Trek fans.
We will rot them from the inside.
Lakies forever!

Christ I was worried about this... enough time would pass and people would accept the name 'Hornets.' Please don't let that happen.
With purple and pinstripes from days gone by, I trumpet Hugo's name to the NOLA sky. When rebranders and posers abuse their might, beware my power, TEAL LANTERN'S LIGHT!
Forever hating the nickname, the logos, and the colors. Still backing the team I've loved since 1994.
Stolen name. Stolen colors. Stolen identity. Still the same old worthless Slobcats. Suck sludge, Charlotte.
Pointing specifically to the alleged Lauscha quote got nothing.
Thanks to all of you that replied to my recent, rambling, rebrand post. It's one of my frequently reoccurring "sport board posting" themes. Anyway, I usually post after I've had a couple of beers (just to relax) or first thing in the morning, semi- conscious waiting for the coffee to set in. Since I am as normal as I get as I write this, I really have nothing to say, but I hope we go Voodoo and thanks again for the beautiful quotes of my long post and your enlighten responses.
No problem bud, welcome to the site and post more often!
Professed ignorance.
Frankly, I believe it.
Not surprising. It's quite possible he said it and that the people available at media day (assuming you didn't talk to Lauscha because they rarely trot out those guys) just weren't aware of the fact he said it.
I could not attend, so others may know more if he showed up.

Whatever big plans you have for the upcoming months — moving to a new apartment, taking a trip to the Netherlands, disregarding societal customs at Bonaroo — cancel 'em. You'll need to free up your schedule, because the horizon promises what very well might be the most important thing to ever happen. After all, this sort of gravity must be assumed in conjunction with the cryptic messages of a prophetic voice like Kanye West, an icon whose grandeur can never be overstated. In the latest demonstration of our culture's appropriately aligned values, West has earned more than 15,000 retweets for a message he posted Thursday morning: "June Eighteen."
June Eighteen— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) May 2, 2013
Stirring. Provocative. Inspirational. We wonder, we hope, we theorize. While we await with bated breath the answer to this existential question, we revel in the mystery, chauffeuring a few possibilities through our synapses on what exactly might be going down this coming June 18th...
A new album from West
The first thought, and a likely possibility, is that West will release new tunes on this day. It's been more than two years since his last studio release, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and it's about time he graced his public with another.
A new concert tour
If not an album, then maybe a string of performances, set to kick off on the 18th of June?
The due date of his Kardashian offspring
We first learned of Kim Kardashian's pregnancy back in December of 2012. Assuming that she kept the news under wraps for a couple of months, June 18 is a feasible date for the expected birth.
The revival of the Dr. Donda West Foundation
Kanye's charity, which fought against dropout and illiteracy rates for American students, ceased operations in 2011. Maybe the music artist is kicking back up with his philanthropic efforts by reopening the institution, named for his late mother.
Waterloo Day
Among West's most well documented passions is his love for British history. Every year, the United Kingdom commemorates the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, and will perhaps this time be joined by a reverent Kanye.
The birthday of Hollywood.com Photo Director Tiffanie Graham
Little known fact: Kanye and Tiffanie are quite close. He's probably planning a surprise party, hence the nebulous message. Don't tell her.
