Pressure off, Anderson looks to rebound
Former No. 1 prospect starting fresh after last season's bump in the road
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Boston Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis said recently he understands that there are younger players in camp who may be bigger and stronger and also want to take his job.
He's right.
That's just part of the natural progression of life in sports. Youkilis will turn 31 on March 15, and when he glances around at all the young prospects in Red Sox camp, it doesn't take him long to notice the talented players around him.
I do think he is way better situated to have success. He had to grind through last year, and now he's showing up, and when he's swinging, he's grunting. I think you're going to see a more improved, productive player. Even defensively, I just believe it's his time to start being a player." -- Red Sox manager Terry Francona, on first base prospect Lars Anderson
Still, he's not about to give up his job any time soon.
When that time comes, the Red Sox believe they could have the right person to replace the All-Star first baseman, as long as Lars Anderson continues to develop in the minor leagues (and the team doesn't make a deal for Adrian Gonzalez). The 22-year-old Anderson stands 6-foot-4 and tips the scale at 215 pounds. He's a big left-handed hitter whom the Red Sox project to be their first baseman of the future.
Getting there will be the hard part.
Boston selected Anderson in the 18th round (553rd overall) in the 2006 draft, and he began his pro career at Class A Greenville in 2007. He hit .288 with 10 homers and 69 RBIs in 124 games for the Drive that season before being promoted to high-A Lancaster. Anderson played the final 10 games of the season and hit one homer with nine RBIs. In 2008, he played 77 games in Lancaster and posted a .317 average with 13 homers, 19 doubles and 50 RBIs before he was promoted to Double-A Portland. Anderson's progression continued to impress the Red Sox's baseball operations staff, as he recorded a .316 average with five homers and 30 RBIs in 41 games for the Sea Dogs. If the hype surrounding him was big at that time, it grew by leaps and bounds during the offseason before 2009.
Anderson attended the rookie development program in Boston that January, and was the talk of the town as he got a firsthand look at what it would be like to play for the Red Sox. There was even more anticipation once Anderson participated in his first big league camp last spring. He played a total of only four games (five at-bats) for the Red Sox during Grapefruit League games, and manager Terry Francona was able to get a good look at him.
When camp broke, Anderson was assigned to Portland, where the cold climate and frigid nights made the early part of the season tough for the California native.
For the first time in his career, he dealt with adversity and struggled on the field. He played the entire season with the Sea Dogs and posted a .233 average with nine homers and 51 RBIs in 119 games.
"He made some very big strides," said his Double-A manager, Arnie Beyeler. "He had some adversity and handled it very well. It's better he has that down with us instead of when he gets to the big leagues. That's part of player development. He's matured from it, and we have to remember he's still a young kid. For a person to be 20 years old and to have the kind of year he had in Double-A, being his first full season there, we'll take it and move from it."
Part of that learning process was being the No. 1 prospect in the Red Sox's organization, according to Baseball America. All the attention was on him. He played first and hit in the middle of the Sea Dogs' lineup all season long.
"I'm sure people would have liked to have seen better numbers, but a lot of times we get a little too caught up in the numbers," Beyeler said. "It was a good development year for him. He learned a lot of things."
But only a few weeks into the regular season this past April, Anderson suffered an oblique injury that nagged him for the remainder of the season.
"I had one of the most annoying injuries of my career," he said. "I hurt my oblique for the first few months, and it was so hard to kick. It was really, really annoying. I didn't feel very injury-free, but I played a lot. Everybody plays with injuries; it's nothing new."
Anderson was able to grind through it, but he quickly learned a lot about himself, his abilities and the pro game.

"Every player is going to struggle at some point during their career," said Red Sox director of player development Mike Hazen. "Whether that's in the big leagues or the minor leagues, it's about processing that the right way and going out and continuing to get better every day. Everything we've seen from him this year, he seems to process it really well. We'll see what happens when the games start, but he's done a really good job to put himself in great shape. Physically he's had a good camp so far, and it's exciting to go out and watch him play again. All the talent is there; it was there all year last year. He just had some ups and downs. Hopefully this year he'll be able to string it along a little bit better."
Even Francona has seen a big difference in Anderson this spring.
"I do think he is way better situated to have success," Francona said. "He had to grind through last year, and now he's showing up, and when he's swinging, he's grunting. I think you're going to see a more improved, productive player. Even defensively, I just believe it's his time to start being a player."
The title of No. 1 Red Sox prospect no longer belongs to Anderson. Outfielder Ryan Westmoreland owns that distinction this season. In fact, Anderson is quite happy the focus is off, and he's hoping to fly under the radar this season.
"It's not something that I've consciously pondered, but I think subconsciously I have," he said. "Well, I guess if it's subconscious, then I don't feel subconscious anymore. I do feel it. Maybe subconscious is not the right word. Maybe I feel that underlying sense of relaxed feeling."
What are you trying to say, Spicoli?
"I don't know what I'm saying," Anderson said. "I really can't speak English before 9 o'clock. Basically, there's an underlying sense of calm that I didn't have last year."
During his struggles, Anderson attempted to convince himself that they were part of his development and tried not to get caught up in the ups and downs.
"You try to think of it that way, but I got caught up in emotions because I was attached to success or failure, so that was tough," he said. "You try to remind yourself that this is a process, a marathon as opposed to a sprint. When you're scuffling, or doing really well, it's hard to keep that perspective."
It's too early in camp to know where Anderson will start the season. If he doesn't start the year at Triple-A Pawtucket, it won't be long before he reaches that level in 2010.
"Whatever level I'm at, I just want to be in the place that's best for me," he said. "I trust these guys, and I trust myself to make the best of the opportunity no matter where it is."
If Anderson can produce on a consistent basis, maybe it won't be long before Youkilis has to look over his shoulder. It remains to be seen whether Anderson will reach that point, but the Red Sox organization is confident he will.
"He's a very positive kid, and he works very hard. I think he's put last season behind him. He's working really hard and playing really well this spring," Beyeler said. "The pressure is off, and he can keep developing."

Lola amazed me. I love floral scents , bouquet not just single flowers. Still, sometimes the mixtures smell similar mainstream.
This is not the case with Lola, to me it smells a little powdery oriental, but the flowers predominate, to me it is sweet, but perfectly and not too sweet. I think I smell the wonderful violets out.
Definitely one of the scent surprises to me.

A few fall blooming bulbs
I've had all of these for some time now, but this is the first bloom for all of them so thought I'd post some pics, even though they are not the best. Hope you like them :o) Dan
Stenomesson incarnatum (I'm pretty sure the taxonomy nerds have now moved this in to Clinanthus and also changed the species name, but this is what I got it as). This is a South American native:
Scilla maderensis: I got seeds of this reportedly rare species from Madeira Island off Portugal a few years ago and the largest bulb has finally bloomed (it is a winter grower as you might expect based on where it is from):
Massonia echinata from South Africa and also a winter grower:
How interesting. I like pictures of the more exotic bulbs, even if I can't grow them outside in my zone. Do you have a greenhouse? Are these in containers then? I sure would like to have seen the whole plant if you take any more pictures. If not, thanks for taking the time to post the flowers at least. The colors on the Clinanthus are especially beautiful.....Maryl
Glad you liked them Sue!
Al, My Nerine really do not bloom for me well here, but I routinely get N. krigei to bloom and this year I had two N. huttoniae bloom as well so it was a good year.
Mary, the Clinanthus flowers from a bare bulb so not much to show. The Scilla actually has nicely spotted leaves which is one of the ways to make sure you have the correct species. I do not have a GH, but I wish I did! I have them all in pots and the winter growers go under lights for the winter. At some point I would love to have a GH where I can have them planted in the ground to enjoy. It makes it a lot of work as I have maybe 100 or so winter growers, but it is fun to look at them all while watering, etc. :o) Dan
Thanks for the nice words. At some point I would like to buy a nice camera with macro lenses, etc to take pics like I used to when I had an SLR of the film variety, but for now I use my daughters old point-and-shoot which is a big step up from mine that is for sure! I keep thinking one of the new micro 4/3 since they have interchangeable lenses, but that would be a hassle when you are traveling and it is hard to justify 2 cameras I suppose.
I am just a hobbyist like most of the rest on GW. Someday I will have a Greenhouse, but not while I have kids in college for the next 7 years that is for sure. I have loved plants/animals since I was very little and got in to classes over the summer 2 years before I was supposed to be allowed to take them because of my interest. We used to collect caterpillars, snakes, turtles, etc. and feed them for the summer before letting them go. I had my first bonsai that my dad got me when I was around 10 (long since gone) and planted/tended the family garden around that same age just because I enjoyed doing it and being outside. In other words; total nerd!
Some of my bulbs I get from friends in trade, but the majority are from importing, which I have been doing for a decade now, as that is the easiest way to get large bulbs of unusual species. I typically organize buys from places like South Africa for a group of like-minded people as that way we defray the costs and everyone gets something different. I just put in a group order for some rare Haemanthus, Gethyllis, Crinum, Strumaria, Massonia, Boophane, etc. so hopefully they will arrive before we get too cold. Anyway, that is my story :o) Dan
Sounds like you got bit by the gardening bug when young and the "infection" spread. I did a little research on the Clinanthus family, hoping that I could figure a way out to grow one. Alas, it reportedly likes a cool climate coming as it does from the elevations of Peru. Also I don't have grow lights available for any more plants. Still, thanks so much for introducing me to it. I hope you get a Green House some day and then won't we have fun-lol!!...Maryl
Here is a link that might be useful: Clinanthus
I do not think you will have a problem with Clinanthus in terms of growing season length and therefore artificial lighting. Mine is totally dormant now as are the rest of its relatives (Stenomesson and Phaedranassa). I wake them up around March or they wake up on their own and then when it finally warms up they go outside in maybe 8 hrs/day of sun and they simply go dormant when the days get too cool. The biggest problem for me is that they are not the most reliable bloomers so unless you have the extra space to try one you may want to go with something that blooms more routinely (maybe because we are too hot and humid as you point out). Glad you liked it :o) Dan

Are these truly pine bark fines?
I do not remember the brand name but they say "Pine Bark Fines", ingredients 100% forest product, and came in a 1.5 cubic feet bags at the Lowes by me.
They are a lot different then same of the other products I've seen suggest for use as "pine bark fines" so I am wondering if they are really pine bark fines or its another case of mislabeling.
Do you still have the bag with the label? If it actually said pine bark fines, that is what it should contain. But, no one else on this forum has reported being able to buy a product labelled PBF at Lowes in any of the hundreds of posts I've read over the past few years here. Forest product is not the same as PBF. It looks like overly composted bark to me. I don't think it's dirt or soil, although it may contain some of that if it's forest product. I would keep looking if I were you.
I'm looking at this photo but it's hard to tell exactly what it is. The material looks very wet and heavily composted. The term "forest products" could be literally anything. Dirt, sapwood, bark, etc.
Personally I think I would look for something else. If this is your only option you could try it but no telling what this material really is. If you find actual pine bark, you will know it.
I'm attaching a photo of unscreened pine bark, directly out of a bag I used recently.
Hope that helps.
Weird, I got Seysonn reply on May 30 and jutsFL today. :-/
This is the bag that caused my confusion.
Here is a link that might be useful: Lowes Website calls the brand
I use Agway's Pine Bark Mulch when I want a mix that drains really good but it takes me awhile to screen it - I keep stopping to try and pick out all the sapwood :-/
The one from Lowes is smaller so I haven't bothered to screen it - I have a tomato in it who seems to be doing better than the one I have in a mix with Agway's Mulch.
And this is how the stuff from Lowes looks dried out some:
Very interesting. The photo of the stuff on the Lowes website looks just about perfect. And the label is just as you say. But the photo you showed and the one reviewer's comment suggest it looks more like dirt. So it is very composted. That's not really a major problem, though. I think I would use it if I couldn't find anything better. But if you do, leave out the peat and maybe double the perlite.


text: Zoo, I didn't write this post to start a riot. You are right, I probably wouldn't have felt bad if the others line was short....it was because we were in the short line so we noticed it more. Tiana is not my daughters favorite and I'm ok with that. I just wanted to get others views on why her line was so short.

Room service was a huge disappointment, both days out breakfast orders were incorrect. Also, no coffe maker in the room due to a recall on the machines. They should have a complimentary coffee service included in the room until issue is resolved.

We ordered the most expensive and spacious room in order to rest after the hard and long trip to the jungle. We did get the room which was in general OK and answered our expectations except one thing - the bathroom smelled SO BAD, like somebody was dead there for a long period of time and was decomposing. The stuff tried to eliminate the smell but it was impossible. Of course, we asked to change the room. The room was changed, but the new room was much-much of lesser value - on the first floor, with no privacy, not the same cleanliness and did not meet our expectations due to the price we have payed. We understand, that maybe it's not hotel's fault entirely, but since we literally had no energy to fight over it after much travelling we just left it as is. In general the stuff was very welcoming and english-fluent (which is not trivial in Peru), helpful also. But they didn't succeed to resolve our problem to our satisfaction and we still were charged the full amount of money, without any try to compensate the mishappening. That's why I feel I cannot rate them high.

We stayed at this hotel twice during our trip to Peru, once for two nights and then just for the day we were flying out, as we had a long layover and needed to rest... we were very happy with the level of service provided and the overall charm of the hotel itself. Being an old building and a humid climate, there was a very musty smell in the rooms, especially in the armoire, so much so we did not use it. Overall, I would definitely stay there again! The staff is great and always available to help in any way possible!

This is an excellent hotel, especially if you like the "old style" atmosphere. Very quiet but conveniently located, close to the sea and to animated areas. The common areas are quite nice and comfortable, the employees friendly and helpful. I will come again.

holy B-movie list batman!
Decent movie, not as good as the book but decent nonetheless; Rod Steiger is good in it. I'm surprised more of Bradbury's stuff hasn't been adapted to film to be honest, The Ray Bradbury Theater show was pretty good an dneeds to get a seasonal release on DVD.
Looker's a fairly decent Michael Crichton movie, though I still think Coma is his best film as director.

I never saw The Illustrated Man. It was my favorite book growing up though.
I'd like to the see The Illustrated Man and Looker released on DVD, but yeah, outside of those two none of those really do anything for me either. I'm still waiting on Warner to release Sydney Pollack's The Yakuza with Robert Mitchum and Ken Takakura; excellent film that is long overdue on DVD.
Is that it? I guess I'll vote for "Get to Know Your Rabbit", but I'm not all that excited about any of those.

The field of English has responded to the theoretical challenges of deconstruction, feminism, Marxism, psychoanalysis, and New Historicism; it has tried to make sense of the postmodern and postcolonial present; it has watched its anthologies grow as definitions of "texts" have become more inclusive. Exciting changes are now happening in English study as it becomes more varied and diverse.
Given the dynamic re-imaginings of the field, the Truman graduate program in English offers you flexibility and possibility. Truman's English Master of Arts program "grows naturally out of the philosophy, values, content, and desired outcomes of a liberal arts education," as expressed in the University's mission statement.
Our graduate faculty have expertise in many areas of study (and quite a few quirky interests as well). The Master of Arts in English offers not only a breadth of exposure but also an opportunity for in-depth exploration in one corner of the discipline you find useful and fascinating. We assist you in finding your niche — whether in linguistics, literary theory, pedagogy, a particular literature, or creative writing.
The personal attention each student receives is also central to our program. Each student works closely with a faculty advisor; this strong bond between advisors and advisees is essential for graduate students tailoring their own course of study.
Selected candidates who show exceptional promise in college teaching may compete for teaching stipends. As apprentice teachers, you'll work closely with a mentor to hone your professional techniques and shape your philosophies of teaching and composition. Few graduate programs offer such opportunities on the MA level. Truman helps you build professional competence and get a head start on valuable experiences.
Our program offers a variety of courses in literary theory, composition theory, creative writing, and linguistics (and additional coursework for the graduate teaching assistants). We also offer advanced courses with rotating topics based on needs and interests. At Truman, you'll have the opportunity to deepen your reading and research, contribute to scholarship, and gain personal and professional confidence to face whatever comes next.
For more information on our Master of Arts in English program, contact Alanna Preussner, Professor of English.

Wage Subsidies For Institutions Will Minimize Fiscal
Wage Subsidies for Institutions will Reduce Fiscal
Near the end of the year, was not wander in front of more than 3,000 people involved in the interests of the institutions of wage reform on the agenda again.
Currently, the Code Office, the People's Insurance Department and other relevant ministries are speeding up the development of "pay for performance system for job and institutions", developed in conjunction with this document there is a "classification of the views of promoting the reform of institutions." These two documents will be the next institutions guiding document for wage reform.
It is understood that some ministries have been related to the deployment of the State Council, its affiliated institutions in the asset inventory, financial control, allocation of the transfer, staffing and other aspects of their job. This is after the introduction of the above two documents, in full swing to prepare for wage reform institutions. China has about the cause of more than 1.26 million units, employing more than 3000 million, 70% were technicians. These institutions can be divided into "public participation (ie, the civil service)", "full funding", "financial subsidies," "self-supporting" four categories.
Informed sources said that the reform process in advancing the wages, "financial subsidies," the public institutions receive financial support will be reduced gradually, and "self-supporting" unit will be the ultimate cause of the market, but not before , will still get a certain "transition." And "public participation" and "full funding" class institutions, the relatively short term "insurance." In addition, some institutions will also be restructuring or divestiture.
Informed sources said that the Central Commission Office, the People's Insurance Department and other relevant ministries are speeding up the development of "pay for performance system for job and institutions" and "classification to promote the views of the reform of institutions", two documents may be put together. This means that, overwhelmed by public institutions of wage reform, the reform itself will be synchronized with the business forward.
According to sources involved in wage reform, some involving national security, policy and economic management have a clear supporting role, and the obvious social welfare institutions for the property, will continue to be financial security; the current wage distribution of these institutions are mostly to "the civil service" and "full funding" in the form of access, however, belongs to agen bola the national ministries and institutions, the proportion of the minority. For some of the prominent business, mainly in trade or professional business oriented institutions will continue to receive financial aid. Wage income of such institutions mainly in the form of financial subsidies available.
But for some wage income, "self-supporting", the main face of the market, and has been the cause of doing business units will support the relevant ministries, as soon as the market. In addition, some functional overlap, long-term losses, subject of small business unit assignments will be re-packaged or completely stripped.
In addition, to further standardize the payment of allowances and subsidies for public institutions is still a focus of reform. Allowances and subsidies for wages and institutions is one of the components. But in 2006 the Ministry of Personnel issued a "business unit staff on the income distribution system reform program", and did not make provisions for the issuance of allowances and subsidies. This has also allowed wage allowances and subsidies for public institutions to become another subtle but important revenue source of income.
China Institute of Personnel Research Office, He Fengqiu wages and benefits that the current subsidies for public institutions subsidized complex, large differences in the proportion of total revenue. How reasonable allowances and subsidies for job performance specifications into a unified wage system, the same time but not so trigger a new conflict is resolved to be examined.
People's Insurance Department, said stakeholders, institutions, wage reform, the ultimate goal is to try to push the market into class consulting company. But the source said, this is an ideal model, take a long time.
Reform Difficulties
Currently, the State Department a total institution directly under the Academy of Social Sciences Chinese Academy of Science 14, with the SASAC, the Ministry of Science and other related ministries and 29, Taxation, Trade and Industry Bureau and other agencies directly under 18, and the management of the International Bureau ministries 10. In these agencies below, are basically related businesses, ranging from the number of units. The wide range of large-scale institutions that wage reform as the difficulties of this reform.
In fact, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Academy of Social Sciences in 2008 was elected to the pilot wage reform. Two years has passed, these two "pilot" the wages of agen bola public institutions to promote the reform is still difficult.
December 1, Academy of Social Sciences, told people that the courtyard is the basic wage reform has stopped, can not be promoted. The source said, because the Academy of Social Sciences to stop the Department for the people of "one or more researchers, more than 60% the proportion of jobs," this requirement has not been approved. He said the posts and salary is not the key, the key is the top level of the staff unable to settle down, the following is not good to do.
Even in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to promote the wage reform was only remain in the posts and salary level, and how should the performance assessment, related to allowances and subsidies for the reference standard has not been clear view.
Because of institutional legacy reasons, including the National Development and Reform Commission in charge of Science and Technology, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Finance and other ministries and institutions under the Scientific Research salary costs. This right, inherited from the former State Science and Technology. Each year, the Ministry of almost all ministries has to belong to the scientific research institutions of the expenses unified calculations, and then reported to the Ministry of Finance for funding.
Ministry sources said the situation in recent years, the State Council ministries and commissions set of thin, but appropriate institutions have expanded year by year. Ministry of example only, after the 1998 reform of the State Council, Ministry of Science and affiliated institutions only two or three, one has now grown to nearly 10. Currently, the annual Ministry of Science and the State Council ministries and commissions related to calculations from the wages of public institutions such as expenses have nearly 500 million. A decade ago, was only the size of several billion.
Ministry sources said in Salary reform should promote, or eat the financial, only burden heavier. For those who profit ability, and can make money institutions should be spun off to market. But he also said that the market simply can not do in one step.
In fact, most ministries and institutions are not optimistic about the current round of wage reform, some ministries and institutions responsible person of a forecast, "This round of reform will remain stillborn."

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I'm pretty sure most people already have a small, handheld device in their pocket which can do all of those things, and more, and which has a better screen, better connectivity, more storage, and far better support.
Do they have them for $100?
Seriously, I could think of a few things to do with this, and I'm not all that creative.
Wikipedia in a hand-sized device (although there was that other Wikipedia handheld thing), basic word processing, email and webmail, Telnet / SSH access... Hell, it's running linux, so you could have all kinds of useful utilities on the silly thing as a sysadmin.
Yes, most First World Geeks (and some Second World Geeks) have PDAs and Smartphones, but for underprivileged geeks? Young hackers (in the correct sense of the word) interested in learning basic computer/electrical engineering and code modification? I couldn't afford an iPhone when I was a kid (still can't, really) but this? I could have swung this and had an absolute ball mucking about with it.
Yes, it's not a Smartphone. But it's nothing to just scoff at.

Lolita Table Lamp is best represented by the designer himself. "Who is afraid of pink? My imagination chases female archetypes intentionally. Frivolous, even naive objects are my favorite victims. And when, during such a process, I manage to be creative in an evidently reserved way. I then touch the purest meaning of my work and frivolity becomes timeless elegance. Lolita is here to play with your emotions. She is here to break your everyday routine."

It was time to start the journey home so we headed across to the airport and checked in before heading to the virgin lounge. We grabbed some dinner and drinks, wrote up the blog and soon enough it was time to board. With the mixture of eating, film watching and sleeping, the 13 hours passed quick enough and we were soon landing in LHR.
After arrival we made our way ...
Early start, 6am flight!

The African nation of Guinea has banned the sale and consumption of bats in order to prevent the spread of the deadly Ebola virus, Health Minister Rene Lamah says. Considered a local delicacy, the consumption of bats appeared to be the "main agents" for the Ebola outbreak in the south.

Keywords: Bats, Guinea, Ebola, ban, bat eating
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Sixty-two people have now been killed by the virus in Guinea. There are also suspected cases reported in the neighboring countries of Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Ebola, a deadly "body melt" contagion that dissolves internal organs is spread by close contact. There is no known cure or vaccine. Symptoms include internal and external bleeding, diarrhea and vomiting.
No child need ever go to bed hungry -- go here!
Ebola kills between 25 percent and 90 percent of victims, depending on the strain of the virus, according to the World Health Organization.
The current outbreak is the first time Ebola has struck Guinea. There have been recent outbreaks thousands of miles away, in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Lamah announced the ban on the sale and consumption of bats during a tour of Forest Region, the epicenter of the epidemic.
People who eat the winged night creatures often boil them into a sort of spicy pepper soup. The soup is sold in village stores where people gather to drink alcohol.
Other ways of preparing the bats to eat include drying them over a fire.
Certain species of bat found in West and Central Africa are thought to be the natural reservoir of Ebola, although they do not show any symptoms.
The charity Doctors without Frontiers has set up two quarantine sites in southern Guinea to try to contain the outbreak.
Health authorities are receiving help from the WHO while messages are being broadcast on national television to reassure people.
In the meantime, Sierra Leone's health ministry said it was investigating two suspected cases of Ebola.
"We still do not have any confirmed cases of Ebola in the country," its chief medical officer Brima Kargbo says.

Does this mean my cat hates dogs?
My cat has rarely ever seen a dog. Only two occasions -- my brother brought over his small malti-bichon. This dog lives with two cats and totally ignores them. I expected my cat to run and hide. Instead he hissed and stalked him. Then parked himself about 12 feet away and just stared at him.
The other day we put my neighbors cocker spaniel puppy up to the window where the cat was looking out. Dog did not react but cat hissed away.
Does this mean I should never get a dog? Or does it mean nothing because proper introductions were not done?
IMHO, I think you won't be able to tell until you can slowly introduce a dog and a cat over a period of time.
I have 5 cats, 2 dogs ... the 2 oldest cats were here before the dogs and don't want to have anything to do with them. They keep their distance. The other 3 cats were raised with the dogs and they are buddies with the dogs. Even when the dogs chase them.
Most cats accept dogs a lot easier than they accept other cats, though it's critically important to prevent the dog from making ANY type of overtures toward the cat (barking, growling, whining, snarling, chasing, approaching, following, or staring) until the cat has accepted and feels comfortable with the dog. If the cat wants any contact with the dog, the cat must be allowed to initiate it.
Some cats run and hide from unfamiliar dogs, while others become aggressive and set down the law right from the get-go. Your cat apparently falls into the latter category. That doesn't mean that he can't live peacefully with a dog. It just means that he'll need to set the rules and boundaries for the dog, and you'll have to make sure that the dog respects that and is not allowed to in any way retaliate. Your cat will almost certainly relax once he is convinced that he's made his point with the dog and established his place in the social hierarchy.
hehehe. That the cat is asserting itself and not running away is an easier behavior to deal with if you do get a dog, it means that your cat is curious although wary about dogs. MY friends cat did this when they first brought their chihuahuas home, and within a couple of months the dog was running from the cat!! They were best friends til the end chasing each other through the house and wrestling around.
My dog has been living with me for almost a year and a half and still my youngest cat hisses and growls at the dogneverytime she sees him. When the dog gets far enough away from her she settles down. I've also caught her stalking the dog a couple times. My cat was like yours in that she had never seen a dog before I brought one home. My other cat was a rescue and had been around dogs before. He could care less about the dog unless he gets stepped on by it.

Queen Chrysalis smiled as Celestia's lifeless corpse was levitated into a pauper's grave. 1001 years old, shame she had to die so young. But she'd gotten in the way, and had to be killed.
Chrysalis was almost surprised that Celestia had died so easily, and that the little Elements of Harmony had handed their little Tiaras over so easily. It had all gone so perfectly.
Chrysalis trotted back inside Celestia's old Castle, on which painting a darker theme had already begun.
"Cocoon?" she snarled at one of the Changelings.
"Y-yes Queen Chrysalis?" the poor colt responded, flying down and saluting to her.
"A shade darker. Hop to it!"
"Y-yes Chrysalis."

The Court of the Air (edition 2009)
by Stephen Hunt
Work details
The Court of the Air by Stephen Hunt
Gaslamp Fantasy (31)
infjsarah's wishlist (154)
I was thinking about giving this book 4 stars but really I said, "Man this book is awesome" way too many times to not give it 5 stars. It's really about action and ideas and a fully realized world. The action is almost constant and it's fun. The characters are badasses (not right away but at some point). People also die so it doesn't feel like a Disney fantasy where everything works out perfect. It's brutal and gritty and political.
All I have to say is voodoo practicing steam men and insane insect gods feeding off the still warm hearts of 1000's of humans, airships dropping dirtgas on protesting socialists and a king with no arms. I think you get.
I actually read the 2nd book in this series first The Kingdom Beyond the Waves but it didn't make much of a difference. It's not the same characters just the same world. I actually like this one more.
A note to anyone looking to pick up this book for the first time - make sure when you're reading, you devote your whole attention to it. Don't pick it up for five minutes at a time, and don't be distracted. Or else you will never quite pick up the drift of this odd story.
While it has an interesting premise, the complex land of Jackals, its inhabitants and its surrounds were poorly presented, details given rapidly and at random opportunities, leaving the reader to infer the background of the story as well as they can. The two young heros around which this story revolves meet only once in the entire book, more than 300 pages in. I found it strange that the two characters crucial to the plot have very little knowledge of each other. I also found it difficult to believe that the two worldly, well spoken and clued in orphans were only around 11 or 12 years old.
Also - I got very sick of reading the words 'the disreputable Stave'. There are other adjectives, Hunt.
2.5 stars.
Definitely needs a few explanations of some words which the author has made up....
I wouldn't really call this steampunk, but I enjoyed it a lot.
Stephen Hunt's first Jackelian novel is a big, overstuffed steampunk classic -- a Jules Verne/Charles Dickens/H.P. Lovecraft mashup -- filled with political intrigue, steam powered devices and strange magic. It's a little confusing at first, but hang in there. You don't have to understand the machines or memorize who all the political players are. That will become clear enough over the course of the book.
The two key characters are Molly Templar, the plucky workhouse girl who finds herself on the run from a dapper gentleman assassin, and Oliver Brooks, the privileged but constrained nephew of a wealthy merchant. Oliver is suspected of being 'feybreed' and therefore monitored and forbidden from pursuing a normal life.
After their respective lives are turned upside down, Molly and Oliver go on the lam. Molly is aided by the steammen -- a race of mechanical beings for whom she has a special affinity. Oliver joins up with the dubious ex-con, Harry Stave.
Meanwhile, the political landscape of Jackals is shifting behind the scenes with betrayals and new alliances. Something very dark is coming and Molly and Oliver are the only ones who can stop it.
The first in a series of novels set in the rich and colorful Kingdom of Jackals featuring airships, magic, fabulous machines and Lovecraftian horror.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0765360225, Mass Market Paperback)
When streetwise Molly Templar witnesses a brutal murder at the brothel she has recently been apprenticed to, her first instinct is to run back to the poorhouse where she grew up. But there she finds her fellow orphans butchered, and it slowly dawns on her that she was the real target of the attack. For Molly is a special little girl, and she carries a secret that marks her out for destruction by enemies of the state.
Oliver Brooks has led a sheltered existence in the backwater home of his merchant uncle. But when he is framed for his only relative's murder he is forced to flee for his life, accompanied by an agent of the mysterious Court of the Air. Chased across the country, Oliver finds himself in the company of thieves, outlaws and spies, and gradually learns more about the secret that has blighted his life.
Soon Molly and Oliver will find themselves battling a grave threat to civilization, an ancient power thought to have been quelled millennia ago. Their enemies are ruthless and myriad, but the two orphans are also aided by indomitable friends in this endlessly inventive tale full of drama, intrigue, and adventure.
The Court of the Air is a rollicking adventure set in a fantastical Dickensian clockwork universe that will appeal to fans of Susanna Clarke and Philip Pullman.

Old Order Amish Rhoda Byler's unusual gift and her remarkable abilities to grow herbs and berries have caused many to think her odd. As rumors mount that Rhoda's "gift" is a detriment to the community, she chooses isolation, spending her time in her fruit garden and on her thriving canning business.
Miles away in Harvest Mills, Samuel King struggles to keep his family's apple orchard profitable. As the eldest son, Samuel farms with his brothers, the irrepressible Jacob and brash Eli, while his longtime girlfriend Catherine remains hopeful that Samuel will marry her when he feels financially stable.
Meanwhile, Samuel's younger sister Leah is testing all the boundaries during her rumschpringe, and finds herself far from home in Rhoda's garden after a night of partying gone badly. But Leah's poor choices serve as a bridge between Rhoda and the King family when a tragic mistake in the orchard leaves Samuel searching for solutions.
Rhoda's expertise in canning could be the answer, but she struggles with guilt over the tragic death of her sister and doesn't trust herself outside her garden walls. As the lines between business, love, and family begin to blur, can Rhoda finally open up to a new life? And what effect will this odd, amazing woman have on the entire King family?

Rhoda Byler is an independent businesswoman living in an Old Order Amish world. Her family and church tolerate her unusual ways until she maneuvers a young Amish man, Rueben Glick, into admitting his infidelity to his girlfriend. That ignites Glick's determination to destroy Rhoda's business and any standing she has among not only her Amish community but with her English neighbors as well. When Rhoda finds Leah King passed out drunk in Rhoda's berry patch, her concern for the girl leads to an unusual bond. Leah's brother Samuel, who comes to retrieve his wayward sister, becomes intrigued by Rhoda and her horticultural skills. With his orchard teetering on the brink of disaster, Samuel comes up with a plan to rescue Rhoda from Glick's attacks and save his own business, too. Woodsmall (Plain Wisdom) uses this first book of a new series to introduce readers to the large Byler and King clans, along with a generous cast of peripheral characters. Her knowledge of Amish practices is evident in the details. Much is left unresolved, however, and readers will need to check out subsequent books in the series to find out what happens.
