I know that some members here use T-touch on their dogs. I've started it with Gambit, and I'm noticing a few odd things. There is no one local who can show me hands on, so I'm making do with what I've read on the internet and seen in videos, so this might be error on my part as well.
1- While I'm massaging him, Gambit licks me pretty much constantly. He has the half closed eyes going on, and it doesn't feel like appeasement licking in my gut. Is this normal? 2-He wants to drink a lot of water right after we do it. Like, gulping at the dish, even though its down all the time 3- As soon as I finish a session with him, he get really, really, ramped up. As in scooting in circles on the bed, grabbing toys and bones that he very seldom looks at, prancing wildly. Very out of character for him. Are any of these things cause for concern? Am I doing it wrong, or is this what happens with a lot of dogs. FYIi- I haven't had a massage in years because I can't afford them. Lucky coyboy gets them nightly.
Booty Dancing In Heaven 10/13/03-9/15/12 As much as I try to be one of those easygoing 'spread your wings and fly' types, I just can't stop trying to burst people into flames with my mind. |
I actually bought the book and cards to follow. I haven't noticed the things you pointed out. Maybe your dog just has lots of energy and goes nuts when you're done because he's happy. Maybe he's licking because he likes it.
Smkie has gone to t-touch lectures and does it so she may be able to give you more insight. |
MIne usually lay there totally relaxed but not zonked out. There are many videos on utube, I watched those and it helped. Mine are excessively happy after. Maybe Gambit is just that.
What I do notice is the deep breath and sigh, and mouthing a bit as soon as i start. IF you pm me your email address I can forward you the newsletters from Patn2Paws Victor's t-touch coach. I try hard to target the pressure points that I posted in my photo gallery on here and combine the ttouch with the knowledge of those. believe it truly helped all of my dogs including Neccy.

FALL 2011 HOME PAGEEmpowering the DreamThe Columns: Alumni ReviewHonor Roll of Donors
Thanks to our readers who sent in their comments and suggestions on the summer issue's "Fifty of the top moments in the history of Tiger athletics " article.
Dr. Ronald L. Goode (BS '67, MS '69), a retired vice president of Clinical Research and Scientific Affairs at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, pointed out that we overlooked a Tiger who recorded several "firsts" in the 1950s.
"Your job of creating the Top 50 was a very difficult one, and my congratulations to your staff," says Goode. "However, how could you neglect the first-ever All-American (and two times, at that), first-round pick of the Atlanta Hawks and the first MSU player to have his number retired?" We agree.
Goode was referring to Forest Arnold, the Tiger center in 1954 who became the school's first All-American and who helped Memphis reach its first NCAA tournament game a year later, a 59-55 loss to Penn State. Arnold ranks fifth on the U of M's all-time scoring list (1,854) and third in rebounding (1,109). He is one of 44 former Tigers basketball players inducted into the U of M Athletic Hall of Fame.
Arnold, who passed away earlier this year at age 77, had his No. 13 jersey retired in 1995. He chose to enter the ministry instead of pursuing professional basketball with the then-St. Louis Hawks.
Another reader, Kim Huff ('65), offered another suggestion.
"I enjoyed the summer issue — it brought back a lot of memories!" said Huff. "In the Top 50 moments, what about current major leaguer Dan Uggla? How many baseball Tigers have been collegiate All-Americans and a major league all-star?"
Uggla is the only Tiger to have achieved that standard, according to the U of M baseball media guide. Uggla batted .379, swatted 18 home runs and hit a school-record 28 doubles during his All-America year in 2001. He is a two-time Major League Baseball All-Star (2006, 2008) with the Florida Marlins. This past season, he hit 36 homers and drove in 82 runs with Atlanta.
Another Tiger, Charlie Lea, who recently passed away, didn't achieve All-American status, but he did leave an indelible mark on Memphis and at the professional ranks. Lea, who prepped at Kingsbury High School, pitched a no-hitter for the Tigers in his lone season at Memphis in 1978. He also pitched a no-hitter in 1981 for the Montreal Expos and was the starting and winning pitcher for the National League in the 1984 All-Star Game. His likeness, in the form of a pitcher winding up to deliver a pitch, is one of two statues at the entrance of AutoZone Park, home of the Memphis Redbirds.
One of the magazine's youngest readers, 12-year-old Dakota James Kross of Pennsylvania, lobbied for "air time" for a spectacular play on the diamond in 1988.
"(The player) made an amazing over-the-wall catch during his game against the University of Arkansas-Little Rock," says Kross. "He ran full-speed as soon as he heard the crack of the bat. As the ball was leaving the park, he jumped up on the wooden outfield fence. After colliding with the wall and with his glove hitting the bushes (on the other side of the fence), he landed back on the warning track. He thought there was no way he could hang onto the ball, but he opened his glove and there it was."
The runner on third went home without tagging up, Kross says, making it easy for the fielder to double-up the runner by firing the ball to the infield.
Who is this mysterious player who made "the catch?" "It's my dad," he says. His father, Chris (MS '92), played for Memphis from 1988 to 1990 and is currently a National Park Service Ranger in Delaware Water Gap.
Another reader, M.G. Russell, suggested former Tiger distance runner Paul Bannon for the list. "He has two records from the 1970s that still stand," Russell said. "Not too many athletes have records that have stood that long."
Bannon's 28:36 in the 10k and 13:49 in the 5k, both run in 1976, are still school records. Perhaps the greatest distance runner of all time for the Tigers, Bannon also went on to win the Vancouver Marathon in 1983 in 2:19.42, one of several former Memphis athletes to win marathons, including most recently Derek Nakluski, who won the Detroit Marathon earlier this year. Bannon is now a priest in Canada.

Surely not. I doubt they'd be thick enough to get another guy coming up from 147, who has just had a big win at 147 after moving up from lower weights before that too.

Dynamic warmupBench 50 2x10, 100/190x5, 230/280x3, 320x2, 370/410/460/500/550x1Close grip bench 190/230/280x10 320x15Like I posted from the other day, the guys definitely helped me get my form in check. Worked my grip in about 2". Might be the key to victory. I also allowed myself a bit of a head lift as the weight came down. I had good success with that in the shirt so I figured I'd give it a try.I'll get to try this all out on the 30th as I am doing a charity bench event. Meanwhile, I'm sick as a dog. Hope to be better by then.

Authors: | Todd, Robert E.; Gawarkiewicz, Glen G.; Owens, W. Brechner |
Article Title: | Horizontal Scales of Variability over the Middle Atlantic Bight Shelf Break and Continental Rise from Finescale Observations |
Abstract: | Observations with fine horizontal resolution are used to identify the horizontal scales of variability over the Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) shelf break and continental rise. Spray gliders collected observations along two alongshelf transects over the continental rise in March-April 2006 and along 16 cross-shelf transects over the shelf break and continental rise during July-October 2007. Horizontal resolution varied from 1 km or finer over the shelf to 6 kmin deep water. These observations allow horizontal thermohaline variability offshore of the MAB shelf break to be examined for the first time. Structure functions of temperature and salinity, the mean square difference between observations separated by specified distances, reveal the horizontal spatial scales in the region. Exponential (e-folding) scales of temperature and salinity increase from 8-13 km near the shelf break to about 30 km over the continental rise. Just offshore of the shelf break, alongshelf structure functions exhibit periodicity with a 40-50-km wavelength that matches the wavelength of shelfbreak frontal meanders. Farther offshore, alongshelf structure functions suggest a dominant wavelength of 175-250 km, but these scales are only marginally resolved by the available observations. Examination of structure functions of along-isopycnal salinity (i.e., spice) suggests that interleaving of shelf and slope water masses contributes most of the horizontal variability near the MAB shelf break, but heaving of isopycnals is the primary source of horizontal variability over the continental rise. |

iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy s3?

The iPhone 5 will be the best selling phone in Q4, moreso than the GSIII. The iPhone sold more than 8 million units in Q3 even though the phone was released 9 days before the end of the quarter...It makes sense, as the GSIII isn't as new as it was, and the iP5 is newer.
Finally, the stats show that 80% of smartphone content spending ($$$) happens on iOS. It's just a difference in markets. Some Android users are power users who spend on apps and content and really utilize their Note IIs and GSIIIs. That is a smaller percentage of users though than the casual users who want a cheap phone that they can check email and occasionally browse the web on (again, the spend numbers back that claim up).
Example: The iPhone rarely, if ever goes on sale. On the flip side, you can get an Android phone free when you buy a suit at Joseph A. Bank clothier. It's largely different market segments.
One reason all that spending occurs over iOS is because Iphone users have to pay for many things that are free on Android or built into that operating system.
And I don't buy that the market segments are largely different; its just that Android competes on multiple levels and tiers (with multiple manufacturers) while Apple is pretty much only premium; hence the premium Apple users pay... Same with the PC market. Apple has always demanded a premium and avoided the discount model. They almost went out of business doing so, but now find themselves in an enviable position; won't last forever (just ask Microsoft or IBM)...
However, Samsung certainly competes directly with Apple and are approaching similar profit margins and with a much broader portfolio of products.
But don't get me wrong; I'm glad an American company can and does dominate in a given sector. However, monopolies are not good...

First up: Fiona's roller-coaster life. At the beginning of this episode, Fiona seemed happy -- until Drew broke the news that he was moving out. I get why she doesn't want a roommate (I feel the same way about living with strangers), so that left Fiona one option... getting a job. I doubt Juwanna Juice is her dream job, but I'm glad Dave hooked her up.I loved Fiona's #FormerRichGirlProblems hashtag, but anybody with a public Twitter account needs to be more careful about their GPS settings. C'mon, Fiona! The world doesn't need to know the exact location of your home, school, and job!
We don't know for sure that the creep who broke into her apartment is someone who saw on Twitter that she wouldn't be home, but it seems like a definite possibility. (I screamed when the robber grabbed her. That was so scary.) I really hope they catch the guy, because otherwise, I'm sure Fiona is going to have trouble sleeping at night. Maybe she should get a roommate, just to have someone else around? What do you think?
Can we discuss Dallas and this whole "truth delay" thing?
I've never been a Dallas fan, but he seems to really like Alli. They would make a cute couple, but doesn't Alli deserve to know that he has a kid? When Drew told Dallas not to tell Alli about that just yet, I made a VERY skeptical face at my TV. I don't believe in Drew's "truth delay" theory. In my opinion, by delaying that conversation, Dallas is basically lying to Alli. When he put all those Christmas lights up to impress her, I feel like he was kind of messing with her head. (Rocky's a cutie, though, right? I hope we see more of him!!)
Meanwhile, Zig is having a tough time.
I understand why he feels responsible for Cam's death, but he has to let go of that guilt and move on with his life. I don't understand why he thought throwing trash on the French teacher's car would help anything, but I'm glad he talked to her about what happened with Cam. (This episode gave me some flashbacks to high school, because I was in French Club, and we had a lot of little events like the one Zig and Damon are helping out with. I'm suddenly craving a cream puff!)What did you think of this episode? Don't miss "Karma Police, pt. 2," Friday at 9pm et.

Degrassi Wrap-Up: Ray of Light, pt. 2
Posted on 03/08/2013 by LisaWhat did you think of the newest Degrassi episode, "Ray of Light, pt. 2"? If you missed it, watch it here before you read any further.
I feel like so much happened during this episode, and it made me cry at least three times. Below are my thoughts on the latest Degrassi storylines. Please share yours in the comments!
So much happened with Eli! I got all stressed out on his behalf during his NYU interview. (I went to NYU, but I never had to do an interview like that, because I transferred in.) When he talked to the interviewers about being bipolar, I was proud of him for being so honest -- and I loved when the interviewer lady complimented Romeo & Jules. I think Eli would like living in New York City as much as I did, so I'm going to be so disappointed if NYU finds out he took MDMA, showered in the girls' locker room, ran through the school naked, and hugged the principal (still naked).The first time I cried was during the aftermath of that scene, in Simpson's office. I started tearing up when Mr. Simpson told Eli about the heartbreaking thing they have in common. And when Eli told Bullfrog, "Last year, it coulda been me in that greenhouse," I was a mess. It seems so unfair (and so realistic) that some people get help in time and some don't.
Later in the episode, when Eli told Clare, "Cam's not the problem. You are." I surprised myself by not crying. I think I was too shocked to cry. I never expected Eli to be so harsh to Clare. Yes, she was being pushy to get him to talk about his feelings, but I wish he could've found a nicer way to say that he needed time alone. Clare looked SO hurt when she was sitting in the window at the end of the episode. (I have a feeling I'm not the only one who felt a sudden urge to hug my TV.)
So much happened with Connor and Jenna. Jenna and Connor had plans for a second date, but then Becky tried to get Jenna to date Luke instead (What a terrible idea!!), and then Connor punched Luke, and it seemed like Connor and Jenna were probably over... until Jenna told Connor, "I had more fun on our one date than any other date I've ever been on." When I heard that line, I totally started crying again. I never in a million years thought I would like Connor and Jenna together as much as I do. They make me want to build a cardboard space capsule in my living room. : )
And so much happened with Katie and Jake. I am so glad that Katie decided to talk to the therapist, because it really seemed to help. I don't think trying to tear the garden blockade down was her smartest idea ever, but maybe all she and Jake really needed was detention together? It gave her a chance to really apologize, and it seemed like he was ready to hear it. When Katie said "You were the best boyfriend I ever had, and you didn't deserve what I did to you," I started crying AGAIN. And when Jake pulled out that flyer about the soccer coach job, I was so happy to realize that he'd been thinking about her, too.I'm glad Katie decided to go for it, because the scene where she kicked a soccer ball around with Maya, a.k.a. "Chicken Little," was so cute.
Of course, the video yearbook made me tear up. (You can watch that video online right here.) I'm a sucker for nostalgia!This felt like such a life-changing episode for so many people. I really liked Ray of Light (except for the Eclare pain), even though it made me cry a whole bucket of tears. What did you think? Did you cry a lot at this one?
Degrassi Wrap-Up: Ray of Light, pt. 1
Posted on 03/04/2013 by LisaLet's talk about Friday's Degrassi! If you haven't seen "Ray of Light, pt. 1" yet, watch it here. *Spoilers Below*
Friday on Degrassi, Eli went to a party, Maya went on stage, and Connor took Jenna to space. SPACE!
I understand why everyone's worried about Eli. Clare and his other friends are only trying to protect him, but by trying so hard not to upset him, they're only making things even worse for Eli. I appreciated when the psychologist told Eli he doesn't have to talk about it if that's not helpful for him. I wish Eli could've found a way to make it clear to Clare ("clear to Clare," that's fun to say, haha) that what he needed most was a fun date with her. I love Clare, but in this episode, her big concerned eyes were starting to stress me out.I know Eli really needed a distraction, but MDMA seems like a dumb choice. I wish he could've just gone to the party and painted. I don't care if it sounds dorky -- creative projects always help me feel better. (I understand that the video yearbook is a creative project, too, but that one is so tied up in memories of Cam.) By the way, I saw a lot of Talia hate online after Friday's episode. I don't hate her, but I do wish she hadn't offered Eli drugs. *Sigh*
Will Jake and Katie get back together? I'm thinking no. Marisol's attempt to reunite Jake and Katie made me sigh, too. I think anyone who has ever been a part of an awesome foursome of couple-friends understands the impulse, but the reality is: Eventually, it's gonna end. Crying about it just makes it harder for everyone to move on with their lives.I don't think Katie's in any shape to be dating anyone right now. What happened in Vegas definitely didn't stay there for her. She seems so messed up over the choices she made on that trip. When she tried to "protect" Maya at Little Miss Steaks, she's lucky that manager guy didn't call the police. She assaulted him! Not cool, Katie.
Meanwhile, Jenna and Connor? I didn't see that one coming (except, you know, in the promos, haha). At first, she looked so reluctant to go on a date with him, but maybe it's good that she had low expectations, because it left room for her to be pleasantly surprised. That date with Connor is one she'll remember forever, and sharing a first kiss in space? Seriously cute. I feel like Jenna has enough life experience to appreciate what Connor has to offer. I hope this actually becomes a thing.What did you think of this episode?
