Comments about K-Edge MTB Ring Guard For 38T:
Think of this product more as a super-light & effective outter chain "guide" as opposed to a conventional bash guard. It's so light and thin it's unlikely to take more than one real hit. But I use it in conjuction with the cyclo-cross inner 2x chain catcher on my hardtail 29er. The chain is pretty much un-dropable, no matter the terrain or how sloppy I am going from my 38T to the granny & back.
However, be AWARE if you're using a Shimano 3X crank converted to 2X with the OEM rings, you will either have to modify your "center" ring or the guard. This is because the "chain peg" on OEM Shimano ring that lines up with the crank arm hits one of the "spokes" of the guard. One or the other will need to be removed with a pair of nippers (or hacksaw) & finished off with a file. I removed the offending spoke from the guard & I'm very happy with the results.
If it wasn't for the necessary modification, it'd be 5 stars all the way.

The average live span of the Bull Terrier is 10 years. What you want to make sure is that the dam and sire of your pup has gone through all the health tests needed and have longevity in their pedigree's. Since you already have your pup, what I would suggest is to make sure you feed her a high quality grain free dog food, make sure she stays at a healthy weight, but do not over-exercise her at a young age. As well as get a check up done with her once to twice a year with a vet.5/21/2015 7:40:11 PM
The Bull Terrier has a strong prey drive, but if raised with a cat as a pup then the dog should do fine. Make sure your cat has plenty of high-up places to get away from the puppy so that the cat and pup can have their own space.4/29/2015 8:50:29 PM
AKC stands for the American Kennel Club, which is the club the dog is registered with. Block most likely stands for the blocky head of the breed, as the breeder is trying to tell you that their dogs have really blocky heads compared to other dogs.2/19/2015 11:51:45 AM

Not really as bull terrier's weren't bred for guarding. I got boxed in the face on my estate, I had my bull terrier with me and it started barking at me. The mastiff breeds are more protective4/20/2014 9:40:11 PM
Not really as Bull Terriers weren't bred for guarding, my mates have been robbed while they were walking there bull terrier. That wouldnt happen if u were walking a mastiff breed.7/4/2014 9:38:41 PM
a bull terrier is very loyal, protective and jelouse of its owner with other dogs!!7/15/2014 6:09:10 PM
To be honest, Bull Terrier's arent really agressive unless trained to be. I visited a home with a bull terrier and she had to be muzzled because she would attack people she didnt know. Probably because she wasnt trained well but around her family she was very loving including with smaller kids9/4/2014 7:23:07 PM
I have a issue with a bull terrier that has to be muzzled, unless at the Vet's. Best to put the dog in a crate when you have visitors. I do that because mine gets so excited and leaps on people. 1/12/2015 12:31:14 PM

If its a pedigree bull terrier its not a pit bull terrier, but a pi tbull type along with staffys, bull terriers and I.s.b.t some say the American bulldog is also a pit bull type. But as long as its not American pit bull terrier it shouldn't be a problem4/20/2014 9:47:06 PM
no, a bull terriers lineage of breed extends to white english terriers, bull dogs, and dalmatians/greyhounds. 9/4/2014 7:23:59 PM
Its not really known, but the pitbull defo comes from its smaller english cousin the staffy, then american breeders added mastiff blood to increase its weight, and height, and give it a larger, powerful head, primarily for dog fighting.4/20/2014 9:52:49 PM
Bull terriers are a lineage of bulldog and a extinct breed of English white terrier2/9/2015 12:32:46 PM

There are two ways to teach a puppy to stop biting. First, when your dog bites, yelp loudly, get up and leave the room. Ignore the pup for 10 - 20 seconds and then go back to him and play with him again. If that does not work, when he bites you, take his upper lip and squeeze it against his teeth. What this teaches him is that when he has human flesh in his mouth, he bites himself.7/9/2014 10:18:49 PM
i would advise against squeezing a bull terriers mouth as they would take that as a challenge and continue playing like that. what i would do is dominate them and yell at them and maybe slap their snout firmly and they should know that they arent allowe to do that9/4/2014 7:26:05 PM
I would advise against slapping your Bull Terrier or striking them in any manor. As this teaches them aggressive behavior. A lot of Bull Terriers have OCD . Repetition in your discipline is a must. As Bull Terriers are very loving and want to be next to you most the time. I put mine in a sort of time out from play when ever they do something I disapprove of for a min or 2. Like other sit on side of room or a few feet away until they learn not to do what you disapprove of. And again with them having OCD problems you might wanna stop a habit you don't like from the first time you see it because they can be a much harder problem to deal with if you don't stop it the first time you notice it. Good luck 2/26/2015 4:16:25 PM
I agree with "time out". More than anything, they hate to be separated from you. We had a white Bull Terrier that had every problem known to the breed including rage disorder. He bit me quite a few times, and my husband, as well. You couldn't raise your voice or a hand without him snarling back at you. Two minutes or 20 seconds was not enough of an impact to make a difference. Two or more hours where he couldn't see us (like the back, enclosed porch) was what it took to let him know we meant business. In spite of all of his problems, he became a nicer dog to us. We loved him dearly.4/13/2015 9:26:47 PM

Most vets deworm and give the first distemper max5 shot at 6 weeks of age.8/12/2013 1:25:36 PM
It doesn't take much effort to make a s.b.t fearless they are born fearless, it takes great courage to fight a angry bull 20 times your size, iv had most types of bullterriers, the legal ones and all of them were fearless naturally, for it to become fearless towards all dogs is to keep it away from all dogs so it becomes anti social, and use aggressive words such as, watch em ! And kill. But I believe that would be a massive mistake, it wouldn't be fair on the dog4/20/2014 10:45:01 PM

depends, some bull terriers depending on what subtype they are more dominant in may weigh or measure differently. husky ones should weigh between 25-35 pounds. 9/4/2014 7:27:13 PM
I have had bitch staffs my whole life, when they reach around 12 months old they wont really get no taller, but they will gain weight, they fill out for the next couple of years up until they get to 3 years old, they wont get no bigger from then, that's the age that they are in there prime.4/20/2014 9:59:31 PM
At 12 months it wouldnt get much taller, and it would mature, and fill out until 3 years of age7/4/2014 9:43:56 PM
We rescued a male bully ,he was two .A year later we rescued a female bully ,same age Both were neutered and spayed
It was love at first sight. We had them for ten years.
In August 2012 ,she died of cancer. He went into a huge depression and is still very depressed
A few months after she died,we returned and rescued another 6 yo spayed female bully
For the first few days they seemed to get along well
Then she started to attack him whenever she had the opportunity
After a scary week ,we had to return her
She probably had to be the only dog in a home
My guess is that not all dogs are compatible
We plan to try again with another bully rescue because we love having two dogs in the family1/18/2013 3:00:04 PM
Once an attack occurs, they must be separated.. It is only unfinished business.. Bull Terrier owner, one at a time here.1/11/2015 9:28:43 AM
Male Bull Terriers tend to be very dominant, make sure you let them know that you are the pack leader not him. It will also help to get him neutered, as this will help also. Make sure that you socialize your Bully, dog parks, fairs, I even take my Bully to the mall. So that they are familiar with any situation and they know that my husband and I are the pack leaders not the other way around. Again, socialize, socialize, socialize, it will help prevent issues in the future.9/26/2012 5:29:21 PM
around the 2 month and a half mark english bull terrier ears should already be up by then9/24/2013 1:49:58 AM
Some go up quicker then others.. Have Breeder Tape them for you if they are floppy.. My English Bull Terrier girl's ears were up by 10 weeks.. My boy still has a floppy ear. It was taped many times. He was older when I got him and breeder never taped his ears.1/11/2015 9:32:24 AM
Exercise for bullies is an absolute. They are very energetic and playful pets. Give him plenty of room around other pets and always keep him on a leash. Why didn't they buy a poodle or breed that doesn't require exercise?11/26/2012 11:13:20 AM
Ive got a 75 percent irish staff, and 25 percent stud american bulldog, and from 6 months old iv gave him rice, pasta, beef, and sardines (1 tin a day good for bones) he's 3 years old now and he's a beast, massive, with 3 to 5 45 minuite walks a day. He's buy far the hardest dog on the estate lol, but good food for your dog costs about 6 times more than regular dog food, but u get out wot u put in, my dog bosun has grow to be militant, he's by far the strongest pitbull type dog iv owned, so yea rice, fish, red meat, and pasta with extreme exercise, you will create a dog that makes you proud, and able to turn heads all day4/20/2014 10:27:30 PM
Some dogs, and many terrier breed have this more frequently, get very anxious when the owner leaves. The best solution is to crate the dog while you are gone. The crate is the domestic equivalent of a den, which leaves them feeling more secure, and as a bonus, prevents them from becoming so insecure while you are away. To crate train, start by placing treats and having the canine go in after them. Some dogs like a clock wrapped in an old towel to sooth them.9/25/2012 12:54:59 PM
It depends, but most breeds will start their heat after they are about a year old. It's not recommended to breed a bitch on her first heat because she's a bit too young still. You could keep her outside in a secure area, but my brother has come up with a neat trick of putting his dog in old boxer-briefs and panty-liners. It works with his dog, but some dogs aren't going to allow it on them.11/11/2012 6:04:44 PM
This is due to the Dalmatian being crossed into this breed many many years ago. It is a common skin coloration, especially in pure white or predominantly White Bull terriers. Hope this helps7/29/2012 5:09:33 AM
HI we have a 7 month old pure breed English bull terrier he is pure white with a heart shaped patch on his left eye but when you turn him on his back you can see little spots in his skin and on investigating. We were also told it was the dalmatian mix that did this and as they are white you see them where as brindles etc they are hidden.9/25/2012 12:00:57 PM

Bad diet try giving her a more protein packed kibble and deworm both dogs she should stop on her own 6/28/2012 1:40:04 PM
You want to keep an eye on your dogs when out and if they should poo pick it up quickly. basically breaking the habit.7/29/2012 5:10:28 AM
I had this issue for a short time, my husband needed to be more on top of cleaning the dog poo out of our yard, so instead of 1x weekly he does 2x and this has helped curb the issue. It may also be a dietary issue.9/26/2012 5:32:54 PM
Has your bull terrier been socialised from a young age as this is very important with Bull Terriers. You don't want to encourage this type of behaviour and get confident people to approach her and fuss and stroke her regardless of her reaction. Maybe try to get her into some socialising classes.7/29/2012 5:12:09 AM
I have two Bull Terriers living under the same roof with two West Highland Terriers. The Bull Terriers love to play with the Westies but you know how tempermental the Westies can be. Overall, it is just fine. 7/11/2012 8:55:34 PM
i reccomend 2 1/2 to 3 cups at most. 5/11/2012 12:52:06 PM
If a bull terrier is deaf it would have been born deaf, your puppy should have the BEAR (hearing testing) done and you should get a copy of the BEAR testing with the results. I know of deaf bullies and have never heard of them being aggressive due to deafness.4/25/2012 9:50:09 PM
I have a 6mo old bullie female, she was born deaf. She was alittle harder to train but she is very sweet towards people. And she does fairly well around other dogs.4/26/2012 9:35:28 AM
What Belle7 is trying to tell you about is actually called a BAER test (brainstem auditory evoked response) not a "BEAR" test. A BEAR is an animal that lives out in the woods. Deafness is a genetic disorder associated with Bull Terriers. Breeding white on white or having too many white anchestors within the 4 generation pedigree can heighten the chances of this disorder. Conduct proper research on reputable breeders to ensure you're getting one from a breeder that tests for ALL disorders associated with the Bull Terrier breed. Here's some useful information: http://bulliesofnc.com/finding-reputable-bull-terrier-breeder 5/2/2012 1:30:31 AM
You might not have a pure bully there. The ears start to perk up quite early but, of course, as with any animal there exceptions to the rule. Don't worry though, bullies are great dogs despite the ears ;-)4/25/2012 9:46:36 AM
Try taping them up with a masking tape that people use for bandage. Leave on for a few days. His or Her ears are heavy thick ears, we have a bully George and yes we taped his ears up. Also rub his ears to increase the blood flow.4/25/2012 9:52:50 PM
That usually is a breeding issue. Try taping, otherwise you may have a loppy loving Bully.9/26/2012 5:34:44 PM
Note: We provide the only safe marketplace for Bull Terrier breeders to list puppies for sale to rehome their purebred dogs. Breeders listing puppies for sale on Next Day Pets are required to verify their identity for your protection.

Rag & Bone was born in 2001 through the shared frustrations of not being able to find the type of clothing everyone wanted to wear. With all manufacturing done in America this brings all the history and skill to each individual piece more to life. Unique and set apart these pieces were made to be.

I love these shorts. I have an athletic build and let's just say my legs are firm. I am a swimmer and normally I am a 25 to 26 in jeans and shorts. It depends on stretch material or 100% cotton. They didn't have these in 26 and 25 fit but was too short so I went a size up so I could wear these on my hips. They are soft and comfy. I have another pair of these in pistachio and I'm a 26. So it depends on how you want to wear them. But these are a good pair to have for summer!
Beautiful short but it runs very large ! I take a 26 my usual size in Rag & Bone jeans and it is very boyfriend (the waist area is way too big and the back is huge) I had to return it and take a size 25 which is perfect! More fitted, gorgeous short, I can't wait to wear these this summer!If you want a more fitted look you should size down, the waist is big on me and yet I have a large pelvis... However the material is soft and very stretchy, a lovely short!

Uncovered: A major BUAV undercover investigation exposes the reality of life and death inside one UK laboratory.
The BUAV has carried out an undercover investigation inside a major UK animal laboratory and discovered the ugly truth about botox animal testing.
Our investigator found that at Wickham Laboratories in Hampshire around 74,000 mice a year are being subjected to cruel poisoning tests for botox.
Botox is licensed in the UK as a medical treatment, but it is more commonly known for its 'off-label' cosmetic use. This means that mice can still legally be used in botox tests, even though using animals to test cosmetic products has been banned in the UK since 1997.
The BUAV discovered that this poisoning test causes appalling suffering to mice – suffering that can be easily avoided if this cruel animal test is banned and replaced with a test tube alternative.
You can help us enforce a ban. Please take action now and help the BUAV expose the ugly truth about botox.
Botox testing
Wickham Laboratories uses thousands of mice a year to routinely batch test for quality control the product called Dysport® (manufactured by Ipsen Biopharm).
Dysport® is a preparation of one of the most toxic substances known, botulinum toxin, which is a nerve toxin. It is licensed in the UK for the treatment of relatively rare medical conditions.
However, botulinum toxin is increasingly being used "off-label" for cosmetic purposes where it is commonly referred to as 'botox.' One of these uses is for the temporary treatment for facial wrinkles and lines. Even for these purposes, botox products are actually allowed to be animal tested and licensed as a 'medicine' in certain circumstances.
The Home Office has a duty not to license tests when a non-animal method is available - and such a test is available to botox manufactuers. Furthermore, this test has been validated by an official UK government laboratory specifically for the type of botox used at Wickham and has been used by them since 1999. Inexplicably, the UK Home Office is not insisting on this test at Wickham even after all these years!
Animal suffering
The toxicity test carried out is based on the standard LD50 test and classed by the Home Office as being of "substantial severity." It is an archaic test and one of the cruellest and most controversial animal tests.
The BUAV investigator found that the mice were injected into the abdomen with the botulinum toxin and then periodically observed to see how many died. The mice became increasingly paralysed, eventually gasping for breath and suffocating to death. The degree of suffering is appalling. No pain relief was provided for the mice.
As a token consideration with respect to animal welfare, workers were supposed to observe the mice and identify those who were judged unlikely to survive until the next check. This is a completely inadequate way of controlling suffering but in any event, using the company's own data, the BUAV has discovered that this so-called humane endpoint was a sham because far more of the mice in question died an agonising death than were killed.
Killing mice
Most mice in the higher dose categories died during the test. Those considered unlikely to survive until the next check were taken out into the corridor and crudely killed on the floor by breaking their necks with a ball point pen.
After three or four days the number of mice still alive was counted and an LD50 value calculated (This is the dose at which 50% of the mice would be expected to die when injected with the toxin; it is used as a measure of the strength of the toxin in vials of botox).
All the mice who had not already died were killed at the end of the test either by gassing or having their necks broken. Up to 60 mice at a time were loaded into the gas chamber and killed by carbon dioxide poisoning, a death that is far from instantaneous. According to Wickham's own records, on just one day in July 2009, 989 mice were killed.
Shocking cruelty
New members of staff, who had never killed mice before, were expected to practise breaking necks with a ballpoint pen on live mice.
However, during this training, staff sometimes broke the backs of mice rather than their necks.
Even experienced staff had problems and caused back injuries. This resulted in what was undoubtedly excruciating agony for the mice.
The UK government is failing in its legal obligation to enforce the universally accepted concept of the 3 R's (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement) for animal tests.
The LD50 test for botulinum toxin for Dysport® has a valid test tube alternative. The SNAP-25 assay, a method that does not use live animals but instead measures the activity of the toxin in a test tube, can be used to replace the mouse LD50 tests for Dysport®.
The BUAV believes that under UK law this test should be used because the Home Office has a duty not to license tests when an alternative method is available. Furthermore, this test has been validated by an official UK government laboratory and has been used by them since 1999 for Dysport®.
Inexplicably, the UK Home Office is not insisting on this test even after all these years.

The caption contest is just a pathetic attempt to distract us from our real work and make us forget the lack of spell check, the inaccurate polls, the unstable servers, and the relocation request.
The point system is just a tool to keep us in line. Used to lure the unsuspecting into spreading SpongeRidge's propaganda and then fool them into the belief that they really earned something of value.
SpongeRidge must be stopped.
Resistance is not futile.

Love this scent. Wonderfully spicy and stays with you. I would recommend this for anyone who wants something different. A friend said it was a comforting scent, I agree.

Kenzo Jungle is yummy. It's perfect because I don't like flowery fragrances. I lean more toward the oriental/spicy. It's not overpowering if you spritz lightly.
Written by teddypie on December 16, 2013Read Review details ►
I read such great reviews of Kenzo Jungle Elephant, I bought this "blind" -- and absolutely love it! I usually gravitate to green scents and floral chypres, so this was a very unusual choice for me. I rarely find orientals that I love to wear -- often too heavy, sweet or cloying -- but the combo of spices with amber in this one is fantastic. Many compliments. Goes on intense -- a little goes a long way -- but in the dry down softens and lasts for hours. Highest recommendation. Great experience in purchasing from FragranceNet.

You can receive 10% off anything in her shop as well as the file for one of her beautiful pieces of artwork just by helping spread the word about her shop. (find more info HERE)
This Fox necklace and lion drawing are some of her pieces that I received for my birthday back in June! I love them. :)
One of my other favorite pieces in her shop would be this arrowhead necklace (in the rose color). But really, there are just too many amazing things to choose from!
1. I have a really high forehead (five head), and I have a question for you- Is it a bad thing to wear my hair straight back or should I embrace it like Tyra (banks) says? And what are your thoughts on manbands?? I saw this guy sporting one at church this last Sunday and I gotta say- I wasn't a fan... :/ What do you think?
2. I am reading Matched right now, I haven't gotten very far yet (which is weird considering I usually finish in one day) but so far- so good! And I enjoyed some pumpkin frozen yogurt. Yum.
3. While I can't stand the thought of snow- I gotta say that the way the mountains look during a storm are breathtaking.
Other than this terrible and annoying cold- my week has been pretty quiet. How has your week been going?

Some bands spend their whole careers just hoping to produce an album as complex, cohesive and creative as A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Not Panic! At The Disco: They managed to get it right on the first try. Before you grab a cold washcloth, let's diagnose what caused A Fever.
It all started in the suburbs of Las Vegas when 12-year-old Ryan Ross asked his parents for a guitar for Christmas. Not to be outdone, neighborhood pal Spencer Smith begged his parents for a drum set so the duo could start jamming. "Really, from that first year [playing instruments], all we really did was cover Blink 182 songs," remembers Spencer, laughing. The band eventually matured, moved on from all the small things and recruited classmates Brent Wilson and Brendon Urie on bass and vocals, respectively. With the final lineup now in place, the newly christened Panic! At The Disco (from a line in the Name Taken song "Panic") started practicing in Spencer's grandmother's living room and began crafting the songs that would eventually make their way onto A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.
With their flair for experimental instrumentation and intimately observant lyrics, it wasn't long before the band sparked the interest of Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, who brought the band to Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen, a label with a green thumb for new talent. "We really clicked with [Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen] and they understood what we wanted to do as a band," Ryan explains. "They gave us a lot of freedom to do what would make us happy with our music.""We didn't want to write a record that had 11 of the same songs on it," explains Ryan. In order to make sure that didn't happen, the band came up with the concept to divide the album in two halves: the first being futuristic, complete with drum machines and synthesizers, and the second being nostalgic, complete with Vaudevillian piano and accordion. "It was two extremes of influence being put next to each other: the most electronic music we have on the record and the most old, out-of-style music we have on the record." The band took pointers from some of their biggest - although not overt - influences: Third Eye Blind's melodic song structures (on "But It's Better When We Do"), Queen's theatric instrumentation (on "Build God, Then We'll Talk") and Counting Crows' vivid and narrative lyrics (on "There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet"). "You wouldn't hear our record and say, 'Hmmm, these guys are influenced by Fleetwood Mac or Counting Crows, 'but those are our favorite bands," insists Spencer.
It's this split-brain approach to songwriting that has resonated with listeners young and old. The band has scored big with PureVolume (continually being on the site's Top 10 Signed Bands chart) and MySpace (reaching #1 on the indie charts), and when they returned to Las Vegas after recording, they played a hometown show (actually, the band's first live concert ever) and over two hundred people showed up. The boys' parents, especially Ryan's father, realized the band was more than just a fleeting hobby and eventually became card-carrying members of Panic! At The Disco's fan club.
Service and handling fees are added to the price of each ticket.

|A Timeline Tower for All Children's Entrance
Designed and engineered by local artists Catherine Woods and Mark Aeling, All Children's front entrance now holds a piece of custom artwork designed to help tell our story. The structure is comprised of seventeen curved aluminum panels, each brightly colored to showcase All Children's history. The imagery portrays our American Legion roots, flashbacks to our previous buildings, the faces of several of our historical leaders (information on each below), elements of our "Exploring Florida's Suncoast" theme, and even faces of a few children who've been treated by our care team.
These Historic Leaders were chosen to represent All Children's Hospital (representing our Trustees, Physicians and Partnerships):
Dr. Councill C. Rudolph became Pinellas' first pediatrician in 1925, serving as the sole doctor for the city's children for more than a decade. Even at 75 years of age, he ran his practice six days each week, starting at 7am, and making house calls late into the night. He was a savior for thousands of families, and for decades was relied upon to treat the children of our area. Just a few years after his passing in 1979, All Children's established the Councill C. Rudolph Medical Staff Award in his honor.
When All Children's Hospital opened its doors at the Sixth Street site on October 1, 1967, a local attorney named William "Bill" Belcher was our first Hospital Board Chairman. Bill and his fellow Board members and administrators did much to establish the reputation that All Children's currently enjoys in the community. Not only did they ensure that the hospital would care for all children regardless of race, creed or ability to pay, they also foresaw a day when All Children's would become a regional center for the best in pediatric care. When Bill Belcher died in 1992, All Children's lost a dear friend and tireless community advocate. In his memory, the Foundation created a special award in his honor to be given at the Society Banquet each year.
Considered by many to be the father of modern immunology, Dr. Robert A. Good was Physician-In-Chief and Director of the Children's Research Institute at All Children's Hospital, as well as a Distinguished Research Professor at the University of South Florida. A world recognized researcher, teacher, and pediatrician, Dr. Good received more than one hundred national and international awards. His studies helped to establish that immunodeficiency diseases are not rare, as once thought, but a frequent and very important basis of serious disease in mankind. Good performed the first successful bone marrow transplant in humans in 1968.

Overtime in the county's largest firefighting agency decreased by more than $3 million last year, a savings Orange County Fire Authority officials attribute to the fact there were no major brushfires in 2009.
But with a growing number of empty firefighting positions at the agency and the need to staff stations 24 hours a day, seven days a week, officials expect overtime costs to climb.
Though firefighters with the OCFA earn an average base salary of $84,000, the average overall earnings for a firefighter in the agency is $131,522 in 2009, records show. With the help of overtime hours, some firefighters, however, were able to more than double their base salaries.
For example, Capt. Robert Hutnyan, the top earner in the department, made more than $241,000 in 2009, with roughly $101,000 coming from overtime.
But the firefighter who accrued the most overtime was Jim Owen, a 30-year veteran who died during a training exercise in September. Known to his colleagues as "Jimmy," "The Mayor," and "J-overtime," Owen amassed more than $120,000 in overtime alone in 2009.
According to records obtained by The Orange County Register, firefighters with the OCFA accrued more than 548,000 hours of overtime in 2009, resulting in a cost of more than $24.7 million. That was $3 million less than what the agency spent on overtime costs the previous year. But in 2009 there were no major fires in Orange County to drive up overtime.
In the long run, officials expect overtime to continue climbing as more firefighters reach retirement and firefighting positions remain empty.
Facing an economic crunch, OCFA officials have opted to use overtime hours to fill vacant positions, instead of hiring new firefighters. It's a practice OCFA officials said is cheaper in the long run.
Officials said they're trying to lower overtime costs by decreasing the hours devoted to training and community events. Cutting overtime caused by vacant positions, however, is another matter.
"We're trying to drive it down," said Lori Zeller, assistant chief for the OCFA. "(Open positions) are a force that's driving it in the opposite direction."
OCFA Chief Keith Richter said the agency is trying to balance the need to lower overall costs and at the same time avoid fatigue to its 821 firefighters.
Most of the overtime hours earned by firefighters were due to backfilling, meaning firefighters worked extra hours in order to cover empty positions.
The second leading cause of overtime was training, according to OCFA records.
Most of Hutnyan's 598 overtime hours were devoted to training exercises he led. Owen's training earned him 208 hours of overtime in 2009. Capt. Gregory Bradshaw, the third highest earner in OCFA, had 816 hours of OT from training alone.

American Chef's Salad
A chef's salad is so named because it is supposed to be an innovative way of using whatever you happen to have handy to create a main-course salad. Ham, salami, chicken, turkey or any cold meat could be used for this one; similarly any kind of cheese or salad vegetable. This happens to be one of my favourite combinations, but once you get the gist of it I'm sure you'll have lots of other ideas.
Serves 6-8 as a main course

This recipe is taken from Delia's How to Cook Book Two
Before you start, pre-heat the grill to its highest setting and let it heat up for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine all the dressing ingredients in a jug or bowl and whisk them together well, tasting to check the seasoning.
Now place the bacon on some foil on the grill pan, and grill until it's very crispy – about 7 minutes – then remove it to drain on some kitchen paper and crumble it into small pieces.
Next slice the garlic sausage, first into ¼ inch (5 mm) slices, then cut the slices into ¼ inch (5 mm) strips. After that, wipe the mushrooms and slice them fairly thinly (but not paper-thin). Next crumble the cheese and peel and slice the avocados.
To serve the salad, tear up the lettuce leaves and place them in a large bowl with the watercress and rocket.
Scatter in the bacon, sausage, mushrooms, cheese and avocado and mix well. Just before serving, add half the dressing and mix together.
Add the remaining dressing and toss again so that everything gets a good coating.
Finally, sprinkle over the spring onions and serve immediately.
This needs lots of good rustic bread on the table.

"Pit Bull." There is no other breed of dog—or arguably, any other animal at all—whose mere mention can elicit such strong opinions. Try a word-associate game with your friends: Ask them what they think of when you say "Pit Bull." Chances are that by the numbers, their responses will be more negative than positive. And it's no wonder: No other type of dog is as widely banned from housing, legislated against, or incorrectly vilified by the media.
How did we get here?
Pit Bulls were once widely considered ideal family pets—affectionate, loyal and gentle with children. But in recent years, these dogs have suffered tremendously from a combination of overbreeding, bad publicity and irresponsible owners. In reality, the overwhelming majority of Pits and Pit mixes are sweet goofballs who have gotten a very bad rap.
Learn the truth.
National Pit Bull Awareness Day, on October 27, is a day of appreciation and education designed to change perceptions and stereotypes about Pit Bulls and their responsible owners. Please take a moment to learn the truth about these wonderful dogs and consider rescuing one of them from a shelter.
Are you a proud Pit Bull parent? Please participate in National Pit Bull Awareness Day, and help us dispel the myths about these dogs by leaving a comment below about your wonderful pooch.
I have a red nose named Rebel. He is the first american bull terrier that I've had, but he won't be the last. He brings me so much joy with his loving ways and his vocalization. He gets along with other dogs provided they don't get aggressive with him and then he lets them know who is boss just by being vocal. He was raised by our 2 chihuahas and is very people and kid friendly. I wish I had gotten one earlier in life.
Nobody loves dogs more than I do but sorry, facts are facts. 'DogsBite.org Releases 2011 Fatal Dog Bite Statistics; Pit bulls led fatal dog attacks in 2011 accounting for over 67% of the year's total fatalities despite only comprising about 5% of the total U.S. dog population. This is substantiated by many other orgs as well.
Personally, I know of about 6 instances when a loving, family raised pitt bull has attacked someone or another pet in the family out of nowhere. When there are so many other breeds without this 'instinct', why choose a pitt bull? I wouldn't walk my dog past another walking a pitt bull and that's sad. My grandmother did and had to watch her small dog ripped apart by someone walking their pitt bull. Always...the first thing out of the mouth of owners is.."He's never done anything like that before. He's always been gentle and loving." Again, 'pitt bulls are responsible for 67% of all fatal dog attacks yet are only 5% of the dog population.'
I adopted a pitbull about a year and a half ago I would not trade her for any thing in the world. She is so loving and affectionate and the best companion. They are very sweet dogs and should not be banned anywhere just more checked out on the person adopting them cause they dont deserve the bad rap
I am the proud parent of 3 dogs. One ABPT full blooded one mix breed Toto like dog, and they are the proud parents of Jackson, which was the puppy we decided to keep from the litter. Accident of course, but after that we did the responsible thing and had her spayed. However, I was just loke most people and believed everything I heard about this breed, but I was wrong and I'm glad that I was proved wrong, b/c they are an amazing breed, that, hands down, are in my opinion the most loyal, and people pleasing, fun, happy, and caring breed of all breeds. Of course I'm biast, but I opened my eyes, just wish everyone else would do the same!!!! Love to all advocates and animal recue owners.
We rescued a hound mix who was obviously part pit bull 2 1/2 years ago. He was a sorry little guy when we adopted him; underweight, broken teeth, parasites, and frightened.
Today, he is a happy, loving addition to our family.
I don't know what all he had been through, but he has forgiven humans. He almost breaks my heart with his sweetness.
His name is Stanley.

I have four pit bull dogs. The most recent addition to the family is Bonzai, who was one of 27 dogs from a fighting ring that was busted in Cleveland. When I first met Bonzai and the other 26 dogs at the Cleveland kennel, I thought: These are fighting dogs? They were small, undernourished, terrified... and friendly and affectionate! The only one that wasn't friendly was Bonzai, so of course, I fell in love with him. He growled at everyone, and he was physically sick and emotionally tired of being kept in a cage 24/7 for his whole life.
The day I went to pick him up from the kennel - he was just going to be a "foster" (FAIL!!) - he somehow knew he was leaving for good, not just a walk. He looked up at me with liquid brown eyes and his whole body shook with excitement. We used a shutdown protocol to help him recover from his past experiences, and I think his slow reintroduction into the world saved his life.
He's been with me for nearly a year now and while it hasn't always been easy, it has been the most-rewarding experience of my life. To see a dog who was so afraid and hurt and shut down become a playful, loving, ball of snuggleness has changed both our worlds for the better.
I own two pit bulls, a brother and sister. They are almost seven years old, they have brought so much joy to our household. They are funny and sweet, big cuddly lap dogs. They love my nieces and nephews and they have changed the minds of many of our friends who were once scared of the breed. They are smart and stubborn, fun, and so loyal and I just love them!
Sorry, I have known beautiful, sweet pitbulls but I have also seen the other side and I caution all to be careful when around them with your dogs. My beautiful sweet German Shepherd was attacked (mine was on leash walking with me) by a pitbull recently who locked on to his ear...my poor dog could not fight back because with every move he took his ear was being ripped - even the pits owner could not get him to release for some time. I have totally changed my opinion of these dogs and now am totally paranoid whenever I see one. I thought I might adopt/rescue a pitt one day but no longer. Again, I caution all dog owners to be careful.
As I read these comments I feel they are talking about my Suzy. She came around as a stray a couple of years ago and decided to stay. No ad was ever in the local paper looking for her, and she was so afraid of everything that I was afraid she had been abused. After a few days I took her to the vet for shots and for spaying. She is an amazing dog, and from the first moment she came into the house she has been good with my cats and my other dog, a Shih Tzu. She immediately bonded with a kitten I had rescued, but was injured and had to have a leg amputated. When she first came she would cringe when I would reach to pet her, and would run to hide if I said "no" to any of the animals. She didn't take long, though, to want to sit in my lap (as if there was room!) and cuddle. She and my other dog are inseparable, and the cats come up to her to have their faces washed. And to think, up until she came along I was afraid of pitties!

JACKSONVILLE — Thousands of entries and signatures line more than 50 notebooks at the USO of North Carolina in Jacksonville, but one message left Director Deb Fisher in tears and pressed to help.
"I was here during the hurricane last September and being that I'm from Ohio, I decided to read the Ohio book," Fisher said. "I came across one post that really disturbed me and upset me because it was written by a Marine from my hometown who I had gotten to know as he volunteered with us while he was dealing with his PTSD."
The books, which have been a tradition at Jacksonville's USO since it opened in 1942, are archived at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Once a new book is filled at the Jacksonville office, it is sent there to be stored with the rest. With many years spent periodically perusing the books, Fisher said she had never seen anything like this before and reading his words on the page nearly brought her to her knees, she said.
The entry, dated Aug. 8, 2011, read: "I've lived. I've died. I've took lives and saved lives. I am lost."
As soon as she read the passage, she knew she had to do something. When she called the Marine, she gave him an ultimatum. Either he requested help on his own, or she would do whatever it took to get him help, according to Fisher.
"I gave him 24 hours to make that call to get help," Fisher said as tears filled her eyes. "When I talked to him the next day, he said he was being sent to inpatient treatment in Georgia. And then I didn't hear from him for a while. When he came back to Jacksonville, after 53 days, he was doing a lot better which made me extremely happy and relieved."
The books, Fisher said, are the predecessor to Facebook, providing status updates on troops during their service. The posts are snapshots of a troop's intimate thoughts and feeling.
But the books are not used as often now as they once were, she said.
During Thanksgiving and Christmas, the pages do begin to fill up as the center serves holiday meals to troops, veterans and their families, according to Fisher.
"God puts us in places and we have no idea why," Fisher said. "I don't know why I stayed at the USO that night. I would have been safer in my brick home than in a building on the water. I was meant to help him and I'd do anything to give him a hug right now."
Fisher isn't the only person at the USO who recognizes the books' importance, however.
For Marisa Freeder of Jacksonville, the books validate her work with USO of North Carolina, she said.
"Having been to the University of North Carolina at Wilmington to see the archives, it just took my breath away," Freeder said.
The decades-old service books transport readers to the past, she said.
The entries, she said, also help veterans track their fellow service members and allow them to leave a personal mark on the USO itself.
"People used to wait in line to sign the books and sometimes they still do," Freeder said. "Seeing how much we meant and still mean to the troops shows me that we have a bigger effect than we may think.

MARK KEOHANE, writing in Business Day newspaper, says a weak Wallabies side could take a hiding at Loftus.
Heyneke Meyer has picked a team good enough to win against Australia at Loftus. Australia, even more depleted through injury than SA, could cop a big one.
It has happened before at Loftus. In 1997 the Wallabies, disillusioned with coach Greg Smith and battered by New Zealand a week before, fell apart in the last 30 minutes as the Boks romped to a record-breaking 61-22 victory. It was the first of 17 successive Bok wins.
It has also happened at Super Rugby level, with the Reds taking 90 points against the Bulls a few years back and this season conceding 60 in Pretoria. If it goes slightly wrong for overseas teams at altitude and the hosts get on a roll, it can get very messy.
Given that Meyer has not selected any Japan- or France-based South African players, there isn't a whole lot more he could have done with his run-on XV and match 22 selections.
I believe Pat Lambie is deserving of a start but Meyer has refused to entrust him with the No 15 jersey. Meyer has also been reluctant to introduce Gio Aplon, despite the player's more than capable performance in the 14-14 draw in the third and final Test against England earlier in the Test season.
Zane Kirchner is once again the go-to man and once again there are those who claim Meyer has a Bulls bias. That is absolute trash and Meyer cannot be accused of giving Bulls players preferential treatment. It is his right as coach to rate one player ahead of another.
He also remains committed to flyhalf Morné Steyn, but that is not a Bulls thing but a mentoring issue, in that Meyer pretty much shaped Steyn's provincial and Super Rugby career, believes in the ability of the player and has backed him without fail. The coach was clear to emphasise that the support remains steadfast, even in omitting Steyn from Saturday's Test. The player had not been dropped but given a breather, said Meyer.
However you look at it, for now it is the right choice. We know the value of Steyn, but his primary strength has always been his goal and line kicking, and that has failed him in the last seven Tests as never before in his international career.
At the start of the Test year, Steyn had a career Bok goal-kicking average of 84%. In the last seven Tests he has averaged 54%. Something is amiss that a player of this goal-kicking quality is 30% down. He has missed match-winning goal kicks in Port Elizabeth and Mendoza and missed a crucial kick in Perth. They were kicks Steyn usually nails and if he isn't kicking at anything in excess of 70% then he shouldn't be in the starting XV.
It is not to say that he can't return or that he won't return, but selecting Johan Goosen for his first start was an obvious and progressive selection. Goosen will do well. The two great flyhalves of the last decade, Jonny Wilkinson and Dan Carter, were both playing Test rugby at 20. Goosen's raw potential in his all-round game is comparable with Wilkinson and Carter at a similar age and he certainly looked comfortable in his two performances against Australia and the All Blacks.
I am pleased Jaco Taute is finally fit and in the mix. There has been criticism that Stormers centre Juan de Jongh has been leapfrogged but Taute (for me) offers more. He can play at 13 and 15 but I like the prospect of him in a No 13 jersey.
Meyer, into his eighth Test, has blooded several new players and introduced a post-2007 World Cup generation of player. A lot of it has been forced on him due to injury and the unavailability of experienced players but there can only be benefits to the youngsters experiencing Test rugby now. It builds international depth. Meyer knows what he has with the older hands and a youthful injection has never disadvantaged any team.
I'd like to see Meyer look at some of the France-based club players on the end-of-year tour and give some of the local players a decent off-season.
Andries Bekker gets another chance to convince Meyer he is worth the investment, and hopefully there is more X factor to Ruan Pienaar's contribution. Pienaar has been decent at scrumhalf, but the expectation has to be more than a decent return from such an accomplished player.
I don't expect much from the Aussies. They really have been hurt by injuries and the match 22 is among the weakest to tour SA in the last 10 years.
They'll play an expansive game and the reward may be a couple of early scores, but this is one that the Boks will win — and win well.
