- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Lightly butter a deep, round 20cm cake tin and line the base with a circle of non-stick baking parchment.
- Place the butter in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until light and fluffy, then add the caster sugar and lemon zest and beat again. Gradually add the eggs to the mixture, beating well with each addition, until fully combined. The mixture will begin to look glossy – if at any stage the mixture curdles, beat in a spoonful of ground almonds and continue to add the egg until it is all amalgamated.
- Stir in the ground almonds, then the flour, and fold everything carefully together using a large spoon. Fold through half the rhubarb, then transfer the mixture into the prepared cake tin and scatter with the remaining rhubarb. Finish with the demerara sugar sprinkled on top. Bake the cake for 45 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly in the tin, then remove from the tin. When the cake is cold, make the topping.
- Whip the cream in a large bowl until it forms soft peaks. In a small bowl, loosen the lemon curd with about 1 tbsp water and carefully fold it through the cream, without overworking. Spread over the cake, drizzle with a little more lemon curd and serve immediately.

Cant wait to try that for Mother's Day :)
Please fill out this survey for those who love food ,it only takes few minutes! Really appreciate it!
Absolutely delicious! Didn't have quite enough caster sugar in the cupboard so substituted about 100g of soft, light brown sugar to make up enough for the mix. Cake needed an extra 15 minutes at 160C fan oven.
Whether it was a problem with the lemon curd I had or otherwise, I could not get the topping as thick as it looks in the picture and needed to whip some extra cream to beef it up. It's almost a shame to ice it at all - the top looks so pretty with the diced rhubarb peeking through!
Made this cake today, I also had to cook it longer and I made a slightly different topping. I use 100g cream cheese, 30g soft margarine, 75g icing sugar sifted, 2 tablespoons lemon curd. Beat it all together and top cake. I then flicked small blobs of lemon curd on the topping. Looked stunning. I made this for my tearoom and sold it all with great feedback.

Excellent light and fluffy flavoursome cake.
Like so many others though, it took longer to cook - after an extra 15 minutes it still felt slightly wet, so left it in the switched off oven for another half and hour which worked perfectly.
I'd also advocate adding at least an extra 50% rhubarb as there is very little in this cake, and think the idea of adding the lemon juice too would be a superb addition with a little extra flour so it's not too wet.
I topped this cake as directed, however I'll use marscapone cream next time with the lemon curd, and serve it on the side to make it more of a dessert rather than a 'cup of tea' type cake.
Have made this one twice in the last 2 weeks and both times it was lovely and enjoyed by all with a handful of mixed berries on the side and a touch more cream! I think it definitely needs more rhubarb though and used 250g and i think next time I'd even take it up to 300g. I also added the juice of half a lemon to the batter and it needed an extra 20 mins at the stated 160 fan, as per most other reviewers until cooked. I probably used double the amount of cream so the topping was more luxurious! A real winner, easy, different and one to make again and again

Power Your Gadgets with Fire & Locating Your Electronics
Deep space exploration, power your gadgets with fire, locate your lost or stolen devices, and more.
Making News
It's the END of Deep Space Exploration as we Know It!
NASA has warned that we're running out of Plutonium 238, a critical component of deep-space missions. The problem is that P238 is mainly produced as a by-product of the creation of nuclear weapons. We only have 10lbs of P238 remaining, and it's already been allocated.
Without more P238, deep space missions, missions to the Mars or the moon, and any mission requiring alternative power sources will be impossible.
1.21 Jigawatts!
P238 is used in "RTGs" (RadioIsotope Thermo-Electric Generators). A puck-sized piece of Plutonium heats itself to 1,200 when helium cores are shot from the material as it decays. That "puck" is surrounded by a "Thermopile" which can convert that heat directly into electrical energy. These thermopiles are not dissimilar from very simple devices called "thermocouples" which take advantage of the "Seebeck Effect" - When two bonded pieces of dissimilar metal are heated, they expand at different rates, creating a measurable electrical current. Though one thermocouple can generate millivolts, an ARRAY of thermocouple create a "Thermopile" which can generate usable electrical current from a sufficient heat source.
Making your own Thermocouple
- Two dissimilar pieces of wire. (Copper/Steel/Silver)
- A Heat Source
- A Multimeter
Twist the ends of two pieces of wire made of dissimilar metals. You want the twists to be TIGHT. If you can, solder them together for greater efficiency. Hook the opposite end of each wire to your multimeter. Apply heat to the coupled end ad you should start seeing a voltage reading on your multimeter. You can combine thermocouples in series to increase voltage, and in parallel to increase Amperage.
Finding your lost stuff
Apple Devices
One of the easier solutions to find your iDevice or Mac is iCloud. For an iDevice, you can use Find my iPhone. If you're using a Mac, go into your System Preferences and then go into iCloud. You can opt in to "Find My Mac." Both of these services let you find your device on a map. There are also security features that let you lock your device from iCloud.com.
Android Devices
Google's built a tool called Android Device Manager. On your Android device, go to the Google Settings app and turn on the options for "Remotely locate this device" and while your'e at it, also check the "Allow remote lock and factory reset" option. With these two options selected, you'll be able to find your Android device online at android.com/devicemanager.
Cross-platform solution
If you to use one option for all of your devices, check out Prey. It's open source, so if you're concerned about what Prey is sending, you're able to check the code if you'd like. Prey works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. You'll be able to report a device as stolen at Prey's web service. You can then tell Prey what data you want collected from your lost device such as geographic information and even taking a picture using the webcam to see who has taken your device.
After You Buy
From time to time, Iyaz and Fr. Robert bring a piece of gear onto the show and give it the "Know How" treatment. They start with their initial impressions of the gadget, gizmo or techogear, but then they actually USE the product in the REAL WORLD, bringing the product back in 3-6 months to let you know how it held up to the rigors of uberGeek usage. They end result is a review that isn't just a regurgitation of specs and features, but an honest-to-Iyaz experience of gear IRL.

For Lawyers
Trust Accounts
The publication, "A Lawyer's Guide to Client Trust Accounts", was developed specifically to assist Texas lawyers in complying with Rule 1.14 of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct which governs the safekeeping of property. This rule is commonly referred to as the trust account rule. Unfortunately, and all too often, lawyers who fail to follow Rule 1.14 become part of the lawyer discipline system administered by the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel and face severe sanctions, including disbarment. It is imperative that the public is protected from lawyer misconduct. Equally imperative, however, is for lawyers to have the information they need in order to adhere to the disciplinary rules and protect themselves from the grievance process. Please take the time to read "A Lawyer's Guide to Client Trust Accounts" to determine how this information may benefit you and your law firm.

The General Assembly of 1979 designated the turtle (Terrapene carolina) as the official State Reptile for North Carolina. (Session Laws, 1979, c. 154).
§ 145-9. State reptile.
The turtle is adopted as the official State reptile of the State of North Carolina, and the eastern box turtle is designated as the emblem representing the turtles inhabiting North Carolina. (1979, c. 154, s. 1.)

If you are unable to find a breeder in your area willing to help you, then that breeder is not a good breeder. Breeders that love the breed and breed for the betterment and love of the breed will normally be happy to help someone become a good breeder like themselves. I would go onto the AKC website and find a breeder within driving distance and/or someone whom goes to shows or does other trail activities in your area. Ask them about starting up a breeding program with one of their dogs and to be mentored by them as to what they do with the breed. Some breeders are show only breeders, while others do trails like agility and obedience with their dogs. Figure out what you want to do with the breed first before contacting any breeders. 5/9/2015 8:39:49 PM

It is quite common for females to loose a lot of hair from having puppies. To keep as much coat as possible on my Collies and Shelties I worm the mom every month with pyrantel and/or Iverhart Max. I supplement her diet with a scrambled egg every day, wheat germ oil, flax seed oil, cod liver oil, a multi vitamin, ester c vitamin and I use nuvet supplement. I also feed the most nutritious dog food that I can afford- I used the Dog Food Advisor website to pick a good food. Her hair will grow back. Depending on her diet it could take about a year, but it will grow grow back.9/10/2013 2:07:47 PM
Hi I am a rectifiable sheltie breeder. They all loose there coats after a litter but it does come back looking even better. I am a little concerned though that she was breed at a young age. I do not breed any of my bitch's until they are 2 years old. I hope this helps.1/10/2014 7:32:50 PM
My Sheltie lost her coat after puppies. It came back even more beautiful in about 3-4 months. 3/17/2015 2:15:04 PM
The only way to know if your dog is a pure-bred or what breeds make up your dog is to have your dog DNA tested. You can buy them online or at your vet for an average cost of $45.00 - $85.00.7/16/2014 3:14:39 PM

Idk if this will help u or not cause my puppy is only half sheltie and half Pomeranian but I have a 3 1/2 yr old little girl and he is really really good w her. he is very hyper though which she is too so its good but sometimes when shes ready to lay down n go to sleep he wants to play and hell lay there n bite n lick at her trying to get her to play n it aggravates her but besides that I have noticed that he is very protective of her too I think he likes her better than me or daddy cause shes closer to his size so my personal opinion is they like smaller "people" or children better Marisa and Simba have an absolute ball together so I hoped I helped you out some since Simba isn't full blooded but he is absolutely wonderful w Marisa so good luck!!! i'm sure they will do just fine5/15/2013 11:05:38 AM
I have triplets and I had my girl a year before they where born.. I could not have picked a better breed of dog to have around my babyies. She was very patient with the kids never not once did anything to hurt them if anything she put up with the pulled hair ect. 6/12/2013 3:05:31 PM
I grew up around Shelties. Our first was Blue Merle Male that was not neutered and he was a sweetheart. He used to lay under my swing when I was little and I used to play "ball" with him in the living room of our home. Our second was Female Sable that slept under my loft bed and she was very protective of me we think this is because she was a retired Breeding female. We never had any problems with her. Shelties are a herding breed they will probably herd your grandchildren. My experience is that they do get protective of little ones and may sometimes nip at ankles traditionally where they nip at on sheep or cows.6/23/2013 1:28:16 AM
I was videotaping a family event when the crawling grandbaby - who was out of my reach - grabbed the coat of our (standing) sheltie and pulled himself up to stand. Our sheltie stood very still and let him. Of course, a family member ran over to rescue her right away, but she didn't even growl at the baby. On another occasion we were drinking coffee at the kitchen table and watching the 3 year olds play in our fenced back yard. Our sheltie uncharacteristically started to bark at them and was herding them toward the back door. We immediately investigated and found a copperhead snake near the section of our back yard where they had been playing. A sheltie is the best "nanny" we ever had.2/14/2015 7:33:27 AM
I can't tell you why the Shelties bark so much but when we had that problem our vet suggested a bark collar. It was a very humane quick fix. Our dog learned within just a few minutes not to bark when the collar was on and would bark for joy when we removed the collar. We basically had her wear it only when we were away from home. After a few months our battery needed replacing but we did not need to do so because of the dog's training. She was fooled. This collar saved the relationships we had with our neighbors and kept us from yelling at the doh.6/3/2013 8:29:15 PM
Our Male Sheltie barks a lot as well,,, but I have quickly figured out that he ONLY barks when he needs to be let outside,, fed, water runs out, ect.. He does a better job of letting us know what he wants then our other dogs do.. He saves the days for them as well.. It's just irritating when we're trying to watch a good program he barks... He does love animal planet and barks at the tv a lot. I wish I had a way to get a hold of Ceasar Million Dog Whisper who re-ablitiates them very well... Hope this helps u...2/18/2015 1:12:23 AM
Shelties are amazing with kids. We have five kids and three shelties. Our oldest sheltie we have had for eight years. We have loved her so much that we have pretty much decided never to own another breed.2/28/2015 4:45:48 PM
We have two shelties. Male and female. Our male will eat every thing in site and has to be on a diet at times, The female will watch her wieght on her own. Some times she eates all her food and some times she wont. I think she likes to be active and has found out that being heavy doesnt go well with active games we play outside1/7/2014 12:16:10 PM

My healthy Shelties have lived about 14 years. Please seek a vet if yours are acting "old" before the age of 10 years. Unfortunately cancer seems to be their number one issue from modern diets and lifestyles.9/10/2013 2:11:22 PM
My sheltie lived to be 16. In the last year, he had failing kidneys that required a special diet, but we was able to give and receive affection, so we were hesitant to let him go until he ultimately began to refuse food and water.2/14/2015 7:40:04 AM
use sewing glue,it will come out on it's own.must be applied before adult teeth are in.11/25/2012 10:10:38 PM
Tear Mender is a good one to use and easy to find. The glue will come undone often and will need to be re-glued until the desired ear set is achieved. 11/29/2012 1:39:23 PM
On a positive note, I've had dogs of various breeds for longer than I care to remember, and I've learned that a do can get used to being alone for about 8 hours a day. But, it's not easy on the dog or you. Housebreaking is harder and, when puppy gets bored, it's "what can I chew on?" They also need exercise. Expect to spend time with him each day playing. Toss a ball or toy in the apartment and be amazed when he starts running happily at full speed from room to room. Definetely take him for walks. Let him sniff and explore. Outside excercise is better. Shelties love to run...and run. And, although shy around at first with other dogs, once thay get to know them, they'll run and play with them. Major downside: Shelties bark at anything. While you are at work, he will bark at any noise he hears. They are great dogs...will curl up at your feet or next to on the couch and are very devoted. And tend to suffer from seperation anxiety. 11/11/2012 12:26:53 AM
Anonymous is correct. Some ideas to consider: a de-barking operation, an anti-bark collar or anti-bark tool that can be installed in the house. My favorite idea: is there a "doggy daycare" in your area? Somewhere your new sheltie can spend the day playing, excersising and not being bored? If there isn't is there any trusted friends, neighbors, family members that it could stay with while you are at work. A note on the separation anxiety: try to keep the daycare schedule about every other day or a few times a week so you dog does learn that it can stay home when neccessary. Varying the daycare schedule will also help a dog from anticipating and then complaining if it doesn't get to go that day.11/12/2012 1:59:44 PM
There is a good chance that the sound is actually hurting his ears and he is trying to protect you from the pain. There could also be some other reasons. Bringing him in the kitchen before you start cooking and keeping him in there until you are done will help him see that you are ok. Give him treats out of the pans he attacks will show him that the pans can be a good thing. Putting treats on the stove and then show him where they are coming from when you feed him. "Involve" him in the cooking process as much as possible, show him it is a good thing (with treats), and have him practice his sit stays and lieing down and staying (start on a leash) while you are cooking too. It never hurts to consult a good dog training book or trainer in person. 11/12/2012 2:10:11 PM
When we got our Sheltie, the breeder we bought him from, glued his ears so that it would "break" the blood vessels and make his ears flop. It is more of a personal preference. I think it makes the puppy look cute! :)
what kind of glue can you use to do this and for how long?11/18/2012 9:43:04 PM
Some breeders use tape or glue. Some Shelties however they are trained their ears never flop.6/23/2013 1:31:36 AM
Sheltie's should be bred to genetically break at about 3/4 up the ear. Ears With thick or thin leather will not form properly. Some break naturally but the teething process causes the muscles of the face to pull them up erect, so many times a breeder will glue them down during this age only. If they genetically break they will stay down, but if they don't then no amount of glue will make them go down. The glue is a fabric latex glue. Originally a dog whose ears tip over catches sounds from a longer distance. If the ear is upright the sound tends to bounce away. So its about function not cuteness.1/17/2015 8:54:45 PM
As long as the puppy is healthy it can be shipped on an airline just fine. Several of my pups have flown on airlines with no problems. I believe the 12 hours of emotional stress much easier on the pup that several days of ground transport (that can be the same price) and expose the pup to a lot more disease. Since the drivers will be getting in and out of the vehicle several times during the trip. Regulations for flying pets require temperature controlled areas in the cargo hold, feeding and watering every so many hours, protection from weather extremes while on the baggage trucks, and other safety measures. 10/28/2012 2:19:49 PM
ive had my sheltie for a few months and she doesnt shed that much. she listens to my every command and she is very fun to play with8/14/2012 7:36:28 PM
I have had three Shelties including one now. Also one lab, and a mixed breed. The lab and the mix, although short-haired, shed a lot more than any Sheltie. They do blow the undercoat twice a year--looks like dust bunnies, and there is a lot. Comb with a fine tooth comb, a brush won't get it all. But in between, the outercoat doesn't shed much. With the lab, there was hair all over the house, winter and summer, but the Shelties, only twice a year until that undercoat is shed/combed out.9/10/2012 4:30:23 AM
My sheltie sheds so much that it is hard to believe there is any hair left. 2/24/2015 1:11:59 PM
My sheltie loves Canidae. It is small in size and she prefers it to all other foods.3/21/2012 2:35:31 PM
Any quality dog food,like Iams,or pedigree is fine. You may find your sheltie likes a prescription food like science diet. I kept mine on Rd for 12 of his 14 years.This kept him fit. Never free feed your dog.Feed twice a day around the same time. you will make toliet training easier on your both.5/30/2012 9:10:09 PM
My Sheltie also has a very strong herding drive and started going after all Fast moving things including joggers, trucks, skateboarders bikes etc. I tried all the things you tried to no avail..] One night in dog class he got loose and went after a pickup and sometimes he catches up to them and then sits in front of them. Once he stopped a car in the middle of the street and no matter how the car tried to get around him he would just get in front and sit. He also cornered a UPS truck in a cul-de-sac. After the truck incident one of the members of our dog group suggested a shock collar because his behavior was endangering his life and the well being of others. I purchased a collar with both a warning noise and shock. I only had to shock him once and then the sound was enough to calm Him down. He now responds to the halt command. He still gets excited from time to time but he is managable.3/17/2012 11:15:49 PM
Our sheltie did the same thing. The thing that work was telling her to stop in a stern powerful voice. Now once in a blue moon she barks at the really noisy cars and trucks.6/18/2012 6:00:42 PM
Try a product called "Missing Link". It's effects are nothing less than Miraculous. I believe it also comes in a joint/senior formula. My Eskie was mostly bald for about 8 yrs., always constipated and having several seizures a month. The Vets were less than useless; We tried all sorts of supplements. Finally, after seeing this product at Petsmart over the years, I decided to try it. After a couple months, her coat began to fill in and grew in COMPLETELY, no seizures and normal stool. She was like a brand new dog at 10 yrs. old! Petsmart no longer carries it, but you can get it online.
I know your dog's symptoms are somewhat different, but this product is a Probiotic formula, which will help any skin/immune condition. The joint/senior formula has glucosamine, which is what I take for my bad knee. It has a well-deserved reputation for restoring joint mobility. Good Luck:-) 3/12/2012 9:53:20 PM
Try looking up Cushings Disease, I just lost my Sheltie last week to this diease and never heard of it; but I took him to a specialty vet or I would have none what was wrong with him, they did try to save with nov avail, if you can get to this early you have hope, but you need to let your vet know4/2/2012 3:25:20 PM
Change your Sheltie's diet! Do not feed him any dry food that contains corn. It causes skin eruptions. Try Newman's Own Organic dog food. Or Canidae.8/24/2012 11:00:15 PM

Hi there. Turn the car into a fun game for your sheltie. She gets 'special' treats in the car, like weiners or chicken- whatever she would find as high-value. Take her short distances to a park where she can have a game of fetch, or whatever her idea of fun is. She will associate the car with fun. Make sure to praise her and reward her for any positive reactions to the car ride.2/21/2012 2:00:33 PM
Yes. All living creatures should have 24/7 access to clean water, unless they are being prepared for surgery the following morning.3/12/2012 9:56:22 PM
Absolutely! Make sure you change the water a couple of times a day. 3/22/2014 2:42:38 PM
The mother's "depression" is being tired of being a mom, but she hasn't figured out how to stop. That is also why she is submitting to the puppy instead of being the alpa dog. Let them sleep in separate crates beside each other. Keep them separated but always together for a week or two. I mean one loose in the house while the other is in a crate. The pup on a leash outside while mom is loose. Soon you will see mom enjoying her freedom, and she may start disciplining the puppy (which it needs). Fed so they can't get into each other's bowls. You can encourage the natural pecking order by letting mom sleep on the bed with you and having the pup sleep in a crate on the floor beside the bed. Feed mom first, give her treats 1st, talk to her first when you come home, pet her first, take her outside first, everything first for the alpha, make the pup watch and wait. Obedience classes for each one will help both of them feel better. 1/28/2012 11:13:35 PM
Leash train and obedience train the sheltie puppy soon, so it starts submitting to and socializing with people instead of just mom.1/28/2012 11:14:45 PM
If your sheltie is healthy and free from mats, why are you so worried about wasting money? She obviously doesn't need a groomer unless you have run out of time.1/28/2012 11:16:37 PM
Some people call them minis because they look like a small Rough Collie. Some family lines have tiny shelties, I have one only 9 inches tall.12/31/2011 4:12:59 PM
I just want to thank you for the question - I also bought a Sheltie at 10 weeks - It was not listed as a mini - I expected a 20 lbs dog and at 10 months shes still about 11 lbs and stands 15" tall to top of her head to floor. Doesn't shed much and is a great addition to our family. - i was concerned that I was sold a mix breed because of her size. 1/8/2012 12:12:55 PM
It sounds like a weaning behavior. Moms can get snappish...I don't blame them, puppy teeth are sharp! Give it time and I'm almost 100% sure it will be fine.
Of course if mom shows signs of serious aggression, you don't want to keep the puppy in that situation, but from what you wrote I really don't think that's the case. She must be a mellow dog to let the puppies nurse that long, after all!

Normally if you already have a female adult dog and you want to bring in another adult dog a male would be better. Females tend to be more territorial towards other adult females. But since its a puppy there should be no reason why a female wouldnt be fine just because the mother will grow up with it and be more accepting to a puppy rather than an adult dog.So either female or male it doesnt really matter. 11/6/2011 11:21:17 AM
I would say that you need to make the decision as the mother will play with her pups and correct them too. I have several shelties, females and two males and I have to say that my females are better with the puppies as they will teach them alot. so the sex really does not matter, how ever what does matter is that if you keep a male then you need to fix him so that he does not breed to his mother. that is a huge no in the breeding field.
good luck,
She won't stay a puppy forever...untimately, you'll have two females and the same territorial behavior could crop up. While there are solutions like training or just keeping them separate, a male sheltie would be the easier choice.12/31/2011 12:06:01 PM
Probably a female. I have a 9 year old Sheltie and a 2 year old German Spitz mix. My Sheltie absouletely HATES male dogs. We know this because we wanted to breed her but she HATES male dogs. :( 1/19/2012 9:36:47 PM
We kept a female puppy and she is now 3 months old. Mom still cleans her and puppy still trys to nurse, of course there is no milk but mom still stands there and lets her try. My problem now is that puppy nips at moms heels and jumps on her side and pulls her by her tail pulling her hair out. When they are both outside you cannot play with mom because puppy runs along side her and takes all toys. When you keep one inside to try to play one on one, they miss each other terribly. We seperate them at night to give mom relief. Do you think this behavior will stop? Mom basically lets puppy do anything to her and rarely gets upset. However, and this may sound crazy but mom seems depressed. We are frustrated amd wonder if we have made a mistake keeping a puppy. We love both of them. Any advise? 1/20/2012 10:54:44 AM
Your Sheltie see's it as punishment. Try using it as a reward when he plays or eats. Keep doing it until he thinks he wants it or needs it.11/20/2011 9:56:34 PM
I would add Missing Link to your Sheltie's diet. You can buy it at PetSmart or Petco. How big is your Sheltie? Some of mine eat up to 3 cups a day. Does he seem over weight or under weight? This age is a time when they grow and change a lot. So if he is really active and not over weight I would provide more.10/24/2011 4:01:23 PM
If your sheltie is eating Poop you say,, the vet as always told us it's because dogs are missing vitamins in there systems so I usually give them a doggy vitamin daily besides there puppy/dog food.. The food they get should have enough minerals and vitamins in there but to be on the safe side it wouldn't hurt to give an extra vitamin.. IF they wont eat it plainly wrap it in a piece of chicken, or put it in peanut butter but don't be alarmed if they lick there top of there roof of there mouth's to get all the peanut butter off...2/18/2015 1:45:54 AM
That is a question with many answers. I have a 4 year old female sheltie who is only supposed to be around 12-15 inches at the shoulder and 20 pounds but she is 20 inches and 37 pounds. I had a male that was about 16 inches and 22 pounds. The best indicator is to look at the parents.11/3/2011 4:58:31 PM
I have a 50 lbs male Sheltie, I am sure he is a Sheltie, because I had Collie before.3/25/2012 11:23:53 PM
Some shelties come in only one time a year and the other ones every 6 month. You just have to be patient and see what her cycle is.12/2/2011 10:00:24 PM
Hi, I had my 1st sheltie before my 1st child, then went on to have a litter w/each child- of corse they got to keep one of their own, they would share the doggie bed be best friends, push them in their doll buggies, or wagon. Its been 30 years (3) kids, now the kids are grown and gone and I have 2 litters of these adorable big hearted babies-they can only love and please you! With a new baby make sure your wife feels up to the new addition as you do.+++++ Best wishes,, C.Lynn11/7/2011 11:44:30 AM
Honestly now would be the BEST time. Cuz your son can grow up with the dog and the dog can grow up with your son. Some Sheltie, (if not introduced to kids at a early age) become aggresive with small children. That's what happen to my 9 year old Sheltie. And when my nieces come over my Sheltie may nip if they get too close. She feels uncomfortable around them. So tht's why. One thing to look out for is they "herd" people. It"s in their blood that"s what they do. :)1/19/2012 9:42:38 PM
First what type of dog food are you feeding your sheltie? Due to the breeder, sometimes a bad breeder, can breed skin issues into the breed.
I had two shelties and just lost one recently but they both have the dry skin, my vet said it was a thyroid problem4/9/2013 10:39:52 PM

Before you start you might be interested in reading the Project Structure tutorial which shows the directory organization of the Cargo sources. The Building tutorial explains how to build Cargo from sources and the Contributing tutorial explains what rules to follow when contributing code.
Here are some quick steps to follow if you wish to add support for a new container in Cargo:
- Subscribe to the cargo dev mailing list and ask as many question you'd like there!
- Create a JIRA issue on http://jira.codehaus.org (you'll need to register). I'll then add you to the cargo-developers group in JIRA and assign the issue to you
- Checkout Cargo from SVN trunk
- Understand the Cargo project's directory structure. Container implementations are located in
- Have a look at existing container implementations (search for example for
- Create a
org.codehaus.cargo.container.containerNamepackage if it doesn't already exist.
- Create the following classes:
- A container implementation class named
ServerNameis the name of the container,
Nthe version and
ContainerTypethe type of container (Local or Remote). For example:
- A configuration implementation class named
ConfigurationTypecan be
ExistingLocal. For example
- You may need to implement some ancillary classes but those are the main 2 required. Check how the other container are implemented to see how to implement them and what other classes you may need to implement.
- A container implementation class named
- Cargo has an SPI that you should use and that should make it easy for you. Your container class should extend
org.codehaus.cargo.container.spi.Abstract_ContainerType_Containerand your configuration class should extend
- Register your new classes in the generic API in the Factory classes
trunk/core/api/genericso that users can use your new container by using the generic API.
- Verify that your container passes the samples tests.
- Run the Cargo build to ensure everything is working. You'll probably find that you haven't followed the Cargo project's coding conventions... Fix those and build again until it passes!
- Register on Codehaus' confluence. Once this is done I'll add you to the cargo-developers user group so that you have the right to edit yourself the Cargo web site pages
- Document the new container on the Cargo web site
- Create a SVN patch and attach it to the JIRA issue you have created above
Thanks and happy coding!

This company made a name for itself by winning multiple titles in SKA (Southern Kingfish Association) tournament competitions, and a look at their boats tells you why: they feature everything from multiple over-sized livewells to built-in tackleboxes, to semi-custom touches like onboard helium tanks for kite fishing in a dead wind. These boats are also designed to be among the first to the fishing grounds, with deep-V hulls and high power ratings that make for fast cruising speeds.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall (D–W.Va.) Wednesday took part in a United Service Organization (USO) sponsored service project to support the needs of wounded, ill and injured service members as they transition from military service to civilian life.
"Supporting our military overseas, as well as providing the care and support services for our soldiers and their families at home, is a responsibility I take very seriously," said Rahall, a senior member of the House Military Veterans Caucus. "This worthy USO project is just one small measure to show our appreciation for those who have put themselves in harm's way for us."
The Warrior Care Pack was developed by the USO to support the needs of our wounded, ill and injured service members during their transition from field to primary treatment locations. Rahall volunteered to help assemble care packs that will provide apparel and personal care products for recovering service members. Additionally, he wrote personal notes of encouragement and thanks to service members and signed a special flag made from military battle dress uniforms, "BDUs", which will be flown at a USO center in Afghanistan.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt founded the USO in 1941 with a mission of representing the American people by extending a "touch of home" to our troops and their families.

The package includes all meals, cooking lessons from the master chef, and a two-stay in an elegant restored Inn dating back to 1909 in the center of a classic northern Vermont town. There's also a culinary daytrips around the region.
The best part? Eating the meals we prepared right at the cooking table with the chef, and hearing the history of the Lilac Inn from owner Doug Sawyer. Chef Robert also took us out to meet goat cheese makers and beef cattle farmers in the beautiful Vermont countryside while we let our cassoulets simmer in the oven.
Part of what we enjoyed about our weekend was the friendliness of everyone we met. From the shopkeepers at an eclectic antique shop next to a rushing river, to the proprietor of the gourmet wine shop, the chef's wife, we felt welcomed even though we were clearly flatlanders.
The weekend began Friday evening in his classy restaurant, Cafe Provence. Brandon, a town of about 4500 people, is a typical small Vermont town about 40 miles north of Rutland that boasts a few big city features. Among these are the Lilac Inn, which was built as a summer home by a rich heiress in 1909, Barral's French Restaurant, Cafe Provence, with authentic recipes from the chef's own region, and a wonderful department store called Shapiro's, full of toys, boots, dresses and just about everything.
After champagne, tasty hors d'oeuvres, and an elegant Friday night meal (which we didn't have to cook), we retired to the Lilac Inn, just up the street from Cafe Provence. Doug and Shelly Sawyer bought the inn 12 years ago, after long careers running the rat race in Connecticut.
"This place started out as a home--not an inn," Doug told us, as we toured room after room with purpose-built bathrooms, four-poster beds and classy period appointments. Our room had the high ceilings of yesteryear and the very important feature of modern wifi.
This beautiful building, which was built around a long-deceased elm tree, had a tumultuous history. It lay empty for three years and was once in bad condition. Another couple from California had tried in 1990 and failed to make a go of the place as an Inn. But like many other couples who might dream about owning their own inn, it's much harder than it looks to be successful.
During our visit, in April 2013, it was the inn's slowest season which Doug calls "stick season." By the first of May, Doug said business picks up and they're off and running for another busy season with many weddings and big events in this original party house.
Nearby Attractions
Brandon has a lot of interesting attractions nearby, Doug told us. In Burlington, just 45 minutes north, he recommended the Shelburne Museum, with over 150,000 artworks and artifacts that are exhibited in a remarkable setting of 39 exhibition buildings, 25 of which are historic and were relocated to the Museum grounds.
Fort Ticonderoga, on Lake Champlain, is another great day trip about 20 minutes away. We discovered the Robert Frost hiking trail about 30 minutes from the inn in the Green Mountain National Forest. Here a hiking path is dotted with stopping points where we read Robert Frost poems. Delightful!
On Saturday at 9 am, we donned our aprons and set to work, with Chef Robert assigning us duties. The menu was daunting, including goat cheese cakes, Provencal seafood stew, risotto, and braised lamb shanks. Plus a big seafood broth to give the risotto its special flavor. For dessert, we'd be whipping up chocolate bombs. As we began cooking, a few of Chef Robert's techniques came into play.
With an easy manner, Chef Robert is a natural teacher. No amount of sloppy onion cutting or double dipping into the cassoulet with a spoon rattles him. We began our cooking duties by watching him cut an onion….a true chef has a way of cutting them without cutting all the way through then flipping the onion over to finish it off sideways. He had lots of other interesting tips that he shared as we began to prepare the meal.
One was how he uses parchment paper instead of lids that drip all over the place. He cuts the parchment paper to fit and pushes it down into the pot.
Any chef knows how important stocks are as a key base for a multitude of dishes. Robert explained that he takes the carcasses of the many chickens that are used in the restaurant and freezes them.
Then he makes the stock by adding celery, onion and leeks to a big pot and boils the carcasses for two hours or more. For the seafood stock, he does the same thing with lobster bodies. He heats up a pan very very hot, tosses in the bodies so they sizzle, cooks them like that for a while and then adds the water and the same vegetables and lets it simmer for a few hours. These stocks are the most important part of a chef's repertoire, we learned.
And a tip that all cooks can use: if you use olive oil it imparts a taste on delicate items like goat cheese, so it's better to use canola oil, which won't affect taste. And garlic? Don't ever use the pre-chopped kind you get in a jar, you need to chop it yourself to release the essential garlic flavor. And beans, which are an important part of any cassoulet: don't add salt, he said, it makes the beans open and fall apart. And duckfat, if you can get it, makes a umami level flavor to anything it touches.
We all had tasks to perform, and this was a feast for the ages. The big pot containing lobster bodies boiling down to make the seafood broth sent a delicious fragrance of the ocean wafting out all over the kitchen.
The lamb shanks, huge beautiful pieces of meat, would be cooked in the oven for more than three hours, emerging so tender that the meat was falling off the big bones.
Risotto, which is usually a challenge for even the most experienced cooks, was easier when he let it cool on a sheet of parchment. Making risotto ahead makes a lot of sense, if you've ever tried stirring stirring and stirring and then worried about serving it at just the right moment. It lasts for a long time on the sheet and can easily be reheated when made ahead.
Meeting the Goats
After we got everything bubbling and on the stove or in the oven, it was time for us to set off on our culinary field trip. Our first stop about seven miles out of Brandon was to Blue Ledge farm in Salisbury, where Gregory Bernhardt and Hannah Sessions raise a herd of goats and produce 50,000 pounds of flavored and plain goats milk cheese, as well as several varieties of cows milk cheese.
Theirs is the largest chèvre farm in Vermont, Hannah told us as we admired her affectionate little kids, and raising goats in Vermont is getting more and more popular. Blue Ledge was at the head of a big wave of new goat cheese producers in the state she said.
The goats get to roam on 20 pristine acres of woods and pastures. It's a perfect situation to produce the finest quality milk for the cheese. Chef Burral uses Blue Ledge Vermont cheese for our goat cheese cakes, which are delicately formed by hand and gently fried to a golden brown by his cooking class students. Anyone can visit Blue Ledge Farm for a tour, which is open for visitors on Fridays.

The Hidden Costs of U.S. Health Care: Consumer Discretionary Health Care Spending
Analysis of direct and indirect out-of-pocket costs to consumers
In 2010, total U.S. health-related expenditures were an estimated $3.2 trillion or 23.9 percent higher than reported in the National Health Expenditure Accounts (NHEA). This translates to $10,392 per person.
An additional $621 billion in direct and indirect costs was estimated for goods and services above what is captured in NHEA accounting. Of this additional amount, $492 billion (79 percent) is the imputed value of unpaid supervisory care given to individuals by family or friends.
The hidden costs of U.S. health care: Consumer discretionary health care spending. a study by the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, estimates U.S. health-related spending by taking a broad view of direct and indirect costs as well as items such as alternative medicines, functional foods, and the imputed cost of supervisory care.
The study reveals that:
- U.S. consumers purchase a wide variety of alternative and supplemental health products and services; functional foods, vitamins, minerals, supplements, and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) practitioners account for 83 percent of the direct out-of-pocket (OOP) costs not captured in NHEA categories. This suggests opportunities for the retail sector, health plans, and health care providers to develop a competitive range of products and services.
- Higher expenditures relative to income fall on Seniors, two-person families, and low-income families. Continued population-driven growth in the utilization of health care services such as hospitals, physicians and clinical services, long-term care, and supervisory care is expected; this is expected to challenge the health care sector to develop specialized clinical and community-based care services for the aged as well as innovative approaches to providing and funding long-term care. In addition, the financial implications of supervisory care may be considerable for both employers and consumers.
- OOP direct costs may be a considerable burden on the average household. Consumer price sensitivity about the cost of health care is likely to rise as more of the burden is borne by the consumer through OOP spending. Also, rising costs may induce consumers to avoid or defer care, potentially leading to poorer health and more expensive outcomes in the future. Innovative financial tools and products may be needed to assist consumers in anticipating and better managing costs when making health care decisions.
Policy-makers and industry stakeholders should be sensitive to and address the intended and unintended consequence of direct and indirect health costs. Explicit efforts should be made to inform consumers about their OOP exposure for traditional purchases. In addition, attention to models and policies that support appropriate supervisory care services for lower-income households is necessary; policy-makers and employers should innovate around programs that reduce workplace absences and lost income for employees adversely impacted by this added responsibility. Finally, the government should capture and report the full impact of direct and indirect OOP costs.

"One big, fat problem with ideological fanatics, and one give away that someone IS an ideological fanatic, is that they are incapable of distinguishing *criticism* from *persecution*. This is the case with religious as well as non-religious varieties of fanatics.
Any questioning of their ideological master, or the wisdom of their goals, or anything else about their program, isn't welcomed as an argument to be met, but as an *affront* motivated by sinister motives. It feeds a victim complex, which in turn (like everything else at that point) is made by the fanatic's mind into just *more* evidence that *he is right* (since ideologies always posit that precisely because they are the absolute truth, the "wicked" will always war against them). . . . ."

We can use the ProxyMetaClass to intercept methods in a class within a selected block for the current thread.
Interceptors with ProxyMetaClass
By using ProxyMetaClass, we can attach an interceptor to a class for a block of code. The Groovy-supplied Interceptor interface has three methods. The beforeInvoke() method specifies code to be executed before the intercepted method, the doInvoke() indicates whether to execute the intercepted method, and afterInvoke() executes after the intercepted method finishes, or after a false-returning doInvoke(). The result parameter passed to afterInvoke() is the result of executing the method, or what was returned from beforeInvoke() if the intercepted method wasn't executed. What afterInvoke() returns is returned from the method call in the main flow of the program.
We can invoke a different method instead of the one called:
We can even use interceptors on predefined Java classes:
We can prevent methods being intercepted inside the interceptor by using special & notation:
Like categories, interceptors are only valid for a certain block in the current thread. We can also combine categories with interceptors in various ways, also only valid in the current thread:
Unintercepted Interceptors
The special & notation for bypassing interceptors handles simple code, but for more complex code we often need our own UninterceptedInterceptor:
Intercepting many classes in one block
Often, we want to intercept more than one class in one block. This example is of an aliasing interceptor, which disables some English-language names for selected classes, and replaces them with Spanish-language names. We re-use the UninterceptedInterceptor class and useInterceptor utility from the previous example.
We call the code like so:
We can put the cascadingly indented code into a list to make it neater by defining a utility category method on the List class.
Our own ProxyMetaClass
We can define our own proxy meta-classes. One case for which we'd do so is to implement our own style of interceptors, here, an around-interceptor:
We can then run our code:
Using many Interceptors with our own ProxyMetaClass
We can only use one interceptor with the ProxyMetaClass supplied by Groovy, so we need to provide our own when attaching more than one interceptor to a class:
Using a MultiInterceptorProxyMetaClass for the Observer pattern
A common design pattern is the Observer pattern. Using interceptors, we can abstract the observation code into its own class, the ObserverProtocol, which can be used by subclasses. It enables us to add and remove observing objects for an observed object. We use method interception to decouple the observing and observed objects from the observation relationship itself.
We can extend this ObserverProtocol with domain-specific observers. The example is a Groovy rewrite of one first implemented in AspectJ by Jan Hannemann and Gregor Kiczales.
Now we run the program. It first creates five Screen objects (s1, s2, s3, s4, and s5) and one point object, then sets up some observing relationships (namely, s1 and s2 will observe color changes to the point, s3 and s4 will observe coordinate changes to the point, and s5 will observe s2's and s4's display method), and finally, make changes to the point, first, the color, then its x-coordinate. The color change triggers s1 and s2 to each print an appropriate message. s2's message triggers its observer s5 to print a message. The coordinate change triggers s3 and s4 to print a message. s4's message also triggers the observer s5.
Using a MultiInterceptorProxyMetaClass and UninterceptedFriendlyInterceptor for the Decorator pattern
We can use more than one unintercepted interceptor with a proxy meta-class. A good example where this is necessary is the Decorator pattern. We re-use the MultiInterceptorProxyMetaClass from previous examples, but must write a special unintercepted interceptor, which we call an UninterceptedFriendlyInterceptor, that can be used as one of many with the MultiInterceptorProxyMetaClass.
For our example Decorator pattern, we'll code an OutputStreamWriter that prints extra if necessary. We use decorators extended from the UninterceptableFriendlyInterceptor. Firstly, a NewlineDecorator that uses a line-width policy to perhaps place the output on a new line. And second, a very simple WhitespaceDecorator that ensures there's some whitespace between any two consecutive items output. Each has only very simple logic for this example.
After the classes, interceptors, and code block are matched up, the printing logic and the OutputStreamWriter are both unaware that the output is being decorated. Each decorator will perhaps modify the output, then pass it along to the next decorator to do the same. The distinct items of output sent to the OutputStreamWriter are separated by spaces, whether or not a space was in the output string in the program, and the output fits within a certain width.

Cargo provides different container implementations. A Container implementation can be either standalone or embedded. The embedded mode means that Cargo is using directly the container's Java API to control it. If you're using one of the embedded implementation you'll need to ensure that you have the container's jars in your classpath.
Advantages of embbeded mode:
- Faster. There's no need to start a new JVM nor new threads.
- Simpler. There's no need to install the container in a directory
Here is the list of container implementations that support the embedded mode:

One of those little extras that travelers often overlook when budgeting for a trip is the cost of airport parking. And if you live in a major metropolitan area, and you park at the airport, this is one little extra that's not so little.
The Top Eleven
Forbes.com has compiled a list of the eleven US airports where on-site parking is most expensive. Topping the list is Chicago - O'Hare where it can cost a whopping $50 a day to park at the airport.
If you reserve parking through GoNOMAD at an off-site lot right near O'Hare, it will cost you $10 per day or less.
Following O'Hare on the Forbes.com list of expensive airports were Washington ($36 maximum daily rate), Los Angeles ($30), LaGuardia ($30), Boston ($24), Newark ($24), Phoenix ($20), Denver ($18), Minneapolis/St. Paul ($18), Orlando ($17) and Dallas/Fort Worth ($17).
The Alternative: Off-Site Lots
You pay the cost of one day's parking in advance, and that's is taken off your bill when you pick up your car. Your space is guaranteed, and you avoid waiting in traffic when airport security personnel are checking incoming vehicles.
At Los Angeles, for example, prices at off-site lots ranged from $5.95 to $11 per day, compared with $30 for airport lots. You can park off-site in Newark for as little as $9 a day, compared with $24 at the airport.
"A Significant Premium"
Forbes writer Sophia Banay says increases in on-site airport parking are due to a variety of factors, including rising energy costs, garage construction costs and the cost of bussing operations, but she adds that parking is an important source of revenue for the airports, and when demand is high they often charge "a significant premium."
Off-site lots are safe and secure, and they provide reliable transportation to departure terminals 24 hours a day. Many offer valet service (at an additional charge) and many are covered.
Another option many travelers are choosing is to "Park, Sleep and Fly," reserving a hotel room for the night they leave or the night they return, or both. If you live fairly far away from the airport this will make your trip a lot less frazzled and more leisurely and relaxing.
Stephen Hartshorne is the associate editor of GoNOMAD.com. He writes a blog called ArmchairTravel about books he finds at flea markets and rummage sales.

- The Senate approves a measure that would give many of OPM's recently-announced hiring reforms the force of law. That includes eliminating essays about knowledge, skills and abilities on job applications. It also aims to do away with jargon in hiring announcements. The bill was passed under unanimous consent, and now heads to the House. That's where lawmakers grilled OPM leaders on Hiring reform, Wednesday.
- The Defense Department has been doing some serious hiring. The Office of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation and has hired more than 3,000 employees since the end of March to improve its purchasing processes, John Roth, deputy comptroller for programs and budgets, told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's national security subcommittee. Defense.gov reports the new hires are the first step in reducing contractors from 39 percent to 26 percent of the department's work force. Officials are requesting an additional $218 million in the fiscal 2011 budget to expand the reform efforts.
- The latest assessment of how the Pentagon buys weapons shows that the Defense Department is saving money, but the improvements aren't coming fast enough to avoid having to make cuts somewhere else. The Government Accountability Office says that the Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 has helped the Pentagon deliver weapons on time and at the estimated cost. GAO researchers say more could be done, like reducing the number and size of weapon system programs. They also say it'll take more work to make these changes permanent.
- The House Armed Services Committee Wednesday added $112 million back into the Army's 2011 budget, after cutting it by nearly a billion. The restored money is marked for a small, unmanned aerial vehicle, a ground robot, and for research and development. The three items are a sliver of the Early Infantry Brigade Combat Team program, for which the administration has requested $2.3 billion. A third of that request was cut by the committee. The restored funds were requested by Texas representatives Silvestre Reyes, whose district includes Fort Bliss, where the systems are developed and tested, according to GovExec.
- It is no secret that the Postal Service has to come up with a new business strategy to ensure its financial stability and ultimately, survival. Postmaster General John Potter says they've realigned some services to help with that. The Expedited Shipping and Ground Shipping groups have merged into one Shipping Services Group. Meanwhile, Potter named Jim Cochrane as vice president of Product Visibility and Operational Performance. It will be his job to lead the development of technology to help scan and track packages through the postal system. Potter said the new internal structures will result in more competitive package products and scanning visibility information for customers.
- The Obama administration is moving to abolish the beleaguered agency that oversees offshore drilling and replace it with three separate entities. The plan by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar would eliminate the Minerals Management Service and replace it with two bureaus and a revenue collection office. The name Minerals Management Service would no longer exist.
- Prominent oceanographers are criticizing federal environmental officials for their response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. According to the New York Times, the scientists say the government is not conducting adequate testing to determine the amount of oil escaping nor its underwater environmental impact. Oceanographer Sylvia Earle points to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency. NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco tells lawmakers, the agency is moving as fast as it can with limited resources. The government has deployed more than one thousand vessels to try and contain the spill.
- The CDC "knowingly used flawed data" to claim that high lead levels in the District's drinking water did not pose a health risk to the public. The Washington Post reports Congressional investigators determined the agency has not publicized more thorough internal research showing that the problem harmed children across the city and continues to endanger thousands of D.C. residents.
- How much do you know about medicine that never made it to market? The Food and Drug Administration's Transparency Task Force is recommending that agency begin posting rejection letters to drug and medical device makers online. The 67-page report contains 21 recommendations for for improving transparency. Critics have charged the FDA is too slow to disclose drug and food safety issues. The Transparency Task Force will take comments on its report for 60 days, and then submit a list of changes for implementation.

Calling all cyclists!
On November 7th, a multi-level ride known as the "Cure On Wheels" will be held to benefit both All Children's Hospital and Moffitt Cancer Center. The All Children's Hospital Foundation hopes to see involvement from our hospital employees, friends and family. This event isn't limited to weekend warriors - there's a 7 mile Family Fun ride on paved trails at Flatwoods park, so bicycle riders of all kinds can participate! For those more dedicated cycling enthusiasts, supported rides of 25, 62, and 100 miles are also available -- and we have a USA Cycling Certified Coach who has volunteered to spearhead the rider efforts on our behalf and will be leading our team of riders!
