Dogs in general are known to mark their territory more often if intact. However, if a dog is house trained then he/she should not mark at all inside a house. I live in with 5 intact dogs, three females and two males and never once have ever had a marking issue. But unless your dog is of impeccable breeding, and is going to be shown and bred later on in life, it is best to have your dog spayed/neutered to decrease the hormone level of your dog to not encourage marking.3/16/2015 12:39:57 PM
Yes, this is a very big problem for the breed. The Toy Fox Terrier is not supposed to have an under-bite and it can pose a lot of health problems for the dog. First and foremost, it is time for a vet trip. Get your puppy into the vet a.s.a.p so that he/she can determine how severe the under-bite is and if surgery needs to be done. 10/10/2014 12:05:05 PM
Sometime the fontanelle will close slowly....3 to 6 months, but I would consult a vet to be sure that this is not a hydrocephalus. 4/6/2013 6:58:43 PM

If your dog is a picky eater, it is time for a vet visit. Being picky could stem from your dog having allergies to it's food and having a stomach ache after it eats. A grain-free, high quality dog food will give your dog the best nutrition and stop picky eater's from being picky.7/11/2014 10:38:46 AM
I have always fed my dogs partial boiled chicken gizzards and hearts. I have never had an issue and they have never turned their nose up at dinner time. And pound for pound found it less expensive (for small breeds) then commercial canned foods without the worry. I leave dry down for snacking12/14/2014 10:42:01 PM
I have had 4 toy fox terriers. What I've found consistent with all of them to encourage eating their own food if nothing else is wrong with them is adding grated cheese to their meals. It helps stimulate them to eat. Also occasional scrambled egg.1/29/2015 11:05:21 PM
There really is no difference to me. The only thing is if you don't get them spayed or neutered. Male could cock there leg and female come in . overall get family dog 5/10/2013 11:42:24 PM
Yes there are5/11/2013 12:08:21 AM

Toy Fox Terriers usually have 3-4, tho our 1st litter was eight. We had a house full. All were healthy but we had to help with feeding.8/8/2012 10:08:45 PM
Your TFT is having an allergic reaction. It more than likely is a season thing. You need to get her some benadryl pills. You can pick a pack up at walmart and they are pink. give her 2 a day until you start see a difference then take her down to one a day 5/11/2013 12:16:57 AM
Your Toy fox is having allergic reaction. It more than likely the food you are feed and grass outside. Start her out with two benadryl pills a day then when see its getting better change to one a day !! ( you can get them a wal mart. they are pink ) ... A food i think will help you is Eukanauba small breed ....If the food has corn in the lst 3 ingredients then that is all you are feed her... not good for a dog that has allergies 5/11/2013 12:28:55 AM
if properly introduced, probably.4/27/2012 12:54:04 PM

I have a TFT who was just over 10 yrs. old, and he recently died of kidney failure. What levels in the blood were up? Mine went downhill fast. We loved our little Spikey so much, it was really hard. I pray you're not talking about his kidneys, and if you are, I hope your pet will survive.
God bless.6/24/2012 8:20:24 PM
Depends on which levels are high. I had a female, who we believe inadvertently got a small Taste of something with artificial sweetener. She was in emergency care over a weekend. Liver values were extremely high but eventually came down. She was put on IV fluids, I don't recall which meds. Most people know that chocolate is dangerous for dogs, but artificial sweeteners are even worse. 1/29/2015 11:04:45 PM
As long as the kids are responsible and don't drop him. TFT's are great with kids, but their legs are so fragile that the kids may injure them.3/26/2012 3:08:15 PM
Yes TFTs are really good with 11 year old children. I used to have a TFT, my 11 year old twins loved him.4/11/2012 5:16:35 PM
That sounds about the right age as long as kids understand that although they can be quite lovable, Toy Fox Terriers are not froufrou dogs. Some of them, especially male are not "face dogs" I.e. Don't put your face up next to theirs until you are sure of their temperament. They don't tend to do well with very young kids especially toddlers. They provide lots of entertainment and if you find one that loves toys/balls then 11y/o kids are perfect to play with.
Good luck!1/29/2015 11:09:40 PM
The breed standard is up to 7 lbs, but that does not mean that they can't get slightly bigger. He just wouldn't be in the breed standards to be able to show them. My UKC papered TFT is almost 18 years old, and he was about 8 lbs in his prime.3/26/2012 3:14:01 PM
If he is larger than 7lb full grown they are not considered toy fox terrier but a fox terrier6/29/2012 11:20:32 PM

Your Toy Fox Terrier puppy's ears will begin to stand erect as he gets older, certainly by the time he is a year old. If you don't plan to show your dog, there's no reason to dock its tail. Just love him and he'll keep you laughing, these guys are such clowns!11/11/2011 10:56:29 PM
Toy Fox Terriers have their tail clipped. I think at the 2nd or 3rd notch. This is usually done when they are a few days old. The ears will stand up when the puppy is older.1/3/2012 8:28:36 AM
They usually dock a Toy Fox Terrier's tail, but most of the time for akc reasons. My toy fox terrier has a tiny numb for a tail and mt moms toy fox terrier has a longer nub so it just depends on the breeder. My toy fox terrier's ears do not stand all the time like my moms dog but she is a full blooded tft. No worries!1/20/2012 8:24:31 PM
If a toy fox terriers ears are not stood by 6 months its not full bred. I have 2 and both their ear are firm.9/6/2012 11:01:58 AM
Pull a small amount of olive oil in with your Toy Fox Terrier's food once a week ! it helps.1/20/2012 8:25:33 PM
I have a 7 year old TFT, and I add alittle bacon grease to her food that really helps!3/23/2012 7:47:56 PM
You can use a brush to remove their undercoat, your cant overuse it though or it can damage the way their hair grows.9/6/2012 11:02:52 AM
A curry brush works very well. It is a rubber brush that drags off the loose fur.
Your dog only sheds 2 times a year but if you don't curry them it will take forever to just fall off. When you notice the shed is starting, take your dog outside or in the garage and spend a good 45 minutes curring your dog. This helps them from scratching it off. Another thing I do is put a sweater on them. The loose fur goes into the sweater. Then laundry the sweater. All old fur comes off into the dryer vent. You and your dog will be a lot happier.3/29/2015 1:14:55 AM
Did the vet check your TFT's patellas? I wouldn't worry so much about him crying some when you pick him up but have his patellas checked. You can give him glucosamin (sp?) it will help a lot with his joints.
I have a TFT who will be turning 18 in 3 weeks, and he is as happy as can be. I've had him since he was 4 months old. His ribcage is sensitive too, you have to support their butt when you pick them up. My mom has a TFT too who is 11 now, and she's the same way. She'll throw out her knee if you don't support her butt when you pick her up. Both my TFT and my mom's TFT have sensitive stomachs as well. grain free food works best for them. I have made my dogs food for most of his life as a stew with potatoes, carrots, broccoli, oatmeal, kidney beans, scrambled eggs, ground turkey, cranberries, sunflower seeds, and flax oil. I also give him "missing link" powder on his food once and a while, and grain free treats with glucosamine in them.3/26/2012 3:06:15 PM
Personally I would not board a dog so long in a kennel. You risk several kennel spread diseases, the attention is limited and surroundings will be strange. Why don't you look into a home care situation where someone would foster your toy fox terrier for a fee in their home. The vet or rescues may recommend one or look online and get references and check out place. This way your pup will be in a home environment which is less stressful and get more attention. Traveling with any pet depends on what activities you will be doing and type of transport as well as temperament of pet. I traveled with some of my pets and they loved it-others were left home because stress caused incontinence, vomiting and anxiety.7/31/2011 5:11:04 PM
Our tft just loved to travel. She heard keys jingle and she was ready to go. Remember, if you find a part of the time you need a sitter for her, there are kennels everywhere for short stays.3/29/2015 1:21:53 AM
yeah your fox terrier is just a bit over weight8/8/2011 12:06:20 PM

I have a new TFT pup, and have had another TFT female. These dogs are very versatile - if you want them to stay in your lap - THEY WILL and they will love it. If you want them to go out and take walks, hike, etc, they will do that too. Right now my 7 mo old is sleeping on my lap while I am on the computer :)5/25/2011 12:23:23 PM
I have a 4 year old Toy Fox Terrier and although she is good with older children, she has definitely nipped at smaller kids. I would never have a child put their face directly into her face, especially as a surprise because she will bite. Otherwise, she is so loyal. Follows me everywhere! She loves long walks and to be cuddled. She is sound asleep in bed next to me now and every night.6/8/2011 9:31:35 PM
I have a toy fox terrier who is about 12 years old. He does not really like being around small children. He will nip at small children if I don't watch him.
He is defintely a lap dog. He is always curling up in my lap. I have had him since he was a puppy and he has always been a loyal little guy. He does tend to follow me around where ever I go.6/14/2011 4:09:53 PM
I was raised with five toy fox terriers ( we bought one and she was pregnant and we kept the others). They are fiercely loyal to their owners and families and are WONDERFUL with small children ( personal knowledge) if you treat them with respect. Even though they are tiny, they are amazing watch dogs and will keep your children safe by alerting everyone of an intruder. I am saddened that people are claiming to keep small children away from them. I was two when we brought Penelope home and she was with me until my junior year in college. My whole dorm mourned her passing because she was such an amazing dog with spark. Toy fox terriers can teach your children a great deal about standing up for yourself, respect and loyalty. If someone seemingly threatened me as a child, Penny would leap in the air and bark at them. ( strong muscles in their tiny legs!!)
Give them a shot -- they are a big dog in a lil dog body and very sparky. 6/23/2011 4:22:09 PM
I have a Toy Fox Terrier and my son grow up with her since he was 4 and now he is 11 and my daugther is 13, and yes they are good with kids and they like to sleep with people, but they like to protect people if you hit somebody that she loves she would want to bite you. You cant have them outside too long like about 20-25 minutes its ok for them and give them ice cold water. 7/21/2011 11:46:11 AM
I have a 6 year old daughter, my Toy Fox Terrier is still a puppy. Only about 6 months or so. She is a great little dog. She gets into all the small things but lets the little one hold her all the time. She also loves the 2 cats Ihave who are bigger than her and plays with one of them like she is a cat. However the big dog mentality is there. She listens best to me as I'm the main one who feeds and takes care of her so will follow me everywhere. I trained without a leash and will never go anywhere. And I'm not a little dog guy but she grew on me and hope to add a big dog to the family with her and the cats10/5/2011 5:35:10 PM
Toy Fox Terrier's are wonderful around older children and make great lap dogs. That's what they are for. But they do like to play.1/15/2012 5:34:23 PM
I also have a tft they do get along with children around age 10 ! Five years and under they dislike...2/2/2012 8:53:29 PM
Toy Fox Terriers have always seemed to love children of all ages as long as i have had them they have all been around infants to young adults no problem6/29/2012 11:33:33 PM
If you want a good dog for children of any age, I would suggest a toy rat terrier. They are more gentle with babies and even elderly. They aren't as snappy as a fox terrier. I raise both and there is quite a difference in personalities. 3/29/2015 1:36:45 AM
My Fox Terrier's tail is about an inch, inch and a half long.6/8/2011 9:32:14 PM

We have two cats and our TFT along with another dog. She doesn't pay any attention to them really at all, but they are full grown cats.6/8/2011 9:34:27 PM
The cat is small, quick, and too similar to the older dog's natural prey (small rodents ie mice, moles, rats, young ground hogs, etc.) The young dog can safely be introduced to the kitten, but I fear the older dog will not welcome the newcomer and may well injure/kill it. It is in their nature.6/16/2011 6:02:54 PM
Toy Fox Terrier females dont like other females only them cause they think you are going to pay more attention to the other if you would of have the kitten since she was born she would be ok with her7/21/2011 11:49:07 AM
I have a TFT and she gets along better with the female cat than the big male cat. The male i've had for 4 years so just wants to be left alone. The young cat about a year and tft is 7 months play and chase after each other. Though the cat usually wins.10/5/2011 5:37:09 PM
Your Female TFT is the top dog of the house most likely at age of three she would probably not except the kitten , get rid of the Kitten or the Female TFT the choice is yours , I would keep the Dog ! P.S You will find the Kitten eaten Up !!!2/2/2012 9:06:19 PM
I almost have the some problem, but it is the other way around.I can help. Just train the dog and cat to avoid each other. Don't worry, things will clear up. ;D4/11/2012 5:28:17 PM
I would not put a TFT with small children. They are very fragile and can easily break their legs if dropped or they jump off of high places. As for temperament, they are fantastic with people and children. (At least the ones I have had)
I did have a larger female that was 12 pounds. She was very sturdy and would have been fine with a younger child. My TFT now is only 4.3 lbs and I would not let a small child handle her.5/25/2011 12:26:24 PM
Agreed. My 5 yr old daughter dropped our TFT puppy and broke her leg. Healed well but was a HORRIBLE experience for everyone involved. Either get a larger dog or wait until the kids are older and more mature.10/28/2011 10:20:46 PM
Ya gotta love it as a Toy Fox Terrier owner we are so worried about our babies. I think that in time the cat will adjust. I brought my puppy into a house with two boston terriers both 14 years old the female never liked or tolorated other animalls. Even though in her old age she eventually accepted the puppy the puppy learned what to do and not to do. I have photos of them in the same bed shorty before my female boston passed which was only a few weeks ago. 7/5/2011 11:22:47 PM

First, be sure your Toy Fox Terrier knows you are approaching. She may have trouble seeing in the dark. You may want to get her checked for health problems. She could be developing arthritis, fibromyalgia, etc. which make being lifted painful. 4/22/2011 2:01:08 PM
My Toy Fox Terrier started going blind at the age of 4. I took him to a specialist and he said it is probably hereditary. I had to have his left eye removed at the age of six, and he went blind in his right eye not too long after. I just lost him at the age of 14, two weeks ago, five days before he turned 15, he had a brain tumor.5/22/2011 3:38:07 PM

Currency trading also called as valutahandel market is full of urban legends that can harm a trader's chances at financial success. By knowing some of the major Forex myths, wise traders can avoid any unnecessary frustrations.
Another one of the most popular Forex myths is that the currency market is rigged. The Forex market the largest in the world and it is likely that if an individual or company takes a non-businesslike approach to financial trading, it will quickly be spotted. Forex is not a scam and even though losses can occur, a fine-tuned strategy can reap financial dividends for the trader, especially during this economic climate. Accepting that losses do occur and developing a strategy that has a slight edge during these market conditions will bring significant returns.
It is partial truth that bästa forex mäklare who are market makers can really trade against their own clients. It is shame but it may be truth. On the other hand, ECN brokers do not trade against clients because this is technically just not possible.
Forex trading is rarely a way to get rich quick. Trading takes a level of patience, skill and consistency, as well as a knowledge of the market. Losses are not the trader's fault and are down to market conditions, unless the trader has failed to follow his plan through. The possibility of loss creates opportunities for other winners. Without a small level of risk, no financial return is possible.
When traders begin with a simple strategy and see small returns, they often change their gameplay, hoping that they will increase their financial return if they evaluate a few more variables. This is often not the case. Profits are usually made at the margin, where even the most successful traders only win slightly more than when they lose. Stick with your original system and focus on managing your money instead.It's best to develop a strong trading plan that has been tested by yourself. Always take responsibility for the failures and successes of your plan.
Choosing the right forex broker to conduct your foreign currency exchange trading activities seems relatively easy on the surface. Unfortunately, when you look a little deeper, you'll soon find that it's important to choose the right account to suit you, or you could face problems later.
You'll need a forex trading account if you intend to generate profits from trading foreign currencies, and an online forex account can give you a significant amount of freedom. When you trade online, you have the ability to place trades at any time of the day or night from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
Here are some other considerations to think about before signing up for your forex account:
Trading Costs
Most forex brokers don't charge any trading fees or commissions. Instead, they charge a 'spread'. This is the difference between the bid and ask price. They add the spread onto the price of the trade and keep this as their fee for your trade. Spreads can vary greatly between brokers.
It's important to understand how these things are calculated, as you may find that the bid/ask price represents a spread that is higher than other brokers may charge and could impact your profitability.
You could also find that the type of forex trading account or online forex account you choose can impact the trading costs associated with trading. This means some brokers will charge a much lower spread for high-volume traders and charge a higher spread for those traders who place trades less frequently.
Even though you might think one single pip (or point of currency value) might not look like much, consider trading on a 5 pip spread instead of a 4 pip spread. One tiny pip worth of currency value looks so incredibly small. Yet it still could represent a 25% on your overall trading costs.
When you multiply this amount by the amount of high leverage available through most forex trading accounts, those tiny pips suddenly multiply into vast amounts of money. This is especially true with leverage available of ratios up to 200:1.
Demo Account
Before signing up for a forex trading account, be sure you have access to a demo version. This can allow you to see how the spreads are calculated, how the platform works and what kind of analytical information is available on your online forex account.
You also have the opportunity to place trades within your demo account that can show you how quickly each trade is facilitated and executed. You'll be more aware if that particular forex account is the right one for you before you commit any of your own money into the deals.
Trade Sizes
There are plenty of forex accounts that accept standard sized trades, but if you're a little more cautious about how much of your own money you want to spend, you might consider opting for a micro trading account or even a mini trading account.
These can allow you to place trades for significantly smaller amounts, which can limit the amount of capital you expose during each trade. You will also find that the amount of deposit needed to begin trading is also substantially lower, ranging from just $25 to get started up to around $200. These types of online forex accounts can be an excellent way to get a feel for forex trading.

Linking Market Share Strategies to Sales Force Objectives, Activities, and Compensation Policies
1986, Journal of Personal Selling & Sales Management
William Strahle, Rosann L Spiro
The lack of research on the strategic relationship between marketing and sales reflects a more general lack of research on the linkages between marketing other functional areas of the firm. The purpose of this article is to examine the linkages between the four basic market share strategies, "build," "hold," "harvest," and "divest" and the corresponding functional level sales strategy. Each market share strategy implies a primary sales objective. Review of the life cycle and product portfolio literatures offers insights into the nature of the relationship between marketing strategy and functional-level sales strategy. Examination of tables leads to the general observation that there is decreasing attention focused on the strategic functional-level activities as one progresses from a "build" strategy to one involving "divest" or "liquidate." While some of the authors restricted their discussions of strategy to either consumer products or industrial products, the prescriptions on the general level are the same.

These were very comfy and yes flashy, and yes cheap. But you get what you pay for. I adventure quite often but unfortunately have been stuck in the confines of the concrete jungle that is Chicago for this year. I had these shoes for juuuust over 60 days and they started falling apart on the bottom, the soles literally rubbing through. I ran on them for small amounts only a few times and wore them like regular shoes for the rest but water was seeping through. Then, the tops started peeling off (the rubber around the toes), I really couldn't believe it. I figured Moosejaw customer service would come to the rescue, and while they were epic as always, they couldn't do anything because the warranty was 60 days. A few weeks later and they still look good, but now the heel is separating too. Very disappointed, I don't think they'd last three 'real' trail runs to be honest. I'd go with something else.
This is my third pair of Sportiva's and I LOVE THEM. Very light and bearthable. nice traction on uneven terrain. VERY durable. I still have my first pair. They are in gtreat shape but I couldn't pass up the batgain on these
The appearance of a very beautiful running shoes, la sportiva is a highly professional brand running shoes I go running every morning very comfortable, lightweight, moosejaw under single discount, this is commendable.Thank the moosejaw bring me a lot of discount.
I got these yesterday and took them on a 2.5 mile desert run in southern Nevada. These shoes are awesome. I was a little worried ordering online but getting them for a third of their list price was too good to pass up. The were comfortable through my entire run and I look forward to taking them on longer runs. These might be the shoe I wear when I run my Tough Mudder. They look just like the picture and are very light. Great shoe and true to size. I am a 9.5 and the 42.5 fit like a glove.
These shoes not only look awesome, they're pretty awesome in function too! I've used them on sundry surfaces for running (trail, road, grass) and they've proven sturdy with decent grip. The design of the shoe makes you look like you're going really fast (even when you're really not) so you can impress the ladies!
These are my go-to pair of shoes for any adventures I'm going after! While in Wyoming for Spring Break, I wore these while off the slopes and the grip on these shoes are SICK! I was pretty much the guy running after the shuttle in the slushly/iced paved roads while my friends were way behind trying to keep from falling. They're one of the most comfortable shoes to walk in casually as well. Oddly enough, I normally sweat profusely in my shoes, but these have always seem to cool my feet off somehow, or maybe it's the socks...? Anyways, I'd totally recommend the Electron's! If not, a La Sportiva shoe with the similar tread. It's so unique!
These shoes are uber comfortable. I have to admit I made a shoe salesman work very hard to make sure that I got the right size in a store before ordering these from the Moose. They are like clouds for your feet. I just got them so I am interested to see how they hold up over time. These are just initial reactions but I run 5k's on trails, so these are going to work out great.

Toxic Smoke Plume from Sulfur Fire in Northern Iraq
March 1, 2013
A fire burning at an industrial sulfur processing facility in northern Iraq at the junction of the Tigris (flowing in from North) and Great Zab (northeast) Rivers billowed white smoke over Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries beginning on June 25, 2003. The fire continued to burn for two weeks, spreading the toxic, sulfur-containing smoke over a wide area. According to local media reports, the smoke was responsible for crop damage and other environmental problems as well as respiratory distress among people in the area, including at least two deaths. These image of the white smoke hanging over the region were captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra and Aqua satellites between June 25 and July 4, 2003. In some of the images, black or dark brown oil smoke hangs in the air as well. Credit: Jacques Descloitres, MODIS Rapid Response Team, NASA/GSFC

The Kinston-Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce is looking to improve the community for current residents while creating a welcoming environment for new ones.
The Think Lenoir County (TLC) initiative — originated in 2009 — encourages people to invest in the community by purchasing goods and services as well as live in the area.
The initiative is a two-part plan and is represented by green and red logos, which are displayed on or close to many businesses in the area.
The Green plan focuses on getting residents to spend money in
Dan Sale — chairman of the Chamber's Business and Tourism Committee and owner of Sale Auto Mall — expressed the importance of keeping money in the county, going with the motto of the Green initiative: the buck stays here.
"If you can buy a product in
"This is not common knowledge for a majority of the population,"
Scott Crocker, vice president of the Young Professionals of Lenoir County and a Chamber member, has voiced the unanimous support of TLC by the committee.
"Getting people to spend money in
As a partner in W.A. Moore Insurance, Crocker can also attest to the advantages the program has in strengthening local companies.
"It's a wonderful program," Crocker said. "I'm a small business owner myself and I would rather have someone go to a local insurance company than go online for it. We have a lot of goods here in the county."
The TLC Red plan shows off
The Red Carpet Committee will show new residents around the area and stay in contact with them throughout several months in an effort to have them feel welcome in
"We have 20 different families in the Red Carpet Committee,"
With these initiatives in the works,
"I truly believe in TLC," Sales said. "We have a great program in action and it's on the move."

The 14th-century Residenz royal palace, Frauenkirche church, high-tech BMW World museum and splendid Alte Pinakothek art gallery are just some of Munich's attractions. Königsplatz offers some wonderful historic architecture, as does Marienplatz with its fine shopping, dining and nightlife. It's easy to find Munich accommodation nearby.
Head out from your hotel in Munich and stop by a famous beer hall, such as Hofbräuhaus. If you're brave enough, join locals topping up their "all over" body tans at the English Garden. Or, for a more modestly dressed scene, visit Olympic Park and perhaps journey to the top of the Olympic Tower for views from the revolving restaurant.
Hearty Bavarian and European cuisine form the basis of the dining scene in many of our Munich hotels and restaurants, though the old artist's district of Schwabing serves up a broader buffet of world cuisine alongside funky shops. Shoppers with an eye on designer fashion will find the Maximilianstrasse a fruitful experience.
During Munich's Christmas markets and Oktoberfest–a 16-day celebration of all things Bavarian and beer-related–it's certainly worth booking a hotel in Munich well in advance.

MARK KEOHANE, in Business Day Newspaper, writes the Bok June internationals should be about expression and not depression.
Heyneke Meyer's selections are an accurate reflection of Super Rugby form and loyalty to the core players he entrusted in 2012.
Robert Ebersohn is unfortunate but he will be a Springbok before the end of the season. Heinrich Brussow will probably have to change his name or his provincial base to get a reaction from the Bok coach. Outside of that there should be little to vent about.
The Japanese based South African players are not available and Meyer has not considered any of the French-based South African players, many of whom have completed 35-plus match seasons.
Only Ruan Pienaar (Ulster) and Francois Louw (Bath) make the squad. The only other realistic contender would have been Saracens's Schalk Brits but his form in 2013 has not matched the impact of 2012 and the hookers chosen are right for the assignment of knocking over Scotland, Italy and Samoa, if the Boks get to play the Pacific Islanders.
There is no way to sugar coat the South African international season. It is second rate opposition, which doesn't mean a second rate performance should be tolerated or accommodated.
Meyer has the ideal build-up to the Rugby Championship because there is no pressure on him in June. Talk to the contrary is merely a public relations exercise.
Scotland are missing their four best players and Italy have never traveled well to the southern hemisphere. Samoa will be strengthened by the arrival of 10 quality players but the 74-14 embarrassment against the Lions at Ellis Park highlighted the limited squad depth.
South Africa will beat all three sides, regardless of who Meyer selects. The result is not for discussion. What is of interest will be the combinations Meyer selects and the integration of old with new.
Jean de Villiers captains the side again but his work load has to be managed. De Villiers has not missed a Super Rugby game and the Boks require him to be firing against Australia, New Zealand and Argentina more than they do against Scotland and Italy.
The back three combination offers the potential of inspiration but Meyer will have to deviate from type in actually starting with Willie le Roux and Gio Aplon. Expect only one of them in the match 22.
South Africa has X-factor players in the backs. Le Roux and Aplon, if trusted to play the situation, are game breakers. Jan Serfontein is a special talent and JJ Engelbrecht has responded to the challenge of being axed last season.
Engelbrecht has improved his defensive understanding at outside centre and he will only get better with exposure.
The loose-forward dynamic is not ideal because of Duane Vermeulen's injury enforced absence and Pierre Spies doesn't offer the same physicality as a No 8.
Spies offers other attributes and he has been good in Super Rugby. He deserves to be in the squad.
Arno Botha will benefit from getting more game time and Morne Steyn will probably alternate with Pat Lambie because of his unavailability for the Rugby Championship.
The quality of squad is impressive, especially when considered who isn't there. Some very good players have missed out.
There has to be an expectation of this side, but critical to the delivery on expectation will be the mindset of the coaching staff.
Meyer's approach during the November internationals offered more frustration than inspiration.
The Boks won all three Tests, but they played with a conservative, low risk approach. Players were rewarded for not making mistakes and innovation and invention weren't on the tour schedule.
Meyer needs to enjoy his time more as Bok coach. The world does not end if the Boks struggle or lose but to the average South African supporter it does seem to be a better place when the Boks play to their ability.
This should be a month of expression and not depression.
Hopefully Meyer will trust the game breakers and the newbie's against second tier opposition. Hopefully.
Meyer should also not be accused of provincial bias because every Bulls player, on form, deserves to be in the Bok squad.
Those who will counter Zane Kirchner's claims need only ask if not Kirchner then who else?
I would start with Le Roux or Aplon at fullback, but the options at 15 are limited.
Super Rugby breaks for a month and the Bulls deservedly lead the South African Conference.
They play the best brand of rugby and currently are a better all-round side than the Cheetahs, who have excelled in winning more matches this season than at any time.
Meyer has rewarded the best of the Cheetahs. Now he needs to reward the best of the Boks by trusting their natural attacking instincts.

GH1457, Revised March 2010
Select cucumbers of the appropriate size, about 1-1/2 inches for gherkins and 5 inches for dills. Use odd-shaped and more mature cucumbers for relishes and bread-and-butter style pickles. All vegetables should be fresh, firm and free of spoilage.
Use canning or pickling salt. The noncaking material added to other salts could make the brine cloudy. Flake salt varies in density, so don't use it to make pickled and fermented foods.
The salt used in making fermented sauerkraut and brined pickles not only provides characteristic flavor but also is vital to safety and texture. In fermented foods, salt favors the growth of desirable bacteria while inhibiting the growth of others. Caution: Do not cut back on the salt when making sauerkraut or fermented pickles.
White granulated and brown sugars are the sweeteners most often used in pickling. Corn syrup and honey, unless called for in reliable recipes, may produce undesirable flavors. Use white distilled and cider vinegars of 5 percent acidity (50 grain). White vinegar is usually preferred when light color is desirable. Never use homemade vinegar when making pickles.
A 1-gallon container holds five pounds of fresh cucumbers; a 5-gallon container holds 25 pounds. Glass, unchipped enamel-lined pans and food-grade plastic containers are excellent substitutes for the traditional stone crock.
You may use other 1-gallon to 3-gallon non-foodgrade containers as long as you line them with a clean, food-grade plastic bag. Do not use garbage bags or trash liners. Use a large, sealed, food-grade plastic bag containing 4-1/2 tablespoons of salt and 3 quarts of water as a weight to hold cucumbers under the surface of brine.
Or use a plate and jar of water. Select a pie or dinner plate small enough to just fit inside the container. Cover the weight and container top with a heavy clean bath towel to reduce mold growth on the brine surface.
Wash all containers, plates and jars in hot, sudsy water and rinse well with very hot water before using.
Tip: Pickles are best if eaten within one year of processing.
Wash cucumbers, and cut 1/16 inch off the blossom end. If you prefer pickles that are especially firm, soak cucumbers in a mixture of 1 cup pickling lime and 1/2 cup salt to 1 gallon of water.
Use a 2-gallon to 3-gallon crock or enamelware container. Avoid inhaling limewater solution while mixing. Soak cucumbers in lime water for 12 hours to 24 hours.
You must remove the excess lime absorbed by the cucumbers to make safe pickles. Remove cucumbers from lime solution, rinse and soak for one hour in fresh cold water.
Repeat the rinsing and soaking steps in fresh water two more times. Handle carefully, as slices will be brittle. Drain well. Caution: Use liming procedure only when recipe indicates.
Pickle products spoil easily. Microorganisms — particularly yeasts, molds and enzymes — may affect flavor, color and texture. Process pickles in a boiling-water canner to prevent these problems and to ensure that your products are safe.
Processing times and procedures will vary according to food acidity and the size of food pieces.
Please refer to MU publications GH1451, Quality for Keeps: Before You Start to Can, Learn the Basics, and GH1452, Quality for Keeps: Steps to Success in Home Canning, for information on correct canning procedures and for the steps to follow in boiling-water canning.
For firmer pickles, use this low-temperature pasteurization treatment.
CautionUse this procedure only when recipe indicates.
This treatment produces a firmer product, but you must carefully follow these steps to avoid spoilage.
The level of acid in a pickled product is as important to its safety as it is to its taste and texture.
Table 1Recommended processing times in a boiling-water canner.
Yield: 9 pints or 4 quarts
Procedure: Cut 1/16-inch slice off blossom ends and discard, but leave 1/4 inch of cucumber stem ends attached. Dissolve 3/4 cup salt in two gallons of water. Pour brine water over cucumbers and let stand 12 hours. Drain.
Combine vinegar, 1/2 cup salt, sugar and two quarts water. Add mixed pickling spices tied in a spice bag or cheesecloth bag. Heat to boiling.
Fill jars with pickles. Add 1 teaspoon mustard seed and 1-1/2 heads fresh dill (or 1-1/2 teaspoons of dill seed) per pint. Cover with boiling liquid; leave 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids, and process jars as described in Table 1. Or, use the low-temperature pasteurization treatment.
Yield: 6 to 7 pints
Procedure: Leave 1/4 inch of cucumber stem ends attached. Place cucumbers in large container and cover with fresh boiling water.
Six hours to eight hours later, and again on the second day, drain and cover with a mixture of six quarts of boiling water and 1/4 cup salt.
On the third day, drain and prick cucumbers with table fork.
Combine 3 cups sugar, turmeric and spices with 3 cups vinegar. Boil and pour over cucumbers.
Six to eight hours later, drain and save syrup. Add another 2 cups each of sugar and vinegar and reheat syrup to boil. Pour over pickles.
On the fourth day, drain and save syrup. Add another 2 cups sugar and 1 cup vinegar and reheat syrup to boil. Pour over pickles.
Six to eight hours later, drain and save syrup. Add 1 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla and heat to boiling.
Fill sterilized pint jars with pickles and cover with hot syrup; leave 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids, and process jars as described in Table 1. Or, use the low-temperature pasteurization treatment.
Yield: 7 to 9 pints
Procedure: Cut 1/16-inch slice off blossom ends and discard, but leave 1/4 inch of cucumber stem ends attached. Slice or cut in strips, if desired. Place in bowl and sprinkle with 1/3 cup salt. Cover with two inches of crushed or cubed ice. Refrigerate three to four hours. Add more ice as needed. Drain well.
Optional step: For firmer pickles, use the pickling lime treatment described under "Preparation" section.
Combine sugar, vinegar, celery seed, allspice and mustard seed in a 6-quart pot. Heat to boil.
For a hot pack, add cucumbers and heat slowly until vinegar mixture returns to boil. Stir occasionally to make sure vinegar mixture heats evenly. Fill sterilized jars with cucumbers and add hot pickling syrup; leave 1/2-inch headspace.
For a raw pack, fill jars with cucumbers and add hot pickling syrup; leave 1/2-inch headspace.
Adjust lids, and process jars as described in Table 1. Or, use the low-temperature pasteurization treatment.Variation: Add two slices of raw onion to each jar before filling with cucumbers.
Yield: About 8 pints
Procedure: Cut 1/16-inch slice off blossom ends and discard, but leave 1/4 inch of cucumber stem ends attached. Cut cucumbers into 3/16-inch slices. Combine cucumbers and onion slices in a large bowl. Add salt. Cover with two inches crushed or cubed ice. Refrigerate three to four hours; add more ice as needed.
For firmer pickles, use the pickling lime treatment described in the "Preparation" section above.
Combine sugar, spices and vinegar in a large pot. Boil 10 minutes. Drain cucumbers and onions and add to spice mixture. Slowly reheat to boiling.
Fill pint or quart jars with slices and cooking syrup; leave 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids, and process jars as described in Table 1. Or, use the low-pasteurization treatment.
Variation: Squash bread-and-butter pickles. Substitute slender (1-1/2 inches to 2 inches in diameter) zucchini or yellow summer squash for cucumbers.
Yield: 9 pints
Procedure: Add salt, ice, cucumbers, peppers and onions to water and let stand four hours.
Drain and cover vegetables with fresh ice water for another hour. Drain again. Combine spices in a spice bag or cheesecloth bag.
Add spices to sugar and vinegar. Heat to boiling and pour mixture over vegetables. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours. Heat mixture to boil, and fill clean jars while hot; leave 1/2-inch headspace. Adjusts lids, and process jars as described in Table 1.
Use the following quantities for each gallon capacity of your container.
Procedure: Wash cucumbers. Cut a 1/16-inch slice off blossom end and discard. Leave 1/4 inch of stem attached. Place half of dill and spices on bottom of a clean, suitable container. Add cucumbers, remaining dill and spices. Dissolve salt in vinegar and water and pour over cucumbers. Add suitable cover and weight.
Store where temperature is between 70 degrees F and 75 degrees F for about three to four weeks while fermenting. Temperatures of 55 degrees F to 65 degrees F are acceptable, but the fermentation will take five to six weeks. Avoid temperatures above 80 degrees F, or pickles will become too soft during fermentation.
Fermenting pickles cure slowly. Check the container several times a week and promptly remove surface scum or mold.
CautionIf the pickles become soft and slimy, or develop a disagreeable odor, discard them. Fully fermented pickles may be stored in the original container for about four to six months provided they are refrigerated and surface scum and molds are removed regularly.
Canning fully fermented pickles is a better way to store them. To can them, pour the brine into a pan, heat slowly to a boil, and simmer five minutes. Filter brine through paper coffee filters to reduce cloudiness, if desired. Fill jar with pickles and hot brine; leave 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids, and process as described in Table 1. Or, use the low-temperature pasteurization treatment.

I can see and post comments. I am using Firefox, so I don't know about Blogger Reader. Good luck on fixing your computer issues - I don't like that part either, and I never know what I'm doing!

I can reach you on both Blogger reader and Google reader, and as you see, I can comment too so I think everything is OK.

I haven't missed a post yet - all okay following you with Google Reader. :) What I don't like is the blurred word verification required to post a comment - therefore I rarely comment on blog posts. :(

That is $400.00 for insurance and $150.00 for accident protection.
New balance $153.17
This puts us pretty low. I hope people keep showing up

Students successfully complete LECOM Bradenton's Human Body Explored High School Students comparative anatomy program.
Human Body Explored (HBE), a pre-med course for high school students, has successfully taken high school students full circle in a study of anatomy. From learning to dissect in the first class held last October to learning to tie suture knots in the final class, 25 students completed the comparative anatomy course offered by the LECOM Bradenton. Along the way, the students received lectures on the human brain, dissected mammalian specimens and compared them to prosected human specimens.
In addition to classroom curriculum, HBE emphasized the neurological system through two additional competitive components to the program; the Southwest Florida Brain Bee and Kids Judge Neuroscience Fair. The Sarasota G.WIZ Science Museum hosted the Southwest Florida Brain Bee providing HBE participants the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of neuroscience. The first place winner was Kanthi Dhaduvai, a senior at Cardinal Mooney High School in Sarasota. Dhaduvai's first place award of $200 was used to attend the International Brain Bee at the University of Maryland in March.
| Kevin Frey and Kelsey Wilcox present "The
Taste of Color" at the Kids Judge Neuroscience
Kids Judge Neuroscience Fair, also held at the G.WIZ Science Museum, featured neuroscience exhibits prepared by the HBE students and LECOM Bradenton medical students. Exhibits were judged by 65 Girl Scouts from the Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida. "The Taste of Color" presentation by Kevin Frey, sophomore at Out-of-Door Academy, and Kelsey Wilcox, senior at Lakewood Ranch High School, won the highest award among high school students.
According to Dr. Sexton, the success of this year's HBE prompted LECOM Bradenton to expand the program. "Due to the popularity of the 2006 HBE program, Human Body Explored 2007 will increase enrollment for HBE I, the introductory course, to 50 students," said Sexton. Two additional courses will be added.
"HBE I will continue as the introductory course focusing on comparative animal anatomy dissection, emphasizing the brain. HBE II will provide a more in depth study of the human physiology with emphasis on the heart," he said. "Additionally, a third course, HBE III, will be offered to a limited number of HBE 2006 graduates. They'll receive lectures on human anatomy and in the laboratory assist in the dissection of a human cadaver."
All courses run from October, 2007 through May, 2008. Registration fees are $100 for HBE I and HBE II and $200 for HBE III. For further information or registration forms, contact Dr. Russell Sexton, 941-756-0690, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
LECOM Bradenton developed the HBE program as a component of the LECOM Health Career Post 881. The post's mission is to offer career education programs to area high school students.

Being able to monitor how quality evolves is a good start (see Historical Information).
The next step would be to manage your technical debt on your current developments in order to keep it under control.
To deal with that, a Differential Services is provided on measures, issues and coverage by unit tests on new code.
Differential Views
Differential Views on Measures
To activate this service, pick the desired period in the Time changes... drop down list:
When a period is selected, the differential values will appear next to the project measures:
Differential Views on Issues
This service will help you focus your effort of quality on current developments:
To determine the creation date of an issue, during each analysis, the following algorithm is executed to determine if an issue is new or existed previously. For each issue, three of four criteria (rule; line number; line content or "hash"; and message) must match for a detected issue to be matched up with an existing one:
- on the same rule, with the same line number and with the same hash (but not necessarily with the same message) > MATCH
- on the same rule, with the same message and with the same hash (but not necessarily with the same line) > MATCH
- on the same rule, with the same message and with the same line number (but not necessarily with the same hash) > MATCH
In any other case, the issue is a new one.
Code Coverage on New/Changed Code
When activating the SCM Activity Plugin, you will be able to separate coverage by unit tests of new code from old (based upon a given cut-off date) in order to track the new code which does not have any/enough unit tests.
A live example is available on Nemo.
Differential Views Settings
Global Configuration
Three periods can be configured globally and will be available and common to all projects. Go to Settings > General Settings > Differential Views to set these properties.
Project Configuration
Two complementary periods can be configured and be specific to the current project. Select your project and go to Settings > Differential Views to set these properties

UAF Bristol Bay Environmental Science Lab
A healthy environment is vital to rural Alaskans and their subsistence way of life. For example, the estuaries of the Bristol Bay region are the nurseries to one of the world's last great sustainable salmon fishery and are the foundation of Alaska's subsistence culture. Even though the population of Alaska is small, climate change and globalization are threatening the region's economic, social, and environmental health including estuaries. To better understand change, rural residents are undertaking environmental monitoring and sampling programs to warn of potential hazards.
There is a need for more rural environmental and sustainable energy specialists to become more involved in studies and policy making. The unspoiled landscape of southwest Alaska provides the backdrop for students entering academic programs that teach technical skills, and gives hands-on experience for careers in environmental studies. This place-based program combines contemporary scientific studies with traditional knowledge to better prepare graduates for rural entry-level jobs while giving the academic base to continue formal education in environmental studies, sustainable energies or natural science. Since the program was piloted in 2006, it has provided educational opportunities for the region's residents, particularly Alaska Natives. Further, this has empowered many students and their communities to adapt to the overwhelming outside social, ecological, and economic pressures on imported resources.

This year, The National WWII Museum asks: How do you define a hero?
The flag-raising on Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima on February 23, 1945 is one of the most famous moments of WWII. The six men who helped to raise the flag are often referred to as heroes. Out of the six men who raised the flag that day, only three survived until the end of the war. One of the surviving men, Cpl. Ira Hayes (Pima) was repeatedly asked by admirers if he considered himself to be a hero as a result of his wartime actions. Hayes replied, "How could I feel like a hero when only five men in my platoon of 45 survived, when only 27 men in my company of 250 managed to escape death or injury." This year, as the world remembers the 70th anniversary of this iconic event, The National WWII Museum asks students to think about what it means to be a hero.
In your response, use WWII as a starting point and base your essay in part on America's involvement in WWII. But don't stop in the past. Use specific examples from your own experiences that support your ideas. This is NOT a research paper. Your essay will be judged foremost for its originality, clarity of expression, and adherence to contest theme, as well as its historical accuracy, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Museum staff will read and evaluate entries.
The National WWII Museum is accepting entries through March 31st.

In a touching posthumous act of gratitude, beloved University of North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith's trust has mailed out $200 checks to each of the nearly 200 lettermen he coached with the message, "Enjoy dinner out compliments of Coach Dean Smith."
The letter sent read, in part: Each player was important and special to Coach Smith and when he prepared his estate plan, Coach wanted to reach out to each of his lettermen. Accordingly, Coach directed that following his passing each letterman be sent a two hundred dollar check with the message 'enjoy a dinner out compliments of Coach Dean Smith.'
According to Sports Illustrated, Smith mentored 184 players while at UNC from 1961 to 1997, most notably, Michael Jordan. Over his tenure as a coach, his team had a record of 879-254. He retired with more victories than any other coach in Division I men's basketball history, led the Tar Heels to two championships in 1982 and 1993, to 13 ACC Tournament titles, 11 Final Fours, an NIT championship and directed the United States Olympic Team to a gold medal at the 1976 Summer Games.

A former administrator at Chicago State University has accused its president and other officials of firing her because she refused to file a false sexual harassment charge against an outspoken faculty member critical of the university's leadership.
According to former Chicago State interim vice president for enrollment and student affairs LaShondra Peebles, administrators that included CSU president Wayne D. Watson pressured her to file a sexual harassment charge against associate professor of political science Phillip A. Beverly in hopes of terminating him and shutting down his blog, CSU Faculty Voice. (Contributors routinely published criticism of Watson and other top officials at Chicago State.) Peebles claims administrator pressured her at several meeting to file the false charge and accused her of "not being a 'team player'" when she refused. She was fired on June 2, 2014 but on February 18, 2015, she sued Watson and the Chicago State Board of Trustees for wrongful termination under Illinois's State Officials and Employees Ethics Act, alleging in part that she was fired for refusing to file the false sexual harassment complaint against Beverly. That same month, Watson announced that he would retire next year when his contract expires.

After serious public outcry, University of California President Janet Napolitano publicly apologized Thursday for referring to a UC student protest as "crap" the day before.
Napolitano's gaffe occurred Wednesday when two dozen underwear-clad student protesters interrupted the UC regents meeting to protest next year's widely contested tuition hike. The students began chanting and some stood up on chairs and stripped down to symbolize that the tuition hikes were costing them the shirts off their backs. Napolitano then turned to Board of Regents chairman Bruce Varner and said, "Let's go. We don't have to listen to this crap." The private remarks were caught on a university video feed. Napolitano and the UC Regents have been subject to protests since they approved a tuition hike in November that would raise tuition 5 percent per year for the next five years; the increase would raise next year's in-state tuition to $12,804 from $12,192 and ultimately to $15,564 by 2019. (For more on the story, head over to the Los Angeles Times.)

The average high school student can easily spend the better part of his or her day on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram...where one more post quickly turns into another sleepless night. Hey, we've all been in stuck in that inescapable web before (no one's judging!) but what if your private thoughts turned out to be not so private?
Pearson, the world's largest education company which recently crafted the standardized tests for the Common Core curriculum, has been monitoring social media accounts to detect any security breaches during exams. News of this monitoring was revealed in a message that Superintendent Elizabeth C. Jewett of Watchung Hills Regional High School District in New Jersey sent to colleagues about a disturbing incident: An unnamed student posted a tweet referring to the PARCC exam after school hours, Pearson officials then contacted the school district to discipline the student for having said something inappropriate about the tests. She also said the child's parents were concerned about the monitoring and confirmed that the publisher was monitoring student activity on the web. (The incident was first reported on the blog of former Star-Ledger reporter, education editor and senior columnist Bob Braun, who called the monitoring nothing less than "spying.")
In response, officials at Pearson did not explain how they are monitoring student activity but it is believed that they are conducting keyword searches for any mention of the PARCC tests on sites like Facebook and Twitter. The company has acknowledged the monitoring, saying, "We believe that a secure test maintains fairness for every student and the validity and integrity of the test results." (For more on this story, head over to The Washington Post.)

The American Fire Sprinkler Association Scholarship Program is unlike many traditional scholarship essay contests. That's because instead of writing an essay, applicants will read one. That's right!
To apply, students must go online and read a short essay about sprinklers and fire safety. After finishing, they complete a 10-question quiz on what they just read. Each correct answer gives the student a chance at winning one of 10 $2,000 scholarships (maximum 10 chances per entrant).
The American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA) Scholarship Contest is open to high school seniors in the United States who plan to further their education at a college/university or certified trade school in the United States. Home-schooled students may apply as long as your course of study is equivalent to that of a senior in high school.

The financial aid process can be a daunting one but if you're planning on attending college any time soon, you should know that there are tons of federal student aid options available. From Pell Grants to Perkins Loans to the FAFSA, the funding is out there but your eligibility to receive aid depends on your level of need and, subsequently, how much aid you are eligible to receive. Translation: For the majority of students, loans are inevitable. But don't fret just yet because President Obama announced the Student Aid Bill of Rights initiative to help student borrowers with the challenging student loan process.

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity shut down its University of Oklahoma chapter after a video surfaced of members singing a racist chant. The video in question, sent anonymously to The Oklahoma Daily, shows members of the fraternity singing a song that includes a racial slur for African-Americans and a reference to lynching.
In response, students rallied on the campus Monday morning to protest the video. University President David L. Boren condemned their actions and closed the fraternity house on Monday, ordering members to remove their belongings by midnight Tuesday. He mentioned that the university was also considering whether those "most responsible" could be expelled, adding that he hoped they would voluntarily leave the university. Boren also posted a statement on his Twitter account in which he said of the men in the video: "You are disgraceful. You have violated all that we stand for. You should not have the privilege of calling yourselves 'Sooners.' Real Sooners are not racist. Real Sooners are not bigots." (For more on this story, head over to The Oklahoma Daily.)
While there are plenty of upstanding Greek organizations, the stereotypical fraternity lifestyle is one endorsing excess in booze and exclusion under the guise of promoting brotherhood and academic excellence.
