When Valley Oak League track and field coaches not named Dave Bacigalupi have nightmares, they typically dream of Oakdale High uniforms.
Oakdale High's varsity boys baseball team landed two comfortable wins over Manteca on April 25 and 27 to sweep the Buffaloes and move one step closer to a conference title.
Oakdale H.S.
Fantastic depth and strong individual performances from Oakdale High's varsity girls track team carried the program to yet another standout collective performance as the Mustang's edged VOL stalwart, Sierra, on April 26. The win carried Oakdale to an eighth straight conference title and incredible 58th straight conference dual meet win. To read more on Oakdale's run to another league championship, nab the May 2 print edition of the Oakdale Leader.
Oakdale H.S./Texas Southern Univerity Softball
Trailing Sonora with one event to go, Oakdale High's girls swim team needed to take both first and third in the final event - the 400 yard freestyle relay - to escape the clutches of the host Wildcats with a victory and subsequent league championship.
Oakdale High athletes saw a roller coaster of ups and downs during recent conference and tournament action on their respective fields of play. Following is a summary of recent results for Oakdale girls soccer, boys tennis, track and field, golf and softball teams.
With six games left on the Valley Oak League schedule, a championship is hardly a guarantee for Oakdale High's varsity baseball team.
One by one Shelby Reali's coaches and parents took center stage to speak to a vast crowd of friends and youth softball players at Rainbow Fields in Riverbank on April 4.
Oakdale High track and field, softball, tennis and golf teams saw action despite recent poor weather conditions. Following is a summary of prep results.
Oakdale H.S. • Softball
After emerging the victor against two of the Valley Oak League's toughest programs, Oakdale is in the driver's seat for a conference title.
March ended with a flurry of Valley Oak League activity as Oakdale High girls soccer, swimming, boys tennis and boys golf teams took on conference opponents.
Oakdale High senior Andy Morris can add 'Captain Clutch' to the barrage of monikers he's likely to receive before his high school career is over.

Head coach Larry Loger and his varsity softball girls are reminding teams why they're the defending Sac-Joaquin Section champions. The Lady Mustangs improved to 15-7 overall and more importantly 7-1 in league play after an 8-5 road victory over Kimball and an 18-0 shellacking of winless Weston Ranch on Thursday, April 16 at home.
Although school was out for Spring Break, the diamond boys were hard at it this past week with tournament play. League play will resume this week for all three levels of play. Shown is a quick glance at how the teams fared over the vacation week.
Oakdale played a home and home series against Lathrop this past week, and the Mustangs corralled a pair of victories over the Spartans.
On top of their Valley Oak League meet against Sierra on Thursday, March 26, the best of the best in high school varsity track and field came out to The Corral on Friday, March 27 for the annual County vs. County meet. Eighteen schools from both Stanislaus and Merced counties competed under the hot Oakdale early spring sun.

Let's face it, 2007 was a crap year for operating systems. Vista pretty much stinks, and even the almighty Apple has had big problems with Leopard. But I think I've figured out what's causing the issues plaguing Windows and OS X: They've finally reached puberty. As near as I can figure, operating systems mature at a slower rate than humans, so after a process that took some 20 years, things are starting to get awkward for these pimply-faced piles of code.
The early days of Windows were an analog to the formative years of a human infant. Windows 3.1 had a new fresh face that always kept us entertained ("A file manager! Amazing!") and was even good for a few useful tasks. But 3.1 also needed constant maintenance to keep working—in much the same way a baby can't care for himself.
The consumer PC reached early childhood with Windows 95. Like a rambunctious 4-year-old, Win95 could get around and communicate, but you had to keep it away from things that could badly hurt it (to Win95, the Internet is the equivalent of a fork dangling from an electrical socket). Like a 4-year-old, Windows 95 could almost take care of basic maintenance by itself but still needed supervision to avoid "accidents." And like a child just learning the nuances of the language, you could hold a real conversation with Win95—just as long as you kept things simple.
Windows 98 represented late childhood. With support for modern hardware, it was vastly more capable than Win95, but it still required hand-holding to cross the street safely. And, like a rowdy 8-year-old, everything in Win98 was better after a midafternoon nap.
And then came Windows XP, the respectful 12-year-old who works at his dad's office. Unlike the hormonal know-it-all teenager that would be Windows Vista, you could treat WinXP like a full-blown adult. Hell, WinXP did everything we needed—quickly and effectively without any lip. Unfortunately, however, its status as a quasi-adult eventually caused WinXP problems. It was smart, but not wise and experienced. Like a 12-year-old, the OS will hop in damn near anyone's proverbial van, despite constant warnings to be wary.
And now we come to Vista, the gawky 14-year-old. It knows what it wants to be and what it wants to do, but somehow it just can't get everything working well enough to make it happen.
What will Windows 7 bring in 2012? Will it be a meth'd-out, convenience-store-robbing 18-year-old? Or will it be a cool 22-year-old go-getter, just starting his first real job and looking to take on the world? Only time will tell, but I'm hoping that Win7 ships with a plan to solve world hunger—and not a switchblade.

Supreme Court Corrects Kagan Dissent
The original text misidentified America's first Jewish community
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court upheld the right of legislatures to open with sectarian religious prayer in the case of Town of Greece v. Galloway. In the aftermath of that decision, much attention was given to Justice Elena Kagan's spirited dissent, in which she invoked her Jewish heritage to argue against permitting the prayers, citing the famous story of George Washington's visit to the Jewish community of Newport, Rhode Island. But as I noted at the time, Kagan made a small miscue in her Jewish history lesson: she labeled Newport as "the first community of American Jews," when that honor in fact belongs to New Amsterdam (today's New York), where Jews settled in 1654.
Our post on the mistake was picked up by a variety of legal blogs, including Religion Clause and The Volokh Conspiracy. The information was also provided to the clerks' office at the high court itself. It appears that the Supreme Court got the message, because over the weekend, it corrected Kagan's dissent. Here's the relevant portion in the original opinion:
And here's the revised version:
We're gratified that the Supreme Court recognized and corrected this small error in a timely fashion. Now, if only we could get The Economist to do the same.

I have just seen a woman walking past my house in a leather jacket and its like 25C here. Is she mental or what?
I think that is GENXXX / or what ever account she/he has this week is cross dressing as usual
she's trendy
She trendy and a working girl
No.. she's cool(so she needs some warmth).. :P
SOME ppl jus DIG leather!
I knew someone that had some medical problem and felt chilly in the hot weather. She wears sweaters in the summer time. Maybe that woman has the same problem.
she may have skin problems
There used to be a set of twin ladies who lived down the street from me, who wore the same outfit every single day of the year, no matter how hot or cold it was.That outfit consisted of a pair of winter boots, a heavy orange woolen winter coat, and big fur hat and a brightly coloured striped scarf wrapped around the neck a couple of times. When I saw them, (even at the beach) on the hottest dog days of August, wearing those clothes I would watch for one or both of them to faint or die from dehydration.
Well, they certainly were different; I'll say that.
Maybe she was riding a Ducati all sexy like? lol
Probably trying for a fashion statement, weird people everywhere!
Most fashion statement people do in my eyes. Did ya see that question about gays? What a ******* ignorant *******!
No not him, some woman
Yep, fecking tool!
What is that in Fahrenheit? Sorry I'm American, we don't use this stuff.
Hot women lay eggs, she must want to brood.

17 September 2013 17:17 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--Huntsman does not plan to divest any parts of the titanium dioxide (TiO2) and performance additives businesses it has agreed to acquire from Rockwood, the CEO of the US-based chemicals firm said on Tuesday.
Under the deal announced earlier on Tuesday, Huntsman will acquire Rockwood's TiO2 business, as well as water treatment, timber treatment, specialty auto materials and colour pigments businesses. Not included is a clay-based additives business Rockwood sold to ?xml:namespace>
"Personally, I don't have any plans to see any divestitures," CEO Peter Huntsman told analysts in a webcast briefing.
"All of these are great businesses," he said, adding that they will either be part of a planned initial public offering (IPO) or may, in some cases, fit in with Huntsman's other operations.
Huntsman plans integrate the Rockwood assets with its own TiO2 business before listing the combined TiO2 business in an IPO within two years after closing the acquisition.
The Rockwood deal is expected to close in the first half of 2014, subject to regulatory approvals.

DES MOINES, Iowa Surging into top-tier contention, Republican Rick Santorum came under sharp criticism from rivals hoping to slow his momentum two days before Iowa's kickoff caucuses. The former Pennsylvania senator defended his record in Washington and cast himself as the most electable conservative alternative to front-runner Mitt Romney.
Polls showed Romney poised for a possible victory Tuesday in Iowa and Texas Rep. Ron Paul not far behind. Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann tried to make their case Sunday to peel conservative votes away from Santorum, whose meticulous campaigning across Iowa and wooing of social conservatives appeared to be paying dividends at the finish line.
"He's got a spending problem, he's got an earmark problem, he voted eight times to raise the debt ceiling in the United States Senate," Perry said on "Fox News Sunday."
Bachmann noted on the same broadcast that Santorum was soundly defeated when he ran for re-election in 2006, losing by a 59-41 margin to Democrat Bob Casey.
Santorum's campaign debuted a TV ad in Iowa that portrayed him as "a trusted conservative who gives us the best chance to take back America."
Joining rivals on the Sunday talk shows, Santorum was pressed to say whether he believed Romney had conservative values. Santorum said any of the Republican candidates would be more conservative than President Barack Obama.
"The question is, are those values ones that you can trust when they become president of the United States?" he told NBC's "Meet the Press."
Santorum defended his support for home-state spending projects, or earmarks, saying he was elected in part to bring federal money to Pennsylvania.
"I don't regret going out at the time and making sure the people of Pennsylvania - who I was elected to represent - got resources," Santorum said. But, he added, "I voted for some things that I look back and say, `Why the heck did I do that?'"
Santorum planned several campaign stops in western Iowa later Sunday.
Romney, who attended services at a Mormon church in West Des Moines, was set to appear in Atlantic and Council Bluffs as he works to maximize the edge he holds in critical areas rather than risk underperforming in places where more ardent conservatives are leery of his faith and shifting positions on social issues.
A new Des Moines Register poll found Romney with 24 percent support among likely voters in Iowa while Paul had 22 percent. Santorum place third with 15 percent, followed by Newt Gingrich, with 12 percent, and Perry, with 11 percent. Bachmann had just 7 percent support.
The poll's margin of sampling error for the full four days was plus or minus 4 percentage points. For the last two days, it was plus or minus 5.6 percentage points.
The poll showed Santorum gaining ground and Paul slipping a bit as rivals hammered him on his noninterventionist foreign policy views.
Paul, who spent the weekend at his home in Texas, stood firm on his contention that the U.S. should not bomb Iran if the country is developing a nuclear weapon.

This is a good illustration to keep near your pet's tank. It is educational, and mildly attractive, though I wouldn't go to see it at a museum.
Pros: Shows a wide variety of reptiles
Cons: They are each small, so you cannot get a lot of detail on any one reptile.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
The Zetter Hotel
86-88 Clerkenwell Road, London, England, UK
Neighborhood: Clerkenwell
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Clerkenwell, neighboring on decadent Soho, the buttoned-up City and art-damaged Shoreditch, is ground zero for London's design and creative communities, chock full of imaging labs, ad agencies, and design firms. Many of our customers will have business in and around Clerkenwell, and now they have a convenient place to stay as well. Not that there's a shortage of hip new hotels in London—this is still the most competitive hotel market in the world—but there's always room for another good one, especially in this once boutique-shy neighborhood.
Supermarket heir Mark Sainsbury has gutted one of Clerkenwell's grimiest Victorian warehouses to make room for this hotel, and the entire ground floor is devoted to new restaurant Grain Store Unleashed in order to draw as many local diners as possible. In this it is a success; the atmosphere is less that of a hotel dining room and more that of, well, exactly what it is — a smartly designed, adventurous, vegetable-forward enterprise by Chef Bruno Loubet and The Zetter Group.
The rooms are no afterthought, though. A bright, five-story atrium greets guests on their way to rooms that are equally bright, if not quite as spacious and airy. The Kubrickian whiteness of the decor is mitigated by sparing splashes of bright color, and the occasional piece of antique furniture. Penguin paperbacks and web-enabled satellite TV provide the diversions, and once it's lights out you'll appreciate the duck-down pillows and duvets.
Equally noteworthy, though perhaps less immediately apparent to the casual observer, is the sustainable approach taken to the building's conversion. A reclaimed industrial district known for its derelict printing presses and its run-down warehouses is not perhaps the first place you'd look for eco-friendly architecture; nevertheless, the Zetter carries some impressive green credentials.
Architects Chetwood Associates, best known for their sustainable Sainsbury's supermarket at Greenwich Peninsula, have worked their environmentally conscious magic on this site as well, using cold water from the near-forgotten London Aquifer to absorb waste heat, saving space and electricity by eliminating the need for a massive central air-conditioning apparatus, and to flush waste water, reducing the demand on London's clean drinking water. Access to pressurized water at a constant temperature also means less space need be given over to water storage, thus increasing the number of guest rooms, a bottom-line benefit you don't have to be a Greenpeace member to appreciate.

What I liked:
The room was asymmetric and small but it was very well thought out. Shower was great with rain shower head recessed in ceiling, heated mirror didn't steam up. Windows could be opened for fresh air. Appreciated the hot water bottle provided in the room! In the hallway of our floor was a small recessed area where there was an espresso machine available for guests use 24/7, and a vending machine of small bottles of soda & liquor for a make-your-own drink. You could actually take the stairs instead of the elevator to your level, for those who like to walk.

FOXBORO, Mass. — Tom Brady feels Robert Griffin III's pain — quite literally.
Brady, who suffered torn ligaments in his left knee during the season opener in 2008, understands the pain and long road to recovery Griffin faces after suffering a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and lateral-collateral ligament (LCL) during the Redskins' wild card loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Brady took some time out during his weekly news conference on Wednesday to reflect back on his season-ending injury with RG3's recent misfortune sparking the conversation.
"You hate to see guys injured, and I certainly wouldn't wish that injury on anybody," Brady said of Griffin's now twice surgically repaired knee.
Griffin, who had surgery on the knee while at Baylor in 2009, wowed NFL fans with his speed and strength throughout the season. He tore up opposing defenses on a near weekly basis and even earned a Pro Bowl nod as a rookie. But his durability seemed to be an issue as the season wore on, missing Week 15 with a sprained right knee before suffering a much worse fate in his lone playoff appearance.
Brady knows the arduous path Griffin will have to endure in returning to the field for next season, but using his own personal experience and understanding the injury as a guide, he seemed confident Griffin would have no problem getting back to full health.
"It's a physical game. It takes its toll. It's not an easy game. I think you try to be mentally and physically tough," Brady said. "We've had guys injured. Houston has plenty of guys injured. That's just part of the season."
Griffin's expected timetable for return is six to eight months and the early prognosis is that he will be ready for the start of the 2013 regular season. He might not have quite the impressive return that Adrian Peterson did in 2012, but if he comes back at even three-quarters the health Brady did in 2009 then the Redskins will be just fine.

Originally written on Pirates Prospects | Last updated 11/17/14
The Pirates have a decision to make on James McDonald this week. – Photo by Mark Olson James McDonald is set to return this week. There has already been a lot of discussion about whether McDonald should be on the 25-man roster. In yesterday's article about Gerrit Cole there were a lot of comments about how McDonald should be gone to create a spot for Cole. The Pirates could keep both, so that shouldn't be an issue. A year ago today, McDonald had a 2.19 ERA in 90.1 innings with an 83:24 K/BB ratio. He had a horrible second half, and finished with a 4.21 ERA, which lined up exactly with his FIP and xFIP numbers. That was also the second straight year he put up a 4.21 ERA in 171 innings. I'm not sure if McDonald will return to that ERA again this year, although that would be weird. With the way the current rotation is set up, there would be no need for McDonald as a starter, especially since he has struggled this year in the role. The Pirates will have Jeff Locke, Francisco Liriano, Gerrit Cole, Charlie Morton, and Jeanmar Gomez when McDonald returns. The best bet would be to put him in the bullpen, and there would definitely be space, as Duke Welker and Ryan Reid both have options and can be sent to Triple-A. A lot of people seem to be quick to just throw McDonald away, which is odd because it's not like someone like Ryan Reid has more upside. McDonald is only a year removed from putting up some amazing numbers. That would be like if Jeff Locke struggled the rest of the year, struggled over 29 innings next year, then people started calling for him to be released. That's not to say there haven't been concerns with McDonald. It's just saying that McDonald should be given more of a chance. The Pirates don't really need to make a decision on McDonald being on the roster until A.J. Burnett returns. That could be a few weeks, and if we assume that everyone else in the rotation remains healthy, that could create a situation where the Pirates have to decide between McDonald and Bryan Morris. That gives McDonald a few weeks to show that he can provide value in the majors. There are concerns with McDonald. He's struggled for most of the last 365 days. A year ago he had great numbers, but it was all downhill from there. His velocity has also gone downhill. In 2010 and 2011 he was close to 96 MPH for his maximum velocity on his fastball. His average velocity was around 92.5. In 2012 those numbers dropped to 95 and 91.8. This year he has seen a big drop. His maximum velocity has been 93.2 MPH, which is almost 2 MPH slower than last year, and 3 MPH slower than 2010-11. His average is 90.4, which is almost 1.5 MPH less than last year, and almost 2 MPH slower than the year before. Those concerns expressed, there are some signs of hope that McDonald could provide value in the bullpen. First of all, he wouldn't be the first starting pitcher who has struggled, moved to the bullpen, and had success. He also might benefit from working off a two pitch mix, going with his fastball and curveball. The curve has a career .161 BAA and has almost a 45% strikeout rate. If he went with a fastball/curveball combo, he could put up the dominating strikeout numbers you'd hope for out of a reliever. Also, if he only had to worry about 1-2 innings, he might settle down and cut back on his command issues, while also bringing more velocity. The argument boils down to this: McDonald has struggled for the last year and the Pirates can't afford to keep struggling players on the roster while contending. vs McDonald has shown some great stuff in the past, and was putting up phenomenal numbers a year ago, and the Pirates can't afford to let him go if he could provide value. It's not going to hurt to give McDonald a shot over the next few weeks. Considering the numbers he had a year ago, and the stuff we've seen from him in the past, it would be foolish to just give up on him. That's not to say he should have a roster spot locked down the rest of the year. He's still going to have to perform and earn the right to keep the spot. But until everyone in the rotation returns, he should have time to establish himself out of the bullpen, and show he can still provide value to the team.

Favorite Tie-Front Cashmere Sweater 51 51
I like the longer length on this sweater! I have purchased at least 4 in the past and although I still like my shorter ones, this is lovely on as well and tying it lower or letting it fall gracefully enables it to look better with leggings. May 17, 2015
pretty sweater I purchased the cashmere tie sweater in peony pink--it is a beautiful color. I love the sweater I purchased a med I think it runs a tad small. The cashmere is very soft, although I have felt softer cashmere. Beautiful sweater--not bulky. May 15, 2015
Eyeing this for years Bought this in the past and returned it as didn't love it, but tried again with the longer length and really like it. Its not as soft as the cashmere wrap I got a few months ago - in fact a little scratchy on the sleeves that don't seem to be finished at the wrists but overall expect will wear this all the time. May 15, 2015
Great sweater Great quality of cashmere. I would recommend sizing down. I think it runs big. May 14, 2015
Dreamy coverup Very pleased with this sweater--so soft, lovely subtle pink and great fit. Perfect for cool evenings and air conditioned areas. Plan to order additional color. May 13, 2015
Great Basic Sweater Great piece for the basic wardrobe must have. I ordered a size larger than Normal for a comfortable fit over another top. Very soft and a quality knit. Looks good with skirts and slacks. March 29, 2015

There have been many euphemistic labels applied to secondhand goods, including "gently used," "pre-owned" and "like new." But in the current economy, they have a new and candid label: "hot sellers."
As Americans look for ways to cut spending, they are scooping up bargain clothes, accessories, toys and furniture once owned by someone else.
"We're sorry about the economic situation, … but it is a good time for our industry," says Adele Meyer, executive director of the National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops.
Three-fourths of resale stores said they had higher sales in September and October, compared with the same period last year, according to the trade group. The average sales increase was about 35%.
Pam Shecter of Staten Island in New York is helping to prop up those numbers. She once made a lucrative salary, but after she was laid off, her family had to cut back.
To cut spending, she shops at garage sales, thrift stores and on eBay for herself, her husband (a freelancer who does special-effects makeup) and their 2-year-old daughter.
Among her "pre-owned" finds: a kitchen play set for her daughter for $20 at a garage sale.
"It's weird to go from feeling like you're one of the wealthiest people in the country to going to secondhand stores," Shecter says. But given her family's financial situation, she has to be "resourceful and creative."
While economic troubles are spurring secondhand sales, trend researcher Irma Zandl says, "The appeal goes beyond bargain hunting."
Some buyers, she says, like the feeling of social responsibility that comes with buying "recycled" goods, while others pride themselves on ferreting out unique — and fashionable — "vintage" outfits by shopping secondhand.
Myrna Skoller, who owns the Designer Resale store on Manhattan's tony Upper East Side, says her shoppers "brag about it when they get (merchandise) at a good price," she says. "It's almost a status symbol to get something cheaper."
In a survey last summer, 70% of adults said buying used is more socially acceptable now than five or 10 years ago, according to the poll by Harris Interactive and eBay.
"I don't think there's as much of a stigma on buying clothing and accessories at a discount, especially now that the economy is doing what it's doing," says Milo Bernstein, co-owner of high-end New York City consignment shop chain Ina.
Where shoppers are scooping up secondhand goods:
• EBay. Shecter says she regularly browses the online auction site for bargain purchases: "I would say that anything I'm going to get, I pretty much check on eBay first." So do others, apparently: Nearly 4% of people surveyed by BIGresearch in September said they shop at eBay on a regular basis, up from 2.1% a year earlier.
• Flea markets. Vendors at Jamie's Flea Market in South Amherst, Ohio, are doing hot business, even in cold, wet, wintry weather. "I do believe it's due to (the fact that) times are tough," says general manager Lorna Balmert.
At Brooklyn Flea, an outdoor market in the Fort Greene area of New York City, sales also are up, says co-founder Eric Demby. He says that in these times, a customer's ability to haggle over price helps sales. "If people feel that they have some control over (the price), then it feels like more of a bargain."
The economy also has sellers willing to negotiate, says Brooklyn Flea antique vendors Karen and Albert Williams. "It's a buyers market," Albert says.

Bruno the Boxer
A day in the life with Bruno the Boxer. 1 year, 7 months—96 pounds, 24 1/2 inches from the ground to the highest point of the shoulders (the withers).
1 year, 7 months old (19 months).
Bruno after one of his long walks. That tongue never seems to fit into his mouth.
Bruno Totally Busted!
Bruno is such a good boy. Seriously. He has turned out to be the best dog I have ever owned. He is excellent with children, does not jump on them. Heels very well on a leash, even for a small child, never even wanting to pass the human. Is always willing to perform tricks for the kids. A real pleasure to walk. Knows the "wait" command very well. When in the car he will not jump out until given the command. Will stop in his tracks if we ask him to, even if he is on the hunt of an animal. Waits for humans to pass through doorways before he even tries to go, heck he even waits for cats to pass first. Is excellent off leash. Walks away while his food is being prepared, the utmost respect a dog can give to the higher members of the pack: to give space when food is around. If Bruno is eating and a cat comes to his bowl, he will leave and allow the cat to finish before going back to his food. He accepts the cats as alpha over him. If Bruno picks something up in his mouth and we say "Drop it" the object drops on the ground instantly, or as long as it takes for him to spit it out of his fat mouth. If we say "Leave it" he leaves whatever it is alone. Even if it is food. Neighbors have called us asking for help with their own dogs and we have brought Bruno with us, even for aggressive cases. Bruno was excellent. He had confidence in the humans and never tried to dominate the dogs himself. We can open the front door and tell him the wait. He only goes when we tell him to. As submissive as he his, he still goes into guard-dog mode if he sees or hears something outside that he feels is just not right. There is no doubt in my mind that he would protect his family if he felt a person had bad intentions. Yet when he is in this guard-dog mode we can tell him to be quiet, even with just a hand signal and he will stop, watching us very closely for our next command. Very in-tune with the humans around him. Check out "dogbreedinfo" on YouTube for clips of Bruno, then to see more of his younger years do a general search for "Bruno the Boxer."
For those of you who now want Boxers, Bruno's temperament is not a result of him being a Boxer; it is not a result of his breeder. Bruno's temperament was "made" by the humans around him who use Cesar's Way on an ongoing basis. This dog is a product of the Dog Whisperer!
But is my boy perfect? NO, my boy is SO BUSTED! What you see below is a web cam that points up the driveway from the front window. That is a golf cart parked on the porch. These pictures appear in the order they were taken by the camera.
This is Bruno on the front seat of the golf cart.
This is Bruno jumping into the back of the golf cart.
Bruno checking out what's in the cart.
Bruno peering into the window. Note: there is no human on the other side, just a camera taking pictures.
Bruno, just what are you doing?
BUSTED! Bruno is picking up some rope that is in the back of the cart. This explains why there are things in the yard from time to time that the kids swear up and down were in the golf cart, not left to lay out in the yard.
Nose down again.
Bruno looking around. This is all the camera took for the moment, but it proves my boy does like to jump in the back of the golf cart and steal things. We have never caught him to tell him "NO," but he is still so BUSTED! Gotta love that pup!
Remember those awful fights Allie the Boxer used to get into with the Great Pyrenees, Tundra and Tacoma? Take a look at them now!
Taking Allie for pack walks with the Great Pyrenees has made a world of difference. There are no more fights, no more looks, no more avoidance. They have now accepted one another.
Walking these four dogs is a real pleasure.
Amie out on a pack walk with the Great Pyrenees, Tundra and Tacoma, and the Boxers, Bruno and Allie. No hands are needed. The dogs do not even try and get in front.
A little more than halfway through the walk Allie started limping on her bad knee and we had someone come and pick her up to give her a ride back home. Allie loves the walks but is not quite able to go for very long ones. We are hoping she continues to get better after her stem cell therapy. Bruno decides to lick Tundra in the mouth. I think he was thirsty! YUCK!

Originally written on Goon's World | Last updated 11/17/14
When the news of the Rau hit on Zucker first broke last weekend, someone from the Tigers fan base brought up a questionable hit that Zucker had put on Colorado College Tigers forward Nick Dineen, during a recent Gold Pan game between C.C. and DU.
Interesting that this article came out today, it's good that this is being brought up.
Brian Gomez, Eye of the Tigers --- Colorado College center Nick Dineen (above) maintains he was the victim of a "cheap shot" from Denver left wing Jason Zucker in a Feb. 4 game in which he endured a concussion, and in a strange twist, if Zucker had been suspended, he too wouldn't have been injured.Someone also suggested it was a "karma" thing for Zucker as well.
Dineen was knocked out in the first period of a 2-2 tie at World Arena that gave CC the Gold Pan, crushed so hard by Zucker that he admitted he doesn't remember grimacing in pain on the ice, talking to Tigers trainer Jason Bushie or skating to the locker room. After Dineen was demolished by Zucker, he lost track of pretty much everything until Bushie was doing a concussion test on him. Even then, his head felt like an indescribable haze.
CC was on the penalty kill when Dineen headed toward the corner with Zucker in pursuit. "I went to get the puck, and I was kind of turned toward the boards, and Zucker came in, and left his feet, and elbowed me right in the back of the head," said Dineen, whose head struck the boards as he crumbled to the ice. Zucker didn't draw a penalty for the blow.
This brings up the argument and has the potential to open up a whole new can of worms. Don Lucia asked the question earlier in the week. "You can go back to incidents -- what deserves extra and what doesn't?" Lucia has a point.
The problem is that there is no transparency in this league. It would be interesting to know why one hit was worthy of a suspension and another hit was not. I would be nice to see the WCHA communicate like the NHL does.
Whether it's fair or not, these kinds of decisions also makes the league look like a bunch of bumbling buffoons that make decision in a smoke filled room. It also gives the impression that the refs call games and hand out suspension based on the team uniforms involved in the incident.
So why is one hit worthy of a suspension, while an equally questionable hit, that appears to be just as bad, is not worthy of a suspension or even a five minute major and a game misconduct?
This isn't the first time I have seen it suggested that Zucker should have been suspended for his hit on Nick Dineen… I seen people suggest that the only reason that the league suspended Rau was the game was on National TV and it would have been an embarrassment to the WCHA if they had failed to act in this instance. I don't know. Others have suggested that the suspension was because Bruce McLeod's office is in Denver.

It'll be a snowy morning Wednesday, yet schoolchildren from more than 30 schools around the state will put on their boots and ambulate to class as part of Wisconsin's first "Winter Walk to School Day."
The event promotes walking to school safely year-round, and hopes to show it can be fun, healthy habit — even in the heart of a Wisconsin winter.
A few Milwaukee schools plan to lure potential pedestrians with treats.
Coffee and hot cocoa will await students and parents who walk to Fernwood Montessori in Milwaukee, and flags have been put up at some nearby intersections to help with crossing.
"There will be bags of goodies for elementary school kids and a poster to sign, and middle schoolers will get a pencil," said Heather Osborne, the event's coordinator at Fairview School.
McKinley Elementary School in Wauwatosa is also participating, though they'll celebrate later in the month, on Feb. 19.
International Walk to School Day, another event that Wisconsin schools take part in, occurs the first Wednesday of October.
If you or your child are walking to school Wednesday, here are some tips to stay safe from the East Central Wisconsin Regional Safe Routes to School program:
■ Always use sidewalks or paths. If there are none, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible.
■ Make sure drivers can see you: wear bright colors or reflective clothing.
■ Always use crosswalks when possible.
■ Weatherize: Wear a hat, gloves, winter boots and other clothes that can protect you from the cold.
Schools have a chance to win $200. Students can track their physical activity through Saturday at wi.fireupyourfeet.org. The Wisconsin school with the most participants tracking at least one activity will win.

Danielle Sanchez
— MPS, Africana Studies, Cornell University
- E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Danielle Sanchez is a doctoral candidate in the Department of History at the University of Texas at Austin. She received a Masters in Africana Studies from Cornell University. Her dissertation, "Free(ing) France in Colonial Brazzaville: Race, Urban Space, and the Making of Afrique Française Libre," examines Brazzaville's role in remaking the Free France movement after the fall of France in 1940. It is relatively unknown that after metropolitan France fell to the Germans, French Equatorial Africa was one of the first places within the French empire to rally behind Charles de Gaulle to continue the fight against fascism. Suddenly, Brazzaville, a marginal city in the French empire prior to the fall of France, became the capital of Afrique Française Libre. It provided a geographical base for the Gaullist cause and offered a semblance of legitimacy to this movement through propaganda campaigns that presented a Brazzaville that was fierce, loyal, and modern. Yet, Europeans and Africans experienced both the city and the war in a variety of ways that often contradicted official propaganda campaigns during Brazzaville's time as the capital of Afrique Française Libre. Thus, her dissertation analyzes the international imagining of AFL through the simultaneous constructions of virtual and physical Brazzavilles. However, she also delves into how French efforts to reconstruct the city heavily influenced many aspects of daily life within the capital, ranging from food shortages, displacement, the increased policing of African bodies, and the development of multiple avenues of resistance among Africans.
This project dramatically re-centers the Second World War by following sources that emphasize the profound value of Brazzaville following the fall of France. Brazzaville is integral to understanding not only France's progression in the war, but also the repercussions of decades of colonial neglect and forcing Africans to participate in a war effort that emphasized the hypocrisy of colonial rule. Furthermore, this project draws attention to a history of the Second World War in Africa that pushes beyond military recruitment or forced labor and considers the lived experiences of a population that felt the repercussions of this global conflict in their daily lives.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich confronted striker Didier Drogba over his dismissal in last week's Champions League final, it has been revealed.
The People says during the morning after, Abramovich, who was hosting the five-star stay at one of Moscow's top hotels, waited until tempers had cooled before talking to the hitman - and witnesses reveal that he left Drogba in no doubt about his feelings.
The Chelsea owner told Drogba the penalty kick defeat was 'his fault' and that he needed to 'cool down' and there was 'no excuse' for slapping Nemanja Vidic.
An insider said: "Roman made sure he told Drogba his opinions.
"He wasn't angry or shouting, but was upset by the fact that he let him down - Drogba is a player he usually likes."

In the weeks leading up the 2006 NFL draft, with fans and media debating what Houston should do with the first overall pick, then-Texans general manager Charley Casserly placed a call to Mike Tannenbaum, the New York Jets' new general manager at the time. Casserly was preparing to make a critical selection for a floundering franchise and wanted to explore the possibility of a trade. But when Casserly asked Tannenbaum what he was willing to give up for the pick, he was struck by the reply. "I think you've got it backwards, Charley," Tannenbaum said. "I'm wondering what you'll give me to take that pick off your hands."
Casserly can chuckle about that moment today because he no longer has to fret over the difficult decision of deciding on the first pick in the draft. He can relate to the general manager who will find himself in the position next spring to make a choice similar to the one he faced seven years ago. Casserly ultimately chose defensive end Mario Williams over running back Reggie Bush. In May, another GM may have to decide between a dominant defender and a talented offensive player, both of whom could be early entrants in the 2014 draft: South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
Even with all the predictable shifting that will occur over the next few months, those two underclassmen dominate the conversation as the potential top pick in this upcoming draft. Clowney, a 6-foot-5, 258-pound junior, has been the undisputed leader of the pack ever since producing a jaw-dropping, highlight-reel hit on Michigan running back Vincent Smith in last season's Outback Bowl. Bridgewater, also a junior, has been incredibly efficient (25 touchdown passes and only three interceptions) and surely will benefit from Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, whom scouts regarded as the top signal-caller in the country, deciding to stay in school next fall.
The problem is that although Bridgewater is the best quarterback right now, Clowney is the better prospect.
That means some team could face the daunting task of deciding between a once-in-a-lifetime talent or a quarterback who isn't guaranteed to be elite.
"That will be a very tough choice if that scenario ends up playing out that way," said ESPN NFL analyst Billy Devaney, who was the St. Louis Rams general manager from 2008 to 2011. "When you're picking first, you don't want to hear about a player's upside. That's a general manager's nightmare."
The popular thinking is that Bridgewater would be the obvious selection for any team picking at No. 1. A franchise in that position is likely to need a quarterback, and that position has dominated the top of the draft for nearly two decades. In the past 16 drafts, 12 quarterbacks have been selected first overall. Only two defensive players have been chosen No. 1 during that same period, and both played the same position as Clowney: Williams and former Cleveland Browns defensive end Courtney Brown, the top choice in the 2000 draft and one of the biggest busts in recent memory.
