RebateWager (SBR rating B) will no longer accept new users. Management tells SBR the move will allow the sportsbook to focus on its active business. Existing RebateWager customers have historically reported positive feedback on customer service and payment time. RebateWager's unique offering was to give large rebates on losing wagers per week for players choosing the cash-back account setting. RebateWager tells SBR that the player registration change aside, it is business as usual.
SBRforum announces a Free NCAAF Contest. The contest runs throughout the 2010 College Football season and has a prize-pool of $1,750. Visit SBRforum for instructions on how to play.
RebateWager (SBR rating B-) has updated its rules page with clearer terms on open parlays and teasers, following the October 28th dispute which culminated in RebateWager paying a player for the first three legs of a four-leg teaser that was placed outside of the allowed time-frame.
RebateWager rule: "Open parlays and teasers must be closed in the same calendar week that they are opened. Failure to do so will result in the wager being scored as a loss. You cannot bet opposite sides of the same game in an open parlay if you have a pending parlay involving that game."
RebateWager (SBR rating B-) has paid the player whose winning open teaser was graded as a loss. RebateWager's posted rule on open teasers is that all teaser legs must be filled within one week. However, RebateWager has stated its standard procedure is to honor all accepted wagers and legs of open teasers. RebateWager paid the first three legs of the teaser which were placed in the allowed time-frame. The book cites multiple warnings to this player as for honoring only the teaser legs within the 1 week stated period. | View initial report
RebateWager (SBR rating B-) has allegedly nullified a winning teaser wager. A player bet a $500 4-team "open teaser," a teaser that allows the bettor to fill legs of his teaser after the commitment to the teaser wager is made. The first two selections were placed on Sunday October 18th. The final two selections were placed the following Sunday October 25th, with the fourth pick being the Monday Night Football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins. The player won all four legs. RebateWager debited the account $2,000 citing a rule that stated all open slots of this teaser must be placed within one week. SBR will inquire with RebateWager about where the rule exists and their position on the dispute.
RebateWager earned its second upgrade in 2009. The sportsbook continues to seek feedback from players and SBR and has no pending or unresolved complaints. RebateWager first opened its post-up operation under the Blackdog name in 2007. After a rocky introduction by its sales department, management has provided industry references and has been transparent with SBR inquiries. SBRforum poster feedback has also been positive. Players should be aware that SBR still considers RebateWager a relatively new sportsbook and advises online sport bettors use books rated B+ or higher.

Utility Oversight:
Survey of State Public Utility Commissions on Utility Commission Authorities and Reporting Responsibilities For Overseeing Utilities Since the Passage of EPAct 2005 (GAO-08-290SP, February 2008), an E-supplement to GAO-08-289
GAO-08-290SP: Published: Feb 25, 2008. Publicly Released: Feb 25, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3168
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This document is the companion product to GAO-08-289, which was released on March 7, 2008. This document presents the results of GAO's survey of the staff of state commissions that oversee regulated electrical and natural gas utilities. The responses represent the views of these staff and may not represent the formal position or informal opinions of state commissions or any specific commissioner. We conducted an internet-based survey of state utility commissions in the 50 states and the District of Columbia to determine states' current regulatory authorities, recent oversight activities, and available resources for regulating utilities. In addition, we asked utility commissions for their views on utility regulation in light of the passage of EPAct 2005--particularly their views of federal agency authorities related to utility mergers, oversight of affiliate transactions, and financial reporting. Note, some survey questions cover periods prior to the passage of EPAct 2005.
To ensure that we obtained information from those staff with knowledge of state electric and natural gas regulation, we obtained designated staff contact points for each commission from the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), a national organization that represents state public utility commissions, then sent letters to the chairmen of each utility commission describing our survey and its purpose, and asking them to confirm these contacts or to designate a more appropriate contact. For security and data integrity purposes, we provided each official with a username and password to access and complete the survey. We received responses from 49 states plus the District of Columbia, although officials did not always provide responses to every question. One state declined to respond due to other high priority activities occurring at the time of our survey. Because we administered the survey to all of the state public utility commissions, our results are not subject to sampling error. However, the practical difficulties of conducting any survey may introduce other types of errors, commonly referred to as nonsampling errors. For example, differences in how a particular question is interpreted, the sources of information available to respondents in answering a question, or the types of people who do not respond can introduce unwanted variability into the survey results To reduce nonsampling errors, we had knowledgeable officials at NARUC review the survey to make sure they understood the questions. We also pretested the survey with two states to ensure that (1) the questions were clear and unambiguous, (2) terminology was used correctly (3) the survey did not place an undue burden on commission officials, and (4) the survey was comprehensive and unbiased. In selecting the pretest sites, we sought the advice of NARUC and selected states that had different types of regulatory requirements. We incorporated these reviewers' comments into the final survey. A discussion of our scope and methodology and a discussion related to some of the survey results are contained in our report entitled: "Utility Oversight: Recent Changes in Law Call for Improved Vigilance by FERC" GAO-08-289. We conducted our survey work from January 8, 2007 to June 30, 2007 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.

An Evolving Intersection: Legal Ethics and Social Media
On many social media platforms, such as LinkedIn, Avvo, Twitter, Google+, Martindale Hubble, and Facebook, opportunities exist for colleagues as well as clients to recommend and/or endorse an attorney. Some of these "recommendations" take the form of written descriptions of the attorney by colleagues/clients. Others are simply accomplished by a computer click, such as a "Star" rating on Facebook or a "Skills & Endorsements" notation on LinkedIn. While these social media recommendations are labeled differently by the various platforms, states' rules of professional conduct likely apply to all such recommendations as advertisements. See Model Rules / Maryland Lawyers Rules of Professional Conduct (MLRPC) 7.1
Even though recommendations are generally provided by third parties and not by attorneys , most opinions agree that if an attorney has "claimed" or used a profile on a social media platform, then the attorney has the ethical responsibility to review the platform for any ethical violations. See Model / MLRPC 7.1 and 7.2. Some social media platforms, such as Avvo and Martindale Hubble, generate attorney profiles from bar association memberships without input from the profiled attorneys. Attorneys can "claim" these profiles by requesting access to or by updating profiles.
South Carolina Ethics Advisory Opinion 09-10 concludes that by "claiming" a social media profile, an attorney becomes responsible for all the content of the profile including any third-party recommendations. Thus, when a profile is "claimed," attorneys are required to pay attention to whether their use of a social media platform complies with applicable state's rules of professional conduct.
The very description or heading of a recommendation category can itself constitute a violation of the rules of professional conduct. For example, by default, some social media platforms will categorize an attorney as an "expert" or a "specialist." Under many states' rules of professional conduct, attorneys cannot hold themselves out to be "specialists" or "experts" in the law, unless the attorney is certified by an accrediting body approved by the American Bar Association and certain disclosures are made. See Model / MLRPC 7.4.
New York State Ethics Opinion 972 concludes that an attorney may not list his or her practice areas under the heading "specialties" on a social media platform unless the attorney is a properly-certified specialist. Social media platforms frequently change their recommendation titles; thus, an attorney must regularly review his or her profile to be certain that the titles of the headings are not improperly adjusted so as to create an ethical violation.
New York County Lawyers Association Professional Ethics Committee Opinion 748 concludes that LinkedIn platform's "Skills & Endorsements" category does not constitute a specialist violation under Rule 7.4, and further, "[i]f an attorney believes an endorsement or recommendation is not accurate, the attorney should exclude it from his or her profile."
The method that social media recommendations are obtained can also give rise to a violation of a state's rules of professional conduct. While all ethics opinions acknowledge that an attorney cannot pay for a recommendation or enter into a reciprocal recommendation (see Model / MLRPC 7.2), ethics opinions have been divided on the issue of recommendation solicitation.
For example, Andrew Perlman (Chief Reporter for the ABA Commission on Ethics 20/20) has observed that New York would permit an attorney to make a simple request for a recommendation from a former client. Similarly, Michael P. Downey (former Chair of the Illinois State Bar Association Standing Committee on Professional Conduct) has commented that LinkedIn endorsements are ethically proper, provided the recommendation contains no false statements and is not given on a quid pro quo basis.
South Carolina Ethics Advisory Opinion 09-10, however, creates a fine line concerning solicitation of recommendations. The Opinion provides, on one hand, that for attorneys' websites, an attorney may not solicit or allow any recommendations whatsoever. Notwithstanding this prohibition as to attorneys' websites, the Opinion provides that, for social media pages, an attorney may solicit or allow recommendations provided any such recommendation is presented in a way that would not be misleading or likely to create unjustified expectations.
Finally, in contrast to the hazard warnings from ethics committees and attorneys, Joshua M. King (General Counsel for Avvo) takes a more liberal view. Mr. King asserts, through social media posts, that attorneys cannot be liable for recommendations by third parties because any rules of professional conduct would be preempted by Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230).
So, the lesson learned from these opinions is that lawyers should remain vigilant regarding, not only their own websites, but also to social media sites in which they affirmatively participate as this area of law continues to evolve from state to state.

Well in response to those posts on "fun":
Picard: I would question the idea that there were no doctors, fireman etc playing MMO's back in the day of EQ and DAOC. I found that idea rather odd, who do you think were playing, just students? I do believe the MMO genre changed as those who were not as ardent gamers were drawn into online gaming. At the same time solo gamers also had a bigger impact on the genre's gameplay.
I am not arguing for a return to the old huge time sink days, just the recognition that we have gone too far the other way to instant gratification. There is a balance in there somewhere, it will not be the same for us all but it does not have to be twenty days play to get a level or twenty minutes play to get a level.
Axehilt: Indeed, I think gratification needs to be sated in the short and long term. This is a tricky one, are players going to put up with new titles and the like while leveling takes longer? But if you don't have more than one carrot, the rabbit is going to finish the race really fast.
Lizard bones: I was over simplifying the issue. The gaming studios are not the big bad guy here. To a certain extent we got what we paid for. I do think "fun" is the main emphasis of MMOs for the past few years now though. Check out the dev and producer interviews on this site they always get that buzzword in. When you can buy most of the rewards in a cash shop, they just are not as important. You mention how SWTOR did not hit the right note. For me the Space Mini game was an exercise in how not to make a MMO, they made a mini game that was solo and had no relevance to the game as a whole. Either of those issues can doom a mini game, but both together! I should point out that overall I enjoyed my time in SWTOR but long term it fell short.
Kyerlan: Same here, most of the players I knew when I started MMO's had jobs, they still do and now have even more responsibilities yet still find time to play MMOs the old way. Most of us don't put in as many hours, but most have also not jumped to easyMMO's. Having said that most of our MMO's have become easier like it or not.

You stated An adrenaline rush delivers pleasure, and therefore is fun. Soldiers do experience adrenaline rushes in combat situations, and according to you adrenaline rush delivers pleasure and therefore it is fun.
An alternative explanation to why adrenaline junkies want adrenaline rushes: they simply prefer the state in which they feel adrenaline rushes or at the very least they think they prefer that state. A person can prefer something over something else for other reasons than "this gives me pleasure while this does not give me pleasure".
It may be as simple as: they think the normal day life is too monotonous and they wish to feel something; not necessarely something that gives them pleasure, but at least something that isn't the same as usual. Which can explain why certain people choose to inflict pain to themselves.
Another concept of interest: the act of doing something you actually strongly dislike doing, just to feel the state of "relief" when it is done.
It is probably not too uncommon among MMORPG players in grindy repetitive games.

You got entangled in your own argument, and are desperately struggling to try to still not go out as being the one who was wrong. Lemme give you a hint: it's too late for that.
I suggest you a read though since you are a dictionary addict... look up the definition of two words: "consensual" and "virtual". Hopefully you'll understand what I mean.

I don't think you mean fun, I think you mean less social. MMO's today seem to be online single player games. Even in final fantasy arr beta I found little reason to actually talk to anybody. Guild wars 2 same thing, you don't need to comuinicate and working together feels like working with extremely smart AI instead of human beings. I had not most fun in wow when I was raiding with my guild, we actually had to talk to each other to complete most fights. In final fantasy 11 you had to talk to people or you would never level up, or get anything done.
Mmo's should still be made as fun as possible, but need to be more social, and less single player-ish, is what I think.
Originally posted by Jean-Luc_Picard
Yes, keep attempting to attack your perceived notions about my intentions.
People can have fun playing FPS games for sure, but that doesn't mean that everyone is playing them for fun. That's a reason for why the connection between adrenaline and fun is of importance. Evidently it is not certain that an adrenaline rush is fun per se; a case of interest to investigate if one were to claim so is the case where soldiers in combat situations have adrenaline rushes.
Furthermore games per se are not restricted to videogames or even contemporary videogames. One can analyze the abstract concept of a "game" without letting yourself be chained by any practical implementation of that concept. In other forms of cultural work, other forms of games have been investigated.
A "game" does not need to be without real life consequences.
Something that is "consensual" does not need to be beneficial for both parties.

Boring grind that eventually leads to you feeling relief later on when you finish it, seems to be a non-fun mechanism that AAA development use. However, I do think I remember your viewpoint on it, that they should stop trying to make long-term games and instead focus on doing games that are fun for a few weeks. (An opinion that I am not sure if I agree with; since I do not know what option would create a more diverse MMORPG genre)

The bottomline is games need to be fun. I don't play anything non-fun grind.
Now if a game has good combat and farming is fun, i will play (like D3) a while. Otherwise, i may just finish the content and leave.
Oh .. hopping around shorter games certainly means more diverse experiences.

I guess I'm a bit confused as to what usage of gratify doesn't involve a rewarding or satisfying feeling. Gratification is by definition pleasing.
So hardly anyone would find Battle Royale remotely gratifying. Mostly they'd consider it morbid torture.

Why are you saying leveling needs to take longer? While I can see a game managing to be short-term gratifying even with slower leveling, fast leveling provides some pretty clear functions in modern MMORPGs and without a strong reason to change it such a change would be pretty arbitrary.

And what is wrong with "the rabbit finishing the race pretty fast"? Just give the rabbit another race. Or something else to do.
Originally posted by nariusseldon
Nothing is "wrong" with that, it's just inferior (for developers and players) to a game where you want to stick with things far longer. In the most extreme cases (comparing a quick-burn game with WOW) it's dramatically inferior.
A game players are willing to stay with long-term represents a higher quality game.

Today's games are like Prozac. They take out all the lows which in turn, does away with the highs. They are like a mountain range without valleys. I remember working hard for a long period of time to get a piece of quest armor and it felt like a real reward. Now days you can log in and do a bunch of quests in one night with each giving you a piece of armor or a weapon. I haven't played an MMO for very long in a while. I can find more challenge in games on my phone.

This again...sigh. Amazing that game players, of all people, would feel so embarrassed about having fun playing games that they have to pretend they do it for other, higher reasons.
Mind you,"fun" is a term so gigantic that it looses meaning. It's right up there with "good" or "bad" or "nice" in its meaninglessness.
A much more meaningful discussion would be something like, "I don't have fun executing the required choreography for a raid boss fight after the 23rd time or so. Do you?"

I will only play a game longer if it is naturally fun. There is no need to prolong my involvement in a game just because.

A month ago I was totally intimidated and scared of bitters, what they were, and how to use them. A recent encounter changed that.
It all began with a cocktail drink at Patois in New Orleans. The beautiful drink menu started off with a lovely champagne cocktail that was something like this: Champagne, Cointreau, Orange Bitters and a twist of orange. Sounds simple right?
I turn to Nathalie and Brett and ask, "What exactly IS Orange Bitters?" I am not the biggest fan of orange-infused anything and I wanted to be SURE to make the best of the most delicious cocktail that evening. Drew explained that bitters are essentially any fruit or spice marinated in 100% Pure Grain Alcohol. Nathalie added, "You can make it yourself."

My favorite thing is to go where I have never been. -Diane Arbus
A little something about me: I moved to the Bay area a little over a year ago and I am still exploring my new home. I have a great love of the outdoors which I inherited from my childhood growing up in Idaho. I love dressing up but will always pick going for a hike over wearing heels. Some things I love are: long day hikes, moonlit snowshoes, breakfast for dinner, petrichor, experiencing new cultures, thunderstorms, good food and quality time with my friends. I'll admit to being a bit of a geek - I have a soft-spot for horror/scifi books and movies. A few years ago I got my first digital camera and love experimenting with different types of photography. My newest experiments have been with long exposure. You can usually find me and my camera chasing clouds on the beach or on top of a mountain. I've been fortunate to have had many great adventures traveling. Some of my favorite places are Peru, Cambodia, Bali, and the South of France. Next up: Patagonia, Madagascar, Portugal, the list is never ending... I have a quirky and sweet Weimaraner named, Cinder. She has been my hiking companion and best friend for the past 13 years and now, in her old age, I love to give her lots of cuddles. Her favorite napping spot is in front of the fireplace. A little something about you: I value intelligence, kindness, and good communication in a partner. Great conversation, a sense of adventure, and a love of the outdoors goes a long way with me. Know who you are, what you want, and be open to new ideas and experiences. Little things make a difference: open doors, listen attentively, be kind to strangers. I'm looking for someone to have fun with( a partner in crime), who likes spending time together and is comfortable being independent. You don't have to do what I love, but I hope you do a few things you love. Here's a tip from me to you: emails go a lot further than winks. And if you have a photo of yourself shirtless in the mirror with a camera phone, we probably won't get along.

Hi everyone,
I have sprained my back. Apparently I am not a superhero as I had previously thought (well, at least not Wolverine, anyway).
This is probably due to coming from a family that is so hard-headed each person must do everything themselves. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this and what did you do to get better? I believe the reason was because I unfortunately twisted to get a heavy box of books out of the car. Two days later I was walking down the street and suddenly felt like I'd been shot in the back, fell into the snow and couldn't get up again.
I've read some things about it, and it seems to be generally believed that this only happens to the physically unfit. That is not really me, as I've been in training for a while now and am quite physically active. I guess there is something to be said about overdoing it.

Re: Back sprain
Heated car seat
Heating pad
Heated seat cushion
Soak in bathtub
Steam room
Microwave hot towel and put behind/under back
Lie flat on your back with your glutes against the wall and your feet up on the wall, legs straight. If your hamstrings find this stretch too intense, it's ok to pull your glutes away from the wall whatever distance feels right to you. Hang out there a while, until your hamstrings relax, which will feel stretched by this position. Bonus points if you put either a heated towel or a heating pad under your back while you do this. Bonus points if you do this in a sauna, bathtub, or steam room.
Lie on your back and hug your knees to your chest. Bonus points if you do this with heat on it as described above.

Re: Back sprain
Thanks, to both of you guys! I have been doing the bath thing and some ibuprofen. It seems to get better, then worse. I am trying to be active and stretching. Oddly, Shira, I do that same exercise/stretch all the time (good for posture). I'll have to try it for this.
I sprained my right ankle twice and now my back. I have to remember that I am not seventeen anymore! sigh

Re: Back sprain
Almost a year ago I tried lifting a 300 lb solid iron magnet by myself (same problem... everyone in my family is pigheaded and I was trying to prove something to my advisor... very very stupid!). I ended up tearing my left psoas muscle and muscles in my hip which gave me sciatic and femoral nerve pain for several months (worst burning pain ever, left leg wouldn't function completely, it was bad)... luckily none of it was permanent! I was fairly fit at the time too, so don't feel bad. Our backs just aren't made for lifting at odd angles like that or lifting things that are so terribly heavy.
Long story short, make sure that even when you're in pain to keep your back and legs stretched and relaxed. Do gentle stretches against the wall that Shira was talking about. Also, it really feels good to lay on a hard floor on your back and pull your knees into your chest for a few minutes. When you sleep, sleep on your side with your legs pulled in. Sleeping on your back is the worst for it and gives you swayback. Take anti-inflammatories. If it's really really bad for more than a week, go to the doctor. At the very least, he/she can give you prednisone for a week. It's a powerful steroid anti-inflammatory that will help your muscles heal and decrease the pain significantly if you're having nerve pain. Alternating ice and heat helped sometimes, but mostly ice felt best. It also helps to change positions often during the day. Don't sit for too long, take standing breaks, when standing take sitting breaks or squat on the ground on occasion (really good for the back), and watch your posture as much as possible.
I hope you're pain goes away and that you recover much quicker than I did!

Re: Back sprain
Girl, I'm right there with you. Did mine backbending. Hurts SO bad.
For me it's relative rest (not bedrest, but reduced activity), ice (can't use heat because I have a herniated disk w/inflammation), and NSAIDs. Ibuprofen is the most helpful in my case, massively better than Tylenol. Apparently the pain of a herniated disc actually comes from the fluid inside the disc leaking out and irritating the nerve. The swollen nerve is really the problem hence no heat and NSAIDs to take down teh swelling.
You may have a different kind of injury, though.

Re: Back sprain
Another idea....
If you are going to be doing something sedentary anyway, such as reading a textbook for your classes or watching television, lie flat on your back on the floor and place your feet up on a chair or couch. I used to do this when recovering from the car accident injury that pulled a muscle in my back. I would put my glutes reasonably near the chair / couch, so that my knees and hip joints would be bent at right angles. You can experiment with the angles until you find the right combination that works for your personal situation.
My angry back used to LOVE this position. I did all my studying for school lying on my back on the floor like this.
At night, when I went to bed, I usually would sleep on my back with a pillow under my knees - that would take some pressure off the lower back. (Ie, my knees would be bent but my feet would rest on the bed, my feet themselves weren't elevated.) Lying on your back with straight legs can put pressure on your lower back. Again, it depends on the specifics of your particular injury, but you can experiment with different thicknesses of pillows under your knees to see if you can find a knee angle that seems right for you.
When sleeping on my side, I would do two things to ease my angry back. One was to put a pillow between my knees. The other was to place a pillow or bolster behind my back to give my back a little support while lying on my side.

Re: Back sprain
I second Lauren's ice advice: I slipped in the bathroom 6 months ago (nude of course, sheesh!) and landed sidesaddle on my kiester. An hour later my back was spasming and I had no idea what was happening as it was an entirely new experience. Over the next week I tried sitting in the hot tub and heated towels to no avail, so I called my doc and his nurse suggested ice. Magical stuff, ice. I'm not saying it will be the cure-all for you, it just helped me when heat didn't so we do have options for home treatment. Doing BIIIIG hip circles and Mayas were also the only things that helped as it was a lower back injury, and I was very careful to watch my posture and did them very slowly. Ibuprofen/Naproxin Sodium are helpful too.
Don't let it go too long though, go to the doc if you feel 'something ain't right.' Good luck honey, and Happy New Year.

Re: Back sprain
Its so sorry to get the idea to go for doctors and get medications about it.. & using pain killer is actually bad idea as well instead of home remedy.. Use precautions.. Good wishes for you.

PENSACOLA - A Florida Panhandle county says one person has died after becoming infected with West Nile virus.
Dr. John Lanza of the Escambia County Health Department tells the Pensacola News Journal that the patient was a county resident.
There have been 10 cases of West Nile in Escambia this year.
Neighboring Santa Rosa County on Tuesday confirmed its second case of West Nile.
Health officials are warning residents to reduce their exposure to mosquitos, which can infect humans with the virus.

Asia shares pare gains after China manufacturing slows for fifth straight month
Published on Mar 24, 2014 10:55 AM
TOKYO (Reuters) - Asian shares gave up earlier gains on Monday after the China HSBC flash manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI) fell to an eight-month low in March.
The preliminary reading of 48.1 fell from February's final reading of 48.5. The "flash" March index also showed new orders slid for a fourth consecutive month to 46.9 - its lowest point since July 2013 - while output fell to 47.3, the lowest since September 2012.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 0.2 per cent after the China data's release after gaining as much as 0.5 per cent.
Japan's Nikkei share average bucked the trend and gained 1.3 per cent.

Re: I hope I did the right thing!Posted by: Leslie Hemsing
Posted on: February 24, 2002 at 19:43:50
In Reply to: I hope I did the right thing!
: Our family has been looking for a dog since last August. We finally decided on the JRT or the Westie. We just happened to find a JRT first. We had gone to AKC shows and talked with breeders. She came to us at six weeks (before I knew that was a bad thing). She has been great with my three sons (ages 11, 10 & 8). Recently though, she has taken to biting. She's a smart dog and knows biting is bad, as she doesn't do it to me. I have popped her little nose and told her firmly NO bite! I've taught her to sit, actually she taught herself. She always goes potty outside and has from the start, with only an exception or two. I learned this morning watching Animal Planet that I should not pop her nose as it will only make her more aggressive. So instead she gets a time out in a dog proofed closet, it's just empty. Any time she nips or starts growling she goes in time out for three minutes. She does not like it at all so I'm hoping it works. I've got her signed up for basic obedience next month after her last round of puppy shots.
: I suppose I'm just looking for some guidance so I know I'm going about this the right way. We love our little Casey as she has brought us so much joy. I know there are JRT's out there who live happily with a family which includes children!
: Any advice and encouragement would be appreciated.
Time outs are a great way to teach youngsters that biting is an unacceptable behavior. The key is to be both consistent (every time she nips/growls) and quick to act (immediately following the behavior) so she makes the connection. In addition, I suggest you talk to your sons about why Casey is biting/nipping so that they will not get themselves (and her) into situations where she reacts badly. The search engine will help you find multiple posts regarding puppy behavior for those taken too early from their mother and siblings.
If your family is not able to attend Casey's puppy training classes then they should participate in the "homework" sessions. Training is one of the most effective ways to establish pack order so every family member (especially your sons) should be involved. Between the time outs and the training, your "kids" will learn to get along.
Keep up the good work, Erin; I assure you that your efforts will be worth it.
Warm regards,

Search for characteristic structural features of mammalian mitochondrial tRNAs
A number of mitochondrial (mt) tRNAs have strong structural deviations from the classical tRNA cloverleaf secondary structure and from the conventional L-shaped tertiary structure. As a consequence, there is a general trend to consider all mitochondrial tRNAs as "bizarre" tRNAs. Here, a large sequence comparison of the 22 tRNA genes within 31 fully sequenced mammalian mt genomes has been performed to define the structural characteristics of this specific group of tRNAs. Vertical alignments define the degree of conservation/variability of primary sequences and secondary structures and search for potential tertiary interactions within each of the 22 families. Further horizontal alignments ascertain that, with the exception of serine-specific tRNAs, mammalian mt tRNAs do fold into cloverleaf structures with mostly classical features. However, deviations exist and concern large variations in size of the D- and T-loops. The predominant absence of the conserved nucleotides G18G19 and T54T55C56, respectively in these loops, suggests that classical tertiary interactions between both domains do not take place. Classification of the tRNA sequences according to their genomic origin (G-rich or G-poor DNA strand) highlight specific features such as richness/poorness in mismatches or G-T pairs in stems and extremely low G-content or C-content in the D- and T-loops. The resulting 22 "typical" mammalian mitochondrial sequences built up a phylogenetic basis for experimental structural and functional investigations. Moreover, they are expected to help in the evaluation of the possible impacts of those point mutations detected in human mitochondrial tRNA genes and correlated with pathologies.(Received May 25 2000)

Comments about Nashbar N-10 10-Speed Dual Control Shifters:
This is my second set of microshift brifters. I bought the 9 speed originally to replace some dead ultegra brifters when shimano stuff was ridiculously expensive. I used those for two years in all seasons in the Pacific Northwest with no trouble. When my wife wanted to get into road biking I moved the 9 speed over to her frame and I upgraded to the 10 speed to get a lower granny gear on my fondo bike. I've been running these ones 6 or 7 months and they've performed as expected. Yes, they aren't as smooth as a Shimano brifter, but you also don't have to worry about shifting while under hard braking since the brake lever doesn't do double duty as a shift lever as with Shimano's design. They are noisy as well and there is a bit more effort required to shift than with the ultegra's that came on my bike. Since brifters are basically disposable - unless you get Campy - I figure this is a pretty good way to go. Particularly if you are on a budget.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Better Than Expected!
By Miker The Biker
from Ann Arbor, MI
See all my reviews
I had done my homework and these seem to get a bad rap in road bike blogs from people that have never owned a pair. Well, I got these mounted and they are just right for me. The internals seem fine and I haven't noticed any defects or flaws to date (After 500 miles). The Microshift systems work a little differently than the big 3. There is a large paddle and a much smaller paddle for shifting, which I really love. The actual brake lever does not move in the shifting process. Shifts are quick and as precise as I'd expect for this level of cost. Shifting is significantly louder than other systems I've used, so if you're into stealthy ninja shifting these aren't for you.

Re: Medical: 6 week old with fleas. Help!Posted by: Marie Evans

In Reply to: Medical: 6 week old with fleas. Help!
: My JRT Kenny s only 6.5 weeks old but he has fleas. What should I give my baby? He has not had his shots yet as the pet shop where I purchased him gave him one shot recently so he can't have another for a few weeks.
Besides the fact that the pet store has sold a puppy that is too young and in some states it's illegal to sell a puppy less than 8 weeks old, you need to get this little guy to see a vet ASAP.
Seeing that he has fleas makes me think that he really needs to be checked out by a vet to make sure he's healthy and wormed. Do not try to remedy the fleas on your own many flea products can be harmful to very young pups! This pup is way too young and this should be addressed by a veterinian.

I'll spare you the details, but she is acting like she's OK with it now, but now she's got me thinking it's too much money.
Here's what I shopped around for:
Kubota L3240 HST
R4 tires
Loaded rear tires
LA724 Loader with HD Quick attach bucket
3rd function valve for loader
66" root rake grapple
84" hydraulic angle Quick attach snow plow
72" Box scraper
60" Brush Hog
Fiberglass Canopy w/ work lights
Local dealer quoted $38,482, and that included a USED snow plow
Dealer 45 minutes away quoted $35,851
Dealer an hour away asked, "Do you mind last year's model that's been sitting here for a year? Never used, Never demoed, and the NEXT model up in HP?" I said no, and he quoted $34,700 for the whole deal (L3540 for what it's worth)
Kubota has 0% financing.
Talk to me. I've got 16 acres to clean up- tons of brush, logs, stumps to move and dispose of. A couple acres of brushy stuff that I'd like to mow and turn it into more of a field. 300 foot hardpack driveway to plow and maintain. Thoughts?
Taking a break from servicing my Kubota, grabbing some lunch.
Implements get expensive and I am guessing the root rake grapple is pretty pricey. If you need one, you need one.
The front blade does seem a bit big for that tractor but if it can handle it you will move some snow. Are you going with loaded tires, counter weight, chains, etc? My tires are not loaded but I run a real good set of chains on the rear. I don't use my bucket for snow, I use a 48 inch blower, front mount, which I find faster and no snow banks. With a gravel driveway you can set a blower up properly. I wouldn't get a rear mount, hell on the neck. With your heavy equipment back ground the balde and bucket will probably work great.
If had to do it again I'd get a Curtis Cab for the winter, particuarly with a blower.
Have you thought about shopping for used? You can get some good tractors with low hours reasonably priced. Granted, the financing (if you are) would be different and you will probably not buy one with all of the attachments that you are looking for. I bought mine used with less than 100 hours on it.
You could also go new and get the attachments that you need right off and keep your eyes open for good used pcs. and save some money.
Just my .02.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Noelle McElhatton, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 03 July 2012 08:00AM
Meanwhile, reputation-saving efforts over at Barclays, engulfed in the ongoing interest rate rigging scandal, have taken a more drastic turn as the resignation of the bank's chief executive, Bob Diamond, was announced this morning. This was after chairman Marcus Agius chose to take one for the interest-rate-rigging-team and retire hurt.
But restoring the reputations of NatWest, RBS and Barclays demands a bigger play than cancelled corporate largesse, a forced resignation and early retirement.
Not even consumer inertia, a key plank in high street banking's business model, can be relied on anymore. The Guardian reports that the Co-operative Bank is seeing a 25% increase in online applications, week on week, that Nationwide has had a flurry of enquiries from customers keen to leave their current banks.
Ironically, NatWest's call handler passed Marketing's 'Mole' test with flying colours (see this week's issue). How disillusioned and let-down must he and his colleagues feel?
Adding disgruntled staff to departing customers can only compound this summer of discontent for British banking's unravelling brand.
Remember the Shareholder Spring? The spectre of that revolt, and news that Prime Minister David Cameron has announced a parliamentary review of the banking sector, suggests this consumer backlash is far from over.

Rex Ryan would have been better off with No. 12 tattoo
As Gary Myers of the New York Daily News reports, maybe there was a reason why Rex Ryan didn't play Tim Tebow this season "aside from Tebow's inability to throw a forward pass.
"Ryan's loyalty to Mark Sanchez may not be set in stone, but it is etched in ink."
Myers spotted Ryan at The Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, lounging by the pool reading a book.
Myers also spotted a tattoo Ryan bore on his right arm.
"Just below a shamrock surrounded by the names of his sons Payton and Seth and his wife Michelle, is a drawing of a blonde-haired lady bearing a striking resemblance to Michelle wearing Sanchez's No. 6 green jersey and nothing else."
Why anyone ever gets a tattoo in the first place is beyond Gallery — who made it through six years in the U.S. Navy without one — but for an NFL head coach to get one of a certain team knowing how long their runs usually last with one team, is a real puzzler.
Or does Ryan not know about the coaching carousel that spins every year about this time?
But the tattoo has other implications, as Myers points out: "Make all the jokes you want, but the issue now is how this plays out in the Jets locker room. How does Sanchez feel about his coach having a tattoo with his jersey being worn by the coach's wife, who is wearing nothing else, permanently drawn on his coach's arm?
"This classic work of art could affect Ryan's credibility with his players. Will they tease him about it? Will they be jealous of Sanchez? Will they think of Sanchez as the teacher's pet? Couldn't Ryan have expressed his everlasting love for the Jets with just a generic green jersey without a number?"
Trivia time
What was Bear Bryant's career record at Alabama against Notre Dame?
What could have been in BE
As Gallery favorite Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel points out, Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville, Ky., and represented the Louisville Cardinals at the ceremonial coin flip before Wednesday's Sugar Bowl game against the Florida Gators.
"Yes, the Cardinals had Ali on their side, and the Gators appropriately played like a bunch of rope-a-dopes. ...
"(It was) a game that was supposed to signify something entirely different — the beginning of a new era at UF.
"Unfortunately for them, they ran into Muhammad Ali's team.
"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
The 'Ville just put a Big East whuppin' on the big, bad SEC!"
Lofty ranking
If you haven't been paying attention, conference basketball play started this week for many leagues.
It starts next week in the Mountain West with five teams in the top 31 in RPI.
San Diego State is not one of those five teams. The Aztecs were No. 47 before Friday's games.
The conference itself is ranked No. 3, with only the Big Ten and the Big East ahead of it.

Thanks Shane Nokes, for some reason neither of those tricks worked for me, I just recovered my PC with to a back up from a couple of days ago using True Image and it's all back to normal, not sure what caused it.
Posted 13 September 2012 - 11:18
Just curious...what has changed in the last couple days as regards items installed? I'm wondering if a third-party tool might not have been the root cause.
Posted 13 September 2012 - 11:24
It was specifically related to IE10, all other jump lists were working normally, nothing else was broken and it happened after I installed a new version of RoboForm Pro, when installing I didn't realiaze Internet Explorer was open, the program asked me to close it to continue the installation, I did but then everything just froze and I ended up with a blue screen (first one I see in Windows 8) after that the problem with the jump list started.
Posted 15 September 2012 - 23:13
That might have been it. I hate to ask, but do you mind trying to repro really quick (when you have time, and have made a fresh backup so you don't lose anything) to see if it happens again if you do that exact same thing? If so it might be something to point out the RoboForm & Windows folks. That way they can investigate if it's something RoboForm specific or if it's something that MS can work on to help avoid this issue.
Posted 17 September 2012 - 11:06
I'm also noticing the jump list disappearing and I don't recall Office 2013 installing any updates. I have the MSI-based version of Office 2013, not the streaming Office 365. Checked my recently installed updates for Windows and the last one was KB2751352.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 02:08
Hmmmm for me the update to Office 2013 was definately the cause, I had almost forgot about the update though, cause it was kind of silent, just a little Office windows pops up telling you there's an update, you accept and then that's it, it didn't even reboot the PC, are you sure you did not get these update?.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 22:20
I don't recall seeing that at all. If someone could point me to a log of installed Office 2013 updates that would be great.
Posted 19 September 2012 - 00:53
Ok, today I was offered the update that messes up the Jump Lists for me, here's a screenshot, of course I did not accept it, not sure if this will help, try and see if your version of Office is already on that build number, if it is, it means you already got the update at some point or are automatically accepting updates without notifying you.
