Golden Agressivity issue 4 months old
We took Snow at 2 months from a friend. It is our first dog and we chose this breed based on its reputation. It is not a dog with pedigree and we didn't knew much about his parents when we took him. Later on, we found out that his mother is having the same possessive and aggressive behaviour when bones are involved.
In the first days there were some problems with accomodation, he has not been eating about 2 days or was eating a little, which seemed to be kind of normal. He has received all the vaccines for his age (4 months now).
At the beginning he was biting and playing all the time. We tried some tricks ("OUCH") to make him release, which didn't work, and we have also tried some kind of Alpha role playing by keeping him from his neck but that seemed to make him even more angry. That happened at 3 months when the bites where not so easy to handle. In the following weeks he was tearing off some of the clothes we were wearing ). However he seemed to be happy to please us when learning some basic commands: sit, stay, lie, come when he was rewarded. As reward we use boiled beef meet.
One day I boiled some beef with bone, then gave him the bone to play/lick it and eat some meat over it. When I tried to take it from his mouth he became very aggressive and tried to bite me or whoever else tried (my wife, my sister). So we realised at that time that we really had a problem. Then was the first day out of the apartment, when he showed possesive aggression towards anything he takes in his mouth and he takes a lot .
Also he showed some aggression at the vet's, when he tried to bite the doctor when checking his ears to see if otitis has dissapeared.
So we decided to go to a really good dog trainer and behaviourist from Romania, probably one of the best in our country. In the first session he confirmed that Snow isn't really acting like a Golden and, joking, he said that it would be much easier to make him a defense dog. Here is a video from the asssessment meeting. Actually he was not so aggressive as I expected because he didn`t like so much that raw bone compared to the one I was giving him at home.
The first ground rules were to also leash him in the house, to have him carry kind of leash all over the place and stop saying anything to the dog by only correcting him using the leash. So now he is not allowed to do many things starting with getting up on the couch, sleeping with us in the bed, chewing the furniture, biting us etc. Actually he was extremely possesive on the couch. For example when giving him a toy down he was taking it on the couch and there it was impossible to take it back from his mouth. Down on the floor, the changes of not getting aggressive were smaller.
We had 4 sessions with the dog trainer so far and there are some signs of submission. The last session was a special submission one with leash conditioning. Snow was really not happy with it and started to tremble when he realised that he doesn't have control anymore on my wife. Moreover, today he was suprised when I applied the same leash control techniques and food limitation (with food as reward). Also in the 2nd session the trainer showed us that he doesn`t like it when people were touching him and we are working on that too. I understood the thing with food possesion, but this kind of things I don't get: he was sitting in the car and my wife as usual tried to touch him and he growled and tried to bite her. He is not allowed to get near people/dogs without the leash because we cannot trust him.
It is obvious we were doing some mistakes at the beginning leaving him to control us, based on the fact that "he's still a puppy". He is not a happy golden, doesn't like to play so far or run outside and probably that's because he is still trying to get the Alpha Power.
It should be enough as a presentation. I hope I didn't bored you so much. We start from here and let you know the outcome. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
I'm sorry you're facing issues with your puppy. Do you practice regular basic obedience with him? (Sit, down, stay etc.?) Do you go to a class or practice at home?
Could you explain a little more about what you mean by "special submission with Leash conditioning"? I am familiar with having the puppy drag a leash around the house so that he can easily be handled without grabbing his collar, but I don't understand why the trainer would say you shouldn't speak to the dog (tell him "off" when you are removing him from the couch for example).
I can tell you that you will receive concern here that by forcing your puppy to submit you will be making any fear issues he has much worse. Also, by giving him a meat bone or other food treat and then taking it from him, you are reinforcing his fear that you want to steal his food. Your puppy is still so young that you have a wonderful chance of overcoming the problems with gentle, positive methods. Many dogs are possessive of bones and food and teaching the dog to "trade" for a better, more valuable (to the dog) treat is a good way of working on this. The mother may have passed on some genetic component to his behavior, but that doesn't mean it's a lost cause.
I am sure you will receive more input here, it sounds like you have a big project ahead of you. Are you and your wife able to make sure your puppy gets daily exercise and playtime outside your apartment? I know in winter it can be a challenge, but it would help him feel better to be getting proper exercise.

I have watched your video, I don't see an 'aggressive dog', I see a pup that has learned through experience that you will 'steal' what he has. Your pup has great bite inhibition (he could have bitten but he didn't) - a good thing! His behavior is as 'normal' (inate) as one can expect when a pup has a high value item (a bone) that he doesn't want you to steal. Don't give him bones (or if you do - leave him alone with them- he deserves that much) start teaching him to trade for non-food items. When he has something, offer him a treat, when he drops the item, feed the treat and give him back the item. Repeat often and with as many non-food items as you can.
Please understand that 'alpha rolling' him will be percieved by him as an 'attack' and make him distrustful of you (as will 'stealing' things from him). He is not trying to 'run you' or 'take over' - he doesn't know what you want from him because he hasn't been taught (yet)- it takes time,repetition, consistency and patience. Your pup (any pup) needs training, - show/teach him what you want him to do, and reward him for doing it - he will repeat it when he understands what you want. Your pup (any pup) needs socializing - exposed to the 'real world' and creating positive associations with it. He barks and lunges at dogs and people because he is likely excited to see them - he's a pup. Teach him to sit to greet people. If you can, take him to classes or playtimes or get together with other people who have dog friendly dogs, where he can appropriately and safely socialize with other dogs - he needs to know how to do that.

Regarding the "special submission with Leash conditioning" I think I didn`t make it so clear what I wanted to say. The trainer had a little hard time with us at the beginning. In the video it is obvious that our tone was not a good one at that time and in order to keep the little Snow calm he advised that at the beginning it's ok for him to understand what we mean from our gestures. He also said that just a word "down" + leash slow drag will make him understand that he has to get down from the couch. That was true and 90% of times it works just fine. He is also trying less to get on the couch.
Yes he stays about 3 hours/day with me/my wife or my sister. I`ll explain in the next post which things give us some hard time outside

Socializing with people/dogs/kids is ongoing. With people it's getting better and what you suggested with Sit it's almost happening with down. However he is hackling up to some people (if that's not the word then this image should reflect the behaviour). I`m concerned about him having this behaviour with all dogs. So far he has only showed signs of aggression towards them even most of them just want to play or smell him. We first tought that these are signs of fear from his part, but the trainer said that it is definitely aggression because he is not only hackling up but he is also trying to dominate that dog.
Regarding the trade for dropping whatever he takes in his mouth, we are working on it for about 3 days and it really works. Unfortunately now it works only with food and I don't understand why he doesn't enjoy almost any toy. We have about 5 toys and he is getting bored of them in just few minutes.
Outside, unfortunately the situation is not pink as you would probably expect. Probably you don't know the actual conditions in Romanian parks, but I`ll explain them so you understand my exact concern. He loves a lot to take things in his mouth like soil, rocks, sticks, plastic bags, food wastes etc. So it is really dangerous because there are some small bones offered to stray dogs by "good people"; plastic bags also can be dangerous for him when swallowed. That's the issue that he is not just playing with things but he is also trying to eat them, so it's important to drop the dangerous things he "steals".
Also the "environment" has a lot of company dogs but also a lot of stray dogs which might come to you 4-5 at a time.
Today we decided to go into a park which is a little far from our apartment but where there is less garbage on the ground. The big surprise was when an adult rotweiller without a leash was trying to smell us. He reacted like usual with no fear and I have dragged him and hoped that the rotweiller can control itself. Fortunately we were lucky that the rotweiller was properly trained by his owner. The sad thing is that most of the dogs in Romania are not trained at all and you can have some hard time with dogs used for company, not to mention stray dogs.
At the training classes at one out of two sessions there is also another dog to play with. Unfortunately so far he has showed only aggression signs and we had to stop that instead of letting them play.
Tomorrow we will have a new session, I`ll get back with a feedback
Thanks for your good advice!

It sounds like you are making good progress. When you are trading him for something you must use food items to offer him that are more "valuable" than the item you want him to give up. Toys would generally not be valuable enough to get him to exchange.

Start playing (training) in low distraction areas such as your house/apartment. Start with low value food rewarding for higher value food. You can practice this with other items besides food such as the rocks/(garbage - such as food packages, plastic bags etc). Don't practice this with high value items such as that raw bone until your pup gives you good choices with the much lower value items.
Also work on the trade game. Your puppy needs to trust you that if he gives up an item he will be rewarded with something much better. It really takes a long time to build that trust up. Again do this at home often with low value items at home. When on a walk you can do the same for now.
What you don't want to do is let your pup practice what he was doing in the video. As you say the mom seems to have issues so this probably has a genetic component to it. This means you have to help the pup feel safe and trust you so that the pup doesn't feel the need to protect items from you. It means you have to have good habits yourself so you don't put the pup into the position to feel the need to be protective of items.

Daniel - incearca comenzi scurte - Lasa, Jos, Sta, culcat.. Pentru Snow osul este de valoare foarte mare. Ce mananca de obicei? Incearca sa ii dai de mancare din mana (pumn)ca sa vada ca tu esti cel care ii da de mancare. La momentul de fata Snow crede ca o sa iei inapoi mancarea (mai ales mancarea de valoare). Doar dupa ce se obisnuieste ca sa manance din mana ta incearca sa iei niste friptura. Tu mananci din friptura de pe os si ii dai cate o bucatica de carne. Pune-o in gura is scoate-o din gura si dai la Snow cu mana (nu o arunca - lasa sa ia mancarea din mana). De fiecare data cand ii dai mancare dai inainte o comanda scurta (jos, stai - ce folosesti tu de obicei - scuze ca Romana mea (mai ales scrisa) nu este asa de buna dupa 20 de ani). Cand ia mancarea incurajeaza-l cu bine. O sa ia timp - dupa ce are incredere in tine dai de mancare si apoin iao inapoi, dai din nou mancarea. Incepe cu o bucata de paine uscata, cand lasa painea dai o bucata de carne sau branza.
Unde esti? Din prima poza arata ca esti undeva in Nord - cel puting dupa casa. Daca mergi in parc tine-l mai departe - pe marginea parcului - foloseste timpul ca sa vezi de la departare ceilalti caini. Daca vezi un caine care se comporta frumos incearca sa vorbesti cu "parintii" si sa vezi daca nu puteti sa va intalniti altundeva unde nu sunt gunoaie si caini salbatici.
Din fericire, Snow este inca tanar si cu rabdare si persistenta o sa ai un caine frumos si bucuros.

@solinvictus: yes, we are doing something similar and we call it "resource limitation". Later on I`ll put a video with him "down" with bunch of treat in front of him and also 3 pieces near his month. He wait until I give the command free. In the apartment usually there is no issue doing that because he is in his environment and not distracted. Outside it is a little harder for him but he is doing perfect.
Also today at the training session he found 2 bones but not very attracted. I asked to leave it, he stopped leave the bone and get back to me to receive the reward
@ Claudia M, incantat sa dau de un roman pe acest forum . Este foarte pretentios la mancare. Initial am inceput cu royal canin dar nu a mai mancat dupa o saptamana. Apoi am incercat Acana, la care a renuntat la fel dupa o saptamana si jumatate. Acana parea sa-i faca si probleme la stomac facand moale. Acum mananca Bosh, dar dupa o saptamana parea sa se plictiseasca si de ele. Pentru a nu-i mai schimba mancarea am decis sa-l ajutam cu putina branza de vaci peste bobite si momentan pare sa-i placa. Nu stiu exact ce vom face cu mancarea dar cel mai probabil vom lua o reteta de la un veterinar pentru mancare gatita. Nu este dificil de preparat si prefer asta decat sa tot incercam boabe sa manance o saptamana apoi sa le lase. Ca strategie pentru a-l obisnui pe boabe am inteles ca ar fi infometarea pentru 1 chiar 2 zile, insa cred c-o accepta pentru ca primeste destul de des recompensa carne de vita fiarta sau la gratar, iar eu presupun ca poate "sa traiasca" doar cu recompensa cateva zile bune. Consider ca nu merita efortul. In plus daca nu mananca 1-2 zile ok, nu doar ca nu isi mentine ritmul de crestere, dar si slabeste aprox. 1 kg.
Am facut ce ai sugerat mai sus cu obiecte de genul: jucariile lui, servetel, punga plastic. Renunta f. usor la ele la comanda "lasa". Diferenta este ca eu ii aruncam recompensa jos pentru a-l indeparta de obiectul respectiv. Dupa toata atentia lui este catre mine si practic uita de respectivul obiectul. Am vazut un video pe care din pacate nu-l mai gasesc de nici o culoare si mi s-a parut foarte buna strategia. Dupa ce totul merge perfect cu recompensa obisnuita se poate trece la recompensa prin joc, dar asta mai tarziu cand va adora sa se joace.
Poza respectiva este de la bunici in Oltenia :P

FLOR Story : Crazy Colorful
Dear FLOR,
Even before we found out we were having a baby, we were looking forward to redecorating a room for a little one. So, once we knew we were having an actual baby, we started throwing around ideas. It should be colorful. Crazy colorful. Our home more generally is full of nutty colors but a kid's room seemed like a perfect opportunity to go all out on color.
While the website was fun to use, we wanted to see the tiles in person before we ordered something for the baby's room. We headed to the Flor store near us (in Chicago) and worked with Kim, who showed us all sorts of tiles. After working with us for awhile, helping us zero in on a palette of tiles we liked, and seeing that we were open to lots of ideas, Kim suggested taking the tiles we liked and laying them out in a striped pattern. She laid it out on her laptop (and even emailed us a .pdf of the design to use when we set up the tiles). We hadn't thought of stripes but immediately felt like it was a super cool way to capitalize on the modularity of Flor tiles.
We had a bunch of fun putting the tiles together and the Flor definitely fulfilled our desire for a unique and nutty carpet in our baby's room. We really love her room, hopefully she will too!

text: To convert or not to convert? 3D arms race heats up Technology 20 February 12 by Angela Watercutter Egon Endrenyi/Sony Pictures When prepping to film Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor put themselves through a hellacious fact-finding mission. The daredevil directors tried out nearly every 3D camera rig on the market, at one point becoming convinced they would need to build custom hardware, bolt by bolt, to capture the type of comic-book action they envisioned."We were under the impression," Taylor told Wired, "as many people are, that [shooting in 3D] was inherently superior to post-converting." But after their tests, they compared what they could do with 3D cameras to what could be accomplished with computers -- and the machines won."Now that the software guys are getting to the point where they can do incredible work with anything you shoot, then why wouldn't you just free up filmmakers to shoot the movie they want to?" said Taylor, whose PG-13 Ghost Rider sequel opens Friday. "The hardware guys and the software guys are sort of in a race -- it's like an arms race for 3D."These days, every director working on a 3D film must face the inevitable question of whether to shoot stereoscopically or convert in post-production. While conventional wisdom holds that filming in native 3D produces better results, ongoing technological advances are making directors give conversion serious consideration.Neveldine/Taylor remain unequivocal about which faction is winning the war. ("Whenever there's a race between hardware and software, software always wins," Taylor said.) But bringing directors around hasn't been easy. Conversion got a bad name after critics panned Clash of the Titans' hurried 3D upgrade, but with more successful conversions in films like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger, the stigma is subsiding.Converting to 3D saves time and headaches on set Proponents of post-conversion point out that turning everything 3D after the fact makes the filming process easier because directors don't need to worry about getting a shot perfect while on set -- or about wasting actors' valuable time while complicated 3D shots are set up. It's certainly something Neveldine and Taylor benefited from while working on the Ghost Rider sequel. The pair knew early on that they wanted a stereoscopic movie, but they also knew they couldn't film the way they do -- on rollerblades, off the side of cliffs -- with giant 3D rigs.To make sure their 3D was badass instead of half-assed, they got their conversion partner -- Canadian company Gener8, which has developed its own conversion software called Stereo Composer -- on board early. They used a bread-box-size device called a Civetta (Italian for "owl" -- the name comes from its shape) to take 3D images of each set so the conversion team would have all the parameters needed to make each shot have all the mathematically proper dimensions. That forethought helped the filmmakers easily incorporate the flaming-skull effects they got from VFX partner Iloura."In the case of fire and smoke, it's far superior to render it in native stereo [but] the way those boys film is not conducive to shooting native," Gener8 stereo producer Paul Becker said in an interview with Wired. "So to get a 3D film with the cool volume of fire and smoke and to shoot the way Neveldine and Taylor shoot, was to shoot in 2D, which everyone knows how to do, and then convert, which we know how to do -- well, I might add."Post-converting to 3D also gave the Ghost Rider directors more bang for their buck. Whereas films like The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and its sequel have a reported combined budget north of $500 million (£315 million) and Michael Bay's 3D Tranformers: Dark of the Moon had an estimated budget of $195 million (£123 million), Taylor said he would've been "happy to have" the $75 million (£47.2 million) budget it was reported Spirit of Vengeance received. (He declined to provide the film's actual price tag.)Making 3D rigs with a 2D feel Even as film-conversion companies hustle to improve their software, the makers of 3D camera rigs -- structures that hold the dual cameras necessary to capture a stereo image -- are devising ways to make their gear cheaper, smaller, lighter and more like regular camera set-ups. The goal is to make shooting native 3D as inexpensive and easy for directors as employing a room full of nerds at a conversion shop.At Cameron Pace Group -- the Burbank, California, company that produces the gear used for Hugo as well as 3D gold-standard film Avatar -- is working on camera rigs that will film in "5D" (3D and 2D simultaneously).Vince Pace, who started the venture with Avatar director James Cameron, told Wired he expects the 5D rig to be as affordable and as easy to use as 2D filming gear, potentially allowing directors like Neveldine and Taylor to shoot in any style they wish within tight time and budget constraints."At some point it won't require a rig to make good 3D images, and those are technologies that we're working on today and are actually very far along with."This type of smaller setup would solve several problems for directors, Pace said, and could be conducive to nearly any type of shooting environment while taking no longer than traditional 2D filming methods."You can't come in with a refrigerator and say it's the same thing as a microwave oven," he said. "There's also a time factor -- it can't cost production more time to do a shot."Other rig-makers are also cooking up solutions. For example, Burbank-based 3ality Technica, whose gear is currently being used by Peter Jackson to film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and was used by Ridley Scott for Prometheus, has been updating its products to meet directors' needs."They'd like no rigs at all, and ultimately that's the future," 3ality CEO Steve Schklair told Wired. "At some point it won't require a rig to make good 3D images, and those are technologies that we're working on today and are actually very far along with." Schklair won't elaborate on exactly what his company is working on, but he said any director currently shooting in 2D and hoping for magic during the conversion process won't get what he wants. The simple reason? When a movie is filmed in 2D, directors can't look at a 3-D monitor displaying the final product during shooting. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

TEMPLE HILLS, Md. (WUSA) - Prince George's County Police have arrested two D.C. women in connection with a Temple Hills stabbing.
On Thursday, February 8 at 1:45 a.m., police responded to a "cutting" call from the Hangar Club in the 6400 block of Old Branch Avenue. Upon arrival, police found two adult females in the parking lot. They were suffering from apparent stabbing wounds. Both women were taken to a local hospital and have since been released.
The two suspects were identified as 19 year-old Kailah Jameka Robinson of the 2300 block of Green Street in Southeast Washington and 22 year-old Ebony Deana Jackson of the 200 block of 57th Place in Northeast Washington.
The preliminary investigation indicates that the victims and suspects got into a fight inside the club before continuing the dispute in the parking lot. During the fight both the victims were stabbed and the suspects drove away, police say.
The victims gave the police officers a description of the suspects and their car, and soon thereafter, police stopped a car matching the description with the two suspects inside.
Robinson is charged with second degree assault and she has admitted to being involved in the assault, while Jackson is charged with attempted murder and first degree assault. Both women are in custody at the Department of Corrections.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Prince George's County Police Department's R.I.D. District V Investigative Unit at 301-868-8773.

LATHAM, NEW YORK -- I have worn glasses since I was a small child (several decades), and never had problems with any prescription. My current employer uses Davis Vision as part of their insurance package. On 8/1/13 I had an eye exam but was not happy with the choice of available frames so I ordered a pair of frames elsewhere, and then returned to my optician who sent the frames to Davis. I was told they would be available in two or three weeks.
A month later I went back asking about progress. The next day, the optician called to say that Davis had mailed the glasses to the wrong address, and they could not be traced. The optician agreed to reorder the frames from where I purchased them, and Davis was to make a new pair of lenses. Three weeks went by and the optician called day before yesterday to say that the glasses had arrived, and Davis had not made the lenses correctly. I did attempt to cancel the glasses yesterday, but was told that any refund would have to come from Davis, not the optician, and that it was probably "too late" for a refund because Davis had already charged my insurance company.
It is now 11/2/13, exactly three months since my exam, and I still do not have a pair of glasses. Meanwhile, I am out several hundreds of dollars for glasses that I have yet to see. The optician told me that they prefer not to use Davis, but have no choice if Davis is specified by the insurance provider. The optician said that Davis quality is consistently poor. For example, bifocals or graduated lenses arrive with the graduation on the top of the lenses. Lenses are frequently reversed with the right eye lens having the left eye prescription, and vice versa.
I will never use Davis Vision in the future. I would prefer to pay a bit extra out of pocket to have good quality eyeglasses delivered in a reasonable amount of time. I have complained to my employer and asked them to drop Davis as part of their insurance package. Why should I pay extra for insurance coverage that is worse than no insurance at all?
GURNEE, ILLINOIS -- Part of my "eye exam" was performed by the sales manager because the eye doctor's assistant was late. He skipped part of it, and I only found out because when she did finally arrive I saw her doing additional tests on a different customer.... I should have known better than to revisit, but my husband has been happy with them and I had renewed the insurance. Last year the prescription was horribly wrong and after complaining multiple times I finally tossed them in the drawer. The doctors are OK, but this is not a place that cares about your eyes. It is run by sales people and they do not care about your eye health.
My company is famous for changing insurance companies and two years ago we had Davis Vision. Last year, we had a different provider and this year, back to Davis. My son broke his glasses and went to get a new pair. New policy, should be no problem. Wait, Davis decides to use the 24 month benefit on the lapsed policy from two years ago. Now, if I tried to get them to cover lens and eye exam last year, they would deny but they are allowed to go back to a lapsed policy? My company's insurance broker spoke to them and got fed a line about how there should be a benefit it is due to benefits being listed on social security numbers and not policy numbers.... What?
Well needless to say, even though Davis made the statement, when trying to access the benefit for frames, it is still denied at the provider level. A month later and no resolution. Waiting to January to get a second pair and paid out of pocket for this pair. Ridiculous!
LATHAM, NEW YORK -- Ordered glasses a month ago... Told it would be a 10 day wait. Optician called to tell me that they sent the wrong lenses and it would be another 10 days. Then all went silent. Spoke to my optician this week who told me I would definitely eventually get my glasses. Got a call back from my optician who told me Davis broke the frames and new ones would need to be sent (10+ days). My wife called Davis and asked them to FedEx the lenses while the optician looked for the glasses. They agreed to reduce the cost and FedEx the lenses.
The lenses never showed up. When I called today they said they would make them next Tuesday. After speaking to a rep, a supervisor, and requesting a manager I was told next Tuesday would be the best they could do and they would not overnight them. When the manager calls me back I will cancel the order and will ask my company to cut Davis as an insurance provider. This has been a ridiculous experience!
GARDEN CITY, NEW YORK -- As a government employee, my choices regarding eyeglass frames are limited if I intend to use my benefits. If I want a decent frame, I usually have to purchase them on my own and get the lenses at Davis Vision where I can use my benefits. I ordered two pairs of lenses for my sons at the same time, while I purchased their Ray-ban frames elsewhere. I called Davis to see if the glasses were ready. I was told that they were. When I get there, they can only find one pair and they are unable to give me a cogent explanation as to where the other pair is. My son needs to see. If I went to Costco, I could have gotten the glasses back and it would have cheaper WITHOUT MY BENEFITS.
After expressing concern about what was now being reported as a prolonged process, and demanding the return of my money and frames, the manager offered to give my sons lenses without the bells and whistles and when the other pair of lenses arrived, they would switch them back! Not totally resolved but I'll accept it.
LATHAM, NY -- Went to OD Doctor for eye exam at Costco. Submitted OUT OF NETWORK claim for with the examiner's signature for eye exam and Costco's figure for frames and lenses filled in and signed by both OD, Dr and the glasses vendor. Included a copy of my prescription which also included charge for eye exam and a procedure code of ** (not noted on claim form). Got a rejection of exam charges due to unapproved procedure code refraction **. Always something with these people and we pay for coverage under COBRA since GM canceled retiree eye care and dental many years ago.
I do not go to their providers because they make so many mistakes and have poor quality frames and lenses. Called to question the rejection but the CS representative had no access to my paperwork so will request it be reopened. Now I wait again with no confidence of reimbursement.
Filed a claim on October 16, 2014. Talked to more than a dozen people at Davis Vision (who pride themselves by saying "where all calls are PROUDLY administered in the USA") and each one promised to process the claim every time including countless supervisors. The so-called supervisors also promised to call me back to give me updates but no one ever called. Today is the 27th of December and still waiting. Please take note that the claim is only $60.00. Can't wait to move to another provider next year.
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS -- I enrolled for vision insurance through them, in the benefits document they had mentioned Costco is one of the providers. When I bought glasses from Costco they informed that particular Costco is not covered, so they denied my claim. I was paying around $40 month as premium. I canceled their service, I used the premium money to buy 2 pairs of glasses from Costco next time. Looks like these guys are good in taking our money and when it comes to giving it back they find all kinds of excuses.
ROCKY POINT, NEW YORK -- Davis Vision - Rocky Point, NY. Horrible customer service. Had 7PM appt. with specific Dr. that I have used in the past. After waiting for 40 minutes - and not complaining, I was quickly taken to just any open optometrist - no apologies, no explanation. I received a very rushed examination and was told that a tech. would help me pick out frames. I had been there the previous evening and picked out two - after 30 minutes - and the desk clerk wrote them down. (She didn't capture those frames or put them aside - first clue to the incompetence.)
After another 10 minutes ** said she'd help me pick out frames and was shocked that I already had. Nice reading of my file, ** - perhaps some GLASSES might help? After help her find the model # and brand, she preceded to look up and down the not so large display of men's frames, looking at EVERY brand other than what I described to her and was written down on the notes from the previous evening.
After 15 minutes, I said, "I am frustrated and don't have time to continue this hunt for your inventory, I'll come back tomorrow. Please print my prescription out and I'll return for fitting etc. tomorrow when you've hopefully located the frames I want." (My prescription is an expensive one and I always buy multiples - my bill is always around $1,000.) ** continued looking at EACH and every from as if she hadn't heard my request to allow me to leave.... And when I asked her to please print out my prescription she said she didn't understand how I could just "turn" on her... WOW!
I explained my previous poor service that same evening and she replied, "..how would I know that. If you had told me I could have fixed things for you..." Ahhhh yeah.. if you had a time machine, ** dear. I proceeded to get total NEW YORK attitude as she informed me she had worked for the best - Walmart, KMart, etc... I am not kidding! I literally couldn't get a word in edgewise. It took this incompetent soul 10 more minutes to look through her inferior Davis glasses and peck out my information to print my prescription.
On three occasions in the last year... my wife and daughter have experienced this caustic attitude from the Rocky Point Location (only the women working there - I am sad to say). So the moral: If your company offers Davis Vision Coverage, say NO THANK YOU. And Davis, shame on you for running such a great example of poor customer service combined with incredibly mediocre product quality.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This is one of the best lotions I have ever used. The smell is amazing, it smells so fruity and sweet you just want to eat it! It doesnt leave any greasy film on the hands, it soaks in and your hands will smell wonderful.
This product does give the same benefit as pure coconut oil, but is easier to use as it is always liquid. Pure cocnut is great, but it gets pretty hard sometimes and is not that easy to apply. Skin problems that go away with coconut oil also go away with this product. I have tried many others and the genuine cocnut base is the only thing that heals them completey.

Good hand cream, but I don't like the long lasting sweet smell of papaya. It is so sweet. There is no vanilla and coconut smell. But ..... if we assess the quatlity of product - I can say that it is good quality and good product for dry skin.

INDIANAPOLIS — After one of the most immature moments of the season, the Indiana Pacers grew up.
They're fresh and skilled, anchored by a couple 23-year-olds with talent pouring out of their bodies. But sometimes, the Pacers can be a young and reckless bunch. It can rear up on the court with an offense that devolves into hero ball but on Wednesday, it manifested when one of the young stars, Lance Stephenson, lost himself and got ejected from the game late in the fourth quarter.
Yet, the other Pacers stuck around and acted like adults in the thrilling 84-83 win over the Miami Heat. The Pacers now lead the Heat by three games for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
BOX SCORE: Pacers 84, Heat 83
SHOVE: Wade pushes Stephenson
Evan Turner replaced Stephenson in the lineup and made two strong plays down the stretch that pulled the Pacers back from a four-point deficit.
"When I got back in, coach (Frank Vogel) said, 'Welcome to the rivalry,' " said Turner, the young player who replaced one of the veteran locker room voices, Danny Granger. "He was really positive and I took it from there."
Then, elder Pacer David West made the intelligent play to put an attempt on goal as the shot clock and possession rolled down. And surprise — with just 50 seconds left, he hit a three-pointer that remained the difference in the game.
They've depended on the exploits of Stephenson and Paul George, the two 23-year-olds. But since the departure of Granger at the trade deadline, the Pacers have been even younger. Often, championship contenders snatch up more veterans, not the other way. But the Pacers hope to defy that logic. On nights like Wednesday, they showed they can get away with it long enough.
"That was a heck of a basketball game," coach Frank Vogel said. "Very, very proud of our effort to battle back a few different times when it seemed like Miami was taking control of the game."
WHOA: George throws down dunk ... right on LeBron
'KUNG-FU MASTER': LeBron's joke about flagrant foul
One of those pivotal moments happened with 5:01 remaining in the game. Stephenson made a bucket, then turned to Dwyane Wade to flex his muscles.
"What!?" Stephenson yelled, while staring down his rival.
Wade laughed at the childish display, but no one was smiling on the Pacers' sideline when official David Jones hit Stephenson for taunting and tossed him from the game with his second technical.
Stephenson played hard all night. He knocked down big three-pointers during the second quarter and settled the bench unit when the Pacers needed his offense. But he also stayed on the edge, wild and wound up. The ESPN announcing crew described his behavior as a "good kind of crazy." The referees saw it as punishable.
Stephenson, already tagged with a double technical foul after engaging with Wade in the third quarter, should have known better. But the emotions took precedence when his team needed him.
"Lance can't get kicked out of a game," Vogel said. "He's too important to us. He just can't do that, period."
HIGHLIGHTS: Pacers stave off LeBron, Heat
The Pacers were angry. They protested, but more importantly, they regrouped.
"Evan Turner did a great job in stepping in for Lance when he was ejected," Vogel said.
Turner scored on a fastbreak, then hit a spinning shot in the lane that gave the Pacers the 81-80 lead.
"I saw a little bit of a lane open up. He went one way to get him off balance," Turner said. "He went for it and I went the other way. We got tangled up a little bit and I was glad they didn't call an offensive foul. I think Paul and Dave were on the other side and it drew some defensive attention. It led to a layup."
The win clinches the Central Division for the Pacers (52-20) and also gives them a confidence-building victory near the end of this grind of a regular season.
Achieving home court doesn't seem that far away now for a team that's maturing at the right time.

AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- A single-vehicle crash in Aiken County has killed one teen and critically injured another.
It happened at about 1:30 a.m. on Piper Road, killing the driver, 18-year-old Justin G. Cantwell, and critically injuring 17-year-old Dustin Day.
The pair were traveling north on the 2000 block when Cantwell lost control of the vehicle, went into a ditch and struck a utility pole, causing the vehicle to overturn and eject them both.
Cantwell and Day were taken to the Georgia Regents University Medical Center. Cantwell was pronounced dead Saturday morning from multiple body trauma. Day remains in critical condition.
Authorities say neither were wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and that alcohol is considered a contributing factor. A toxicology report is pending.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol is now investigating the crash.

WASHINGTON — Obama administration officials Wednesday faced deepening political skepticism over a counterterrorism program that collects millions of Americans' phone records, even as they released newly declassified documents in an attempt to spotlight privacy safeguards.
The previously secret material — a court order and reports to Congress — was released by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper as a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing opened Wednesday morning in which lawmakers questioned the efficacy of the collection of bulk phone records. A senior National Security Agency official conceded that the surveillance effort was the primary tool in thwarting only one plot — not the dozens that officials had previously suggested.
In recent weeks, political support for such broad collection has sagged, and the House last week narrowly defeated a bid to end the program, at least in its current form. On Wednesday, senior Democratic senators voiced equally strong doubts.
"This bulk-collection program has massive privacy implications," said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy of Vermont. "The phone records of all of us in this room — all of us in this room — reside in an NSA database. I've said repeatedly, just because we have the ability to collect huge amounts of data does not mean that we should be doing so."
Administration officials defended the collection effort and a separate program targeting foreigners' communication as essential and operating under stringent guidelines.
"With these programs and other intelligence activities, we are constantly seeking to achieve the right balance between the protection of national security and the protection of privacy and civil liberties," said Deputy Attorney General James Cole. "We believe these two programs have achieved the right balance."
Cole said the administration is open to amending the program to achieve greater public trust.
The NSA's phone records collection program began after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and was brought under the supervision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in 2006. But its existence remained hidden until June, when the Guardian newspaper in Britain published a classified FISC order to a U.S. phone company to turn over to the NSA all call records. Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked the order to the newspaper.
On Wednesday, the Guardian published new documents provided by Snowden that outlined previously unknown features of an NSA data retrieval system called XKeyscore. The newspaper reported that the search tool allowed analysts to "search with no prior authorization through vast databases containing e-mails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals."
NSA slides describing the system published with the Guardian article indicated that analysts used it to sift through government databases, including Pinwale, the NSA's primary storage system for e-mail and other text, and Marina, the primary storage and analysis tool for "metadata." Another slide described analysts using XKeyscore to access a database containing phone numbers, e-mail addresses, log-ins and Internet user activity generated from other NSA programs.
The newspaper said the disclosures shed light on Snowden's claim that the NSA's surveillance programs allowed him while sitting at his desk to "wiretap anyone." In a statement responding to the Guardian report, the NSA said "the implication that NSA's collection is arbitrary and unconstrained is false."
On Wednesday, Clapper disclosed the FISA court's "primary" order that spells out the program's collection rules and two reports to Congress that discussed the program, which is authorized under Section 215 of the "business records" provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
The primary order states that only "appropriately trained and authorized personnel" may have access to the records, which consist of phone numbers of calls made and received, their time and duration, but not names and content.
But the documents fueled more concern among civil liberties advocates. Most alarming to some critics was the disclosure, in the order, that queries of the metadata return results that are placed into a "corporate store" that may be searched for foreign intelligence purposes with fewer restrictions.

Springhill traffic problems a reality
To the editor:
On June 24 I attended a hearing by the Oldham County Planning and Zoning Commission for the proposed Brentwood development consisting of 345 homes. I cannot understand the utter disregard Oldham Farms has for the safety of the residents of Springhill. To subject these residents to nine years of construction traffic, as well as more than 3,000 trips per day on Springhill Trace is ludicrous.

Sustainability Studies Major
The major in sustainability studies at Albion College is a joint venture between Albion College and the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (UVSQ), in France. UVSQ is located less than a half hour from Paris and is among the top research universities in the world. This collaboration offers an opportunity for Albion students to participate in an international, interdisciplinary program that is grounded in the social sciences and designed for students who are engaged in today's and tomorrow's sustainability challenges.
Course Work
Courses in the curriculum are categorized as theories, tools, and terrains. Theories include the framing concepts and scientific principles of sustainability studies, while tools are the methods of analysis and communication. Terrains are specific fields of sustainability challenges, using the theories and tools that students will have already mastered.
Through this integration students are invited to explore, on the one hand, the relationships between the economy, lifestyle, and politics and, on the other hand, the physical environment, natural resource use, pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss. In this way, the interdisciplinary and international character of the major in sustainability studies complements the disciplinary foundations of traditional degree programs.
Study Sustainability Abroad
The major in sustainability studies is obtained by following a four-year program of study offered on a collaborative basis through the UVSQ/Albion partnership. During the first, second, and fourth years of study, courses are offered through UVSQ and Albion College, on the Albion campus, while the third year includes a semester of study abroad at UVSQ.
During the semester abroad, students in the program will complete upper-level courses in both theory and tools categories, as well as preparing research papers in selected terrains (case studies and specialized topics). They will be introduced to European culture and the European ethos of sustainability, and visiting international collaborations.
After successfully completing the major in sustainability studies, and upon graduation from Albion College, students will receive the B.A. in sustainability studies from Albion College along with a certificate of sustainability studies from UVSQ. They will also be eligible to enter the second year master's program at UVSQ (taught in English) in sustainability studies.

UltraHD and HEVC Video Decoding Set-Top Box Chips from STMicroelectronics Immerse Viewers in the ActionST's new System-on-Chip families target client-box applications including IP set-top boxes, servers and gateways
The STiH312 device will allow next-generation set-top boxes to stream HEVC high-definition content over lower-speed broadband connections, including content with 2160p resolution (known as UltraHD, or UHD), that significantly augments the viewing experience for end users with more realistic and in-the-action immersion. Moreover, combined with the HEVC standard, UHD increases the number of households accessing very high-quality content while reducing delivery costs for service providers.The STiH305 and STiH310 support a wide range of video standards (including H.264 and/or HEVC) and enable a new generation of cost-optimized set-top boxes that allow operators to deliver services with reduced bandwidth utilization, including best-in-class solution for HEVC HD content.
The 'Monaco' family provides an economical yet full-featured solution for server-type applications such as home gateways. ST Faroudja® Transcode Engine provides best-in-class transcoding capabilities for multi-screen experiences across consumer and handheld devices. This allows operators to reduce their network bandwidth while offering an excellent quality of service throughout the home. The 'Monaco' family includes the 'UltraHD' STiH412 and cost-optimized derivatives (STiH407 and STiH410) for HD markets.Both families offer advantages for set-top box producers by presenting a complete range of devices from cost-optimized chips to full-featured devices supporting HD or UltraHD that build on the foundation of the popular STiH315 and STiH416 ('Orly') SoCs. The new devices combine wide market coverage with a single industry-proven Software Development Kit (SDK2), and support for stacks such as RDK (Reference Design Kit), Google TV, HTML 5 and established middleware.
"Our new set-top box SoC families aim to accelerate the mass deployment of UltraHD and HEVC technologies that represent a major change in viewing experience and network performance," said Gian Luca Bertino, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Digital Convergence Group, STMicroelectronics. "ST is well positioned to satisfy the surge in demand expected to coincide with major international sporting events, including the 2014 soccer World Cup. "The STiH312, STiH310, STiH305, STiH412, STiH410 and STiH407 devices share a single ball-out to facilitate the board design for multiple markets. All devices will be sampling to lead customers in Q4 2013.

Original "Mickey Mouse Club" Mousketeer ANNETTE FUNICELLO died yesterday after a long battle with multiple sclerosis. She was 70 yearsold.
She had been in a coma, and her family made the decision to takeher off life support yesterday.
Annette was also known for the "Beach Party" movies she did with FRANKIEAVALON in the 1960s, and her Skippy peanut butter ads in the'70s.
When thepaparazzi asked BRITNEY SPEARS how she felt about ANNETTEFUNICELLO'S deathshe said, quote, "I think that's great." But she didn't reallyhear the question. She was just blowing them off.
She laterTweeted, quote, "Misheard a question I was asked earlier by press while Iwas out and about. I am DEVASTATED to hear about the passing of AnnetteFunicello."
Blake Shelton is Officiating at KellyClarkson's Wedding . . . and Ronnie Dunn Is Singing on Kelly's Christmas Album
Last year BLAKE SHELTON told his manager Brandon Blackstock to get hishead out of his backside and propose to KELLY CLARKSON.
And then he sweetenedthe deal by promising to sing at their wedding. Brandon accepted the dealand proposed to Kelly soon after.
Well, Kelly told "ET" that not only is Blake singing at the ceremony .. . but he's also going to officiate the wedding. Unfortunately, theystill haven't set a date.
We all know that RAY J's new song "IHit It First" isabout KIM KARDASHIAN. The lyrics makethat crystal clear. But in a new interview, he sounds like he's trying toconvince us that it's NOT about her.
He said, "It's a song, it's not about that, it's about aconcept. People going way too deep. They just gotta keep it on thesurface. I'm not trying to create no war, it's all love; we'redoing music."
He also Tweeted, quote, "Lol have some fun! It's notthat serious!!"
Last week, BON JOVI guitarist RICHIESAMBORA left theband's tour to deal with mysterious "personal issues."
Naturally, there was speculation that he'd fallen off the wagon,but Richie said he was "well," and just had to deal with "apersonal matter."
Well, the "New York Post" claims he IS drinking like crazyagain.
A so-called "insider" says, quote, "JON [BON JOVI] has been trying to get rid ofhim. He drinks constantly and has a stream of Hollywood bimbos around allthe time . . . he really is a hard partier, and so are the women he hangs outwith."
There was also talk that Jon and Richie had a falling out, andthat may have played a role, too . . . assuming Richie didn't consider hisdrinking and his bimbos a problem.
The "Post" says Jon's wife Dorothea"urged" Jon to give Richie the boot in order to keep the show free ofdrugs and alcohol.
Teenage girls: Drama alert! LOUIS TOMLINSON from ONE DIRECTION and TOM PARKER from THE WANTED have been sending sassy messages back and forth on Twitter.
One Direction and The Wanted have had words in the past . . . but this time, it all started when Louis re-Tweeted a link to an interview where Tom admitted that he was, quote, "shattered" after being rejected by the British "X Factor".
Of course, One Direction did really well on the show, finishing third in 2010.
Tom accused Louis of talking smack about them because Louis was upset that he "didn't get into" The Wanted. Louis responded, quote, "Pal, we both know I wouldn't waste my time auditioning for your band. You humor me with your bad boy persona."
It went on and on . . . and other group members entered the fight, including JAY MCGUINESS, who called One Direction, quote, "One of the most overrated, arrogant and insincere" groups . . . with a, quote, "shocking lack of talent."

Online review from Slowtwitch
RealCyclist is real good Can't Post
I just wanted to share an experience I had with the people at realcyclist.com. For those of you who don't know, they are the same people that run bonktown, chainlove, huchnroll and I think Backcountry.com and backcountryoutlet.
I ordered a Kreitler flywheel from them. The box broke open in transit. The UPS driver leaned the box up against the door to protect the broken seal, so clearly had noticed it. The flywheel was a little scuffed (no big deal) but the drive belt was missing. I talked to UPS who sent a driver to examine the packaging. There wasn't anything to see because all it was just an open box - the problem was that the box was open when it came to me - so they "resolved" the complaint - meaning they closed it without doing anything.
I called realcyclist, spoke with Tayler who suggested that I send the flywheel back for replacement. I suggested that it might be easier just to order a new belt - I was fully prepared to pay for it. He said he would check their inventory and get back to me. A few hours later I had a voicemail that they didn't have any extra belts but that they would order one from Kreitler for me. Two days later, it showed up at my house, direct from Kreiter.
I'm impressed. That is pretty good service. Although I buy mostly from my LBS, I will probably order from them again.

Comments On Mar 21, 2014:Was out at Ocotillo for a quick ride and it was supposed to be in the mid 90's by the evening. Got out there a little early, and it was still registering 100. During that time my son came down with a fever above 100. I soaked the shirt in cold water, and put it on him until we could get everything packed up and ready to go. his temp had dropped to 99 while just wearing the shirt. He also didn't want to get in the car, being that he is a young kid who thinks he is fine no matter what. It definitely cooled his core down a bit.

Fusion Nano BiColor 9.2mm
**Please note, we have limited quantities of outlet items available. Any orders placed for items which are out of stock will be cancelled.**
As of 12/03/15 we had 3 of the 50M Purple available and 6 of the 50M Purples available.
The Nano may be the most versatile rope in Sterling's line up. It's both the largest diameter half and skinniest single rope that we offer. Duel certified, the Nano is the top choice rope of many of our athletes for alpine climbs, extended expeditions and long routes where rope drag would be an issue.
The BiColor version of the Nano offers a colored pattern change at the halfway point to help you quickly identify the center of your rope when setting up a rappel or hanking your rope up after a climb.
NOTE: Due to the Nanos' small diameter, it is recommended that it only be used by experienced climbers and belayers and NOT for top-roping or working of routes. It is critical that proper belay devices be used and extreme caution should be taken.

The decision by Chama Cha Mapinduzi's Central Committee to endorse President Jakaya Kikwete's inention to make a surgical reshuffle of the cabinet is a long-awaited move which should have been taken a long time ago.
It may serve to restore some confidence in the government, but much depends on whether the reshuffle net will be cast wide enough to ensnare all those mentioned by CAG and if the dismissals will be accompanied by serious and expeditious prosecutions, trials and convictions where applicable.
Otherwise we may end up witnessing symbolic show trials, as is the case with the EPA and other corruption cases now in court. I am informed that investigations of nearly 80 percent of these by PCCB have been completed but the prosecutions are blocked by the powers that be. The move therefore may not yield much political mileage for CCM.
In the long-term, however, this is a matter that should receive due attention in the constitution-making process by setting out clear and legally actionable standards of ethics in the public service.
At the moment, for example, we have the embarrassing and deplorable situation where some MPs, while arraigned in court on corruption charges, are still in Parliament participating in making laws of the land. At the very least, in recognition and affirmation of the sanctity of the House, they should have stayed out until their cases were decided.
