Customer Reviews
- Military Grade Review by Seshu
- Great watch - only a few drawbacks Review by Carolyn
The Observer was my second purchase from Suunto. I bought it because it had many of the features I loved on my Vector, yet the Observer is smaller and I find it more comfortable to wear. For day-to-day use the watch is perfect. Having used the Vector extensively, I found the menu easy to navigate and the watch is easy to set. This is one of my more accurate watches. Drift is inevitable with instruments, yet I have not noticed any issues with time, altitude/pressure or temperature. The watch is equipped with a compass as well, but I rarely use a watch compass. I know of no electronic compass that can replace a good baseplate compass. I have worn the watch sport climbing, alpine climbing, backpacking, hiking, mountain biking and skiing. I am of the opinion that this is a better "touring" watch than a hard-core back country instrument. I wear the Observer more, yet I still prefer the Vector when I am out in the wild.
Buttons work great in the office and around the town. On two occasions skiing, the running log in the "log book" function was prematurely terminated when buttons were pressed by coat/glove material. The band does not fit over my gloved wrist. I no longer wear this watch skiing.
Another item of note worth describing is the independent altimeter/barometer function. On the Observer, the watch is either in altimeter mode or barometer mode. I originally thought this would be nice because the altitude would be locked down when I am stationary, and the barometer would be locked down when I'm on the move. The feature works great if I know I'm going to be on the move and if I remember to change over to the altimeter. Since I live in the mountains, I change elevations every time I get in the car. On occasion, I am curious to know my approximate elevation, but I don't change over every single time I head out the door. Over time, I have found that I prefer the "floating" format for pressure that the Vector has. Even with changes in the atmospheric pressure, I can have a pretty good elevation estimate.
- Great looking watch
- Functions work properly
- Rugged. Only the tiniest of scratches on the crystal after seven years or so.
- Altimeter resolution is 1m/3ft. The resolution is not finer than the instrument's ability to measure.
- The "log book" feature is outstanding. I love it and use it.
- The display (standard Black on white) is easy to read.
- Alarm is not very loud.
- Stopwach resolution is 1/10 second. Not a huge deal, but most digital watches are 1/100. This "con" flies in the face of the altimeter resolution "pro" because my finger presses are less precise than a 1/100 reading anyway.
- Every digital watch should have a timer! The Observer does not.
- I prefer the floating altimeter/barometer as found on the Vector.
- Battery cover is quite difficult to remove. I have always managed to do it without digging up the back of the case, but the cover is sealed in there pretty tight even when it's not locked down.
Bottom line:
Great watch. Very useful features for the outdoors enthusiast, but probably better suited to hiking and biking than skiing or climbing. I would buy it again. (Posted on 10/12/11)
- Great watch with a horrible strap Review by Jack
This watch is really a great watch. I was issued this while in the military and it worked like a champ for the 5 years I owned it. The backlight is very unique in the sense that instead of the back of the face lighting up and the readings staying black it is the opposite which is something I really appreciated while out on missions. The compass was good enough to give you a good sense of direction and keep you going on the right vector, but I still relied on my pocket compass to do my land nav. I never really used the barometer or altimeter settings, so I can't really comment on those. The thermometer was really pretty accurate and if you look at temp reading while on your wrist I had to remember that it wasn't going to be spot on due to my body temp.
The worst thing about this watch was it's strap. I'm talking in the past tense because I just lost the watch yesterday. I have already replaced the strap (about a year and a half ago) and it broke again. The only problem is I don't know when/where and I can't find the watch anywhere. So my advice would be to inspect your strap about once a month or so to look for cracking, etc. The strap should last a good 2-5 years depending on how often you wear the watch. A new strap will run you in the neighborhood of $100, but as another commenter wrote there are no options for a full titanium or even stainless steel strap. (Posted on 10/12/11)
- Takes a lickin and i ain't bullsittin Review by Alan
outdoor oriented lad, grew tired of purchasing thirty dollar timex watch only to fall apart in three months. purchased this watch upon its inception around year 2001 or so. great watch, puts up with my inability to tender gently while being worn. my only piece of advice-spend the extra bucks and purchase the stainless/titanium band. the elastomer band does not last and is nothing more than a futile effort to stay affixed to wrist. great customer service, excellent & accurate features, and rarely do i endorse items but this one warrants lavish praise.

Video: Tree falls on SW Atlanta house
ATLANTA -- A fallen tree caused headaches for commuters and outages for residents on Moores Mill Road Monday morning.
The tree is blocking the entire road near West Wesley Road NW. 11Alive traffic anchor Elle Duncan recommends taking Peachtree Battle Road as an alternate.
Georgia Power said the tree knocked the power out for about 450 customers from Moores Mill to Northside Drive.
Another tree fell on Sylvan Road at Burns Drive SW in East Point overnight. The southbound lanes of Sylvan Road are blocked, but the northbound lanes are still open.

ALBION, N.Y.- It was a mystery for more than a century, who was the boy in the front row of the execution photo of the Lincoln assassination conspirators? Many believe he's from Western New York.
The photograph shows Lewis Payne, David Herold, George Atzerodt and Mary Surratt hanging in the gallows, while a gallery of spectators look on. The front rows are made up of soldiers, one group from the 16th New York Volunteer Cavalry, which cornered and killed John Wilkes Booth 12 days after the murder of Abraham Lincoln.
The surprising thing in the photo is the presence of a small boy in the front row, standing among the soldiers, wearing a military uniform. Researchers now speculate that it is Albion native John Collins.
Collins went to visit his older brother William, a member of the regiment. When his brother was captured, the younger Collins had nobody to take him home to Albion, so he stayed on, becoming a regiment boy. That was something of a mascot for the troops.
After the regiment caught Booth, they were invited to the execution. Collins, years laterspoke of his regret in being that close to the gallows.
Collins soon returned home to Albion, and became a boy of the streets,making money by tending to mules along the canal.
He soon came to the attention of some of the members of the First Presbyterian Church, who talked him into attending Sunday school at the church. He began attending regularly. He was talked into applying to the Normal School in Brockport (now SUNY College at Brockport) where he excelled in school. He did so well, he was accepted to Yale University. A church member subsidized his tuition.
While at Yale, Collins continued to get more and more invloved in the Presbyterian Church and community activities. While he was still a student some local and business leaders in Hartford approached him about coming up with a program to help kids stay off the streets and stop intimidating and harrassing customers.
Collins began the Boys Club of Hartford, which grew into the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. He also became a nationally known leader in the Presbyterian Church.
All of that miles away from the day he was front rowat one of the darkest times in American history.

May 5, 2016
Associated Press Release
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican Sen. Ted Cruz has ended a marathon Senate speech opposing President Barack Obama's health care law after talking for 21 hours, 19 minutes.
The tea party conservative stopped speaking at 12 noon EDT Wednesday, sitting down to yield the floor. The Texas freshman began talking Tuesday afternoon, seeking the urge defunding of the 3-year-old health system overhaul. Fellow conservatives helped by making occasional remarks.
Cruz had virtually no chance of prevailing.
The Senate debated the House bill defunding the health care law while preventing a government shutdown on Tuesday. Cruz wanted to derail it because Senate Democrats have the votes to remove the health care provision before sending the bill back to the House.
Many Republicans opposed Cruz's effort, fearing their party might be blamed if the government closes.

A "Sage" (仙人, Sennin) is someone who is able to utilise senjutsu (仙術, Literally meaning: Sage Techniques), and has mastered the art of Sage Mode or someone given said title because of their renown for their great power, wisdom, or holy standing.
Main articles: Senjutsu and Sage Mode Senjutsu (仙術, English TV: Sage Jutsu, Literally meaning: Sage Techniques) is a specialised field of techniques that allows the user to sense and then gather natural energy. Senjutsu practitioners learn to draw the energy of nature inside of them, blending it with their own chakra. This adds a new dimension of power to the practitioner's chakra, resulting in the creation of "senjutsu chakra" (仙術チャクラ, senjutsu chakura). Very few people are shown to have mastered senjutsu. This is because both learning and using senjutsu is not safe; death may easily occur while learning to use it. Fukasaku claims that the toad sculptures on Mount Myōboku are those who failed to master the art of senjutsu. Naruto Uzumaki, Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru and Jiraiya are currently the only known human users of senjutsu. Other animals such as Fukasaku and Shima are also able to use it with the White Snake Sage and Great Toad Sage amongst others, being at least knowledgeable in it.
Other Uses
"Sage" can also refer to an individual renowned for their great power, wisdom, or holy standing.
- The Sage of the Six Paths was one of the most famous sages in the series, a legendary figure who discovered chakra, created modern ninjutsu, the one who saved the world from the Ten-Tails and was the first jinchūriki. It is unknown if he too was capable of using natural energy.
- Son Gokū's moniker: The Great Sage Equalling Heaven (斉天大聖, Seiten Taisei) also makes mention of being a Sage.

Welcome to the Mapping Globalization Project!
The Mapping Globalization website is intended for everyone interested in globalization. The main goal of the website is to make empirical work on globalization as widely accessible as possible.
The website offers an expanding set of resources for students, instructors, and researchers, and provides a forum for empirical research on globalization. We are especially interested in raw data and in the visualization of such data, including maps and animations.
We have adopted a comprehensive definition of globalization that is simply based on geographically expanding networks of transactions, where transactions may be of any type, and may have occurred at any time. This naturally supports a strongly historical perspective that includes trade, migration, transportation, communication, empires, and so on.
We welcome additional materials for inclusion and suggestions for links to related resources.
The Mapping Globalization web site, or MG for short, has three main sections:

Course-Restricted Maps
For copyright reasons, access to some of the maps in the map collection is restricted to students enrolled in specific courses at Princeton University. Thumbnails of these maps will nevertheless appear in the results returned by a Category Query.
Instructors at Princeton may arrange to gain access to these course-restricted maps by contacting Professor Miguel Centeno.

Stop Global Warming: The Solution is You—An Activist's Guide
Denver, CO (9/6/2006)—Global warming and its devastating effects are issues that dot headlines throughout the country on any given day. In her new book Stop Global Warming: The Solution is You—An Activist's Guide, producer and environmental activist Laurie David addresses the threat of global warming and urges readers to become the next wave of activists on this critical issue. Stop Global Warming seeks to turn headlines into action by showing readers how every individual matters and can make a real difference to help solve this urgent problem in this growing movement to protect our future. From unplugging cell phone chargers when not in use, to purchasing post consumer recycled waste paper products, David suggests that it isn't about doing everything, it's about everyone doing something. She offers suggestions on how shifting basic, everyday behaviors will help Americans reduce their own global warming pollution and help shift the country's desire to tackle the problem before its too late.
In this personal account of her journey into activism, David's powerful voice inspires readers with grounded information on why everyone (and particularly young people) should get involved in the race to stop global warming. Interspersed throughout the text, short statements by celebrities, mayors, governors, senators, business leaders, and other concerned Americans discuss why the issue of global warming is really about protecting all that we hold near and dear.
"So many people ask, 'What can I do?' and it is my hope that this book will help answer that question and inspire a whole new set of activists to help stop global warming," says David.
Laurie David is also the founder of the Stop Global Warming Virtual March (StopGlobalWarming.org) that began in April of 2005. This historic initiative is engaging religious leaders, labor unions, elected officials from all sides of the aisle, business leaders, and American citizens to urge the United States to address the ticking time bomb that is global warming.
Stop Global Warming: The Solution Is You—An Activist's Guide includes a foreword by David's husband, comedian Larry David, and an afterword by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

At what was maybe the most epic birthday party of 2014, guests including Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Jamie Hince, Beth Ditto, Jefferson Hack, Tati Cotliar, Bobby Gillespie, Katy England, Joan Smalls, Edward Enninful, Harry Brant, Peter Brant Jr, Mert Alas, Marcus Piggott, Giovanna Battaglia, Frankie Rayder, Mariacarla Boscono, and Anna Dello Russo flocked into the Los Olivios horse stud farm in Ibiza Friday night for Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday party. Frenzied Instagramming ensued.
Beats by Dre gifted Riccardo Tisci 24ct gold Pro headphones for his 40th birthday, presented to him by Naomi Campbell at the party, which went with a VIP Studio 74 disco party theme (the year Riccardo Tisci was born), but with a "Black Subversive Glamour" dress code.
Some highlights:
*The farm in Ibiza was covered in white roses.
*A huge mirror ball hung above a massive white floral "RT Star."
*All walkways were lined with candles, tracing the venue in the dark Spanish night.
*On Riccardo's arrival at the party 40 white balloons were released.
*Guests were welcomed by a solo Spanish guitarist.
*The cake was four-tiered, white, and with one candle.
*Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell led the singing of "Happy Birthday."
*Kanye West serenaded him with "Niggaz in Paris," "Turn Up The Lights," and "Gold Digger," then led a birthday cheer
*Justin Bieber was one of the first to arrive at 10pm
*Many guests partyed until 6am
*Justin Bieber left with Kendall Jenner
*Special video messages from the following were played, featuring friends who could not make it wishing Riccardo a great night:
Alicia Keys, Anna Wintour, Anne Hathaway, Florence Welch, Jake Gylenhaal, Julia Roberts, Marina Abramovic, Steven and Liv Tyler, and Kanye West (giving the impression he wasn't coming, saying sorry he coudln't be there. He later appeared on a balcony to announce that Riccardo Tisci is the only fashion designer who "takes it to the streets" and that he's "making shit in Paris that the hood can related to" He went on to discuss how much Tisci's work has inspired himself, Virgil Abloh and Don C, and how influential to his culture and generation Tisci has been, finishing by saying "Friends Forever!").
Riccardo Tisci wore black Dr. Martens boots customised with crosses and skulls and his gold Beat Pros. Kanye West wore the same black shirt as Riccardo (by Givenchy) featuring a circle of white roses motif on the breast pocket. Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and Kendall Jenner all arrived in black Givenchy, adhering to the dresscode.
VIPs could interact with Beats x Riccardo Tisci Instagram birthday booth with a special icon photo frame and specially created hashtag #RTBeats40 and @RTBeats40 with every VIP being able to add #'theirname' and @'theirInstagram.' All guests could take home their personal photos. Kris Jenner was spotted deep in convo with Justin Bieber in the Instagram booth.
"I am grateful to have spent my 40th birthday in Ibiza in the company of Beats by Dr. Dre," said Tisci. "They made the celebration unique and memorable. Music is at the core of my creativity, so it was only natural for me to have Beats by Dr. Dre involved. And to celebrate in Ibiza, one of my favourite islands in the world, surrounded by loved ones, just made it all complete"

New World of Darkness (I have a particular love for Changeling, the Lost)
Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 (I once also tried to play 2E via PbP)
Dungeons & Dragons 4E
Mouse Guard
Apocalypse World
Since I'm so new to most of the systems and learn better by doing rather than reading, mechanics can still confound me. But I think that my forte is presenting a living, breathing person on the page. At least, that's why I think most people keep me around in their games. ;)

- I have far too many interests that come and go. Currently, I'm very much into art. I paint in a variety of media, watercolors mostly as of late. I also enjoy the very zen quality of using colored pencils. As much as I prowl through the internet, I enjoy a lot of antiquated things - fountain pens, calligraphy, needlework, handbound books and the like. When I'm not indoors, I love camping, kayaking, and hiking.

Show Description
Months of federal silence on general aviation aircraft searches by Customs and Border Protection agents have prompted a final demand for answers from AOPA, along with advice for pilots, and a plan to act if answers are not forthcoming. Also this week, a successful ditching is only half the battle: AOPA Live got our feet wet with an in-depth look at open water survival training, picking up some potentially life-saving tips and tricks. We'll review the latest David Clark headset, a brand-new model built for comfort. Rod Machado's regular "License to Learn" segment will explain flutter, and what that has to do with those little drain holes in aircraft control surfaces that you may have wondered about.

It seems if you are outside USA they assume you are using a stolen card until you can prove otherwise by faxing both sides of your credit card (fair enough, they already had me type out the info) and my credit card statement (!). Um, no, not going to do that.
On the flickr group people assert this is standard practice (uh, no, never had to do that before) and it's for both parties protection (maybe, but still not going to do it).
One of my credit cards is purely online, I don't get a printed statement. What would they have me do in that case, print off the web page and fax that. Hyeah. Really secure. Plus how many times have you seen consumer report tv programs where they go through some bins and have everything they need to order a ton of junk, including as it happens fresh credit cards.
Sorry, there are some hoops even this trained monkey will not jump through.
Problem is, karma being what it is, I will probably find down the road I absolutely have to order something from these jokers.
Update: Heh, the stuff arrived this morning. So despite A) they said they wouldn't and B) I asked for the order cancelling, it all arrived. I could have saved myself all the hassle of sourcing different suppliers, paying customs import duty, extra delivery. Lesson learned, patience first, rant later. Thanks Adorama and my apologies.

Heh I remember bringing up that trick during the non-character tourney. Used undine on blade wyvern then having it switch with high agi undead to massive return undeads using levi.
Anyways, another one of those cool perm/temp stat skills is belphagor's beyond help. It is interesting that it makes the current attack permanent, not just give +50 perm attack as one start. (It is also interesting to know that he is a start skill, different from the rest' auto skills. That means that he is weak to emana but can be combo'd with pixy greatsword) Anyways, so a good combo with belphagor (and perhaps other units on the field) would be heierrat field commander ss. That ss focuses belphagor and gives it 20 attack/2 agi boost. So when belphagor makes the attack permanent, it will be 50 rather than 70. Next turn, if eskatia or whatever is still on the field, he'll have 120 attack. Very nice way to boost up attack quickly and make sure you get those one shot kos.

Betty says, "Hi Joel, it's Betty Sexton.
Hi I'm Betty Sexton with KKTV.
You're Joel?"
This two-story home in Monument once listed for more than a million dollars.
It's been on and off the market for four years after the owners had to move out of state.
They say they were surprised when they got a call from a realtor.
Erick Waggoner tells us, "To get a phone call that says, "Hey Erick, someone's in your house is unbelievable."
The Waggoners say the man who moved his family of six into their home is Joel Riddle.
We knocked on the door and Joel answered.
Betty asks, "I'm wondering why are you living here free?"
Joel answers, "The owner at one time asked me to send him money because he told me the house was... He was putting it into foreclosure."
But the Waggoners say that's not true.
They say Joel and his wife, Sharon signed this contract to buy their home last July.
That's when they kicked out their long term tenants who had been renting for three years. But the deal to sell never went through.
Joel explains, "The transaction fell out of happening."
Betty asks, "And it fell out of happening because you didn't have the money or what happened?"
Joel says, "Because a deal didn't close."
The Waggoners say they quickly put the house back on the market, but then they learned the Riddles had moved in.
Joel has a different story. He says the Waggoners were letting his family stay there as they tried work out a deal.
Betty says, "If you have some proof I'd love to see it."
Joel replies, "I would imagine I could come up with some emails and I'll be glad to send those to you."
We're still waiting for those emails.
Meanwhile, we called the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.
A sergeant paid Joel a visit and prepared a report for criminal tresspass.
It's now up the district attorney's office to decide if charges should be filed.
Lt. Jeff Kramer says, "It's not something that we've seen. Again it's the first time I've heard of an event like this and I've been investigating with this office for about 16 years."
Laura Kirkham-Waggoner told us, "It's consuming. It's draining. Nobody has time to spend, you know, emotional time working on something like this.
Joel told Betty and the sheriff's office he'd start moving out this weekend. We'll keep you posted.
Lt. Kramer says if you own vacant property and move out of town it's important to have someone keep a close eye on it.

The Syncro series brings that attention to detail into a smaller, lighter, better ventilated package. The Syncro 20 is built to hold a 3-liter reservoir (sold separately), and uses Osprey's Airspeed Suspension, which the company claims keeps your back cool and the pack secure. It also has an integrated rain cover, a nifty helmet latch, attachment point for commuter lights, and plenty of organized storage. The model comes in red or black, and costs about $120.

One of the best maps I've seen here. Period.
Posting this here because Vorropohaiah said I should
Val Nevan is a city in the conworld I started when I was still running a Dungeons & Dragons campaign (which is long-dead). It is the capital of the Kingdom of Ainemmais, which is in turn one of the kingdoms that make up the greater kingdom of Muyremere. While my D&D-playing days are over, I'm still busy fleshing out that kingdom and drawing the maps is the part I enjoy best. I could write some history, but I fear it would bore everyone to death the way it did my players.
I got most of my inspiration for this map from four things:
- the town of Valkenburg in the south of the Netherlands. See the sandcastle impression of the monster that may have once dominated the town,
- Hochburg Emmendingen in the Black Forest, Germany,
- the city of Freiburg (Black Forest, as well),
- an old map of Brugge (or Bruges if you will) and
- quite a few maps and tutorials I've seen here and on the Guild's DA-page.
As an aside, I suggest you visit these places if you have the opportunity. They are made of awesome
Some pics I looked at A LOT: 1 2 4
I had been wanting to do a isometric-y map for a long time, but never felt I'd be able to pull it off. I'd tried a few times using a grid and photohop, but it never looked decent. Then I went back to old-fashioned pen and paper and things started to come together. Thankfully, it turned out to be more of a matter of patience than real drawing skills. Technically, I screwed up quite a lot (accidentally using slightly different projections, mistaking the relative size of buildings, smudging), but because all the houses are so small and there are so many of them, they don't seem to stand out too much if you look at the map as a whole. Just don't zoom in on the houses on the street near the east gate and notice how they all appear to be falling over in one direction or other
It was drawn on A3 paper with pencils and my trusted micron pens, then scanned and coloured in Photoshop. The details like the writing and the coats of arms were done digitally, but to preserve the hand-made look, I printed them out, traced them, and scanned them again. I used a stock image for the aged-paper background, but I have absolutely no idea where I got it, so I can't credit the person responsible. If someone here recognises it, please let me know.
I don't have anything else to tell. It's been tremendous fun to do, your support and advice were awesome, and I'm glad it's done. Thanks for watching

It's such a beautiful map... I had to tear myself away from looking at it. You put such an insane amount of detail into it. Well done.
I think I already said how awesome this map is on the other forum. It is a very fine piece of art and hugely inspiring.

The Federal Aviation Administration lost contact with the Cessna 310 on Thursday afternoon, and the crash site was discovered Friday about 20 miles west of Vero Beach, Fla.
Authorities haven't released the names of the victims, but a family member identified them as Rob Krieger—a Florida businessman—and brothers Kit and Barry Cody.
Kit Cody's son-in-law, Bryan Edwards, tells The Cody Enterprise the three had been "island hopping" in the Bahamas before the crash.

Hold on.....
TESTOSTERONE causes secondary male characteristics which includes fighting with other intact males for resources. Resources could be territory, access to females, and pack position. THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR. We have watered this down so much in our domesticated animals and particular breeds especially, goldens included -- but it is still normal canine behavior, whether we like it or not. It is not a lack of socialization or training. In many breeds, goldens included, intact males that live together can live in complete harmony, but novel, outside males may make waves. It is normal.
Neutering removes the primary endogenous source of testosterone in the male animal and will help curb same-sex aggression. This is why they castrate bulls and geld stallions -- it makes them much easier to manage! Same thing happens in dogs.
Bottom line, don't beat yourself up about it, you did a perfectly fine job socializing your dog, and your dog is behaving normally for his age, species and sexual status. Neutering will most certainly eliminate or reduce the negative testosterone-based behaviors. That's the only behavior change it will bring about.

But even if they geld stallions, they still will exhibit issues with other horses based on their personalities... <- My horse was gelded at 4 because he was untrainable otherwise. Neutering had a calming effect on him and he became trainable afterwards, but he still throws his weight around the field (he turf guards the food and water and has chased other boys right through fences), flirts with the girls (I will never stop teasing my barn lady about the one time she forgot who she was dealing with when she turned him loose in the mare field - he spent the day chasing girls), and will fight with certain horses. I forgot about the stalls too... my barn lady has to be careful who she puts him next to in order to prevent wall kicking and climbing. If you've ever seen a horse fight, it is a terrifying thing - especially when it's your horse and you are thinking about the vet bills... With him and some of his full blooded brothers, they simply cannot be turned out together because their attitudes don't mesh well.
My feeling as far as dogs - neutering is a good idea, but it's not the only action that needs to be done. Bumping up management and training is absolutely necessary. I can think of a LOT of neutered dogs who are loose around other dogs when they should not be. These are dogs neutered very early, etc...
If this is a new issue then I would think neutering would do nothing. My male dog is neutered and he will fight another male dog IF the other dog starts something...neutered or not. Ive owned intact males before who were not neutered and they occasionally got into a scrap (no blood was drawn and it was over in seconds) and not once did the decision to neuter cross my mind.
Some dogs do not like other dogs, and neutering will do nothing..or make things worse. Neutering takes away a vital part of the dogs system..hormones. Was this fight a true fight or was it a scrap? If fur was flying, blood was running and dogs ended up at the vet with stitches...thats a true fight. If its just a matter of two dogs going at it for a few seconds over whatever...thats not a true fight to cause concern for me. I had mine at the park a while back, he was playing with a Heeler and he got carried away with how rough he was playing. Heelers turned around and went after him, growls, barks and bites were given and it was over in seconds and they went right back to playing.
The Heeler was meerly putting him in his place. No blood, no vet trips no nothing.
I would think twice before neutering you dog over a couple fights with other males. There could of been circumstances for it, an in heat female in the area (my male will get weird with another male over an in heat female and mines neutered). The other dog could of pushed things to far, thrown off weird body language, given weird eye contact....could of been anything. I wouldnt go removing my dogs body parts over something like that before I consulted a trainer (one that does NOT say neutering will solve your problem).
Learned behavoir will not stop with neutering. My dog still will act all macho around other male dogs he meets, especially if they arent fixed. If the other dog starts something then mine will loose patients. My Rottie was not neutered and he couldnt give a flying F*** about anything...but another male dog starts a fight with him...oh boy

Max has been neutered. He is the same confident dog now that he was before the surgery. The neutering did seem to ease some tensions that had been happening at dog park involving other male dogs. He still lifts his leg sometimes, and exhibits other typical male dog behavior.
I would add that Max weighed about 90+ pounds when he had the surgery, and that his recovery was uneventful. He was subdued for about a day and we did not go back to dog park for about two weeks. He wore the cone-of-shame for two or three days.
|The Following User Says Thank You to Max's Dad For This Useful Post:
As for convincing your husband, that is a whole other issue than if you should or shouldn't, and what the desired change in the dog would be. Husbands tend to value that part of their own anatomy and can be resistent to allowing it removed from the dog. I am not sure why since the husband gets to keep his.....
I would talk to your husband about how the dog will never be used for breeding so he will always be in a state of sexual readiness without a sexual partner. It is unfair to the dog to live his whole life in this manner. That angle might get him to agree and then I would schedule the proceedure as soon as possible before he changes his mind.
I had the same issue, but for me it was because my husband was dead-set on breeding. After getting some advice on here and doing some research of my own, I presented him with the facts of why I thought breeding was a bad idea and he agreed with me.
Basically, for me it was a communication issue that we talked out. Does your husband know why you want to neuter the dog? Or does he just think that you want what can be an expensive surgery for no reason other than to get it? Maybe telling him "I want our dog neutered because of (your reason here) and I think it will help with these issues because (your information here)" will help. Men like it when we explain ourselves to them I've found

Just because a dog happens to be an intact male and thus possesses testosterone does not give the dog a free pass to act like a jerk and behave aggressively.
I am a breeder and I own 5 intact male dogs that range in age from 13.5 to almsot 8 mos old. They do not fight with each other over anything, nor should they. We also have a number of girls so we have girls in season often. Our dogs live in the house and get along with one another. Communicating with one another is one thing but actually pushing the envelope to the point where the dog attacks another dog is quite another and it is very clear that this is not acceptable in goldens in the golden retriever standard which was written many years ago. It is not neccessary for them to fight to be able to communicate with one another.
There is another forum member who owns a dog who has behaved poorly around other intact male dogs in the past. He was around our 8 year old intact, stud dog. He did try to get a rise out of our dog but our dog was not willing to engage in the behavior.
Neutering does not fix all problems with behavior, especially aggressive behavior. There are usually other issues involved with training that also need to be addressed, as well. However, neutered dogs will stop lifting their leg and do far less posturing, etc than their unneutered counterparts.
If this has happened all of a sudden with a dog who has been stable in the past and not had issues, I would get a thyroid panel done as a low thyroid level can cause aggression issues. Also, the normal ranges that are given for the thyroid testing are for canines as a species and not for golden retrievers as a breed. Goldens tend to need to be more toward the middle of the range for their thyroid levels to be where they need to be. Example, a t4 of 1.2 and the top of the "low range" is 1.0. This is a dog who would benefit from supplementing the thyroid.

Thank you for all the opinions!
There is no dog training course in our area, so I learn by myself through internet and books. I enjoyed every minute of training our boy (and myself) since day one.
He was very friendly with most of the dogs before, and would like to share food and toys with others. This new fighting issue really upset me as I had no such experience.
Thank you for your posts and I understand neutering better now. I will discuss further with my husband and think twice about neutering. No matter what our decision is, I will try to enhance the socialization training first, which shouldn't have been neglected.

Comments about Attack Ocheltree Drumhead Pack:
Been playing 47 years. Got coated for my 10" snare batter. These are as bad as any cheap original heads I've ever played and worse than some. Worthless.
Comments about Attack Ocheltree Drumhead Pack:
A great value on a very well made, great sounding set of heads for any given drum you need to replace both reso and beater on. I would recommend these to any drummer I know. JUST MAKE SURE YOU CLICK THE ONE YOU WANT ON THE LIST BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL MIXED UP!!!!
lol. Im still happy with my purchase even tho I didnt get the coated/clear set i meant to. I do wish whoever manages the website would try to organize the list by clear/clear small to large heads, and coated clear small to large.
Thanks - Van C.
I am a fairly new drummer so I dont have a whole lot of experience with various different drum heads other then the years Ive spent as a guitarist in various bands with various drummers and theyre respective kits. I have to say that for the money this is the best value out there on a set of heads for any single tom drum. I actualy meant to get the coated top head/clear thin resonant head pack, and accidently got the clear/clear pack. I was a little dismayed at this because i had been looking forward to switching to a coated tom head for my 12" mounted. I was actualy very suprized by the warmth and tone of these heads once I managed to get them tuned properly(this took me a few days and trys since I am just learning to tune them properly) at first I was a little dismayed because I couldnt seem to get them tuned correctly and it was a little smacky sounding to me. I waited a couple of says and gave another go at fine tuning the resonant head and then lowered the beater head on my 12" a little and was pleasently suprized at the warmth and quality of the tone I acheived. I guess maybe the head just needed a couple of days to stretch and seat properly on the tom. All in all(other then having accidently clicked on the clear/clear pack and not the coated/clear) I am very very happy with this purchase. I think any drummer could benifit from these heads, and as far as I can tell they are excellently made,and have a nice round clear pronounced tone. The top head seems thick enough to be durable yet very easily resonates. And the very thin resonant head ( wich is a apparently not just a cheapo resonant head) is actualy one of Attacks ultra-thin tom beater heads. So all in all its nice to know I could just switch the head out in a pinch and be able to get a descent sound from the bottom head as well. Once again, for the money I think Attack's Ocheltree drumhead packs are the way to go if you need to replace both the beater head and resonant at the same time. Im happy I invested $$ and some change on these instead of buying a better known brand of heads for more like $15 a peice at a local music store. I hope they come out with more varieties of heads and I would like to see a EMAD style kick head from them.
Like i said, I am a fairly new drummer and have only bought about 3 diff heads so far in my life. Ive had the chance to play on a huge variety of high quality drums equiped with REMO,Aquarians,Evans..you name it. And as far as I can tell..these are a great set of standard drum heads. Once again, if you are on a budget like me..and have to replace both youre top and bottom heads on any given tom at one time...this is definatly the way to go. I do however wish I had payed more attention to the fact that the packs are all mixed up on the list. I meant to get a coated/clear set and didnt realize i had ordered the clear/clear untill it was to late. However im still very happy with this purchase and i believe i will be putting these heads on all of my toms at least.
Excellent value for what you get. The heads are pre-rounded near the edges so they seemed to be very easy to seat properly on the rims. The head is allso apparently not glued to the metal ring. They have some special process of actualy tightly folding the metal around the perimiter of the head so that there is less of a fail-zone. All in all, after letting them sit for about 2 or 3 days, and experimenting with the tuning(ima noob) I am extreamly happy with this purchase. If you are on a budget like I am, and have to replace both bottom and top heads on any given tom at the same time..this is definatly the best deal on a quality head ive ever seen.
Comments about Attack Ocheltree Drumhead Pack:
I bought these heads just to try out and the verdict is in: these heads are killer. I'm using them on my dw 5x14 collectors snare. They tuned up nice and easy, lots of tone, not to much ring. A sure surprise. I can't speak for all attack heads but these do the job. Don't be fooled by the brand, try some out they may surprise you!

Two Time Defending Champion Brett Simpson Bows Out
This mornings ESPN countdown of Tuesday's top plays kicks off with an air reverse by Nike rider Gabriel Medina in the US Open's round of 96.
"Look at that!" exclaims the analyst on TV, trying to sound excited but noticeably uncertain. "A big air completed at yesterdays US Open Of Surfing, or USOS, as the surfers like to call it." USOS? Did he just make that up?
At number 9, the TV flashes back to Tiger Woods and his return (again) to golf. The broadcaster relaxes.
Coincidence? Or are we seeing the Nike influence on this years event before even arriving to the beach?
The surf is 2-feet and inconsistent. The non-stop northerly wind the last few days brought the water temperature into the icy range, and most everyone is sporting fullsuits. By 9 in the morning – despite the heavy fog and cool ocean breeze– the beach is jam packed with spectators. The median age is 15, and most are female.
Brett Simpson paddles out in heat 22. Having won this contest (and $200,000 in the process) the past two years, this is his event. Can he pull the three-peat?
John Florence and Thiago Camarao open with strong sevens. Brett struggles, falling on standard top turns and failing to make inside connections. With a minute to go he needs a high six, the ocean goes flat, and our two time defending champ bows out in his first heat. The beach – at least the portion that is paying attention to the surfing – goes noticeably silent.
People start filing out of the bleachers.
Two girls are sitting to my right, both of high school age. "I'm really bummed Brett lost, hasn't he won like, the past 4 years?" the one says to her friend. "Yeah, but, at least now maybe we'll see him out tonight!"
Wow. It's hard to imagine these two are capable of owning fake ID's, much less driver's licenses.
Welcome to the US Open. This week is just getting started.—Zander Morton

ASP Press Release:
Simpson Suffers Shock Round 1 Elimination At ASP PRIME Nike US Open Of Surfing
HUNTINGTON BEACH, California / USA (Wednesday, August 3, 2011) – The ASP PRIME Nike US Open of Surfing wrapped up Round 1 of competition before diving into the opening heats of Round 2 and today's proceedings saw the shock elimination of reigning two-time US Open of Surfing champion and local favorite Brett Simpson (Huntington Beach, CA), 26, as well as current leader on the ASP World Title Series, Joel Parkinson (AUS), 30, in challenging one-to-two foot (.5 metre) waves at Huntington Beach Pier.
While a mass of drama unfolded during men's competition, the ASP Top 17 took to the water for non-elimination Round 3 and the action proved to be equally enticing. Thiago Camarao (BRA), 23, and Hawaiian prodigy John John Florence (HAW), 17, were responsible for the elimination of defending event champion Brett Simpson. Camarao found a rare set-wave in his heat and capitalized on the opportunity by logging a 7-point ride to solidify his heat victory and put Simpson out of contention for a third consecutive Nike US Open of Surfing crown.
"When I paddled out I knew it was going to be gnarly with Brett (Simpson) winning the last two years and John John (Florence) having good results in the last two events," Camarao said. "I told myself I should do airs, but it never happened because it was kind of weird and small, but I just surfed and tried to go for the sets because they were the good scores. Luckily I was able to get one good set."
Bobby Martinez (Santa Barbara, CA), 28, looked electric despite the testing conditions and took down current ASP World Title Series leader Joel Parkinson as well as former three-time US Open of Surfing Champion Rob Machado (Seaside, CA), 37, in his Round 1 heat. "That was a hard heat for everyone," Martinez said. "I didn't have a heat strategy, I saw Rob (Machado) over there on his peak, but if I think about it too much I forget what I'm doing. I'm going to go home tonight to rest and just come back tomorrow."
Jeremy Flores (FRA), 23, slowly built momentum throughout his heat and punctuated his win with powerful surfing on both his forehand and backhand to take the day's highest heat-total on his last two rides of 16.10 out of 10. "It was really hard, the waves were small and with the high tide it's breaking close to the beach," Flores said. "It's hard to find the proper section to hit, but I found some okay waves and did the job so I'm happy to get through. That 8 was the only right I caught, it had a pretty fun section. I'm not really and air guy, so I just tried to do my thing and throw some spray and I guess the judges liked it."
Flores, current No. 4 on the men's ASP World Ranking, was happy to advance through his opening round heat after several of his fellow elite ASP World Title campaigners fell earlier in the day. "I'm happy to get that first round out of the way," Flores said. "In these kinds of waves, anything can happen and your wave choice is the most important thing. Some of the early heats were breaking outside and then you could get the reform, but I was kind of stoked to have a really high-tide heat, so it's the same for everyone. That way you don't need that luck on your side."
Jadson Andre (BRA), 21, relied on his signature inverted, air-reverse on a lefthand wedge in the early morning to seize the day's highest single-wave score of an 8.33 (out of 10). The Brazilian stayed as busy as possible in his heat to fight off the uncharacteristically cold water-temps and his strategy paid off in his heat. "I just love to come to Huntington," Andre said. "It's one of my favorite places in the world and I feel really great out here. It was tough because the water is really cold so I was trying to catch as many waves as I could to stay warm. Luckily I was able to get a couple of waves."
Lakey Peterson (Santa Barbara, CA), 16, Nike US Open of Surfing Wildcard, maintained her form after winning her Round 1 heat and topped Tyler Wright (AUS), 17, and Silvana Lima (BRA), 26, to win her Round 3 heat with a 15.50 out of 20 heat total and advance directly through to the Quarterfinals.
"It's definitely not great out there and hopefully we have some swell coming," Peterson said. "If you get the right ones the lefts are a lot better. It's kind of what I was going for." Peterson, current No. 7 on the ASP Women's World Ranking, is within striking distance of joining the elite ASP Top 17 for 2012 and her performance at the Nike US Open of Surfing marks an ideal start for the young Californian.
"It's definitely a dream start so far," Peterson said. "I've been really focused, really on schedule and resting a lot and I'm over the moon with excitement right now." Carissa Moore (Honolulu, HI), 18, freshly crowned ASP Women's World Champion and winner of last year's US Open of Surfing, took out her non-elimination Round 3 heat over local favorite Courtney Conlogue (Santa Ana, CA), 18, and Laura Enever (AUS), 19, and is one step closer to her impeccable record of making every final on the 2011 ASP Women's World Title Season.
"It's a little tricky with the high tide and there are a lot of close-out waves and I just rolled the dice out there," Moore said. "Luckily you only need two and I'm happy to get through. I'm hoping to get high scores, but I didn't get over a 6 out there today."
Tomorrow's Nike US Open of Surfing action will see the completion of the Round of 48 as well as the beginning of the Round of 24. Also returning will be the ASP Top 17 for Round 4 action. LIVE webcast of the Nike US Open of surfing will run from August 1 through 7, 2011 via www.usopenofsurfing.com
The Nike US Open of Surfing represents a massive action sports festival which also includes Skate, BMX, Art, Music and Fashion shows all of which are free to the public.

11 News has a warning about a suspicious message that may have already ended up on your cell phone. Crooks are sending them, trying to get ahold of your bank account information.
Scammers are sending a seemingly harmless text message to cell phones. At first glance, people may be tempted to fall for the scam.
In the last two days, 11 News has had countless calls come into our newsroom about the fake message. The text, sent out to cell phone users, is an apparent warning about Wells Fargo debit and credit cards being deactivated.
The number listed on the text to call back is a local 719 number, hoping to bait people into giving up personal and valuable information.
"I did use a Skype account, called this number, it was an electronic voice; first thing it asked me was for the 16 digit account number on my debit card," Springs homeowner Kent Nelson said.
Nelson knew better, but says he's still upset about the message. He showed us the text had been sent to both of his phones, and said his entire family received them as well.
"My first thought is, it really irritates me. I don't like to get ripped off, and I don't like to see people get ripped off, and that's what these (scammers) are trying to do," Nelson said.
Nelson hopes others will take his advice and if they get the message, to just delete it.
Wells Fargo says they have been made aware of the scam and that they will never text you asking for personal or account information.

Ben Doster
Lake Worth (Fla.) head coach Erick Lowe is well-acquainted with the Looney Family and Wake Forest after coaching older brother Joe Looney, who donned the Black and Gold from 2008-11, and the newest Demon Deacon commit for the 2013 recruiting class James Looney."Coach Mac and Coach Grobe, those guys do a hell of a job," Lowe said. "I see it as a good thing for another Looney to end up at Wake Forest with the coaching staff that they have, because those guys do a great job.""It was a pretty typical recruitment of a Division I caliber athlete such as him. He took a couple of trips, went to Wake. He's been to FIU, but with his brother being a former player and graduate of Wake Forest and former player of Coach Grobe he's got something to hold on to or something to gravitate to as far as Wake Forest goes. He's been up there quite often, and he fell in love with the place when his brother was at school there. His parents are extremely happy for him, and it's a place that they think is really suitable for him."Looney, who is rated as a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, chose Wake over scholarship offers from Bowling Green, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Marshall, Middle Tennessee State, Minnesota, South Florida, Tulane and Western Kentucky Wednesday, Oct. 31."It's always been one of his top choices, and just over the past couple of weeks he's been really pondering what he wants to do and we've talked about it," Lowe said. "This past weekend he really stressed that he's really leaning hard toward Wake Forest, and he made the decision yesterday to commit to Wake Forest."The 6-foot-4 and 275-pound defensive lineman will graduate from high school in December and will enroll at Wake Forest in January, enabling him to participate in spring practice.Lowe said Looney will be successful whether he plays defensive end or defensive tackle."He plays with good leverage at the defensive line," Lowe said. "We use him on the offensive line just as well. He's an athletic, big kid that can run well, gets off blocks, knows technique, and is a very smart kid. You're talking about a 3.9, 4.0 GPA kid, so he's very bright. He understands the game, and obviously seeing his brother and being tutored by his brother he knows how to play the game and has that passion for it and definitely a passion for the defensive line.""I think he's going to get up there and do a great job and try to push for some playing time as a true freshman," Lowe said. "I know that's one of his goals. I know his brother played as a true freshman, so obviously [he] wants to follow in those footsteps. I think if he continues to work hard he's going to be a damn good player for Wake Forest."Lowe added Looney is a carbon copy of his older brother."The one thing that makes him a little bit different he has more of a kid side where Joe was really about business," Lowe said. "He was all about business from day one even though he can put on that nice charm and that nice smile, but it was always business. James really likes to have fun, and that's his great personality that he has. He can have fun and work hard at the same time." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

I like the shape of the continent. Looking forward to seeing this progress, Max!
I was recently commisionned for making a map for a fantasy tales book project and I figured I'd share the steps of this work. It's a standard A4 size (3508x2480px) showing a regional area: The Green Havens.
here we go.
First step: land mass and border first step (some little issues with it but nothing's wrong as it's WIP, this will be cleaned on next steps). Sounds unusual to start with the border but I wanted it done at first to set the ambience...Currently working on coloring/texturing it. Update very soon!

I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars
Thanks guys. I can't say much since the book is still in project but it will be a french book (A4 size) with fantasy tales (more than novels). Some illustrators are currently working on drawings and a few maps too. Each tale will feature either some drawings or a map. Hope it will come to the end
You're off to a good start.
Thanks, yea time to serious business now
This should be interesting!
