Trihalomethanes as Initiators and Promoters of Carcinogenesis

Chloroform and other trihalomethanes are contaminants of drinking water that have been demonstrated to be carcinogenic in laboratory animals. Determination of the mechanism of carcinogenicity of chloroform is required so that the animal data can be extrapolated to estimate the human health hazard. The extent of the binding of chloroform to rat liver and kidney DNA was approximately 0.1% the level of binding found for dimethylnitrosamine. Neither chloroform nor bromoform, in contrast to diethylnitrosamine-initiated GGTase-positive foci in either intact or partial hepatectomized rats, promoted with phenobarbital. Tumor-promoting activity of chloroform was indicated by the slight significant increase, compared to untreated controls, in the incidence of GGTase-positive foci in rats initiated with diethylnitrosamine (DENA) followed by the administration of chloroform twice weekly for a total of 15 doses. In this study, rats administered only the DENA or the chloroform did not contain an increased incidence of GGTase-positive foci compared to untreated controls. However, the incidence of foci in the group that received DENA followed by chloroform was not statistically different from that in either the group that received only the DENA or only the chloroform. In conclusion, we were unable to demonstrate tumor-initiating activity for chloroform, and the tumor-promoting activity of chloroform indicated by our results requires further confirmation.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399128018, Hardcover)Kip, Ron, and Gary-three more unlikely roommates you'd be hard put to find. But this is the Big Apple, where anything was possible, and this was the go-go sixties, when instant stardom happened overnight. Three very different guys, each with his own hunger and fantasy, drawn together by their mutual belief that winning is everything. They rise, they fall-in ways that you could never predict, through turns of fate you could never imagine. Their glories, their loves, their anguish and their triumphs-you'll feel like you've lived their lives, and the lives of the people who love them, in the pages of a novel you will simply not be able to put down.

Beijing Jeep: A Case Study of Western Business in China
By Jim Mann
Beijing Jeep: A Case Study of Western Business in China
By Jim Mann
In this updated version of Beijing Jeep, Jim Mann traces the history of the stormy romance between American business and Chinese communism through the experiences of American Motors and its operation in China, Beijing Jeep, a closely watched joint venture often visited by American politicians and Chinese leaders. He explains how some of the world's savviest executives completely misjudged the business climate and recounts how the Chinese, who acquired valuable new technology at virtually no expense to themselves, ultimately outcapitalized the capitalists.

The New Seasons Market deli…is not your average deli. Number one: each store has a lead chef—and they craft each recipe themselves, using the best of what's fresh, local and often organic—like our famous kale and carrot salad, our sumptuous pulled pork sandwich or our salmon cakes made with wild, line-caught salmon. Even better? We change up our menu with the seasons; cause it's better that way.
You'll find freshly made soups, pastas and salads. You can design your favorite sando or salad—or order one of our signature sandwiches. Looking for lunch? Hit up one of our wok bars, burrito bars or ramen bars. Net net: each store has a great selection of gourmet food that tastes like…well, like it was made at home.
And by the way: we'd love to party with you. Yep—we cater. Oregon/Washington menu and Northern California menu.
The love story between Portland, Oregon and Corbett Fish House started in 2002, when Dana and Greg Boyce opened up the original restaurant on SW Corbett…in the old Nature's building, for the win. But the love story between Corbett Fish House and New Seasons Market starts now, in the form of our newest Partner Label creation: an exclusive offering of Corbett's award-winning Crab Pepper Cheese Soup. Yum.
Founder Elias Cairo spent years refining his curing skills in Europe, and lucky for us, he decided to put his training to use here in Portland. The salami, sausage, and charcuterie that OP produces are incomparable, and with one taste, you just might be hooked.

Many people only rent cars about twice a year, once during a summer vacation and once during the Christmas holidays. That leaves a lot of unsuspecting motorists open to common rip-off fees that the car-rental agencies like to push.
Here are some simple ways to make sure you get cheap car rentals
Before you take your trip, be sure to find out if your auto insurer covers you for temporary use of a rental car. Most insurers will cover you for 13 days, 14 days, or 30 days of a car rental.
That should always be your first line of defense against the most common rip-off called collision damage waiver (CDW).
When you're at the rental counter, you will probably be warned about the consequences of not accepting the CDW, also known by the codes LDW or PDW. Certain credit cards will provide this coverage and allow you to decline the CDW as an add-on. Check with your individual credit card issuer for further details.
These junk fees can raise the cost of your rental by $25 a day or even more. So you've got to pay attention to this stuff!
Personal effects coverage may also be offered at the rental counter. This covers you in the event something is stolen from your vehicle. Again, you can forget about it. Your credit card may cover you.
If you're looking for the best card to use when renting a car, check with CardHub.com's 2014 Credit Card Auto Rental Insurance Report. They've named American Express as having the best rental car insurance policy among the major issuers.
Meanwhile, there's a newer product in the market from a major insurer called InsureMyRentalCar.com. Wiht InsureMyRentalCar.com, you pay a flat rate for coverage if you want to buy CDL and other insurances, but it's sold at a much cheaper rate than you'd be charged at the car rental counter.
InsureMyRentalClar will charge $30 for the whole rental (versus $25 or more a day), and if you rent cars frequently you can sign up for a year of coverage for $100.
Should you go for the gas offer and the roadside assistance?
On the question of gasoline, you'll very often be asked if you want to prepay for a tank of fuel. Always decline to prepay, and always fill up the car yourself before you turn it back in. If you choose to prepay, you may be charged 2 or 3 times more in service charges than the going rate of gasoline.
Beware that some insurers are now using new technology to fee you to death over gasoline.
In addition, some rental companies are now pushing a daily roadside assistance fee of approximately $5 each day. If the vehicle breaks down on the road, many companies won't help you unless you purchase this coverage. However, if you have a car for 10 days or longer, you'd probably be better off with a simple AAA membership that will cover you in your regular vehicle for the entire year.
The latest wrinkle in the gotcha fees area is that now there's a class action lawsuit alleging some Dollar Rent A Car agents at select locations actually forged signatures after people declined add-on coverage! So they'd run the charges you didn't agree to and, if later questioned, they'd produce a forged document to make it look like you agreed to the charges in the first place!
You've got to be careful out there. It's easy for cheap car rentals to become expensive if you don't watch the add-on fees.
Should you rent a car or drive your own on vacation?
More than 80% of people that will travel over summer will do so by car, not by plane. So what's the right way to do that?
If you're talking about the typical 1-week summer road trip with substantial miles, it almost always makes more sense to rent a car than to drive your own.
That's because the miles you put on a rental car are cheaper than your own car. According to AAA estimates, it costs 59 cents per mile to operate a car. Of that 59 cents, you're only paying around 13 cents in gas. The other 46 cents goes for expenses like insurance, maintenance, and depreciation.
Use your smartphone to document car rental damage
For the longest time, whenever I've picked up a rental car, I've meticulously noted any damage to the vehicle that I could see. But it can still be your word versus that of the rental company in the event of a dispute about damage.
Then I read Ed Perkins of SmarterTravel.com and one of his prior columns on the subject. He has a new wrinkle that I've never thought of: Use your cell phone camera to document any damage before you leave the car rental lot. Duh, why didn't I think of that?
Simply use your built-in camera on your phone to make a visual document of the car as you do a walk around the vehicle looking for damage. This should be done in addition to -- not in lieu of -- having the damage noted by hand before you take off. It's just another way to protect yourself.

Disposable Lunch Facts - Items Carried in Work and School Lunches
In 2009, the United States generated 13 million tons of plastics waste from containers and packaging, and 7 million tons of nondurable plastic waste (for example plates and cups). The combined total of nondurable disposables exceeded the 11 million tons of plastic durable goods, such as appliances [EPA]. Only 7 percent was recovered for recycling.
Reusables vs. Disposables - A Summary of Facts and Solutions
The solution is
a plastic bag ban. This is an emotional response which fails to strike at the heart of the issue; instead of a market-based solution, a ban shifts production to paper bags and compostable bags, both of which have heavy environmental consequences.
Use-and-Toss Plastic Bottle Facts
2,480,000 tons of plastic bottles and jars were thrown away in one year (2008).
Tap water is cleaner, cheaper and healthier than store-bought water.
60 billion single-use drink containers were purchased in 2006, and 3 out of 4 were thrown out directly after use.
Plastic bottles are among the most prevalent source of pollution found on our beaches.
Plastic trash absorbs pre-existing organic pollutants like BPA and PCBs.
Facts about the Impact of Household Waste on the Environment
Many traditional household cleaning products are environmentally-harmful or toxic to humans.
3,460,000 tons of tissues and paper towels wound up in landfills in 2008.

Learn About Global Efforts to Reduce Waste from Disposable Products
We first started tracking the plastic bag issue in 2002, reporting on Ireland's PlasTax and various other bag bans and taxes worldwide. While most of the efforts we covered were government-led, there were also significant grassroots movements building to control the bag beast we've created over the past 25 years. Here's a look back at our coverage of this issue over the years, a snapshot of the formation of the early years of the movement from 2003-2007.

Once again, as autumn peeks around the corner, new releases from dozens of noteworthy Washington boutique wineries come flooding into the...
Once again, as autumn peeks around the corner, new releases from dozens of noteworthy Washington boutique wineries come flooding into the marketplace.
I will profile as many as possible in these pages, but be forewarned: There isn't enough room for all of them, and many are so small that the wines come and go in an instant. Your wine seller — assuming he or she carries a good stock of Washington wines — is always the person to keep in touch with regarding the latest wines from any of your favorites. It is always exciting to see new wineries, whose first vintage or two may have made a very favorable impression, follow up consistently with wines just as good, perhaps even a bit better. If you have ever watched a young forest grow, you know that in the beginning there are many trees packed together of equal height and girth.
Over time, they separate; a few stand taller than the rest, a few wither and die, most get by in the shadow of the leaders.
Young wineries are much the same. In the past five years, roughly 200 new wineries have appeared in Washington state. At first, each is unfamiliar in a sea of labels. As the vintages pass, the best of them succeed by virtue of exceptional talent, energy and persistence — the keys to steady, incremental improvement. They lock in excellent vineyard contracts, upgrade equipment, move from temporary to permanent quarters and build their technical knowledge as they experiment with the almost-infinite variables of winemaking.
Here are three that I believe will be industry leaders in the decades ahead. One almost qualifies as a veteran, another is right on his tail, and the last is a promising rookie.
Mark Ryan Winery
Mark Ryan continues to go from strength to strength. Comfortably ensconced in new, more expansive quarters, the winery's latest releases include a pair of white wines, a fine everyday red, a syrah and (soon) its hallmark Bordeaux blends, Long Haul and Dead Horse.
Mark Ryan 2005 Chardonnay; $35. Grape sources are Conner-Lee and Stillwater Creek, and as befits them, the wine was given first-class treatment: French oak, native yeasts, lees stirring, etc. The results are impressively rich and creamy, packed with tropical fruit, mango, pineapple, apricot — whatever you call it, it's yummy stuff.
Mark Ryan 2005 Viognier; $25. This wine goes right to the top of the heap to stand with the best Washington viogniers. The fruit is from Ciel du Cheval on Red Mountain, and winemaker Mark McNeilly has framed it in his own distinctive style. Big but not heavy, lush and textural, it's slathered in flavors of pear and caramel, with a lightly honeyed finish. Just 100 cases were produced.
Mark Ryan 2004 "The Dissident" Red; $25. A tremendous value, this blend of cabernet, merlot and syrah is named for a Pearl Jam song and matches that band's vigor and raw energy. Thick tannins and scrapey acids suggest why these grapes may have been cut from the final blends for the other wines, but they show plenty of firm, ripe fruit and tarry complexity.
Mark Ryan 2004 "Wild Eyed" Syrah; $35 . Red Mountain fruit (from Ciel, Hedges and Kiona) creates this delicious syrah, laced with powerful flavors of coffee liqueur and chocolate. Satiny and citrusy, it maintains an elegant precision for a wine that offers such richness.
Mark Ryan 2004 "Long Haul" Red; $39. Also from Ciel du Cheval, this Pomerol-styled red was tasted a few weeks ahead of its planned November release. The black cherry fruit, with a dark mineral and graphite undercurrent, rides on a river of acid into the silky finish of coffee and buttery chocolate. Beautifully structured and — there's no better word for it — hedonistic.
Mark Ryan 2004 "Dead Horse" Red; $42. This wine somewhat inverts the Long Haul, with cabernet dominant rather than merlot. It is the most compact, vertical and indecipherable of the Mark Ryan wines, and the most potentially expressive of the magnificent Ciel du Cheval fruit. Black cherry, licorice, smoke and graphite add layers of darkness — a veritable Joseph Conrad wine — and it will require more age to reveal all of its secrets. Also slated for November release.
Gorman Winery
Chris Gorman, who has been working closely with Mark McNeilly during Gorman's first few vintages, has clearly moved into new territory, expanding on what began as an excellent rendition of the Mark Ryan style.
The newest Gorman releases are a big step forward, and Gorman's self-proclaimed goal — "the pursuit of texture" — has largely been realized.
These are lavishly endowed wines; big, but never awkward or unbalanced. They are somewhat reminiscent of Leonetti in that winery's formative years; wines so flat-out delicious you stopped analyzing them and just reached for the bottle to pour yourself another glass.
Production has almost tripled from last year's 450 cases, mostly due to the expansion of the red blend called Zachary's Ladder. All four of Gorman's wines, in my opinion, are must-haves for anyone who loves Washington reds.
Gorman Winery 2004 "Zachary's Ladder" Red; $25. No Zachary's Ladder was made in 2003, but there are 650 cases of this gorgeous 2004. Thick, smoky and exotic, it's a big and creamy wine with plenty of acid, plenty of spicy red fruit, and the friendly mocha flavors of new oak. Vineyard sources include Boushey, Alder Creek and Wahluke Slope.
Gorman Winery 2004 "The Pixie" Syrah; $30. From Red Mountain fruit, this tannic, earthy syrah blends its tart black cherry and raspberry fruit with a wash of ash, graphite and coffee grounds. Young as it is, you can already sniff out the roasted meats and herbs to come. Just 130 cases were made.
Gorman Winery 2004 "The Bully" Red; $35. "I love the oh-fours," says Gorman, "it was a pure year." He captures that purity perfectly in this full-bodied cabernet sauvignon, a beautifully structured, he-man style that is still balanced and well-defined. Flavors of berries, cherries, licorice and baking spices lead through a luxurious, long, smooth, silky finish. Just 288 cases were made; November 1st release.
Gorman Winery 2004 "The Evil Twin" Red; $50. Late-picked Red Mountain syrah and cabernet sauvignon are here combined into an exceptionally ripe, round and rich red wine. The tannins are ripe and smooth, the fruit tilts slightly into the pruney side, and the finish coats the tongue with chalk, tannin and pencil lead. Just 95 cases were produced; October 1st release.
Sparkman Cellars
Christian Sparkman is the personable manager of the Waterfront Seafood Grill at Seattle's Pier 70. Through his ongoing series of winemaker dinners, he has fine-tuned his palate and made the contacts necessary to obtain the best possible grapes for his new winery.
"I'm in a position to call guys up who know what the hell they're doing," Sparkman explains in his beguiling Southern drawl. "They have been great to me."
Mark McNeilly has made the first couple of vintages for Sparkman Cellars, with predictably excellent results. Total production is less than 400 cases, so these wines will be difficult to find. But if you act quickly and give Sparkman a call, you'll be able to track them down.
Sparkman Cellars 2005 "Lumière" Chardonnay; $35 . Reminiscent of the Mark Ryan chardonnay, this leesy, textural offering mixes ripe pineapple and lemony fruit. Firm and forward.
Sparkman Cellars 2004 "Stella Mae" Syrah; $40. Spicy, brawny and a bit wild, this pure syrah from Red Mountain fruit offers hints of fresh herb in the nose along with substantial flavors of wild berries and red currant.
Sparkman Cellars 2004 "Ruby Leigh" Red; $40. A Bordeaux blend, firm and spicy, with lovely tart cranberry and pie cherry fruit and a chocolaty finish. Full-bodied and crisply defined.

Posted on 01/06/2012 1:04:54 PM PST by ColdOne
A new report in Current Biology highlights that some dogs have the skills of a 6-month-old baby, USA Today reported.
The studys results support the notion that dogs are sensitive to the cues of signaling humans communicative intent in a way that is analogous to preverbal human infants, said Jozsef Topel, the studys author and an associate professor in the Comparative Behavior Research Group at the Institute for Psychological Researches, Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest.
In the study, 16 dogs watched videos of actresses turning toward a plastic pot.
During the first experiment, one actress stared directly into the dogs eyes and said in a high-pitched voice, Hi, dog.
In a second experiment, the actress said, Hi, dog, in a low-pitched voice, but did not make direct eye contact.

I'd go as far as saying that some breeds have as much intelligence as a 2-yr old child.
I'd go as far as saying that some breeds have as much intelligence as a 2-yr old child.
doggie ping
And some of them are just as cute.
There was a study years ago that determined German Shepherds were as smart as 12 year olds. Of course, there are smart 12 year olds and dumb 12 year olds just like there are smart and dumb dogs. Our current crop are on the lower end of the scale. How I miss my old husky who was smarter than most people of any age.
I have found I can train a six month old dog but it takes about 18 years to half train a human baby. My conclusion is that dogs are easier to train than humans. My hypothesis (which has yet to be tested rigorously) is that is because dogs are smarter than humans.
Studies either prove what common sense tells us, or it is a lie - Dennis Prager.
I'd be willing to say my dogs have more intelligence than my Congresswomen and Senators!
We will tell our Maltese-yorkie-poo to go get the ball, and she will run into another room and locate it and bring it back.
That's intelligence beyond even six months.
Then the two inherited Chihuahuas from my wife's family aren't intelligent enough to let us know they have to use the restroom. So, it depends on the breed.
I've got two dogs.
They're both smarter than most democrats.
I've got two dogs.
They're both smarter than most democrats.
And, they've never lied.
Some breeds are more trainable than others.
It also depends on what you want the dog to do. Consider how the TV dog wisperer can get dogs to things the owners never could. Understanding dog psychology and communication has a great deal with how a dog will respond.
Trying to compare human and animal intelligence is problematic anyway.
I had a lab mix that not only understood the meaning of certain words, e.g. go out, but rapidly learned the meaning of spelled words, e.g. g-o o-u-t.
I have a Jack and she is one smart dog. learns fast and knows a lot of words.
I tested out signallying to Ruby to fetch by just using my eyes. I was surprised by the results. I can use my eyes to suggest something from her as well as using hand gestures or commands.
No, they do not, it is in fact quite a bit higher, although all dogs are not created equal, same as man.
I am quite certain that some dogs have some form of ESP, and further more, I will go out on a limb and say that my dog is quite a bit smarter than some adults I know, certainly smarter than some frickin democrat green tard.
Yeah I've loved the breed since the first time I got one. You can see the wheels turning as they work through problems.
Without a doubt. My dogs actually have a list of known words as long as my arm that must be spelled in front of them! The people that did this study need to find some smarter dogs. Sheesh ... 6 months?
My Jack Russel Corgi mix is no Einstein. She's got a strong herding instinct and a blank stare.
Visual clues are a big part of how dogs communicate anyway.
Absolutely correct. We have 2 new dogs that were shelter rescues, so they came to us with some habits that were not that great. My husband tried his way to teach, with zero results, and then we sat down and talked about how the dogs are seeing things and gaging his directives. As soon as my husband understood how the puppies were using the info he was projecting, they improved drastically in response to his words.
Lol :D
I've got a German Shepard, lab, chow mix (but it's about 95% shepard in appearance), and I am utterly stunned by the intelligence of this dog.
It can clearly understand full sentences, questions, it counts with barks, and it attemps to speak. It's the funniest thing. He rolls his tounge and make noises that I have never heard another dog make while looking me directly in the eye. He does this asking for his begging strips. If I had to guess what he was actually trying to say, it sound like, "I want".
I don't know what it says about me but I spend two thirds of the day trying to outsmart my beagle.
'He urged pet owners to keep up with their baby-talk voice, as it is likely to get the dogs attention.'
I disagree with this. And am not seeing the point yet of the research (sorry, I myself am in a fog right now, maybe I'm pretty stupid now).
Even Cesar Millan would disagree - that nonsense of high-pitched baby talk works up dogs and agitates them. It may be OK to "get their attention", but largely all it does is excite dogs who are already unstable. It is excitable. Low tones are better and are calming.
I've seen this so much with so many dogs, mine and others' at the vets' and so on. I want to scream at vet techs (invariably girls) who keep doing that screechy talk; all you're doing is further exciting a frightened dog who doesn't need more exciting.
Someone dumped a tiny puppy on my doorstep, and now I guess him to be 8 months old, no longer a tiny puppy, but a huge, Malamute mix with bright blue eyes. He knows how to sit, come, don't, shake, rollover, open doors, pick up trash, and put it in the garbage. He likes to charge into the bedroom in the morning, and flop around on top of me until I give him a good petting. Most of all, he tries very hard to be part of the family, with kids, my wife, my two old, arthritic dogs, and the two cats. He is very playful, but gentle. He is great with commands once he knows them, but not as quick as most dogs when it comes to looks and hand motions, and he likes things on his terms. It makes me wonder if he has a little wolf in him. Then again, I'm used to boxers who get very attached to their people.
I have a German Shepard mix that is amazingly intelligent and seems to be able to follow simple conversations. My other dog a Boxer, Beagle mix is as dumb as a rock. The smart one is a one or two takes on a command and it learns it, the dumb one needs to go over and over a command. Like people dogs vary but some of them are vastly smarter then what is stated in the article. My point being that researchers don't usually factor in for the variability of living things.
I agree. I started training dogs in the 1980s (just mentioning that to say I've been training a long time and watched different methods come and go). The thing about dogs is they are very intelligent compared to many animals, and some are quite good at certain types of problem solving. In other ways of course they will never be able to do things even some of the less intelligent humans (with average intelligence that is) can do. But if you know how to motivate a dog to learn behaviors they are amazing.
I started a project this year after a long time of not doing any formal training with my dogs. I am teaching my current dog a trick (really a behavior) a week for 2012. She's a retired show dog and she knows only really basic things so she's almost a blank slate. So far so good, she's learned 2 new things. Most importantly she understands that she gets a treat when she can figure out what I want. She's not overly smart (I would say average) but like most goldens she's a pleaser so she should be easy. I would rather not train an extremely intelligent dog because they often spend more time figuring out how to get around you than figuring out how to please you. :)
If the 2-yr old eats his own poop.
I always wished I could get into my dogs' heads for just a moment and see exactly how they think. Since they don't think in words like we do. I assume their thoughts are in pictures, but who knows. It would be interesting.
We had a dog that I swear was trying to speak. He'd sit down in front of me and go "Ao-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa. Aoo wow-whoa-whoa..." And my folks for a while had some weird Russian breed of hunting dog that was so smart, they had to spell in front of him. He knew "toys" "ice cream" "go to town," and several other words.
I'll put mine up against some of my teenage son's friends even. I can't tell you how many times that dog has had its head twisted to the side staring at them when they do something stupid and get hurt.
One I had would run under the bed when I THOUGHT, "It's time for Schnitzel's bath." I didn't say a word...and it happened several times.
I had Democrat neighbors who had a dog that voted!
I love Ruby~
My dog knows a lot of words, too. But so does my cat. Each knows about 15.
Dogs that have smarter owners tend to learn more from their owners. Hence, my theory is a dumb dog is often a result of a dumb human. However, there are some dogs that just will not learn.
I dont know what it says about me but I spend two thirds of the day trying to outsmart my beagle.
And not succeeding, I guess. They are way more stubborn than you are. Plus they know regardless, you will feed them.
They win. Every time.
"If the 2-yr old eats his own poop."
Anything that eats its own poop can't be too smart. ;-)
But, relatively speaking, my Australian Shepherds are very smart, and very much like toddlers. I could tell many stories, but I'll limit myself to just one story now. As I was relaxing, Buddy walked up and gave me "the stare" that he wanted to go outside. I said, "Go tell Junior". Darned if Buddy didn't trot off to my son's room and go "woof!" to be let out! I had never spoken that sentence before, but Buddy understood anyway. Scary smart for an animal.
Yep, that is exactly the type of thing grainger does. he is clearly trying to use his moouth and tongue to make sounds other than the standard bark, and when he does it he concentrates so hard, looks me right in the eyes to the point that his eyes seem to be popping out slightly. It's just adorable.
He also seems to understand phrases or sentences, at least much more than standard one word commands. I also have to spell the word w-a-l-k or he will go nuts until I walk him.
I tell you, I love dogs so much, I can't imagine my life without dogs, this one as well as some other ones I've had the good fortune of knowing.
Yeah, I don't think they factor in individual dogs either. I'm convinced that certian breed are smarter than others, and it seems that mutts are generally very smart.
I think my next dog is going to have to have some shepard in it too.
The ultimate smart breed mixture would be GSD crossed with a border collie.
You're correct. Some things dogs do just can't be explained by anything other than intelligence. Its babies who are stupid. My two mastiffs can fix my computer.
We have a McNabb that we found in the desert one day. Was about a year old, still had both sets of teeth in its mouth, was malnourished, had worms, and was a quite a wreck. It had spent its puppy months alone in the cold and snow of winter. She walked right into the camp, jumped in a camp chair, and just was happy to be somewhere safe and freindly. She was brought home, brought back to health. At first, she was deathly afraid of doorways, and would not go anywhere near stairs. Now she is the freindliest, most well behaved, and intelligent dog I have seen in a while. After her health came back she got as playful as a puppy, but also rules the roost and allows nobody to mess with her family or dog friends. She is a joy to take camping as she remembers full well what it is like to be alone, so she will range around, but never out of ear shot, and will return immediately if called. Her and her best buddy black lab, are also very good with running with the truck up in the mountains, where you turn them loose, while driving up in the hills....they never cross near the front of the vehicle, and will instantly respond to commands to take a different two track if they take the wrong fork. They also never get out of eyeshot. Nothing more joyous than watching dogs run for unrestrained mile after mile.
This is as opposed to my other favorite dogs...Huskies, who are also incredibly intelligent, but tend to have a mind of their own, and very selective hearing (though female huskies are infinitely more manageable than males). Take them camping, and they tend to vanish for many many hours if you take your eye off of them even for a second. Although I do miss our old male husky (who quite literally ran across the entire state of Nevada through his lifetime). That little bastard loved to run with coyotes, and harass wild horses. He once slipped away, when our attention dropped for just a second, and returned 14 hours later (and was spotted 25 miles away earlier in the day). He was notorious for slipping away the instant he saw anybody packing gear up to go home. Though one time my friend had just gotten a female rescue husky from a breeder who had obviously been abused, and never been outside. The female was high strung, and freaked out at the smallest thing, and did not like human contact much...we were driving from phoenix to reno, and stopped to camp near Rachel (area 51), packing up the next morning, the male did his MO (we forgot to chain him to the bumper first), and the female followed him. We were unable to locate them, but eventually they returned a few hours later(having made us lose a whole day)...annoying at the time, I will say one thing unequivocably, the female who left was not the same dog that returned. It was the first day of her life, probably the best day of her life, and her personality was 100% changed, and she became a sweet, confident dog. She was a joy to take camping, as being a female, did not have the wanderlust that males seem to have, you still had to keep an eye on her, of course, but she wasn't just going to vanish the second your eyes were averted, then pretend not to hear you if she crossed some magic 50 yard distance away. I do miss the male though, though a pain in the ass at times, that dog had the best life a dog could have without living on a ranch.

They Live (1988)
John Carpenter's "They Live" has an awesome plot. However, casting wrestler Roddy Piper as the lead role was a slight mistake. The movie's ideas and story are awesome, but Roddy Piper…

Bryan Sutton Secret for succesfull Flatpicking (Size: 4.12 GB)
This extraordinary DVD lesson is filled with spectacular picking, detailed instruction and invaluable advice for aspiring bluegrass guitarists at all levels. Bryan Sutton thoughtfully and methodically lays out his tricks of the trade to help you play any tune and improve your flatpicking speed, power, timing and musicianship. Bryan addresses many of the problems that he sees in aspiring pickers, and passes along tips on how to keep your picking hand and arm tension-free and your fretting hand supple and quick. He provides drills and exercises, teaching an arsenal of licks, bends, double stops, slides and other devices that will help you build powerful and memorable solos. In a special section on rhythm playing, Bryan plays backup to Cody Kilby's lead solos and shows how, by varying his chords and bass runs, he builds a groove and enhances the tune. He breaks down, in detail, famous bluegrass jam session tunes - Daley's Reel, Texas Gales, Wild Bill Jones and Beaumont Rag - each of which shows a different aspect of the flatpick experience. "Once your technique and fundamentals are down you can just play and let the ideas take over." - Bryan

"I Feel Like a Tin of Peas" Top 5 Page for this destination Bingen am Rhein by antistar
Bingen am Rhein Travel Guide: 118 reviews and 362 photos
I was pretty disappointed by Bingen. It felt more like a tourist processing plant than a real town. It was ugly, packed with tourists and hotels, and had a noisy train line cutting straight through the center of the town. The train was particularly horrible, passing through every 15 minutes or so, and drowning out all conversation at the cafes along the Rhein due to its close proximity. Tourists herded themselves like cattle from one uninspiring sight to another, although most seemed to be queuing up to leave on one of the many Rhein boats, which was exactly the reason I was there for.
Bingen is a small town, almost a village, on the banks of the Rhein, at the point where joins with the Nahe. It is directly opposite the much prettier, although still as touristy, Rüdesheim. There are a few sights of interest scattered about, and an absolute abundance of hotels, cafes and restaurants, all customised for the lowest common denominator of the mass tourist trade. I shouldn't be too scornful, as I was certainly one of those tourist masses herding myself onto the boats up the river Rhein.

Wow! Must have changed since I was a kid..we used to have relatives there and visited several times. I thought it was a nice town
I was disappointed by Bingen, too, but more for business reasons. My presentation there went really well, but they didn't buy after all. So I may be prejudiced, but I agree that it's not a very attractive town. (Neither is Rüdesheim by the way.)
Bingen is indeed a transit point. Next visit, go upstream from there along the Nahe to Bad Kreuznach or even better Bad Munster and walk atop the Rotenfels.
aw, i loved bingen. maybe it was just the company i was keeping there, though . . . nice page, mister!
Good infos and lovely pics about the Rhine-valley !
Why you feel disappointed? You saw so wonderful views!! (villages and fortifications in your travelogues).

Skip to comments.John McCain to Bush apologists: Stop lying about Bin Laden and torture.
Posted on 05/13/2011 6:59:54 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
This is getting really good. As noted below, John McCain in an Op ed this morning skewered the claim that the killing of Bin Laden vindicates torture. But just now, on the Senate floor, he uncorked a new broadside that is quite remarkable, taking direct aim at Bush apologists who are reviving this debate in order to claim Bin Ladens death as part of the Bush legacy.
McCain amplified his case, and called on former Bush attorney general Michael Mukasey whose recent op ed claiming torture led to Bin Laden has been widely cited by the right to retract his claims. McCains speech is worth quoting at length:
With so much misinformation being fed into such an essential public debate as this one, I asked the Director of Central Intelligence, Leon Panetta, for the facts. And I received the following information:
The trail to bin Laden did not begin with a disclosure from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was waterboarded 183 times. We did not first learn from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed the real name of bin Ladens courier, or his alias, Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti the man who ultimately enabled us to find bin Laden. The first mention of the name Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, as well as a description of him as an important member of Al-Qaeda, came from a detainee held in another country. The United States did not conduct this detainees interrogation, nor did we render him to that country for the purpose of interrogation. We did not learn Abu Ahmeds real name or alias as a result of waterboarding or any enhanced interrogation technique used on a detainee in U.S. custody. None of the three detainees who were waterboarded provided Abu Ahmeds real name, his whereabouts, or an accurate description of his role in Al-Qaeda."
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
For Obama, McCain is the gift that just keeps giving.
Juan will probably be on at least half the Sunday morning shows this weekend. They just love it when he stabs his own party in the back.
We never tortured anyone.
I despise McCain. He's always been pathologically jealous of Bush. I don't know if it started when Bush beat him for the nomination in 2000 or before.
And he's an inconsistent nutcase.
Too late McCain/MSM. The Obama administration already admitted that enhanced interrogation led to Bin Laden. The MSM couldn't find a conservative to spout their revisionist history, so they use McCain instead.
Imagine, this moron could be President. What the hell was the Republican Party thinking of? No wonder the Tea Party emerged.
Why, oh why,
did Arizonans send this man back to the Senate?
The word RINO is very over used and abused on this forum and others, but THIS is what a true RINO is. A true RINO is one who throws the party and the cause and the philosophy under the bus as a way to promote himself.
That's exactly what McCain is doing here. He is being the quintessential RINO because he knows his mainstream media buddies will eat it up and it will diminish credit to Bush, Cheney and Rummy - three folks he is jealous of and despises.
I'm sorry. I don't buy McCain as a hero. I just don't see any evidence today that heroism was ever in this man. Maybe it was, but if it was, it has all leached out .
The day John McCain passes on, I will celebrate with the same enthusiasm reserved for the passing of Ted Kennedy.
Proof that retired people will send anyone back to office as long as they are promised SS and Medicare forever, no matter who takes it up the -— for the cost.
Panetta's story, this version, is stating that the information did not come from a source in US custody.
Panettas is careful not to say that the source held in another country on the US's behalf was tortured for the information.

Man-churian candy-date
"The trail to bin Laden did not begin with a disclosure from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed"
Does not refute anything. Ok, it didn't 'begin' with Khalid...but could they have found Bin Laden without Khalid?
And the other part is rich - we didn't torture the guy, we just sent him to a foreign prison...and he decided to talk. I have a sneaky suspicion that many people in these foreign prisons long for the easy-going days of Gitmo, and would gladly do a few waterboarding sessions, over the treatment they are getting.
And this is where McCain's logic is flawed. I know he was beat and pain was inflicted on him in prison...waterboarding is not the same. There has to be a bright line between what is a useful technique and what is torture...somewhere as you progress from yelling, dark rooms, slapping, punching, water-boarding, and pulling out finger nails. McCain draws the line at waterboarding. I draw it at pulling finger nails (maybe).
We need to honor McCain's sacrifice in the torture prisons of N. Vietnam but the fact is he cannot be trusted to be objective about the subject because of it.
Why doesn't this old fool retire already.
Speaking of torture, if you haven't seen the movie "Unthinkable" with Samuel L. Jackson (probably his best performance since
Snakes on a plane Pulp Fiction), check it out.
McCain is in the running to be Obama's veep.
There has always been something psychological going on with McCain. In his acceptance speech he said that, before his POW experience, he used to do things just to draw attention to himself (I've linked that before). And he implied that he put those bad habits behind.
He didn't. I agree he is jealous, or covetous of Bush and others. That's part of what causes him to backstab, and he also still does things to draw attention to himself. He (and his lovely daughter) well understand that the way to stay in front of the TV cameras is to criticize and undercut Republicans and especially conservatives.
I think I know what we've got here.
John McCain has Legacy Envy.
Because Maricopa County is full of old senile retirees....that's why!
McCain is in the same worthless politician as ron paul.
The only fools who think he is relavent are useful idiots and the MSM.
Panetta is pulling a Clinton = "It depends on what your definition of 'is' is."
No one is saying enhanced interrogation got the "name" of the couriers. What they got was the fact that OBL used couriers. It was reported that Kalid Sheik Muhammed only gave up that OSL used couriers. He didn't know their names. Later the CIA found out the nickname of the courier. Then later still they found out the full name, and that led to the safe house.
So Panetta is parsing words so the libs don't have to admit that waterboarding led to the couriers.
McCain has been insane for a long time. Go back to before his nomination in '08. There's a lot of credible history of McCain as not bright, egomaniac, immature and unreliable. Breaking McCain by the Viet Commies would have been complete and he may very well be a real manchurian candidate. McCain would have been a hero if he had not returned from SE Asia but no one should trust McCain, he is an enemy for all of us!
"...came from a detainee held in another country. The United States did not conduct this detainees interrogation, nor did we render him to that country for the purpose of interrogation."
Oh BS!! You didnt intend for him to be tortured, but they certainly could have. What a bunch of weasel words (no offense to actual weasels)!
Sure we did. McCain vs Obama? That was torture.
