Bot flag request Edit
Hi! I'm admin of russian One Piece Wiki. I want to add interwiki links to all existing russian articles. We have over 1000 articles, and I want to use bot for this task. So I'm requesting bot flag for this user: User:Bot-OPru
Also if my bot have bot flag in other languages, I will fix (add nonexistent/delete wrong ones and so on) interwiki links there too. --Valdy (talk) 21:53, January 6, 2014 (UTC)
Template Changes Forum Edit
Hey Levi, you should take a look at this, since it's a little above the knowledge of most of our editors, and it seems we have to change a bunch of templates. Forum:Template Configuration Changes Coming. Your input would really be appreciated. Thanks. JustSomeDude... Talk | 01:23, January 14, 2014 (UTC)
Different Blog Category Name Edit
Sff pointed out to me here that on the Italian wiki, you guys have changed the name of the default "Blog posts" category. How did you do that? Galaxy 9000 12:32, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
Latest Talks Edit
Hey Levi. I recently asked Sff about this but he referred me to you. Seems
{{Latest Talks}} isn't working right on the Community Corner. You can't actually click on the "others" tab for some reason. Works fine on the template page though. Could you take a quick look at that? Thanks. JustSomeDude... Talk | 21:12, February 11, 2014 (UTC)
- OK. Well I believe it's possible to do this in full-CSS (with the :target pseudo-class), but I don't think it works in all modern browsers. (Still better than working nowhere, though.) sff9 22:46, February 11, 2014
Here's what I was thinking about:
 Title 1 Title 2
content 1

content 2

Two caveats: clicking on the "buttons" changes the position of the viewport in the canvas (since they're just links to anchors), and the two content divs are active at the beginning (I'm sure there could be a workaround, but it would probably be rather obfuscated).
So, maybe it won't really be useful, but it sure was fun. sff9 23:33, February 11, 2014
Wiki Teams Edit
Hi are the Wiki Teams still active and If they are can I Join one? --Admiral Sugar (talk) 13:59, February 16, 2014 (UTC)
The wikia is a big site, hence why the editors need to bring incidents to attention. I now when wikias get popular it becomes increasingly harder to run it. When it appears their not doing their job, its just the number of users/edits is too much alone and new admins/bureaucrats are needed. I'm just saying, the editors need to pay attention to who is in charge and get them to sort out run away situations.
You have to go to the wikia staff to ask them to demote someone, can't do that with some SERIOUS evidence. I.e. what happened to me and the original editors when we came here originally resulted in us unbanned and the original creator of the site banned permanently. That sort of level of behaviour, one random whiny editor can't make the wiki staff do anything. Most of the time they just don't get involved with each wikias workings and leave them to self-maintain themselves.
So in other words, over 3/4 of the editors would need to be against them to get them banned. :-/ One-Winged Hawk (talk) 23:42, February 16, 2014 (UTC)
VSTF HelpEdit
Sup Levi, I need your help as VSTF with a user.. A few days ago, User:Luffydumbpoopmonkey joined the wiki, broke all the rules and got banned. But even though he got IP blocked, he made a new account: User:Zorothepoopcutter which also got banned by IP, but today he made a new one named user:Donquioxte Doflamingo and since the name of the third one isn't simmilar, proof that it's the same guy. Please help with your VSTF rights, we're really tired of him. Thanks in advance. Staw-Hat Luffy Talk 12:38, March 26, 2014 (UTC)
Ok man, thanks. Yeah, looks like Nova contacted staff too but I wasn't aware. Staw-Hat Luffy Talk 12:29, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
Leviathan, Can I have a word with you about Turkish wiki? --Zeckopacho (talk) 17:22, May 19, 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. What I wanted to talk about is the current Turkish wiki that is connected with the international one (English) That wiki has 593 pages but is completely "forsaken" and new pages just contain nothing or bad language. Can new page that I created be linked with the international One Piece wiki? The old one is a disgrace and we will build this new one with care. Can you help in anyway about this?--Zeckopacho (talk) 12:08, May 20, 2014 (UTC)
There are many Turkish wikis unfortunately. The biggest one is this: http://tr.onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Ana_sayfa This one is the oldest probably and has most pages but it is abandoned. Every new page contains silly things. I tried to edit and add many pages but I am not an admin there so I can't do much. Mine is this: http://tr.one-piece-turkiye.wikia.com/wiki/One_Piece_T%C3%BCrkiye_Wiki of course it is new and doesn't contain much but at least there won't be anything silly in it. I am really concerned that Turkish One Piece wiki is represented by that site. I want to make things properly.--Zeckopacho (talk) 12:52, May 21, 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your help :) Zeckopacho (talk) 18:33, May 21, 2014 (UTC)
Levaithan, Hi :)
I am finally the admin of the TR OP page and I am happy about it :D But there is an issue I need your help about. I couldn't understand the concept of collapesables and can't aplly them for my templates. Can you make this template collapsable? http://tr.onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/%C5%9Eablon:Kalp_Korsanlar%C4%B1 It would be a huge help. And I can make others better too. Thanks in advance :)--Zeckopacho (talk) 22:49, May 30, 2014 (UTC)
New "Toggle" / "Switch" Issues Edit
Hey Leviathan 89,
We've been having issues with the Toggle and more specifically the Switch functions working in recent days (no one has edited the dependencies and it is affecting multiple wikis that we have been using them on for years - the problem seems to only affect instances where there are more than 2 or 3 images being used. But the entire problem may be more widespread.
Is there anything you could think of that might help fix this or if it might be a Wikia-induced problem?
Thanks, User:~=(iNate)=~
The most affected place I have noticed these issues is on the DragonVale Wiki. Individual Dragon pages have the issue on the 4th instance of the script when you click between Adult, Juvenile, Baby, and Egg. The Egg image does not display but in some cases you can still click where the image should be and be directed to the image file page, as if the image is "invisible" or something.
This issue is far more pronounced on pages using multiple switches or nested switches, we have been successfully implementing more and more complex scripts without any issues over the last couple of years. All of this has only happened recently.
Simple Page - Plant Dragon Complex Page - Colosseum
Thanks, User:~=(iNate)=~
p.s. It seems we have a little less of an issue than originally believed. The image seems to appear for mobile users if they pinch and pull their screen to zoom in and out. And for full browser users they can simply scroll their page and any missing images will appear. Though this is still not how we have become accustomed to the script functioning for the past years it's been in use...
Thanks for the quick reply but it is most certainly not the case.
We have been using the function successfully on DragonVale Wiki for years (as early at January 2012) and this issue only cropped up maybe less than a week ago.
Also the issue occurred on two other wikis that have identical syntax usage and I am certain that none of the 3 were accidentally messed up along the way, especially considering I am the only one who has ever modified the css/js on the other 2 wikis and neither have been touched in over a year.
But it seems this isn't something we can resolve at this time, I'll check out the link you provided.
Thanks again, User:~=(iNate)=~

Turkish Wiki againEdit
Hi Leviathan. Sorry for asking too much questions but I have something else to ask this time. Our wiki has many useless templates that get in our way. Deleting them is easy of course bu we need order and good templates just like this wiki has. Do you know anyone that can help us about that? If we could just have the templates this wiki has, our work would be perfect. Waiting for an answer. Thanks in advance.

Romance Dawn WikiEdit
Hello Leviathan, I was hoping to ask how you managed to have Galaxy9000's Romance Dawn Wiki deleted, even though it's a duplicate wiki and I thought wikia could do nothing about those? I ask because of similar with a duplicate wiki I've been having. -The Forgotten Beast (talk) 21:45, September 17, 2014 (UTC)

Sandy Edit
- is "Sunday" a possible romanization of "サンディ" (Sandi)? No. Sunday is サンデー Sandē.

About Switch Picture ScriptEdit
Hi Leviathan 89,
I have asked permission from Calua if I may copy your Wikia's Template:Switch, Template:Toggle and she allowed me as long as I cited your Wikia. When I copied and tried the template, it didn't work, the pictures couldn't be switched. Am I missing any other scripts?
Thank you for your time. TitanWiseman (talk) 17:08, October 26, 2014 (UTC)
Thank you very much for helping me. I was able to find what was missing when you mentioned about the "dependencies"; Common.js.
I have a question, how do you add an extra switch; the original was only Manga and Anime, but I would like to add a 3rd, Light Novel.
I'm sorry, I don't really know much about scripting. Thank you very much for your time. TitanWiseman (talk) 05:30, October 27, 2014 (UTC)
Thank you very much. TitanWiseman (talk) 05:57, October 28, 2014 (UTC)
I have a questionEdit
How do you put a picture and description on your Wikia's like this? TitanWiseman (talk) 10:18, October 31, 2014 (UTC)
Thank you very much. How can I put a picture for the like this? TitanWiseman (talk) 20:53, October 31, 2014 (UTC)
Also, may I ask about favicons? After I generated my chosen picture, its background became visible again. How can I make my icon's background invisible? TitanWiseman (talk) 21:48, October 31, 2014 (UTC)
RE: PriceEdit
I got 1千万 from the RAW directly, and since 千 is 1000 and 万 is ten thousand 千万 is 10,000,000. The error's probably similar to how people often translate 億 as billion instead of 100,000,000 (ten thousand squared), because Japanese deals with ten thousands instead of thousands. Zodiaque ☆ 11:55, November 13, 2014 (UTC)

A Question Edit
Hey Levi, is it possible for us to possibly semi-protect all images on the wiki? I know IPs can't edit them already, but I'd like to keep non-autoconfirmed users from editing them as well. We've always had problems with noobs uploading images that violate the guidelines, but we've also recently had the problems with Gal vandalizing images (like he did last night). I know wikia's stance on protecting pages in the long-term, but do you think if we had a forum and poll about it here they would let us do that? Thanks. JustSomeDude... Talk | 16:46, November 24, 2014 (UTC)
I mean preventing new users (accounts that aren't autoconfirmed) from uploading new images, and reverting existing images. JustSomeDude... Talk | 16:53, November 24, 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for looking into it. Range blocks won't work on his spam accounts, since he's using proxies for all of them. But maybe the IPs associated with his main accounts (Galaxy9000, Mr. Whatever) could do some good if range blocked. Also, this IP is probably not a proxy, since he used it twice with a month in between edits. JustSomeDude... Talk | 18:05, November 24, 2014 (UTC)
I dunno, I guess I'm too lazy to track down the other IPs he used, since I know a range block won't work. But have you found out anything about my first question, yet? JustSomeDude... Talk | 20:46, November 25, 2014 (UTC)
Do you know how to set up an abuse filter? We could use one to stop him. Talk to me in chat if you can for more of my ideas on this. JustSomeDude... Talk | 22:16, December 6, 2014 (UTC)
There's definitely a pattern, I just don't want to say it outside of a PM, since I know he'll be watching (I'm not paranoid, cuz it's true) If he's gonna try to work around an abuse filter, I want him to at least have to put in a shitload of effort. Is there a better way I can contact you that's not public? Or should we maybe just schedule a time when we can both be in chat? Thanks. JustSomeDude... Talk | 00:52, December 7, 2014 (UTC)As JSD said,there's a pattern,we've come up with "conditions" to restrict his edit(we can tell ya about this on chat only:/)<
Mo' filter, less problems Edit
Hey Levi, is it possible to just set up another abuse filter to disallow everyone from uploading jpg images? We don't allow them at all here, so I don't see why anyone would need to upload one. You don't have to actually make it, I'm just curious if such a thing can be done. Thanks. JustSomeDude... Talk | 17:02, January 2, 2015 (UTC)
Help with infoboxes Edit
Um... Your switch and char box are sort of difficult to write and so I decided to copy and paste them..
They're very good but how do I customise them?
I'm trying to combine
with the information on that page
and that
so it looks like this:
It would be a Jutsu box but there would be 4-6 tabs for each of the jutsu placed under the section of their nature element.
Then like the Manga/Anime thing, there would be a In Action and Menu Pic and Live which is what I was working on here: http://nsoa.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Switch
Menu Pic:
In Action:
The box's input would have this stuff: http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rasengan
Tabs: Leaf Whirlwind | Rasengan | Wind Cutter | Wind Tornado | Air Bullets
Manga/Anime Switch: Menu Pic - In Action - Live
If this is too much, tell me, I've got another idea....

Red thingy on episode pagesEdit
Sup, on some pages, Episode 327 to Episode 335, there's red text on the top of the article saying "Expression error: Missing operand for <=.". There's a lot more episode articles with this problem, such as Episode 384, but I have no idea why do some episodes have it and some episodes don't, and to be honest, I'm too lazy to find the pattern. Anyway, I have no idea how to fix the problem with the red text, do you have any idea on how to fix it?
On another note, while checking out the episode infobox, I noticed the hide/open buttons are missing from the infobox. Maybe it's related to the red text somehow? Anyway, if you are able to fix that problem as well, it'd be fantastic.
Thanks a lot. Jademing Talk 22:49, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
- Hey Levi I've a question: 1 doesnt work but 2 does should we move all of those "NavFrame" to "mw-collapsible"? in the episode-box template or is there a way to get the former working?<
- Thanks for restoring it:)<
Infatti la mia idea era di non mettere le cover (dal punto di vista estetico non sono di nessun interesse) e limitarci ad una frase. Hai ragione quando dici che anch'essa andrebbe aggiornata, infatti io scriverei qualcosa di generico del tipo "in Italia sono quattro (quattro?) volumi indietro rispetto al Giappone". In questo modo la pagina non ha bisogno di aggiornamenti. --Meganoide (talk) 20:11, January 6, 2015 (UTC)
Ma lì li aggiorniamo perchè sono in prima pagina. Questa è una pagina molto meno che minore. Più che "il guadagno" di togliere le immagini penso all'evitare un malinteso mostrando un'immagine che è fuorviante. Se teniamo l'immagine è nostro dovere aggiornarla puntualmente. --Meganoide (talk) 22:00, January 6, 2015 (UTC)
We are not ready for Venus Skin Edit
Hey Levi, as someone here who actually knows stuff about code, could you check out (and continually follow) Forum:Preparing for Venus Skin?

Using Social Networking SitesEdit
Hi there, I made a forum on this wiki having official accounts on social networking sites, and since the Italian One Piece Wiki has a Facebook and Twitter, would it be possible for you to share your opinion on the forum? Much appreciated! Jademing Talk 01:36, February 9, 2015 (UTC)
A few things Edit
Hey Levi, first can you post on Forum:Unreleased Template on Chapter Articles about how we can edit the template?
Second, remember how I asked you awhile ago about making a filter that prevents people from uploading any jpg file type? I think it's time we move forward with that, could you help make that, or is it too much work?
Lastly, I want to help give users more warnings about the Image Guidelines before they add an image. Is there a way we can make sure every little button and option people have to upload a photo sends them to MediaWiki:Uploadtext? I've noticed that on Special:NewFiles the button at the top bypasses the upload text. And I think there are some other ways this happens too. I think we're better off making sure that the upload text is seen for every possible way an image can be uploaded. With this and disallowing jpgs, I think we can cut down on use of the IGR by quite a lot. Thanks. JustSomeDude... Talk | 00:22, February 17, 2015 (UTC)

Status in infobox Edit
Hey, Levi. I have a coding request. Forum:Status in infobox decided that a status section should be added to character infoboxes, and that it should be implemented as follows:
- If the parameter isn't there, the infobox automatically displays Status: Alive
- If it's status = 1, the infobox displays Status: Unknown
- If it's status = 2, the infobox displays Status: Deceased
Can you make it like that? Thanks. Awaikage Talk 17:47, March 25, 2015 (UTC)
Great, thanks! Regarding the numbers, that was JSD's suggestion. It's so that people are less likely to randomly put "deceased" on characters whose fates are unknown. Awaikage Talk 14:25, March 26, 2015 (UTC)
Hey Levi, so some other users and I want to have the Volume pages in each arc navitable, for example Volumes 70-77 would be linked in the Dressrosa Arc navitable. We think it would be best if this section went between the Manga Chapters and Anime episodes section. However, we're not sure how to edit the NaviTable template to do this, so could you help? Thanks. Kaido | Remnants of My Broken Sig 16:59, June 12, 2015 (UTC)
Yep, looks good. A minor request, though: Could you make it so that the numbers that appear for chapters/volumes/episodes are aligned to center? Maybe I'm just being OCD but something feels a little "off" when the few volumes in the arc are pushed to the left. Kaido | Remnants of My Broken Sig 18:43, June 12, 2015 (UTC)
Aight, never mind then Kaido | Remnants of My Broken Sig 20:18, June 12, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Bot Troubles Edit
Ah! Thanks! I was going to ask one of the admins about this later, but I kind of totally forgot (;^_^)
I tried adding to my queue, renaming and updating, and renaming (all 3 options), but for some reason, it just wouldn't let me rename [[:File:SBS Vol 57 Chap 557 header.png|this image]]. It let me rename all other images in the SBS Images Category so far, so I'm not sure what happened, but when I added all the SBS Volume 57 images to my queue to rename, it only let me rename the first 3 and the rest showed as error. I believe the first or second try, I got the term "hookaborted", and the third time (I actually took a screenshot) I got "Pagemove throttle".

Hey Levi, can you take a look at Forum:Changing to Portable Infoboxes? It sounds like an important change, and someone with your code knowledge and wider sense of the wikia community would be fantastic to have involved. Thanks! JustSomeDude... Talk | 13:58, August 21, 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for posting so quickly, Levi! I think since I know nothing of code, I'm gonna try to help get assistance from foreign language OP wikis and get their smartest code people. Many of us use the same templates, and each wiki only tends to have a few editors that can handle code issues, and if we combine our efforts we'll be better off. First off, do you know of anyone else on the Italian Wiki that could give a hand? Second, Do you know of any other large OP or anime/manga communities that would have similar issues switching over? Thanks. JustSomeDude... Talk | 14:31, August 21, 2015 (UTC)
Link to redirect page? Edit
Stupid question, but how do you link text to redirect pages themselves? So for instance if I wanted to link "Luffy", but I didn't want the link to take me to the Monkey D. Luffy page, but rather to the "Luffy" redirect page itself? All I can think of is linking to the redirect page as an external link like so: Luffy - but I feel like there has to be a simpler way. JapaneseOPfan :: Talk 03:40, August 26, 2015 (UTC)
Ah, okay. Thanks JapaneseOPfan :: Talk 16:27, August 26, 2015 (UTC)
Another question Edit
Is there a way to get rid of that space between the SBS volumes navibox and volumes navibox? (There's no space when the volume navibox comes first like here, but somehow there is one when it's the other way around.) JapaneseOPfan :: Talk 16:37, August 26, 2015 (UTC)

Template:Dressrosa Arc Edit
Not sure if it's a problem with the Dressrosa Arc template itself, the NaviTable template, or just a lag, but somehow chapter 799 isn't showing up on the Dressrosa Arc navitable. I'm hearing that other wikis are having the same exact problem right now. Could you try fixing it? JapaneseOPfan :: Talk 21:09, September 3, 2015 (UTC)

Color Scheme ProblemEdit
Leviathan, i want to ask you something about implementing Color Scheme. Currently, i am editing pages which in http://tr.onepiece.wikia.com/ . To use color scheme, i added a same import line that in english MediaWiki:Common.css to turkish MediaWiki:Common.css , but colorscheme is not working. Then, i started a new fake wikia for trying colorscheme but it did work on fake site. So, what should i do about this situation? Can you look at what is going wrong with http://tr.onepiece.wikia.com/ site? Ridtheone (talk) 21:18, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
No, it is not working. It works with backcolor and textcolor codes which i used inIsland Box . Because of not working colorscheme, i used textcolor and backcolor codes on every page that i edited. Please look at this page or try removing textcolor and backcolor codes in my edited pages. For example this page . I didn't understand what is the reason of this problem. Is it something wrong with Common.css , ProtableInfobox.css, Color Scheme Key or something else?Ridtheone (talk) 19:49, November 13, 2015 (UTC
You're so helpful. Thank you for the advices and your interest.Ridtheone (talk) 22:31, November 13, 2015 (UTC)

Ok, i deleted import line in Wikia:css. And i hope there is no problem inCommon:css because it is same as this wiki. So, if you are able to do this, i want you to do. Ridtheone (talk) 22:25, November 17, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Vandal and other things Edit
Yeah, seems DP already gave him 3 months, which seems appropriate to me.
Anyways, Staw seems to be inactive right now, so could you maybe help us out with some small code things? The easiest and most recent thing is Template talk:Swordsmen Gallery, which I know probably has a simple solution, but nobody who understands code has posted there.
Also, are you available to possibly do some bot work here? Just simple rename/replace stuff, it seems we have a backlog of article renames to take care.
Anyways, thanks. JustSomeDude... Talk | 07:12, December 1, 2015 (UTC)
Hey Levi, when you get the chance could you fix Template:Dressrosa Arc because it isn't showing any episodes past 738. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 20:48, May 13, 2016 (UTC)
Thanks! We're really stretching that poor template to its limits thanks to Toei :P Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 12:02, May 14, 2016 (UTC)
Totland Arc Edit
Hey Levi, can you help us out and use your bot to rename "Whole Cake Island Arc" -> "Totland Arc"? AOD and I were just gonna do it without bots since it's a relatively new article, but wikia's search function seems to be down. I think I've got it in a bunch (if not all) of navibox templates already. JustSomeDude... Talk | 16:17, May 31, 2016 (UTC)
I use the page numbers of other volumes for reference. Vol. 81 had 208 pages and 10 chapters, so since the chapters are the same length there's enough room for 11 in this one. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 15:54, June 17, 2016 (UTC)
Also, for the first part of your question to Klobis, Pekoms said in 827 that the Totland islands are led by ministers, and Cacao Island is led by the Minister of Chocolate. So Muscat is one of the ministers. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 23:47, June 17, 2016 (UTC)
Re: Chapter 829 Edit
- Cacao Island is ruled by Minister of Chocolate. So being "Minister of Gelato" does not mean there is Gelato Island and he rules there.
- "Sweet City" is in English.

"Francis the Holy Jester"
Description: "Francis the Holy jester is a one man show, a play which relies solely on the considerable skill of a highly experienced performer and the imagination of the audience. This is a show without props, without scenery and with the simplest of costume where the bond between the audience and the performer, and thus the material and subject is tangible, visceral. A whole range of characters from 13th Century Italy are brought to life before us: Popes and Cardinals, Dukes and Duchesses, soldiers on the battle field, traders in the marketplace and St Francis himself."

Secrets of Success
Days 6 and 7 Of My ActiveLink
Friday, October 19, 2012
Day 6 was a good day for my ActiveLink. I did 100 minutes of deep water aerobics and water jogging. I took off the Link when I was walking around the house tightening screws on drawers and doors because that isn't something that I ordinarily do for activity. My tracker definitely showed some big dark green bars indicating activity that was intense. The activity time was consistent with the time I spent working out in the pool.
Day 7 was complete and total overkill on my part. I was active from 7:20a.m. until 3p.m. I did 120 minutes of water aerobics followed by several hours of walking as I completed my errands. This wasn't planned; it just kind of happened. Thank goodness I had a snack and water with me in the car because I didn't eat lunch until 3p.m. I was exhausted when I got home and ate lunch. This caused me to have to lie down for almost 2 hours.
I will find out later this evening what my activity looks like for today and add it into this blog. I hope my activity overload won't skew my baseline for my tracker. I worked around my tendency to over do my activity all week and am disappointed in my own judgement. Live and learn. This is the very reason I got the ActiveLink in the first place. Looking at the data in living color will hopefully help me to use moderation more often.
Tomorrow is my last day of tracking to establish a baseline or starting point. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of my first week of activity tracking. The ActiveLink will give me a 12 week challenge for activity after my baseline is established. I'm excited to start my activity challenge. At the rate I moved around today, I have a feeling that the ActiveLink is going to tell me to slow down. I certainly hope it will!!! It's a great tool for me to use to monitor myself as I exercise and live an active life.
When I plugged my ActiveLink into the computer, all of these dark green bars that indicated high intensity activity popped up. I was right about being active from 7:20a.m. until 3:00p.m. The darkest green showed during the time when I was doing water aerobics. However, a lot of activity of a medium intensity popped up in the hours after water aerobics. I'm looking forward to my last day of setting my baseline. I'm excited about getting started on my challenge!

Joe Flacco as Browns quarterback sounds great.
The Browns have had a revolving door at the game's most important position, and a Super Bowl MVP in his prime would certainly stop it.
Don't get your hopes up.
A Flacco-to-Cleveland scenario is possible because his rookie contract with the Ravens expired after the Super Bowl, he's scheduled to become a free agent March 12 and the Browns have more than $40 million in salary cap space. The idea was floated in the emptiness that follows the Super Bowl and picked up steam Monday when Sports Illustrated's Peter King suggested it as a possibility – not probability – in his well-read "Monday Morning Quarterback" column.
But it's way too premature for serious consideration, and too unlikely to draw so much attention.
Here's why:
Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome is one of the best in the business and knows it's idiotic to let a proven franchise quarterback walk out the door. He could spend the rest of his years searching for an adequate replacement.
Flacco likes Baltimore and told Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan on their TV show he expected to re-sign.
The Ravens have until March 9 to negotiate with Flacco without interference from other teams. That should be plenty of time to work out a deal.
There's no reason to think Flacco wants to come to Cleveland. He's 10-0 against the Browns and knows their flaws as well as anyone. And other teams would be chasing him.
The Ravens can assure Flacco's return by using the exclusive franchise tag.
Joe Linta, who represents Flacco, is scheduled to meet with the Ravens this week to begin negotiations. He said Flacco should be the game's highest-paid quarterback, and the only chance for the Browns to land Flacco is for the talks to break down.
It would still be a long shot.
If a deal doesn't get done, the Ravens can apply the exclusive or non-exclusive franchise tags by the March 4 deadline. The exclusive tag would mean about a $20 million salary in 2013 but lock him up for at least another season.
The regular franchise tag is about $15 million for quarterbacks for 2013, but allows other teams to negotiate. Here's where the Browns come in.
If Flacco were available under this tag, they would have to reach a deal in which he was willing to leave Baltimore if the Ravens didn't match. The Browns could frontload the contract to make it difficult for the salary cap-strapped Ravens to afford.
The Ravens would receive two first-round picks from Cleveland if they let Flacco leave. The Browns would also be on the hook for a multiyear contract that would likely average $20 million a season.
Owner Jimmy Haslam said during Super Bowl week the Browns wouldn't make any "big, splashy, high-priced" moves in free agency, but landing a big-time quarterback might be the exception. No matter the price tag.
The only way that's possible with Flacco is if the Ravens can't reach a deal, choose not to use the exclusive tag and Flacco gets frustrated enough to walk away.
"Don't be so sure of that exclusive tag," King wrote on SI.com. "The Ravens were $5 million over the league's $121 million salary cap at the close of business Friday, and that figure doesn't include a dime for Flacco."
King then quoted Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti.
"We've proven it two years in a row that we can kind of shock the world and disappoint our fans at the same time, by letting some of these guys go, but letting young guys fill in and then going out and getting good values on the free-agent market," he said.
That's the crack in the door. Just don't expect it to open much wider for the Browns.
Rumor mill
Until free agency starts March 12, the Browns will be the subject of many rumors because of their salary-cap room, which ranks second in the league behind Cincinnati. CBS's Jason La Canfora reported Monday many in the Steelers organization expect the Browns to sign speedy receiver Mike Wallace.
The Steelers are prepared to let Wallace leave, and he would be a boost to Cleveland's young and improving receiving corps. But Wallace isn't the only big-name receiver expected to be available – Greg Jennings, Brian Hartline, Dwayne Bowe – and could command upward of $10 million a season.
Wallace, 26, has played four seasons. He had 60 catches for 1,257 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2010, 72 catches for 1,193 yards and eight touchdowns in 2011 and 64 for 836 and eight in 2012.

text: The San Francisco 49ers were patient with 2012 first-round pick A.J. Jenkins during his rookie campaign, but with Michael Crabtree sidelined for the foreseeable future, they need him to step up quickly as the No. 2 WR behind offseason acquisition Anquan Boldin. A strained hamstring limited him early on in camp, though, and his initial preseason game was anything but impressive, as he fumbled the only pass he caught during his 20+ plays.

Report Bird Observations [New]
Site CRI03: The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen/Walkerton
Along the Cultural Arts Center's entrance driveway are manicured grass strips, red cedars and loblolly pines. The dense understory along the drive can produce sightings of several woodland bird species. A small, wet, vegetated depression on site is a magnet for sparrows in winter, and the adjacent patch of standing water may attract waterfowl on occasion. The remnant loblolly pine stand is a likely spot to listen for pine warblers in spring.
From Three Lakes Park, Nature Center and Aquarium, turn left onto Wilkinson Road, and then right onto Chamberlayne Road/SR 2/US 301. Continue 0.9 miles and turn left onto Parham Road. Follow Parham Road 2.3 miles to the second stoplight and turn right onto Brook Road/US 1. Travel north 0.4 miles and turn left onto Rt. 625 West/Mountain Road.

Atlanta guitarist, Jason "Lefty" Williams and his band, are gearing up for the August release of his new EP, All In, which is a fiery mix of his brand of southern rock and the blues.
On All In, Lefty's passion, drive and fierce honesty come through loud and clear with songs like "Coming Apart", "You Don't Tell Me" and "You Know I Love You".
Williams says that making the EP was a new process for him because everything around it was very different from his previous releases, "My first two albums I did with John Keane and although he was listed in the credits as a producer, he didn't really do any producing; he engineered the albums. I listed him as producer honestly because I didn't know any better. So in actuality I did all the production work. I mean I was the one who said what if we stretched this or added this here. You know, how about some more cow bell! So with this new record I worked with an actual producer, Ashley Dennis."
He went on to explain, "We have a pretty interesting story about how we met. I used to host a musician's jam for professional musicians around the Atlanta area and traveling musicians who would tour through Atlanta. When I was still doing this I would literally have guys fly in from London to come and do my jam and people would come in from Chicago and Canada and New York. Ashely lives about two miles away from where I was hosting this thing every Monday and one of our mutual friends had told him one day to stop by and check it out. They said it was a real happening thing and that they knew how much he liked music and that he would really enjoy it. So he started showing up every Monday for like two years before I ever found out that he was a producer! I knew that he was a very well respected sound engineer and front of house guy. I knew he did a lot of traveling and had toured with R.E.M. and Sarah McLachlan and Billy Ray Cyrus. I had seen pictures of this guy with everybody under the sun. So at first I knew he was well known for running sound but then I found out he was doing producing work. I had purchased a home studio and started doing a bunch of demos that I had written but hadn't been able to record. So one day it occurred to me that if I had some help from someone who actually knew what they were doing that I could put this out at home; something that would be good. So I hit him up one Monday and I brought in like twenty-five demos and I said listen man, I'd like to work with you and I would really like to get your opinion on these songs and I would like to have you help me produce this record. He kind of , well I don't want to say blew me off, but he was like I'm really busy and I really don't have time right now. I said I understand but just give the songs a listen and if you like them maybe one day we'll work together. He took them home and then called me the next day and was like, alright, we're doing this!"
Williams went on to say that Dennis' excitement about the songs inspired him to go about approaching Tree Leaf Music, which is a local label in Atlanta, "They have Tree Sound Studio, which is a very famous studio. They do all of Ludacris' albums. Lenny Kravitz has been recording there for the last couple of years. Matchbox Twenty did a bunch of their albums there. So after I got such a great reaction from Ashley, I decided to approach Paul Diaz from Tree Leaf Music about recording my music. I took that same 25-song demo into Paul and after the first four songs, he said we have to put you on this label! I mean he hadn't even heard the rest and he asked me if it got better and of course I said yes so he went through all of them and he wanted to record all of them. So we signed the deal right then and there."
Williams says that having Dennis around to help produce the album was invaluable, "We found out that we think almost exactly the same way. We'd be in the studio and I'd be saying this part of the song really needs another guitar part here and Ashley would be like yeah, it needs something like this, and he would say what I was thinking. It was really cool because we developed this symbiotic relationship. We really took our time recording it. It took about six months to do five songs, which is a very long time. My last two albums were done literally in under eight days and that was from the time we walked into the studio to the time I had the master in my hands. We were very meticulous about making sure the parts were right and that all the vocal parts were correct. Throughout the course of all that and hearing Ashley tell stories about working with this or that artist, I finally asked him if he would be interested in managing me. He said well, you know what, yeah actually I think that would be pretty cool and so he's my manager now."
Williams shared that moving forward he wants to release new music every six to eight months, which is best served by the EP format. He says this is partly so he can be really picky about what he releases but also because he feels it will allow him to better connect with his fans, "With a traditional album nine times out of ten those songs were made two years before they were even started in the studio and then it takes a year to get the song out so the fans are really getting a snapshot of where I was three years ago. Doing them every six months or so gives me the opportunity to always have new material and people really get a sense of where I'm at in my life right now, which makes me feel more connected to my audience."
As for performing the new songs, Williams says that his favorite songs to perform live right now are "You Don't Tell Me" and "You Know I Love You", ""You Don't Tell Me" is a lot of fun. The story behind that one is that my wife and I were arguing with each other and we don't argue a lot. Over the years I've learned that if I'm right the best thing for me to do is just to shut up and my wife will realize that I'm right and after a couple of days will apologize. If I'm wrong then the best thing for me to to do is immediately apologize. So we were in an argument and I was right and so I was just being quiet for a few days and I was angry because she still hadn't admitted that she was wrong yet. I'll never forget it because I was ironing my clothes after I washed them. I grew up southern and even though I don't sound like a redneck, I definitely grew up redneck and so I was sitting there just kind of talking to myself and mumbling under my breath. It was like, "You don't tell me, I'll tell you!" I don't know what it was about that particular moment that struck me but as soon as it came out of my mouth, I thought to myself everybody has that moment or point in their relationship where they were ready to break it off. Not that I was at that point but it just occurred to me. I was like man, I should write a song about that. I've had more than my fair share of bad relationships so I something to draw from and I just started the song. My wife and I were still in this argument and I'm downstairs writing the song and the chorus is "you don't get to tell me what to do anymore" and so she's steaming because I'm writing a song about her. It took me a couple of weeks for me to convince her that even though she inspired the song, it wasn't really about her. So that's one of my favorite songs to play live because it's just one of those moments where I get to be self righteous. You know, kiss it! It's a lot of fun to play because it's a sing-along tune and it really resonates with women, which is great; especially southern women. Then my other favorite is "You Know I Love You", which is the song that I wrote for my wife for our anniversary. She's an inspiring woman!"
He is planning on a release tour in August that will run through October and he says that those coming out to see him can expect, "A high energy band who really enjoy audience participation and getting people rowdy. Yeah we like fights...just kidding! We're very peaceful people. It's all about having a good time and having fun. We play mostly original music but we throw in a few covers. Some classic rock stuff and some newer stuff like Blackberry Smoke."
He says that he gets frustrated when he is pigeonholed as a blues guy because he feels that live he is as far from a blues guy as he can be, "I mean there's definitely an aspect of the blues in my stuff but I always tell people when they call me a blues guy that I do the blues the same way that the Allman Brothers did rock. It's there and it's part of my roots but don't come to my shows expecting to see Robert Cray because you'll be sorely disappointed. We're loud and we're all about rock and roll. If you like rock like Government Mule and Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin, then you're gonna love what we do."
He says he listens to and is inspired by all kinds of music from country to rock to blues and to jazz, "I listen to a lot of classical music. I actually spent nine years performing in a orchestra during middle school through high school. I spent two years in college playing the guitar parts in a big band so I like swing as well. I got really heavy into progressive jazz and jazz fusion stuff so I love that. When I was a kid my dad would switch from Led Zeppelin records to Herb Alpert to Yes to Genesis. He'd even be listening to Marvin Gaye so growing up nothing was off limits, well as long as it didn't have the devil in it. There was no Rolling Stones and my Iron Maiden records kept getting thrown away."
Because of his wide taste in music, Williams says that he has recorded a lot of different types of music that has never ended up on a record, "I've got a lot of jazz fusion stuff that I've never released or even recorded. I've got a bunch of straight up funk songs that I would love to release. When I was recording at Tree Sound, they've got a lot of hip hop artists that come through because Atlanta has such a huge hip hop scene. There was two songs from the 25-song demo that I brought in that were very much B-funk type songs and I had a couple of rappers say that they could rap over that and I was like let's do it because I don't really care for the words that much so let's collaborate. I like to do stuff like that."
When asked about how whether being born with one hand ever hindered his drive to play music, Williams explained that, "I started playing when I was four and I'm one of the few people I know who never had any other direction in life. For as far back as I can remember, I have never wanted to do anything else but play music and it drives my wife nuts because she has spent her whole life bouncing from idea to idea. She always tells me it must be nice to be so sure about what you want to do."
He went onto explain that although he self-taught himself in many ways, it was his father who really set him on his path, "My dad taught me originally. I started out with him showing me the chords. The biggest thing that my dad taught me was how to listen. He has a great set of ears. He knows almost nothing about music but he can pick out a melody on the guitar. I can remember when I was like seven years old and he was teaching me how to play "Stairway to Heaven" and I remember him telling me that one of his friends had shown him the main chord progression. We were sitting down and it was the section at the end after the solo section and there's like six guitar parts going on in that section at that time. My was like listen, Jimmy Page is playing this one part here. You have to listen to it real carefully. Then he said listen to this other part here and I actually heard it. It was just the coolest thing!"
The All In will be released on August 21. For more information on Lefty Williams you can check out his website at http://www.lefty-music.com/home.

Spad Wars! Cameron and Miliband Tangle at PMQs Over their Time in the Treasury
Not exactly a vintage PMQs today. Initially I thought it a win for Ed Miliband, but after some reflection I'm not so sure. More like a draw.
Ed Miliband did fine. It's not just commentators who think he hasn't exactly hit the ground running (it's more a case of his having hit the ground strolling). So the Labour leader needed to put in a solid performance. He managed it, splitting his six questions into two batches. On the government's plans to change school sports he scored a hit. Although if the cuts involve axing cross-country running at school I bet pupils will be delighted.
Then the pair tangled on the government supposedly soft-peddling on measures to enforce transparency on bankers' bonuses.
It quickly descended into a weird slanging match about their respective records as special advisors (spads) in the Treasury. Cameron was Lord Lamont's special advisor at the time of Black Wednesday and the ERM crisis. Ed Mili was a key player in the Treasury when Gordon Brown was ending "boom 'n bust" (what happened to that?).
Their exchanges amounted to: "Your boss caused more economic havoc than mine".
Cameron's lines struck me at first as pretty dire stuff. Ed Miliband knows nothing about anything, he said. That's lame, worthy of Gordon Brown when he was in a fury at being taunted by smoothie-chops old Etonian Cameron at PMQs and just wanted to shout and howl in rage at his opponent: "YOU ARE RUBBISH!" By a huge act of will, Brown would keep his temper under control at the dispatch box and end up saying something really limp, like "he knows nothing about anything".
But afterwards, I could see where Cameron was going with this. He called Miliband the "Nowhere Man of British politics," a pretty juvenile line on the face of it. But Cameron senses that Miliband really isn't connecting in the country, and that on the Labour benches there is unease about a sense of drift. Miliband is heading nowhere slowly, claims Cameron, trying to define his opponent. Unedifying stuff, but with repetition it could be effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do you decide who gets a dog?
- How much does a dog cost?
- Do you accept applications for psychiatric service dogs for placement with adult partners or Guide Dogs for people who are visually impaired?
At this time, 4 Paws does not train "Guide Dogs" as we believe that this type of service dog work should be done by those who specialize in Guide Dogs for teens and adults. However, we will work with young children and those older kids who do not qualify for a guide dog because of inability to work with them. For example, a teenager who is visually impaired and also severely autistic. We place a dog with training that we call facilitated guide work which the parent can use with the child to help them feel more independent.
- Who attends training and why is it done that way?
- What will my child(ren) do during class time?
- Our child has disabilities that seem to fall into two categories of service dogs. Can you help?
- Do you have any kind of support system for families of children you accept?
- We already have pets in our home. Will this disqualify us, or make problems for us?
- What kind of funding options do you offer?
- Our child is unable to handle a dog. Do you certify parent-child teams?
- Where do the dogs come from?
At 4 Paws 90% of our dogs are purpose bred. These are dogs specifically bred by 4 Paws to perform certain types of jobs. Our dogs are bred for health, temperament, and longevity. Many of the dogs we use for breeding are second and third generation 4 Paws breeding dogs. This means that their mothers/fathers, and even in many cases their grandparents, were 4 Paws breeding dogs. These are dogs which were held back from service dog training to produce more puppies for 4 Paws, selected as the cream of the crop from their litter and many times because their parents produced amazing service dogs with special talents like scent work.
When we first began, 4 Paws was committed to using shelters as their main source for dogs, but we found that while many of the dogs up for adoption have the potential to be wonderful pet and companion dogs, very few met the strict requirements we have for a dog to graduate from 4 Paws. When using shelter dogs, more than 75% of them became flunkies and went on to be the pet dogs they were meant to be. With our purpose breeding program, less than 5% of all dogs bred are dropped from service work and adopted out into pet or therapy dog homes. We have found the use of shelter dogs to be a waste of valuable resources not only financially, but also the time it takes for the staff here to search rescues and shelters for the very few who just might graduate. We feel a responsibility to those who donate to us to be good stewards of the money they so graciously give as well as a commitment to our families that we will provide the best dog possible to meet their needs. Using quality purpose bred service dog puppies is one of the most important ways we can do that.
That being said, we at 4 Paws care deeply for all the animals who find themselves in shelters across the country and participate in the rescue and adoption of puppies when able we are able to do so without compromising the health and well-being of the service dogs in our care. Occasionally one will find a dog or two available through 4 Paws that is up for adoption because we were aware of their need for placement and were able to reach out and help. Though one dog at a time, we do our best to help whenever possible.
Fundraising Support
Read about our 4 Paws Fundraising support team. Families who have completed the process helping new 4 Paws families to fulfill their fundraising requirement!
At 4 Paws, the money doesn't come out of the recipient's pocket either. What we have done is to create a fundraising requirement. We form a working relationship with the recipient to have them raise money for 4 Paws in order to then qualify to receive a dog. The family is raising funds for 4 Paws for Ability as a volunteer to support our mission and goals.
In this manner, the waiting list we have is only as long as it takes the person to complete their fundraising requirement. We felt that there were many, very capable people with disabilities and their friends and families, who would rather spend time helping us fundraise so they could then get a dog, than to sit on a 2-5 year waiting list for a "free" one.
Here is an example, which might help you understand. Most people are familiar with Habitat For Humanity, a group that builds new houses or renovates old houses for people who can't afford to buy a house on their own. Once a person applies and is accepted to receive a house, they then have a "work requirement." This person must now spend 300 hours helping to build houses for other people before they will be given a house.
Someone might read this and think, 300 hours? "I can't do that," but there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of people across the USA sitting in their very own houses because they could do it. Many time people think, "Fundraising? I can't do that." However, if you take a minute to look around the website, you will see a fraction of the many dogs placed because the people could do it!
I can't even begin to tell you how many of our recipients were astounded when they finished their requirement and said,"Wow, look what I did." In this way, their service dog has become an empowering influence in their lives even before they get him/her! Fundraising takes commitment on your part, but just think at the end of the process you can be very proud of this accomplishment, as we hand you the leash and send you of on a new and exciting journey in your life.
FAQ About Our Fundraising Process
- How much money do I have to raise before I qualify for a dog?
This is good news for you! The funding you are raising is used to support the 4 Paws mission of placing service dogs with disabled children. Once your fundraising requirement is complete you will then qualify to receive one of our specially trained dogs. It will cost 4 Paws $22,000+ to place a service dog with your child so any amount of money you raise that exceeds your minimum requirement of $15,000 will certainly make it possible for us to train even more dogs for more children.
4 Paws will assist you with fundraising ideas. We have a handout titled Fundraising – A Great Start with many wonderful ideas on ways to raise money for 4 Paws. These ideas will usually bring in much, if not all of the money needed to fulfill your fundraising requirement. This amazing document is provided as part of the acceptance packet only.
Remember, 4 Paws is not asking you to go out and fundraise for yourself, independent of 4 Paws. You are required to "volunteer" to fundraise for 4 Paws For Ability as a sort of "partnership" in providing a service dog to you.
We are here to guide you, approve all fundraising efforts, make changes on all material going out to the public, and offer suggestions to improve your efforts.
You will not be sent out to raise money on your own, which can seem very overwhelming, you are volunteering for and working with 4 Paws.
We will be here to support your efforts in any way that we can.
- Why can't I just raise funding on my own?
4 Paws is a 501(c)(3) agency. This means that not only is the donation tax deductible by the person donating it but also that we are accountable to the IRS for our fundraising efforts. In addition there are agency policies in regards to how fundraising is done. For these reasons, all fundraising efforts must be cleared through 4 Paws.
You will need to call and/or email us with your activities. On the fundraising handout you will find the following statement "Keep a detailed account of all your contacts including but not limited to, schools, universities and colleges, churches, media other agencies, businesses, or funding sources. Provide updates on your fundraising efforts weekly." If we have a problem with how a letter or flier is worded, we will provide alternate wording.
If an activity is not acceptable we will explain and offer an alternative means of raising the money. There are specific ways the money raised through the means on the handout Fundraising – A Great Start should be collected and/or supplied to 4 Paws and these will be shared with you at the time that we discuss the fundraiser with us. If you were just to go out and "do it on your own," you might accidentally misrepresent the fundraising process to the donors or create a legal issue that we would then have to deal with. Remember, in essence you are volunteering your time and fundraising efforts to 4 Paws in order to qualify for a dog from our agency.
- What happens if I can't raise the entire amount?
We have placed over 750 dogs and have never had an applicant who truly put effort into fundraising who could not raise the total amount of their fundraising requirement. It does take time; funds do not come in overnight. 4 Paws will continue to work with you for as long as it takes. Generally the fundraising takes 3-9 months.
However, if you were to raise half, three-fourths, etc. of the money and then quit your fundraising efforts, stating you no longer wish to participate in this process, no dog will be placed with you.
The donations you helped to raise for 4 Paws are not returned. These are monies given to 4 Paws as a donation and will be used by 4 Paws to continue our service dog placement services.
Please be clear on this topic of discussion, 4 Paws will NOT quit working with you as long as you are making the efforts needed. We will support you in any way and stay with you until all funds are raised. No family who has honestly worked at fundraising has not received their dog!
What if I can afford to just pay the money or my family wants to just pay the money?
If the person fails to meet the contracted agreement and no dog is placed, or a dog is removed after placement, the money donated is not returned.
Remember it is a donation NOT a fee paid for the dog and fundraising is not the only requirement you must meet to get a dog.
- How do I know that the money I bring into 4 Paws is credited to my efforts?
You will be asked to tell anyone making a donation to 4 Paws because of efforts on your part, to include your name on their check or to attach a letter, newspaper clipping, etc. that shows the donation is in your name and should be added to your list of donations secured for 4 Paws.
Each time a check comes in with a notation indicating your name, it is noted on your records. A letter of thanks is sent to the person who made the donation to 4 Paws that they can use for tax purposes.
At the time your records show you have met your requirement, your case is officially opened and a dog is placed into training for you.
- What happens if extra money comes in?
- Does completion of my fundraising requirement guarantee me a dog?
You must participate in training with the dog at the training center and in public. Make all training sessions, with the dog, after the dog is placed, and maintain the training contract you signed prior to fundraising as well as the placement contract you will sign when the dog is placed in the home.
You should also know that how the dog is placed is not guaranteed by the fundraising requirement. Let's say you have been approved for a Mobility Assistance Dog and wish to take this dog into the public. You have finished raising money and the dog has been fully trained. However, after the training period is over, you have not been able to demonstrate that you can handle the dog in public; the dog will then NOT be placed for use in public.
You will sign an agreement stating you understand the dog is for home use only until at some later date you may be then able to demonstrate better control of the dog. If you fail to follow through on your requirements for getting a dog at any point during the entire process, from fundraising through maintenance of yearly certification the dog will not be placed or may be removed from your home.
Again, please be assured, 4 Paws will provide a dog that was chosen and trained specific to your needs. Your ability to handle the dog determines if the dog is placed for use in the home or for use in public as well.
If you fail to come for training with the dog (out of state) or training sessions (in state), no dog will be placed. Therefore the only reason no dog would be placed at this point would be as a direct result of your failure to meet the training requirements. 4 Paws cannot simply hand someone a trained dog.
The recipient must learn how to use the dog both in the home and in public.
Hopefully this has answered your basic questions. If not, please feel free to call and discuss your questions or concerns with a 4 Paws staff member. We have placed more than 40 dogs in the community, using this process, and their recipients are thrilled to have them!
We look forward to beginning this exciting journey to receive a wonderful 4 Paws For Ability service dog, with you. The day the dog is placed, we guarantee all your efforts will seem light in respect to the wondrous life you and your dog will have together!

- What happens when one of your dogs is discovered to be unsuitable as a service dog?
Meeko is an example. Meeko is a German line German Shepherd who was donated by a soldier who was in Iraq, and he has what we call garbage gut which means he got loose stools very easily. We felt he would do better in a pet placement than a stressful service dog placement. We placed him with an adoptive family, and here's what Jim Weber says about his new dog:
Just thought I'd let you know how Meeko is doing. WONDERFUL!!!! He has settled in at his new home quite nicely. He is a happy, healthy, and very intelligent dog with a great disposition. He has socialized with the neighbors dogs, as well as other dogs at the park and pet store extremely well.
Even with lots of distractions, he minds his manners and pays attention to my commands. We play/train in the yard every day, and we have been going to Prairie Oaks parks to walk and run for at least another hour each day. In less than a week he has almost mastered "loose leash" walking. And he is rapidly learning my commands and signals.
For an 11-month-old dog, his ability to learn and behave is amazing. I am using positive reinforcement for his training. He is a natural for it. Meeko is gentle, patient, and very loving. He does not pester me for food, bark when he has to wait, or chew on anything while alone. My vet was really impressed with him and his behavior when he went in this week. He is in perfect health and weighs 64 lbs.
We both agreed that he should be about 80 -85 lbs once he's filled out. (Boy, can he eat!!!) In short, I could not have dreamed of a better dog. I cannot thank you enough. The programs and care you have given him have done wonders. I have told every one I know (and a few I didn't know) about your program. What you do for these animals, and the people lucky enough to adopt them is nothing short of a miracle.

I'm using Linode, and I've asked around on the IRC channels, but no one seems to know. I've logged into my server via LISH (reference), and I used the correct password, and everything went fine. However, I need to login via SSH/FTP, and I can't. It keeps on giving me "permission denied". I know the password is correct because I reset it via LISH, and I know I've got the login method right because I've logged into my server before using the exact same commands. I sure hope this doesn't turn out to be some noob issue, or I'm going to be quite frustrated.
You need to run ssh (the client, and possibly the server) with more verbosity to understand why authentication is failing. For the client, run
On the server end, look in the logs. /var/log/auth.log will give you a pretty good idea about what happens when you try to login, look for messages that contain "sshd". There are a variety of reasons why authentication could be failing, ranging from simple (you aren't using the right username) to more complicated (sshd is configured to use the wrong authentication system).

In the movie The Wizard of Oz the Wicked Witch of the West is served by flying monkeys. The monkeys have no voice, no free will, and faithfully and blindly carry out the orders of the witch. If we have someone in our life who has a personality disorder more than likely they have flying monkeys involved with them. They can be family, friends, work associates or anyone else relationally linked between the two of them and us.
A classic story of flying monkeys comes from one of my favorite books by one of my favorite authors, Toxic Parents by Dr. Susan Forward. One of Dr. Forward's clients was a grocery clerk who had the good fortune of winning a ski trip to Aspen; a trip he would never have been able to afford on his income. Excitedly he called his mother with the good news only to have her collapse in tears when she found out he wouldn't be home for the holidays. Somehow he still found the gumption to go despite her manipulation and guilt. However Mom's scheming and desire to punish did not stop. Rather than enjoying the crisp mountain air and perfect slopes he spent most of his free vacation in his hotel room apologizing and placating his furious siblings for hurting Mom. His mother never said a word. She didn't have to. She let her children do the dirty work and speak for her.
A flying monkey at your employer might be as associate who whispers in your ear, "The boss is angry with you. You better watch it." An acquaintance might call to inform you that a mutual friend was upset when she found out that you went away for a weekend of R and R and didn't invite her. You know how much she is going through right now. A little trip would have cheered her up. How could you be so insensitive and inconsiderate?
Because people with personality disorders are ruthless, have no empathy, and view people as means to an end they will use flyng monkeys to be their arm extended and further their destruction when they are not around to do it themselves. When we come to the conclusion that for the sake of our sanity and emotional health we must go low or no contact with the disordered person it may mean letting go of a constellation of people who are their proxies inflicting the same quality of pain and madness on us as the "witch". Since the flying monkey dynamic often plays itself out in families here is a Web site of family therapists in the Dayton area: http://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/prof_results.php?city=Dayton&s...
