Catch On to Some Smart Dishwashing
The latest dishwashers are
energy efficient and water saving—good investments for people tired of
washing their own dishes or looking for more proficient
washers. Smarter dishwashers are catching on some with more success than
One such dishwasher is the "Marvelous Machine"
by Gaggeneau. It's made in Germany and
comes equipped with sensors that inspects wash water and adds clean water when
needed. This process saves a little over a gallon of water per load. It also uses
highly effective water spraying methods that clean dishes more efficiently.
Then there's the Mini-Cooper of dishwashers. The countertop electronic dishwasher from Danby stands 17-inches tall. It may look like a microwave, but
it can wash four place settings at a time. It was introduced in 2004 and comes
with an Energy Star rating.
The Touchtronic Platinum Anniversary dishwasher is built for heavy duty jobs. It
looks like a steel safe but is capable of washing 14 place settings at one time.
This brawny washer has a special feature that super heats water for cleaner
There's also the "Suds-Free" dishwasher from
Australia. This prototype became
reality in 2006. Alexandra Gilmour, a
design student from Sydney, introduced the unique dishwasher. This eco-friendly
contraption uses high-temperature steam as its primary cleaning agent.

Has anybody got Ubuntu running on a modern laptop with a USB3.0 port replicator? Specifically running additional monitors.
I want to move my work machine away from a desktop to a docked laptop. And I don't want to have to plug in power, keyboard, mouse, monitors and net every morning.
I've been looking at two machines:
Lenovo ThinkPad 440s The Linux compatibility looks good but according to forums the USB3.0 dock display doesn't work, and the manufacturer has no interest in making it work. I hear better things about the USB2.0 replicator but I don't know if it works with this PC
Dell Precision M3800 Dell have a "baby brother" to this with official Ubuntu support and I've read this one works well too. The recommended dock is also USB3.0 and I can't find any info on Linux support for it. No response from Dell either
I'm open to other options but I do need lots of RAM and lots of SSD. I'd love to hear from anyone who has something like this working. If I can't find a solution soon I'm going to have to buy a Mac. And I really don't want to do that!

Facebook Like buttons coming to mobile apps
Know those Facebook Like buttons that seem to show up everywhere you go online? Well, get ready to see them in mobile apps as well.
At an event called MobileBeat 2010, Facebook's head of mobile products (and a former product manager of the Google Nexus One), Eric Tseng, has announced that Facebook's Open Graph, the secret sauce behind those Like buttons, will be made available for mobile.
What this effectively means is that Facebook's social tools, most famous of which is the Like button, will presumably show up in mobile apps that don't already have their own social networking tools.
There isn't a specific time-frame for roll-out yet, but the required updates to Facebook's kits for iPhone and Android developers are expected soon.
They've also released some impressive stats regarding their own mobile applications, which went from 100 million active users in February to 150 million right now.
Facebook's plans for the future include a mobile-only experience, whereby a new user will be able to sign up for the service without ever touching a computer. This will obviously play a big role in Facebook's expansion into developing markets such as India, where the number of cell phones in service is much, much higher than that of computers.
Also, for the time being, there are no plans to bring ads to the Facebook mobile clients.
Nothing particularly earth-shattering here, but a renewed focus on mobile as the dominant platform of the future can clearly be read between the lines.
Doesn't seem like Facebook will be going away any time soon.

text: I'm thinking about finally forkin over the cash to buy a console. I don't play many games.... basically just sports games and our beloved graphic adventures... so the number of games available isn't too important to me as long as the important ones are. I'm leaning towards the Gamecube for reasons I can't quite explain... but it probably has to do with Microsoft having made the Xbox. Logically though, I may have to go with the Xbox since one of the games I would surely buy eventually would be Psychonauts, and that is only coming out on the Xbox.... at least so far. My question is, is Full Throttle II and other important Lucasarts games coming out on the Gamecube? And does anyone know if there are ever any plans to release Psychonauts on the Gamecube, because, for whatever reason, I would just feel a lot better buying a Gamecube.

"Final Fantasy XIV" has had an interesting journey from the original 1.0 release to the launch of "A Realm Reborn" on the Playstation 4. The result is possibly the most definitive version of the MMORPG thanks in large part to the amount of options that are available to the console.
The visuals of "FFXIV: A Realm Reborn" are the first to make an impression with an impressive color palette void of any dullness and improved visuals over the PS3 version. The textures for both characters and the world are more detailed while the draw distance manages to cover more space as well. However, it's the control options and content that makes the most lasting impression in the long run.
Players who choose to wield the DualShock 4 controller will have easy access to 32 different hotkey commands through clever combinations of triggers, buttons and the D-pad plus a well-organized layout. The touchpad is put to good use as a mouse replacement and is actually a godsend for when players might get lost in the somewhat cluttered menu options.
For those that prefer a more traditional experience, a mouse and keyboard works even better. Even with the improved DualShock 4 controls, this is still the best option for players.
PS Vita owners are in for a special treat thanks to the Remote Play option that the PS4 offers. The handheld does a wonderful job of giving a more portable option for "A Realm Reborn." Now feel free to play an MMORPG in the comfort of your bed or the toil…or anywhere else you might feel like taking it around the house.
Thankfully, Square Enix did provide the ability to customize the HUD layout in FFXIV. You'll be able change the position and size of the hotbars and other elements to best meet your play style as well as the device you are playing and on the control options you use.
No MMORPG would be complete without compelling content, however. The initial couple of dozen levels are admittedly a grind, especially when done alone. A consistent stream of playing fetch and "go kill X number of Y enemies" can get old after a while. Grouping with others is definitely the way to go to not only level up faster but make the time more enjoyable as well.
The payoff comes toward the latter levels though and shines through with the end-game content at level 50. It will be hard to not find something to do starting with a Relic weapon to kick off your questing with plenty of hour-eating content. Not everything was experienced in time for this review but the amount of latter content left untouched looked daunting and, frankly, more fun and challenging than during the first 30 levels.
Keep in mind though that "A Realm Reborn" is very much geared towards a PVE experience. PVP can be done via Arena battles but the driving force behind that is more for exclusive loot and personal pride than anything that will change the endgame for you.
Square Enix did put in a nice hook though by allowing players to experience the different classes with the same character. Simply switching the equipped weapon or device will allow you to try out classes from the different Disciplines – War, Magic, Hand Land. Eventually, you'll be able to specialize in different jobs at level 30 with the ability to combo abilities of certain classes for added bonuses.
Despite all of this, "Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn" still suffers from the same problems that most modern MMORPGs suffer through and that's a large degree of sameness. Yes, there's a lot of content but it's largely content that experienced MMORPG players have already encountered in one form or another. Fortunately, the "Final Fantasy" style keeps a certain magic resonating throughout "A Realm Reborn" and Square Enix appears dedicated to releasing updates with new content regularly.
- Loads of content to take on
- Visually pleasing with plenty of "Final Fantasy" flair
- Control options plentiful to suit your preference
- Expect lots of grind
- Doesn't tread much new ground for a MMORPG
- Light on PVP content
Title: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
Platform(s): Playstation 4
Developer: Square Enix
Publisher: Square Enix
Price: $39.99 plus $12.95 a month (free transfer from PS3/PC to PS4)
Release Date: April 14, 2014
A review code for the Playstation 4 was provided by Square Enix for the purposes of this review.

After posting about the empty Max Hoffman Showroom, I received word from Janet Halstead, Executive Director of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, about what is being done to ensure that the space is being monitored. More after the jump...
"The Conservancy has been following this situation for several months. In August we submitted to the Landmarks Preservation Commission of the City of New York a letter and a formal "request for evaluation" of the Hoffman Auto Showroom. This is the first step in any potential city protection of the site. The local DOCOMOMO group submitted a support letter for this evaluation as well. We received an acknowledgment of our request from the Commission but despite a couple of follow-up inquiries nothing further. We are continuing to pursue it."
I'm heartened to hear that the FLWBC is not only aware of the current situation, but actively making sure a solution is found that protects this Wright work. Please help support the FLWBC in their mission to protect Wright's works here.

The Bank Of Japan Is Coming!!! (Or, Most Likely, Not)
- Printer-friendly version
- Aug 1, 2011 1:08 PM
- 47
LOLBoat has arrived
Is this any different than the way that we (U.S.) puts out BS headlines for the algos to pick up on?
To central bankers: Oh! What a tangled web we weave when once we practice to deceive.
"The BOJ is Coming!"
Or as Martin Mull would say,
"Thank you for cumming or any other way you reacted."
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
So, at least they are trying something different...
...which won't work.
King World News weekly metals wrap talked about this over the weekend. Basically, the observation that the intervention following the earthquake/tsunami/Godzilla disaster has completely worn off and the yen cross is at the level to just prior to the last intervention. No doubt these are rumors, but the BOJ has lost so much credibility that whenever some screams intervention, they might as well just do it.
Fairly certain this was an observation first made about 4 months ago when the intervention wore off in about 4 weeks.
No doubt you guys called it. But the USDJPY did just trade below the multi-decade low.
I'm still learning a lot about the Forex markets, but even I understand that a country's economy has a lot to do with how a currency performs (or doesn't!). Japan is still glowing blue, with lots of flotsam and jetsam laying around from the tsunami -- WHY/HOW is the Yen getting stronger? Answer: someone(s) dog-piling on Japan!
Steak and BoJ day bitchez....
Hmmmmm... i wonder where all these central banks get their monies from?
They seem to throw $billions around daily without a care in the world.
The owners of these central banks must be really rich... hmmm, i wonder who they are?
BOJ had already started to intervene before the announcement.
One example: The world bank
Dizzy, he is being sarcastic. FMB is pointing to the crew (Rothschilds et. al.) who own the whole thing.
And then some maybe.
sushi not radioactive
that is all
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a Gas! Gas! Gas!
Most CHF and JPY currency charts look like the Silver chart before it crashed.
Parabolic momentum cannot be sustained.
Wait for QE3 to see a real parabolic move in CHF/USD...
True Robo, when you are in a delta position and plummeting past the other sky divers, they appear to be rocketing skyward.
Philipp Hildebrand aka SNB will not release similar statements.
But he´ll have to deal wth the huge real estate bubble over here in switzerland. Mortgage lending is totally out of control...
My advice: If you want a long term hedge against $ devaluation, don´t buy CHF, buy (physical) Gold.
You would think that after burning through the last 1.3 T yen they would realize this strategy doesn't work? Oh but that's right, that's the only strategy they got. The land of the rising sun is soon to be the land of the setting sun and their lost decade will become their lost Century or possibly even the lost civilization once the true aftermath of Fukushima sets in.
Japanese bankers are tucked up in bed for fuck sake, any intervention they will be doing is with their wives.
You repeatedly show your naivity. In Japan women are for babies ,men are for sex you bufoon.
What can i say, you're a man of the world, err.
The point of my post has nothing to do with my gender but whether you are naive or troll which has now been established. Your employer needs to rethink his hiring policy.
Love the news on this MONDAY ...
More jap monetary easing, the UK openly discusses it, and the US is sure to follow suit.
Yep, us gold investors are crazed loons, and the danger is DEFLATION, you hear? DEFLATION!
+100 trn Yen TD
Bounce is just nervous profit taking.
It is Currency World War now. All guns of the US and the UK are directed on the Euro while Japan is down on its knees.
What is happening in Europe:
Despite all the horror news from the European crisis, the Euro is getting internationally more and more important while the Dollar is slowly getting weaker. Not to mention the Pound Sterling which is already only of marginal impact.
So will Greece go bankrupt? Yes, they are already, Will this create a fundamental banking crisis? Who knows. Who knows which banks do finally hold the bag in other words who sold CDS protection to the banks holding Greek debt?
What do we know?
Greece can not go back to the Drachma. Its suicidal that such a relative small country tries to install its own currency again. Thats a laughing matter. Nobody would trust this money. Greece is presently not a reliable partner in international finance as the past showed.
And the stupid talks that it would help Greece to have an own currency because then Greece can devalue its money from time to time when it is needed. This is absolutely bullshit. Who would like to hold a currency or an investment in a country which devalues its currency from time to time.
But a weak new Drachma can boost Greeks exports and this will help the country!
Have a look at close neighbors of Greece. Countries like Bulgaria and Romania. These countries do not have the Euro and their living standard is compared to Greece very low. These are the countries Greece has to compete with then. The economic structure of these countries is similar to Greece, both are full EU members like Greece but both have still their own currency.
So the question remains how far the new Drachma has to fall till Greece can compete in prices and products with Bulgaria and Romania. I can not come up with a number but I can tell you, very far. The unemployment rate in Romania and Bulgaria is extremely high and the salaries are just a fraction of the EU average. These countries pay wages often comparable to the wages paid in China for the case you have one of the rare jobs.
Therefore I'm very sure nobody in Greece wants to go this way, because the introduction of the New Drachma would bring Greece down to the situation of Bulgaria and Romania. And then there would be no reason anymore for Germany to prop-up Greece.
So countries may become bankrupt, banks may collapse. This is all in the cards. It can happen anytime soon again.
But what about the Euro the backbone of Euroland itself.
The fate of the Euro is directly linked to Germany. And the fate of Germany is directly linked to the Euro. The Euro is in principle the money of Germany since simply said the old DM became the Euro. But the Euro (former DM) is used as the official everyday currency by more than 500 million people within the EU. Plus other EU members which do officially not belong to Euroland but have pegged their currency directly to the Euro within a relative narrow frame.
So its not wrong to say that all EU members are in principal using the Euro as their money except the UK. And the UK is accordingly and interestingly the only country within the EU using the tool "quantitative easing" just as the US does. The UK is weakening their currency through QE while the ECB does not do the same.
When Germany falls the Euro is collapsing as well as the other way round! But then all other EU countries would suffer even more than Germany itself. That's why nobody in Europe wants the Euro to collapse and they are praying for a prosperous Germany to act as the economic engine of Europe, except the UK. But often the things are very different from their appearance. Nicolas Sarkozy could be the Trojan Horse within the EU. His war in Libya is clearly a war against the economic interests of the EU and is destabilizing Italy.
The winner takes it all. And the winners is will be these areas in the world which have at the end of the war still a trusted and stable currency. A currency other countries have trust in! While the opposite accounts for the looser.
Who is going to win the Currency World War? The combined economic forces of US, UK, Canada, Australia, and its vassals Japan and Saudi Arabia etc.
or the combined economic force of their counterparts
Euroland, Russia, China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Iran, Turkey
Nobody can predict the outcome since the US, UK etc. are using (lets call it mildly) "unconventional" methods to reach their goal to destabilize the EU and to kill the Euro. But it is also clear, that Australia and Canada are going to be the least affected countries whatever the outcome of the Currency World War. They are more or less by-standers.
So everything can happen and nothing can be trusted. .
Don't know who's gonna win, but the list of losers is pretty long (and growing!)
Much to do about nothing.

What happened to gold and silver today?
What is going to be the excuse of the day from General Jim and all the "experts" at KWN after this selloff?
Is Abercrombie and Fitch's market cap now bigger than Newmont Mining?
poor 'tard. still angry about losing his tail in the market so he lashes out at gentleman jim sinclair even as gold is within 1% of its all time high.
the 'tard from last night:
Futures are open.
ES up 16
Gold crushed to $1,609
Poor General Jim, still waiting for TEOTWAWKI
Robutttraitor = Eddie Haskell of 0H
What happened to gold and silver today?
Nice try. What happened today? The same thing that happened in July, June, April (insert month here) noise, just noise. The same thing that happened in virtually every month during this ten year March.
Bukkake Bitchez!
Whoever wrote this is shamefully misguiding or is praying his usd/jpy shorts dont blow up, the last time BOJ announced an intervention they did Mr. Noda quoted as saying ready for battle. BOJ cannot afford to not follow up.
Good time to intervene after that heavy selling by the Japanese into the ISM numbers.
Add: I just got an hourly buy signal on the SPX.
Well, I don't know if this is BS or not. Every time they intervened and announced it later they got creamed. This makes for a nice change. First announcing, looking for the reaction, and afterwards deciding if intervention is an option is cheaper. And with USD/JPY (still) above 77 it seems to be working for now.

France will Not Use EFSF to Recapitalize Banks; Slovak Government Falls, EFSF to be Approved Anyway; Greek Haircuts of 30-50% Coming; EU Seeks Magic
Since a Govt.s purpose is to decieve, heh heh heh, where is this "legal" Facility, and it's records(of repayments)? Where are the recap funds to actually come from? Should they be needed.
Will it be IMF money again? and why IMF, if such is the case?
I've heard Goldman and Morgan could have as much as 40% exposure, in a default situ. Is the U.S. going to provide "Dollar liquidity.... again!!!?? I would think the IMF, misinformed if the Funds were to be expected to be from the FED, as a new issue.. or was that where the repayments are standing...American /Fed $, $ Americans will be accountable for in devaluation of their currency? Is this the money..legal..that France is counting on? Money that should have been erased, once paid bacg? Is the IMF now funded with Trillions of U.S. dollars from previous "legal"lending?
The Bank of Japan made it clear that it is willing to intervene in the markets in order to curb the Yen strength. This can translate into a trading opportunity for the USDJPY when coupled with Technical Analysis.

Foundation for Minimal Solaris 10 Systems
By gbrunett-Oracle on Sep 27, 2004
The topic for this article is the Solaris 10 Reduced Networking Software Group (also commonly known as the Solaris 10 Reduced Networking Meta Cluster). This software group is new and joins the five existing software groups available in Solaris today: Core, End User, Developer, Entire and Entire + OEM software groups. The Reduced Networking Software Group is positioned as a subset of Core and represents the smallest amount of Solaris that can or should be installed and have a working and supported system. Note that for support reasons, it is not advised to remove packages installed by the Reduced Networking Software Group.
To install the Reduced Networking Software Group, simply select it from the list when doing a graphical installation. If you are using JumpStart, then you should use the cluster keyword with the new value SUNWCrnet. The following is a sample JumpStart profile that uses the Reduced Networking Software Group. This profile was also used to build the system used as an example in this article.
install_type initial_install cluster SUNWCrnet partitioning explicit filesys rootdisk.s1 768 swap filesys rootdisk.s0 free / system_type standalone
During the installation process, you will see messages similar to the following:
Processing profile - Selecting cluster (SUNWCrnet) - Selecting all disks - Configuring boot device - Using disk (c0t0d0) for "rootdisk" - Configuring swap (c0t0d0s1) - Configuring / (c0t0d0s0)
One thing that may draw your attention is the following install-time message:
Verifying space allocation - Total software size: 152.67 Mbytes
Yes, it's true - the size of this installation is just a little over 150-Mbytes. Note that this size is based on the build of Solaris 10 that I was using and will certainly change before Solaris 10 is finalized, but I did want to mention it as an example of how small a Solaris installation can be. By leveraging the Reduced Networking Software Group, you are providing yourself with a solid foundation on which to deploy a minimized platform. So, let's see what we have...
# df -k Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 7929156 164697 7685168 3% / /devices 0 0 0 0% /devices ctfs 0 0 0 0% /system/contract proc 0 0 0 0% /proc mnttab 0 0 0 0% /etc/mnttab swap 956144 224 955920 1% /etc/svc/volatile objfs 0 0 0 0% /system/object fd 0 0 0 0% /dev/fd swap 955928 8 955920 1% /var/run swap 955920 0 955920 0% /tmp
By the time all is said and done, the installed system is up to 161M. At present, this accounted for about 81 packages. This default configuration includes 28 set-uid programs and 11 set-gid programs. This is all much less than what is typically installed on most systems today. As noted above, this will certainly change before Solaris 10 is finalized, so don't hold me to those exact numbers. :-)
What is actually running on this system by default on this system? To answer this question, we look at the output of ps -aef:
# ps -aef UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 0 0 0 21:52:19 ? 0:06 sched root 1 0 0 21:52:22 ? 0:00 /sbin/init root 2 0 0 21:52:22 ? 0:00 pageout root 3 0 0 21:52:22 ? 0:01 fsflush root 432 376 0 22:31:05 console 0:00 ps -aef root 7 1 0 21:52:24 ? 0:03 /lib/svc/bin/svc.startd root 9 1 0 21:52:24 ? 0:16 svc.configd root 394 385 0 22:00:00 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/saf/ttymon daemon 335 1 0 21:53:40 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpcbind root 340 1 0 21:53:40 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/keyserv daemon 279 1 0 21:53:27 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/crypto/kcfd root 376 7 0 21:59:59 console 0:00 -sh root 278 1 0 21:53:26 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/nscd root 79 1 0 21:52:46 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/sysevent/syseventd root 411 1 0 22:00:03 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/fm/fmd/fmd root 367 1 0 21:59:58 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/utmpd root 385 7 0 22:00:00 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/saf/sac -t 300 root 389 1 0 22:00:00 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/syslogd root 395 1 0 22:00:00 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/inet/inetd start root 397 1 0 22:00:00 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/cron
As you can see, really only the bare minimum. This is also confirmed by our look at those network ports that are in use as reported by netstat -an:
# netstat -an UDP: IPv4 Local Address Remote Address State -------------------- -------------------- ------- \*.111 Idle \*.\* Unbound \*.32772 Idle \*.514 Idle \*.\* Unbound TCP: IPv4 Local Address Remote Address Swind Send-Q Rwind Recv-Q State -------------------- -------------------- ----- ------ ----- ------ ------- \*.\* \*.\* 0 0 49152 0 IDLE \*.111 \*.\* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN \*.\* \*.\* 0 0 49152 0 IDLE TCP: IPv6 Local Address Remote Address Swind Send-Q Rwind Recv-Q State If --------------------------------- --------------------------------- ----- ------ ----- ------ ----------- ----- \*.\* \*.\* 0 0 49152 0 IDLE SCTP: Local Address Remote Address Swind Send-Q Rwind Recv-Q StrsI/O State ------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- ----------- 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0 102400 0 32/32 CLOSED Active UNIX domain sockets Address Type Vnode Conn Local Addr Remote Addr 30001307e08 stream-ord 30001292a80 00000000 /var/run/.inetd.uds
As you can see, only a handful of ports are actually open by default on a system installed using the Reduced Networking Software Group. The ports open in the above example belonged to the rpcbind process (ports TCP/111, UDP/111, and UDP/32772) and the syslogd process (UDP/514). If you did not want these services running, you can disable them with the following commands:
# svcadm disable network/rpc/bind # svcadm disable system/system-log
Alternatively, you could have also configured rpcbind to use TCP Wrappers by running the following commands:
# svccfg svc:> select network/rpc/bind svc:/network/rpc/bind> setprop config/enable_tcpwrappers = true svc:/network/rpc/bind> quit # svcadm restart network/rpc/bind:default
Certainly, you would then need to configure your TCP Wrappers hosts.allow(4) and hosts.deny(4) files accordingly. For syslogd, you could also have set the LOG_FROM_REMOTE parameter in the /etc/default/syslogd file to NO. This would have caused the syslogd process to not listen for incoming connections from remote hosts.
But I digress...
Now, since only 150-Mbytes of software was installed, it should come as no shock to you that there is a lot of other software that was not installed. This is why the Reduced Networking Software Group is a foundation for minimization. You will need to add any software packages (either manually or by defining them in your JumpStart installation profile) that you need for applications, services, management or support.
For example, let's look for some common programs and services to see what happens:
# echo $PATH /usr/sbin:/usr/bin # which telnet no telnet in /usr/sbin /usr/bin # which ftp no ftp in /usr/sbin /usr/bin # which rcp no rcp in /usr/sbin /usr/bin # which rsh no rsh in /usr/sbin /usr/bin # which ssh no ssh in /usr/sbin /usr/bin # which mount /usr/sbin/mount # mount -F nfs -o ro 10.1.1.100:/export/disk1 /mnt mount: Operation not applicable to FSType nfs # truss truss: not found # snoop snoop: not found
As you can see, the Reduced Networking Software Group does not come with very much! It is precisely this reason however why it will help customers wishing to build minimal configurations. By providing a solid, core set of packages, customers are free to take an additive approach to building minimal systems by simply adding in those packages that they want or need. This approach is much improved from the typical method employed today that requires users to remove unnecessary software packages - as this approach was prone to error and often raised problems for the supportability of such configurations.
Since I believe that many people will want to have Secure Shell in their default configuration, I did want to provide the JumpStart installation profile entries that would help. If you would like Secure Shell (but do not care about tunnelling X11 connections), then you can use the following profile:
install_type initial_install cluster SUNWCrnet cluster SUNWCssh add package SUNWgss add partitioning explicit filesys rootdisk.s1 768 swap filesys rootdisk.s0 free / system_type standalone
Well, that's all for now. Check back soon for another installment of lesser known and/or publicized security enhancements to the Solaris 10 OS. I still have a bunch lined up for you! Let me know what you think of this series of articles as well as ideas for future updates. Take care!

A Hot Investment Tip
If you haven't invested all your money in pressed juice, here's another hot industry.
If you haven't managed to make a killing in the pressed-juice industry (like some people, ahem, are trying to), here's another hot tip: hot sauce. The Washington Post notes that hot sauce is the eighth-fastest-growing industry in the U.S. right now, after yoga studios, generic drugs, and for-profit universities. Might have something to do with global warming, and possibly that whole artisanal boom we read something about somewhere ... [Wonkblog/WP]

Teaching Tuesday Memo:
Each semester, I teach Weldon Kees' poem "For My Daughter" to my literature class. This year, however, perhaps because my daughter is three and I am becoming increasingly aware of the degenerate roles girls assume in our society, this poem struck a chord in me that causes me great grief and fear intermingled.
Weldon Kees' poem is as follows:
Looking into my daughter's eyes I read
Beneath the innocence of morning flesh
Concealed, hintings of death she does not heed.
Coldest of winds have blown this hair, and mesh
Of seaweed snarled these miniatures of hands;
The night's slow poison, tolerant and bland,
Has moved her blood. Parched years that I have seen
That may be hers appear: foul, lingering
Death in certain war, the slim legs green.
Or, fed on hate, she relishes the sting
Of others' agony; perhaps the cruel
Bride of a syphilitic or a fool.
These speculations sour in the sun.
I have no daughter. I desire none.
—Weldon Kees (1940)
In summary, the speaker of this poem is a man, a father, who looks upon his daughter and sees only three fates for her: 1) a life burdened by pain, death, and misfortune; 2) a life fed by hatred for others; and 3) a life in which she has married a man who cheats on her and infects her body with sexually transmitted diseases. He concludes the poem by revealing that he does not have a daughter, and because of these reasons, he does not want to have one.
My students' reactions varied. The women understood what the speaker was implying, drawing on their own hardships in life because of their gender, and although this was dark and morbid in nature, they appreciated his ability to see into their lives. My male students focused on the selfish and bitter tone of the poem and the negative message it imparts upon the reader in regards to ill-fated lives of all women.
Since all my posts seem to harp on the negative attention given to young women and the lack of empowerment they execute on behalf of their bodies and their selves, I found this to be an apt poem for my blog. Kees' revelations and his view of women's lives are bitter, but quite accurate. Unlike the speaker, I am a woman who has seen all of the examples he cites, and yet I have chosen to rise above them. I have chosen to bring my own children into this world, and I revel in the fact that I have given birth to a girl. When I look at her, I see all the dangers and darkness that I have to teach her about and protect her from, but I also see her potential, her intelligence, her strength. Women have to fight for their place in this world, for their self-respect, for their independence and self-possession; I have, and she will be no different. And because she comes from me, and is exposed to me, I pray that she will be as strong and empowered as I strive to be.
What about you? Do you agree with Kees' perception of the ill-fated daughter, the ill-fated woman?

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) _No. 17 Arizona is looking for more physical inside and more toughness, as well as their Hall of Fame Coach Lute Olsonˇ?s return as the Wildcats hung on to defeat Northern Arizona 76-69 on Tuesday.
Olson, who has been on a personal leave of absence since Nov. 4, was replaced by assistant Kevin O'Neill.
Olson had missed only seven previous games during his 25-years as Wildcats coach. Six came surrounding the death of his first wife Bobbi during the 2000-01 season and one was against LaSalle due to a back injury in 1994. Arizona is 5-3 without him.
With O'Neill in charge, Arizona started two freshmen and a pair of sophomores, who struggled to put Northern Arizona away until the final seconds.
ˇ?It is hard not having coach on the bench, but we have been preparing normally without him,ˇ± Arizonaˇ?s Jawann McClellan said. ˇ?Coach canˇ?t teach toughness. He canˇ?t give you toughness and give you heart. We have to go out there and do that ourselves. I donˇ?t care who is coaching the team. We need to play that way.ˇ±
Arizona (1-0) was led by Chase Budingerˇ?s 25 points, and 18 from freshman guard Jerryd Bayless.
McClellan, the lone senior in the starting lineup, scored 15, including a pair of free throws to seal the victory with 11 seconds left.
Nate Geiser and Kyle Landy each scored 17 points for NAU (1-1).
The Wildcats took a 74-69 lead on a pair of Budinger free throws with 44 seconds left after two free throws by NAU's Ryan McCurdy.
The Lumberjacks, who trailed most of the game, closed the gap with a 13-0 run late in the second half, pulling to 66-63 with 5 minutes remaining following Zach Filzen's three-point play.
Arizona went through a stretch where it made just 4 of 22 field goal attempts in the second half to allow the Lumberjacks to close the gap.
?ˇ?I am from the school where a win is a win, it beats the alternative,ˇ± Oˇ?Neill said. ˇ?(But) they physically dominated our inside players in the second half.ˇ±
Arizona had led by 16 with a pair of Budinger free throws and a Nic Wise 3-pointer before Geiser hit back-to-back 3s with 7:13 remaining to keep the Lumberjacks within striking distance The Wildcats had limited NAU with only one field goal for over eight minutes in the first half to take a 41-30 edge into halftime, but never could pull safely ahead with the Lumberjacks shooting 50 percent from the field after the intermission.
ˇ?We battled back. I think they kind of rested a little bit in the second half,ˇ± Geiser said. ˇ?They got caught on their heels.? Before you knew it we were back in the ball game and they had to wake up and play some basketball. They prevailed and hit some shots.ˇ±

Joan Bonvicini
"I thought our defense was better in this game. We were tracking and we went to full court press at times. Our team did better at talking to each other then they usually do. We need to cut down on the turnovers. Besides that, we controlled the tempo of the game. This win will give us the confidence that we need. I told the players that every game needs to be on t.v. because we seem to play better when we're on t.v."
"Our next game is a non-conference game. Santa Barbara is a good team. They have a lot of big players on their team. We need to realize that every game is huge. We lost our last non-conference game and we want to come into this one prepared."
On Guard Candice Allen
"She was out for awhile with a concussion. It's good for us to have her back. She gives us the quickness that we need. Having her back gives our team a completely different look. Every possession and every steal I see her confidence growing."
On Forward Elizabeth Pickney
"This game will give her confidence. I've been telling her that she needs to be more active in the paint. Today she improved, she had a lot of offensive rebounds. She created shots for herself. She hasn't scored like this in awhile. She had 24 points which is incredible."
Arizona Player Quotes
Senior Forward Liz Pickney
"I think our defense helped us put up our offense in the end. Our defensive changes paid off and helped us down the stretch. Washington didn't know what we were doing."
"This is a big confidence builder against a good team like Washington."
"Coach changed the plays a lot, but everyone paid attention to the changes. That helped us get the deflections and the turnovers."
"I think that being at home and practicing as long as we have was good to get our team playing well."
"Candice Allen's aggressive play and penetration drew the defense and helped our offense."
"I was very active offensively because I went to the boards. We played well as a team with our guards penetrating. As of now, we play together more than in the past. In practice, scrimmaging a lot helped us know how to play better together."
Sophomore Guard Candice Allen
"I thought that I felt really good. I don't keep track of my points, but when they told me that I got my record, I was excited."
"Coach said, 'Attack! Attack! Attack!' and I said okay."
"This gives us huge confidence. We are on a roll now."
"I would have to say that I am at 96% now with this game."
"We changed our defense every play to keep them confused. We kept their heads spinning. I could tell that they were frustrated. They played really good as a team."
"All of our deflections on defense helped our offense get the fast breaks."
Washington Head Coach: June Daugherty
"We failed to compete for 40 minuets today. We played hard in the first- half, but in the second-half Dee-Dee (Wheeler) did an excellent job at breaking down our defense and making plays."
"When our defense gets broken down it makes it tough on us. That is what happened today, we were unable to makes the big stops we need to get a victory."
"Coming out of the second half, Arizona was effective at using different defensive sets and were successful at changing their defense and putting pressure on us."
"I feel our team did a good job rebounding against a very athletic team. We lagged in transition and played hard in segments and not for the complete game."
"I give Arizona credit for coming out and executing a tough transition defense. We didn't give 100% on getting back on defense which led to many fast-break opportunities for Arizona."
Washington Players Quotes
Emily Autrey:
"In the second half, we let the game get away from us. Arizona made good rotations and gave it to us. We need to play 40 minutes and we didn't do that tonight."
"I just think if I can bring it and be intense, it will rub off on my teammates. It's hard to do every night, but I need to try and play hard."

Force grip hand position...
So when I do something like this:
self->client->ps.forceHandExtend = HANDEXTEND_FORCE_HOLD;
Look in the saber update position stuff in w_saber.c to see how it tracks the position of the saber blade.
w_saber.c being the second largest source file in the game directory, I'm lost.
Uh... anything more specific..?
sorry, I don't have the code in front of me but it's the function with the CheckSaberDamage function calls.

How Social Media Sucks Us Into Arguments About Things Like Gun Control
If your week on Facebook has been like mine, then you must be pretty tired of arguing with stupid people about gun control. Nevermind whether you and I are on the same side of the issue—it's sort of like George Carlin's question: "Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?" Even if we don't agree about gun laws, I think we can agree that the other side has some pretty stupid people on it, and that we've been talking to them on Facebook.
Facebook brings us into several new dynamics that intensify what seems to be already a predisposition for many: the inability to listen to someone say something wrong about something important and not say something about it. The classic xkcd comic, "Duty Calls," depicts this perfectly.
But on Facebook, unlike in prior online spaces like webforums, we are explicitly among friends and family, and largely among people we know offline as well as online. This makes arguing with people who are wrong more consequential: there's more at stake both in the sense that it means more and matters more, and in the sense that there's more chance to really damage your relationships with others.
Users follow all sorts of different strategies to mitigate the desire for authentic self-expression among those we care about and the very real threat of angering and alienating people who we have to see in the office on Monday or at Mom's on Thanksgiving. Some, of course, just don't get political on Facebook at all. Others adopt a "deal with it" approach. Some true believers defriend in order to maintain an ideologically pure network. I have one friend who maintains a "family-only" profile, and shares, from time to time, the posts that she finds particularly crazy and amusing on her secret "friends-only" profile. Most of us, though, try to muddle through. Just like in everyday life offline, we choose our battles, and moderate our beliefs (or at least how and how often we express them) with sensitivity towards those who we care about in spite of our disagreement.
As much as we might try to "keep it real" on Facebook, there's always an element of performance as well. Our posts and comments are set down and survive our presence. After we walk away, they remain available, and serve as our representatives and ambassadors to friends and to friends-of-friends. Just as every vacation picture is both an honest and simple sharing and togetherness with those we care about, and also a depiction of how nice our lives are and how good our kids are (at that moment at least); so too every argument we engage in is both an honest attempt to talk things through along with friends and learn something along the way, and a demonstration and proclamation of our values and our ability to stand up for them.
This performance, though performance it be, isn't entirely a bad thing either! It's important to stand up for things that are important, and there's a great value in serving as an example of conviction and steadfast refusal to let a wrong go unaddressed. Although it must be admitted that this is only really important in contexts that matter, and Facebook doesn't seem, prima facie, to be a terribly consequential space.
In some sense, of course, arguing on Facebook is one of the best possible examples of pointless aggravation. But it also represents a pretty remarkable opportunity for us to engage in an important political process, central to the very idea of democracy.
Democracy becomes little other than pugilism and propaganda if we no longer have spaces of deliberation, where differently-minded people find themselves in community with one another, and motivated to air and (hopefully) work through those differences. In webforums and other previous forms of online communication, there was a tendency towards "The Daily Me" and the "The Daily We." Nicholas Negroponte used the term "The Daily Me" in his "Being Digital" to talk about how our ability to choose which kinds of information sources we seek out online leads to a kind of echo chamber. If we are on the right, or interested in domestic or economic news, we're more likely to seek out and read news sources and stories that fit with this orientation. The same applies equally to those on the left, or interested in international news or women's issues, or so on. Cass Sunstein extended this insight into his discussion of "The Daily We" in his Republic.com. Sunstein analyzed how political discussion in online forums tended towards extremism due to similar forms of self-selection in forum membership and self-performance to solidify belonging within politically defined groups. So, in a libertarian webforum, there's a kind of tendency to establish cred and a failure to include opposing views, leading to a trend towards intensification of views in the community and in individuals within the community. That's just an example of course: again, the same analysis and the same trends apply equally in socialist webforums or Democrat webforums or so on.
Because our Facebook networks are built around things only loosely, if at all, connected with our political views and interests, our networks are much more varied than they were in previous online spaces. This is very much intensified by the presence of friends-of-friends on the posts made within our network. And, furthermore, because there's often much more at stake in those interactions than those on webforums—since, again, we're more likely to have to deal with these people offline, too—there's some very significant motivation to keep it real and to really try to talk about things that are important, and to talk about them with an eye to seeking resolution. So, as silly as arguments might get on Facebook sometimes, it's a very valuable space for significant democratic deliberation, and a great opportunity to gain an understanding of the many views that we don't ourselves hold.
So, go for it! But remember Wheaton's Law. You don't do your view any favors when you fail to respect others, and others' views, no matter how wrong they might be. Politics, in the end, is about trying to figure out how to live together with others, and that's what everybody has in mind when they talk politics. Each and every person talking politics is trying to put forth their own best ideas about how we can best live together, and we should always keep that in mind—as hard as it might be when they identify the problem with our society as exactly the opposite of what you believe, or, especially, when they identify the problem with our society as being people like you.

The Kansas Senate has approved a plan that would increase aid to poor school districts as well as eliminate tenure for public school teachers.
The Senate voted 22-16 on Sunday to approve a compromise drafted by Republicans in both legislative chambers.
The House was expected to vote on it later Sunday. It would go to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback for consideration if both chambers pass it.
The plan is designed to comply with a Kansas Supreme Court order last month in a lawsuit over education funding filed by parents and four school districts in 2010. The court directed lawmakers to boost aid to poor districts.

Lady Saw – Heels On [Music Video]
Kali McCarthy
January 18th, 2013
Feast your eyes on Lady Saw "Heels On" music video below.
When Lady Saw says "let me love you with my heels on" she means it.
The Queen of the dancehall drop the highly anticipated video for her smash hit single "Heels On." And who better than legendary dancehall star Shaggy to play her love interest.
Saw showed off her banging body in the Scorpio 21-directed cut, and yes she has her heels on throughout the entire video.
Lady Saw recently announced that she will be leaving dancehall for gospel this year. But with a video like this to kick start 2013, we highly doubt that will ever happen.

Whenever politicians insist that a public sector job is absolutely necessary, hold on to your wallet, they'll be picking your pockets next. That's what snake oil salesmen — and women — do.
Five members of Youngstown City Council and a smattering of other misguided individuals are determined to maintain a three-judge municipal court, despite the fact that the workload does not justify three.
Numbers don't lie. The same can't be said of some politicians.
The latest caseload data from the Ohio Supreme Court clearly supports the contention of forward-thinking residents who believe the status quo cannot be sustained — or justified.
The numbers also confirm the position taken by the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, Maureen O'Connor. Last month, O'Connor, a Republican, advised Republican Gov. John Kasich not to appoint a successor to Youngstown Judge Robert A. Douglas Jr., who retired Aug. 1.
The governor has the authority to appoint judges, while the chief justice has power over all the state courts. O'Connor has taken a particular interest in the court system in Mahoning County and has joined with county Democratic Party Chairman David Betras in calling for the reorganization of the lesser courts — those below the common pleas level.
'Time is ripe'
In urging Kasich not to fill the vacancy created by Douglas' retirement, the chief justice said the "time is ripe" for county officials to move forward on the restructuring of the municipal courts in Youngstown, Campbell and Struthers, the four county area courts and the mayors courts.
Betras had urged the governor not to replace Douglas, while the chairman of the Republican Party, Mark Munroe, kept insisting that Kasich had no choice in the matter.
But after the chief justice made her opinion known and it became clear that the governor would follow her advice, Munroe shamelessly tried to take credit for the position embraced by O'Connor.
Now, members of city council, who recently demonstrated blatant disregard for the intelligence of Youngstown voters with regard to proposed charter amendments, want the governor to ignore Ohio's top judge. It's not going to happen.
All the lawmakers are Democrats, as is the clerk of courts, Sarah Brown-Clark, who has been on the public payroll for so many years that her pension will be many times greater than the $24,000 a year median income for a family of four in the city. Brown-Clark et al have no political steam. Republicans occupy all the statewide offices and control the Ohio House and Senate.
More significantly, however, the push to get rid of all the lesser courts in Mahoning County and replace them with a metropolitan court is exactly the change in the status quo the governor has advocated.
Youngstown's so-called leaders need a reality check. They have been blinded by their own self-interests. Private-sector taxpayers are no longer willing to give government the money it demands. More than 80 percent of operating budgets goes for salaries and benefits, which means people in the private sector who are earning less and have no illusions about their pensions must keep feeding the beast that is government.
High court report
The Ohio Supreme Court's report on caseloads destroys the argument that Youngstown needs three judges.
The city's population of 66,982, along with the 13,264 cases filed in 2011, stick out like a sore thumb compared with many other municipal courts in Ohio.
For instance, Willoughby, with a population of 86,135, has a municipal court that handled 16,020 cases.
But here's the kicker: Willoughby has one judge.
Put another way, one judge handled 16,020 cases, while each of the three Youngstown judges had 4,421 cases.
For those who believe that comparing Youngstown with Willoughby is unfair, how about Shaker Heights, with a population of 60,508 and a caseload of 14,321? That city has one judge.
The supreme court's report makes clear that Youngstown does not need three judges. In fact, even two may be one too many.
Youngstown City Council members have no credibility. Democratic Party Chairman Betras does. Kasich and O'Connor should listen to him.
I agree with you Bertram. This democratic proposal will go as far as Hagan's proposed ban on fracking.
if only one municipal judge is needed, then why recommend only a half-sssed chang. Reform the city judicial system entirely.
It will be much easier to purchase justice in the valley if there are fewer to pay.2 or 22-if the wrong 2 are in power-we are no better off than we have always been.Make the changes and lets go for broke. Sincerely hope the change is for the better-not just a continuation of what we have always had.If Betras is for this change, I am highly suspicious of the final outcome.

Now that the sun is rising earlier and setting later, throw open your curtains and let the light in. And don't stop there. Switch out your winter bedding for a new, brighter set, like the Lamu Duvet Cover & Sham ($78-280) at Serena & Lily. The white and coral pattern is pretty neutral; it's not powder pink or floral, so you won't have to persuade your guy to give it a try. You'll both want to spring from bed each morning and start your day off on a cheerful note.

text: 19 September 2012 archive See all show photos A FASHION stalwart, and one of Italy's proudest fashion exports, it's always with fondness that we watch an Iceberg show. It must have something to do with familiarity, something comforting – just like that of an old jumper perhaps? An apt analogy for a fashion house that has its roots in knitwear. Gladly, there was an abundance of this on show today, and it was welcomingly made modern: open knits had interesting layered angular panels and were given a metallic trim; knitted body-con mini dresses were updated with embellished epaulets; and long-sleeved dresses were crafted with glittering intarsia. The colour palette was also familiar – zingy oranges and hot-house fuchsias injected a Mediterranean vibe that's perfect for summer, making way for purple and black combinations as their after-dark alternatives. Elsewhere floor-sweeping maxi dresses and halter neck silhouettes provided an easy-to-wear element, an aesthetic that is clearly the label's biggest strength. These were clothes that will appeal to both young and old, as while there is nothing ground-breaking about them, they have a perennial cool to make up for it. Praise is due for creative director Paolo Gerani, who has delivered a collection that holds multiple appeal. Scarlett Kilcooley-O'Halloran Continue reading Back to top

But did you know that it is estimated that 54% of pets in the U.S. are overweight or obese? This is a figure that's on the rise, according to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, and Petfinder is putting the spotlight on pet health with our Fit FurKeeps program and the help of experts and educators like Dr. Ernie Ward. Yesterday, Dr. Ward visited Hallmark Channel's Home & Family to discuss this important issue and offer pet parents simple tips on how to ensure their furry friends are with them for a long, long time. He was also joined by adoptable dogs Maggie and Reese's from Petfinder member Best Friends Animal Society and Spay/Neuter Center in Southern California). You can tune in today, December 21, at 8am ET/7am CT (locate Hallmark Channel on your provider), but we'll leave you with a few of Dr. Ward's top takeaways: Measure Your Pet's Food: Don't rely on sight, instead use a measuring cup, keeping in mind that the recommended servings on most packaged foods are for the most nutritionally needy pets and that you should adjust this based on your pet's age, activity level and other important factors. Treat Your Pets…But Sensibly: If you've ever been on the receiving end of a whine or pleading face (my dog Bea is an expert), you know that resistance is futile. Keep in mind that packaged treats are often highly caloric and don't hesitate to enlist fresh options that you and your pet can share, like fresh veggies for your dog or fresh tuna or salmon for your cat. Get Active: While diet is the bulk of the battle, exercise is important to the health and happiness of all pets. Don't let the colder weather or shorter daylight hours prevent you and your pet from getting needed exercise. If your dog gets cold easily (like mine), buy a coat or sweater to make them more comfortable. If you have a cat or the weather prohibits extended trips outside, play games inside and enlist interactive toys to make playtime in smaller quarters fun.

If you are looking to buy or adopt a Jack Russell, you can view our :
Jack Russell for sale section
Jack Russell for adoption section
Jack Russell for stud section.
A bold, happy and high energy dog, the Jack Russell Terrier is a fun dog to have around in the right surroundings. This little dog is feisty and is not afraid to show it and it is important that the owner does not forget its working roots to ensure a long and happy life with their pet.
The Jack Russell Terrier as we know it today was bred by the Reverend John Russell in the early 1800's. As a hunting enthusiast, the Reverend purchased a mostly white haired Fox Terrier he called 'Trump' to help him distinguish between his dog and the quarry in the field. From there, Trump became the founder of a breeding programme headed by the good Reverend and by the mid 1800's a distinct breed had emerged with the mainly white hair he was aiming for, with the stamina to cope with tough field conditions, the drive to chase and follow prey which had gone to ground but the intelligence and control of aggression to not kill the prey, (the Reverends claim was that his dogs had, 'never tasted blood'). Thus the Fox Terrier and ultimately the Jack Russell Terrier is likely to be descended from dogs of this period.
After the death of Reverend Russell, a group of enthusiasts carried on the work and aimed to breed small terriers under 6.5kg in weight and in the late 1800's a club was formed which was named the 'Parson Jack Russell Terrier Club' as their popularity as hunting dogs grew. Their numbers declined during the 2nd World War and gradually they started to be kept in family homes as pets rather than as working dogs.
Average height to withers: 11-14 inches for both males and females
Average weight: 6-8 kg for both males and females
Small and perfectly formed is how enthusiasts often describe this breed - and indeed they are! Sturdy and tough, with a body in proportion to their height, they are compact dogs with dark, intelligent and lively eyes, dropped, triangular ears and a predominantly white coat with black, tan or black and tan markings. The coat can be either rough or smooth and is simply a personal preference and is made for the outdoor life, usually being a double coat. A notable feature of the Jack Russell Terrier is that its chest is not too deep as this may hinder its work in dens, burrows and other compact areas.
A true Terrier to its very core, the Jack Russell Terrier has more energy size for size than any other small dog. The owner of this little dog should be prepared for its boundless stamina and fun all the way! Its high energy and exuberant nature makes it a great choice for canine sports such as flyball and its natural intelligence can be focussed in agility and obedience competitions. Outside a working life, a 'job' such as one of these canine sports is a good idea as a bored Jack Russell Terrier can be a very destructive one, and is especially given to digging and chewing anything and everything in sight, indoor or out.
Early socialisation is paramount, especially if the dog is to live with smaller animals (although for terrier types with this strong hunt-prey drive nature it is not always recommended). If not socialised correctly, the Jack Russell Terrier can become 'snappy' and very dominant with all it encounters.
Jack Russell Terriers are noted as a breed for its longevity, often living up to the age of 16 years and beyond. This is largely due to the sensible use of the gene pool adopted by good breeders. As a result, it is a very healthy breed and has few health worries for the owner; however, some issues the owner needs to be aware of include deafness, (often encountered in white haired animals) and cataracts.
Jack Russell Terriers need plenty of exercise given its size, something of which prospective owners are not always aware. They will seem to go on and on long after you have called home time! As hunting dogs it is worth taking the time to ensure they have an excellent recall or are kept on a lead in certain areas where there is high wildlife activity. Even the best behaved of Jack Russell's can be lured away from its owner with the promise of a good chase and going to earth, (be prepared that you may have dig out this little fellow on occasion).
This breed can shed reasonably heavily, so grooming once a week will benefit the dog.
