Skip to comments.(Vanity) German Shepherd Needs Good Home Quickly (Help a FReeper out -Mod)
Posted on 03/30/2012 7:26:44 PM PDT by pops88
I just sent the following to someone involved with animal rescue, and wanted to share with Freepers. It's been a very hard day here :
I found out last night my family has to move overseas in the next 5 days because of my husband's job. I have a highly intelligent, well trained, well behaved, 4 year old German Shepherd. If I can't find a foster or permanent home, he will have to be euthanized. I've worked with him extensively. He's obedient and knows many commands, but he's not been able to be socialized to other people or animals. From the time he was a puppy he was fearful of other people and I was unable change that behavior. As a family pet, he has been wonderful. He was neutered as soon as possible to avoid problems with dominance issues. Some of the commands he knows: sit, stay, lie down, leave it, drop it, take, put (here,) give, find (person/specific toy), back up,wait, shake,kiss, crate, etc.
He is pool safe. He does not enter bedrooms or bathrooms unless on command. He does not get on furniture or eat food that has not been given to him. He will not take food from counters, coffee tables or the garbage. He is housebroken. If his water is empty he will nudge his dish and sit and wait. If a toy is taken away and put up he will not try to take it back. He doesn't beg at the table. When I'm cooking he goes and lies down. He is in good health and not over weight.
He can be a big ham with doe eyes or a head plant on a knee when he wants attention. He's so smart and communicative that I've referred to him as our toddler. He was taught to heel as a puppy, but because of his fear and aggression with strangers and other animals he has not been walked on a leash for several years. He's had to be confined to our home and backyard. My husband is a pilot and was unemployed several times in the last few years because of the economy. It's been a real struggle for us. We didn't have the money to take him to a professional trainer to deal with his socialization issues, and he was too big for me to handle on walks. He would be an absolutely wonderful dog for someone willing to work with him.
I've kept a file on all his vet records and papers (purebred from East German blood lines.) We absolutely hate the thought of having to take him to the Humane Society and be put down when he's such a wonderful dog otherwise, but again, we have to move overseas on extremely short notice and we're all pretty much in shock. I live in Las Vegas and expect to be driving to Los Angeles on Tuesday.
FRmail. Read the newest one first...
You may take your pets with you to many countries nowadays, even England.
"Sounds rather strange that you cant spend several more days stateside to take care of personal business while your husband travels ahead to take care of arrangements at your destination."
Why are you so mean Kirkwood ? In this economy sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Also: How can I get my private email to pops ? I will take the dog ...on East Coast but can figure something out.
pops88, I would love to foster, adopt, take into my home the German Shepherd you speak of. I'm in Northern Ca. I saw some one talk of Southern Ca, is that where you are located? Let me know, will drive down Saturday. I will pm you also. I do not know of a better Dog then the GSD. Thanks, Rich
perhaps. My wife and I are buying a farm and we talked about getting a dog.
Can you tell me how we might transfer on such short notice?? If possible, I will get you in touch with my wife..
You find a way to deal with the problem other then killing it or abandoning it, it is part of the family.
What a beautiful dog.
Wish I could take him.
Contacting the 'dog whisperer' guy sounds like the best idea.
Well, just read the dog whisperer guy can't take dogs.
That's tough. A German Sheppard surrender place then.
Best of luck in finding him a home and good luck with your new job/home.
God bless.
"You may take your pets with you to many countries nowadays, even England."
I don't have that option with this move. If there was any way I could, I would.
I've got to be off to bed. I vaguely remember eating once today. I got the bare essentials in a box, some clothes in a suitcase, and the next few days will be entirely devoted to my dog, Aldawin. And a small bit of trivia- my 13 year old, who had been home schooled, was taking German her first semester at UNLV and decided to give him a German name. We later discovered it means "old friend."
From the German Shepherd Rescue-
We are full and also have a long waiting list. If we had room we would not be able to take a dog that's aggressive to people and or dogs. We already have too many dogs like that the we can't get adopted.
Sorry we can't help.
Now I'm really maybe off to bed.
Psalm 56:8
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
Here is another place to try. They specialize in fostering dogs for the military if this is a military family
I'm very overwhelmed by the support, care and help that's been offered. I'm trusting that God has the right person for my challenged, but loving dog. God always has a plan. He's a God of life and not death. He's the God that loves the unborn and the handicapped. He loves the widow and the orphan. God's idea of perfection is so vastly different than ours. Perfection is what's in His eyes, accomplishing His purpose. If our faith was never tried, we would never grow in Him, and we would not be able to praise Him for the miracles He's done for us. I've always felt the dog ("God" backwards) was one of the best gifts He's given us, and judged a person's character by how they treat a dog. If I'm forced to go with my last option, at least I'll know who my dog will be with. I would rather have him be with his maker that loves him than let him suffer or abandon him. He had a very good, loving home for almost 5 years. I think he was one of the lucky ones. He was very well loved. He wasn't one of the many thousands or more left to die in the street or butchered in a 3rd world country for dinner. I had a neighbor who was Westernized. Her adopted stray puppy was hit by a car. Sadly, I witnessed it. Friends showed up and offered to butcher it for her. FOAF in the Philippines bought a dog in a shop. She picked out a cute puppy to take home. She was horrified when they brought it out butchered. These are things that have tugged at my heart strings in my relationships with dogs. A large portion of my heart goes with my dog, but yes, if there is no solution, I will be at his side as he drifts off to sleep in "mommy's" arms before I'll let anyone abuse or harm him, and he will go knowing that he was greatly loved,just as he unconditionally loved me.
Sounds like you have already made your decision. But just in case, ue to the quick time line, I wonder if it is possible if some freepers that have shown an interest could get in touch with you via phone, etc. so you are comfortable with them. Get an agreement of sorts written up, and then put your dog up at a kennel for a few days until the new owner could get to your area to pick up your dog? Just a thought.
"Sounds like you have already made your decision."
No, the only decision I've made is that I won't abandon my dog to fend for himself or adopt him out to a Michael Vick home. I'll do everything I can to find him a good home, and I believe God has one. Not long after the presidential election, I was praying and agonizing over my dog's temperament. I got a very clear message that I'd want a big, scary dog because of the times. Now he's removing me from where I am and maybe someone else needs a good dog, because the conditions are such that I can't take him.
I hope that things work out for you and the dog and your move. A hectic and stress full time. I'll say a quick prayer for your situation - and that you can get some sleep! I wonder - is your dog not socialized with other people only when you are around, or when it is in his territory? It may just be that as master you are the only alpha. But with a new master - perhaps he will recognize them as the new alpha if you are gone?
"It may just be that as master you are the only alpha. But with a new master - perhaps he will recognize them as the new alpha if you are gone?"
I think he would recognize a new master as Alpha fairly quickly. He's a very smart dog and I think he'd figure out not to bite the hand that feeds him absent several meals from "mom." He knows that the few weeks my husband is home he is the Alpha, but like My Big Fat Greek Wedding- "The men may be the head of the house but the women are the neck and they can turn the head anyway they want." He'll obey dad, but he knows who the neck is, and he knows he's in a world of hurt because "mom" nearly always defers to dad and God help him when I do. My dog very well knows his order in the pack- kind of a "wait till your father gets home" scenario.
I have a contact with GSD rescue in Arizona if you need it. Its only a few hours from LA.
It sounds like a few Freepers have offered to talk to you about giving your dog a good home. I hope one of them works out.
I think you misdirected your post. I do not have the dog, it's the poster before me.
A few years ago a neighbor had a German Shepherd that needed to go to a good home. No rescues would take him as they were "full."
My Aunt contacted the local authorities and they came out to do an evaluation. As far as we know he ended up working for the Canadians on the border.
But maybe this link will help find a rescue:
You can click on "Private reply" under any post by pops88 and can contact her by private messaging.
Bumping your thread & hoping that a FReeper's offer to take your dog will work out. He's a very nice looking dog.
You obviously love him.
I feel for you.
Best of Luck
And what would you do if you were told you had to move overseas in 4 days? Should I leave my husband? My dog is at my side all day long except the few hours I run errands. Like I dont already have a dagger in my heart.
Outside of crippling social detractions, he sounds like a wonderful animal in the home.
No way I could take him even if you could get him to the East Coast, so I hope you find the right home for the guy.
I had a visiting friend bring her mini-Aussie, a happy little soul who was way more interested in chasing a thrown ball than in being petted or loved on by me. My formerly sweet, playful lab turned into a hateful, snarling beast. All we could figure is she wanted to make sure the newbie wouldn't steal her status and make her the lowest of now three instead of two dogs. Kinda sad how we had to keep her & the visitor separate for the whole weekend while my dominant dog ignored the drama.
Blessings, and the best of all things as your family begins life in a new land.
"One could take a few days out of ones busy schedule to take care of what needs to be done, like finding a good home for a loved family member."
That's exactly what I'm trying to do. I got 4 hours of sleep last night and that was sitting up on the couch.
"Theres no law saying you have to move at the same time as your husband....I hear there are several flights a day to world-wide destinations."
You have no clue what my husband does or why flights to world wide destinations isn't an option.
"It seems all your alternative solutions involve abandonment or euthanasia."
Well should I be wishing for some magic fairy to show up to take him to live with My Little Pony?
"That dagger in your heart is guilt because youre not going about this the right way. While seeking help from everyone, youve thrown in the threat that unless someone comes forward the dog will be disposed of. This is what I find offensive."
No, the dagger is having to give up a beloved friend because he can't go with me and the reality of the situation is that my options indeed are that limited. I'm really glad you live in a perfect world. I don't.
Now you've done it, he looks like my Jerry who passed away 5 years ago. He had some of the same issues you describe with your GSD which fortunately we were able to work through. He became a wonderful protector of our family as a result. I'm here in IL, wish I could help. Others have given you good advice to seek out good GSD Rescue's or no-kill shelters. A dog as you describe will find a good home, rest assured of that.
Also, kind Freepers, while I've been freaking out and not thinking very straight, have actually been helpful by providing links to no kill shelters and groups I haven't heard of. It was my assumption that if I had to take my precious pup to a shelter that they'd euthanize him because of his aggression issues. You have absolutely no idea how much I love my dog and what he means to me, but it's the internet so feel free to sit at your keyboard and say hurtful things rather than try to help. You don't have to see the tears I've been crying the last two days.
HAVE YOU EVEN CONTACTED ANY FREEPERS WILLING TO HELP YOU? HAVE YOU CONTACTED ANY RESCUE GROUPS? And what's with the "four" days to pack up? No, none of us has a clue as to why you have to be rushed out of the country with such short notice & with no plan in place. What about family members? Friends? Neighbors? This whole story sounds weird especially since you believe there are no options left. From the other posts it's obvious this dog is going to be put down as this seems to be the direction you're moving to. Is this plea on FR an attempt to soothe your troubled soul or are you really trying to find this dog a home. Seems there are several alternatives out there without having this dog killed.
Could you tell us moore about this beutiful dog. What happens when visitors come to the house? Is he aggressive to them? What happens when you take him to the vet? Does he have to be muzzled? Could he not be muzzled during training? There are many unanswered questions & solutions for someone that could adopt him. I'm sure a FReeper would not adopt him for the purpose of abusing him.
I am miles away -but would take him in a heartbeat if I could. We had a GSD years ago that was a beloved member of our family until he went to Rainbow Bridge.
Have you contacted any of the Freepers who have asked you about your dog?
Don't be an ass. This is a fair bit more than a "change of plans", this is a complete and total disruption of someone's life with zero warning and zero alternative.
They're trying, at least, and with enough scolding and shaming the next person in a fix might well decide to "quietly deal with the problem" without trying rather than be shredded.
I don't post here as much as I used to... but thought I'd add my two cents.
You have a lot going on apparently, a very short time frame and a dog who would be very difficult to place even if you had all the time in the world.
All of those who are pleading with you not to euthanize this dog and giving you opinions about how lots of GSD people and police depts would love to take this dog are glossing over the very critical parts of your posts that indicate he has severe social and behavior issues. Police and military working dogs aren't loose cannons with personality problems. A stable, balanced temperament is perhaps the most important criteria for these dogs.
Your dog needs to go to someone really skilled with dog behavior and dog training, who also have the time and interest in rehabbing a broken or defective personality. Those people already have dogs, usually. And those involved in rescue are full up, just with easy-going happy, balanced dogs who should be easy to place.
Unless you already knew of a good home in your personal contacts who know the dog, 4 days is just not long enough to search out, check out, and make arrangements that would not just further traumatize this dog. Taking an unstable dog and putting him on a plane to go meet some stranger at the other end sounds like a disaster to me, and an end much worse than your loving arms and a kind veterinarian... Perhaps one who would allow you to pre-sedate him before bringing him in, if he doesn't cope with outside situations well... or better yet, would come to your place to do it.
I don't think you would be wrong to euthanize this dog. It's not the worst outcome. Ending up stressed out from a hastily-made decision to ship him somewhere far from the very sheltered environment he's been in, sounds like the worse outcome, to me.
My two cents.
It would NOT be an option for me. This dog has lived in this world & is & has been able to cope. I don't believe that he is a hopeless case to train.
The owner did NOT say he is a viscious beast!!
I think you should quit getting dogs if you have to move so often.
Dont be an ass. This is a fair bit more than a change of plans, this is a complete and total disruption of someones life with zero warning and zero alternative.
Then get in your car, right now, and go get this dog. And if you have some reason you can't, don't hold someone else to your standards that are very easy for you to dictate, from a distance.
'Aldawin. And a small bit of trivia- my 13 year old, who had been home schooled, was taking German her first semester at UNLV and decided to give him a German name. We later discovered it means old friend.'
Sorry, I have to comment! (I know it's irrelevent, but...I can't help myself!)
"Alt(e)" and its variants means old (never a D substitute), but friend is Freund(e). Doesn't strike me as German at all. Never heard of such a name, either, in German itself or German dogs.
Right!!! YOU are the only one here allowed to do that!!
A follow up to my earlier post, because I have to admit that I high expectations of my own, that I hold animal owners to.
And that is to keep the animals in our care well, and deal with whatever issues they have to the best of our ability, till the end. I've taken in my share of rescued/lost/unwanted high-maintenance dogs, and rescued/unwanted/high maintenance horses.
And I saw them through to the end. Till the day I could no longer do that. And then I was there for the end. It's not the worst thing in the world. Sometimes it's the best thing, for your life, and theirs.
You have to weigh the chances of this dog finding something that you can guarantee is just exactly the the right home, in the next 3 days. A home where the dog will not be a danger to people or other animals, a home who has not just the right intentions, but the right skill and environment to keep this from going very wrong.
And weigh that against the peace of being there till the end so you know he wasn't hurt, and he didn't go on to hurt someone else, because in haste, a bad decision was made.
OK - fine. See my last.
How is he able to manage visits to the vet? There are usually other dogs there when I take my dogs & unless you take him several times in just a few months, the people there are 'strangers' to him.
Hair! "Welcome back"!
I appreciate your post.
Thanks :~)
We still can't edit our typos out here, once posted... grrr...
I am not dictating she needs to do anything, her life is dictating that.
I'm simply telling her that euthanizing him isn't the worst outcome, or anything she should feel guilty about, if she can't find a really good outcome she knows is the right match.
Can you guarantee this dog will be safe, and everyone around the dog will be safe, for the rest of his life if she gives it away to someone else? You can't.
There is only one way to guarantee that, and that is to do it yourself.
Many vets either have separate entrances, or will ensure no dogs/people are waiting when the subject dog arrives. My sister has had to deal with dog-aggression from her male GS many times, so things like that are what they do. As for people-aggression (or at least vet-aggression), vets have to deal with this alot. They may simply ask her to put on a muzzle before she even gets there.
You obviously don't understand classified info. There is such a thing. I'm assuming so I am not pushing the issue. They cannot tell. In fact, she probably is not allowed to know.
You really should ignore these jerks, at least for now. Don't waste time on them that can be spent packing and looking for help.
Incidentally, I just posted on that German Shepherd pedigree site forum (it's world-wide). We'll see if I get anything, hopefully without snarky holier-than-thou comments.
If I didn't have a very expensive high-maintenance GS allergic to everything, and a little 4yo boy who is too used to big dogs, not to mention much closer, I might consider it myself. I wouldn't promise he'd be here forever, but I'd promise at least to "foster" him until he could get another home or into a rescue org.
BTW, please I hope you contact the several FReepers in a row who said they might help. Also, do you have any friends or family nearby that would help?
Yes, let's create a situation where some *other* person will appear that solves this problem. Then I don't have to, you don't have to, someone else will. Just like magic :~)
Must be nice. :~)

Did you know Michigan State has not played in the NCAA baseball tournament since 1979? Well, the current Spartans are 21-8 despite two bad home losses to Central Michigan and Oakland within the last week. MSU is 5-1 in the Big Ten, atop the standings heading to Ohio State for three games this weekend.
Not only could MSU win the Big Ten title but the Spartans could get a McLane Stadium first round berth. That would be something considering the program's sorry past of 31 years without an NCAA tournament bid. It's a young MSU team but the league isn't very good, as usual. The Big Ten has no teams ranked in the top 25, again. Opportunity is there and it's a reasonable goal to shoot for considering the start the Spartans have mustered. But they need to try and avoid the bad losses to the non-conference teams they suffered in the last week.

Introducing BKeeney Shorts
BKeeney Shorts is a Reporting Tool for Xojo using classes. You can display them in a print preview, send to a printer, export it to HTML, or export it to PDF (if you are using the MonkeyBread Software DynaPDF plugin).
The classes work on Mac OS X and Windows desktop and console applications. It might work in Linux but we're not supporting it simply due to the number of Linux distributions to support.
The following basic drawing elements are available:
Text, Line, Oval, Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Text, RTF Text (desktop only), Image
All of these elements can be used in any combination anywhere on a page, group, or in a document. Each page can be a different size and orientation.
Auto Line Height Adjustments
New in version 1.1 is the ability to have Text objects expand vertically to fit the text in the block. The new AutoHeightAdjust property is all you need to set to get this to work. Whenever you, or the rendering classes, request the bounds of the text object the text height is calculated. By adding an AutoHeightAdjust Text object to a GroupItem you automatically grow the GroupItem too! This makes it really easy to create 'rows' of variable height data.
The auto height adjustment isn't perfect, though. One drawback is speed. We recommend that you limit the number of Text objects that get the auto height adjust set to true.
Report Designer
New in version 1.5 is the BKS Shorts Report Designer. This is a set of Xojo classes that allow you to embed a report designer into your own Xojo projects. Yes, that's right, you can embed a full features report designer into your end desktop application. Now, instead of hours to create a basic report via code you can be done in minutes.
Among the highlights of the Report Designer:
- Connects to any database that Xojo natively supports
- Easy formatting of all text objects
- XojoScript programming at the band level that allows runtime decisions based on data
- An intuitive interface for Xojo developers
- Works on Mac and Windows desktop apps (Linux isn't supported but should work)
- Allows formatting of numbers to whatever the Xojo Format method allows
- Use the Designer as is, or make your own modifications. You get the FULL SOURCE CODE with it!
Overview of How BKS Shorts Report Works
Integrating the Report Designer Into Your Project
Xojo Webinar on BKeeney Shorts
Create Unusual Reports
BKeeney Shorts allows developers to create reports that would be impossible (or very hard at the very least) to create in other reporting environments and even in the Shorts Report Designer. Shorts allows you to span rows with any of the elements. Matter of fact, Shorts really has no idea what a 'row' means since you get to control every aspect of printing.
The GroupItem makes it easy to group your report elements into logical groups. Perhaps your Header and Footer elements are groups. Perhaps a recordset row is a group. It really is up to you and your reporting requirements.
Many reporting tools offer SubReports, or the ability to add wildly different type of reports into one bigger report. Shorts doesn't support Subreports only because it doesn't need to. Again, because you control every aspect of the report you can code it to your exact specifications.
Do it With Style
BKeeney Shorts makes heavy use of inherited styles. Create one text style for the Document and each page and each text element inherits that style. No need to perform tedious formatting on each element. Of course, you can override any style and clone styles, when you need.
The Benefits of Coding Reports
We'll be honest, coding your reports can be slower than many traditional reporting tools. We think there are quite a few advantages to coding reports than having to rely upon a tool to do them.
You control everything. Don't like placement or the way it page breaks? You can change that because you have the ability to change it. Perhaps your users want to create a report in Portrait mode and not in the Landscape mode you had anticipated. Using some simple math you can create reports that handle either situation.
BKeeney Shorts is fast. We've generated 24,000 page reports and have calculated that on a main thread we can generate about 300 pages a second. More than fast enough for most developers needs. And since you have control over how many pages are created you can exit out in abnormal conditions (really, who wants a 24,000 page report?).
Unlike some other reporting tools for Xojo we're not going away. We stand behind our product and we offer support. We use this product in our own products and our own consulting clients. If you need help and support we'll be there to help.
What does the future bring?
We use Shorts in all of our desktop and web consulting projects that require reports. We plan on enhancing the product based on feedback and on our own needs. There is no roadmap, nor timeline, for new releases and updates, nor a guarantee that future updates are free.
If you have a need for something that Shorts doesn't already do contact us.
Licenses and Pricing
BKeeney Shorts comes in only one package. The Pro License is $300 and all classes are unencrypted and available for your modification.
Note, all sales of the Shorts are final (no returns). Please read the user guide and understand all the requirements for Shorts before purchasing. If you have any questions, please contact us!

Marquez Forces Nacho's Hand, Beristain Dumps Maidana
By Jhonny Gonzalez
The WBA/WBO lightweight champion of world, Juan Manuel Marquez, has forced the hand of his trainer Nacho Beristain. The very respected trainer had agreed to work with junior welterweight Marcos Maidana, who recently broke away from trainer Miguel Diaz. Marquez was not happy with Nacho training Maidana, but Maidana's adviser Sebastian Contursi thought an understanding had been reached with Marquez. It appears not.
Two hours before Maidana was set to arrive at Beristain's gym in Mexico, he was advised to go home because Marquez would not allow the new training union to take place. Maidana and his team have wasted no time in getting a new helping hand. They hired Rudy Perez, who previously trained Marco Antonio Barrera - the biggest career rival of Erik Morales. Maidana faces Morales on April 9 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"We arrived in Mexico City and were supposed to train with Nacho but two hours before going to the gym he said he couldn't do it. Nacho said Marquez wouldn't allow him to train me. It seems that Marquez is jealous and scared of the possibility of facing me some day. Nacho didn't even bother to talk to me. He only did it with my advisor. He just left us abandoned," Maidana said.
"Why did he make us travel to Mexico? Not very pro from Nacho, right? But luckily Mexico is a land of boxing and here we'll stay, to train in the heights. My new trainer is Rudy Perez, who knows how to beat Erik Morales."
Marquez is the biggest diva in the game lmao.... His career is becoming something of a soap opera lmao.... Such a bitter little man :lol1:Comment by Hougigo on 10-14-2013

Forgive me if this has already been posted here.
I happened to stumble across a post at Feminist Mormon Housewives asking LDS women to share their thoughts and concerns about polygamy, specifically polygamy in eternity rather than in this life. I know from other posts here that it is a concern to many of us.
I thought FMH ought to hear from women who aren't regular visitors to their site as well as from women who are, so I decided to share their request here.

You missed it This great deal for Big Bear Vacations is over. But don't despair, we've got more great deals every day.

Big Bear Vacations
$400 Lodging Credit Toward a Two-Night Stay or Longer in One of More Than 300 Cabins and Homes Around Big Bear Lake and a $50 Gas Card
Big Bear Lake, Southern California's premier four-season playground, is in the midst of seasonal change. This means the absolute best of both snow sports and spring action, and this week's Escape from Big Bear Vacations puts you in the thick of it all.
For $225, you'll receive a $400 lodging credit for a stay of two nights or more—plus $50 in gas—in one of more than 300 cabins and homes around the lake. Some of these fully equipped dens come with pool tables, game rooms, and spacious decks, while others—with wood-burning fireplaces and outdoor hot tubs—make cozy hideaways.
Awaken each day in your spacious abode, and sip a cup of coffee while you make breakfast in the kitchen. Then hit the slopes at Big Bear Mountain Resorts, offering two distinct winter resorts, each with its own personality and attributes. A single lift ticket provides access to both Snow Summit and Bear Mountain, which are located just two miles apart and connected via a free inter-resort express shuttle service.
Each resort offers a variety of diverse terrain, providing skiers and snowboarders with a combined 438 developed acres, 26 lifts (including four high-speed detachable quads) and more than 55 runs. Snow Summit serves up a traditional alpine atmosphere with lots of intermediate terrain and mainstream cruising for skiers and snowboarders, while Bear Mountain offers a youthful vibe that attracts riders from around the world.
Come spring, head to the soaring nine-hole Bear Mountain Golf Course, or if backcountry pursuits are your bent, bike or hike the lush 600,000 acres of San Bernardino National Forest land that surrounds the lake—a ride up the mile-long Scenic Sky Chair on Snow Summit offers a bird's-eye view of it all. And with more than 300 days of sunshine each year, plus about 3,000 surface acres of water, Big Bear is a fisherman's paradise this time of year.
At dusk, head to a secluded lake spot for a romantic evening stroll. One night watching the sun dip below the horizon, lying under the stars (away from city lights), and reveling in your refreshing day of outdoor play will turn you into a believer in the powers of Big Bear.

If you're looking for anime similar to Eve no Jikan, you might like these titles. All recommendations are made by Anime-Planet users like you!
Witness the true beginning of the Matrix: how men created the machines and how those machines stood up against their masters, and the effects of the great war that waged between them, which in the end led to the fall of mankind. Watch the ship Osiris and its efforts to warn the remaining humans of the imminent attack; follow a champion who happens to break free from the Matrix; explore the exploitation of a glitch in the overall system; observe the story of the Kid and how he was found by Neo; travel with an investigator who tracks the well-known hacker Trinity; and learn the secrets of the Matrix in other wondrous ways.
3 votes
I agree
Both anime deal with machines wishing to be treated like equals by their human masters. Animatrix is much, much more dark and disturbing, so if you like the ideas presented in Animatrix but were turned off by the brutality, try Time of Eve.
You will like one if you like the other, both involve Sci-Fi aspects as well as machine sentience, where Animatrix emphasises the worst possible outcome being the war between man and machine, Time of Eve focuses on the relationships between man and machine if machines were able to achieve free will.
they are polar opposites of each other, but deal with the same issue: robots and how they should be treated/controlled.
A young woman quietly falls to the earth, escorted by a solitary crow. This sort of dream, as many other before have dreamed, comes just before being reborn as a Haibane, a charcoal-winged angel. On the outskirts of the walled-in city lies Old Home, a haven for Haibane to study, live, and learn, while waiting for their chance to ascend to the heavens and escape the confines of their new world. Rakka is the newest inhabitant of Old Home who wants nothing more than to remember her past and discover the secrets of her kind. Together with Reki, Kuu and plenty of other new friends, Rakka will laugh, explore, and search for the meaning of their existence in the process.

I agree
There is a general feeling that is shared by both of these series. Part of this may be from the similarities in the color pallets, and lighting that set the mood. Not only that, but both anime deal with people who are different and are trying to fit into society. They are light and silly on the outside, but deal with serious subjects on the inside. Haibane Renmei and Time of Eve are anime you would not want to miss.
Although they have completely different plots, both are slow-paced and introspective. They both make good use of silence as well.
Both of these shows are totally amazing. More concretely, both Haibane Renmei and Time of Eve are slow-paced, dialog-driven and concentrate mainly on the development of characters and relationships. The depth of the characters in each show is complemented by the detail of the world-building, resulting in a highly engaging experience.
In the name of a good and healthy lifestyle, the Good For You Party has banned sweets, pastries and chocolate in favor of nutritious substitutes such as fruits and vegetables. Smudger has to watch his father's pastry shop fail under this new government rule, but when Smudger and his friend Huntly discover a secret cocoa shop in an abandoned mine, they realize that there might just be hope for sweet tooths everywhere!
2 votes
I agree
This might seem like an odd recommendation - call it a gut feeling. Sure, Eve no Jikan is sci fi to the core and Chocolate Underground is more of a whimsical tale aimed at younger folks, but both involve a secret underground, interesting characters, and just have the same feel. It's hard to come up with something tangible to say, so just try it on for size.
Both anime feature a secret cafe hidden from the rest of the world, and the characters involved in the network to keep their secret cafe alive and thriving. The two anime have a very similar, friendly feeling, despite the all or nothing cercumstances.
In the year 2020, humans live alongside robots and interact in a variety of ways, from taking fast food orders to attending school together. In Tokyo, Mako and her friends live day to day and experience the impact of technology, whether they're being alerted to an impending earthquake or looking through augmented reality lenses.
2 votes
I agree
The world presented to us in both shows is a future where humans live in constant contact with artificially intelligent machines. The thoughts/actions of the main characters in both shows allude to deeper questions about the meaning of human-ness in relation to the social roles of androids. Computer Kakumei presents a more colorful and hopeful look at how androids enhance life and create new possibilities for interaction, while Time of Eve embraces a darker vision of what a robot-filled future might look like.
Both titles revolve around the societal impact of robots/androids and how our lives may be affected by them. Eve no Jikan is definitely the stronger of the two.
Hal and Kurumi used to be lovers with dreams and aspirations, until one day a tragic plane crash tore them apart forever. To help mend his grieving granddaughter's heart, an old man sends his android, Q01, to take Hal's place and help Kurumi move on. But doing so won't be easy, for Kurumi is resistant, and the android Hal will slowly come to realize the truth about the pair's relationship...
2 votes
I agree
Hal and Eve no Jikan both explore the emotional bonds between humans and adroids. Both contain beautiful animation and a similar delicate emotional atmosphere. If you liked one, the other will definitely give you more food for thought.
Both have a serious take on the android-drama genre, both have lush animation styles, and both will tug at your heart strings. They are, in many ways, a perfect pairing for a cyborg double feature.

HOPKINTON, Mass. (AP) — The driver of a tractor trailer has died of injuries he suffered when his vehicle rolled over on a ramp from Route 495 to Route 90 in Hopkinton.
State police say the crash around 1 p.m. Monday caused extensive damage to the trailer's cab, trapping 59-year-old Feliz Piedade of East Providence, R.I., inside. Piedade was rushed to a hospital in Worcester where he was later pronounced dead.
Route 90 westbound was closed for several hours. The ramps were reopened at about 3:45 p.m. and the truck was removed by 8 p.m.
State police are investigating the cause of the crash.

I want to change to a new URL using the same blog, same web hosting space. The only change would be the URL in which I'll need to simply fiddle with the DNS in order to "point" the new URL at my webspace.
Question: I'm new to WP and while I have installed it at my current URL, will I need to do anything after pointing my NEW URL at the site? I don't see why I would but I'm checking just in case.

Doesn't Hank's newest form kind of ruin the point of who he is? I thought Hank was the amazing fighter who used the environment and weapons to attack Super-powered enemies...not use superpowers and a scorpion arm...
Also, am I the only one who misses the guy with the hat from the last one?
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Yet more amazing work
Just gets more and more interesting. The new characters including the giant guys. The giant weapons, amazing detail, the suspensful music to suit it all, looking forward to the next one :D
Rated 5 / 5 stars
The clown started as a minor character bent on revenge for Hank his insanity fueling the improbable turned into the iconic psycho we all know as Tricky but in the end he left it behind and or killed The Auditer for more revenge or to save Hank you decide
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Just wondering...
What's become of Hank? This awesomeness. :D Thank you for making this series!! I was concerned that the Clown was gone but lucky me, his seemingly coming back :3 Can't wait for part 11.

L-Arginine hydrochloride (L-ArgHCl) was found to be an effective enhancer for in vitro protein refolding more than two decades ago. A detailed understanding of the mechanism of action, by which L-ArgHCl as co-solvent is capable to effectively suppress protein aggregation, while protein stability is preserved, has remained elusive. Concepts for the effects of co-solvents, which have been established over the last decades, were found to be insufficient to completely explain the effects of L-ArgHCl on protein refolding.In this paper we present data, which clearly establish that L-ArgHCl acts on the equilibrium solubility of the native model protein rPA, while for S-carboxymethylated rPA (IAA-rPA) that served as a model protein for denatured protein states, equilibrium solubilities could not be obtained. Solid to solute free transfer energies for native rPA were lowered by up to 14 kJ mol(-1) under the tested conditions. This finding is in marked contrast to a previously proposed model in which L-ArgHCl acts as a neutral crowder which exclusively has an influence on the stability of the transition state of aggregation. The effects on the apparent solubility of IAA-rPA as well as on the aggregation kinetics of all studied protein species that were observed in the present work could tentatively explained within the framework of a nucleation-aggregation scheme, in which L-ArgHCl exerts a strong effect on the pre-equilibria leading to formation of the aggregation seed.

Unfolded Protein Response
A cellular response to environmental insults that cause disruptions in PROTEIN FOLDING and/or accumulation of defectively folded protein in the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. It consists of a group of regulatory cascades that are triggered as a response to altered levels of calcium and/or the redox state of the endoplasmic reticulum.

If the place went bankrupt, you can contact the bankruptcy court and have yourself added to the list of unsecured creditors. For $200 it would probably not be worth it. Chances are that you'd get back a few pennies on the dollar, if anything at all. That's one of the chances you take when you give a deposit to a business. If they go bankrupt while holding your money, chances are that you'll never see it again.
"I also bought a motor off of them summer 09 and have a 3 year warranty on that. So now what happens?"
That goes away too. A warranty is only as good as the company that stands behind it. I know how you feel. I spent $20K on a specialty engine from a well known manufacturer and they went bankrupt 2 yrs. into my 5 yr. warranty. Ouch!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Regulator hints at further clampdown on bank bonuses
The European Parliament could further limit the variable remuneration to banking staff on the back of a survey by the European Banking Authority that showed banks across the continent are failing to align the calculation of employee bonuses with the risks they take.
Lenders use "underdeveloped techniques" to link pay with risk-taking and lack consistent tools for selecting which workers should be subject to bonus regulations, the EBA said in its report laying out the results of a survey it conducted on remuneration guidelines.
The EBA's predecessor, the Committee of European Banking Supervisors, set bonus rules in 2010 that limited upfront cash pay-outs to about one quarter of the total bonus to ensure incentives were linked to the long-term performance of the firm.
Research from the EBA revealed huge disparities in bonus sizes across the region and big differences in enforcing the existing pay rules, with the regulator noting "very high" ratios of variable pay to fixed pay.
The report adds that lawmakers in the European Parliament may seek a ban on banker bonuses that exceed fixed pay as part of a draft law implementing the most recent Basel capital rules.
The report said: "If the potential variable remuneration is the dominating part of the total remuneration, this could incentivise staff to take too much risk in order to assure a certain minimum pay level.
"Some supervisors informally communicate to their institutions a certain numerical maximum ratio of variable to fixed that they consider as appropriate; this allows them to obtain a clear level playing field in the whole sector under their supervision."
According to the EBA survey, some bankers were receiving bonuses about 10 times larger than their base salary.
The data show that the median of the average ratios is 122 per cent for executives and 139 per cent for other risk-takers such as traders. The highest reported values of these maximum ratios were 429 per cent for executives and 940 per cent for the other identified staff.
The ratios banks use to calculate variable pay versus fixed salary "tend to be high," the EBA said in the report. It said: "The criteria by which institutions decide on the ratios in practice are not always clear."
EU-wide limits adopted in 2010 on upfront cash payments are supposed to apply to top managers and anyone else who can have a significant effect on the bank's business.
The EBA found that 10 per cent of bank employees are caught by deferral rules in some countries but fewer than 1 per cent in others.

Don't Let Cats And Dogs Around Your Marijuana Garden
Really? You didn't think your beloved pets were worth a spot in this section? Hell, they hold a spot in your life, so why not here? While your family pets can be a huge help in running off birds and mammalian intruders, they can conversely pose a threat to your cannabis plot. Unless well trained, they have a propensity to choose your lovingly tended gardens as their defecation spots. Perhaps they suppose they are honoring your efforts. More likely they are marking the territory as their own.
Domestic animal poop is not recommended for compost piles due to the parasites that may be present in the stool. Fido and Kitty's poop is toxic to compost. That being said, it can only be assumed that defecating in the cannabis patch will cause more harm in addition to having trampled upon plants.
There is no viable evidence that domestic cats and dogs are attracted to marijuana plants. However, they both have a habit of wallowing through gardens, damaging plants and in the case of cats, pissing in your plant bed, regardless of its contents. Download my free marijuana grow bible for more tips about growing marijuana.
Cat urine has a high concentration of ammonia and nitrogen which can burn your plants. If you find your (or someone else's) cat pissing in your garden, give the soil a good douse of water to dilute the urine.
The best defense against your cats and dogs destroying your marijuana garden is to train them to stay out of them. Yes, this can be done; even with cats. Sprinkling hot chili pepper over the soil can help deter them from entering. The benefit will be two-fold, as it will deter other pests as well.
Make sure your cats have a clean litter box in the house, or if they are strictly outdoor cats, have a sandy area they can claim as their own. Keep it clean or they'll go elsewhere to relieve themselves; cats are very persnickety when it comes to cleanliness and their potty areas. Tip from Rhonda; Lay chicken wire down on top of your soil across the planting bed. Why? Because cats disdain walking on chicken wire. Using wire cutters, you'll be able to open up pockets in the chicken wire sufficiently large for installing your plants.
Dogs are diggers. Give them an area where they can get their jollies. If you can't keep them from areas you don't want dug up, keep them on a lead when outside. Give them enough room to roam but not enough to do no harm to your gardens.
If you want to start growing, download my free grow guide and order some marijuana seeds. All top quality marijuana seeds are available in my marijuana seed shop. We ship seeds to the US, CA and many other countries. For any growing related question please visit the marijuana support page.

Raised A Pad While Making Xbox - Retro Controller Mod
Posted 04 February 2011 - 01:45 AM
is there any other way to connect TP67 (the "A" button). the flip side with the pad for the A B Y X just has a black pad. kinda like a sticker over the pcb.
Posted 04 February 2011 - 03:38 AM
Posted 04 February 2011 - 06:18 AM
all i can say is lump it full of solder to make sure the traces are connected to the pad. then you will have to solder onm the other side. if thats not an option, follow the trace that goes to the pad back to the next/last component and solder it there.
good luck.
Posted 04 February 2011 - 11:38 PM
i should mention i dont care if the actual controller is function-able at the end of this or not.
should i dremel out the hole? would that help?
Posted 05 February 2011 - 06:10 AM
1. Get a good nights sleep and look at this after a good breakfast.
I know that sounds retarded, but you will fuck something up if you keep working on this now. I've done many stupid things with electronics when tired and frustrated. If its any consolation, this happened to me on my first attempt with this controller mod as well.
2. Look for a trace - the line on the left leading from the pad you pulled up looks correct.
3. Get a fiberglass brush, you may be able to find one in a hobby store, and gently brush part of the trace till you see silver. Make a size about the same as the pad you pulled up.
4. Now get some flux and glob it on there, glob some flux on your wire and then tin it with solder. For good measure, put some more flux on the tinned wire.
5. Place the wire down on the exposed trace and heat it up with your solder pen nice and gently. The solder should flow onto the exposed trace and make a good joint.
6. After a second or two, very gently check to see if its secure. It should be. Do not pull too hard. I did that after successfully modding my first PSX in the 90s and made it an instant fuck up. Don't be me.
You should be using lots of wire so these pads don't pull up because of tension. Hot glue is also your friend. Once you've tested the controller, I usually put some hot glue on each soldered point.
If you are careful, you can speed up the drying process of the hot glue by getting a compressed air gun, turning it upside down and spraying the glue AFTER YOU SAFELY REMOVE THE SOLDERING GUN AND ANYTHING FLAMMABLE FROM THE WORK AREA. I cannot stress enough how explosive those cans are.
By the way, Why are you doing the DB-25 mod? I told you to start with the DB-15 - its easier and it will do all the major console pads - SNES, NES, Genesis, etc.
Anyway, looks like your learning, grasshopper. Last thing, get a solder fume extractor so you don't give yourself brain damage.
Good luck!
Posted 06 February 2011 - 01:21 AM
im using a db25 cause its all i had lying around. i bought a 2 female to 1 male vga cable to cut up but it only had 10 wires in it. then i cut up an other vga cable i had laying around and it only had 5 wires and 4 wire tin wrapped things. but they both have 15 holes or pins on the ends. im confused.
maybe someone can point me to a cheap place to buy 15 wire vga cables to cut up for this?
will waring just a respirator i.e. a face mask be sufficient? cause i don't have any air flow at my work bench. and i am worried about it. i already have asthma.
Posted 06 February 2011 - 06:32 PM
If this happens, don't get frustrated, the next set will be that much better for it. I would also try putting this one back together, even if its broken. I know I had some issues closing my D-25 controller back up because of the bulk of the wires.
Also, experiment with hot glue. I used to use 2 hits on each wire, 1 about an inch away from the solder point and then one directly on the solder point. This (I think) helped avoid stress pulls on the solder point.
Anyway, yes, VGA cables are built cheap these days. I ran into the same issue. Get these:
Its a DB-15 extension cable. (DB-15 = 15 wires) That's basically what I got, but beige. The ones I got were black, but they no longer seem to stock those unfortunately.
They have the same thing at MonoPrice, but its a bit more expensive - but maybe with shipping it will be less:
A respirator will most definitely help, but I would also get a solder fume extractor, especially if you have asthma. This is the cheapest I could find:
Don't cheap out on your health! Good luck!
Edited by DarthMingus, 06 February 2011 - 06:36 PM.
Posted 06 February 2011 - 11:28 PM
and is this the same kinda of smoke extractor: http://www.amazon.co...-...7423&sr=8-9 ? its a couple bucks cheaper.
there is pics of the pcb in the first post. or is the trace on the other side?
EDIT: oh and another question. do you like to use low or higher heat for this?
Edited by dballs442, 06 February 2011 - 11:55 PM.
Posted 07 February 2011 - 04:24 PM
Good find on the fume extractor!
I turn the dial about halfway up on my soldering station - I think its 400 F. With soldering heat, you mainly have to worry about damaging resistors and these controller's don't have those from what I remember. I would still experiment and find the right heat for melting solder and creating good joints with your gun. You don't want to overdue it. Also, make sure you clean up the flux. Unless you have the no-clean kind.
Posted 07 February 2011 - 08:33 PM
the one on the other side is under the black sticker. which is hard to pull off. i didnt want to force it. dont know if that will mess anything up. i believe its the highlighted lead here.
i also marked where the trace leads to. dont know if that helps. or i might have marked the wrong spot. now that i look at it. but you know what i mean. where that trace leads to.
