Make the Rink Pink!
So this weekend Zeta Tau Alpha went to go cheer on the mens' hockey team and to promote our new and exciting event Make The Rink Pink!
If you haven't heard about Make the Pink Rink yet it is a day dedicated to raising money for the Rochester General's Lipson Cancer Center and the Susan G. Komen Cancer Foundation. There will be pink RIT hockey jerseys that will be auctioned, pink tiger t-shirts sold, and we are hoping to fill the whole stadium with pink. It's going to be an amazing event and I am soo excited to be apart of it. If you are interested in going it's going to take place on January 30th 2pm for the womens' game and 7pm for the mens' game. Also, if you want to purcahse a shirt look around campus for flyers, look for any Zetas (or me!) and we will be more than happy to get you a shirt. There will also be tables set up in the Student Alumni Union Jan.25th through the 29th selling shirts for $8 which will all go the the Susan G. Komen Foundation. If you miss any of the those ways don't worry! We will be selling the shirts at the game. Don't be the only one not in pink!
Anyways, the game was SO much fun! I haven't been to any hockey games in awhile and I forgot about how much fun they are. I love the Corner Crew chants, the making fun of the other teams and the crazy cheering fans. By the way we kicked butt Friday, we scored in the first 3 mins and won the game 5-2 against Holy Cross. We than beat them again the next day 2-0. We are pretty awesome. I'm so excited for the Make the Rink Pink game! The hockey players will be in pink that day so I hope you will be too!
If you want more information on how to help raise money for the cause. how you can purchase a shirt, or just for more information go to http://www.rit.edu/studentaffairs/pink/

Re: Greek food, with love
Try this trick to turn you ordinary weeknight chicken soup into a special greek treat. Make it an avgolemono (greek for egg and lemon). Start with your basic chicken stock and add whatever pasta you like - I prefer orzo.
Use 1 lemon and 1 egg per quart of broth. Make sure the lemon and the egg are room temperature. In a sturdy bowl beat the egg until smooth and add the lemon juice. Now slowly drizzle in hot broth and keep whisking the egg mixture to temper the egg. When the mixture has come up to the same temperature as the stock add the mix into the pot and stir. Strain if necessary. This will thicken and flavor the broth and make it very creamy.

Just looked at your link Ashen. Rofon's method is the same as my in-laws' and they use/used rice rather than pasta (but orzo or risoni might as well be rice given their shape and size).

I responded to that thread. Avgolemono is trial and error to find what suits you. I grew up not liking avgolemono soup. It was just ok. My mother made it with rice and only one egg for an entire stock pot. It didn't do much for me. When I started making it myself I found that by using pasta instead of rice it made the soup thicker and by using more eggs it made it creamier. I use the whole eggs though not just the yolks.
Ashen, if you like avgolemono you might love giouvarlakia. It is chicken avgolemono with the addition of little meatballs. The meatballs are made with:
- 1/2 lb pork 1/2 lb beef ground
- 1 cup raw rice
- bread crumbs
- grated onion
- egg for binder
- lots of chopped fresh mint and parsley.
- salt/pepper
Lower the meatballs gently into the hot stock. They will poach, keep your stock at a low simmer so that the meatballs don't break. Once they have firmed up and cooked through temper the egg/lemon. Don't go skimpy on the mint, it's the most important ingredient.

Re: Greek food, with love
Am I the only one who enjoys greek food?
We had a terrible snow storm here last night, we only got a foot of snow but the winds were blizzard-like. It felt appropriate to make a stew but we didn't want to eat meat. I made a green bean stew and it was marvelous.
In a dutch oven pour in plenty of olive oil. Sweat onions and garlic and chopped tomatoes. Add a few chunks of red skinned potatoes and all the green beans. Season. Slowly simmer, keep it covered and add a little more water if it seems to lose moisture. Stir carefully so as not to break up the potatoes. It should be ready in about an hour, these are stewed green beans not crunchy! Serve with crusty bread. I actually like serving this on top of toasted bread, my own version of "beans and toast"

Re: Greek food, with love
The fava dish is one of my favorites. We had it on Hydra a few years ago and I have been meaning to make it at home ever since. I also love Horta. I really like Greek salad and spanakopita - why not? A Greek friend makes a dish from one of the islands, can't remember which - it's basically an empanada with a buttery yeast dough and the filling is cheese and spinach - top secret recipe, so he won't tell me what's in it, but it's so good, he should market it.
We ate in a restaurant that serves Cretan cuisine in Athens which was excellent. The client who took us ordered and got a big array so we could try many dishes.
I loved the grilled fish we had in Greece, so fresh, simple and the fishmerman's fish soup, forgive me, I don't know the Greek name for it. I also love stuffed peppers with rice and baklava and souvlaki and . . . .
I like feta and Greek oregano and the quality of the olive oil is great in Greece. What also struck me was how the tomatoes tasted like home-grown and they probably were coming right out of the garden of the restaurant owner in some cases.
One of our best memories was having homemade Greek yogurt with fresh strawberries and honey for breakfast, sitting outside at a small cafe in the port of Mikonos. You could see so many star fish and other creatures in those clear waters.
I loved visiting Greece. The first time we went was on our honeymoon to Athens and Mikonos and we toured Delos, we also made it to Delphi and a few other places around the mainland. Greek honey is superb too.
I've wanted to visit Crete, hopefully we will one day. I also would like to see Korfu because of reading about it in Gerald Durrell's books. We glimpsed it from the port from our ferry. I would also like to go to Santorini, but with my recent injury, I am not sure I would like the steep climbs.
I think we had the green bean stew, I just can not remember where. Love it!

Re: Greek food, with love
My in-laws would make the bean dish often. Mainly we'd eat fish (and fish soup using the heads and all- loved it), seafood and lamb, of course. I love spanikopita and the ubiquitous "Greek" salad.
I used to make kourembeides (sp) for Christmas. I really miss Greek Easter. My father-in-law would make a delicious side with chicken livers and walnuts.
Souvlaki eaten from a truck stop on the side of the road on the way to Athens- yum!
Corfu was full of Brits, Germans, Aussies and Kiwis but it was high Summer so the locals had probably fled to make way for/escape from the tourists.
Good times, good food. Thanks for the memories

Re: Greek food, with love
Don't get me wrong, I love spanakopita and greek salad... although in greece it's just known as "salad" lol. But it's a lot like Italy in the sense that all the food is regional.

"Greek" salad as opposed to "other" salad . Makes perfect sense to this "Skippy"

Gun shows and the process of making a purchase
GRAY, Tenn. - Buying a gun doesn't come easily, especially if you are a convicted felon at a gunshow.
That's a fact we learned Sunday at the Appalachian Fairgrounds in Gray.
"Every time you go through a dealer you have to do a background check," says shopper Jesse Burke.
"Some people are approved right away, some people are delayed, some people are denied. I've seen it where people have been denied and law enforcement will come to a show and make arrests if they have warrants on their record," says Laura Meade, employee of 'Shoot Two Thrill'.
News 5 wanted to see just what process was taken, in order for someone to buy a gun.
"21 to have a handgun, 18 for a long gun," Gun Show Manager, Billy Abner tells us.
But, age isn't the only factor. Background checks are also required. The owner of 'Monte's Gun Emporium', Monte Arbanas who walked us through how they do it.
"An average seven minutes for a return," he says.
The first process of doing a background check is providing your driver's license then filling out a form.
"It's required by ATF to fill this out then we use the computer system, then we do a background check to make sure you're not a convicted felon, or shouldn't have a firearm. It also includes mental health issues. The state of Tennessee does that," says Arbanas.
We're told there are no requirements to have a handgun permit, expect for conceal and carrying, but J.C. Harrison with '2nd Amendemnt Enforcer' says, it's a good idea to take a class.
"They're more aware of what's going on, we teach them safety, so if the right person's trained, they're going to take precautions versus someone who's not trained. They're just going to go out and do things they shouln't be doing. Purposefully or accidentally," says Harrison.
Something dealers here say, they are very cautious of.
"No one wants guns to go into the wrong hangs. Everyone in this room wants to make sure everyone's getting it the right way. Law abiding citizens. No one wants to see it happen like it did in Connecticut," says Meade.
Each dealer does a background check, and it goes through TBI, the ATF and the FBI, before it's approved.

Fine. But the premise of this thread is the off field problem (with the law) of a high profile football player, not football.

At the fair, participants can meet historically underutilized business (HUB) vendors who provide products and services to UTSA.
In fiscal year 2007, UTSA spent more than $17.2 million (35.44 percent of total purchases) with HUB vendors, which are minority- and women-owned businesses certified by the state. UTSA ranks sixth among the top 25 historically underutilized business (HUB) programs in the state.

When it comes to student success, two words sum up Pulaski Technical College's attitude:
Dream Big.
And that's exactly what the college will be doing as it works to help more students succeed.
Pulaski Tech is one of 26 colleges nationwide -- and one of only four in Arkansas - recently selected to be a part of Achieving the Dream, a national initiative aimed at helping college's help more students succeed. A total of 84 colleges nationwide have participated in the initiative since 2004.
To show their commitment to the multiyear effort, college leaders on Thursday hosted an "Engagement Party" complete with pastel balloons and tabletops adorned with rose petals and faux diamond rings.
The colleges Dream Team, which includes about 35 administrators, faculty and staff, attended the luncheon in Pulaski Tech's Campus Center Grand Hall to celebrate the initiative's kick-off and begin the work of turning dreams into reality.
What is the dream?
"Put simply, it's helping people finish what they start," said Ann Fellinger, chair of College Studies and co-director of Achieving the Dream at Pulaski Tech.
The initiative focuses particularly on groups of students, including low-income students and students of color, who have traditionally faced barriers to success.
Among the goals are to help students:
- Complete developmental courses and progress to college-credit courses
- Enroll in and complete gatekeeper courses
- Complete courses with a grade of C or better
- Re-enroll from one semester to the next
- Earn certificates and degrees.
Ultimately, the initiative strives to help more students achieve their individual goals, which may include getting a better job, earning a college certificate or degree, or pursuing a bachelor's degree.
The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation is providing local funding.
"This first year is especially important for us," said Dr. Dan F. Bakke, college president. "Funding is not a given. We must prove how we can make this work."
The Dream Team will focus primarily on data collection and analysis during the first year to identify areas of improvement.
"We have big dreams, and being a data-driven college will help us achieve those dreams," said Carol Langston, vice president for college advancement. "In five years, we'll see a huge difference, and we'll be able to show results."
In addition to Co-directors Fellinger and Amy Baldwin, who also serves as the college's professional development coordinator, Langston also recognized the members of the Steering Committee: Cindy Harkey, vice president for student services; Purnell Henderson, vice president for instruction; Rhonda Carroll, director of learning support services; Kellye Mashburn, director of institutional research; Peggy Peterson, Title III director; and Melissa Myers, grant writer.
On Thursday, Dream Team members formed two work teams. The Core Team will look at values, assumptions and systems that nurture and impede student success. The team will consider ways to improve student outcomes and lead the way in setting goals and strategies. Augusta Farver, dean of business, and Cathy Underwood, chair of the Faculty Senate, will serve as team co-captains.
The Data Team will look at data to determine where the college excels and target areas in need of improvement. Data Team co-captains are Kellye Mashburn and Melissa Myers.
Already the Dream Team is laying the foundation for a campus-wide support for the effort.
The initiative will be introduced to full-time faculty and staff at the college's annual Convocation and Professional Development Day on Aug. 13.
All attendees will also be treated to green tie-dyed tee-shirts, sporting Achieving the Dream's "Community Colleges Count" logo on the front and Pulaski Tech's "Dream BIG" in oversized lettering on the back.
During the course of the work, PTC will receive ongoing support from education experts specifically trained to help Achieving the Dream participating schools.
John Cooper, an education consultant and faculty mentor with Walden University's Community College Leadership Program, will serve as a data facilitator. Cooper will assist the Data Team in using data to analyze student needs, monitor progress and evaluate results.
Maria Sheehan, a longtime college educator who has held top leadership posts at South Orange County Community College District and at Modesto Junior College, will serve as a coach. Cooper and Sheehan's first visit to Pulaski Tech is scheduled for Sept. 5-6.

Paris Hilton is late. Really, really late. But nobody is complaining — it's not as if we expected otherwise. The 26-year-old socialite heiress rolled through Boston last Wednesday on a dual mission: first, to promote her new romantic comedy, The Hottie and the Nottie, which most local theaters aren't touching with a 10-foot pole (it opened exclusively in Revere); and second, to accept the Harvard Lampoon's first-ever Woman of the Year award. (Don't confuse this last with Harvard's Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year award, which goes to actresses deemed to have made "a lasting and impressive contribution to the world of entertainment.")
When I finally do meet Paris at the Four Seasons, she answers my questions in a Valley Girl vixen voice, with a languid aplomb that characterizes the way she approaches life — except, perhaps, for that 22-day stint in jail last summer. Smiling a pink-lipped Cheshire Cat smile, wearing a silk wine-colored tunic dress and gray-and-silver heels, she describes herself as "like, a businesswoman," and ruminates on New England's lack of beaches, her shoe collection, and being a brand.
The Hottie and the Nottie was originally set here, but you thought it would be best to move the filming to LA. What's wrong with Boston?
I live in Los Angeles, I run a huge business out there, and I'm constantly having to do meetings. I have 50 things going on at once. So if I was here, I couldn't really do everything. Plus, this movie . . . like, my character is totally, like, LA. The whole movie just made more sense in Los Angeles.
You didn't feel it could be equally adaptable to a New England setting?
No. It's too cold. There's no beach.
You're playing a version of yourself in this movie. Was that what drew you to the script in the first place?
When I saw the script, I was literally laughing out loud. I just thought it was such a cute movie.
You have your own clothing line and, now, a new shoe line. What or who inspires you in fashion?
Every time I go to New York, I always love the Betsy Johnson show. She has cute dresses.
So is Betsy Johnson's whimsical style the sort of thing you try to channel into your own designs?
I travel around the world, so I see styles from Tokyo to, like, Australia. I just try to put everything together that I like from traveling a lot. My lines really represent me.
I see. Do you personally design —
Oh, you sketch?
Well — not everything. I have a design team as well. But I draw things, and they send me approvals.
Tell me more about your footwear collection. The soles are pink. Was that a nod to Christian Louboutin's trademark red soles?
Sort of, yeah. I just, I love pink.
May I ask how many shoes you own?
Actually, my new home, I just built a closet — I turned the gym, actually, into a shoe closet. So I have, like, thousands of shoes.
Amazing. Is it like Cher's closet in Clueless, where everything spins around on different racks and you can stop and start it with a remote control?
No, I wish. But my closet is really amazing.

Hyundai Accent Models and Accent History
Immediately billed as an affordable subcompact, the Hyundai Accent was introduced to the marketplace in 1995. For much of its time on the market, practicality and one of the lowest new car purchase prices year-to-year gave the Accent notoriety. Offered as a three-door hatchback or a four-door sedan, the Accent was powered by a small 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Proving economical in many senses, the 1998 model year version of the Hyundai subcompact featured dual airbags and a stereo system featuring a cassette player. For 2000, the Accent received a minor design revision consisting of a longer appearance and a more detailed front grille. A 92-horsepower 1.5-liter engine on the revised 2000 Hyundai Accent allowed the vehicle to achieve average fuel economy of 32 miles per gallon.
For 2001, power for the Accent was bumped up to 104 horsepower when a 1.6-liter powerplant was added for the hatchback GS and the sedan GL model. For 2004, the three-door hatchback model of the Accent was dressed up with a new GT package. The 2005 Accent GT model included a stiffer, firmer suspension, aluminum alloy wheels and an enhanced interior with leather-wrapped steering wheel. A revised Hyundai Accent arrived in 2006 once again growing in length. Offered solely as a sedan, the 2006 model year Hyundai Accent was placed on a 98.4-inch wheelbase powered by a new 1.6-liter engine featuring CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing).
For 2007, the three-door hatchback model of the Accent returned to the Hyundai line-up for the United States market. For 2011, the base model of the Accent could be purchased just under $10,000 becoming one of the only new cars sold in the United States at that level. A redesign of the Accent for the 2012 model year gave the subcompact a more sophisticated look and featured the availability of a 138-horsepower, direct-injected, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine.

Great video. That's not exactly how I tap things center, but I'll have to give it a shot. I will say, I'd have a tough time, doing a couple techniques, because, my wheels can't be stopped as precisely.....I guess I can, but my kickwheel will have to be going very slow, to stop it instantly.

NBC News's newest contributor: David Axelrod, of course
posted at 2:01 pm on February 19, 2013 by Allahpundit
Look on the bright side. If anything, he'll drag MSNBC to the right.
Seriously, though, in the modern media age no self-respecting cable news network is complete without a left-wing former presidential advisor. MSNBC has Ax and Gibbs, CNN had Carville and Donna Brazile. Fox has Karl Rove.
David Axelrod, former White House senior advisor and senior strategist for President Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns, has joined NBC News and MSNBC as a senior political analyst. He will contribute frequently across all broadcasts and platforms of both networks.
For nearly three decades, Axelrod guided successful campaigns at every level on the ballot. He began his career as a journalist, spending eight years as a political writer, columnist and City Hall bureau chief for the Chicago Tribune before stepping into politics in 1984. He founded Axelrod and Associates, a political and media consulting firm which became AKPD Message and Media. He later founded the communications management firm ASGK Public Strategies…
The NBC News and MSNBC roster of esteemed political analysts also includes Steve Schmidt, former senior campaign strategist and advisor to the 2008 Presidential campaign of Senator John McCain, Michael Steele former chairman of the Republican National Committee and two-term former Governor of Pennsylvania Ed Rendell.
Schmidt, Steele, Rendell, and now Axelrod. They used to run the gamut from A to lowercase a; now they're running it all the way to B. Congrats to NBC on diversifying their line-up. There's no more perfect complement to Politico's splashy feature this morning about Obama as the media's puppetmaster than finding out his top strategist will now be a salaried employee for a major TV news bureau. When Chuck Todd's done, maybe they'll skip the middleman and hire Valerie Jarrett to be White House correspondent. Question for the WH press corps: Why object to O giving interviews to People magazine instead of to NBC? Judging by the staffing alone, People's a more independent outfit.
Via Newsbusters, here's Todd reassuring the "Morning Joe" faithful that media bias is a figment of conservatives' imaginations.

Developers re-working plans for two D.C. Wal-Mart stores
Developers are re-working plans for two Wal-Mart stores in the District on East Capitol Street and New York Avenue NE, The Washington Post reports.
On East Capitol Street, the D.C. Housing Authority and its partner, A&R Cos., submitted plans for a Wal-Mart-anchored project in August of last year, but have broadened the project. The new plans, submitted last week, call for a more modern design for the store, a gateway to the Metro station, a mixed-use building with 283 apartments and a 21,000-square-foot office building.
Changes are also in the works on New York Avenue NE, where a developer stumbled in trying to attract other retailers to join Wal-Mart but says he has regained his footing, according to the Post.

The scale of sport's latest disaster is so immense it is hard to take in.
And when soccer has had time to digest the details, we can only hope that the world game takes corruption and match fixing/tampering more seriously, and deals with it more effectively, than silly old cricket has.
This feels surreal, like someone is hinting at a sporting apocalypse without wanting to say as much. The magnitude appears frightening.
European police have identified 700-odd suspicious matches (about half in Europe) over many countries, involving hundreds of club and match officials, players and crooks in various levels of professional soccer. The main source of the corrupt operation is said to be Singapore.
SEVEN HUNDRED MATCHES - and someone even dared utterthe phrase "tip of the iceberg". How on earth do you deal with something that big?
Match fixing in soccer is not new - top British footballers, including one good international, were jailed and banned for life in the 1960s. But that was an amateur hour production compared with what Europol is uncovering this time.
The automatic question to ask here is how can this scale of corruption have been going on without earlier detection or the spotting of warning signs? Dare we say it, a few blind eyes MUST have been turned along the way. Then again, as tricky as it must be to rig even part of a game - one fix involving a Hungarian team playing against Liverpool in 2009 failed to produce the required number of goals - how do you spot the deliberate errors in a free-flowing sport full of legitimate mistakes?
You almost daren't look at what might follow, for fear of having one of life's joys destroyed, but look we must, and the matches under investigation include World Cup qualifiers and Champions League games.
So go hard Fifa and every other soccer authority dealing with this. As a starting point, don't follow the lead of cricket, which would welcome back the devil himself so long as he could bowl a handy outswinger. Soccer must admit to shock and outrage, be ruthless in finding the culprits, or demanding that they be found, and in banning the scumbags for life. Whoever needs to be thrown out of the game should be thrown out, for good, no matter how big or small they are.
This feels like a point at which soccer must consider it will sink or swim - draconian punishments and deterrents, plus an emphasis on educating young players about their responsibilities and the dangers, are part of the answer. Soccer may already have been too soft in places like Italy where scandals have been uncovered previously. The time is right to get really tough.
Law and out of order
Thank goodness for Stu Kearns, the former policeman once in charge of a serious crash unit. I hardly knew what to do with the sense of outrage on first reading that a sportswoman had been discharged without conviction and her name suppressed, for drink-driving, on the basis such a record would allegedly hurt her ability to compete overseas.
The outrage Kearns expressed - he called it "disgusting" and a "mockery" - in yesterday's Herald helped ease my own anger somehow.
I haven't found anyone who can fathom Gisborne District Court Judge Graham Hubble's decision. We all feel so powerless when faced with clear breaches of trust by people in high places, when the law is applied so deliberately unevenly.
Maybe Judge Hubble should spend a few weeks riding with the emergency services who deal directly with the carnage - the crushed bodies, the emotional pain - caused by drink-driving. As a judge, though, you assume he knows already.
The burning sense of injustice is overwhelming. Judge Hubble is also intentionally denying other countries proper information about potential visitors. As a respected member of the international community, we should act with more integrity.
As for the sportswoman herself, it's not too late to do the decent thing and fess up in public. Hiding away will unfairly cast suspicions on others.
Your lawyer may be chuffed with her work, but guilty little secrets burn away inside. You'll never quite know who knows, because stuff like this always gets out one way or another. A look here, a glance there - is that person looking at me differently? And they won't be thinking nice thoughts because while the original crime was bad enough, it's the highly unusual business that came next which sickens people.
None of us are perfect. But having been caught - as you were - an honourable citizen will admit to this crime and accept the consequences.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Health Issues (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/)
- - Sudden aggression and other issues... is he sick? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/404458-sudden-aggression-other-issues-he-sick.html)
Sudden aggression and other issues... is he sick?
Hello everyone,
I am coming here in hopes I can find some theories about what may be going on with my shepherd. He is purebred, 4 years and 7 months old, neutered at about 3 years old. He has ortho dissecans in one shoulder, which rarely acts up and he takes prevacox for when it does. He has had an episode with gastric torsion for which he recieved a gastric lavage and did not get his stomach tacked. He never did fill out to be a robust male as you'd expect.. he kept a very tall, thin, almost boney appearance. He has always had flea allergies and the occasional ear infection.
About a month ago we had an electrician over, and unprovoked he jumped up and bit him in the shoulder, leaving a deep fang mark and some bruising. While he has NEVER bitten anyone or had an issue with people, we chalked it up to a man walking towards the door. Lesson learned... be more aware.
About a week ago, he was outside with my SO on leash. SO was talking to a friend of ours, who was being quite neutral and did not even touch our dog, when again he lunged up and bit. He got him on the chest and our friend ended up going to the ER for medical care. This landed my dog in bite quarantine for ten days. When I took him into animal control he was at my side as usual, and when the man came back to get him, he threw himself towards him, all teeth. I have no doubt if he could have reached him, he would have gotten him.
What ... the... this is NOT my dog. It's like he has been replaced with an alien. This is a dog I have consistently socialized since day one, this is my good boy who can and does go everywhere with me. I can take him to any hardware store or pet store and he stays at my side. When people reach out and pet him, he doesn't care. He was a very fearful/head shy puppy, but with positive reinforcement he learned to be neutral. He does very much like little dogs, cats, and females, but largely ignores affection from men or large dogs. I have taught him to simply IGNORE kids and "watch me", as they even make me nervous. I should note he has never shown a desire to harm one or run after one. Kids= watch my mom and get a cookie!
I feel traumatized. This is the SECOND dog I have had that has inexplicably turned very aggressive. The dog before him... my vet recommended euthanasia as he was so explosive. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but I did it. As traumatized as I feel, I can't even imagine how he feels sitting in the dog pound right now. Poor boy :'(
After spending many hours thinking about what could have gone wrong, I compiled a list of other things going on with him that may or may not be related. Here is a list....
-Marked aggression, obviously.
- Increased elimination. He usually eliminates up to 3x a day. He has been eliminating up to 8x a day now.
- constant infections. He has had two rounds of staph within the last 3 or 4 months, plus a double ear infection. The staph was horrible and had open, oozing sores even with antibiotic, antifungal, drying powder and cleansing wipes. They did finally heal up, though they got worse before they got better.
-CONSTANT itching. He never stops itching anymore, his coat is stinking, generally unkempt and full of dandruff. He gets flea treatment (vectra 3D) every 2-3 weeks at vets direction as he is prone to allergy. He doesn't have fleas.
-Stinking mouth and lip fold pyoderma- he has always had some degree of pyoderma on the mouth, but within the last few weeks the sides of his mouth are just big scabs :( the hair folicles are large and irrritated around his mouth. The stench from his mouth isn't external though... it smells "deep", like fishy or something dead. It's from his gut.
-increased whining. He will NOT settle. He's always been a fusser, but he's just hysterical these days.
Please understand I have my boy at the vet a few times a month usually. This is not a neglected dog. He eats taste of the wild, is indoor, gets plenty of recreational bones, etc. My description of his condition makes it sound like I don't care about him, I know. I DO, very much, and could easily have bought myself a new car with how much I have paid the vet just to keep him in this condition :(
What is wrong? What am I missing, what is the vet missing? I can't stand to have to put him down because I failed him. I feel like the worst owner on the planet... dog number 2 I couldn't get right. I have heard some snarky comments "Well, German shepherds just turn..." BS!! I know this isn't true. I have taken out a loan to afford a full work up on him. I want his thyroid tested, tested for Lyme disease... what else should I specify? I do know his brother had Intussuseption when he was a pup. I realize this couldn't be that, but could it be some sort of intestinal problem? Also while fully vaccinated, my SO'S bosses dog who is always at the shop *has Parvo*. Could it have come home on clothes, infected my vaccinated adult dog, and be causing atypical symptoms? Sigh.
Any help is appreciated. Please no rough comments, this is **** on earth for my family already. We want to do right by him, that is all.
I, personally, don't have any good answers for you and it sounds like you are doing all you can. He sounds miserable with all kinds of health problems which are undoubtedly contributing and, despite all the wonderful care you give him, wonder about the quality of his life.
I would probably train him at home to wear a GOOD muzzle at this point (while you are sorting things out) and never take him in public without it.
The dog is probably over medicated and now his immune system is not working properly.
All his health issues may be contributing to his bad behavior.
Also he may have just had enough of meeting people and been a good dog. Dogs prefer to be running in forest and swimming rather then going to the hardware store and doing human activities. They have animal needs and if they are not satisfied maybe they can turn to aggression to stop people getting near them.
It is good you do all the socializing with him but maybe he just doesn't like it and would prefer a nice walk in the country.
Personally I'd start using only natural medicine on him and start to feed a raw diet. Also I'd stop him having interactions with people until his health was better.
I'd start to exercise him with swimming, cycling, and trips to nature. I'd try to find activities he like doing like fetch, hide and seek or scent work.
What I use on my dogs for Fleas and skin or hair issue is Neem oil. It has cured mange on one of my dogs and hot spots on the other. It prevents fleas and stops any eggs hatching and guards against tics and mosquito's. It is anti viral and anti bacterial and anti fungal so should heal many skin conditions.
Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar is great too. You can put in the dogs water and wash his body with it(diluted). This will help with the infections.
I clean my dogs ears with ACV and neem oil too. First put in like 10-15 drops of neem and olive oil, and leave for 5 minutes. Then put 10 drops of 50/50 ACV water. Then 5 minutes later clean with cotton wool.
It sounds like your dog has a tremendous amount of health issues which, I beleive, is the main contributor to the sudden aggression. I agree with MadLAb - let the dog be a dog. Take him outside and walk, run, swim, anything that a dog enjoys.
I am a big believer in quality of life. I would rather have my dog enjoy the time he/she has and not be on so much medication, even if it means a sooner than expected end of life. It is not natural to have all of these health issues and be medicated so heavily. My guess is the dog is not reacting well to this and is releasing his energy in an aggressive manner. I am no expert and these are simply my opinions.
Another recommendation is to contact a dog behavior trainer and see what they recommend.
Susan, perhaps you could start a new thread on this so we don't get away from the OPs issue?

Wow I am so sorry.. just recently had a similar situation with my male 4 y/o too. Only it was a nip vs an actual bite, regardless, it was enough to make me go WTF. He too had been having health issues and had been extrememly socialized and worked with on OB since day one..
Definitely bring up that to the vet. That way they know there was a change in behavior and might actually be able to run more tests. Curious if you had your dog tested for food allergies? I just read on the forum somewhere that their dog was in terrible condition and no one could figure out what was wrong (lethargy, terrible skin and coat, runny stool, etc.), as a last resort they did an allergy test and learned exactly what was causing the issue.. switched to a protein he wasn't allergic too and he started feeling much better. I am actually doing that at the end of the month with Titan, he itches like crazy too and I cannot figure out why.
Has your vet run a blood panel on him, I'm sure with you being in there so often he has, but you never know. Some vets believe in temporary treatment rather than finding the root of a problem. Also, just out of curiosity, for the whining and not settling, what kinds of exercise are you giving him and how often. I know Titan becomes extremely "stressed" almost if he doesn't get to exercise. Just a thought..
Also a good trainer. Even thought Titan has been trained and is generally wonderful, my incident was an eye opener and I am seeing a trainer this weekend. I woudl very much encourage a one on one with a behavior trainer and get him evaluated. Something my vet told me was that 4 yrs for a GSD is also an age where they are reaching their full maturity and it may have played a role..
Anyways, I hope that you get some answers. In the same boat as you with the random "aggression" so I know the feeling. You aren't a bad owner, just need to deal with what's happening right now... Chin up friend! :o
Any neem oil will do once it is pure. I'm sure cold pressed organic is the best. The one i use isn't specifically cold pressed and doesn't have a brand. The only one i could get locally in liter form.
I do put on the edges of ears or anywhere if there are any bumps, cysts, cuts or scabs. Basically you can use it any where. It is a vegtable oil. Good for cleaning under belly of dogs too.
Rabies Miasm is something to consider.
Our first GSD had similar issues as yours but different health problems, which made her further aggressive. Very VERY hard. Im sorry you are going through this. I suggest that you seek out a Homeotoxicoligist or a vet well versed in Homeopathy to help balance his body. A combination of homeopathic remedies, supplements, raw feeding, acupuncture, chiropractics and not giving anymore vaccinations is the only thing that saved her. If interested, I can post a list of registered Holistic Vets in your state.
Rabies Miasm:
Rabies Miasm In Dogs | Dogs Naturally Magazine
The symptoms of rabies miasm suggest that its much more common than you might suspect.
Understanding the link between individual chronic diseases and the rabies vaccine involves what homeopathic physician Samuel Hahnemann called a miasm. The miasm is an underlying disease, like the part of the iceberg lurking beneath the waters surface. You can see and deal with the tip of the iceberg in this case, individual disease symptoms but the icebergs essence (the miasm) is submerged, unreachable and deadly.
Rabies Miasm Symptoms
Rabies Miasm In Dogs | Dogs Naturally Magazine
Have you worked on treating a stubborn, chronic condition such as a goopy ear or constant itching for months and finally have resolution only to have it flare up even worse after a rabies vaccine?
Your lovely, sweet dog had an unprovoked attack by another dog at the dog park. Other than skin wounds, your dog seems to be alright. Except now she is acting out in an aggressive manner that shes never exhibited before. Post trauma? Possibly ..
All of the above behaviors and symptoms could be part of the rabies miasm, acquired from a rabies vaccine or even the bite of another vaccinated animal.

How to Avoid Vaccination Reactions in Dogs | Truth4Dogs
Rabies Vaccinosis AlertÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* by : Dr. Dym: In other words, instead of seeing acute expressions of viral disease, we are, instead seeing symptoms of chronic illness which are actually documented to occur in rabid animals. Symptoms of rabies include restlessness; viciousness; avoidance of company; unusual affection; desire to travel; inability to be restrained; self biting; strange cries and howls; inability to swallow resulting in gagging while eating/drinking; staring eyes; swallowing wood, stones, inedibles; destruction of blankets, clothing; convulsive seizures; throat spasms; increased sexual desires; disturbed heart function; excited and jerky breathing. My biggest concern with pets are the changes in behavior after being vaccinated. This is usually along the lines of aggression, suspicion, unusual fears, etc. The essential aspect is a lack of control of impulses.

Stephen LeClair, Ontario's Budget Watchdog, Says Liberals Refusing Info He Needs
TORONTO — Ontario's budget watchdog says the Liberal government is still withholding key information he needs to do his job.
Financial accountability officer Stephen LeClair says his office made six information requests of government ministries and agencies in its first year of operation, but received only four partial answers.
LeClair says ministries too frequently cite a cabinet confidentiality exemption that he believes does not apply to forecasts of future government revenue and spending, and make it more costly and difficult to do his duties.

He says it's difficult to know if a bill is a good idea without having access to the government's forecasts of its impact, or to know if there are areas of uncertainty that his office should point out to MPPs.
LeClair made similar complaints about being refused government information when he released a report last fall into the Liberals' plans to privatize Hydro One.
Tories wonder what Liberals are hiding
The Progressive Conservatives say they wonder what the Liberals are hiding by refusing to co-operate with the financial accountability officer, while the New Democrats say the government clearly has a problem with independent oversight.
"The Liberal government has tried to undermine the auditor general, they've fought with the ombudsman and they are refusing to give the FAO the information he needs to do his job," said NDP finance critic Catherine Fife.
"A premier that's so focused on keeping secrets clearly isn't interest in what's best for Ontario families."
The Liberals agreed to create the financial accountability office to get the NDP's support for the 2013 Ontario budget when they were in a minority and needed votes from another party to avoid triggering an election campaign.

UP NEXT: How Much Are MPs Making?
On April 1, 2015, members of Parliament received a 2.3 per cent pay increase, bringing the basic pay of each MP up to $167,400 from $163,700 the year prior. But while that base salary is the same for every member, certain MPs are afforded the chance to make much more. The full list of indemnities, salaries and allowances can be found here.
NDP MP Niki Ashton (Churchill-Keewatinook Aski) is an example of an MP who earns just the base salary afforded to all members. 2016 Salary: $167,400 There are currently 338 MPs.
The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, however, makes double the salary of your average MP. 2016 Salary: $334,800 Car Allowance: $2,000
Liberal MP Geoff Regan (Halifax West) earns the base salary, plus $80,100 for serving as Speaker. 2016 Salary: $247,500 Car allowance: $1,000
Interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose earns the base MP salary, plus $80,100 for leading the Official Opposition. 2016 Salary: $247,500 Car Allowance: $2,000
Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan (Vancouver South), like other cabinet ministers, earns $80,100 on top of the base MP salary. 2015 Salary: $247,500 Car Allowance: $2,000
NDP Leader Thomas Mulacir and the leaders of the Green Party and Bloc Quebecois earn the base MP salary, plus $56,800 for serving as their party's top dog. 2016 Salary: $224,200
Liberal MP Dominic LeBlanc (Beauséjour), earns $80,100 on top of the base MP salary. 2016 Salary: $247,500 Car Allowance: $2,000
Conservative MP Andrew Scheer (Regina-Qu'Appelle) earns the base MP salary plus a $41,500 pay bump for serving as Opposition House leader. 2016 Salary: $208,900
NDP MP Peter Julian (Burnaby-New Westminster) earns the base MP salary plus a $16,600 pay bump for serving as his party's House leader. 2016 Salary: $184,000
Liberal MP Andrew Leslie (Orléans) earns the base MP salary, plus $30,000 for serving as the Trudeau government's whip. 2016 Salary: $197,400
Gordon Brown (Leeds–Grenville–Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes) also earns an additional $11,700 for serving as the Opposition's whip. 2016 Salary: $179,400
Liberal MP Celina Caesar-Chavannes (Whitby) is one of 35 parliamentary secretaries who gets a $16,600 pay bump on top of her salary. 2016 Salary: $184,000
UP NEXT: House Speaker's Perks and Powers
Veteran Liberal MP Geoff Regan was elected the new Speaker of the House of Commons in December 2015. Though many Canadians might not know much about the job, House Speaker remains a very coveted role. Here are some of the unique perks and powers that come with the job.
As of April 2015, the House Speaker earns $80,100 on top of the base MP salary of $167,400. That's $247,500 a year — the same amount of money earned by cabinet ministers and the leader of the Official Opposition.
The Speaker also gets to live at a beautiful, official residence. Located at Kingsmere in the Gatineau Hills, the property consists of a farmhouse and five outbuildings surrounded by four acres of fields and forests. The residence is closed to the public but you can take a virtual tour on the National Capital Commission website.
The Speaker also gets a small apartment in Parliament's Centre Block, but it isn't as luxurious as you might think. There's a double-bed and armoire in the small bedroom.
The living room in the Speaker's apartment features a desk, TV, gas fireplace and fridge. There's also dressing room and a basic bathroom with a tub-shower combo, but no kitchen.
The Speaker's yearly car allowance of $1,000 is less than that of the prime minister, cabinet ministers, and the official opposition leader who all get $2,000. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is shown giving a thumbs up from his car after taking a tour of the West Block.
The Speaker's job is far from symbolic. He or she presides over question period, can expel misbehaving MPs, and has the power to make rulings when members think their rights have been infringed. The Speaker is in charge of the administration of the Commons, including staff, security, and printing and postal services. The Speaker also plays a diplomatic role by hosting foreign dignitaries, and travelling abroad as head of delegations at international conferences and other legislatures. Former House Speaker Andrew Scheer and Senate Speaker Leo Housakos show King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands the Senate chamber.
According to the department of Canadian Heritage, Canada's order of ceremonial precedence is as follows: Governor General, prime minister, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, the Speaker of the Senate, and then the Speaker of the House of Commons.
In what has become a recent tradition, the Speaker selects a "Speaker's Scotch" that can be purchased at the parliamentary restaurant and even gets its own label. Regan told HuffPost he's going with Glen Breton, single malt whisky.
UP NEXT: Rookie MPs To Watch
Joly, 36, made a name for herself by finishing second to ex-Liberal cabinet minister Denis Coderre in the Montreal mayoral race in 2013. A lawyer and communications expert who was heavily involved in her community, she ran for the Liberals and beat ex-Bloc MP-turned-New Democrat Maria Mourani. Joly was named minister of Canadian heritage.
Caesar-Chavannes first gave the Tories a fright in a 2014 byelection to fill the seat left behind by the late Jim Flaherty. Though she lost to Whitby's then-mayor Pat Perkins, the race ended up being a lot closer than many expected. In a rematch, Caesar-Chavannes, an entrepreneur and research consultant, won by almost 2,000 votes.
Deltell, a longtime member of Quebec's National Assembly, served as leader of the right-wing Action Démocratique du Québec until that party merged with Coalition Avenir Quebec a few years ago. He was considered a star recruit for the Conservatives, who have struggled in the province. Deltell easily defeated his Liberal challenger by nearly 20,000 votes. The NDP incumbent finished third.
Despite not having a seat, Beaulieu was elected leader of the Bloc Quebecois in June 2014. He gave up the role just before the start of the election to make room for former leader Gilles Duceppe. Though Duceppe lost his bid for a seat, Beaulieu was victorious and will soon have a chance to make his mark in Parliament.
Blair was chief of the Toronto Police Service from 2005 to 2015. He sparked controversy with his handling of the 2010 G20 protests in the city and publicly clashed with controversial ex-mayor Rob Ford. A police officer for 40 years, Blair says he was approached by the Tories and New Democrats before he decided to run for the Trudeau Liberals.
Rayes, the popular mayor of Victoriaville since 2009, was courted for months to run federally. His pursuit of a nomination was interpreted as a sign of Conservative momentum in the province. Rayes rolled to victory, besting his nearest competitor (a Liberal) by more than 4,000 votes.
Though New Democrats lost more than half their seats and saw many high-profile MPs defeated, Blaikie's razor-thin victory over a Tory incumbent was a bright spot. Blaikie, 31, is the son of NDP stalwart Bill Blaikie, who served as an MP from 1979 to 2008. His sister, Rebecca, is president of the NDP.
Leslie, a retired general who led Canadian troops in Afghanistan, was one of the Liberals' star recruits. He served as Trudeau's foreign policy and defence adviser and unseated a Conservative incumbent in the Ottawa riding.
Morneau, the former executive chair of Morneau Shepell, one of Canada's largest human resources firms, has landed the coveted finance portfolio.
Wilson-Raybould, a former Crown prosecutor and regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations will serve as justice minister and attorney general.
Watts, the very popular former mayor of Surrey, likely would have landed in cabinet if Harper's Conservatives won again. Instead, she will be a fresh face in the opposition benches. Mayor of B.C.'s second-largest city from 2005 to 2014, she was one of just two Conservatives endorsed by GreenPAC, a group dedicated to environmental causes.
Sajjan, a retired lieutenant colonel who also served in Afghanistan, was the first Sikh to command a Canadian Army regiment. He also served as a Vancouver police officer for 11 years. He has been named defence minister.
Ouellette, a Cree academic who served almost 20 years in the Canadian Armed Forces, surprised many with a strong campaign for mayor of Winnipeg in 2014. He unseated colourful NDP incumbent Pat Martin in a race that turned personal at times. Ouellette is one of a record 10 indigenous MPs elected to the House of Commons.
Liepert was an MLA in Alberta for 12 years and served as both minister of health and energy. He challenged controversial, longtime MP Rob Anders for the Tory nomination and even told Jason Kenney to "mind his own business" after the cabinet minister endorsed his rival. Liepert easily won his seat and, days later, bashed the way the Conservative Party ran the national campaign. Liepert, it seems, is no shrinking violet.
O'Regan, a former host of "Canada AM" and CTV journalist, unseated an NDP incumbent in the Newfoundland riding. While well-known for his broadcasting career, O'Regan also worked as an assistant to Jean Charest, back when he was a Progressive Conservative environment minister. He also worked as a speechwriter for former Liberal Newfoundland and Labrador premier Brian Tobin.
Mihychuk was an NDP MLA in Manitoba from 1995 to 2004, serving as minister of industry, trade, and mines, and later minister of intergovernmental affairs. She has been named minister of employment.
McKenna, a social justice lawyer, was a former legal advisor for the United Nations peacekeeping mission in East Timor and founded Canadian Lawyers Abroad (now known as Level), a charity focused on global justice issues. She will serve as minister of the environment and climate change.
Malcolmson captured the Vancouver Island riding for the NDP, winning by more than 6,000 votes. She is a former chairwoman of the Islands Trust Council, and was elected to that body four times. Her experience in local government could mean a key role in an NDP caucus now depleted of many veterans MPs.
McCrimmon ran for the leadership of the Liberal Party in 2013 despite never holding elected office. A former lieutenant colonel in the Royal Canadian Air Force, McCrimmon was the first female air navigator and first woman to command a Canadian Forces flying squadron.
Hehr, an Alberta MLA from 2008 to 2015, was one of just two Liberals elected in Calgary. Grits were shut out of that city for almost 50 years. The 45-year-old will serve as minister of veterans affairs and associate minister of national defence.
Philpott is a family physician, associate professor at the University of Toronto, and former chief of the department of family medicine at Markham Stouffville Hospital. She unseated controversial parliamentary secretary Paul Calandra by nearly 4,000 votes. She will serve as minister of health.
A respected Edmonton city councillor since 2007, Sohi immigrated to Canada from India 35 years ago and served time behind bars as a political prisoner in India. He has been named minister of infrastructure.
Qualtrough, a lawyer and former Paralympian, will serve as minister of sport. Legally blind, Qualtrough won three Paralympic and four World Championship medals for Canada in swimming and was president of the Canadian Paralympic Committee.
A community organizer, Monsef was born in Afghanistan. She fled the Taliban and came to Canada as a refugee with her widowed mother and sisters in 1996. Monsef, 30, will serve as minister for democratic institutions.
Hajdu, executive director of Thunder Bay's largest homeless shelter, will serve as status of women minister.
The 35-year-old, who worked for the Kitchener-Waterloo Multicultural Centre, will serve as minister of small business and tourism.
Duclos, a renowned economics professor at Laval University, will serve as minister of families, children and social development.
Carr, a former Manitoba MLA and deputy leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party, unseated a Tory incumbent by an astounding 17,000 votes. He will serve as minister of natural resources.
Mendicino, a former federal prosecutor, knows how to go up against big names and win. First, he beat Tory-turned-Liberal Eve Adams in a nomination battle and won the Toronto seat held by finance minister Joe Oliver by nearly 6,000 votes. He could be headed for big things in a Trudeau government.
Fuhr is a former CF-18 fighter pilot who served with the Canadian Air Force for 20 years. Though his riding had been reliably Conservative, he unseated the Tory incumbent by more than 4,000 votes. Fuhr wrote a blog for HuffPost last year detailing how he went from being a lifelong Conservative to a Liberal candidate. He could be considered for a cabinet or parliamentary secretary role.

The dilemma
Murray is preparing for summer and days on the harbour. But first he needs a vehicle to tow his boat.
"I'm after a vehicle to use every day around Auckland but also to tow a 6.5m boat (dry weight 1600kg on a braked trailer). I average around 30,000km each year," says Murray. "I'm looking at the Ford Territory diesel, Hyundai Santa FE 2.2 CRD, or Toyota Highlander. What do you think?"
For your lifestyle, Murray, and annual travelling distance (twice the national average), you would have to consider diesel power seriously.
Engine torque is where diesels shine with greater "pulling power" under loads so the engine maintains lower revs and therefore consumes less fuel than a petrol engine.
Diesels can be expensive to maintain compared to petrol power and, with your annual mileage, be prepared for a couple of oil and filter changes each year at least.
The other consideration is 2WD or 4WD. If you tow the boat often over unsealed or challenging terrain or launch from slippery, steep boat ramps, then 4WD may be the better option. Driving and parking in the inner city can be a frustrating exercise with any reasonably large SUV.
Good vision, comfort and parking aids such as reverse cameras and parking sensors can make the journey around crowded inner city streets much less stressful.
The budget: $50,000
The shortlist
Toyota Highlander
Unfortunately, no diesel option is offered. With a claimed fuel consumption of 11.6 l/100km (without the boat ) your trips to the boat ramp would need to be reasonably short. Pluses are it can be bought with a reversing camera, stability control, Downhill Assist Control and Hill Start Assist Control, which are all handy driving aids.
Both 2WD and 4WD options are available also while on-going servicing would be cheaper than the diesel option. Towing the boat won't be a problem with a braked towing capacity of 2000kg.
Hyundai Santa Fe R
All bases in terms of comfort and safety are covered with this diesel model. Extra touches include reverse camera (integrated into the rear view mirror, which is better than nothing), parking sensors, leather trim and Downhill Brake Control.
Some Hyundai dealers are currently offering a 3-year/45k (whichever comes first) service plan which helps with those expensive service costs albeit for a short time in your case.
Towing recommendation is 2000kg for a braked load. Four-wheel-drive is selected automatically (when slip detected) or can be locked manually which helps reduce fuel consumption (claimed consumption is 7.4 l/100km).
Ford Territory
Like the Hyundai, the Territory TX AWD diesel is well spec'd safety and occupant comfort-wise, although a reverse camera is not standard on the TX (parking sensors only are standard). As a driver's vehicle the Territory is hard to beat and can reduce stress when towing. Braked tow ratings vary depending on the load. To tow in excess of 1600kg (to a maximum of 2700kg) a heavy duty tow pack is required so be sure to avoid extra costs and check what is fitted if buying second-hand. Claimed fuel consumption is 8.8 l/100km.
Driven recommends.The Hyundai Santa Fe Diesel is hard to beat as an overall package.

Take a Look at TokyoFlash's Bluetooth Concept Lineup
I love checking out concept gadgets, mostly because it reminds me of what's possible. One company I can't get enough of in general is TokyoFlash, who are widely known for their über-geeky binary watches, but they're churning out the concept Bluetooth devices like there's no tomorrow these days. I've rounded up a few of my favorites, but give them a once-over yourself and tell me which one you'd take out for a test drive!

And leave plenty of time to treat your body and soul with discounted spa treatments at the resort's Ya'ax Che Spa.
The end is near, so don't let this otherworldly Escape slip through your fingers.
