It is important to commit to effectively training your dog. In the years to come, your dog will know its place in the family and will love it, so it pays off in the end. Read on to learn how to train your dog properly.
As with anything, reinforce the good behaviors from your dog. Make sure that you have treats handy, or just use lots of praise for actions that are good. This will teach your dog to try and get a rent interactive inflatables in houston texas treat, or your praise and reinforce to them that what they online marketing experts just did was something you want them to keep doing.
Be careful of disrupting your training time with rewards. Reward them only when your dog is calm after it performs a trick. Though you might be satisfied with this type of accomplishment, excitement may lead to your pet having diminished control over the situation. If you are able to maintain your calm, you can expect your dog to maintain calm too.
Just as reinforcement of good behavior when training a dog should be immediate, so too should punishment < for bad behavior be immediate. Saying "no" in a harsh voice tells the dog he has acted inappropriately but he only connects the message with the targeted behavior if that message is delivered immediately after that act.
Listening to your dog is one of the most important steps of training your dog. If your dog is uncomfortable or scared, then you aren't going to get the result that you are looking for. Respect their needs and the process will go a lot smoother.
Make sure to get everyone involved in training. If you are the only member of the family working with Fido's behavior, then the other members of the family are giving him mixed signals. Consistency is extremely important in dog training. Also make sure that everyone is using the same key words and rewards so that the behavior will be reinforced correctly. Off and down are two different things to a dog, so make sure you aren't confusing him.
Always end a training session with your dog on a positive note, even if you have to manipulate the scenario to make your dog successful. Ending a training session immediately after a disciplinary action will mean that your dog will remember the session as being about punishment, not about training.
Maintain brief training sessions. Dogs don't have long attention spans so make sure that your training sessions are kept short. You
Keep track of the number of treats you give your dog. Your dog needs to watch his weight, too. It's easy to overlook the treats, but the do add up, especially when you're doing a lot of training.
To train your dog to stop begging for human food, you should completely ignore him when you are eating. If you pay attention to him, he will think he has a chance of getting your food, and therefore he will never stop begging. If you ignore him during your mealtime, he will soon learn that begging is pointless and stop.
When you are training your dog on a certain behavior, look for a quiet place to train him. Dogs can be easily distracted by everything around them. So, in order to keep your dog's attention on the task, do the initial training in a quiet room. Your dog will learn quicker this way.
A good dog training tip is to be aware of the body language you use. Dogs pay close attention to our body language and it's important that you are sending the right message. Talking too much can also confuse dogs, so it's best to be succinct with what you're trying to say.
When you're training your dog it is critical that you never abuse your dog. Abusing your dog in form of punishment will just lead to your dog fearing you. A simple "no" is much more effective. You really have to be consistent, and patient.
To prevent your dog from digging in your flower beds, set up an area where he can dig. Be sure to have all of his favorite things there - toys, food and water dishes and dog house. Provide soft, tempting soil. When your dog heads for your garden, just redirect him to his. Praise him for being in his area, and tell him NO, when he ventures into your area.
When you are training your dog, Mr. SEO Dude do not blame it for bad behavior if it is sick. You should never force a dog to do obedience training when it is not feeling well. Take your dog to the vet to see what is making it sick, and put off the training until it is doing better.
Understand that a dog's thinking is simple compared to human thinking. If you call your dog and he doesn't come immediately because he's distracted by a squirrel, don't scold him when he does show up. He only knows that he is coming to you, and you are scolding him for doing so. He doesn't understand you're angry about the squirrel, or that he didn't come to you quickly enough.
To successfully train your dog, start by making sure to use its name when you call it. Call your pet by name for feedings, walks and play, but never for punishment. This ensures that you will be able to get your dog's attention once you begin asking for more complex tricks.
Dog training is a great investment. An untrained dog can wreck your home and cause unnecessary stress, which then creates a hostile environment. By learning the tips here, you will choose wisely and help your pet become a lovable animal.

I was drifting through The Strand when I bumped into Thierry Coubert's "Cafe Society", graced by this very haughty portrait of Barbara Hutton on the cover. You might want to despise Ms Hutton's evocation of perfect arrogance in this image. The serious jewels, the angular plane of those cheekbones , that tight mouth, the bouffant coiled to look like a frozen froth, the careless hand gesture with the cigarette held at a distance from the body. The dog,…the fur shrug…the floral dress. Look at how it creates a visual melange of absolute self-indulgence. It is like the best Vogue Italia cover that never was.

Before more stores switch to giving discounts for using debit, buying with a rewards credit card still lowers the net price.
Outside airline and hotel rewards cards which redeem for a specific airline or hotel chain, very few cards give 2% rewards on every purchase. The short list of cards that are still taking new applications includes Fidelity AmEx and Capital One Venture. That's about it.
Now comes a card that pays more than 2% on everything. It's called Barclaycard Arrival Plus™ World Elite MasterCard®. The catch is that to get the best redemption you have to redeem against travel expenses — airlines, hotels, rental car, etc. It's not a big deal. We have those expenses anyway.
Similar to Capital One Venture, it calls the rewards "miles" but they are really just points redeemable for a statement credit against a travel charge. Every $1 spent earns 2 miles. There is no cap on how much you can earn or any special categories you have to keep track of. 2 miles for $1 spent is on everything, every day.
2,500 miles are good for a $25 statement credit against travel expenses. You don't have to use any specific airline or hotel. You don't have to book the travel through any specific travel agency or website. You don't have to wait until you have enough miles to cover 100% of the travel expense. After you redeem for statement credit against a travel expense, you get 10% of the miles credited back. With the credit-back, a $100 statement credit only costs 9,000 miles, which you earned with $4,500 worth of spending. $100 / $4,500 = 2.22%.
There is a $89 annual fee, which is waived the first year. If you spend $3,000 within 90 days after you open the account, you get 40,000 bonus miles. The 40,000 bonus miles are worth $444. Redeeming 40,000 miles gets $400 statement credit plus 4,000 miles credited back; redeeming 4,000 miles gets another $40 statement credit plus 400 miles credited back, … That $444 worth of statement credit will pay the annual fee for another 5 years.
In addition to the usual rental car insurance, extended warranty, etc. this card also offers no foreign transaction fee, Price Protection, trip cancellation and trip interruption benefits.
2.22% rewards on everything, every day, effectively fee-free for 6 years is the best deal. 6 years down the road there may be something else better. You can get a similar signup bonus from other cards but those don't give you 2.22% rewards. This one is a keeper.
If you are dead against an annual fee even though the signup bonus covers it for 6 years, there is also a no annual fee version: Barclaycard Arrival™ World MasterCard®, but that one only gives you 2% reward on travel and dining, not on everything. It still works as a good travel card because there's no foreign transaction fee.
Barclaycard Arrival Plus™ World Elite MasterCard® beats the other 2% rewards cards with 11% more rewards on every purchase. Being a MasterCard it's also accepted at more places than Fidelity AmEx. To me, the extra 11% in rewards is worth limiting redemption to travel expenses.

Reviews for Caribbean Chicken
"Used 3 jalapeños for me, one with seeds. made a 2nd batch for my husband using 6 jalapeños with seeds. Could not tell the difference! bland!"
"My fiancee is pretty useless in the kitchen sometimes, but he was able to put this together while I was on my way home from work. It's super out of the ordinary and we both really appreciated that it wasn't covered in our usual terriyaki sauce or barbecue sauce. Super spicy and unique. Will absolutely make over and over."
"I did mine as chicken tenders. It was excellent!"
"This was incredible, the flavors oh my. Cant wait to make it again. I didnt have green onion, but that would make it even better Im sure. Tasty!"
"Can u make this without the honey?"
"The marinade is really good on shrimp too!"

I really liked the item. It's gorgeous looking shelves. I put it in my kitchen and it looks very nice in it. I put my Keurig coffee machine, toast 'r oven, toaster, Panini maker, boxes etc. and it's very sturdy. I am happy with the buy.

I have been using this bookshelf in my baby's room for almost a year and I am very pleased with it. It was easy to put together. I have all sizes of books on 2 of the shelves and they fit well. I have toys, puzzles, and toys on the top and lowest shelf. I was pleased the color matched my nursery furniture- a dark expresso color. It feels sturdy and is worth the sixty-something dollars I paid.

the bookshelf went together easily and was perfect for what I needed: a bookcase to hold my cookbooks in a small space. I have some pretty heavy cookbooks on it, and for an inexpensive shelving unit, there is no warping or sagging of the shelves.

Having your house appraised might seem daunting, even scary, especially if you have never gone through an appraisal before. Knowing what the house appraiser will look for when he arrives not only can ease your concern, but it also help you prepare your home for the appraisal. Even a minimal amount of effort can have an impact on your home's appraised value, which can increase your equity in the home or boost the return on your investment if you plan to sell.
Before the appraiser even enters your home, he will investigate the structure, looking at the foundation, siding and roofing to determine the material, quality and condition of each. The appraiser also will look for cracks, leaks, damage or defects around the exterior of your home. Prefabricated homes will lose value here, as they typically are built with lower-quality materials than are unique houses built completely on site. Conversely, custom-built homes will gain value because they usually are made with higher-quality materials and are often one of a kind. This adds even more to the home's overall value.
Inside your home, the appraiser will look for the essentials that make up a house, things like the material and quality of the walls and inside roof, the type of flooring and its condition, and the number, type and quality of windows and doors. She will also look for permanent fixtures installed in the home, including appliances, plumbing and lighting fixtures, and note any defects or damage she finds. To understand what the appraiser will look for inside your home, imagine what you would leave behind if you moved out. The appraiser will look at all you'd leave behind. She will inspect these things and consider the overall value of your home. So focus your time, attention and money on checking, repairing and/or upgrading, if necessary, what the appraiser will inspect. You can ignore anything you would take with you, because the appraiser will ignore those things too.
The amenities installed in your home have a significant impact on the home's value. The appraiser will note what features your house does--and does not--have. These include modern conveniences, such as central air conditioning, baseboard heating, smoke detectors and a detached garage. If your home lacks these features, the appraiser will likely value your home slightly less. He will look for additional features as well, such as a fireplace, a security and/or intercom system and solar panels. And he'll consider outdoor amenities, such as an in-ground pool or a gazebo.
One often-overlooked aspect of an appraisal is the work you've done on your home since you took ownership. Any remodeling completed can influence the appraised value of your home, usually in a positive way. The appraiser will examine upgrades to the kitchen, including the stove, oven, sink and faucet, countertops and other built-in appliances. Bathrooms are next on the appraiser's checklist--bathtubs/showers, toilets, sinks, faucets and lighting fixtures. If you did remodeling work on your home or hired a contractor to complete it for you, list the upgrades and the old appliances and fixtures they replaced. Give the appraiser the list and point these things out as you go through each room. Again, you should not include appliances or accessories that are not permanently installed, including your refrigerator, microwave and décor. The appraiser will ignore these items, and they do not contribute to the overall value of your home.
Front & Back Yards
Your front and back yards are almost as important to the overall value of your home as the house itself. The foremost aspect the house appraiser will consider is the size--the larger your plot, the higher your appraisal will be. The appraiser will look for and consider landscaping, permanent fixtures (like an in-ground sprinkler system) and other features. Although mere appearance has little to do with your home's overall value, your front yard in the first thing the appraiser will see. An unkempt, overgrown yard strewn with broken-down vehicles and garbage could influence her appraisal.

PITTSBURGH -- It didn't take James McDonald long to fit in with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
McDonald pitched seven sharp innings, Garrett Jones and Pedro Alvarez each drove in three runs and the Pirates returned home from another winless roadtrip, snapping a seven-game skid overall with a 7-1 victory over the Florida Marlins on Monday night.
McDonald had his second brilliant home start since joining the team sandwiched around a poor outing away from PNC Park.
|More on the Pirates
"Certain factors come into play on the road, just certain tangibles that you don't even realize," Alvarez said. "Just being at home, you're just a lot more comfortable and at ease. You've got the fans behind you -- that helps a lot, believe it or not."
Pittsburgh, which lost all six games of a six-game trip for the third time this season, is 13-48 away from home but a respectable 27-30 at PNC Park.
McDonald won his Pirates debut with six scoreless innings at home Aug. 8. He didn't make it out of the fifth in losing his most recent outing at San Diego last Wednesday.
"When he's on, he can cruise through his innings pretty quick," Pirates manager John Russell said.
Dan Uggla went 3 for 4 with an RBI for the Marlins, who fell three games under .500 and nine games behind in the National League wild-card race.
The Marlins, losers of four straight and nine of 12, held a 15-minute closed-door players-only meeting after the game.
"We talked about a lot of different things," Uggla said. "It doesn't take a genius to figure out we've been flat the last five to eight games. ... We have to take it upon ourselves as professionals and as a team to be more competitive, be more focused when we're playing and have more intensity. We've got to bounce back, even if something may not go right early on in a game."
The Pirates got two runs in the first against Florida starter Chris Volstad -- on Jones' sacrifice fly and Alvarez's single that scored Jose Tabata and Neil Walker. Volstad, a right-hander, then faced the minimum over the next four innings, retiring 10 of 11 batters at one point.
Volstad (6-9) was lifted for Taylor Tankersley in the sixth after he loaded the bases with no outs. Tankersley promptly gave up a two-run double to Jones, scoring McCutchen and Tabata.
Alvarez then followed with a single into the right-field corner, driving in Walker and Jones to make it 6-1.
Volstad gave up five runs on five hits and two walks in five-plus innings. He lost for the first time in five starts since being optioned to Triple-A for three starts last month.
"We've just got to pick it up a little bit," Volstad said. "Four in a row, we're a better team than that."
Making his third start with the Pirates since being acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a deadline day trade, McDonald (2-2) pitched more than six innings for the first time in his career. He gave up a run and three hits, striking out six and walking two in improving to 2-1 with Pittsburgh.
"I think it's real important ... when you get a guy on the ropes, 1-2, 0-2 even 2-2 counts, to put him away right then and there," McDonald said.
Andrew McCutchen hit his 10th home run -- but only the second in the past month -- to center field leading off the seventh.
Uggla drove in Logan Morrison with a groundout in the fourth to account for Florida's run. The Marlins have scored only seven runs during their streak, during which they are 0 for 33 with runners in scoring position, including 0 for 6 Monday.
"I think we have the talent," Florida manager Edwin Rodriguez said. "I think [the players] know we should be out there performing better. But then again, I say this honestly, most of them are trying 100 percent."
"We just have to raise our intensity to a high level," Uggla said. "There's no doubt in my mind that all 25 of us in this room can do that. I'm expecting to see a different team tomorrow."
- The Pirates have had four losing streaks of at least seven games this season; seven streaks of least five consecutive losses.
- Florida rookie OF Mike Stanton, named NL player of the week early Monday, went 1 for 3 with two strikeouts and a walk.
- Pittsburgh C Chris Snyder had two hits after having only one in his previous four games combined.

Sarah Quigley is a novelist, poet and critic whose latest book, The Conductor (Vintage, $39.99) is on the NZ fiction bestseller list.
The book I love most is ... The Book of Disquiet, by Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa. He was almost unknown in his lifetime but after he died in 1935 a trunk was found containing thousands of poems, letters and journals. This book is a selection of those. I read it very slowly, over about a year, so it felt like dreaming. It's beautiful, poetic, and memorable.
The book I'm reading right now is ... Poles Apart, by Gareth Morgan and John McCrystal, about climate change. It's topical and incisive.
The book I'd like to read next is ... a collection of Chekhov's letters, sitting half-read on my breakfast table. The letters reveal an intelligence and humour that feel incredibly modern, in spite of being written over a hundred years ago.
The book that changed me is ... Dodie Smith's I Capture The Castle. Fictional characters can be as colourful and engaging as real people.
My favourite bookshop is ... I love too many to choose one! Any good independent bookshop that's fighting the battle against chain stores.
The book I wish I'd never read is ... Stephen King's On Writing. I left it in a rubbish bin at Heathrow.

The Exploits of Elaine HTML version
12. The Blood Crystals
"On your right is the residence of Miss Elaine Dodge, the heiress, who is pursuing the
famous master criminal known as the Clutching Hand."
The barker had been grandiloquently pointing out the residences of noted New Yorkers
as the big sightseeing car lumbered along through the streets. The car was filled with
people and he plied his megaphone as though he were on intimate terms with all the city's
No one paid any attention to the unobtrusive Chinaman who sat inconspicuously in the
middle of the car. He was Mr. Long Sin, but no one saw anything particularly mysterious
about an oriental visitor more or less viewing New York City.
Long was of the mandarin type, with drooping mustache, well dressed in American
clothes, and conforming to the new customs of an occidentalized China.
Anyone, however, who had been watching Long Sin would have seen that he showed
much interest whenever any of the wealthy residents of the city were mentioned. The
name of Elaine Dodge seemed particularly to strike him. He listened with subtle interest
to what the barker said and looked keenly at the Dodge house.
The sight-seeing car had passed the house, when he rose slowly and motioned that he
wanted to be let off. The car stopped, he alighted and slowly rambled away, evidently
marvelling greatly at the strange customs of these uncouth westerners.
Elaine was going out, when she met Perry Bennett almost on the steps of the house.
"I've brought you the watch," remarked Bennett; "thought I'd like to give it to you
He displayed the watch which he himself had bought a couple of days before for her
birthday. He had called for it himself at the jeweller's where it had now been regulated.
"Oh, thank you," exclaimed Elaine. "Won't you come in?"
They had scarcely greeted each other, when Long Sin strolled along. Neither of them,
however, had time to notice the quiet Chinaman who passed the house, looking at Elaine
sharply out of the corner of his eye. They entered and Long disappeared down the street.
"Isn't it a beauty?" cried Elaine, holding it out from her, as they entered the library and
examining it with great appreciation. "And, oh, do you know, the strangest thing
happened yesterday? Sometimes Mr. Kennedy acts too queerly for anything."

The highlighting trait of this film will be the awe-inspiring sets of ancient Chennai raised by art director A. Selva Kumar. A.L. Vijay, who made his debut directorial with Kireedom and won rave reviews for his family entertainer Poi Solla Poram (remake of Hindi film Khosla Ka Ghosla) has directed this period film.
G.V. Prakash had stunned us with his spellbinding musical score in 'Aayirathil Oruvan" and is back with a big bang. All the songs have already topped the charts and trade analysts have labeled Madrasapattinam as the highest selling album.
The audio launch of this film was recently held in Chennai with Kamal Haasan and director Shankar releasing the music. Nirav Shah, the close associate of Aarya has cranked camera with unique tones and filters to bring out unique visuals. Anthony, who is well known for fast-cuts, has used a different style of edits and Pattanam Rasheed has worked on artists" makeovers. The producers of AGS Entertainment have planned to release the film in June.

Frigidiare Ice Machine won't work
I posted a previous post asking how to take the front off a Frigidaire ice/water dispenser. I figured it out. But I didn't see anything broke so I put it back together. I opened the door and held the light button and pressed the ice dispenser but nothing happened. I noticed the Bar Drive has ice fuzzies on it, Is this normal? Is the motor frozen or what would I need to do to see? I don't here any buzzing or anything. Is the motor bad..I found another on Ebay for a cheaper price..Anyone have any ideal or what I should try next?
Its a side by side frig....Model # FRS6R5EMBC
I found parts here....http://www.appliancepartspros.com/pa...70379#d1270379
I figured this out...I got a new motor.. because I thought the other motor was bad and it wasn't. The old motor was froze up. Anyway I replaced it and the Ice machine still wouldn't work so I looked and looked finally I found a broke piece on the Ice Actuator I super glued it for now and it works. :thumbsup:

A DoJ Mea Culpa and a Contractor's Drug-Running Past
Here are our editors' picks from today's roundup of investigative stories around the Web. Was there a story we missed? Please keep sending us your picks or include them in the comments section below.
The Justice Department has issued another mea culpa in the Alaska corruption probe that snared former Sen. Ted Stevens. Now, two Alaska lawmakers will almost certainly be released from prison because their convictions were tainted by prosecutors' failure to disclose information to the defense, reports the Anchorage Daily News. Similar misconduct resulted in the dismissal of Stevens' conviction.
Also, the Washington Post digs up some dirt on the family that founded two Pennsylvania-based defense firms closely tied to Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) and under federal investigation. According to the Post, one of the current owners used to be a drug-runner, and his uncle—the founder—says he was tricked into selling the business to his nephews.

WIPO Industrial Design Talks Highlight Technical Assistance, Capacity Building
Members of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) made some progress last week on the draft text of a treaty on industrial design formalities. However, developed and developing country members of the WIPO trademark body found themselves at odds over proposals concerning technical assistance and capacity building under the potential treaty.
According to WIPO's definition, an industrial design refers to the aesthetic aspects of an item, such as its shape and colour. Industrial designs are applied to a large array of products, ranging from medical instruments to watches and smartphones. Discussions on possible areas of convergence between industrial design law and practice have been underway at WIPO since 2009.
The twenty-eighth session of the Standing Committee on the Law of Trademarks, Industrial Designs and Geographical Indications (SCT) - which met from 10-14 December - was entirely devoted to industrial designs, following a WIPO General Assembly decision last October to expedite the committee's work "to advance substantially the basic proposals for a Design Law Treaty." (See Bridges Weekly, 10 October 2012)
At the previous SCT session, members had been unable to reach consensus on convening a diplomatic conference - the highest level of negotiations at WIPO - to finalise an agreement that would harmonise industrial design registration formalities at the international level, leaving the decision to future meetings. (See Bridges Weekly, 26 September 2012)
"We look forward to engaging constructively towards the conclusion of a final treaty that will benefit all users, including those in developing countries and [least developed countries, or LDCs]," Belgium said on behalf of Group B, a coalition of developed countries, last week.
However, developing countries at last week's meeting took a more cautious approach, warning that "this negotiation exercise has been based mostly on the law and practise of a few developed countries."
"It is necessary that the realities and priorities of other countries be also reflected in the working documents," Brazil added on behalf of the Development Agenda Group (DAG), a coalition of WIPO like-minded countries supporting a development-oriented perspective on IP issues.
Members butt heads over technical assistance, special and differential treatment
At the WIPO General Assembly in October, the SCT was mandated to consider including "appropriate provisions regarding technical assistance and capacity building for developing countries and LDCs in the [future treaty's] implementation." During last week's discussions, however, WIPO members could not agree on the binding nature of technical assistance provisions, while also debating two different proposals on the nature of technical assistance work under the potential treaty.
The African Group, for one, submitted a proposal with four draft articles on technical assistance and capacity building to be integrated in the future treaty. The proposal asks that WIPO provide "all the appropriate equipment and technology [...] and appropriate training to the staff" of requesting countries "for operating such equipment or technology."
The proposal also requests that WIPO and its developed member states provide financial assistance to implement the treaty for at least five years from its date of entry into force. Additionally, LDCs would receive full financial support for as long as it they are considered LDCs under United Nations guidelines.
In addition to technical assistance, the African Group proposal requests that in cases when fees are charged, "applicants from developing countries shall benefit from a fee reduction of at least fifty percent," with LDCs benefiting from a fee waiver.
However, Group B said in response that "the issue of fee reduction is not relevant or appropriate for formalities treaties, which do not operate a scheme which requires fees."
The EU for its part tabled a proposal for a supplementary resolution that would be associated with - but not part of - the treaty on industrial design law and practice. The proposed resolution requests that the treaty's contracting parties and WIPO "shall seek to provide technical assistance and capacity building, as requested, by developing countries and LDCs who have signed or ratified the treaty" while also accounting for such countries' levels of technological and economic development.
The EU said that a draft resolution tracks with standing precedents for this kind of treaty, while some provisions of the African Group proposal "go beyond the existing practice and precedents, by setting up a compulsory system of technical assistance not fully in line with demand-driven technical assistance" as outlined by the Development Agenda. The DA, which aims to mainstream development into the organisation's work, establishes that WIPO technical assistance should be "development-oriented, demand-driven and transparent," taking into account the priorities and special needs of developing countries - particularly LDCs - as well as member states' varying levels of development.
At the end of the meeting, SCT chair Imre Gonda - Deputy Head of the Hungarian Intellectual Property Office - stated that the committee had made good progress on the text and that all comments made will be reflected in a revised working document for consideration by the SCT at its next session, tentatively scheduled for next May.

Any stories, advice or thoughts would be appreciated.Have my eye on a cheap 1986 Porshe 944. Has a good interior (black n' tan), straight lines, working sunroof and smooth tranny, but the engine is on its last leg and the paint is toast with some rust. I'm not planning restoration, just a summer-cruiser project.The plan is for new paint, upgraded suspension/brakes and seal the crack in the dash. The major part, and probably blasphemy to some, is putting the last miles on the engine doing the above, while preparing a GM LE9 engine swap.
MT technical problems...
... ...
Similar picsRide's like this, but sun-bleached black with some rustThe interior's in about this shape, but without the dash carpetTaking out a dead one of these (150hp)Putting in one of these (175hp and E85 capable)
Don't put in that GM engine, it's really bad quality. I recommend going on craig's list or ebay motors and finding the original engine, but one that is clean and in better shape.
VTEC just kicked in yo!
I love the 944.
As a proud own of a 1985/1 944, I can totally appreciate what you're planning... minus the GM engine If you're going to put a non-factory engine in your 944 I suggest buying an engine from Lindsay Racing, which has rebuilt engine- both turbo and NA- for 944. An addition benefit is the fact that you wont have to do extensive modifying to the engine compartment in order to make the GM unit fit.
Oh and here is the link:http://www.lindseyracing.com/LR/Parts/ENGINE944NA.html
I like the idea of a GM engine, but not a 4 cylinder. Do an LSx swap. Do a search, been done quite a few times. 400+hp, 2900lbs, how can you go wrong?

Slugs may ensure mating success with a shot to beloved's forehead, say Tübingen evolutionary biologists.
Humans are encouraged to say it with flowers, but a small marine slug prefers to inject his mate with prostate secretions while 'making love'. The Siphopteron species mates in the usual way, placing sperm inside the female's genital tract -- while also using a special cannula to deposit proteins close to her central nervous system.
Dr. Rolanda Lange, Johanna Werminghausen and Dr. Nils Anthes of the Institute of Evolution and Ecology at Tübingen University describe the process in the current online edition of Proceedings of the Royal Society B. While this kind of cephalo-traumatic secretion transfer has been observed in a number of species, this particular shot to the head is something new.
Dr. Rolanda Lange and her team of researchers suspect that the secretion contains bioactive proteins which can enter the female's nervous system to manipulate reproduction -- possibly increasing the number of eggs laid or ensuring that the most recent sperm are preferred to those of earlier mates.
And if that sound a little below the belt, bear in mind that Siphopteron is a hermaphrodite -- any "female" thus manipulated will get a chance to wear the trousers next time round.

There are restaurants that intrigue us, not because of the food so much, but because of the experience. O.Noir is certainly one of the most mysterious dining venues around town. Served by blind waiters, you eat in complete darkness.
This restaurant gives you a glimpse (if you pardon the expression) of what it feels like to be blind, even if it's just for a couple of hours. The experience is unnerving, entertaining and unforgettable. Just make sure you don't put salt in your coffee!
For added mystery, ask for the surprise dish and put your other senses to the test figuring out what you're eating. And for an evening that also tickles your ears, come on a Sunday night and dine while jazz band Les Ombres perform.

Karen Schulman's photographic exhibit strips the medium to its simplest form. The shots are square compositions taken through the lens of a Polaroid. After that, there is no complicated darkroom process or Photoshop manipulation, just childish fun to be had with whatever tool is at hand and the movement of wet emulsion.
"Everyone I've taught this process to has found it freeing," Schulman said. "Photography has gotten way too serious. But with these images, there aren't a lot of bells and whistles, and it's fun."
The images hanging in the Small Works Gallery of the Depot Art Center this month feel like life as viewed from underwater or in a dream. By blurring the lines in the photos, Schulman seems to blur their reality.
The photographs are taken with a Polaroid SX 70, a camera popular in the 1970s. The nonpeeling, self-contained, self-developing film is what made this camera so popular for casual photographers who wanted instant gratification, but also made it popular among artists. The emulsion can take as long as 30 minutes to dry, making it perfect for photo manipulation.
Schulman bought a Polaroid SX 70 in 1979. The camera spent the greater part of the past two decades in a closet. Schulman dusted it off only recently, while she was recovering from an elbow injury and was unable to lift her regular cameras.
Schulman calls the Polaroid manipulations "reverse painting," as she moves or removes the color on her tiny canvases.
One of her best images in the show is a detail of Burrishoole Abbey in County Mayo, Ireland (on the cover of 4 Points). Schulman leads photo tours to the ruins often, but had never shot it from that angle.
As her students were photographing the entire abbey and filling any frame she tried to compose, it forced her to look up, she said, for a more obscure image.

Be Aware of Implicit Bias: Take the Harvard Implicit Bias test to be aware of how subconscious bias can affect judgment.
How you can make your lab more female friendly:
- Make sure the surrounding environment is respectful of women. For example, pin-ups and misogynistic cartoons are unprofessional and should not be present in the lab.
- The university has several policies regarding parental and family leave for graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and staff. The University affords these benefits for the well being of the members of our community, and no penalty should be given to those who invoke them.
- Interactions among faculty, students and other colleagues in social events are invaluable opportunities for informal mentoring. Professional behavior extends to social settings. Be respectful of your female colleagues even if you are not at work or if you've had a few drinks, and encourage your colleagues to do the same. Watch for inappropriate language and possibly intrusive physical contact or behavior in all settings and inform colleagues when they are being disrespectful.
- Become aware of implicit bias and its role in influencing the evaluation of female or minority scientists. This study by Yale (2012) shows that individuals who claim to be objective and fair are more likely to unintentionally discriminate because of these culturally pervasive biases, but that individuals who are aware of their implicit biases can mitigate these effects somewhat. If you are the manager of your lab, make your employees and students aware of implicit bias.
- This AAUW report on women in science states that women are generally seen as likeable or competent but not both. Because competence and perceived likeability are both important for success in the workplace, make sure that the women in your lab are not met with unreasonable expectations of warmth and friendliness, and that they are not disproportionately relegated to care-giving roles (such as arranging social events, obtaining food for group lunches, etc.).

The State Of Business Technology Governance -- What's Next?
Posted by Alexander Peters, Ph.D. on October 2, 2012
- 608 Recommendations
- 0 comments
As you may know, my colleague Craig Symons and I have started an initiative to refurbish our research agenda on business technology (BT) governance. Our intention is to develop a collection of documents on "good" IT governance practices for CIOs. The research is based on facts and findings gathered through interviews with leading practitioners, case studies, survey questions, reviews of popular and state-of-the-art methodologies, and our long standing industry experience. This blog post provides you with an overview of our assumptions, the current initiative's status, what kind of questions we have answered so far, and what we plan next. Your feedback, questions, and recommendations are warmly welcome!
We are building the research on a few basic assumptions: BT governance and "good" IT governance are the same. We define them as a conscious effort by senior executives to establish strategies, structures, processes, and measurements for the management of technology to boost business results. We assumed also that the current wave of tech innovation affects not only how information workers and IT departments manage devices and services but also how business executives evaluate, drive, and monitor IT-related decisions.
At this stage, we have verified our assumptions through interviews with governance and industry experts and reviewed several consulting engagements and case studies. We have also launched a global survey, which we invite you to take.
After publishing the first document in our new collection a few weeks ago — "The Future Of Business Technology Governance" — we completed the drafts of three methodology documents last week: "The What And How Of BT Decision-Making"; its sister document, "The Who Of BT Decision-Making"; and "The BT Governance Maturity Model." Please stay tuned for their publication in the course of October 2012. The questions we have addressed so far are:
1) How do existing practices for IT governance need to change under the impact of technology innovations such as mobile, social, business analytics, BPM, and cloud?
2) What BT governance capabilities (i.e., processes, roles, and structures) are required to make BT governance work?
3) How do you assess the maturity of these capabilities?
4) What is the best strategy for changing/improving IT governance when moving to BT?
During the next three months, we will add two more documents to our collection. The first one summarizes practitioners' views. As already mentioned, we have recently interviewed several top experts from leading consultancies and service management firms. We plan to summarize their insights into a recommendations document. The second document will focus on BT governance performance measurements and communications.
Please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or recommendations. Watch also for more details around our initiative in the coming days. Thank you!

|Half Baths
|3,900 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
This beautiful five bedroom, five bath home is located in the historical Wranglers Roost. Wranglers Roost was a stage coach stop in the late 1800's and then built as a resort in 1930. Fully renovated, while still keeping the old time Western flavor of the original resort, Wranglers Roost offers several acres of play area, the perfect place for your family get together.
The beautiful resort sized pool and an inviting 10 person hot tub in a stunning desert setting provides an exceptional evening setting from which to experience Arizona's unrivaled sunsets. The stars are almost close enough to touch as the location feels far from city lights as the Gavilan peak mountain blocks of the rest of the world. The resort includes 2 built in BBQ pits, a sand volley court, children's play area, plenty of room to explore.
Conveniently located approximately 40 minutes north of Phoenix's Sky Harbor International airport at exit #232 on Highway 17. New River is located away from the hustle and bustle of Phoenix, yet an easy drive to Carefree, Cave Creek, Scottsdale and Sedona, or a day trip to the Grand Canyon. Wake boarding and skiing are possible within 20 minutes at Lake Pleasant and downhill skiing and snowboarding are only 2 hours away in Flagstaff. There is great shopping at the Outlet Mall at Anthem (about a ten minute drive). Two old western restaurants and bars are within minutes of the resort and just 5 minutes away and there is a Walmart Supercenter that is open 24 hours. In Anthem, just a few minutes away, children will love the numerous parks and play areas, including the train, skate board park. You can golf at more than 25 golf courses that are within 40 minutes of this resort.
The home is completely furnished, two double beds in the first bedrooms, a king sized bed in the second, two queen beds in the third, a king bed in the fourth, and two twin sized beds in the fifth bedroom. The resort is kid friendly, yet accommodating for all your entertaining as well. It has a very large dining room with tables and chairs that will accommodate up to 60 people with a flat screen TV that is ready to be hooked to your computer for a presentation.
Dish network is included as well as WiFi. Fun, spacious, relaxing, enjoyable. Come spend a week at Wranglers Roost!
We had our Wedding here on April 2nd 2016. It was the most amazing place to have a Rustic Country Wedding. The Owners were so gracious with every request we had to view and come set up the Venue. I couldn't have asked for a better place to hold my Wedding. I definitely would recommend this Wranglers Roost to anyone looking for the Rustic Western feel for a Wedding. The house is beautiful and I wish we could have stayed for a few days. I want to thank the family so very much for letting us make so many memories here. We will be back for a stay with friends and family to just relax and take in the beauty this place has to offer. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts.
A fun, spacious, entertaining pad to share with family and friends. Special memories were made here! Highly recommended.
Our family spent Thanksgiving at Wranglers Roost. We have 7 grandchildren ages 3 -23, there was something for all. We made S'mores, played sand volleyball, archery, watched movies and played family games. We cooked a turkey and all the usual side dishes, there was adequate seeting at the dinning room tables. We had a great time. Would rent again.
Our family, with adult children, stayed here the week after Christmas and had a wonderful time. Heidi even decorated the living room for Christmas. We were delighted with the historic, rustic central structure of the home, and also appreciated the lovely, modern, clean kitchen and bathrooms,TV/movie room, and wifi. We enjoyed using the hot tub in the evening, and the star gazing was terrific away from city lights. The location was perfect for day trips to Phoenix, the Grand Canyon, and Sedona where we found scenic hiking trails and wildlife. The house was also only about 15 minutes from grocery stores and shops that we needed. When we had questions or needed help or service/maintenance, Heidi or one of her family members responded quickly. As the house was originally a stage coach stop, and then added onto over the years, it is oriented with all the rooms in a line. Traffic flow through the house goes from the kitchen and living room to the game room, then through a bedroom, then bathroom, then next bedroom, bathroom, next bedroom, etc. However, there are doors to the outside porch from each bedroom so that you can go out and around to get to the kitchen or living room if one of the rooms is occupied. Our family had a happy and very memorable week at Wrangler's Roost and would recommend it for any other large family gathering.
All of us enjoyed the time we spent there. The owners were very helpful. The pool was perfect and everything in the house was clean.
We would like to thank you again for everything you did to ensure we had the best stay ever at Wranglers Roost! Words cannot describe how beautiful it was! We definitely had an amazing time and we all agree that we will have to make another trip to Wranglers Roost in the future. Thanks again for everything!

After searching for a couple of weeks, I was finally able to find a 04 WRX in my area. Luckily, I got the car for about ~$2000 under blue book because there was a price typo in the ad and the dealer honored it.
I went from an '86 Chevy 4x4 pickup to this and whoa! This is only my second car because I'm 20-years-old. It's my first manual transmission so I have a lot of learning to do, but at least I feel confident enough to drive it outside of the neighborhood. If you have any pointers, feel free to let me know.
The only problem that I've come across so far is the stereo. Half of the buttons don't even work. The dealer threw in a $60-70 Kenwood deck, but I'm debating if I want to put it in, or buy something else.
Couple of questions:
The car doesn't have any type of alarm system right now. Does anyone know how much does a decent one costs and can you recommend some brands? Also, my current lock/unlock remote is kind of crappy to say the least. Would a new alarm system replace my current lock/unlock remote? Should I get LoJack?
I only received two keys. The sub-master and valet. How much would it cost to have a new master key made from a Subaru dealer?

Where I stayed
Another day in transit. Caught the boat back to the main land and just as it pulled out I remember that I had left my board shorts (and later also had a pair of missing jocks) on the balcony of the hostel where I had hang them to dry. I even remember about them first thing in the morning but stupidly didnt grab them then and there. Actually like the board shorts so a bit disappointed I lost them. Though this isnt the first time and Im sure it wont be the last time I do it.
Got to love the taxi drivers. Shared a cab with another couple from the boat to the bus stop and then the driver continued to the border. Wanted to charge both of us the full far to each of our destinations even though we were sharing the cab. Ended up paying him $5 less than he had originally wanted (which he accepted after a bit of grumbling) but am sure he charged the other couple in the car the full fair
Nice bus ride through the country with lots of mountains and gorges along the way. Ended up arriving in San Jose but not at the location I expected. Also didnt feel like trying to get a fair price out a taxi driver so decided to risk the 1.5km walk to the hostel.
While I wasnt where I expected I was lucky in that in most central american cities the street signs are easy enough to follow even though you only find one in every five. Nice thing about streets in a lot of these cities is the fact that they are sequentially numbered so you can count off the number of streets you need to pass provided you can find at least one sign. Walk was nice enough and at least the downtown part of town seems fairly clean and modern.
Checked in and unfortunately no dorm rooms available so I had to get a single room. After dumping the bag wandered out onto the streets to do some internet stuff. On the way walked past a yoga place which was just about to start a class and ended up walking in to do it.
Spent the rest of the evening processing photos and trying to clear the backlog of blog entries
Day 2 - Town, National Museum
Flight not until later in the day and so decided to wander around the town for a few hours as well as down to the airport bus station so that I knew where to go later in the day when I had my pack. Lots of police around and your typical business people in centro with no streets vendors. Wasnt until I got near the bus station that people selling things on the street started to appear.
Along the way decided to stop off at the National museum. This was on a hill that gave a nice view of the city as well as had some interesting local exhibits. Walking around the town found it to be a busy and vibrant place.
Found that on the way to find the bus station for the bus to the airport the city center started to look more and more like the other central american capitals Ive seen. That is, in the very city center you see a fair few middle class locals and businessmen. As you head further out of the center you start to get more and more street vendors and other people appearing on the streets.
An hour before my flight, headed back to the hostel, got my bag and headed to the bus station. Bus definately the bettter option (provided it dropped me near the terminal) since the cost of a ticket was less than $1 while a taxi was $20.
While catching the bus was a bit worried about missing the flight since I had caught a later bus than expected and there was a lot of traffic. Thankfully bus managed to miss some of this by using the bus lane.
Ended up getting dropped off right next to the terminal and found that checkin only took me a few minutes. A lot less than expected so had some time to kill before my flight.

I can not see fan photos either!!
I'm not seeing fan photos today. Where there should be pic only a red x appears in the upper lefthand corner.
I'll go to the site and see my name on the Who's Online list.
say more. Do you log out and find yourself logged in in another window, or ???
I've been currently online a lot this week when I'm not. Kind of strange. It's not like anybody I know has my password or anything.
Are you having this problem with the upload photo function for the photo (of yourself, usually) that appears on your profile, or with the Upload Fan Photo function?
I'm using Mac OSX 4 and with both Firefox and Safari, I can't upload a picture into my profile.

Hi folks. We appear to have had some technical Issues yesterday. I'm waiting for word from the intrepid techs as to what's up, but meanwhile, welcome back and fasten them seat belts!
this electronic stuff has some weird powers,could not join the deadnet at any cost.first some weird alien was grinning at me and than google said that they never heard of something like the deadnet......but at least the shop was working,so i could order myself a cup for the tea,to calm down......peace and understanding(to PCs too!!)P.S.but what happened anyway,if its explainable.thanks

Plastic optic fibres are 1-millimetre diameter threads, similar to a guitar string. Nowadays, optic fibres are used in the home, cars, trains and aeroplanes, for example.
How is the information transmitted?
At one end of the fibre the light source, either LED or laser, is attached. Lasers are faster and, thereby, can send greater quantities of information; but they are also more expensive.

Happy Friday Stampers!
Well we avoided the severe weather last night. We did have rain and wind and there were rumors of a few tornadoes but nothing verified. Today is supposed to be cooler so I am hoping to be able to do some dreaded weeding.
Today is our Sketch Frenzy Friday challenge. This week our sketch was created by Sharon Wheet
I wanted to try some different colors and I saw a color combo on a forum- Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, and Early Espresso. I decided to use them for this challenge. I like this color combination. Here is what I created.
inside of card and envelope
I hope you enjoyed my card today. Head on over to the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog to see what the other ladies created using this sketch. Will you be playing along with us this week? We would love to see what you came up with using this sketch. Thanks for looking and have a Fabulous Friday!

The Golden Globes Were Pretty Gay
Despite the fact that Heath Ledger didn't win the Best Actor Drama prize for his role as the gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain, the ceremony was still a gay-ole-time. Phillip Seymor Hoffman won for his role as Truman Capote in Capote, and Felicity Huffman (she had a very touching speech) won for her role as the transsexual in Transamerica. Brokeback Mountain took home awards for Best Film (Drama), screenplay, director, and song.
It was the television actor winners that proved to be the most humorous in their speeches. Geena Davis, who won for Best Actress Drama for Commander in Chief, was probably the most humorous (lying to the audience is always funny). Steve Carroll who won for The Office had a pretty humorous speech as well.
Now lets get down to the nitty gritty of it all. Boobs. Two women's boobs bothered me throughout the entire evening. Mariah Carey's and Drew Barrymore's. First off, Mariah. We get it. You love showing off the ta-tas. You've got a great pair. But what was up with the trying to act sexy while reading off the Best Song nominees? And that plastered smile she had on her face throughout the whole evening. She looked like her face was frozen in place.
More boob talk after the jump.
Drew Barrymore. Have you heard of a bra? Your tits were hanging down to your waist! And what was up with that dress. Hideous. Just hideous.
I almost forgot about Pamela Anderson's boobs. They looked like they were being hoisted by a sling. Don't get me started on her cheap looking hairstyle either. Take some notes from Scarlett. That's some good cleavage.
Other notable moments. Harrison Ford looked like he was a crazed stoned zombie. Which he is. Jonathan Rhys Meyers proved his is humorless. Was that a bra strap or part of Gwyneth's dress that was hanging down during her introduction of Anthony Hopkins?
Who didn't look so hot? The boob ladies mentioned above. Oh, and Melanie Griffith who looked like a cheap whore.

Best Vet in Town!!
Unfortunately, I've seen many vets this year; however, when I found Love Pet Clinic I decided to look no further, this is it! This vet pays close attention to the pets and has a very calming personality (a HUGE PLUS for nervous little chis).
Extraordinary Care - geriatric and puppy -love!
Greetings! I am a 2-year old Corgi "Zeke"and I totally love Dr. Carolyn Love! She and Dr. Geoff Wisbrouk absolutely rock! I met them almost two years ago as a baby pup! For sure, they speak 'dawg'! There are not enough superlatives to describe their compassion to my parents Donald and Ellen over the final two years of life for my 19-year-old senior citizen big brother "Buckshot." Dr. Love is credentialed in veterinarian chiropractic medicine, acupuncture, and Chinese herbal medicine. You cannot imagine how lighter was the step of Buckshot upon returning home from those treatments - wow! Buckshot lived all over the east coast, California, and here in Austin for his final resting days on the planet - Mom and Dad say Dr. Love is extraordinary! The offices are consistently clean. The professional staff is 'service excellence' and - very important! - sensitive to the illness of your pet as well as to your anxiety. And they sure love me as a growing young fella! You must go learn for yourself: there are angels at work at Love Pet Hospital, Austin.posted: February 27th, 2007
