Great Pyrenees Temperament
What's Good About 'Em,
What's Bad About 'Em
Great Pyrenees Temperament, Personality, Behavior, Traits, and Characteristics, by Michele Welton. Copyright © 2000-2016
The AKC Standard describes the Great Pyrenees as "strong willed, independent, and somewhat reserved, yet attentive, fearless, and loyal to his charges -- both human and animal."
A majestic-looking dog with a kindly, regal expression, the Great Pyrenees is calm, composed, and serious.
As an adult, he is quiet indoors and content with long daily walks and regular opportunities to stretch out. He does love to romp in the snow, and pulling a cart or carrying a backpack gives him a purpose in life.
Aloof with strangers, he should be accustomed to many different people in his early months.
The Great Pyrenees is patient with his own family's children, but some are overprotective when neighbors join in for rough-and-tumble play. Likewise, he may be protective of his own family's pets while aggressively driving off others.
These characteristics stem from his background as a livestock guardian, where he was expected to keep watch over the flock, making his own decisions about friends and foes and appropriate actions. Unless you establish yourself as the alpha (number one), the Great Pyrenees will trust his own judgment and do whatever he pleases. This breed is not an eager-to-please Golden Retriever.
Great Pyrenees have a deep, impressive bark, which they tend to use freely, especially at night when they are most vigilant.
Fences must be secure, for Pyrs have a tendency to roam. Some produce "slime" (excessive saliva).
If you want a dog who...
- Is very large and rugged, resembling a majestic white bear
- Will protect your horses, llamas, sheep, goats, or chickens
- Can be found with a strong protective temperament, or a more easygoing mellow temperament
- Tends to be serious and steady, rather than playful and silly
- Is quiet indoors and content with moderate exercise
A Great Pyrenees may be right for you.
If you don't want to deal with...
- A very large dog who takes up a lot of space in your house and car
- A heavy dog who wants to sit on your feet and lean his weight against your leg
- Destructiveness when bored or left alone too much
- Aggression toward animals who don't belong to his family
- Strong-willed mind of his own, requiring a confident owner who can take charge
- Providing secure fences and lots of supervision to prevent wandering
- Deep booming barks
- Very heavy shedding
A Great Pyrenees may not be right for you.
- choosing the RIGHT breeder and the RIGHT puppy
- or choosing an ADULT dog from your animal shelter or rescue group – a dog who has already proven that he doesn't have negative traits
- training your dog to respect you
- avoiding health problems by following my daily care program in 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy
More traits and characteristics of the Great Pyrenees
If I was considering a Great Pyrenees, I would be most concerned about...
- Providing the proper balance of exercise. Young Great Pyrenees need enough exercise to keep them lean and healthy, but not so much that their soft growing bones, joints, and ligaments become over-stressed and damaged. Adult Great Pyrenees need more exercise to keep them in shape, but not in hot or humid weather for fear of overheating. The proper amount of exercise can be difficult to regulate in giant breeds.
Since you have to minimize their exercise, young Great Pyrenees can be very rambunctious. They will romp with uncoordinated gawkiness all over your house. You need to substitute extra quantities of companionship and supervision. Otherwise, left alone, young Great Pyrenees become bored and destructive -- and their powerful jaws can literally destroy your living room.
Great Pyrenees are most satisfied when guarding livestock. You can substitute pulling a cart or sled, or backpacking, or a similar canine activity, but if you simply want a casual pet for your family, I do not recommend this breed. Great Pyrenees were never intended to be simply household pets.
- Providing enough socialization. Great Pyrenees need extensive exposure to friendly people so they learn to recognize the normal behaviors of "good guys." Then they can recognize the difference when someone acts abnormally. Without careful socialization, they may be suspicious of everyone.
- Animal aggression. Most Great Pyrenees will treat the pets in their own family as members of their flock. But they have strong instincts to drive away animals who do not belong to their family. Many Great Pyrenees are dominant or aggressive toward dogs they don't know. Many do not get along with cats. If anything goes wrong in the breeding, socializing, training, handling, or management of this breed, it is capable of seriously injuring or killing other animals.
- Heavy shedding. Great Pyrenees shed a LOT. You'll find hair and fur all over your clothing, upholstery, carpeting, under your furniture -- even in your food.
- The strong temperament. Great Pyrenees have an independent mind of their own and are not pushovers to raise and train. They can be manipulative, and some are willful, obstinate, and dominant (they want to be the boss) and will make you prove that you can make them do things. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say.
To teach your Great Pyrenees to listen to you, "Respect Training" is mandatory. My Great Pyrenees Training Page discusses the program you need.
- Noise. Unless you live on a farm or ranch away from close neighbors, Great Pyrenees should never be left outside in your yard, unsupervised. Their booming barks will have your neighbors calling the cops to report the nuisance -- or perhaps letting your Great Pyrenees out of his yard so he'll wander away.
Frankly, most Great Pyrenees are "too much dog" for the average household. This is a serious working dog with tremendous strength. Very few people really have the knowledge or skills necessary to manage this breed, or to provide the activities that keep him most satisfied.
To learn more about training Great Pyrenees to be calm and well-behaved, consider my dog training book,
Teach Your Dog 100 English Words.
It's a unique Vocabulary and Respect Training Program that will make your Great Pyrenees the smartest, most well-behaved companion you've ever had.
Teaches your dog to listen to you, to pay attention to you, and to do whatever you ask him to do.
My dog buying guide, Dog Quest: Find The Dog Of Your Dreams, will teach you everything you need to know about finding a healthy Great Pyrenees puppy. Health problems have become so widespread in dogs today that this book is required reading for ANYONE who is thinking of getting a purebred, crossbred, or mixed breed dog.
If you'd like to consult with me personally about whether the Great Pyrenees might be a good dog breed for your family, I offer a Dog Breed Consulting Service.
Once you have your Great Pyrenees home, you need to KEEP him healthy -- or if he's having any current health problems, you need to get him back on the road to good health.
My dog health care book, 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy is the book you need.
Raise your dog the right way and you will be helping him live a longer, healthier life while avoiding health problems and unnecessary veterinary expenses.
Please consider adopting an ADULT Great Pyrenees...
When you're acquiring a Great Pyrenees PUPPY, you're acquiring potential -- what he one day will be. So "typical breed characteristics" are very important.
But when you acquire an adult dog, you're acquiring what he already IS and you can decide whether he is the right dog for you based on that reality. There are plenty of adult Great Pyrenees who have already proven themselves NOT to have negative characteristics that are "typical" for their breed. If you find such an adult dog, don't let "typical breed negatives" worry you. Just be happy that you found an atypical individual -- and enjoy!

I love to read instructions. I'm a protocol driven person. That's the way my brain is set up but I realize that occasionally that sometimes one has to deviate from the manual and make an executive decision. Maybe I didn't make it to the end of the internet to fully give all the answers to all my questions leads me to write this.
My packages are due to arrive by the second week of April and I have a few questions concerning FL frames.
1. Should I dump them in a hive body with all FL frames? Of course I know to remove a few frames to install the package.
2. Should I checker board the FL frames with Fframes?
3. Out of 1 & 2, which one has the greatest chance of bees leaving the hive?
4. leave the queen caged or not?
5. Hang the queen or not?
Any step instructions would be quite helpful.
Thanks in advance for all the answers you provide

Star winger Rick Nash of the New York Rangers was injured while playing for HC Davos in a game Friday in the Swiss League.
Nash, acquired in a trade by the Rangers from Columbus over the summer, suffered a shoulder injury after being hit into the boards. He played one more shift before leaving.
A source confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com that Nash's injury is not serious and that an MRI showed no structural damage. Nash is believed to have suffered a bone bruise on his shoulder, and is listed as day to day.
"Rick was taken out for precautionary reasons," Nash's agent, Joe Resnick, told ESPN.com. "He'll be re-evaluated over the next few days by the team (Davos), and we'll see the extent of the injury, if any."
Nash is playing in Davos along with fellow NHL star Joe Thornton of the San Jose Sharks. The two players also played for Davos during the 2004-05 NHL lockout.
Information from ESPNNewYork.com's Katie Strang and The Associated Press was used in this report.

May Showers (of Wine) Bring Happy Hours
Depression. Anxiety. Pink eye. Inflated self-worth. Hemorrhoids. Rabies. You name it, bacon can cure it.
It's such a lovely time of year - but not so lovely that it couldn't be made a little lovelier. Tip a glass or few of these fine wines and let their euphoric glow bring a sparkling sense of well-being to sunny and blustery days alike. Also they're super-cheap.


text: it overheated on a mountain road the other day.... miles and miles of cruising in 2nd and 3rd gear caused it to boil over at about 240 X( so i filled in that 2.5 inch gap radius around the fan with some fabed up sheet metal (ill take pics later) and ill try again. clearly it was not drawing enough air through the radiator. im thinking that 3,000 CMF may not be enough to cool the engine under steady load for that long.... now that the seal is tighter hopefully it will now draw the full 3000 cfm through the radiator. but i may have just wasted $140.... in other news, my gas millage is up my 3mpg to a tank range of over 450 miles

Meyler defends skipper Cattermole
Sunderland midfielder David Meyler has voiced his support for club captain Lee Cattermole following his recent red card against MK Dons in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday.
Meyler, 23, described his captain as "gutted" following the dismissal, which drew criticism from manager Martin O'Neill.
But, although it was the fifth such incident of Cattermole's Sunderland career, the Republic of Ireland international believes his skipper does not need to change his game.
"Everyone who knows Lee Cattermole knows that he plays with his heart on his sleeve," Meyler told the Sunderland Echo. "It was just a ball that he went for and thought he could win. The referee decided it was a red card and I'm sure the club will look back on it and see what they think.
"But Lee is gutted himself because he always wants to do everything he can to help the team. It's done now and there's nothing that anyone can do. It's not something we'll spend too long thinking about as players."
Meanwhile, the former Cork City player also confirmed his willingness to be Sunderland's utility man, with the midfielder keen to play in any position that sees him named in the starting eleven - he had to slot in at centre-half on Tuesday.
"It's a long time since I've played at centre-half, if at all. Maybe I did a bit when I was younger, although I can't really remember," he said. "There were maybe occasions where someone was sent off and I slotted in, but never in an important cup match like on Tuesday night. I've never played there in a game like that before.
"A couple of days before the game, one of the coaches asked if I'd ever played there before because a few of the lads were either injured or being rested for the weekend. I just said that I'd play anywhere if it meant an opportunity to play for Sunderland. I was then told I would be in the team and that was fantastic, and we're all delighted that we got the win.
"The manager knows I'll play anywhere just to play. If he wants me to play centre-half, right-back, central midfield or whatever, that's fine. I'll play wherever for him."
Tuesday's game also saw the much anticipated return of Adam Johnson to the first team after a spell out with injury.
And O'Neill was delighted at having his £10 million signing from Manchester City back on the pitch.
"I brought Adam on to give him a few minutes on the pitch." O'Neill told the club's official website. "The second goal helped make my mind up about that. I wanted to bring him on and make him feel involved again. We'll see how he is after that cameo and try and get him fit and ready for Saturday."

Kid's Room Inspiration: Five Great Ideas
We've decided to stay in our home for another year and so we'll be finishing up the kid's rooms. For the past year each of the kids have had one big square of the color they'd like on the wall. When people come over they ask if we're painting. I like to look at them confused and answer "No, why?" Ha! Lazy home decorator humor!
Here's a collection of five great ideas I've had stored in my bookmarks.
Check out this recreation of the Kura loft bed from Ikea. From Ikea Hacker:
Luke got a Kura bed for his young daughter Letty. However he hated the blue panels on it. So he flipped the panels the other way round so the white sides were facing out and then used aerosol chalkboard paint to turn the tall end into a chalkboard for her.
I love this DIY nursery art idea. Using three paper mache art boards, paint, paper and ribbon Evie created this really striking art for nursery walls. I think I can use this idea in my daughter's room too, provided I use the right images. Which, in her opinion should be photos of The Jonas Brothers.
Another excellent DIY idea for the walls is this poster size print at Black Eiffel framed as four separate images hung together. This would be cute in a kid's room or even in other rooms in the house with pictures of your kid (s). Since my kid's aren't babies anymore, I could see using pictures of them with their best pals or a family photo instead.
The other thing I love is kid's bedroom eye candy. Anna Spiro at Absolutely Beautiful Things has this great collection of ideas. My favorite pick above. I especially love the collection of Pez dispensers displayed on the wainscoting along with the great vintage red school chairs.
Even more inspiration can be found over at House To Home's kid's room inspiration gallery. This room particularly caught my eye because of my little girl's insistence on a room involving fucshia and orange. These are colors I never exactly imagined together and I fear the combination will radiate right through the wall into my bedroom and I'll never sleep again. I like how the white balances out the intensity of the accent colors.
Now to convince my daughter this is all her idea.

Really excited about this!
On digital experiences, Open Source, startups & the future
A month ago we started the Drupal 8 alpha cycle to encourage module developers to test out Drupal 8 and to try upgrading their modules. Today, we published the second alpha release of Drupal 8: Drupal 8.x alpha 2!
I think it is exciting that after years of hard work by many, we have now begun to post alpha releases.
The purpose of alpha releases is to allow module developers to identify API deficiencies while they can still be corrected. We want Drupal's API to be easy to learn, easy to use (even without documentation), hard to misuse, easy to read and maintain, and easy to extend. Good API design really matters and we only have one chance to get it right so please download the alpha release, try upgrading some contributed modules, and provide us feedback along with suggestions for improvement.
Time is of the essence as API changes to Drupal 8 are only allowed for a little longer. We're about to enter the polish phase of the Drupal 8 development cycle, where we will soon switch to beta releases and no longer allow API changes unless needed to fix release blocking issues. From then on, most API improvements will have to wait until Drupal 9.
Really excited about this!
I will need to have a check on the alpha version. "Feeling excited!"
Isn't it a bit late for that, one week before API freeze?
Also, links to some documentation about how to upgrade would be very useful. Currently, lack of encouraging words isn't what's stopping at least me from upgrading.
API freeze means that all major API changes need to be in (there's still lots of conversions to new APIs in progress though and some old ones marked deprecated). However if there are deficiencies in new APIs that prevent contrib modules from porting to Drupal 8, there's plenty of time to make alterations before release. The API freeze isn't to stop any change at all, it's to stop changes that will make it harder for people to port contrib modules and to concentrate on cleaning up and bugfixing all the changes that are already in.
On instructions, apart from ones in the queue to be written, every API change that's known about is documented at https://drupal.org/list-changes/drupal, some of those also link to broader documentation about new APIs. Also https://drupal.org/node/1911346 is a walkthrough for pants module.
This will be a major phase for Drupal to move into the mainstream. The combination of D8 and the SOTA of web development will make interactive real website creation accessible to giant new groups of people. I think this is a tipping point.
Looking forward to giving this a better try, and congratulations all!
@drunken monkey, this is a great example module that illustrates D7 to D8 module upgrade.
Excited about the alpha release looking forward to try it
Wow ... It's a good news ..I have to try this version..
This is a huge point for drupal, not only with the amount of features they have been able to move into the core, but with all the insight with the SOTA! Great stuff, look forward to upgrading!
What does this mean for translators? I just posted details on https://localize.drupal.org/node/5853 - although Drupal 8.0 alpha2 is now technically available for translation, there is lots of background info to consider, see there.
I love the fact that you stress the API so much. It's hard to create a good API and takes a lot of effort.
I had the impression that in discussions about the Oracle vs Goole case : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_v._Google this was often forgotten.
Thanks for posting and thus reaffirming the importance of API design. It never hurts when an authority like yourself speaks up on these things.

My first order of business upon receiving a 2013 Grom 125 testbike involved rolling the bike onto Cycle World's Dynojet dynamometer to measure the ponies corralled in Honda's Shetland-size sportbike. To better show the performance gains of the new liquid-cooled, 296cc parallel-Twin, we've laid dyno graphs of a 2011 Honda Grom 250R and 2011 Honda CBR250R—both of which had been previously tested on our dyno—over that of the Grom 125.
A substantial bump in power output has allowed Honda to fit the 125 with significantly taller overall gearing than what is used on either of the 250s, resulting in a much more relaxed riding experience. While it's plain to see the sizable boost in peak horsepower the Grom 125 offers relative to its 250-class competition, don't underestimate the significant 4-to-6 foot-pound torque advantage the Grom 125 maintains throughout its entire rev range.
On the road, the Grom 125 has sufficient low-end torque to keep pace with city traffic without exceeding 6000 rpm at each upshift. The ultra-smooth-revving 125 feels far less busy at freeway speeds, as well, and it now has enough performance headroom to accelerate from 75 mph in top gear without toeing the shifter. Bottom line: The newly added flash-to-pass switch located on the left handlebar is no gimmick.
Move over, VW Golf TDI and Prius prudes, we're teed-up and playin' through at 70 mpg!

Westwood Elementary first grade teacher Stefanie Self signals touchdown as first grader Mason Fullington scores a math TD at the school's Math Tailgating Party on Monday afternoon. He is the son of Erin Fullington of Westlake. (Rick Hickman / Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 9:41 AM
By Warren Arceneaux / American Press
WESTLAKE — Fractions, not football, was the focus at Westwood Elementary's Math Tailgating events, which combined food and fun while allowing students to demonstrate what is required of them to fulfill the state's new Common Core standards.
Students and teachers participated in games that stressed math skills. At the Second Grade station, students and parents tossed bean bags into holes with varying point values, then received a card with the corresponding number. After three tosses, players used the cards to create the largest number possible. Teams competed on each side, and students compared numbers on each side.
The game matched the second graders' current studies of place values and comparisons
"We also have a worksheet with Saints scores that the students use to compare numbers, and they can make predictions on the sheets as well," said second grade teacher Kayla Fournerat.
"We are using math terminology as well, using terms like 'digit' and comparative terms like 'greater than,' and 'less than,'" Angelle Larson, also a second grade teacher, said.
The event is held in part to help get parents involved.
"We are trying to get the parents involved to see what is going on in our classrooms," said teacher Marilyn Reed.
"Most of the teachers are doing things they are already doing in the classroom, whatever concept we are teaching. Parents can see what they are doing so they can go back and help the kids at home. When the kids see their parents involved, they get excited. When the parents see the kids excited, they get excited. It creates a good, full, circle."
Michelle Ortego, a fourth grade teacher, manned a station that focused on place value and multiple digit subtraction. She said the event will give parents an understanding of what their children are being asked to do.
"It shows the parents the content of the Common Core curriculum, how it is going to be set up, how rigorous it is, and shows them how the kids not only have to show their work, but explain it," said Ortego. "There is a lot more to it than it used to be."
"We are trying to promote community school involvement," said principal Jerry Treme.
"We have a lot of that. We want parents to realize how rigorous the curriculum is, how much work we are asking them to do at home to help the teacher and reinforce the skills. A lot of the parents leaving here saying 'Wow, I didn't know the new standards were this tough.' It is a rigorous curriculum, that is why we ask the parents to reinforce the skills every day at home. It has gotten a lot tougher. We can't stress enough that the parents have to be involved with the children's education."
In addition to the games, members of the Westlake High School band and cheerleading squad performed, and helped paint faces of the elementary students.

Shilpa Shetty still looking for a new guy
The actress decided that her project with Manish wasn't working out in the recession-ridden market. It was proving to be too expensive to make good business sense. After that film got shelved, the actress began concentrating on the smaller film.
For the last few months, along with Nagesh, Shilpa has been looking for a new boy for the film. Both of them are frustrated because they haven't been able to find the lad. Mrs Kundra has now decided that if she doesn't get the right pair for the film, she won't produce it."
Busy, busy
A source close to the actress adds, "Shilpa has been leading a very hectic lifestyle of late. First, it was the IPL. After that, she has been travelling a lot with Raj for their business commitments. Now she wants to take a break and spend more time with Raj and their families. She isn't worried about the films being in limbo. Her next release with Sunny Deol, The Man, is still not complete and she is now keen to finish that and then focus on spending time with her husband."
Shilpa admits, "Yes, Manish's film has been shelved. As far as Nagesh's film is concerned, we are still looking at finding the casting."

A holistic understanding of web design elements
Park, Ji Yong (2009) A holistic understanding of web design elements. Journal of Digital Design, 9(1), pp. 183-191.
Web design elements are significantly important for web designers to understand target users in terms of effective communication design and to develop a successful web site. However, web design elements generally known are broad and various that are hardly conceived and classified, so many practitioners and design researchers approach to web design elements based on graphic and visual design that mainly focus on print media design. This paper discusses about web design elements in terms of online user experience, as web media certainly differs from print media. It aims to propose a fundamentally new concept, called 'UEDUs: User Experience Design Units' which enables web designers to define web design elements and conceptualise user experience depending on the purpose of web site development.

Transposition (law)
In European Union law, transposition is a process by which the European Union's member states give force to a directive by passing appropriate implementation measures.[1] Transposition is typically done by either primary legislation or secondary legislation.
The European Commission closely monitors that transposition is timely, correctly done and implemented, so as to attain the results intended.[2] Incorrect transposition may be the result of non acting (leaving aside certain provisions), diverging (other scope, definition or requirement), "gold-plating" (exceeding the requirements of the directive), "double-banking" (overlapping between existing national laws and the transposed directive), or "regulatory creep" (overzealous enforcement or a state of uncertainty in the status of the regulation).[3]
The European Commission may bring a case in the European Court of Justice against states which have not transposed directives adequately.[4] Additionally, any individual or business in a Member State may lodge a complaint with the Commission about the incorrect or delayed transposition of an EU directive or "for any measure (law, regulation or administrative action) or practice attributable to a Member State which they consider incompatible with a provision or a principle of EU law".[5]
The Commission publishes an annual report summarising how EU law has been transposed, with statistics on the numbers and types of infringements, per country and sector.[6]

USC Men's Volleyball Upsets No. 3 Pepperdine
March 21, 2013
Robert Feathers, Cristian Rivera and Austin Rysyk each had double figures in kills and the No. 15-ranked USC men's volleyball team served 12 aces as the Trojans upset No. 3 Pepperdine, 19-25, 25-19, 27-25, 25-18, in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation match on Thursday (March 21) at USC's Lyon Center.
USC improved to 5-13 overall and in the MPSF, snapping a 5-match losing skid. Pepperdine dropped to 12-7 overall and 11-7 in the MPSF. It was the Trojans' seventh victory over the Waves in the past 9 meetings (and fourth in the last 5).
The match was played in the Lyon Center, USC's former home court before moving into the Galen Center in 2007, because of a prior booking in the Galen Center.
USC's season-high 12 aces were its most in a match since getting 13 versus Ohio State in 2010. Six of those aces came in the fourth set. Micah Christenson had 5 aces in the match and Alex Slaught added 4.
Feathers, who hit .632 overall, had 13 kills, while Rivera added 11 and Rysyk had 10 while making just his fifth start of the season. Along with his ace total, Christenson had 5 blocks and 5 digs. Josh Kirchner posted 7 blocks. Henry Cassiday had 6 digs.
For Pepperdine, Maurice Torres had 21 kills while hitting .351 and he added 3 aces and 5 digs. Josh Taylor had 12 kills, 6 digs and 4 blocks, while Parker Kalmbach had 6 blocks.
USC hit .284 to the Waves' .250.
With USC leading 12-11 in the first set, Pepperdine scored 7 of the next 8 points to take an 18-13 lead and the Trojans never threatened as the Waves hit .654 in the set and served 3 aces.
USC returned the favor in the second set, scoring 8 of 9 points to forge a 15-8 lead and Troy never looked back as it got 5.0 blocks and 3 aces in the set.
The Trojans trailed 8-3 in the third set, but they caught up at 19-19 and then captured the set on back-to-back-to-back points via kills by Slaught and Feathers sandwiching a Christenson ace.
Troy used a 4-0 run in the fourth set to go up 12-9 and steadily pulled away to claim the upset.
USC next goes on the road for a pair of MPSF matches, at No. 11 Cal Baptist on March 28 and at No. 1 BYU on March 30.

NADA Chairman: Franchised Dealers Provide Price Competition, Safety and Local Economic Benefits
Forrest McConnell: More than 4,000 General Motors dealers nationwide are gearing up to take care of their customers
NEW YORK (April 15, 2014) – Franchised new-car dealers in the U.S. helped pave the way for startup brands, such as Honda and Toyota, said Forrest McConnell, chairman of the National Automobile Dealers Association.
"All these manufacturers—even back in 1968—leveraged the franchised dealer system to get their products to the public because franchised dealers shouldered the cost of stores, service, employees and inventory," McConnell said today in remarks at the 2014 Automotive Forum presented by NADA and J.D. Power in New York City. "Dealers gave those franchises a partner on the road to success."
McConnell, a Honda and Acura dealer in Montgomery, Ala., highlighted the consumer benefits of the current franchise dealer network for sales, service and handling vehicle recalls. He said the franchise dealer system drives competition up and keeps costs down, and "cutting out dealers would not lower car prices because a factory-owned retail network would have to put in the same investment in physical assets and the same operating expenses that dealers now shoulder."
"If manufacturers sold directly to customers, there would be zero competition in pricing vehicles, parts and service. Dealerships compete fiercely for the opportunity to sell people cars and to service those cars for the long-term. That kind of competition benefits customers," he added. "Customers would be stuck paying the full sticker price—because there would be no 'same brand dealership' to shop and compare prices. The biggest competition for a Ford dealer is the other Ford dealer down the street."
McConnell added that 2013 was a record year for product safety recalls, and this year with millions of General Motors vehicles recalled, more than 4,000 GM dealers nationwide are gearing up to take care of their customers.
"When something goes wrong on the assembly line, our service departments are there to make things right," he said. "GM dealers are getting ready to support their customers from New York City to Yuma, Arizona, at no cost to them." Car and truck owners know they have a dealership in their community that they can turn to."

Steamboat Springs The game was long decided, and the Sailors' hopes of playing in Saturday's Steamboat Springs Shoot-Out championship game were thoroughly dashed by a D'Evelyn team that proved to be on an entirely different level.
Still, a buzz hung in the air as the final minutes and seconds ticked off the clock of the Jaguars' 93-52 victory, a win that cast the Sailors into Saturday's 12:30 p.m. consolation game at Steamboat Springs High School against Montrose.
Even before the result was final, fans were looking forward to Saturday's 4 p.m. championship game, which will pit D'Evleyn and Windsor, a pair of state-ranked foes who simply dominated the first two days of the Steamboat Shoot-Out, against each other.
"That will be as good as Class 4A basketball gets in the state of Colorado," Steamboat coach Luke DeWolfe said.
D'Evelyn proved Friday night against the tournament-hosting Sailors that they were worth the price of admission for any basketball fan. The Jaguars alternated between full- and half-court trap defenses, and they forced Steamboat into long streams of errant passes.
When it did end up in half-court offensive sets, D'Evelyn was just as spectacular, often quick enough to cut to the basket and usually talented enough to sink 3-point shots made wide open by those drives.
The Jaguars ended up sinking 12 3-point shots.
"Once we got going, we played extremely well. You could feel the energy flow out of the gym," D'Evelyn coach Tony Pachner said. "Our system, it's all mathematics to us. We want to drive, kick it out and hit that 3-ball."
It wasn't always just the fact that they made so many. They proved to have a knack for making them at the worst time, as far as the Sailors were concerned. A pair of treys helped build a 19-3 first-quarter lead for D'Evelyn, but Steamboat fought back and back-to-back Jake Miller buckets made it 22-13.
D'Evelyn's Chase Cleary converted a 3-point play to open the game back up, however.
A nice Eric Trousil basket cut the lead to 14 midway through the second quarter, but two Jags drilled 3-point shots. When Steamboat's Kit Croop answered with one of his own — part of a strong shooting night for the senior guard — D'Evelyn's Connor Skelton hit another trey, was fouled and made the free throw for a four-point play. His teammate Mat Menard followed that up with yet another 3-point basket, the team's fourth in a row.
"Their ability to drive and shoot made it really hard to guard them," Croop said.
D'Evelyn's Luke Stratman led all scorers with 18 points. Grant Witherspoon had 16 points, and Mat Menard had 13.
All that hot shooting, the often flawless press defense, amounted to Steamboat's biggest loss of the season so far, but the Sailors were convinced afterward that it was not their worst loss.
While the score got out of hand, they insisted they could take something positive in what they managed to accomplish against one of Class 4A's best squads.
Miller paced Steamboat with 16, and Croop and Trousil each had 11.
"Against Niwot, we were all spread out and trying to do our own thing," Croop said, comparing Friday's 41-point loss to Monday's 36-point loss at Niwot. "This team here was a monster.
"We learned we have a lot of things to work on but that we do some things well. I like the way our season's going to go."

Generation Iron: A Gorgeous Meditation on Age-Old Existential Concerns
Early in the documentary Generation Iron, bodybuilding icon Arnold Schwarzenegger observes that "Bodybuilding falls into this unique category of being a sport, entertainment, being a way of life, and art." It's an uneasy quartet of ideas forced to harmonize within bodies intentionally made freakish and/or beautiful. Director Vlad Yudin spends a year tracking the brutal physical, mental, and spiritual training of seven top competitors (including all-stars such as Phil Heath, Kai Greene, Branch Warren, and Dennis Wolf) for the Mr. Olympia title, and ends up with a gorgeous meditation on age-old existential concerns. As the men work through their regimens and go about daily struggles to balance personal lives and career goals (struggles which take place on farms, in McMansions, and in housing projects), the film — narrated by Mickey Rourke — returns in beautifully unforced ways to questions regarding hard work versus natural gifts, and which is more important to success. And exactly how do we define success, anyway? It grapples with questions about the nature of work and its worth beyond material payoff. And, crucially, when every man onstage has the unshakable belief that he's the most deserving candidate, that his hard work will absolutely be rewarded with glory, what happens to those who fall short on the scorecards? These questions resonate far beyond the world of bodybuilders, of course, and Yudin pulls lovely philosophical grace notes from his subjects as they illuminate some universal truths from their very specific world. (Ernest Hardy)

The Plastic Age HTML version
The dormitory initiations had more than angered Hugh; they had completely
upset his mental equilibrium: his every ideal of college swayed and wabbled. He
wasn't a prig, but he had come to Sanford with very definite ideas about the
place, and those ideas were already groggy from the unmerciful pounding they
were receiving.
His father was responsible for his illusions, if one may call them illusions. Mr.
Carver was a shy, sensitive man well along in his fifties, with a wife twelve years
his junior. He pretended to cultivate his small farm in Merrytown, but as a matter
of fact he lived off of a comfortable income left him by his very capable father. He
spent most of his time reading the eighteenth-century essayists, John Donne's
poetry, the "Atlantic Monthly," the "Boston Transcript," and playing Mozart on his
violin. He did not understand his wife and was thoroughly afraid of his son; Hugh
had an animal vigor that at times almost terrified him.
At his wife's insistence he had a talk with Hugh the night before the boy left for
college. Hugh had wanted to run when he met his father in the library after dinner
for that talk. He loved the gentle, gray-haired man with the fine, delicate features
and soft voice. He had often wished that he knew his father. Mr. Carver was
equally eager to know Hugh, but he had no idea of how to go about getting
acquainted with his son.
They sat on opposite sides of the fireplace, and Mr. Carver gazed thoughtfully at
the boy. Why hadn't Betty had this talk with Hugh? She knew him so much better
than he did; they were more like brother and sister than mother and son. Why,
Hugh called her Betty half the time, and she seemed to understand him perfectly.
Hugh waited silently. Mr. Carver ran a thin hand through his hair and then sharply
desisted; he mustn't let the boy know that he was nervous. Then he settled his
horn-rimmed pince-nez more firmly on his nose and felt in his waistcoat for a
cigar. Why didn't Hugh say something? He snipped the end of the cigar with a
silver knife. Slowly he lighted the cigar, inhaled once or twice, coughed mildly,
and finally found his voice.
"Well, Hugh," he said in his gentle way.
"Well, Dad." Hugh grinned sheepishly. Then they both started; Hugh had never
called his father Dad before. He thought of him that way always, but he could
never bring himself to dare anything but the more formal Father. In his
embarrassment he had forgotten himself.
"I—I—I'm sorry, sir," he stuttered, flushing painfully.
Mr. Carver laughed to hide his own embarrassment. "That's all right, Hugh." His
smile was very kindly. "Let it be Dad. I think I like it better."
"That's fine!" Hugh exclaimed.
The tension was broken, and Mr. Carver began to give the dreaded talk.

Back in the days of Rembrandt
Back in the time of old Jan Steen
All of them giants of shadow and light
But no-one was like Vermeer
Some paintings smell of joy and sweat
Some paintings plain look so fine
Some paintings are sad and passionate
But Vermeer sends a chill up your spine
Yeah, Vermeer sends a chill up your spine
Vermeer was eerie
Vermeer was strange
He had a more modern colour range
As if born in another age
Like maybe a hundred or so years ago
What's this? A ghost in the gallery?
Great Scot! The Martians are here!
These strange little paintings next to the others
No-one was like Vermeer
Vermeer was eerie
Vermeer was weird
He had his own way of doing things
With the paintings from another era
Another era

Monument Valley
We stayed in a famous lodge called "Goulding's" on the Navajo Reservation. Our room had a wonderful view of the sun setting over the Monument Valley "buttes" as we sipped our Southern Comforts on our balcony.
The Gouldings originally ran a Navajo trading post in 1938 & were instrumental in persuading John Ford to film "Stagecoach", the classic John Wayne movie, in Monument Valley.
John Ford eventually made 9 films here.
For as little as $60 each, a Navajo will drive you in a beaten up old truck around a 17 mile scenic drive - or you can drive yourself in your air-conditioned car for nothing !
Another long drive took us to Springdale on the edge of Zion NP. We had an overpriced meal in the "Wild Willie" Diner (we were irritated that the restaurant added 18% service charge & then suggested we could add an additional tip !)
Wednesday 8 Oct - Zion NP
We really did get up early (after a S,S,S & S), left for the park at 8:00!
There are free shuttle busses that run up & down the canyon - you hop on/off at scenic points & then hike up the trails. We did a few hours of hiking, took some pictures & then blasted up Highway 89 towards Bryce Canyon.
Thursday 9 October - Bryce Canyon
We tried to check into the famous Ruby's Hotel at the edge of the park but they were full, but we were lucky to book into a cabin on a nearby ranch/motel - it had real horses & real quad bikes ! The view from our room was again spectacular.
In the lobby were six shooters in glass cases, cowboy saddles & wanted posters for "Butch Cassidy" (or Robert LeRoy Parker for the cognoscenti) - he used to have a home near there.
You could trek down from the rim right into the amphitheatre (the interesting bit) following trails that threaded their way between the hoodoos. One of the landmarks looks like a statue of Queen Victoria, although it has been eroded quite a lot (but then I expect the real Queen Victoria has by now)

Bai hat-trick drives Rhinos into final
Page Tools
Former Melbourne Storm winger Marcus Bai inspired Leeds Rhinos to a 40-12 defeat of Wigan and set up an English Super League grand final showdown against defending champion Bradford.
Bai's hat-trick of tries, one of which was the 100th of his career, came as the Rhinos held off a brief fightback from Wigan to reach their first grand final since 1998.
Bai, a premiership winner with Melbourne in 1999, scored the opener and was instrumental in setting up Danny McGuire for his full-length effort before completing his third hat-trick in his first Super League season.
"Every player dreams about scoring tries but it was a good performance all round tonight," Bai said.
"It's going to be awesome next week at Old Trafford - to go to a grand final is a dream come true in my first year.
"We've got a good set of players. Bradford played well and won last week, but it's going to go down to the final next week."
Bai left the Storm after last season, having set a club record of 144 first-grade appearances.
Wigan produced an error-strewn first half, hardly a fitting farewell to five players making their final appearance for the club. At half-time, Wigan trailed 22-6 before captain Andy Farrell tried to spark his side.
Farrell, one of Wigan's top performers on the night, scored the second of his tries after the interval and his second conversion cut Leeds' lead to 10. But Bai soon put the game out of reach. Forward Sean O'Loughlin was bundled into the in-goal and when Wigan half-back Adrian Lam raced through a hole in the Rhinos' defence, the supporting Danny Tickle lost the ball in Bai's crunching tackle.
Bai went in for his third try in the 71st minute and prop Ryan Bailey grabbed his second try of the season seven minutes later, which allowed the departing Dave Furner to complete the scoring on his last appearance at Headingley.
Storm's Scott Hill was to play for an Australian invitational team against Papua New Guinea last night in Townsville, while former Storm half-back Brett Kimmorley will lead the invitational side.

Jim Ryczek has always been attuned to the plight of the outsider. But it took some time to find his voice.
Reared in a blue-collar, Catholic town in western Massachusetts, he spent years hiding the fact that he was gay. And when he finally came out at 25, it did not go well. His mother was stunned. His father was angry.
But his parents came around in time. Father and son grew close before the elder Ryczek succumbed to cancer. Mom proudly proclaims her son's sexual orientation these days.
And for Ryczek, coming out gave him a new kind of strength. "Before that happened," he says, "I was pretty timid and closed-mouthed."
That is not to say that Ryczek, who serves as executive director of the Rhode Island Coalition for the Homeless, is a brash figure these days. Polite and warm, he says he still doesn't particularly care for conflict in his personal affairs.
But when it comes to his working life, Ryczek, 44, has little trouble playing the forceful advocate. "When I think it's conflict in support of an issue I believe in, like social and economic justice . . . I really don't see it much as conflict," he says, "I just view it as speaking truth."
Speaking truth is, more or less, Ryczek's job. The coalition is not a direct services agency, but rather an advocate. The voice of the homeless on Smith Hill. And there is plenty to talk about these days.
Rhode Island's withering recession has had a devastating effect. Last month, the homeless population surged to a record high of 1283, up 15 percent from the year before.
The state's fiscal woes have only made things worse. Governor Carcieri has proposed eliminating funding for the 10-year-old Neighborhood Opportunities Program (NOP), which has helped provide some 1200 housing units for low-income and disabled people. And uncertainty over the final bill for the historic flooding of recent weeks has advocates worried about whether the General Assembly will restore the funding as hoped.
Ryczek will draw on a colorful history of advocacy in making the case for NOP. After graduating from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst in 1987, he moved to Maine to teach, starting in the town of Oakland and landing in Portland. There, he volunteered to work for a local AIDS hotline.
But it was only after he left the classroom to prepare for graduate school that he came out to his community, testifying before the City Council on an ordinance that added sexual orientation to the city's anti-discrimination policy.
"That was my first foray into public advocacy," he says. "The next day my face was on the front page of the Portland Herald and I freaked out a little bit because it wasn't that safe to be identified that publicly. But I felt like I had a responsibility because my colleagues who were gay and lesbian in the school system couldn't come."
It was another turning point for Ryczek. And after attaining his masters in social work from Boston University in 1995, he continued his advocacy work — dressing in drag, at one point, to conduct AIDS outreach in Provincetown and later working with HIV-positive ex-offenders in Rhode Island on the transition to life outside prison.
It was here that he ran headlong into the problem of homelessness. Of the 75 ex-offenders he worked with over five years, Ryczek says, only one landed in housing while in his care. It was a discouraging state of affairs. A spur to his current line of work.
But these days, even in the face of short-term budget crises, Ryczek is optimistic. About 4500 to 5000 people become homeless each year in Rhode Island, he says. And perhaps 10 to 15 percent number among the high-cost, hardcore homeless. These are manageable numbers, he insists.
The state, he says, could end homelessness. Or at least chronic homelessness: "If we had the resources, we could end it next year."
A couple of decades ago, that sort of talk might have seemed fanciful. But an ascendant approach known as "housing first" has had remarkable success in Rhode Island and beyond.
Traditionally, the homeless have moved through a multi-level system that begins with shelters and moves up to transitional housing and finally to independent housing. The problem with that model is that many of the toughest cases are derailed by addiction and other issues before they reach the end goal.
The housing first approach, pioneered in New York City in the early 1990s, skips right to independent housing — even for those with significant drinking or drug problems. The idea: the homeless need a stable home before they can begin addressing the roots of their woes.
The housing first model, which incorporates intense outreach on everything from substance abuse, to health care, to job readiness, is but one approach within a broader rubric known as permanent supportive housing. But all the models within that rubric provide long-term, stable homes with intense supports.
That, Ryczek says, is the answer to Rhode Island's problem with homelessness. And in the fall, if all goes according to plan, the coalition will launch a campaign in support of the idea.
It is an ambitious endeavor. And Ryczek emphasizes that it will be a team effort. He heaps praise on the eight other members of his staff. And the coalition takes special care to include the input of the homeless themselves.
The face of that effort, though, will be a gay man from a small town in western Massachusetts — once timid, but no more.--David Scharfenberg

Outstanding 4.8 /5 from 40 reviews
We arrived at arenas del Mar late in the evening and the first impression in the dark does not do the hotel justice. The place is amazing! You are on top of a hill at this beautiful resort with access to 2 beaches (not typical for the area). The stay was made even better by the outstanding customer service by all the staff. Wonderful experience! Highly recommend this beautiful, interesting boutique hotel!
The staff are amazing and went the extra mile in all that they did! Exceptional training and warm, gracious people! We loved everything about this hotel and will go back!!! Best resorts ever category!!!!!!
The hotel was not what the website advertised. Don't be fooled by the pictures they have posted.
Hotel service is exceptional! Beautiful place to stay w amazing views. Its not really a romantic place for couples since its kinda small and lots of families w children. Cant imagine going in high peak season when the small pools are full. But if you don't care then this is the perfect place. Bfst are the best and lots of choices.. lunch and dinner and drinks are pretty pricey thou. We did the whale tour which we absolutely loved and what a treat to see mama, papa and baby whale right up close!! Highlight of my trip! We also did the Los Campecinos tour w the hanging bridge and the amazing waterfalls. My husbands fave!
My mother and I had a wonderful stay at Arenas deal Mar. He property is absolutely breathtaking and the service is the best I have ever experienced! The animals on the property are the cherry on top of the cake - we even got to witness a green sea turtle nest eggs on the beach one night. I am coming back and I am sure you will want to as well! 5 stars!

Shop Local: Small Business Saturday Coming
With the holiday season coming up, State Senator Joseph Addabbo says, "for many of our small businesses and 'mom and pop' stores, it's the time of year to hopefully look forward with anticipation and optimism about finishing the year on an economic high note."
"In other words," he noted, "it's a critical time for some of our local merchants and their employees, who are often local residents, to sink or swim."
Over a year later, many businesses in the Rockaways and Broad Channel are still struggling to surmount the double blow of severe damage from the hurricane and the loss of holiday business last year before they could reopen.
To help local small businesses, the senator and other local outlets are reminding residents and visitors to shop local on November 30th. Nationally known as Small Business Saturday, it is a day to support local small businesses.
First observed on November 27th, 2010, Small Business Saturday was promoted by American Express as a way for individuals to patronize neighborhood retailers at the kick-off of the holiday shopping season.
According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, there are 23 million small businesses in the nation. These enterprises account for 54% of all U.S. sales.
Recently, there has been an emphasis to assist small businesses in the Rockaways.
The Queens Economic Development Corp held the Roll Up The Gates Storefront Stroll on Beach 116th Street for potential retailer tenants.
In Albany, Senator Addabbo points out, many legislators, including himself, have introduced legislation and supported budget initiatives that included nearly $800 million in tax relief for New York businesses over three years and tax credits for the hiring of veterans and younger residents between the ages of 18-25.
The Empire State Economic Development Corp. is the primary agency charged with helping small businesses. Among its many programs that help proprietors secure loans or other resources are:
The Entrepreneurial Assistance Program (EAP), provides instruction, training, technical assistance and support services to entrepreneurs who have recently opened a business or want to start one. Queens business owners are served by the EAP office located at One Pike Street, New York, NY 10002; 212-964-6022, ext. 138, or log on to www.renaissance-ny.org.
The Small Business Revolving Loan Fund is a $50 million fund designed to create economic activity by providing greater access to capital for main street shops. It is targeted to those small businesses that have had difficulty accessing regular credit markets. Visit www.nyfirst.ny.gov for more details.
Additional websites for small business resources include:

Company Profile
GENEQ inc. was founded in 1972 by its current President, Mr. Maurice Parisé.
In its early days, in the basement of the family home, the company was named GENIE Equipment and sold test instruments for soil, concrete, and asphalt. The company moved to St. Hubert Street (Montreal) a few years later, and added measuring, analytical and sampling instruments for water and air, as well as weather and gauging stations to its product portfolio.
In 1976, the company changed its name to GENEQ inc., in compliance with a regulation by the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec. This new shorter and more universal name gave wings to GENEQ.
In the early 1990s, the company moved to its current location in Anjou, in Montreal's east end, and added a GPS line to its product offering.Our team is made up of thirty employees. We also have a service department where three technicians are available to repair and calibrate the majority of instruments we sell, either on site or in our own shop.
The year 2000 saw the addition of a new division to our group, Biotechnology, which sells laboratory equipment used for medical research, science teaching, and food & beverage quality control.
Our five divisions are made up of a team of experienced sales representatives who possess the technical and professional qualifications required to advise and serve the clients who have contributed to our company's success and influence for over 35 years.
Our business and our sales are growing in direct response to our drive, our clients' support, our commitment to provide state-of-the-art products and to offer the best price-quality ratio. GENEQ also differentiates itself from its competition through its vast selection of products covering a wide range of activities, as well as its top-of-the-line inventory management.
Today, GENEQ's products are sold mainly on the Quebec and Canadian markets, but also in the United States and worldwide. This higher profile was brought by our Internet site which contains several thousands of products and can easily be found and accessed anywhere in the world.
And last but not least, the company's tradition is assured by two of Mr. Parisé's children, Nathalie and René
