Puppy choosing: Dominant vs Vocal? HELP
Hello Everyone!
So I'm soon to be new GSD owner, but I've been dog owner throughout the years! I did extensive research on different breeders, lineage background, health guarantees, etc., and ultimately decided on a particular breeder with working lines.
The pups come from high working drive lineage, so from the beginning I understood they will have high drives. Based on my preferences, I can ultimately choose from 2 females since both are very similar in their temperament.
Both are very driven and confident, so here is my dilemma (esp. since I have an 8 year old child):
Female 1: dominant over other pups (females/males), rougher with toys
Female 2: VERY vocal
So is the supposed "dominance" in F1 can really be read as one at 7 wks old? Is it just a way she plays in the dog pack? Can she become overly dominant once she's older or even possibly turn into dominant aggressive dog?
In case of F2 - Do you think that if she's so vocal at such a young age, she could be fear aggressive? Or could that and her going back/forth in the kennel be just her way of asking for play time?
Any help is much appreciated! It would be great to hear from owners who's dog expressed similar behaviors as pups and how their personality/behavior developed over time.
Thanks for all you help!
Reading pups is hard to do, but the breeder's experience at it improves overtime, and so
unless you've done it several times, I'd defer to their assessment. Often they'll do some testing around 6 weeks which once the scores are tallied will re-affirm what they already thought about who's who in the litter's hierarchy, but that can't foresee late bloomers who unexpectedly display traits unseen later.
As for vocal versus dominant, both present a different set of challenges, and you will ultimately decide and live with the one you need to learn from as for all our fretting, fate will help seal the deal.
Best of luck on your journey!

It's a tale of two teams for the McNeese State cross country teams as they prepare to host the Southland Conference Championships on Nov. 1 for the first time since 1993.
The Cowgirls appear to be peaking at the right time, coming off a first-place finish at a meet in Clinton, Miss., on Oct. 19. The Cowboys will be out to prove a point after a disappointing showing at pre-nationals in Terre Haute, Ind., the same weekend.
The McNeese women won the Choctaw Open title as senior Amy Talbot finished second and five other Cowgirls also notched top-10 times.
Talbot finished 5 seconds behind Nicholls State's Tessni Carruthers, who she'll see again Nov. 1.
"The race the other weekend was really good for me," Talbot said. "To be able to run at the front with another girl from our conference was great."
The conference championships are a 6-kilometer race, compared to the 5K run at the Choctaw Open. Talbot said she hopes the extra distance will thin the pack out a little bit and help her make a play for first place.
The Cowboys faced about half of the top 30 teams in the country at the pre-nationals meet, where they finished No. 52 in their first 8K race of the season on the same course the NCAA national meet will be run on Nov. 23.
"After this past weekend, it's about getting them refocused," said McNeese coach Brendon Gilroy. "I tell them it's not the end of the world, because they took it pretty hard."
Alex Bruce-Littlewood, the Cowboys' lone senior, said the long distance made the race difficult, but now that the team has it under its belt, they will be better for it.
"The hard work has been done," he said. "You're just focusing on getting faster and getting ready to handle the pace and being confident that you can go with whoever is going to be in the lead and just try to work as hard as you can."
Bruce-Littlewood finished second in last year's conference meet and the first-place finisher, McNeese's David Rooney, has since graduated.
The Cowboys won the conference title last season for the first time since 2000.
Talbot, the lone Cowgirls senior, said she hopes to finish in the top five in the conference meet. Talbot suffered a stress fracture last season and has been working to recover since. Gilroy said she's starting to hit her stride now.
Gilroy is cautiously optimistic about the race.
"If (the Cowgirls) get confident and know the course, who knows what can happen?" Gilroy said. "We definitely have a shot of going top three in both, top five for sure — unless a wheel falls off the wagon. Everyone seems to be doing well, so hopefully we can turn it up a little bit here at home."

was curious. There are some stories floating around that maybe Bill Gates and Walt Disney, Jr. want you to send an email to ten of your friends, sort of a chain letter sort of thing. The bottom line is that they're going to pay you by giving you some money or a trip to DisneyWorld or something of the sort. And I think a lot of people have sort of been bamboozled into that. Or similar things that sound plausible. There have always been hoaxes about someone who is going to try to set the world record for the most get-well cards. Well, you send these get-well cards to someone who maybe doesn't even exist, and if they're physical cards they wind up in shoeboxes someplace, or the post office gets bags and bags of them. What's happened more recently is people have had hoaxes about email. There's some sick child in England somewhere who wants to set a world's record, and so millions and millions of people send emails. At least they don't fill up a shoebox. They might fill up a hard drive someplace. But it's just such a multiplier effect, that someone with a seemingly plausible story can spread it around the world in an instant. And interestingly, a lot of the viruses, the supposed viruses that we've been warned about are not real viruses. People have been led to believe that there are all sorts of things that can go wrong with their computer. And they rightly should be concerned about opening an email attachment from someone you don't know, or responding in a way that might be harmful. But there are a lot of false alarms. And again, people have wasted lots of time. I've had people in my own office forward email notifications of viruses that just weren't true, to the point that you really almost have to have someone who knows enough about this technical specialty to say, now, that's a legitimate concern versus all these other things that are just hoaxes, false alarms. And well-meaning people are sending the information out, but it's just not true. And the multiplier effect of having the Internet, you can scare millions of people around the world in an instant.
Carol: I had one come from a colleague of mine that said Warning about a Virus, and it had the virus attached! That was the most stunning one.
Taz: I've always wondered if that might be a really sneaky ploy for somebody to use to seemingly give you a virus alert, or even a virus fighting tool, and do something like that. But there's just so much perversity around there too. I think a lot of people have too much time on their hands, and they're out there trying to find some ways to use the technology…
Carol: I think it's very daunting to anybody who doesn't have a technical background. It kind of reminds me of when you go to the doctor, and the doctor tells you something. And you just have to have blind faith. When you go in to Radio Shack or Comp USA, and even if, you know, I've got a technical background, but when I walk in there, they'll throw the words around, and I just kind of think, "Oh, gee, I should have known all those words." And I have no clue.
Taz: You need to educate yourself. I used to teach high school physics, and one of the sessions we had was on, at that time, the high technology was in sound systems. Stereo, hi-fi systems. I guess they

How to frame treads and risers for inside stair run.
I've got 2 stair runs in my townhouse. I'm replacing the laminate on both of them, and it's easier to replace the whole tread and riser than to try and get the laminate off and grind down all of the glue. The stringers are cut with 9 1/2" where the tread sits.
One of the stairs will have carpet, and the other will have new laminate. Do I need to frame a nose on the treads for the laminate? For the carpet? If no nose, should the treads overlap the riser, or vice versa?
I live in Vancouver, BC.
You don't frame a nosing in. You pick a laminate that has a matching nose profile. As for the carpet stairs, its all aesthetics. I personally think carpet looks better with an overhang over the riser. It also allows a hidden place to staple the carpet in place.
The reason I'm asking is because the treads I took out extended past the rise and created a nose. So when I put new treads in, I'll overhang the treads for the carpet, and just square the treads for the laminate.

Allan was the most dominating player at the Division III level last year, catching 53 passes for 1,100 yards and 9 touchdowns. He's collected so many school, conference and national awards that you'll have to go here and here to read them. But despite his domination of the D3 ranks, questions arose about how good Michael Allan really was. Was he just a big fish in a small pond or did he have the talent to play in the NFL? Part of that question was answered when he went to the East-West Shrine game after the season and had a terrific week of practice. However, in a league obsessed with 40 times, broad jumps and hand size, one hurdle remained for the small school product- the NFL Combine.
After training for weeks in New Jersey, Allan's chance to prove he belonged with the best came Saturday morning at the RCA dome in Indianapolis. While the NFL Network cameras kept fans in on the action, the only representative from his division stepped onto the turf and put on a show. On the biggest stage possible, Allan put all his detractors in the dust, blazing an official 4.7 40-yard dash, putting up 225 pounds nineteen times, finished tied for 1st with a vertical jump of 36 inches and leading all tight ends with a broad jump of 10'3". Earlier in the week Allan was a question mark. Now he was the media darling, getting glowing remarks from NFL Network's resident Draft expert Mike Mayock, NFLDraftScout's senior Draft analyst Rob Rang and countless write-ups on every major sports publication.
But what was it really like to be out there? Allan puts us in his shoes with a first-person view of the Combine experience.
Ryan Rigmaiden: First, congratulations! I thought you had a terrific workout and every scout and Draft service seems to agree that you did very well. Let's start with what everyone talks about the most, your 40-yard dash time. You knocked out an official time of 4.71, an amazing time for a man your size.
Michael Allan: Thanks. I'm happy with the time, but also disappointed. I was running low 4.6's the entire time while I was training, so I know I can run faster than a 4.71. I actually was blown dead on my first run, which I thought was the best start.
Rigmaiden: They didn't show that on NFL Network.
Allan: I know. Something happened in the stands and he whistled me dead. After you train so hard and go through it as many times as I have, you know when you have a good or bad start at about 10 yards. I knew it was a great start, but heard the whistle and stopped. I was running 4.7's in New Jersey and slowing down the last ten yards, so I know I can do better. What was weird is that you're running through the stadium and it's practically empty. It felt like slow-motion because there wasn't anything by you while you ran.
Rigmaiden: You finished second to Miami's Greg Olsen (4.47 40 time), who's widely regarded as the #1 TE this year. How did he look?
Allan: His times were impressive and I think he separated himself from everyone.
Rigmaiden: Well, you may be able to do better, but scouts were buzzing about your performance just the same. The do the drills alphabetically, so you had to go first in each drill. Did that make you nervous?
Allan: I had so much training on all the drills that I wasn't very nervous, just anxious to get out there and do them. The drill where we had to run routes was a little nerve wracking, though. I didn't no what to expect at first, but did pretty well.
Rigmaiden: How did all the other players treat you? You being the only D3 guy there.
Allan: The other guys were really cool. They were actually impressed I was there and wanted to hear my story. As a group, we bonded pretty well.
Rigmaiden: You did 19 reps on the bench, 36 inches for the vertical jump and 10'3" on the broad jump. Do you remember your arm and hand measurements?
Allan: Yeah, my arms were 33 ½ inches and my hands were 9 1/8 or 9 ¼, I can't remember which.
Rigmaiden: John Lott, Arizona's strength coach, has made a name for himself while spotting players on the bench at the Combine because he's so intense. What was he like?
Allan: Man, he was intense. He actually gave a pretty good pep talk before we lifted and made sure that guys who weren't lifting had a good reason for it.
Rigmaiden: He has a tendency for giving nicknames like 'Conan' or 'Bigfoot' to players while they lift and also getting crazy to motivate you. Did anything like that happen to you?
Allan: He didn't give me any names or anything, but he was intense when I was lifting. He was barking a bunch of stuff at me, but I can't remember what he said because I was focusing so hard.
Rigmaiden: Vince Young had a tough time last year with his Wonderlic test. How'd you do?
Allan: I got through 42 questions, but I have no idea how I did. It was fairly easy stuff, but some of the math was abstract. I haven't done that kind of math in awhile.
Rigmaiden: Teams are allowed to meet and interview with players for 15 minutes. What teams did you meet with and what did they ask you?
Allan: I met with all the TE coaches, but had full interviews with Philadelphia, Washington and Miami. It was just getting to know you, but Miami had a dry-erase board to draw some plays on.
Rigmaiden: I know in those meetings they're known to ask some odd questions. Did they ask you anything strange or off-the-wall?
Allan: Yeah, the Eagles asked me who I would call if I was thrown in jail and was given my one phone call.
Rigmaiden: And? Who's the lucky person to bail you out?
Allan: I told them I'd call my QB Joel Clark, but might call someone else if they had to come up with bail money.
Rigmaiden: You've got a point, there. No meetings with the Seahawks?
Allan: I met their TE coach Jim Lind and liked him. And obviously I'd love to stay in Seattle and play.
Rigmaiden: Really? That's good to hear because I know the Seahawks will be looking at tight ends. Is that really where you want to play?
Allan: Yeah. I grew up a Dolphin fan because I was born in Ft. Lauderdale. I grew up a big Marino fan. And it's kind of exciting not knowing where I'll end up and then just pack my bags and go. But there are so many perks about staying in Seattle. My family is there and my two best friends just moved there. We'd even talked about getting a place together and being roommates.
Rigmaiden: Is that code for you buying a house and them living at your place?
Allan: Yeah, they can rent a room from me!
Rigmaiden: So what's next? Do you have a personal workout scheduled?
Allan: Yeah, it's March 13th at Whitworth.

Five Longest Rushes in Program History
Sept. 23, 2010
|92 yards -- Butch Woolfolk vs. Wisconsin (1979)
| Watch the Play
Woolfolk, a Wisconsin native, returned to his home state as a sophomore and torched the Badgers to the tune of 190 yards rushing, including a 92-yard run, which still stands as the longest rushing play from scrimmage in Michigan football history. Outcome: Michigan 54, Wisconsin 0
|91 yards -- Tony Boles vs. Indiana (1989)
| Watch the Play
Boles' 91-yard touchdown run against Indiana was one of three he scored against the Hoosiers, tallying 156 yards on the ground on just 14 carries. Outcome: Michigan 38, Indiana 10
|90 yards -- Carlos Brown vs. Eastern Michigan (2009)
| Watch the Play
During the second quarter of Michigan's contest with cross-county foe Eastern Michigan, Brown outran the entire Eagles defense for a 90-yard touchdown to give the Wolverines a 24-10 lead, eventually resulting in a 45-17 victory. Outcome: Michigan 45, Eastern Michigan 17
|89 yards -- Butch Woolfolk vs. Wisconsin (1981)
|On a day when the upset-minded Wisconsin Badgers held Michigan to only 39 yards passing, Woolfolk once again picked up the slack on the ground, shredding the Badgers' defense for 119 yards on 14 carries, including his 89-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Outcome: Wisconsin 21, Michigan 14
|88 yards -- Tyrone Wheatley vs. Washington (1993)
| Watch the Play
One of the greatest single-game rushing performance in Michigan history, Tyrone Wheatley destroyed Washington's defense in the 1993 Rose Bowl, rushing for 235 yards on just 15 carries. His 88-yard touchdown run -- one of three on the day -- kicked off the third quarter, as Michigan went on to win, 38-31. Wheatley was named Rose Bowl MVP. Outcome: Michigan 38, Washington 31

Greetings from a new Statalister.
I am in need of advice, including references, if you have any.
We have done a household-level cross-sectional survey including all consenting adults within the household (1 to 4 per cluster). There are both household-level and personal-level variables.
The dependent variable is nominal at the personal level (ill/not ill).
The focal independent variable is nomial and at the household level (water contaminated/not).
Other variables of interest (explanatory, in relation to focal independent variable) are at the personal and household level.
My question is this...do I need to use GEE to adequately account for clustering within households OR would the svy:logit in Stata do this? (The ICC for illness & household is 0.08, SE 0.08)

Cytotoxicity of metallic oxide nanoparticles in human neural and non-neural cells

|metal oxide nanoparticles, nanotoxicity, titanium oxide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide
|The use of nanomaterials in industrial applications (e.g., drug delivery, additives to drugs and cosmetics) has escalated in the last decade, leading to the possibility of their becoming environmental pollutants. However, these cytotoxic and other health effects of exposure to nanoparticles have not been systematically investigated. We have developed a series of cell models to facilitate a systematic investigation of cytotoxicity of metallic oxide nanoparticles. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that titanium oxide, zinc oxide and magnesium oxide nanoparticles exert differential cytotoxic effects on human neural and non-neural cell types. We exposed human neural (U-87 and SK-N-SH) and non-neural (HepG2, HFF-1, and BJ) cell lines to titanium oxide, zinc oxide and magnesium oxide nanoparticles (0.1-100 µg/mL) for 48 hours and then determined their survival. The results of our on-going studies indicate that, in general, human neural cells are more susceptible to the cytotoxicity of metallic oxide nanoparticles studied compared with human non-neural cells. Moreover, the three metallic oxide nanoparticles so far investigated also exert dissimilar effects depending on the cell type under study. Our results provide some support for our hypothesis and may have implications in nanotoxicity and health risks involved with exposure to metal oxide nanoparticles.

All I do is sit behind a computer all day. Surely my life has some greater purpose than THIS.
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Bunnies!
Stashed in: The Web, Best PandaWhale Posts, Teh Internets, Retweet this., Life, @ifindkarma, Awesome, Reflection, Meaning of Life, Stories, The Internet is my religion., Comics!
your normally uplifting posts now slam me down near the end of the work day :-p
Actually, Jared, if you want to be inspired, watch the video for The Internet Is My Religion: http://pandawhale.com/convo/104/the-internet-is-my-religion
For the most part, sitting behind that computer is neither good or bad. You can do (and be) some amazing things inside that computer.
I wouldn't worry about the computer time. I'd worry about whether what you're doing during it is meaningful.
I can't believe The Matrix Reloaded came out nine years ago.
I love love love that link about having meaning in life.
To have meaning in your life you need a story: http://www.bakadesuyo.com/how-to-add-meaning-to-your-life
"You need to reflect on how things could have been and why they turned out the way they did. Seeing that things had a direction and a purpose provides meaning."
THAT is inspiration.
It's key. Minor variations on the same principle also increase happiness and improve team morale.
Perhaps this is why such stories are common themes in art, literature, plays, movies, and television series?
Because we are the stories we tell; we are feedback loops; in stories we discover we are not alone, and that life does have meaning.

"The average American will get an IRS refund this year of $1500. What should you do with that money? Put it in the stock market? With the high-flying low returns of the tech stocks last week, who wants to go there!? Better you should put a down payment on a fine new model year 2000..."
I cannot help but feel sorry for the people who continue to think this way. This is just one of the many messages that people get every day to help steer them away from long-term wealth-building, and toward short-term conspicuous consumption.
Here we are in a period of unprecedented opportunity to grow wealth for anyone who wants to seize it. Meanwhile, there are also plenty of opportunities to get financing, credit cards, or a home equity loan to go buy more stuff.
So who wants to go there!? Well, if "there" is the place where I save my money and put it to work for me, letting it grow and compound upon itself, seeing it create the possibility of financial freedom, of paying off the house, of sending the kids to any college we choose...
I do.

Harvard: Factors that Impact Employee Well Being, Commitment and Productivity
Business executives from the C-suite and HR, to QC and R&D are, by nature, focused on the corporate bottom line. A new trend in our dawning age of social sustainability is that many experts believe more attention should be paid to the dotted line - the one signed when a person commits to employment at a company. New Harvard research validates this approach, affirming that trust and purpose play a significant role in building successful, productive workplaces.
Expert Shares Keys to Building Successful Workplace Relationships
According to business strategist Courtney Anderson, J.D., M.B.A., "Outstanding leadership today means much more than just doing your job. Success is creating an environment that fosters happy, committed, productive team members."
The new Harvard research also found that employee happiness is positively and significantly affected by trust and identification with one's co-workers. Further, the greater the level of purpose one attributes to his or her work correlates to a greater commitment to the organization. The same is true for the level of trust the employer has cultivated among its employees. Productive employees are a result of a winning combination of trust and support.

Have an 05 WRX, looking to do a TXS UTEC stage 2 soon and wanted to know if there would be any advantage or disadvantage of using the bigger scoop with the stock intercooler?
There may be a very slight advantage, but not anywhere close to enough to warrant the cost. Most of us got them because the bigger scoop looks cooler.
I've read that along with the STi TMIC splitter, the post-intercooler temps are significantly lower than stock. Search around on wrxfanatics.com.
2004 WRX - Mods
I think on the 05' cars the hood scoop is the same as the STI. I was at the dealer yesterday and they look the same to me? The intercooler is larger but has more boost drop. Which means higher turbine speeds to achieve same boost and more lag. The STI intercooler is not more efficient it's just bigger?
the '05 WRX scoop is smaller than the STi.
here is a STi scoop (gotta love P-shop LOL) and a WRX scoop

the sti scoop with the stock wrx splitter will just flow more air....if you get the STI TMIC and just get the scoop and no splitter you will flow less air and the seal on the intercooler will be incorrect...you must use the proper splitter with the specific intercooler in order to maintain the proper seal and airflow into the intercooler
Speed Comes At A Price...How Fast Can You Afford To Go?
I have seen the light, or the scoop as the case may be. I think you have missed your true calling in life...lol....lol..
the larger scoop does not lower temps at speed per se.
its primary action is to increase the rate at which ic temps fall after being stopped (and subsequently heatsoaking) and resuming forward motion.
once the "cooling off" time has passed, the scoops are effectively equal.
however, some have said that the taller scoop DOES do a better job of catching air at high forward speeds (115+ mph), but that has been unproven so far, at least with any hard charge temp data.
If the bigger scoop can't lower more ic temp. Why sti have bigger scoop? Only because of looking better??
O5 Aspen White STI + AP stage II !!!
02 Rally Blue WRX sold !!
STi EVO
I think what they are trying to say is that the STI's scoop works with it's larger intercooler and that it would not benefit the WRX as you are not changing the intercooler just the means in which it is cooled?
You guys have it all wrong.Sure, that forum sucks, but.. well, just take a look.Originally Posted by qoncept
2004 WRX - Mods
I have my doubts w/ the STi scoop and oe intercooler- first you absolutely have to use the oe "splitter" (doesn't split like the STi one) w/ the oe ic and vice versa (STi w/ STi). The seal is absolutely critical in a efficient ic.
If you look at the oe splitter it effectivly seals at the top of the scoop- all of the air coming in is directed at the ic- when you go to the taller scoop, the oe "splitter" comes up short and the top is no longer in contact w/ the scoop- thus part of the air from the taller scoop is flowing over the oe splitter-not beng directed to the intercooler. I don't think it's hurting performance any as it should still recieve the "normal" amount of air, but don't see any benefits beyond aesthetics.
What would benefit the oe intercooler is a real splitter like the STi one has, if you look closely at your ic you will see bug/debris depostion almost exclusively at the rear of the intercooler. Spliting the air so the entire ic sees it would be benficial.
Intercoolers are much "trickier" than one would think- there are several parameters- flow, pressure drop, cooling efficiency- that have to be considered. Generally the ones that flow better, cool less effciently and vice versa. Also bigger intercoolers can act as heat sinks (holding heat in longer) than a small one. Lots of trade offs to consider, there is no perfect intercooler- its going to vary on what your apllication is.
Big Sky
you might not see them, but wrx1 on nasioc proved them years ago with an autometer dual probe temp sensor.Originally Posted by Big Sky WRX
bottom line: bigger scoop = faster cooling
After putting my STi scoop on the stock hood scoop just looks wimpy. I'm sure the performance difference is minimal.

Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y, Big Sean, 'Proceed' – Song Review
The rap trifecta of Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y and Big Sean are about to drop a dope mixtape celebrating their crazy lifestyle of weed, money and women.
So to give fans a buzz of what they are bringing to project, the trio unleashed five tracks from their upcoming project. Among the weeded-out jams is this smooth easy-going joint called 'Proceed.' The song has some mellow synths, melodic keyboards and a crisp beat.
On the track, Wizzy gets introspective as he details what's most important to him in his life: "If you offer me all in the money in the world / I wouldn't trade it for my girl / My family or the n—-s that you see riding with me / Out of town or Internationally / They gonna fly with me / Kinda fried / Roll the paper / So they can get high with me," he spits.
Meanwhile, smoked-out rapper Curren$y offer his take on his rags-to-riches story of coming from the bottom to now having the paparazzi cameras watching his every move. He rhymes: "They sho' came up / What they sayin' about those boys from the bottom? / Paparazzi cameras spot them / Flash when you see they faces / History in the makin' / I was high when I made this / So I can play this for them haters."
Finally, Big Sean finishes the song off with some great lines reflecting on his newfound status as Kanye West's rap protégé. "I got signed to my idol / See some of my favorite rappers turned rivals / 'Ye told me to kill them / So a n—a gotta drop 'em / Peep the Jesus chain he gave me / Since I can't keep up with them Bibles," he remarks.
Wiz, Curren$y and Sean's 'Proceed' is one of the coolest tracks of the summer and we could see ourselves driving in our cars and riding out to this song. It's the perfect mellow music for this hot season.
Listen to Wiz Khalifa, Curren$y and Big Sean, 'Proceed'

Lee Byung Hun Talks about Being a Global Star, 'Masquerade' and Lee Min Jung
Lee Byung Hun continued to be modest about his global star status.
"I feel awkward around the title of 'world star,'" he said. Though he's the best actor in Korea, he said he's still a supporting actor in Hollywood and said, "I'll work hard until the day comes when I can choose the scenarios I want to take."
Lee Byung Hun talked honestly about himself and his career at the media day event held for Masquerade with the film's director and his fellow cast members.
Lee Byung Hun didn't look at all like the big star he really is, sipping drinks comfortably and spilling out his emotions.
To a question asking how he brought himself to ruin his image when he's a global star, he answered, "It wasn't the part where I ruined myself that felt awkward, but the title of 'world star'. No one even recognizes me when I'm in America."
He then added with a laugh, "Once there was someone who recognized me. They asked whether I was an actor, and when I told them yes, they said they had seen me in the film Hangover."
Lee Byung Hun did not appear in Hangover. They had mistaken him for the Korean American actor Ken Jeong.
He then said about his own film, "There were actually many more entertaining scenes in the film, but most were edited out. There was a scene where I made a mistake when I tried to sheathe my sword, but it didn't make it into the film."
"I know because I tried for G.I. Joe; it's harder to sheathe a sword than to swing it around. Even experts find it hard to sheathe swords without looking. I tried to use that idea in the film, but I guess the director didn't like it."
The actor also touched on his recently revealed relationship with the actress Lee Min Jung.
When asked whether Lee Min Jung would attend the VIP preview scheduled for September 7, he said, "She said she had to shoot a commercial. I don't think she'll make it."
Lee Byung Hun's acting has garnered great praise from those who attended the screening on September 3.
Lee Byung Hun acted as both King Gwanghae and the lookalike low-class Ha Sun. Gwanghae hands Ha Sun his throne when he is threatened of being poisoned, and King Ha Sun learns what makes a true king while he acts as a fake one for 15 days. The film will premiere on September 19.

Pouring Cold Water on Politifact: House GOP Budget Would End Medicare and Raise Health Care Costs
Yesterday, Politifact misguidedly claimed that Republicans we not ending Medicare, despite significant evidence otherwise.
The very definition of the Medicare program is a national health insurance program for seniors which House Republicans would abolish under their budget. Read the facts and decide for yourself.
1965: Medicare Signed Into Law – National Health Insurance Program for Seniors. In 1965, President Johnson flew to Missouri to the Truman Library to sign the Social Security Act Amendments, popularly known as Medicare alongside President Truman in order to recognize Truman's early effort to establish a national health insurance program. The legislation enacted a basic program of hospital insurance for persons aged 65 and older, and a supplementary medical insurance program to aid the elderly in paying doctor bills and other health care bills. [OurDocuments.gov, accessed 4/20/11
The Republican Budget Ends Medicare
- Congressional Research Service: Individuals Would Not Be Able to Enroll in Current Medicare Program. The Congressional Research service (CRS) found that the Ryan budget ends Medicare: "Individuals who become eligible (based either on age or disability) for Medicare in 2022 and later years would not be able to enroll in the current Medicare program. Instead, they would be given the option of enrolling in a private insurance plan through a newly established Medicare exchange." [CRS Report, 4/13/11]
- WSJ: House Republican Budget for 2012 Would "End Medicare." According to the Wall Street Journal the Republican Plan "would essentially end Medicare, which now pays most of the health-care bills for 48 million elderly and disabled Americans, as a program that directly pays those bills." [Wall Street Journal, 4/4/11]
- Concord Monitor Columnist: Ryan's proposal purely and simply ends Medicare. Period. In April 2011, Kathy Burns a columnist for the Concord Monitor wrote a column on the Republican Budget entited "Adieu, Medicare!" where she stated "Ryan's proposal purely and simply ends Medicare. Period." [Concord Monitor, 4/17/11]
- NPR Congressional Correspondent: "Ends Medicare" In 2011, NPR's Congressional Correspondent Andrea Seabrook described the Republican Budget as ending Medicare. "the longer term budget that, you know, ends Medicare as we know it and other entitlements," stated Seabrook. [NPR, 4/16/11]
- NCPSSM: GOP Budget Plan Destroys Medicare and Cuts Social Security Benefits. In April 2011, Max Richtman, executive vice-president of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, was quoted in a news release stating that the Republican budget would destroy Medicare. "Over time, this will destroy the only health insurance program available to 47 million Americans," said Richtman. [NCPSSM press release, 4/5/11]
- Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve: Plan Eviscerates Medicare. In April 2011, Alan Blinder a former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve wrote in the Wall Street Journal that the Republican Budget threatens to eviscerate Medicare. "The plan threatens to eviscerate Medicare by privatizing it—with vouchers that, absent some sort of cost-control miracle, would fall further and further behind the rising cost of health insurance," he wrote. [Wall Street Journal, 4/19/11]
- US News Political Writer: Plan Would Get Rid of Medicare. In April 2011, Susan Milligan, a political and foreign affairs writer for US News wrote that the Republican Budget proposed by Ryan would get rid of Medicare. She wrote, "But getting rid of Medicare and turning it into a sketchy subsidy program for seniors, as Rep. Paul Ryan has proposed, is unnecessarily drastic and cruel." [US News, 4/18/11]
- Princeton Economics Professor: Medicare Would Cease to Exist. In April 2011, Uwe Reinhardt an economics professor at Princeton wrote that Medicare would cease to exist under the Republican Plan. "For people now 55 or younger, the traditional Medicare program – a defined benefit plan — would cease to exist ." [NY Times, 4/18/11]
Republican Budget Would Force Seniors To Pay $12,500
- GOP Budget Would Almost Double Healthcare Costs For Seniors. "The Republican congressman's proposal to privatize Medicare would mean a dramatic hike in U.S. healthcare costs for the elderly, an independent analysis finds. Seniors would pay almost double — more than $12,510 a year." [Los Angeles Times, 4/7/11]
- LA Times Opinion: Seniors Would Pay $12,500 to Start, Rising from There. In April 2011, the Los Angeles Times published an opinion piece that mentioned that "by the Congressional Budget Office's estimate, Ryan's plan would cost the average new Medicare enrollee an extra $12,500 as soon as it goes into effect in 2022, with expenses rising from there." [LA Times, 4/20/11]
According to 2011 analysis by the Center for American Progress, under the Ryan budget, seniors would pay twice as much out of pocket as they would under the current Medicare plan:
Medicare as we know it would end for new beneficiaries in 2022 under the House Republican budget proposal. It would be replaced with a government voucher that would be paid directly to private insurance companies. This system would double costs to seniors. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, or CBO, concluded that "most elderly people would pay more for their health care than they would pay under the current Medicare system." [Emphasis added; americanprogress.org, 4/12/11]
The analysis went state specifically that seniors would pay $12,500 under the Ryan plan compared to $6,150 under Medicare:
Seniors would pay more for two reasons. First, the Ryan plan forces future beneficiaries out of the traditional Medicare plan into a more expensive private plan. In 2022 65-year-olds would be forced to pay twice as much for care than they would under Medicare: $12,500 compared to $6,150. [Emphasis added; americanprogress.org, 4/12/11]

Responsible Extreme Ho-ing
Trip Start Mar 03, 2005
80Trip End Apr 08, 2006
I'm in Kampot, a beautiful small city perched on the edge of a stunning river below the looming Bokor mountain range. The scenery here is the most amazing I've seen in Cambodia. In fact, it's my favourite place in the country so far! The ride here was uncomfortable to say the least, sharing a Toyota Camry with seven Khmer's. Two in the driver's seat, two on the passenger seat (one of which was me, with a handbrake wedged up my ass), and four in the back. Two and a half hours of pain. On arrival in Kampot I checked into my guesthouse, and then went for a wander around the city before deciding it was the ideal location to learn how to ride a moto. So I handed over my passport, and nearly killed myself on the main strip before finally getting the hang of the throttle and gunning it 10km up river to a nice spot where the locals go swimming. The night ended quietly...
The next day involved a trip up Bokor Mountain to see the abandoned French hillstation. It was only 41km to the summit, in the back of a ute. Doesn't sound so bad, but try and imagine what 35 years of rain and wind can do to a poorly sealed road. There is no word in the english language which can describe just how bad it is! The scenery was amazing, and we checked out some of the abandoned buildings before trekking for an hour to the old casino. Perched on the edge of a cliff, and straight out of "The Shining", was one of the creepiest places I've ever been. This huge building has been abandoned for over 60 years, and walking through the old hallways and ballrooms while the clouds poured on through really was eery. Really considerate of the French to build a casino on top of a cliff. Rather than having to live with the loss of a house, car and savings, an unlucky colonial could simply walk ten metres from the rear entrance and throw himself off the cliff! The ride back down involved part of our ute falling off and us being stranded for an hour, but that's just normality now.
I returned back to my guesthouse at 10:15pm, ready for bed after having dinner with a German couple I met on the trip up to Bokor. At this point, the night was supposed to end quietly, like the previous. It didn't...
I met a girl from Sydney named Allison in the bar at the guesthouse, and it didn't take long for her to talk me into getting a drink and joining some people outside. Seemed harmless enough, just the swedish owner and another German couple. After about half an hour, a very drunk English guy showed up. It only took about ten minutes for him to tell the German couple about his days as a skinhead where he and his mates travelled to Berlin to fight other skinheads. The couple left, and it was just myself, Allison, the owner, and the skinhead, who called himself Adam remaining at the table. The next two hours degenerated into a confrontation between the owner (an expat of 4 years) and Adam (an expat of 7 years) about everything in Cambodia. Nothing was agreed upon. Whether or not the Khmer Rouge (KR) were still active. Whether they deserved US support. Whether they really killed 80 Khmers and three foreigners in 2001. The price of hookers. The attitude of sex tourists in Cambodia participating in my new word for the day (see title). Whether the owner was actually Buddhist, because by giving his point of view on the KR he was an arrogant selfless lying bastard. It went on. And Allison and I could do nothing but drink and watch these two verbally annihilate each other. In the end the owner told the skinhead to go back to his room (but not in those words). Allison and I then got the owner's entire life story, which is simply too disturbing for me to write here. Conclusion - expats are INSANE! Completely, totally, utterly INSANE!
So I awoke at 7am, feeling very seedy, eager to check out the nearby beach town of Kep and Rabbit Island. I could go on, but I won't. Kep was ugly. Rabbit island contained the most beautiful unspoilt palm lined tropical beach I have ever seen and could ever imagine. It was a good day.
Returning to Phnom Penh tomorrow, I decided I had to see my third beautiful sunset over Bokor Mountain once I returned to Kampot from Kep. However just as I was about to leave the guesthouse (literally, as I stood up to go), a Welsh girl I was briefly chatting to asked if I wanted to join her in giving an English class at the local high school. I decided why not, it'll be good practise before I start in Phnom Penh. Well, we arrive at this school, and upon seeing the two of us, the local teacher who the Welsh girl (another Allison) met ran off to find another teacher. This second teacher decided to split us up so two classes could be given with native speakers. Fair enough! So I'm walked over to a classroom of 40 students, about 17-22 years old, and this local teacher says "teach English". I am seriously not kidding when I say it was 5 minutes earlier that I stood up to go and watch the sunset! So I spent an hour talking about myself, explaining the conjugation of the present simple tense (on the local teachers orders) and then answering questions from the students (you have girlfriend? you go Angkor Wat? where you girlfriend? you want get married? when you get married? you like Khmer girl?). It was bedlam! Students coming and going, people talking, moto's zooming by outside, and random people watching from outside. It was completely crazy! Everything I was told about the way Khmer students were used to being taught English (the opposite of what I was drilled in during my CELTA course) during the CamTESOL conference was true. All I can say is that I am even more glad I got a job at ACE!
Now I'm here, writing down my experiences of the last three days. This is nothing compared to impressions I now have of this country, and what the people go through. The area I'm in was occupied by the KR until the early 90's, so it's quite disturbing to think that just about every person here over the age of 40 is KR. I was completely lost in my own thoughts riding on the back of a moto out to Kep today. The people here are so poor. The history so incomprehendible. The politics and corruption simply mind boggling. I can't even imagine what experiences I will have had in six months time, considering what I've seen in just 2 weeks in this country. Then whilst I'm waiting for my moto after I return from Rabbit island, a local guy points at the Vietnamese island offshore, and tells me that the island is actually Cambodian, but it is occupied by the Vietnamese. Six months ago, a boatload of Khmer fisherman came in a little too close to shore, and were blown away by the Vietnamese soldiers on the island. Six months! Then I'm chilling back at my guesthouse, before my impromptu English class, and I ask Elvis (one of the locals who hangs around) whats happening in the world, as he's reading a Khmer newspaper. "Ooh very bad in Phnom Penh" he says. "Someone murdered by gangster. Old french building fall down and kill 5 Khmer's."
There's just no logic to anything here. I don't get it. Every day brings some new crazy experience which just leaves me stupified. Six months here...
Post script - 27/3/05
The swedish guy I thought was the owner of the guesthouse who blasted the pommy expat was in fact not the owner of the guesthouse, and he wasn't even an expat. Now there's a classic example of what too many beers can do to your interpretation of things. He had been in Cambodia 4 years earlier, and returned a month ago. He was painting a mural in one of the rooms at the guesthouse and looking after things whilst the real owner was in Malaysia. A man who's seen a lot in his life, that's for sure.

Senate candidates spar over water projects
DENVER - Colorado's Senate candidates are sparring over water and transportation projects and how to pay for them.
Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and Republican Rep. Cory Gardner traded barbs Wednesday over a six-year-old ballot measure about water projects. Both attended the Colorado Water Congress summer conference.
Udall issued a news release criticizing Gardner for supporting a 2008 ballot initiative that would have diverted millions from water projects to fund transportation. Voters rejected the proposal.
Gardner turned the debate back on Udall. He told The Durango Herald that Udall supported a rival ballot initiative that year that would have eliminated a state tax credit to increase severance tax collection. That one also failed.
Gardner also accused Udall of a lack of leadership on transportation, including easing congestion along Interstate 70.

At present, we make Quad Lock Cases for iPhone 5S/SE, 6/6S, 6+, 6S +, 7, 7+. However we do have a Universal Adaptor which allows you to use almost any device with the Quad Lock Mounting System.
Not at this stage, however due to popular demand, we have decided to bring out a Quad Lock case for the Samsung S7/ S7 edge phones and also the proposed S8 due out early this year (date TBC). To be notified of when these cases will be available for purchase please sign up to the following link: https://www.quadlockcase.com/pages/samsung-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge-quad-lock-case-notification-sign-up
Yes, the Quad Lock Universal Adaptor is compatible with hard plastic cases such as the "Commuter" series. Silcone or rubber cases such as the "Defender" series case also work but you'll need to trim a section of the silicone away to allow the Universal Adaptor to be affixed directly to the hard plastic case. The Universal Adaptor has a 3M VHB adhesive which will bond very well to most plastics, but remember to clean the surface using rubbing alcohol before applying the adaptor.
The Wall Mounts use 3M VHB adhesive tape which will stick to most flat non-porous surfaces such as glass, metal, plastic and painted surfaces. They won't stick to porous surfaces such as rubber, uncoated wood/timber or your dog! Make sure to thoroughly clean the surface with rubbing alcohol before affixing the mount.
Wall mounts can easily be removed with the application of heat (from a hair dryer), but unfortunately the adhesive is not designed to be re-useable. Additional mounts can be purchased here > Wall Mount Twin Pack
The Quad Lock Case is designed to have a snug fit to ensure your iPhone is securely attached for rugged activities such as mountain biking and motorcycling. That said, the case is easy to remove if you use the proper technique. Watch the video below to see how to properly remove the case.
If you're still having trouble some of our customers have suggested using rubber gloves or rubber thimbles to get better grip on the edge of the case when removing the iPhone.
VERY strong! The Bike Mount PRO is the strongest and lightest mount on the market. Check out the video below to see for yourself.
Strong enough to hang from.... Check out the video below for more information.
