Cut Communication Overhead
Are you spending more time talking about work than working? These tips may help.
"As an organization grows, every individual in it must spend a greater percentage of their available time communicating enough with others just to stay on the same page, leaving less time for actual productive work."
So wrote author Josh Kaufman at his Personal MBA blog, calling this issue "communication overhead."
You won't hear consultant D. Mark Schumann, ABC, chair of the San Francisco-based International Association of Business Communicators, arguing against that suggestion.
"There was a time when you simply picked up the phone and called someone" to deal with an issue or solve a problem, "because you were so limited in the ways you could reach people," Schumann says. "Today, there are so many ways to reach people that I think we spend more time arranging how we communicate than we do actually communicating. Instead of picking up the phone, we send an email to arrange when to have the call."
According to Schumann, a former client was so concerned about communication overhead that he got rid of the BlackBerry devices at his small company. "He told his employees, 'I don't need to hear from you at midnight and you don't need to hear from me at midnight, either, but as long as we have these we'll feel we have to.'"
Schumann, who sees email as the main culprit behind communication overhead, has his own way of dealing with the situation, which he calls his "three-email rule":
- You should only exchange three emails with anybody on a single topic, and if you haven't resolved it after three emails you should have an actual conversation.
- You should only copy three people on any email, and if you need to copy more you should have a meeting.
- If someone is less than three feet, or three floors, away from you (if you're in the same office), or three hours away from you (if you're not in the same office), you should talk with them in person or call them.
"It's all about asking yourself: Is this the most effective way to get something done, make my point, or put something on record? It certainly may be the most expedient, but it may not be the most effective," Schumann says.
"When you receive an email," he adds, "if there's any opportunity to respond using a different medium, do it."

The Incredible Hulk Coaster Track Continues to Disappear
While we have been reassured many times by multiple sources (including the Universal Orlando Resort) that the coaster will soon come back looking better than ever, we can't help it but stare with amazement when looking at the empty area of the lagoon where this great attraction once stood. It's really happening.
Here's the current status of The Incredible Hulk Coaster (these photos were taken yesterday evening):
The largest loop is still standing:
The view from the lagoon:
This will surely look incredibly unusual to Guests that visit the park often:
11 Comment(s):
I know I'm not alone when I say I'm very anxious to hear what they plan to do. Will they just replace with new track and the same layout? Or will they change the layout? Will B&M still be the manufacturer (there were some early rumors that they may not be, but it's looking like those rumors were false and possibly even fabricated by Universal Creative to throw people off!) Will there be theme changes/updates? I guess time will tell.
I think the layout and manufacturer will be the same because otherwise surely groundwork would have started around the back while they remove the first half of the ride. It's so weird to see the entire ride being replaced though. I've never seen anything like it. I remember people getting mocked for suggesting Hulk was getting new track... funny thing is, they're going beyond even just new track and replacing the whole thing!
yeah, what she said. altho i have to say, i NEVER heard of a coaster being completely removed just to be renovated. this would be a first to me.
I think it's great they are doing this. That ride was quite painful last time I rode it. If they ditch the over the shoulder restraints alone that would make for a much more fun ride.
I read somewhere that Universal was giving out all kinds of fake information to find out who was leaking it from the inside.
Disinformation to catch the mole and eliminate them I'm sure.
If there is one thing we should all know by now, you don't mess with Universal Brass
The most reasonable rumor I heard was they are changing the layout so it's not over the walkway (people under) & more over the water (no people under). If this means we can take our phones on the ride again, then maybe its worth the wait.
They are not only retracking, but clearly altering the lay out. I believe the track will be a different variety (possible a wing coaster, or floorless) The ride will feature a newer launch system, leading to me believe it will be faster than previously, this could included a taller ride. They removed the supports so new ones will have to be placed. And footers can be added later one, it seems many of the old footers will be reused where possible.
Am I the only one that kinda wants to see them launch a train right now? :|
Reference Space Mountain at Disneyland. It ran from 1977 to 2003. That's 26 years. So yes, roller coasters are removed completely and replaced if they are still popular.
Space Mountain closed on 4/9/2003 to undergo a major refurbishment. The entire roller coaster contained within the Space Mountain structure was replaced. Since all the ride hardware changed, a new entry was created for the new Space Mountain which opened in 2005 for the park's 50th anniversary.
Amazing to see!

On September 22 – 25, 2010 the Globe University/Minnesota School of Business massage students participated in a fund raising effort for the Massage Research Foundation.
The fundraising event ran the full length of the American Massage Therapy Association Convention which was held in Minneapolis, MN this year.
Our school was asked to supply massage students to perform a variety of foot massage protocols at the Massage Warehouse booth.
We were honored to be asked and convention goers from all over the country enjoyed a foot massage for a $10.00 donation to the Massage Research Foundation.
The convention goers that received the foot massages couldn't stop raving about our students' massage skills and professionalism.
Please join me in thanking the massage students and massage instructors that traveled from Minnesota and Wisconsin to participate. We are so very proud of our students and faculty for donating their time and expertise to this important fundraising event. Massage Research is not only important to our industry but to our clientele as well.

Daily Procrastinations- Ready MealsMature
Everyone here has had one of those days where they just can't be bothered to eat, everyone gets like that. The solution? Ready meals. Of course these meals aren't actually ready, no, you have to go home and microwave it. So even the name is a lie! Secondly these ready meals always seem to have such small portions! So really they should be known as Almost-ready-but-not-yet-snacks, that's right snacks, meals are supposed to make you feel full, if your hungry again after ten minutes you had a snack, not a bloody meal!
Ready meals don't often come cheap but they are quite often on offer, a while back I saw two ready meals for £7. SEVEN POUND! That's a bit expensive for a meal that isn't even going to fill you up! Yet people fill their trolleys with these money sucking snacks.
Perhaps one day we will see people roaming supermarkets with bats smashing these little packets of crap screaming for nutrition. If I see that I'll be happy, mostly because it will be very very funny.

text: I am one of the few who Hates W7! Probably it is great for technie people but for little old lady's sitting at home using computer for fun, it is horrible. My home page is My.MSN which one can customize with the news modules, local weather, etc. I have to reset everything at least twice a day. W7 is also very, very slow. Just to get on this forum took me 25 minutes. Kept getting the same welcome page everytime I tried to get to the discussions. Kept going back to the login page. I am not sure who I should discuss my problems with, because I can't find anything at microsoft.support that even addresses these problems. Has anyone else had problems like these? I would appreciate some help. Or I guess I could just go back and reinstall XP.

Joshua Prager writes for publications including Vanity Fair, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, where he was a senior writer for eight years. George Will has described his work as "exemplary journalistic sleuthing."
His new book, 100 Years, is a list of literary quotations on every age from birth to one hundred. Designed by Milton Glaser, the legendary graphic designer who created the I ♥ NY logo, the book moves year by year through the words of our most beloved authors, revealing the great sequence of life.
His first book, The Echoing Green, was a Washington Post Best Book of the Year. The New York Times Book Review called it "a revelation and a page turner, a group character study unequaled in baseball writing since Roger Kahn's Boys of Summer some three decades ago."
His second book, Half-Life, describes his recovery from a bus crash that broke his neck. Dr. Jerome Groopman, staff writer at the New Yorker magazine, called it "an extraordinary memoir, told with nuance and brimming with wisdom.
Joshua was a Nieman fellow at Harvard in 2011 and a Fulbright Distinguished Chair at Hebrew University in 2012. He was born in Eagle Butte, South Dakota, grew up in New Jersey, and lives in New York. He is writing a book about Roe v. Wade.

As Audi Exclusive colors go, Ipanema Brown is a favorite in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm including people like Audi Design Boss Stefan Sielaff who's had at least one TT in the color. This vibrant metallic hue isn't for everyone but it's surely different and as such we're fans.

Adam Winnik produzierte dieses Projekt in Illustration für seine Abschlussarbeit am Sheridan College:
I've been enrolled in illustration at Sheridan College for the the last 4 years and this is my final thesis project. I have always thought of Carl Sagan's writings as "scientific poetry" since they lack the cold touch that science is often cursed for having. I think Sagan's words resonate more than ever, and will continue with each generation until the human species "wakes up". The first time I heard this excerpt from his book "Pale Blue Dot" it literally changed my life, and I hope it does for you too. Enjoy.

text: As UMaine student Jack Bruce nears the end of his sophomore year, he's doing so with the praise of his professors.But it's not because of how he did in class, it's for something he did on his own outside of the classroom."Turn this on" With the flip of a switch, Jack Bruce's robot springs to life. "It should stand up on it's own now, just adjust the legs there."Bruce said the idea to build this six legged hexapod robot came about very simply. "I felt like I wanted a robot and I was looking around on the internet and I didn't want to pay a couple thousand dollars for it, so I got the parts that I could and I built my own."But he says the execution of the idea wasn't so simple. It was time consuming. "It was more days than hours, I'd say about eight weeks all in all with working on it probably fifty hours or so in body construction and then 100 or so hours of coding." "It was more difficult than I expected it to build, but I knew I'd do it anyway. I just had to do it." He took apart an old video game, used the controller, found some spare parts and after about 250 dollars out of pocket, he had his robot. This was all done in his spare time. It wasn't a class project, but it has caught the eye of the professors in his department, including Associate Professor Paul Villeneuve. "One of the things we hope our students get out of this is a willingness to try different things and learn new things and take what they have and put it into their practice. So Jack doing his own work is really an opportunity for him to take that little snippet of what he learned and really just expand upon it."In the two weeks that he's had it operation, Jack has already made some changes, and he has more tweaks in the works. "I plan in the future to put a set of jaws on it so I can go and pick up a soda can or something and maybe even hook it up to a WiFi so I can control it from a laptop."

Our cottage is not fancy or huge. It's cozy, clean and right on Lake Nantahala, one of the highest and cleanest lakes in the Eastern U.S. We bought the cottage years ago as a perfect escape from the busyness of Atlanta. Now we want to share it with you.
We have no pool tables or hot tubs or wii's. We DO have a great private dock, books, videos, and a place to simply unwind without all the usual distractions of home. Swim from our private dock. (Bring your snorkle gear ... i usually see fish when I snorkle around our dock ... the water is crystal clear) Bring your boat (ramp is 2 minutes away) or rent one from Lakes End Marina (or use our canoe). Kids love our dock, the many streams to wade in, and places to hike and explore (we're practically surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest). Parents love the quiet setting, our collection of books and movies, and the fact that your cell phone won't work up here! There are great restaurants 20 minutes by car (or ride your boat across the water to Lake's End Grill), a Super Walmart in Murphy (35 minutes away) for supplies, hiking trails all around (the Appalachian Trail is 20 minutes away), whitewater rafting close by, and lots of places to wander. We are not Disney World. We are quite pleased to be 'all natural'.
Keywords: Lakefront Cabin
I'm a writer and actor, based in Atlanta. I travel a lot. My wife and I bought this place as an escape from the road. It has been that, and more!
The Owner purchased this cabin in 2001
Beautiful view of the lake, great front porch sitting and a great deal.
My wife and I went for a little peace and quiet in a scenic place. It was so pretty and we both enjoyed the place. Dining options are a little limited and make sure you have necessary groceries cause it's a long haul to a grocery store. The house is clean, well equipped and thoughtfully updated throughout, very comfortable for two people. Owner is friendly and involved. Do not underestimate the climb back and forth to the dock, it's very steep and worth it. It's an excellent place to purge your mind of all the unimportant stuff and enjoy simple pleasures.
My family enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was very clean inside and had a good working shower. It is located on a very steep hillside and has a nice dock on beautiful Lake Nantahala. We enjoyed swimming and fishing off the dock and had a great time relaxing in the mountains. The owners gave great tips on activities in the area. We enjoyed whitewater rafting and zip lining at NOC which was only a short drive away. Also, we rented a boat and went tubing one day. My only reason for not giving it five stars was the steep walk down to the lake. It does not have stairs all the way down. When it rained, it was rather difficult getting back up to the cabin. Overall, it was a great getaway and we all had fun!
Quiet beautiful spot for those who want to get away in the nantahala forest.
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Grace Cottage. The house was clean and very comfortable. Sitting on the back deck feels like you're up in a treehouse with a beautiful lake view. The dock is down a fairly steep hill from the house, but they've got plenty of rock steps in place to make it a stable little trek. It's good excercise if you forget something and need to run back up to the house.
We didn't try the kayak, but we took our two kids (7yo and 4yo) out on the canoe a lot. There are a couple islands and rope swings within canoeing distance on the lake.
We also took our kids up nearby Wesser Bald fire tower. It was a scenic drive there and just enough challenge for the kids hiking up to the tower.
Overall visit was just what we wanted. The kids want to know when we can go back.
Lovely cabin on beautiful lake. The deck afforded great views, neighborhood was very peaceful. The owner was very attentive. The bed was very comfortable.
White Water Rafting on the Nantahala River is 30 minutes away, Great swimming from our private dock, Super WalMart 40 minutes away in Murphy, Scenic Railway 45 minutes away. Lots of great books, dvds and games

|Re: Creating server instances
|Wed, 29 Oct 2008 18:08:31 GMT
I can create a server instance now. :-) However, I was under the impression that this would clone the existing server instance. Is there still more to be done for that or did I misunderstand? I started with the tomcat javaee5 server assembly and ran the new-instance gshell command expecting to get a second server instance that looked exactly like the javaee5 tomcat instance. I then changed the port offset for the new instance, updated the server name in GERONIMO_OPTS, and started the new server instance. The new instance is basically just a bootstrap assembly.

Starved for Attention
An estimated 195 million children worldwide suffer from the effects of malnutrition, with 90 percent living in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
In fact, malnutrition contributes to at least one-third of the eight million annual deaths of children under five years of age.
Many families simply cannot afford to provide nutritious food—particularly animal source foods such as milk, meat, and eggs—that their young children need to grow and thrive.
Instead, they struggle to survive on a diet of little more than cereal porridges of maize or rice, amounting to the equivalent of bread and water.
Right now, the international humanitarian food aid system provides nutritionally inadequate foods to malnourished children under two years of age—the population most vulnerable to this treatable and preventable condition.
This situation must stop now…
Sign the "Starved for Attention" online petition to support MSF efforts to demand that governments supplying humanitarian food aid ensure that the food meets the nutritional needs of infants and young children.
On World Food Day 2010, MSF will present the petition to the top food aid donor countries.

A former Leland police lieutenant was sentenced to 20 years in prison after recently pleading guilty to attempted murder charges in South Carolina.
Howard Henry Smith Jr., 40, of Supply, pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted murder in Horry County General Sessions Circuit Court last week, according to a clerk of court. Circuit Court Judge Larry B. Hyman sentenced Smith to 20 years in the South Carolina Department of Corrections.
Smith was booked at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center in Horry County, South Carolina, on Sept. 20 after he reportedly led authorities on a vehicle chase from Brunswick County into South Carolina. Deputies were attempting to serve warrants on Smith when he fled, according to Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Spokeswoman Emily Flax.
"Multiple agencies, including the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office, pursued Smith, who was armed with a gun and firing shots at officers during the duration of the pursuit," Flax said. "The chase continued into Horry County and ended on Highway 31, where Smith was taken into custody by South Carolina officials."
Smith was originally charged in Horry County, South Carolina, with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of possession of a firearm and ammunition and one count of failure to stop for blue lights. As part of his plea agreement, all other charges in the case were dismissed.
In Brunswick County, Smith was indicted Sept. 22 on charges of three counts of attempted murder, three counts of assault on a law enforcement officer with a firearm, discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle and felony flee to elude arrest with a motor vehicle.
The Circuit Court judge ordered that the sentence in South Carolina be served concurrently with any sentence that may arise from his charges in Brunswick County. But, according to Senior Assistant Solicitor Stephen Grooms, that portion of Smith's sentencing will be amended from court records this week. Smith must serve at least 85 percent of his sentence in South Carolina before he is eligible for parole, Grooms said.
The district attorney's office in Brunswick County will have to initiate Smith's extradition back to North Carolina to face charges in Brunswick County, Grooms said.
Smith was hired with the Leland Police Department in November 2011. He resigned as a lieutenant on May 7, 2013, according to Leland Town Manager David Hollis.

Features April 2002 Issue
Canine Agility Training - The Ultimate Team Sport
In this exciting sport, dogs run, jump, and climb � and it�s all off-leash!
Eddie Pepper's muscles flex as his compact body flies over the jumps and scrambles up the A-frame. Eddie's guardian, Bonnie Vogt, rewards him for hitting the contact zone and then signals him through the tunnel and over the teeter. When Eddie takes the last obstacle in the sequence, he races back to Vogt for a quick game of tug and a whole lot of praise.
By now, if you're into dogs, you've probably heard about agility. Maybe you've even seen it in action or tried it with your dog. Agility is one of the fastest growing dog sports in the world, and with good reason – it's fun! "Of all of the dog things I've done, agility is the most fun," says Vogt, a resident of Scotts Valley, California, who has participated in a multitude of dog activities, including search and rescue, obedience, hunting tests and flyball, as well as agility.
The ultimate team sport
Agility is fun for a whole bunch of reasons. It's fast. It's always different. The dogs love it. The handler is constantly challenged. But perhaps the most wonderful part about agility is the way the dog and handler work together as a team. It is the ultimate team sport – and like any team sport, the relationship of the team members is key.
"It's a really active and involved thing," says Bud Houston, a long-time agility teacher and seminar leader who resides in Ostrander, Ohio. Houston has written numerous books on agility and is founder of the Just For Fun (JFF) agility organization. He points to his dogs' joy and enthusiasm for the sport when he describes why he loves agility. "They really light up when we go out to the training building."
Vogt echoes Houston's sentiment. "Playing agility has brought us closer, sealed that bond a little tighter. Eddie seems to thoroughly enjoy the running and playing, and it's helped us have more of a partnership."
From the beginning, agility seemed to be a hit with dogs and people. Agility began as a demonstration event at the Crufts Dog Show in England in 1978. The obvious enjoyment of the dogs and the enthusiasm of the crowd at the first agility demonstration could have predicted the future popularity and growth of the sport. Today, agility is practiced throughout the world. In North America alone, you can find more than 10 organizations that sanction agility trials.
The goal in agility is for the handler and dog to run an obstacle course, with the handler directing the dog through and the dog navigating the obstacles. The course generally consists of between 14 and 20 obstacles that are designed to test a dog's balance, speed, jumping, and climbing ability as well as the communication between the dog and handler. The obstacles commonly include:
• Jumps: A variety of jumps are used in agility including single jumps, double jumps, triple jumps, winged and non-winged jumps, panel jumps, broad jump, and tire or hoop jumps. The height of the jumps varies depending on the size of the dog.
• Tunnels: Flexible tunnels, 15 to 20 feet long, are used, as well as a collapsed tunnel made with a barrel opening and a fabric sleeve that the dog pushes through.
• A-frame: One of the "contact" obstacles (an obstacle that the dog must touch in a yellow-painted zone to insure a safe performance on the obstacle), the A-frame is a large climbing structure that the dog runs over.
• Teeter-totter: Also called the seesaw, the dog tips the board as he runs across. The teeter-totter is another contact obstacle and the dog needs to touch the yellow zones for safety.
• Dog walk: This contact obstacle is a type of balance beam that is three to four feet in the air. The dog runs up a ramp, across the beam, and down the descending ramp.
• Weave poles: Up to 12 weave poles are found on a standard agility course. Weave poles are often considered the most difficult obstacles to teach a dog.
• Table or pause box: The dog gets on the table and stays in either a down or sit position for five seconds. This is a control exercise and requires a dog to stop in the midst of running through the course.
In a competition, the course must be run within a certain amount of time and the team can be judged "faults" for mistake, such as taking the wrong obstacle or knocking down a jump bar. The courses are always different, making communication between the handler and dog as critical as the dog's ability to navigate the obstacles.
Not just for superdogs
Big dogs, little dogs, fast dogs, slow dogs, mixed breeds and pure breeds – all types of dogs can do agility. In fact, agility is one of the few dog sports providing as many opportunities for mixed breed dogs as for pure breeds. With the exception of AKC Agility, every dog agility organization in the United States welcomes mixed breeds in competition. Dogs as small as a Papillon and as large as a Great Dane can and do enjoy agility. Of course, not every dog (or person) is cut out for competition and only a select few will win national championships. But almost all dogs can enjoy some version of the sport.
Agility is an obvious choice for high energy and athletic dogs. It gives dogs that are often seen as "hyper" a place to put their drive and energy. It is also a good way to help timid or shy dogs build confidence. It's a great way for both people and dogs to get some exercise.
"Agility keeps Eddie and me both in better shape," says Vogt. "We both need the exercise and he needs a job to do."
In general, dogs who play agility should be physically able to do the sport safely – they should have sound hips, elbows, good vision, and be in good physical shape. But even dogs and handlers with some physical limitations can enjoy the just for fun experience of agility. For example, jump heights can be lowered for a dog that is not physically able to jump full height. A dog shouldn't do agility if it will make a condition worse, cause pain, or be unsafe in any way. It's a good idea to have your veterinarian conduct a basic health examination before beginning agility.
Competition or fun?
As with all sports, agility encompasses elements of competition. The competition can be as intense as professional basketball or as casual as a pick up game of softball on a sunny afternoon. In other words, agility can be played at the Olympic level, the city league level, or strictly for fun in the backyard or park.
In agility trials, teams compete in two ways. First, the dog and handler run against the time on the clock, with the goal of completing the course under the time limit and with no faults (called a clean run). In addition, the team is also competing against the other dog and handler teams within their class and height for placement – generally first, second, and third place dogs are recognized and awarded ribbons. The competition for a clean run and title are not the same as competing against other dogs. You can have a clean run and not win. You can also win and not have a clean run. As in other dog sports, you can compete at different levels and earn titles on your dog.
In addition to the standard agility course, dozens of games can be played in agility. Games range from those commonly found at trials, like Jumpers (which tests the dog's speed and the person's handling skills), Gamblers (which offers challenges in distance handling), and Snooker (which incorporates elements of both strategy and control), to those designed for fun or to help build specific skills.
But do you have to compete to do agility? Absolutely not. Some people do agility with the goal of winning at the highest level. Some people run their dogs with the goal of a clean run and earning a title, but aren't really concerned about winning. Others play agility strictly for fun, without ever needing or wanting to compete. Agility can be enjoyed in a totally non-competitive fashion. That means that you can teach your dog the obstacles, learn to direct him through course, and run courses either with or without a time limit. Playing agility non-competitively eliminates the pressure to perform – so you and your dog really can just get out there and have fun.
Agility practice, even without competition as a goal, is a wonderful way to build everyday skills. Agility strengthens basic training such as the down, stay and recall. It is a fun way to work on off-leash behaviors and develop off-leash reliability. It can help dogs become more confident in the world, and it can help people learn to better train and communicate with their dogs. (If you can teach a dog to run through a set of weave poles – which is anything but a natural behavior for a dog – you can probably teach him just about anything!) Quite simply, agility practice can improve relationships between dogs and people.
"I'd like to get to the point where we can compete," says Vogt, when she talks about training with Eddie. "But if we don't, that's OK too."
Houston, who has competed and earned many titles on his dogs, says that one of his dogs, Ringer, will probably not become a dog he takes to trials. "Ringer gets carsick if we go more than about four miles," says Houston. "So he will probably never do a lot of agility trialing in the world. But, he loves the game and he's developing very nicely."
Houston strongly promotes the recreational aspects of agility, and cautions against making agility into something that validates the handler, rather than something that is fun to do with your dog.
"It's not about winning, you know," says Houston. Houston emphasizes that agility is a recreational sport we play with the canine members of our family. It is about the relationship, the fun, and enjoyment of playing with your best friend.
Houston also stresses that agility should be accessible to anyone who is interested and can be a "lifetime sport" that we share with our dogs. With this spirit in mind, Houston formed Just For Fun agility. JFF's slogan, "dog agility for the rest of us," is helping to make the sport more available to those who may not have the perfect "competition" dog as well as to those who cannot afford the time or money needed to train competitively and enter trials.
JFF agility does promote a degree of competition, but emphasizes that it should always be low cost (or no cost) and fun. With that in mind, JFF agility launched the idea of league play – a version of the sport that can be organized and played on a local level, similar to local softball or basketball leagues offered through park and recreation programs. As with local softball and basketball leagues, anyone can join and play at the level at which they are comfortable. In JFF, each person chooses the jump height that is most appropriate for his dog's ability.
Purely positive fun
The sport of agility has, perhaps inadvertently, become a huge promoter of positive training methods. You can probably imagine that it would be difficult to drag a reluctant dog over an A-frame or force a dog to run at top speed through a set of weave poles. Agility training generally incorporates positive-oriented training techniques, including clicker training, lure and reward, and classical conditioning. Dogs are motivated and rewarded with food, praise, and toys. Although some agility instructors do use punitive methods, most do not.
Nancy Gyes, co-owner of Power Paws Agility and a top level agility competitor in the United States, addressed the very issue of using compulsion methods in training at a recent seminar in Watsonville, California. Gyes admitted to the seminar crowd that she is so competitive that if using a pinch collar on her dog would help her win, she might use it for training in agility. But that the fact is, according to Gyes, positive reinforcement training methods work better in building accuracy, speed, and enthusiasm. Gyes went on to point out that the leading agility competitors in the country all use some elements of clicker training in working with their dogs – even those who do not consider themselves clicker trainers.
Getting started
Because agility is still relatively new, many of the people who are currently involved started out self-taught – building equipment, reading books, watching videos, attending seminars, and learning by trial and error. With the growing popularity of the sport, however, agility-training facilities are popping up everywhere. If you'd like to try agility, you could begin on your own, but your best bet is to find a trainer in your area to help you get started. When you are looking for a trainer, look for someone who:
• Focuses on safety and the well-being of the dogs above all else.
• Uses motivational methods. Forcing a dog onto equipment can ruin the fun for both of you.
• Can help you understand both how to teach your dog to use the equipment and help you learn to direct your dog through the course. Agility is a 50/50 team sport. You both need to learn your part.
If you do not plan to compete, your instructor does not need a competition background. But if you do want to compete, look for a teacher who has competition experience to mentor you through the process. If you or your dog have any special needs or limitations, ask the instructor if she is willing to work with you around those areas.
Because agility training is a long-term training process, it becomes especially important to find an instructor with whom you enjoy working.
It's addictive
When asked what he would say to someone who was considering trying agility, Bud Houston responds, "You've got to do this. It's too much fun!" Anyone who has tried agility can tell you that it's addictive. You just may end up with jumps in your backyard, weave poles in your living room, and a whole new set of vocabulary words. You may end up practicing front crosses and reverse flow pivots as you vacuum. You may start muttering terms like "clean runs" and "yards per second" in your sleep. Like any person exhibiting signs of addiction, your friends and family may wonder if you've lost your mind – or just given it to the dog.

As I use range brass and I am not reloading pistol for 50yd match bullseye accuracy (I am an action pistol IDPA/USPSA shooter), I do not bother with a lot of headstamp sorting and other pre-loading inspection time. My g/f and I both shoot, and I do all the reloading, so she gets to do the quality control step. Since I switched over to Lee full-length resizing dies, I don't think I have ever had a case fail to gauge properly, but going through the motions gets a second set of eyes on all the cases to find any dings or cracks I might have missed during the actual reloading, and just a chance to see that everything came out all right.
By the way, the small primer stuff is easily picked out during reloading when the primer won't seat, and the A-Merc brass is even easier to find---it adheres to the powder funnel like nobody's business! (First time I ran across A-Merc resulted in my disassembling the powder die and taking a hacksaw to the stuck case. Next time it'll be a Dremel. )

Before buying any equipment, I would read a good book on the subject. You can reload with a bare minimum of equipment or you can have a full blown ammo factory. Most people fall somewhere in between. I've been loading since the late '70's and have always used a single stage press. Regarding dies, be sure and get carbide dies for your pistol
calibers. It'll save a bunch of work. Also you can reload .38 spl. and .357 with the same die set. An extra seater die will help.

I want to do this too. But not necessarly for the cost savings but the experence and education. Videos I have watched seem to make it a no-brainer if you pay attention to what you are doing.

You can sure save a boatload of money though. I was casting my own .45 bullets from wheel weights (that gas stations gave me for free), so my only cost was primers and powder. I had my total cost down to around 4 cents per round (as compared to 50 cents per round, brand new). It was pretty dang cool to go out and blast off 300 rounds in a practice session, and it only cost me $12!!

we reach a point of high cost per box so we cut back on range time cause we have reached a level of proficiency that we find suitable. and the next step will be costly in terms of ammo and instruction.

to become better than half the others at IDPA, Plates & Pins and other games takes practice and ammo. a Lee ( 175 RPHour) $300 or a dillion square deal (400 RPH) $600 start up costs with one year pay back.
there is the power you control; make light 38's for the new shooter , than medium, factory and +P. so you can ease a new shooter into a S&W 642. or practice point shooting with lites and slip in assorted powers till you are at full power, on target and have acquired a new skill.
winter i re-load for summer rifle. with 27 calibers ( 3 absolute) i can have fun with 150 year old guns (1861, 1871, 1882 on up)
if it ever happens that eveything is clean at the same time, i'll take a picture.

Lack of preparation on your part does not necessarily constitute an emergency on mine
Re; Claude Clay - Good post. In the winter I have a lot of free time in the evenings and a nice warm place to work. Reloading would keep my interest up and allow me to stockpile for summer shooting. Even though I shoot about as much in the winter as I do the other season in KY. 95 or -5 degrees, if I take a notion to shoot, I do. :)
I don't shoot matches, etc., so I don't go thru 100s of rounds at a range session. My usual reload session might be 200 rounds. It wouldn't be worthwhile for me to invest in a progressive. I also find my time spent reloading to be theraputic, so I'm in no hurry to "get-er-done!"
I recently picked up a Lee hand press (great $25 investment). Now I can relax in my recliner while I resize/flare my pistol cases (can even reprime with my Lee hand primer!). A LazyBoy, a cup of coffee, favorite show on TV, a Lee hand press--it don't get no better than that!

As I am also looking into reloading I have another question for you experts.
@Claude, Pretty sure this may be up your ally from reading your posts: Is the storage life on reloads different than factory rounds? While I do shoot and am trying to shoot more, part of my goal in reloading would be to create a stockpile to use when I cant reload, dont want to, or the zombie apocalypse .
Thanks all
BigJon.....shelf life
depends on the crimp. even with no taper crimp on a 380/9/40/45 if stored in a cool dry area I'm gonna say-years.
i replicate factory crimps so my ammo is a substitute for 'the best'
it will also go through anything from your hand gun to a machine gun.
and through the washer and dryer...my wife just places the shiny cartrages on the vanity for my daughter and i ( usually from pants pockets--perhaps a dozen a year).
at the range--every one has fired normally.
hope this helps

I can help answer this. My last reloading session for .45ACP was probably around 1980. I had maybe 2,000 reloaded rounds left over when I quit shooting IPSC. I still have about 200 rounds left from that batch. I have been slowly using these rounds (~50 per year or so) and never had one misfire or malfunction from any of those old reloads, even after 30 years!
Hope this helps.

'Be careful, even in small matters' - Miyamoto Musashi
I started about two years ago because I was having trouble getting .380 ammo. I was able to find the components...just not the loaded ammo. I didn't do it to save money, but for availability and load control. I believe it's best to learn the basics on a single stage press and load only one caliber to start. Master that one caliber and then move on. I bought an RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme kit with almost everything I needed to start. I also bought a tumbler for about $50 and some lizard litter (crushed walnut media) at a cheaper price in the pet store. Then I got a set of dies and stopped there. I read books, watched YouTube videos and asked many specific questions in reloading sections of gun forums. I never wanted to have an accident from a double charge etc. so, I took it nice and slow. I was afraid if I bought a progressive to start that it would be a bit overwhelming and might cause me to make a noob mistake. As Old Vet said, it's not about speed for many of us. I preferred to enjoy the ride and be as safe as possible. Even if you upgrade soon, a single stage press is always helpful to have on the bench. In addition to the above, you naturally will need components (brass, bullets, powder, primers) and a decent caliper to measure OAL of your finished cartridge as well as setting up your dies. I like the digital ones a lot.
I like the digital ones a lot.
Orange Boy, i notice you are Florida. i was gonna say that digital scales have never been a primary for me as the are temperature sensitive--but I'm in CT. FL has one temp--HOT. but us northern folk have variations....and breezes, drafts in the home cause of the seasonal changes of the houses thermal mass. it upsets most inexpensive ( under $300) e-scales. they also take up to 20 minutes to warm up and have to be re-zeroed often; even during a re-loading session. for me that may be 3 different calibers, 800 rounds in 3 hours.
some have had good luck with them, heck--they sell well so I'm guessing they get used.
and while you are in the gun store looking for re-loading stuff, ask if they can recommend someone who is teaching or that can help you out informally.
but to speak intelligently--read Lyman's through page 80.
and a single stage is a good start if you so not want to jump in for $300 to start.
look for used as they either work or they don't. single stage is the least complicated.

Update: August 11, 2014 12:19 PM: In a disgusting addition to the horrors perpetrated by this enemy that the President and other liberals are only starting to recognize for the monsters that they are, this excerpt comes by way of the Midnight Watchers blog:
"The five-year-old son of a founding member of Baghdad's Anglican church was cut in half during an attack by the Islamic State on the Christian town of Qaraqosh.
In an interview Aug. 8, an emotional Canon Andrew White told ACNS that he christened the boy several years ago, and that the child's parents had named the lad Andrew after him.
'I'm almost in tears because I've just had somebody in my room whose little child was cut in half,' he said. 'I baptized his child in my church in Baghdad. This little boy, they named him after me – he was called Andrew.'
The importance of recognizing and knowing your enemy for who and what they are continues below!
On August 3rd we published an article designed to help liberals understand exactly who it is we are fighting in the global war on terror!
Liberal Primer on Extremism: Know Your Enemy (or else risk being destroyed by them)
The reason why knowing your enemy is so critically important is based on the fact that if we choose to fight them the way that WE understand war and not on the way that THEY understand war, we are doomed!
Yet this is exactly the way the Left would like to fight in the war on terror by using diplomacy and negotiation with an enemy that understands only one thing: Strength and violence.
As a reminder of the enemy that we face, these are photos and a video of their way of thinking that also shows the way in which they are indoctrinating their youth into the fight!
This crisis is not the fault of the West or George W. Bush as liberals like to claim, but is the basis for the religion they follow which states that those who do not believe as they do need to either be converted or killed!

At heart I'll admit I like to be a perfectionist when it comes to my writing, almost to the point of obsession.

While pit bull bans spark a lot of heated discussions between friends and neighbors, the tide appears to be with opponents of the bans.
In last couple of years, more than 100 communities across the nation have repealed their bans, including several in the Kansas City metro like Bonner Springs, Fairway and Spring Hill.
One of the few people who spoke in favor of keeping the ban in Roeland Park was Karen Stroud.
Stroud said a pit bull once attacked a close friend's child.
"Once a child is mauled, that's with them for the rest of their life," she said.
Stroud lost the battle. The Roeland Park city council voted 6-2 to lift the ban.
People who share Stroud's concerns about the danger of pit bulls have been on the losing end a lot lately.
Courtney Thomas, the president and CEO of Great Plains SPCA, believes the bans are being repealed because people are beginning to understand that the dogs aren't the problem, the owners are.
"Bans of any kind for any type of breed are an ineffective way to manage a community and the safety of that community," said Thomas. "It's really about how the pets were raised, how they're being raised today."

Running in wolf form is so much quicker and easier than running in human form. I figured this out the hard way of course. Even though I kind of already knew, but human legs have never carried me so fast.
Nessie is almost within arms reach, if I morphed back into a human they'd be too far ahead of me to catch. But she had my Nessie. Forcing my legs to move faster, I gain a meter or so. I morph, grabbing out with my left hand.
I feel her finger tips on mine.
Damn. Not close enough.
"Jake." She wimpers. "Please."
I see the desperation in her eyes, the trust. I couldn't let that down. Not now.
I'm keeping pace with the vampire childnapper, thank goodness. But I'm getting tired, and fast. Whatever I plan to do, I have to do it now. Again I try to grab Nessie's forearm, and again I miss. This can't be happening, not to me; not to Nessie.
I couldn't. I was falling behind. My aching legs refuse to go any further. I look up into her face and see Bella and Edward. Bella's eyes and Edward's mouth and attractiveness. Just a child. What did Huilen want with my baby?
"Jacob." Nessie whispers, tears flowing like wild rapid across her cheeks.
"I'm coming Nessie." I dart at full speed after the pair, grab Nessie and round kick the theiving vampire. "That's the last time you steal from me, and Carlilse." I growl. Then I turn, morph and lope away - heading towards the airport out of here.

AFAICT, we have done them for as long as we have said we would do them. I'm fine with us as a community dropping Maven releases if that is what is decided.
