Tosa Inu Temperament
What's Good About 'Em,
What's Bad About 'Em
By Michele Welton.
Copyright © 2000-2016
The FCI Standard lists the key characteristics of the Tosa Inu as "patience, composure, boldness, and courage."
This stately, massive breed is quiet, calm, and relaxed -- until aroused, which may mean a bad guy rushing at his family or a low-flying bird to be snatched out of the air.
In other words, the Tosa Inu is a laid-back sofa connoisseur, until switched on.
His athleticism and agility, combined with his immense power, mean that he must be well socialized, well trained, and under control at all times.
Weight pulling is an enjoyable activity, with some Tosas pulling more than 3000 pounds.
Tosa Inu puppies should be friendly and trusting, and become more discriminating as they mature, but this should always be a people-friendly breed. Protection training and Schutzhund are not recommended.
Animal-aggression (dogs, cats, livestock) is a real problem and requires committed socialization and training to keep under control.
The stubborn Tosa is inclined to do things his own way, but he will defer to confident leadership that includes consistent rules and cheerful praise. This breed cannot be outmuscled but he can be convinced to respect you if you are an experienced dog owner who thoroughly understands how to elevate yourself above your dog in the family pecking order.
If you want a dog who...
- Is massive and powerful
- Has a short easy-care coat
- Makes an imposing watchdog
- Is serious and self-assured with strangers, yet generally mild-mannered unless aroused
- Compared to other mastiffs, is more athletic, more agile, and more responsive to training
A Tosa Inu may be right for you.
If you don't want to deal with...
- A huge dog who takes up a lot of space in your house and car
- A heavy dog who wants to sit on your feet and lean his weight against your leg
- Rowdiness and exuberant jumping when young
- Destructiveness when bored or left alone too much
- Aggression or suspiciousness toward strangers when not socialized properly
- Aggression toward other animals
- Strong-willed mind of his own, requiring a confident owner who can take charge
- Loud snoring
- Slobbering
- Gassiness (flatulence)
- Extremely high prices
- Legal liabilities (public perception, future breed bans, insurance problems, increased chance of lawsuits)
A Tosa Inu may not be right for you.
- choosing the RIGHT breeder and the RIGHT puppy
- or choosing an ADULT dog from your animal shelter or rescue group – a dog who has already proven that he doesn't have negative traits
- training your dog to respect you
- avoiding health problems by following my daily care program in 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy
More traits and characteristics of the Tosa Inu
If I was considering a Tosa Inu, I would be most concerned about...
- Providing the proper balance of exercise. Young Tosa Inus need enough exercise to keep them lean and healthy, but not so much that their soft growing bones, joints, and ligaments become over-stressed and damaged. Adult Tosa Inus need more exercise to keep them in shape, but not in hot or humid weather for fear of overheating. The proper amount of exercise can be difficult to regulate in giant breeds.
Since you have to minimize their exercise, young Tosas can be very rambunctious. They will romp with uncoordinated gawkiness all over your house. You need to substitute extra quantities of companionship and supervision. Otherwise, left alone, young Tosas become bored and destructive -- and their powerful jaws can literally destroy your living room.
- Providing enough socialization. Most Tosa Inus have protective instincts toward strangers. They need extensive exposure to friendly people so they learn to recognize the normal behaviors of "good guys." Then they can recognize the difference when someone acts abnormally. Without careful socialization, they may be suspicious of everyone, which could lead to dangerous aggression. Some Tosas go in the opposite direction -- without enough socialization, they become fearful of strangers, which can lead to defensive aggression.
- Animal aggression. Many Tosa Inus will not tolerate another dog of the same sex, and some won't tolerate the opposite sex either. Some Tosa Inus have strong instincts to chase and seize cats and other fleeing creatures. If anything goes wrong in the breeding, socializing, training, handling, or management of this breed, it is capable of seriously injuring or killing other animals.
- The strong temperament. Tosa Inus are not Golden Retrievers. Though they are very responsive in the right hands, they have an independent mind of their own and are not pushovers to raise and train. Some Tosas are willful, obstinate, and dominant (they want to be the boss) and will make you prove that you can make them do things. You must show them, through absolute consistency, that you mean what you say.
To teach your Tosa to listen to you, "Respect Training" is mandatory. My Tosa Inu Training Page discusses the program you need.
- Tosa Inu sounds. Some Tosa Inus snort, grunt, and snore loudly.
- Slobbering. Though Tosas drool much less than most other mastiffs, they slobber their water, and those with loose jowls do tend to drool before or after eating.
- High prices. Though the Tosa Inu has become common enough in the United States, breeders are still charging $1000 and up.
- Gassiness (flatulence) that can send you running for cover. Fortunately, Tosa Inus who are fed a natural diet of real meat and other fresh foods have much less trouble with gassiness. See my Tosa Inu Health Page for more information.
- Serious health problems. From joint and bone diseases to skin and autoimmune conditions...all giant breeds are risky in the health department.
To keep this breed healthy, I strongly recommend following all of the advice on my Tosa Inu Health Page.
- Legal liabilities. Tosa Inus are already banned in some countries and may be targeted for banning in certain areas in the United States. Homeowner insurance policies may be refused if you own a Tosa. Your friends and neighbors may be uncomfortable around this breed. In this day and age, the legal liabilities of owning any breed that looks intimidating and has a history as a guard dog and fighting dog should be seriously considered. People are quicker to sue if such a dog does anything even remotely questionable.
To learn more about training Tosa Inus to be calm and well-behaved, consider my dog training book, Teach Your Dog 100 English Words.
It's a unique Vocabulary and Respect Training Program that will make your Tosa Inu the smartest, most well-behaved companion you've ever had.
Teaches your dog to listen to you, to pay attention to you, and to do whatever you ask him to do.
My dog buying guide, Dog Quest: Find The Dog Of Your Dreams, will teach you everything you need to know about finding a healthy Tosa Inu. Health problems have become so widespread in dogs today that this book is required reading for ANYONE who is thinking of getting a purebred, crossbred, or mixed breed dog.
If you'd like to consult with me personally about whether the Tosa Inu might be a good dog breed for your family, I offer a Dog Breed Consulting Service.
Once you have your Tosa Inu home, you need to KEEP him healthy -- or if he's having any current health problems, you need to get him back on the road to good health.
My dog health care book, 11 Things You Must Do Right To Keep Your Dog Healthy and Happy is the book you need.
Raise your dog the right way and you will be helping him live a longer, healthier life while avoiding health problems and unnecessary veterinary expenses.
Please consider adopting an ADULT Tosa Inu...
When you're acquiring a Tosa Inu PUPPY, you're acquiring potential -- what he one day will be. So "typical breed characteristics" are very important.
But when you acquire an adult dog, you're acquiring what he already IS and you can decide whether he is the right dog for you based on that reality. There are plenty of adult Tosa Inus who have already proven themselves NOT to have negative characteristics that are "typical" for their breed. If you find such an adult dog, don't let "typical breed negatives" worry you. Just be happy that you found an atypical individual -- and enjoy!
Save a life. Adopt a dog.

Australia has fallen in love with its new odd couple opening partnership of David Warner and Ed Cowan and Shane Watson could be the victim.
The longer the third Test went - not that it went for long - the better Australia's astonishing 214-run opening stand in just 38.5 overs by Dave Warner and Ed Cowan looked.
Warner, with his sublime aggression, and Cowan, with his cultured patience, batted as well as anyone on a difficult wicket.
Australia captain Michael Clarke said he had not given any thought to whether Watson's eventual return to the side - he appears certain to miss the Adelaide Test - will see the all-rounder slotted in down the order, which many feel is his long-term destiny.
"I haven't even thought about where Shane Watson will bat in the order but until he is fit we won't have to worry about that," Clarke said.
"It is a good problem to have and we are looking forward to him coming back in."
Warner justifiably stole the headlines with his freakish 180 but Clarke made a point of mentioning Cowan and their partnership several times after Australia's landslide win.
"They batted really well in pretty tough batting conditions to be honest. They made it look easy.
"It covers over the fact that that wicket had a lot in it. India will cop a lot of criticism but there was enough there for the bowlers. I made it clear when I went out, I said to him (Warner), 'are you batting on a different wicket . . . I am coming off 329'. If you are coming off not many runs, it was very hard to bat out there."
Watson's ideal batting position has been hotly debated since the all-rounder admitted he was struggling to juggle the dual role of opening the batting and bowling.
The vice-captain has taken on extra responsibility with the ball under the leadership of Clarke, taking five-wicket hauls in both Sri Lanka and South Africa last year.
Former Test quick Nathan Bracken says what position Watson bats in the future depends on where the 30-year-old feels most comfortable.
"It's probably going to come down to where he wants to bat," Bracken told Fox Sports News.
"He's performed well enough opening if he wants to step back in to that position. (But) if he wants to come into the middle order to pick up the bowling workload ... where does hit fit in?"
Former Australia captain Ian Chappell doesn't subscribe to the theory that Watson should move down the order, saying his role as a bowler shouldn't be over-stated.
"I think the ideal opening combination for Australia would be Warner and Watson," Chappell told ESPNCricinfo.
"I don't believe in all this talk about moving Watson from the opening position, certainly not yet.
"I might be tempted a little bit later on if No.3 becomes a little bit of a black hole to use him in the No.3 spot. But I certainly wouldn't be putting him any lower than No.3.
"If I was captaining the side, he'd be a four-over bowler anyway. The fact that he's not able to bowl much wouldn't be a problem.
"He's a batsman. Batsmen are there to get hundreds and you don't detract from him making an hundred. Bowling long spells, to me, can detract from him making centuries.
"I think Warner and Watson ... would complement each other pretty well."
Warner likes the feel of his union with Cowan.
"He is great. We are gelling together. Most people have said we are an odd couple but when we are out there we keep each other going. We talk to each other every ball. Hopefully this is one of many big partnerships."
Australia used to think having two left-handers to open was not ideal until Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer united for one of the game's most bountiful unions.

Since its inception in the 1890′s, Dilworth has been one of Charlotte's most distinct neighborhoods. Developed as the city's first suburb, Dilworth was connected to downtown by Charlotte's first electric streetcar. The success of the initial development of Dilworth led its creator, Edward Dilworth Latta, to expand the neighborhood in the 1910′s, under a plan by the Olmstead Brothers, then the nation's preeminent landscape designers.
Although their plan was never fully implemented, the Olmstead's curved roads and dramatic landscaping set the tone for much of Charlotte's future character. In 1987, Dilworth was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Mar 27, 2014 - By Craig Blumenshine, Staff WriterThe RHS girls host Friday against Worland, while the boys are home Saturday.
Both the Riverton High School boys and girls soccer teams will be looking for their first wins of the young season when they take on Class 3-A Worland on Friday and Class 4-A Conference foe Rock Springs on Saturday.
Originally scheduled as a girls road game and a boys home game Friday, the venues have switched. The Lady Wolverines will host their first home game of the season against Worland, while the boys now will travel to Washakie County.
Game time for both varsity matches is 6 p.m.
On Saturday, the Riverton boys begin their conference season at home against the Rock Springs Tigers, while the girls will travel. Game time for varsity matches is 1 p.m.
The Worland girls are 1-0 on the season with a 2-0 win over defending state champion Jackson last Friday. Haley Schneider scored both of Worland's goals in the second half on penalty kicks.
The Worland boys were pounded by Jackson 7-0.
Both the Rock Springs boys and girls soccer teams were defeated Tuesday by Laramie. Scores of 5-0 and 5-1, respectively.
"In any sport, it is important to set the tone. Hopefully we can get a good result Friday to roll into our match with Rock Springs," Riverton boys head soccer coach Erly Cornejo said.
The Wolverine boys have been experimenting with various styles of formations in early season practices and have made adjustments for this week's matches.
"We want to get up the field quickly, but once we get up there, we need to be more patient," Cornejo said.
On the boys side of the Class 4-A West, Cornejo expects Kelly Walsh and Green River to be the Wolverines' toughest competition.
There is no admission charged to attend regular season games at Wolverine Field.

It's the most magical time of the year: acquiring a toppling pile of objects and hauling them back from your parents' house in a battered shopper, fingers numb and straining. There'll be one diamond in the rough, but the rest of the clutter will be squished into a cupboard and left there.
We're conditioned to think that Christmas is all about stuff — but it doesn't have to be. Increasingly, Londoners have been counteracting the consumerism of Christmas with ethical gifts that don't contribute to the clutter. For some, this means gifting a donation to charity in someone's name, or investing in a foreign or domestic project on their behalf. With Oxfam (Oxfam.org.uk), you can invest in a child's education for £19, present a struggling community with a goat for £25, or donate mosquito nets for only £7.
Buy an Amnesty gift card (amnestyshop.org.uk): the shop includes books, clothing and accessories and profit goes towards the continuation of the charity's work. Most of the gifts are organic, recycled, Fairtrade, educational, or eco-friendly. Gift cards are also available as e-vouchers. Animal lovers can sponsor a Kitty Kabin at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home: the package includes a bed for an abandoned cat and veterinary attention for just £5 a month.
Then there are projects such as Lend With Care, a microfinance website established by CARE International UK that supports entrepreneurs in developing countries. Potential lenders go onto the website (lendwithcare.org), where you can view the profiles set up by wannabe entrepreneurs. Select a project and then provide a loan in £15 increments to support it. When the loan is repaid you can withdraw the money or invest it in another project.
Part of the fun of Christmas is its predictability — clutter is as much a tradition as turkey. But do your bit to reduce it and you'll be the angel on top of this year's tree.

Last year, Atlanta rolled out one of its biggest environmental initiatives: tracking energy and water use in big commercial buildings in an effort to encourage landlords to conserve. Now that program is coming under fire in the state legislature.
Under the ordinance, owners of large buildings report their utility use to the city of Atlanta and the city tracks it all and also makes it available to the public.
There is an exception: if a building is less efficient than the national median for energy use, that building's information would not be released, though basic information about the building, such as its location, could be included in the report to show that it is in compliance with the ordinance's requirement to report its energy and water use.
Republican state Sen. Hunter Hill, from Atlanta, says he believes the purpose behind releasing the information is to shame buildings' owners. So he's introduced a bill that would prevent the city from publishing it without landlords' consent.
"It's negative advertising that the city or the state is using that I'm trying to prevent," he said in a committee meeting.
Opponents of the bill say that information should be available to the public, and that the change would undermine Atlanta's building sustainability program, which the city says is good for business.
"This is a huge feather in Atlanta's cap," environmental lobbyist Neill Herring said of the building ordinance. "[Mayor] Kasim Reed has taken bold steps to push Atlanta ahead of all the other competing cities. You don't see this in Charlotte, or Birmingham or New Orleans or Houston, or any of those places. You see it in San Francisco, New York City and Atlanta."
The bill passed out of a Georgia Senate committee on Wednesday.

Insurance doubles for private schools
Private schools are having to hike their fees in response to big increases in insurance charges and higher teachers' salaries.
Schools have faced up to 150% increases in insurance costs, says the Independent Schools' Bursars Association.
This has contributed to independent schools charging in excess of £20,000 per year for the first time.
In the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks, businesses have faced increased charges for public liability insurance.
This is now affecting many independent schools - which say they are obliged to pay sharply increased premiums.
Mike Sant, general secretary of the association, says that public liability, professional indemnity and buildings insurance have all increased.
Large numbers of schools face 50% increases, he says, and there are some who have had to pay 100% and 150% more than last year.
There have been schools which have struggled to find any insurer willing to provide insurance cover, he says.
Salary increases
An even bigger impact on school costs has been an increase in teachers' salaries.
As state school salaries have been boosted by the government, so independent schools have needed to keep pace.
Although the increases are less dramatic in percentage terms than the insurance hikes, the impact is greater, as up to two-thirds of school budgets can be spent on staffing.
The pressure on budgets has seen Roedean school in East Sussex charging £20,970 a year for some full boarders.
Cheltenham Ladies' College is charging £20,697 for some pupils and Hurtwood House in Dorking is charging £20,100.
Eton College is charging up to £19,098 for boarders.
On average, private school fees rose by 7% for 2001-2002, with similar increases expected for 2002-2003, considerably above inflation.
Mr Sant says that fee increases always raise concerns that this will reduce the number of applications to independent schools.
And he says that smaller schools, operating on tighter margins, could be particularly vulnerable to increased costs and higher fees.
Next year is set to bring further cost increases for private schools, he says, with higher contributions to teachers' pensions anticipated and extra national insurance costs.

Recognizing that the U.S.-led military conflict in Iraq since March 2002 has resulted in the likely death of over 100,000 Iraqi civilians (1), with untold (and deliberately uncounted) numbers of Iraqi civilian casualties, and with well-documented human rights violations against Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib and other U.S.-controlled facilities; and,
Observing that the military conflict since 2003 has resulted in the extensive destruction of Iraqi society and public health infrastructure, with widespread environmental damage, including the still-unaccounted for dispersal of depleted uranium (DU) in many populated areas of Iraq (2); and,
Noting that the continued U.S. military occupation of Iraq, and reported Pentagon plans to establish "enduring bases" in Iraq (3), has provoked widespread opposition among broad sectors of Iraqi society, engendering continued support for a growing insurgency, currently estimated at 40,000 active paramilitary insurgents with a base of at least 160,000 supporters (4); and,
Noting that the continued U.S. military occupation has undermined U.S. national security by providing fertile ground for the recruitment of global terrorist forces, by building increased hostility to the US throughout the Islamic world, and by damaging US relations with longstanding friends throughout the world; and,
Noting that the military conflict has already resulted in the deaths of over 1,800 U.S. and allied soldiers (5), as well as hundreds of forces serving as private contractors hired by Foreign Military Firms (FMFs) (3); and,
Observing that the military conflict has resulted in over 12,000 reported casualties to aforementioned U.S. and allied forces, many of which have been documented as resulting in very serious and debilitating injuries, with likely consequential long-term serious disability and need for rehabilitation services (6); and,
Noting that the military conflict has already resulted in a total estimated $200 billion in supplemental appropriations beyond the annual approximately $425 billion U.S. military budget (7); and,
Recognizing that the fiscal costs of the continued military conflict in Iraq, occurring in the context of large and rising domestic U.S. budget deficits, have already led to proposed slashing of programs necessary to the public and environmental health needs of the American people, including the care of U.S. veterans suffering from the consequences of the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as previous wars; and,
Noting that the current and anticipated future expanded fiscal costs of the military conflict in Iraq represent resources that could better be used to address current and future global public and environmental health needs, including developing alternative and sustainable energy sources that could address the looming crisis of global climate change while reducing the risks of terrorism; and,
Understanding PSR's core commitment to the ethical and moral imperatives of physicians to "First, Do No Harm,"
Therefore, be it resolved that Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility:
Calls on the U.S. government to immediately develop and announce a timeline, with clear deadline dates of phased military withdrawal, whereby all U.S. and allied foreign forces would be removed from Iraq as soon as possible, with commensurate selected deployment of replacement international peacekeeping troops under the command of the United Nations in areas of potential significant risk for inter-ethnic conflict or civil war; and,

CEDAR CITY, Utah, Nov. 14 - Southern Utah University has signed John Marshall from Westwind Preparatory Academy to a National Letter of Intent for basketball, SUU Coach Nick Robinson announced today.
"John is an excellent floor leader and competes to win at both ends of the court," Robinson said. "We are excited to welcome John and his family to the Thunderbird program."
Marshall, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound point guard, is averaging 19.7 points, 5.3 assists and three steals per game while knocking down 85 percent of his free throws for Westwind this year. He is rated as a two-star prospect by ESPN.
"I'm really excited to sign at Southern Utah," Marshall said. "I really liked the program when I came on my visit. I had an immediate connection with the coaches and I really liked the school. Cedar City is a beautiful place, and the campus is really nice. I had a good vibe when I was there and decided it was the place for me."
"We have sent over 240 Arizona players onto college since 1998 and John Marshall has been my single favorite player I've ever coached in my 10+ years," says Jeff de Laveaga, Westwind Preparatory Director of Basketball. "John is the hardest working player ever to play in my program."

Optimise content for a better positioning of our posts on Google is a must for every blogger, advertiser or company.
However, the proliferation of social media has influenced so much, that today it is necessary to pay more attention to it, and not focus only on the duties of Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
It is well known the impact that the contents of a website, or a blog, have on the ranking results of the search engines. And so far it was easy to maintain some control to influence it using, for example, applications or plugins for blogs or taking into account various factors when writing the posts.
With the expansion and universalization of social media, what experts and media professionals are asking today is whether or not they also influence search results. Social Media and SEO should go hand in hand for positioning. They are the backbone of any online strategy.
Social Media and SEO Improve Rankings:
Content that is shared on Twitter, Facebook and Google+ performs better that content that is not shared on these platforms:
– What most influences the positioning on Google is the content promoted a Google+ business page with more than 100 followers. Secondly, it would be the number of votes +1 of a promoted post in Google+.
– Facebook, as a social network would be the second largest in the list of search results of Google, followed lastly by tweets and re-tweets obtained on Twitter. There is also some relevance in the number of followers of a Twitter account.
How to improve the social ranking of your blog or website?
Make content as current as possible
Social media is characterised especially by its relevance. During the last year, many of us knew about important news through, for example, twitter, even before they were published in traditional newspapers. This "immediacy" as called is one of the three areas in which you have to act, so that your content rises in search rankings.
Post on social networks often
The second area is something that bloggers are already used to: frequency. This factor has always influenced the listings of the search engines. Not only you should write regularly on your blog or website, but also now, you shall also publish regularly in social networks.
Watch the social influence of your posts
This is the third area of social media and SEO to improve your rankings. It may seem the most difficult one, but to get it, all you have to do is know your audience and give them what they really want to know. The more social is your content (more likes, shares, tweets and re-tweets have) the higher your rankings in Google.
Other social factors with influence
The type of content you share on social networks, and the platforms where you are sharing it, is also crucial to get a better position. Social media and SEO positioning can have a big impact on your brand or blog. These are the most influential characteristics in Google ranking:
- A. Imagery
B. Videos
C. Conversations
D. Content from blogs
The Future of SEO
Marketers, and increasingly companies, are well aware of these changes. And to prove it, the forecasts for online ad spending over the next four years could reach $ 77 billion in 2016.
The goal of companies is to appear in the top positions of the search engines by any means. What we need to be aware, therefore, is of the necessary and ongoing collaboration between SEO, content marketing, social media and technology.
This overall strategy requires a completely different way to consider positioning campaigns and SEO. A challenge that will now everyone has to face, whether you're a marketer, blogger or the manager of an SME. It's time to get on board and paddle hard!
While it is true that activity in social networks affects the natural positioning of our website or blog, it is still an afterthought:
If we can get our brand (personal or corporate) to have a good presence on social networks, SEO positioning is likely to pass into the background, as far as traffic generation is concerned. The reality is that, if we are able to generate quality content and interesting to our potential customers on Twitter, Facebook, Google + and LinkedIn, these networks will become the main gateway contacts.
It is undeniable that SEO still has a capital importance in generating traffic to our websites, this traffic will eventually turn to business contacts and business contacts of these will eventually customers.
We use social media to create and maintain a community around our brand, service or product. As mentioned throughout the post, the correct strategy would be to get optimal positioning by traditional SEO, and achieve a bonus for improvement through the use of social networks.
Generate quality content and interesting for our market, looking to become a leader in our market niche should be the main priority for our brank. If apart from this, we improve the rankings of our website, then perfect, but we cannot device a Social Media strategy with the sole premise to climb a few positions in the search engines.

After two months and 261 rounds of bidding, the FCC announced Tuesday that it has raised a total of $19.6 billion from the sale of the U.S. wireless spectrum. The revenue, slated to fund "public safety and digital television transition initiatives," is nearly double what Congress had previously estimated for the publicly owned spectrum.
Agence France-Presse via Yahoo:
The US government has announced it has raised a record 19.6 billion dollars in an auction as bidders sought a prime segment of the US wireless spectrum.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Kevin Martin said in a statement late on Tuesday that the 700 MHz auction that began on January 24 had closed Tuesday after 261 rounds of bidding.
Martin did not identify the companies which had bid for the licenses for the 1,099 frequencies in the 700 MHz spectrum being abandoned as television broadcasters complete a federally-mandated switchover from analog to digital by early next year.
FCC Commissioner Kevin Martin oversaw the FCC's most profitable auction ever, with total revenue falling only $5 billion short of the Energy Department's annual budget.

Boys soccer: Tualatin jumps out quick on its way to scoring a 5-1 win over Newberg
TUALATIN - The Tualatin High School boys soccer team enjoyed a strong start.
The Timberwolves' finish was impressive as well.
Put it together, and it adds up to a decisive win.
The Wolves, striking fast, rolled to a 5-1 victory over Newberg in a Pacific Conference match played last Thursday at Tualatin High.
'We played hard and finished our chances,' said Tualatin senior Domenico Del Prete, who had two of the Timberwolves' goals in the win.
'This felt great,' Tualatin sophomore Damien Cortez-Garcia added. 'We worked our game and we really needed this win.'
Newberg fell to 0-9 in league matches at that point with the setback. Tualatin improved to 6-2-1 in Pacific Conference play, keeping the Wolves in third place in the league standings at that point.
'It wasn't a pretty game, but we got the 'W,'' Tualatin coach Eric McClellan said. 'We had flashes of good things tonight, but we have yet to put a whole 80 minutes in.'
That may be the case, but as least the first few minutes of last Thursday's match were definitely notable for the Wolves.
Tualatin took a 1-0 lead in the opening minutes after Del Prete scored a goal off an assist from junior Johnny Thayer. Very soon after, Thayer scored an unassisted goal off a corner kick attempt.
'A 2-0 lead in the first two minutes - that was nice,' Del Prete said. 'We came out ready to go and played hard.'
Newberg trimmed the margin to 2-1 when senior Edward Roman-DeChenne scored on a shot from 10 yards out off a corner kick.
The Wolves started firing back following the Tiger tally.
Tualatin had a shot by junior Jasen Armillas from 27 yards out sail just over the crossbar of the Newberg goal with 19 minutes and 41 seconds left in the first half.
Del Prete then had three attempts on goal in a seven-minute span later in the first half. The opening half concluded with Timberwolf senior goalkeeper Jeff Rott punching away a free-kick attempt by Newberg junior Jeber Minquez, leaving the Wolves with just a 2-1 lead at the intermission.
But Tualatin pulled away in the second half.
The Wolves upped the margin to 3-1 when sophomore Luis Martinez scored off a free kick sophomore Ryan Hyatt in the first five minutes of the second half.
Tualatin then pushed the lead to 4-1 when sophomore Madiba Sutton, while on the run, flicked a header shot into the Newberg goal off a free kick by sophomore Graham Fletcher coming with 23:01 left to play.
Then, following shots on goal by Martinez and Del Prete, the Wolves struck again.
With 10:46 remaining in the match, Del Prete took a pinpoint upfield pass from Cortez-Garcia and put a short-range, breakaway shot into the left side of the Newberg goal to wrap up Tualatin's 5-1 victory.
'We got the job done,' Cortez-Garcia said.
And the Wolves are looking to keep getting the job done this season.
'We've got more chemistry this year, and we're practicing hard,' Cortez-Garcia said. 'It's our passion.'
'We've got a big connection this year,' Del Prete said.
'We want to keep on winning,' Cortez-Garcia said. 'We haven't been to the semifinals (for a long time), and we want to rebuild this team.'
On Tuesday, Tualatin lost 3-2 league-leading McMinnville in a match played at McMinnville.
The Wolves will be back in action Tuesday when they host rival Tigard in a Pacific Conference match set to start at 7 p.m. at Tualatin High School.
The Tigers are on a hot streak heading into Tuesday's contest. Last Thursday, Tigard posted a 2-1 road win over Glencoe. The Tigers followed that up Tuesday with a 4-1 home victory over Forest Grove. With the two wins, Tigard improved to 6-3-1 in league play, putting them in a tie with Tualatin for third place in the Pacific Conference standings heading into Tuesday's match.

The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) ended the session higher by 34.43 points, or 1.22%, on Wednesday and it closed at 2,848.27. The strongest performer in the Nasdaq-100 ($NDX) was Seagate Technology (STX) (+20.77%). It was followed by gains in Broadcom Corp. (BRCM) (+8.09%) and Mylan Inc. (MYL) (+5.88%). The weakest were Amazon.com (AMZN) (-7.70%), CH Robinson Worldwide (CHRW) (-7.02%), and Activision Blizzard Inc. (ATVI) (-1.46%).
Nasdaq Composite (Figure 3)
Earnings Impress
The market was up further afterhours on Wednesday after strong earnings from Qualcomm (QCOM), Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), and Allstate (ALL).
GMCR shares jumped 22% after it posted earnings of 60 cents a share (18 cents higher than the previous year) and revenue growth of 102%, beating the Street estimates. GMCR saw its share prices plummet from over $115 a share in September to under $35 by November last year. It's set to open over $65 a share Thursday morning.
The market momentum continued to slow afterhours on Wednesday despite the above-mentioned earnings. Only the Nasdaq managed a higher high, but the highs were only slightly higher. This created a bull trap and further shifted the momentum of the day's rally. The result was a Momentum Reversal following Europe's open and a pullback in the Nasdaq to its premarket congestive levels from Wednesday morning. The Dow and S&P 500 have also found support at this congestion zone heading into Thursday morning. This will continue to serve as support throughout the remainder of the morning, while last week's highs in the Dow will serve as market resistance. We have not yet seen a strong pattern develop for a break in the current daily uptrend, but new multi-day positions in that direction gain risk with each passing day as the market comes closer and closer to a stronger daily correction.
Unless otherwise stated, the index action described in this article relates to the E-mini futures contracts for the respective indices. Actual index action may differ slightly in terms of pattern formation, although the market bias will remain the same.

Well, I test drove a MY13 E92 this weekend...and all I have to say is that I am working with a dealer to get one built!
As much as the practical side of me wants the E90, I don't think I am going to have an easy time finding one and the thought of having a car built for me, exactly to the specs I want is too much to pass up!
My only question...since it's so late in the year, should I wait to see if they have any year-end deals? When do the 2014 models start showing up? Sorry, I haven't been paying attention to the auto scene for the last 2 years or so, been trying to catch up.

If Australia need inspiration before they attempt to ruin England's immediate 2015 Rugby World Cup ambitions, they need look no further than Michael Lynagh.
The Wallaby icon's remarkable recovery from a serious stroke in April has provided hope for so many struck down in similar circumstances and he has helped changed attitudes towards stroke sufferers, particularly in his native Australia.
Lynagh works and lives with his young family in London and is a respected Sky Sports pundit, who will be at Twickenham on Saturday to give his verdict on the latest Wallaby versus England contest.
If Stuart Lancaster's side lose, their chances of finishing at least fourth in the rankings to avoid the 'Big Three' when the World Cup pool draw is made on December 3 will be badly hit, while Australia are facing a battle to stay in the top four after their 33-6 defeat against France.
The long-term effect of Lynagh's stroke is that he lost half the peripheral vision in his left eye, meaning he is unable to drive, but the World Cup winner has handled this with the kind of positive attitude the Wallabies management and players must embrace going into this match.
Lynagh, 49, said: "I know how fortunate I have been and the surgeon in Brisbane told me that he hadn't spoken to many people who had gone through what I had experienced. When I asked him why, he said that patients don't normally survive that kind of stroke.
"He also told me, 'you shouldn't be able to walk, you shouldn't be able to talk, you shouldn't be able to use your left hand and you shouldn't be able to see what you're seeing'.''
The hammering in Paris dented Wallaby confidence generated by an 18-18 draw with world champions New Zealand last month and heaped criticism on coach Robbie Deans.
David Campese, the former wing, has been a constant thorn in Deans's side and renewed his attack today as he said: "Deans has destroyed Australian rugby and I want him to go. We've got a team who can't catch and can't pass. He's the worst thing that has ever happened to Australian rugby." However, Lynagh still has faith in the coach and highlights the debilitating run of injuries as a mitigating factor. The loss of former captain David Pocock, the open-side flanker, this week is yet another body blow for the Wallabies, who also have Tests against Italy and Wales in the coming weeks.
Lynagh said: "We do miss Pocock, Will Genia and James Horwill because they are all Wallaby captains and you need that kind of experience at Test level.
"Nathan Sharpe is doing a great job as skipper but we are also without Quade Cooper and James O'Connor, while Digby Ioane is only now returning from injury. Any team would suffer without that kind of talent pool. It would be great to have a few other attacking weapons around to take the heat off Kurtley Beale. I do believe Deans is a good coach and he hasn't turned into a bad one overnight.
"The injury toll Deans has dealt with this year has been unprecedented and if he loses two of the next three games then it will have been a pretty disastrous tour. However, do you change the coach two-and-a-half years out from the next World Cup? You also have to ask if there are there better candidates out there? There are mitigating circumstances because of injuries and while some of the things Campo says are correct, we are missing key players.
"I am hoping that because it is England at Twickenham this will be all the motivation the guys need. It is frustrating that the Wallabies are inconsistent but it is very rare to see a Wallaby team perform badly twice in a row." Lynagh also wants to see an attitude change from England and the emergence of a leadership group to give the team a spine to build a World Cup-winning squad around by 2015.
"England need to get back to the attitude the 2003 Cup-winning team had about playing at Twickenham," said the former Saracens fly-half.
"England should be favourites and winning every game at home and that must be the attitude. Given that South Africa and New Zealand will arrive in the next two weeks, this should — on form — be the easiest match. It is a good time to try to pick Australia off."

FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University senior right-handed pitcher Erin Jones was selected by the New York Mets in the 31st round of Major League Baseball's 2004 First-Year Player Draft, Tuesday (June 8).
Jones was selected as the third pick in the 31st round (No. 914), and became the fifth Peach Belt Conference player chosen (through the first 32 rounds of the 50-round draft).
Jones, a 5-10 Dillon native, earned first-team Rawlings/ABCA All-South Atlantic Region honors each of the past two years. He was also an All-Peach Belt selection in 2003 and 2004, and this past season he was named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District III College Division baseball team. In May, Jones received a B.S. degree in biology (cum laude), graduating with a 3.50 grade point average.
This past season, he compiled an 8-3 record with one save and a 2.88 earned run average, striking out 90 batters in 100 innings, while walking only 19. He completed seven games of his 13 starts to lead the Peach Belt in that category. He stands second in the PBC in wins, third in innings pitched, and fourth in strikeouts.
Jones helped lead the Patriots to a 29-17 record, a season-ending six-game winning streak, and a fifth-place finish in the Peach Belt standings.
In three years at FMU, he set Patriot career marks for wins (29-14 mark), complete games (29 in 41 starts), innings (336), and strikeouts (315), while twice setting the FMU single-season record for strikeouts: 106 in 2002 and then 119 in 2003.
Jones is the first FMU player to be drafted since left-hander Hal Chafey was chosen by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 20th round of the 2002 draft.

I am speaking as a user not the web designer, We really dont start with a search on a discovery of a web page. I think small amount of active users make searchs and everybody knows where search bar is when things come to that point, it is usually on the top right of the page. So I really dont understand why there is a search form on the very active important area of the page. Search form in the center is right only for search engine homepages I think.
I will try the extension. Thanks
I use also Nexus 5. Solid android solution! No performance issue. Extra extra fast. Stable system.
It has a built-in wireless charge back case. You can use it with any wireless charge kit (like Samsung's, it doesnt matter)Case is not one of those cheap plastics. Try some pressure on the case and no harshy sound comes. A video about this is here: a comparison with G2 http://youtu.be/6GcvLqmwPCo?t=9m28s

What a small world Thanks for saying hi. Are you a contributor at the Foundation framework? Pretty awesome framework if you ask me. I kinda stopped using it since I joined Envato and saw their way of doing things.(I just tried opening my profile on Chrome and it worked fine. Maybe a random bug?)

It's going to be special night for one Kindersley man as he steps onto the ice to referee his first NHL game as Edmonton plays host to Colorado.
It's been a long road for 28-year-old Graham Skilliter and he's looking forward to see his dream finally fulfilled.
"Once I fell asleep last night I was fine, but I did toss and turn for quite a bit thinking about tonight," said Skilliter.
"It's been something I've been dreaming about for some time now and I'm just looking forward to that puck finally dropping."
Skilliter got into officiating at a young age, following his dad who was an official as well. He said he just wanted to be on the ice following in his dad's footsteps and to make some extra money.
Skilliter said while he saw success at an early age, it's been a tough process.

"It's been a big commitment," said Skilliter.
"It's a lot of support from family, friends and co-workers throughout the years. I've missed family events. I moved down to the U.S. for a year to chase the dream. I've put a lot of miles on the road. It's tough, but when you're chasing a dream it seems easier."
Skilliter said he knows he has a lot of work in front of him but hopes tonight is the first of a thousand more games to come in the NHL.

Measuring Quench
Im trying to build for .035" quench. The problem is that the pistons have some rock to them. When pro builders say build for .035" quench is that based on the average of the piston rock or are they basing the .035 quench on the maxium piston rock location? My pistons on average are .004 out of the deck, but you can rock them to +.016 above to -.008 below deck. So for proper quench do I buy .039 head gaskets or .051?
did you try checking them right above the wrist pin the area that the piston would rock the least? imo i would run the .051 gaskets just to be on the safe side. will not make much of a power difference.
Agree with miller_time, it might be fine with .039" gasket at .035" quench but you are really riding the line there with no real benefit over the .047 you'd have with the .051" gasket.
Most guys measure over the pin axis, where rock is the least, and .040" is generally considered the low limit that allows for that rock you are measuring to not be a factor.
I've run .034" quench on a 7500 rpm 383 stroker, but piston to bore clearance was .0035", seems like rock was only about .012" total in that case, and the pistons come so close to the head that the carbon is literally "buffed" see through on the quench side of the piston, we couldn't go any tighter without a collision.
These are some of the basic questions that need to be answered when the squish/quench clearance starts getting below .040 inch. Tighter squish/quench is within the pursuit of absolute maximum power, as such the collision risk between piston and head goes up. Other problems arise in sealing the head and block as the gaskets get quite thin even on a zero deck block. Often the only sealing solution becomes O rings to maintain reliability. Engines running this tight usually are not expected to run too many miles between disassembly inspections and part replacements, this is something not practical for street engines that are expected to run several thousand miles between rebuilds.
While this is the territory of measuring piston rock and its effect on the squish/quench clearance, it also gets into the machining dimensions of the crank journals, rod lengths, and piston pin to crown, and crank centerline to head deck of the block. This requires that every cylinder be measured as to height to the deck as getting under .040 inch for squish/quench is well inside the range of production machining variation. This can force you into blue printing the individual parts which gets expensive very quickly. So in the end it comes to what the engine will be used for and how large is your Visa account maximum.
I understand all that but it doesnt really answer my question. Building for the street or strip or for a grocery go getter isnt going to make any difference if quench is based on the maximum piston rock and I build it for average.
If I take the average and build for .035 then that makes the max piston rock at only .024"..... Are quench numbers usually based on using the average of piston rock (center of piston front and back locations not the top and bottom) or based on using the maximum piston rock? Do they take into account piston rock when calculating for min quench numbers?
As far as i know most shops (and myself) measure over the pin, with .040" clearance being the accepted minumum that allows for acceptable clearance when running, and covers including the rock you are seeing. Remember that rock will be a lot less when the piston is up to operating temp and expanded to its actual running size.
The problem of squish/quench amounts is dependent upon area and clearance. Clearance gets a lot of talk, but area is seldom mentioned. There are two purposes to squish/quench. Squish is the ejection of mixture from the far side of the cylinder toward the spark plug. This serves to stir the mixture getting air and fuel molecules into close association and to break up any globules of fuel. This stirs and shoots the mixture into the space by the spark plug increasing the density of mixture before the plug. This increases the likelihood that the spark will catch the mixture on fire and once lit speeds the burn and takes the burn to a complete reaction which maximizes power and minimizes fuel consumption.
The other function is quench, this is the result of having a considerable amount of surface area enclosing a small volume. This removes heat from the far-side mixture so it does not self ignite before the flame front gets there. If it does self ignite there are at lease two pressure waves in the cylinder which when they collide make the typical pinging sound associated with detonation and/or preignition. This is the sound of the piston being hammered to death.
So far as I have seen there is no magic formula to determine the precise amount of squish/quench an engine should have. I've not seen a formula or rule of thumb in either Ricardo's or Taylor's writings.
By experience and documented tests we can see that the amount of squish/quench in terms of a function is directly proportional to cylinder diameter and spark plug placement. That is the larger the cylinder the more area of the combustion chamber needs to be devoted to Squish/Quench. This also holds for the further from the center the spark plug is located the more squish/quench is needed.
All this can be is an optimization of conditions. In the end there is so much resistance to detonation a given fuel has. The best you can do is get the most energy from the fuel without blasting the guts out of the engine. But you can't just get better and better performance from the fuel by making the squish/quench step bigger or closing the clearance. Ideally a modern combustion chamber is about 1/3 squish/quench and 2/3's valve and spark plug pocket for a wedge chamber. The spark plug located as close as practical to the center but needs to be off set enough for valve clearance. A hemi or pent roof chamber offers better spark plug placement but usually has a less effective squish/quench which is now a narrow band around the circumference of the cylinder.
Piston shape is very important, for a wedge a tight chamber with a flat top piston is ideal but usually creates too much compression. A D dish design allows the compression ratio to be tailored and keeps the dish under the valve pocket. The OEMs have a bad habit of using circular dish pistons because of cost advantages they fit both sides of the engine where D dishes have a separate left and right orientation and therefore from a cost stand point only half as many of a design orientation can be made. The circualr dish reduces the close locating of the piston crown to the squish/quench deck reducing the functional area. The bottom of the dish may sit from .08 to .1 inch lower than the crown, seriously limiting the amount of closure clearance. These things significantly reduce this function in most production engines which pushes the owner operator to compensate with a higher grade fuel or more of it as in rich mixtures, or compromising the ignition timing thus throwing unburnt mixture out the tail pipe power and efficiency going with it.
Gotta run, I'll pick this up tomorrow if you want.
Looking at the piston rock issue from a non technical side, if the piston is rocked to either side, it will be rocked back as it reaches TDC, in effect 'leveling' itself somewhat, the area over the pin axis is where any <solid> contact will occur if it's going to happen, therefore where quench should be set. JMO.
measuring Q
? when the piston comes up on the compression stroke, why wouldn't the pressure be equal over the top of the piston? Somebody's law says pressure inside a confined space would be equal in all directions, so why would the piston be level?
Thanks thats what I wanted to know.
Add to those movements the dynamic of the piston weight going over the top. This wants to and does stretch the rod length however minor that may be, but it also pulls the rod bearing clearance up adding a few more thousandths inch to everything.

text: Does anyone know anything about the legalities of transporting a paintball gun in PA and also in Maryland? I'm going to play paintball in Taneytown, MD tomorrow and I never really gave paintball gun transport a thought since it is not a firearm in the traditional sense. I just don't want to get into a sticky situation lest there be a law regarding legal transport in either state. I figured it'd be a safe bet if I left the CO2 tank off, took the barrel off and secured it in my cargo hold in my paintball case. I've traveled with it in PA many times, and this is usually how I transport, I just never gave it much thought until I figured I might as well look since I am going to Maryland, and we all know how they are with anything that shoots :rolleyes:

Violence Free Workplace
Ever since the Virginia Tech Shootings... colleges around the country have been looking for ways to make their campuses safer.
This week... the University Of Florida held a meeting to work on how to ensure a safe campus and community.
Members of U-F's Human Resources Department... Counseling Center... and Police Department all took part.
The three groups went over a variety of situations that might happen on campus... what triggers those situations... and how to deal them.
"We thought it was important to bring these three groups together to talk about it in a cohesive way and unfortunately situations do occur on campus and we need to be prepared."
Paula Fussell says the University has been providing training like this for some time now... but they thought it was a good idea to get the three groups together so they work more closely in the event of a dangerous situation.

my son has to pick out "key words" in a story. what are "key words" and can I get an example? Please and thanks.
What grade level is this?
Have you been given a particular story? Title and author??
third grade...the story is "Nothing is impossible said Nelly Bly" by Judy Carlson
That story must still be under copyright. I can't find it online.
Try these steps:
1. Read the story aloud (either you read to your son or your son reads to you or you alternate paragraphs or pages).
2. Ask him to tell you what the main scenes are in the story. (places)
3. Ask him to tell you what the main actions are in the story.
4. Once he has those things firmly in his mind, ask him to give you 6-8 words that are very important in the story. As he's telling you, jot them down and then the two of you can go over them. If you don't agree with his chosen words, don't openly disagree, but ask him about each one. Then ask him if there are any other words that he thinks he should include.
Thank you. Will do.

By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted…
Proverbs 11:11
William Bradford and the Mayflower Pilgrims dreamed of a society that would be like a "city on a hill," setting an example for all the world of what a nation would like under God's Kingdom. They brought that "DNA" into what would become America. History's freest and most prosperous nation was born, not in Philadelphia's Constitution Hall, not in the debates between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists, not even on the Yorktown battlefield, but in the hearts of the upright people who wanted to establish a society that would glorify God.

I see the G36 vs Kahr thread was closed, I didn't see any info on one of the questions I have about the G36.
The grip on the Glock looks shorter than on the Kahr. I see the tech specs put the height at pretty much the same thing. I LOVED the way the Kahr felt in my hand. I had plenty of room for my three bottom fingers. If anyone with a Glock 36 and/or a P45 could measure from the outside of the trigger guard to the bottom of the mag I would appreciate it.

Matthews: Granholm is a 'Genius', So Can She Play Palin?
On Tuesday night's "Hardball," Chris Matthews wondered if Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, "an Ivy League grad" and "genius," was really a good choice to play the role of Sarah Palin in Joe Biden's debate prep. During a segment with Democratic consultant Nancy Skinner, who is prepping Granholm, the "Hardball" host implied the "Harvard Law" graduate may not be the best "fit" to play the Republican vice presidential nominee:
She's a genius. You think she is, in, in her manner, in her background and she's born in Canada. How does she sort of fit the role of Sarah Palin? Why is she a good sparring partner to play that role?
A little later in the segment Matthews painted Palin as empty-headed as he worried the "neo-conservatives" would "home-school" her in the "ideology of the right," like they did to Dan Quayle and George W. Bush.
The following exchanges occurred on the September 30 edition of "Hardball":
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Joining me now is Democratic consultant Nancy Skinner, who helped prep Jennifer Granholm, the Michigan governor, who is playing Sarah Palin in Joe Biden's debate prep. What an interesting role you're playing. Also with us MSNBC political analyst Pat Buchanan. Nancy, tell me why you think Governor Granholm, who's what, an Ivy League grad law? What? Didn't she go to Harvard Law or something? She's a genius. You think she is, in, in her manner, in her background and she's born in Canada. How does she sort of fit the role of Sarah Palin? Why is she a good sparring partner to play that role?
PAT BUCHANAN: Let her own philosophy, her own personality come through. Let her be, Sarah be Sarah. If she loses then you lose, but you don't lose on somebody else's game-plan.
MATTHEWS: Pat, you have forgotten the nature of a neo-conservative. They find these-
BUCHANAN: She's not a neo-conservative!
MATTHEWS: No, no!
BUCHANAN: Yeah.
MATTHEWS: The people briefing her are, in this home-schooling exercise that's going on. It's just like they did with Quayle or George W. Bush. They get a newcomer who hasn't had a lot of book learning in the ideology of the right, and they teach them the right words. You don't think that's going on right now? Randy Scheunemann is not filling her with that ideology right now?
