Need help picking color for bathroom
2 Attachment(s)
I am finishing my basement and I tiled my shower with brown tiles of different shades. I need a color to paint the walls in there. I really don't want to do brown, because of the tiles and the rest of the basement is done in a Khaki color. Any ideas? Pic is attached of the bathroom, sorry for the poor quality, they were taken with my phone.
Pale green or blue always goes well with brown shades (at least to me:wink:).
Gorgeous I hope one of my future remodeled bathrooms looks half as good as that.
But back on topic, I think that a garnet would look stellar as well as the blues hue.
I think I would pick out one of the "khaki" or "suede" hues from the tile and run with that. Then I would splash some dramatic color with towels and so forth.
looks good i would keep colors in the same family....as light as you can ...my wife is interior decorator... she said you can add stronger colors with accents...
:no: Really like this forum....
Olivia & Will's Furniture
With your choices, I think a pearl glaze would go great, and bring out the lighter shades in your tile. Lowe's has a wonderful treatment I think called brushed pearl in many colors.

text: (July 30) -- A high school teacher in Connecticut is in hot water after spanking an unruly student, police say. Francis Hajosy, 54, of Stafford, has been charged with fourth-degree sexual assault and second-degree breach of peace for the incident, which occurred last month in his classroom at Enfield High School, according to court documents. Enfield Police Department High school teacher Francis Hajosy, 54, of Stafford, Conn., has been charged with fourth-degree sexual assault and second-degree breach of peace for allegedly spanking a student. The student, who has not been identified, was reportedly in Hajosy's classroom during her study hall period. The incident was sparked when she put her feet on a desk, prompting Hajosy to say, "You know, you're not too big for me to put over my knee and spank," the Hartford Courant reported, citing the arrest affidavit. The student picked up a bottle of spray glue and sprayed it into the air, at which time Hajosy put his hands on her shoulders, authorities say. A brief scuffle ensued, during which the girl attempted to kick Hajosy; police say he responded by spanking her four times.

Among the discussed changes and leaks, media are predicting the following:
- An unbreakable display – It appears that Apple have signed a deal to use quite a bit of sapphire glass in its phones. According to techradar.com the company is buying up enough to use the super-hard technology for its displays.
- Display Size – Two Bigger Screen Sizes – Accoringat least two bigger screen sizes — 4.7-inch and 5.5- or 5.7-inch
- Thickness – the iPhone 6 will apparently be 6mm (0.2 inches) thick. This design is smaller than the the iPhone 5s' which is 7.6mm (0.3 inches) in thickness.
- An anodized aluminum body – which according to media is taken from the iPod Nano
- Storage Capacity – it will apparently come with 64GB of storage capacity
- Curvaceous Design – similar to iPhone 5C's design
- Touch ID fingerprint
Today we will showcase some of the concept designs:
1. Federico Ciccarese
Ciccarese has based his concept design on what a larger iphone may look like and how it may feature at least 2 bigger screen sizes: 4.7-inch and 5.5- or 5.7-inch. On his blog he writes "The resolution of screen allows the icons reorganization on the springboard. More details are clearly visible from the images".
2. Mark Pelin
Pelin is a Dutch industrial product design student. He also has created some concepts of the new phone based on some of the leaked specs. The dailymail.co.uk explain: "Rumours suggest the iPhone 6 will be 6mm (0.2 inches) thick, which is smaller than the iPhone 5s' 7.6mm (0.3 inches) design. This has led to rumors the handset will be known as the iPhone Air. The antenna stripes on Pelin's mockups (pictured) are 1mm wide – thinner than what's appeared on the leaked dummy models".
Italian ad agency SET Solution shared an iPhone Air concept. It features a Touch ID fingerprint scanner as well as a larger edge-to-edge display. The ultra-thin design weighs only 70 grams compared to the iPhone 5s which weighs 112 grams. Some media have said however that it isn't exactly what Apple are planning. BGR.com have stated for example "while the renders look great and introduce some believable handset characteristics, they are not based in any way on what Apple actually has in mind for its upcoming generation of smartphones".
4. Martin Hajek
Hajek explains on his site "Based on the latest leaked information I read on www.iphoneclub.nl I decided to update the MacFan iPhone 6 concept by adding a twist, or rather, a slight curve to the screen edges". Below you will see some of Hajek's concepts. He goes on to say "This way the 4.7″ version can be made a whopping 4mm narrower – looks like a nicer fit to the hand"!
It won't be long now until Apple release the new iphone 6 and it will be interesting to see which of these design concepts actually come about.

By Nathan Denny and Scott Axelrod
SESSION RECAP: General Management Topics. Not one but 2 Private Advisory Board sessions convened to discuss the issue of time management and leadership. Here's a rundown.
How do I balance customer acquisition with building infrastructure?
Why It's Important
Less than 6 months old, this agency has demanded much work from its leader simply to keep up. Time could be used more effectively. What's needed is a formula or routine that can expedite time management by, ideally, keeping a solid focus and repeating it.
The agency is about to hire 3 new interns.
Clarifying Questions
- Are you ready to hire these new interns?
- Do you have well-defined long-term goals?
- Do you have quarterly short-term goals?
- What percentage of time do you spend on each of your major buckets? Break this down.
- By the end of the year, what's the most important thing you want to have in place?
Suggestions / Solutions
- Block your time out on a calendar.
- Hire the right people — even if it takes longer to find them.
- Prioritize your hires: Maximize each hire to take things off your plate so that you can spend more time building the business. Develop a "criteria for success" prior to new hires.
Action Plan
Based on today's peer discussion, this leader's immediate action items are:
- Putting TASKS on paper and allocating more time for them.
- Put out more help wanted ads — immediately!
- Draft "criteria for success."
- Identify a personality assessment.
How do I balance my time on nurturing the culture change versus the strategizing for sales opportunities?
Re-stated Issue
How do I define and quickly implement a new core value system?
Why It's Important
Culture change is needed to free up time for this leader, whose small, family-based business is growing — and, as it does so, facing more competition. More needs to be done "to get the business."
The company has many long-term employees that are scared of change — they don't understand the need and feel that their current ways are successful enough. After all, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?
That attitude, however, is leaving opportunities on the table. "We need to change the way we do business in order to grow. Our sales staff needs to become more than order takers."
Clarifying Questions
- Is staff training one-time, or ongoing? Was it conceptual or specific?
- Does your team do any team-building (or other team-encouraging) activities?
- Is training one-on-one, or could it be done in groups?
- Is there any incentive for the employees to adapt to your ideas of culture change?
Suggestions / Solutions
- Create group sessions for employees to share their thoughts on the current culture change.
- Hire an ongoing trainer.
- Ask employees for honest feedback and suggestions.
- Create an incentive program to boost morale and push employees to accomplish more.
- Set Core Values — and then base your entire management and review system on these core values.
Action Plan
Resolved! This leader will tackle the following tasks immediately:
- Do the cost analysis to hire an ongoing trainer
- Define success
- Create an incentive for employees
How can I assign and manage time against tasks more efficiently? How do I organize multiple projects and multiple people in to a seamless process?
Why It's Important
Tasks not completed on time impact delivery to clients, thereby impacting the profit margins and client retainers.
What's needed is an updated system and/or process that helps assign the correct amount of time to each staff member to deliver quality work on a consistent basis while maintaining (scratch that, INCREASING) profitability.
Basecamp is currently being used to manage projects and calendar assignments … it's not cutting it. At the level this leader is engaging it, time allocation is insufficient. The use of plugins to enable supplemental functionality within Basecamp is being considered.
Qualifying Questions
- How many employees do you have?
- How many clients are you working with at any given time?
- How many people typically get involved in a project?
- Do you see this as a macro-level issue, or is it an issue with your staff?
- Is Basecamp thoroughly entrenched in your organization? How was it implemented?
Suggestions / Solutions
- Hire someone that can teach you the ins and outs of Basecamp.
- Consider laying out price levels based on how quick work is needed — this will prioritize and help increase profitability.
- Leverage Vistage Village and see what peers in similar situations are using.
Recommended Resources:
- Microsoft Project
- Top Grading
- Paid version of www.Evernote.com — works on PC, iPad, and Android, using cloud functionality.
- Google Calendar
- Microsoft Outlook
Action Plan
This leader admits it — he needs to do his due diligence and see if he can better leverage Basecamp … or potentially look in to other systems.
Session date: Jun 21, 2012

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Finding a Good Trainer (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/finding-good-trainer/)
- - Diabetic Alert Scent Training Suggestions Near San Diego, CA (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/finding-good-trainer/436441-diabetic-alert-scent-training-suggestions-near-san-diego-ca.html)
Diabetic Alert Scent Training Suggestions Near San Diego, CA
I have looked online but I was wondering if anyone here could recomend someone. I will be getting a GSD puppy in a couple months. I am looking to get Obedience, Socialization and most importantly Diabetic Alert/Scent training. Someone close to San Diego, CA if possible. I am not looking to purchase a trained dog or to leave my dog with someone for a couple years. I want to be doing the training while working closely with a professional trainer. I am willing to travel but the closer to San Diego, CA then I would be able to meet with the trainer easily. The farther I would have to travel would make it hard to meet more than once a week. Farther than Los Angeles it would really have to be worth it above all others. I am open to either full on Service Dog training or just basic Diabetic Alert/Scent training coupled with Obedience and Socialization training.
Also training a GSD must not be an issue for the trainer. I am not here to try to give someone a bad name but I had one trainer say they did not want to train GSD and one say that they did not like training GSD for that type of job.
If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. I have already contacted Karma Dog Training and Pro Train which are in San Diego and Vista which are good so traveling there multiple times a week is not an issue.
Hey there,
How did this end up going for you? I'm about to do the same with a GSD for DAD, coincidentally in San Diego as well. A co-worker of mine trained his DAD himself (not GSD--Lab/Whippet mix), and he has had great results from self-training.
I'd be interested to hear what you've discovered in the past 12 months. Feel free to private message me.
It is so hard to find a group that specializes in DADs here, let alone one that will train your personal dog. I ended up having to gather information on the training (I had prior experience training for nosework, but that was it in the scent department) and do it myself.
I didn't find this until after, but I found this book useful. Only other thing I could think of is try and build a good relationship with a local trainer that is good and that you trust and see if they'd be willing to help?

Storms Delay Raising of Costa Concordia
Published September 16th, 2013
Loading Video...
GIGLIO ISLAND, ITALY--Thunderstorms delayed the start of raising the Costa Concordia cruise ship.
The ship crashed into a reef off Italy's coast last year, killing 12 people.
Engineers will use pulleys and counterweights to nudge the ship free from it's rocky seabed as crews aim to raise the vessel 65-degrees to vertical for eventual towing.

New York's Newest, Through a Classic Lens
Tue Jun 19 2007
In case the traditional approach of planting your child in front of a dull-colored, plastic background for his first portrait doesn't appeal to you, we recommend checking out Classic Kids Photography. The studio, created and run by former tax attorney Julie Floyd, opened its first Manhattan location about a week ago on the Upper East Side (1182 Lexington Ave at 81st St; 212-396-1160, classickidsphotography.com). Floyd's approach is based on a highly artistic vision, and the resulting black-and white photos thus stand out as candid and imaginative. These kids appear to be caught in a comfortable moment, not forced into an artificial pose. As a result, they are much more pleasant to keep on your wall for years to come, and aren't likely to cause embarrassment when your child grows up.Share your thoughts

Ghost World (edition 2007)
by Daniel Clowes
Work details
Ghost World by Daniel Clowes
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Pretty good. I've owned this forever, like years and years and I finally just read it last year. I'm so slow.
Now I can watch the movie.
Waste of time in my opinion. Or maybe I'm too old to get it
Set in the '90s, this tale about two cynical misfits still accurately details what happens after graduation; priorities change, friendships are tested, and the world just keeps on spinning.
Enid and Becky are teenage girls in a suburban town who are flitting about between various awkward social and sexual interactions as they try to figure out the direction of their lives. Ghost World tells the story of their angst and their encounters with creeps, nice guys, and everyone else in between.
Perhaps my expectations were just too high with this book -- it has a lot of hype, a major film was based off of it, and I had previously enjoyed Clowes's Mister Wonderful -- but I found this book rather disappointing. Clowes is credited with having a keen ear for the youth voice, but I remember being a teen girl and hanging out with other teen girls yet never did I once hear one of them say, "See that guy ... He gives me a total boner!" Still, Clowes does tap into a lot of typical teen issues like navigating sexual identity, holding on to nostalgia for childhood while looking forward to the future, and negotiating the fine line of trying to keep old friendships when starting a new chapter. However, the almost unremitting cynicism and cruelty of the two main characters to each other and everyone else around them made it very difficult to care for them or their situations.
The limited palette scheme of black, white, and pale blue made for interesting illustrations. The short, vignette-style chapters allow for the book to be a quick read. Still, all in all, this book wasn't really my cup of tea. I am curious to see how it translates into film though, so I'll be checking out the movie next.
Ghost World the graphic novel which was later made into a feature film offers the satisfaction of completing a book in a single sitting, if that is your thing. In my case I took my pleasure, and at times displeasure (the characters are 90s vintage Mean Girls) over a long weekend in the country. Ghost World itself covers several months or weeks in the life of its heroines, best of buds Enid (Coleslaw) Cohn and Rebecca Doppelmeyer, and a strange cast of other characters who appear and disappear in the different chapters that were once stand alone comics. Though each chapter is self-contained, the story has a loose narrative arch. When the girls are not being nasty and obnoxious, they are making bemused and cynical observations of their surroundings. Ghost World has been rightly credited with realistic sounding dialogue and expertly capturing teen age angst. At times Enid and Rebecca can be extremely funny but the overall tone of the graphic novel is sadness and loss of innocence. You come to realize over time that their nastiness is rooted in pain and vulnerability. Finishing the book I was glad to have long ago left those years behind me.
This book is a fascinating insight into the mind of the disenfranchised youngster, and anyone who can remember being there will probably understand the journey the girls are going on.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0224060880, Paperback)Dan Clowes described the story in Ghost World as the examination of "the lives of two recent high school graduates from the advantaged perch of a constant and (mostly) undetectable eavesdropper, with the shaky detachment of a scientist who has grown fond of the prize microbes in his petri dish." From this perch comes a revelation about adolescence that is both subtle and coolly beautiful. Critics have pointed out Clowes's cynicism and vicious social commentary, but if you concentrate on those aspects, you'll miss the exquisite whole that Clowes has captured. Each chapter ends with melancholia that builds towards the amazing, detached, ghostlike ending.

One of the best-selling and critically-acclaimed graphic novels of all-time telling the story of two supremely ironic, above-it-all teenagers facing the thrilling uncertainty of life after high school. As they attempt to carry their life-long friendship into a new era, the careful dynamics of their inseparable bond are jolted, and what seemed like a future of endless possibilities looks more like an encroaching reality of strip malls, low-paying service jobs and fading memories.… (more)

I'd say so, you creamed your current 10K PR!
I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Now that you've taken care of that string of crappy runs, hopefully you can turn your attention to that string of runny craps...
When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?

|Black Turtleneck: Gap
Jacket: Coldwater Creek
Pinstiped Trouser: Lane Bryant
Necklace: Chicos
Let me confess up front….I'm not a fan of turtlenecks. I always felt like they were choking me and actually made me appear larger than I am. I much prefer a V neck sweater..or cowl…or boatneck. But, I have allowed this black turtleneck to hang around my closet for over 15 years and I usually wear it at least once a winter….I tried to change one year and bought thrift turtlenecks in many colors…which eventually went right back to thrift.
Researching the history of the turtleneck, did not endear me to mine at all. Any fashion statement that was originally worn by dock workers should be suspect from the beginning! The dark "seaman" look is really not all that attractive. But I will concede…occasionally, the classic black turtleneck can have its place and serve its purpose.
I do not ascribe to the one site I found which said,
Clothes Women Should Never Wear
From Turtlenecks to Tapered Pants, Styles That Don't Suit Your Shape
Never say never. Depending on how you style turtlenecks…I think they can suit your shape but it requires pairing them with a great jacket!! Nevertheless, this is probably my one time for this winter…but, never say never!!

Rated: Intermediate. This trail can be done a couple of different ways. Some do the 3 mile/1800 ft elevation gain climb up to the covered gazebo type picnic table and then go back down. Others continue on to the restrooms and then turn left onto the Parmalee Gulch trail, do the loop and then hit the Castle Trail and go back down. Whichever way you do this, it's a good work out and a fun downhill.
Trail Map: http://jeffco.us/parks/parks-and-trails/mount-falcon-park/
Directions: From Denver, take the the Morrison Rd./CO 8 exit from CO 470. Head west into town (Main Street), take a left to stay on CO 8. Go about 1.5 miles and turn right onto Forest Ave. Follow the signs to the parking area for Mount Falcon Park. http://mapq.st/wkEj9M

why dont' you get them a cheaper surefire....if they don't have one now at all, they'll love even the basic one and it's half the price for you!
I vote for eBay. Thats where I buy most of my stuff, if you take your time you can find some really good deals.

Why not get them Nitrolon G-2's? Same as the 6P except plastic and you can find them for around $35. They are SureFire's and available in black, bright yellow, desert tan and OD green. I got 15 of the Lithium CR123's today at the gun show for $19. I hate to say it, but AA's just don't provide the intensity as the little Lithiums.
These are tactical lights. Not utility lights. Sure they can be used for finding a set of dropped keys in a dark movie theater. But they're better for illuminating a bad guy in a dark parking garage and thereby also blinding him thus allowing you to change positions and eliminate the threat if necessary. I stockpile the batteries. They have a shelf life in excess of 10 years. Don't skimp on stuff that's for saving lives....maybe your own.

Sam's Club is selling a nice led flashlightthat comes in a package of 2 for $28 .It takes 3 triple a batteries place in plastic spacer.Batteries
have a run life of 20 hours and led has I think 1000 hours.The light body is aluminum.It's not a surefire but it's a nice light.
If you want a light that runs AAs, try a MiniMag LED. But that's not a tactical light by any means. It's a great utility light, though, and you'll get a lot of good light from it.
I've got 3 6P's and 1 G2. I got the the 6P's and the batteries from Surefire's website. The 6P's were a little higher (58.00), but hey've got the best price I've found for their batteries (12 @ 21.00), plus free shipping w/ any order over 99.00. I didn't find the prices on eBay all that great after shipping was added. Just my .02. Good luck

OK here are some installation pics...
The headunit as you can see from the first pic is the Kenwood Excelon DNX 8120
Official page here:
Kenwood DNX 8120
The rearview camera is the Kenwood CCD-2000
I had to make a template out of some spare plastic hat I had in order to provide a stable mounting point underneath the rear bumper.
I chose the right side of the license plate to mount it, but I think you can mount it anywhere you want really.
Wiring everything up was fairly straightforward. I provided a few images of the screens... Grounding the parking brake wire works fine and allows you to utilize all the functions of the unit even when you're moving. DVD movies play flawlessly. The unit even comes with 2 additional a/v inputs so you can run a PS2 (or 3?) off of it. It has one additional video out and although I don't have an ipod, it can connect via a USB connection. Also, you can use a second USB port for a flash drive - pictures, movies, songs, whatever. I found that the ideal angle for the screen (given the fairly bright glare from the CA sun) is at -1. If you have tint, you may be able to get away with the 0 angle (pictured with the unit off).
The bluetooth is great and automatically picks up my Centro without problems. I mounted the microphone on the driver's side A Pillar. From tests so far, the quality is great.
Still figuring out a few things, but so far very happy with this purchase. I was able to get in on a preorder, so I got a pretty awesome price for it.
I'm not quite familiar with flickr but here goes also:

|Mais informações
In Still Following Percy, a collection of interrelated essays, Lewis Lawson studies the Percy canon to speculate that an earlier and more fundamental shaping of Walker Percy's character and fictional imagination was his sense of the inadequacy of the relationship which he as an infant had with his mother and of her early death. Lawson argues that the sense of loss led to Percy's tendency to regression, to his need to create his own life narrative in fiction after psychoanalysis had been insufficient as a means of reconstruction, and to his conversion to Roman Catholicism. Lawson interprets Percy's conversion as a statement of the possibility of reconciliation through the transcendent truth.

How To Deal With A Playerette
traits of a playeretteShe's very intelligent. That's what makes her capable of being a playerette, in two ways: first, her intelligence intrigues men, who, like women, enjoy a challenge. Second, she's smart and deft enough to carry off being a playerette, which requires a combination of skills not just anybody has.
She's attractive. The other necessary ingredient.
She's flirtatious and sexual.
She's a professional tease. She seems to know just what to say to pique your interest while delivering only enough to keep you around.
She has traits of a gold digger. Note that whereas the gold digger stays with one man and digs to the bottom of his pockets, a playerette plays more than one man at a time, nicely balancing what she gets with how much (or little, actually) she has to commit to get it. As a result, she may often ask questions about your financial stability.
She's indifferent. Unlike most women a player will bed, a playerette may well be the one with more of a "take it or leave it" attitude.
She shows no signs of affection in public, like holding hands or grabbing onto your arm. Why? She doesn't want to sabotage her chances with other men who could be watching. Remember; this is a woman who's attracting the male gaze on a full-time basis.
She's popular and gets a lot of phone calls, but suspiciously screens some of them in your presence.
She plays along with the many guys that pick her up. She never knows what she might get out of them.
She's mysterious. Like a player, she prefers not to talk too much about how she spends her free time — perhaps more unusual for a woman than a man.
She takes charge of the conversation and the situation. She asks the right questions and makes all the plans, if not actively, then at least through her attitude and reactions. You're left trying to please her.
She might go out alone. On the other hand, she might have her own Wing Commander and female teammates to help her pick up men.
She knows what guys want. This is key. If you find yourself thinking things like, I've got to put up with a lot here, but every once in a while she does something that makes it all worth it, you're probably being played like a jukebox — especially if that "something" in question happens between the sheets. Women who easily keep men under their thumb with sex aren't doing it by accident.
Be a player, but don't get played...

Is the GSD the breed I'm looking for? (Kinda long . . )
Hello everyone! I'm new-ish to the board and just joined. I say new-ish because I've been secretly stalking various GSD boards for about a year now and this is the first time I've actually joined one to post on.
I'm hoping to get some feedback, on traits that I'm looking for in a dog and whether or not the GSD, or maybe another breed altogether, fits what I'm looking for.
I've been in love with the GSD ever since I got one as a kid. Ok, I didn't get one, I wanted a Golden, but my mom veto'd that decision and found a $50 who-knows-what-line GSD instead. I LOVED this dog. She was calm in the house, playful outside, always up for a walk or whatever I wanted to do with her. I even discovered one day that she was naturally protective, putting herself between my brother and a not-so-friendly neighbor. From that point on, GSDs were officially my heart breed. I had decided that I wanted to one day become a GSD breeder.
So I started doing research on "real" shepherds. The kind that come with pedigrees and papers and naturally I started looking at ASL in the AKC. I loved how vibrant their coats were, but could never quite get over how their back-ends looked. After seeing a few Champion "hock-walkers" I started looking elsewhere. I found German line GSDs, which I then learned could be split into working line and show line. I liked how they seemed to have more substance structurally than the ASL, but couldn't get over the curve in their back.
Then I found the East/DDR/Czech(sp?) lined GSDs and I was in love. I loved their big blocky heads, I loved their straighter backs, and I've never seen one walking on their hocks. It was after this that I discovered IPO (VPG?) and the importance of nerves and stress testing. So I seek out as many workingline breeders I could find (I've got a "favorites" list bookmarked with about 20 breeders in it) and stalking GSD boards and reading everything I could about what real owners were saying.
That's when I learned that the IPO had gone from a reliable breed test to a sport and it's not enough to simply be ABLE to work, you need to be ABLE to win. Competitors wanted high prey dogs who saw it as a game. Obviously still able to work, but maybe not so much emphasis placed on actual defense. And THEN there are those who compete at "midnight trials" which efficiently help render impressive IPO3's worthless. On top of that I was wondering exactly what kind of energy level these dogs are packing. I'd read one breeder bragging that you could only pet their dog briefly as they ran past you. I just don't know if that kind of energy level is . . . I wanna say practical? And then I read recently a thread on here about how much/long members exercise their dogs and it seemed that most members with working line shepherds worked their dogs for several hours a day. How does one find 2-3hrs/day to exercise/train 1 dog (let alone a pack of GSD breeding stock) and have time for work, family and other life chores?
I have this vision in my head, and I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out if I'm barking up the wrong tree. In my mind I see a versatile, adaptable dog. They have the drive/desire to work with their handler, driven to please and sensitive to what the handler wants. The dog can go from calm house dog to active agility/IPO/Obedience dog with ease. The dog CAN work, WANTS to work, but doesn't NEED to work. It can adapt to whatever the situation calls for. The dog can walk/hike/jog for miles eagerly, but wont complain if weather or otherwise interferes and they can't work for a while. And, most importantly for a shepherd, a natural protective instinct, like I saw with my GSD girl all those years ago.
Does this dog exist? And if so, is it the GSD? I think it is, everything in my wish list seems to match the GSD exactly except that I want a lower energy dog to whom working isn't a NEED the way eating and breathing are. The GSD is a working breed and I agree needs to be ABLE to work (and breeding stock, of corse, needs to be able to prove this), but is it too much to ask for a lower energy GSD who is a loving, protective member of the family?
If it's not a GSD I'm looking for, what breed might you recommend that is both adaptable and protective with a moderate energy level?
Sorry this was so long and wordy. I wanted to get as much of what was in my head out so that maybe someone could help me sort this out. And don't worry about any litters from me, as I don't even have a GSD at the moment and probably wont even be ABLE to have one for the next 5 years (unless something miraculous happens).

Let's see, where do we begin with this one?
Oh, I know I'll quote Carlos Mencia "Duh, Duh, Duh!"
This is a discussion on Funny: Man Brandishing Palm Frond, Flip Flops Tries To Rob Store within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Talk about environmentaly friendly ammo: Man Brandishing Palm Frond, Flip Flops Tries To Rob Store DELAND, Fla. -- It's an attempted robbery you might not ...
Talk about environmentaly friendly ammo:
Man Brandishing Palm Frond, Flip Flops Tries To Rob Store
DELAND, Fla. -- It's an attempted robbery you might not believe. Channel 9 obtained surveillance video that shows a man using part of a palm tree to hold up a store in DeLand.
Even though he didn't use a traditional weapon, he'll still face the same charges. How a customer responded to the threat was also unusual. He chased him out of the store with a bar stool.
Police said it ranks near the top as one of the oddest things they've ever seen. But the palm frond wasn't the robber's only weapon. He was also brandishing a pair of flip-flops. Gelando Olivieri burst through the door of V and F Discount Beverage threatening the clerk with the sharp end of a palm frond. He waved it like a spear, tapped on the counter and demanded money from Guruda Sarkar who admitted the surprise factor worked.
He just remembers the man wanting money.
"He just kept saying 'give me 50 dollar, give me 50 dollar,'" Sarkar said of the incident. Olivieri, with his shirt pulled up over his head, made the most of his homemade weapon. He started jabbing it toward the clerk, shaking the branch, slapping the man's hand away and demanding he open the register. What he didn't count on, apparently, was a customer inside who grabbed a bar stool from behind the counter and corralled the tree-wielding robber back out the door.
"He ran him out of the store with a bar stool. He was asked if he could identify the guy and he said 'yeah, that's George.' He knew him right away," said Sgt. John Anderson of the DeLand Police Department.
George Olivieri, who saw a judge for the first time on the armed robbery charge Thursday, was caught only a block or two away from the store. The store's owner says he's been robbed with knives and guns, but after watching the robbery back on tape he didn't know what to think.
"It was pretty funny when I saw he had a tree branch with him. Well, different people have different ways of robbing stores," said the owner, Goutam Sakar. Despite some of the comedy, it's still a serious crime. Police said the sharp end of the palm could have hurt somebody and Olivieri is in jail on a $20,000 bond.
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch; Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
-- Benjamin Franklin
Let's see, where do we begin with this one?

After getting one too many political ads in my Facebook newsfeed, I started paying closer attention to the "Paid for by" language that I expect to see on every paid political campaign message. The mayoral candidates for the City of Ann Arbor all have some work to do to get their disclosures in order for the 2014 campaign.
I looked for campaign disclosures on Facebook pages, on Twitter feeds, and on event pages created by the campaign on Facebook. I also looked generally at Google, searching for the phrase in question. The four candidates for the Democratic side of the Ann Arbor mayoral ballot are Stephen Kunselman, Sally Hart Petersen, Sabra Briere and Christopher Taylor.
Stephen Kunselman: while I can find a "Kunselman for Council" web site, I can't locate a "Kunselman for Mayor" web site. The candidate's Facebook page doesn't mention the candidacy that I can see. I haven't seen any ads from the candidate yet.
Sally Hart Petersen: No search results on Google for the mayoral campaign. A Facebook page for the candidate has 294 likes; in the header, it says "Paid for by the Committee to Elect Sally Hart Petersen to Mayor", but that header omits the expected address of the committee. I haven't seen any ads for the candidate yet.
Sabra Briere: A search for "Paid for by Sabra Briere for Mayor" generates two pages. The http://sabrabriereformayor.org/ web page has "Paid for by Sabra Briere for City Council" at the bottom, in white type on a yellow background making it virtually unreadable; it also has bunches of Latin text where the real text should be, making me suspicious that it's not real. On Facebook, the page "Vote for Sabra for Ann Arbor Mayor in the Democratic Primary on Tuesday August 5th 2014" has invited 500 people, but has no "Paid for by" disclosure. I haven't seen any ads for the candidate yet.
UPDATE from Sabra Briere:
Clearly, sabrabriereformayor.org is a non-working website. A completely different set of pages should be up soon - but in the meantime, I changed the accent yellow to an accent blue - so the white lettering is now higher contrast.
It isn't at all ready to be published, and is just there as filler for now.
Christopher Taylor: A search for "Paid for by Christopher Taylor for Mayor" has 49 results, from the candidate's own web site and from "ngpvanhost". (NGP VAN is a campaign website hosting platform for Democrats.) The "Christopher Taylor for Ann Arbor" Facebook page has 686 likes, with no "Paid for by" until you get to the "Contribute" page. Facebook ads for Taylor say "Sponsored", but do not disclose who is paying for them in either the text of the ad or in the image associated with the ad.
UPDATE from Christopher Taylor:
My understanding is that we included the proper disclosure language in the initial ad, but that for some reason it is not appearing. We're on it and will fix it pronto.
I appreciate the notification.
Are any of these clearcut campaign violations? Probably not. The relevant text of the law is "Any other medium used for campaign purposes shall clearly and unequivocally include the identification or disclaimer, or both, provided in section 47 of the act." Michigan campaign finance law has not been updated to provide specific rules for Facebook (or Twitter), so you can't point to a specific line of text that says "you did this wrong". Without specific guidance, there's wiggle room, and a wait for an opinion from the Attorney General.
Is this "flyspecking", as one candidate described my efforts, or mere "piffle" as another political operative chided me? It's still early in the race, but expectations are that this will be one of the most expensive political races in Ann Arbor mayoral history, with four primary campaigns going and an empty mayoral seat at stake. I fully expect my Facebook timeline and Google search results to be full of paid advertising, and that that advertising will get more and more political as the primary draws near. Close attention to who is paying how much for what is worthwhile, especially in the presence of "free media" like Facebook where you can sent out an unrelenting stream of updates and invites at no obvious direct cost to anyone except the poor reader who just wants to see funny cat videos.

The NWDA president's term is for one year; however it is tradition for presidents to serve two consecutive terms. Steve Chen, a member of the NWDA board since 2010, had previously served as first vice president.
"I greatly appreciate the faith that has been placed in me to lead NWDA," stated Steve Chen. "These are challenging times for our industry. The window manufacturing and sales business has become incredibly complex. NWDA manufacturing members are faced with increasingly stringent energy efficiency standards, expanding government regulations, an ever-demanding marketplace, and new product and production technologies as well as slowly recovering housing and construction industries. NWDA will play a lead role in overcoming these challenges."

SDLqThe program is a great way to encourage others in your life to become active. Often people need other folks walking or exercising with them to be encouraged to do it. There's more and more information that how obese we are or how much we exercise has less to do with our genes and more to do with our community. If we create a community that's working out or competing against each other, we will be a more fit community."

But wait,didn't Hillary lie then too?
Bush lied and 4,000 died.
And no,I don't personally care what nugent said.I don't have thin skin like some do.
I do care what the President of this country says.And if he lies I do take it personally,as should you.
Did Obama offer his services to his country bum?Well,did he?
Do you know if Nugent had a medical refusal?Nope,didn't think so.
How about the Obama lies?Do you care that he constantly lies?
How about Harry's lies?Do you care?
Distract,deny,lie,rinse and repeat......The Democrat mantra!
Talk about quotes what about Ted Nugent speech about the President and the names he called him. While most Republican are denoucing Nugent's name calling Bam dosen't care that Nugent scammed the induction physical. While Nugent was having the time of his life many young men were fighting for their lives in Vietnam. Apparently thats ok with Bamster. Bam creditabilty shot with Vietnam veterans Ba By the way I bet since it was 50 years ago you don't care about Jane Fonda all you care about is attacking the President.
Check it out buzzy,more supposed lies that are actualy the truth.I wonder why liberals are so gullible?
Wrong again buzzy.The GOP is coming up,but that matters not.Obama is a proven liar,nothing you can say will ever change that fact.
If you think Obama's numbers are bad you should check out the single digit GOP.
Uh oh,new jobless at 350,000.How long can liberals continue to ignore the Obama economy?
Those that approve of the way Obama is handling his job loses 5 points in a month,now at 41% of the delusional left.
You do it buzzy.You are the most intolerant of all intolerant Democrat's.Strange that none come to your defense,don't ya think?
But yet again you refuse to cite your source?What are you afraid of,judgement day?
The BoR says all Americans are equal even if your imaginary god hates some of them. Relax, this is just the latest example of the puny Christian god being hauled from the public square to the scrap heap. You should be used to it by now since we do it every 5 minutes.
How's about the Bill of Rights buzzy?Good enough citation?Your turn to put up,or better yet don't.Just continue your distract deny lie blame others schtick,it works sooo well.
You need a citation that all Americans are equal?
Run along, princess, the adults are talking.
Sorry buzzy but you need citations for each.No do as I say not as I do for you!
"All Americans are equal regardless of the Christian myth." - America
"You can still hate gay people it just won't carry the weight of law." - America
"Our secular country doesn't care what the narrow Christian defintion of marriage is." - America
"The Attorney General of the United States should be impeached over his repeated lawlessness in attempting to impose same-sex marriage throughout the nation ... Supreme Court rulings, and the constitutions of dozens of states that have specifically rejected the redefinition of marriage which the administration is trying to impose."
Rev. Bill Owens - President - Coalition of African American Pastors - Press Release - February 25, 2014
Did you know that 4 of the 5 biggest PAC's are in Obama's pocket unequalizer?Can't get that from politicus,can you?
Her is a much more interesting link unequalizer.it shows how lawless this administration is.No lies,no distraction,just Holder telling state AG's they can prosecute laws,or not.Illegal behaviour ay best.
"4 million people have signed up for health insurance through federal or state marketplaces set up under the Affordable Health Care law."
President Barack Obama - Speech before Organizing for America in Washington DC - February 25, 2014
Insurance companies say about 20% of these signees are no-pays and have not made their first payment ... That takes the total enrollment down to 3.2 million ... Now add in the 5 million who have lost their health care because of Obamacare rules ... and ... that my friends leaves the USA with 1.8 million less folks having no health insurance than before Obamacare sign-up began just five months ago ... Is this how we help those in need
Still can't live without far left wing information,can you unequalizer?
Why do House Republicans sanction this behavior? Because Issa is the bros Koch 'man in the House'
Here you go buzzy.try to understand what you read,if you CAN read.
You left out the part about you being a Clyde Bunt-ish dupe.
Let me know when you start a business buzzy,and how much you pay your employees.until then maybe you could learn some new words.
Or could it be because the "job creator's" invest in wall street instead of employees?And why would they do that,you ask?Because of uncertainty in the regulations they must abide by.
And since wall street is the highest it has ever been it would follow that the "job creator's" would be getting richer,and paying yet more taxes.
Wages are stagnant because the economy sucks,plain and simple.Raising the minimum would do nothing,except some would lose jobs.No big deal,right?
The goal of this administration is to make more people poor,so then they can get "free" everything from good old Uncle Sam.Kind of like you buzzy,just sit back and wait on your next handout.
"Consider the issues of the day: wage stagnation, ..."
The issue of the day is income inequality. Middle class wages are stagnant because failed Republican policies concentrate all the wealth with the 1% "job creators". Wages aren't stagnant at the top. Wages are stagnant for us because of income inequality.
Nothing to see here but teabagger weeping for his poor corporate master.

"Consider the issues of the day: wage stagnation, immigration ... the connecting sentiment is frustration at the state's failure to secure for us all the fruits of global capitalism while sparing us from any of the associated upheaval. But the real failure is to expect such miracle work in the first place ... There is a limit on what the state can do but no limit on our expectations."

"I take the stand that not only is homosexuality . . . not immoral, but that homosexual acts [teabagging, etc.] engaged in by consenting adults are moral, in a positive and real sense, and are right, good, and desirable, both for the individual participants and for the society in which they live."
Franklin Edward "Frank" Kameny - Died 2011 - Astronomer and activist who filed the first ever civil rights claim based on sexual orientation
Any information from any source that isn't hard left unequalizer?
bam the bigot keeps buying into bros Koch lies....of course they don't like AHC, it forces insurance companies to STOP discrimination; the same companies the Kochs invest! Nor do they want their Cancer Centers to be regulated... They have yet to come up with a 'story' that hasn't been debunked - including the link bam the bigot has provided. Pure BS. The woman is NOW getting insurance cheaper and still has the same doctor.
And we all know how honest Obama is,right unequalizer?Funny though,you can never admit that Obama lied.
The bros Koch are spending MILLIONS for anti-Obamacare ads, which, when followed up, turn out to be pure bull sh*t.
Here's one of their biggest LIES
And before the ACA 1 in 6 Americans had O healthcare so your suggestion would be? The GOP mantra - hurry up and die.
"Then on Feb. 12, just before going into (yet another) surgery, my mother was informed by Humana that it would not, in fact, cover her Sandostatin, or other cancer-related medications. The cost of the Sandostatin alone, since Jan. 1, was $14,000, and the company was refusing to pay. Obamacare made my mother's old plan illegal, and it forced her to buy a new plan that would accelerate her disease and death. The 'Affordable' Care Act is a brutal, Procrustean disaster. In principle, it violates the irreducible particularity of human life, and in practice it will cause many individuals to suffer and die."
Stephen Blackwood - President of Ralston College - Wall Street Journal - February 23, 2014
Ignorance is required in buzzyland.
Nothing to see here but another teabagger getting a Clyde Bunt-type duping.
Business are forced to cut costs due to Obamacare. It's either cut costs or go out of business. Going out of business is not an option. If you don't like it, repeal it. although, i'm surpised, you liberals voted for "change" now you have it and you don't like it.
It's Sunday Buzzo. Bless you!
