Massive Undertaking
1 Attachment(s)
I haven't posted here in a few months, but I have a massive undertaking that I'm getting started on. I was given a house, completely paid off, as a gift from my mom after my grandfather passed a few years ago. I just got the house about 18 months ago, so here is what needs to be done.
1) I have to repaint the entire interior of the house.
2) I have to re-tile the hallway, kitchen, and bathrooms
3) I want to replace the sinks and 1 tub.
4) I need to re-carpet 3 bedrooms.
5) I need to buy a new stove.
6) I need to install a new dishwasher or pay to have it installed.
7) I need to install a garbage disposal.
The upside is that I already own most of the tools to get the job done. Yesterday I bought enough supplies to APPLY the tile to the floors and enough tile to do the guest bathroom. I've also painted the guest bathroom as well.
I also went ahead and bought the Graco Power Painter Plus ($239). In addition to that I managed to grab a pedestal sink on clearance for $55, which is normally $225 at Lowe's.
My main problem is staying motivated and getting the job done. That's why I'm posting this. I plan to stay more active and motivated. Attached is the general idea of how I'd like our main bathroom to look. Its an older house and the bathroom in the picture looks to be about the size of our bathroom, so I guess we'll see how this turns out.
Any input and advice is greatly appreciated.
Soooooooo ........ you want us to tell you how to get motivated enough to repaint, carpet and tile your house? Do I have this right?
Drink lots of coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats on the new, to you, home. Wanna us to help you stay motivated? Ask the Mods to move this to the Project Showcase section and we'll pester/prod/poke you to work harder, faster & longer over there.
What he said!!
Hi Newbie!
From my past experience; take on one project at a time. Too many projects going on at the same time will only exasperate the situation. Take on the bathroom first and don't be afraid to take on a friend familar with bathroom renovations.
Good Luck and have fun!!
Man I wish I could finish one project before the next takes over or another one interrupts it.
Keep breaking it down to doable pieces. You might look into the concept of SMART goal setting. Core to the reason it works is that you can focus on baby steps rather than getting overwhelmed by IT ALL.
I happen to like project management software to nudge me along on things. It also forces the issue of breaking giant goals down to manageable steps and keeps adjusting the critical path if you don't get things done.
One room at a time is the best advice.
I always suggest starting on the outside first.
Failing roof, rotted siding, old windows, no insulation or not enough cost you money and will cause problums on the inside.
Spend all you money on fofo stuff will come back and kick you in the butt.
When you find out how to get motivated, please let me know!:jester:
I was thinking along the same lines.
What's your wiring and plumbing look like?
Motivation? I'm trying to figure that one out too.
For me I just plug away at it, realizing it will never be 'Done'.
Sure looks better then when we moved in a year ago.
Hahahahaha LOML just mentioned another 1/2 day to day project she'd like done asap
You might want to think about one of these as either girlfriend, spouse or something. They are great motivators but they come with a huge emotional and financial price tag. If you find one seemingly nice on the surface? Ask to look at her teeth and gums. And make sure she is not hiding toe fungus. Women will like you being attentive. When the nicknames start you must run away fast. Relationships fail in direct inverse proportion to nicknames for each other.
Trust me, you never want one that cannot drive a standard transmission. You will spend too much time teaching her to chew gum. One that loves sushi would be a find in my opinion. You must never fall into the trap of commenting about hair or clothing. And just get over it. Whatever happened is your fault.
And get over the inspirational and motivational speeches, like "Could you please stop working on the homes of others long enough to fix our lava lamp and straighten the Velvet Elvis glow in the dark paintings?! I know you sent the plumber and electrician to do the water and electric flow for my cushy toilet seat but you know our lawn ornaments are not going stand upright without your help. I could put the 1500 pink flamingoes back in order but I just had my finger and toenails done?"
Here's how I do it, my 12 step program:

Critical Incident Investigation Team
Critical Incident Investigation Team
As part of the 17th Judicial District, the Broomfield Police Department participates in a multi-agency law enforcement investigative team designated as the 17th Judicial District Critical Incident Investigation Team (CIIT). The CIIT, working under the direction of the District Attorney's Office, will assist any law enforcement agency within the 17th Judicial District in the investigation of an officer-involved shooting or officer-involved critical incident. This eliminates the officer-involved agency from the responsibility to conduct the investigation on its own officer. The primary goals of the CIIT is to promote transparency and objectivity, eliminate biases, and strengthen the public's confidence through an independent fact finding investigative team. The CIIT protocol has been adopted by Chief of Police, Gary C. Creager.

Replacing bulkhead bolted chainplates with deck bolted with a wire strut
4 Attachment(s)
My double chainplates are bolted to the bulkhead and have dry rott. previous owner moved it over a couple inches and raised it with teak boards and bolted thru again(see pic1and 2). I have removed the bulkhead and want to replace the chainplates with double deck bolted ones that connect to a wire strut attached to the hull(see 3 and 4 double with out that other attachment to the chainplate cover). Where can i buy this kind of chainplate?
While most machine shops could make them for you, I wouldn't recommend doing that without consulting a marine architect. Your boat was designed to have its rig in a certain position and moving it may cause serious issues.
I'd point out that the bulkhead in question is clearly structural, and needs to be replaced before you can use the boat.
It would help if you said what kind of boat you had, since there may be a known fix for the boat that other owners have come up with.
I agree with dog. While the chainplate in pics 3 & 4 looks good, the original method used on your boat is probably stronger with a solid bulkhead properly glassed in as it spreads the load over a wider area. Most manufacturers use a method like this because of its strength. Usually they only vary it when the accomodations don't allow it.
As dog said the bulkhead requires proper replacement regardless.
I know i can have someone fabricate them, I'm wondering any companies makes them or if get some that are made for another boat.
Unless the boat is still in production custom is probably the only option. What boat?
Manufacturers seldom use an off the shelf chainplate, most are custom for each model. You might be able to find one similar but probably not exactly what you want. The hole has to be the correct size for the toggle or turnbuckle your rig uses. A hole too large is a problem. What boat do you have? Maybe someone here could help more if we knew.
Well, I am guessing that the bulkhead is structural... it has to be if the chainplates are TIED TO IT. If the bulkhead isn't structural, they would never have tied the chainplates to it. :rolleyes:
Again, it would help if you said what kind of boat you had, since there may be a known fix for the boat that other owners have come up with.
Schaefer makes chainplates but they are all basic stainless chainplates and not what you are after. Here's the link to their chainplate page.
Schaefer Marine Hardware - Product Catalog
Harken is a very innovative company. But chainplates are not really an innovative type of product. They do not make them. Not in my catalog or their online catalog. They are also boat specific so the market would not be worthwhile. The chainplates that come with the boat will last decades if not the life of the boat. Every boat design has different requirements and other than a straight bar type of chainplate which Schaefer has there probably isn't one available to fit your needs. Every rig has different angles and hole sizes and every deck design is different as far as angle is concerned.
Your best bet is to draw exactly what you want, go to a good metal shop specializing in stainless steel and having them custom made. Use 316 and get them electro-polished for the best corrosion resistance. Anyone I know who has either built or restored a boat and needs chainplates, unless they are simple bar stock, gets them custom made as I have in the past.

Hi Everyone,
Just wondering about everyone's thought on the cut-off age to bring your pup out hunting for the first time. Now I know really depends on the dog, but from your own experiences, what is the age you first started taking your dog on a hunt. Mine will be 9 months old and is doing really well in the water at 4 months, so I think he'll be alright for this season. Since this is my first, I'm just looking for some advice.
By the way he is a Boykin Spaniel.

USPS Now Says it Won't Cut Saturday Mail Delivery, Blames Congress
Tiffany Kaiser
April 10, 2013 2:46 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: NBC Universal)
This move would have saved USPS about $2 billion annually
The United States Postal Service (USPS) was hoping to
axe Saturday mail deliveries
in an attempt to save money, but Congress isn't having it.
USPS announced today that the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service met yesterday to talk about the Continuing Resolution for government funding. However, Congress didn't approve the new national delivery schedule.
The new national delivery schedule consisted of package deliveries Monday through Saturday and mail deliveries Monday through Friday starting August 5, 2013.
"Although disappointed with this Congressional action, the Board will follow the law and has directed the Postal Service to delay implementation of its new delivery schedule until legislation is passed that provides the Postal Service with the authority to implement a financially appropriate and responsible delivery schedule," said USPS.
"The Board believes that Congress has left it with no choice but to delay this implementation at this time. The Board also wants to ensure that customers of the Postal Service are not unduly burdened by ongoing uncertainties and are able to adjust their business plans accordingly."
Back in February of this year, USPS announced its plan to cut Saturday mail delivery to only five days per week (eliminating Saturday). It said this would save USPS about $2 billion annually.
For fiscal 2012, USPS saw a net loss of $15.9 billion (three times the loss record one year previous).
USPS has been in a financial decline mainly because of digital mail options, such a electronic letters, bills, etc. This eliminates costs of stamps and shipping charges.
Technology is taking over, and the issue is that USPS can't keep up. In January, it was reported that
USPS wanted to be more digital-friendly
by working on a digital platform called MyPost, which will allow customers to log in and view all packages that they'll be receiving as well as those they've already received instead of searching several different sites that the packages may be coming from.
However, Paul Vogel, president of digital solutions at USPS, revealed that his office is like "a San Jose startup," with only 15 Android/Apple developers, consultants coming and going, one computer and his BlackBerry smartphone. Technological restrictions make upgrading hard to come by.
"If you mod me down, I will become more insightful than you can possibly imagine." -- Slashdot

Fifty years ago, I sat glued to a television screen in January, 1959 watching the bearded heroes of Cuba swing joyously down the streets of liberated Havana and felt pride in the efforts of these young Cuban men and women who had driven out the hated dictator, Batista. Today, the dream of a free Cuba has long since died under the stifling control of the Castro brothers and all they represent of ancient rhetoric about freedom that exists in their minds, but not in the reality of the everyday lives of Cubans. Hundreds of dissident voices are locked in jails and gays and lesbians are persecuted by a regime that ostensibly represented the new world of freedom. Each week, the Dames de Blanco (Ladies in White) march together to St.Rita's church in protest in protest against the imprisonment of their husbands who dared to speak out for freedom in Cuba.
The "Revolution" has brought excellent free medical care to the population and its schools produce excellent graduates in many areas such as medicine. People have sufficient, if boring, food and there are no outward differences between people as exist in capitalist nations. Hopefully, the Obama administration will restore relations with Cuba and open the door for more freedom and a better standard of living. Fortunately, the old anti-Castro crowd in Miami is now old and their children may be more receptive to dialogue.

I need help with starting my essay. These are the organization of my essay. I am not sure what to put for paragraph #2.
*Broad subject-My name
*Limited Topic for thesis statement-Learning to cope with my height
*Main Idea about this topic- Advantages of being tall
Paragraph #2-
Paragraph #3- Social Akwardness of being tall
Paragraph #4- Using my height for a basketball scholarship
What does your name have to do with your height??
What would my broad topic be then? It is about me and I am narrowing it down to the issue I had when I was younger with being so tall. I am not sure what else to write?
If your broad topic is "my name," then I'd expect to read a paper about the meaning and origin of your name.
What do YOU THINK the broad topic is?
Also -- if your main idea involves "advantages," then why are you writing about "social awkwardness" in a supporting paragraph. You can't support a positive with a negative.
Would it be just my height as the broad topic?
Can I write my main idea as advantages and disadvantages of being tall?
Yes -- to both questions!
I am really struggling with the 3 step format for my Thesis Statement
Paragraph #2-
Paragraph #3-Social akwardness of being tall
Paragraph #4-Basketball scholarship=free education
Are 3 and 4 okay or would I need to change 4. I am not sure how to write an advantage for paragraph #2.
Your thesis statement must include factual information (which you already have) plus your position/opinion/stance. Without your position on the topic, it isn't a true thesis statement. So think of this sentence as the angle you want to take on the topic and what you intend to prove by the end of your paper. (If your statement is simply factual, then there's nothing to prove!)
Read carefully and follow ALL directions.
This is one of the very best places I've seen online to help students write good thesis statements. It shows you sentences that aren't thesis statements and how to turn each one into real thesis statements.
spelling ~~> awkwardness
#3 is a disadvantage.
#4 is an advantage.
Paragraph #2-Social awkwardness
Paragraph #3-Basketball Scholarship offers
Paragraph #4-Free Education
I am giving my thesis statement a try:
Social awkwardness, basketball scholarship offers, and free education are the disadvantages and advantages of learning to cope with my height.
My essay is to be an autobiography.
That's a good start, but it's not a thesis statement yet. How do you FEEL about your height? What is your OPINION about it? Don't omit anything from your thesis draft, just add to it, even if you think it read awkwardly. We can smooth it out later, but first get that opinion in there.
Are my 3 step format for each of the paragraphs okay?
Yes, they look good.
When I was younger I was so insecure with being so tall. I hated when people would say "Wow, your tall!" It wasn't until I reached high school that I became comfortable in my own skin.
Those are details that belong in the supporting paragraphs.
Try something like this:
Social awkwardness in junior high made me hate being taller than other students, but in high school, the basketball scholarship offers that led to a free education were the advantages of learning to cope with my height.

Struggling retailer J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP) on Thursday reported earnings that surpassed analysts' expectations. As a result, the stock surged more than 20 percent in after-hours trading. During Friday's trading session the stock rose over 16 percent on volume of 96 million shares — five times more than normal and nearly a third of the total shares outstanding — to close at $9.73 per share.
The results and the positive market reaction have generated a slew of positive remarks on the company. However, despite the improvements in the company's numbers there is still a lot of risk in the stock.
First, if we look at the market reaction, the reason that the stock popped so much was probably panic coming from short sellers, not new buying. Before Friday, more than 30 percent of the outstanding shares of J.C. Penney were sold short, as investors anticipated continued weakness in the company's stock. Short selling is a very risky proposition, because while your upside is limited to 100 percent, if the stock goes to 0, your downside is unlimited because there is no limit to how high a stock can rise.
Therefore, even fundamental short sellers need to approach short selling with a trader's mentality. This means using stop orders and cutting one's losses if the position goes against you. In all likelihood, many of the buyers didn't buy because they were impressed by the company's performance. Rather, they were concerned about the market's reaction to non-catastrophic news.

Please Critique this Iwagumi Scape
2 Attachment(s)
New Scape here on this 20 gal. Long tank. The Substrate ( AquaSoil ) is not finished.
I will most likely add more around the back/ sides etc...
Not sure if I'll keep the Powerhead in there as well. I made a Spraybar across the back to try out. Just want the Pressurized CO2 to flow throughout..
Inline GLA Diffuser.. Eheim Canister, Hydor inline Heater, 150 watt ADA Green Halide Bulb
which will be a min. of a foot off of the Water Column. Will most likely start off with low hrs.
and then gradually ramp up ...
New to the Scaping here so, wouldn't mind some comments here on this scape.
I've been reading about the 1/3rds etc.. Seiryu stones here is all I have to work with. Might have a few more to work with but from what I've heard. Odd Numbers go with ?
New Recent Picts on Iwagumi Scape
2 Attachment(s)
Here is a more Complete Pict. of this..
Nice scape. IMO, the heights of the 2 moutains are a bit too equal. Irregularity is what nature likes the best.
I like it! One thing to keep in mind though - in an iwagumi scape the rocks should look as if they were shaped by the flow of water in the tank. Since you have a powerhead in there, I would re-position those rocks such that the majority of rock is angled with the flow of the powerhead. Switching the two rock outcroppings and angling the large rock that is currently on the left with the flow of the powerhead would achieve that look.
Keep in mind, though, my criticism is really splitting hairs! That's really the only criticism I could come up with and it's perfectly fine to leave it as is since it looks great. Up to you.
I think it looks great. I kinda agree with what ryantube said. Maybe just push the rocks on the right a little father down into the substrate.
Re did this Scape, suggestions please..
1 Attachment(s)
I am trying different things out here and re did it.. Do both sides need to be balanced
out or can there be variation as indicated here ?? I know that the plants are going to obviously change this somewhat depending on the species.. I have a ton of HC that I just pulled up so, most likely, going with that in some areas.. I also am going to use some
"Staurogyne Repens" that I have..
I like the second scape better than the first. Looking great, the outcropping on the right is awesome.
The second rearrangement rocks!! (pardon the pun :P)
looks good. i liked both. should do another and have the twin tanks
I like the 2nd one, btw where did you get that spraybar? Did you make it, if so what did you use?
man, that second scape is much more dynamic, i love it!
second one is good. :)
Jeez, thanks for the kind words here for starters. I'm rackin' my brains out here on this.
SO much to learn !! I wanted to try and achieve some sort of "Peaks" on that 2nd one.
Not sure if I should try "On the Left Side" to duplicate ? I only have these rocks to work with but I might have a good source here locally that has a ton more of them...
I was looking at getting one or 2 LARGE rocks as more of focal points ?
The "SprayBar", Actually, I got an Acrylic Tube at the local Plastics Place here "Tap Plastic"
which they have online as well to order up goodes. I just drilled the holes out and put an end cap on.. Pretty easy actually and I know of others that have tried it. The Cleaning is
a Pain most likely but heck, thought I would experiment .. I think using that GLA Inline
"Reactor" though is going to be pretty benificial overall.. I'll need good CO2 here since I'm going with a 150 watt Metal Halide Ada Green Bulb .....
Sorry to go against the grain but I don't like the second scape anywhere near as much as the first. Having said that I LOVE the RHS of this second scape I think if you can have the LHS of #1 and the RHS of #2 you will have a beautiful layout.
I just think the LHS of this is flat and lacking. It tends to look like a separate layout because the orientation of the rocks is horizontal whereas the RHS is vertical.
Besides that when you plant you will loose so much rock.
I'm scaping a tank at the moment and I was pointed in the larger rock direction and it improved the tank no end. I reckon that you should at least try it. Take plenty of photos of this so you can go back to it if you change your mind.
But I think it's looking good mate.
I agree with farmer, and the rock in the 2nd scape in the far right hand corner looks unnatural. However, the mountain look on the 2nd scape looks amazing and memorable.

A heck of a lot happened in 2012... and perhaps to no surprise, the EO team had a lot to say about it.
We sweated through the hottest 12 months in US history, we vocally criticized corporate giants for labor violations and environmental destruction, and we celebrated those companies that chose the socially responsible path. Chad wore shoes on A Day Without Shoes and Brenna ditched the pink ribbon this fall. We told dress shoes to f#@k off, we grew our own onions (delicious, though a tad stinky in the office), we ate far too much dessert hummus, and we even tried dating to change the world.
Here's a recap of the most talked about stories on EO from 2012!
Which was your favorite?


text: Hi everyone, After the recent Time Warner price increases I decided to do some research and realized I could be getting a better experience at a lower price by getting a Tivo. I'm unfortunately at a bit of a stand still at the moment, however, and have a couple questions for everyone. I haven't seen a definitive answer to this anywhere. When I went to the Time Warner office yesterday I was given a Cisco STA1520 and a Motorola cable card. Is there any issue with this combination? The last person I talked to from TWC on the phone last night didn't seem to think they should work together, even though that was what the office gave me and the other two people I talked to last night didn't say anything about it. If I don't have to drive 25 minutes to the office and get new equipment, I'd rather not do it. At any rate, even with just the cable card plugged in I should be getting something to tune, correct? Acquiring Channels gets stuck at 75% every time and then errors out, so it doesn't look like the cable card is paired correctly. From everything I'm reading, this is most likely on the TWC side. When I go to the conditional access screen I have: Con: Yes, EBCP: Yes, Val: ? 0x0B In the diagnostic screen it says I have an OOB signal lock. During my initial call with TWC last night they created a service ticket, and I have a bad feeling that no one is going to look at it until Monday. I am going to call again this afternoon to check, though. One last question. When I had the TWC whole house DVR setup, there was a Scientific Atlanta signal booster installed. Would that be causing any issues, or is it something I need? I wasn't getting the OOB signal lock while it was plugged in, so I have removed it for now. Thanks for any guidance! Mike

what's your opinion on the best,overall .380 pocket pistol on the market today?
Printable View
what's your opinion on the best,overall .380 pocket pistol on the market today?
The Kahr is quality.
The Ruger is pretty good
Rohrbaugh is excellent.
Seecamp is tiny, painful but reliable.
One of those.
I think you mean Ruger LCP, not LCR.
Only had experience with the LCP but so far it's been pretty good.
+1 for the Ruger LCP (cost efficient, reliable, easy to shoot, easy to conceal)
I have owned and have experience with the Taurus TCP738 and S&W Bodyguard 380 both very good guns and no problems with them. I hope this helps. God Bless :smile:
I love the Ruger lcp. It's the perfect size and is easy on the hand.
The LCP
LCP...have 2 of them, soon to be 3...:smile:
The Rohrbaugh is 9mm & a mint condition Seecamp in .380 is extremely expensive these days.
I just placed a order for a Sig P238.
I've handled and shot almost all of them. I chose a Sig P238.
LCP for the win.

NYC Professor Translates during Mumbai Attacks
New York, NY —When a Brooklyn Rabbi and his wife were taken hostage during the Mumbai terrorist attacks 2 weeks ago, Rabbis with Chabad here in the United States went urgently looking for someone who could speak Urdu, English, Hebrew and Yiddish. The man they found is Pace University Professor P.V. Viswanath and he helped translate the demands of a terrorist in Mumbai to Rabbis in Washington over a conference call. Viswanath is from Mumbai, had stayed at the Chabad House that was under seige and had met Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg. He joined WNYC to tell his story.

Removal Of ASO Traffic Unit Leads To Less Traffic Tickets Being Issued
GAINESVILLE - You may notice a decrease in the number of Alachua County Sheriffs deputies patrol car on the streets and that's because less deputies are on the look out. The Alachua County Sheriff's Office got rid of their Traffic Unit in January of this year, in order to use the 6 deputies in that unit to guard 12 elementary schools in the county after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut; where 20 young children and six school personnel lost their lives.
More than halfway through this year records from the Alachua County Clerk of Courts show the decline in citations. Let's compare some numbers; last year ASO handed out about 16,200 civil traffic citations while this year, they've only given out about 2,800. If the current trend continues ASO will write fewer citations this year than last year. About 11,400 fewer civil citations, 180 fewer DUI's and nearly 750 fewer citations involving other types of crimes.
Art Forgey the spokesperson for the Alachua County Sheriff's Office says that there are other agencies that can enforce traffic laws, lifting some of the weight off their shoulders. "I think that anybody would tell you that our future is on those elementary schools. And i think it's incumbent of us to do everything we can to ensure their safety," Forgey said.
Lori Firm is the grandmother of a 5-year-old kindergartener and while she feels like elementary schools need protection, she also worries about what happens in the streets of her backyard. "Well I kind of have mixed feeling on that. I think our streets should be protected and also our elementary schools... Keeping our school children safe," Firm said.
Forgey says the sheriff's office won't lose a whole lot of money as they make about two dollars for every ticket which goes to their training fund and the rest goes to the county's general fund. The contract between the Alachua County Sheriffs Office and the Alachua County school board was re-signed for the 2013 to 2014 school year meaning the sheriff's office wont get their traffic unit back anytime soon.

Repairing an old garage
I have an old garage behind my house in the back yard that was built in the early 20's. The 2' X 4" studs holding this structure up goes into a concrete slab. Well, over the years, the termites have had a field day, and the studs are eaten up, and the garage is just resting on the slab by its own weight. Also, a lot of the wood framing is badly eaten up as well. This garage is just a wood frame, with tin on the roof and walls. It is being used for just storage, and a work-shop.
Here is my question.....
Since the garage is still standing, can I build a secondary frame on the inside of the walls, mounting these walls into the slab (using PT wood of course) and fastening them to the roof rafters? I understand that I would be loosing a bit of space, but the garage is pretty big, so the lost space would not be an issue. Also, I do not have the time to tear it down, to rebuild, and the tin siding is still solid to the original frame, so in this way, The original frame would be stablized by the new walls, and the roof rafters are still in good shape. Is this do-able? I would not attempt to level the garage, just to stablize it. I have my hands full with my house, so I am not able to put a lot of time into it, but was thinking of doing a little bit at a time, and in this way, at least it might stay standing for a number of years yet.
Please excuse my ignorance, but if I never asked, I'd never know. BTW, Due to being house rich, and money poor, hiring someone to do this is out of the question.
Any comments of jokes are more than welcome.:laughing:
Thank you!
Any comments?

So i just opened my Flash and started coding .. i had some panels to code that were similar in as.. Anyway..i open a panel, deleted all code from it, start doing some as from scratch..and after one hour i realize that i was editing the wrong panel. So in this way i lost about 500 lines of code and 10hrs of hard work
In this moment, i feel like i want to take my laptop and break it in small pieces
Anyway..just posting
Later edit..:does anyone else had similar experiences? What do you guys do to keep your work "safe" at all time?
I use a Time Machine that backs up every minuet. Never can fail like that
I have no chance for such things as I can't code more than 3-4 minutes without publishing, seeing actual results.
But sometimes mistakenly hitting the "Script Assit" button and lose precious undos (on trial and error situations) would result frustration.
Sometimes foolishly trying to hit the save button on File menu (instead of using shortcut as the mosue was very neer to that menu :?) and mistakenly hitting the save and compact would result losing all the undos
I don't code, but illustrating in Flash and being on a roll without saving is pretty bad and has happened to me 3 or 4 times. I once lost 4 hrs of work thinking I did save and yeah.
I really wish Flash had an autosave feature, but what can you do.
Never can fail like that
And what if that fails… the closest thing to fail proof is backing up very regularly to a server on the other side of the world
I personally hit CTRL S every 2 minutes now on complete autopilot so even when I do make an infinite loop , I dont lose too much
same here… i'm on the auto-pilot
Also… right before doing major changes on a working file i do a copy :
Ctrl+O for Open, richtClick on the file + short drag > release > select Copy Here. .. this way i keep track on all major changes on a file..
why i use this method? because this way i can back-up multiple files at once..
Hi ! I use Ctrl + S every 2 or 3 minutes but sometimes with the usual I push by mistake on Ctrl + Q (the keys are side by side on my AZERTY Keyboard). In this case, I cry, cry, cry…
Oh, 500 lines of code?
That's like a whole file!

AMW's premier show had a street racer on the list. This idiot in a Vette (nothing against Vettes) killed a jazz club owner in Detroit and will be caught. This year alone there have been four deaths directly attributed to street racing.
The only reason I'm bringing this up is to let you know that street racing is coming into the public view kind of like child abductions and West Nile virus. Maybe the problem is being over-hyped, maybe not, but the point is that those caught won't be given just a warning. And cops are looking especialy for that type of behavior. So it's up to you. I'm not going to preach about safety and what-not cause you've already heard it. But maybe it's just a better idea to do it at the track, because if you hurt someone WHILE street racing, nobody is going to cut you any slack.

Bubble Shooter 2
Bubble Shooter
About the game:
The basic trick is to match three or more bubbles and shoot them to make them disappear. However, the higher you go, the more difficult the levels become.
With the growing popularity of bubble shooter games, they underwent a change and inventors came up with even more interesting games. One of the bubble shooter games that have managed to remain people's all time favorite game is the Mayan bubble game. There is no denying the fact that you will end up getting addicted to this game once you start playing. The game is played in the same manner in which you played the normal bubble shooter games. However, with Mayan Bubbles, you will be interfaced with beautiful graphics, background music and some more challenges. That's true! You will be required to clear the initial simple levels before you can unlock the challenges. Clearing the latter levels will really make the most of your brains and you will be left with praises in the end. It is also believed to increase the efficiency of your heads as your thinking ability is used to the maximum. Hence, it won't be called wasting but investing of your time on this game.
This game is easily available online. Given the fact that it has been successful in gaining a huge fan following, these games have now come out of your computers. Until quite some time, Mayan Bubble Shooter games were available only for your desktops. But now these are also made available on iPads, iPhones and many other tablets and smartphones. Overall, it is a great game as well as interesting to play. It will not be possible to describe all the fun here. You better play and check it out yourself!
If you fancy playing a wider range of games instead of just bubble shooter we recommend you head over and try Free-Games.net or Playberry.com! Some other sites we recommend are: Game Cookie , HackedGames.pw, Friv Games, Y8 and others

No Win No Fee Lawyers Brisbane
If you don't have the money to pay for an lawyer, don't give up. It is possible to find quality no win no fee lawyers in Brisbane to work with. Ask around or do research online to find some options. If all else fails, contact the courthouse in your area and see what they recommend. Most lawyers will accept at least a couple of no win no fee cases per year. They cost the consumer nothing, while still offering professional, legal services. Just keep in mind that opportunities for no win no fee cases are limited and usually reserved for the most needy individuals or cases the lawyer believes can be easily won.
Also check with your state's bar association to find out if they have a program for helping low income people. Most bar associations have lawyers who have agreed to provide "no win no fee" assistance when needed. Many different lawyers will take on clients free of charge for cases having to do with discrimination, domestic violence and other areas of injustice.
Legal aid can help with a tight budget. Legal aid offices can put you in touch with lawyers willing to offer their services "no win no fee." These particular Brisbane lawyers like volunteering some of their spare time. Look for the legal aid office in the white pages of your phone book. Online information can be found at the Legal Aid website legalaid.qld.gov.au.
Finding a lawyer in Brisbane is easy. Finding a good lawyer is an entirely different story. With so many lawyers out there who are just interested in your money, it can be difficult to find a reputable one who has your best interest at heart. Avoid the proverbial kangaroo court scenario, it may feel a little like Captain Cook confronting the natives in the South Pacific sometimes but don't despair pick up the phone and talk to someone.

Derek Dooley Says Gator Corners "Will Be Physical"
Published September 13th, 2012
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE- For the second straight year, the featured matchup in the Florida-Tennessee football game (Saturday, 6 p.m.) appears to be the Tennessee offense against the Florida defense.
For the second straight year, Volunteers quarterback Tyler Bray comes into the Gators game posting big numbers in his first two contests, trhowing for 643 yards and 6 touchdowns against NC State and Georgia State, respectively.
But last year, Bray was intercepted twice and held to under 300 yards passing, while the rushing attack was held to -9 yards.
Volunteers head coach Derek Dooley says the game this weekend will be physical, especially with his wide receivers against the Gators defensive backs.

You are correct! I shared an apartment with Paul Ryan in Fort Lee from 1970 to 76 and carried him home many times from Jimmy Byrnes in Queens and many other venues. They were the best and I am happy to have found this thread :-)
#106 Aug 13, 2011
Fitz, whatever happened to Ryan after he split from the Lynch Boys? We all lost touch with him almost immediately.
Some in this group may be interested in the Sea Girt Inn Alumni Group on Facebook.
#107 Aug 13, 2011
Mutt, I found this thread in my search for Ryan. I have not seen him since 1976 and am trying to find him. He bought into a bar in Queens and was still doing music last I heard. This week I plan to contact mutual friends in my search. Will keep you posted here.

My husband & I met at Jimmy Byrnes Sea Girt Inn 41 years ago. We fell in love there, married, have 3 grown children plus grandchildren and are still in love and happily married. I know of other couples who have met there so many years ago and are still going strong. That was the best place for young people to go to have fun, sing, dance, & meet lots of nice people.

My father was a bartender at Thensea girt inn in 1974-76. His mick name was Flip and he and his friends called themselves the filthy five or the five easy pieces. Probably a long shot, but would anyone happen to remember them? It's so much fun hearing all the stories from the good old days!

The Sea Girt Inn was great, but in my opinion, it was a runner up to the Bluffs. Many great times there.

Southern Baptists Defend Church Smeared by NBC
The pastor of one of the nation's most prominent Southern Baptist churches is calling on NBC to retract a column that labeled the congregation as being "virulently anti-gay and anti-Semitic."
Rick Chandler, an NBC Sports "Off the Bench" writer, smeared the historic First Baptist Church of Dallas and urged Tim Tebow to cancel an upcoming appearance at the church.
"Tim Tebow to speak at virulently anti-gay, anti-Semitic Dallas megachurch," read the headline on Chandler's column.
"That's the church led by pastor Robert Jeffress, a virulently anti-gay and anti-Semitic evangelical Christian," he wrote. "It seems that lately Tim Tebow has been making more speaking appearances in church than he has quarterback appearances in NFL games."
Jeffress said the accusations levied by Chandler were based on second and third-hand stories that were filled with inaccuracies.
"I would like NBC Sports to acknowledge that they made an error in their reporting and relied on secondary sources instead of doing their own reporting and fact-finding like any credible news organization ought to," Jeffress told Fox News. "
Jeffress denied that his 11,000-member church is anti-gay or anti-Semitic.
"Nothing could be further from the truth," he told Fox News. "We are a very pro-Israel church. To say that Jesus Christ is the only way for a person to be saved is not anti-Semitic."
The New York Daily News also picked up on Tebow's upcoming appearance at the church and also slammed the church.
"Tebow's Hate Date: Tim to Talk at Gay Bash, Anti-Jew pastor's church," the headline screamed.
Sing Oldham, a spokesman for the Southern Baptist Convention, said the NBC story was evidence that "it's open season on those who profess personal faith in Jesus Christ and pattern their lives by biblical morality."
"Evangelical Christians are treated with contempt and targeted for ridicule," Oldham told Fox News. "This should come as no surprise. Jesus said, 'The world will hate you because of My Name.'"
Jeffress said that kind of reporting is why Americans don't trust journalists.
"This is another example of gross inaccuracies supported by the liberal press with no resemblance to truth whatsoever," Jeffress said. "This is a part of not just a liberal agenda – but sloppy journalism."
He said it's clear the news organizations have no understanding of mainstream evangelical Christian beliefs.
"What I have said about homosexuality going against God's standard for human sexuality – and about Christ being the only provision for salvation – these are not radical ideas," he said. "These have been a part of historic Christian faith for 2,000 years."
But Jeffress ultimately believes the media was really looking for another chance to bash Tebow.
"I think the long knives have been out for Tim for some time," he said. "This is another way to try to attack him for his Christian beliefs. Most discerning people realize this was an ambush – not of us so much – but of Tim Tebow and the beliefs we hold dear."
On Sunday the church released the following statement to Fox News:
[box] Recent media reports regarding an appearance by New York Jets' Quarterback Tim Tebow at First Baptist Church of Dallas have grossly misrepresented past comments made by First Baptist's pastor, Dr. Robert Jeffress, specifically related to issues of homosexuality and AIDS as well as Judaism.
While Dr. Jeffress did attend the Voter's Values Summit in 2011, he did so in order to introduce then-presidential candidate, Governor Rick Perry. In an interview following the event, Dr. Jeffress responded to a question about homosexuals within the military during which he referred to a quote by Matt Foreman, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, who at their 2008 national conference said, "70 percent of the people in this country living with HIV being gay or bi (sexual), we cannot deny that HIV is a gay disease."
Dr. Jeffress mentioned this quote in his answer, which he clearly attributed to Foreman. Further, statements about Judaism allegedly attributed to Dr. Jeffress in recent media reporters are patently false.
Dr. Jeffress is committed to preaching the bold biblical truth of God's Word. He has regularly stated the mainstream Evangelical Christian belief that Christ is the only way a person can escape Hell and that God's provision of salvation is necessary for everyone, as found in John 14:6. Dr. Jeffress leads First Baptist under the mandates of Scripture and teaches its members to share God's truth at all costs, even when it requires going against the mainstream, popular view.
We are saddened that this truth can no longer be communicated without being reported as "hate speech."[/box]
Ken Shepherd, managing editor of Newsbusters, defended Pastor Jeffress, while noting Chandler is entitled to his personal opinion of both the minister and Tebow.
"Jeffress is certainly controversial and outspoken on religious and political matters, but to tag him anti-gay or anti-Semite is unfair and unhelpful to the interests of any rational discussion about the religious beliefs that Jeffress holds," he wrote.
Nevertheless, Oldham said the hatred displayed by NBC should serve as an opportunity for Christians to be "counter-culture."
"Rick's obvious disdain for Tim Tebow and First Baptist Church of Dallas gives them, and all Christ-followers, an opportunity to respond with grace and truth," he said.

text: So... I received my mini today. Setup went smoothly on this old 4:3 RCA Proscan SDTV (480i) via the Tivo composite breakout cable. Then I noticed the HD menus were squished and so was ALL HD content I was viewing (though downconverted). I was disappointed to find no Aspect Ratio options in the Video settings menu. I made sure the only resolution I picked was 480i, to no avail. My older Series3 I used to use on this TV had the benefit of being able to view any HD content from my other Tivo's and would properly letterbox any 16:9 content on the 4:3 display. This mini? Not so much. I can find no documentation that says they don't support 4:3 TV's. Not to mention, they advertise and sell the composite breakout cable for 480i. Anyone have a similar experience or know anything about this?

New 08 128i Vert CPO Owner
Hi gang. I'm glad to be back on bimmerfest (I used to own a 2003 325i). Just before New Year's I got an absolutely stupid good deal on an 08 128i Vert CPO and couldn't be happier (details below). I bought it from an Audi dealership who didn't know it was a CPO car and also didn't know it had many of the features and packages that it has (i.e. comfort access, performance and sport package, etc.).
My local BMW dealer has been absolutely awesome. I have 110 miles left on the 4yr/50k warranty so they have my car now and I have a loaner. They are taking care of the following for me: new wiper blades, new battery in key fob, replace gear shift handle (there was some wrinkling of the surface) and new front and rear brakes (the service rep told me that I heard them "squeaking") even though the BC doesn't say I'm ready for brakes for another 7.5k miles!
I'll post up a few pics when I get my car back. Looking forward to learning, being entertained, and contributing here.

Pima County will spend up to $200,000 per property to buy-out or relocate Catalina residents whose homes were damaged by the unprecedented flooding that roared down the Canada del Oro Wash this summer.
The Pima County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Oct. 7 to approve funding for the plan to acquire 75 separate land parcels the Pima County Flood Control District has deemed eligible for purchase.
The buy-outs, to be funded primarily by the county's Flood Prone Land Acquisition Program, are strictly voluntarily and some of the property owners may decide not to sell, said Suzanne Shields, director of the flood control district.
"The parcels are all from people who signed application forms that indicated they wanted us to give them an appraisal and were interested in being purchased," Shields said. "We visited all of the properties and completed the appraisals last week. We're now in the middle of negotiating with people on a one-on-one basis."
The action by the Board of Supervisors served to speed the acquisition process and increase by $100,000 the amount the county's procurement department can spend to purchase individual properties. The purchases will still need to be ratified by the board at a later date.
Residents seeking buy-outs or relocation whose properties are valued at more than $200,000 will have to have their applications for acquisition approved individually by the board, Shields said.
The county has no estimate of how many of the property owners will accept the appraisals and has yet to put a price tag on the overall cost of the purchases.
"It's hard to even estimate how much it's going to cost overall. Some of the properties are more than $100,000, some are less," Shields said of the acquisitions in Catalina.
The flood control district budgets an average of $3 million annually for buy-outs under its flood prone land program and has spent more than $39.3 million to purchase 11,456 acres of land since 1984, according to county records.
Federal, state and county governments each declared that an emergency existed in parts of Catalina and other areas around the CDO after flooding in July, August and early September.
The flooding, spurred by heavy rains and last summer's forest fires that denuded parts of the upper CDO watershed in the Catalina Mountains, destroyed or damaged scores of homes, closed roads, knocked out utilities and contaminated well water.
Several Catalina residents who met with county officials during a volatile public meeting Sept. 11 expressed concern that the county's appraisals would come in far below the market value they expected for their land.
That wariness seems to be waning as residents begin the negotiation process and realize the county's offers may be their only option, said Catalina resident Lori Faith Merritt, whose one acre parcel was flooded. She and her husband Bill Merritt are now considering the county's offer of a buy-out.
"There was lot of suspicion and anger at the Sept. 11 meeting, but I think a lot of people are beginning to realize that if the county doesn't buy their home, it would be almost impossible to find anyone else who will," she said. "I'm thankful that the opportunity is there."
Only 56 people had applied to the county for acquisition at the time of the September meeting. That number rose by 19 more parcels in less than a month, county records show.
Sinclair "Zeke" Browning, who saw 15 inches of black flood water pour through the home she lived in for 20 years, said she felt the county's buyout was moving a little slow.
"It's a lot slower than a lot of us would have liked, but I guess it takes time to move things through. We're now in our seventh week of being homeless and it's certainly taking its toll stress-wise, not just on our family, but on dozens of other people," Browning said.
The negotiations to to finalize acquisition agreements represents some of Pima County's final efforts to assist the flood victims in Catalina.
Several county departments and other agencies worked to aid the neighbors in the wake of the flooding, including the Pima County Sheriff's Department, which increased patrols to discourage looters; and the county's office of emergency management and community services departments, which worked with the Red Cross to find shelter for displaced residents.
"We've pretty much wrapped-up out there, but we're still available if people have questions or need monitoring or testing of their wells. They just have to call us," said Eric Shepp of the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality, which inspected 14 private wells and treated several of them for bacterial contamination caused by the flooding.
Patti Woodcock, a special staff assistant with the Pima County Health Department, said her department helped neighbors with everything from testing swimming pools for contamination to procuring hay for hungry horses after the floodwaters subsided.
"At this point, we're not getting that many calls from Catalina. We're just continuing to do mosquito monitoring and things like that, but I think we're done with much of the flood-related matters," Woodcock said.
Shields said after the acquisition agreements were completed, the flood control district's disaster work would also be coming to an end.
"There's not much else left. We will be contacting the residents to schedule meetings related to the remaining issues such as demolition of damaged homes and cleanup," Shields said.
For Browning, a writer who often drew upon life in Catalina to create a sense of place in her novels, the county's buy-outs also brings a measure of sadness.
"People here have a real sense of community. And it wasn't just a coffee-klatch-neighbor kind of thing. They helped each other out and really pitched in when someone was in need. The fact that I'm having to leave, and a lot of my neighbors are leaving, is the worst part," Browning said.

Abandoned Monorail Finds A New Home In Google's Office [Pics]
Google turns joke into reality, installing old Sydney monorail cars in its office, repurposing them as meeting rooms.
The Sydney monorail was decommissioned in June of this year after 25 years of use. The lack of passengers meant the unpopular transportation mode was destined for the junkyard, except for two rail cars that have now been installed in Google's Syndey office – all thanks to a joke request by a Google employee.
Using the internal ticketing system to contact the Facilities Office (usually used for building operations issues) Paul Cowan submitted a request for the monorail to be bought by Google and installed in its ever-expanding office as a means of lazy employees getting around. It was an obvious joke, but months down the line Cowan received a response from a member of the Facilities team, telling him to come along for a quick road trip to none other than the junkyard where the disbanded monorail had been stored. He and the team then picked out two rail cars to be installed in the office, at an estimated cost of $250,000 AUD.
While Cowan isn't getting the monorail service he requested, he and all the Google employees, are getting two brand new meeting rooms using the hollowed out rmonorail carriages.
Cowan wrote about the whole experience in a Google+ post:
Next time I tell you (as I regularly do) that working at Google is like working at Wonka's Chocolate Factory: remember, I once made a stupid joke about buying a monorail, and MY COMPANY DID IT FOR ME

Weird whining noise
I've noticed it before, but now it just seems to be a little more noticeable. When im in a red light, and the car is on Drive, if i turn the steering wheel just a little, it makes a weird whining noise. It's not loud at all, especially in the cabin, its very hard to notice. Only i notice because i feel it on the steering wheel. One of my mechanic friends told me its air pockets in the power steering pump. I think you guys might know better. What could it be? and how can i get rid of it?
It's either:
1. Low on power steering fluid (which indicates a leak)
2. The power steering pump is going bad
Damn, well I hope that's covered in my warranty.

About a year ago, a teenager was killed by police during a demonstration and his death led to an outbreak of violence in cities throughout the nation. The death of Alexis Grigoriopoulis, was recalled yesterday in many cities as young people respoded to the anniversary by smashing stores, wrecking cars, burning and, most probably, doing a little looting in the process. There is no question that police in Greece resort all too often and too quickly to the baton or the gun. The result is oppression of young people and it embitters students who simply do not believe the police are a force for peace. Another orgy of burning and destruction will not result in improved conditions that end police brutality.
We believe there is need for systematic changes in the manner of police work that leads to less resort to weapons and greater resort to dialogue, peace, and working to avoid destructive conflict. If each year there is an outbreak of violence to remember the death of an innocent young man, nothing is accomplished except more broken heads. The issue resides in changing police, changing their attitudes, and changing the manner in which they confront demonstrations.

Savannah's Taylor nearly goes the distance
Mets righty exits after walking batter with two outs in ninth inning
By Josh Jackson / MiLB.com | August 14, 2014 11:27 PM ET
Right-handed Mets prospect Logan Taylor could trust his stuff on Thursday better than he'd been able to since undergoing Tommy John surgery last July, and the results spoke for themselves.
"Everything was working for me," the 22-year-old said. "It was the best start with my fastball command coming back after Tommy John."
Taylor threw 8 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing four hits and issuing one walk -- to the last batter he faced -- while striking out four in Class A Savannah's 4-0 shutout of visiting Greenville.
The 2011 11th-rounder went 2-0 with a 1.13 ERA over three rehab starts in the Gulf Coast League before joining the Sand Gnats on July 9. The victory made him 1-3 with a 2.82 ERA across six South Atlantic League starts.
"My last start, toward the end, [my fastball command] started clicking," Taylor said. "And coming out there tonight, I had a lot of good pitches in and was able to expand the zone out too."
He worked a 1-2-3 first inning, and after Kevin Mager bunted for a one-out single in the second, Taylor got Franklin Guzman to bounce into an inning-ending double play.
"That felt great," he said. "Me and the catcher [Colton Plaia] knew exactly how we were going to handle it with a guy on base. We went in hard with the two-seam and let the defense pick me up."
The Drive's Tim Roberson lined a double to left field off Taylor with one out in the third and eighth-ranked Red Sox prospect Manuel Margot singled with two outs, but right fielder Victor Cruzado snared a line drive by Jimmy Rider to snuff the budding rally.
"The defense helped me out a ton," Taylor said. "There were a lot of great plays in the outfield."
But the Eastern Oklahoma State product never lost confidence.
"I felt pretty well in control. They put good swings on pitches that shouldn't have been hit," he said. "With the double, it was exactly where I wanted it and exactly what I wanted to throw, but he hit it hard. Then after I got out of that jam, we were never really in any trouble."
He gave up a leadoff single to No. 18 Red Sox prospect Wendell Rijo in the fourth, but then retired 16 in a row. Taylor started the streak by getting Sam Travis to hit into a double play and it ended with a two-out walk to Rider in the ninth.
Taylor then handed the ball to Dawrin Frias, who got Rijo to pop out to end the game.
Having come so close to a complete-game shutout, Taylor was already looking forward to getting the ball again.
"Every start so far, every time there are a few pauses in play, I try to pick up something if I'm not doing well," he said. "Tonight, I was doing well pretty much the whole time. We'll see what the next start brings, but hopefully I can keep doing what I'm doing."
Matt Oberste was 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored for the Sand Gnats.
Drive starting pitcher Ty Buttrey (0-3) allowed two hits and three walks while whiffing six over six scoreless frames.

Join me for an interactive webinar on Tuesday, March 27 at 10am PT/1pm ET on a new Forrester framework for building an online community called "CLICK." CLICK is a new approach tech marketers can use to define the critical elements of a community: context, linkages, identity, conversations, and knowledge assets.
Why are we so passionate about communities here at Forrester? Well, our research has consistently shown that communities/discussion forums/support forums are the most influential social media information source for BT tech buyers. In addition, some B2B companies are achieving outstanding results with their community efforts by lowering support costs and increasing conversion rates. And that is just the beginning. We predict that we will see many more success stories in the future.
Most importantly, tomorrow's webinar provides a rare opportunity for you to provide your comments and feedback on a new framework that is in the final stages of development. You can influence the outcome! Yes...YOU. Hope to "see" you tomorrow.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Misty, a Washington Terrace Domestic Mediumhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Washington Terrace, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair cat from a breeder in Washington Terrace.

Eyes, Nose, and Ears of your German Shepherd | Pay Attention to these Crucial Areas
Next, pay attention to your German Shepherd's eyes. While a healthy dog has a clear, bright glee, a dog who is unhealthy might have some of the following symptoms: a tendency towards squinting, eyes that are cloudy with discolored whites, pupils that don't respond immediately or re unequal in their response, or discharge coming from the eyes. These are all warning signs that something might be wrong. Additionally, check out your German Shepherds ears for redness or crusty tips, which might be a sign of infection (pay special attention if your dog is frequently shaking or tilting his head and scratching his ears; he or she may be trying to tell you that something is wrong.) Also be sensitive to any bad odors coming out of the ears. It must be noted that German Shepherds have tendencies toward allergies and immune system problems that can often be an underlying problem causing the ear infection.
Likewise, a healthy nose is wet and black – but be aware of colored discharge coming out of the nose or a crusted top – these are both warning signs of potential health issues, such as bacterial rhinitis, infected sinuses, kennel cough, and distemper. Additionally, constant sneezing or a running nose can also be a sign of a foreign object within the nasal passage, while polyps and tumors can cause breathing difficulties if found in the nose. Though polyps are not malignant, tumor can be malignant, along with being benign also. In short, be vigilant about your German Shepherd's health at all times.
