My 5th grade DD will be going to camp for 3 days and nights in February. Anyone BTDT? She is nervous and excited. In my day we didn't go to camp until 6th grade. There will be 10 kids to a cabin with one counselor. The teachers stay the whole time as well.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience about this to share. Or reassurance for a nervous mom?
My DS first attended overnight summer camp when he was 8 y.o, but he wanted to go so there weren't too many jitters about the whole thing. We explained what he could expect - sleeping in the cabin, communal meals in the dining hall, using the camp bathroom etc. It helped that his friend was also at the same camp, so they thought it was a great adventure together and were pretty excited before they went. This boy had been to camp before and he was familiar with the routines, which was nice for DS. DD was about the same age when she attended an overnight camp, possibly a little older. Again she went with a good friend who had already attended camp, and they were excited about it.
They both had done a lot of sleepovers by the time they went to camp. They liked using sleeping bags, so that wasn't a problem. I made up a little special "camp kit" for them with a camera, a flashlight, some basic first aid (really just fun character band-aids, insect repellant and sunscreen), a book, some cat's cradle string and a deck of cards and a few other fun little sundries. For familiarity and comfort, they took their own pillows and in DD's case, a favourite stuffed animal. We limited the snacks, but some kids probably packed more candy and chips than socks and underwear.
Practically speaking, I'd make sure she's familiar and comfortable with using a sleeping bag. If she hasn't done any sleepovers, I'd have a couple of trial runs so that this isn't her first overnight without you.
I'd find out how the students are sorted into the cabins. Can she pick her cabinmates or do the teachers decide? If there are any bullying or social exclusion issues at school, I'd want to deal with them now so that they aren't festering when the kids go away. Last year, DD was on a 5 day-4 night trip out of town with her class and she knew that there would be "issues" with one of the girls in her hotel room. There were 4 girls to a room. One of the girls is a drama queen, for want of a better term (and a psychological diagnosis that I am sure could apply). The drama started early, long before the trip (would she be in their room or another, who were her BFFs, did she get fair treatment from everyone.....) We talked a lot about managing around this girl, how to deal with the drama etc., but it was an ongoing conversation we'd been having for the entire school year.
I'd find out the camp policy on calling home so that you are both clear on the rules ahead of time. That way there are no surprises if she decides she wants to call you but is denied because campers aren't allowed to use the phone (or their own cell phones).
Cell phones, handheld electronics (Nintendo DS etc.), are often banned on these trips, so if your DD is a heavy user, I'd also deal with that up front quickly.
How do the other kids feel about it? Usually there's excitement up front, but a lot of kids are feeling a little nervous too. You can talk to her about the difference between excited anticipation and anxious worrying about a new situation. Both feelings are normal, and can exist at the same time. She wants excited anticipation to win out over anxious worrying! Ask her what she thinks will make her comfortable and happy on the trip - she may have her own ideas. If she doesn't already have one, a little digital camera is a great idea so she can record the trip and may help focus on the excited anticipation rather than the worrying.
Hope she has a terrific time!
Thanks. They did cover a lot of that at the parent meeting. No snacks. No calls home. No electronics, etc. Parents can call and talk to a teacher just to ask how the kid is doing but they really didn't encourage that. Each kid gets to list three kids they want to be in the same cabin with and the teachers will assign cabins and guarantee that they will be with at least one of those kids. So that's good.
What do you think about me leaving some notes in her bag, in her clothes, etc.? I'm wondering if she's home sick whether that might make her feel better or worse?
Leaving notes sounds like a lovely idea. I think most kids would like it, but you know her best about whether it might be upsetting. Perhaps little jokes or comics would work nicely.
My DD went in fall of 6th grade. I was kind of nervous because she is a really picky eater and at camp, you just get what you get. I don't think she ate a whole lot but it was only for 2 nights so she was fine.
I'm sure your DD will be fine too and have fun. I think there were only 2 kids in my DD's class who got homesick at all.
My dd just went. She is in the 5th grade as well. I was worried a little, but my main concern was whether she would be warm enough. I thought about going to the camp during the day, but made up in my mind that this little adventure would be good for her. SHE LOVED IT. Our school district calls it outdoor school and they have so many things for the kids to do and learn. This was the first time my daughter had been away for more than a sleepover w/o me or her dad. It was a great experience for her and although the first night was a little hard she said b/c she missed me, but she had fun and was glad she went.
Thanks everyone. She leaves on Monday!
She got back yesterday and had a GREAT time. She couldn't stop talking about it. She said they were so busy the whole time she never had time to get homesick. And we had a big blizzard while they were there and there were actually 2 snow days here that the kids missed. And they didn't even seem to mind that ;)

City of Belmont
Overseas arrivals
12,979 people who were living in City of Belmont in 2011 were born overseas, and 34% arrived in Australia within 5 years prior to 2011.
The Year of Arrival data records when the overseas born population arrived in Australia. The data shows the degree to which areas are 'ports' for new overseas arrivals and reveals the role of City of Belmont in housing the overseas-born. The number of recent overseas arrivals in an area is often determined by housing affordability, employment opportunities and pre-existing communities located in the area.
City of Belmont's Year of Arrival data, when used with Birthplace, Religion and Language Spoken at Home data, is a good indicator of the likely need for services in migrant communities.
Derived from the Census question:
'In what year did the person first arrive in Australia to live here for one year or more?'
Overseas born population
Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, Census of Population and Housing (opens a new window) 2006 and 2011. Compiled and presented by .id (opens a new window), the population experts.
(Enumerated data)
Compiled and presented in profile.id by .id, the population experts.
Dominant groups
Analysis of the year of arrival for the overseas born population of City of Belmont in 2011 compared to EMRC area shows that there was a smaller proportion of people who arrived before 2001, and a larger proportion of recent overseas arrivals (those who arrived between 2006 and 2011).
Overall, 50.4% of the overseas born population arrived before 2001, and 34.4% arrived during or after 2006, compared with 63.3% and 21.8% respectively for EMRC area.
The major differences in year of arrival data in the population between City of Belmont and EMRC area are:
- A larger percentage of arrivals between 2006 and 9 Aug 2011 (34.4% compared to 21.8%)
- A smaller percentage of arrivals between 1981 and 1990 (11.6% compared to 16.0%)
- A smaller percentage of arrivals between 1961 and 1970 (11.0% compared to 14.3%)
- A smaller percentage of arrivals between 1971 and 1980 (9.5% compared to 11.9%)

Kuala Lumpur (The Star/ANN) - The Malaysian Association of Foreign Maid Agencies (Papa) has suggested that the government extend the "warranty" period for foreign maids from three to six months.
Its vice-president Foo Yong Hooi, however, said the matter could only be implemented if the agencies and supplier agreed to the proposal.
Under currrent rules, an employer is eligible for a replacement if a maid runs away within three months.
Foo was commenting on the latest case of a foreign maid who had run away just after three months.
This caused the employer, Dr Ong Beng Tuck to lose both 9,200 ringgit (US$2,911) in hiring fees and advance salary and his 750 ringgit bond.
Since his Filipino maid ran away after the three-month warranty period had expired, he would not get a replacement maid.
Dr Ong brought his case to the attention of Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) Public Services and Complaints Department yesterday.
Department head Michael Chong said many illegal domestic helper agencies would wait until the three months are up before persuading foreign maids to run away.
He said the same maid would then be sent to another family.
"As at June, we have already received nine cases of maids running away.
"I believe they ran away due to several reasons, including being influenced by their partner while some were badly treated by employers," he said.
Relating his experience, Dr Ong said his maid ran off during a shopping trip to a mall on Sunday.
"She told us she needed to go to the toilet but never returned.
"We were worried and waited for several hours but could not find her anywhere inside the mall.
"She also did not answer our calls," he said adding that a police report was lodged on the same day.
Dr Ong said he received an SMS the next day from the maid apologising and thanking him for taking care of her during her short stay.
"When we checked the CCTV recordings in our house, we found out that she had earlier stolen her passport which was kept inside a cupboard," he said.
He described his family's relationship with the Filipina domestic helper as "very close".
"We were even planning to take her for a family vacation to Singapore next month," he said.
(1 ringgit = $0.32)

HCC Bluebonnet Center featured on Fox 26 News for welding program
By HCC Southwest Public Relations
Aug 28, 2014
The Houston Community College Bluebonnet Center was featured on Fox 26 News in three morning segments on Thursday highlighting its welding and technology certificate program. Click the Fox 26 News link to view the feature in its entirety.
Welding and technology classes are nothing new to Houston Community College. The Continuing Education Construction Trades program has been teaching the craft for three years, and welding is now its largest class. That's why the HCC Southwest Bluebonnet Center, located at 4014 Bluebonnet Drive in Stafford, is expanding with state-of-the-art technology and equipment.
"Right now, there's a need for more than 3,000 welders in the Gulf Coast Region," HCC Director of Construction Trades program in Continuing Education Tom Tynan said. "That number will eventually jump to 7,000."
The fast-paced program is one semester of comprehensive, hands-on training in this specialized field. Certified instructors will teach all types of welding, including: Shielded Metal Arc, Flux-cored Arc, Gas Metal Arc and Gas Tungsten Arc. This will prepare future welding technicians for immediate employment in oil and gas, shipbuilding, construction and even in the automotive industries.
Classes start Monday, September 8. Bilingual courses are offered in Spanish for welding, HVAC and residential wiring. Enrollees do not need a high school diploma or a GED.

In a recent op-ed for the Wall Street Journal, SEC chairman Mary Schapiro recommended that U.S. money market mutual funds adopt floating net asset value prices. Canadians should join Ms. Schapiro in the fight.
Ms. Schapiro views the constant unit price of money market funds as misleading, quoting another WSJ article describing them as "an accounting fiction" that leads investors to think the funds are less risky than they really are. The proposed changes are being fought hard by mutual fund companies, notably Fidelity, who fear that investors will abandon money market funds and move their assets into safer but less lucrative options such as savings accounts or bank deposit notes.Report Typo/Error

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Ravina Festival Pavilion
Highland Park, IL

TR: These are the good years for Barb and me. I decided to stop mowing our lawn, which made the neighbors a little testy, especially since one of them has his house up for sale. I told them we were letting our lawn revert to its natural prairie state, as a conservation measure, and also to cut back on the use of fossil fuel, and if they had any conscience, they would do the same. And now we don't have to go to the block party next week and bring a casserole dish. Works fine for us. And then one day I came downstairs and found Barb, surfing through a web site about funerals ----- Barb, what are you doing?
SS: Jim, it's time we started planning our funerals. Here---- you can fill out this form and tell what you want, what music, what sort of memorial------
TR: Why? I'll be dead. It won't matter to me.
SS: Jim, it's about the kids.
TR: No it's not. It's about us. We're the dead ones.
SS: I want my funeral to be happy. Like a party. Have you walk in with my iPod playing all my favorite songs, have people dance, they can form a conga line and put me in the ground and go back to the house and have sliders.
TR: Barb. I'm not going to be walking ahead of the casket playing Jennifer Warnes songs. I'm going to be prostrate with grief, wearing dark glasses, inconsolable.
SS: Oh, pffffff. You will not. You'll probably have a date lined up for that evening. Anyway. What sort of funeral do you want, Jim?
TR: I want to be cremated and the ashes put into a green garbage bag and hauled to the dump. No memorial service, no music, no sermon, nothing. When you're dead, you're dead.
SS: Well, I'm going to put on a big funeral and I'm going to sing "Candle in the Wind".
TR: You?
SS: Yes.
TR: You are not.
SS: I am. And I'm going to invite Diane to speak. Your first wife, Diane.
TR: Over my dead body!
SS: Exactly.
TR: Well, I'm going to eat lots of fiber and take a brisk walk every day ----- so you'll die first and I'll have you cremated and put you in a garbage bag.
SS: Then I'm going to become a vegan and join a health club, so I can give you a big happy festive memorial with Diane talking about how you were always there for her especially after the divorce.
TR: Barb, I think you're not getting enough ketchup. Ketchup contains natural mellowing agents that help you accept that we should respect each other's wishes. No funeral for me.
SS: What about me?
TR: Can I invite Sam?
SS: No.
TR: No?
SS: Absolutely not.
These are the good times
Summer's in my soul
Nature is blossoming
Out of our control
Ketchup is flowing
On your casserole.
GK: Ketchup, for the good times.
SS: Just don't put it on your hot dog.
TR: That's mustard country.
RD: Ketchup, ketchup.

I'm about 98% sure the flywheels are different from the truck to the car.
The 2nd link is already posted.
The Mustang one should have the 157 tooth wheel, and the T18 would be the 164 tooth.
Flip the flywheels over so you're looking at the back of them, check the counterweight block cast into them. If they look roughly the same size (amount of material wise) they'll switch right out. If one looks to be about 2x as much material as the original mustang wheel, you're going to need to search around of another flywheel.
'80 was around the changeover year, but the mustang flywheel should have the 28oz counter balance IIRC from my own flywheel predicament.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: bill
A judge on Tuesday ordered Microsoft to stop selling Microsoft Word products in their current form in the U.S., but legal appeals or technical work-arounds make an actual halt of sales unlikely.
And if these nitwits are making a pun of a Bible verse, how about (bending over and) turning the other cheek (before the mighty MS boot comes their way)?
On the other hand there is Microsoft's past actions regarding them violating software patents and e.g, them letting the end users pay the price for their unwillingness to settle e.g The whole eolas affair where the users and us webmaster were forced into from 2006 till 2008 (after they finally licensed it anyway...)
So count me as neither a fan of the concent of software patents, nor of the way Microsoft behaves in relation to them.

"And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."
Microsoft a few years ago might have dragged this out for decades, but now they will make an offer to drop all appeals and buy the company. An i4i attitude against MSFT might leave the other person blind ;)
Looks like it was issued by USPTO several months after the XML standard was published. WHile on the surface it talks about manipulating architecture and content separately (isn't that what CSS/HTML does), it makes reference to SGML as an example of what it is improving upon.
What the patent app describes appears to be something very different than XML, since it goes into great detail of how the metadata is stored separately from the document stream using pointers (yeah, another patentable idea), etc.
The invention does not use embedded metacoding to differentiate the content of the document, but rather the metacodes of the document are separated from the content and held in distinct storage in a structure called a metacode map, whereas document content is held in a mapped content area...
So who knows? Greedy patent owners trying to overreach their intellectual property, or something MS is doing on the software side of things?

Edit: it's probably the Federal District Court in Marshall TX. Apparently, according to a 2006 NYT article: "patent cases are heard faster in Marshall than in many other courts. And while only a small number of cases make it to trial � roughly 5 percent � patent holders win 78 percent of the time, compared with an average of 59 percent nationwide [..]"

Thanks Mousie.
We have been trying. My dear husband went over there before we (my youngest sister and I) had to go in and managed to do the best he could to take away the shock of it all. He is the finest human being I know and truly humble.
The house belonged to my mother. We are going to let it go back to the bank. It will be mowed down I'm sure. I can't imagine anyone wanting it for anything but the lot itself and location.
I wish I really could jump in that Batmobile sometime. I think it would do us all a world of good.

Yes it would be so much fun if we could jump in that batmobile
and stop and see all our friends.
I use to dream about flying on a magic carpet when I was little.
It was always warm and sunny and I could see the clouds and
stop off and visit my Granny or anyone I wanted to.

Did anyone watch Idol last night? I know it was only the first night but they better come up with some good sob stories to hold my attention this year.
I miss Steven and JLo already.
Randy was always my least favorite judge. Keith Urban seems kind of boring. I never really paid too much attention to Mariah or Nicki before the show but so far Mariah seems like a pain in the ass diva. Nicki seems okay and is able to connect with some of the contestants.

Tribe I'm so glad to see you. I know this is a very difficult time for you and you're lucky to have such a supportive husband. I'm praying for you and your family.
Oh boy I was worried about Noah's written permit test. He took the test with another boy and a girl. I could see into the room and Noah seemed to be struggling and kept erasing his answers,tapping the pencil and just not overall focused ( his ADD med's were starting to wear off). The girl seemed to zip right thru the questions and finished first ( she failed), the other boy finished about 10 minutes before Noah and gave the thumb's up sign to his Dad like the test was easy. Meanwhile Noah is still working on the test and it looked like it wasn't going well. 70 is passing and the other boy got a 70, so by this time I'm thinking oh no. He was confident and Noah seemed flustered. He ended up getting a 85 on the test.
This might mean no more daily trips back and forth waiting in the school parking lot during football season for me next year..........I'm excited!

Meeting people online to date is just dangerous. Why anyone would want to strike up a relationship with someone they never met is beyond me. The more articles I read the more shocked I am. Not long ago a guy went to meet his skinny pretty girlfriend he had been romancing online. She had gave him a fake name she wasn't skinny like her photos, but she thought in her mind that he would except her once he met her. I don't think it worked. Then I read about a woman going to meet her online love and the so called man was really a woman
Useing some mans name. People are putting their selfs in danger by doing that. They could be meeting some nut job that has mental issues or a criminal or a pervert and not know it.

There a show on MTV my daughter was telling me about where people from the internet meet. This guy who was a artist in him 20's has a website and a little girl was sending him pictures of her artwork. The girl's Mom set her up with FB so the little girl could see some of the artist's work, etc, so the Mom, little girl and a older sister who was the guy's age were all FB friends with the artist. The older sister and the guy start a bit of a romance. Meanwhile the guy every once in awhile is sending the little girl books, art supplies, etc.
The artist went to a convention near where these people lived and decided to stop in and meet them.
So he goes to the house. All the facebook pic's were fake. The Mom was behind everything. I forget if the older sister didn't exist or she just didn't know about any of this. There was a little girl but she wasn't a painter and didn't have a FB account. The Mom admitted it was her behind all of this and it was also the Mom painting the pictures.
In the end the guy stayed FB friends with the Mom because he felt sorry for her.

I haven't watched the trial but Nancy Grace is doing recaps of the weeks court proceedings on her Nancy Grace Mysteries show.
She kind of reminds me of Casey A with her different stories ( lies) to LE. I'm wondering why he was even with her that last day and just didn't tell her to go away.
From what I gather she went over with a gun, the two had sex and took pictures of themselves, she then was taking pictures of him in the shower and then something went horribly wrong.
"That's all folks..."

I haven't watched Nancy Grace since we down-graded our cable.
It's been a blessing in disguise. The only time I see her is
in the mornings sometimes going at it with Dan Abrahms.
She's morphed into a real shrew~jmo

Export-oriented sectors IT and pharma, which are seen as major beneficiaries of rupee's steep fall, may continue to lead the Indian equity market, says Jitendra Sriram, managing direction and head of research, HSBC India. Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Sriram says that the Q2 earnings are, however, likely to disappoint. He expects about 6-7 percent growth in Sensex Q2 earnings.
On the imminent event of Fed tapering its bonad buying program, Sriram believes that the monetary stimulus will take place in a gradual manner and a vicious sell-off in markets is unlikely.
"I don't think that in the near-term one could see something vicious happening because from whatever statements have come out so far, it seems to be more a calibrated approach to an unwind. So to that extent, it will be very modular. They will keep on seeing data probably trying to tinker this process of unwind to as smooth a fashion as possible," he highlights.
Also read: Asia business sentiment drops sharply, India optimistic
Below is the edited transcript of Sriram's interview to CNBC-TV18.
Q: What is your sense? How will you approach trade over the next 48 hours ahead of tapering?
A: I would expect the US Fed directionally to go for lower bond purchase. This clearly means that one will see the current account deficit (CAD) extending and India is definitely very vulnerable on that count. In fact, within ASEAN markets, India probably has a lowest Fx cover overall within ASEAN. In case there is any kind of bond buying easing coming through from the Fed then we will see capital flows getting stumped a little bit.
Q: Do you think because of all this volatility, this market will continue to be just a traders market and very difficult for investors to put in money at any given point?
A: I would say that it is a little bit like a barbell in that regard. In a sense, we have one section which has done very well and that is the exporter segment. If one looks at it, over the last five years, most of the exporting stocks whether it is in the pharmaceutical or IT services, they all made incredible amounts of money for investors.
But typically these are not the stocks, which most traders tend to own and have probably not ended up participating in the rally. The second half has been the entire domestic facing sectors, which have probably struggled all through this while because of the fact that India's economy has been decelerating.
To put it in another perspective, whatever the US Fed is doing, it is probably going to lead to a little bit more polarisation in the near-term because one will end up wanting to play DM exposures out of an emerging market. So to that extent, one will probably again end up playing the IT, the healthcare and so on in the near-term.
Q: What are the chances of something vicious happening after the FOMC meet, May 22, June 19 something like that, is a big vicious round of sell off in India possible?
A: I don't think that in the near-term one could see something vicious happening because from whatever statements have come out so far, it seems to be more a calibrated approach to an unwind. So to that extent, it will be very modular. They will keep on seeing data probably trying to tinker this process of unwind to as smooth a fashion as possible. So, to that extent, I would not expect something like a step function correction or a step function upheaval in the market. Those kind of events are highly unlikely.
It will be more gradual in its overall play out. However, India on its own will probably have earning season being a little bit of a disappointment because we are going through a slowdown phase in the economy and to that extent, I think market is still not grasping what could be the extent of slowdown which comes through in terms of corporate earnings.

Chancellor's Update: Communication from President Poshard
TO: Faculty and Staff
President Poshard asked that we deliver the following message to the campus community.
Vaughn Vandegrift, Chancellor
Dear SIU Employees,
The tuition waiver bill (HB 5531 - Arroyo) which would have taken away the employee incentive for tuition waivers for children of employees has been defeated in the House by a vote of 26-Yes and 75-No and 7 voting present. A bill must have 60 votes to pass. In the House Appropriations Committee hearing and in the Senate Appropriations Hearing I voiced strong opposition to this bill as did other university presidents and I am happy to inform you of its defeat.

Jane Austen influenciou, e continua fazendo-o, uma quantidade enorme de escritores dando o incentivo que eles precisavam para começar a escrever. Baseado nisso, 8 escritoras uniram-se para mostrar o quanto amam as obras da inglesa. Nesses 8 contos, entre de época e contemporâneos, vemos reescritas; continuações dos livros ou histórias apenas usando os personagens. O resultado é um livro despretensioso, de leitura leve e muitas vezes engraçada. O campeão parece ainda ser Orgulho & Preconceito, mas também há contos sobre Razão & Sensibilidade (ou Sentimento); A Abadia de Northanger; Persuasão e uma gostosa viagem ao estilo Austenland. E como bônus, o livro ainda traz 2 artigos. Um, fala sobre a moda daquela época e dos personagens da autora e outro, sobre os hábitos alimentares.

OGDEN, Utah – Coming off a seventh-place conference finish in 2011, the NAU volleyball team has been picked to finish eighth out of 11 teams in the newly expanded Big Sky by the conference coaches. Defending conference champion Northern Colorado was picked first and garnered nine of 11 first place votes in the preseason poll.
NAU received 33 points to place ahead of Southern Utah, Weber State, and Montana State. Three of the top-four regular season finishers from last season, Northern Colorado, Portland State, and Eastern Washington, were picked at the top of the conference table with newcomer North Dakota picked fourth and Montana selected fifth. Sacramento State, which finished third last season, was picked sixth in what would be the final qualifying spot for the Big Sky Championship, while Idaho State placed just ahead of Northern Arizona in seventh.
The Lumberjacks are looking to reach the conference tournament for the first time since 2007 and return four starters (plus libero) and eight letter winners from the 2011 squad that finished 15-10 overall and 6-10 in conference play. The team will be led by five seniors to go along with three returning sophomores and four newcomers with Choate's first NAU recruiting class serving as upperclassmen. The squad will play its entire nine-match non-conference slate on the road and open with five of its first six conference matches on the road, playing 14 of its first 15 matches of the year away from Flagstaff.
Prior to opening their season at the UNLV Invitational Aug. 24-25, the Lumberjacks will conduct an open Blue vs Gold scrimmage at 6 p.m. Friday in Rolle Activity Center.
Big Sky Volleyball Coaches Poll
1. Northern Colorado - 99 (9)
2. Portland State - 88 (1)
3. Eastern Washington - 71
4. North Dakota - 70 (1)
5. Montana - 62
6. Sacramento State - 61
7. Idaho State - 48
8. Northern Arizona - 33
9. Southern Utah - 30
10. Weber State - 24

When we bought our current house (@15 yrs ago) I dug out of the trash heap left at the curb a McIntosh MX110 tuner/pre and a really cool & strange Scott tuner.
Can't do cheaper than that!
I still agonize over a customer who, when putting his mother-in-law's house up for sale, threw out an unbelieveable amount of old McIntosh gear, with enough amps to distribute sound throughout her 6500 sq ft home. If only, if only.....

hi Charles i had a OnkyoTX4500...does yours have the Quartz Locked Tuning, this was a first in the industry. My friend still uses the receiver for his patio system. I put alot of hours on that unit and was always happy with the sound
Shef: Can you tell me about the 250T?
Jun 6, 2001 8:15 AM
Found one the other day and it worked great, thing is I knew NOTHING about it and it was $75. Thanks for any info on this one.
Shef: Can you tell me about the 250T?
Jun 7, 2001 2:33 PM
hey charles I bought my 250T for 25 bucks and it was my first vintage piece...they were built in the late sixties, early seventies and were Fishers first entry into solid state after producing tube gear for years. The wattage is in the low to mid twenties. Mine is in great shape and i really love the look of this unit, the sound is ok. Fishers SS stuff was never as good as the tubes. I love the push button radio selector, i think it was the first of its kind on receivers. I have acquired other gear(addicted) in my collection but the Fisher 250T is still in use on my bedroom system, pushing a set of PSB Alphas, with a TT and cassette deck hooked up. Search for the Fisher Doctor on the web for more info
Shef: Can you tell me about the 250T?
Jun 8, 2001 4:34 AM
Thanks alot for the information. Am looking for a tube based fisher. The guy who had the 250-T said it was tube based and I was scheptical. Glad I was. Anyways it had a great tuner on it and sounded great, but guess I will hold out for a 500C or something.

Another NE boy who has found paradise! It's gonna snow tomm'w so you're not missing anything!
The seats are adequate for a long ride. The primary deficiency is a lack of adjustable lumbar support. I use a custom made pillow to compensate for this issue. I have driven up to 7 hrs straight and my back feels fine afterwards. However, I would not characterize the ride as plush. On the flip side, the sport seat bottom is pretty firm and it really transmits
for the road.
A low mileage car, with one female owner, that was well maintained with records is rare. This one could be a keeper. Good luck!

I will have to review the stack of service records when the mechanic is checking it over but I think the ATF was done last winter - which is good.
I will have the suspension looked at - I might have a few years left on the suspension as the car has been driven by a house wife avg. of 8300 yrly. Its also a 1 CA owner.
I see you have the same year in a 530 sport. How do you find the seats on long rides? They felt great to me on the test drives. Hard to predict a long ride. Good news is I only drive 7-9K a year.
Sudbury huh? I grew up in Frankin, MA - all my family is on the Cape now - I still own my home out in Northampton, MA - just been in LA for 4 yrs. now. Did some wrestling tournaments in Sudbury back in High School.
After a nice road bike ride I was clear on the decision - then I got your post which is great reinforcement.
Much appreciated - Colin

I'd like some suggestions for how to change how my 13 month-old nurses. Right now she grazes all day and all night long. In the entire 24 hour day I don't think she ever goes more than 2 hours without nursing. Here are some thoughts on why I'd like to make some changes:
- I feel like she will sleep better at night if she is accustomed to going longer stretches between feedings.
- I would feel better if she were eating more solids in the coming months and I feel like she'll enjoy food more if she isn't constantly full from breast milk.
- I would like to start leaving her for short stretches in the next few months leading up to me taking classes in September, at which point I will need to leave her for 2+ 5 hour stretches/week.
- I am tired of breasfeeding so frequently in the day and night.
- In the off chance that DC has gone a longer stretch between feedings I get the vibe that those nursing sessions are really nice for her. She seems more relaxed and satiated.
I'd love some encouragement, ideas and suggestions for how to do this. I'd also love to hear from anyone in the same boat and/or people who have tried this and how it worked for you. Thanks for sharing!
ETA: I do not see myself as being an CLW parent. I would like very much to work towards night weaning at some point and I am also comfortable with gradual parent led weaning sometime around the second year.
Troll? Here's me...

Good Luck Mama, I'm looking to do the same thing. My 21 mos old is an avid night nurser and I just found out I'm pregnancy w/ number two. I don't want to wean until my 1st is ready but I'm also ready to be done during the night. I'm exhausted w/ this pregnancy and need to sleep before the new baby comes. Just wanted to tell you your not alone.
KendraCalhoun, I love the Mothering Forums, but haven't logged on in about a year. Tired and crabby this afternoon, I thought I'd get on to see if by chance anyone was commenting about their toddlers being avid nursers. I just needed to know somebody else out there might be going through the same thing... (exhaustion!!). I love breastfeeding our 23 month old, but I'm soooooooo tired. She nurses casually during the day, always before naps and bedtime and throughout the night. She rarely goes more than 2 hours between nursings. I've been sick with the flu this week, so it's been torture to be woken up so frequently. We have a family bed (with a twin laying flush next to it for extended comfort) and she and I have been thrashing around all week. Exhausted and frustrated with my Mom REALLY encouraging me to wean our daughter, I just needed a little pick-me-up by hoping there was somebody else on the Mothering Forum who's recently posted a similar situation. I'm not ready to wean her (and baby girl isn't ready either) so I'm not looking for answers, but rather just the comfort of knowing I'm not alone. You've provided that for me today. Thank you KendraCalhoun!
IdentityCrisisMama, my daughter was an all-day grazer until she was 18 months. Then, food got more interesting to her which gave me a break during the day. I'm still nursing her throughout the day, but we go longer stretches (unless it's nighttime). Before her first birthday, my husband introduced me to Dr. Jay Gordon (who was recently on the Anderson Cooper show with Mayim Bialik), who's a Pediatrician, lactation consultant and is on the board for the LLL. My husband, who's a Registered Dietitian specializing in infant nutrition and lactation consultant himself found that Dr. Gordon's teachings and advice were quite awesome. Dr. Gordon shares a gentle method of weaning a breastfeeding child, but he's very specific about not weaning until at least 1 year of age. Dr. Gordon promotes child-led weaning, but knows that the relationship between each mother and baby are different and therefore, he respects and kindly supports those who choose to wean but also supports and praises those who choose to nurse past infancy and into toddler-hood. I'd like to again state that Dr. Gordon does NOT recommend using his tools to wean a child before the age of 1 year.
Here's his website: drjaygordon.com
Desperate for sleep, my husband and I tried his method of night weaning last year after my daughter turned one. I ended up feeling more mentally unstable after hearing my daughter cry with my husband in bed all while I tried to sleep on the air mattress in our living room. Being that we don't support letting our daughter "cry it out", it was torture hearing her screaming for my comfort. I gave in, and ended up back in the bedroom within 10 minutes on that first night of attempting. Call me a pushover, or whatever, but I realized in that instant that although I was mentally and physically exhausted from having a baby attached to my breast for a full year, I was even more so hurting from hearing my baby cry. My husband and I believe in Dr. Gordon's teachings but we weren't ready, and neither was our daughter. Every morning I wake up tired, I ask myself if I'm ready to try again. Things have gotten easier, but I'm still not ready. That's not to say there haven't been many other success stories using his teachings.
If you decide to research his recommendations and find success, I'd love to hear from you. In the meantime, be super proud of yourself for nursing a 13 month old grazer. I KNOW it's not easy. I've been there, and kind of STILL am there, probably just not as intense as what you're experiencing. Stay strong and keep loving friends and family who support you within reach. Sometimes, a few hours away from babe at a movie or dinner allows yourself to reset and be refreshed for the next 24 hour grazing. Ha!
Cheers to both you girls... you made my day knowing there are others experiencing the same joys, frustration, sleeplessness, love and rewards of breastfeeding our babes.
Thanks to both of you!! I find myself so jealous of those parents who nurse like we do, sleep like we do and all of that and end up with such reasonable nurslings - both of my kids were such freaks for the breast every minute! I do like Dr. Gordon - and even read his article a while back. I think DC was too young to try his method but I like that, unlike Dr. Sears, it's a least something outside of the completely obvious. Grr...
One thing that I don't really get about his night weaing article is that he talks about "putting the baby down". Well, I don't know any co-sleeping mothers that pick their nursling up during the night...and I certainly don't. Also, my baby eats while mostly sleeping so the notion of putting her down awake (even if I could put her down) doesn't really work for us. I'd love to hear some thoughts on this because otherwise I like that there's some system we could try if we really lost our minds. ;-)
What I've decided to do STOP trying to space out nursing during the day. I did like the break no matter when it came but I'm thinking that the goal is to eventually night wean so stretching out nursing during the day is kind of counter to that. Right? So, when I may have pulled DC off the breast after her 4th nursing session in an hour during the day, I'm letting her stay on in the hopes that she will get most of her food and breast comfort in the daylight hours. I'm going to do this for a while.
I'm also going to continue to nurse during the night because, like both of you, I can't really deal with the night crying. But, I am going to try to pop her off the breast as often as I can and encourage those little moments where she will take gentle rub back to sleep over the breast. I may ask DH to leave our bed for a while and even get some ear plugs in the hopes that DC will learn to sleep a bit better at night.
Thanks for the commiseration!!!
Troll? Here's me...

I find that if you have distractions going on during the day my kids didn't nurse as often. So if you can plan a couple busy days your child might get used to not nursing as much on those days and not nurse as much when your back home and life is slower. That worked my my 13 month old who grazed all day!!
SAHM to 6
With both my kids the only thing that worked long-term was setting limits and saying no. Gentle weaning did not really wean my children at all. I like nursing on a schedule because you can then plan to be somewhere discreet during nursing times and not live in fear of your toddler trying to undress you every 5 minutes in church, for example. :) I think your LO needs to be a little bit older before they can really understand a schedule, though. 25 months old was a good time for DD. I weaned her down to 4 times a day--before and after sleep times--told her what the limits were and she was mostly cooperative. I am weaning DS now at 16 months and I have to admit its a little too soon for both of us--I miss our daytime nursing sessions.. he still feels like a baby... and he didn't really understand in the beginning which times he would be allowed to nurse and which times he wouldn't. In the beginning I wanted to wean him down to 4X a day like I did with DD but he figured out that I would refuse daytime nursing so he didn't ask after nap time either so instead he nurses nap time, before bed time, and a couple of times during the night/morning before getting out of bed. Offering to nurse during awake time just confused and frustrated him and I concluded he is really too young to nurse on a schedule. I have some weekend long classes coming up (every 2nd weekend for 6 months) during which there will not be time to pump. I will be home at night so it is really the day time nursing I want to cut down on so that we will both be more comfortable apart on these weekends. Otherwise I would have waited a few more months before setting limits. If you want to cut back now I would say go slowly, maybe you could try and refuse if he asks to nurse more frequently than every 2 hours but if he gets too upset go ahead and nurse him. After he is comfortable with 2 hours you could try 3 hours.. of course by that point he will probaby be teething or sick and you will be back to square one! ;(

Hello Matt and Dave,
Subject: Electricity Price Increase
Following on from your electricity costs segment this morning I checked my last two quarterly accounts.
My supplier has increased kWh tariffs for our two up household non summer usage by near enough to 23.5% for the period commencing 1/7/2012. This was 'across the board'.
Solar contribution feed in tariff rate increased by near enough to 5.5%.
Service fee went up by enough to 15%.
At least our ten panels offset the bill from $565.76 back to $365.62. Cloudy weather sees performance of these panels drop from around 12 kWh per day to around 6 or 7.
The investment in the panels is saving at least $800 per year, on current feed in tariffs, for an outlay of around $6,000. 7-8 years and they are paid for.

For fans of Unbroken, Left for Dead is the incredible story of a boy inspired by Jaws to help bring closure to the survivors and their families of the World War II sinking of the USS Indianapolis.
Just after midnight on July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine. The ship sank in 14 minutes. More than 1,000 men were thrown into shark-infested waters. Those who survived the fiery sinking—some injured, many without life jackets—struggled to stay afloat in shark-infested waters as they waited for rescue. But the United States Navy did not even know they were missing.
The Navy needed a scapegoat for this disaster. So it court-martialed the captain for "hazarding" his ship. The survivors of the Indianapolis knew that their captain was not to blame. For 50 years they worked to clear his name, even after his untimely death. But the navy would not budge—until an 11-year-old boy named Hunter Scott entered the picture. His history fair project on the Indianapolis soon became a crusade to restore the captain's good name and the honor of the men who served under him.

Phoenix Suns
Phoenix Suns Tickets
Get out your purple and orange, this could be the year for the Phoenix Suns! It's been a tough road rebuilding from a five-year meltdown and postseason drought, but things are looking up thanks to the guidance of general manager Ryan McDonough and new head coach Earl Watson. With last season's injured list looking a lot shorter, along with the return of Jared Dudley, the Suns have a lot going for them and will be looking to prove themselves in the 2015-2016 season. Will the Phoenix Suns crash and burn or rise and shine? See for yourself as you catch all the action at the Talking Stick Resort Arena. Tickets are available now!
Suns Tickets and Schedule
Aww, Man.
We currently don't have any tickets available.
Phoenix Suns News
Heading into last week's three-game road trip, the Phoenix Suns knew they had to be on top of their game. Losing the first contest in Cleveland, Phoenix performed better in New York, beating the Knicks 107-105 Saturday. At the Air Canada Centre in Toronto the next night, Phoenix pulled off an even better upset, besting the Raptors 115-103. Returning to the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Arizona Tuesday, the Suns couldn't hold on against the visiting Timberwolves, dropping 111-112. Up next, Phoenix will be on hosting duty for the next three. This Saturday, Jan. 28, Denver is in town, followed by visits from Memphis on Monday and the Clippers on Wednesday. Tickets for all three gamescan be purchased today!

Just when it seemed like the Phoenix Suns were finally starting to get some momentum going, they couldn't quite seal the deal against LeBron James and the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night. They did give the Cavs a run for their money, however, because the contest ended a close 120-116. The Suns may have been able to secure the victory if they had not given up a ridiculous 41 points in the first quarter. Phoenix has an absurdly difficult schedule in the next week, starting with the Utah Jazz on Monday night. Tickets to that game are on sale and available for prices as low as $6.
Postseason hopes are slipping through the hands of the Phoenix Suns. Tied for last place in the Western Conference, Phoenix has won just nine games three months into the season. Against teams faring better than .500, the Suns have won just one time, and they will play against teams in that group in 14 of the next 17 games. Many argue that Phoenix is simply a young team; can experience help them overcome some of the struggles that are keeping them down? The Suns are scheduled to play at home at the Talking Stick Resort Arena this Thursday, Dec. 29, against the Raptors and Tuesday, Jan. 3, against the Heat. Get tickets now for just $9 and up.
A week ago, the Phoenix Suns were at their lowest point in the season, and it showed in Monday's NBA power rankings. At dead last, Phoenix had nowhere to go but up, which may have given the team a small boost of momentum to win two of the next four. Toppling the Knicks and the Lakers is no small feat for the 8-18 Suns, and although the victories were sandwiched by losses to the Pelicans and the Spurs, it's been their best showing since Week 2. Get tickets from us today for the Phoenix Suns' next home game with the Houston Rockets this Wednesday, Dec. 21! Our prices start at $7.
The Phoenix Suns did it! They managed to secure just their sixth win of the season over the Atlanta Hawks last night. It was an extremely exciting matchup for anyone who was in the audience, as the underdog home team took out the higher-ranked visitors in a tight 109 - 107 contest. The two teams went point for point in the second half, making the Suns' 36-point first quarter the deciding moments of the game. Phoenix will now hit the road to face the mighty Golden State Warriors followed by the Utah Jazz. They return to Talking Stick Resort Arena on Wednesday, December 7 to host the Indiana Pacers. Tickets are $6 and up.
The Phoenix Suns cannot seem to get any steam going. They are now 3 - 6 overall after losing to the formidable Golden State Warriors in what was the start of a length road trip. Phoenix definitely gave Golden State a run for their money, however, scoring 120 to their 133. Unfortunately, the Suns were simply no match for the likes of Steph Curry and company. They will now head to Denver to square off with the Nuggets. The next time you can catch the Suns at home is Friday, November 25, when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves. Tickets to that game are on sale and available for just $13.
The last couple of weeks were not nice to the Phoenix Suns. The Suns have lost their last four games in a row and are struggling to pull out of the losing slump. They did play the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Golden State Warriors, which are two of the best teams in the league. But they also took on the Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings who are just average. On October 31, their game against the LA Clippers was not how the Suns wanted it to go. Everything seemed to be going just fine in the first quarter, but the second quarter seemed to be a whole different ball game. The Clippers outscored the Suns by 12 points, which gave them the pathway to victory.
The Phoenix Suns have been an average NBA team, going up and down for the past decade or so. However, they are sitting in the number two spot in the NBA Pacific standings so far in the preseason. Their last game was against the Dallas Mavericks and was held on Friday, October 14 at the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix. The game went back and forth the entire game, but the Suns were able to hold on to the lead once they grasped it in the second quarter. Chriss and Bledsoe scored 17 points apiece and Dudley added 15 of his own points to the Suns scoreboard. See them live when they take on the Golden State Warriors on October 30.
During the offseason, the Phoenix Suns were trying to lure a top-level agent to their Arizona team, but they weren't able to do so. After it was established that they weren't going to be scoring any huge players, the Suns put more of their focus on drafting well. They made a huge move, trading up in the first round of the draft, which scored them Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender. The hope is that these two players will help shape the Suns way into a quicker rebuilding process. See if they were successful in their decisions when they Suns take the court again starting in October. Get your tickets today.

BMW E46 Alternator DIY (voltage regulator)
Hello everyone,
I saved so much money working on my BMW and all thanks to e46fantatics! Thank you everyone for posting! I feel that I have to give something back to the community. So here is my first diy guide.
I searched this site, google, could not find how to change voltage regulator and brushes on e46. Decided to do it myself.
Initial problem was that alternator would give only ~10.3V if I had my lights and AC on. That drained my new battery. As my car is 2001 (06/2000 production), I decided that it was either brushes or voltage regulator. Ordered Voltage regulator (it comes with brushes) from pelicanparts, it is $53 (compared to $212+shipping on re manufactured Bosch alternator).
There is a good guide how to replace the alternator
so I won't repeat it. When you have your alternator out, there is a plastic back plate. You have to remove one screw (#3 in picture and two nuts (#1 an #2). #1 is under this rubbery plastic cover, use screw driver to pry it out.
- The nut holding down the positive cable is 17mm
- #3 is a Philips screw
- #1 and 2 are 15mm nuts (deep wall socket is most likely needed)
After you remove the cover, you should find ..... this
I found all sort of stuff - leaves, paper, cigarette butts, you name it. The voltage regulator is connected with 3 screws and slides out after, no clips.
My old brushes were worn, but not to the extent that alternator would not work, one was shorter than the other one. Go figure...
The whole process takes about 10-15 minutes (after you have alternator out). It is cheaper that buying refurbished alternator and it is way cheaper than taking to the dealership. If you alternator does not make any noises (ball bearings) changing just the regulator will save you lots of money. I believe it is easier to do this than remove the pulley while switching alternators... After I changed the regulator, with long beams on, AC on it runs 13.6V to my battery, I believe that is within specs of 13.5 -14.5V. Maybe on the lower side, but hey, its not 10.3V like before.
I hope that helps someone.

Hello All,
Spent years wanting to do this and now it's time to pull the trigger. I'm in my initial research stage and planning stage. I'll be back I'm sure with many questions.
So far I'm thinking ESB Fett:
Helmet - I'm thinking I will go though fettpride for the helmet
Armour- Also going to go with fettpride
Jetpack- MoW
If anyone has comments about where to search I would love to hear them. I want my Fett to be 501st or better in quality.
Can't wait!!!

Smaller, lighter, Camaros and Mustangs are on the way, but also, reportedly, a smaller, lighter replacement for the Challenger, the Chrysler/Dodge Barracuda. A final decision on whether it will be marketed as a Dodge or Chrysler is still unkown, but the car itself was reportedly greenlighted in late 2011.
The story goes.....that the current Challenger will carry on without any further investments through 2013/14. Then in the 2014/15 time frame a smaller replacement for the Challenger, based on Fiat's CUSW, (Compact US Wide), architecture, will spawn a family of smaller RWD cars. The CUSW is the architecture used on the new Dodge Dart, BTW. It is reportedly flexible enough to be configured in FWD, AWD and RWD. It's been called CUSW+ for the Barracuda. Expect the usual turbo4/V6 engines......but sources have also said that several new versions of the Hemi 6.4L, V8 engine will be available.
The Pony Car wars are about to get VERY hot!

Reminder: The Seattle Public Library is closed this week for budget cuts
The Seattle Public Library system will be closed Monday, Aug. 29 through Sunday, Sept. 4 due to citywide budget cuts. All libraries will be closed for the Labor Day holiday Monday, Sept. 5. Regular Library operations will resume Tuesday, Sept. 6.
All city departments are implementing cuts to address a $67 million gap in the 2011 city budget. The Library is funded from the city general fund.
The week-long closure will help the Library achieve its $3.7 million budget reduction target for 2011. The closure will save approximately $650,000. The closure will mean salary reductions for nearly 640 employees who will not be paid during that week and who are taking cuts in their cost of living adjustments. In addition, the book budget has been reduced, positions have been eliminated and 2010 cuts to branch hours have continued this year. Fifteen branches are only open 35 hours a week.
Services unavailable:
Most Library services will be unavailable during the one-week closure and will have the following impacts:
No materials will be due and no fines will be charged.
No book drops will be open. The Central Library book drops will close at 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 28 and will reopen at 6 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6.
Book drops at branches that are open on Sundays will close at 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 28. The book drops will reopen at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6.
Book drops at branches that are closed on Sundays will close at 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27. The book drops will reopen at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6.

The online calendar, databases, downloadable books and media, digital special collections, podcasts, SPL Mobile app and blogs will be available, but other online information and features will not be available. No staff members will be working to maintain the site or troubleshoot problems. Please note there may be some disruption of service due to a software upgrade.
No Library computers will be available. Patrons will not be able to reserve a computer for the week the Library system is closed.
No access to Wi-Fi.
No book group kits will be sent, received or returned during the one-week closure. Kits will be sent out after we open on Tuesday, Sept. 6.
No programs or events in Library meeting rooms.
No TeleCirc, the Library's telephone circulation service that provides patrons with information on their Library account.
No Quick Information telephone service.
No Text a Librarian, email a librarian or chat with a librarian.
No mail will be received during the closure. The Library will have the U.S. Post Office hold all mail until the Library reopens. There will not be staff available to accept deliveries.
No Mobile Services.
No parking in Library garages. The Central Library, Capitol Hill Branch, Montlake Branch, Greenwood Branch and Ballard Branch garages will be closed.
The Lake City Neighborhood Service Center and parking garage will remain open. It is co-located with the Lake City Branch, but has a separate entrance. The Ballard Neighborhood Service Center, which is co-located with the Ballard Branch, will stay open as well.
Some electronic services available
Some electronic resources will be available for patrons to access remotely during the closure. Patrons should understand that staff will not be available to help them use these online services. Please note there may be some disruption of service due to a software upgrade. The online services available by going to www.spl.org will include:

Downloadable media. Patrons will have access to more than 92,000 items in the digital collection, including 83,000 e-books and audiobooks, 500,000 song titles and 5,000 downloadable movie titles. There will be links to instructional videos on how to download digital media.
Digital collections. Patrons will have access to special collections that have been digitized: Photos from the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Collection, the Northwest Art Collection and The Seattle Historical Photograph Collection; the Seattle City Directory Collection; and the Century 21 Exposition Digital Collection.
Adult blog Shelf Talk and teen blog Push to Talk.
Library podcasts.
Online payment of fines/fees.
Aug. 29 through Sept. 4 was the week selected for the closure because general Library use at that time is not as high as other times during the year, school is not in session and there are fewer Library programs scheduled.
Library Interim Chief Executive Officer Lin Schnell said she understands how difficult the closure will be for patrons who depend on and need Library services, particularly during this prolonged recession.
"Unfortunately the Library has limited options when dealing with cuts of this magnitude," she said. "Without the closure, we would have had to cut more operating hours or further reduce the book budget." Schnell explained the majority of the Library's $50 million budget pays for direct public service - Library personnel to run the libraries. The remainder of the budget pays for books and materials, and fixed costs, such as telecommunication and Internet services and utilities. "There weren't any easy choices," she said.
Schnell encourages patrons to start planning now for the closure. "For those who aren't familiar with our digital collection, this is a good time to learn how to download books, movies and music, since they will be available during the closure," she said.

My dog is crate-trained. How do I punish my dog for bad behavior in lieu of putting him in his crate?

Well, dogs live in the now. You only have a few second's timeframe to successfully correct them for an act. This is why "time-outs" do not work for dogs when it comes to teaching them *not* to do something.
There are two fields of punishment. Positive punishment, which is adding an element in. Positive punishment is like slapping them or using a prong or electric collar.
Negative punishment is taking an element away. Such as not giving a dog a treat until it obeys your command.
(When it comes to rewarding, positive reinforcement is rewarding a dog for good behavior. Negative reinforcement is simply not punishing because they obeyed.)
Believers in positive reinforcement, like myself, also use negative punishment. We believe that it is possible to PR and NP exclusively, without using negative reinforcement and positive punishment at all.
How you punish him depends on the situation. If you would clarify, I can tell you how I'd correct my dog for the same behavior.
You need to know more about training methods and such, so I recommend that you look up some training books. One I highly recommend is "The Dog Whisperer: A Compassionate, Nonwiolent Approach to Dog Training", by Paul Owens with Norma Eckorate.

After your dog does a behaivor you do not want, you only have a 2-3 second window of opportunity to correct it successfully. If it takes you ANY more time than that your dog will not be able to tie the correction to the behaivor. Time-outs are a waste of time. They do not work!!!
If you catch the dog "in the act" a sharp "NO" or a "BAD DOG" will get your point accross just fine. Consistancy in your rules and corrections along with a solid set of rules is the way to make good dogs and teach them *exceptable* behaivor.
Remember, dogs live in the now and it does no good to correct or "punish after the fact.

First, define "bad behavior," so you can be clear in teaching him.
Here is what we did to stop Katie's bad behavior (nipping, jumping, chewing non-toys, counter-surfing, etc.)
1. Keep a leash on the dog inside during training.
2. When the dog misbehaves, re-direct (give a toy instead of your shoe to chew, or give a command like "sit" as an alternative to excessive barking, then treat for the sit).
3. If re-direction doesn't work, when the bad behavior happens, say "ah-ah" (better than saying "no," because you're less likely to shout).
4. If the "ah-ah" gets his attention, great! Re-direct. If not, and the bad behavior continues, calmly pick up the leash and walk him to a safe, boring place (laundry room, back yard, etc.)
5. After 5 minutes, let the dog back in with you and resume normal play/hanging out.
Dogs love to be with us. They learn quickly that "ah-ah" means isolation, and will stop bad behavior as soon as they hear "ah-ah."
Make sure he gets lots of exercise, too! GL!
