Is the name of the Littlestown man Fischback or Fishback? The story spells it both ways.
#3 Mar 12, 2008
I think it should be "Fireback" ;)

As a former addict of a few things, Oxycontin included, I can tell you, addicts are losers until they clean up their lives. I'm not ashamed to say that I was a straight up LOSER piece of s***, and so is anyone else who allows themselves to be sucked into that world. I'm not just some straight and narrow person who's never done anything wrong, judging people. I've been where he is..but this story isn't about me, now is it? ;-)

I agree. Who is the government to keep us from wearing short sleeves?

It's not only homies from the hood who are Oxy junkies. I know a crazy but otherwise rather normal guy who's been scamming his ex-employer for years on a disability claim and has gotten clinically inappropriate Oxys for years from local anesthesiologists. The docs bear part of the blame for prescribing high-dose opioids for long periods when other meds and modes of therapy will work.

To all who think the "scum bag" got what he deserved. I'm not here to say that Nick Smith is innocent, and I am a firm believer in the right to protect your home, but lets let the courts decide who was the guilty party. This article only gives one side of the story and is very biased. I was a friend of Nick Smith from childhood, and although I have not spoken to him in many years I know that he was a good friend and better father. Please lets remember that he was a person, a friend, a son, and a father. Please let's not slander and judge until the facts are clear. Let God judge this man not us. What's done is done but remember that Nick Smith has a family and friends who are most deffinatly innocent, your harsh words are not how they wish to remember him.

See Rizzo! yet another example of drugs gone bad! You didnt post today? Sure would be a shame if it was you that broke into that house.

I've been waiting all day to respond to the negative comments regarding this shooting. Obviously, none of the negative comment posters have been affected by addiction or you would feel totally different about this horrible incident. This is a no win situation for "everyone" involved. Mr Fischback had every right to respond in any way he saw fit. I wish him a speedy recovery. But, lets not forget, Mr Smith also probably has a family. Hopefully, a caring one. If so, whomever was associated to him and loved him, has been thru hell dealing with his addiction. I have two questions: 1 - Why was Mr Fischback even prescribed Oxycontin for back pain when its purpose is for terminal illness and 2- If there was no break in- How did Mr Smith know Mr Fischback had Oxycontin in the house?- Is it possible he'd been there before for that purpose? Whomever has not been affected by Addiction has no right to judge or namecall. If you've never been affected, those affected expect you to not understand that addiction is also an illness just like any other. Yes, it does have different symptoms, mostly leading to a criminal offense, but, it is still an illness. Mr Smith had an illness that resulted in his death. We are very fortunate in this area, not that this is the first Oxycontin related death, because it isn't, but first shooting related to Oxycontin that I'm aware of. My heart goes out to Mr Smith's family and friends- believe me - there are people out here that feel your pain.

Sounds strange to me
#19 Mar 12, 2008
This story is so full of holes, Mr Fischback was not flown by helicopter for bruises and abrasions, how did this Mr Smith know of Mr Fischback's oxycontin and who keeps a gun in "a couch pouch" there's a whole lot more to this story. The fox 10 o'clock news last night said 2 shots had been fired yet the sun claims it's unclear. Is this another case of bad reporting or just the usual Littlestown mentality of if we sugarcoat everything and make it all nice it will go away?
#20 Mar 12, 2008
most people in today's society have loaded guns in serveral rooms ...i do. guy in baltimore, i know, has legally registered machine gun for protection. think about it..the police can't protect everyone ,every minute of the day. thats why criminals want guns banned , then they can do whatever they want.. people hang around pharmacys and follow them home...read about oxycontin , do a search on how people steal, kill , etc for it...
#21 Mar 12, 2008
I feel terrible for Nick's Family. Regardless of the situation how would you feel waking up in the morning to find out your Husband, Father, or son was shot and killed. This message board is just another example of how onesided society is. I was a friend of Nick's for several years, but have since lost contact with him and although my friend for life. I will not make a claim for his innocence until I learn the facts. My deepest sympathy to both familys
#22 Mar 12, 2008
dont ever judge someone when u dont kno the whole story...nick was a good man! nick obviously knew the mr. fishback had them but how? possibly bc he has sold them 2 nick and/or others before. Maybe mr. fishback had demanded money from nick that nick owed him from before n nick might not have had the money so mr. fishback shot him! or it coulda been what mr. fishback said but there was no signs of struggling or breakin in! u dont kno the whole story n u never will so get over it n stop judgin someone u dont kno personally! godbless u all... ;)
#23 Mar 12, 2008
did you know that 90% of opiates sold around the world come from afghanistan
#24 Mar 12, 2008
yes people want the drug, and yes people have loaded guns.... but how would Mr.Smith know that Mr Fischback had the drug, there's more to this story than what's being told, this was not a random act of crime.... there's a link between the 2 parties that's not being mentioned. It would be nice just once to get just the facts in a news story without all of the slant.
on another note I don't know either party personally just for clarification

Sonic is back in black! If you get that AC/DC reference, then you must be a little familiar with the 1990's. Back in the 90s, everyone wanted a mascot for their company: Nintendo with their famous plumber, Ubisoft using good ol' Rayman, Sony with Crash Bandicoot, and Sega with Sonic.
While other mascots faded away, Sonic and Mario remained – and boy, did they fight with all their might. At one point, Sonic was considered as big as Mario and did have the chance of overtaking the overly-obese plumber. However, the series stagnated due to a string of subpar releases (Shadow the Hedgehog, anyone?) before eventually reaching the point where Sonic's public image was something to be ridiculed.
We never hear of brilliant Sonic games any more. Why? Simple: It's because Sega could never master transplanting the series' gameplay to the third dimension. With the PS1, N64, and Sega Saturn, everyone wanted to make the jump to 3D gaming, and the old 2D side-scrollers were now seen as inferior. Finding themselves left with no choice but to go along with the trend, Sega kept experimenting with the third dimension (notably with the sadly cancelled Sonic XTreme), but never seemed to discover a winning formula – and in doing so, left the series floundering.
Sonic became something of a has-been, a character who'd had his 15 minutes of fame in the old times. Mario reigned with all his gluttonous greed, whilst Sonic had to make money through horrendous cartoons and breakfast cereal tie-ins. Well, that time is over. Forget Sonic 2006, and definitely forget the atrocious Sonic Unleashed: there's no more werewolf or love storylines. This is Sonic Generations, and it almost manages to make up for past failings.
For the first time in decades, I applaud Sega for giving Sonic fans the game they wanted. We wanted a contemporary 2D platforming with the retro feel; Sega has delivered that by rebuilding the classic gameplay in a 3D engine, while retaining the side-scrolling gameplay we all know and love. They even revert back to the original character design.
Next to the 2D levels, we also get 3D levels. Featuring the modern Sonic design and gameplay more reminiscent of the recent games, these 3D levels make me chuckle every time one comes up. I'm reminded of all the wrongs with the Sonic franchise. Don't get me wrong: the 3D levels in Generations are fun, but they do show many faults – such as not being able to control Sonic's movement with any degree of accuracy. You just have to blast through as best you can, and that gets annoying; these sections can largely be completed by simply pushing forward on the left analogue stick. That being said, the levels are at least beautiful to look at in motion. Soon, you forget about the shallow gameplay in these sections, because you're too busy appreciating the amazing scenery.
I didn't think they'd be able to pull it off, but the graphics and the set pieces (which you only run past/through) do add to the gameplay, creating an interesting feel to the game as a whole. The 2D levels require far more skill to complete, while the 3D ones become a blast of vivid scenery. This constant alternation benefits the game, keeping it feeling fresh throughout the experience.
However, the problems of the 3D Sonic games are still present, so they can't be excused completely – frustration and annoyance does still occur.
The levels are broken down by eras. There's a few levels inspired by the Genesis era of Sonic – Green Hill and Chemical Plant zones; a few levels from the Sonic Adventure era; we even get some from the utterly wretched Sonic The Hedgehog from 2006. If you've been a fan of the little blue hedgehog throughout his career, you'll appreciate the nostalgia that comes with recognizing a familiar environment, setpiece or piece of music. From the moment you first see Green Hill zone in 3D and the Sonic 2006 levels in 2D, you'll be hooked. Sega has rammed the game to the hilt with fan-service, and by and large, they've done a good job.
Whilst we've already mentioned the graphics, they bear some repeating. They are drop-dead gorgeous. Not only does every world look crisp, vibrant, and beautiful – but it's also varied in art styles throughout every level. San Francisco – taken from Sonic Adventure – has its own charm compared to the classic Green Hill Zone, which contrasts with the almost apocalyptic levels inspired by the 2006 game.
Sega can't match Nintendo's awe-inspiring Super Mario Galaxy in terms of gameplay; but in the graphics department at least, Sonic Generations wins hands down.
The musical score is another neat touch, featuring remixes of old Sonic tunes alongside a few new additions. It's fun playing through the Genesis-era levels and listening to the classic tunes, before switching to the J-pop songs found in the later levels. The variety on offer keeps the music feeling fresh, and you'll find yourself humming away long after playing because they've become stuck in your head.
"The Best of Both Worlds" is a phrase I'd use to describe Sonic Generations. It brings back the few 3D levels we all loved in Sonic Unleashed, along with the 2D levels from the classic Sonic games. This game is now a bridge for both generations of Sonic fans – the older fans who remember the classic 2D gameplay of days gone by, and the newer fans who weren't around back then and were instead raised on a diet of the 3D installments.
If there's any serious issue, then it's to be found in the length of the experience. Generations is extremely short, and that can't be excused. 3 hours is unacceptable for any game that launches at full price. The side missions are also absolutely horrendous. Not even in my worst nightmare would I play them again. Generations would have benefited immensely from some more time trial options and a few extra levels, but Sega took the easy route, and built crappy side missions with Sonic's unlovable friends that no one likes.
No one likes the stupid alligator, the freakin' wannabe bee or that purple Barney ninja. The side missions are so mundane that I can't emphasize it enough. Certain missions you have to walk for a distance, then wait for Knuckles to dig up coins, and then walk again. Soon, you'll be asking yourself why you're wasting your life on these sections, and will just skip them altogether – they all ask you to perform tasks that are incredibly boring. Sega may have earned back some of the respect it's lost over the years, but they seemingly just couldn't help themselves. Like the game-design equivalent of Tourette's, they just keep putting in mechanics to their Sonic games which do little more than dilute the experience.
One final point worth mentioning is that while the boss fights against Robotnik/Eggman aren't especially difficult, they can sometimes frustrate due to a wonky camera that likes to pick awkward angles at the worst possible moment. These fights never completely threaten to sour your experience with the game – and like everything else about Generations, they're fairly brief – but it's something worth noting.
If I were to compare Generations to other platformers such as Rayman Origins, I would pick Rayman over Sonic any day. However, there is a unique feel to Sonic, and if someone wants the speed of the old hedgehog, this is a brilliant way of getting it. It's attractive, it sounds good, and it's (largely) fun to play. It's just a shame that it'll be over before you know it.

The particular version of Android on show here is Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, which isn't quite the latest (2.3.4 adds video chat) but the Galaxy S2 suffers little because of this, and an update should come relatively soon. As usual, Samsung couldn't resist giving the interface a bit of a visual tweak.
The most obvious change is that the main desktop/homescreen (the one the home button takes you to) is the left most one (as opposed to the middle one) with six others available off to the right and none to the left. If you swipe as though to access a screen to the left of the homescreen, it just bounces off rather than looping through to the right-most one as you'd expect.
This is downright annoying as it means you can only access one other screen within one swipe of your finger, whereas if you're free to swipe to the left and right you can access two pages within one swipe. It may sound very picky, and indeed if you tap the tiny dots that run along the bottom of the screen you can access all the homescreens in one motion, but it's just such a silly little usability failure. And one can't help but think Samsung has done it simply to make the phone look/feel more like an iPhone, without thinking about the usability.
Another annoyance is the lock screen. Once you've activated the screen with the touch of the central home button or side power button you can unlock the phone by swiping the picture in whatever direction you want. Great! Except because there's no visual indicator to tell you how far you need to swipe, it can take several goes for it to successfully register that you're trying to unlock the screen, otherwise the picture simply snaps back into position.
From here on in, though, this phone is a breeze to navigate, and has a particularly good homescreen manager. Just as with other Android handsets, you can simply drag apps to and from the various homescreens or add folders of apps and widgets to them. However, Samsung has upped the usability by splitting the screen and having the homescreens presented as shrunken versions of themselves in a carousel arrangement at the top, making it easier to see where you want to place things. You can also resize widgets using a simple grab-the-corner-and-drag method. You can't start an app folder by simply dragging one app on top of another though, as on the iPhone and Sony Ericsson's latest Android phones.
This same visual style is also used to let you rearrange the apps in the main menu (App Launcher). While this customisation is welcome, it's rather annoying that you can't simply choose to have all your apps in alphabetical order, as most Android users have become used to. After all, with all those homescreens as well, having to organise the main menu just means you have two things to keep on top of.
Also of debatable benefit is the addition of 'tilt to zoom'. By holding two fingers on screen and tilting the phone back and forth you can zoom in an out of the usual selection of apps such as the picture viewer and web browser. If ever there was a feature to represent the word 'gimmick' in the OED, this could well be it. Thankfully you're under no obligation to use it.

Got one of these bad boys arriving tomorrow. HTC frustrated me with their lack of internal memory, and their recent trend of trying to lock down the OS. If only the innards of this phone were matched with the shell of the Sensation....
A phone with poor call quality gets recommended?
Has someone on Trusted Reviews been on the sherry?
Its looking increasingly likely my 2nd Android will be the HTC - While I know so many people raved about the first Galaxy S when I finally got my hands on it it felt light, cheap and plastic compared to the rock solid and superbly built HTC Desire 1. This review just makes me feel it would engineer much the same response but bigger.
Thankfully new devices are coming thick and fast to the Android camp so by the time I do update I will have a slightly wider choice of phones and one with an excellent call quality ;)
First thing that i have to mention is that in my opinion this review just seems to reeks of apple fanboy talk.
Seriously stop mentioning the iPhone already :S it's a good phone but it's not that good! i think its a good but overpriced phone created by a control freak company.
I can't say much about the call quality so far because i haven't called that much with my S2 but i did already once call outside when it was windy and i had no problem having a conversation.
2 the size being too big is just something personal and if someone doesn't like the size they should get a smaller phone but i dissagree with the size being a con.
3 i agree with the battery cover being thin but i don't consider that as a con, i'd rather have the thin battery cover than the ridiculous glass back cover of the iPhone 4 u seem to love so much.
Premium? yeah right not only is the iPhone heavy it's back cover cracks easily too. You call that premium? No thank you i'll stick with my thin flimsy S2 cover :)
I accidently dropped my S2 yesterday from at least 1 meter high and i was afraid of damage, but all that it caused was a very tiny little scratch u wouldn't see if u don't look carefully enough.
Do this with the iPhone and i wouldn't be surprised if you would get the same result as in the picture in the link below.
I am very happy Android has taken the top spot in the world of OS's and i hope they retain that spot for good.
I have one of these phones and have never encountered issues with call quality. In fact, I've been very impressed with the phone doing a decent job of noise cancellation even in very noisy environments. Perhaps you've been given a dodgy one?
I don't agree that the lack of HDMI port can be considered a slip up when the micro USB port can be used for this purpose if you have the right cable (as you said in the article). That's just good design, not opening the case up with any more holes than absolutely necessary. Some other devices reviewed recently lack this feature all together but that wasn't commented on.
Call qaulity is highly dependent on network coverage. With good signal, I have had great performance in call and only as bad as others when signal was bad.
Ouch, that must have hurt.
Given, after their review of the original Galaxy S they probably had to buy one :)
What i also forgot to mention is that Edward compares this to the iPhone and complains about the call quality of the S2. It could indeed be the network connection or a dodgy S2, but that does not mean it has bad call quality.
I am also surprised that you compare this to the iPhone because if there is any phone that has some serious call quality then it is the iPhone! remember antennagate :)
@Happydude I agree with you i forgot to mention it but indeed a phone shouldn't have more holes than necessary. Besides HDMI is not something most people think of when buying a phone, the average consumer rather thinks of things such as surfing on the web to all sorts of sites like youtube or facebook.
Well, to be fair to TR - The Galaxy S 2 borrows a LOT of elements from the iPhone. I'm certainly not complaining, that's sometimes a very good thing! But it makes total sense to compare the phone to the iPhone.
Not only is the iPhone usually the industry standard - but the GS2 emulates it quite enough to be compared to it without complaint.
Besides, just because you don't think the iPhone is good enough to compare to other phones, doesn't mean other people think the same. In fact, most people compare most phones to the iPhone of their own accord, so why shouldn't TR? They're going to keep the majority happy, and do what makes the most sense, whether you like it or not.
Great review! Let's hope smartphone technology keeps innovating at this rate.
However, I don't know if I just couldn't find it or not, but I don't seem to be able to see anything on Video/Camera performance. There's the obvious usual reference images after the review, but it would be nice to read about it (also, there isn't any indication on video performance.) I've heard the camera is great, but it would be nice to hear it from you guys, too!
Just to comment on the call quality 'issue': No problems at all with my handset (SGS2, obviously), and I live in a part of the country that is not exactly known for its superb network coverage.
And the flimsy back-cover really only is an issue whenever I take it off and bend it around like mad. Now, seriously, how often does anyone do that?
Surely if it can't get the basics right and be a good phone then it should be heavily penalised?
I hope you can clarify if this call quality issue is a dodgy handset or actually a problem as I will never buy a phone that doesn't get the basics right, just like I wouldn't ever buy a motorbike that doesn't work on the road but is amazing on a racetrack.
@Benham I agree that it's a bit annoying everything gets compared to the iPhone non-stop...even though it has a ridiculous glass back and drops calls like an angry girlfriend. -- but I think trustedreviews in general and certainly Edward steer clear of the Apple fan-boy(-ism?) that you would get from say Gizmodo or Engadget.
First review of the phone I've read where the call quality was poor. Endgadget, techradar, mentions differently
@ Jake Still it does not mean that the iPhone is the benchmark of the mobile phone world. At one point it might have been, but it has been surpassed and obliterated by phones like the Atrix, LG's 2x and the S2.
Also what your saying here " Besides, just because you don't think the iPhone is good enough to compare to other phones, doesn't mean other people think the same" is just bull and makes no sense at all because you didn't see me saying that other people think the same now did you!?
And learn to read because i didn't say good enough i only said its good but not that good. As in not that good to be the benchmark of the mobile phone industry anymore.
This is the problem with reading reviews written from a personal perspective. Ed knows that the call quality 'issue' is not going to be a problem for 90% of users, and he knows that the flimsy nature of the rear cover can only be appreciated when it's removed (he even says it explicitly). Ed is looking for factors that differentiate this phone from the competition, and thankfully most phones these days are so good that these factors are barely negatives at all. Unfortunately, merely mentioning them in a negative light lends the impression that they're more serious than they really are.
It's a hard life, trying to communicate with the public. Kenneth Clarke, anyone?
benham, nobody has gone on about the iphone more than you ,are you regretting your purchase already send it back and get an iphone instead.
@TR i gues touch wizz has improved not one mention in the whole thread.
The call quality issues mentioned in the review must have been network related. I've had my SGSII for two weeks now and there is nothing wrong with the call quality at all, it's been perfectly clear and with no negatives. The phone itself is by far the best I've ever owned and is amazingly fast.
@ betelgeus: right and you believe the nonsense your saying to me? i don't know what kind of drugs your on but i love my S2 and i wouldn't use a iPhone even if someone offered it to me for free! If you love the iPhone so much go buy one :)
Android all the way !!!
Well i take the comment i made about Ed back then, it would be nice if they started comparing the S2 to the Sensation for example.
Just to clarify, the call quality issues mentioned were not network related. The earpiece volume was low in a number of test calls which had good signal. It also had a crackling quality at high volume that was most definitely the handset. That this may have been a one off issue is perfectly possible but network issues were not to blame.
Fair enough. I imagine that must have been a dodgy handset then as I've found mine to have no call problems whatsoever and this is the first review I've seen mention anything like that.
I've been doing a lot of obsessive research in to call quality and have found that only O2 and Orange have decent quality for iPhone 4, 3G and 3GS.
I wonder if it's the same for Android phones now, considering that the iPhone4 antenna design is amazing and the signal is a lot better than most Android phones of the past.
Though I see you were using Orange so it might've been a bad handset?
It doesn't support HD Voice, too, which is a shame! Every phone should support it now.
Thanks for commenting, Ed. Fair enough.
While a making calls on a mobile may no longer be its prime function, I fail to see how it can score so well if call quality is an issue. A bit like buying a car and listing all its attributes only to finish off with "well the ride quality was crap".

Safavieh launches 'Dream Rooms' microsite
Features 10 curated lifestyle photos for spring 2014
February 25, 2014,
Consumers can scroll over individual products in each aspirational lifestyle room to bring up screens with complete item details. The site also takes viewers to a shopping cart, and to links that will allow them to save a product for future reference or share it through social media.
"The Dream Rooms program brings to life our total home decorating concept and reinforces the Safavieh brand as a one-stop source for everything consumers need for a more beautiful home," said Arash Yaraghi, Safavieh principal. "We have been working toward this goal for 10 years, and are now capable of supplying complete rooms in multiple lifestyle themes, with a comprehensive assortment of floor coverings, upholstery, accent furniture, decorative accessories - even artwork and chandeliers."
The Safavieh Dream Rooms are to be featured in the company's national advertising campaign during 2014 with a call to action inviting consumers to the microsite to "Shop the Look" and further explore product features and pricing. This spring Safavieh will launch a Dream Room contest on Pinterest, which Yaraghi said is highly compatible with the concept of planning rooms that can be created both instantly and over time.
After researching consumer decorating preferences through actual sales and focus groups, Safavieh fine-tuned the Dream Room designs into 10 themes: Suburban Exotic, Classic Traditional, Maison Chic, Manhattan Townhouse, Chelsea Loft, Georgetown Brownstone, Urban Penthouse, Paris Glamour, Country Manor and Coastal Retreat.
"We have incorporated trends in color and design and juxtaposed them with classic pieces to create an editorial approach in our lifestyle rooms," Yaraghi said. "Trends such as rustic chic and industrial style furniture are evident but not overwhelming, so that rooms are livable and timeless."
The company will continue the program with a fall 2014 series of Safavieh Dream Rooms.

Daniel Murphy: My Roller Coaster of EmotionsApril 28, 2011
7 Responses to Daniel Murphy: My Roller Coaster of Emotions
SAY IT!! #imwith28 http://goo.gl/5VFEG
Did you see him last night back up to field a ground ball and then from about 10 feet away try to flip it to 2b? Cost the team a double play right there.
And Reyes did damn near the same thing about a week ago.
Interesting points but I will agree to disagree with you on Daniel Murphy's defensive abilities. He was thrown out into left field (when he was a third baseman in the minor leagues) and I really don't count that as a possible place for him to play. Not everyone is made for the outfield and Murphy certainly is not an outfielder.
As for him playing second base, I believe that he has the ability to play the infield and will continue to develop as the season goes along. The throw to second base from Bay was not sharp and even if Murphy was at the base, I'm not sure the throw beats the runner, allowing Murphy to tag the runner for the out.
I really feel that this is a rebuilding situation and so the Mets have to allow for players (Murphy in this instance) to learn on the job.
Give him time and I think he will develop his glove and fielding skills at 2B and be a force in the field and at the plate.
I hope you're right because I do like his bat, but right now it's a little painful to watch him in the field at times. Did you see him last night back up to field a ground ball and then from about 10 feet away try to flip it to 2b? Cost the team a double play right there.
Yes I know he's a work in progress (as Keith H says so often on SNY..lol) but because of Minaya signing Castillo a few years ago (we were stuck with him at 2b) and Manual being the mediocre manager that he is, I guess we're now reaping the 'rewards' of the Minaya/Manual/Randolph years…..He's going to make mistakes but I think the good outweighs the bad.
He made a nice play defensively tonight. That was good to see.

When will my siberian husky deliver her puppies?
We think our Siberian Husky is pregnant and shes not due to have them for about another two weeks but she started leaking clear fluid yesterday. Is she going to have them within a couple days or will she be okay for a couple weeks?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
What does your vet say? i assume you have taken her in for prenatal care? Oh wait, you say you only "think" she is pregnant. I also hope you have put aside money for a possible c-section, or the myriad of problems that can arise during whelping?
I hope this was an accidental pregnancy, as at 9 months your beautiful girl is still a puppy herself & should not have been bred until she was 2..with all the requisite health testing.
Sounds like you do not know much about breeding, so PLEASE take this gal to the vets ASAP to have her checked out & ask your vet, not on-line strangers all your questions.
Good luck & I hope all goes well.

I agree with Wiley, please take her to the vet to see what is going on!
Member 930032 answered on 10/3/11. Helpful? / 0
Now, think about it...do you REALLY think any of us can tell you whether or not your dog will be okay WITHOUT SEEING THE DOG???? Even if we WERE veterinarians, we could not determine if your dog was fine or not without giving her an exam, certainly not something that can be done thru the internet.
PLEASE... although you apparently did not do the right thing in allowing your 8 month old baby to get bred, at least take proper care of her now and get her to a veterinarian so she can be examined and treated if something is wrong. There is no way puppies born two weeks early can survive, so yes, this IS considered an emergency, especially if she hasn't already had any prenatal checkups or at the very least an ultrasound, both basic requirements when responsibly caring for a pregnant dog.

ok now this must of been a ccident and if you dog is prenant and you think in two weeks let see if t=you have signs. Her teats (boobies) with get big and will be filled with milk, She also will get large in the belly so this is the first signs but the liqiud you say could be the fluid around the pups NOW I AM ASSUMEING she IS pregnant now. The fluid if clar and just running and you are sure it is not pee then you need to take your dog to a vet a pup can be to big to come out or one could be breached or I never seen this but I think she could be having a false pregnacy.
You seen her locked up I assume if not and she has not been near a male then what would make you think she is pregnant. There is not enough info here but naybe a little more info. I am not a vet but have brithed many pups. and Have had one dog go to the vet for a stuck pup. yup asap to the vet only way to be sure of all of this.

CLYMER LEGION 5, UNITED NRG 4: Kyle Detwiler scored the game-winning run on a throwing error in the bottom of the seventh inning to lift Clymer Legion to a win over visiting United NRG.
With the score tied 4-4 in the seventh, Clymer Legion's Wyatt Patterson laid down a bunt that a United NRG player fielded cleanly before throwing errantly over his first baseman's head to allow lead runner Detwiler to score the game-winning run.
"It was just a fun game to watch," Clymer Legion coach Bill Lightner said. "Both of these teams have had rough seasons, but we both played tough right down to the end. It was just a shame someone had to lose this one."
Clymer's Jimmy Lightner struck out one, walked one and surrendered three hits in two innings of relief to pick up the win. Lightner also smacked two singles.
Austin Shirley had two base hits for the winners.
Garrett Duckworth singled twice to pace United NRG.
Clymer Legion (3-14) travels to United NRG on Wednesday for its scheduled season finale. United NRG (2-10) plays host to Young Township on Friday.
KOVACIK INSURANCE 13, INDIANA LIONS 3: Kovacik Insurance piled up 13 hits and improved to 16-0 with an easy win over visiting Indiana Lions in a game that was shortened to six innings due to the mercy rule.
"They're doing a great job," Kovacik Insurance coach Dan Shirley said. "I've been coaching these kids since they were six and seven years old, and they're really playing well right now."
Dakota Sunday tossed a four-hitter to earn the win. Sunday struck out 13 and walked one.
Ryan Shirley singled three times, doubled and drove in four runs to power the Giants. Austin Gaston singled three times, and Cullen Gardner singled twice.
Losing pitcher Tommy Budash struck out six and walked seven in five innings.
Kovacik Insurance travels to Walbeck Insurance today. Indiana Lions (9-6) heads to Kovacik Insurance on Friday.

as of the shifter, get a short shift kit. theres plenty out there and most them replace all the worn out parts.
oil leak. start by getting a good size cardboard box thatll fit between the front wheels from the radiator to the firewall. top off the oil and let the engine run at idle for 10 minutes. if it drips somewhere the clean cardboard gives you a good reference point. if nothing drips it may be burning oil which means new rings
valve adjustment, yes both are the same gap
key, i had a local locksmith make me a new one, but i would pull/lube the ignition cylinder
carpet, couldnt help you there
a good teflon or graphite spray lubes sticky parts

It's big, it's bouncy, it's a white-knuckle ride of epic proportions and it's just about the most infamous hen weekend location on earth.
Blackpool is not the cultural epicentre of Britain exactly, more like the non-cultural centre, secure in its image as the icon of tacky taste and debauchery - the ultimate funfest that you either walk towards with open arms or run screaming from to your therapist. Blackpool hen weekends are a celebration of saucy 1950s picture postcards, and it's so cheesy it should be served on a board with wine and biscuits.
To ramp up your Blackpool hen weekend experience, we can provide everything from Pleasure Beach wristbands and quality accommodation, to impressively varied cuisine and guaranteed VIP nightclub entry in a place which is notorious for having bigger queues than Big Brother audition days. We know you just want to go wild here, so don't waste any more time than you have to at the planning stage. Give all that to us - you just concentrate on strapping yourselves in for a journey to the centre of the mirth!
Blackpool is the Ronseal of locations as far as hen weekends go - it does exactly what it says on your hat. You arrive, laughing; you unpack, a glass of bubbly to help get things started; you head off into town, eager to embrace the neon and the noise; you get slowly juiced along the way on about twelve differently-named concoctions, suddenly appreciating the fact that your group is part of the never-ending throng of friendly folk flowing from pub to pub - and then you wake up three weeks later in your own bed piecing together fragments of your weekend…
Expect pure, adulterated fun and frolics in a place that is as synonymous with alcohol and slot machines as Las Vegas – though with slightly fewer big cats and a hell of a lot more bingo. You just can't beat a hen weekend in Blackpool, this is like the British equivalent of Disneyworld - where donkey rides replace Mickey Mouse, and where you'll struggle to pick out one Goofy from another come 3am on the main promenade!

"I just wanted to say we had a fantastic time in Blackpool. As a group of 13 girls on a hen do, all we wanted was some fun and lots of laughs and we really got it!
We booked the Adonis Cabaret night and we had an AMAZING time. I would definately reccomend this night to anyone, its well worth it, especially to see Double Impact (you'll know what I mean if you see the show) This show is must for any girls off to Blackpool and the Last Night of Freedom team were fabulous!!
I dealt with Sean Palmer, really friendly and I can honestly say I will recommend this site to friends! Thanks for making my best friends hen so memorable!!"

I have collected quite a few pieces of post Hurricane Ike wood. It's been stored in our garage for a LONG TIME. I finally got up the nerve to do something "out of MY box"! When I first thought of hanging up a chunk of Hurricane weathered fencing over my mantel I thought I had gone crazy. But, now that it's up, I think I LOVE it.
That wreath is my first handmade wreath. Those cute pumpkin Mr. Wonderful picked up for me in the Target Dollar Spot. I'm IN LOVE with that Glade candle.
The pumpkin and fall pots are pretty leftovers from last years mantel.
I quickly made that little burlap pennant banner. The fence board just "needed something" over there, didn't it?
My SIL Teresa gave me that cute grapevine pumpkin! The other pumpkins are real, pine cones and berries are from a cute little fall decor set I bought for Alice.
What do y'all think? Have you ever stepped out of your comfort zone to create something?
Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see how I turned this old wood into art and how this precious girl loves to help her mama decorate!

Great service!
Simply put the whole experience was great and the staff behind the desk went above and beyond 'good' customer service.
Definitely recommend it.

Comfortable and well-equipped for an overnight stay
I needed a hotel for the night before travelling from Bristol airport the next day, and this Travelodge provided everything I needed.
It was clean and comfortable, well located and the staff were friendly and efficient. For me, the only slight downside was the food. Breakfast was very good, but my evening meal (vegetable lasagne and salad) was disappointing: two strips of lasagne with only a thin smear of filling in-between, a couple of bits of lettuce and tomato. It gave the impression of being mean.

Travelodge Bristol Mitchell Lane
This was our first stay at the Travelodge Bristol Mitchell Lane.
We'd spent our Christmas holiday in Paris and caught a late fight back to Bristol Airport, so we needed somewhere to spend just one night before we travelled home to Plymouth the following day. We arrived at the hotel at around 10:30pm, and had not made arrangements for dinner, we were very hungry when we arrived due to travelling all day so we were very pleasantly surprised that the hotel had a 24/7 bar serving hot food. We were unaware that the hotel offered this and did not expect this service from a Travelodge hotel. The man at reception was extremely helpful and friendly, we checked into our room and made our way down to the bar/restaurant for food. We ordered hot food and a bottle of wine. The staff member explained that he was working the shift alone, manning both the reception desk and the bar by himself, so service may be delayed. The food was actually served promptly and he did well to manage all the duties by himself. Our rooms was clean, modern and very well-kept. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again if we needed a budget hotel for a one-night stay or a short city break. I have stayed in many Travelodge hotels in the past and this was by far the best - the staff were friendly, helpful, efficient and the fact that the bar and restaurant operates in a 24/7 basis is fantastic.
We ere greeted upon checkout by a lady with a big smile who asked how our stay was and if there was anything else they could have done better. Other than no hair drying facilities, there isn't really anything we can fault with this hotel. Great value for money and just as expected, this is a great budget hotel which is clean, modern and comfortable with a great 24/7 bar and restaurant with late night menu.

Learning Landscapes 2.0: Adaptable educational environments
Crowther, Philip, Osborne, Lindy, & Caldwell, Glenda (2011) Learning Landscapes 2.0: Adaptable educational environments. [Design/Architectural Work]
Description of project
(PDF 285kB)
Supplemental Material.
Submitted design
Submitted Version.
This project has blended two streams of enquiry: temporary and transportable construction technology, and flexible blended-learning environments. It seeks to develop prototypes for a series of environments suited for the activities of learning (future-proofed schools), as practiced in the twenty first century. The research utilises techniques of: historic survey, case study, first-hand observation, and architectural design (as research). The design comprises three major components: The determinate landscape: in-situ concrete 'plate' that is permanent. The indeterminate landscape: a kit of pre-fabricated 2-D panels assembled in a unique manner at each site to suit the client and context; manufactured to the principles of design-for-disassembly. The stations: pre-fabricated packages of highly-serviced space connected through the determinate landscape.
This project was submitted to the 'Future Proofing Schools' competition (professional category) in October 2011. The competition was part of a research project supported under the Australian Research Council's Linkage Grant funding scheme (project LP0991146).

LAS VEGAS — A select group of leaders in graduate nursing education and nursing practice came together Wednesday during the 2013 Retail Clinician Education Congress to participate in a historic roundtable discussion on strengthening the relationship between practice and graduate nursing education in emerging models of care delivery.
"This is a historic endeavor and a level of collaboration that is unseen and unheard of and I'm so excited about it. The deans and the representatives of the universities coming together with people in practice — it is all about how do we take education and hook it and bridge it to practice to make sure we are serving the needs of the community and the patients, and that is what's happening here today," said Beverly Malone, CEO of the National League of Nursing. "It is a new, transformational model of how to deliver care, emphasizing affordability, accessibility and quality right where you do all of your shopping in so many other ways. To have that access is amazing and to have the quality of nurse practitioners to deliver the care is simply spectacular. So our educational colleagues are so excited, obviously from the discussion, and so committed to how we can bridge this and make it a partnership."
The NLN, in collaboration with the Convenient Care Association, sponsored the invitational roundtable. The goal: To structure transformative strategies to meet the current needs for increased numbers of advanced practice nurses to staff new models of health care delivery, for example, convenient care clinics and telehealth.
During the roundtable, participants discussed such topics as the role of graduate nursing education in preparing nurses to deliver advanced practice nursing care in a reformed healthcare system within new models of care delivery, and key considerations to frame new thinking about advanced practice nursing education, specifically the education of nurse practitioners, to participate in clinical experiences in alternative care delivery models.
"I believe this is a historic meeting. Bringing two major groups of nursing leaders together who care deeply about transforming nursing education in support of advancing our nation's health is an exciting opportunity for our profession," said Angela Patterson, chief nurse practitioner officer for CVS Caremark's MinuteClinic.
Added Sandy Ryan, chief nurse practitioner officer and clinical advocate for Walgreens' Take Care Health Systems, "As we look to transform the delivery of health care, we need to think differently and transform clinical education to meet the needs of patients nationally. I am honored, as a nurse leader in retail clinic, to be involved in a historic meeting with educational leaders in nursing to strategize ways to increase the number of advanced practice nurses."
Echoing the sentiment on the importance of the roundtable, Tine Hansen-Turton, executive director of the CCA, said, "It is a historic meeting. The industry and the nurse leaders and the universities coming together to really talk and strategize around how do we, together, build a workforce that's really trained and educated in the model of care, but also how do we partner to assure that we have clinical sites, we have faculty members working on both sides and that we, together, can help transform the healthcare system."
The 2013 RCEC conference, which is hosted by Drug Store News Group in conjunction with the Convenient Care Association and Partners in Healthcare Education, is being held at the Planet Hollywood Resort in Las Vegas. It runs from May 14 to May 16.

That Derek Bell hit .173 with the Pirates in 2001 is enough to qualify him as a bona-fide Burgh Bum. Yet his failure to flirt with the Mendoza Line is not what leads many to consider him a Bum. (Editor's note: the Mendoza Line is baseball's ultimate mark of mediocrity. The Mendoza line for batting average is generally set at .200, and named after longtime joke Major Leaguer and former Pirate Mario Mendoza, who frequently hit below the mark. Future Bum of the day? Stay tuned.)
All told, by the time he arrived in Pittsburgh, Bell had carved himself out a career as a solid big-league outfielder. He was, however, becoming closer and closer to reaping his AARP benefits, like many Bucco free-agents in the 2000's. He had won a World Series with Toronto in 1992, when Canada's Team defeated the heavily-mulleted Philadelphia Phillies. Bell went on to play for San Diego, Houston, and the Mets before arriving in Pittsburgh. In Houston, he was the lesser known of the "Killer B's" along with Jeff "Buff" Bagwell and Craig Biggio. Bell hit and fielded well, but did offer the occasional glimpse into his impending fall from grace. Case in point, he decided to choose the comeback game of Houston skipper Larry Dierker to air his displeasure with playing time. Dierker, who'd made a courageous recovery from a heart-attack in the dugout, was welcomed back by this mustached malcontent pissing and moaning about hitting sixth.
Bell came to Pittsburgh essentially because no one else wanted him, a fact he promptly validated with his paltry batting average in '01. Problem was, in Bell's eyes, a veteran--even one who hit .173--shouldn't have to compete for his job in Spring Training. What Bell told reporters that spring would become his legacy:
"Nobody told me I was in competition. If there is competition, somebody better let me know. If there is competition, they better eliminate me out of the race and go ahead and do what they're going to do with me. I ain't never hit in spring training and I never will. If it ain't settled with me out there, then they can trade me. I ain't going out there to hurt myself in spring training battling for a job. If it is [a competition], then I'm going into 'Operation Shutdown.' Tell them exactly what I said. I haven't competed for a job since 1991."
Operation Shutdown remains in effect to this day. Bell bailed from Spring Training shortly after, earning his release, and has been out of baseball ever since. He was last sighted in 2008 when he was arrested on possession and paraphernalia charges. In 2006, he was also arrested after police found crack cocaine and a warm crack pipe in his car during a routine traffic stop. He couldn't sniff the Mendoza Line, but boy can he sniff the white line. Hoooooooo.
Bell akso bears an uncanny resemblance "Super Troopers" character Arcot Ramathorn, ironically a law enforcement figure (above left).
FACT: Bell pitched an inning of mop-up duty as a Met in 2000, where he lit up the radar guns with pitches that mostly failed to top 50 MPH. We've seen harder throws in the carnival games at Kennywood. The Pirates ended up paying him $4.5 million to NOT play for them. The Super Genius himself, Mark Madden summarized the incident saying, "Derek Bell becomes the ultimate Pirate: Lives on a boat and steals money." What a bum.
The Best Damn Sports Show Period even made fun of the bum!(6:50 mark)

My favorite place to go
LOVE THIS PLACE! When I was younger they found out that I had bad skin allergies and have been able to get my beautiful coat back to normal. I know when I get to visit there I am well taken care of by the friendly staff. They are gentle so my shots don't hurt either and when I get to stay the night there I always have a human to keep me company. They treat me the same way my mother treats me.

ITworld.com –
The lifeblood of a consulting business is a steady stream of clients. Run out of clients and you've run out of business. But where do the clients come from? How many should you have? Are long-term projects better than short-term projects? The answer: it depends.
The art of consulting requires flexibility and diversification. Be open to jobs of any length, from one day to many months. Generally I find that anything less than a day is not worth doing, because of the overhead of agreements and paperwork. However, I am perfectly happy with long-term projects. Consider taking any type of work as long as it is related to your general field. You consider yourself a technical consultant and a client asks you for a market analysis? Do it! Never done it before? Figure it out. The broader your skills and experience, the easier it is to find new work.
While flexibility is important, diversification is crucial. Diversify your client base. Don't become overly dependent on any one client. Diversify the type of projects you work on, such as research, analysis, training, design, and business development.
Most important, diversify your methods of attracting clients. Attend conferences, moderate panel discussions, join industry associations, and attend their meetings. Get yourself listed in directories, write articles for trade publications, index your Webpage with a long list of industry-related keywords to all the major search engines, and keep meeting and talking with people in the industry.
To generate leads, learn who the other consultants are in your field, develop relationships with them, and agree to trade leads when an opportunity comes up that's better suited for the other person or when one of you is too busy.
Spend as much time as possible on the premises of present clients to meet new people and to discover what other projects may need doing. Be bold and be proactive. Learn what problems a company may be facing and then propose solutions. Nobody asked you? It doesn't matter. I have developed some of my best client relationships by making suggestions, getting initial feedback, and following up with a detailed proposal. Managers are faced with problems all day. They find it refreshing when somebody offers a solution.
Since your best source of work is repeat business, do everything to satisfy your existing clients. If you underestimate the time needed for a project, don't deliver an inferior product, but absorb the cost as an investment in your relationship and learn from your mistake. If your clients perceive you as effective, dependable, and trustworthy, they will hire you again, sooner or later. And if you've done a good job, you can bet they will mention your name to other companies. Ask your hiring managers for ideas of who else might use your services. While you're doing that, ask for feedback on your work so that you can continually improve.
Finally, be patient. Some jobs come through immediately. For others I have waited a year between the initial contact and the job itself. So keep prospecting, keep increasing your exposure, keep proposing solutions, keep planting seeds. Before long the jobs will come.

As many of you already know, yesterday I wrote an entry asking people to vote on a new MyIGN reward system. Responses the idea have proven rather polarizing thus far. Some users feel it would be a nice new, incentive-laden system for the community. Others however, feel that it would lead to more harm than good. However, I do not believe the full vision of what I am proposing is being understood by everyone, on either side. The previous blog is already rather filled with walls of text, and I think this is pretty important, so I'd like to take some time to explain just how I envision a system like this working.
First off (and possibly most important), I want to point out that the proposed idea yesterday is not something that is guaranteed to happen. I am not a MYIGN Staff member, and I do not work on the site. I'm just another person that enjoys using the site and being a part of the community, just like you. Please keep in mind that just because I'm proposing it does not mean anything will come of it. I set it out there, it's up to the community to decide whether they are interested in it being pushed forward. And even then, the idea could morph and change drastically by the time all is said and done. Please keep these things in mind.
Now, onto the matter at hand. The way I envision this going, let's say we have two different individuals. We'll call them Person A and Person B, and Person C (for one part). Here are some of their MYIGN stats.
Hypothetical 1
Person A: 1,500 followers, on page 1 of IGN superstars
Person B: 55 followers, not in the top 100 pages of IGN superstars
Person C: 180 followers, 10th page of IGN Superstars
Now say persons A and B are interested in having their blogs rated, but person C is not. Persons A and B would select the option to have their blogs rated. Person C on the other hand, doesn't care about the rating/badge system, and selects to remove the rating option for his blog. Person C continues going on his everyday business.
Hypothetical 2
Now we're down to persons A and B. So, they're both interested in having their blogs rated, and start blogging. Other MYIGN users rate each of their blogs. Last time, I used a scale of 1-10 asn an example for simplicity. I'm going to use it again, but let me remind you that this is just for explanatory purposes. Does not mean the final result would be this way.
Anyway, only blogs that meet a certain word requirement, along with a min. number of actual ratings and comments made, would be eligible to get an official rating. There needs to be an actual base to work from, so only allowing one rating and/or comment wouldn't be enough. And the goal here is to encourage more effort put into blogs. While perhaps word count isn't the best indicator, it is one that can at least be used to at least somewhat objectify the process. If a blog doesn't meet these requirements, it doesn't count toward the total.
So after the word/comment requirements are met, score for the blog would be added up. The user who wrote the blog would not see the overall score, nor would other users. Only the people behind the system (computers?) would know the actual user rating.
Now, let's say after a certain number of blogs, our two Persons have the following blog ratings:
Person A: 9
Person B: 9
Since both are exceptionally high scores, both persons A and B would be awarded a medal. This medal could go onto their profile, or some other visible area of the site. The medal itself would signify a personal achievement - one based off the community's response toward a user's blog, not one comparing the user's blog to other users.
So what would the benefit be of having a shiny medal (or badge) next to your username? Well, aside from the recognition of being rated a quality MyIGN user by one's peers, I also envision a MY IGN page for those who win medals. It could be similar to our current superstars page. Users who have a high rating would be put on here, and My IGN users could be directed to visit that page to see some of the best My IGN has to offer.
Using this page, person A and person B would be side by side, both being recognized for their accomplishments. This would not give an advantage to the more popular user (Person A). At worst, they're on equal terms. Personally, I think this benefits person B more, since they would get some much needed recognition.
It's similar to the principle behind the comm. nom blogs, really. The community gets together, and votes for their favorite blog that has, up until that point, gone relatively unnoticed. Using this system, it rewards bloggers of all popularity levels for their efforts. It's a way for the community to say, "Hey, you're something special, and I think your efforts on the blogs deserves to be recognized."
Now then, that's my idea. I hope that's cleared up a little bit of the confusion surrounding the idea from yesterday. However, if this idea still bothers people, that's alright too. I know it's not perfect.
I actually encourage you to leave feedback, even if it's negative. I'm not offended if people dislike this idea. Plus (and more importantly), feedback on this kind of stuff is what the My IGN Staff are looking for. They want to know how you feel about these things. Do you feel this is a terrible, horrible idea that ruins every fiber of the community? Say it! Do you think this is the best idea in a long time? Say it! They want to know what we think.
Between the feedback section and comments in blogs like this, hopefully we can all come together and find something that improves the community as a whole.

Still can't beat the evening parade at 8th and I though.

Those guys ROCK
excellant drill. now thats what i call gun control.
That's the form of gun control this world needs!
What's up?
10:10 am...it says video no longer available...:mad:
No video, any other links perhaps??
For those who haven't had the pleasure......the impressive thing is that this is done without any verbal commands at all. It's all cadence. Those with drill experience will be even more impressed if they see the team perform on grass, as they do every Friday evening during the summer. On grass, you don't have the audio feedback of shoes on a hard surface as you do here. Simply amazing and well worth the trip if you're ever in D.C. on a Friday during the summer.
Seen them in other posts but it is always nice to see a new one, they are great!
I had the honor of watching their performance at the Barracks in DC with the Corps Band. Breathtaking!
Thanks, it worked this time...glad I came back and tried it.
Impressive young men, and dedicated...
The few, the proud...

The UK government has launched a specialist cyber-enforcement team and allocated extra funding for Trading Standards as part of a campaign designed to clamp down on online scams.
OFT figures suggest online scams claim 3 million UK marks every year and result in losses of £3.5bn. Approaches most often arrive in the form of scam emails. The government is investing £4.3m over three years in a bid to clamp down on this growing source of crime. The money will allow the training and appointment of specialist trading standards enforcers in every region of England and in Scotland and Wales and the establishment of local computer labs.

Opinion is divided about ITV drama Mr Selfridge, Andrew Davies's new series about the man who founded the legendary London department store in 1909.
The series, starring Jeremy Piven as Harry Gordon Selfridge, is based on the book Shopping, Seduction and Mr Selfridge by Lindy Woodhead, and uses real and fictitious characters. It has been called "Downton with tills" and most reviews have been negative.
"The big surprise with Mr Selfridge was how much a visual feast it wasn't," said the Observer, while AA Gill in the Sunday Times called it "spectacularly, whoopingly dire". Still, audiences have loved the show, which attracted more than seven million viewers on its launch.
However, a mischievous source tells me that Davies has been having his own joke at its expense, telling friends and colleagues that he "started writing about Selfridges and ended up with Tesco". Whatever can that mean?
