Reassurance needed
I've been working on my dogs (17mth GSD bitch) reactivity to other dogs for a year and we got to the point she could get within 10mtrs without reacting. Recently, if she sees a dog at a 100yrds she goes crazy. Last week we had an off lead cocker spaniel rush at get repeatedly when she was on the lead, the dog had no recall and the owner left his dog to it. The cocker wasn't aggressive so he didn't seem to think he needed to keep his dog under control. She's been on a gradual decline for the last month. I'm going back to the beginning but could really do with some advice or reassurance.
I don't have any training classes but next week I am traveling 200 miles to spend a week with a really good trainer.
Are we ever going to get through this? She's now really stressed waiting for dogs to appear on every walk. It's horrible to see.

Sorry you had the decline. Good to go back and refresh the old foundation. Make sure your emotions aren't playing into her stress and try to rebuild her confidence with simple obedience and focus on you. Keep it all positive.
Hopefully the week with the trainer will give you some great tools for your toolbox! Best wishes
Think try to go back to your training from months ago and work on that. And try to look forward to the assistance you may get from the new trainer.
Good luck!
That's too bad. I'm sorry you had this experience. We have had setbacks like this too, primarily because of loose dogs. For us, it has been helpful to go to places where the dogs are all calm and working (an obedience class, canine good citizen, or tracking class) and just watch, feeding treats. It helps my dog to see that the other dogs are under control- but I really don't know what to tell you about dogs appearing off-leash in the distance because we still can't beat that one! They make you nervous, and then your dog feels nervous too.
If it's any consolation, if you go back to basics like onyx'girl said, it will probably be faster and easier progress moving through the various steps this time. It might also be nice to give her a break and drive her somewhere where there are absolutely no other dogs (I think they know the difference- they can probably smell them).
Let us know how the visit to the trainer goes!
I think that's why some of us like to carry something to deter the loose dogs: it gives us a sense of security, so we don't unduly stress out our dogs, which makes the whole encounter go so much smoother for everyone. I'm sorry this happened, but on the bright side - the dog wasn't aggressive, so at least that's good.
Are you choking up on your lead, or is she waking loose lead?
If she's pulling on lead, I'd get that under control first.
When she focuses on you first, leaves less room to worry about what's coming down the pike.
Good luck!
Thank you. We had a good walk at lunch time. We went to the local village and saw a greyhound and a collie pup. It was back to basics liver cake for looking at the dogs and not responding and for watching me. She didn't erupt once and we even managed to follow them for 10 mins, always at a decent distance.
We live in a very rural area. Livestock are everywhere so dog walkers tend to go to the same places. I was thinking of putting a notice up in the vets explaining that she's reactive and in training and politely asking people to not let their dogs run up to her. Do you think people would take offense? It's a small island and I don't want to offend people but at the same time I think it might help people understand why she's acting out and maybe they'll be a bit more considerate.

Such a sigh shouldn't offend. Some owners are not aware of how rude they are letting their dogs be.
If you have good relationship with your vet, ask for help.
Sometime time spent, even if on your same property, setting dog up for success - where no dogs will be encountered - getting full focus might help.
You'll probably never get this pup to trust or love other dogs, but you will be able to get her to ignore them.
Congrats for working so diligently on this.
Zyppi, she was on a loose lead. I was doing obedience and nose work with her in a field next to the beach. It's a spot that gives me a good view of people coming so I can get to a safe distance...or so I thought. The cocker came over the dunes and bolted right at her. She was on a long ish lead so went after it. Thankfully her reactions are all fear based and she didn't hurt the cocker. She had every chance to bite it but just stuck to barking. The cocker completely ignored her 'get out of my face' bark and kept going back for more. As the owner appeared the cocker ran off, I asked him to put his dog on a lead but it took him a while to catch it.
Hopefully we'll get through it but I find these set backs so frustrating.

I don't think asking other people to call their dogs away from yours will help, since I'm guessing that half the time the dogs won't recall anyways. Another problem's that these owners will now assume your dog is actually very aggressive, not simply reactive.
I have loose dogs galore where I live. It's part of the culture in this area. Not including my immediate neighbors' dogs, there's also the distant neighbors who ride their horses down the road with their loose dogs and another guy who exercises his dogs by riding his 4-wheeler down the road. I feel your pain, lol.

We know the people of this enchanting land welcome tourism: they have told us so many times. Now's your chance to discover it, too.
From its stunning and sacred pagodas to its Buddha-filled limestone caves, Myanmar offers so much to see and experience: why not discover it at your own pace, alongside the people you enjoy most? Hoping to spend a few days wandering amongst remote villages before embarking on a luxurious sojourn along the Andaman Sea?

Accompanied by our trusty and knowledgeable guides (who immediately put you at ease), Myanmar is yours to explore. We can take you to the country's ultra-remote Himalayan north, bring you face-to-face with the tribal villagers of the Shan States, and introduce you to the vestiges of the colonial Raj.

After a complaint has been filed, the allegations are reviewed for probable cause to proceed by the Investigation Committee of the Board, consisting of the Executive Director, Board Attorney, Director of Enforcement and Board Investigators.
If further investigation is warranted, the case is assigned to an investigator, who proceeds to gather all relevant information such as plans, plats, pictures, maps, documents and contracts. If specific knowledge about the quality of work is required, experts in land surveying and the various disciplines of engineering are consulted for their expertise. As part of the investigation, the investigator will generally contact the Respondent(s) requesting information and a response to the allegations. Often personal interviews with witnesses and Respondent(s) are conducted.
When the investigation is complete, the Investigator presents his findings to the Investigation Committee, who determines if formal charges will be filed against the Respondent(s). If charges are filed, Respondent(s) are served with a Formal Complaint that outlines the allegations and specific violations against Respondent(s), notice of date and time of the Hearing, and Respondent's rights including the right to counsel and the opportunity to respond, the right to compel the testimony of witnesses, to present evidence, and to argue all issues involved and Statement of Allegations/Charges Against Respondent(s).

Oswald Hope Robertson

Oswald Hope Robertson (2 June 1886 – 23 March 1966) was an English-born medical scientist who pioneered the idea of blood banks in the "blood depots" he established in 1917 during service in France with the US Army Medical Corps.
Robertson was born in Woolwich in south-east London, but at the age of one-and-a-half he emigrated with his parents to California, settling in the San Joaquin Valley. He attended local schools in Dinuba, then graduated from the Polytechnic High School in San Francisco.
His initial plan to study basic biology was changed by a meeting with an American medical student while on holiday in Germany. After attending some lectures on anatomy, he decided to study medicine, being admitted to the University of California in 1906. He later studied at Harvard Medical School, the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, but had to cut short his studies during World War I when he was called to join medical teams in France. Here he experimented with preserving human blood cells for use in blood transfusions, and became recognised as the inventor of the blood bank.
After World War I, he accepted an associate professorship at the Peking Union Medical College in Beijing, China. He became a Full Professor at the institution in 1923. In 1927 he returned to USA, and accepted a position as head of the Department of Medicine at the University of Chicago.
He remained at Chicago until retiring to emeritus status in 1951.
After retiring, Robertson moved to California. He died in Santa Cruz on March 23, 1966.

Construction/DIY How-To DVD Set?
Anyone know if there is any sort of DIY How-To DVD set or online video series or something like that about home construction/maintenance?? I'm pretty well versed in the trades, but I like watching stuff like that because I can usually extract some useful nuggets of information. I do a lot of remodeling and repair work (as opposed to new construction), so I think it would be cool to be taken step by step from the ground up. Thanks!
Check on Ebay.
I think you would be better off buy a book not a video.
Faster to find what your looking for and you can take it right to were your working.
The book Modern Carpentry is a book often used in class rooms and covers just about anything you may come across.
Not really. Better to get involved with your local habitat for humanity, or local church that has a men's ministry. Books & dvds do nothing. Even the garbage on the diy channels are just that.
YouTube is loaded----many are so bad that a novice will really screw up a job if they follow the videos.
(I moved this to 'general discussion' as 'how to' is for instructional threads)
On a related note......I have been scouring those DIY video's on shower pans.....after watching many of them, I don't feel like I'm any closer to doing the task than I was a month ago....
One set of video's shows how to do a hot mop and touts the "This is the best way to have a long term shower".....and then another web site says "Hot mopping is old school and a thing of the past, use our method".
About the only thing I have concluded so far....I may not be doing hot mop....but even then I'm 60/40 on it.....
So to the OP....look at who put out the video.....if they are selling something....it will be very biased.....
You might be better off looking at old episodes of "This Old House"...
The ones ddawg, that they built Bob Vila a house on, or their GC's brother a house after it burnt down? As for hot mopping, it is a art form like Lead & Oakum, from a bygone era.
Whatever you do, don't watch that "Jobsite" show on the History Channel. I watched the concrete pour episode, and about had a psychotic breakdown watching all the stuff the announcer was getting wrong.
I've seen Jobsite I agree with Mort :) I would recommend buying books, DVD quality and they are not so detailed.

A covered back porch is both wide enough and deep enough to find protection from the elements. Better yet, there's a stacked limestone fireplace to chase the chill during football season.

Trojans Dominate Oklahoma in Every Way
Jan. 5, 2005
By JOHN NADEL
MIAMI (AP) - LenDale White played a little possum, a little football and wrapped it up with a little Prime Time shuffle.
All part of his pre-game plan.
"I expected it," White said after helping No. 1 Southern California rout No. 2 Oklahoma 55-19 Tuesday night in the Orange Bowl.
"That's what happens when you talk a lot," White said. "Once Larry Birdine said we were a 1{-man team, I felt disrespected. We took them to the woodshed."
White referred to the Oklahoma defensive end who called USC's offense average and said quarterback Matt Leinart was overrated.
Leinart, the Heisman Trophy winner, passed for 332 yards and an Orange Bowl-record five touchdowns. He might have been the star, but several of his teammates did their part to make him look like this year's Heisman Trophy winner.
White, hampered in recent weeks by a sprained right ankle he sustained Dec. 4 against UCLA, gained 118 yards on 15 carries and scored two TDs.
"I listened to our trainers all month," he said. "I was playing a little bit of possum with everybody. I don't know if I was 100 percent, but I feel great."
White did a Deion Sanders celebration dance after scoring his second TD early in the fourth quarter, drawing a penalty flag.
It hardly mattered.
"I had to dance," he said. "That was for Deion. He's my favorite player. I told everybody if I got in the end zone and it was a blowout, I was going to dance."
USC's dominance began with Leinart's improbable 33-yard touchdown pass to Dominique Byrd late in the first quarter, tying the game 7-all.
Byrd sprinted past a linebacker, threw up his left hand and waved to signal he was open.
Then the 260-pound tight end did the near impossible - especially for his size. He corkscrewed through the air, pulled in the pass with his right hand and tumbled into the end zone.
"(Leinart) just told me to run hard and get open," Byrd said. "I knew that when the ball was in the air, I had to go up and get it. I had a one-on-one, I always feel when I'm one-on-one, I'm going to take it."
Byrd's touchdown was the first of four for the top-ranked Trojans in just over 10 minutes, giving them a 28-7 lead.
"We just knew if we played our game, it would turn out that way," said cornerback Eric Wright, who had one of USC's three interceptions.
The domination never stopped.
In addition to White and Byrd, there was the electric Reggie Bush, a Heisman finalist who dazzled the Sooners with 74 yards on the ground and another 31 receiving.
There was Steve Smith, who had seven receptions for 113 yards and three touchdowns - two in the second quarter on sliding receptions.
There was Dwayne Jarrett, who caught five passes for 115 yards and a TD.
They all have one thing in common - they're underclassmen. And so is the entire offensive line except for guard John Drake.
That means USC (13-0) could be even better next year. That's a scary thought for the rest of the country.
Leinart, a junior, is considered one of the top quarterback prospects available and could opt for the NFL draft, but he's been saying he'll likely return for his senior year.
Only four seniors start on defense and they're back up by top prospects, so there won't be much of a dropoff there, either.
Sophomore defensive Manuel Wright, for example, helped make life miserable for Oklahoma star Adrian Peterson.
At one point in the second quarter, after USC gang-tackled Peterson in holding him to a 1-yard gain, Wright sprung to his feet shaking as head as if to say, "No way."
By that time, the Trojans were assured of their 22nd straight victory dating back to early last season.
Oklahoma moved 92 yards for a touchdown on its first possession, but that was it for the Sooners.
Offensive coordinator Norm Chow and head coach Pete Carroll, who handles the defense, showed what they can do with a month to prepare for an opponent: The Trojans dominated in every way possible.

We knew it would happen at some point: Apple has nuked an application from the App Store for (likely) violating terms of AT&T's user agreement. Nullriver's "NetShare" application allowed iPhone users to share their 3G or EDGE connection from their iPhone with other devices over Wi-Fi. It was pulled down from the App Store after just 20 minutes.
This leads to a few questions:
• What the hell is happening in Apple's application review process? They obviously aren't looking too closely at the applications or NetShare wouldn't have gone up in the first place. What's the point of approving applications for distribution by hand if they aren't actually being viewed by editorial or policy experts?
• Why doesn't Apple have a netsharing application themselves? I'd be happy to pay the $30 premium a month to use my iPhone as an access point for my laptop, as would thousands of others, I suspect. It'd probably be somewhat taxing on the 3G infrastructure, but so what? That's why we pay for access on an additional device.

It's a pity Apple killed it for AT&T's sake. Now Nullriver will probably end up releasing it for free, forcing AT&T to chase down "bandwidth abusers" instead of generating extra revenue, while Apple will have lost their 30% cut of the software sales.

Friday 7 June 2013 - Kmart Australia Limited (Kmart) announced today that it would be a signatory to The Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh, headed by the two international union bodies IndustriALL and sister union UNI Global Union. This is part of a broad set of initiatives designed to ensure the safety of all factory workers who make Kmart products in Bangladesh.
Kmart Australia managing director Guy Russo has just returned from Bangladesh, having spent the week with his team reviewing factory safety and meeting with key stakeholders.
"We have completed meetings with the Kmart team based in Bangladesh, the Australian High Commission, BGMEA, ITS, SGS, Kmart suppliers, and the ILO. We have also completed fire and building safety audits for all of our factories to ensure we are fully informed and can determine appropriate health, safety and building integrity initiatives for those who work with us in the Bangladesh garment industry," he said.
Along with signing The Accord, Kmart will be implementing the following initiatives:
1. Only factories which meet Kmart's strict standards for safety and social compliance and share Kmart's values will be awarded ongoing business from Kmart. These standards have been enhanced for the elements of fire and building safety and subcontracting
2. Investment will be made in programs with chosen suppliers to develop and embed a safety culture in each of the factories where Kmart products are made
3. Kmart will support the National Tripartite Plan of Action on Fire Safety for the Ready Made Garment Sector in Bangladesh (NAP)
4. Kmart will undertake further in depth investigations of each factory where Kmart products are made to ensure the long term structural integrity of each building
5. A sustainable commitment to Bangladesh and all communities in which Kmart operates, initially through the charity Room to Read
Recent events in Bangladesh have of course been tragic. Many organisations are working hard to put actions in place to improve conditions in factories there. Kmart will work broadly and proactively in the factories where our products are made to ensure identified opportunities are actioned quickly. As new initiatives emerge Kmart will assess their merit and seek to support them when appropriate.
"I am committed to both our team and our suppliers in Bangladesh, who are as passionate as we are, to create safe and productive employment in a country which is so reliant on the garment industry. It is a privilege to be working in this country and my team and I look forward to a long and successful partnership with everyone in Bangladesh," Guy Russo said.

The Trend Extends: Spring 2009 Leather Shorts
After what will be a season of pvc leggings, zip-front leather skirts, and staple bomber jackets we should only expect to see leather shorts come Spring 2009. Here, in the Chloe Spring 2009 show, red leather shorts are teamed with a delicate nude blouse. The combination of pastels/nudes and red are also a hot grouping for the season meaning that this outfit is pretty high on the mark overall. We don't really want to picture the discomfort of wearing these shorts on a mid-summer day but in the evening we're sure they'd be a hit.

I have now take the time to try what you do. If I set
MATHEMATICA_USERBASE to an empty directory, then everything seems to
work, including DataPaclets (only thing to move might be the mathpass
file, if that is in your old USERBASE). In that directory I have grepped
all files for the name of that directory and it tells me that some
binary files within Paclet\Configuration match the string, so I would
guess these are a candidate for your problem.
Have you tried to only copy those files to your new USERBASE that you
know what they are good for? You might want to try an empty directory
first, if that works copy and try until you find the offending file(s)...

Greens have yet to receive contact from Ahern
The Green Party has said that it has not yet been contacted by the Taoiseach following reports that Bertie Ahern wants to have direct talks with the party leader, Trevor Sargent.
Green negotiator Dan Boyle said he and his colleagues have been reading the Fianna F€il leader's article in today's Sunday Independent newspaper with "as much interest as everyone else'".
Talks between the two sides ended without agreement on Friday - but both have indicated that the door remains open.
Mr Boyle said the Taoiseach's article sends a 'clear message' to Green supporters that he feels there's still a possibility that a deal can be done.
He stated that the Greens would have to give the matter 'serious consideration' if the intention is to help bridge the gaps between the two parties.
"If the Taoiseach feels there are grounds in which some of those issues can be addressed, and the best way of doing it is to contact Trevor Sargent, then there's a possibility that things might be revived," he said.

Dr. Neil Buckholtz is the director of the Division of Neuroscience [1] at the NIA. The Division fosters and supports extramural and collaborative research and training to further the understanding of neural and behavioral processes associated with the aging brain. An important component of the program is the support of basic, clinical, and epidemiological studies of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias of aging.
Dr. Buckholtz holds a doctorate in physiological psychology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and was a faculty member at the Medical University of South Carolina, Department of Psychiatry, from 1970 to 1983. Since joining NIA 23 years ago, he has been a leader in advancing Alzheimer's research.
Spotlight on Aging Research spoke with Dr. Buckholtz about how the field has evolved during his career, leading to a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of Alzheimer's and new tools in detecting the disorder.
A: Thanks to the dedication of researchers and clinicians determined to find a therapy for this complex and devastating disorder, we've come a long way over the past decade or so. While we are still frustrated by the fact that we have yet to find more effective treatments, the field has been tremendously energized by advances in detecting and tracking Alzheimer's pathology.
One high point was the development of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative [2] (ADNI), and its continued success. This is a longitudinal study to look at the best markers or combinations of markers in the brain to assess the changes that eventually lead to the symptoms of the disease. ADNI has evaluated people since 2004 and has been really critical to our understanding of the changes that occur in the brain over time and what comes first in the disease process. We know that these brain changes can begin 5, 10, or 15 years before the symptoms actually develop.
A: I think a real breakthrough—and I almost never use that word—came in 2004 with the development of Pittsburgh compound B. This is a chemical that binds to beta-amyloid in the brain so that the amount of beta-amyloid can be assessed using PET scans in living people. So, now we can use MRI imaging to look at brain structure over time and PET scans to detect and track the levels of beta-amyloid in the brain over time.
This breakthrough has transformed our understanding of the very earliest changes that occur in Alzheimer's disease, and it's been critical to the development of new therapeutics that target beta-amyloid. And now, work is underway on new PET chemicals that will allow us to look at tau in the living brain.
Another big evolution in the field is the widespread collaboration among researchers, with the sharing of data soon after it is obtained. ADNI study data, for example, are posted to a publicly accessible database available to qualified researchers worldwide. To date, more than 2,200 researchers have signed up for ADNI database access. ADNI is stimulating the development of a worldwide collaboration among academia, government, and industry researchers and has resulted in more than 350 published papers.
Collaboration has also been key to recent advances achieved by genome-wide association studies. I think everyone personally touched by Alzheimer's—from researchers to clinicians to those generous volunteers and their families participating in studies—share a deep appreciation that we must work together to reach our end goal of finding effective therapies.
A: Most definitely, and this, too, is reason for optimism. In 2012, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease [3]. One focus of the Plan, the one aimed at research, is to develop new ways to prevent or treat Alzheimer's disease by 2025. It not only calls for the testing of effective therapies for people who currently have Alzheimer's—and in the United States this may be as many as 5 million people—but also focuses on trying to change the course of the disease, by slowing down disease progression. And eventually, we hope to be able to delay the onset or prevent Alzheimer's disease entirely. The new national push on Alzheimer's has re-energized all of us, I think, and has elevated research on Alzheimer's in the national conversation about aging and health.
A: A number of areas are advancing our understanding of Alzheimer's disease. One of these is biomarkers to assess the pathophysiological changes that occur in the living human brain long before symptoms appear. We have ways of assessing beta amyloid, using PET scans, and there are new chemicals that are going to allow us to assess tau. There are biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid that can be measured. And again, these changes occur many years before the clinical symptoms. So this has been a major advance in our ability to assess people, what we call pre-symptomatically or pre-clinically, before the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease develop.
Another advance has been in the area of genetics and genomics. We've known for some time that there are three mutated genes that lead to dominantly inherited, early-onset Alzheimer's disease. In families with these genes, people get Alzheimer's disease in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. However, there are also a number of risk factor genes for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, which occurs after about the age of 60 or 65. So if you have one or more of these risk factor genes, your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease is increased, but it doesn't mean that you're actually going to get the disease.
One gene that we've known about for 20 years is APOE ε4. But now, through genome wide association studies as well as whole genome sequencing studies, we've identified other risk factor genes for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. We're trying to understand how these genes interact with each other, how they interact with the environment, and how they may provide us with leads for development of new therapeutics or interventions.
Our Alzheimer's disease clinical trials also offer hope. Currently approved treatments provide symptomatic benefit to people who already have Alzheimer's disease. However, what we really want to do is to be able to prevent it, or delay its onset and delay disease progression. So the clinical trials that are starting now and will be starting over the next year or two are really focused on the pre-clinical or pre-symptomatic stage of the disease where treatment might be most effective. We can now identify people in the pre-symptomatic stages who are at high risk for developing Alzheimer's with the use of biomarkers in cerebral spinal fluid and by the use of various kinds of imaging. Hopefully, some of these drugs that are being tested will actually be able to delay the disease progression or eventually delay the onset of disease.
A: Funding, especially in this economic climate, is definitely a challenge for the research community. We are committed to working smarter, to finding ways to leverage our resources, and to looking at new ways to do things. Collaboration and open accessibility to data, of course, are vital to making the most of our available resources.
We also need to better understand the pathophysiological changes that occur in the brains of people who will eventually develop the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Since 1906, when Alois Alzheimer described the brain of a woman who died of what we now call Alzheimer's disease, we've known about plaques and tangles. And in the 1970s and 1980s, the proteins that are involved in development of these plaques and tangles were identified—beta-amyloid for plaques and tau for tangles.
But we now understand that there are a lot of other things going on in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. For example, we know that inflammation occurs. What we don't know is whether inflammation is an initiating event or is a consequence of the development of other pathologies, such as the plaques and tangles. There are synaptic changes that occur. There's also the death of nerve cells in the brain. All of these things are changing over time. The hope is that by understanding these changes, we'll have better targets for developing new therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease.
A: The International Alzheimer's Disease Research Portfolio (IADRP) [4] is one way to assess the research on Alzheimer's disease that's funded not only by the National Institutes of Health but by other government agencies, such as the Veterans Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as non-government organizations like the Alzheimer's Association. The freely accessible database, a collaborative effort between NIA and the Alzheimer's Association, also incorporates funders based in other countries. So, you can search various categories to look at what is being funded over time.
For example, we know that preclinical Alzheimer's disease drug discovery has changed with respect to the proportion of grants that focus on beta-amyloid versus non-beta-amyloid targets. IADRP gives you a better idea of how the funding is changing over time and what exactly is being funded internationally.
A: If I had to pick just one, I'd share that I was very intrigued by the idea of subjective cognitive impairment. We've known for some time that many people think that their memory is getting worse, but it hasn't been really clear if this is a harbinger of Alzheimer's disease or just something that people believe that really doesn't have a major effect on the development of the disorder.
However, at the meeting, a number of studies were presented that indicated that when people believe that their memory is getting worse and this is corroborated by someone else—their spouse, a friend, somebody like that—then actually there may be an increased risk of subsequent development of Alzheimer's disease. I think that this is going to be looked at much more with respect to trying to understand the phenomenon, as well as trying to see if we can pick up brain changes that are related to this subjective cognitive impairment.

The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." "The sorrows for the appointed feasts I will remove from you; they are a burden and a reproach to you. At that time I will deal with all who oppressed you; I will rescue the lame and gather those who have been scattered. I will give them praise and honor in every land where they were put to shame. At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes," says the Lord.
A few months later and still very broken, I decided that I was going to spend the next three weeks fasting and praying for my future husband. This time of fasting was really a healing process for me. I did the Daniel Fast and spent that time praying that God would give me the grace to wait for the one He had for me. The funny thing is that a couple days after I broke my fast, Brian and I had a run-in after a couple years of not seeing each other. A mutual friend, who is my mentor, had us over for a party and we chatted a little bit. Little did I know that Brian had said something to my mentor about how I would be an awesome wife to someone one day. God was definitely moving! I still had some healing to do and so nothing could happen for a little while longer, but I had caught my man's eye
- Look at your desires. Psalm 37:4 says that when we delight ourselves in the Lord, He will gives us our heart's desires. A delight in the Lord brings godly desires. If you truly desire to have a God-honoring marriage one day, guess what--that is a godly desire! Fall in love with the Lord and pray that He will give you your heart's desires!
- When praying about a particular man, be open with God about your feelings. He already knows anyway
- God moves when we fast! I highly encourage taking periods of time every now and then to fast (could be from food, tv, internet, etc.) and using the time to pray about and for your husband and future marriage. Pray that God would strengthen you so that you can wait on Him. Pray that He would make you the woman you need to be for your husband one day. Pray that He would be strengthening your future husband's relationship with Himself. Pray that He would orchestrate everything according to His will.
- Pray with the mentors and leaders in your life. Be open and honest with them about your feelings. There is so much power in prayer and the more righteous people praying with and for you, the better. James 5:16 says that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
- Know that the Lord's will is the only will that you will truly be satisfied in. Trust His will. Give Him control.

Dud deals thick on the ground in IT sector
Page Tools
Having trouble naming a big merger among technology companies that ended well?
Hardly surprising - there aren't many.
With the ousting of Carly Fiorina from Hewlett-Packard on Wednesday, her much-derided acquisition of Compaq Computer in 2002 was officially added to the list of disasters.
Remember when AT&T swallowed National Cash Register Corp in a $US7.4 billion hostile takeover in 1991? Or Compaq's $US9.6 billion acquisition of Digital Equipment Corp in 1998? Or how about America Online's $US4 billion acquisition of Netscape Communications in 1998? All duds.
More than half of the mergers and acquisitions in all industries fail to live up to expectations, but when it comes to big mergers in the technology industry it seems the success rate is worse.
"There have been very few mergers that have succeeded in maturing technology sectors," said Pip Coburn, technology strategist for UBS Warburg. "Large companies have very established cultures and merging them in a fast-moving business like information technology is very hard."
The problem facing big technology deals like the HP-Compaq one is they often combine struggling businesses rather than thriving ones, said Krishna Palepu, senior associate dean and director of research at Harvard Business School, who wrote a case study on that merger.
"Putting two businesses that aren't doing well together doesn't help in any industry unless there are economies of scale to produce savings," Ms Palepu said. In the case of Hewlett-Packard and Compaq, the savings would have had to be huge to help it beat Dell Computer in the fiercely competitive personal computer market. "Getting as big as Dell doesn't help if you aren't as good as Dell, " she said.
The same situation befell one of the original technology deals, when Sperry and Burroughs merged into Unisys in 1986, in an attempt to create a credible alternative to IBM. The stock rose initially but lost as much as 94 per cent of its value at one point.
Ms Palepu also said that a significant amount of the value in IT companies lay in the people who worked for the acquired company, many of whom left soon after a merger. That differs markedly from a commercial banking merger, for example, which can survive an exodus of employees because the value lies much more in the assets and the potential for cost cuts.
Despite the history of less-than-successful deals, technology companies continue to press ahead with big mergers.
In December, Symantec, the maker of the Norton line of computer security software, announced an agreement to buy Veritas Software, a producer of data storage programs, for about $US13.5 billion. Shareholders have derided the deal and its value has dropped more than 30 per cent.
"They felt they had to buy into the enterprise market when they got the chance," UBS's Mr Coburn said of Symantec's strategy in bidding for Veritas. One reason Symantec felt compelled to take the risk of making such a big deal and diversifying its business was that it faced competition from Microsoft, which has acquired several small security companies in recent months and is quickly moving in on Symantec's core business. Nevertheless, Wall Street investors smell another loser.
In December, Oracle finally concluded a deal to acquire PeopleSoft for $US10.3 billion. Oracle's stock, which rose $US1.35 to close at $US14.63 on the day the deal was announced, has since fallen to $US13.17.
Of course, not all technology deals turn sour. While the biggest seem to disappoint, smaller ones that do not make for big headlines have often been quite successful.
A. M. Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C Bernstein & Co, said IBM's purchase of Tivoli Systems in 1996 for $US783 million "was a very good acquisition". Tivoli, which had more flexible systems management software and tools than IBM's internally developed products, helped vault IBM into a leadership position in that field.
Mr Coburn also said some smaller transactions had been runaway hits, citing dozens of small deals in the mid-1990s that laid the foundation for Cisco Systems' dominance in the electronic-switching market, such as its acquisition of Kalpana, a privately held company, in a stock swap valued at $US204 million, or its acquisition of Combinet for $US114 million. "The deals that work well involve larger companies buying research and development."
That may be true. But defenders of some of the biggest dud deals can always counter their critics with one unanswerable question: would things have been better if the deal never happened?

I thought I was done with blogging until after the Gorsedd, but then a Facebook friend pointed me toward this column by Rev. Christy Thomas, pastor of First United Methodist Church of Krum, Texas. It's part of a series she's doing rebutting the excuses people give for not going to church (or, to be more generic and inclusive, for avoiding religious community).
In this column, Rev. Thomas blasts the "spiritual but not religious" crowd for their ignorance of religious foundations, traditions, thoughts, and practices. She says such people are essentially saying "My feelings about God, however vague and unformed, do not need the discipline of examination, study and exposure to different ideas to develop and grow healthily."
She's right.
A lot of folks in UU churches call themselves "spiritual but not religious." Amy Martin's Earth Rhythms seasonal celebrations are filled with them. And I know and have known many. Most of them are good people. A few of them are genuine seekers: people who've figured out that the religion of their childhood doesn't work for them but who haven't yet found their true path.
But those who are genuinely seeking are also reading, studying, praying, meditating, and visiting various houses of worship. They haven't yet found what they want to dive deeply into, but at least they're working at it – they're trying stuff on to see what fits. Calling yourself "spiritual but not religious" is all too frequently an excuse for spiritual laziness.
Spiritual growth requires work. Much of that work is done alone, in daily practice. But there is a limit to how far you can grow on your own. You need someone or someones to bounce ideas off, someone to help you figure out if what you're thinking/feeling/believing really makes sense. You need someone to be accountable to – someone you know will ask if you sat in meditation this week or if you read the book you said you were going to read.
Beyond that, you need a community to provide a place to put your faith into action. Religion and spirituality are great, but they're not just about walking with God or drawing down the Moon. They're also about making a tangible difference in the material world. Alone, we can't do much.
Together… that's another matter entirely.

Do You Follow Your Gut or Data?
January 18, 2012
In working on the 2012 forecast piece for the January/February issue, I had the opportunity to talk to a lot of folks in the window and door industry about what they expect for the coming year. We covered a lot of topics, as I'm sure you can imagine, ranging from the significant challenges our industry continues to face, to the overlooked opportunities that some companies are pursuing in a down market.
One comment in particular, however, stands out among the rest. One of my interviewees pointed out to me that his company is highly data driven in its decision making. In other words, his company doesn't go with gut instinct when it comes time to offer new products or improve support materials to its distributor network. Instead, executives rely strictly on data and facts to make decisions. This, he notes, allowed his company to avoid "drinking the industry Kool-Aid" when making projections for 2011 (they didn't anticipate growth, where many companies did) and paved the way for some successful product introductions based on buying patterns and regional preferences.
Still, this just-the-facts-ma'am approach to business isn't the only way to succeed. Plenty of companies have built their models around industry experience and a "gut feel" for what will succeed in the marketplace. My question for you this week is where your company falls on the spectrum—is your team one of data-based decision makers or do you rely more on the collective experience of the group and follow your intuition?
Please send me an email or post a comment to share with me how your company approaches strategic decision making. Facts, gut, or a blend of both? What approach do you think is most successful in our business?
Survey Results as of 01/23/2012 :
When it comes to strategic decision making, my company relies more heavily on:
Collective experience and gut instincts
Statistics and facts
The responses to this week's poll definitely reflects the entrepreneurial nature of the window and door industry. With nearly 70 percent of respondents relying on their gut instinct to make business decisions, we could probably venture to guess that experience in the industry and a deep understanding for customers' needs is where many window and door companies can peg their success.
Still, I do wonder if the folks who follow the facts are increasing in number compared to a few years back. Would the fact follwers have been 5 percent or 10 percent of the population during the construction boom? Do you think that if we ask the same question a year or two from now we might find that the data-driven decision makers are increasing in number? In a market where there's relatively little room for error, perhaps that will be the case.
I think data driven decisions have a definite place in making business decisions. However, I wonder if Thomas Edition did a survey to determine the statistically probability of market success for the incandescent light bulb. I, too, wonder if Henry Ford perused the market analysis report before he ventured into the Model-T concept. Those that have a vision take the most risks and most fail. The few that succeed are the revolutionaries in the industry and/or society. However, since the risk is so high, I believe it makes sense to achieve some sort of balance. As I write this, your poll indicates that 69% believe in "gut instincts" and 31% believe in "statistics and facts". I think that is a very good balance for business managers when making business decisions. To put it another way: " I make my decisions very close to the results of the poll, 69% gut instinct, tempered with 31% of statistically support."
Abe Gaskins, President MGM Industries
We very carefully gather data (from our sales, and customers) and continously review & analyze it to assist in our decision making, mostly in regard to how we spend our marketing / advertising dollars. While we leave room for a bit (20%) of speculation, our 2012 plan has already been laid out. We are intelligently positioned to change course quickly if need be but don't expect any significant surprises.
Small companies, like us, don't usually have access to the kind of data that is locally focused enough to allow us to use it to make business decisions. In my case, I try to stay connected to my community in various ways (Rotary - City planning commissions- etc) and talk to my builder customers.
But more important, IMHO, is the postive passion of management in motivating employees. Our competitors are "down in the dumps" over this economy. But my salesguys go out there armed with "good news". We were UP in 2011 and have already got the word we will be awarded a contract this year worth almost 25% of 2011 sales. Why? The way we *serviced* this builder in 2011.
Working with "data" allows you to stay with the crowd. I prefer to soar with the eagles.....alone.

The Mayes County (Oklahoma) Old Order Amish Settlement was located southwest of Choteau, Oklahoma. Among the first Amish families who came there (1910) were Rudy Yoder and M. K. Yoder from Custer County, OK, Eli Mast from Ford County, Kansas, David Plank from Reno County, Kansas, R. B. Detweiler from Geauga County, Ohio, and Eli Miller from Tuscarawas County, Ohio. The first bishop of the group was M. J. Troyer, and L. M. Yoder was the first minister. There has always been only one district. In 1956 the membership was 64.
